reboot: fix cad_pid use-after-free race
cad_pid is a single kernel-wide struct pid pointer. proc_do_cad_pid()
reads it and passes it to pid_vnr() without protecting the lifetime of
the referenced struct pid. A concurrent writer can replace cad_pid and
drop the final reference to the old struct pid after the reader has
loaded the pointer but before pid_vnr() has finished dereferencing it,
causing a use-after-free.

kill_cad_pid() has the same lifetime race when it passes cad_pid to
kill_pid().

At the time this issue was reported, an unprivileged user could reach the
sysctl through user and PID namespaces because cad_pid was registered in
pid_table[]. Moving cad_pid back to the global reboot sysctl table
corrected that namespace and permission mismatch, but did not fix the
underlying lifetime race.

Fix this by treating cad_pid as an RCU-protected pointer at both read
sites and by waiting for a grace period before dropping the old reference
on the write side.

call_rcu(&old_pid->rcu, ...) cannot be used here because free_pid()
also queues pid->rcu; queueing the same rcu_head twice can corrupt the
RCU callback list.

Original KASAN crash stack:
  kernel/pid.c:545 pid_nr_ns()        # reads freed pid->level
  kernel/pid.c:556 pid_vnr()          # calls pid_nr_ns()
  kernel/pid.c:775 proc_do_cad_pid()  # calls pid_vnr(cad_pid)

034dd340b0 tracing fixes for v7.3:
- Fix error output of boot instance creation failure
 
   Currently if a boot instance creation fails, instead of printing out the
   name of the instance that failed, it prints "(null)". That is because it
   prints "cur_str" that had already been processed by strsep(). Print the
   saved name instead.
 
   While at it, print the error code of the failure.
 
 - Fix use-after-free for same named historgrams
 
   Histograms can be named so that they can be used in multiple events. But
   if the named histogram has a variable attached, the second event that uses
   the named histogram which duplicates it and needs to free the original
   after duplication leaves the old variable in place and still visible. If
   another histogram uses than variable, it will use the stale one which will
   try to reference the freed duplicate histogram and crash the kernel.
 
   Free the duplicate variables along with the duplicated histogram data.
 
 - Check return value of kthread_run() in event self test
 
   The events self tests uses a kthread for testing but does not check if it
   succeeded in creating a kthread. If the kthread creation were to fail, the
   code will still try to call kthread_stop() on the error returned.
 
 - Fix race between reading trace_pipe and updating subbuffer size
 
   If a user is reading the trace_pipe file at the same time they update the
   ring buffer sub-buffer size, can cause the trace_pipe read to read stale
   data. Add trace_access_lock() around updating the ring buffer sub-buffer
   size.
 
 - Fix eventfs_inode on failure path in creation of the events directory
 
   In the creation of the "events" directory, if after allocating the
   eventfs_inode a failure is detected, it calls cleanup_ei() which calls
   free_ei(). The free_ei() will test if eventfs_inode being freed has no
   children. It is a bug if it does. But on the failure case of the creation
   of the "events" directory, the children lists have not yet been
   initialized and the free will trigger a warning because list_empty() on an
   uninitialized list returns false.
 
   Move the initialization into init_ei() where it makes more sense and makes
   sure that a created eventfs_inode has its lists initialized upon creation.
 
 - Check return value of kthread_run() in ftrace direct sample code
 
   The sample code that shows how to use the ftrace direct calls does not
   test the return of kthread_run() to see if it succeeds. Return a failure
   if the kthread_run() doesn't succeed.
 
 - Clear user events state on fork in case of alloc failure
 
   On fork, the child gets a pointer to the parent's user events state. It
   makes a copy of it then updates the child's pointer to it. But if the
   allocation fails, the duplication function leaves the child with a pointer
   to its parent's descriptor. When the child cleans up its data, it will free
   the parent's descriptor while the parent is still using it.
 
   In the duplication function, set the child's user_event_mm to NULL before
   testing if the allocation succeeded, and when it exits it will not free
   the parent's descriptor.
 
 - Fix retry exhaustion in simple ring buffer reader swap
 
   simple_ring_buffer_swap_reader_page() starts with retry set to 8 and
   post-decrements it only after a failed link replacement. On the final
   attempt, a successful replacement leaves retry at zero, while a failed
   replacement leaves it at -1.
 
   But the check for success expects the retry value to be non-zero and exits
   with an error on zero. This is the opposite result. Fix it.
 
 - Fail nicely when the remote swap_reader_page() returns an error
 
   Currently, if the swap_reader_page() of a remote buffer fails, it triggers
   a WARN_ON_ONCE() and continues normally. Instead, have it exit with an
   error and a pr_warn() print instead of a full WARNING.

a155ac8f0c interrupt: Disable interrupt before modifying hardirq_disable counter
Currently a softirq may be pending longer then expected if the
triggering interrupt happens in-between hardirq_disable_enter() and
_local_interrupt_disable() in local_interrupt_disable():

    local_interrupt_disable():
      hardirq_disable_enter();
      <interrupt>
      ...
      __irq_exit_rcu():
        // false because hardirq_disable_count() is not 0
        if (.. && !hardirq_disable_count() && ..) {
	  invoke_softirq();
	}
      _local_interrupt_disable();

, it'll defer the softirq to the next interrupt which can be forever.

The order between hardirq_disable_enter() and _local_interrupt_disable()
is to optimize re-disabling interrupts if they are already disabled, but
as 1) local_interrupt_disable() is not widely used yet and 2) the proper
way to achieve this optimization may need fixing up the counter at
entry/exit time [1], so reverse the order for now to avoid the softirq
pending issue.

Because of this fix, the part of saving the current state is separated
from irq disabling, and the logic of local_interrupt_disable() becomes:

    local_irq_save(flags);
    if (counter++ == 0) {
      this_cpu(local_interrupt_disable_state) = flags;
    }

Therefore change the helper function _local_interrupt_disable() to
_local_interrupt_save_state() which only saves the current irqflags
(when interrupts get disabled the first time).

2f3536bff8 bpf: don't downgrade half-dead scalar zero spills to STACK_ZERO
states.c:__clean_func_state() can downgrade scalar zero spill to
STACK_ZERO in the following case:

  *(u64 *)(r10 - 8) = 0;
  ... checkpoint ...
  r1 = *(u32 *)(r10 - 4);
  ... no reads from r10-8 ...

Here 4 bytes at r10-8 are dead and verifier changes scalar spill to a
combination: 0000pppp (p stands for poison). Such a change breaks
precision propagation chains. All places that produce STACK_ZERO
should call bpf_mark_chain_precision() for the zero source.

This patch fixes the bug in a simplest way possible:
avoids converting stack spills of zero to STACK_ZERO.
Two smarter approaches are possible:
- do bpf_mark_chain_precision() from __clean_func_state()
- check slot liveness information in check_stack_write_fixed_off()

I investigated both and the changes required are a bit tricky,
hence go with a simple fix for the time being.

5eab74874d ring-buffer: Stop remote reader update when page swap fails
The remote swap_reader_page callback can return -EBUSY when the writer
moves the head before the remote catches it, particularly during an event
storm on a small buffer. __rb_get_reader_page_from_remote() currently
warns about that failure but continues with the unchanged reader ID and
rearranges the local page list as though the swap succeeded.

Handle the callback failure as a recoverable error. Report it with
pr_warn_ratelimited() and return NULL. Callers already handle a NULL reader
page as a failed attempt. This avoids splicing the same page as both the
previous and new reader without flooding the log under contention.

e0d3aed7b1 tracing: Fix retry exhaustion in simple ring buffer reader swap
simple_ring_buffer_swap_reader_page() starts with retry set to 8 and
post-decrements it only after a failed link replacement. On the final
attempt, a successful replacement leaves retry at zero, while a failed
replacement leaves it at -1.

The current !retry test reverses both outcomes. It returns an error after
a successful final replacement, leaving the link update complete but the
reader bookkeeping unfinished. After a failed final replacement, it
falls through and updates the head and reader pointers as though the
replacement succeeded, which can corrupt the ring.

Treat only a negative counter as exhaustion and return the documented
-EBUSY error.

390f6bd858 tracing/user_events: Clear copied tracing state before fork duplication
dup_task_struct() copies user_event_mm from the parent into the child,
without grabbing a reference to it. user_event_mm_dup() should
replace it, but it leaves that copied pointer unmodified if
user_event_mm_alloc() fails.

When the child exits, user_event_mm_remove() decrements a reference
the child never owned, which ultimately frees user_event_mm, while
the parent still as a stale pointer to it. This creates a UAF, which
KASAN reports as:

d3ef6c097b bpf: check_cond_jmp_op(): properly infer if register is null
Nicholas Carlini reported a bug when verifier can incorrectly infer
that a pointer is non-null. The bug occurs when two pointers are
compared and one of them has a type w/o PTR_MAYBE_NULL flag,
but which allows a value to be NULL at runtime.
Here is an example:

  // `a` is PTR_TO_MEM | MEM_RDONLY | PTR_UNTRUSTED
  // `a` is 0 at runtime.
  // `b` is PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE | PTR_MAYBE_NULL
  void *a = bpf_rdonly_cast(0, 0);
  int  *b = bpf_map_lookup_elem(...);

  if (a == b)
    *b = 42;  // verifier does not catch null pointer dereference

This happens because of a special case in check_cond_jmp_op(),
which attempts to strip PTR_MAYBE_NULL flags from pointer types,
when processing comparisons like `rA == rB`, if either rA or rB can't
be null.

The non-null property is derived based on the absence of
PTR_MAYBE_NULL flag on rA's or rB's type. But that is not sufficient
for types like PTR_TO_MEM, as in the example.

This patch replaces type_may_be_null() call with reg_not_null(),
which contains an allowlist of types for which absence of
PTR_MAYBE_NULL actually means that the value can't be NULL at runtime.

At the moment, the list in the reg_not_null() omits two types for
which PTR_MAYBE_NULL is applicable: PTR_TO_XDP_SOCK and PTR_TO_BUF.
In order to remain backward compatible, and assuming that only
comparison between pointers of the same type makes sense,
this commit extends reg_not_null(). W/o such an extension e.g.
verifier_jeq_infer_not_null/null_ptr_to_map_value fails.

reg_not_null() can be extended further, but I deem that out of scope
for the fix at hand. Explicit base_type(...) != PTR_TO_BTF_ID
checks in the check_cond_jmp_op() can be removed with migration to
reg_not_null(), but that is a behavioural change, as the special case
would start matching for PTR_TO_BTF_ID that is also is_trusted_reg().
I omit the behavioural change from this commit.

8f21098431 locking/lockdep: add sequence counter to held_lock
Add an 8 bit small sequence counter to the held_lock struct to detect if
the lock as been dropped and reacquired.  This is useful when a data
structure depends on a constant locking context, but is not able to detect
locking and unlocking of the lock through its own API.

Since the __lock_unpin_lock() will no longer detect underflow by casting
the unsigned int to a signed int, update the casting code to use a temp
variable for calculations using a signed int.

51943a18ad mm: provide vma_[flags_]is_cow_mapping() and remove is_cow_mapping()
All remaining callers of is_cow_mapping() are invoking it in the form of
is_cow_mapping(vma->vm_flags) or an indirected version of this.

Therefore, provide a helper - vma_is_cow_mapping() to directly test the
VMA.

Additionally provide a new helper vma_flags_is_cow_mapping() which
performs the check using the new vma_flags_t type, and share this logic
between vma_is_cow_mapping() and vma_desc_is_cow_mapping().

With these changes, no callers of is_cow_mapping() remain, so remove it.

Also update the userland VMA tests to reflect the change.

No functional change intended.

Canceling the last inactive work skips pwq_dec_nr_active(), so an empty
pwq can remain on pending_pwqs when its refcnt reaches zero.
pwq_release_workfn() currently puts the pool before removing that pwq.
If this drops the last pool reference, the pool can be RCU-freed while
the pwq remains reachable, and node_activate_pending_pwq() may trylock
the freed pool->lock.

Remove the pwq from pending_pwqs before putting the pool.

6c37d7e074 cgroup/cpuset: Preserve boot-isolated CPUs on partition release
isolated_cpus tracks CPUs isolated with isolcpus= as well as CPUs in
isolated cpuset partitions. When an isolated partition is released,
isolated_cpus_update() removes its whole CPU mask. This also clears CPUs
which were already isolated at boot.

This can be reproduced on a cgroup v2 system booted with
isolcpus=domain,15:

    cd /sys/fs/cgroup
    echo +cpuset > cgroup.subtree_control
    mkdir cpuset-repro
    echo 15 > cpuset-repro/cpuset.cpus
    echo isolated > cpuset-repro/cpuset.cpus.partition
    echo member > cpuset-repro/cpuset.cpus.partition
    cat cpuset.cpus.isolated

CPU 15 is absent before the change. It must remain in
cpuset.cpus.isolated after the partition is released.

Update isolated_cpus one CPU at a time and keep CPUs outside the
boot-time domain housekeeping mask isolated.

1476cca098 dma-contiguous: fix truncation of numa_cma / cma_pernuma sizes >= 2G
numa_cma=0:4G reserves nothing at all. dma_numa_cma_reserve() copies the
requested size into a local int before handing it to
cma_declare_contiguous_nid(), so 0x100000000 truncates to zero and the
loop skips the node silently. Both parameters are documented in
kernel-parameters.txt as nn[MG], so that is the syntax the documentation
invites.

Which bits survive decides what a request turns into: 4G, 8G and 16G
reserve nothing, 2G, 3G and 6G sign-extend into a size the allocator
rejects with a warning, and 5G quietly reserves 1G.

It reaches further than those parameters. On a CMA_SIZE_PERNUMA kernel
with no per-node parameter, dma_numa_cma_reserve() takes the per-node
size from the default area, so a plain cma=4G on a multi-node machine
feeds that size through the same local and loses every per-node area.

numa_cma_size[] and pernuma_size_bytes are both phys_addr_t, so use it
for the local too, and give early_numa_cma() separate variables for the
node id and the size while in there.

46094a7708 locking: Revert switching guards to _irq_{disable,enable}()
Revert commit 1b08668748 ("locking: Switch to _irq_{disable,enable}()
variants in cleanup guards").

While the guards are properly nested, not all wrapped code is nice, as already
highlighted by that fair.c hunk.

Syzbot found another instance of this pattern in posix_timer_delete(), which
does spin_unlock_irq()+spin_lock_irq() inside scoped_guard(spinlock_irq).
Combined with this patch, that goes sideways most spectacular.

Undo this until we've developed stronger tools / debug for such issues.

91959a31a3 kho: make boot time huge page allocation work nicely with KHO
Today allocation of gigantic pages in HugeTLB cannot work reliably with KHO:
 
 * HugeTLB allocates gigantic pages using memblock and autoscaling of KHO
   scratch accounts for these allocations. When gigantic pages occupy half
   of the memory of more, KHO fails to allocate its scratch memory.
 * After kexec handover, memblock allocations exclusively use KHO scratch
   that is not supposed to contain preserved memory. This essentially blocks
   preservation of HugeTLB with gigantic pages.
 
 Extend early memory pools available for KHO kernel with areas that are
 guaranteed not to contain preserved memory.

 Reviewed rate:       56%
 
 Summary of patch series in this merge:
 
 - "ocfs2/dlm: bound peer-controlled lengths in the o2dlm" (Bryam Vargas):
 
   Validate and bound all input lengths and count fields in the o2dlm
   migration and recovery receive handlers to prevent memory corruption and
   kernel panics from malformed cluster messages
 
 - "ocfs2: validate xattr entry bounds" (Cen Zhang):
 
   Validate OCFS2 extended attribute entry name and value bounds during
   metadata reads to prevent out-of-range memory accesses during retrieval
   or listing operations.
 
 - "taskstats: fix cgroupstats invalid fd handling and add selftests"
   (Yiyang Chen):
 
   Return -EBADF when cgroupstats receives an invalid file descriptor to
   prevent caller hangs and misleading success ACKs.  Add a kselftest to
   validate valid cgroup v1 queries and verify proper error handling across
   different Netlink flag combinations.
 
