tracing: Add warnings for unused tracepoints for modules
If a modules has TRACE_EVENT() but does not use it, add a warning about it at build time. Currently, the build must be made by adding "UT=1" to the make command line in order for this to trigger.

tracing: Allow tracepoint-update.c to work with modules
In order for tracepoint-update.c to work with modules, it cannot error out if both "__tracepoint_check" and "__tracepoints_strings" are not found. When enabled, the vmlinux.o may be required to have both, but modules only have these sections if they have tracepoints. Modules without tracepoints will not have either. They should not fail to build because of that. If one section exists the other one should too. Note, if a module defines a tracepoint but doesn't use any, it can cause this to fail. Add a new "--module" parameter to tracepoint-update to be used when running on module code. It will not error out if this is set and both sections are missing. If this is set, and only the "__tracepoint_check" section is missing, it means the module has defined tracepoints but none of them are used. In that case, it prints a warning that the module has only unused tracepoints and exits normally to not fail the build. If the "__tracepoint_check" section exists but not the "__tracepoint_strings", then that is an error and should fail the build.

tracing: Add a tracepoint verification check at build time
If a tracepoint is defined via DECLARE_TRACE() or TRACE_EVENT() but never called (via the trace_<tracepoint>() function), its metadata is still around in memory and not discarded. When created via TRACE_EVENT() the situation is worse because the TRACE_EVENT() creates metadata that can be around 5k per trace event. Having unused trace events causes several thousand of wasted bytes. Add a verifier that injects a string of the name of the tracepoint it calls that is added to the discarded section "__tracepoint_check". For every builtin tracepoint, its name (which is saved in the in-memory section "__tracepoint_strings") will have its name also in the "__tracepoint_check" section if it is used. Add a new program that is run on build called tracepoint-update. This is executed on the vmlinux.o before the __tracepoint_check section is discarded (the section is discarded before vmlinux is created). This program will create an array of each string in the __tracepoint_check section and then sort it. Then it will walk the strings in the __tracepoint_strings section and do a binary search to check if its name is in the __tracepoint_check section. If it is not, then it is unused and a warning is printed. Note, this currently only handles tracepoints that are builtin and not in modules. Enabling this currently with a given config produces: warning: tracepoint 'sched_move_numa' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'sched_stick_numa' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'sched_swap_numa' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'pelt_hw_tp' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'pelt_irq_tp' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'rcu_preempt_task' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'rcu_unlock_preempted_task' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'xdp_bulk_tx' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'xdp_redirect_map' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'xdp_redirect_map_err' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'vma_mas_szero' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'vma_store' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'hugepage_set_pmd' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'hugepage_set_pud' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'hugepage_update_pmd' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'hugepage_update_pud' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'block_rq_remap' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'xhci_dbc_handle_event' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'xhci_dbc_handle_transfer' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'xhci_dbc_gadget_ep_queue' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'xhci_dbc_alloc_request' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'xhci_dbc_free_request' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'xhci_dbc_queue_request' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'xhci_dbc_giveback_request' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'tcp_ao_wrong_maclen' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'tcp_ao_mismatch' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'tcp_ao_key_not_found' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'tcp_ao_rnext_request' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'tcp_ao_synack_no_key' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'tcp_ao_snd_sne_update' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'tcp_ao_rcv_sne_update' is unused. Some of the above is totally unused but others are not used due to their "trace_" functions being inside configs, in which case, the defined tracepoints should also be inside those same configs. Others are architecture specific but defined in generic code, where they should either be moved to the architecture or be surrounded by #ifdef for the architectures they are for. This tool could be updated to process modules in the future. I'd like to thank Mathieu Desnoyers for suggesting using strings instead of pointers, as using pointers in vmlinux.o required handling relocations and it required implementing almost a full feature linker to do so. To enable this check, run the build with: make UT=1 Note, when all the existing unused tracepoints are removed from the build, the "UT=1" will be removed and this will always be enabled when tracepoints are configured to warn on any new tracepoints. The reason this isn't always enabled now is because it will introduce a lot of warnings for the current unused tracepoints, and all bisects would end at this commit for those warnings.

