git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull VDSO updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Provide the missing 64-bit variant of clock_getres() This allows the extension of CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME to the vDSO and finally the removal of 32-bit time types from the kernel and UAPI. - Remove the useless and broken getcpu_cache from the VDSO The intention was to provide a trivial way to retrieve the CPU number from the VDSO, but as the VDSO data is per process there is no way to make it work. - Switch get/put_unaligned() from packed struct to memcpy() The packed struct violates strict aliasing rules which requires to pass -fno-strict-aliasing to the compiler. As this are scalar values __builtin_memcpy() turns them into simple loads and stores - Use __typeof_unqual__() for __unqual_scalar_typeof() The get/put_unaligned() changes triggered a new sparse warning when __beNN types are used with get/put_unaligned() as sparse builds add a special 'bitwise' attribute to them which prevents sparse to evaluate the Generic in __unqual_scalar_typeof(). Newer sparse versions support __typeof_unqual__() which avoids the problem, but requires a recent sparse install. So this adds a sanity check to sparse builds, which validates that sparse is available and capable of handling it. - Force inline __cvdso_clock_getres_common() Compilers sometimes un-inline agressively, which results in function call overhead and problems with automatic stack variable initialization. Interestingly enough the force inlining results in smaller code than the un-inlined variant produced by GCC when optimizing for size. * tag 'timers-vdso-2026-02-09' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: vdso/gettimeofday: Force inlining of __cvdso_clock_getres_common() x86/percpu: Make CONFIG_USE_X86_SEG_SUPPORT work with sparse compiler: Use __typeof_unqual__() for __unqual_scalar_typeof() powerpc/vdso: Provide clock_getres_time64() tools headers: Remove unneeded ignoring of warnings in unaligned.h tools headers: Update the linux/unaligned.h copy with the kernel sources vdso: Switch get/put_unaligned() from packed struct to memcpy() parisc: Inline a type punning version of get_unaligned_le32() vdso: Remove struct getcpu_cache MIPS: vdso: Provide getres_time64() for 32-bit ABIs arm64: vdso32: Provide clock_getres_time64() ARM: VDSO: Provide clock_getres_time64() ARM: VDSO: Patch out __vdso_clock_getres() if unavailable x86/vdso: Provide clock_getres_time64() for x86-32 selftests: vDSO: vdso_test_abi: Add test for clock_getres_time64() selftests: vDSO: vdso_test_abi: Use UAPI system call numbers selftests: vDSO: vdso_config: Add configurations for clock_getres_time64() vdso: Add prototype for __vdso_clock_getres_time64()

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull MSI updates from Thomas Gleixner: "Updates for the [PCI] MSI subsystem: - Add interrupt redirection infrastructure Some PCI controllers use a single demultiplexing interrupt for the MSI interrupts of subordinate devices. This prevents setting the interrupt affinity of device interrupts, which causes device interrupts to be delivered to a single CPU. That obviously is counterproductive for multi-queue devices and interrupt balancing. To work around this limitation the new infrastructure installs a dummy irq_set_affinity() callback which captures the affinity mask and picks a redirection target CPU out of the mask. When the PCI controller demultiplexes the interrupts it invokes a new handling function in the core, which either runs the interrupt handler in the context of the target CPU or delegates it to irq_work on the target CPU. - Utilize the interrupt redirection mechanism in the PCI DWC host controller driver. This allows affinity control for the subordinate device MSI interrupts instead of being randomly executed on the CPU which runs the demultiplex handler. - Replace the binary 64-bit MSI flag with a DMA mask Some PCI devices have PCI_MSI_FLAGS_64BIT in the MSI capability, but implement less than 64 address bits. This breaks on platforms where such a device is assigned an MSI address higher than what's supported. With the binary 64-bit flag there is no other choice than disabling 64-bit MSI support which leaves the device disfunctional. By using a DMA mask the address limit of a device can be described correctly which provides support for the above scenario. - Make use of the DMA mask based address limit in the hda/intel and radeon drivers to enable them on affected platforms - The usual small cleanups and improvements" * tag 'irq-msi-2026-02-09' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: ALSA: hda/intel: Make MSI address limit based on the device DMA limit drm/radeon: Make MSI address limit based on the device DMA limit PCI/MSI: Check the device specific address mask in msi_verify_entries() PCI/MSI: Convert the boolean no_64bit_msi flag to a DMA address mask genirq/redirect: Prevent writing MSI message on affinity change PCI/MSI: Unmap MSI-X region on error genirq: Update effective affinity for redirected interrupts PCI: dwc: Enable MSI affinity support PCI: dwc: Code cleanup genirq: Add interrupt redirection infrastructure genirq/msi: Correct kernel-doc in <linux/msi.h>

