Resulting in a 300% (4x) improvement on heavy TX workloads, sending
twice the number of packets per second, for half the cpu cycles.
- Allow constantly busy flows to migrate to a more suitable CPU/NIC
queue.
Normally we perform queue re-selection when flow comes out of idle,
but under extreme circumstances the flows may be constantly busy.
Add sysctl to allow periodic rehashing even if it'd risk packet
reordering.
- Optimize the NAPI skb cache, make it larger, use it in more paths.
- Attempt returning Tx skbs to the originating CPU (like we already
did for Rx skbs).
- Various data structure layout and prefetch optimizations from Eric.
- Remove ktime_get() from the recvmsg() fast path, ktime_get() is
sadly quite expensive on recent AMD machines.
- Extend threaded NAPI polling to allow the kthread busy poll for
packets.
- Make MPTCP use Rx backlog processing. This lowers the lock
pressure, improving the Rx performance.
- Support memcg accounting of MPTCP socket memory.
- Allow admin to opt sockets out of global protocol memory accounting
(using a sysctl or BPF-based policy). The global limits are a poor
fit for modern container workloads, where limits are imposed using
cgroups.
- Improve heuristics for when to kick off AF_UNIX garbage collection.
- Allow users to control TCP SACK compression, and default to 33% of
RTT.
- Add tcp_rcvbuf_low_rtt sysctl to let datacenter users avoid
unnecessarily aggressive rcvbuf growth and overshot when the
connection RTT is low.

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Add support for 'syn'.
Syn is a parsing library for parsing a stream of Rust tokens into a
syntax tree of Rust source code.
Currently this library is geared toward use in Rust procedural
macros, but contains some APIs that may be useful more generally.
'syn' allows us to greatly simplify writing complex macros such as
'pin-init' (Benno has already prepared the 'syn'-based version). We
will use it in the 'macros' crate too.
'syn' is the most downloaded Rust crate (according to crates.io),
and it is also used by the Rust compiler itself. While the amount
of code is substantial, there should not be many updates needed for
these crates, and even if there are, they should not be too big,
e.g. +7k -3k lines across the 3 crates in the last year.
'syn' requires two smaller dependencies: 'quote' and 'proc-macro2'.
I only modified their code to remove a third dependency
('unicode-ident') and to add the SPDX identifiers. The code can be
easily verified to exactly match upstream with the provided
scripts.
They are all licensed under "Apache-2.0 OR MIT", like the other
vendored 'alloc' crate we had for a while.
Please see the merge commit with the cover letter for more context.
- Allow 'unreachable_pub' and 'clippy::disallowed_names' for
doctests.
Examples (i.e. doctests) may want to do things like show public
items and use names such as 'foo'.
Nevertheless, we still try to keep examples as close to real code
as possible (this is part of why running Clippy on doctests is
important for us, e.g. for safety comments, which userspace Rust
does not support yet but we are stricter).
'kernel' crate:
- Replace our custom 'CStr' type with 'core::ffi::CStr'.
Using the standard library type reduces our custom code footprint,
and we retain needed custom functionality through an extension
trait and a new 'fmt!' macro which replaces the previous 'core'
import.
This started in 6.17 and continued in 6.18, and we finally land the
replacement now. This required quite some stamina from Tamir, who
split the changes in steps to prepare for the flag day change here.
- Replace 'kernel::c_str!' with C string literals.
C string literals were added in Rust 1.77, which produce '&CStr's
(the 'core' one), so now we can write:
c"hi"
instead of:
c_str!("hi")
- Add 'num' module for numerical features.
It includes the 'Integer' trait, implemented for all primitive
integer types.
It also includes the 'Bounded' integer wrapping type: an integer
value that requires only the 'N' least significant bits of the
wrapped type to be encoded:
// An unsigned 8-bit integer, of which only the 4 LSBs are used.
let v = Bounded::<u8, 4>::new::<15>();
assert_eq!(v.get(), 15);
'Bounded' is useful to e.g. enforce guarantees when working with
bitfields that have an arbitrary number of bits.
Values can also be constructed from simple non-constant expressions
or, for more complex ones, validated at runtime.
'Bounded' also comes with comparison and arithmetic operations
(with both their backing type and other 'Bounded's with a
compatible backing type), casts to change the backing type,
extending/shrinking and infallible/fallible conversions from/to
primitives as applicable.
It enables to use just an immutable tree reference where
appropriate. The existing fully-featured mutable cursor is renamed
to 'CursorMut'.
kallsyms:
- Fix wrong "big" kernel symbol type read from procfs.
'pin-init' crate:
- A couple minor fixes (Benno asked me to pick these patches up for
him this cycle).
Documentation:
- Quick Start guide: add Debian 13 (Trixie).
Debian Stable is now able to build Linux, since Debian 13 (released
2025-08-09) packages Rust 1.85.0, which is recent enough.
We are planning to propose that the minimum supported Rust version
in Linux follows Debian Stable releases, with Debian 13 being the
first one we upgrade to, i.e. Rust 1.85.
MAINTAINERS:
- Add entry for the new 'num' module.
- Remove Alex as Rust maintainer: he hasn't had the time to
contribute for a few years now, so it is a no-op change in
practice.
And a few other cleanups and improvements"

