HID: mcp2221: Add module parameter to enfoce GPIO mode
Add a module parameter to MCP2221 to enfor GPIO mode on the
general purpose pins GP0 thru GP3.
If I plug a device of this type into my machine, it will use the
GP0, GP1, GP2 and GP3 pins for IIO voltage readings by default
if CONFIG_IIO is set.
However there may be cases where IIO is available but we want to
use the GP0 thru GP3 lines for GPIO anyway.
Example use:
insmode hid-mcp2221.ko gpio_mode_enforce=1

Merge patch series "move_mount: expand MOVE_MOUNT_BENEATH"
Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> says:
I'm too tired now to keep refining this but I think it's in good enough
shape for review.
Allow MOVE_MOUNT_BENEATH to target the caller's rootfs, allowing to
switch out the rootfs without pivot_root(2).
The traditional approach to switching the rootfs involves pivot_root(2)
or a chroot_fs_refs()-based mechanism that atomically updates fs->root
for all tasks sharing the same fs_struct. This has consequences for
fork(), unshare(CLONE_FS), and setns().
This series instead decomposes root-switching into individually atomic,
locally-scoped steps:
Since each step only modifies the caller's own state, the
fork/unshare/setns races are eliminated by design.
A key step to making this possible is to remove the locked mount
restriction. Originally MOVE_MOUNT_BENEATH doesn't support mounting
beneath a mount that is locked. The locked mount protects the underlying
mount from being revealed. This is a core mechanism of
unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWNS). The mounts in the new mount
namespace become locked. That effectively makes the new mount table
useless as the caller cannot ever get rid of any of the mounts no matter
how useless they are.
We can lift this restriction though. We simply transfer the locked
property from the top mount to the mount beneath. This works because
what we care about is to protect the underlying mount aka the parent.
The mount mounted between the parent and the top mount takes over the
job of protecting the parent mount from the top mount mount. This leaves
us free to remove the locked property from the top mount which can
consequently be unmounted:
unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWNS)
and we inherit a clone of procfs on /proc then currently we cannot
unmount it as:
umount -l /proc
will fail with EINVAL because the procfs mount is locked.
After this series we can now do:
mount --beneath -t tmpfs tmpfs /proc
umount -l /proc
after which a tmpfs mount has been placed beneath the procfs mount. The
tmpfs mount has become locked and the procfs mount has become unlocked.
This means you can safely modify an inherited mount table after
unprivileged namespace creation.
Afterwards we simply make it possible to move a mount beneath the
rootfs allowing to upgrade the rootfs.
Removing the locked restriction makes this very useful for containers
created with unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWNS) to reshuffle an
inherited mount table safely and MOVE_MOUNT_BENEATH makes it possible to
switch out the rootfs instead of using the costly pivot_root(2).