 - "misc lib/raid/ improvements v2" (Christoph Hellwig):
 
   Improve benchmark-based algorithm selection for the XOR and RAID6
   libraries, add KUnit benchmark tests, and cleanup minor implementation
   details.
 
 - "ocfs2: cluster: o2hb_region_pin() fixes" (Joseph Qi):
 
   Fix sleeping-in-atomic, lock order inversion and error-path cleanup
   bugs in o2hb_region_pin() by releasing o2hb_live_lock across sleeping
   configfs_depend_item() calls and using unlocked variants from callback
   context.  Ensure failed pin attempts properly decrement user counts and
   unpin partially initialized heartbeat regions to prevent memory leaks
   and unprotected states.
 
 - "lib/ucs2_string.c: fix out-of-bounds read in ucs2_strnlen()" (Vincent
   Mailhol)
 
   Fix an off-by-one which could cause an out-of-bounds read.
 
 - "ocfs2: harden heartbeat teardown races" (Cen Zhang):
 
   Fix two OCFS2 heartbeat/o2net teardown races found by KASAN.
 
 - "taskstats: tidy up the cpumask command path" *Bradley Morgan)
 
   make two small cleanups in kernel/taskstats.c.
 
 - "ocfs2: validate active orphan slots during inode read" (ZhengYuan Huang):
 
   Validate active ordinary and append-DIO orphan slots read from OCFS2
   dinodes at the metadata boundary to prevent corrupted slot indices from
   causing out-of-bounds array accesses.
 
 - "ocfs2: bound-check both readdir re-validation scans" (Zhan Xusheng)
 
   Enforce strict boundary checks on directory entry record lengths and
   offset calculations during OCFS2 directory re-scans to prevent
   out-of-bounds memory reads and directory position corruption.

372f853424 tracing: Fix use-after-free in trace_pipe read on sub-buffer order change
Writing to buffer_subbuf_size_kb calls ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set(),
which frees every sub-buffer of the ring buffer, including the reader
page, and replaces them with newly allocated ones.

Readers of trace_pipe hold pointers into those pages. ring_buffer_peek()
looks up an event under cpu_buffer->reader_lock but returns the event
pointer after dropping the lock, and peek_next_entry() then calls
ring_buffer_event_length() and ring_buffer_event_data() on it. If the
sub-buffer order is changed in that window, the reader dereferences
freed memory:

  BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in ring_buffer_peek+0x3e0/0x430
  Read of size 1 at addr ffff88802a4cf010 by task syz-executor989/6002

  Freed by:
   free_buffer_page kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c:398 [inline]
   ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set+0x1325/0x18e0 kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c:7444
   buffer_subbuf_size_write+0x182/0x280 kernel/trace/trace.c:8221

Take trace_access_lock(RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS) around the order change.
This is the lock trace_pipe readers already hold across their entire
peek-and-print loop, so the swap can no longer race with a reader that
is dereferencing a peeked event.

649bc7df3e tracing: Fix crash passing ERR_PTR to kthread_stop()
event_test_stuff() calls kthread_run() and unconditionally passes the
returned task_struct pointer to kthread_stop(). kthread_run() returns an
error pointer such as ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) when kthread creation fails, for
example under memory pressure during the boot-time event self-test.
kthread_stop() then dereferences the invalid pointer, crashing the kernel.

Check the result of kthread_run() before passing it to kthread_stop(). Use
WARN_ON() so that a failure to create the self-test thread does not go
unnoticed, matching the ring-buffer self-test fix in commit
91542863ab ("ring-buffer: Fix crash passing ERR_PTR to kthread_stop()").

a7318172aa tracing: Fix use-after-free with same-name named triggers
When two hist triggers on different events are registered with the same
name=, the second one reuses the first as named_data.  Both are added to
tr->hist_vars by save_hist_vars() during event_hist_trigger_parse(),
because save_hist_vars() is called before event_trigger_register() while
the named reuse is only detected later, in hist_register_trigger().

In the named-data branch hist_register_trigger() then frees the second
histogram's hist_data via destroy_hist_data(), but never removes its
tr->hist_vars list entry, leaving a dangling pointer and leaking the
trace_array reference it holds.

A later hist trigger that references a variable makes find_var_file()
walk tr->hist_vars and dereference the freed hist_data.  The bug is
reproducible from userspace by writing three hist triggers to tracefs:

  cd /sys/kernel/tracing
  echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:x=common_pid:name=mh' > events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
  echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:x=common_pid:name=mh' > events/sched/sched_process_fork/trigger
  echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:vals=$x' > events/sched/sched_process_exit/trigger

The third write panics the kernel:

cca061dccf sched_ext: Fix spurious aborts in scx_bpf_dsq_move() on ownership change races
scx_dsq_move() verifies that the task belongs to the calling scheduler
before taking any locks and aborts the scheduler on mismatch. The task can
lose the sched association at any point: It can run and fully exit, which
clears the association, or get rehomed to a different sub-sched. Both are
benign races, but the early ownership check escalates them into scheduler
aborts.

Move the ownership check below the cursor-lost check. Every ownership change
dequeues the task first, so a task that is still on the iterated DSQ under
the lock while owned elsewhere indicates a genuine violation and should
abort.

Also fix two stale comments still referencing sched_ext_free(), which has
been renamed to sched_ext_dead().

75b0a6db43 bpf: Fix percpu map update indexing with sparse CPU IDs
Per-CPU array, hash, and cgroup storage map updates without BPF_F_CPU
or BPF_F_ALL_CPUS use a value buffer whose per-CPU slots are packed in
possible-CPU order. The buffer is sized as:

  round_up(value_size, 8) * num_possible_cpus()

The update paths iterate over possible CPUs, but use the logical CPU ID
to calculate the source offset:

  value + size * cpu

This only works when possible CPU IDs are contiguous starting at zero.

For example, with a possible CPU mask of 0,2-3, the buffer contains
three slots corresponding to CPUs 0, 2, and 3. CPU2 is therefore
expected to use slot 1 and CPU3 slot 2. Instead, the current code uses
slots 2 and 3 respectively, causing incorrect per-CPU values and an
out-of-bounds read from the update buffer for CPU3.

The corresponding lookup paths already use a dense offset while
iterating over possible CPUs. Do the same for the array, hash, and
cgroup storage update paths, advancing the source offset once for each

1b91724d0b capability: Add new capable_noaudit
In some situations (quota enforcement bypass in this case) we'd like to
check for a specific capability without triggering spurious audit
messages from security modules like selinux.

Add a new helper so we don't need to use ns_capable_noaudit() directly.

 Summary of patch series in this merge:
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm: drop "sub" prefix from various places" from
   Dev Jain implements some page->folio conversion and a naming cleanup.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/kasan: remove redundant initialization for
   kasan_flag_write_only" from Igor Putko provides some KASAN cleanup work.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/filemap: reduce unnecessary xarray lookups"
   from Chi Zhiling provides a small speedup in the pagecaache read code.
 
 - The 4 patch series "mm/percpu: Fix possible NOFS/NOIO reclaim
   recursion" from Kaitao Cheng improves a few things in the vmalloc code -
   mainly the avoidance of GFP_KERNEL allocations when the caller asked for
   GFP_NOFS or GFP_NOIO.
 
 - The 3 patch series "mm/kmemleak: avoid soft lockup when scanning task
   stacks" from Breno Leitao avoids a soft lockup watchdog trigger from the
   kmemleak scanning code in extreme situations.
 
 - The 6 patch series "mm/page_owner: misc cleanups" from Ye Liu is a
   collection of unrelated cleanups to the page_owner code.  For some
   reason lots of people have been working on the page_owner code this
   cycle.
 
 - The 4 patch series "mm: convert to walk_page_range_vma() to eliminate
   find_vma()" from Kefeng Wang simplifies and accelerates the page walking
   library function.
 
 - The 3 patch series "mm/migrate: preparatory cleanups for batch copy
   and offload" from Shivank Garg implements cleanups in the migration
   code.
 
 - The 4 patch series "mm/page_owner: add per-fd filter infrastructure
   for print_mode and NUMA filtering" from Zhen Ni provides per-fd
   filtering to page_owner in order to reduce the sometimes vast amount of
   output it can produce.
 
 - The 19 patch series "mm: Refactor bootmem gigantic hugepage
   allocation" from Muchun Song is a "set of fixes and preparatory cleanups
   around bootmem HugeTLB handling, sparse initialization ordering, and
   related vmemmap setup".
 
 - The 4 patch series "mm/zsmalloc: reduce lock contention in zs_free()"
   from Wenchao Hao reduces lock contention in zs_free(), which dominates
   the unmap path under memory pressure on Android (LMK kills) and on x86
   servers running zswap-heavy workloads.  Up to 1.83x improvement in
   microbenchmarking.
 
 - The 2 patch series "move alloc_tag.c file under mm/" from Suren
   Baghdasaryan does that.

   (damon_nr_accesses_mvsum()), reducing structure memory overhead and
   avoiding state corruption bugs.
 
 - The 6 patch series "Open HugeTLB allocation routine for more generic
   use" from Ackerley Tng decouples HugeTLB folio allocation from VMA

   error checking, eliminate caller-side redundant checks and to improve
   maintenance efficiency.
 
 - The 3 patch series "tools/mm/page_owner_sort: fix filtering and
   cleanup issues" from Yichong Chen renames is_need() to filter_record()
   for clearer return semantics, fixes per-record allocation memory leaks
   and bounds output copies in search_pattern() to address an existing
   buffer issue.
 
 - The 4 patch series "memcg: bail out reclaim when memcg is dying" from
   Jiayuan Chen mitigates a system-wide stall which occurs when a cgroup is
   removed while one of its memory control files is doing synchronous
   reclaim.
 
 - The 5 patch series "mm/memory-failure: add panic option for
   unrecoverable pages" from Breno Leitao introduces an opt-in
   vm.panic_on_unrecoverable_memory_failure sysctl that immediately panics
   the kernel on unrecoverable memory errors in kernel-owned pages to
   preserve error context and prevent delayed, silent data corruption.
 
 - The 11 patch series "mm/damon: refactor damon_{start,stop,commit}()
   for simple error handling" from SJ Park refactors the DAMON core API
   functions to guarantee that all contexts are fully stopped when
   damon_start(), damon_stop(), or damon_commit() fail, eliminating the
   need for complex and error-prone caller-side cleanup code.
 
 - The 5 patch series "Keep tail page private zero at free and folio
   split" from Zi Yan adds checks to ensure tail_page->private is zero when
   freeing compound or high-order pages and when promoting tail pages
   during large folio splits.  By validating these fields at free and split
   time, it allows the removal of redundant private field clearing inside
   prep_compound_tail().
 
 - The 4 patch series "mm: drop redundant lru_add_drain in anon folio
   reuse paths" from Barry Song eliminates redundant lru_add_drain() calls
   in wp_can_reuse_anon_folio() and do_swap_page() to reduce LRU lock
   contention and system overhead.
 
   By validating folio refcounts against the LRU cache before draining
   and removing unnecessary drains in the swap path, it achieves up to a
   30.5% reduction in drain calls during heavy swap workloads.
 
 - The 3 patch series "mm: clean up folio LRU and swap declarations" from
   Jianyue Wu reorganizes folio LRU and swap code by relocating
   page-cluster state to mm/swap_state.c, renaming mm/swap.c to mm/folio.c,
   and moving MM-internal reclaim declarations into mm/internal.h.
 
 - The 15 patch series "userfaultfd: working set tracking for VM guest
   memory" from Kiryl Shutsemau adds userfaultfd support for tracking the
   working set of VM guest memory, so a VMM can identify hot pages and
   reclaim cold ones to tiered or remote storage.
 
 - The 10 patch series "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part
   2)" from David Hildenbrand removes the remaining pieces of
   CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE, performing some smaller cleanups around
   freeing of reserved vmemmap pages on the way.
 
 - The 7 patch series "mm/damon: update probe hits for runtime parameter
   commits" from SJ Park ensures that DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter
   is properly updated when monitoring intervals are changed at runtime,
   matching the behavior of nr_accesses.  To achieve this, it refactors and
   renames existing helper functions for shared use, applies the updates to
   probe_hits, and handles edge cases in damon_probe_hits_mvsum() to
   maintain measurement accuracy.
 
 - The 3 patch series "KSM: performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm"
   from xu xin resolves a severe KSM reverse-mapping performance bottleneck
   where thousands of split VMAs sharing a single anon_vma cause extended
   lock contention.  By adding an interval-filtering check during the rmap
   walk, it reduces worst-case anon_vma lock hold times from over 500ms
   down to under 2ms, preventing application freezes and latency spikes
   under memory pressure.
 
 - The 3 patch series "mm: split a couple of headers from internal.h"
   from Mike Rapoport splits declarations related to mm_init, memblock,
   vmalloc and sparse into new headers.
 
 - The 2 patch series "KSM: use linear_page_index in collect_procs_ksm()"
   from xu xin applies the interval tree optimization from rmap_walk_ksm()
   to collect_procs_ksm() to avoid iterating over non-matching VMAs during
   KSM memory error handling.  It hoists loop-invariant address
   initialization and restricts the anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach walk to
   a targeted page offset range, reducing redundant checks and improving
   lookup efficiency.
 
 - The 3 patch series "selftests/mm: avoid false failures in hugetlb and
   KSM tests" from Sayali Patil fixes issues in the hugetlb and KSM MM
   selftest categories that can report failures when the prerequisites for
   the tests are not satisfied.
 
 - The 19 patch series "mm/damon: introduce data attributes only
   monitoring" from SJ Park introduces attribute-weighted region management
   in DAMON, allowing users to prioritize specific data attributes (such as
   page sizes or cgroups) over or instead of access monitoring.
 
   By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely disable
   access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on weighted
   probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for attribute-focused
   workloads.
 
 - The 8 patch series "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for
   userfaultfd-backed mappings" from Stanislav Kinsburskii extends
   hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by allowing the
   mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new
   hmm_range_fault_locked() helper.
 
   By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock
   release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd regions
   while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers.
 
 - The 33 patch series "mm: make VMA page offset handling more
   consistent" from Lorenzo Stoakes cleans up and standardizes how
   vma->vm_pgoff is accessed and manipulated across file-backed and
   anonymous mappings in the kernel.
 
   It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(),
   vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while renaming
   rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their functionality.
 
   These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that will
   unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd folios.
 
 - The 3 patch series "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks"
   from Usama Arif addresses kernel panics and state corruption caused by
   MM walk callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries
   created during HMM migrations.
 
   It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock() properly
   recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present THP or a
   standard migration entry.
 
 - The 5 patch series "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" from Dev Jain
   refactors try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb, anonymous-lazyfree,
   and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated functions, laying the
   structural groundwork for batched anonymous large folio unmapping.
 
 - The 4 patch series "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and
   additions" from Song Hu fixes typos and fills in missing entries in the
   DAMON sysfs ABI document.
 
 - The 10 patch series "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs"
   from Gregory Price introduces an atomic sysfs state attribute and
   supporting DAX/MM infrastructure to prevent userland races when
   offlining and removing entire memory regions.
 
   By adding an unplugged state alongside standard online modes, it
   enables whole-device atomic hotplug control while preserving backward
   compatibility.
 
 - The 13 patch series "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t"
   from Lorenzo Stoakes continues transitioning the kernel from the
   deprecated vm_flags_t type to vma_flags_t across core memory management
   infrastructure.
 
   It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(),
   unmapped area allocation, mm->def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like
   mlock, mprotect, and mremap.
 
 - The 2 patch series "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" from
   xu xin refactors mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify
   duplicate slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM.  It also adds
   code documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must
   remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions.
 
 - The 10 patch series "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields"
   from SJ Park cleans up DAMON core structures by consistently marking
   internal-only fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper
   direct access from outer layers.
 
   It enforces encapsulation across core structures including
   damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to
   interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct
   members.
 
 - The 6 patch series "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL
   de-ref and races" from SJ Park addresses potential infinite loops, NULL
   dereferences, and race conditions identified in DAMON.
 
