gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull NOHZ updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Fix a long standing TOCTOU in get_cpu_sleep_time_us() - Make the CPU offline NOHZ handling more robust by disabling NOHZ on the outgoing CPU early instead of creating unneeded state which needs to be undone. - Unify idle CPU time accounting instead of having two different accounting mechanisms. These two different mechanisms are not really independent, but the different properties can in the worst case cause that gloabl idle time can be observed going backwards. - Consolidate the idle/iowait time retrieval interfaces instead of converting back and forth between them. - Make idle interrupt time accounting more robust. The original code assumes that interrupt time accouting is enabled and therefore stops elapsing idle time while an interrupt is handled in NOHZ dyntick state. That assumption is not correct as interrupt time accounting can be disabled at compile and runtime. - Fix an accounting error between dyntick idle time and dyntick idle steal time. The stolen time is not accounted and therefore idle time becomes inaccurate. The stolen time is now accounted after the fact as there is no way to predict the steal time upfront. * tag 'timers-nohz-2026-06-13' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: sched/cputime: Handle dyntick-idle steal time correctly sched/cputime: Handle idle irqtime gracefully sched/cputime: Provide get_cpu_[idle|iowait]_time_us() off-case tick/sched: Consolidate idle time fetching APIs tick/sched: Account tickless idle cputime only when tick is stopped tick/sched: Remove unused fields tick/sched: Move dyntick-idle cputime accounting to cputime code tick/sched: Remove nohz disabled special case in cputime fetch tick/sched: Unify idle cputime accounting s390/time: Prepare to stop elapsing in dynticks-idle powerpc/time: Prepare to stop elapsing in dynticks-idle sched/cputime: Correctly support generic vtime idle time sched/cputime: Remove superfluous and error prone kcpustat_field() parameter sched/idle: Handle offlining first in idle loop tick/sched: Fix TOCTOU in nohz idle time fetch

gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull interrupt core updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Rework of /proc/interrupt handling: /proc/interrupts was subject to micro optimizations for a long time, but most of the low hanging fruit was left on the table. This rework addresses the major time consuming issues: - Printing a long series of zeros one by one via a format string instead of counting subsequent zeros and emitting a string constant. - Simplify and cache the conditions whether interrupts should be printed - Use a proper iteration over the interrupt descriptor xarray instead of walking and testing one by one. - Provide helper functions for the architecture code to emit the architecture specific counters - Convert the counter structure in x86 to an array, which simplifies the output and add mechanisms to suppress unused architecture interrupts, which just occupy space for nothing. Adopt the new core mechanisms. This adjusts the gdb scripts related to interrupt counter statistics to work with the new mechanisms. - Prevent a string overflow in the /proc/irq/$N/ directory name creation code. * tag 'irq-core-2026-06-13' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/irq: Add missing 's' back to thermal event printout genirq/proc: Speed up /proc/interrupts iteration genirq/proc: Runtime size the chip name genirq: Expose irq_find_desc_at_or_after() in core code genirq: Add rcuref count to struct irq_desc genirq/proc: Increase default interrupt number precision to four genirq: Calculate precision only when required genirq: Cache the condition for /proc/interrupts exposure genirq/manage: Make NMI cleanup RT safe genirq: Expose nr_irqs in core code scripts/gdb: Update x86 interrupts to the array based storage x86/irq: Move IOAPIC misrouted and PIC/APIC error counts into irq_stats x86/irq: Suppress unlikely interrupt stats by default x86/irq: Make irqstats array based genirq/proc: Utilize irq_desc::tot_count to avoid evaluation genirq/proc: Avoid formatting zero counts in /proc/interrupts x86/irq: Optimize interrupts decimals printing genirq/proc: Size interrupt directory names for 10-digit interrupt numbers

2026-05-26genirq/proc: Runtime size the chip nameThomas Gleixner
The chip name column in the /proc/interrupt output is 8 characters and right aligned, which causes visual clutter due to the fixed length and the alignment. Many interrupt chips, e.g. PCI/MSI[X] have way longer names. Update the length when a chip is assigned to an interrupt and utilize this information for the output. Align it left so all chip names start at the begin of the column. Update the GDB script as well and disentangle the header maze so it actually works with all .config combinations.

2026-05-26genirq/proc: Increase default interrupt number precision to fourThomas Gleixner
Quite some architectures have four character wide acronyms for architecture specific interrupts like IPI, NMI, etc. The default precision of printing the Linux device interrupt numbers is three, which causes quite some code to play games with adding or omitting space after the acronym and the colon in order to keep the per CPU numbers properly aligned. Increase the default number precision to four in the core code and get rid of the space games all over the place. At the same time align all architecture specific descriptor texts left so that they show up in the same column as the interrupt chip names, which makes the output more uniform accross architectures.

