Pull bpf fixes from Alexei Starovoitov: - Remove BPF_F_ARENA_SCALAR flag and .arena.data section in libbpf that were added for rust-bpf in this merge window. We found a cleaner approach that does it on compiler side instead of kernel/libbpf. No released kernel has them (Alexei Starovoitov) - Fix bpf_send_signal_task() returning -EPERM when it is called from a kernel thread (Aditya Sharma) - Various fixes (Alexei Starovoitov): - Use emit_rsb_call() to call bpf_unwind_target() in x86 JIT to fix objtool warning during the build - Fix scalar evolution: clear delta of a widened register, don't widen a pointer to a buffer, don't clamp a register whose type changed in the loop, and reset the range of a clamped packet pointer - Finish the insn in the state that maybe_fork_scalars() splits off, so that pruning doesn't drop it at the head of a counted loop - Preserve the registers that carry stack arguments across arch_bpf_timed_may_goto() on x86-64, arm64 and riscv64 - Don't re-sort subprog_info[] for every new subprogram - Fix flaky map_kptr and rcu_reentry selftests - Use memmove() in bpf_skb_load_bytes(), bpf_skb_load_bytes_relative() and bpf_xdp_load_bytes(), since the destination can be a slice of the same packet (Ayushman Rout) - Fixes and follow-ups for scalar evolution: reject pointer operands in 32-bit recurrences and latches, don't intersect with the current register range on clamp to avoid a false 'verifier bug', avoid false infinite loop reports, and recognize a 32-bit copy of the induction variable (Eduard Zingerman) - Fix out-of-bounds write to btf->types[] for split BTF and propagate btf_add_type() errors in btf_check_all_metas() (Feng Yang) - Fix use-after-free in bpf_timer callback that fires after its inner map was freed (Mani Tofigh) - Fix x86 JIT stopping before jumps converge: size backward jumps by the insns they jump over (Mykyta Yatsenko) - Fix use-after-free of struct_ops trampoline: dissociate struct_ops progs before the grace period of the map (Qiliang Yuan) - Validate stack argument reads against the caller state to fix out-of-bounds read in the verifier, and reject callbacks with stack arguments (Weiming Shi) - Tie borrowed iterator results and pointers loaded from trusted fields to the lifetime of their source, so that iterator next, destroy and reference release invalidate them (Xu Yunxiang) * tag 'bpf-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf: (48 commits) bpf: Don't re-sort subprog_info[] for every new subprogram bpf: Fix out-of-bounds btf->types write for split BTF selftests/bpf: Test stack arguments across may_goto bpf: Keep stack arguments in arch_bpf_timed_may_goto() selftests/bpf: Test maybe_fork_scalars() at the head of a counted loop bpf: Finish the insn in the state that maybe_fork_scalars() splits off selftests/bpf: Test the clamp of pointers in scalar evolution bpf: Reset the range of a packet pointer that scalar evolution clamps bpf: Don't clamp a register whose type changed in the loop selftests/bpf: Test a loop that moves a pointer to a buffer bpf: Don't widen a pointer to a buffer in scalar evolution selftests/bpf: Avoid a page fault in rcu_reentry while the handler is armed selftests/bpf: Wait for the last maps of map_kptr to be freed selftests/bpf: Test that a widened register is not linked bpf: Clear delta of a register that scalar evolution widens bpf, x86: Remove r0_on_stack from fetching atomics in arena bpf: Remove BPF_F_ARENA_SCALAR selftests/bpf: Remove tests for arena access through numbers libbpf: Keep format strings of bpf_printk() in .rodata libbpf: Remove .arena.data ...
6 daysbpf: Remove BPF_F_ARENA_SCALARAlexei Starovoitov
Rust has no address spaces. Thus a prog in Rust accesses arena through scalars. With BPF_F_ARENA_SCALAR the verifier accepts each load and each store through a scalar as an access to arena. The verifier rewrites one insn at a time. Thus it must add one insn to each access. The compiler knows the source of each pointer. It can emit one addr_space_cast for each pointer, as it does for the __arena pointers of C. flag: one move for each access cast: one cast for each pointer ax = (u32)r1 r1 = addr_space_cast(r1, 0, 1) r2 = *(u64 *)(ax + 0) r2 = *(u64 *)(r1 + 0) ax = (u32)r1 r3 = *(u64 *)(r1 + 8) r3 = *(u64 *)(ax + 8) 20 progs of rust-bpf, with the flag and with the casts that a prototype of an LLVM pass emits: flag casts moves or casts 1568 571 insns 14864 13938 jited bytes 72351 69111 No released kernel has the flag. LLVM does not emit the casts for Rust at this time. Until it does, Rust progs that access arena do not load. scx_mavd and scx_nitosis set the flag too. They are experimental schedulers in C in sched-ext/scx, and they use the flag to omit __arena. They must use __arena again. This reverts commit 4c651a91bdfc ("bpf: Treat load and store through a number as arena access"). One part stays: BPF_REG_AX in reg2pt_regs[] of the x86 JIT. The fetching AND/OR/XOR atomics in arena use it now. Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20261027190314.1440199-6-alexei.starovoitov@gmail.com