Pull sched_ext updates from Tejun Heo:
- Improve recovery from misbehaving BPF schedulers.
When a scheduler puts many tasks with varying affinity restrictions
on a shared DSQ, CPUs scanning through tasks they cannot run can
overwhelm the system, causing lockups.
Bypass mode now uses per-CPU DSQs with a load balancer to avoid this,
and hooks into the hardlockup detector to attempt recovery.
Add scx_cpu0 example scheduler to demonstrate this scenario.
- Add lockless peek operation for DSQs to reduce lock contention for
schedulers that need to query queue state during load balancing.
- Allow scx_bpf_reenqueue_local() to be called from anywhere in
preparation for deprecating cpu_acquire/release() callbacks in favor
of generic BPF hooks.
- Prepare for hierarchical scheduler support: add
scx_bpf_task_set_slice() and scx_bpf_task_set_dsq_vtime() kfuncs,
make scx_bpf_dsq_insert*() return bool, and wrap kfunc args in
structs for future aux__prog parameter.
- Implement cgroup_set_idle() callback to notify BPF schedulers when a
cgroup's idle state changes.
- Fix migration tasks being incorrectly downgraded from
stop_sched_class to rt_sched_class across sched_ext enable/disable.
Applied late as the fix is low risk and the bug subtle but needs
stable backporting.
- Various fixes and cleanups including cgroup exit ordering,
SCX_KICK_WAIT reliability, and backward compatibility improvements.

Otherwise, the driver would rely on the kthread.
It is going to be used as the-best-effort approach for an
experimental nbcon netconsole driver, see
In an ideal world, all networking drivers would be fixed first and
the atomic flush would be blocked only in NMI context. But it brings
the question how reliable networking drivers are when the system is
in a bad state. They might block flushing more reliable serial
consoles which are more suitable for serious debugging anyway.
- Allow to use the last 4 bytes of the printk ring buffer.
- Prevent queuing IRQ work and block printk kthreads when consoles are
suspended. Otherwise, they create non-necessary churn or even block
the suspend.
- Release console_lock() between each record in the kthread used for
legacy consoles on RT. It might significantly speed up the boot.
- Release nbcon context between each record in the atomic flush. It
prevents stalls of the related printk kthread after it has lost the
ownership in the middle of a record

Pull RCU updates from Frederic Weisbecker:
"SRCU:
- Properly handle SRCU readers within IRQ disabled sections in tiny
SRCU
- Preparation to reimplement RCU Tasks Trace on top of SRCU fast:
- Introduce API to expedite a grace period and test it through
rcutorture
- Split srcu-fast in two flavours: SRCU-fast and SRCU-fast-updown.
Both are still targeted toward faster readers (without full
barriers on LOCK and UNLOCK) at the expense of heavier write
side (using full RCU grace period ordering instead of simply
full ordering) as compared to "traditional" non-fast SRCU. But
those srcu-fast flavours are going to be optimized in two
different ways:
- SRCU-fast will become the reimplementation basis for
RCU-TASK-TRACE for consolidation. Since RCU-TASK-TRACE must
be NMI safe, SRCU-fast must be as well.
- SRCU-fast-updown will be needed for uretprobes code in order
to get rid of the read-side memory barriers while still
allowing entering the reader at task level while exiting it
in a timer handler. It is considered semaphore-like in that
it can have different owners between LOCK and UNLOCK.
However it is not NMI-safe.
The actual optimizations are work in progress for the next
cycle. Only the new interfaces are added for now, along with
related torture and scalability test code.
- Create/document/debug/torture new proper initializers for RCU fast:
DEFINE_SRCU_FAST() and init_srcu_struct_fast()
This allows for using right away the proper ordering on the write
side (either full ordering or full RCU grace period ordering)
without waiting for the read side to tell which to use.
This also optimizes the read side altogether with moving flavour
debug checks under debug config and with removing a costly RmW
operation on their first call.
- Make some diagnostic functions tracing safe
Refscale:
- Add performance testing for common context synchronizations
(Preemption, IRQ, Softirq) and per-cpu increments. Those are
relevant comparisons against SRCU-fast read side APIs, especially
as they are planned to synchronize further tracing fast-path code
Miscellanous:
- In order to prepare the layout for nohz_full work deferral to user
exit, the context tracking state must shrink the counter of
transitions to/from RCU not watching. The only possible hazard is
to trigger wrap-around more easily, delaying a bit grace periods
when that happens. This should be a rare event though. Yet add
debugging and torture code to test that assumption
- Fix memory leak on locktorture module
- Annotate accesses in rculist_nulls.h to prevent from KCSAN
warnings. On recent discussions, we also concluded that all those
WRITE_ONCE() and READ_ONCE() on list APIs deserve appropriate
comments. Something to be expected for the next cycle
- Provide a script to apply several configs to several commits with
torture
- Allow torture to reuse a build directory in order to save needless
rebuild time