atomic: Skip alignment check for try_cmpxchg() old arg
The 'old' argument in atomic_try_cmpxchg() and related functions is a
pointer to a normal non-atomic integer number, which does not require
to be naturally aligned, unlike the atomic_t/atomic64_t types themselves.
In order to add an alignment check with CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC into the
normal instrument_atomic_read_write() helper, change this check to use
the non-atomic instrument_read_write(), the same way that was done
earlier for try_cmpxchg() in commit

Merge branch 'build-script' into docs-mw
Quoth Mauro:
This series should probably be called:
"Move the trick-or-treat build hacks accumulated over time
into a single place and document them."
as this reflects its main goal. As such:
- it places the jobserver logic on a library;
- it removes sphinx/parallel-wrapper.sh;
- the code now properly implements a jobserver-aware logic
to do the parallelism when called via GNU make, failing back to
"-j" when there's no jobserver;
- converts check-variable-fonts.sh to Python and uses it via
function call;
- drops an extra script to generate man pages, adding a makefile
target for it;
- ensures that return code is 0 when PDF successfully builds;
- about half of the script is comments and documentation.
I tried to do my best to document all tricks that are inside the
script. This way, the docs build steps is now documented.
It should be noticed that it is out of the scope of this series
to change the implementation. Surely the process can be improved,
but first let's consolidate and document everything on a single
place.
Such script was written in a way that it can be called either
directly or via a Makefile. Running outside Makefile is
interesting specially when debug is needed. The command line
interface replaces the need of having lots of env vars before
calling sphinx-build:
$ ./tools/docs/sphinx-build-wrapper --help
usage: sphinx-build-wrapper [-h]
[--sphinxdirs SPHINXDIRS [SPHINXDIRS ...]] [--conf CONF]
[--builddir BUILDDIR] [--theme THEME] [--css CSS] [--paper {,a4,letter}] [-v]
[-j JOBS] [-i] [-V [VENV]]
{cleandocs,linkcheckdocs,htmldocs,epubdocs,texinfodocs,infodocs,mandocs,latexdocs,pdfdocs,xmldocs}
Kernel documentation builder
positional arguments:
{cleandocs,linkcheckdocs,htmldocs,epubdocs,texinfodocs,infodocs,mandocs,latexdocs,pdfdocs,xmldocs}
Documentation target to build
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--sphinxdirs SPHINXDIRS [SPHINXDIRS ...]
Specific directories to build
--conf CONF Sphinx configuration file
--builddir BUILDDIR Sphinx configuration file
--theme THEME Sphinx theme to use
--css CSS Custom CSS file for HTML/EPUB
--paper {,a4,letter} Paper size for LaTeX/PDF output
-v, --verbose place build in verbose mode
-j, --jobs JOBS Sets number of jobs to use with sphinx-build
-i, --interactive Change latex default to run in interactive mode
-V, --venv [VENV] If used, run Sphinx from a venv dir (default dir: sphinx_latest)
the only mandatory argument is the target, which is identical with
"make" targets.
The call inside Makefile doesn't use the last four arguments. They're
there to help identifying problems at the build:
-v makes the output verbose;
-j helps to test parallelism;
-i runs latexmk in interactive mode, allowing to debug PDF
build issues;
-V is useful when testing it with different venvs.
When used with GNU make (or some other make which implements jobserver),
a call like:
make -j <targets> htmldocs
will make the wrapper to automatically use POSIX jobserver to claim
the number of available job slots, calling sphinx-build with a
"-j" parameter reflecting it. ON such case, the default can be
overriden via SPHINXDIRS argument.
Visiable changes when compared with the old behavior:
When V=0, the only visible difference is that:
- pdfdocs target now returns 0 on success, 1 on failures.
This addresses an issue over the current process where we
it always return success even on failures;
- it will now print the name of PDF files that failed to build,
if any.
In verbose mode, sphinx-build-wrapper and sphinx-build command lines
are now displayed.