I can't do better than to quote Christoph: "The XOR library used for the RAID5 parity is a bit of a mess right now. The main file sits in crypto/ despite not being cryptography and not using the crypto API, with the generic implementations sitting in include/asm-generic and the arch implementations sitting in an asm/ header in theory. The latter doesn't work for many cases, so architectures often build the code directly into the core kernel, or create another module for the architecture code. Change this to a single module in lib/ that also contains the architecture optimizations, similar to the library work Eric Biggers has done for the CRC and crypto libraries later.

2025-11-20scripts/gdb/symbols: make BPF debug info available to GDBIlya Leoshkevich
One can debug BPF programs with QEMU gdbstub by setting a breakpoint on bpf_prog_kallsyms_add(), waiting for a hit with a matching aux.name, and then setting a breakpoint on bpf_func. This is tedious, error-prone, and also lacks line numbers. Automate this in a way similar to the existing support for modules in lx-symbols. Enumerate and monitor changes to both BPF kallsyms and JITed progs. For each ksym, generate and compile a synthetic .s file containing the name, code, and size. In addition, if this ksym is also a prog, and not a trampoline, add line number information. Ensure that this is a no-op if the kernel is built without BPF support or if "as" is missing. In theory the "as" dependency may be dropped by generating the synthetic .o file manually, but this is too much complexity for too little benefit. Now one can debug BPF progs out of the box like this: (gdb) lx-symbols -bpf (gdb) b bpf_prog_4e612a6a881a086b_arena_list_add Breakpoint 2 (bpf_prog_4e612a6a881a086b_arena_list_add) pending. # ./test_progs -t arena_list Thread 4 hit Breakpoint 2, bpf_prog_4e612a6a881a086b_arena_list_add () at linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/arena_list.c:51 51 list_head = &global_head; (gdb) n bpf_prog_4e612a6a881a086b_arena_list_add () at linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/arena_list.c:53 53 for (i = zero; i < cnt && can_loop; i++) { This also works for subprogs.

2025-07-10scripts/gdb/symbols: make lx-symbols skip the s390 decompressorIlya Leoshkevich
When one starts QEMU with the -S flag and attaches GDB, the kernel is not yet loaded, and the current instruction is an entry point to the decompressor. In case the intention is to debug the early kernel boot, and not the decompressor, e.g., put a breakpoint on some kernel function and see all the invocations, one has to skip the decompressor. There are many ways to do this, and so far people wrote private scripts or memorized certain command sequences. Make it work out of the box like this: $ gdb -ex 'target remote :6812' -ex 'source vmlinux-gdb.py' vmlinux Remote debugging using :6812 0x0000000000010000 in ??

2025-07-09scripts/gdb: fix interrupts.py after maple tree conversionFlorian Fainelli
In commit 721255b9826b ("genirq: Use a maple tree for interrupt descriptor management"), the irq_desc_tree was replaced with a sparse_irqs tree using a maple tree structure. Since the script looked for the irq_desc_tree symbol which is no longer available, no interrupts would be printed and the script output would not be useful anymore. In addition to looking up the correct symbol (sparse_irqs), a new module (mapletree.py) is added whose mtree_load() implementation is largely copied after the C version and uses the same variable and intermediate function names wherever possible to ensure that both the C and Python version be updated in the future. This restores the scripts' output to match that of /proc/interrupts.

2025-05-21scripts/gdb/symbols: determine KASLR offset on s390 during early bootIlya Leoshkevich
Using lx-symbols during s390 early boot fails with: Error occurred in Python: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xcb in position 0: invalid continuation byte The reason is that s390 decompressor's startup_kernel() does not create vmcoreinfo note, and sets vmcore_info to kernel's physical base. This confuses get_vmcore_s390(). Fix by handling this special case. Extract vm_layout.kaslr_offset from the kernel image in physical memory, which is placed there by the decompressor using the __bootdata_preserved mechanism, and generate a synthetic vmcoreinfo note from it.

Patch series "scripts/gdb/symbols: determine KASLR offset on s390 during early boot". I noticed that debugging s390 early boot using the support I introduced in commit 28939c3e9925 ("scripts/gdb/symbols: determine KASLR offset on s390") does not work. The reason is that decompressor does not provide the vmcoreinfo note, so KASLR offset needs to be extracted in a different way, which this series implements. Patches 1-2 are trivial refactorings, and patch 3 is the implementation. This patch (of 3): Move the code that determines the current vmlinux file into a separate function. It will be useful later in order to analyze the kernel image in physical memory during s390 early boot.

