2026-08-22tracing: Fix use-after-free with same-name named triggersHui Su
When two hist triggers on different events are registered with the same name=, the second one reuses the first as named_data. Both are added to tr->hist_vars by save_hist_vars() during event_hist_trigger_parse(), because save_hist_vars() is called before event_trigger_register() while the named reuse is only detected later, in hist_register_trigger(). In the named-data branch hist_register_trigger() then frees the second histogram's hist_data via destroy_hist_data(), but never removes its tr->hist_vars list entry, leaving a dangling pointer and leaking the trace_array reference it holds. A later hist trigger that references a variable makes find_var_file() walk tr->hist_vars and dereference the freed hist_data. The bug is reproducible from userspace by writing three hist triggers to tracefs: cd /sys/kernel/tracing echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:x=common_pid:name=mh' > events/sched/sched_switch/trigger echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:x=common_pid:name=mh' > events/sched/sched_process_fork/trigger echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:vals=$x' > events/sched/sched_process_exit/trigger The third write panics the kernel: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in find_var_file.part.0+0x272/0x290 Read of size 8 at addr ffff888001f8a0e0 by task sh/1 CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 1 Comm: sh Tainted: G D N Call Trace: find_var_file.part.0 find_event_var parse_atom parse_expr __create_val_field event_hist_trigger_parse trigger_process_regex event_trigger_write vfs_write ksys_write do_syscall_64 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe Allocated by task 1: event_hist_trigger_parse Freed by task 1: hist_register_trigger+0x618/0xa30 event_hist_trigger_parse The buggy address belongs to freed 2048-byte region Oops: general protection fault ...

2026-08-22sched_ext: Fix spurious aborts in scx_bpf_dsq_move() on ownership change racesTejun Heo
scx_dsq_move() verifies that the task belongs to the calling scheduler before taking any locks and aborts the scheduler on mismatch. The task can lose the sched association at any point: It can run and fully exit, which clears the association, or get rehomed to a different sub-sched. Both are benign races, but the early ownership check escalates them into scheduler aborts. Move the ownership check below the cursor-lost check. Every ownership change dequeues the task first, so a task that is still on the iterated DSQ under the lock while owned elsewhere indicates a genuine violation and should abort. Also fix two stale comments still referencing sched_ext_free(), which has been renamed to sched_ext_dead().

2026-08-21bpf: Enable aggregate return types up to 16 bytesYonghong Song
Relax btf_distill_func_proto() to accept a by-value struct or union that the R0:R2 convention added in earlier patches can carry: - a struct or union larger than 8 and up to 16 bytes, returned in the R0:R2 register pair, matching what LLVM emits for the BPF target; - a struct or union up to 8 bytes, returned in R0 alone. A >8 byte scalar (__int128) was already accepted and is unchanged. Everything else stays rejected: a return type larger than 16 bytes, and any type that __get_type_size() cannot return in registers at all (e.g. an array), which it already reports as ret < 0. btf_validate_return_type() is relaxed as well, so that it accepts a by-value struct or union up to 16 bytes in addition to void and scalars. With btf_distill_func_proto() and btf_validate_return_type() relaxed, the verifier, JIT, precision-backtracking and live-register support from the earlier patches becomes reachable: <=16 byte aggregate return values now work end to end.

