2026-01-13libbpf: Optimize type lookup with binary search for sorted BTFDonglin Peng
This patch introduces binary search optimization for BTF type lookups when the BTF instance contains sorted types. The optimization significantly improves performance when searching for types in large BTF instances with sorted types. For unsorted BTF, the implementation falls back to the original linear search.

2026-01-13x86/entry/vdso: Refactor the vdso buildH. Peter Anvin
- Separate out the vdso sources into common, vdso32, and vdso64 directories. - Build the 32- and 64-bit vdsos in their respective subdirectories; this greatly simplifies the build flags handling. - Unify the mangling of Makefile flags between the 32- and 64-bit vdso code as much as possible; all common rules are put in arch/x86/entry/vdso/common/Makefile.include. The remaining is very simple for 32 bits; the 64-bit one is only slightly more complicated because it contains the x32 generation rule. - Define __DISABLE_EXPORTS when building the vdso. This need seems to have been masked by different ordering compile flags before. - Change CONFIG_X86_64 to BUILD_VDSO32_64 in vdso32/system_call.S, to make it compatible with including fake_32bit_build.h. - The -fcf-protection= option was "leaking" from the kernel build, for reasons that was not clear to me. Furthermore, several distributions ship with it set to a default value other than "-fcf-protection=none". Make it match the configuration options for *user space*. Note that this patch may seem large, but the vast majority of it is simply code movement. Signed-off-by: H.

2026-01-13drm/nouveau/disp/nv50-: Set lock_core in curs507a_prepareLyude Paul
For a while, I've been seeing a strange issue where some (usually not all) of the display DMA channels will suddenly hang, particularly when there is a visible cursor on the screen that is being frequently updated, and especially when said cursor happens to go between two screens. While this brings back lovely memories of fixing Intel Skylake bugs, I would quite like to fix it :). It turns out the problem that's happening here is that we're managing to reach nv50_head_flush_set() in our atomic commit path without actually holding nv50_disp->mutex. This means that cursor updates happening in parallel (along with any other atomic updates that need to use the core channel) will race with eachother, which eventually causes us to corrupt the pushbuffer - leading to a plethora of various GSP errors, usually: nouveau 0000:c1:00.0: gsp: Xid:56 CMDre 00000000 00000218 00102680 00000004 00800003 nouveau 0000:c1:00.0: gsp: Xid:56 CMDre 00000000 0000021c 00040509 00000004 00000001 nouveau 0000:c1:00.0: gsp: Xid:56 CMDre 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000001 00000001 The reason this is happening is because generally we check whether we need to set nv50_atom->lock_core at the end of nv50_head_atomic_check(). However, curs507a_prepare is called from the fb_prepare callback, which happens after the atomic check phase. As a result, this can lead to commits that both touch the core channel but also don't grab nv50_disp->mutex. So, fix this by making sure that we set nv50_atom->lock_core in cus507a_prepare().

2026-01-13dt-bindings: riscv: Add B ISA extension descriptionGuodong Xu
Add description of the single-letter B extension for Bit Manipulation. B is mandatory for RVA23U64. The B extension is ratified in the 20240411 version of the unprivileged ISA specification. According to the ratified spec, the B standard extension comprises instructions provided by the Zba, Zbb, and Zbs extensions. Add two-way dependency check to enforce that B implies Zba/Zbb/Zbs; and when Zba/Zbb/Zbs (all of them) are specified, then B must be added too. The reason why B/Zba/Zbb/Zbs must coexist at the same time is that unlike other single-letter extensions, B was ratified (Apr/2024) much later than its component extensions Zba/Zbb/Zbs (Jun/2021). When "b" is specified, zba/zbb/zbs must be present to ensure backward compatibility with existing software and kernels that only look for the explicit component strings. When all three components zba/zbb/zbs are specified, "b" should also be present. Making "b" mandatory when all three components are present. Existing devicetrees with zba/zbb/zbs but without "b" will generate warnings that can be fixed in follow-up patches.

