2025-11-13media: imx-mipi-csis: Add num_data_lanes to mipi_csis_deviceIsaac Scott
Add the num_data_lanes field to the mipi_csis_device struct, and set it equal to csis->bus.num_data_lanes. This is in preparation to support cases when the data lanes actively used differs from the maximum supported data lanes. No functional changes intended by this commit.

2025-11-13media: v4l: Add helper to get number of active lanes via a padIsaac Scott
Sometimes, users will not use all of the MIPI CSI 2 lanes available when connecting to the MIPI CSI receiver of their device. Add a helper function that checks the mbus_config for the device driver to allow users to define the number of active data lanes through the get_mbus_config op. If the driver does not implement this op, fall back to using the maximum number of lanes available.

2025-11-13media: imx335: Support 2x2 binningJai Luthra
Introduce 2x2 binning mode (1312x972@60fps). Since there are multiple modes now, use v4l2_find_nearest_size() to select the appropriate mode in .set_fmt(). For 2x2 binning the minimum shutter value supported is 17 instead of 9. This effects the maximum allowed exposure time, and if not enforced then the sensor produces very dark frames when the minimum shutter limit is violated. Lastly, update the crop size reported to the userspace. When trying 2x2 binning with the datasheet suggested pixel array size (i.e. 2592 / 2 => 1296), on some platforms (Raspberry Pi 5) artefacts are introduced on the right edge of the output image. Instead, using a higher width of 1312 works fine on all platforms.

2025-11-13pwm: Add Rust driver for T-HEAD TH1520 SoCMichal Wilczynski
Introduce a PWM driver for the T-HEAD TH1520 SoC, written in Rust and utilizing the safe PWM abstractions from the preceding commit. The driver implements the pwm::PwmOps trait using the modern waveform API (round_waveform_tohw, write_waveform, etc.) to support configuration of period, duty cycle, and polarity for the TH1520's PWM channels. Resource management is handled using idiomatic Rust patterns. The PWM chip object is allocated via pwm::Chip::new and its registration with the PWM core is managed by the pwm::Registration RAII guard. This ensures pwmchip_remove is always called when the driver unbinds, preventing resource leaks. Device managed resources are used for the MMIO region, and the clock lifecycle is correctly managed in the driver's private data Drop implementation. The driver's core logic is written entirely in safe Rust, with no unsafe blocks, except for the Send and Sync implementations for the driver data, which are explained in the comments.

2025-11-13rust: io: move ResourceSize to top-level io moduleAlice Ryhl
Resource sizes are a general concept for dealing with physical addresses, and not specific to the Resource type, which is just one way to access physical addresses. Thus, move the typedef to the io module. Still keep a re-export under resource. This avoids this commit from being a flag-day, but I also think it's a useful re-export in general so that you can import use kernel::io::resource::{Resource, ResourceSize}; instead of having to write use kernel::io::{ resource::Resource, ResourceSize, }; in the specific cases where you need ResourceSize because you are using the Resource type. Therefore I think it makes sense to keep this re-export indefinitely and it is *not* intended as a temporary re-export for migration purposes.

2025-11-13slab: use struct freelist_counters as parameters in relevant functionsVlastimil Babka
In functions such as [__]slab_update_freelist() and __slab_update_freelist_fast/slow() we pass old and new freelist and counters as 4 separate parameters. The underlying __update_freelist_fast() then constructs struct freelist_counters variables for passing the full freelist+counter combinations to cmpxchg double. In most cases we actually start with struct freelist_counters variables, but then pass the individual fields, only to construct new struct freelist_counters variables. While it's all inlined and thus should be efficient, we can simplify this code. Thus replace the 4 parameters for individual fields with two pointers to struct freelist_counters wherever applicable. __update_freelist_fast() can then pass them directly to try_cmpxchg_freelist(). The code is also more obvious as the pattern becomes unified such that we set up "old" and "new" struct freelist_counters variables upfront as we fully need them to be, and simply call [__]slab_update_freelist() on them. Previously some of the "new" values would be hidden among the many parameters and thus make it harder to figure out what the code does.

2025-11-13objtool: Warn on functions with ambiguous -ffunction-sections section namesJosh Poimboeuf
When compiled with -ffunction-sections, a function named startup() will be placed in .text.startup. However, .text.startup is also used by the compiler for functions with __attribute__((constructor)). That creates an ambiguity for the vmlinux linker script, which needs to differentiate those two cases. Similar naming conflicts exist for functions named exit(), split(), unlikely(), hot() and unknown(). One potential solution would be to use '#ifdef CC_USING_FUNCTION_SECTIONS' to create two distinct implementations of the TEXT_MAIN macro. However, -ffunction-sections can be (and is) enabled or disabled on a per-object basis (for example via ccflags-y or AUTOFDO_PROFILE). So the recently unified TEXT_MAIN macro (commit 1ba9f8979426 ("vmlinux.lds: Unify TEXT_MAIN, DATA_MAIN, and related macros")) is necessary. This means there's no way for the linker script to disambiguate things. Instead, use objtool to warn on any function names whose resulting section names might create ambiguity when the kernel is compiled (in whole or in part) with -ffunction-sections.