2026-08-21bpf: Add verifier support for 16-byte returns in R0: R2Yonghong Song
LLVM 23 added support for returning a value in two registers for an __int128, or a struct/union whose size is greater than 8 but not more than 16 bytes. See LLVM patches [1] and [2]. Before LLVM 23 the BPF backend could not return these values at all. A by-value struct or union return (of any size) was rejected at compile time with: error: aggregate returns are not supported and an __int128 return failed later in the backend with: fatal error: error in backend: unable to allocate function return #1 Both are resolved in LLVM 23, which lowers such returns into the R0:R2 register pair. Model that pair at calls to global and static BPF subprograms and at kfunc calls: R2 is marked alongside R0 at the call, propagated out of a callee at its exit, and held to the same scalar-only and no-stack-pointer rules that already apply to R0. A struct returned by a kfunc must be composed of scalars, since its bytes reach the program as raw register contents and a pointer field would otherwise be laundered into a scalar. An extension program is the one caller of the convention that cannot take part in it: only R0 is checked at its exit, since that is the program exit code, so it has no way to hand back an upper half. Replacing a function whose return value is larger than 8 bytes is therefore rejected in btf_check_func_type_match(). That function compares btf_type->info, which carries no size for an int, so an 8 byte long and a 16 byte __int128 compared equal; sizes up to 8 bytes stay interchangeable, as they always have been, so this only rejects what the R0:R2 convention newly makes incompatible.

2026-08-21bpf: Account R2 of register-pair returns in live register analysisYonghong Song
A BPF_EXIT of a subprogram returning a value larger than 8 bytes (a struct/union or an __int128) reads R2 as well as R0, since the second half of the return value is passed back in R2. compute_insn_live_regs() only marked R0 used at exit, so a callee's R2 could be considered dead and cleaned from checkpointed states, which would allow unsound state pruning. Mark R2 as read at the BPF_EXIT of a subprogram that does return a register pair. bpf_compute_live_registers() now loops over the subprograms and, for each, over the [start, end) instruction range from env->subprog_info[], so the return convention is queried once per subprogram through bpf_ret_reg_pair() rather than once per instruction. Marking R2 at every exit instead would be simpler, but R2 would then stay live backwards across any call that is not followed by a write to R2, which is nearly every program, and would needlessly hurt state pruning.

2026-08-21bpf: Handle R2 as a return register in precision backtrackingYonghong Song
Precision backtracking treats only R0 as a return register at a call/return boundary, so once the verifier starts modeling R2 that way, marking the second half of such a return precise would trip the "unexpected regs" checks in backtrack_insn() and reject a valid program. Marking the upper half precise, for example by branching on it after a call to a static subprogram, walks backtracking into the callee and reaches its BPF_EXIT with R2 still set in the mask. Handle R2 like R0 in boundaries where a call defines the return registers. R2 differs from R0 in that it is an argument register as well, so it is part of the BPF_REGMASK_ARGS check and has to be cleared before that check rather than next to R0. Clear it unconditionally, rather than only where the callee or the kfunc really does return a pair. That gives up the "unexpected regs" assertion for R2, and in exchange keeps backtracking free of any BTF lookup. Nothing is lost: a callee that does not return a pair leaves the caller's R2 uninitialized, so the main verification pass has already rejected any program that reads it, and backtracking is never asked for its precision. At BPF_EXIT the return registers are sampled before the callback path clears R1-R5. That clear does not touch R0, but it does cover R2, and running it first would drop a pair return whenever the instruction following the call happens to be one that invokes a callback.

2026-08-21bpf: Wire up JIT support for 16-byte kfunc returnsYonghong Song
LLVM 23 returns an __int128, or a struct/union larger than 8 bytes and no larger than 16 bytes, in the BPF R0:R2 register pair. The previous patch added the shared helpers describing that convention; wire up the JIT side so that the second half of the return value actually lands in R2. Placing the second return half into R2 is possible on any JIT, but it needs architecture-specific JIT work. Rather than requiring every JIT to implement it at once, add a bpf_jit_supports_kfunc_ret_reg_pair() capability, defaulting to false in the generic core; an architecture opts in once its JIT handles the R0:R2 pair, and the remaining ones are left for future work. Only the x86-64, arm64 and riscv64 JITs opt in so far. On arm64 and riscv64 the native second return register is already BPF R2 (x1 in bpf2a64[] and a1 in regmap[] respectively), so the upper half needs no move at all, unlike x86-64's RDX->RSI. The lower half is covered by the move into BPF R0 that those JITs already emit after every call, from x0 into x8 and from a0 into a5. This has been tested on x86-64 and arm64. The riscv64 path is expected to work by the same register-mapping reasoning as arm64 but has not been tested. bpf_add_kfunc_call() also rejects a kfunc that is marked KF_FASTCALL and returns more than 8 bytes. The bpf_fastcall contract implemented by mark_fastcall_pattern_for_call() assumes a call clobbers R0 plus the registers holding its arguments, so a return in the R0:R2 pair would clobber an R2 the caller expects the fastcall pattern to preserve. Such a kfunc is rejected with -EOPNOTSUPP as well.

