Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas: "The biggest changes are MPAM enablement in drivers/resctrl and new PMU support under drivers/perf.
On the core side, FEAT_LSUI lets futex atomic operations with EL0 permissions, avoiding PAN toggling.
The rest is mostly TLB invalidation refactoring, further generic entry work, sysreg updates and a few fixes.
Core features:
- Add support for FEAT_LSUI, allowing futex atomic operations without toggling Privileged Access Never (PAN)
- Further refactor the arm64 exception handling code towards the generic entry infrastructure
- Optimise __READ_ONCE() with CONFIG_LTO=y and allow alias analysis through it
Memory management:
- Refactor the arm64 TLB invalidation API and implementation for better control over barrier placement and level-hinted invalidation
- Enable batched TLB flushes during memory hot-unplug
- Fix rodata=full block mapping support for realm guests (when BBML2_NOABORT is available)
Perf and PMU:
- Add support for a whole bunch of system PMUs featured in NVIDIA's Tegra410 SoC (cspmu extensions for the fabric and PCIe, new drivers for CPU/C2C memory latency PMUs)
- Clean up iomem resource handling in the Arm CMN driver
- Fix signedness handling of AA64DFR0.{PMUVer,PerfMon}
MPAM (Memory Partitioning And Monitoring):
- Add architecture context-switch and hiding of the feature from KVM
- Add interface to allow MPAM to be exposed to user-space using resctrl
- Add errata workaround for some existing platforms
- Add documentation for using MPAM and what shape of platforms can use resctrl
Miscellaneous:
- Check DAIF (and PMR, where relevant) at task-switch time
- Skip TFSR_EL1 checks and barriers in synchronous MTE tag check mode (only relevant to asynchronous or asymmetric tag check modes)
- Remove a duplicate allocation in the kexec code
- Remove redundant save/restore of SCS SP on entry to/from EL0
- Generate the KERNEL_HWCAP_ definitions from the arm64 hwcap descriptions
- Add kselftest coverage for cmpbr_sigill()
- Update sysreg definitions"

Merge tag 'timers-core-2026-04-12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull timer core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- A rework of the hrtimer subsystem to reduce the overhead for frequently armed timers, especially the hrtick scheduler timer:
- Better timer locality decision
- Simplification of the evaluation of the first expiry time by keeping track of the neighbor timers in the RB-tree by providing a RB-tree variant with neighbor links. That avoids walking the RB-tree on removal to find the next expiry time, but even more important allows to quickly evaluate whether a timer which is rearmed changes the position in the RB-tree with the modified expiry time or not. If not, the dequeue/enqueue sequence which both can end up in rebalancing can be completely avoided.
- Deferred reprogramming of the underlying clock event device. This optimizes for the situation where a hrtimer callback sets the need resched bit. In that case the code attempts to defer the re-programming of the clock event device up to the point where the scheduler has picked the next task and has the next hrtick timer armed. In case that there is no immediate reschedule or soft interrupts have to be handled before reaching the reschedule point in the interrupt entry code the clock event is reprogrammed in one of those code paths to prevent that the timer becomes stale.
- Support for clocksource coupled clockevents
The TSC deadline timer is coupled to the TSC. The next event is programmed in TSC time. Currently this is done by converting the CLOCK_MONOTONIC based expiry value into a relative timeout, converting it into TSC ticks, reading the TSC adding the delta ticks and writing the deadline MSR.
As the timekeeping core has the conversion factors for the TSC already, the whole back and forth conversion can be completely avoided. The timekeeping core calculates the reverse conversion factors from nanoseconds to TSC ticks and utilizes the base timestamps of TSC and CLOCK_MONOTONIC which are updated once per tick. This allows a direct conversion into the TSC deadline value without reading the time and as a bonus keeps the deadline conversion in sync with the TSC conversion factors, which are updated by adjtimex() on systems with NTP/PTP enabled.
- Allow inlining of the clocksource read and clockevent write functions when they are tiny enough, e.g. on x86 RDTSC and WRMSR.
With all those enhancements in place a hrtick enabled scheduler provides the same performance as without hrtick. But also other hrtimer users obviously benefit from these optimizations.
- Robustness improvements and cleanups of historical sins in the hrtimer and timekeeping code.
- Rewrite of the clocksource watchdog.
The clocksource watchdog code has over time reached the state of an impenetrable maze of duct tape and staples. The original design, which was made in the context of systems far smaller than today, is based on the assumption that the to be monitored clocksource (TSC) can be trivially compared against a known to be stable clocksource (HPET/ACPI-PM timer).
Over the years this rather naive approach turned out to have major flaws. Long delays between the watchdog invocations can cause wrap arounds of the reference clocksource. The access to the reference clocksource degrades on large multi-sockets systems dure to interconnect congestion. This has been addressed with various heuristics which degraded the accuracy of the watchdog to the point that it fails to detect actual TSC problems on older hardware which exposes slow inter CPU drifts due to firmware manipulating the TSC to hide SMI time.
The rewrite addresses this by:
- Restricting the validation against the reference clocksource to the boot CPU which is usually closest to the legacy block which contains the reference clocksource (HPET/ACPI-PM).
- Do a round robin validation betwen the boot CPU and the other CPUs based only on the TSC with an algorithm similar to the TSC synchronization code during CPU hotplug.
- Being more leniant versus remote timeouts
- The usual tiny fixes, cleanups and enhancements all over the place

