git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Fix inverted check of registering the stats for branch tracing When calling register_stat_tracer() which returns zero on success and negative on error, the callers were checking the return of zero as an error and printing a warning message. Because this was just a normal printk() message and not a WARN(), it wasn't caught in any testing. Fix the check to print the warning message when an error actually happens. - Fix a typo in a comment in tracepoint.h - Limit the size of event probes to 3K in size It is possible to create a dynamic event probe via the tracefs system that is greater than the max size of an event that the ring buffer can hold. This basically causes the event to become useless. Limit the size of an event probe to be 3K as that should be large enough to handle any dynamic events being created, and fits within the PAGE_SIZE sub-buffers of the ring buffer. * tag 'trace-v7.1-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: tracing/probes: Limit size of event probe to 3K tracepoint: Fix typo in tracepoint.h comment tracing: branch: Fix inverted check on stat tracer registration
2026-04-29tracing/probes: Limit size of event probe to 3KSteven Rostedt
There currently isn't a max limit an event probe can be. One could make an event greater than PAGE_SIZE, which makes the event useless because if it's bigger than the max event that can be recorded into the ring buffer, then it will never be recorded. A event probe should never need to be greater than 3K, so make that the max size. As long as the max is less than the max that can be recorded onto the ring buffer, it should be fine.

2026-04-28tracing: branch: Fix inverted check on stat tracer registrationBreno Leitao
init_annotated_branch_stats() and all_annotated_branch_stats() check the return value of register_stat_tracer() with "if (!ret)", but register_stat_tracer() returns 0 on success and a negative errno on failure. The inverted check causes the warning to be printed on every successful registration, e.g.: Warning: could not register annotated branches stats while leaving real failures silent. The initcall also returned a hard-coded 1 instead of the actual error. Invert the check and propagate ret so that the warning fires on real errors and the initcall reports the correct status.

2026-04-28sched_ext: Fix scx_flush_disable_work() UAF raceCheng-Yang Chou
scx_flush_disable_work() calls irq_work_sync() followed by kthread_flush_work() to ensure that the disable kthread work has fully completed before bpf_scx_unreg() frees the SCX scheduler. However, a concurrent scx_vexit() (e.g., triggered by a watchdog stall) creates a race window between scx_claim_exit() and irq_work_queue(): CPU A (scx_vexit (watchdog)) CPU B (bpf_scx_unreg) ---- ---- scx_claim_exit() atomic_try_cmpxchg(NONE->kind) stack_trace_save() vscnprintf() scx_disable() scx_claim_exit() -> FAIL scx_flush_disable_work() irq_work_sync() // no-op: not queued yet kthread_flush_work() // no-op: not queued yet kobject_put(&sch->kobj) -> free %sch irq_work_queue() -> UAF on %sch scx_disable_irq_workfn() kthread_queue_work() -> UAF The root cause is that CPU B's scx_flush_disable_work() returns after syncing an irq_work that has not yet been queued, while CPU A is still executing the code between scx_claim_exit() and irq_work_queue(). Loop until exit_kind reaches SCX_EXIT_DONE or SCX_EXIT_NONE, draining disable_irq_work and disable_work in each pass. This ensures that any work queued after the previous check is caught, while also correctly handling cases where no disable was triggered (e.g., the scx_sub_enable_workfn() abort path).

2026-04-28sched_ext: Call wakeup_preempt() in local_dsq_post_enq()Kuba Piecuch
There are several edge cases (see linked thread) where an IMMED task can be left lingering on a local DSQ if an RT task swoops in at the wrong time. All of these edge cases are due to rq->next_class being idle even after dispatching a task to rq's local DSQ. We should bump rq->next_class to &ext_sched_class as soon as we've inserted a task into the local DSQ. To optimize the common case of rq->next_class == &ext_sched_class, only call wakeup_preempt() if rq->next_class is below EXT. If next_class is EXT or above, wakeup_preempt() is a no-op anyway. This lets us also simplify the preempt_curr() logic a bit since wakeup_preempt() will call preempt_curr() for us if next_class is below EXT.

2026-04-24sched_ext: Release cpus_read_lock on scx_link_sched() failure in root enableTejun Heo
scx_root_enable_workfn() takes cpus_read_lock() before scx_link_sched(sch), but the `if (ret) goto err_disable` on failure skips the matching cpus_read_unlock() - all other err_disable gotos along this path drop the lock first. scx_link_sched() only returns non-zero on the sub-sched path (parent != NULL), so the leak path is unreachable via the root caller today. Still, the unwind is out of line with the surrounding paths. Drop cpus_read_lock() before goto err_disable. v2: Correct Fixes: tag (Andrea Righi).

scx_prog_sched(aux) returns NULL for TRACING / SYSCALL BPF progs that have no struct_ops association when the root scheduler has sub_attach set. scx_bpf_task_set_slice() and scx_bpf_task_set_dsq_vtime() pass that NULL into scx_task_on_sched(sch, p), which under CONFIG_EXT_SUB_SCHED is rcu_access_pointer(p->scx.sched) == sch. For any non-scx task p->scx.sched is NULL, so NULL == NULL returns true and the authority gate is bypassed - a privileged but non-struct_ops-associated prog can poke p->scx.slice / p->scx.dsq_vtime on arbitrary tasks.