2026-08-21bpf: Add helpers to describe the R0: R2 return register pairYonghong Song
LLVM 23 added support for returning a value in two registers for an __int128, or a struct/union whose size is greater than 8 but not more than 16 bytes: such a value comes back in the R0:R2 register pair, with R2 holding the upper half. See LLVM patches [1] and [2]. Later patches teach the JIT, live register analysis and the verifier itself about that convention. They need to answer the same question: does this subprogram return its value in a register pair? Add bpf_ret_reg_pair() up front so it can be used in subsequent patches. It is answered from a per-subprogram flag that bpf_compute_subprog_ret_regs() derives once from the BTF prototype. jit_requested only says that the JIT is enabled, not that it succeeded: bpf_fixup_call_args() falls back to the interpreter when bpf_jit_subprogs() fails with anything other than -EFAULT. So jit_required is still set once the pair is modelled, which turns that fallback into a load failure rather than a silent divergence from what was verified.

2026-08-21bpf: Fix percpu map update indexing with sparse CPU IDsHui Su
Per-CPU array, hash, and cgroup storage map updates without BPF_F_CPU or BPF_F_ALL_CPUS use a value buffer whose per-CPU slots are packed in possible-CPU order. The buffer is sized as: round_up(value_size, 8) * num_possible_cpus() The update paths iterate over possible CPUs, but use the logical CPU ID to calculate the source offset: value + size * cpu This only works when possible CPU IDs are contiguous starting at zero. For example, with a possible CPU mask of 0,2-3, the buffer contains three slots corresponding to CPUs 0, 2, and 3. CPU2 is therefore expected to use slot 1 and CPU3 slot 2. Instead, the current code uses slots 2 and 3 respectively, causing incorrect per-CPU values and an out-of-bounds read from the update buffer for CPU3. The corresponding lookup paths already use a dense offset while iterating over possible CPUs. Do the same for the array, hash, and cgroup storage update paths, advancing the source offset once for each possible CPU. BPF_F_ALL_CPUS continues to use the same value for every CPU.

2026-08-21notifier: add device-managed registration APIsEliav Farber
Add devm_atomic_notifier_chain_register() and devm_blocking_notifier_chain_register() that automatically unregister the notifier when the device is unbound. Many drivers repeat the same boilerplate pattern: 1. Register the notifier with *_notifier_chain_register() 2. Check for error 3. Register a devm action to unregister on teardown 4. Implement a per-driver static unregister callback With the new devm_*_notifier_chain_register() APIs, this reduces to a single call with one error path, eliminating per-driver unregister callbacks entirely. The implementation follows the established devres pattern used by other device-managed kernel APIs. A devm variant for raw notifier chains is intentionally not included because raw notifiers require the caller to provide all locking. The devres teardown callback has no way to acquire the caller's lock, and devres_alloc() with GFP_KERNEL cannot be used if the caller's lock is a spinlock.