   It fixes an infinite loop triggered by extreme user configurations, a
   NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring
   accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on
   RT/UP" from Brendan Jackman fixes an NMI safety flaw in
   __free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT
   kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks via non-PCP or isolated
   migration paths.
 
   It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation
   risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory
   hotplug or large allocation frees.
 
 - The 4 patch series "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent
   cleanups" from Brendan Jackman cleans up and updates page allocator
   nomenclature, documentation, and debug assertions.
 
   It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming
   convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from
   high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete VM_BUG_ON()
   assertions in allocation paths.
 
 - The 3 patch series "mm/mseal: further cleanups" from Lorenzo Stoakes
   refactors and simplifies the mseal implementation by clarifying API
   boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity.
 
   It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a
   dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO, eliminates
   mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only to
   current->mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no
   functional changes intended.
 
 - The 4 patch series "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up
   per-node proactive reclaim" from Ridong Chen resolves reclaim behavior
   bugs and cleans up function parameters across memory reclaim paths.
 
   It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so
   unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page
   cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead of
   collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete gfp_mask
   parameter from __node_reclaim().
 
 - The 6 patch series "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" from Kefeng Wang
   cleans up and simplifies the mincore code.  Most importantly, it removes
   the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP pages as
   non-resident.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants"
   from Kiryl Shutsemau implements two trivial cleanups in the folio split
   API.
 
 - The 7 patch series "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit
   exec expectation bugs" from SJ Park resolves minor operational and
   testing bugs in DAMON identified by Sashiko.  It initializes the
   damos->last_applied field to prevent occasional efficiency degradation
   and fixes invalid memory accesses in DAMON KUnit tests during test
   failure handling.
 
 - The 3 patch series "cleanup for stable_page_flags()" from Jinjiang Tu
   cleans up and refactors stable_page_flags() used by /proc/kpageflags
   without altering functionality.
 
   It uses BIT_ULL() to prevent shift-overflow warnings on 64-bit flag
   bits, converts folio-specific flag checks to standard folio_test_*()
   helpers, and removes redundant CONFIG_PAGE_IDLE_FLAG handling.
 
 - The 3 patch series "Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios" from Dev Jain
   extends batched folio unmapping support to file folios within
   userfaultfd write-protect (uffd-wp) VMAs by adding batching capabilities
   to pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed().
 
   This removes special-case restrictions on uffd-wp VMAs in
   try_to_unmap_one(), significantly simplifying the function's control
   flow and complexity.
 
 - The 3 patch series "mm/early_ioremap: clarify and clean up
   early_ioremap_reset()" from Sang-Heon Jeon clarifies and cleans up the
   architecture-specific usage of __late_set_fixmap() and
   __late_clear_fixmap() after early_ioremap_reset().
 
   It adds explicit documentation regarding when early_ioremap_reset()
   must be called and removes redundant macro definitions and reset calls
   in the RISC-V and ARM64 architectures.
 
 - The 4 patch series "mm: fix reclaim storms in defrag_mode" from
   Johannes Weiner addresses severe performance regressions, swap storms,
   and spurious OOMs caused by vm.defrag_mode=1 under high memory pressure
   in Meta production.
 
   It updates the page allocator slowpath so non-movable allocation
   requests actively trigger direct reclaim and direct compaction at
   pageblock_order scale, allowing them to claim whole pageblocks rather
   than spinning unproductively.
 
 - The 2 patch series "zram: lockmap tweaks" from Sebastian Siewior
   optimizes and fixes lockdep tracking for zram devices by consolidating
   per-entry lockmaps and isolating lock classes across multiple instances.
 
   It reduces memory overhead by replacing per-entry lockdep_map instances
   with a single map per struct zram, and assigns a dynamic lock_class_key
   to each instance to prevent false deadlock reports when different zram
   devices are backed by distinct filesystems.

   pages on the way.

 - "mm/damon: update probe hits for runtime parameter commits" (SJ Park)

   Ensure that DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter is properly updated
   when monitoring intervals are changed at runtime, matching the
   behavior of nr_accesses. To achieve this, it refactors and renames
   existing helper functions for shared use, applies the updates to
   probe_hits, and handles edge cases in damon_probe_hits_mvsum() to
   maintain measurement accuracy.

 - "KSM: performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm" (xu xin)

   Resolve a severe KSM reverse-mapping performance bottleneck where
   thousands of split VMAs sharing a single anon_vma cause extended lock
   contention.

   By adding an interval-filtering check during the rmap walk, it
   reduces worst-case anon_vma lock hold times from over 500ms down to
   under 2ms, preventing application freezes and latency spikes under
   memory pressure.

 - "mm: split a couple of headers from internal.h" (Mike Rapoport)

   Split declarations related to mm_init, memblock, vmalloc and sparse
   into new headers

 - "KSM: use linear_page_index in collect_procs_ksm()" (xu xin)

   Apply the interval tree optimization from rmap_walk_ksm() to
   collect_procs_ksm() to avoid iterating over non-matching VMAs during
   KSM memory error handling.

   It hoists loop-invariant address initialization and restricts the
   anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach walk to a targeted page offset range,
   reducing redundant checks and improving lookup efficiency.

 - "selftests/mm: avoid false failures in hugetlb and KSM tests" (Sayali
   Patil)

   Fix issues in the hugetlb and KSM MM selftest categories that can
   report failures when the prerequisites for the tests are not
   satisfied

 - "mm/damon: introduce data attributes only monitoring" (SJ Park)

   Introduce attribute-weighted region management in DAMON, allowing
   users to prioritize specific data attributes (such as page sizes or
   cgroups) over or instead of access monitoring.

   By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely
   disable access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on
   weighted probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for
   attribute-focused workloads.

 - "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for userfaultfd-backed mappings"
   (Stanislav Kinsburskii)

   Extend hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by
   allowing the mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new
   hmm_range_fault_locked() helper.

   By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock
   release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd
   regions while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers.

 - "mm: make VMA page offset handling more consistent" (Lorenzo Stoakes)

   Clean up and standardize how vma->vm_pgoff is accessed and
   manipulated across file-backed and anonymous mappings in the kernel

   It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(),
   vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while
   renaming rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their
   functionality.

   These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that
   will unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd
   folios.

 - "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" (Usama Arif)

   Address kernel panics and state corruption caused by MM walk
   callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries
   created during HMM migrations

   It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock()
   properly recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present
   THP or a standard migration entry.

 - "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" (Dev Jain)

   Refactor try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb,
   anonymous-lazyfree, and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated
   functions, laying the structural groundwork for batched anonymous
   large folio unmapping.

 - "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and additions" (Song Hu)

   Fix typos and fills in missing entries in the DAMON sysfs ABI
   document

 - "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs" (Gregory Price)

   Introduce an atomic sysfs state attribute and supporting DAX/MM
   infrastructure to prevent userland races when offlining and removing
   entire memory regions

   By adding an unplugged state alongside standard online modes, it
   enables whole-device atomic hotplug control while preserving backward
   compatibility.

 - "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t" (Lorenzo Stoakes)

   Continue transitioning the kernel from the deprecated vm_flags_t type
   to vma_flags_t across core memory management infrastructure.

   It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(),
   unmapped area allocation, mm->def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like
   mlock, mprotect, and mremap.

 - "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" (xu xin)

   Refactor mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify duplicate
   slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM. It also adds code
   documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must
   remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions.

 - "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields" (SJ Park)

   Clean up DAMON core structures by consistently marking internal-only
   fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper direct access
   from outer layers.

   It enforces encapsulation across core structures including
   damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to
   interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct
   members.

 - "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races"
   (SJ Park)

   Address potential infinite loops, NULL dereferences, and race
   conditions identified in DAMON

   It fixes an infinite loop triggered by extreme user configurations, a
   NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring
   accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races.

 - "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on RT/UP" (Brendan
   Jackman)

   Fix an NMI safety flaw in __free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages
   on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks
   via non-PCP or isolated migration paths.

   It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation
   risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory
   hotplug or large allocation frees.

 - "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent cleanups" (Brendan
   Jackman)

   Clean up and update page allocator nomenclature, documentation, and
   debug assertions.

   It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming
   convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from
   high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete
   VM_BUG_ON() assertions in allocation paths.

 - "mm/mseal: further cleanups" (Lorenzo Stoakes)

   Refactor and simplify the mseal implementation by clarifying API
   boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity.

   It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a
   dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO,
   eliminates mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only
   to current->mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no
   functional changes intended.

 - "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive
   reclaim" (Ridong Chen)

   Resolve reclaim behavior bugs and clean up function parameters across
   memory reclaim paths

   It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so
   unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page
   cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead
   of collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete
   gfp_mask parameter from __node_reclaim().

 - "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" (Kefeng Wang)

   Clean up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it
   removes the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP
   pages as non-resident.

 - "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants" (Kiryl Shutsemau)

   Two trivial cleanups in the folio split API

 - "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit exec expectation
   bugs" (SJ Park)

   Resolve minor operational and testing bugs in DAMON identified by
   Sashiko. It initializes the damos->last_applied field to prevent
   occasional efficiency degradation and fixes invalid memory accesses
   in DAMON KUnit tests during test failure handling.

 - "cleanup for stable_page_flags()" (Jinjiang Tu)

   Clean up and refactor stable_page_flags() used by /proc/kpageflags
   without altering functionality.

   It uses BIT_ULL() to prevent shift-overflow warnings on 64-bit flag
   bits, converts folio-specific flag checks to standard folio_test_*()
   helpers, and removes redundant CONFIG_PAGE_IDLE_FLAG handling.

 - "Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios" (Dev Jain)

   Extend batched folio unmapping support to file folios within
   userfaultfd write-protect (uffd-wp) VMAs by adding batching
   capabilities to pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed().

   This removes special-case restrictions on uffd-wp VMAs in
   try_to_unmap_one(), significantly simplifying the function's control
   flow and complexity.

 - "mm/early_ioremap: clarify and clean up early_ioremap_reset()"
   (Sang-Heon Jeon)

   Clarify and clean up the architecture-specific usage of
   __late_set_fixmap() and __late_clear_fixmap() after
   early_ioremap_reset()

   It adds explicit documentation regarding when early_ioremap_reset()
   must be called and removes redundant macro definitions and reset
   calls in the RISC-V and ARM64 architectures.

 - "mm: fix reclaim storms in defrag_mode" (Johannes Weiner)

   Address severe performance regressions, swap storms, and spurious
   OOMs caused by vm.defrag_mode=1 under high memory pressure in Meta
   production

   It updates the page allocator slowpath so non-movable allocation
   requests actively trigger direct reclaim and direct compaction at
   pageblock_order scale, allowing them to claim whole pageblocks rather
   than spinning unproductively.

 - "zram: lockmap tweaks" (Sebastian Siewior)

   Optimize and fix lockdep tracking for zram devices by consolidating
   per-entry lockmaps and isolate lock classes across multiple instances

   This reduces memory overhead by replacing per-entry lockdep_map
   instances with a single map per struct zram, and assigns a dynamic
   lock_class_key to each instance to prevent false deadlock reports
   when different zram devices are backed by distinct filesystems.

bpf: Fix infinite loop in pcpu_freelist push with one possible CPU
__pcpu_freelist_push() can loop forever when only one CPU is possible
and an NMI re-enters pcpu_freelist_push() while the interrupted context
holds that CPU's freelist lock.

After the current-CPU fast path fails, the fallback loop walks
cpu_possible_mask while skipping the current CPU. With CONFIG_SMP=n, or
when an SMP kernel is limited to one possible CPU with nr_cpus=1 or
possible_cpus=1, there are no other possible CPUs to examine. The loop
therefore makes no lock acquisition attempt and can never make progress.

The following stack was observed on a UP system:

  NMI context:
    pcpu_freelist_push
    free_htab_elem
    htab_map_delete_elem
    [perf-event BPF program]
    __perf_event_overflow
    perf_event_nmi_handler
    exc_nmi

  Interrupted context:
    __pcpu_freelist_push
    pcpu_freelist_push
    free_htab_elem
    htab_map_delete_elem
    [raw_tp/sys_enter BPF program]
    __bpf_trace_sys_enter
    do_syscall_64

raw_res_spin_lock() detects the same-CPU recursive acquisition and
returns -EDEADLK, but the subsequent fallback loop has no candidate head
on a system with one possible CPU.

Restore the extra fallback head that existed before the rqspinlock
conversion. Keep the current-CPU fast path, then try the other possible
CPUs and finally the extra head. The additional head lets a push, which
cannot fail without losing a preallocated element, make progress when the
only per-CPU head is held by the interrupted context.

Also check the extra head from the pop path so that nodes placed there
can be reused.

bpf: Fix REG INVARIANTS VIOLATION on speculative pointer arithmetic
Take the following unprivileged program as an example:

	r0 = bpf_map_lookup_elem(...)	/* PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE, offset 0 */
	...
	14: r0 += r1			/* r1 is a bounded scalar */
	15: r9 = r0

Loading it triggers a verifier warning from reg_bounds_sanity_check():

	verifier bug: REG INVARIANTS VIOLATION (alu): const subreg tnum out
	of sync with range bounds r64={.base=0x0, .size=0x0}
	r32={.base=0x0, .size=0xffffffff} var_off=(0x0, 0x0)

What happens:

1. Processing insn 14 (r0 += r1) in adjust_ptr_min_max_vals(), the new
   offset is computed into dst_reg's var_off and 32/64-bit ranges.

2. Because pointer registers do not track 32-bit subregister bounds,
   __mark_reg32_unbounded() first sets r32 to the full range; r32 is
   re-derived from the offset at the end of the function by
   reg_bounds_sync().

3. On the unprivileged path, sanitize_ptr_alu() is called and, via
   sanitize_speculative_path() -> push_stack(), snapshots the current
   register state and schedules the next instruction (insn 15) to be
   verified directly as a speculative path.

4. That snapshot is taken between step 2 and the final reg_bounds_sync():
   at this point dst_reg's var_off still holds the (const) original
   offset while r32 has just been blanked to the full range, i.e. the two
   are out of sync. When the speculative path later verifies insn 15
   (r9 = r0), the inconsistent state reaches reg_bounds_sanity_check() and
   trips the warning.

var_off and the 32-bit range must always be consistent. There are two
ways to keep the snapshot consistent:

  1. sync var_off and r32 before the snapshot so they match, or
  2. leave r32 at its original (already consistent) value and blank it
     only after the snapshot.

The whole point of sanitize_ptr_alu() is to insert a harmless masking
sequence that keeps the access in bounds under speculation, so the state
it snapshots should faithfully represent that. Take approach 2: move
__mark_reg32_unbounded() to after sanitize_ptr_alu(), so the speculative
snapshot keeps the pointer's original, consistent r32. The non-speculative
path is unchanged: r32 is still blanked before the offset is applied and
re-derived by reg_bounds_sync().

11260c335e sched_ext: Changes for v7.3
This depends on the arena argument support in the BPF tree and should be
 pulled after the scheduler core and BPF pulls. The patches based on bpf-next
 were kept on a separate branch which was merged into for-7.3 just now. The
 same merged result was in linux-next for several days.
 
 Most of this cycle completes the enqueue-path support for hierarchical
 sub-scheduling, which makes sub-scheduler support feature complete: a root
 BPF scheduler can now hand a cgroup subtree over to a nested sub-scheduler
 together with revocable CPU grants, and the sub-scheduler owns all
 scheduling decisions for its tasks on those CPUs.
 
 Development volume was high and a number of changes plugging holes in the
 new support landed late in the cycle. Also included are core scheduling
 fixes that were completed too late for the v7.2 release and are routed
 through this pull request.
 
 - Sub-scheduler CPU delegation:
 
   - Parent schedulers now grant and revoke per-CPU capabilities (enqueueing,
     preemption, CPU frequency control) on their children, enforced on every
     path a scheduler can reach a CPU through. Previously only dispatching
     could be delegated; this lets sub-schedulers fully schedule their CPUs.
 
   - Rescue execution: a task whose scheduler doesn't have access to the CPUs
     the task needs to run on starved until the watchdog ejected the whole
     scheduler. The kernel now runs such tasks directly on a small bandwidth
     budget, turning a scheduler-killing failure into bounded degradation.
 