entry: Split kernel mode logic from irqentry_{enter,exit}()
The generic irqentry code has entry/exit functions specifically for exceptions taken from user mode, but doesn't have entry/exit functions specifically for exceptions taken from kernel mode.
It would be helpful to have separate entry/exit functions specifically for exceptions taken from kernel mode. This would make the structure of the entry code more consistent, and would make it easier for architectures to manage logic specific to exceptions taken from kernel mode.
Move the logic specific to kernel mode out of irqentry_enter() and irqentry_exit() into new irqentry_enter_from_kernel_mode() and irqentry_exit_to_kernel_mode() functions. These are marked __always_inline and placed in irq-entry-common.h, as with irqentry_enter_from_user_mode() and irqentry_exit_to_user_mode(), so that they can be inlined into architecture-specific wrappers. The existing out-of-line irqentry_enter() and irqentry_exit() functions retained as callers of the new functions.
The lockdep assertion from irqentry_exit() is moved into irqentry_exit_to_user_mode() and irqentry_exit_to_kernel_mode(). This was previously missing from irqentry_exit_to_user_mode() when called directly, and any new lockdep assertion failure relating from this change is a latent bug.
Aside from the lockdep change noted above, there should be no functional change as a result of this change.

entry: Remove local_irq_{enable,disable}_exit_to_user()
local_irq_enable_exit_to_user() and local_irq_disable_exit_to_user() are never overridden by architecture code, and are always equivalent to local_irq_enable() and local_irq_disable().
These functions were added on the assumption that arm64 would override them to manage 'DAIF' exception masking, as described by Thomas Gleixner in these threads:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20190919150809.340471236@linutronix.de/ https://lore.kernel.org/all/alpine.DEB.2.21.1910240119090.1852@nanos.tec.linutronix.de/
In practice arm64 did not need to override either. Prior to moving to the generic irqentry code, arm64's management of DAIF was reworked in commit:
97d935faacde ("arm64: Unmask Debug + SError in do_notify_resume()")
Since that commit, arm64 only masks interrupts during the 'prepare' step when returning to user mode, and masks other DAIF exceptions later. Within arm64_exit_to_user_mode(), the arm64 entry code is as follows:
local_irq_disable(); exit_to_user_mode_prepare_legacy(regs); local_daif_mask(); mte_check_tfsr_exit(); exit_to_user_mode();
Remove the unnecessary local_irq_enable_exit_to_user() and local_irq_disable_exit_to_user() functions.

entry: Prepare for deferred hrtimer rearming
The hrtimer interrupt expires timers and at the end of the interrupt it rearms the clockevent device for the next expiring timer.
That's obviously correct, but in the case that a expired timer sets NEED_RESCHED the return from interrupt ends up in schedule(). If HRTICK is enabled then schedule() will modify the hrtick timer, which causes another reprogramming of the hardware.
That can be avoided by deferring the rearming to the return from interrupt path and if the return results in a immediate schedule() invocation then it can be deferred until the end of schedule(), which avoids multiple rearms and re-evaluation of the timer wheel.
As this is only relevant for interrupt to user return split the work masks up and hand them in as arguments from the relevant exit to user functions, which allows the compiler to optimize the deferred handling out for the syscall exit to user case.
Add the rearm checks to the approritate places in the exit to user loop and the interrupt return to kernel path, so that the rearming is always guaranteed.
In the return to user space path this is handled in the same way as TIF_RSEQ to avoid extra instructions in the fast path, which are truly hurtful for device interrupt heavy work loads as the extra instructions and conditionals while benign at first sight accumulate quickly into measurable regressions. The return from syscall path is completely unaffected due to the above mentioned split so syscall heavy workloads wont have any extra burden.
For now this is just placing empty stubs at the right places which are all optimized out by the compiler until the actual functionality is in place.

