Since v4.6 the BUDDY flag is set for _all_ pages in the block
and no longer just for the first one.
This change was introduced by:
commit 832fc1de01ae ("/proc/kpageflags: return KPF_BUDDY for "tail" buddy pages")
Strictly speaking, this was an ABI change, but as nobody has noticed
since 2016, let's just update the documentation.

Which serves as a global default sys_info mask. When users want the same
system information for many error cases (panic, hung, lockup ...), they
can chose to set this global knob only once, while not setting up each
individual sys_info knobs.
This just adds a 'lazy' option, and doesn't change existing kernel
behavior as the mask is 0 by default.

When soft/hard lockup happens, developers may need different kinds of
system information (call-stacks, memory info, locks, etc.) to help
debugging.
Add 'softlockup_sys_info' and 'hardlockup_sys_info' sysctl knobs to take
human readable string like "tasks,mem,timers,locks,ftrace,...", and when
system lockup happens, all requested information will be printed out.
(refer kernel/sys_info.c for more details).

Patch series "Enable hung_task and lockup cases to dump system info on
demand", v2.
When working on kernel stability issues: panic, task-hung and soft/hard
lockup are frequently met. And to debug them, user may need lots of
system information at that time, like task call stacks, lock info, memory
info, ftrace dump, etc.
panic case already uses sys_info() for this purpose, and has a
'panic_sys_info' sysctl(also support cmdline setup) interface to take
human readable string like "tasks,mem,timers,locks,ftrace,..." to control
what kinds of information is needed. Which is also helpful to debug
task-hung and lockup cases.
So this patchset introduces the similar sys_info sysctl interface for
task-hung and lockup cases.
his is mainly for debugging and the info dumping could be intrusive, like
dumping call stack for all tasks when system has huge number of tasks,
similarly for ftrace dump (we may add tracing_stop() and tracing_start()
around it)
Locally these have been used in our bug chasing for stability issues and
were helpful.
As Andrew suggested, add a configurable global 'kernel_sys_info' knob.
When error scenarios like panic/hung-task/lockup etc doesn't setup their
own sys_info knob and calls sys_info() with parameter "0", this global
knob will take effect. It could be used for other kernel cases like OOM,
which may not need one dedicated sys_info knob.
This patch (of 4):
Some sys_info names wered forgotten to change in patch iterations, while
the right names are defined in kernel/sys_info.c.

Enhance visibility into dm-verity Forward Error Correction (FEC)
activity. While FEC can correct on-disk corruptions, the number of
successful correction events is not readily exposed through a standard
interface.
This change integrates FEC statistics into the verity target's
.status handler for STATUSTYPE_INFO. The info output now
includes count of corrected block by FEC.
The counter is a per-device instance atomic64_t, maintained within
the struct dm_verity_fec, tracking blocks successfully repaired by FEC
on this specific device instance since it was created.
This approach aligns with the standard Device Mapper mechanism for
targets to report runtime information, as used by other targets like
dm-integrity.
This patch also updates Documentation/admin-guide/device-mapper/verity.rst
to reflect the new status information.
Tested:
Induced single-bit errors on a block device protected by dm-verity
with FEC on android phone. Confirmed 'dmctl status <device>' on Android
reports an incrementing 'fec_corrected_blocks' count after the
corrupted blocks were accessed.

no_slb_preload cmdline can come useful in quickly disabling and/or
testing the performance impact of userspace slb preloads. Recently there
was a slb multi-hit issue due to slb preload cache which was very
difficult to triage. This cmdline option allows to quickly disable
preloads and verify if the issue exists in preload cache or somewhere
else. This can also be a useful option to see the effect of slb preloads
for any application workload e.g. number of slb faults with or w/o slb
preloads.