- beneath_rootfs_locked_containment: in user+mount ns: after full
root-switch workflow, new root is MNT_LOCKED (containment preserved)
- beneath_non_rootfs_locked_transfer: mounts created before
unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWNS) become locked; mount-beneath
transfers MNT_LOCKED, displaced mount can be unmounted
- beneath_non_rootfs_locked_containment: same setup, verify new mount
is MNT_LOCKED (containment preserved)
move_mount: allow MOVE_MOUNT_BENEATH on the rootfs
Allow MOVE_MOUNT_BENEATH to target the caller's rootfs. When the target
of a mount-beneath operation is the caller's root mount, verify that:
(1) The caller is located at the root of the mount, as enforced by
path_mounted() in do_lock_mount().
(2) Propagation from the parent mount would not overmount the target,
to avoid propagating beneath the rootfs of other mount namespaces.
The root-switching is decomposed into individually atomic, locally-scoped
steps: mount-beneath inserts the new root under the old one, chroot(".")
switches the caller's root, and umount2(".", MNT_DETACH) removes the old
root. Since each step only modifies the caller's own state, this avoids
cross-namespace vulnerabilities and inherent fork/unshare/setns races
that a chroot_fs_refs()-based approach would have.
Userspace can use the following workflow to switch roots:
When performing a mount-beneath operation the target mount can often be
locked:
unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWNS);
mount --beneath -t tmpfs tmpfs /proc
will fail because the procfs mount on /proc became locked when the mount
namespace was created from the parent mount namespace. Same logic for:
unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWNS);
mount --beneath -t tmpfs tmpfs /
MNT_LOCKED is raised to prevent an unprivileged mount namespace from
revealing whatever is under a given mount. To replace the rootfs we need
to handle that case though.
We can simply transfer the locked mount property from the top mount to
the mount beneath. The new mount we mounted beneath the top mount takes
over the job of the top mount in protecting the parent mount from being
revealed. This leaves us free to allow the top mount to be unmounted.
This also works during mount propagation and also works for the
non-MOVE_MOUNT_BENEATH case:
For (1) can_move_mount_beneath() rejects overmounted @source_mnt (We
could allow this but whatever it's not really a use-case and it's fugly
to move an overmounted mount stack around. What are you even doing? So
let's keep that restriction.
For (2) we can have @source_mnt overmounted (Someone overmounted us
while we locked the target mount.). Both are fine. @source_mnt will be
mounted on whatever @q was mounted on and @q will be mounted on the top
of the @source_mnt mount stack. Even in such cases we can unlock @q and
lock @source_mnt if @q was locked.
This effectively makes mount propagation useful in cases where a mount
namespace has a locked mount somewhere and we propagate a new mount
beneath it but the mount namespace could never get at it because the old
top mount remains locked. Again, we just let the newly propagated mount
take over the protection and unlock the top mount.
Merge patch series "namespace: allow creating empty mount namespaces"
Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> says:
Currently, creating a new mount namespace always copies the entire mount
tree from the caller's namespace. For containers and sandboxes that
intend to build their mount table from scratch this is wasteful: they
inherit a potentially large mount tree only to immediately tear it down.
This series adds support for creating a mount namespace that contains
only a clone of the root mount, with none of the child mounts. Two new
flags are introduced:
- CLONE_EMPTY_MNTNS (0x400000000) for clone3(), using the 64-bit flag
space.
- UNSHARE_EMPTY_MNTNS (0x00100000) for unshare(), reusing the
CLONE_PARENT_SETTID bit which has no meaning for unshare.
Both flags imply CLONE_NEWNS. The resulting namespace contains a single
nullfs root mount with an immutable empty directory. The intended
workflow is to then mount a real filesystem (e.g., tmpfs) over the root
and build the mount table from there.
* patches from https://patch.msgid.link/20260306-work-empty-mntns-consolidated-v1-0-6eb30529bbb0@kernel.org:
selftests/filesystems: add clone3 tests for empty mount namespaces
selftests/filesystems: add tests for empty mount namespaces
namespace: allow creating empty mount namespaces
selftests/filesystems: add clone3 tests for empty mount namespaces
Add a test suite for the CLONE_EMPTY_MNTNS flag exercising the empty
mount namespace functionality through the clone3() syscall.
The clone3() code path is distinct from the unshare() path already
tested in empty_mntns_test.c. With clone3(), CLONE_EMPTY_MNTNS
(0x400000000ULL) is a 64-bit flag that implies CLONE_NEWNS. The
implication happens in kernel_clone() before copy_process(), unlike
unshare() where it goes through UNSHARE_EMPTY_MNTNS to
CLONE_EMPTY_MNTNS conversion in unshare_nsproxy_namespaces().
The tests cover:
- basic functionality: clone3 child gets empty mount namespace with
exactly one mount, root and cwd point to the same mount
- CLONE_NEWNS implication: CLONE_EMPTY_MNTNS works without explicit
CLONE_NEWNS, also works with redundant CLONE_NEWNS
- flag interactions: combines correctly with CLONE_NEWUSER,
CLONE_NEWPID, CLONE_NEWUTS, CLONE_NEWIPC, CLONE_PIDFD
- mutual exclusion: CLONE_EMPTY_MNTNS | CLONE_FS returns EINVAL
because the implied CLONE_NEWNS conflicts with CLONE_FS
- error paths: EPERM without capabilities, unknown 64-bit flags
rejected
- parent isolation: parent mount namespace is unchanged after clone
- many parent mounts: child still gets exactly one mount
- mount properties: root mount is nullfs, is its own parent, is the
only listmount entry
- overmount workflow: child can mount tmpfs over nullfs root to build
a writable filesystem from scratch
- repeated clone3: each child gets a distinct mount namespace
- setns: parent can join child's empty mount namespace via setns()
- regression: plain CLONE_NEWNS via clone3 still copies the full
mount tree
selftests/filesystems: add tests for empty mount namespaces
Add a test suite for the UNSHARE_EMPTY_MNTNS and CLONE_EMPTY_MNTNS
flags exercising the empty mount namespace functionality through the
kselftest harness.
The tests cover:
- basic functionality: unshare succeeds, exactly one mount exists in
the new namespace, root and cwd point to the same mount
- flag interactions: UNSHARE_EMPTY_MNTNS works standalone without
explicit CLONE_NEWNS, combines correctly with CLONE_NEWUSER and
other namespace flags (CLONE_NEWUTS, CLONE_NEWIPC)
- edge cases: EPERM without capabilities, works from a user namespace,
many source mounts still result in one mount, cwd on a different
mount gets reset to root
- error paths: invalid flags return EINVAL
- regression: plain CLONE_NEWNS still copies the full mount tree,
other namespace unshares are unaffected
- mount properties: the root mount has the expected statmount
properties, is its own parent, and is the only entry returned by
listmount
- repeated unshare: consecutive UNSHARE_EMPTY_MNTNS calls each
produce a new namespace with a distinct mount ID
- overmount workflow: verifies the intended usage pattern of creating
an empty mount namespace with a nullfs root and then mounting tmpfs
over it to build a writable filesystem from scratch
Add support for creating a mount namespace that contains only a copy of
the root mount from the caller's mount namespace, with none of the
child mounts. This is useful for containers and sandboxes that want to
start with a minimal mount table and populate it from scratch rather
than inheriting and then tearing down the full mount tree.
Two new flags are introduced:
- CLONE_EMPTY_MNTNS for clone3(), using the 64-bit flag space.
- UNSHARE_EMPTY_MNTNS for unshare(), reusing the
CLONE_PARENT_SETTID bit which has no meaning for unshare.
Both flags imply CLONE_NEWNS. For the unshare path,
UNSHARE_EMPTY_MNTNS is converted to CLONE_EMPTY_MNTNS in
unshare_nsproxy_namespaces() before it reaches copy_mnt_ns(), so the
mount namespace code only needs to handle a single flag.
In copy_mnt_ns(), when CLONE_EMPTY_MNTNS is set, clone_mnt() is used
instead of copy_tree() to clone only the root mount. The caller's root
and working directory are both reset to the root dentry of the new
mount.
The cleanup variables are changed from vfsmount pointers with
__free(mntput) to struct path with __free(path_put) because the empty
mount namespace path needs to release both mount and dentry references
when replacing the caller's root and pwd. In the normal (non-empty)
path only the mount component is set, and dput(NULL) is a no-op so
path_put remains correct there as well.
Merge patch series "fsmount: add FSMOUNT_NAMESPACE"
Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> says:
Add FSMOUNT_NAMESPACE flag to fsmount() that creates a new mount
namespace with the newly created filesystem attached to a copy of the
real rootfs. This returns a namespace file descriptor instead of an
O_PATH mount fd, similar to how OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE works for
open_tree().
This allows creating a new filesystem and immediately placing it in a
new mount namespace in a single operation, which is useful for container
runtimes and other namespace-based isolation mechanisms.
This accompanies OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE and avoids a needless detour via
OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE to get the same effect. Will be especially useful
when you mount an actual filesystem to be used as the container rootfs.
Add a helper to allocate a statmount buffer and call statmount(). This
helper will be shared by multiple test suites that need to query mount
information via statmount().
Add FSMOUNT_NAMESPACE flag to fsmount() that creates a new mount
namespace with the newly created filesystem attached to a copy of the
real rootfs. This returns a namespace file descriptor instead of an
O_PATH mount fd, similar to how OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE works for open_tree().
This allows creating a new filesystem and immediately placing it in a
new mount namespace in a single operation, which is useful for container
runtimes and other namespace-based isolation mechanisms.
The rootfs mount is created before copying the real rootfs for the new
namespace meaning that the mount namespace id for the mount of the root
of the namespace is bigger than the child mounted on top of it. We've
never explicitly given the guarantee for such ordering and I doubt
anyone relies on it. Accepting that lets us avoid copying the mount
again and also avoids having to massage may_copy_tree() to grant an
exception for fsmount->mnt->mnt_ns being NULL.