livepatch/klp-build: Add --show-first-changed option to show function divergence
Add a --show-first-changed option to identify where changed functions
begin to diverge:
- Parse 'objtool klp diff' output to find changed functions.
- Run objtool again on each object with --debug-checksum=<funcs>.
- Diff the per-instruction checksum debug output to locate the first
differing instruction.
This can be useful for quickly determining where and why a function
changed.

livepatch/klp-build: Introduce klp-build script for generating livepatch modules
Add a klp-build script which automates the generation of a livepatch
module from a source .patch file by performing the following steps:
- Builds an original kernel with -function-sections and
-fdata-sections, plus objtool function checksumming.
- Applies the .patch file and rebuilds the kernel using the same
options.
- Runs 'objtool klp diff' to detect changed functions and generate
intermediate binary diff objects.
- Builds a kernel module which links the diff objects with some
livepatch module init code (scripts/livepatch/init.c).
- Finalizes the livepatch module (aka work around linker wreckage)
using 'objtool klp post-link'.

livepatch/klp-build: Introduce fix-patch-lines script to avoid __LINE__ diff noise
The __LINE__ macro creates challenges for binary diffing. When a .patch file adds or removes lines, it shifts the line numbers for all code below it. This can cause the code generation of functions using __LINE__ to change due to the line number constant being embedded in a MOV instruction, despite there being no semantic difference. Avoid such false positives by adding a fix-patch-lines script which can be used to insert a #line directive in each patch hunk affecting the line numbering. This script will be used by klp-build, which will be introduced in a subsequent patch.

kbuild,objtool: Defer objtool validation step for CONFIG_KLP_BUILD
In preparation for klp-build, defer objtool validation for CONFIG_KLP_BUILD kernels until the final pre-link archive (e.g., vmlinux.o, module-foo.o) is built. This will simplify the process of generating livepatch modules. Delayed objtool is generally preferred anyway, and is already standard for IBT and LTO.

objtool/klp: Introduce klp diff subcommand for diffing object files
Add a new klp diff subcommand which performs a binary diff between two
object files and extracts changed functions into a new object which can
then be linked into a livepatch module.
This builds on concepts from the longstanding out-of-tree kpatch [1]
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'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
(coming in a later patch) which injects #line directives into the
source .patch to preserve the original line numbers at compile time.
Note the end result of this subcommand is not yet functionally complete.
Livepatch needs some ELF magic which linkers don't like:
- Two relocation sections (.rela*, .klp.rela*) for the same text
section.
- Use of SHN_LIVEPATCH to mark livepatch symbols.
Unfortunately linkers tend to mangle such things. To work around that,
klp diff generates a linker-compliant intermediate binary which encodes
the relevant KLP section/reloc/symbol metadata.
After module linking, a klp post-link step (coming soon) will clean up
the mess and convert the linked .ko into a fully compliant livepatch
module.
Note this subcommand requires the diffed binaries to have been compiled
with -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections, and processed with
'objtool --checksum'. Those constraints will be handled by a klp-build
script introduced in a later patch.
Without '-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections', reliable object diffing
would be infeasible due to toolchain limitations:
- For intra-file+intra-section references, the compiler might
occasionally generated hard-coded instruction offsets instead of
relocations.
- Section-symbol-based references can be ambiguous:
- Overlapping or zero-length symbols create ambiguity as to which
symbol is being referenced.
- A reference to the end of a symbol (e.g., checking array bounds)
can be misinterpreted as a reference to the next symbol, or vice
versa.
A potential future alternative to '-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections'
would be to introduce a toolchain option that forces symbol-based
(non-section) relocations.

vmlinux.lds: Unify TEXT_MAIN, DATA_MAIN, and related macros
TEXT_MAIN, DATA_MAIN and friends are defined differently depending on whether certain config options enable -ffunction-sections and/or -fdata-sections. There's no technical reason for that beyond voodoo coding. Keeping the separate implementations adds unnecessary complexity, fragments the logic, and increases the risk of subtle bugs. Unify the macros by using the same input section patterns across all configs. This is a prerequisite for the upcoming livepatch klp-build tooling which will manually enable -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections via KCFLAGS.

scripts/faddr2line: Fix "Argument list too long" error
The run_readelf() function reads the entire output of readelf into a
single shell variable. For large object files with extensive debug
information, the size of this variable can exceed the system's
command-line argument length limit.
When this variable is subsequently passed to sed via `echo "${out}"`, it
triggers an "Argument list too long" error, causing the script to fail.
Fix this by redirecting the output of readelf to a temporary file
instead of a variable. The sed commands are then modified to read from
this file, avoiding the argument length limitation entirely.

Prior to binutils commit c12d9fa2afe ("Support objcopy

kconfig: Avoid prompting for transitional symbols
The "transitional" symbol keyword, while working with the "olddefconfig"
target, was prompting during "oldconfig". This occurred because these
symbols were not being marked as user-defined when they received values
from transitional symbols that had user values. The "olddefconfig" target
explicitly doesn't prompt for anything, so this deficiency wasn't noticed.
The issue manifested when a symbol's value came from a transitional
symbol's user value but the receiving symbol wasn't marked with
SYMBOL_DEF_USER. Thus the "oldconfig" logic would then prompt for these
symbols unnecessarily.
Check after value calculation whether a symbol without a user value
gets its value from a single transitional symbol that does have a user
value. In such cases, mark the receiving symbol as user-defined to
prevent prompting.
Update regression tests to verify that symbols with transitional defaults
are not prompted in "oldconfig", except when conditional defaults evaluate
to 'no' and should legitimately be prompted.
Build tested with "make testconfig".

It has been a relatively busy cycle in docsland, with changes all over:
- Bring the kernel memory-model docs into the Sphinx build in the "literal
include" mode.
- Lots of build-infrastructure work, further cleaning up long-term
kernel-doc technical debt. The sphinx-pre-install tool has been
converted to Python and updated for current systems.
- A new tool to detect when documents have been moved and generate HTML
redirects; this can be used on kernel.org (or any other site hosting the
rendered docs) to avoid breaking links.
- Automated processing of the YAML files describing the netlink protocol.
- A significant update of the maintainer's PGP guide.
...and a seemingly endless series of typo fixes, build-problem fixes, etc.

It is felt that a read-only mode KASAN is suitable for use in production systems rather than debug-only. - The 3 patch series "mm: hugetlb: cleanup hugetlb folio allocation" from Kefeng Wang does some tidying in the hugetlb folio allocation code. - The 12 patch series "mm: establish const-correctness for pointer parameters" from Max Kellermann makes quite a number of the MM API functions more accurate about the constness of their arguments. This was getting in the way of subsystems (in this case CEPH) when they attempt to improving their own const/non-const accuracy. - The 7 patch series "Cleanup free_pages() misuse" from Vishal Moola fixes a number of code sites which were confused over when to use free_pages() vs __free_pages(). - The 3 patch series "Add Rust abstraction for Maple Trees" from Alice Ryhl makes the mapletree code accessible to Rust.

This patchset itself yields a 5-20% performance benefit in some situations. - The 3 patch series "Some ptdesc cleanups" from Matthew Wilcox utilizes the new memdesc layer to clean up the ptdesc code a little. - The 3 patch series "Fix va_high_addr_switch.sh test failure" from Chunyu Hu fixes some issues in our 5-level pagetable selftesting code. - The 2 patch series "Minor fixes for memory allocation profiling" from Suren Baghdasaryan addresses a couple of minor issues in relatively new memory allocation profiling feature. - The 3 patch series "Small cleanups" from Matthew Wilcox has a few cleanups in preparation for more memdesc work. - The 2 patch series "mm/damon: add addr_unit for DAMON_LRU_SORT and DAMON_RECLAIM" from Quanmin Yan makes some changes to DAMON in furtherance of supporting arm highmem. - The 2 patch series "selftests/mm: Add -Wunreachable-code and fix warnings" from Muhammad Anjum adds that compiler check to selftests code and fixes the fallout, by removing dead code. - The 10 patch series "Improvements to Victim Process Thawing and OOM Reaper Traversal Order" from zhongjinji makes a number of improvements in the OOM killer: mainly thawing a more appropriate group of victim threads so they can release resources. - The 5 patch series "mm/damon: misc fixups and improvements for 6.18" from SeongJae Park is a bunch of small and unrelated fixups for DAMON. - The 7 patch series "mm/damon: define and use DAMON initialization check function" from SeongJae Park implement reliability and maintainability improvements to a recently-added bug fix. - The 2 patch series "mm/damon/stat: expose auto-tuned intervals and non-idle ages" from SeongJae Park provides additional transparency to userspace clients of the DAMON_STAT information. - The 2 patch series "Expand scope of khugepaged anonymous collapse" from Dev Jain removes some constraints on khubepaged's collapsing of anon VMAs. It also increases the success rate of MADV_COLLAPSE against an anon vma. - The 2 patch series "mm: do not assume file == vma->vm_file in compat_vma_mmap_prepare()" from Lorenzo Stoakes moves us further towards removal of file_operations.mmap(). This patchset concentrates upon clearing up the treatment of stacked filesystems. - The 6 patch series "mm: Improve mlock tracking for large folios" from Kiryl Shutsemau provides some fixes and improvements to mlock's tracking of large folios. /proc/meminfo's "Mlocked" field became more accurate. - The 2 patch series "mm/ksm: Fix incorrect accounting of KSM counters during fork" from Donet Tom fixes several user-visible KSM stats inaccuracies across forks and adds selftest code to verify these counters. - The 2 patch series "mm_slot: fix the usage of mm_slot_entry" from Wei Yang addresses some potential but presently benign issues in KSM's mm_slot handling. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEABYKAB0WIQTTMBEPP41GrTpTJgfdBJ7gKXxAjgUCaN3cywAKCRDdBJ7gKXxA jtaPAQDmIuIu7+XnVUK5V11hsQ/5QtsUeLHV3OsAn4yW5/3dEQD/UddRU08ePN+1 2VRB0EwkLAdfMWW7TfiNZ+yhuoiL/AA= =4mhY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'mm-stable-2025-10-01-19-00' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - "mm, swap: improve cluster scan strategy" from Kairui Song improves performance and reduces the failure rate of swap cluster allocation - "support large align and nid in Rust allocators" from Vitaly Wool permits Rust allocators to set NUMA node and large alignment when perforning slub and vmalloc reallocs - "mm/damon/vaddr: support stat-purpose DAMOS" from Yueyang Pan extend DAMOS_STAT's handling of the DAMON operations sets for virtual address spaces for ops-level DAMOS filters - "execute PROCMAP_QUERY ioctl under per-vma lock" from Suren Baghdasaryan reduces mmap_lock contention during reads of /proc/pid/maps - "mm/mincore: minor clean up for swap cache checking" from Kairui Song performs some cleanup in the swap code - "mm: vm_normal_page*() improvements" from David Hildenbrand provides code cleanup in the pagemap code - "add persistent huge zero folio support" from Pankaj Raghav provides a block layer speedup by optionalls making the huge_zero_pagepersistent, instead of releasing it when its refcount falls to zero - "kho: fixes and cleanups" from Mike Rapoport adds a few touchups to the recently added Kexec Handover feature - "mm: make mm->flags a bitmap and 64-bit on all arches" from Lorenzo Stoakes turns mm_struct.flags into a bitmap.

Networking changes for 6.18.
Core & protocols
----------------
- Improve drop account scalability on NUMA hosts for RAW and UDP sockets
and the backlog, almost doubling the Pps capacity under DoS.
- Optimize the UDP RX performance under stress, reducing contention,
revisiting the binary layout of the involved data structs and
implementing NUMA-aware locking. This improves UDP RX performance by
an additional 50%, even more under extreme conditions.
- Add support for PSP encryption of TCP connections; this mechanism has
some similarities with IPsec and TLS, but offers superior HW offloads
capabilities.
- Ongoing work to support Accurate ECN for TCP. AccECN allows more than
one congestion notification signal per RTT and is a building block for
Low Latency, Low Loss, and Scalable Throughput (L4S).
- Reorganize the TCP socket binary layout for data locality, reducing
the number of touched cachelines in the fastpath.
- Refactor skb deferral free to better scale on large multi-NUMA hosts,
this improves TCP and UDP RX performances significantly on such HW.
- Increase the default socket memory buffer limits from 256K to 4M to
better fit modern link speeds.
- Improve handling of setups with a large number of nexthop, making dump
operating scaling linearly and avoiding unneeded synchronize_rcu() on
delete.
- Improve bridge handling of VLAN FDB, storing a single entry per bridge
instead of one entry per port; this makes the dump order of magnitude
faster on large switches.
- Restore IP ID correctly for encapsulated packets at GSO segmentation
time, allowing GRO to merge packets in more scenarios.
- Improve netfilter matching performance on large sets.
- Improve MPTCP receive path performance by leveraging recently
introduced core infrastructure (skb deferral free) and adopting recent
TCP autotuning changes.
- Allow bridges to redirect to a backup port when the bridge port is
administratively down.
- Introduce MPTCP 'laminar' endpoint that con be used only once per
connection and simplify common MPTCP setups.
- Add RCU safety to dst->dev, closing a lot of possible races.
- A significant crypto library API for SCTP, MPTCP and IPv6 SR, reducing
code duplication.
- Supports pulling data from an skb frag into the linear area of an XDP
buffer.
Things we sprinkled into general kernel code
--------------------------------------------
- Generate netlink documentation from YAML using an integrated
YAML parser.
Driver API
----------
- Support using IPv6 Flow Label in Rx hash computation and RSS queue
selection.
- Introduce API for fetching the DMA device for a given queue, allowing
TCP zerocopy RX on more H/W setups.
- Make XDP helpers compatible with unreadable memory, allowing more
easily building DevMem-enabled drivers with a unified XDP/skbs
datapath.
- Add a new dedicated ethtool callback enabling drivers to provide the
number of RX rings directly, improving efficiency and clarity in RX
ring queries and RSS configuration.
- Introduce a burst period for the health reporter, allowing better
handling of multiple errors due to the same root cause.
- Support for DPLL phase offset exponential moving average, controlling
the average smoothing factor.

Rust changes for v6.18
Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Derive 'Zeroable' for all structs and unions generated by 'bindgen'
where possible and corresponding cleanups. To do so, add the
'pin-init' crate as a dependency to 'bindings' and 'uapi'.
It also includes its first use in the 'cpufreq' module, with more to
come in the next cycle.
- Add warning to the 'rustdoc' target to detect broken 'srctree/' links
and fix existing cases.
- Remove support for unused (since v6.16) host '#[test]'s, simplifying
the 'rusttest' target. Tests should generally run within KUnit.
'kernel' crate:
- Add 'ptr' module with a new 'Alignment' type, which is always a power
of two and is used to validate that a given value is a valid
alignment and to perform masking and alignment operations:
// Checked at build time.
assert_eq!(Alignment:🆕:<16>().as_usize(), 16);
// Checked at runtime.
assert_eq!(Alignment::new_checked(15), None);
assert_eq!(Alignment::of::<u8>().log2(), 0);
assert_eq!(0x25u8.align_down(Alignment:🆕:<0x10>()), 0x20);
assert_eq!(0x5u8.align_up(Alignment:🆕:<0x10>()), Some(0x10));
assert_eq!(u8::MAX.align_up(Alignment:🆕:<0x10>()), None);
It also includes its first use in Nova.
- Add 'core::mem::{align,size}_of{,_val}' to the prelude, matching
Rust 1.80.0.
- Keep going with the steps on our migration to the standard library
'core::ffi::CStr' type (use 'kernel::{fmt, prelude::fmt!}' and use
upstream method names).
- 'error' module: improve 'Error::from_errno' and 'to_result'
documentation, including examples/tests.
- 'sync' module: extend 'aref' submodule documentation now that it
exists, and more updates to complete the ongoing move of 'ARef' and
'AlwaysRefCounted' to 'sync::aref'.
- 'list' module: add an example/test for 'ListLinksSelfPtr' usage.
- 'alloc' module:
- Implement 'Box::pin_slice()', which constructs a pinned slice of
elements.
- Provide information about the minimum alignment guarantees of
'Kmalloc', 'Vmalloc' and 'KVmalloc'.
- Take minimum alignment guarantees of allocators for
'ForeignOwnable' into account.
- Remove the 'allocator_test' (including 'Cmalloc').
- Add doctest for 'Vec::as_slice()'.
- Constify various methods.
- 'time' module:
- Add methods on 'HrTimer' that can only be called with exclusive
access to an unarmed timer, or from timer callback context.
- Add arithmetic operations to 'Instant' and 'Delta'.
- Add a few convenience and access methods to 'HrTimer' and
'Instant'.
'macros' crate:
- Reduce collections in 'quote!' macro.
And a few other cleanups and improvements.

Updates for the time(rs) core subsystem:
- Address the inconsistent shutdown sequence of per CPU clockevents on
CPU hotplug, which onoly removed it from the core but failed to invoke
the actual device driver shutdown callback. This keeps the timer
active, which prevents power savings and causes pointless noise in
virtualization.
- Encapsulate the open coded access to the hrtimer clock base, which is a
private implementation detail, so that the implementation can be
changed without breaking a lot of usage sites.
- Enhance the debug output of the clocksource watchdog to provide better
information for analysis.
- The usual set of cleanups and enhancements all over the place

kconfig so CONFIG renaming can go more smoothly.
This has been a long-standing deficiency, and with the renaming of
CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI (since GCC will soon have KCFI
support), this came up again.

Crypto library updates for 6.18
- Add a RISC-V optimized implementation of Poly1305. This code was
written by Andy Polyakov and contributed by Zhihang Shao.
- Migrate the MD5 code into lib/crypto/, and add KUnit tests for MD5.
Yes, it's still the 90s, and several kernel subsystems are still using
MD5 for legacy use cases. As long as that remains the case, it's
helpful to clean it up in the same way as I've been doing for other
algorithms. Later, I plan to convert most of these users of MD5 to use
the new MD5 library API instead of the generic crypto API.
- Simplify the organization of the ChaCha, Poly1305, BLAKE2s, and
Curve25519 code. Consolidate these into one module per algorithm,
and centralize the configuration and build process. This is the same
reorganization that has already been successful for SHA-1 and SHA-2.
- Remove the unused crypto_kpp API for Curve25519.
- Migrate the BLAKE2s and Curve25519 self-tests to KUnit.
- Always enable the architecture-optimized BLAKE2s code.
Due to interdependencies between test and non-test code, both are
included in this pull request. The broken-down diffstat is as follows:
Tests: 735 insertions(+), 1917 deletions(-)
RISC-V Poly1305: 877 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
Other: 1777 insertions(+), 3117 deletions(-)
Besides the new RISC-V code which is an addition, there are quite a
few simplifications due to the improved code organization for multiple
algorithms, the removal of the unused crypto_kpp API for Curve25519
and redundant tests, and the redesign of the BLAKE2s test.

checkpatch: suppress strscpy warnings for userspace tools
The checkpatch.pl script currently warns against the use of strcpy, strlcpy, and strncpy, recommending strscpy as a safer alternative.