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar: "Lock debugging: - Implement compiler-driven static analysis locking context checking, using the upcoming Clang 22 compiler's context analysis features (Marco Elver) We removed Sparse context analysis support, because prior to removal even a defconfig kernel produced 1,700+ context tracking Sparse warnings, the overwhelming majority of which are false positives. On an allmodconfig kernel the number of false positive context tracking Sparse warnings grows to over 5,200... On the plus side of the balance actual locking bugs found by Sparse context analysis is also rather ... sparse: I found only 3 such commits in the last 3 years. So the rate of false positives and the maintenance overhead is rather high and there appears to be no active policy in place to achieve a zero-warnings baseline to move the annotations & fixers to developers who introduce new code. Clang context analysis is more complete and more aggressive in trying to find bugs, at least in principle. Plus it has a different model to enabling it: it's enabled subsystem by subsystem, which results in zero warnings on all relevant kernel builds (as far as our testing managed to cover it). Which allowed us to enable it by default, similar to other compiler warnings, with the expectation that there are no warnings going forward. This enforces a zero-warnings baseline on clang-22+ builds (Which are still limited in distribution, admittedly) Hopefully the Clang approach can lead to a more maintainable zero-warnings status quo and policy, with more and more subsystems and drivers enabling the feature. Context tracking can be enabled for all kernel code via WARN_CONTEXT_ANALYSIS_ALL=y (default disabled), but this will generate a lot of false positives. ( Having said that, Sparse support could still be added back, if anyone is interested - the removal patch is still relatively straightforward to revert at this stage. ) Rust integration updates: (Alice Ryhl, Fujita Tomonori, Boqun Feng) - Add support for Atomic<i8/i16/bool> and replace most Rust native AtomicBool usages with Atomic<bool> - Clean up LockClassKey and improve its documentation - Add missing Send and Sync trait implementation for SetOnce - Make ARef Unpin as it is supposed to be - Add __rust_helper to a few Rust helpers as a preparation for helper LTO - Inline various lock related functions to avoid additional function calls WW mutexes: - Extend ww_mutex tests and other test-ww_mutex updates (John Stultz) Misc fixes and cleanups: - rcu: Mark lockdep_assert_rcu_helper() __always_inline (Arnd Bergmann) - locking/local_lock: Include more missing headers (Peter Zijlstra) - seqlock: fix scoped_seqlock_read kernel-doc (Randy Dunlap) - rust: sync: Replace `kernel::c_str!` with C-Strings (Tamir Duberstein)" * tag 'locking-core-2026-02-08' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (90 commits) locking/rwlock: Fix write_trylock_irqsave() with CONFIG_INLINE_WRITE_TRYLOCK rcu: Mark lockdep_assert_rcu_helper() __always_inline compiler-context-analysis: Remove __assume_ctx_lock from initializers tomoyo: Use scoped init guard crypto: Use scoped init guard kcov: Use scoped init guard compiler-context-analysis: Introduce scoped init guards cleanup: Make __DEFINE_LOCK_GUARD handle commas in initializers seqlock: fix scoped_seqlock_read kernel-doc tools: Update context analysis macros in compiler_types.h rust: sync: Replace `kernel::c_str!` with C-Strings rust: sync: Inline various lock related methods rust: helpers: Move #define __rust_helper out of atomic.c rust: wait: Add __rust_helper to helpers rust: time: Add __rust_helper to helpers rust: task: Add __rust_helper to helpers rust: sync: Add __rust_helper to helpers rust: refcount: Add __rust_helper to helpers rust: rcu: Add __rust_helper to helpers rust: processor: Add __rust_helper to helpers ...