In some cases it can even be cloned into .text.split.constprop.0 or .text.split.isra.0. However, .text.split.* is already reserved for use by the Clang -fsplit-machine-functions flag, which is used by AutoFDO. That may place part of a function's code in a .text.split.<func> section.

2025-11-13vmlinux.lds: Fix TEXT_MAIN to include .text.start and friendsJosh Poimboeuf
Since: 6568f14cb5ae ("vmlinux.lds: Exclude .text.startup and .text.exit from TEXT_MAIN") the TEXT_MAIN macro uses a series of patterns to prevent the .text.startup[.*] and .text.exit[.*] sections from getting linked into the vmlinux runtime .text. That commit is a tad too aggressive: it also inadvertently filters out valid runtime text sections like .text.start and .text.start.constprop.0, which can be generated for a function named start() when -ffunction-sections is enabled. As a result, those sections become orphans when building with CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION for arm: arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: warning: orphan section `.text.start.constprop.0' from `drivers/usb/host/sl811-hcd.o' being placed in section `.text.start.constprop.0' arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: warning: orphan section `.text.start.constprop.0' from `drivers/media/dvb-frontends/drxk_hard.o' being placed in section `.text.start.constprop.0' arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: warning: orphan section `.text.start' from `drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stv0910.o' being placed in section `.text.start' arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: warning: orphan section `.text.start.constprop.0' from `drivers/media/pci/ddbridge/ddbridge-sx8.o' being placed in section `.text.start.constprop.0' Fix that by explicitly adding the partial "substring" sections (.text.s, .text.st, .text.sta, etc) and their cloned derivatives. While this unfortunately means that TEXT_MAIN continues to grow, these changes are ultimately necessary for proper support of -ffunction-sections.

2025-11-12Merge patch series "replace old wq(s), added WQ_PERCPU to alloc_workqueue"Martin K. Petersen
Marco Crivellari <marco.crivellari@suse.com> says: Hi, === Current situation: problems === Let's consider a nohz_full system with isolated CPUs: wq_unbound_cpumask is set to the housekeeping CPUs, for !WQ_UNBOUND the local CPU is selected. This leads to different scenarios if a work item is scheduled on an isolated CPU where "delay" value is 0 or greater then 0: schedule_delayed_work(, 0); This will be handled by __queue_work() that will queue the work item on the current local (isolated) CPU, while: schedule_delayed_work(, 1); Will move the timer on an housekeeping CPU, and schedule the work there. Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND. This lack of consistency cannot be addressed without refactoring the API. === Recent changes to the WQ API === The following, address the recent changes in the Workqueue API: - commit 128ea9f6ccfb ("workqueue: Add system_percpu_wq and system_dfl_wq") - commit 930c2ea566af ("workqueue: Add new WQ_PERCPU flag") The old workqueues will be removed in a future release cycle. === Introduced Changes by this series === 1) [P 1] Replace uses of system_wq and system_unbound_wq system_unbound_wq is to be used when locality is not required. Because of that, system_unbound_wq has been replaced with system_dfl_wq, to make clear it should be used when locality is not required. 2) [P 2-3-4] WQ_PERCPU added to alloc_workqueue() This change adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag to explicitly request alloc_workqueue() to be per-cpu when WQ_UNBOUND has not been specified.

2025-11-12scsi: pm80xx: Add WQ_PERCPU to alloc_workqueue() usersMarco Crivellari
Currently if a user enqueues a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND. This lack of consistency cannot be addressed without refactoring the API. alloc_workqueue() treats all queues as per-CPU by default, while unbound workqueues must opt-in via WQ_UNBOUND. This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues, allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and reducing noise when CPUs are isolated. This continues the effort to refactor workqueue APIs, which began with the introduction of new workqueues and a new alloc_workqueue flag in: commit 128ea9f6ccfb ("workqueue: Add system_percpu_wq and system_dfl_wq") commit 930c2ea566af ("workqueue: Add new WQ_PERCPU flag") This adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag to explicitly request to alloc_workqueue() to be per-cpu when WQ_UNBOUND has not been specified. With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND), any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND must now use WQ_PERCPU. Once migration is complete, WQ_UNBOUND can be removed and unbound will become the implicit default.