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - "selftests/mm: improve khugepaged coverage" (Kiryl Shutsemau): Give khugepaged a proper workout. Extend the tests to all supported mTHP orders, check exactly which windows collapsed, and make scan completion deterministic. Race collapse against faults, pinning, fork and remap; verify that the contents survive. Add coverage for whole-page-table zaps and memory pressure too. - "selftests/mm: separate GUP microbenchmarking from functional testing" (Sarthak Sharma): Untangle GUP benchmarking from correctness testing. Move the benchmark into tools/mm, add a standalone harness-based GUP selftest, and move shared helpers into tools/lib/mm. Give each tool one job instead of mixing timing measurements with correctness checks. Cover the mapping, pinning and batch-size combinations explicitly. - "mm: Switch device DAX to section-based vmemmap optimization" (Muchun Song): Apply section-based vmemmap optimization to device DAX. Rework the backing metadata layout to save memory while preserving the handling of device memory hotplug and its different alignment and lifetime requirements. - "mm: Introduce section-based vmemmap optimization for HugeTLB" (Muchun Song): Cut the memory consumed by HugeTLB's struct page array with section-based vmemmap optimization. Arrange the metadata so large huge pages need fewer backing pages, while keeping initialization, teardown and the various hugepage configurations straight. - "mm/huge_memory: clean up and decouple the anon and file split helpers" (Kairui Song): Separate anonymous and file-backed folio splitting, which have rather different locking and bookkeeping requirements. Move the work into separate helpers, drop dead checks and tidy swap-cache handling. Fix error paths, including one that could leave a folio frozen. Keep the swap cache cases separate from file-cache splitting. - "mm: Unconditional per-VMA locks and cleanups" (Dave Hansen): Make per-VMA locking unconditional and clean up the old conditional code around it. This removes configuration-dependent plumbing and lets callers depend on one locking model rather than carrying both cases along. - "memcg: remove the v1 soft limit" (Shakeel Butt): Remove the old cgroup v1 memory soft-limit machinery. This has long since been superseded by the newer memory-control interfaces; hauling around a separate reclaim scheme for it no longer buys us much. - "read proc/pid/smaps_rollup under per-vma lock" (Suren Baghdasaryan): Read /proc/PID/smaps_rollup using per-VMA locks where possible, rather than holding mmap_lock across the entire walk. Retain the contention fallback and add tearing tests. This considerably reduces latency when another thread is busy changing its mappings. - "mm/damon: introduce data access-as-a-data attribute" (SJ Park): Teach DAMON to expose memory access observations as data attributes, making them available to the probe and filtering machinery. Extend the interfaces, documentation and tests so the new information can be used rather than merely collected. - "Remove PG_private by using page/folio->private checks instead" (Zi Yan): Get rid of PG_private and use the folio's private pointer to say whether private data is attached. Convert the filesystem users, including erofs, f2fs and md, and clean up the old accessors and flags. There are a few special cases, notably swapcache and hugetlb, which need explicit care. - "mm: make userland page table freeing RCU-safe" (Lorenzo Stoakes): Make freeing userspace page tables safe against RCU readers. Sort out the page-table lifetime and locking rules so walkers cannot stumble over freed tables while mappings are being torn down. - "make unused huge shrinker memcg aware" (Qi Zheng): Make shmem's unused-huge-folio shrinker aware of memory cgroups, so reclaim can find those folios under the right memcg. Wire up the per-memcg tracking and its lifetime rules, and give the shrinklist its own lockdep class to avoid spurious dependency reports. - "mm: Drop pxd_ERROR()" (Anshuman Khandual): Remove the old pxd_ERROR() page-table checks and their architecture-specific baggage. Simplify the common page-table interfaces and callers now that these checks no longer serve a useful purpose. - "memcg: group struct fields by access pattern" (Shakeel Butt): Rearrange memcg's hot and cold fields according to how they're actually accessed. Keep frequently updated counters and their neighboring state from fighting over cachelines and reduce needless cacheline traffic. - "mm/damon/core: fix the size charged for a filter-trimmed region" (Donggeun Yoo): Fix DAMOS quota accounting when a filter trims a monitoring region. Charge only the part left after filtering, not the original region, and add KUnit coverage. Previously the excluded memory could eat into the quota and make schemes run more slowly than requested. - "mm/damon: add kunit and selftests for probes and probe weights" (SJ Park): Add more tests for DAMON probes and their weights, including validation and the results reported to userspace. This is mostly about catching regressions in the newer probe infrastructure before they become harder to diagnose. - "mm: memcontrol: constify the read side of the read side of the memcg API" (Tal Zussman): Mark the read-only parts of the memcg interface const, from folio and lruvec accessors to counters and swap helpers. Most of this is mechanical, but it makes the contracts clearer and lets the compiler catch accidental writes. - "mm/damon/vaddr: support {prep,apply}_probes" (SJ Park): Support the new prepare/apply probe operations in DAMON's virtual-address backend. This brings vaddr monitoring into line with the probe infrastructure and makes the added probe types useful there too. - "mm/mglru: clean up folio counters and flag usage" (Kairui Song): Simplify MGLRU's folio counters and flag handling. Remove redundant accounting paths and make the state transitions easier to follow without changing the intended reclaim policy. - "arch, mm/execmem: resolve confusion about set_direct_map_valid_noflush()" (Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)): Clarify and straighten out the set_direct_map_valid_noflush() interface across architectures and execmem. Make the requested mapping changes and the callers' expectations agree, rather than relying on subtly different architecture behavior. - "mm: zswap: free cold writeback folios promptly" (Alexandre Ghiti): Free zswap writeback folios as soon as their disk write completes. They are cold temporary buffers, so putting them on the LRU only makes reclaim rediscover them later. Extend swap-cache dropbehind and let zswap keep these folios off the LRU altogether. - "mm: gup: cleanup gup_fast call chain" (Aristeu Rozanski): Clean up the GUP-fast call chain and simplify how the fast-path helpers pass their arguments and results around. Keep the page-pin behavior the same while making the call sequence easier to maintain. - "mm: optimize zone-device memmap initialization" (Li Zhe): Speed up initialization of zone-device struct pages. Avoid redundant work when setting up large device-memory ranges, where touching every descriptor can get expensive. - "mm/zswap: shrink zswap_entry via a pool id" (Jianyue Wu): Reduce the size of zswap_entry by storing a compact pool identifier instead of a full pointer. Keep the pool lookup and lifetime handling correct while saving per-entry metadata. - "mm/damon: support access monitoring of hugetlb-backed memory" (Krishna Iyer): Let DAMON monitor hugetlb-backed memory too. Extend the relevant access checks and add coverage so those mappings no longer fall through a hole in the monitoring machinery. - "mm/execmem: fixes and cleanups for the ROX cache" (Mike Rapoport): Tidy execmem's read-only-executable cache and fix its handling of the awkward allocation and release cases. The aim is to make the cache's ownership and permission transitions more predictable. - "zsmallc: remove old object read API" (Sergey Senozhatsky): Drop zsmalloc's old object-read API and move its remaining users to the supported access mechanism. This removes a duplicate interface which we no longer need. - "mm/mempolicy: stop copying state in the interleave paths" (Gregory Price): Stop copying mempolicy state in the interleave paths when a reference to the existing policy will do. This avoids extra work and makes the ownership rules less obscure. - "mm/mglru: speed up inc_min_seq() and fix cold/hot inversions" (Barry Song): Make MGLRU's generation advancement cheaper and fix cases where cold and hot folios end up in the wrong order. Adjust the counter and list handling so reclaim doesn't keep passing over the better eviction candidates. - "mm: Fix MF_DELAYED handling on memory failure" (Lisa Wang): Treat MF_DELAYED as a partially completed memory-failure operation, not an outright failure. Propagate that result correctly through shmem and the generic handler, fix the extra-reference accounting, and add tests for the resulting SIGBUS behavior. - "tools/mm/page_owner_sort: fix --sort, add module filter, improve usage" (Ye Liu): Fix page_owner_sort's --sort handling, add module-based filtering and make the usage output more helpful. This makes the tool less frustrating when tracking down who is holding on to pages. - "mm/damon: move damos filter range arguments validation to core" (SJ Park): Move DAMOS filter range validation into the core, where all callers can share it. Also close the sysfs read-twice races which could pass inconsistent ranges, and add tests for invalid input. - "mm/damon: misc cleanups" (Zenghui Yu): Clean up a collection of small DAMON rough edges in the core, interfaces and tests. No large behavior change here, just simpler code and fewer opportunities for confusion. - "mm/damon: cleanup code, add test cases, and update guidances in docs" (SJ Park): Clean up DAMON's core and interfaces, add missing test cases and bring the documentation into line with the code. These changes should make the newer facilities easier to understand and maintain. - "mm/damon: introduce hugepage_size probe filter" (SJ Park): Add a DAMON probe filter for hugepage size. Let users select a range of folio sizes through sysfs, validate the range and document the new interface, so monitoring can concentrate on memory backed by the desired hugepage sizes. - "selftests/mm: pagemap_ioctl test fixes and cleanups" (Zenghui Yu): Fix some pagemap ioctl test assumptions and clean up their setup and reporting. Make failures point to the operation that went wrong rather than to test harness bookkeeping. - "mm: avoid large folio splits when swap is unavailable" (Johannes Weiner): Avoid splitting large folios merely to attempt swap when no swap space is available. There is little point paying for an expensive split when reclaim cannot actually swap the resulting pages out. - "mm: workingset: fix the shadow node budget under MGLRU" (Hui Zhu): Fix the workingset shadow-node budget with MGLRU enabled. Keep the shadow entries within the intended limits so refault tracking does not quietly consume more metadata than it should. - "selftests/mm: TAP output and global-state fixes" (Song Hu): Fix selftests which produce misleading TAP output or fail to restore global settings after a run. A test ought to leave the system as it found it, particularly when a whole suite follows behind. - "mm: remove page_swap_entry()" (Tal Zussman): Remove page_swap_entry() and convert its remaining users to the folio and swap-entry helpers. Lose an old page-level interface and make the swap paths a little more consistent. - "mm: refactor zonelist constructors and iterators" (Gregory Price): Refactor