13 daysRevert "pid: make __task_pid_nr_ns(ns => NULL) safe for zombie callers"Oleg Nesterov
This reverts commit abdfd4948e45c51b19162cf8b3f5003f8f53c9b9. The changelog in this commit explains why it is not easy to avoid ns == NULL when the caller is exiting, but pid_vnr() is equally unsafe in this case. However, commit 006568ab4c5c ("pid: Add a judgment for ns null in pid_nr_ns") already added the ns != NULL check in pid_nr_ns(), so we can remove the same check from __task_pid_nr_ns().

13 dayspidfs: convert rb-tree to rhashtableChristian Brauner
Mateusz reported performance penalties [1] during task creation because pidfs uses pidmap_lock to add elements into the rbtree. Switch to an rhashtable to have separate fine-grained locking and to decouple from pidmap_lock moving all heavy manipulations outside of it. Convert the pidfs inode-to-pid mapping from an rb-tree with seqcount protection to an rhashtable. This removes the global pidmap_lock contention from pidfs_ino_get_pid() lookups and allows the hashtable insert to happen outside the pidmap_lock. pidfs_add_pid() is split. pidfs_prepare_pid() allocates inode number and initializes pid fields and is called inside pidmap_lock. pidfs_add_pid() inserts pid into rhashtable and is called outside pidmap_lock. Insertion into the rhashtable can fail and memory allocation may happen so we need to drop the spinlock. To guard against accidently opening an already reaped task pidfs_ino_get_pid() uses additional checks beyond pid_vnr(). If pid->attr is PIDFS_PID_DEAD or NULL the pid either never had a pidfd or it already went through pidfs_exit() aka the process as already reaped. If pid->attr is valid check PIDFS_ATTR_BIT_EXIT to figure out whether the task has exited. This slightly changes visibility semantics: pidfd creation is denied after pidfs_exit() runs, which is just before the pid number is removed from the via free_pid(). That should not be an issue though.

13 daystracing: Fix false sharing in hwlat get_sample()Colin Lord
The get_sample() function in the hwlat tracer assumes the caller holds hwlat_data.lock, but this is not actually happening. The result is unprotected data access to hwlat_data, and in per-cpu mode can result in false sharing which may show up as false positive latency events. The specific case of false sharing observed was primarily between hwlat_data.sample_width and hwlat_data.count. These are separated by just 8B and are therefore likely to share a cache line. When one thread modifies count, the cache line is in a modified state so when other threads read sample_width in the main latency detection loop, they fetch the modified cache line. On some systems, the fetch itself may be slow enough to count as a latency event, which could set up a self reinforcing cycle of latency events as each event increments count which then causes more latency events, continuing the cycle. The other result of the unprotected data access is that hwlat_data.count can end up with duplicate or missed values, which was observed on some systems in testing. Convert hwlat_data.count to atomic64_t so it can be safely modified without locking, and prevent false sharing by pulling sample_width into a local variable. One system this was tested on was a dual socket server with 32 CPUs on each numa node. With settings of 1us threshold, 1000us width, and 2000us window, this change reduced the number of latency events from 500 per second down to approximately 1 event per minute. Some machines tested did not exhibit measurable latency from the false sharing.

One crucial missing piece is the handling of cpuset: when an isolated partition is created, deleted, or its CPUs updated, all the unbound kthreads in the top cpuset become indifferently affine to _all_ the non-isolated CPUs, possibly breaking their preferred affinity along the way. Solve this with performing the kthreads affinity update from cpuset to the kthreads consolidated relevant code instead so that preferred affinities are honoured and applied against the updated cpuset isolated partitions. The dispatch of the new isolated cpumasks to timers, workqueues and kthreads is performed by housekeeping, as per the nice Tejun's suggestion. As a welcome side effect, HK_TYPE_DOMAIN then integrates both the set from boot defined domain isolation (through isolcpus=) and cpuset isolated partitions. Housekeeping cpumasks are now modifiable with a specific RCU based synchronization.