- The various scripts and tools for documentation were spread out in
several directories; now they are (almost) all coalesced under
tools/docs/. The holdout is the kernel-doc script, which cannot be
easily moved without some further thought.
- As the amount of Python code increases, we are accumulating modules

documentation-related programs. There is other Python code in the

- The Perl kernel-doc.pl script has been removed. It is no longer

- The docs build was controlled by a complex mess of makefilese that

Pull selinux updates from Paul Moore:
- Improve the granularity of SELinux labeling for memfd files
Currently when creating a memfd file, SELinux treats it the same as
any other tmpfs, or hugetlbfs, file. While simple, the drawback is
that it is not possible to differentiate between memfd and tmpfs
files.
This adds a call to the security_inode_init_security_anon() LSM hook
and wires up SELinux to provide a set of memfd specific access
controls, including the ability to control the execution of memfds.
As usual, the commit message has more information.
- Improve the SELinux AVC lookup performance
Adopt MurmurHash3 for the SELinux AVC hash function instead of the
custom hash function currently used. MurmurHash3 is already used for
the SELinux access vector table so the impact to the code is minimal,
and performance tests have shown improvements in both hash
distribution and latency.
See the commit message for the performance measurments.
- Introduce a Kconfig option for the SELinux AVC bucket/slot size
While we have the ability to grow the number of AVC hash buckets
today, the size of the buckets (slot size) is fixed at 512. This pull

Kconfig knob, CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_AVC_HASH_BITS.

Pull LSM updates from Paul Moore:
- Rework the LSM initialization code
What started as a "quick" patch to enable a notification event once
all of the individual LSMs were initialized, snowballed a bit into a
30+ patch patchset when everything was done. Most of the patches, and
diffstat, is due to splitting out the initialization code into
security/lsm_init.c and cleaning up some of the mess that was there.
While not strictly necessary, it does cleanup the code signficantly,
and hopefully makes the upkeep a bit easier in the future.
Aside from the new LSM_STARTED_ALL notification, these changes also
ensure that individual LSM initcalls are only called when the LSM is
enabled at boot time. There should be a minor reduction in boot times
for those who build multiple LSMs into their kernels, but only enable
a subset at boot.
It is worth mentioning that nothing at present makes use of the
LSM_STARTED_ALL notification, but there is work in progress which is
dependent upon LSM_STARTED_ALL.