   - Cgroup integration: tasks migrating across a sub-scheduler boundary
     weren't re-homed to the new owner, causing wrong-scheduler scheduling
     and a use-after-free. Sub-schedulers now take over their cgroup subtree
     and receive its cgroup callbacks.
 
   - Arena objects now cross the kernel/BPF boundary as typed pointer
     arguments, translated transparently by the BPF tree's new arena argument
     support, replacing untyped arguments with manual translation.
 
   - scx_qmap now demonstrates full hierarchical sub-scheduling.
 
 - Robustness improvements: the abort path is now NMI-safe, fixing deadlocks
   when errors are raised from NMI context and making hardlockup recovery
   direct. Reenqueue loops that could monopolize a CPU ahead of the watchdog
   now eject the offending scheduler, and stalls are blamed on the scheduler
   actually responsible.
 
 - Hardening: BPF-writable arena memory is validated before kernel use, and
   task slice and vtime writes got explicit synchronization rules, closing
   corruption vectors open to buggy or malicious schedulers.
 
 - Core scheduling: sched_ext dispatching can drop the rq lock inside the
   core-wide pick, which let interleaving selections corrupt each other's
   state and hard-hang the machine. The selection now restarts when the lock
   was released. The task ordering callback was also invoked with its
   arguments swapped, and the default ordering is updated to work across
   sub-scheduler boundaries. The fixes are marked for stable.
 
 - Other fixes headed for stable: a task init leak on fork failure during
   enable, tooling compat macros that silently failed to detect newer
   kernels, and a crash on reenqueueing against a destroyed dispatch queue.
 
 - Tooling: scx_pair moves off deprecated callbacks, and the deprecated
   scx_bpf_cpu_rq() kfunc is removed.

Merge tag 'wq-for-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq

Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:

 - Worker wakeups moved out of pool->lock on the hot paths, shortening
   lock hold times. The wakeup can be expensive on arm64 due to the idle
   wakeup IPI, and the change improves the workqueue microbenchmark
   there by up to 10%

 - Stall diagnostics now report pools stuck with no running worker, with
   a backtrace of what the CPU is executing and the likely culprit
   worker, instead of dumping every in-flight worker

 - Preparation for turning per-cpu workqueues into an affinity scope of
   unbound workqueues instead of a separate backend

 - Race annotations for KCSAN and sparse warnings, and doc and
   monitoring script fixes

37e5c4f4d2 bpf: Reject invalid LDSX instruction in disassembly
The signed-load mnemonic table has entries for byte, half-word, and word
loads because BPF_MEMSX does not support double-word loads. A BPF_MEMSX
| BPF_DW instruction nevertheless selects index 3, past the end of this
table.

Program Structure diagnostics can disassemble a malformed instruction
before check_and_resolve_insns() rejects its opcode. Placing the invalid
signed double-word load at the end of a program therefore triggers an
out-of-bounds access while reporting subprogram fallthrough.

Treat signed double-word loads as invalid in the disassembler and use
the existing BUG_ldx fallback instead.

d8aa5dd979 futex: Fix might_sleep() warning in futex_pivot_pending()
A younger me put a WARN in might_sleep() to warn about nested sleep loops. This
younger me also build a wait-loop variant that can deal with it. This wait-loop
variant doesn't have all the fancy wrappers, since it isn't used much. It also
lacks wait-bit support.

Add the wait-bit support and use it to fix the nested wait issue.

c7a2a36182 x86/bpf: Make arch_bpf_trampoline_size allocate from EXECMEM_MODULE_DATA
Jiri Olsa reports slowdown of tracing_multi benchmark that allocates huge
number of trampolines [1].

The slowdown caused by extra protection changes in execmem_alloc_rw() and
execmem_free().

With ROX caches enabled, all execmem allocations except EXECMEM_MODULE_DATA
are ROX after the allocation. execmem_alloc_rw() temporarily sets them to
W+NX and execmem_free() resets them back to ROX.

The only user of bpf_jit_alloc_exec_rw() is x86::arch_bpf_trampoline_size()
that only needs a temporary writable buffer in the modules address space.

On x86 executable memory and module data are constrained to the same
address range, so x86::arch_bpf_trampoline_size() can directly use
execmem_alloc(EXECMEM_MODULE_DATA)

Replace the call to bpf_jit_alloc_exec_rw() with a call to
execmem_alloc(EXECMEM_MODULE_DATA) in x86::arch_bpf_trampoline_size() and
drop bpf_jit_alloc_exec_rw() helper.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "One of the 'small improvements all over the place' releases for us.

  It's hard to draw any direct comparisons because summer vacations
  disrupted our patch processing (and presumably - generation) quite a
  bit.

  Quick and dirty count suggests we (Paolo and I) merged a very similar
  number of net (632) and net-next (648) patches. This is not telling
  the full story either because 1/3 to 1/2 of the net-next patches also
  *seem* like AI-driven low priority fixes, cleanups and clarifications.

  We are completely overwhelmed, of course. The glimmer of hope is that
  we secured sufficient LLM budget and access (thank you Meta!) to run
  reviews with multiple frontier models on each patch. This eliminates
  some hallucinations. That said, in terms of review, the LLMs can only
  do so much.

  The sad truth is that our APIs (especially for rare events like PCIe
  errors, timeouts etc) have always been racy, and now LLMs don't let us
  ignore that. I expect our direction for the next release will be to
  tweak the reviews a little bit more, but start shifting focus to
  letting the LLMs take care of the busy work - managing patchwork,
  automating common process complaints, editing commit messages, and
  maybe applying patches which already got "reviewed-by" tags from
  people we trust...

5a8cd539ac Major changes:
- Redesign the verifier error reporting: failures now carry source and
   instruction annotations along with the causal event history that led
   to them, making program rejections far easier to debug and repair
   (Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi)

   __arena and __arena__nullable suffixes (Tejun Heo, Puranjay Mohan,
   Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi, Ihor Solodrai)
 
 - Signed BPF program loader rework to accommodate both BPF and security
   community needs where the kernel runs the signature verification at
   BPF_PROG_LOAD time before the LSM admission hook (Daniel Borkmann)
 
 - Add a set of ksock kfuncs which let BPF LSM and syscall programs
   create, connect and send on UDP sockets in order to emit telemetry

23906f3a16 sched/fair: Floor tg_cpus() at 1
tg_cpus() returns cpuset_num_cpus() unfloored, while its sibling
tg_tasks() already floors its result at 1. calc_concur_shares() feeds

	nr = min(tg_tasks(tg), tg_cpus(tg))

into __calc_smp_shares() as shares_max, so an nr of 0 makes shares_max 0.
__calc_smp_shares() ends with

	return clamp_t(long, shares, MIN_SHARES, shares_max);

and clamp() yields hi when hi < lo, so a zero shares_max silently defeats
the MIN_SHARES floor and returns 0 -- the exact case the comment above
that line says must return MIN_SHARES instead of 0.

That leaves a group sched_entity with load.weight == 0, and
__calc_prop_weight() then divides by cfs_rq->load.weight:

	weight *= se->load.weight;
	if (parent_entity(se))
		weight /= cfs_rq->load.weight;

which takes a #DE inside enqueue_task_fair():

  Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI
  RIP: 0010:enqueue_task_fair+0x422/0x950
  Call Trace:
   <TASK>
   enqueue_task+0x8e/0x250
   wake_up_new_task+0x148/0x2e0
   kernel_clone+0x1c6/0x390
   __x64_sys_clone+0xcc/0x100
   do_syscall_64+0x147/0x3c0
   </TASK>

This is not survivable in practice: with panic_on_oops=0 the kernel took
the first #DE and continued for 476 ms, then faulted at the same RIP with
identical register state and an identical RSP, because the oops recovery
path (kill task -> schedule()) re-enters the same enqueue while the rq
lock is held mid-enqueue. The second fault escalates to a panic.

Flooring tg_cpus() at 1 makes it symmetric with tg_tasks() and keeps
shares_max >= tg_shares, so the MIN_SHARES floor in __calc_smp_shares()
can no longer be bypassed.

Note this only removes the division hazard. Whether cpuset_num_cpus() can
legitimately return 0 -- via the cpu hotplug/suspend path where a v2
cpuset may transiently become empty, or via an RCU race -- is a separate
question still open on the report thread.

5146e0688d prctl: fix PR_SET_MM_AUXV losing the forced AT_NULL terminator
prctl_set_auxv() copies the user vector into a stack buffer, forces
AT_NULL on the last two entries there, and then copies only len bytes into
mm->saved_auxv.  Which is fine until the vector is shorter than the
buffer, because then the forced terminator sits past the end of the copy
and never lands in saved_auxv at all.

The code even says

	/* Make sure the last entry is always AT_NULL */

and it does, just not in the part that gets copied.

So mm->saved_auxv keeps the stale tail from exec.  Reproducing it is easy:
from a process with CAP_SYS_RESOURCE (just run it as root), call
prctl(PR_SET_MM, PR_SET_MM_AUXV, ...) with a vector that has a couple of
entries and no AT_NULL inside len (32 bytes on arm64), and then hexdump
/proc/self/auxv, or gcore the process and look at the AUXV note with
readelf -n.  This is arm64, the new vector was just { AT_UID, 0x1111,
AT_GID, 0x2222 }:

    idx  before (from exec)               after the prctl
    [0]  AT_SYSINFO_EHDR   0x7ed1d6e000   AT_UID    0x1111    <- new
    [1]  AT_MINSIGSTKSZ    0x1270         AT_GID    0x2222    <- new
    [2]  AT_HWCAP          0x119fff       AT_HWCAP  0x119fff  <- stale
    [3]  AT_PAGESZ         0x1000         AT_PAGESZ 0x1000    <- stale
    ...  16 more entries                  ...                 <- stale
    [20] AT_NULL           0x0            AT_NULL   0x0

21 entries before the prctl, still 21 after: the two new ones plus all 19
left over from exec.

Every consumer walks the vector until AT_NULL, so what they get now is a
vector that never existed at exec, the head from the prctl glued onto the
tail of the old binary.  gdb and crash pull the AUXV note out of coredumps
to find AT_PHDR, AT_ENTRY, AT_SYSINFO_EHDR and friends, and a mixed vector
points them at the wrong layout.  /proc/<pid>/auxv and PR_GET_AUXV hand
the same mess out to live processes too.  Nothing crashes, everything just
quietly reads a frankenstein auxv.

And callers that terminate their own vector hide the whole thing, which is
likely why nobody noticed since PR_SET_MM_AUXV landed in 2012.  Nothing
exciting security wise either, I mean it needs CAP_SYS_RESOURCE to begin
with.

prctl_set_mm_map() right above already copies the whole buffer for exactly
this reason, so just do the same here.  user_auxv is zero initialized and
only partially filled from userspace, so the rest is zeros and nothing
leaks.

Merge tag 'audit-pr-20260814' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/audit

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:

 - Drop BUG_ON() assertions from two functions

   While I don't recall any bug reports from either of these assertions
   in recent memory, neither of these checks warrant the kernel panic
   that could result from BUG_ON(). One of the BUG_ON() calls is
   converted to a WARN_ON_ONCE() and the other to a lockdep assertion.

 - Fix an audit tree reference counting problem

   Fix a corner case where audit could end up unintentionally dropping
   the last reference to an audit tree while the tree was still in use.

   We should probably revisit the audit tree handling code in full, but
   this patch works, and should be easy to backport to stable trees and
   downstream kernels.

 - Update the audit syscall classification tables

   Add some missing syscalls to the PERM class

cb8a75eec0 ring-buffer updates for 7.3:
- Remove unneeded semicolon
 
   A macro ended with a semicolon that wasn't needed.
 
 - Fix freeing cpu_buffer extra subbuffer with order greater than zero
 
   When the cpu_buffer was being freed, its "free" page, was using
   free_page() to free it when it could be more than one page.
 
 - Hold the cpu_buffer lock when resizing the subbuffer
 
   The freeing of the "free" page of the cpu_buffer was done without locking.
   The order of the data was being saved and then the "free" page was set to
   NULL. But there is a race that the "free" page could have been updated
   between those two operations. Add locking around it to prevent the race.
 
 - Save the order of the data along with the data in the free page
 
   The cpu_buffer would store just the data portion of the subbuffer page in
   its descriptor. But it did not store the order of the data pages. The order
   was being saved in the global buffer descriptor. But this leads to races.
 
   Have the cpu_buffer save the subbuf data along with its metadata (which
   includes the order of the page) to make sure when it frees it, it frees
   the correct order along with it.
 
 - Remove the subbuf_size and use the order directly when needed
 
   Having a size field for the size of the subbufer along with its order
   allowed for races to have them get out of sync. Remove the subbuf_size and
   use the order from the subbuf meta data directly under locks.
 
   Use the subbuf_order for other calculations in the ring buffer.
 
 - Remove the useless "cpus" field of trace_buffer
 
   The code has been restructured and the "cpus" field is no longer used.
   Remove it.
 
 - Remove the "mapped" field of the ring buffer and use a helper function instead.

Pull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Remove unneeded semicolon

   A macro ended with a semicolon that wasn't needed.

 - Fix freeing cpu_buffer extra subbuffer with order greater than zero

   When the cpu_buffer was being freed, its "free" page, was using
   free_page() to free it when it could be more than one page.

 - Hold the cpu_buffer lock when resizing the subbuffer

   The freeing of the "free" page of the cpu_buffer was done without
   locking. The order of the data was being saved and then the "free"
   page was set to NULL. But there is a race that the "free" page could
   have been updated between those two operations. Add locking around it
   to prevent the race.

 - Save the order of the data along with the data in the free page

   The cpu_buffer would store just the data portion of the subbuffer
   page in its descriptor. But it did not store the order of the data
   pages. The order was being saved in the global buffer descriptor. But
   this leads to races.

   Have the cpu_buffer save the subbuf data along with its metadata
   (which includes the order of the page) to make sure when it frees it,
   it frees the correct order along with it.

 - Remove the subbuf_size and use the order directly when needed

   Having a size field for the size of the subbufer along with its order
   allowed for races to have them get out of sync. Remove the
   subbuf_size and use the order from the subbuf meta data directly
   under locks.

   Use the subbuf_order for other calculations in the ring buffer.

 - Remove the useless "cpus" field of trace_buffer

   The code has been restructured and the "cpus" field is no longer
   used. Remove it.

 - Remove the "mapped" field of the ring buffer and use a helper
   function instead.

   The "mapped" field has become a bit overused and made the code come
   complex in using a counter for what is denoted as being mapped or
   not. There are other fields that are set when the ring buffer is
   considered mapped. Add a helper function to check those fields and
   use that instead of keeping track of a counter.

1484625c59 tracefs updates for v7.3:
- Define event fields before directory creation
 
   Move the event_define_fields() call in event_create_dir() before the
   eventfs directory creation. Previously, a failure after directory
   creation wouldn't clean up eventfs_inode because the error path didn't
   call eventfs_remove_dir(). This eliminates the need to clean up the
   eventfs directories if event_define_fields() fails.
 
 - Add warning for out of bounds pos in __eventfs_iterate()
 
   Sashiko complains about the ctx->pos causing issues if it is less than 2
   or greater than MAX_INT in __eventfs_iterate(). The thing is, the logic
   prevents that from happening. But to make Sashiko happy, add a WARN_ON()
   and exit safely if the function ever does get input that is out of the
   range the function expects.

081e5bf2a9 tracing updates for v7.3:
- Expose btf_ids to trace events
 
   In order to allow BPF programs to attach to system call trace events (which
   are actually pseudo trace events built on top of raw_syscall events),
   expose the BTF ID of the events. This will allow BPF programs better
   precision in attaching to events.
 
 - Use "u64" to assign to hist_field->type
 
   Instead of using kstrdup("u64", GFP_KERNEL) to assign the hist_field->type,
   just point it to "u64" instead. The hist_field->type is freed via
   kfree_const().
 
 - Replace kmalloc()/strcpy() with kstrdup() for trace_printk
 
   Instead of having two calls to copy the module format string, just use
   kstrdup().
 