the zonelist construction and walk helpers to reduce duplicated logic. Keep the allocation ordering rules intact while making it clearer how zones are selected. - "mm: kmemleak: batch the struct page scan" (Breno Leitao): Scan adjacent struct pages in batches instead of taking kmemleak_lock once for every single page. This preserves scan coverage and the lock-hold bound, while cutting overhead substantially on debug kernels. - "mm/damon: misc improvements in tests and documents" (Zenghui Yu): Fix some DAMON selftests which leave kdamond running or fail under Python safe-path mode, and improve the KUnit coverage and documentation. Nothing especially glamorous, but these are worth doing. - "mm/damon: introduce probe_hits_wsum DAMOS core filter" (SJ Park): Add a DAMOS core filter using weighted probe-hit counts. This gives schemes another way to select regions based on what the monitoring probes observed. - "mm/mglru: fix ineffective memory protection for non-kswapd reclaim" (Ridong Chen): Fix MGLRU's memory protection handling for reclaim outside kswapd. The protection settings weren't having the intended effect in these paths, leaving protected memory more exposed than requested. - "mm/damon: improve readability, clarity and test coverage" (SJ Park): Simplify a handful of DAMON core helpers, clarify their behavior and expand test coverage. There are no intended userspace-visible changes in this batch. - "mm: replace PF_KCOMPACTD/PF_KSWAPD with kthread_func()" (Kefeng Wang): Stop identifying reclaim and compaction workers through the PF_KSWAPD and PF_KCOMPACTD task flags. Use their kthread functions instead and remove the redundant flag plumbing. - "mm/hugetlb: fix surplus accounting and availability checks during demotion" (Longlong Xia): Fix HugeTLB surplus accounting and availability checks when demoting huge pages. Keep the counters and reservation decisions consistent as one huge page turns into several smaller ones. - "mm/damon: add kunit tests for probe_hits handling and probe params validation" (Jason Angelov): Add KUnit tests for DAMON probe-hit handling and invalid probe parameters. These cover edge cases that were too easy to miss in ordinary monitoring tests. - "mm/damon: fix misc bugs in kunit, quota goals and sysfs refresh_ms" (SJ Park): Fix a few DAMON bugs in KUnit tests, quota-goal handling and the sysfs refresh interval. Small fixes, but the incorrect results and control behavior were real. - "mm: zswap: optimize zswap invalidate and store" (Kefeng Wang): Simplify zswap's invalidate and store paths to avoid avoidable lookups and work. Keep the entry lifetime rules intact while making those frequent operations cheaper. - "mm: replace custom ratelimiting logic" (Pedro Falcato): Replace hand-rolled MM rate limiting with the common kernel helpers. There is no need to maintain another local version of the same mechanism. - "mm/vmalloc: minor cleanups" (Ye Liu): Tidy some vmalloc initialization and reporting code, and pull duplicated vmap-area insertion work into a helper. No functional changes are intended. - "mm/mglru: clean up isolate_folios for readability and clarity" (Ridong Chen): Clean up MGLRU's isolate_folios() so the decisions are easier to read and verify. Keep reclaim behavior unchanged while removing unnecessary twists in the control flow. - "Catch automatic storage in IDA and Maple Tree definitions" (Yury Norov): Catch IDA and maple-tree definitions placed in automatic storage where the lifetime rules are wrong or easy to get wrong. Add checks so such mistakes are harder to slip through unnoticed. - "mm, swap: some random fixes and cleanups" (Kemeng Shi): Fix and simplify a few unrelated swap paths, removing redundant work and tidying up error handling. A small collection of things which were better fixed than left lying around. - "mm/page_io: folio conversion cleanups" (Tal Zussman): Finish some page-to-folio conversions in swap I/O, removing obsolete wrappers and using folio operations consistently. The I/O behavior is intended to remain the same. - "mm/swap: skip empty clusters in the swapoff scan" (Youngjun Park): Skip empty swap clusters during swapoff instead of walking slots which have nothing to release. This avoids pointless work on sparsely used swap devices. - "mm: trace: decode architecture-specific VMA flags" (Meijing Zhao): Teach the VMA trace output to decode architecture-specific flags, rather than leaving them as unexplained bits. That should make tracing a good deal more useful when debugging unusual mappings. - "mm, swap: don't spin on a bad swap entry" (Breno Leitao): Stop repeatedly retrying a swap entry which is already known to be bad. Make the error path terminate cleanly instead of wasting CPU chasing an entry that cannot be used. - "mm/page_isolation: fix UBSAN shift-out-of-bounds in isolate_single_pageblock" (Qi Xi): Fix an out-of-range shift in isolate_single_pageblock() and tighten its associated boundary handling. UBSAN found the issue; the result should be more robust pageblock isolation. - "mm: khugepaged: fix tracepoint UAF" (Vernon Yang): Fix a use-after-free in khugepaged tracepoint handling. Make sure the information recorded by tracing stays valid for as long as the trace event needs it. - "mm/damon: fix DAMOS bugs in core, paddr and vaddr" (SJ Park): Fix several DAMOS problems across the core and physical- and virtual-address backends. The changes close error cases and bring the implementations back into agreement. - "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: move the per-node usage along with the folio" (Hongfu Li): Move HugeTLB per-node usage accounting when folios migrate between nodes or are reparented to another cgroup. Otherwise numa_stat can retain stale charges and even underflow when the folio is freed. - "docs/core-api: memory-allocation: add k[mz]alloc_obj() and clarify kmalloc" (Mike Rapoport): Document the typed k[mz]alloc_obj() allocation helpers and clear up some kmalloc guidance. Make it easier for callers to choose the right interface. - "selftests/mm: Validate selections and scope memfd_secret setup" (Tianyi Chen): Check selftest selections before running and confine memfd_secret setup to the cases that actually need it. Avoid confusing failures caused by the test harness itself. - "mm/damon: move zero damos quota target_value handling to the core layer" (SJ Park): Handle a zero DAMOS quota goal target in the core rather than making each user of the interface invent its own rule. Keep quota decisions consistent across callers. - "mm/damon: Introduce a huge page collapsing mechanism using auto tuning" (Asier Gutierrez): Add an auto-tuned DAMON mechanism for collapsing huge pages. Use monitoring feedback to decide when collapse is worthwhile rather than forcing one fixed policy onto every workload. - "kmemleak: fix stale documentation and raise the verbose default" (Breno Leitao): Bring the kmemleak documentation up to date and require a third confirming scan before verbose kernels print a suspected leak. The extra scan helps suppress transient false positives in noisy debug builds. - "mm/memory: improve insert_pages() error handling" (Avi Weiss): Tighten insert_pages() error handling so partial failures are reported and cleaned up consistently. The caller should not have to guess how far the operation got. - "mm/damon: allow NULL or unstarted damon_ctx parameter for damon_call()" (SJ Park): Make damon_call() handle NULL and not-yet-started contexts safely. Simplify the rules for callers and avoid an indefinite wait on an invalid state. - "mm/damon: introduce pgidle_set probe filter type" (SJ Park): Add a pgidle_set DAMON probe filter, giving monitoring users another way to select pages by their idle-tracking state. Wire it through the filter interfaces and tests. - "mm/damon/core: remove unused helper functions" (Cheng-Han Wu): Remove DAMON core helpers which no longer have callers. Keep the API surface smaller rather than retaining dead code just in case. - "mm: stop calling pmd_folio() on special PMDs" (Gregory Price): Avoid calling pmd_folio() on special PMD mappings that have no struct page. The old assumption could fault in procfs walkers; use the normal-folio checks and handle those mappings properly. - "mm: remove three unused helpers from mm.h" (Tal Zussman): Remove three unused helpers from mm.h. Fewer obsolete interfaces for the next person to stumble over. - "mm/damon: improvements in efficiency, error handling, documents" (Liew Rui Yan): Skip needless DAMOS quota work once the quota is full, propagate a missing sysfs error and tidy a couple of comments. The ignored error could make a monitoring-start request appear successful when it wasn't. - "docs/mm/damon/design: add explanation of nr_snapshots" (Liew Rui Yan): Explain DAMON's nr_snapshots accounting in the design documentation and straighten out the associated terminology. Make it clearer what users should expect from that counter. - "selftests/cgroup: fixes for test_zswap on single core VM" (Wilson Felipe Pereira): Fix two test_zswap failures on single-CPU VMs. Wait for the exiting child's cgroup to become unpopulated before reconfiguring it, and avoid another test assumption which breaks under constrained scheduling. - "docs/ksm: fix advisor documentation and comment" (Jinjiang Tu): Correct the KSM advisor documentation and a misleading code comment. Keep the description aligned with how the advisor actually works. - "Fix bugs in HugeTLB allocation when mem_cgroup_charge_hugetlb() fails" (Ackerley Tng): Fix HugeTLB allocation cleanup when the memcg charge fails. Make sure failure exits undo what was allocated rather than leaving stale accounting or resources behind. - "mm, memcg: fix memory.peak reset clobbering other fds' watermark" (Ridong Chen): Fix memory.peak reset handling so resetting one file descriptor doesn't overwrite the watermark kept for another. Keep those per-open measurements independent as intended. - "mm: reject zone device folios in more folio walkers" (Gregory Price): Reject zone-device folios in page walkers that cannot safely handle them. Extend the existing checks rather than assuming every folio has ordinary system-memory backing. - "percpu: remove code with no effect" (Sang-Heon Jeon): Remove a few pieces of percpu code which no longer do anything. There is no reason to keep maintaining dead paths. * tag 'mm-stable-2026-10-19-21-33' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (539 commits) mm: shmem: assign a lock class to the unused huge shrinklist mm: vmscan: put rotation-missed folios at the LRU tail mm: kmemleak: scan the struct page array in MAX_SCAN_SIZE batches mm: kmemleak: move the struct page scan into a helper mm/damon: document that a zero sample_interval is accepted mm/damon: fix typos in comments mm/damon/sysfs: propagate damon_call() error in turn_damon_on mm/damon/core: skip quota score setup when the quota is full mm/damon/tests/core-kunit: test the size charged for a filter-trimmed region mm/damon/core: charge only the part of a region the filter left mm: disallow raw PFN mappings of huge/shared zeropage selftests/mm: zap whole PTE tables in the khugepaged race harness selftests/mm: add memory-pressure threads to the khugepaged race harness selftests/mm: race the collapse of windows with holes selftests/mm: add khugepaged race harness selftests/mm: check that one khugepaged pass collapses one window selftests/mm: run every supported collapse order by default selftests/mm: cover a shared-source collapse write race selftests/mm: parameterize the mixed-source collapse case by source order selftests/mm: add order-parameterized khugepaged collapse cases ...