2026-08-20bpf: Avoid redundant min()/max() in cnum signed boundsVinicius Sampaio
Simplify the smin() and smax() calculation by removing the integer min and max calculation on the non-overflowing branch. This is a valid simplification because when the arc does not cross the signed ST_MAX/ST_MIN boundary, the signed order of the endpoints is preserved, so base is the signed minimum and base + size is the signed maximum. Therefore, the min()/max() calls are redundant. We've also run benchmarks to compare the performance of this change. With O2 optimization we have: smin() results: | Test | smin | smin_new | | ------------------------ | ----------- | ----------- | | empty | 1.866 ns/op | 1.477 ns/op | | positive range | 1.870 ns/op | 1.248 ns/op | | negative range | 1.657 ns/op | 1.246 ns/op | | cross zero | 1.870 ns/op | 1.660 ns/op | | signed overflow boundary | 1.463 ns/op | 1.049 ns/op | | signed overflow range | 1.519 ns/op | 1.050 ns/op | | unsigned overflow range | 1.883 ns/op | 1.669 ns/op | | full range | 1.555 ns/op | 1.049 ns/op | smax() results: | Test | smax | smax_new | | ------------------------ | ----------- | ----------- | | empty | 1.462 ns/op | 1.456 ns/op | | positive range | 1.250 ns/op | 1.249 ns/op | | negative range | 1.259 ns/op | 1.297 ns/op | | cross zero | 1.471 ns/op | 1.475 ns/op | | signed overflow boundary | 1.056 ns/op | 1.260 ns/op | | signed overflow range | 1.049 ns/op | 1.259 ns/op | | unsigned overflow range | 1.470 ns/op | 1.477 ns/op | | full range | 1.072 ns/op | 1.263 ns/op | You can check the full implementation of these tests on this repository: https://github.com/OpenSourceVerif/open-verified-artifacts/tree/cnum-refactor-verif/cnum/benches Lean4 proofs showing that the new implementation preserves soundness of these operations are available at: https://github.com/OpenSourceVerif/open-verified-artifacts/tree/cnum-refactor-verif/cnum/lean Co-developed-by: Yazhou Tang <tangyazhou518@outlook.com> Co-developed-by: Shenghao Yuan <shenghaoyuan0928@163.com> Signed-off-by: Yazhou Tang <tangyazhou518@outlook.com> Signed-off-by: Shenghao Yuan <shenghaoyuan0928@163.com> Signed-off-by: Vinicius Sampaio <vldsampaio@pm.me> Acked-by: Shung-Hsi Yu <shung-hsi.yu@suse.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260730102129.15209-4-vldsampaio@pm.me Signed-off-by: Eduard Zingerman <eddyz87@gmail.com>
2026-08-20bpf: Simplify cnum normalize() by dropping unnecessary comparisonsVinicius Sampaio
In normalize(), there's no need to compare cnum.base with ST_MAX, because any cnum with size == UT_MAX represents the full unsigned domain independently of base, so normalize() can canonicalize all such values to base 0. Also, it's a no-op assigning 0 to cnum.base if the cnum is already unbounded, so we can remove the base != 0 check too. We've also run some benchmarks to compare the performance of the new implementation. We've run the tests with O2 optimization. Results: | Test | normalize | normalize_new | | ----------------------- | ----------- | ------------- | | normal small range | 1.255 ns/op | 1.217 ns/op | | full range normalized | 1.019 ns/op | 1.217 ns/op | | full range nonzero base | 1.031 ns/op | 1.221 ns/op | | empty | 1.023 ns/op | 1.217 ns/op | | signed max full range | 1.020 ns/op | 1.218 ns/op | | max base singleton | 1.218 ns/op | 1.219 ns/op | You can check the full implementation of these tests on this repository: https://github.com/OpenSourceVerif/open-verified-artifacts/tree/cnum-refactor-verif/cnum/benches Lean4 proofs showing that the new implementation preserves soundness of the operation are available at: https://github.com/OpenSourceVerif/open-verified-artifacts/tree/cnum-refactor-verif/cnum/lean Co-developed-by: Yazhou Tang <tangyazhou518@outlook.com> Co-developed-by: Shenghao Yuan <shenghaoyuan0928@163.com> Signed-off-by: Yazhou Tang <tangyazhou518@outlook.com> Signed-off-by: Shenghao Yuan <shenghaoyuan0928@163.com> Signed-off-by: Vinicius Sampaio <vldsampaio@pm.me> Acked-by: Shung-Hsi Yu <shung-hsi.yu@suse.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260730102129.15209-3-vldsampaio@pm.me Signed-off-by: Eduard Zingerman <eddyz87@gmail.com>
2026-08-20bpf: Simplify cnum contains() by removing redundant branchesVinicius Sampaio
Bearing in mind that a non-empty cnum represents an inclusive circular range in the corresponding unsigned integer domain, membership could be tested by checking whether the distance from the range base to the queried value is within the range size. This makes the explicit wrapping and non-wrapping cases in contains() unnecessary, since: v - cnum.base <= cnum.size is equivalent for both ordinary ranges and ranges that cross the unsigned wrap boundary. We've also run some benchmarks to compare the performance of the new implementation, for example, for empty ranges, overflowing ranges non-overflowing ranges. We've run the tests with O2 optimization. Results: | Test | contains | contains_new | | -------------------- | ----------- | ------------ | | empty | 1.511 ns/op | 1.479 ns/op | | non-overflow inside | 1.156 ns/op | 1.270 ns/op | | non-overflow outside | 1.053 ns/op | 1.258 ns/op | | overflow high side | 1.469 ns/op | 1.257 ns/op | | overflow low side | 1.469 ns/op | 1.270 ns/op | | overflow outside | 1.478 ns/op | 1.256 ns/op | | singleton inside | 1.049 ns/op | 1.256 ns/op | | singleton outside | 1.051 ns/op | 1.254 ns/op | | full range | 1.053 ns/op | 1.256 ns/op | You can check the full implementation of these tests on this repository: https://github.com/OpenSourceVerif/open-verified-artifacts/tree/cnum-refactor-verif/cnum/benches Lean4 proofs showing that the new implementation preserves the soundness of the operation are available at: https://github.com/OpenSourceVerif/open-verified-artifacts/tree/cnum-refactor-verif/cnum/lean Co-developed-by: Yazhou Tang <tangyazhou518@outlook.com> Co-developed-by: Shenghao Yuan <shenghaoyuan0928@163.com> Signed-off-by: Yazhou Tang <tangyazhou518@outlook.com> Signed-off-by: Shenghao Yuan <shenghaoyuan0928@163.com> Signed-off-by: Vinicius Sampaio <vldsampaio@pm.me> Acked-by: Shung-Hsi Yu <shung-hsi.yu@suse.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260730102129.15209-2-vldsampaio@pm.me Signed-off-by: Eduard Zingerman <eddyz87@gmail.com>