 - Use __free() in trace event histograms and triggres where possible
 
 - Use seq_buf in trace event code instead of strcat()
 
   Instead of calculating the size of the buffer to use and filling it with
   strcat(), use the seq_buf infrastructure that takes care of making sure
   not to overflow the string size.
 
 - Reject invalid preemptirq_delay_test CPU affinity
 
   The preempt_delay_test module can take an invalid CPU affinity mask and
   create confusing output. Simply have the module reject invalid affinity
   masks.
 
 - Prevent division by zero in ftrace_ops sample module code
 
   If the ftrace_ops sample module code receives the module parameter
   nr_function_calls set to zero, it can cause a division by zero error.
 
 - Warn when an event dereferences a parameter in TP_printk()
 
   On boot up and module load, the trace event TP_printk() is scanned for
   possible bugs. As the TP_printk() code is executed when the user reads the
   "trace" file and processes the data written when the trace_event executed,
   the data it reads can be literally days old. The scan currently checks for
   dereferencing printk formats like "%pI6". But it does not check if the
   parameters themselves have a dereference like:
 
   TP_printk("offset %08x: value %08x",
            (u32)(__entry->addr - __entry->edma->membase), __entry->value)
 
   __entry represents the pointer to the event on the ring buffer. The
   __entry->edma->membase is dereferencing a pointer on the ring buffer to
   find membase, but the __entry->edma may no longer be a valid pointer.
 
   Warn on this case too.
 
 - Replace some strcpy() with strscpy()
 
 - Clean up mmiotrace events to use assign_type() macro
 
   The assign_type() macro makes sure the event type is indeed the type that
   is being parsed. The mmiotrace trace was written before that macro was
   created so it just simply typecasted the pointer.
 
   Replace the typecasting with the macro.
 
 - Have the ENUM processing to numbers only process what is added
 
   The code that converts ENUMs to their numbers in the trace events scanned
   all events to do the processing. This was true when a module was loaded
   too. That is, instead of processing just the events for the module, it
   processed *all* events. Even the builtin ones that were processed at boot
   up.
 
   Add a check for the event->module matching mod if it is a module before
   processing it.

00d66b29a6 ftrace updates for 7.3:
- Deprecrate ftrace_enabled in disabling ftrace
 
   The file /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled was created when ftrace was first
   introduced back in 2008. It was to be a "kill switch" if something was to
   go wrong. It was also used as a way to turn off function tracing for the
   latency tracers that would have it on by default. But in 2013 (Linux 3.10)
   the option "function-trace" was introduced to disable function tracing for
   the latency tracers as the "ftrace_enabled" file was considered too big of
   a hammer and caused too many side effects.
 
   When live kernel patching came along, disabling ftrace via the
   ftrace_enabled file would put the system into an unstable state if a live
   kernel patch was installed. This created the need to mark some function
   hooks as "PERMANENT".
 
   Now there's a need for BPF usage marked as PERMANENT for the same reasons.
 
   The file "ftrace_enabled" usage is no longer viable. It doesn't do what it
   says it does and there is no reason to use it.
 
   Make writing '0' to it a nop and print a message saying its usage is
   deprecated. The return value of writing '0' is -EOPNOTSUPP so that user
   space will error on that write (hopefully to inform any developer that it
   no longer works).
 
   Eventually the file should be removed completely, but for now just making
   it not do anything is the path forward to that.
 
 - Update the livepatch tests to handle ftrace_enabled being disabled
 
   Because in the past, livepatch was broken by ftrace_enabled being turned
   off, there's a test case that checks to make sure it still doesn't break.
   But having the write of '0' return an error caused that test to break.
   Updated the test to handle the new change.

55ee4b931a Real-time Verifier updates for v7.3
- Switch LTL and DOT parsers to Lark in code generation tool
 
   The rvgen code generation tool originally parsed DOT files and LTL
   specifications using custom string parsing and Ply, which is no longer
   maintained. The DOT parser was fragile and prone to failure on minor
   format variations. Both LTL and DOT parsers have been rewritten to use
   the Lark parsing library.
 
 - Simplify Hybrid Automata clock variables
 
   The clock variables in hybrid automata monitors now use a single
   representation of the elapsed time since the clock was reset, rather
   than converting between invariant and guard representations.
   This allows simpler code generation for the newly refactored parser.
 
 - Generate cleanup hook for per-obj monitor
 
   The code generation scripts now adds a cleanup function to per-obj
   monitors for the user to wire to the appropriate event (e.g.
   sched_process_exit for tasks).
 
 - Reduce read_lock scope during per-task cleanup
 
   Take the tasklist_lock only when necessary, that is when iterating
   over for_each_process_thread().
 
 - Simplify task monitor slot management
 
   Only rely on the slot array for per-task slot management to avoid
   inconsistency with the unused counter.
 
 - Improve rvgen code robustness and templates
 
   Use pathlib in rvgen and improve kernel path discovery. Also improve
   consistency across templates when generating code (e.g. author
   placeholder and monitor struct name).
 
 - Update rtapp sleep monitor
 
   Simplify the sleep monitor by excluding kernel threads and
   updating the nanosleep check to focus only on CLOCK_REALTIME. Also
   switch to use the sched_exit tracepoint to run in the context of the
   offending (wakee) task.
 
 - Add wakeup monitor
 
   Add the new rtapp/wakeup monitor to detect when lower-priority tasks
   wake up higher-priority ones, complementing the existing sleep monitor
   by running in the waker context and capturing its stack trace.
 
 - Fix tools/rv exit status on failure
 
   Ensure the rv tool returns a failure exit code when a monitor fails to
   start because it was already running.
 
 - Add automated selftests for tools/rv and rvgen
 
   Introduced automated bash selftests to validate rv monitor listing and
   execution under different configurations. Added tests for the rvgen code
   generator, validating generated files against expected output (golden).
   Tests are reachable via make check.
 
 - Add KUnit test coverage for verification monitors
 
   Added comprehensive KUnit tests to validate the functionality of
   deterministic, hybrid, and LTL monitors by emulating event sequences
   and timing in a mock environment without affecting the running kernel
   while expecting mock reactions to fire. Ensure real RV monitors cannot
   run during KUnit tests to avoid state corruption.
 
 - Mock current in rv monitors
 
   Mock the call to current in rv monitors when the KUnit tests are built
   to allow them to run the test on dummy tasks. No overhead is expected
   when KUnit tests aren't running.
 
 - Introduce rvgen kunit subcommand
 
   Added a new 'kunit' subcommand to rvgen to automatically patch an already
   generated monitor with KUnit integration templates by parsing its event
   handlers and creating the required mock structures and initializations.
 
 - Refine kernel verification selftests
 
   Added new selftests for the deadline and stall monitors and rearranged
   the existing wwnr_printk test to resolve flakiness.
   Additionally, fixed an issue in the selftests framework where negative
   assertion failures were not correctly propagated due to shell rules.
 
 - Fix 32-bit build of nomiss KUnit test
 
   A previous commit introduced a division between an u64 and a constant
   value and that doesn't build on 32-bit systems. Use div_u64() instead.
 
 - Document changes in sleep monitor
 
   The sleep monitor introduced some changes in the past like allowing
   epoll_wait() as a valid sleep and a task going to runnable before
   scheduling as a valid wakeup. Document both.

7e2f2a377a workqueue: Use raise_softirq() to trigger softirq in irq_work handler
bh_pool_kick_normal() and bh_pool_kick_highpri() are registered via
init_irq_work() without the IRQ_WORK_HARD_IRQ flag. On PREEMPT_RT, such
irq_work items are processed by the per-CPU irq_workd kthread in preemptible
task context with IRQs enabled. However, raise_softirq_irqoff() requires
IRQs to be disabled. Calling it from irq_workd trips the lockdep assertion
in __raise_softirq_irqoff() and the non-atomic update of the softirq pending
mask can lose bits raised by an interrupt on the same CPU. Replace
raise_softirq_irqoff() with raise_softirq() in the irq_work handlers.

104a813376 VDSO updates:
- Consolidate the VDSO datastore further and provide support for
    mlock_all() and prefaulting.
 
  - Provide 32-bit legacy time related functionality only if
    CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME is enabled. The config switch exists, but
    architecture code still exposes the legacy functionality even disabled.
 
    Clean this up by adding the missing guards and validating at build time
    that the VDSO is legacy free if disabled.
 
  - Consolidate the VDSO related config options in core and drivers, which
    removes some non-sensical dependencies and quite an amount of #ifdeffery.

3b4128b9f3 Timers and timekeeping core updates:
- Fix a subtly inconsistency in the timekeeping code, which fails to
     account for the monotonicity adjustment in ntp_error. For small changes
     of the clocksource multiplicator (+/-1) which are typically used by the
     NTP PLL this is hardly to observe. But for larger adjustments,
     e.g. caused by a direct frequency setting through adjtimex() the
     one-time uncompensated offset is significant.
 
     Cure this by adjusting ntp_error with the resulting offset so that the
     discrepancy is smoothed away over time
 
   - Make tick length calculations correct in NTP. The timekeeping core
     takes the quantisation of the clocksource into account when calculating
     the tick length to compensate for the deviation of the nominal
     NTP_INTERVAL_LENGTH. While timekeeping gets this right, NTP is not
     aware of that, which means it operates on the nominal value and not on
     the actual value which is determined by the clock source frequency. The
     rounding of a coarse clocksource like the ACPI PM timer results in a
     +127 PPM deviation.
 
     Cure this by exposing the deviation to the NTP code so that it can
     operate on the same data as the timekeeping core. This is purely kernel
     internal. User space still sees the nominal tick lenght via adjtimex().
 
   - The accuracy of the NTP adjustments is fairly approximate as the code
     assumes that the invocations are precisely in NTP interval frequency
     ticks and the final adjustment can over and under-run.
 
     Cure this by adjusting ntp_error by the intended skew on each tick to
     achieve the desired rate.
 
   - Handle the two competing skews of time offset and time adjustment
     correctly by calculating the conflict portion between the skews and
     adjusting both accordingly.
 
   - A set of updates and improvements for the selftests

0dd1a54f44 SMP core updates:
- Reduce the preemption disabled sections in smp_call_function*().
 
     The various smp call functions keep preemption disabled accross the
     full operation which includes the wait for completion. Especially the
     latter can take some time when one of the target CPUs is not
     immediately responding to the IPI, which can result in large latency
     spikes.
 
     To improve this provide a per task CPU mask to track the CPUs to wait
     for. That makes the information required for the wait task local and
     therefore allows to reenable preemption before the wait. While this
     comes with moderate extra memory cost this reduces SMP function call
     induced latency measured in a fleet for high priority tasks from ~17ms
     to ~1.5ms (~90%).
 
   - Reduce the overhead of the CSD debug code by replacing the heavy memory
     barriers with smp_store_release()/acquire().
 
   - Remove obsolute unused hotplug states

   - Clean up the syscall number handling in the generic entry code. It
     works correctly for architectures which have a separate return value

     This solves most of the problems for architectures which do not have a
     separate return value storage in pt_regs except for the case where a
     tracepoint has a BPF script or a probe attached which overwrite both
     the syscall number and the return value. But that's a problem which
     cannot be solved in the generic code, that only can be addressed by
     separating the storage model in the affected architectures.

Pull generic entry code updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Make syscall user dispatching configurable

   Not all architectures can makes use of syscall user dispatching.
   Allow them to disable the feature completely.

 - Consolidate stack randomization for the generic entry code and the
   architectures using it.

   Stack randomization on syscall entry was sprinkled throughout the
   architecture specific low level entry code and in some cases at the
   wrong points, e.g. before establishing state, which violates the
   non-instrumentable constraints of that code.

   Clean this up by integrating stack randomization into the generic
   entry code helpers so that it is invoked at the earliest possible
   point right after establishing state and converting all generic entry
   code using architecture over.

 - Clean up the syscall number handling in the generic entry code. It
   works correctly for architectures which have a separate return value
   storage in pt_regs, but fails to distinguish the case where user
   space handed in -1 as syscall number from the case where the entry
   code rejects it by returning -1 to the callers. Aside of that the
   return value functionality of those interfaces is not really
   intuitive.

   Fix this by separating the decision to reject a syscall (user
   dispatch, ptrace, seccomp ...) from the potential modification of the
   syscall number through these mechanisms.

   This solves most of the problems for architectures which do not have

6eca8f94d8 workqueue: Annotate cb_lock nesting when draining a dead BH pool
On PREEMPT_RT, bh_worker() wraps work item execution in pool->cb_lock to
provide a handshake for canceling BH work items. When a CPU goes down,
drain_dead_softirq_workfn() runs the dead pool's bh_worker() nested inside
the local pool's bh_worker(), acquiring the cb_locks of two different pools
without a nesting annotation. lockdep reports possible recursive locking:

  ============================================
  WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
  --------------------------------------------
  ktimers/0/16 is trying to acquire lock:
  ffff8880b873a990 (&pool->cb_lock){+...}-{3:3}, at: bh_worker+0x7d/0x880

  but task is already holding lock:
  ffff8880b863a990 (&pool->cb_lock){+...}-{3:3}, at: bh_worker+0x7d/0x880

  Call Trace:
   bh_worker+0x7d/0x880 kernel/workqueue.c:3688
   drain_dead_softirq_workfn+0x95/0x220 kernel/workqueue.c:3763
   process_scheduled_works+0xa8e/0x14e0 kernel/workqueue.c:3405
   bh_worker+0x46a/0x880 kernel/workqueue.c:3708
   tasklet_action+0xc/0x70 kernel/softirq.c:965

The nesting can't deadlock. A pool's bh_worker() runs nested only while the
pool's CPU is dead, entered from a live pool's bh_worker() on the draining
CPU, so the ordering is always live to dead. CPU hotplug operations are
serialized and the drain is synchronous, so the nesting depth never exceeds
two. Annotate the inner acquisition with SINGLE_DEPTH_NESTING.

5f01293930 sched_ext: Allow ops.cgroup_set_bandwidth() to be sleepable
ops.cgroup_set_bandwidth() is delivered from scx_group_set_bandwidth(),
which runs from the cpu.max cgroup interface write path (tg_set_bandwidth())
in process context. scx_group_set_bandwidth() holds
percpu_down_read(&scx_cgroup_ops_rwsem), whose read side may sleep.
The call site is therefore sleepable, like ops.cgroup_init().

bpf_scx_check_member() rejects a sleepable program on any member not on its
allow-list, so a BPF scheduler cannot allocate -- which is sleepable -- when
a cgroup gains a cpu.max limit at runtime; it must instead pre-reserve memory
for a callback that cannot allocate. Add cgroup_set_bandwidth() to the
allow-list so the callback can allocate on demand, and document that it may
block.

A scheduler must decide at load time whether to mark the callback sleepable,
but the allow-list entry is a verifier property with no symbol to probe. Add
a compatibility marker whose presence in the kernel's BTF lets userspace detect
this support: DEFINE_SCX_COMPAT_MARKER() emits an empty, callerless function,
here scx_compat_marker_cgroup_set_bandwidth_may_sleep(). It is __used
__retain so neither the compiler nor the linker (under
CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION) drops it. The markers share the
scx_compat_marker_ prefix and are collected near the end of ext.c so more
can be added as further capabilities appear.

c793bbfc4a timer: Keep debugobjects state consistent in migrate_timer_list()
When timers are migrated away from an offline CPU the debugobjects state
gets corrupted. The timer is accounted as inactive on deletion, but the
enqueue on the alive CPU lacks the activation call.

That used to work, but got broken when the trace point and the debug
objects call got separated. That change missed to fixup
migrate_timer_list().

Add the missing debug_timer_activate() invocation to fix it.

Pull kthread vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This stops kernel threads from sharing filesystem state with
  userspace. This work is about 3 cycles old and has been in -next
  for about that time.

  When the kernel boots init_task creates PID 1 and then kthreadd. From
  that point every kthread and PID 1 share the same fs_struct. That is
  why pivot_root() has to rewrite the fs_struct of all kthreads. The
  rewriting exists so that kthreads can use init's filesystem state when
  they want to. It also means userspace can move the ground out from
  under the kernel.