Core & protocols: - Continue the work on removing rtnl_lock dependencies: - per-netns ARP and ND neighbour tables, with the default settings now configurable per netns (inheritance from init_net is controlled by the new net.core.neigh_inherit_init_net sysctl) - RCU-protected configuration and rtnl_lock-less fill_info() for hsr, netkit, sit, vlan and vxlan devices - per-netns device unregistration for ip tunnel and gre devices - use the netdev instance lock instead of rtnl_lock when reading speed and duplex via sysfs - batch the flushing of uncached routes at device unregistration time, relieving rtnl_lock contention on netns dismantle. - Add hardware pacing offload support, admin-controlled via a new rtnetlink attribute, with sch_fq integration (implemented in idpf). - Re-segment BIG TCP GSO packets into GSO packets fitting the egress device limits instead of plain MSS-sized segments, improving throughput for mixed BIG TCP / non-BIG TCP paths by up to 70%. - Generate RSS keys that spread flows over all the RX queues; the previous random keys could leave some queues unused. - Optimize the bridge VLAN forwarding paths: cache the port-VLAN in fdb entries and consider only VLAN members when flooding, for ~10% more Mpps in the fdb forwarding path. - A few TCP/IP performance improvements aimed at efficient cache usage and reducing contention. - Add the TCP ROCCET congestion control, a CUBIC variant aimed at avoiding bufferbloat in cellular networks. - Continue the conversion of getsockopt callbacks to sockopt_t. - Add an ethtool command to list the front-facing ports of an interface, including SFP cages and modules, using the phy_port representation. - Enable BIG TCP support for bareudp tunnels. - Remove the IPV6_ADDRFORM socket option and disallow buggy TCP state transitions (listen() + shutdown() + connect() and connect() + connect(AF_UNSPEC) + listen()). - Remove most BUG_ON()s from core packet processing, replacing them with error paths. Wireless: - Latency improvements, including lockless station get/dump and beacon updates, plus RTNL reduction and locking cleanups. - Infrastructure for non-station TX/RX with MLO. - NAN (Wi-Fi Aware) Instant Communication support and other NAN improvements. - Control frame Integrity Protocol (CIP) and protected TWT support. - Improvements for AP regulatory checks.