Merge tag 'sched-core-2026-02-09' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar: "Scheduler Kconfig space updates:
- Further consolidate configurable preemption modes (Peter Zijlstra)
Reduce the number of architectures that are allowed to offer PREEMPT_NONE and PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, reducing the number of preemption models from four to just two: 'full' and 'lazy' on up-to-date architectures (arm64, loongarch, powerpc, riscv, s390, x86).
None and voluntary are only available as legacy features on platforms that don't implement lazy preemption yet, or which don't even support preemption.
The goal is to eventually remove cond_resched() and voluntary preemption altogether.
RSEQ based 'scheduler time slice extension' support (Thomas Gleixner and Peter Zijlstra):
This allows a thread to request a time slice extension when it enters a critical section to avoid contention on a resource when the thread is scheduled out inside of the critical section.
- Add fields and constants for time slice extension - Provide static branch for time slice extensions - Add statistics for time slice extensions - Add prctl() to enable time slice extensions - Implement sys_rseq_slice_yield() - Implement syscall entry work for time slice extensions - Implement time slice extension enforcement timer - Reset slice extension when scheduled - Implement rseq_grant_slice_extension() - entry: Hook up rseq time slice extension - selftests: Implement time slice extension test - Allow registering RSEQ with slice extension - Move slice_ext_nsec to debugfs - Lower default slice extension - selftests/rseq: Add rseq slice histogram script
Scheduler performance/scalability improvements:
- Update rq->avg_idle when a task is moved to an idle CPU, which improves the scalability of various workloads (Shubhang Kaushik)
- Reorder fields in 'struct rq' for better caching (Blake Jones)
- Fair scheduler SMP NOHZ balancing code speedups (Shrikanth Hegde): - Move checking for nohz cpus after time check - Change likelyhood of nohz.nr_cpus - Remove nohz.nr_cpus and use weight of cpumask instead
- Avoid false sharing for sched_clock_irqtime (Wangyang Guo)
- Cleanups (Yury Norov): - Drop useless cpumask_empty() in find_energy_efficient_cpu() - Simplify task_numa_find_cpu() - Use cpumask_weight_and() in sched_balance_find_dst_group()
DL scheduler updates:
- Add a deadline server for sched_ext tasks (by Andrea Righi and Joel Fernandes, with fixes by Peter Zijlstra)
RT scheduler updates:
- Skip currently executing CPU in rto_next_cpu() (Chen Jinghuang)
Entry code updates and performance improvements (Jinjie Ruan)
This is part of the scheduler tree in this cycle due to inter- dependencies with the RSEQ based time slice extension work:
- Remove unused syscall argument from syscall_trace_enter() - Rework syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work() for architecture reuse - Add arch_ptrace_report_syscall_entry/exit() - Inline syscall_exit_work() and syscall_trace_enter()
Scheduler core updates (Peter Zijlstra):
- Rework sched_class::wakeup_preempt() and rq_modified_*() - Avoid rq->lock bouncing in sched_balance_newidle() - Rename rcu_dereference_check_sched_domain() => rcu_dereference_sched_domain() - <linux/compiler_types.h>: Add the __signed_scalar_typeof() helper
Fair scheduler updates/refactoring (Peter Zijlstra and Ingo Molnar):
- Fold the sched_avg update - Change rcu_dereference_check_sched_domain() to rcu-sched - Switch to rcu_dereference_all() - Remove superfluous rcu_read_lock() - Limit hrtick work - Join two #ifdef CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED blocks - Clean up comments in 'struct cfs_rq' - Separate se->vlag from se->vprot - Rename cfs_rq::avg_load to cfs_rq::sum_weight - Rename cfs_rq::avg_vruntime to ::sum_w_vruntime & helper functions - Introduce and use the vruntime_cmp() and vruntime_op() wrappers for wrapped-signed aritmetics - Sort out 'blocked_load*' namespace noise
Scheduler debugging code updates:
- Export hidden tracepoints to modules (Gabriele Monaco)
- Convert copy_from_user() + kstrtouint() to kstrtouint_from_user() (Fushuai Wang)
- Add assertions to QUEUE_CLASS (Peter Zijlstra)
- hrtimer: Fix tracing oddity (Thomas Gleixner)
Misc fixes and cleanups:
- Re-evaluate scheduling when migrating queued tasks out of throttled cgroups (Zicheng Qu)
- Remove task_struct->faults_disabled_mapping (Christoph Hellwig)
- Fix math notation errors in avg_vruntime comment (Zhan Xusheng)
- sched/cpufreq: Use %pe format for PTR_ERR() printing (zenghongling)"

We've been quite busy with fixes since the merge window, though not in any particularly exciting ways - the standout thing is the fix for _SX controls which were broken by a change to how we do clamping, otherwise it's all fairly run of the mill fixes and quirks.

Merge tag 'core-rseq-2025-11-30' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull rseq updates from Thomas Gleixner: "A large overhaul of the restartable sequences and CID management:
The recent enablement of RSEQ in glibc resulted in regressions which are caused by the related overhead. It turned out that the decision to invoke the exit to user work was not really a decision. More or less each context switch caused that. There is a long list of small issues which sums up nicely and results in a 3-4% regression in I/O benchmarks.
The other detail which caused issues due to extra work in context switch and task migration is the CID (memory context ID) management. It also requires to use a task work to consolidate the CID space, which is executed in the context of an arbitrary task and results in sporadic uncontrolled exit latencies.
The rewrite addresses this by:
- Removing deprecated and long unsupported functionality
- Moving the related data into dedicated data structures which are optimized for fast path processing.
- Caching values so actual decisions can be made
- Replacing the current implementation with a optimized inlined variant.
- Separating fast and slow path for architectures which use the generic entry code, so that only fault and error handling goes into the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME handler.
- Rewriting the CID management so that it becomes mostly invisible in the context switch path. That moves the work of switching modes into the fork/exit path, which is a reasonable tradeoff. That work is only required when a process creates more threads than the cpuset it is allowed to run on or when enough threads exit after that. An artificial thread pool benchmarks which triggers this did not degrade, it actually improved significantly.
The main effect in migration heavy scenarios is that runqueue lock held time and therefore contention goes down significantly"