kbuild: Use '-fms-anonymous-structs' if it is available
Clang recently added '-fms-anonymous-structs' [1] to specifically enable
the Microsoft tagged anonymous structure / union extension, for which
the kernel added '-fms-extensions' in commit c4781dc3d1cf ("Kbuild:

available, which would have helped avoid the issue addressed by
commit a6773e6932cb ("jfs: Rename _inline to avoid conflict with clang's
'-fms-extensions'"). GCC has talked about adding a similar flag [2] as
well but potentially naming it differently.
Move the selection of the flag to Kconfig to make it easier to use
cc-option (as CC_FLAGS_DIALECT may be used in arch Makefiles, which may
be too early for cc-option in Kbuild) and customize based on compiler
flag names.
Introduce CC_FLAGS_DIALECT to make it easier to update the various
places in the tree that rely on the GNU C standard and Microsoft
extensions flags atomically. All remaining uses of '-std=gnu11' and
'-fms-extensions' are in the tools directory (which has its own build
system) and other standalone Makefiles. This will allow the kernel to
use a narrower option to enable the Microsoft anonymous tagged structure
extension in a simpler manner. Place the CC_FLAGS_DIALECT block after
the configuration include (so that a future change can move the
selection of the flag to Kconfig) but before the
arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile include (so that CC_FLAGS_DIALECT is available
for use in those Makefiles).

clocksource: Don't use non-continuous clocksources as watchdog
Using a non-continuous aka untrusted clocksource as a watchdog for another

That's especially true with the jiffies clocksource which depends on
interrupt delivery based on a periodic timer. Neither the frequency of that

a "shift-out-of-bounds" warning is reported on CWF.