2025-05-11scripts/gdb: fix kgdb probing on single-core systemsIllia Ostapyshyn
Patch series "scripts/gdb: Fixes related to lx_per_cpu()". These patches (1) fix kgdb detection on systems featuring a single CPU and (2) update the documentation to reflect the current usage of lx_per_cpu() and update an outdated example of its usage. This patch (of 2): When requested the list of threads via qfThreadInfo, gdb_cmd_query in kernel/debug/gdbstub.c first returns "shadow" threads for CPUs followed by the actual tasks in the system. Extended qThreadExtraInfo queries yield "shadowCPU%d" as the name for the CPU core threads. This behavior is used by get_gdbserver_type() to probe for KGDB by matching the name for the thread 2 against "shadowCPU". This breaks down on single-core systems, where thread 2 is the first nonshadow thread. Request the name for thread 1 instead. As GDB assigns thread IDs in the order of their appearance, it is safe to assume shadowCPU0 at ID 1 as long as CPU0 is not hotplugged.

When loading symbols from kernel modules we used to iterate from 0 to module_sect_attrs::nsections, in order to retrieve their name and address. However module_sect_attrs::nsections has been removed from the struct by a previous commit. Re-arrange the iteration by accessing all items in module_sect_attrs::grp::bin_attrs[] until NULL is found (it's a NULL terminated array). At the same time the symbol address cannot be extracted from module_sect_attrs::attrs[]::address anymore because it has also been deleted. Fetch it from module_sect_attrs::grp::bin_attrs[]::private as described in 4b2c11e4aaf7.

2025-03-16scripts/gdb: add $lx_per_cpu_ptr()Brendan Jackman
We currently have $lx_per_cpu() which works fine for stuff that kernel code would access via per_cpu(). But this doesn't work for stuff that kernel code accesses via per_cpu_ptr(): (gdb) p $lx_per_cpu(node_data[1].node_zones[2]->per_cpu_pageset) Cannot access memory at address 0xffff11105fbd6c28 This is because we take the address of the pointer and use that as the offset, instead of using the stored value. Add a GDB version that mirrors the kernel API, which uses the pointer value. To be consistent with per_cpu_ptr(), we need to return the pointer value instead of dereferencing it for the user. Therefore, move the existing dereference out of the per_cpu() Python helper and do that only in the $lx_per_cpu() implementation.

Example output: (gdb) lx-stack_depot_lookup 0x00c80300 0xffff8000807965b4 <kmem_cache_alloc_noprof+660>: mov x20, x0 0xffff800081a077d8 <kmem_cache_oob_alloc+76>: mov x1, x0 0xffff800081a079a0 <test_version_show+100>: cbnz w0, 0xffff800081a07968 <test_version_show+44> 0xffff800082f4a3fc <kobj_attr_show+60>: ldr x19, [sp, #16] 0xffff800080a0fb34 <sysfs_kf_seq_show+460>: ldp x3, x4, [sp, #96] 0xffff800080a0a550 <kernfs_seq_show+296>: ldp x19, x20, [sp, #16] 0xffff8000808e7b40 <seq_read_iter+836>: mov w5, w0 0xffff800080a0b8ac <kernfs_fop_read_iter+804>: mov x23, x0 0xffff800080914a48 <copy_splice_read+972>: mov x6, x0 0xffff8000809151c4 <do_splice_read+348>: ldr x21, [sp, #32] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240723064902.124154-5-kuan-ying.lee@canonical.com Signed-off-by: Kuan-Ying Lee <kuan-ying.lee@canonical.com> Cc: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Cc: Kieran Bingham <kbingham@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
2024-09-01scripts/gdb: fix lx-mounts command errorKuan-Ying Lee
(gdb) lx-mounts mount super_block devname pathname fstype options Python Exception <class 'gdb.error'>: There is no member named list. Error occurred in Python: There is no member named list. We encounter the above issue after commit 2eea9ce4310d ("mounts: keep list of mounts in an rbtree"). The commit move a mount from list into rbtree. So we can instead use rbtree to iterate all mounts information.

Patch series "Fix some GDB command error and add some GDB commands", v3. Fix some GDB command errors and add some useful GDB commands. This patch (of 5): Commit 7988e5ae2be7 ("tick: Split nohz and highres features from nohz_mode") and commit 7988e5ae2be7 ("tick: Split nohz and highres features from nohz_mode") move 'tick_stopped' and 'nohz_mode' to flags field which will break the gdb lx-mounts command: (gdb) lx-timerlist Python Exception <class 'gdb.error'>: There is no member named nohz_mode. Error occurred in Python: There is no member named nohz_mode. (gdb) lx-timerlist Python Exception <class 'gdb.error'>: There is no member named tick_stopped. Error occurred in Python: There is no member named tick_stopped. We move 'tick_stopped' and 'nohz_mode' to flags field instead.