2026-01-13ACPI: PM: s2idle: Add module parameter for LPS0 constraints checkingRafael J. Wysocki
Commit 32ece31db4df ("ACPI: PM: s2idle: Only retrieve constraints when needed") attempted to avoid useless evaluation of LPS0 _DSM Function 1 in lps0_device_attach() because pm_debug_messages_on might never be set (and that is the case on production systems most of the time), but it turns out that LPS0 _DSM Function 1 is generally problematic on some platforms and causes suspend issues to occur when pm_debug_messages_on is set now. In Linux, LPS0 _DSM Function 1 is only useful for diagnostics and only in the cases when the system does not reach the deepest platform idle state during suspend-to-idle for some reason. If such diagnostics is not necessary, evaluating it is a loss of time, so using it along with the other pm_debug_messages_on diagnostics is questionable because the latter is expected to be suitable for collecting debug information even during production use of system suspend. For this reason, add a module parameter called check_lps0_constraints to control whether or not the list of LPS0 constraints will be checked in acpi_s2idle_prepare_late_lps0() and so whether or not to evaluate LPS0 _DSM Function 1 (once) in acpi_s2idle_begin_lps0().

2026-01-13nvmet: do not copy beyond sybsysnqn string lengthShin'ichiro Kawasaki
Commit edd17206e363 ("nvmet: remove redundant subsysnqn field from ctrl") replaced ctrl->subsysnqn with ctrl->subsys->subsysnqn. This change works as expected because both point to strings with the same data. However, their memory allocation lengths differ. ctrl->subsysnqn had the fixed size defined as NVMF_NQN_FILED_LEN, while ctrl->subsys->subsysnqn has variable length determined by kstrndup(). Due to this difference, KASAN slab-out-of-bounds occurs at memcpy() in nvmet_passthru_override_id_ctrl() after the commit. The failure can be recreated by running the blktests test case nvme/033. To prevent such failures, replace memcpy() with strscpy(), which copies only the string length and avoids overruns.

2026-01-13selinux: add support for BPF token access controlEric Suen
BPF token support was introduced to allow a privileged process to delegate limited BPF functionality—such as map creation and program loading—to an unprivileged process: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-security-module/20231130185229.2688956-1-andrii@kernel.org/ This patch adds SELinux support for controlling BPF token access. With this change, SELinux policies can now enforce constraints on BPF token usage based on both the delegating (privileged) process and the recipient (unprivileged) process. Supported operations currently include: - map_create - prog_load High-level workflow: 1. An unprivileged process creates a VFS context via `fsopen()` and obtains a file descriptor. 2. This descriptor is passed to a privileged process, which configures BPF token delegation options and mounts a BPF filesystem. 3. SELinux records the `creator_sid` of the privileged process during mount setup. 4. The unprivileged process then uses this BPF fs mount to create a token and attach it to subsequent BPF syscalls. 5. During verification of `map_create` and `prog_load`, SELinux uses `creator_sid` and the current SID to check policy permissions via: avc_has_perm(creator_sid, current_sid, SECCLASS_BPF, BPF__MAP_CREATE, NULL); The implementation introduces two new permissions: - map_create_as - prog_load_as At token creation time, SELinux verifies that the current process has the appropriate `*_as` permission (depending on the `allowed_cmds` value in the bpf_token) to act on behalf of the `creator_sid`. Example SELinux policy: allow test_bpf_t self:bpf { map_create map_read map_write prog_load prog_run map_create_as prog_load_as }; Additionally, a new policy capability bpf_token_perms is added to ensure backward compatibility. If disabled, previous behavior ((checks based on current process SID)) is preserved.

2026-01-13perf/core: Speed up kexec shutdown by avoiding unnecessary cross CPU callsJan H. Schönherr
There are typically a lot of PMUs registered, but in many cases only few of them have an event registered (like the "cpu" PMU in the presence of the watchdog). As the mutex is already held, it's safe to just check for existing events before doing the cross CPU call. This change saves tens of milliseconds from kexec time (perceived as steal time during a hypervisor host update), with <2ms remaining for this step in the shutdown. There might be additional potential for parallelization or we could just disable performance monitoring during the actual shutdown and be less graceful about it. Signed-off-by: Jan H.

2026-01-13genirq/cpuhotplug: Notify about affinity changes breaking the affinity maskImran Khan
During CPU offlining the interrupts affined to that CPU are moved to other online CPUs, which might break the original affinity mask if the outgoing CPU was the last online CPU in that mask. This change is not propagated to irq_desc::affinity_notify(), which leaves users of the affinity notifier mechanism with stale information. Avoid this by scheduling affinity change notification work for interrupts that were affined to the CPU being offlined, if the new target CPU is not part of the original affinity mask. Since irq_set_affinity_locked() uses the same logic to schedule affinity change notification work, split out this logic into a dedicated function and use that at both places.

