um: vector: Reduce stack usage in vector_eth_configure()

2025-06-25T07:28:17+00:00

When compiling with clang (19.1.7), initializing *vp using a compound
literal may result in excessive stack usage. Fix it by initializing the
required fields of *vp individually.

Without this patch:

$ objdump -d arch/um/drivers/vector_kern.o | ./scripts/checkstack.pl x86_64 0
...
0x0000000000000540 vector_eth_configure [vector_kern.o]:1472
...

With this patch:

$ objdump -d arch/um/drivers/vector_kern.o | ./scripts/checkstack.pl x86_64 0
...
0x0000000000000540 vector_eth_configure [vector_kern.o]:208

return value. OR the two return values together to fix it.

mm: pgtable: fix pte_swp_exclusive

2025-06-11T21:52:08+00:00

Make pte_swp_exclusive return bool instead of int.  This will better
reflect how pte_swp_exclusive is actually used in the code.

This fixes swap/swapoff problems on Alpha due pte_swp_exclusive not
returning correct values when _PAGE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE bit resides in upper
32-bits of PTE (like on alpha).

arch: use always-$(KBUILD_BUILTIN) for vmlinux.lds

The extra-y syntax is deprecated. Instead, use always-$(KBUILD_BUILTIN),
which behaves equivalently.

um: fix SECCOMP 32bit xstate register restore

2025-06-04T09:40:36+00:00

There was a typo that caused the extended FP state to be copied into the
wrong location on 32 bit. On 32 bit we only store the xstate internally
as that already contains everything. However, for compatibility, the
mcontext on 32 bit first contains the legacy FP state and then the
xstate.

The code copied the xstate on top of the legacy FP state instead of
using the correct offset. This offset was already calculated in the
xstate_* variables, so simply switch to those to fix the problem.

With this SECCOMP mode works on 32 bit, so lift the restriction.