2026-04-24sched_ext: Refuse cross-task select_cpu_from_kfunc callsTejun Heo
select_cpu_from_kfunc() skipped pi_lock for @p when called from ops.select_cpu() or another rq-locked SCX op, assuming the held lock protects @p. scx_bpf_select_cpu_dfl() / __scx_bpf_select_cpu_and() accept an arbitrary KF_RCU task_struct, so a caller in e.g. ops.select_cpu(p1) or ops.enqueue(p1) can pass some other p2 - the held pi_lock / rq lock is p1's, not p2's - and reading p2->cpus_ptr / nr_cpus_allowed races with set_cpus_allowed_ptr() and migrate_disable_switch() on another CPU. Abort the scheduler on cross-task calls in both branches: for ops.select_cpu() use scx_kf_arg_task_ok() to verify @p is the wake-up task recorded in current->scx.kf_tasks[] by SCX_CALL_OP_TASK_RET(); for other rq-locked SCX ops compare task_rq(p) against scx_locked_rq(). v2: Switch the in_select_cpu cross-task check from direct_dispatch_task comparison to scx_kf_arg_task_ok(). The former spuriously rejects when ops.select_cpu() calls scx_bpf_dsq_insert() first, then calls scx_bpf_select_cpu_*() on the same task.

2026-04-24sched_ext: Align cgroup #ifdef guards with SUB_SCHED vs GROUP_SCHEDTejun Heo
Two EXT_GROUP_SCHED/SUB_SCHED guards are misclassified: - scx_root_enable_workfn()'s cgroup_get(cgrp) and the err_put_cgrp unwind in scx_alloc_and_add_sched() are under `#if GROUP || SUB`, but the matching cgroup_put() in scx_sched_free_rcu_work() is inside `#ifdef SUB` only (via sch->cgrp, stored only under SUB). GROUP-only would leak a reference on every root-sched enable. - sch_cgroup() / set_cgroup_sched() live under `#if GROUP || SUB` but touch SUB-only fields (sch->cgrp, cgroup->scx_sched). GROUP-only wouldn't compile. GROUP needs CGROUP_SCHED; SUB needs only CGROUPS. CGROUPS=y/CGROUP_SCHED=n gives the reachable GROUP=n, SUB=y combination; GROUP=y, SUB=n isn't reachable today (SUB is def_bool y under CGROUPS). Neither miscategorization triggers a real bug in any reachable config, but keep the guards honest: - Narrow cgroup_get and err_put_cgrp to `#ifdef SUB` (matches the free-side put). - Move sch_cgroup() and set_cgroup_sched() to a separate `#ifdef SUB` block with no-op stubs for the !SUB case; keep root_cgroup() and scx_cgroup_{ lock,unlock}() under `#if GROUP || SUB` since those only need cgroup core.

2026-04-24sched_ext: Save and restore scx_locked_rq across SCX_CALL_OPTejun Heo
SCX_CALL_OP{,_RET}() unconditionally clears scx_locked_rq_state to NULL on exit. Correct at the top level, but ops can recurse via scx_bpf_sub_dispatch(): a parent's ops.dispatch calls the helper, which invokes the child's ops.dispatch under another SCX_CALL_OP. When the inner call returns, the NULL clobbers the outer's state. The parent's BPF then calls kfuncs like scx_bpf_cpuperf_set() which read scx_locked_rq()==NULL and re-acquire the already-held rq. Snapshot scx_locked_rq_state on entry and restore on exit. Rename the rq parameter to locked_rq across all SCX_CALL_OP* macros so the snapshot local can be typed as 'struct rq *' without colliding with the parameter token in the expansion. SCX_CALL_OP_TASK{,_RET}() and SCX_CALL_OP_2TASKS_RET() funnel through the two base macros and inherit the fix.

FIFO-tail dispatch_enqueue()'s FIFO-tail path used list_empty(&dsq->list) to decide whether to set dsq->first_task on enqueue. dsq->list can contain parked BPF iterator cursors (SCX_DSQ_LNODE_ITER_CURSOR), so list_empty() is not a reliable "no real task" check. If the last real task is unlinked while a cursor is parked, first_task becomes NULL; the next FIFO-tail enqueue then sees list_empty() == false and skips the first_task update, leaving scx_bpf_dsq_peek() returning NULL for a non-empty DSQ.