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.

2026-08-20bpf: Fix infinite loop in pcpu_freelist push with one possible CPUHui Su
__pcpu_freelist_push() can loop forever when only one CPU is possible and an NMI re-enters pcpu_freelist_push() while the interrupted context holds that CPU's freelist lock. After the current-CPU fast path fails, the fallback loop walks cpu_possible_mask while skipping the current CPU. With CONFIG_SMP=n, or when an SMP kernel is limited to one possible CPU with nr_cpus=1 or possible_cpus=1, there are no other possible CPUs to examine. The loop therefore makes no lock acquisition attempt and can never make progress. The following stack was observed on a UP system: NMI context: pcpu_freelist_push free_htab_elem htab_map_delete_elem [perf-event BPF program] __perf_event_overflow perf_event_nmi_handler exc_nmi Interrupted context: __pcpu_freelist_push pcpu_freelist_push free_htab_elem htab_map_delete_elem [raw_tp/sys_enter BPF program] __bpf_trace_sys_enter do_syscall_64 raw_res_spin_lock() detects the same-CPU recursive acquisition and returns -EDEADLK, but the subsequent fallback loop has no candidate head on a system with one possible CPU. Restore the extra fallback head that existed before the rqspinlock conversion. Keep the current-CPU fast path, then try the other possible CPUs and finally the extra head. The additional head lets a push, which cannot fail without losing a preallocated element, make progress when the only per-CPU head is held by the interrupted context. Also check the extra head from the pop path so that nodes placed there can be reused.

2026-08-20bpf: Fix REG INVARIANTS VIOLATION on speculative pointer arithmeticJiayuan Chen
Take the following unprivileged program as an example: r0 = bpf_map_lookup_elem(...) /* PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE, offset 0 */ ... 14: r0 += r1 /* r1 is a bounded scalar */ 15: r9 = r0 Loading it triggers a verifier warning from reg_bounds_sanity_check(): verifier bug: REG INVARIANTS VIOLATION (alu): const subreg tnum out of sync with range bounds r64={.base=0x0, .size=0x0} r32={.base=0x0, .size=0xffffffff} var_off=(0x0, 0x0) What happens: 1. Processing insn 14 (r0 += r1) in adjust_ptr_min_max_vals(), the new offset is computed into dst_reg's var_off and 32/64-bit ranges. 2. Because pointer registers do not track 32-bit subregister bounds, __mark_reg32_unbounded() first sets r32 to the full range; r32 is re-derived from the offset at the end of the function by reg_bounds_sync(). 3. On the unprivileged path, sanitize_ptr_alu() is called and, via sanitize_speculative_path() -> push_stack(), snapshots the current register state and schedules the next instruction (insn 15) to be verified directly as a speculative path. 4. That snapshot is taken between step 2 and the final reg_bounds_sync(): at this point dst_reg's var_off still holds the (const) original offset while r32 has just been blanked to the full range, i.e. the two are out of sync. When the speculative path later verifies insn 15 (r9 = r0), the inconsistent state reaches reg_bounds_sanity_check() and trips the warning. var_off and the 32-bit range must always be consistent. There are two ways to keep the snapshot consistent: 1. sync var_off and r32 before the snapshot so they match, or 2. leave r32 at its original (already consistent) value and blank it only after the snapshot. The whole point of sanitize_ptr_alu() is to insert a harmless masking sequence that keeps the access in bounds under speculation, so the state it snapshots should faithfully represent that. Take approach 2: move __mark_reg32_unbounded() to after sanitize_ptr_alu(), so the speculative snapshot keeps the pointer's original, consistent r32. The non-speculative path is unchanged: r32 is still blanked before the offset is applied and re-derived by reg_bounds_sync().

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" * tag 'sched_ext-for-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/sched_ext: (144 commits) sched_ext: Drop the dead SCX_DEQ_CORE_SCHED_EXEC test in dequeue_task_scx() sched_ext: Make core-sched task ordering hierarchy-aware sched_ext: Use runnable_at for the default core-sched task ordering sched_ext: Fix inverted ops.core_sched_before() invocation sched_ext: Move the config-off sub-cap kfunc stubs into sub.c sched_ext: Rename balance-era identifiers to dispatch terms sched_ext: Drop the stale keep_prev fixup in dispatch_pick() sched_ext: Keep kick_sync waiting on the rq's own CPU sched_ext: Make SCHED_CLASS_EXT select GENERIC_ALLOCATOR sched_ext/scx_flatcg: Fix cvtime true-up on slice expiry sched_ext: Don't BUG_ON a destroyed DSQ in process_deferred_reenq_users sched_ext: Fix scx_bpf_dsq_move_to_local___v2 compat detection sched_ext: Make scx_bpf_events() read the calling scheduler's counters sched_ext: Drop unlocked scx_rq_clock_invalidate() from scx_root_disable() selftests/sched_ext: Fix flaky ddsp failure tests on busy systems selftests/sched_ext: Make numa idle validation race-free sched_ext: Fix scx_bpf_dsq_reenq___compat kfunc extern prototype sched_ext/scx_flatcg: expire cached hweights on weight changes sched_ext: Fix exit_task leak on fork failure during enable sched_ext: fix stale references in doc comments ...

