Pull LSM updates from Paul Moore:
 "We only have five patches in the LSM tree, but three of the five are
  for an important bugfix relating to overlayfs and the mmap() and
  mprotect() access controls for LSMs. Highlights below:

   - Fix problems with the mmap() and mprotect() LSM hooks on overlayfs

     As we are dealing with problems both in mmap() and mprotect() there
     are essentially two components to this fix, spread across three
     patches with all marked for stable.

     The simplest portion of the fix is the creation of a new LSM hook,
     security_mmap_backing_file(), that is used to enforce LSM mmap()
     access controls on backing files in the stacked/overlayfs case. The
     existing security_mmap_file() does not have visibility past the
     user file. You can see from the associated SELinux hook callback
     the code is fairly straightforward.

     The mprotect() fix is a bit more complicated as there is no way in
     the mprotect() code path to inspect both the user and backing
     files, and bolting on a second file reference to vm_area_struct
     wasn't really an option.

     The solution taken here adds a LSM security blob and associated
     hooks to the backing_file struct that LSMs can use to capture and
     store relevant information from the user file. While the necessary
     SELinux information is relatively small, a single u32, I expect
     other LSMs to require more than that, and a dedicated backing_file
     LSM blob provides a storage mechanism without negatively impacting
     other filesystems.

     I want to note that other LSMs beyond SELinux have been involved in
     the discussion of the fixes presented here and they are working on
     their own related changes using these new hooks, but due to other
     issues those patches will be coming at a later date.

 - Improved handling of unknown status requests from userspace

   The current kernel code ignores unknown/unused request bits sent from
   userspace and returns an error code based on the results of the

   that unknown requests return an -EINVAL to userspace, making

Linus Torvalds 07c3ef5822 Merge tag 'vfs-7.1-rc1.pidfs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull clone and pidfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Add three new clone3() flags for pidfd-based process lifecycle
  management.

  CLONE_AUTOREAP:

     CLONE_AUTOREAP makes a child process auto-reap on exit without ever
     becoming a zombie. This is a per-process property in contrast to
     the existing auto-reap mechanism via SA_NOCLDWAIT or SIG_IGN for
     SIGCHLD which applies to all children of a given parent.

     Currently the only way to automatically reap children is to set
     SA_NOCLDWAIT or SIG_IGN on SIGCHLD. This is a parent-scoped
     property affecting all children which makes it unsuitable for
     libraries or applications that need selective auto-reaping of
     specific children while still being able to wait() on others.

     CLONE_AUTOREAP stores an autoreap flag in the child's
     signal_struct. When the child exits do_notify_parent() checks this
     flag and causes exit_notify() to transition the task directly to
     EXIT_DEAD. Since the flag lives on the child it survives
     reparenting: if the original parent exits and the child is
     reparented to a subreaper or init the child still auto-reaps when
     it eventually exits. This is cleaner than forcing the subreaper to
     get SIGCHLD and then reaping it. If the parent doesn't care the
     subreaper won't care. If there's a subreaper that would care it
     would be easy enough to add a prctl() that either just turns back
     on SIGCHLD and turns off auto-reaping or a prctl() that just
     notifies the subreaper whenever a child is reparented to it.

     CLONE_AUTOREAP can be combined with CLONE_PIDFD to allow the parent
     to monitor the child's exit via poll() and retrieve exit status via
     PIDFD_GET_INFO. Without CLONE_PIDFD it provides a fire-and-forget
     pattern. No exit signal is delivered so exit_signal must be zero.
     CLONE_THREAD and CLONE_PARENT are rejected: CLONE_THREAD because
     autoreap is a process-level property, and CLONE_PARENT because an
     autoreap child reparented via CLONE_PARENT could become an
     invisible zombie under a parent that never calls wait().

     The flag is not inherited by the autoreap process's own children.
     Each child that should be autoreaped must be explicitly created
     with CLONE_AUTOREAP.

  CLONE_NNP:

     CLONE_NNP sets no_new_privs on the child at clone time. Unlike
     prctl(PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS) which a process sets on itself,
     CLONE_NNP allows the parent to impose no_new_privs on the child at
     creation without affecting the parent's own privileges.
     CLONE_THREAD is rejected because threads share credentials.
     CLONE_NNP is useful on its own for any spawn-and-sandbox pattern
     but was specifically introduced to enable unprivileged usage of
     CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL.

  CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL:

     This flag ties a child's lifetime to the pidfd returned from
     clone3(). When the last reference to the struct file created by
     clone3() is closed the kernel sends SIGKILL to the child. A pidfd
     obtained via pidfd_open() for the same process does not keep the
     child alive and does not trigger autokill - only the specific
     struct file from clone3() has this property. This is useful for
     container runtimes, service managers, and sandboxed subprocess
     execution - any scenario where the child must die if the parent
     crashes or abandons the pidfd or just wants a throwaway helper
     process.

     CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL requires both CLONE_PIDFD and CLONE_AUTOREAP.
     It requires CLONE_PIDFD because the whole point is tying the
     child's lifetime to the pidfd. It requires CLONE_AUTOREAP because a
     killed child with no one to reap it would become a zombie - the
     primary use case is the parent crashing or abandoning the pidfd so
     no one is around to call waitpid(). CLONE_THREAD is rejected
     because autokill targets a process not a thread.

     If CLONE_NNP is specified together with CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL an
     unprivileged user may spawn a process that is autokilled. The child
     cannot escalate privileges via setuid/setgid exec after being
     spawned. If CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL is specified without CLONE_NNP the
     caller must have have CAP_SYS_ADMIN in its user namespace"

Linus Torvalds b7d74ea0fd Merge tag 'vfs-7.1-rc1.kino' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs i_ino updates from Christian Brauner:
 "For historical reasons, the inode->i_ino field is an unsigned long,
  which means that it's 32 bits on 32 bit architectures. This has caused
  a number of filesystems to implement hacks to hash a 64-bit identifier
  into a 32-bit field, and deprives us of a universal identifier field
  for an inode.

  This changes the inode->i_ino field from an unsigned long to a u64.
  This shouldn't make any material difference on 64-bit hosts, but
  32-bit hosts will see struct inode grow by at least 4 bytes. This
  could have effects on slabcache sizes and field alignment.

  The bulk of the changes are to format strings and tracepoints, since
  the kernel itself doesn't care that much about the i_ino field. The
  first patch changes some vfs function arguments, so check that one out
  carefully.

  With this change, we may be able to shrink some inode structures. For
  instance, struct nfs_inode has a fileid field that holds the 64-bit
  inode number. With this set of changes, that field could be
  eliminated. I'd rather leave that sort of cleanups for later just to
  keep this simple"

  Compared to the baseline this does not change performance for writes,

  decreasing with larger I/O sizes as even the baseline maxes out the

Linus Torvalds c8db08110c Merge tag 'vfs-7.1-rc1.xattr' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs xattr updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This reworks the simple_xattr infrastructure and adds support for
  user.* extended attributes on sockets.

  The simple_xattr subsystem currently uses an rbtree protected by a
  reader-writer spinlock. This series replaces the rbtree with an
  rhashtable giving O(1) average-case lookup with RCU-based lockless
  reads. This sped up concurrent access patterns on tmpfs quite a bit
  and it's an overall easy enough conversion to do and gets rid or
  rwlock_t.

  The conversion is done incrementally: a new rhashtable path is added
  alongside the existing rbtree, consumers are migrated one at a time
  (shmem, kernfs, pidfs), and then the rbtree code is removed. All three
  consumers switch from embedded structs to pointer-based lazy
  allocation so the rhashtable overhead is only paid for inodes that
  actually use xattrs.

  With this infrastructure in place the series adds support for user.*
  xattrs on sockets. Path-based AF_UNIX sockets inherit xattr support
  from the underlying filesystem (e.g. tmpfs) but sockets in sockfs -
  that is everything created via socket() including abstract namespace
  AF_UNIX sockets - had no xattr support at all.

  The xattr_permission() checks are reworked to allow user.* xattrs on
  S_IFSOCK inodes. Sockfs sockets get per-inode limits of 128 xattrs and
  128KB total value size matching the limits already in use for kernfs.

  The practical motivation comes from several directions. systemd and
  GNOME are expanding their use of Varlink as an IPC mechanism.

  For D-Bus there are tools like dbus-monitor that can observe IPC
  traffic across the system but this only works because D-Bus has a
  central broker.