There are also quite a few changes in the cppc_cpufreq driver, mostly related to fixing its frequency invariance engine in the case when the CPPC registers used by it are not in PCC. In addition to that, support for AM62L3 is added to the ti-cpufreq driver and the cpufreq-dt-platdev list is updated for some platforms. The remaining cpufreq changes are assorted fixes and cleanups. Next up is cpuidle and the changes there are dominated by intel_idle driver updates, mostly related to the new command line facility allowing users to adjust the list of C-states used by the driver. There are also a few updates of cpuidle governors, including two menu governor fixes and some refinements of the teo governor, and a MAINTAINERS update adding Christian Loehle as a cpuidle reviewer. [Thanks for stepping up Christian!] The most significant update related to system suspend and hibernation is the one to stop freezing the PM runtime workqueue during system PM transitions which allows some deadlocks to be avoided. There is also a fix for possible concurrent bit field updates in the core device suspend code and a few other minor fixes. Apart from the above, several drivers are updated to discard the return value of pm_runtime_put() which is going to be converted to a void function as soon as everybody stops using its return value, PL4 support for Ice Lake is added to the Intel RAPL power capping driver, and there are assorted cleanups, documentation fixes, and some cpupower utility improvements.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki: "This one is significantly larger than previous ACPI support pull requests because several significant updates have coincided in it. First, there is a routine ACPICA code update, to upstream version 20251212, but this time it covers new ACPI 6.6 material that has not been covered yet. Among other things, it includes definitions of a few new ACPI tables and updates of some others, like the GICv5 MADT structures and ARM IORT IWB node definitions that are used for adding GICv5 ACPI probing on ARM (that technically is IRQ subsystem material, but it depends on the ACPICA changes, so it is included here). The latter alone adds a few hundred lines of new code. Second, there is an update of ACPI _OSC handling including a fix that prevents failures from occurring in some corner cases due to careless handling of _OSC error bits. On top of that, the "system resource" ACPI device objects with the PNP0C01 and PNP0C02 are now going to be handled by the ACPI core device enumeration code instead of handing them over to the legacy PNP system driver which causes device enumeration issues to occur. Some of those issues have been worked around in device drivers and elsewhere and those workarounds should not be necessary any more, so they are going away. Moreover, the time has come to convert all "core ACPI" device drivers that were still using struct acpi_driver objects for device binding into proper platform drivers that use struct platform_driver for this purpose. These updates are accompanied by some requisite core ACPI device enumeration code changes. Next, there are ACPI APEI updates, including changes to avoid excess overhead in the NMI handler and in SEA on the ARM side, changes to unify ACPI-based HW error tracing and logging, and changes to prevent APEI code from reaching out of its allocated memory. There are also some ACPI power management updates, mostly related to the ACPI cpuidle support in the processor driver, suspend-to-idle handling on systems with ACPI support and to ACPI PM of devices. In addition to the above, bugs are fixed and the code is cleaned up in assorted places all over. Specifics: - Update the ACPICA code in the kernel to upstream version 20251212 which includes the following changes: * Add support for new ACPI table DTPR (Michal Camacho Romero) * Release objects with acpi_ut_delete_object_desc() (Zilin Guan) * Add UUIDs for Microsoft fan extensions and UUIDs associated with TPM 2.0 devices (Armin Wolf) * Fix NULL pointer dereference in acpi_ev_address_space_dispatch() (Alexey Simakov) * Add KEYP ACPI table definition (Dave Jiang) * Add support for the Microsoft display mux _OSI string (Armin Wolf) * Add definitions for the IOVT ACPI table (Xianglai Li) * Abort AML bytecode execution on AML_FATAL_OP (Armin Wolf) * Include all fields in subtable type1 for PPTT (Ben Horgan) * Add GICv5 MADT structures and Arm IORT IWB node definitions (Jose Marinho) * Update Parameter Block structure for RAS2 and add a new flag in Memory Affinity Structure for SRAT (Pawel Chmielewski) * Add _VDM (Voltage Domain) object (Pawel Chmielewski) -