  PID 1 now gets a completely separate fs_struct. All kthreads are
  anchored in a private SB_KERNMOUNT instance of nullfs that cannot be
  mounted on and cannot be used to follow other mounts. Userspace init
  can no longer affect kthread filesystem state and kthreads can no
  longer affect userspace fs state without explicit opting in to that.

  Path lookup from a kthread now fails by default. It makes it
  deliberately hard to offload security sensitive operations into init's
  filesystem state from a kthread.

  Places that legitimately need to look something up there opt in
  through the new scoped_with_init_fs() which temporarily overrides the
  caller's fs_struct with init's. usermodehelpers remain the only kernel
  tasks that genuinely share init's filesystem state, since they execute
  random binaries in the root filesystem (excellent...).

  The visible result is that /proc/2/root is a nullfs with an empty
  mountinfo while /proc/1/root is the real root"

da729ddd4a NFS/localio: issue IO inline when not in a memory-reclaim context
Every LOCALIO read and write is currently bounced through the dedicated
!WQ_MEM_RECLAIM nfslocaliod_workqueue.  That bounce is only actually
required when the submitting context is a memory-reclaim context: LOCALIO
issues IO directly into a stacked local filesystem (e.g. XFS) which may in
turn flush its own !WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue.  Doing that from a
WQ_MEM_RECLAIM worker (most importantly writeback's wb_workfn on bdi_wq) or
an explicit PF_MEMALLOC reclaim task trips check_flush_dependency() and
risks a forward-progress deadlock, which is why commit b9f5dd57f4
("nfs/localio: use dedicated workqueues for filesystem read and write")
introduced the intermediate workqueue.

Outside of reclaim context -- ordinary application/task submission such as
O_DIRECT or fsync-driven writeback -- the workqueue hop buys nothing and
merely adds a context switch and scheduling latency per IO while discarding
the NFS client's inherent application-context parallelism.

Add current_is_workqueue_mem_reclaim(), which reports whether %current is a
WQ_MEM_RECLAIM worker using the same predicate check_flush_dependency()
warns on.  Use it, together with the PF_MEMALLOC check, in the new
nfs_local_defer_io() helper to decide per-IO whether nfs_local_do_read()
and nfs_local_do_write() must defer to nfslocaliod_workqueue or may issue
the IO inline.  Buffered writeback continues to bounce (wb_workfn is a
WQ_MEM_RECLAIM worker); O_DIRECT and app-context submission now run inline.

Running nfs_local_call_write() inline is safe: it already saves and
restores current->flags around the PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE|PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO it
sets and scopes the file opener's creds.  The async O_DIRECT completion
path is likewise unaffected: when the underlying filesystem returns
-EIOCBQUEUED, the kiocb ki_complete callback (nfs_local_read_aio_complete /
nfs_local_write_aio_complete) can run in bottom-half context and so must
still defer the pgio completion (nfs_local_pgio_release -> rpc_call_done) to
nfsiod_workqueue via nfs_local_pgio_aio_complete().  That completion hop is
independent of how the IO was submitted, and this change leaves it as-is;
only the submission side stops unconditionally hopping through
nfslocaliod_workqueue.

Pull binfmt updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains a bunch of work for binfmt_misc. It fixes a bunch of
  old bugs, reworks the locking, and then extends the format registry
  so a binary type can be matched programmatically and its interpreter
  computed per exec instead of being a fixed string recorded at
  registration time.

  This allows nixos and other to e.g., implement relocatable binaries
  meaning the interpreter/dynamic loader can be determined
  programatically, say found relative to the binary. The mechanism is
  flexible and can support other policies:

   - Handler lookup is now an rcu walk. An exec that matches no
     binfmt_misc entry should now never write to a shared cacheline

   - remove the VERBOSE_STATUS and USE_DEBUG compile time toggles

   - convert the entry file to a seq_file which simplifies things quite
     a bit and kills a lot of custom logic

   - make flags proper enums

   - rename struct Node to binfmt_misc_entry

   - allow entries to be removed with unlink(2)

   - Add the ability to attach bpf programs to binfmt_misc entries so
     it's possible to dynamically choose the execution environment such
     as the loader or interpreter on a per binary basis.

     A handler is an instance of a binfmt_misc_ops struct_ops with a
     ->match() and a ->load() program. match() decides from the entry
     lookup walk whether the handler applies under the same
     registration-order. It can read file content as needed not only the
     prefetched 256 bytes in bprm->buf.

     load() then selects the interpreter and stages it through the new
     bpf_binprm_set_interp(), bpf_binprm_set_interp_arg() and
     bpf_binprm_set_flags() kfuncs.

     Handlers are published in a registry keyed by the registering
     task's user namespace and activated through the existing text
     interface with a new 'B' type carrying the handler name:

	echo ':origin:B::::nix:' > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register

     The permission and namespacing model is unchanged. Activating a
     handler requires the same write access to an instance as any other
     registration. A container mounting its own instance escapes the
     host's entries exactly as before. The computed interpreter is
     opened with open_exec() under the caller's credentials and goes
     through full LSM vetting as the next binprm level. A program can
     only ever redirect the caller to something the caller could exec
     anyway.

   - Two dispatch modes are added. So far the chosen interpreter owns
     the whole process identity (argv[0], /proc/pid/cmdline,
     /proc/self/exe all name interpreter information). So relocatable
     find the dynamic linker instead. Also a binary passed to execveat()
     as an inaccessible O_CLOEXEC fd cannot run at all and gdb trips
     because AT_ENTRY and AT_PHDR do not match the exe file. So PIE
     symbols are unrelocated.

     This adds transparent dispatch which allows the interpreter to load
     the binary through AT_EXECFD and leaves the argument vector exactly
     as the caller built it and labels mm->exe_file and comm with the
     binary. It also raises the AT_FLAGS_TRANSPARENT_INTERP aux vector
     bit. The interpreter keeps control of mapping the binary.

     The second mode is loader substitution. This allows a binary to be
     executed natively and only the interpreter to be changed.

   - Last, interpreters can be bound at registration time. Each
     interpreter is opened by its own write with the credentials the
     entry file was opened with. The program picks one per exec with
     bpf_binprm_select_interp().

     Ucounts are used to properly account for pre-opened interpreters
     via /proc/sys/user/max_binfmt_misc_interpreters"

bpf: Correct kfunc argument diagnostics
The Call Type Safety diagnostics mishandle three kfunc argument classes.

BTF type ID 0 represents void, but btf_show_name() also uses zero to end
type traversal. A pointer that resolves to void therefore loses its pointee
name and is rendered as "()". End traversal directly for concrete terminal
types, but resolve referenced types before testing for ID zero, and name the
void terminal type explicitly. Format the complete parameter pointer type
for nullable kfunc arguments, so void pointers are reported as (void *).

Also add the missing structured report when an __szk memory-size argument is
not a verifier-known constant. Describe the generic bpf_refcount_acquire()
contract without deriving an object type from its void pointer prototype.

If BPF writes a negative optlen, that value is accepted and propagated

d99bda7f01 bpf: Rewrite any fault prone load out of a mem or btf_id pointer
bpf_convert_ctx_accesses() turns a BPF_LDX into a BPF_PROBE_MEM one by
matching the type recorded for the insn against a list of exact pointer
types. The list cannot keep up with the flag combinations the verifier
produces, and a type which is missing from it ends up as a plain load
without an exception table entry, so a bad address panics the kernel
instead of being handled.

Two such types exist today and are reachable:

  - PTR_TO_BTF_ID | PTR_UNTRUSTED | MEM_ALLOC | NON_OWN_REF
  - PTR_TO_BTF_ID | PTR_UNTRUSTED | MEM_RCU

Rather than adding the two, just drop the list and state the property
itself in the default case of the switch. This is a superset of what
the list matched, the untrusted PTR_TO_MEM does not have to carry
MEM_RDONLY for it anymore, and it stays in sync with the verifier side
which uses the same match in save_aux_ptr_type() and reg_type_mismatch_ok().

Assert that a fault prone type which does not get the rewrite for whatever
reason is rejected at load time rather than left to fault at runtime to
catch any future cases.

ee9ad135b2 bpf: Reject a store through a fault prone pointer
check_ptr_to_btf_access() allows the program to store before the default
BTF access path gets to reject a non read access. ac65c710cc ("bpf:
Reject writes through untrusted BTF pointers") closed that for a
PTR_UNTRUSTED pointer, but a bare PTR_TO_BTF_ID may fault on a dereference
just the same and is let through.

A BPF_LDX gets the BPF_PROBE_MEM rewrite in bpf_convert_ctx_accesses()
and a bad address is handled, but a BPF_STX does not and cannot, there
is no probed store to rewrite. The store is emitted as a plain one without
an exception table entry and a bad address panics the kernel.

A bpf_qdisc program can reach this, bpf_qdisc_btf_struct_access() permits a
write to Qdisc::limit and Qdisc::next_sched is a plain struct Qdisc pointer
which the walk turns into the compat type:

  struct Qdisc *next = sch->next_sched;

  next->limit = 1000;

09c447564f bpf: Keep fault protection when merging pointer types
When the same BPF_LDX instruction is reached through paths that yield
different pointer types, save_aux_ptr_type() merges them into a single
type which is later used by bpf_convert_ctx_accesses() to decide whether
the load has to be rewritten into a BPF_PROBE_MEM one.

Before f2362a57ae ("bpf: allow void* cast using bpf_rdonly_cast()")
the merge only accepted two PTR_TO_BTF_ID pointers and unconditionally
fell back to PTR_TO_BTF_ID | PTR_UNTRUSTED, so the merged type was always
one that gets the BPF_PROBE_MEM rewrite. However, the mentioned commit
widened the merge to also cover a PTR_TO_MEM base and replaced the
fallback by a union of the PTR_UNTRUSTED and MEM_RDONLY flags.

A union of flags though cannot express the property the later rewrite
is built upon, some examples:

  - PTR_TO_MEM merged with PTR_TO_BTF_ID | PTR_UNTRUSTED gets
    PTR_TO_MEM | PTR_UNTRUSTED but only the MEM_RDONLY variant is valid
  - PTR_TO_MEM merged with a plain PTR_TO_BTF_ID gets PTR_TO_MEM
    dropping the rewrite the latter type would have gotten
  - PTR_TO_MEM | MEM_RDONLY merged with a plain PTR_TO_BTF_ID gets
    PTR_TO_MEM | MEM_RDONLY which is not rewritten either since only
    its PTR_UNTRUSTED variant is

In all three cases a program can take the unsafe path at runtime with a
NULL or otherwise bad pointer and panic the kernel on the faulting load:

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000038
  RIP: 0010:bpf_prog_77531a87032eeaf1_mixed_mem_btf_id_type+0x4b/0x65

  Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

Note that the last two shapes have to be fixed right here, otherwise
the merged type retains nothing which marks the load as fault prone,
thus no rule in bpf_convert_ctx_accesses() can recover it. Fix it by

Reuse it in is_load_acq_unsafe() to avoid open coding, and trim the

4bc49ae344 bpf: Check pointer type for all atomic RMW paths
Atomic RMW verification records an instruction pointer type only when the
current destination is PTR_TO_ARENA. A second path can therefore reach the
same instruction with an ordinary pointer without comparing it against the
saved arena type.

The post-verification fixup uses the saved type to rewrite the instruction
to BPF_PROBE_ATOMIC for every path. Record the actual destination type for
all atomic RMW paths so the existing mismatch check rejects incompatible
uses of one instruction.

d023aa69c3 sched_ext: Drop the dead SCX_DEQ_CORE_SCHED_EXEC test in dequeue_task_scx()
dequeue_task_scx() masks SCX_DEQ_CORE_SCHED_EXEC out of the
SCX_DEQ_SCHED_CHANGE decision, but the test can never fire: the incoming
flags are an int of generic DEQUEUE_* bits while the flag is bit 32, and the
core-sched execute path never goes through class dequeue anyway -
set_next_task_scx() calls ops_dequeue() with the flag directly. The test was
live when the SCX_DEQ_SCHED_CHANGE computation sat in ops_dequeue() and
became dead when 03f5304aad ("sched_ext: Pass full dequeue flags to
ops.quiescent()") moved the computation here. Drop it.

006dd4d04b sched_ext: Make core-sched task ordering hierarchy-aware
With sub-schedulers, tasks of different schedulers routinely share rqs and
SMT siblings, but scx_prio_less() consults ops.core_sched_before() only when
both tasks belong to the same scheduler. Every pair spanning two schedulers
falls back to the default ordering, so no scheduler can express ordering
across a scheduler boundary, including a root over its sub-schedulers'
tasks.

Order a pair spanning schedulers by the nearest common ancestor that
implements ops.core_sched_before(): both tasks are in its subtree, making
this the one op where a scheduler is called on tasks it delegated to its
sub-schedulers and may not be scheduling anymore. Same-scheduler pairs keep
using the owning scheduler's op so a parent never orders inside a subtree it
delegated. The op is skipped when the deciding scheduler is bypassing on
either task's CPU.

Update scx_qmap to fall back to the kernel's default ordering when handed a
delegated task it has no task_ctx for.

0ec5dd0669 sched_ext: Use runnable_at for the default core-sched task ordering
The default core-sched ordering runs the longest waiting task first by
comparing p->scx.core_sched_at stamps. The stamp is maintained under two
rules. touch_core_sched() stamps when a task starts waiting for a CPU and
when its slice runs out. If the scheduler implements
ops.core_sched_before(), touch_core_sched_dispatch() re-stamps on every
dispatch.

A comparison can see one stamp taken under each rule, which isn't a
meaningful ordering. The dispatch rule also buys little - it only aligns
bypass-mode comparisons with the local DSQ order. Multiple schedulers make
the mixed comparisons more common.

Wait time is what p->scx.runnable_at already tracks for the stall watchdog.
Delete core_sched_at with both touch functions and compare runnable_at in
the scx_prio_less() fallback.

runnable_at is refreshed only on enqueue and goes stale while a task keeps
occupying its CPU. Instead of re-stamping, order a running task after every
waiting task as it is the most recently serviced.

f7b6d128dd sched_ext: Fix inverted ops.core_sched_before() invocation
scx_prio_less() implements prio_less() semantics - %true means that @a is
the lower priority and should run after @b. ops.core_sched_before() is
documented to return %true when @a should run before @b. scx_prio_less()
returns the op's value as-is, inverting the documented semantics at runtime.

Call the op with the arguments swapped.

scx_qmap followed the wiring instead of the documentation and returned %true
for the younger task, so the two inversions canceled out and it behaved as
intended. Flip its comparison to match. scx_qmap is likely the only current
user in or out of the kernel tree. Any scheduler written the same way needs
the same flip, while schedulers following the documentation are fixed by
this change.

bde0238083 futex: Fix race on the initial mm->futex.phash.ref allocation
futex_hash_allocate() allocates mm->futex.phash.ref without any locking.
Commit d9b05321e2 ("futex: Move futex_hash_free() back to __mmput()")
moved the allocation here and assumed that the process has just a single
thread at this point.

Commit ee9dce4436 ("futex: Drop CLONE_THREAD requirement for private
default hash alloc") widened need_futex_hash_allocate_default() to cover
any CLONE_VM clone, but left out vfork because the parent is suspended and
cannot race.

That no longer holds once vfork is nested. If a vfork child calls vfork
again and is then killed with SIGKILL, the parent is released from its
vfork wait and runs concurrently with the grandchild in the same mm.
Neither of them went through futex_hash_allocate_default().

When both call prctl(PR_FUTEX_HASH, PR_FUTEX_HASH_SET_SLOTS) at the same
time, each one sees mm->futex.phash.ref as NULL and stores its own percpu
counter. Only the last store survives. The counter stored first is no
longer reachable from the mm, so the references on it are not seen by
__futex_ref_atomic_end(). A private hash that still has references is then
considered dead and freed, and a task that still holds one of its buckets
writes into freed memory in futex_q_lock().