  For Varlink there is no broker and there is currently no way to
  identify which sockets speak Varlink. With user.* xattrs on sockets a
  service can label its socket with the IPC protocol it speaks (e.g.,
  user.varlink=1) and an eBPF program can then selectively capture
  traffic on those sockets. Enumerating bound sockets via netlink
  combined with these xattr labels gives a way to discover all Varlink
  IPC entrypoints for debugging and introspection.

  Similarly, systemd-journald wants to use xattrs on the /dev/log socket
  for protocol negotiation to indicate whether RFC 5424 structured
  syslog is supported or whether only the legacy RFC 3164 format should
  be used.

  In containers these labels are particularly useful as high-privilege
  or more complicated solutions for socket identification aren't
  available.

  The series comes with comprehensive selftests covering path-based
  AF_UNIX sockets, sockfs socket operations, per-inode limit
  enforcement, and xattr operations across multiple address families
  (AF_INET, AF_INET6, AF_NETLINK, AF_PACKET)"

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
 "Toolchain and infrastructure:

   - Bump the minimum Rust version to 1.85.0 (and 'bindgen' to 0.71.1).

     As proposed in LPC 2025 and the Maintainers Summit [1], we are
     going to follow Debian Stable's Rust versions as our minimum
     versions.

     Debian Trixie was released on 2025-08-09 with a Rust 1.85.0 and
     'bindgen' 0.71.1 toolchain, which is a fair amount of time for e.g.
     kernel developers to upgrade.

     Other major distributions support a Rust version that is high
     enough as well, including:

       + Arch Linux.
       + Fedora Linux.
       + Gentoo Linux.
       + Nix.
       + openSUSE Slowroll and openSUSE Tumbleweed.
       + Ubuntu 25.10 and 26.04 LTS. In addition, 24.04 LTS using
         their versioned packages.

     The merged patch series comes with the associated cleanups and
     simplifications treewide that can be performed thanks to both
     bumps, as well as documentation updates.

     In addition, start using 'bindgen''s '--with-attribute-custom-enum'
     feature to set the 'cfi_encoding' attribute for the 'lru_status'
     enum used in Binder.

     Link: https://lwn.net/Articles/1050174/ [1]

   - Add experimental Kconfig option ('CONFIG_RUST_INLINE_HELPERS') that
     inlines C helpers into Rust.

     Essentially, it performs a step similar to LTO, but just for the
     helpers, i.e. very local and fast.

     It relies on 'llvm-link' and its '--internalize' flag, and requires
     a compatible LLVM between Clang and 'rustc' (i.e. same major
     version, 'CONFIG_RUSTC_CLANG_LLVM_COMPATIBLE'). It is only enabled
     for two architectures for now.

     The result is a measurable speedup in different workloads that
     different users have tested. For instance, for the null block
     driver, it amounts to a 2%.

   - Support global per-version flags.

     While we already have per-version flags in many places, we didn't
     have a place to set global ones that depend on the compiler
     version, i.e. in 'rust_common_flags', which sometimes is needed to
     e.g. tweak the lints set per version.

     Use that to allow the 'clippy::precedence' lint for Rust < 1.86.0,
     since it had a change in behavior.

   - Support overriding the crate name and apply it to Rust Binder,
     which wanted the module to be called 'rust_binder'.

   - Add the remaining '__rust_helper' annotations (started in the
     previous cycle).

  'kernel' crate:

   - Introduce the 'const_assert!' macro: a more powerful version of
     'static_assert!' that can refer to generics inside functions or
     implementation bodies, e.g.:

         fn f<const N: usize>() {
             const_assert!(N > 1);
         }

         fn g<T>() {
             const_assert!(size_of::<T>() > 0, "T cannot be ZST");
         }

     In addition, reorganize our set of build-time assertion macros
     ('{build,const,static_assert}!') to live in the 'build_assert'
     module.

     Finally, improve the docs as well to clarify how these are
     different from one another and how to pick the right one to use,
     and their equivalence (if any) to the existing C ones for extra
     clarity.

   - 'sizes' module: add 'SizeConstants' trait.

     This gives us typed 'SZ_*' constants (avoiding casts) for use in
     device address spaces where the address width depends on the
     hardware (e.g. 32-bit MMIO windows, 64-bit GPU framebuffers, etc.),
     e.g.:

         let gpu_heap = 14 * u64::SZ_1M;
         let mmio_window = u32::SZ_16M;

   - 'clk' module: implement 'Send' and 'Sync' for 'Clk' and thus
     simplify the users in Tyr and PWM.