13 daysbpf: Add unwind_goto and unwind_exit insnsAlexei Starovoitov
Rust Drop, C++ destructors and __attribute__((cleanup)) in C have to run when a panic or an exception passes through a frame. v1 [1] did it with a flag in r3 and 'if r3 != 0 goto pad' after the call. Three bugs that the bots found there had the same cause: r3 is an ordinary register, and JITs guessed the meaning from the shape of the code. Kumar suggested new insns instead [2]: unwind_goto pad BPF_JMP | BPF_JCOND, src_reg = BPF_UNWIND_GOTO unwind_exit BPF_JMP | BPF_EXIT, src_reg = BPF_UNWIND_EXIT 'call foo; unwind_goto pad' goes to the pad when foo left with unwind_exit and falls through when it left with exit. No register says which one it was. In everything else unwind_exit is exit. llvm lowers unwinding to them [3]: ret exit invoke foo unwind pad call foo; unwind_goto pad resume r0 = 0; unwind_exit call _Unwind_RaiseException r0 = 0; unwind_exit invoke _Unwind_RaiseException goto pad In a function that returns 16 bytes it's 'r0 = 0; r2 = 0; unwind_exit'. Landing pads are ordinary blocks, so the verifier checks them like any other code. A pad that forgets to drop a lock or a reference is a leak on that path. There are no tables, no stack walk, no kfuncs, no BTF and nothing to do for libbpf and other loaders. In the verifier: - unwind_goto has to follow a call or callx of a subprog and cannot be a jump target. For cfg, liveness and the rest it's one more conditional jump, like may_goto. - How the callee left is one bit of the verifier state. It lives from the exit of the callee to the next insn. states_equal() looks at it, since the registers can be the same either way. - unwind_exit is rejected when unwind_goto doesn't follow the call. - A global subprog that has unwind_exit can leave either way. Both are explored after the call, like it's done for might_throw. - A sync callback cannot unwind. The helper that calls it doesn't expect that: bpf_loop() would go on. - unwind_exit of the main prog is exit, unless it's an extension. So it is in async and exception callbacks. The kernel calls them, and there is no frame to unwind to. - An extension leaves either way, like the subprog that it replaced. freplace is a jump, so the extension returns to the caller of the subprog. An extension that has unwind_exit can replace only a subprog that has it too. Otherwise there is no unwind_goto after the calls. - Of tracing progs only fentry can attach to a subprog or an extension that has unwind_exit. It would return to the trampoline that called it. - unwind_exit changes its return address, so the cpu mispredicts the return and runs what follows unwind_goto speculatively. Without CAP_PERFMON the verifier looks at that path too. - unwind_goto goes away together with a pad that turned out to be dead code. It stays when what follows it is dead code. The cpu predicts that the callee returns there, so 'goto pc-1' takes the place of the dead code. Otherwise its removal would move other code there. JITs don't emit a branch: unwind_goto: extable[n++] = { ret_addr - 1 -> pad } unwind_exit: my_ret_addr = bpf_unwind_target(my_ret_addr) epilogue So exit and the normal path after the call cost nothing. Every frame fixes only its own return address. There is no stack walk. The lookup is what the page fault handler does for bpf progs. The interpreter cannot do that, so the prog has to be JITed, and JITs opt in with bpf_jit_supports_unwind(). x86-64 and arm64 are in the next patches. BPF_JCOND is the same opcode as BPF_CALL_ARGS of the interpreter, and BPF_UNWIND_GOTO is the same number as BPF_PSEUDO_CALL. may_goto is gone by the time a prog is dumped, unwind_goto is not. bpf_insn_prepare_dump() tells them apart: a prog with unwind_goto is always JITed. Compared to v1 there is no BTF decl_tag and no 'r3 = 0' before every exit. Tail call and ld_abs are fine in a subprog that can unwind, since they leave it like exit does. unwind_exit doesn't set r0. An implicit definition of r0 would need special cases in backtracking, in liveness and in the check of the return value of the main prog. A plain 'r0 = 0' in front of it needs none. Rust rust-bpf [4] builds with that llvm as it is. The programs are built with -C panic=unwind. The panic handler prints the message and calls _Unwind_RaiseException(). exc_cleanup.rs panics three frames deep, with preemption disabled in one frame and rcu_read_lock held in another. All Drop impls run and the prog returns 0. scx_simple.rs is 2195 insns with 48 unwind_goto, 20 of them after callx, and 16 unwind_exit. With r3 it was 2216 insns. scx_cosmos.rs is 3694 insns with 68 and 18. It was 3716. C++ Exceptions work too. This compiles, loads and runs: struct rcu_guard { rcu_guard() { bpf_rcu_read_lock(); } ~rcu_guard() { bpf_rcu_read_unlock(); } }; static __noinline int inner(int len) { rcu_guard guard; if (len > 100) throw 1; return len; } SEC("tc") int prog(struct __sk_buff *skb) { try { return inner(skb->len); } catch (...) { return 42; } } It returns 64 for a packet of 64 bytes and 42 for a packet of 200 bytes. The destructor runs in both cases, otherwise the verifier would reject the prog. 'throw' is a jump to the pad with the destructor. 'catch' is unwind_goto: inner: w6 = w1 call bpf_rcu_read_lock if w6 s< 101 goto ret r1 = exc_obj ll *(u32 *)(r1 + 0) = 1 goto pad ret: call bpf_rcu_read_unlock w0 = w6 exit pad: call bpf_rcu_read_unlock r0 = 0 unwind_exit prog: w6 = *(u32 *)(r1 + 0) w1 = w6 call inner unwind_goto catch out: w0 = w6 exit catch: w6 = 42 goto out It needs -fexceptions -funwind-tables and four one line __cxa_*() functions, where __cxa_throw() calls _Unwind_RaiseException(). Every pad is entered whatever was thrown, so llvm takes catch (...) only. It's a selftest in patch 5.

2026-10-15tools/include: Add Linux-syscall-note to uapi/linux/types.hMarco Vedovati
tools/include/uapi/linux/types.h is the only header under tools/include/uapi/linux/ whose SPDX identifier lacks the Linux-syscall-note exception. The file was originally added as tools/testing/selftests/bpf/include/uapi/linux/types.h by commit 0a5539f66133 ("bpf: Provide a linux/types.h override for bpf selftests.") without any license header. Then commit 579f1d926c66 ("selftests/bpf: fix broken build due to types.h") added type definitions copied from include/uapi/linux/types.h, which is licensed under GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note. Commit b24413180f56 ("License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license") tagged it GPL-2.0, along with other headers under tools/include/uapi/. Those other headers were switched to GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note shortly after by commit fb7df12d645c ("tools/headers: Synchronize kernel ABI headers"), when they were synchronized with their kernel counterparts. This file is only a partial copy of include/uapi/linux/types.h, not kept in sync with it, so it kept the GPL-2.0 identifier, also after commit bcd66b10b5e9 ("tools/bpf: Move linux/types.h for selftests and bpftool") moved it to its current location. Use the same identifier as include/uapi/linux/types.h.

2026-10-10bpf: tcp: Introduce bpf_tcp_ops.{enqueue,dequeue}_rcvq().Kuniyuki Iwashima
Waking up a thread per packet is expensive when an application processes variable-length frames (e.g., RPC) that span multiple packets. SO_RCVLOWAT can defer wakeups, but because the frame size is encoded in a fixed-size descriptor at the start of each frame, the application has to: 1. wake up and recv() the descriptor, 2. raise SO_RCVLOWAT to the payload size via setsockopt(), 3. wake up and recv() the payload, and 4. reset SO_RCVLOWAT back to the descriptor size via setsockopt() for the next frame. This requires an extra wakeup and two setsockopt() syscalls for every single RPC frame. With SOCKMAP, we can parse skb and suppress wakeups in kernel, but SOCKMAP adds overhead and also kills zerocopy. Let's add lighter-weight opt-in callbacks to bpf_tcp_ops to replace that. .enqueue_rcvq(): invoked when TCP stack enqueues skb to sk->sk_receive_queue .dequeue_rcvq(): invoked in tcp_cleanup_rbuf() after data is dequeued from sk->sk_receive_queue Those callbacks can be enabled on a per-socket basis by bpf_tcp_ops_set_flags(): bpf_tcp_ops_set_flags((struct tcp_sock *)sk, BPF_TCP_OPS_FLAG_RCVQ, 0); Later, we will add a new kfunc to adjust sk->sk_rcvlowat from these callbacks. This will allow the bpf_tcp_ops prog to parse each skb and dynamically adjust sk->sk_rcvlowat to suppress unnecessary EPOLLIN wakeups until sufficient data is available in the receive queue. The placement of bpf_tcp_ops_call() in tcp_ofo_queue() and tcp_fastopen_add_skb() is chosen to provide the same snapshot as tcp_queue_rcv(). For example, if bpf_tcp_ops_call() were called before updating TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq in tcp_fastopen_add_skb(), BPF prog would need an extra branch for the unlikely TFO case to strip SYN. In addition, the TCP stack can queue overlapping skbs into recvq. Once rcv_nxt is updated with a new skb, BPF prog can no longer infer the previous rcv_nxt from skb->len. Lastly, dequeue_rcvq() is placed in tcp_cleanup_rbuf() rather than __tcp_cleanup_rbuf() so that it is not called for sockets in SOCKMAP, where calling sk->sk_data_ready() from the new kfunc would otherwise trigger infinite recursion.

2026-10-10bpf: tcp: Add a new per-socket flag and kfunc for bpf_tcp_ops.Kuniyuki Iwashima
The legacy SOCK_OPS guards some hooks with a per-socket flag, tp->bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags. In contrast, bpf_tcp_ops was initially designed without per-socket flags so that users can simply define only the callbacks they need. However, it turned out that even attaching a bpf_tcp_ops with a NULL callback incurs measurable overhead in the fast path. [0] We could reuse tp->bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags, but it is u8 and has only 1 bit left for a new opt-in callback, while not all of the 7 existing opt-in hooks are in the fast path and really need a flag guard. Moreover, tp->bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags has two bpf helper functions to update it, both of which require sock_owned_by_me(sk): * bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags_set() * bpf_setsockopt(TCP_BPF_SOCK_OPS_CB_FLAGS) Both helpers only overwrite the field, which leads to reading and modifying the flags in the BPF prog and then writing them back via the helper. This prevents use from the fast path (tc or cgroup_skb) hooks where bh_lock_sock() alone cannot prevent races with process context. Let's add a new u32 field, tp->bpf_tcp_ops_flags, at the end of the tcp_sock_read_txrx cacheline group, along with a new kfunc, bpf_tcp_ops_set_flags(). bpf_tcp_ops_set_flags() takes bitmasks of flags to enable and disable and updates tp->bpf_tcp_ops_flags atomically via try_cmpxchg() without relying on lock_sock(). The kfunc is exposed to bpf_tcp_ops, BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCKOPT, and BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SKB. The first argument is struct tcp_sock * so that bpf_tcp_sock() etc is required for cgroup hooks, but not for bpf_tcp_ops where struct sock * is promoted to struct tcp_sock * automatically. The fast-path callbacks will be guarded by the new flags in a later patch after updating the existing selftest to avoid breaking bisection.

2026-10-08compiler.h: add ASSERT_STATIC_STORAGE()Yury Norov
Patch series "Catch automatic storage in IDA and Maple Tree definitions". A 0day report [1] from the region allocation benchmark exposed a lockdep initialization bug: a stack-local Maple Tree used MTREE_INIT(), whose embedded lock has a static initializer. On the first allocation, lockdep rejected the lock address as a non-static class key and disabled locking validation. The IDA benchmark had the same issue, masked because it ran after Maple Tree had already disabled lockdep. The fix [2] switches the test to using mt_init_flags() and ida_init(). This series adds a compile-time check to the related DEFINE_IDA() and DEFINE_MTREE() declaration macros to catch the same class of mistake earlier. Patch 1 introduces ASSERT_STATIC_STORAGE(). It declares an unused static pointer initialized with the object's address, requiring that address to be a valid static initializer. Patches 2 and 3 apply the helper to IDA and Maple Tree definitions, respectively. The helper is mirrored in the tools compiler header. The existing automatic local IDAs and Maple Trees in the userspace radix-tree tests are converted to runtime initialization. The interval-tree span test keeps its existing mt_init_flags() call and uses a plain Maple Tree declaration. For example, an automatic local definition: void example(void) { DEFINE_IDA(ida); ida_destroy(&ida); } now produces: error: initializer element is not constant note: in expansion of macro 'ASSERT_STATIC_STORAGE' note: in expansion of macro 'DEFINE_IDA' File-scope definitions and static local definitions remain valid. Automatic local objects should use ida_init(), mt_init(), or mt_init_flags(). The check is limited to declaration macros. Direct uses of IDA_INIT(), MTREE_INIT(), and MTREE_INIT_EXT() remain unchanged. The helper cannot be inserted directly into those initializer expressions because it expands to a declaration. Validated by GCC and Clang checks accepting static storage and rejecting automatic storage The userspace IDR/IDA and Maple Tree test are passed as well. This patch (of 3): Static lock initializers rely on a persistent object address when lockdep assigns a lock-class key. Using such an initializer for an automatic local object can compile successfully but disable lockdep on the first lock acquisition. Add ASSERT_STATIC_STORAGE() for declaration macros that require static storage duration. It declares an unused static pointer initialized with the object's address. An automatic local object's address is not a valid static initializer, so the compiler rejects it. Mirror the helper in tools/include/linux/compiler.h because the userspace radix-tree tests include the kernel IDA and Maple Tree headers with the tools compiler definitions. For example: void example(void) { int object; ASSERT_STATIC_STORAGE(object); } GCC reports: error: initializer element is not constant name##_storage_check = &(name) ^ note: in expansion of macro 'ASSERT_STATIC_STORAGE' ASSERT_STATIC_STORAGE(object); File-scope objects and static local objects remain valid. The helper takes an object identifier and must be used as a declaration after that object has been declared.