ipe: Add AT_EXECVE_CHECK support for script enforcement
This patch adds a new ipe_bprm_creds_for_exec() hook that integrates
with the AT_EXECVE_CHECK mechanism. To enable script enforcement,
interpreters need to incorporate the AT_EXECVE_CHECK flag when
calling execveat() on script files before execution.
When a userspace interpreter calls execveat() with the AT_EXECVE_CHECK
flag, this hook triggers IPE policy evaluation on the script file. The
hook only triggers IPE when bprm->is_check is true, ensuring it's
being called from an AT_EXECVE_CHECK context. It then builds an
evaluation context for an IPE_OP_EXEC operation and invokes IPE policy.
The kernel returns the policy decision to the interpreter, which can
then decide whether to proceed with script execution.
This extends IPE enforcement to indirectly executed scripts, permitting
trusted scripts to execute while denying untrusted ones.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"There are quite a few interesting things here, including new hardware
support, new features, some bug fixes and documentation updates. In
addition, there are a usual bunch of minor fixes and cleanups all
over.
In the new hardware support category, there are intel_pstate and
intel_rapl driver updates to support new processors, Panther Lake,
Wildcat Lake, Noval Lake, and Diamond Rapids in the OOB mode, OPP and
bandwidth allocation support in the tegra186 cpufreq driver, and
JH7110S SOC support in dt-platdev cpufreq.
The new features are the PM QoS CPU latency limit for suspend-to-idle,
the netlink support for the energy model management, support for
terminating system suspend via a wakeup event during the sync of file
systems, configurable number of hibernation compression threads, the
runtime PM auto-cleanup macros, and the "poweroff" PM event that is
expected to be used during system shutdown.
Bugs are mostly fixed in cpuidle governors, but there are also fixes
elsewhere, like in the amd-pstate cpufreq driver.
Documentation updates include, but are not limited to, a new doc on
debugging shutdown hangs, cross-referencing fixes and cleanups in the
intel_pstate documentation, and updates of comments in the core
hibernation code.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
"These are the arm64 updates for 6.19.
The biggest part is the Arm MPAM driver under drivers/resctrl/.
There's a patch touching mm/ to handle spurious faults for huge pmd
(similar to the pte version). The corresponding arm64 part allows us
to avoid the TLB maintenance if a (huge) page is reused after a write
fault. There's EFI refactoring to allow runtime services with
preemption enabled and the rest is the usual perf/PMU updates and
several cleanups/typos.
Summary:
Core features:
- Basic Arm MPAM (Memory system resource Partitioning And Monitoring)
driver under drivers/resctrl/ which makes use of the fs/rectrl/ API
Perf and PMU:
- Avoid cycle counter on multi-threaded CPUs
- Extend CSPMU device probing and add additional filtering support
for NVIDIA implementations
- Add support for the PMUs on the NoC S3 interconnect
- Add additional compatible strings for new Cortex and C1 CPUs
- Add support for data source filtering to the SPE driver
- Add support for i.MX8QM and "DB" PMU in the imx PMU driver
Memory managemennt:
- Avoid broadcast TLBI if page reused in write fault
- Elide TLB invalidation if the old PTE was not valid
- Drop redundant cpu_set_*_tcr_t0sz() macros
- Propagate pgtable_alloc() errors outside of __create_pgd_mapping()
- Propagate return value from __change_memory_common()
ACPI and EFI:
- Call EFI runtime services without disabling preemption
- Remove unused ACPI function
Miscellaneous:
- ptrace support to disable streaming on SME-only systems
- Improve sysreg generation to include a 'Prefix' descriptor
- Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__
- Align register dumps in the kselftest zt-test
- Remove some no longer used macros/functions

"The biggest thing of note here is Linear Address Space Separation
(LASS). It represents the first time I can think of that the
upper=>kernel/lower=>user address space convention is actually
recognized by the hardware on x86. It ensures that userspace can not
even get the hardware to _start_ page walks for the kernel address
space. This, of course, is a really nice generic side channel defense.
This is really only a down payment on LASS support. There are still
some details to work out in its interaction with EFI calls and
vsyscall emulation. For now, LASS is disabled if either of those
features is compiled in (which is almost always the case).
There's also one straggler commit in here which converts an
under-utilized AMD CPU feature leaf into a generic Linux-defined leaf
so more feature can be packed in there.

Pull x86 microcode loading updates from Borislav Petkov:
- Add microcode staging support on Intel: it moves the sole microcode
blobs loading to a non-critical path so that microcode loading
latencies are kept at minimum. The actual "directing" the hardware to
load microcode is the only step which is done on the critical path.
This scheme is also opportunistic as in: on a failure, the machinery
falls back to normal loading
- Add the capability to the AMD side of the loader to select one of two
per-family/model/stepping patches: one is pre-Entrysign and the other
is post-Entrysign; with the goal to take care of machines which
haven't updated their BIOS yet - something they should absolutely do
as this is the only proper Entrysign fix
- Other small cleanups and fixlets

net: page_pool: sanitise allocation order
We're going to give more control over rx buffer sizes to user space, and
since we can't always rely on driver validation, let's sanitise it in
page_pool_init() as well. Note that we only need to reject over
MAX_PAGE_ORDER allocations for normal page pools, as current memory
providers don't need to use the buddy allocator and must check the order
on init.i

net: page pool: xa init with destroy on pp init
The free_ptr_ring label path initialises ->dma_mapped xarray but doesn't
destroy it in case of an error. That's not a real problem since init
itself doesn't do anything requiring destruction, but still match it
with xa_destroy() to silence warnings.

Pull x86 RAS updates from Borislav Petkov:
- The second part of the AMD MCA interrupts rework after the
last-minute show-stopper from the last merge window was sorted out.
After this, the AMD MCA deferred errors, thresholding and corrected
errors interrupt handlers use common MCA code and are tightly
integrated into the core MCA code, thereby getting rid of
considerable duplication. All culminating into allowing CMCI error
thresholding storms to be detected at AMD too, using the common
infrastructure
- Add support for two new MCA bank bits on AMD Zen6 which denote
whether the error address logged is a system physical address, which
obviates the need for it to be translated before further error
recovery can be done