slb_faults (minimal initrd boot): 15
slb_faults (full systemd boot): 300

Patch series "mm/swapfile.c: select swap devices of default priority round
robin", v5.
Currently, on system with multiple swap devices, swap allocation will
select one swap device according to priority. The swap device with the
highest priority will be chosen to allocate firstly.
People can specify a priority from 0 to 32767 when swapon a swap device,
or the system will set it from -2 then downwards by default. Meanwhile,
on NUMA system, the swap device with node_id will be considered first on
that NUMA node of the node_id.
In the current code, an array of plist, swap_avail_heads[nid], is used to
organize swap devices on each NUMA node. For each NUMA node, there is a
plist organizing all swap devices. The 'prio' value in the plist is the
negated value of the device's priority due to plist being sorted from low
to high. The swap device owning one node_id will be promoted to the front
position on that NUMA node, then other swap devices are put in order of
their default priority.
E.g I got a system with 8 NUMA nodes, and I setup 4 zram partition as
swap devices.
Current behaviour:
their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped):
NAME TYPE SIZE USED PRIO
/dev/zram0 partition 16G 0B -2
/dev/zram1 partition 16G 0B -3
/dev/zram2 partition 16G 0B -4
/dev/zram3 partition 16G 0B -5
And their positions in the 8 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be:
swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */
zram0 -> zram1 -> zram2 -> zram3
prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */
zram1 -> zram0 -> zram2 -> zram3
prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */
zram2 -> zram0 -> zram1 -> zram3
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */
zram3 -> zram0 -> zram1 -> zram2
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
swap_avail_lists[4-7]: /* node 4,5,6,7's available swap device list */
zram0 -> zram1 -> zram2 -> zram3
prio:2 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5
The adjustment for swap device with node_id intended to decrease the
pressure of lock contention for one swap device by taking different swap
device on different node. The adjustment was introduced in commit
a2468cc9bfdf ("swap: choose swap device according to numa node").
However, the adjustment is a little coarse-grained. On the node, the swap
device sharing the node's id will always be selected firstly by node's
CPUs until exhausted, then next one. And on other nodes where no swap
device shares its node id, swap device with priority '-2' will be selected
firstly until exhausted, then next with priority '-3'.
This is the swapon output during the process high pressure vm-scability
test is being taken. It's clearly showing zram0 is heavily exploited
until exhausted.
===================================
[root@hp-dl385g10-03 ~]# swapon
NAME TYPE SIZE USED PRIO
/dev/zram0 partition 16G 15.7G -2
/dev/zram1 partition 16G 3.4G -3
/dev/zram2 partition 16G 3.4G -4
/dev/zram3 partition 16G 2.6G -5
The node based strategy on selecting swap device is much better then the
old way one by one selecting swap device. However it is still
unreasonable because swap devices are assumed to have similar accessing
speed if no priority is specified when swapon. It's unfair and doesn't
make sense just because one swap device is swapped on firstly, its
priority will be higher than the one swapped on later.
So in this patchset, change is made to select the swap device round robin
if default priority. In code, the plist array swap_avail_heads[nid] is
replaced with a plist swap_avail_head which reverts commit a2468cc9bfdf.
Meanwhile, on top of the revert, further change is taken to make any
device w/o specified priority get the same default priority '-1'. Surely,
swap device with specified priority are always put foremost, this is not
impacted. If you care about their different accessing speed, then use
'swapon -p xx' to deploy priority for your swap devices.
New behaviour:
swap_avail_list: /* one global available swap device list */
zram0 -> zram1 -> zram2 -> zram3
prio:1 prio:1 prio:1 prio:1
This is the swapon output during the process high pressure vm-scability
being taken, all is selected round robin:
=======================================
[root@hp-dl385g10-03 linux]# swapon
NAME TYPE SIZE USED PRIO
/dev/zram0 partition 16G 12.6G -1
/dev/zram1 partition 16G 12.6G -1
/dev/zram2 partition 16G 12.6G -1
/dev/zram3 partition 16G 12.6G -1
With the change, we can see about 18% efficiency promotion as below:
vm-scability test:
==================
Test with:
usemem --init-time -O -y -x -n 31 2G (4G memcg, zram as swap)
Before: After:
System time: 637.92 s 526.74 s (lower is better)
Sum Throughput: 3546.56 MB/s 4207.56 MB/s (higher is better)
Single process Throughput: 114.40 MB/s 135.72 MB/s (higher is better)
free latency: 10138455.99 us 6810119.01 us (low is better)
This patch (of 2):
This reverts commit a2468cc9bfdf ("swap: choose swap device according to
numa node").
After this patch, the behaviour will change back to pre-commit
a2468cc9bfdf. Means the priority will be set from -1 then downwards by
default, and when swapping, it will exhault swap device one by one
according to priority from high to low. This is preparation work for
later change.

