2026-08-31pid_namespace: prevent TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL from interrupting the reaperChristian Brauner
Since commit 7fea700e04bd ("zap_pid_ns_processes: clear TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL along with TIF_SIGPENDING") zap_pid_ns_processes() clears TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL before every kernel_wait4() call. Otherwise kernel_wait4() doesn't sleep and returns -ERESTARTSYS if signal_pending() is true and the reaper busy-waits. But clearing TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL doesn't fix it. It can get raised again. For example, klp_send_signals() sets it raw against any task that hasn't transitioned yet. And it keeps sending it until the livepatch finishes. The sleep loop waiting for pid_allocated to drop has the same problem and it doesn't even clear anything. So a schedule() in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE returns immediately. Use a no_notify_signal guard. signal_pending() will ignore TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL and the pid namespace reaper sleeps until a child exits or free_pid() wakes it.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: - 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. * tag 'trace-v7.3-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: ring-buffer: Stop remote reader update when page swap fails tracing: Fix retry exhaustion in simple ring buffer reader swap tracing/user_events: Clear copied tracing state before fork duplication samples/ftrace: Fix kthread_stop() on ERR_PTR in ftrace-direct-multi-modify samples/ftrace: Fix kthread_stop() on ERR_PTR in ftrace-direct-modify eventfs: Initialize ei->children and ei->list in init_ei() tracing: Fix use-after-free in trace_pipe read on sub-buffer order change tracing: Fix crash passing ERR_PTR to kthread_stop() tracing: Fix use-after-free with same-name named triggers tracing: Fix logged instance name on creation failure
2026-08-30interrupt: Disable interrupt before modifying hardirq_disable counterBoqun Feng
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).

2026-08-29bpf: Raise the bound on a program's signature sizeDaniel Borkmann
signature_size is bounded by KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE, which is 8 KiB on a 4 KiB page system. Back then we chose it somewhat arbitrarily and was picked when a BPF program signature was RSA or ECDSA. ML-DSA (FIPS-204) verification is wired through the X.509 and PKCS#7 parsers, and BPF reaches them too via verify_pkcs7_signature() without having to know the concrete algorithm. The bound becomes a bit too small, thus add an explicit BPF_PROG_MAX_SIGNATURE_SIZE of 64 KiB and use that instead to cover all options. KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE is PAGE_SIZE-derived, so what was accepted so far depended on the page size which is not optimal as it should be the same behavior on every configuration. On 64 KiB page kernels this lowers the ceiling from 128 KiB to 64 KiB. Nothing that could have been verified is affected as the largest signature the kernel implements is ML-DSA-87 at 4627 bytes.

2026-08-29bpf: Refuse caller-supplied keyrings when the bpf one is activeDaniel Borkmann
Nothing changes for systems that do not use the bpf keyring. Without bpf.keyring_unsealed=1 a caller-supplied keyring behaves exactly as before, which also lets it serve as the staging step for software installed onto a running system whose signing key is not enrolled anywhere yet. Passing bpf.keyring_unsealed=1 states that the bpf keyring is the trust anchor for this boot, so from the first program load onwards a caller- supplied keyring is refused with -EPERM. Deriving this from the boot flag rather than from the keyring's runtime state keeps the decision immutable from userspace.

2026-08-29bpf, keys: Add a bpf keyring for program signature validationDaniel Borkmann
BPF program signatures can currently be verified against one of the system keyrings (builtin, secondary, platform) or against an arbitrary user/session caller-supplied keyring named through keyring_id. There is nothing in between: the system keyrings need a kernel rebuild or a vouched-for enrollment to rotate a key, while a caller-supplied keyring is fully controlled by the loader and therefore carries no trust on its own (unless explicitly combined with BPF LSM to protect against key tampering). Add a dedicated bpf keyring to fill that gap, modelled after the dm-verity keyring which was added in commit 033724b1c627 ("dm-verity: add dm-verity keyring") and which can eventually be used also via systemd [0] through the same enrollment method as in dm-verity's case. It is selected with the new KEY_SPEC_BPF_KEYRING special key id and gives an operator a place to enroll a BPF-only signing key at boot, specifically scoped to BPF program loading and nothing else in the kernel's trust hierarchy. The id is reserved from the KEY_SPEC space so that the latter is not linked into any process keyring, and lookup_user_key() resolves KEY_SPEC_BPF_KEYRING constant instead of having to look it up via /proc/keys first. By default the keyring is sealed empty at init. Systems that want to provision keys pass bpf.keyring_unsealed=1, which leaves the keyring open for the initrd to add keys to. The keyring is only ever consulted once it is both non-empty and restricted. An unrestricted keyring is ignored.

2026-08-29bpf: Allow arena pointers in a by-value kfunc returnYonghong Song
A kfunc may already return an arena pointer on its own, which the program casts back into the arena address space to use. Let the members of a by-value struct it returns be arena pointers as well, rather than scalars only. Such a member carries the arena type tag but not the address space qualifier, so the program has to cast it itself. Handing it back as a scalar costs nothing: an arena address has no provenance to track, and the cast is confined to the caller's arena.

2026-08-29bpf: Allow a global function to return arena pointers by valueYonghong Song
A global function may already return an arena pointer on its own, and check_global_ret_scalar_reg() accepts one in either half of the R0:R2 pair. Let the members of a by-value struct it returns be arena pointers as well, rather than scalars only. Only a subprogram gets this: the main program returns to the kernel, which has no arena to cast the address back into, so btf_validate_return_type() keeps rejecting an arena pointer there, whether bare or inside a struct. The rejection message therefore has to name what the function at hand may return, or it would offer the main program an arena pointer it cannot have.

2026-08-29bpf: Report which member makes a kfunc return type unsupportedYonghong Song
A kfunc that returns a struct by value may only return scalars, and the message that rejects one names the type but not the member at fault: kernel function bpf_kfunc_call_test_ret_ptr returns STRUCT prog_test_ret_ptr that is not composed of scalars Record the member that made the walk fail and name it. What is recorded is a path, not a single member, because the walk descends up to 4 levels. For struct outer { struct inner { void *p; } in; __u64 tag; }; naming 'p' alone would send the reader looking for a member struct outer does not have, so the actual message reads "member 'in.p' has type PTR". For struct s { void *p[2]; }; naming 'p' alone would blame the member, when it is the element type that was rejected, so the actual message reads "member 'p[]' has type PTR". A zero-length array has no element type to name and is rejected for its length instead, so it reports "member 'p' is a zero-length array". The detailed diagnostics for this failure: Verification failed: Program Structure: Unsupported kernel function return type Reason: bpf_kfunc_call_test_ret_ptr() returns STRUCT prog_test_ret_ptr by value. Its member 'p' is PTR, not a scalar. Only kfuncs returning scalar values, or structures composed of scalar values are supported. ... Suggestion: Call a kernel function that returns only scalars by value. A type nested deeper than the walk descends has no single member to blame, so that case reports the depth instead: Reason: bpf_kfunc_call_test_ret_deep() returns STRUCT prog_test_ret_deep by value. It nests structs more than 4 levels deep. ...

2026-08-29bpf: Let the by-value struct walk take the kinds of member it acceptsYonghong Song
btf_struct_member_walk() hardcodes that every member of a struct returned by value must be a scalar. A later patch needs the same walk to also accept arena pointers, so give it a mask of the member kinds it allows. The mask reaches callers through btf_struct_is_composed_of(), which replaces btf_type_is_scalar_struct() as the entry point exported to btf.c. btf_type_is_scalar_struct() stays as a verifier-local wrapper for the call sites that only ever ask about scalars. There is no functional change: btf_member_kind_allowed() is exactly btf_type_is_scalar() when the mask is BTF_MEMBER_SCALAR alone, and the shared check is the last statement of the loop body, so dropping the array branch's continue neither skips a member nor checks one twice.

2026-08-29bpf: Add btf_type_is_arena_ptr()Yonghong Song
Add btf_type_is_arena_ptr() to test whether a BTF type is a pointer carrying the "arena" type tag, and use it to simplify both btf_scan_type_tags() and btf_validate_return_type(). The helper has external linkage because a later patch calls it from verifier.c to decide whether a struct member returned by value may be an arena pointer. btf_scan_type_tags() drove btf_type_tag_walk() with a one-entry match table, so the "multiple type tags" error it checked for could never fire: btf_type_tag_walk() only fails when the walk sets more than one flag. Dropping that error path, and with it the int return, is therefore no functional change.

2026-08-29bpf: Drop the recursion depth argument of btf_type_is_scalar_struct()Yonghong Song
btf_type_is_scalar_struct() recurses into nested struct members and carries the nesting depth in a @rec argument, so every caller has to spell out the 0 that starts the walk. Move the recursion into btf_struct_member_walk() and leave btf_type_is_scalar_struct() as a thin wrapper over it. This is groundwork for the later patches, which give the walk further state that callers should not have to supply: the kinds of member it accepts, and a record of the member that made it fail. No functional change.

2026-08-28bpf: don't downgrade half-dead scalar zero spills to STACK_ZEROEduard Zingerman
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.

2026-08-27ring-buffer: Stop remote reader update when page swap failsIvan Immanuel Shaji
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.

simple_ring_buffer_swap_reader_page() starts with retry set to 8 and post-decrements it only after a failed link replacement.

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.

2026-08-27tracing/user_events: Clear copied tracing state before fork duplicationJérémy Jean
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.

2026-08-26bpf: check_cond_jmp_op(): properly infer if register is nullEduard Zingerman
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.

BPF_PROG_STREAM_READ_BY_FD exposes stream_buf_len as a u32, but the internal stream reader accepts an int. Values above INT_MAX therefore become negative before bpf_stream_read(), producing negative consumption lengths.

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.

2026-08-24mm: provide vma_[flags_]is_cow_mapping() and remove is_cow_mapping()Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM)
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.

2026-08-24dma-contiguous: fix truncation of numa_cma / cma_pernuma sizes >= 2GAlexander Graf
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.

Revert commit 1b0866874833 ("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.

Jianlin Shi says: ==================== v3 addressed Kartikeya's review on v2 and the related Sashiko findings. v4 fixes the stream_oversize selftest to verify capacity rollback on the same BPF program stream, since streams live on prog->aux and are not shared across programs. Tested locally: stream_oversize and stream_partial_read (equivalent to ./test_progs -t stream_oversize,stream_partial_read). Changelog: v3 -> v4: - In stream_oversize, perform the oversized bpf_stream_printk() and a subsequent successful "foo" push in the same program; read that program's stream in userspace instead of switching to stream_syscall. - Drop a redundant vscnprintf() comment in bpf_stream_stage_printk(). v2 -> v3: - Refactor bpf_stream_release_capacity() to take a length. - Fix staging-path capacity leak; use vscnprintf(). - Return partial bpf_stream_read() progress on copy_to_user() fault. - Reject truncated bpf_stream_vprintk() output with -E2BIG. - Add selftests for oversize and straddling-buffer partial read. v1 -> v2: - Retarget to bpf-next as suggested by Pu Lehui.

2026-08-23bpf: Reject oversized bpf_stream_vprintk output with -E2BIGJianlin Shi
bstr_printf() returns the would-be length excluding the trailing NUL. When that value is >= MAX_BPRINTF_BUF the message was truncated, but bpf_stream_push_str() still tried to allocate with the inflated length and failed with -ENOMEM. The boundary case of exactly MAX_BPRINTF_BUF could also copy the trailing NUL into the stream element. Reject such lengths with -E2BIG before charging stream capacity, and tighten bpf_stream_elem_alloc() to accept only payloads strictly shorter than the bprintf buffer.

If a later copy_to_user() fails, it currently restores only the current element's consumed_len and returns -EFAULT, hiding bytes already delivered to userspace and making the consumed data unrecoverable on retry.

2026-08-23bpf: Fix stream capacity leak in staging pathJianlin Shi
bpf_stream_stage_printk() increments ss->len before pushing the formatted string to the staging log. If element allocation fails, ss->len remains inflated and bpf_stream_stage_commit() permanently charges the stream capacity for data that was never queued. Only account the string length after a successful push, and use vscnprintf() so the staged length is the truncated payload without the trailing NUL.

2026-08-23bpf: Roll back stream capacity when allocation failsJianlin Shi
bpf_stream_push_str() accounts the string length before allocating a stream element. If the allocation fails, the length remains charged even though no element is queued and therefore cannot be released by a reader. Repeated failures can exhaust the stream capacity permanently until the BPF program is freed. Refactor bpf_stream_release_capacity() to take a length so the consume and release sides are symmetric, and use it to roll back the charge when creating the stream element fails.

2026-08-22tracing: Fix use-after-free in trace_pipe read on sub-buffer order changeDeepanshu Kartikey
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.

2026-08-22tracing: Fix crash passing ERR_PTR to kthread_stop()Hui Su
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 91542863abad ("ring-buffer: Fix crash passing ERR_PTR to kthread_stop()").