2026-08-20bpf: sched_ext: Mark ops argument container pointer fields as trustedTejun Heo
Walking an unannotated pointer field of a trusted struct yields a bare PTR_TO_BTF_ID in non-sleepable programs, which kfuncs and helpers accept, but PTR_UNTRUSTED in sleepable programs, which they reject. This gets in the way of making ops.init_task() sleepable, which schedulers want for allocations. For example, passing args->cgroup into bpf_cgrp_storage_get() then fails verification and the only recourse is round-tripping through the cgroup ID with bpf_cgroup_from_id(). The pointer fields in the sched_ext ops argument containers are all pinned by the callers for the duration of the ops calls and are never NULL. Add them to the verifier's trusted-fields whitelist so that they are PTR_TRUSTED in both sleepable and non-sleepable programs.

2026-08-20bpf: Reject invalid LDSX instruction in disassemblyKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi
The signed-load mnemonic table has entries for byte, half-word, and word loads because BPF_MEMSX does not support double-word loads. A BPF_MEMSX | BPF_DW instruction nevertheless selects index 3, past the end of this table. Program Structure diagnostics can disassemble a malformed instruction before check_and_resolve_insns() rejects its opcode.

2026-08-20futex: Fix might_sleep() warning in futex_pivot_pending()Peter Zijlstra
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.

2026-08-20x86/bpf: Make arch_bpf_trampoline_size allocate from EXECMEM_MODULE_DATAMike Rapoport (Microsoft)
Jiri Olsa reports slowdown of tracing_multi benchmark that allocates huge number of trampolines [1]. The slowdown caused by extra protection changes in execmem_alloc_rw() and execmem_free(). With ROX caches enabled, all execmem allocations except EXECMEM_MODULE_DATA are ROX after the allocation. execmem_alloc_rw() temporarily sets them to W+NX and execmem_free() resets them back to ROX. The only user of bpf_jit_alloc_exec_rw() is x86::arch_bpf_trampoline_size() that only needs a temporary writable buffer in the modules address space. On x86 executable memory and module data are constrained to the same address range, so x86::arch_bpf_trampoline_size() can directly use execmem_alloc(EXECMEM_MODULE_DATA) Replace the call to bpf_jit_alloc_exec_rw() with a call to execmem_alloc(EXECMEM_MODULE_DATA) in x86::arch_bpf_trampoline_size() and drop bpf_jit_alloc_exec_rw() helper.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next 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... Core & protocols: - A few steps lowering rtnl_lock dependence: - per-netns netdev unregistration for select SW drivers (e.g. veth, ipvlan, tunnels) - rtnl_lock-less FIB rule changes (RTM_NEWRULE and RTM_DELRULE) -

Report the per-group user count via RTM_GETMULTICAST - Expose the route deletion reason in RTM_DELROUTE - Add a SO_RIGHTS_NOTRUNC option to UNIX sockets to enable more useful handling of LSM denials when receiving SCM_RIGHTS messages: instead of truncating the message at the first blocked fd, keep every fd slot and store the LSM errno in the blocked slot -

