        <description>Merge tag &apos;locking-core-2026-02-08&apos; of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tipPull locking updates from Ingo Molnar: &quot;Lock debugging:   - Implement compiler-driven static analysis locking context checking,     using the upcoming Clang 22 compiler&apos;s context analysis features     (Marco Elver)     We removed Sparse context analysis support, because prior to     removal even a defconfig kernel produced 1,700+ context tracking     Sparse warnings, the overwhelming majority of which are false     positives. On an allmodconfig kernel the number of false positive     context tracking Sparse warnings grows to over 5,200... On the plus     side of the balance actual locking bugs found by Sparse context     analysis is also rather ... sparse: I found only 3 such commits in     the last 3 years. So the rate of false positives and the     maintenance overhead is rather high and there appears to be no     active policy in place to achieve a zero-warnings baseline to move     the annotations &amp; fixers to developers who introduce new code.     Clang context analysis is more complete and more aggressive in     trying to find bugs, at least in principle. Plus it has a different     model to enabling it: it&apos;s enabled subsystem by subsystem, which     results in zero warnings on all relevant kernel builds (as far as     our testing managed to cover it). Which allowed us to enable it by     default, similar to other compiler warnings, with the expectation     that there are no warnings going forward. This enforces a     zero-warnings baseline on clang-22+ builds (Which are still limited     in distribution, admittedly)     Hopefully the Clang approach can lead to a more maintainable     zero-warnings status quo and policy, with more and more subsystems     and drivers enabling the feature. Context tracking can be enabled     for all kernel code via WARN_CONTEXT_ANALYSIS_ALL=y (default     disabled), but this will generate a lot of false positives.     ( Having said that, Sparse support could still be added back,       if anyone is interested - the removal patch is still       relatively straightforward to revert at this stage. )  Rust integration updates: (Alice Ryhl, Fujita Tomonori, Boqun Feng)    - Add support for Atomic&lt;i8/i16/bool&gt; and replace most Rust native      AtomicBool usages with Atomic&lt;bool&gt;    - Clean up LockClassKey and improve its documentation    - Add missing Send and Sync trait implementation for SetOnce    - Make ARef Unpin as it is supposed to be    - Add __rust_helper to a few Rust helpers as a preparation for      helper LTO    - Inline various lock related functions to avoid additional function      calls  WW mutexes:    - Extend ww_mutex tests and other test-ww_mutex updates (John      Stultz)  Misc fixes and cleanups:    - rcu: Mark lockdep_assert_rcu_helper() __always_inline (Arnd      Bergmann)    - locking/local_lock: Include more missing headers (Peter Zijlstra)    - seqlock: fix scoped_seqlock_read kernel-doc (Randy Dunlap)    - rust: sync: Replace `kernel::c_str!` with C-Strings (Tamir      Duberstein)&quot;* tag &apos;locking-core-2026-02-08&apos; of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (90 commits)  locking/rwlock: Fix write_trylock_irqsave() with CONFIG_INLINE_WRITE_TRYLOCK  rcu: Mark lockdep_assert_rcu_helper() __always_inline  compiler-context-analysis: Remove __assume_ctx_lock from initializers  tomoyo: Use scoped init guard  crypto: Use scoped init guard  kcov: Use scoped init guard  compiler-context-analysis: Introduce scoped init guards  cleanup: Make __DEFINE_LOCK_GUARD handle commas in initializers  seqlock: fix scoped_seqlock_read kernel-doc  tools: Update context analysis macros in compiler_types.h  rust: sync: Replace `kernel::c_str!` with C-Strings  rust: sync: Inline various lock related methods  rust: helpers: Move #define __rust_helper out of atomic.c  rust: wait: Add __rust_helper to helpers  rust: time: Add __rust_helper to helpers  rust: task: Add __rust_helper to helpers  rust: sync: Add __rust_helper to helpers  rust: refcount: Add __rust_helper to helpers  rust: rcu: Add __rust_helper to helpers  rust: processor: Add __rust_helper to helpers  ...

        <title>3269701cb25662ae8a9771a864201116626adb50 - compiler-context-analysis: Add infrastructure for Context Analysis with Clang</title>
        <link>http://opengrok.kc2vjw.com:8080/history/linux/scripts/Makefile.lib#3269701cb25662ae8a9771a864201116626adb50</link>
        <description>compiler-context-analysis: Add infrastructure for Context Analysis with ClangContext Analysis is a language extension, which enables staticallychecking that required contexts are active (or inactive), by acquiringand releasing user-definable &quot;context locks&quot;. An obvious application islock-safety checking for the kernel&apos;s various synchronization primitives(each of which represents a &quot;context lock&quot;), and checking that lockingrules are not violated.Clang originally called the feature &quot;Thread Safety Analysis&quot; [1]. Thiswas later changed and the feature became more flexible, gaining theability to define custom &quot;capabilities&quot;. Its foundations can be found in&quot;Capability Systems&quot; [2], used to specify the permissibility ofoperations to depend on some &quot;capability&quot; being held (or not held).Because the feature is not just able to express &quot;capabilities&quot; relatedto synchronization primitives, and &quot;capability&quot; is already overloaded inthe kernel, the naming chosen for the kernel departs from Clang&apos;s&quot;Thread Safety&quot; and &quot;capability&quot; nomenclature; we refer to the featureas &quot;Context Analysis&quot; to avoid confusion. The internal implementationstill makes references to Clang&apos;s terminology in a few places, such as`-Wthread-safety` being the warning option that also still appears indiagnostic messages. [1] https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ThreadSafetyAnalysis.html [2] https://www.cs.cornell.edu/talc/papers/capabilities.pdfSee more details in the kernel-doc documentation added in this andsubsequent changes.Clang version 22+ is required.[peterz: disable the thing for __CHECKER__ builds]Signed-off-by: Marco Elver &lt;elver@google.com&gt;Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) &lt;peterz@infradead.org&gt;Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251219154418.3592607-3-elver@google.com