The warning occurs because the second "instructions:p" event, which
involves branch counters sampling, is incorrectly programmed to fixed
counter 0 instead of the general-purpose (GP) counters 0-3 that support
branch counters sampling. Currently only GP counters 0-3 support branch
counters sampling on CWF, any event involving branch counters sampling
should be programed on GP counters 0-3. Since the counter index of fixed
counter 0 is 32, it leads to the "src" value in below code is right
shifted 64 bits and trigger the "shift-out-of-bounds" warning.
The root cause is the loss of the branch counters constraint for the
new event in the branch counters sampling event group. Since it isn't
yet part of the sibling list. This results in the second
"instructions:p" event being programmed on fixed counter 0 incorrectly
instead of the appropriate GP counters 0-3.
To address this, we apply the missing branch counters constraint for
the last event in the group. Additionally, we introduce a new function,
`intel_set_branch_counter_constr()`, to apply the branch counters
constraint and avoid code duplication.

perf: Make sure to use pmu_ctx->pmu for groups
Oliver reported that x86_pmu_del() ended up doing an out-of-bound memory access
when group_sched_in() fails and needs to roll back.
This *should* be handled by the transaction callbacks, but he found that when
the group leader is a software event, the transaction handlers of the wrong PMU
are used. Despite the move_group case in perf_event_open() and group_sched_in()

Turns out, inherit uses event->pmu to clone the events, effectively undoing the
move_group case for all inherited contexts. Fix this by also making inherit use
pmu_ctx->pmu, ensuring all inherited counters end up in the same pmu context.
Similarly, __perf_event_read() should use equally use pmu_ctx->pmu for the
group case.

x86/perf: Make sure to program the counter value for stopped events on migration
Both Mi Dapeng and Ian Rogers noted that not everything that sets HES_STOPPED
is required to EF_UPDATE. Specifically the 'step 1' loop of rescheduling
explicitly does EF_UPDATE to ensure the counter value is read.
However, then 'step 2' simply leaves the new counter uninitialized when
HES_STOPPED, even though, as noted above, the thing that stopped them might not
be aware it needs to EF_RELOAD -- since it didn't EF_UPDATE on stop.
One such location that is affected is throttling, throttle does pmu->stop(, 0);
and unthrottle does pmu->start(, 0); possibly restarting an uninitialized counter.

The faulting instruction is `cmpq $0x0, 0x198(%rdi)` with RDI=0,
corresponding to the `if (unlikely(!hwc->event_base))` check in
x86_perf_event_update() where hwc = &event->hw and event is NULL.
drgn inspection of the vmcore on CPU 106 showed a mismatch between
cpuc->active_mask and cpuc->events[]:
The event that should occupy events[2] was found in event_list[2]
with hw.idx=2 and hw.state=0x0, confirming x86_pmu_start() had run
(which clears hw.state and sets active_mask) but events[2] was
never populated.
Another event (event_list[0]) had hw.state=0x7 (STOPPED|UPTODATE|ARCH),
showing it was stopped when the PMU rescheduled events, confirming the
throttle-then-reschedule sequence occurred.
The root cause is commit 7e772a93eb61 ("perf/x86: Fix NULL event access
and potential PEBS record loss") which moved the cpuc->events[idx]
assignment out of x86_pmu_start() and into step 2 of x86_pmu_enable(),
after the PERF_HES_ARCH check. This broke any path that calls
pmu->start() without going through x86_pmu_enable() -- specifically
the unthrottle path:
perf_adjust_freq_unthr_events()
-> perf_event_unthrottle_group()
-> perf_event_unthrottle()
-> event->pmu->start(event, 0)
-> x86_pmu_start() // sets active_mask but not events[]
The race sequence is:
1. A group of perf events overflows, triggering group throttle via
perf_event_throttle_group(). All events are stopped: active_mask
bits cleared, events[] preserved (x86_pmu_stop no longer clears
events[] after commit 7e772a93eb61).
2. While still throttled (PERF_HES_STOPPED), x86_pmu_enable() runs
due to other scheduling activity. Stopped events that need to
move counters get PERF_HES_ARCH set and events[old_idx] cleared.
In step 2 of x86_pmu_enable(), PERF_HES_ARCH causes these events
to be skipped -- events[new_idx] is never set.
3. The timer tick unthrottles the group via pmu->start(). Since
commit 7e772a93eb61 removed the events[] assignment from
x86_pmu_start(), active_mask[new_idx] is set but events[new_idx]
remains NULL.
4. A PMC overflow NMI fires. The handler iterates active counters,
finds active_mask[2] set, reads events[2] which is NULL, and
crashes dereferencing it.
Move the cpuc->events[hwc->idx] assignment in x86_pmu_enable() to
before the PERF_HES_ARCH check, so that events[] is populated even
for events that are not immediately started. This ensures the
unthrottle path via pmu->start() always finds a valid event pointer.