Allow to override defaults for shemem and tmpfs at config time. This is
consistent with how transparent hugepages can be configured.
Same results can be achieved with the existing
'transparent_hugepage_shmem' and 'transparent_hugepage_tmpfs' settings in
the kernel command line, but it is more convenient to define basic
settings at config time instead of changing kernel command line later.
Defaults for shmem and tmpfs were not changed. They are remained the same
as before: 'never' for both cases. Options 'deny' and 'force' are omitted
intentionally since these are special values and supposed to be used for
emergencies or testing and are not expected to be permanent ones.
Primary motivation for adding config option is to enable policy
enforcement at build time. In large-scale production environments (Meta's
for example), the kernel configuration is often maintained centrally close
to the kernel code itself and owned by the kernel engineers, while boot
parameters are managed independently (e.g. by provisioning systems). In
such setups, the kernel build defines the supported and expected behavior
in a single place, but there is no reliable or uniform control over the
kernel command line options.
A build-time default allows kernel integrators to enforce a predictable
hugepage policy for shmem/tmpfs on a base layer, ensuring reproducible
behavior and avoiding configuration drift caused by possible boot-time
differences.
In short, primary benefit is mostly operational: it provides a way to
codify preferred policy in the kernel configuration, which is versioned,
reviewed, and tested as part of the kernel build process, rather than
depending on potentially variable boot parameters.

The kernel can throttle network sockets if the memory cgroup associated
with the corresponding socket is under memory pressure. The throttling
actions include clamping the transmit window, failing to expand receive or
send buffers, aggressively prune out-of-order receive queue, FIN deferred
to a retransmitted packet and more. Let's add memcg metric to track such
throttling actions.
At the moment memcg memory pressure is defined through vmpressure and in
future it may be defined using PSI or we may add more flexible way for the
users to define memory pressure, maybe through ebpf. However the
potential throttling actions will remain the same, so this newly
introduced metric will continue to track throttling actions irrespective
of how memcg memory pressure is defined.

In practical problem diagnosis, especially during the boot phase, it is
often desirable to know the call sequence. However, currently, apart from
adding print statements and recompiling the kernel, there seems to be no
good alternative. If dynamic_debug supported printing the call stack, it
would be very helpful for diagnosing issues. This patch add support '+d'
for dump stack.

The hung_task_panic sysctl is currently a blunt instrument: it's all or
nothing.
Panicking on a single hung task can be an overreaction to a transient
glitch. A more reliable indicator of a systemic problem is when
multiple tasks hang simultaneously.
Extend hung_task_panic to accept an integer threshold, allowing the
kernel to panic only when N hung tasks are detected in a single scan.
This provides finer control to distinguish between isolated incidents
and system-wide failures.
The accepted values are:
- 0: Don't panic (unchanged)
- 1: Panic on the first hung task (unchanged)
- N > 1: Panic after N hung tasks are detected in a single scan
The original behavior is preserved for values 0 and 1, maintaining full
backward compatibility.

Commit 35c18f2933c5 ("Add a new optional ",cma" suffix to the
crashkernel= command line option") and commit ab475510e042 ("kdump:
implement reserve_crashkernel_cma") added CMA support for kdump
crashkernel reservation.
Extend crashkernel CMA reservation support to powerpc.
The following changes are made to enable CMA reservation on powerpc:
- Parse and obtain the CMA reservation size along with other crashkernel
parameters
- Call reserve_crashkernel_cma() to allocate the CMA region for kdump
- Include the CMA-reserved ranges in the usable memory ranges for the
kdump kernel to use.
- Exclude the CMA-reserved ranges from the crash kernel memory to
prevent them from being exported through /proc/vmcore.
With the introduction of the CMA crashkernel regions,
crash_exclude_mem_range() needs to be called multiple times to exclude
both crashk_res and crashk_cma_ranges from the crash memory ranges. To
avoid repetitive logic for validating mem_ranges size and handling
reallocation when required, this functionality is moved to a new wrapper
function crash_exclude_mem_range_guarded().
To ensure proper CMA reservation, reserve_crashkernel_cma() is called
after pageblock_order is initialized.
Update kernel-parameters.txt to document CMA support for crashkernel on
powerpc architecture.