2026-08-20sched/fair: Floor tg_cpus() at 1Jake Steinman
tg_cpus() returns cpuset_num_cpus() unfloored, while its sibling tg_tasks() already floors its result at 1. calc_concur_shares() feeds nr = min(tg_tasks(tg), tg_cpus(tg)) into __calc_smp_shares() as shares_max, so an nr of 0 makes shares_max 0. __calc_smp_shares() ends with return clamp_t(long, shares, MIN_SHARES, shares_max); and clamp() yields hi when hi < lo, so a zero shares_max silently defeats the MIN_SHARES floor and returns 0 -- the exact case the comment above that line says must return MIN_SHARES instead of 0. That leaves a group sched_entity with load.weight == 0, and __calc_prop_weight() then divides by cfs_rq->load.weight: weight *= se->load.weight; if (parent_entity(se)) weight /= cfs_rq->load.weight; which takes a #DE inside enqueue_task_fair(): Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI RIP: 0010:enqueue_task_fair+0x422/0x950 Call Trace: <TASK> enqueue_task+0x8e/0x250 wake_up_new_task+0x148/0x2e0 kernel_clone+0x1c6/0x390 __x64_sys_clone+0xcc/0x100 do_syscall_64+0x147/0x3c0 </TASK> This is not survivable in practice: with panic_on_oops=0 the kernel took the first #DE and continued for 476 ms, then faulted at the same RIP with identical register state and an identical RSP, because the oops recovery path (kill task -> schedule()) re-enters the same enqueue while the rq lock is held mid-enqueue. The second fault escalates to a panic. Flooring tg_cpus() at 1 makes it symmetric with tg_tasks() and keeps shares_max >= tg_shares, so the MIN_SHARES floor in __calc_smp_shares() can no longer be bypassed. Note this only removes the division hazard. Whether cpuset_num_cpus() can legitimately return 0 -- via the cpu hotplug/suspend path where a v2 cpuset may transiently become empty, or via an RCU race -- is a separate question still open on the report thread.

2026-08-19prctl: fix PR_SET_MM_AUXV losing the forced AT_NULL terminatorBradley Morgan
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.

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.

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. * tag 'trace-v7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (21 commits) tracing: Have trace_event_update_all() only handle module that is loading tracing: Cleanup event_enable_trigger_parse() by using __free() tracing: Report every TP_printk double dereference tracing/mmiotrace: Use trace_assign_type() in mmio_print_mark() tracing: Make per-template BTF id lists file-local tracing: Use seq_buf for string concatenation tracing: Use strscpy() instead of strcpy() in trace_sched_switch tracing: Warn when an event dereferences a pointer in TP_printk() samples/ftrace: Prevent division by zero when nr_function_calls is zero tracing: Reject invalid preemptirq_delay_test CPU affinity fgraph: Use trace_seq_putc() in print_graph_return() tracing/user_events: Replace a seq_printf() call by seq_puts() in user_seq_show() tracing/user_events: Use seq_putc() in two functions tracing: Bound histogram expression strings with seq_buf tracing: Return ERR_PTR() from expr_str() tracing: Use __free() for expr_str() buffer kernel/trace/trace_printk: Use kstrdup() instead of kmalloc() and strcpy() tracing: Point constant hist field type to string literal selftests/bpf: Add test for tracepoint btf_ids tracefs file tracing: Expose tracepoint BTF ids via tracefs ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace 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. * tag 'ftrace-v7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: selftests/livepatch: update test-ftrace.sh for deprecated ftrace_enabled ftrace: deprecate disabling via ftrace_enabled sysctl

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace 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. * tag 'trace-rv-v7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (40 commits) Documentation/rv: Explain epoll and aborted sleeps rv: Fix 32-bit build of nomiss KUnit test selftests/verification: Add selftests for deadline and stall monitors selftests/verification: Rearrange the wwnr_printk test selftests/verification: Fix wrong errexit assumption rv: Add KUnit tests for some LTL monitors rv: Add KUnit mock for current rv: Add KUnit tests for some DA/HA monitors rv: Export task monitor slot and react symbols verification/rvgen: Add selftests for rvgen kunit verification/rvgen: Add the rvgen kunit subcommand verification/rvgen: Add selftests verification/rvgen: Add golden and spec folders for tests tools/rv: Add selftests verification/rvgen: Improve consistency in template files verification/rvgen: Use pathlib instead of os.path verification/rvgen: Improve rv_dir discovery in RVGenerator tools/rv: Fix exit status when monitor execution fails rv: Use generic rv_this for the rv_monitor variable in LTL rv/rtapp: Add wakeup monitor ...
2026-08-19workqueue: Use raise_softirq() to trigger softirq in irq_work handlerZqiang
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.