vsock: add G2H fallback for CIDs not owned by H2G transport
When no H2G transport is loaded, vsock currently routes all CIDs to the
G2H transport (commit 65b422d9b61b ("vsock: forward all packets to the
host when no H2G is registered"). Extend that existing behavior: when
an H2G transport is loaded but does not claim a given CID, the
connection falls back to G2H in the same way.
This matters in environments like Nitro Enclaves, where an instance may
run nested VMs via vhost-vsock (H2G) while also needing to reach sibling
enclaves at higher CIDs through virtio-vsock-pci (G2H). With the old
code, any CID > 2 was unconditionally routed to H2G when vhost was
loaded, making those enclaves unreachable without setting
VMADDR_FLAG_TO_HOST explicitly on every connect.
Requiring every application to set VMADDR_FLAG_TO_HOST creates friction:
tools like socat, iperf, and others would all need to learn about it.
The flag was introduced 6 years ago and I am still not aware of any tool
that supports it. Even if there was support, it would be cumbersome to
use. The most natural experience is a single CID address space where H2G
only wins for CIDs it actually owns, and everything else falls through to
G2H, extending the behavior that already exists when H2G is absent.
To give user space at least a hint that the kernel applied this logic,
automatically set the VMADDR_FLAG_TO_HOST on the remote address so it
can determine the path taken via getpeername().
Add a per-network namespace sysctl net.vsock.g2h_fallback (default 1).
At 0 it forces strict routing: H2G always wins for CID > VMADDR_CID_HOST,
or ENODEV if H2G is not loaded.

DECOMPRESS flag is present.
- Use xe_pat_index_get_comp_en() helper to check if a PAT index
has compression enabled via the XE2_COMP_EN bit.
- Validate DECOMPRESS preconditions in the ioctl path:
- Only valid for MAP ops.
- The provided pat_index must select the device's "no-compression" PAT.
- Only meaningful on devices with flat CCS and the required XE2+
otherwise return -EOPNOTSUPP.
- Use XE_IOCTL_DBG for uAPI sanity checks.
- Implement xe_bo_decompress():
For VRAM BOs run xe_bo_move_notify(), reserve one fence slot,
schedule xe_migrate_resolve(), and attach the returned fence
with DMA_RESV_USAGE_KERNEL. Non-VRAM cases are silent no-ops.
- Wire scheduling into vma_lock_and_validate() so VM_BIND will schedule
decompression when request_decompress is set.
- Handle fault-mode VMs by performing decompression synchronously during
the bind process, ensuring that the resolve is completed before the bind
finishes.
This schedules an in-place GPU resolve (xe_migrate_resolve) for
decompression.

rust: pin-init: replace shadowed return token by `unsafe`-to-create token
We use a unit struct `__InitOk` in the closure generated by the
initializer macros as the return value. We shadow it by creating a
struct with the same name again inside of the closure, preventing early
returns of `Ok` in the initializer (before all fields have been
initialized).
In the face of Type Alias Impl Trait (TAIT) and the next trait solver,
this solution no longer works [1]. The shadowed struct can be named
through type inference. In addition, there is an RFC proposing to add
the feature of path inference to Rust, which would similarly allow [2].
Thus remove the shadowed token and replace it with an `unsafe` to create
token.
The reason we initially used the shadowing solution was because an
alternative solution used a builder pattern. Gary writes [3]:
In the early builder-pattern based InitOk, having a single InitOk
type for token is unsound because one can launder an InitOk token
used for one place to another initializer. I used a branded lifetime
solution, and then you figured out that using a shadowed type would
work better because nobody could construct it at all.
The laundering issue does not apply to the approach we ended up with
today.
With this change, the example by Tim Chirananthavat in [1] no longer
compiles and results in this error:
