kbuild: Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS

2026-03-12T11:09:39Z

commit 8678591b47469fe16357234efef9b260317b8be4 upstream. Commit 3e86e4d74c04 ("kbuild: keep .modinfo section in vmlinux.unstripped") added .modinfo to ELF_DETAILS while removing it from COMMON_DISCARDS, as it was needed in vmlinux.unstripped and ELF_DETAILS was present in all architecture specific vmlinux linker scripts. While this shuffle is fine for vmlinux, ELF_DETAILS and COMMON_DISCARDS may be used by other linker scripts, such as the s390 and x86 compressed boot images, which may not expect to have a .modinfo section. In certain circumstances, this could result in a bootloader failing to load the compressed kernel [1]. Commit ddc6cbef3ef1 ("s390/boot/vmlinux.lds.S: Ensure bzImage ends with SecureBoot trailer") recently addressed this for the s390 bzImage but the same bug remains for arm, parisc, and x86. The presence of .modinfo in the x86 bzImage was the root cause of the issue worked around with commit d50f21091358 ("kbuild: align modinfo section for Secureboot Authenticode EDK2 compat"). misc.c in arch/x86/boot/compressed includes lib/decompress_unzstd.c, which in turn includes lib/xxhash.c and its MODULE_LICENSE / MODULE_DESCRIPTION macros due to the STATIC definition. Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS into its own macro and handle it in all vmlinux linker scripts. Discard .modinfo in the places where it was previously being discarded from being in COMMON_DISCARDS, as it has never been necessary in those uses.

LoongArch: Disable instrumentation for setup_ptwalker()

2026-03-04T12:21:38Z

[ Upstream commit 7cb37af61f09c9cfd90c43c9275307c16320cbf2 ] According to Documentation/dev-tools/kasan.rst, software KASAN modes use compiler instrumentation to insert validity checks. Such instrumentation might be incompatible with some parts of the kernel, and therefore needs to be disabled, just use the attribute __no_sanitize_address to disable instrumentation for the low level function setup_ptwalker(). Otherwise bringing up the secondary CPUs failed when CONFIG_KASAN is set (especially when PTW is enabled), here are the call chains: smpboot_entry() start_secondary() cpu_probe() per_cpu_trap_init() tlb_init() setup_tlb_handler() setup_ptwalker() The reason is the PGD registers are configured in setup_ptwalker(), but KASAN instrumentation may cause TLB exceptions before that.

LoongArch: Handle percpu handler address for ORC unwinder

2026-03-04T12:21:38Z

[ Upstream commit 055c7e75190e0be43037bd663a3f6aced194416e ] After commit 4cd641a79e69 ("LoongArch: Remove unnecessary checks for ORC unwinder"), the system can not boot normally under some configs (such as enable KASAN), there are many error messages "cannot find unwind pc". The kernel boots normally with the defconfig, so no problem found out at the first time. Here is one way to reproduce: cd linux make mrproper defconfig -j"$(nproc)" scripts/config -e KASAN make olddefconfig all -j"$(nproc)" sudo make modules_install sudo make install sudo reboot The address that can not unwind is not a valid kernel address which is between "pcpu_handlers[cpu]" and "pcpu_handlers[cpu] + vec_sz" due to the code of eentry was copied to the new area of pcpu_handlers[cpu] in setup_tlb_handler(), handle this special case to get the valid address to unwind normally.

LoongArch: Use %px to print unmodified unwinding address

2026-03-04T12:21:37Z

[ Upstream commit 77403a06d845db1caf9a6b0867b43e9dd8de8e4a ] Currently, use %p to prevent leaking information about the kernel memory layout when printing the PC address, but the kernel log messages are not useful to debug problem if bt_address() returns 0. Given that the type of "pc" variable is unsigned long, it should use %px to print the unmodified unwinding address.

LoongArch: Prefer top-down allocation after arch_mem_init()

2026-03-04T12:21:37Z

[ Upstream commit 2172d6ebac9372eb01fe4505a53e18cb061e103b ] Currently we use bottom-up allocation after sparse_init(), the reason is sparse_init() need a lot of memory, and bottom-up allocation may exhaust precious low memory (below 4GB). On the other hand, SWIOTLB and CMA need low memories for DMA32, so swiotlb_init() and dma_contiguous_reserve() need bottom-up allocation. Since swiotlb_init() and dma_contiguous_reserve() are both called in arch_mem_init(), we no longer need bottom-up allocation after that. So we set the allocation policy to top-down at the end of arch_mem_init(), in order to avoid later memory allocations (such as KASAN) exhaust low memory. This solve at least two problems: 1. Some buggy BIOSes use 0xfd000000~0xfe000000 for secondary CPUs, but didn't reserve this range, which causes smpboot failures. 2. Some DMA32 devices, such as Loongson-DRM and OHCI, cannot work with KASAN enabled. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Huacai Chen Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

kallsyms/bpf: rename __bpf_address_lookup() to bpf_address_lookup()

2026-02-26T23:01:07Z

[ Upstream commit cd6735896d0343942cf3dafb48ce32eb79341990 ] bpf_address_lookup() has been used only in kallsyms_lookup_buildid(). It was supposed to set @modname and @modbuildid when the symbol was in a module. But it always just cleared @modname because BPF symbols were never in a module. And it did not clear @modbuildid because the pointer was not passed. The wrapper is no longer needed. Both @modname and @modbuildid are now always initialized to NULL in kallsyms_lookup_buildid(). Remove the wrapper and rename __bpf_address_lookup() to bpf_address_lookup() because this variant is used everywhere.

LoongArch: Rework KASAN initialization for PTW-enabled systems

2026-02-19T15:33:24Z

commit 5ec5ac4ca27e4daa234540ac32f9fc5219377d53 upstream. kasan_init_generic() indicates that kasan is fully initialized, so it should be put at end of kasan_init(). Otherwise bringing up the primary CPU failed when CONFIG_KASAN is set on PTW-enabled systems, here are the call chains: kernel_entry() start_kernel() setup_arch() kasan_init() kasan_init_generic() The reason is PTW-enabled systems have speculative accesses which means memory accesses to the shadow memory after kasan_init() may be executed by hardware before. However, accessing shadow memory is safe only after kasan fully initialized because kasan_init() uses a temporary PGD table until we have populated all levels of shadow page tables and writen the PGD register. Moving kasan_init_generic() later can defer the occasion of kasan_enabled(), so as to avoid speculative accesses on shadow pages. After moving kasan_init_generic() to the end, kasan_init() can no longer call kasan_mem_to_shadow() for shadow address conversion because it will always return kasan_early_shadow_page. On the other hand, we should keep the current logic of kasan_mem_to_shadow() for both the early and final stage because there may be instrumentation before kasan_init(). To solve this, we factor out a new mem_to_shadow() function from current kasan_mem_to_shadow() for the shadow address conversion in kasan_init().
