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.

- "mm/memory-failure: add panic option for unrecoverable pages" (Breno
Leitao)
Introduce 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
- "mm/damon: refactor damon_{start,stop,commit}() for simple error
handling" (SJ Park)
Refactor 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
- "Keep tail page private zero at free and folio split" (Zi Yan)
Add 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()
- "mm: drop redundant lru_add_drain in anon folio reuse paths" (Barry
Song)
Eliminate 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
- "mm: clean up folio LRU and swap declarations" (Jianyue Wu)
Reorganize 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.
- "userfaultfd: working set tracking for VM guest memory" (Kiryl
Shutsemau)
Add 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
- "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part 2)" (David
Hildenbrand)
Remove the remaining pieces of CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE,
performing some smaller cleanups around freeing of reserved vmemmap
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.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/sched_ext
Pull sched_ext updates from Tejun Heo:
"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.
Other fixes and updates:
- 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"

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
- Attach path bug fixes: migrations spanning multiple source or
destination cpusets were mishandled, most visibly leaving thread
affinities stale when the controller is disabled in a threaded
subtree. Configuration writes could also race an in-flight attach and
apply stale state, and the deadline task count could get corrupted by
concurrent updates, skewing SCHED_DEADLINE admission decisions.
- Memory binding bug fixes: which node masks get applied differed
between the binding update paths, and tasks cloned with
CLONE_INTO_CGROUP skipped rebinding entirely. Rebinding also now runs
once per process instead of repeating for every thread sharing the
mm.
- Overhead removals with no behavior change: CPU hotplug iterated tasks
of cpusets that just inherit the parent's effective masks, and the
slab-spreading task flag was still being maintained although the SLAB
allocator that consumed it is long gone.
- Data-race annotations for benign races so that KCSAN reports stay
meaningful, selftest coverage for the fixes above along with
flakiness and portability fixes, and documentation corrections.

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.

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...

Pull bpf updates from Daniel Borkmann:
"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)
- Add arena argument support to kfuncs and struct_ops through the new
__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
data (Mahe Tardy)

kfunc arguments purely from BTF into a generated bpf_func_proto
which is computed once at add-call time (Amery Hung)
Other features and fixes:

loops no longer pay a kfunc call on every iteration (Puranjay
Mohan)
- Add an arena-based bitmap data structure to libarena along with
serial and parallel selftests (Emil Tsalapatis)

sets and to emit kfunc BTF decl tags, reducing the kernel build's
dependency on pahole features (Ihor Solodrai)
- Add BPF_F_ADJ_ROOM_DECAP_* flags to bpf_skb_adjust_room() so that
tunnel decapsulation can update the GSO and encapsulation state of
the skb (Nick Hudson)

accounting on 32-bit position wrap (Israel Téllez García)
- Add memory usage accounting for arena maps and fix an mmap_lock
deadlock on arena lock failure (Jiayuan Chen)

(Jiri Olsa)
- Support BPF_F_EGRESS in bpf_redirect_peer() to emit the skb in the
egress direction of the target's peer device (Jordan Rife)
- Add a KF_SPINLOCK_SAFE kfunc flag so that providers, in particular
modules, can declare kfuncs safe to call under bpf_spin_lock
instead of relying on the verifier's hard-coded allowlist (Kaitao
Cheng)
- Introduce global percpu data for BPF programs with libbpf probing
and bpftool skeleton support, and stop exposing uninitialized
kernel heap memory when copying per-CPU map values (Leon Hwang)

- Invalidate RCU pointers only after the final spin unlock and
account for preempt and IRQ disabled regions as overlapping RCU
protection (Ning Ding)
- Support mixing bpf2bpf calls and tail calls on RV64, add signed
operations and 32-bit atomics to the RV32 JIT, and add timed
may_goto support (Pu Lehui, Kuan-Wei Chiu, Feng Jiang)
- Fix a use-after-free on mm_struct in bpf_find_vma() for foreign
tasks and an mmap_lock leak in the irq_work path (Sanghyun Park)
- Populate mmap-able BPF array map memory lazily which makes mmap()
O(1) instead of proportional to the map size (Song Liu)
- Introduce a jit_required flag and reject programs with inlined
helpers when no JIT is available, where the interpreter would
otherwise jump into an invalid address (Tiezhu Yang)
- Fix the x86 JIT per-CPU address resolution into an extended

the arena base, and mixed arena and ordinary atomic paths (Yiyang
Chen)
- Fix the trampoline handling of 128-bit arguments and of return
values larger than 8 bytes (Yonghong Song)
- Ensure that any fault prone load is rewritten with exception table
handling, and fix the arena load-acquire and atomic fetch handling
in the x86, arm64, riscv and s390 JITs (Daniel Borkmann)

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>

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pull tracefs updates from Steven Rostedt:
- 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.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- 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.

Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt:
- 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.

Pull Real-time Verifier updates from Steven Rostedt:
- 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.

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.

Pull timer and timekeeping core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- 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 hard 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

Pull SMP core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- 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%).

memory barriers with smp_store_release()/acquire()

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
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.

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:

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.

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.

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"

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 b9f5dd57f4a5
("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"

GCC emits BTF line records with a file name and line number, but leaves the
source line string empty. bpf_diag_source() currently treats that empty string
as if the complete line record were unavailable, so diagnostics fall back to
an instruction number and discard the function, file, and line attribution.
Print the available source location before deciding whether source context can
be rendered. When source text is absent, omit only the source context and retain
the diagnostic annotation and instruction context.
