If one of them fails to initialize, the error path unmaps the shared MMIO region, leaving the other driver with an invalid mapping on clps711x (Guangshuo Li) - Make the samsung_pwm driver compatible with PREEMPT_RT by replacing regular spinlocks with raw_spinlock_t in atomic contexts (Marek Szyprowski) - Use __raw_readl() and __raw_writel() instead of ioread32() and iowrite32() to support SWAP_IO_SPACE in the rtl-otto driver (Rustam Adilov) - Fix a missing clk_disable_unprepare() call in the timer initialization error path of the Armada driver (Yuho Choi)Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/75feea31-683d-45a1-87f4-ab045e0152ae@oss.qualcomm.com List of files: /linux/kernel/liveupdate/Kconfig

c6073743d0c7f011461bc542c9112180471affad - kho: make preserved pages compatible with deferred struct page init

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 14:25:37 +0200

kho: make preserved pages compatible with deferred struct page initWhen CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is enabled, struct pageinitialization is deferred to parallel kthreads that run laterin the boot process.During KHO restoration, kho_preserved_memory_reserve() writes metadatafor each preserved memory region. However, if the struct page has notbeen initialized, this write targets uninitialized memory, potentiallyleading to errors like:BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ...Fix this by introducing kho_get_preserved_page(), which ensuresall struct pages in a preserved region are initialized by callinginit_deferred_page() which is a no-op when the struct page is alreadyinitialized.Signed-off-by: Evangelos Petrongonas Co-developed-by: Michal Clapinski Signed-off-by: Michal Clapinski Reviewed-by: Pratyush Yadav (Google) Reviewed-by: Pasha Tatashin Reviewed-by: Mike Rapoport (Microsoft) Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260423122538.140993-3-mclapinski@google.comSigned-off-by: Mike Rapoport (Microsoft) List of files: /linux/kernel/liveupdate/Kconfig

Tue, 30 Dec 2025 17:14:02 +0100

liveupdate: separate memfd support into LIVEUPDATE_MEMFDDecouple memfd preservation support from the core Live Update Orchestratorconfiguration.Previously, enabling CONFIG_LIVEUPDATE forced a dependency on CONFIG_SHMEMand unconditionally compiled memfd_luo.o. However, Live Update may beused for purposes that do not require memfd-backed memory preservation.Introduce CONFIG_LIVEUPDATE_MEMFD to gate memfd_luo.o. This moves theSHMEM and MEMFD_CREATE dependencies to the specific feature that needsthem, allowing the base LIVEUPDATE option to be selected independently ofshared memory support.Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20251230161402.1542099-1-pasha.tatashin@soleen.comSigned-off-by: Pasha Tatashin Reviewed-by: Pratyush Yadav Reviewed-by: Mike Rapoport (Microsoft) Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton List of files: /linux/kernel/liveupdate/Kconfig