        <description>Merge tag &apos;objtool-core-2025-12-01&apos; of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tipPull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar: - klp-build livepatch module generation (Josh Poimboeuf)   Introduce new objtool features and a klp-build script to generate   livepatch modules using a source .patch as input.   This builds on concepts from the longstanding out-of-tree kpatch   project which began in 2012 and has been used for many years to   generate livepatch modules for production kernels. However, this is a   complete rewrite which incorporates hard-earned lessons from 12+   years of maintaining kpatch.   Key improvements compared to kpatch-build:    - Integrated with objtool: Leverages objtool&apos;s existing control-flow      graph analysis to help detect changed functions.    - Works on vmlinux.o: Supports late-linked objects, making it      compatible with LTO, IBT, and similar.    - Simplified code base: ~3k fewer lines of code.    - Upstream: No more out-of-tree #ifdef hacks, far less cruft.    - Cleaner internals: Vastly simplified logic for      symbol/section/reloc inclusion and special section extraction.    - Robust __LINE__ macro handling: Avoids false positive binary diffs      caused by the __LINE__ macro by introducing a fix-patch-lines      script which injects #line directives into the source .patch to      preserve the original line numbers at compile time. - Disassemble code with libopcodes instead of running objdump   (Alexandre Chartre) - Disassemble support (-d option to objtool) by Alexandre Chartre,   which supports the decoding of various Linux kernel code generation   specials such as alternatives:      17ef:  sched_balance_find_dst_group+0x62f                 mov    0x34(%r9),%edx      17f3:  sched_balance_find_dst_group+0x633               | &lt;alternative.17f3&gt;             | X86_FEATURE_POPCNT      17f3:  sched_balance_find_dst_group+0x633               | call   0x17f8 &lt;__sw_hweight64&gt; | popcnt %rdi,%rax      17f8:  sched_balance_find_dst_group+0x638                 cmp    %eax,%edx   ... jump table alternatives:      1895:  sched_use_asym_prio+0x5                            test   $0x8,%ch      1898:  sched_use_asym_prio+0x8                            je     0x18a9 &lt;sched_use_asym_prio+0x19&gt;      189a:  sched_use_asym_prio+0xa                          | &lt;jump_table.189a&gt;                        | JUMP      189a:  sched_use_asym_prio+0xa                          | jmp    0x18ae &lt;sched_use_asym_prio+0x1e&gt; | nop2      189c:  sched_use_asym_prio+0xc                            mov    $0x1,%eax      18a1:  sched_use_asym_prio+0x11                           and    $0x80,%ecx   ... exception table alternatives:    native_read_msr:      5b80:  native_read_msr+0x0                                                     mov    %edi,%ecx      5b82:  native_read_msr+0x2                                                   | &lt;ex_table.5b82&gt; | EXCEPTION      5b82:  native_read_msr+0x2                                                   | rdmsr           | resume at 0x5b84 &lt;native_read_msr+0x4&gt;      5b84:  native_read_msr+0x4                                                     shl    $0x20,%rdx   .... x86 feature flag decoding (also see the X86_FEATURE_POPCNT        example in sched_balance_find_dst_group() above):      2faaf:  start_thread_common.constprop.0+0x1f                                    jne    0x2fba4 &lt;start_thread_common.constprop.0+0x114&gt;      2fab5:  start_thread_common.constprop.0+0x25                                  | &lt;alternative.2fab5&gt;                  | X86_FEATURE_ALWAYS                                  | X86_BUG_NULL_SEG      2fab5:  start_thread_common.constprop.0+0x25                                  | jmp    0x2faba &lt;.altinstr_aux+0x2f4&gt; | jmp    0x4b0 &lt;start_thread_common.constprop.0+0x3f&gt; | nop5      2faba:  start_thread_common.constprop.0+0x2a                                    mov    $0x2b,%eax   ...

        <description>objtool/klp: Only enable --checksum when neededWith CONFIG_KLP_BUILD enabled, checksums are only needed during aklp-build run.  There&apos;s no need to enable them for normal kernel builds.This also has the benefit of softening the xxhash dependency.Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf &lt;jpoimboe@kernel.org&gt;Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) &lt;peterz@infradead.org&gt;Tested-by: Michael Kelley &lt;mhklinux@outlook.com&gt;Link: https://patch.msgid.link/edbb1ca215e4926e02edb493b68b9d6d063e902f.1762990139.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org
