Subject: [GIT PULL] RISC-V updates for v7.3-rc3
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 11:55:00 -0600 (MDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <bca66c44-faf3-27b1-daec-1fe594804354@kernel.org> (raw)
Linus,
Please pull these RISC-V updates for v7.3-rc3. From a RISC-V point of
view, there's one notable fix here, reverting an earlier bogus fix to the
pointer masking code. Fortunately the practical impact appears to be
small.
- Paul

riscv: skip software algning code for HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS (2026-09-02 11:47:08 -0600)
----------------------------------------------------------------
RISC-V updates for v7.3-rc3
- Revert a bad fix, likely LLM-generated, in the pointer masking code
that confused the RISC-V hardware pointer masking implementation
with the Linux kernel tagged address feature
- Fix unexpected faults caused by kprobe instruction slot writes when
!CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX
- Fix unexpected faults on minimal configurations during runtime code
patching on !CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX systems
- Fix a misplaced variable clear causing incorrect reuse of previous
values in the RISC-V hardware feature probing code
- Fix two bugs in the PMU SBI perf code on rv32: use BIT_ULL rather
than BIT on 64-bit masks; and use a bitmap rather than an unsigned
long on a quantity that can exceed 32 bits
And a few miscellaneous cleanups:
- Avoid a potential dereference-before-NULL-pointer-check bug in the
PMU SBI perf driver
- Simplify the rv32 bug table code by using
CONFIG_GENERIC_BUG_RELATIVE_POINTERS (following x86 and PPC)
- Report the RISC-V standard ISA extensions Z[v]fhmin when support is
claimed for the superset RISC-V standard ISA extensions Z[v]fh; and
simplify our FPU test code to only check for the presence of the D
extension
- Use an existing kernel string helper in place of some open-coded
code in kernel/usercfi.c
- Fix some yamllint issues in the RISC-V DT bindings for CPUs
- Convert one use of __ASSEMBLY__ to __ASSEMBLER__ that snuck into the
RISC-V CFI selftest code
- Update the translation for the simplified Chinese translation of the
RISC-V kernel patch acceptance policy