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux Pull io_uring bpf filters from Jens Axboe: "This adds support for both cBPF filters for io_uring, as well as task inherited restrictions and filters. seccomp and io_uring don't play along nicely, as most of the interesting data to filter on resides somewhat out-of-band, in the submission queue ring. As a result, things like containers and systemd that apply seccomp filters, can't filter io_uring operations. That leaves them with just one choice if filtering is critical - filter the actual io_uring_setup(2) system call to simply disallow io_uring. That's rather unfortunate, and has limited us because of it. io_uring already has some filtering support. It requires the ring to be setup in a disabled state, and then a filter set can be applied. This filter set is completely bi-modal - an opcode is either enabled or it's not. Once a filter set is registered, the ring can be enabled. This is very restrictive, and it's not useful at all to systemd or containers which really want both broader and more specific control. This first adds support for cBPF filters for opcodes, which enables tighter control over what exactly a specific opcode may do. As examples, specific support is added for IORING_OP_OPENAT/OPENAT2, allowing filtering on resolve flags. And another example is added for IORING_OP_SOCKET, allowing filtering on domain/type/protocol. These are both common use cases. cBPF was chosen rather than eBPF, because the latter is often restricted in containers as well. These filters are run post the init phase of the request, which allows filters to even dip into data that is being passed in struct in user memory, as the init side of requests make that data stable by bringing it into the kernel. This allows filtering without needing to copy this data twice, or have filters etc know about the exact layout of the user data. The filters get the already copied and sanitized data passed. On top of that support is added for per-task filters, meaning that any ring created with a task that has a per-task filter will get those filters applied when it's created. These filters are inherited across fork as well. Once a filter has been registered, any further added filters may only further restrict what operations are permitted. Filters cannot change the return value of an operation, they can only permit or deny it based on the contents" * tag 'io_uring-bpf-restrictions.4-20260206' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux: io_uring: allow registration of per-task restrictions io_uring: add task fork hook io_uring/bpf_filter: add ref counts to struct io_bpf_filter io_uring/bpf_filter: cache lookup table in ctx->bpf_filters io_uring/bpf_filter: allow filtering on contents of struct open_how io_uring/net: allow filtering on IORING_OP_SOCKET data io_uring: add support for BPF filtering for opcode restrictions

2026-02-08tracing: Better separate SNAPSHOT and MAX_TRACE optionsSteven Rostedt
The latency tracers (scheduler, irqsoff, etc) were created when tracing was first added. These tracers required a "snapshot" buffer that was the same size as the ring buffer being written to. When a new max latency was hit, the main ring buffer would swap with the snapshot buffer so that the trace leading up to the latency would be saved in the snapshot buffer (The snapshot buffer is never written to directly and the data within it can be viewed without fear of being overwritten). Later, a new feature was added to allow snapshots to be taken by user space or even event triggers. This created a "snapshot" file that allowed users to trigger a snapshot from user space to save the current trace. The config for this new feature (CONFIG_TRACER_SNAPSHOT) would select the latency tracer config (CONFIG_TRACER_MAX_LATENCY) as it would need all the functionality from it as it already existed. But this was incorrect. As the snapshot feature is really what the latency tracers need and not the other way around. Have CONFIG_TRACER_MAX_TRACE select CONFIG_TRACER_SNAPSHOT where the tracers that needs the max latency buffer selects the TRACE_MAX_TRACE which will then select TRACER_SNAPSHOT. Also, go through trace.c and trace.h and make the code that only needs the TRACER_MAX_TRACE protected by that and the code that always requires the snapshot to be protected by TRACER_SNAPSHOT.

2026-02-08tracing: Rename trace_array field max_buffer to snapshot_bufferSteven Rostedt
When tracing was first added, there were latency tracers that would take a snapshot of the current trace when a new max latency was hit. This snapshot buffer was called "max_buffer". Since then, a snapshot feature was added that allowed user space or event triggers to trigger a snapshot of the current buffer using the same max_buffer of the trace_array. As this snapshot buffer now has a more generic use case, calling it "max_buffer" is confusing. Rename it to snapshot_buffer.

2026-02-08tracing: Use system_state in trace_printk_init_buffers()Steven Rostedt
The function trace_printk_init_buffers() is used to expand tha trace_printk buffers when trace_printk() is used within the kernel or in modules. On kernel boot up, it holds off from starting the sched switch cmdline recorder, but will start it immediately when it is added by a module. Currently it uses a trick to see if the global_trace buffer has been allocated or not to know if it was called by module load or not. But this is more of a hack, and can not be used when this code is moved out of trace.c. Instead simply look at the system_state and if it is running then it is know that it could only be called by module load.