2026-10-06seccomp: allow restarting interrupted unreceived notificationsCong Wang
An interrupted user notification wait returns ERESTARTSYS before the syscall body has run. If the notifying task's handler for the delivered signal was installed without SA_RESTART, that task sees EINTR even for calls whose callers do not expect it. This can make fork fail unexpectedly or make close report EINTR while leaving the descriptor open. A leaked pipe write end can prevent readers from seeing EOF. The supervisor cannot repair this result once the interrupted task removes the notification. If removal happens before receipt, the supervisor never receives that request; a reply using its ID would fail with ENOENT. Receiving notifications eagerly only narrows the scheduling window. WAIT_KILLABLE_RECV protects supervisor processing after receipt, but deliberately leaves the pre-receive wait interruptible. A sandbox also cannot transparently fix this in the target. It cannot require arbitrary workloads to retry calls such as fork and close. Retrying close on EINTR is unsafe when the native syscall has already released the descriptor. Forcing SA_RESTART on application handlers would change cancellation behavior for other blocking calls. Sandlock encounters this while mediating process creation to enforce process limits. For example, dash installs its SIGCHLD handler without SA_RESTART. While dash is creating a pipeline, an earlier child can exit and generate SIGCHLD while dash waits for a fork notification to be received. The interrupted wait then makes fork return EINTR, causing dash to report "Cannot fork". Removing fork from notification mediation would bypass the process-limit enforcement that sandlock needs. Add SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_RESTART_BEFORE_RECV, requiring NEW_LISTENER. Under notify_lock, convert an interrupted wait's ERESTARTSYS to ERESTARTNOINTR only while the notification remains INIT. The notifying task's signal handler still runs; if it returns normally, syscall entry and the filter are evaluated again. Keep this opt-in because commit c2aa2dfef243 ("seccomp: Add wait_killable semantic to seccomp user notifier") deliberately preserved pre-receipt interruption so workloads could abandon requests before the supervisor starts processing them. The flag can be combined with WAIT_KILLABLE_RECV to defer non-fatal signals after receipt. Neither supervisor-supplied errors nor the native syscall's restart behavior is changed.

2026-10-03bpf: Treat load and store through a number as arena accessAlexei Starovoitov
There are no address spaces in Rust. LLVM emits plain loads and stores for arena memory, without cast_kern: r3 = 0x20 ll // R_BPF_64_64 .bss, libbpf puts it into arena r2 = *(u64 *)(r3 + 0) // R3 invalid mem access 'scalar' lock *(u64 *)(r2 + 8) += r1 Add BPF_F_ARENA_SCALAR flag of BPF_PROG_LOAD. When the program is loaded with it and has an arena treat ldx, stx, st and atomics through a number as arena access. It's as safe as access through PTR_TO_ARENA: JIT adds the base of arena to the low 32 bits of the address. The program has an arena only with CAP_BPF and CAP_PERFMON. Registers of the program are not changed, since Rust compares and stores the address after the access. bpf_do_misc_fixups() copies the low 32 bits into BPF_REG_AX and the access goes through it: r2 = *(u64 *)(r3 + 0) -> w12 = w3 r2 = *(u64 *)(r12 + 0) Constant blinding needs BPF_REG_AX for immediates and leaves insns that use BPF_REG_AX alone. So the immediate of st through a number is not blinded, the rest of the program is: *(u64 *)(r3 + 0) = 1 -> w12 = w3 *(u64 *)(r12 + 0) = 1 The same insn may see PTR_TO_ARENA on another path. It works for both. It's a flag, since a number is also what the verifier makes of a pointer that went away when the program has CAP_PERFMON: a ringbuf record after bpf_ringbuf_submit(), a pointer to the packet after bpf_skb_pull_data(). Programs in C that have an arena keep "invalid mem access 'scalar'" for such bugs. JIT tells with bpf_jit_supports_arena_scalar() that it takes BPF_REG_AX as the address of arena access. With other JITs the flag is rejected with -EOPNOTSUPP. x86 and arm64 do: - x86: the fault handler finds the register that holds the address through reg2pt_regs[]. Add BPF_REG_AX, r10 of x86, there. - arm64: nothing else is needed. The JIT takes any register as the address and the fault handler reads it by its number. Compile tested only. Any number is an address of arena, NULL and small numbers included, like it is for PTR_TO_ARENA: arena code in C dereferences NULL and relies on the fault being handled. Still rejected: - insn that sees a number on one path and a pointer that is not PTR_TO_ARENA on another. - numbers passed to helpers and kfuncs, except __arena arguments.

2026-09-30tools/nolibc: check for overflow in malloc()Danish Khateeb
malloc() adds the size of its header to the requested size without checking for overflow. For a size within the header size of SIZE_MAX, the sum wraps around to a few bytes, and malloc() returns a single page instead of NULL. calloc() checks its multiplication for overflow, but then passes the product to malloc(), so calloc(SIZE_MAX, 1) returns a single page too. So does realloc(ptr, SIZE_MAX). Such a size is usually a bug in the caller, for instance a length of -1 used as a size_t, and returning a page instead of NULL can turn it into a heap overflow. Fail with ENOMEM when adding the header overflows, as glibc does for sizes this large.

Since commit feaf75658783 ("nolibc: fix fd_set type"), an fd_set is an array of unsigned long, but the FD_* macros still build their masks as an int or an unsigned int: 1 << n in FD_SET(), 1U << n in FD_CLR() and FD_ISSET(), where n is the fd modulo 64 on 64-bit architectures. So: - FD_SET() of an fd with n == 31 sets the bits for n = 31-63, as 1 << 31 is negative and gets sign-extended. - For n >= 32 the shifts are undefined. x86-64, for instance, masks the shift count, so FD_SET(40) and FD_ISSET(40) use the bit of fd 8. - FD_CLR() zero-extends ~(1U << n), so it also clears the bits for n = 32-63, whichever fd it is given. select() on fd 40, for instance, fails with EBADF, or watches fd 8 instead if that one is open.

2026-09-26tools/nolibc: fix readdir_r() with 64-bit directory offsetsDanish Khateeb
readdir_r() stores the result of _sys_lseek() in an int. Directory offsets are opaque cookies which can use all 64 bits: ext4, for instance, gives 64-bit processes 63-bit hashes, and 0x7fffffffffffffff as the offset after the last entry. Truncated to an int, such an offset is negative about half the time, and readdir_r() takes it for an error. Since commit 4ada5679f18d ("tools/nolibc/dirent: avoid errno in readdir_r"), readdir_r() fails at the first entry whose offset has bit 31 set, which on ext4 is usually one of the first few, and returns the truncated offset as the error number. Before that, only -1 counted as an error, which the last entry always hits: readdir_r() then returned errno, usually 0, without filling in the entry, so the caller got the previous entry a second time and never saw the last one. 32-bit processes get 31-bit hashes from ext4 and are not affected. Keep the offset in an off_t.