2026-04-24sched_ext: Don't disable tasks in scx_sub_enable_workfn() abort pathTejun Heo
scx_sub_enable_workfn()'s prep loop calls __scx_init_task(sch, p, false) without transitioning task state, then sets SCX_TASK_SUB_INIT. If prep fails partway, the abort path runs __scx_disable_and_exit_task(sch, p) on the marked tasks. Task state is still the parent's ENABLED, so that dispatches to the SCX_TASK_ENABLED arm and calls scx_disable_task(sch, p) - i.e. child->ops.disable() - for tasks on which child->ops.enable() never ran. A BPF sub-scheduler allocating per-task state in enable/freeing in disable would operate on uninitialized state. The dying-task branch in scx_disable_and_exit_task() has the same problem, and scx_enabling_sub_sched was cleared before the abort cleanup loop - a task exiting during cleanup tripped the WARN and skipped both ops.exit_task and the SCX_TASK_SUB_INIT clear, leaking per-task resources and leaving the task stuck. Introduce scx_sub_init_cancel_task() that calls ops.exit_task with cancelled=true - matching what the top-level init path does when init_task itself returns -errno. Use it in the abort loop and in the dying-task branch. scx_enabling_sub_sched now stays set until the abort loop finishes clearing SUB_INIT, so concurrent exits hitting the dying-task branch can still find @sch. That branch also clears SCX_TASK_SUB_INIT unconditionally when seen, leaving the task unmarked even if the WARN fires.

The hardlockup handler is best-effort recovery and the disable path it triggers runs off of irq_work anyway. Move the handle_lockup() call into an irq_work so it runs in IRQ context.

This is because the ring buffer being read by user space on a crash may not save the part it read. Rewinding the head page back to the earliest saved position helps keep those events from being lost. The number of events is also read during boot up and displayed in the stats file in the tracefs directory. It's also used for other accounting as well. On boot up, the "reader page" is accounted for but a rewind may put it back into the buffer and then the reader page may be accounted for again.

local_dsq_post_enq() calls call_task_dequeue() with scx_root instead of the scheduler instance actually managing the task. When CONFIG_EXT_SUB_SCHED is enabled, tasks may be managed by a sub-scheduler whose ops.dequeue() callback differs from root's. Using scx_root causes the wrong scheduler's ops.dequeue() to be consulted: sub-sched tasks dispatched to a local DSQ via scx_bpf_dsq_move_to_local() will have SCX_TASK_IN_CUSTODY cleared but the sub-scheduler's ops.dequeue() is never invoked, violating the custody exit semantics. Fix by adding a 'struct scx_sched *sch' parameter to local_dsq_post_enq() and move_local_task_to_local_dsq(), and propagating the correct scheduler from their callers dispatch_enqueue(), move_task_between_dsqs(), and consume_dispatch_q(). This is consistent with dispatch_enqueue()'s non-local path which already passes 'sch' directly to call_task_dequeue() for global/bypass DSQs.

Fix fprobe to unregister ftrace_ops if corresponding type of fprobe does not exist on the fprobe_ip_table and it is expected to be empty when unloading modules. Since ftrace thinks that the empty hash means everything to be traced, if we set fprobes only on the unloaded module, all functions are traced unexpectedly after unloading module. e.g. # modprobe xt_LOG.ko # echo 'f:test log_tg*' > dynamic_events # echo 1 > events/fprobes/test/enable # cat enabled_functions log_tg [xt_LOG] (1) tramp: 0xffffffffa0004000 (fprobe_ftrace_entry+0x0/0x490) ->fprobe_ftrace_entry+0x0/0x490 log_tg_check [xt_LOG] (1) tramp: 0xffffffffa0004000 (fprobe_ftrace_entry+0x0/0x490) ->fprobe_ftrace_entry+0x0/0x490 log_tg_destroy [xt_LOG] (1) tramp: 0xffffffffa0004000 (fprobe_ftrace_entry+0x0/0x490) ->fprobe_ftrace_entry+0x0/0x490 # rmmod xt_LOG # wc -l enabled_functions 34085 enabled_functions Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/177669368776.132053.10042301916765771279.stgit@mhiramat.tok.corp.google.com/ Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Because kgdb_cpu_enter() is static, the correct public entry point is kgdb_handle_exception(); also fix a pre-existing grammar error ("get them be" -> "get them into") and reflow the text. - kernel/debug/debug_core.c: replace with the generic description "the debug trap handler", since the actual entry path is architecture-specific. - kernel/debug/gdbstub.c: kgdb_cpu_enter() is correct here (it describes internal state, not a call target); add the missing parentheses.