It only gets created when both CONFIG_TRACE_MAX_TRACE and CONFIG_FS_NOTIFY is defined, but the file itself should not be dependent on CONFIG_FS_NOTIFY. Always create that file when TRACE_MAX_TRACE is defined regardless if FS_NOTIFY is or is not.

2026-02-08tracing: Have all triggers expect a file parameterSteven Rostedt
When the triggers were first created, they may not have had a file parameter passed to them and things needed to be done generically. But today, all triggers have a file parameter passed to them. Remove the generic code and add a "if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!file))" to each trigger.

2026-02-08watchdog/hardlockup: simplify perf event probe and remove per-cpu dependencyQiliang Yuan
Simplify the hardlockup detector's probe path and remove its implicit dependency on pinned per-cpu execution. Refactor hardlockup_detector_event_create() to be stateless. Return the created perf_event pointer to the caller instead of directly modifying the per-cpu 'watchdog_ev' variable. This allows the probe path to safely manage a temporary event without the risk of leaving stale pointers should task migration occur.

2026-02-08watchdog/softlockup: fix sample ring index wrap in need_counting_irqs()Shengming Hu
cpustat_tail indexes cpustat_util[], which is a NUM_SAMPLE_PERIODS-sized ring buffer. need_counting_irqs() currently wraps the index using NUM_HARDIRQ_REPORT, which only happens to match NUM_SAMPLE_PERIODS. Use NUM_SAMPLE_PERIODS for the wrap to keep the ring math correct even if the NUM_HARDIRQ_REPORT or NUM_SAMPLE_PERIODS changes.

2026-02-08tests/liveupdate: add in-kernel liveupdate testPasha Tatashin
Introduce an in-kernel test module to validate the core logic of the Live Update Orchestrator's File-Lifecycle-Bound feature. This provides a low-level, controlled environment to test FLB registration and callback invocation without requiring userspace interaction or actual kexec reboots. The test is enabled by the CONFIG_LIVEUPDATE_TEST Kconfig option.

2026-02-08liveupdate: luo_flb: introduce File-Lifecycle-Bound global statePasha Tatashin
Introduce a mechanism for managing global kernel state whose lifecycle is tied to the preservation of one or more files. This is necessary for subsystems where multiple preserved file descriptors depend on a single, shared underlying resource. An example is HugeTLB, where multiple file descriptors such as memfd and guest_memfd may rely on the state of a single HugeTLB subsystem. Preserving this state for each individual file would be redundant and incorrect. The state should be preserved only once when the first file is preserved, and restored/finished only once the last file is handled. This patch introduces File-Lifecycle-Bound (FLB) objects to solve this problem. An FLB is a global, reference-counted object with a defined set of operations: - A file handler (struct liveupdate_file_handler) declares a dependency on one or more FLBs via a new registration function, liveupdate_register_flb(). - When the first file depending on an FLB is preserved, the FLB's .preserve() callback is invoked to save the shared global state. The reference count is then incremented for each subsequent file. - Conversely, when the last file is unpreserved (before reboot) or finished (after reboot), the FLB's .unpreserve() or .finish() callback is invoked to clean up the global resource. The implementation includes: - A new set of ABI definitions (luo_flb_ser, luo_flb_head_ser) and a corresponding FDT node (luo-flb) to serialize the state of all active FLBs and pass them via Kexec Handover. - Core logic in luo_flb.c to manage FLB registration, reference counting, and the invocation of lifecycle callbacks. - An API (liveupdate_flb_get/_incoming/_outgoing) for other kernel subsystems to safely access the live object managed by an FLB, both before and after the live update. This framework provides the necessary infrastructure for more complex subsystems like IOMMU, VFIO, and KVM to integrate with the Live Update Orchestrator.

2026-02-08delayacct: fix uapi timespec64 definitionArnd Bergmann
The custom definition of 'struct timespec64' is incompatible with both the kernel's internal definition and the glibc type, at least on big-endian targets that have the tv_nsec field in a different place, and the definition clashes with any userspace that also defines a timespec64 structure. Running the header check with -Wpadding enabled produces this output that warns about the incorrect padding: usr/include/linux/taskstats.h:25:1: error: padding struct size to alignment boundary with 4 bytes [-Werror=padded] Remove the hack and instead use the regular __kernel_timespec type that is meant to be used in uapi definitions.