Previously, raid array used the maximum logical block size (LBS)
of all member disks. Adding a larger LBS disk at runtime could
unexpectedly increase RAID's LBS, risking corruption of existing
partitions. This can be reproduced by:
```
# LBS of sd[de] is 512 bytes, sdf is 4096 bytes.
mdadm -CRq /dev/md0 -l1 -n3 /dev/sd[de] missing --assume-clean
# LBS is 512
cat /sys/block/md0/queue/logical_block_size
# create partition md0p1
parted -s /dev/md0 mklabel gpt mkpart primary 1MiB 100%
lsblk | grep md0p1
# LBS becomes 4096 after adding sdf
mdadm --add -q /dev/md0 /dev/sdf
cat /sys/block/md0/queue/logical_block_size
# partition lost
partprobe /dev/md0
lsblk | grep md0p1
```
Simply restricting larger-LBS disks is inflexible. In some scenarios,
only disks with 512 bytes LBS are available currently, but later, disks
with 4KB LBS may be added to the array.
Making LBS configurable is the best way to solve this scenario.
After this patch, the raid will:
- store LBS in disk metadata
- add a read-write sysfs 'mdX/logical_block_size'
Future mdadm should support setting LBS via metadata field during RAID
creation and the new sysfs. Though the kernel allows runtime LBS changes,
users should avoid modifying it after creating partitions or filesystems
to prevent compatibility issues.
Only 1.x metadata supports configurable LBS. 0.90 metadata inits all
fields to default values at auto-detect. Supporting 0.90 would require
more extensive changes and no such use case has been observed.
Note that many RAID paths rely on PAGE_SIZE alignment, including for
metadata I/O. A larger LBS than PAGE_SIZE will result in metadata
read/write failures. So this config should be prevented.

The number of compression/decompression threads has a direct impact on
hibernate image generation and resume latency. Using more threads can
reduce overall resume time, but on systems with fewer CPU cores it may
also introduce contention and reduce efficiency.
Performance was evaluated on an 8-core ARM system, averaged over 10 runs:
Threads Hibernate(s) Resume(s)
--------------------------------
3 12.14 18.86
4 12.28 17.48
5 11.09 16.77
6 11.08 16.44
With 5–6 threads, resume latency improves by approximately 12% compared
to the default 3-thread configuration, with negligible impact on
hibernate time.
Introduce a new kernel parameter `hibernate_compression_threads=` that
allows users and integrators to tune the number of
compression/decompression threads at boot. This provides a way to
balance performance and CPU utilization across a wide range of hardware
without recompiling the kernel.

Fix reST warnings in
Documentation/admin-guide/pm/intel_pstate.rst caused by missing explicit
hyperlink labels for section titles.
Before this change, the following errors were printed during
`make htmldocs`:
Documentation/admin-guide/pm/intel_pstate.rst:401:
ERROR: Indirect hyperlink target (id="id6") refers to target
"passive mode", which is a duplicate, and cannot be used as a
unique reference.
Documentation/admin-guide/pm/intel_pstate.rst:517:
ERROR: Indirect hyperlink target (id="id9") refers to target
"active mode", which is a duplicate, and cannot be used as a
unique reference.
Documentation/admin-guide/pm/intel_pstate.rst:611:
ERROR: Indirect hyperlink target (id="id15") refers to target
"global attributes", which is a duplicate, and cannot be used as
a unique reference.
ERROR: Duplicate target name, cannot be used as a unique reference:
"passive mode", "active mode", "global attributes".
These errors occurred because the sections "Active Mode",
"Active Mode With HWP", "Passive Mode", and "Global Attributes"
did not define explicit hyperlink labels. As a result, Sphinx
auto-generated duplicate anchors when the same titles appeared
multiple times within the document.
Because of this, the generated HTML documentation contained
broken references such as:
`active mode <Active Mode_>`_
`passive mode <Passive Mode_>`_
`global attributes <Global Attributes_>`_
This patch adds explicit hyperlink labels for the affected sections,
ensuring all references are unique and correctly resolved.
After applying this patch, `make htmldocs` completes without
any warnings, and all hyperlinks in intel_pstate.html render properly.

If a socket has sk->sk_bypass_prot_mem flagged, the socket opts out
of the global protocol memory accounting.
Let's control the flag by a new sysctl knob.
The flag is written once during socket(2) and is inherited to child
sockets.
Tested with a script that creates local socket pairs and send()s a