Store the counter once with cmpxchg() and let the loser free_percpu() its
own. The initial reference has to be taken before the store, otherwise
another task can install a private hash while the counter is still 0.

c5f0bc9fd1 futex/pi: Plug private futex exec() race
The check for private futexes whether the waiter's mm, which is stored in
the futex_key and copied into the pi_state, is the same as the owner's mm
is not sufficient for exec(). exec() has a gap where the mm check fails to
give the correct answer:

  exec()
  ...
    exec_release_mm()
      futex_exec_release()
        tsk::futex::exit_state = EXITING;
        cleanup_robust_list();
1)      tsk::futex::exit_state = OK;
    ...
    old_mm = tsk::mm;
2)  tsk::mm = ->mm;

Between #1 and #2 the check for the mm is wrong as that mm is about to be
swapped out and eventually freed.

Plug this gap by:

  1) Setting tsk::futex::exit_state to FUTEX_STATE_DEAD in
     futex_exec_release()

  2) Setting tsk::futex::exit_state to FUTEX_STATE_OK after
     the mm has been switched.

From a futex point of view the task is dead after it finished the robust
list cleanup up to the point where it sets the state to OK again.

7ae4eb14c5 bpf: Add ksock kfuncs
Add BPF kfuncs that allow BPF LSM programs to create and use sockets for
sending data. This provides a mechanism for BPF programs to emit
telemetry. For this first patch set, it's restricted to SOCK_DGRAM
socket types with IPPROTO_UDP protocol but could be easily extended to
SOCK_STREAM and IPPROTO_TCP in the future.

The API consists of five kfuncs:

  bpf_ksock_create()   - Create a socket (sleepable)
  bpf_ksock_connect()  - Connect socket to remote address (sleepable)
  bpf_ksock_send()     - Send data through the socket (sleepable)
  bpf_ksock_acquire()  - Acquire a reference to a socket context
  bpf_ksock_release()  - Release a reference (cleanup via
                         queue_rcu_work since sock_release sleeps)

The setup kfuncs bpf_ksock_create, bpf_ksock_connect, can be called from
SYSCALL programs only. While bpf_ksock_acquire, bpf_ksock_release and
bpf_ksock_send can be called from SYSCALL and LSM programs.

The implementation follows the established kfunc lifecycle pattern
(create/acquire/release with refcounting, kptr map storage, dtor
registration). The kernel socket is wrapped in a refcounted bpf_ksock
struct. Cleanup is deferred via queue_rcu_work() because sock_release()
may sleep.

The kfuncs are only compiled when CONFIG_INET is enabled, as they
specifically support AF_INET and AF_INET6 sockets.

The socket operations go through the expected LSM hooks instead of
by-passing them like many kernel sockets since those are created by BPF
programs and thus system users. Thus, the bpf_ksock_send() kfunc, which
is exposed to LSM progs has a verifier filter protection to avoid
recursion so that the whole bpf_kfunc_set kfunc set cannot be called in
a program attached to security_socket_sendmsg(). Also, because of the
LSM checks, we prevent the use of the kfuncs from asynchronous workqueue
as the current value would then be invalid.

In bpf_ksock_create(), we copy the arg values to avoid TOCTOU races
since the kfunc can sleep and the arg values could be stored in a map
that could be re-written by BPF progs or even userspace programs if the
map is mmaped.

stack so register-scoped history can follow value flow through spilled stack
slots.

daf8248701 bpf: Add verifier diagnostic event log
Add an environment-owned diagnostic history for verifier reports. Event
payloads keep the user-facing branch history shape, while storage lives
in bpf_verifier_env and follows the active verifier path.

Grow the event array geometrically up to a 64 MiB limit. Once storage
reaches the limit, or an allocation fails, overwrite the oldest event so
diagnostics retain the newest useful suffix without adding per-event
metadata.

Represent saved positions as absolute logical sequence numbers. A restore
truncates to a retained position. If its prefix has already been evicted,
clear the abandoned suffix and preserve the missing-history position. This
keeps marks stable across rotation without increasing their size.

Add the branch event renderer and branch recording.

Wrap annotation text under the source line so long error labels remain

3bff8f8e95 cpufreq: schedutil: Fix rate limit overflow
rate_limit_us is an unsigned int, while NSEC_PER_USEC is defined as
1000L. On 32-bit systems, the multiplication is therefore performed
using 32-bit unsigned arithmetic before the result is assigned to
freq_update_delay_ns.

For example, writing 4294968 to rate_limit_us wraps the delay from
4294968000 ns to 704 ns. This makes schedutil update far more often
than configured.

Add sugov_update_rate_limit_us() to widen rate_limit_us to s64 before
converting it to nanoseconds. Use the helper when updating the tunable
through sysfs and when starting the governor, so both paths perform the
conversion without overflow.

kick_sync_wait_bal_cb() assumes it runs on the rq's CPU from the

However, dispatch can now drop the rq lock while the callback sits queued,
and rq lock takers in that window (the sched class change paths, the scx
task iterator) flush pending balance callbacks on release, running the
callback on a foreign CPU. Such a run compares against unrelated snapshots
and can deadlock when the executing CPU is itself a wait target.

Bail on a foreign CPU and leave the wait state alone. The wait only observes
progress that the resched kicks already guarantee and the rq's next wait
picks up the stale cpus_to_sync bits.

scx_root_disable() invalidates each rq's clock before taking the rq lock.
scx_rq_clock_invalidate() is a plain read-modify-write of rq->scx.flags and
every other writer of the word runs under the rq lock, so the unlocked
update can race a concurrent flags update and lose one side's bits.

The invalidation doesn't matter in the first place. The cached clock is read
only by scx_bpf_now() from a loaded scheduler's BPF programs, nothing can
re-validate the clock while sched_ext is disabled as scx_rq_clock_update()
is gated on scx_enabled() too, and the usual rq lock cycles under the next
scheduler refresh or invalidate it before it's practically observable. Drop
the invalidation instead of fixing the locking.

v2: Description and comment updated - the invalidation is unnecessary rather
    than subsumed by the rq lock cycle below.

f5b57e9e9c bpf: Populate mmap-able array map memory lazily
An mmap-able BPF array map (BPF_F_MMAPABLE) has its backing memory
vmalloc'ed up front at map creation time. array_map_mmap() then wired up
the whole mapping eagerly via remap_vmalloc_range(), which calls
vm_insert_page() for every page of the map. For large maps this makes
every mmap() O(number of pages): an 8MiB map inserts 2048 PTEs per
mmap() and tears them all down again on munmap(), even when user space
only touches a few pages (or none at all).

Populate the mapping lazily instead, the same way the arena map already
does. array_map_mmap() now only performs the bounds check and returns,
leaving the PTEs unpopulated; pages are inserted on demand by a new
array_map_mmap_fault() handler. Because the memory is already resident,
the fault handler simply resolves the vmalloc page and hands it to the
fault path. This makes mmap() O(1), and munmap() proportional to the
number of pages that were actually faulted in rather than to the size of
the map.

The handler is reached through a new optional ->map_mmap_fault callback.
Maps that provide it get a vm_operations_struct with a .fault handler;
maps that populate their mapping eagerly keep the one they had. Both
share the same open/close callbacks, so the existing VMA accounting
(VM_MAYWRITE write-active tracking, freeze handling) stays centralized
rather than each map installing its own vm_operations_struct.

Callers that want the pages populated up front can still request that
explicitly with MAP_POPULATE. Kernel-side access to the map (via the
vmalloc address) is unaffected.

Time for one mmap()+munmap() of an 8MiB mmap-able array map:

                                       before     after
  no MAP_POPULATE, no access            226us     1.1us
  no MAP_POPULATE, access all pages     236us    1341us
  MAP_POPULATE, no access               312us     493us
  MAP_POPULATE, access all pages        318us     519us

Mapping without touching the data, which is what this change targets,
gets ~160x cheaper. Faulting in the whole mapping one page at a time is
more expensive than the eager remap_vmalloc_range() loop, so users that
do touch every page should ask for MAP_POPULATE. Note that MAP_POPULATE
is not free before this change either: it adds ~85us (226us => 312us)
for no benefit, as the mapping is already fully populated.

3f611e9b82 bpf: Fix available-data accounting on 32-bit wrap in overwrite mode
In overwrite mode ringbuf_avail_data_sz() picks the newer of the consumer
and overwrite positions before measuring how much data is available:

	return prod_pos - max(cons_pos, over_pos);

max() is an ordering comparison, and consumer_pos, producer_pos and
overwrite_pos are unsigned long, i.e. 32-bit on 32-bit architectures,
where Documentation/bpf/ringbuf.rst allows them to wrap. Once one of the
two positions has wrapped and the other has not, max() returns the older
one: the result is then a modular difference close to 2^32, so the
function reports far more available data than the ring can hold. Pollers
using BPF_RB_AVAIL_DATA get a bogus figure, and epoll consumers can be
woken with nothing to read.

Compare distances rather than positions. prod_pos - X is the amount of
data produced since X for either position, wrap or no wrap, so the newer
position is simply the one with the smaller distance, which is also the
value the function wants to return.

64-bit hosts are unaffected in practice: their counters would need
16 EiB to wrap. Found by review of the same class of bug fixed in
"bpf: Fix pending_pos walk on 32-bit ring position wrap".

6ff5b56a50 bpf: Fix pending_pos walk on 32-bit ring position wrap
The reservation path caches the position of the oldest not-yet-committed
record in rb->pending_pos and advances it past already committed records
on every reservation:

	while (pend_pos < prod_pos) {

consumer_pos, producer_pos and pending_pos are unsigned long, i.e.
32-bit on 32-bit architectures, and Documentation/bpf/ringbuf.rst states
that these counters may wrap around there. Every other comparison in the
file is written as a difference, so modular arithmetic keeps them
correct across the wrap. This one is an ordering comparison, and it is
not wrap-safe.

Once producer_pos wraps past 2^32, prod_pos is small while pend_pos
still holds its pre-wrap value, so the loop condition is false and
pending_pos is never advanced again. Reservations keep succeeding for a
while, because bpf_ringbuf_has_space() uses differences, but
new_prod_pos - pend_pos grows as the producer advances, and once it
exceeds rb->mask every subsequent __bpf_ringbuf_reserve() call fails:
the kernel believes a pending record spans the whole buffer. The ring
never recovers, bpf_ringbuf_output() drops every event from then on, and
nothing is logged.

Observed on four armv7 devices (i.MX7 Dual, 6.6.52) running a
tracepoint-based collector with a 512 KiB ring and 160-byte records.
Every one of them stopped delivering after exactly 26846821 records and
4295491360 bytes had passed through the ring, at event rates between 441
and 862 records/s, that is after 8 h to 17 h of uptime: the trigger is
the byte count, not time or load. That figure is 2^32 plus 524064 bytes,
and the excess is one ring's worth of grace period, as expected while
new_prod_pos - pend_pos is still below rb->mask. The last reservation
that fits is the largest record boundary X with X + 160 <= 524287, and
since 2^32 mod 160 = 96 the boundaries after the wrap sit at
X = 64 (mod 160), giving X = 524064. Userspace kept consuming normally
until the producer stopped, then read zero records for good. With this
patch applied, one of the four devices took 10 GiB through the same ring
with no stall, while the three unpatched ones kept wedging at the same
byte count.

64-bit hosts are unaffected in practice: their counters would need
16 EiB to wrap.

Compare the two positions as a difference instead. pending_pos never
runs ahead of producer_pos, so the unsigned difference is the real
distance between them and stays correct across the wrap.

75a88fe00b rcutorture: Add nwriters module parameter
Believe it or not, there are people who would like to run rcutorture
without actually torturing RCU.  For example, some people would like to
induce various types of stall warnings without placing any unnecessary
additional overhead on their systems running in production.  And
rcutorture provides the stall_cpu, stall_cpu_holdoff, stall_no_softlockup,
stall_cpu_irqsoff, stall_cpu_block, and stall_cpu_repeat module parameters
in order to allow the user to force numerous types of stalls.  In addition,
rcutorture provides a great number of other module parameters to allow the
user to reduce other overhead.

But unfortunately, there is no way to turn of the rcu_torture_writer()
portion of this torture test, which on my x86 laptop consumes somewhere
between 40% and 45% of a CPU.  Although this is quite lightweight for a
torture test, it is not welcome on systems running production workloads.
This commit therefore adds an nwriters module parameter that defaults
to 1 but can be set to 0 in order to disable the rcu_torture_writer()
portion of the torture test, but that cannot be set to any other value
(that is what the fakewriters module parameter is for!).  This reduces
the overhead to well under 1% of a CPU, which is much more likely to be
compatible with production workloads.

f424566105 rcutorture: Use cpumask_next_wrap() in rcu_torture_preempt()
The rcu_torture_preempt() function uses cpumask_next(), and if that
returns an out-of-bounds result, re-invokes cpumask_next() on -1.
Which is exactly what cpumask_next_wrap() does.  This commit therefore
saves a couple of lines by instead using cpumask_next_wrap().

This was reported by metacode when asked to look for opportunities
to use cpumask_next_wrap() in kernel/rcu.

5ac693414b rcutorture: Test RCU readers from hardware interrupt handlers
Although rcutorture has long had the irqreader module parameter, this
parameter results only in RCU readers in softirq handlers, specifically,
timers.  This commit therefore uses smp_call_function_single() to test
RCU readers in real hardware interrupt handlers, thus providing the full
effect from the irqreader module parameter.

However, consistency/debug checks must account for the possibility that
the smp_call_function_single() handler function is directly invoked
from the idle loop, in which case, for example, in_hardirq() will
return false.  This commit uses a per-CPU variable to record being in
the rcu_torture_irq() smp_call_function_single() handler function.

50df5afa6d rcutorture: Check for immediate deboosting at reader end
This commit adds a check for failure to have fully deboosted a
multi-segmented RCU reader at the end of the full read-side critical
section.  This check only happens for fully task-level readers, because
a a handler might have interrupted an already-boosted task-level RCU
reader, and a reader in that handler could then cause false positives.
The first failed check (due to an RCU reader that was not immediately
deboosted) causes a splat, but only when the disabled-by-default
deboost_timeliness_check module parameter is enabled.  Regardless of the
value of this parameter, it produces a list of the segments making up that
RCU reader following a "Slow-deboost rcutorture reader segments" heading.
Subsequent failures fail silently, all in the name of keeping console
output down to a dull roar.

Although most uses of RCU priority boosting serve as debugging aids,
this might change, and in fact might already have changed.  And allowing
(for example) RCU priority boosting to persist until the next scheduler
tick could cause an aggressively real-time system to miss sub-millisecond
deadlines.  So we do need to find this sort of problem during testing,
and preferably not in the field.

The name and type of the newly added rcu_torture_ops function pointer
(named "->is_task_rcu_boosted()") may need to change should other
end-of-reader checks be needed.  But let's start simple.

Oh, and Claude figured out that rcu_is_task_rcu_boosted() could be
lockless.  Perhaps there is hope for AI yet!  ;-)

d7832ba1a4 sched_ext: Set up ops.sub_ecaps_updated() dispatch context on the executing CPU
scx_process_sync_ecaps() sets up the dispatch context for
ops.sub_ecaps_updated() in the target cpu's pcpu context recovered from the
llist node. However, the context is per executing cpu: the dispatch kfuncs
resolve it with this_cpu_ptr() and the dispatch buffer lives in it. What the
dispatches target is determined by the rq recorded in the context, not by
which cpu's context it is. Under core scheduling the pick runs balance_one()
for sibling rqs, so a sync processed for a sibling invokes the op with the
executing cpu's context not set up and its dispatch kfuncs misoperate on a
NULL or stale rq.

Set up the executing cpu's dsp_ctx instead, matching scx_dispatch_sched().
The recorded rq keeps the dispatches targeting the synced cpu.

However, notice it is hardly making any difference for trace_marker
because of the TRACE_MARKER_MAX_SIZE limit. For an 8KiB subbuf size,
trace_marker can take 4096 characters while it can 'only' take 4054

e743527c5b ring-buffer: Fix subbuf resize race with ring_buffer_alloc_read_page()
ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() is racy with ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set,
it can allocate a reader page with an outdated order. This isn't a big
issue, the user can still re-allocate a new reader page and try again.

However, what is more problematic is if the value of subbuf_order
changes in the middle of ring_buffer_alloc_read_page(). In that case,
bpage->order might not match the actual allocated memory.