2026-04-22tracing/fprobe: Check the same type fprobe on table as the unregistered oneMasami Hiramatsu (Google)
Commit 2c67dc457bc6 ("tracing: fprobe: optimization for entry only case") introduced a different ftrace_ops for entry-only fprobes. However, when unregistering an fprobe, the kernel only checks if another fprobe exists at the same address, without checking which type of fprobe it is. If different fprobes are registered at the same address, the same address will be registered in both fgraph_ops and ftrace_ops, but only one of them will be deleted when unregistering. (the one removed first will not be deleted from the ops). This results in junk entries remaining in either fgraph_ops or ftrace_ops. For example: ======= cd /sys/kernel/tracing # 'Add entry and exit events on the same place' echo 'f:event1 vfs_read' >> dynamic_events echo 'f:event2 vfs_read%return' >> dynamic_events # 'Enable both of them' echo 1 > events/fprobes/enable cat enabled_functions vfs_read (2) ->arch_ftrace_ops_list_func+0x0/0x210 # 'Disable and remove exit event' echo 0 > events/fprobes/event2/enable echo -:event2 >> dynamic_events # 'Disable and remove all events' echo 0 > events/fprobes/enable echo > dynamic_events # 'Add another event' echo 'f:event3 vfs_open%return' > dynamic_events cat dynamic_events f:fprobes/event3 vfs_open%return echo 1 > events/fprobes/enable cat enabled_functions vfs_open (1) tramp: 0xffffffffa0001000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 subops: {ent:fprobe_fgraph_entry+0x0/0x620 ret:fprobe_return+0x0/0x150} vfs_read (1) tramp: 0xffffffffa0001000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 subops: {ent:fprobe_fgraph_entry+0x0/0x620 ret:fprobe_return+0x0/0x150} ======= As you can see, an entry for the vfs_read remains. To fix this issue, when unregistering, the kernel should also check if there is the same type of fprobes still exist at the same address, and if not, delete its entry from either fgraph_ops or ftrace_ops.

2026-04-21rtmutex: Use waiter::task instead of current in remove_waiter()Keenan Dong
remove_waiter() is used by the slowlock paths, but it is also used for proxy-lock rollback in rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock() when invoked from futex_requeue(). In the latter case waiter::task is not current, but remove_waiter() operates on current for the dequeue operation. That results in several problems: 1) the rbtree dequeue happens without waiter::task::pi_lock being held 2) the waiter task's pi_blocked_on state is not cleared, which leaves a dangling pointer primed for UAF around. 3) rt_mutex_adjust_prio_chain() operates on the wrong top priority waiter task Use waiter::task instead of current in all related operations in remove_waiter() to cure those problems.

2026-04-20sched_ext: Deny SCX kfuncs to non-SCX struct_ops programsCheng-Yang Chou
scx_kfunc_context_filter() currently allows non-SCX struct_ops programs (e.g. tcp_congestion_ops) to call SCX unlocked kfuncs. This is wrong for two reasons: - It is semantically incorrect: a TCP congestion control program has no business calling SCX kfuncs such as scx_bpf_kick_cpu(). - With CONFIG_EXT_SUB_SCHED=y, kfuncs like scx_bpf_kick_cpu() call scx_prog_sched(aux), which invokes bpf_prog_get_assoc_struct_ops(aux) and casts the result to struct sched_ext_ops * before reading ops->priv. For a non-SCX struct_ops program the returned pointer is the kdata of that struct_ops type, which is far smaller than sched_ext_ops, making the read an out-of-bounds access (confirmed with KASAN). Extend the filter to cover scx_kfunc_set_any and scx_kfunc_set_idle as well, and deny all SCX kfuncs for any struct_ops program that is not the SCX struct_ops. This addresses both issues: the semantic contract is enforced at the verifier level, and the runtime out-of-bounds access becomes unreachable.

2026-04-19sched_ext: Mark scx_sched_hash insecure_elasticityTejun Heo
scx_sched_hash is inserted into under scx_sched_lock (raw_spinlock_irq) in scx_link_sched(). rhashtable's sync grow path calls get_random_u32() and does a GFP_ATOMIC allocation; both acquire regular spinlocks, which is unsafe under raw_spinlock_t. Set insecure_elasticity to skip the sync grow. v2: - Dropped dsq_hash changes. Insertion is not under raw_spin_lock. - Switched from no_sync_grow flag to insecure_elasticity.

2026-04-18liveupdate: defer file handler module refcounting to active sessionsPasha Tatashin
Stop pinning modules indefinitely upon file handler registration. Instead, dynamically increment the module reference count only when a live update session actively uses the file handler (e.g., during preservation or deserialization), and release it when the session ends. This allows modules providing live update handlers to be gracefully unloaded when no live update is in progress.