   - 'ptr' module: add 'const_align_up'.

   - 'str' module: improve the documentation of the 'c_str!' macro to
     explain that one should only use it for non-literal cases (for the
     other case we instead use C string literals, e.g. 'c"abc"').

   - Disallow the use of 'CStr::{as_ptr,from_ptr}' and clean one such
     use in the 'task' module.

   - 'sync' module: finish the move of 'ARef' and 'AlwaysRefCounted'
     outside of the 'types' module, i.e. update the last remaining
     instances and finally remove the re-exports.

   - 'error' module: clarify that 'from_err_ptr' can return 'Ok(NULL)',
     including runtime-tested examples.

     The intention is to hopefully prevent UB that assumes the result of
     the function is not 'NULL' if successful. This originated from a
     case of UB I noticed in 'regulator' that created a 'NonNull' on it.

  Timekeeping:

   - Expand the example section in the 'HrTimer' documentation.

   - Mark the 'ClockSource' trait as unsafe to ensure valid values for
     'ktime_get()'.

   - Add 'Delta::from_nanos()'.

  'pin-init' crate:

   - Replace the 'Zeroable' impls for 'Option<NonZero*>' with impls of
     'ZeroableOption' for 'NonZero*'.

   - Improve feature gate handling for unstable features.

   - Declutter the documentation of implementations of 'Zeroable' for
     tuples.

   - Replace uses of 'addr_of[_mut]!' with '&raw [mut]'.

  rust-analyzer:

   - Add type annotations to 'generate_rust_analyzer.py'.

   - Add support for scripts written in Rust ('generate_rust_target.rs',
     'rustdoc_test_builder.rs', 'rustdoc_test_gen.rs').

   - Refactor 'generate_rust_analyzer.py' to explicitly identify host
     and target crates, improve readability, and reduce duplication.

  And some other fixes, cleanups and improvements"

Linus Torvalds 599bbba5a3 proc: make PROC_MEM_FORCE_PTRACE the Kconfig default
This kconfig option was introduced 18 months ago, with the historical
default of always allowing forcing memory permission overrides in order
to not change any existing behavior.

But it was documented as "for now", and this is a gentle nudge to people
that you probably _should_ be using PROC_MEM_FORCE_PTRACE.  I've had
that in my local kernel config since the option was introduced.

Anybody who just does "make oldconfig" will pick up their old
configuration with no change, so this is still meant to not change any
existing system behavior, but at least gently prod people into trying
it.

I'd love to get rid of FOLL_FORCE entirely (see commit 8ee74a91ac
"proc: try to remove use of FOLL_FORCE entirely" from roughly a decade
ago), but sadly that is likely not a realistic option (see commit
f511c0b17b "Yes, people use FOLL_FORCE ;)" three weeks later).

But at least let's make it more obvious that you have the choice to
limit it and force people to at least be a bit more conscious about
their use of FOLL_FORCE, since judging from a recent discussion people
weren't even aware of this one.

Linus Torvalds fdcbb1bc06 Merge branch 'nocache-cleanup'
This series cleans up some of the special user copy functions naming and
semantics.  In particular, get rid of the (very traditional) double
underscore names and behavior: the whole "optimize away the range check"
model has been largely excised from the other user accessors because
it's so subtle and can be unsafe, but also because it's just not a
relevant optimization any more.

To do that, a couple of drivers that misused the "user" copies as kernel
copies in order to get non-temporal stores had to be fixed up, but that
kind of code should never have been allowed anyway.

The x86-only "nocache" version was also renamed to more accurately
reflect what it actually does.

This was all done because I looked at this code due to a report by Jann
Horn, and I just couldn't stand the inconsistent naming, the horrible
semantics, and the random misuse of these functions.  This code should
probably be cleaned up further, but it's at least slightly closer to
normal semantics.

I had a more intrusive series that went even further in trying to
normalize the semantics, but that ended up hitting so many other
inconsistencies between different architectures in this area (eg
'size_t' vs 'unsigned long' vs 'int' as size arguments, and various
iovec check differences that Vasily Gorbik pointed out) that I ended up
with this more limited version that fixed the worst of the issues.
