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.
- Use kstrdup_const()/kfree_const() for securityfs symlink targets
- Resolve a handful of kernel-doc warnings in cred.h"

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"

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.

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.

Merge tag 'rust-7.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ojeda/linux
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"

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 |

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.

Pull workqueue fix from Tejun Heo:
"This is a fix for a stall which triggers on ordered workqueues when
there are multiple inactive work items during workqueue property
changes through sysfs, which doesn't happen that frequently.
While really late, the fix is very low risk as it just repeats an
operation which is already being performed:
- Fix incomplete activation of multiple inactive works when
unplugging a pool_workqueue, where the pending_pwqs list
wasn't being updated for subsequent works"

Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Two fixes for the time/timers subsystem:
- Invert the inverted fastpath decision in check_tick_dependency(),
which prevents NOHZ full to stop the tick. That's a regression
introduced in the 7.0 merge window.
- Prevent a unpriviledged DoS in the clockevents code, where user
space can starve the timer interrupt by arming a timerfd or posix
interval timer in a tight loop with an absolute expiry time in the
past. The fix turned out to be incomplete and was was amended
yesterday to make it work on some 20 years old AMD machines as
well. All issues with it have been confirmed to be resolved by
various reporters"