Use bpage->order for the allocation to prevent this race.

8a5f636378 ring-buffer: Fix subbuf resize race with ring buffer readers
trace_buffer subbuf_size is read lockless in ring_buffer_read_page() and

ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set().

Instead of trace_buffer::subbuf_size, use bpage::order in
ring_buffer_read_start() and ring_buffer_read_page().

In ring_buffer_read_start(), even with resize_disabled, there is still a
possibility of a race with a buffer modification. Hold the trace_buffer
mutex to synchronise with any pending ring buffer order modification.

trace_buffer::subbuf_size is now actually useless, remove it. Also,
create accessors rb_subbuf_capacity() and rb_page_capacity() which
return the actual size available for storing events, while
rb_subbuf_size() returns the actual subbuf page-size.

7a1fb95de5 ring-buffer: Make cpu_buffer::free_page a buffer_data_read_page
Discarding a cached reader page after a concurrent ring buffer resize
uses the new global subbuf_order for the free_pages() call. This
mismatched order may crashes the kernel or leaks memory because the cached
page was allocated under the old size.

Save the actual free_page order alongside the page address to ensure we
always refer to the correct value and do not rely on the potentially
stalled cpu_buffer->subbuf_order value. The simplest is to make
free_page a buffer_data_read_page which already covers exactly what we
need: a page address and a page order.

Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner:

 - Don't warn when a mount is completed from another user namespace.

   fsopen() records the caller's user namespace in fc->user_ns and
   hands back an ordinary file descriptor. The task that calls
   fsconfig(FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE) doesn't have to be the one that
   created the context, and mount_capable() lets it through as long
   as the caller has CAP_SYS_ADMIN over fc->user_ns, which anyone in
   an ancestor namespace does. So fc->user_ns != current_user_ns()
   is something an unprivileged user can arrange.

   Both overlayfs and binfmt_misc WARN_ON() that. Overlayfs already
   has the same check as a plain error return in ovl_parse_param().

   Drop the WARN_ON() and just refuse. Add selftests for both cases.

 - Reject pid allocations through dead ancestor pid namespaces.

   Require PIDNS_ADDING in every namespace that will receive the pid
   before publishing any of them. That preserves the invariant that
   free_pid() never decrements pid_allocated in a namespace whose
   child_reaper is no longer live. The existing ENOMEM behavior is
   unchanged.

68e3748781 sched/fair: Fix flat hierarchy
When a fair task is enqueued, we must update curr and more precisely
its vruntime before placing the enqueued task so avg vruntime will take
into account the last exec phase.

Example:
TA is an always running task in cgroup G0.
TB is a short running task (cyclictest) in cgroup G1.
The lag of TB always increases up the clamp limit because TB is placed
before TA(curr) is updated (since the last tick). When curr(TA) is
finally updated, its last exec phase provide positive lag to TB

Because TA and TB don't belong to the same group, enqueue_hierarchy() will not
update TA's entity when updating curr but only G0's entity at root level.

The same applies when dequeuing.

This is because update_curr() uses ->h_curr, rather than ->curr, and therefore,
while it is invoked on the root cfs_rq, which contains all the eevdf bits, it
does not do the right thing.

The function trace_event_update_all() does a scan of events looking to
replace enums with their values in the strings that get exported to the
event format files. It's run at boot up on all events and again when a
module loads.

The issue is that when a module loads, it still runs on *all* events.
There's no reason to process every event when a module loads as the
previous events have already been processed. Only execute on the events
that are loaded with the module.

taskstats_user_cmd() only calls the cpumask handlers after checking the

subprog_info, func_info, and func_info_aux. Dead code elimination can
remove whole subprograms, and adjust_subprog_starts_after_remove()
shifts subprog_info and func_info to close the gap, but leaves
func_info_aux in place. From that point on, func_info_aux[i] no longer
describes subprogram i.

Shift func_info_aux together with func_info so the three arrays stay

b69859204d tracing: Fix NULL pointer dereference in module event cache removal
A module-only event filter such as ":mod:foo" is cached with a NULL
event_mod->match when foo has not been loaded. If a later write tries to
remove a specific match from the same module, remove_cache_mod() passes
the NULL cached match to strcmp(), causing a NULL pointer dereference.

The issue can be reproduced from userspace:

  echo ':mod:trace_events_kunit_missing' > /sys/kernel/tracing/set_event
  echo '!foo_bar:mod:trace_events_kunit_missing' >> /sys/kernel/tracing/set_event

The second write must be a concatenation (">>") to not include O_TRUNC as
that would cause ftrace_clear_events() to clear the cached modules lines.

The crash was reproduced on x86_64 QEMU while KUnit workers contended on
the event tracing path:

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
  #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
  RIP: 0010:strcmp+0x10/0x30
  Call Trace:

   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f

Check event_mod->match before comparing it, consistent with the existing
NULL checks for the cached system and event fields. The mismatched removal
continues to return -EINVAL; a broad cached module filter is removed with
"!:mod:<module>".

6e61f4f8b0 bpf: Introduce global percpu data
Introduce global percpu data, inspired by the commit
6316f78306 ("Merge branch 'support-global-data'"). It enables the
definition of global percpu variables in BPF, similar to the
include/linux/percpu-defs.h::DEFINE_PER_CPU() macro.

For example, in BPF, it is able to define a global percpu variable like:

int data SEC(".percpu");

With this patch, tools like retsnoop [1] and bpfsnoop [2] can simplify
their BPF code for handling LBRs. The code can be updated from

static struct perf_branch_entry lbrs[1][MAX_LBR_ENTRIES] SEC(".data.lbrs");

to

static struct perf_branch_entry lbrs[MAX_LBR_ENTRIES] SEC(".percpu.lbrs");

This eliminates the need to retrieve the CPU ID using the
bpf_get_smp_processor_id() helper.

Additionally, by reusing global percpu data map, sharing information
between tail callers and callees or freplace callers and callees becomes
simpler compared to reusing percpu_array maps.

20a80e7f6b workqueue: annotate racy p->wake_cpu accesses in kick_pool_pick()

The race is harmless. wake_cpu is a best-effort placement hint: every

they are intentionally racy and to stop the compiler from reloading or

2b58c749b8 sched/isolation: Defer freeing of cpumask memblock memory to initcall
When testing a linux-next kernel with commit 59bd1d914b ("memblock:
warn when freeing reserved memory before memory map is initialized"),
the following warning was hit when there was a "nohz_full" kernel boot
parameter.

  Cannot free reserved memory because of deferred initialization of the memory map
  WARNING: mm/memblock.c:904 at __free_reserved_area+0xde/0xf0, CPU#0: swapper/0/0

   </TASK>

IOW, we shouldn't free memblock allocated memory so early
in the boot process when memory map isn't fully initialized in
deferred_init_memmap().

Fix it by saving the housekeeping cpumask memblock memory to be
freed into a llist free list in housekeeping_init() and add a new
housekeeping_late_init() helper to defer the actual freeing of memblock
memory to when initcall's are being processed. The cpumask memblock
memory is treated as a llist_node with the size of a "long" type which
is also smallest cpumask size that can be allocated.

The non-atomic version of the llist APIs are used as there is no
contention.

This commit depends on the presence of commit 7c2eee9c13 ("memblock:
don't touch memblock arrays when memblock_free() is called late")
to prevent a KASAN UAF bug report [1].

121f9fd1c3 dma/swiotlb: decouple high watermark tracking from CONFIG_DEBUG_FS
Under heavy concurrent DMA traffic on CoCo VMs, inc_used_and_hiwater()
performs an atomic_long_add_return() plus a CAS loop on the global
used_hiwater, and dec_used() performs an atomic_long_sub() on total_used.
All CPUs contend on the same cacheline, causing measurable throughput
degradation at scale.

Historically these counters were only compiled in under CONFIG_DEBUG_FS,
which means production kernels with debugfs paid the atomic overhead
unconditionally. Make the tracking boot-time opt-in instead so that it
is disabled by default with near-zero overhead via static_call, and can
be enabled via "swiotlb=track_hiwater" parameter on demand for debugging.

Note that when CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is enabled but hiwater tracking is disabled,
the "io_tlb_used" metric reports an approximate value rather than an
instantaneously exact one.

bpf: Eliminate dup/restore of insn_aux_data
The dup/restore of insn_aux_data was introduced to resolve the
inconsistency between insnsi and insn_aux_data arrays, which occurs
on the failure path where insnsi was rolled back to the original
state before constants blinding, while insn_aux_data was not.

After JIT failure, there is only one user, bpf_clear_insn_aux_data(),
that requires insnsi and insn_aux_data to be synchronized. It accesses
both insnsi and insn_aux_data using the same array size and index.

However, the access to insnsi in bpf_clear_insn_aux_data() is not
necessary. It is checked to skip the second slot of an ldimm64 instruction,
whose jt is never set and can be absorbed into the jt check itself.

So remove the access to insnsi from bpf_clear_insn_aux_data(), and add a
specific length field for insn_aux_data to allow it to have a different
length from the insnsi array. Then remove dup/restore of insn_aux_data.

c2e6c7de88 bpf: Show more useful info in stack depth stats
Stack depth statistics list captured depths in subprogram-number order,
while per-verification instruction counts are reported separately. Since
libbpf determines subprogram numbers, it is hard to associate either
statistic with its subprogram name or see where verifier work is spent.

Now that self and inclusive instruction counts are available for every
subprogram, keep the combined maximum stack depth on its own line and print
one uniform record for each subprogram. Represent the main program as
subprog 0, then classify each record as main, global, or static before
reporting insns_self, insns_total, and stack depth.

The aggregate processed count is the sum of all self counts, while each
total shows verifier work rooted at that subprogram.

When no subprogram name is available, print <unknown>. Keep the existing
aggregate "processed ... insns" record unchanged for compatibility.

6137fb7c5f bpf: Attribute async callback instructions to verification roots
Asynchronous callbacks are explored as fresh frame-zero verifier states,
so normal callee-to-caller accounting cannot propagate their instruction
budget to the main or global subprogram whose verification scheduled them.

The callback exploration still happens within the same do_check_common()
invocation as that independent verification root. Record
env->insn_processed at do_check_common() entry and override the root's
inclusive count with the delta before returning. This includes all directly
and transitively scheduled asynchronous callbacks in the root's total
without maintaining a separate accounting call stack.

Static subprogram and callback totals remain local to their synchronous call
paths. Their self counts continue to account for each processed instruction
exactly once.

14c950ac2b bpf: Track verifier instruction stats for each subprogram
The verifier currently records one instruction count for the main program
and each global subprogram checked independently. Static subprograms are
explored within callers, so their verification cost cannot be reported
separately.

Track both self and inclusive instruction counts for every subprogram.
Charge each processed instruction as self work to the current subprogram and
to a path-local subtotal in its function frame. When a function returns, add
the callee subtotal to its inclusive count and to its parent subtotal. Fold
any remaining frames when a path terminates or is pruned.

Instruction subtotals are accounting state, not semantic verifier state.
Clear them when a verifier state is copied so work before a path fork is
charged once, rather than again when a saved branch is explored. If copying
a saved state fails before all frames are allocated, skip missing frames
while folding the current path.

This generic frame accounting also records self and inclusive totals when an
asynchronous callback starts as a fresh frame-zero state. It does not yet
charge that independently explored callback path back to the main or global
exploration root which scheduled it. That will be done in subsequent
changes.

This does not change the verification statistics output format. It only
prepares the counters for per-subprogram reporting.

783f0f0974 audit: avoid dropping live tree ref on fsnotify rule autoremove
audit_del_rule() is used for both netlink deletion templates and internal
fsnotify autoremove.  The former passes a parsed template which owns a
temporary tree reference; the latter passes the installed entry itself.

The unconditional audit_put_tree() at the end of audit_del_rule() assumes
the template case.  For mixed AUDIT_DIR plus AUDIT_EXE rules, an fsnotify
autoremove event therefore drops the installed rule's live tree reference.
Repeating this across rules sharing the same tree can free the tree while
another rule still references it, and a later autoremove dereferences the
freed pathname while comparing rules.

Move the temporary-tree put to audit_rule_change(), the caller that owns
deletion templates.  Keep it in the AUDIT_DEL_RULE cleanup so both
successful deletion and -ENOENT still release the parser-owned tree.

a05c5b5cb5 sched_ext: Convert scx_bpf_cid_override() to __arena array arguments
scx_bpf_cid_override() predates the cid-form arena transition and takes its
arrays as verifier-checked mem+size buffers, forcing scx_qmap to keep the
cpu_to_cid and shard_start arrays in writable bss while the rest of its
state lives in the arena. Unify on arena arguments before cid-form
schedulers start seeing real use.

BPF now translates between BPF and kernel arena addresses for __arena
arguments. Take the arrays as __arena arguments, with the counts passed in
entries. The counts now size the snapshot copies and are bounds-checked
before them.

scx_qmap moves the arrays into struct qmap_arena. As the arena is mmapped at
load, the loader populates them between load and attach instead of before
load.

0c09d1ad81 sched_ext: Gate cid kfuncs behind the SCX struct_ops check
scx_bpf_cid_to_cpu(), scx_bpf_cpu_to_cid() and scx_bpf_cid_topo() live in
the scx_kfunc_ids_cid set, but scx_kfunc_context_filter() doesn't check
that set. The filter's first test treats any kfunc outside its known sets
as non-SCX and allows it, so these three kfuncs can be called from any
struct_ops program - e.g. a TCP congestion control program.

Add scx_kfunc_ids_cid to the filter's known sets, matching how in_any and
in_idle are handled.

41c5dbb4be bpf: Derive the atomic load register in one place
check_atomic_rmw() open codes the mapping from a BPF_ATOMIC to the register
it reads the old value into, the BPF_STX case of insn_def_regno() open codes
the very same mapping a second time, the const folding and the liveness
transfer functions a third and a fourth time, and BPF JITs need it as well
to know which register a faulting BPF_PROBE_ATOMIC has to clear.

Add a small helper so that all of them can share it. No functional change.
The BPF_LOAD_ACQ case is there for the JITs, which do walk all instruction
classes. const_reg_xfer() loses its explicit BPF_ATOMIC mode test since the
helper checks class and mode itself; the BPF_PROBE_ATOMIC it additionally
accepts cannot be seen there as it is only set from bpf_do_misc_fixups(),
that is, after const folding has run. arg_track_xfer() keeps its mode test
since that also guards the stack clearing next to it.

4e0ee51cc2 workqueue: BUG_ON() instead of returning NULL in wq_node_nr_active()
wq_node_nr_active() warns and returns NULL when @wq is not unbound, but
every caller dereferences the result right away, so the WARN_ON_ONCE()
only moves the oops one frame up, as raised by Tejun.

Fix it by BUGing_ON() instead of this silly WARN_ON_ONCE();

1d125f0e6c workqueue: use RCU accessors when populating wq->cpu_pwq
wq->cpu_pwq holds RCU-protected pwq pointers, but the percpu allocation
path fills it in with plain loads and stores, which sparse flags:

  kernel/workqueue.c:5682:57: sparse: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces) @@     expected struct pool_workqueue **pwq_p @@     got struct pool_workqueue [noderef] __rcu ** @@

Allocate the array as __rcu pointers and publish each pwq with
rcu_assign_pointer() once it is initialized and linked, the order
install_unbound_pwq() uses.

The warnings are not new: commit 79f23600bc ("workqueue: factor out
get_percpu_pool()") only turned the flagged assignment into an
initializer.

7aef540078 workqueue: use rcu_dereference_sched() in workqueue_congested()
workqueue_congested() fetches the pwq out of wq->cpu_pwq with a plain
load, so sparse complains about the dropped __rcu:

  kernel/workqueue.c:6304:13: sparse: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces) @@     expected struct pool_workqueue *pwq @@     got struct pool_workqueue [noderef] __rcu * @@

A pwq is released with kfree_rcu() and the read is protected by the
surrounding preempt_disable(), which is what
commit fd5081f4ef ("workqueue: Remove redundant rcu_read_lock/unlock() in
workqueue_congested()") relied on when it dropped the rcu_read_lock()
here.

Use the rcu_dereference_sched() helper to make that explicit.