2026-01-13rename do_filp_open() to do_file_open()Al Viro
"filp" thing never made sense; seeing that there are exactly 4 callers in the entire tree (and it's neither exported nor even declared in linux/*/*.h), there's no point keeping that ugliness. FWIW, the 'filp' thing did originate in OSD&I; for some reason Tanenbaum decided to call the object representing an opened file 'struct filp', the last letter standing for 'position'. In all Unices, Linux included, the corresponding object had always been 'struct file'... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Makes life simpler for callers; do_filp_open() is the only exception and its callers would also benefit from such calling conventions change. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2026-01-13allow incomplete imports of filenamesAl Viro
There are two filename-related problems in io_uring and its interplay with audit. Filenames are imported when request is submitted and used when it is processed. Unfortunately, the latter may very well happen in a different thread. In that case the reference to filename is put into the wrong audit_context - that of submitting thread, not the processing one. Audit logics is called by the latter, and it really wants to be able to find the names in audit_context current (== processing) thread. Another related problem is the headache with refcounts - normally all references to given struct filename are visible only to one thread (the one that uses that struct filename). io_uring violates that - an extra reference is stashed in audit_context of submitter. It gets dropped when submitter returns to userland, which can happen simultaneously with processing thread deciding to drop the reference it got. We paper over that by making refcount atomic, but that means pointless headache for everyone. Solution: the notion of partially imported filenames. Namely, already copied from userland, but *not* exposed to audit yet. io_uring can create that in submitter thread, and complete the import (obtaining the usual reference to struct filename) in processing thread. Object: struct delayed_filename. Primitives for working with it: delayed_getname(&delayed_filename, user_string) - copies the name from userland, returning 0 and stashing the address of (still incomplete) struct filename in delayed_filename on success and returning -E... on error. delayed_getname_uflags(&delayed_filename, user_string, atflags) - similar, in the same relation to delayed_getname() as getname_uflags() is to getname() complete_getname(&delayed_filename) - completes the import of filename stashed in delayed_filename and returns struct filename to caller, emptying delayed_filename. CLASS(filename_complete_delayed, name)(&delayed_filename) - variant of CLASS(filename) with complete_getname() for constructor. dismiss_delayed_filename(&delayed_filename) - destructor; drops whatever might be stashed in delayed_filename, emptying it. putname_to_delayed(&delayed_filename, name) - if name is shared, stashes its copy into delayed_filename and drops the reference to name, otherwise stashes the name itself in there.

2026-01-13struct filename: saner handling of long namesAl Viro
Always allocate struct filename from names_cachep, long name or short; short names would be embedded into struct filename. Longer ones do not cannibalize the original struct filename - put them into kmalloc'ed buffers (PATH_MAX-sized for import from userland, strlen() + 1 - for ones originating kernel-side, where we know the length beforehand). Cutoff length for short names is chosen so that struct filename would be 192 bytes long - that's both a multiple of 64 and large enough to cover the majority of real-world uses. Simplifies logics in getname()/putname() and friends. [fixed an embarrassing braino in EMBEDDED_NAME_MAX, first reported by Dan Carpenter] Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2026-01-13struct filename: use names_cachep only for getname() and friendsAl Viro
Instances of struct filename come from names_cachep (via __getname()). That is done by getname_flags() and getname_kernel() and these two are the main callers of __getname(). However, there are other callers that simply want to allocate PATH_MAX bytes for uses that have nothing to do with struct filename. We want saner allocation rules for long pathnames, so that struct filename would *always* come from names_cachep, with the out-of-line pathname getting kmalloc'ed. For that we need to be able to change the size of objects allocated by getname_flags()/getname_kernel(). That requires the rest of __getname() users to stop using names_cachep; we could explicitly switch all of those to kmalloc(), but that would cause quite a bit of noise. So the plan is to switch getname_...() to new helpers and turn __getname() into a wrapper for kmalloc(). Remaining __getname() users could be converted to explicit kmalloc() at leisure, hopefully along with figuring out what size do they really want - PATH_MAX is an overkill for some of them, used out of laziness ("we have a convenient helper that does 4K allocations and that's large enough, let's use it"). As a side benefit, names_cachep is no longer used outside of fs/namei.c, so we can move it there and be done with that. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