2026-09-25bpf: Add file descriptor interface for program streamsKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi
The existing BPF_PROG_STREAM_READ_BY_FD command only supports polling a program stream through repeated bpf() calls. It cannot block for new data or integrate with poll-based event loops. Add BPF_PROG_STREAM_OPEN to return a read-only, close-on-exec file descriptor for a selected program stream. Reads block by default and BPF_F_STREAM_NONBLOCK, the only accepted flag, provides non-blocking behavior. poll reports readable data and reports hangup once the program has been freed. Like pipes and sockets, the descriptor is not seekable and lseek fails with ESPIPE. A stream descriptor deliberately does not retain the program. Move each stream into a separately refcounted allocation so program teardown can mark it dead and wake descriptor users while outstanding descriptors drain buffered data safely. Readers sample the dead flag before looking for data, so EOF is reported only when the stream was already dead before it was found empty; data published right before teardown is never skipped. Only programs loaded through BPF_PROG_LOAD get streams. Classic BPF filters, JIT subprograms and shim programs never write to one, and kernel-side writers already resolve a subprogram to its main program, so those programs no longer carry stream state. Readiness needs its own counter. Stream capacity is charged before allocation and before an element is published to the stream log, so using that reservation as the read and poll condition can report readable data while no element exists: a blocking reader retries instead of sleeping and a lone non-blocking reader can see POLLIN followed by EAGAIN. Publish bytes with release ordering after adding elements to the lockless log, use acquire loads before consuming them or reporting readiness, limit each read to its readable snapshot and subtract only bytes actually copied. This keeps the aggregate count correct even when concurrent publishers update it out of publication order. With several readers on one stream, readiness remains advisory, as it is for pipes. The capacity counter is kept solely for enforcing the stream size limit. Wakeups are always deferred through irq_work. Stream writers run in whatever context the program runs in: NMI context for perf_event programs, sections with interrupts disabled inside bpf_spin_lock or rqspinlock critical sections since bpf_stream_vprintk() is KF_SPINLOCK_SAFE, and tracing programs attached anywhere in the kernel, including inside the wait queue and epoll code itself. Waking waiters directly from there can deadlock, and no cheap context check covers every case: on PREEMPT_RT, spinlock_t sections do not disable interrupts, so in_nmi() or irqs_disabled() cannot tell such a program apart from a benign one. Queue an irq_work item instead, as bpf_ringbuf does. Queue it only when a publication turns an empty stream readable. Readers block and pollers wait only after finding the stream empty, and the readable count never drops below zero because each read is bounded by its snapshot, so the first publication after such an observation is the one that makes the count positive, and it is the one that queues the wakeup. Publications into a stream that already holds data raise no interrupt, so a program that prints while nobody drains its stream pays for a single irq_work until the stream is emptied again. This matches bpf_ringbuf, which notifies only once the consumer has caught up. Blocking readers and level-triggered pollers re-check the readable count before waiting, so they cannot miss data, and edge-triggered epoll consumers drain until EAGAIN before waiting again, as epoll(7) requires. Synchronize pending work before releasing the final stream reference so the callback cannot outlive the stream, but only when the work was ever queued: irq_work_sync() waits for an RCU grace period on PREEMPT_RT and on architectures without an irq_work interrupt.

2026-09-24tools/nolibc: fix verrx() and errx() message formattingDanish Khateeb
verrx() passes its va_list to warnx() instead of vwarnx(). warnx() is variadic, so it takes the va_list as its first and only argument, and the conversions in the format string print the va_list itself and then whatever is left in the following argument slots. On x86_64, for instance, errx(1, "int args: %d %d %d", 1, 2, 3); prints something like "int args: -1699009032 1 2", where the first number comes from the address of the va_list and changes from run to run, and errx(1, "%d %s", 1234, "foo"); crashes with SIGSEGV, as "%s" takes a leftover argument slot for the string. errx() goes through verrx(), so every message with arguments printed by either of them is wrong. Call vwarnx() from verrx(), as verr() calls vwarn().

2026-09-24btf: Extend UAPI to support BTF location (inline site) infoAlan Maguire
Add BTF_KIND_LOC_PARAM, BTF_KIND_LOC_PROTO and BTF_KIND_LOCSEC to help represent location information for functions. BTF_KIND_LOC_PARAM is used to represent how we retrieve data at a location; either via register(s), or register+offset, a dereference of a register+offset or a constant value. BTF_KIND_LOC_PROTO represents location information about a location with multiple BTF_KIND_LOC_PARAMs. And finally BTF_KIND_LOCSEC is a set of location sites, each of which has - a BTF_KIND_FUNC function associated with the inline site - a location prototype specifying where to find the function parameters - an address offset relative to the kernel base address This can be used to support representing - a fully-inlined function at potentially multiple inline sites with potentially different parameter availability - a partially-inlined function where some _LOC_PROTOs represent inlined sites as above and others have normal _FUNC representations Also BTF_KIND_LOCSEC struct btf_loc will have two type id references; one for the associated func, the other for the loc_proto. Accordingly increase the number of m_offs references in btf_field_desc to 2.

2026-09-24tools/nolibc: fix WIFSIGNALED() for status 0Danish Khateeb
WIFSIGNALED() needs the subtraction to wrap around for status 0, so that only 1 to 0xff, a terminating signal with or without the core dump flag, pass the check. But status is an int, and 0 - 1 is -1, which is less than 0xff. A child that exits with 0 is therefore reported as both exited and killed, and a caller that tests WIFSIGNALED() first sees "killed by signal 0". Make the subtraction unsigned, as musl does in the same macro.

With 32-bit pointers and a 64-bit phys_addr_t, GCC warns about the pointer-to-integer cast in virt_to_phys(). It can also sign-extend pointers whose top bit is set, turning 0x80000000 into 0xffffffff80000000. Use __pa() to convert through unsigned long before widening the result. This preserves the unsigned pointer value and matches the other address conversion helpers.

2026-09-22bpf: Add bpf_call_rcu() kfuncPuranjay Mohan
BPF programs that manage their own objects have no way to run their own logic once an RCU grace period has elapsed. bpf_obj_drop() defers a free, but returning an index to an allocator or unpinning a resource once readers are done has no equivalent. sched_ext's BPF library works around this today by pushing freed nodes onto a list and having a userspace thread call membarrier(MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL) and then run a BPF program to reclaim them. Add: int bpf_call_rcu(struct bpf_rcu_head *rh, void *map, int (*callback)(struct bpf_map *map, void *key, void *value)); @rh is a struct bpf_rcu_head embedded in a value of @map, so the callback runs as callback(map, key, value) for the element it lives in and needs no cookie. A head can only be armed once, which bounds outstanding work by the number of elements. struct bpf_rcu_head holds the callback state inline rather than a pointer to it, as bpf_timer, bpf_wq and bpf_task_work do, because there is nothing to cancel and so nothing that has to outlive the map value. That avoids an allocation and a state machine on the arming path at the cost of 48 bytes per element. An RCU callback cannot be cancelled, so everything it touches has to stay alive until it runs: - The callback is the program's text, so arming takes a program reference as bpf_timer, bpf_wq and bpf_task_work do, dropped once the callback returns. bpf_prog_inc_not_zero() also fails the arm with -EBADF once the program is dying. - The map is held by that reference through used_maps. An inner map is not, so bpf_rcu_head is rejected in one. - The field is only accepted in BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY, whose elements are never freed individually. A hash element can be deleted and recycled while a callback is queued on it. - The head is disarmed before the callback runs so it can be armed again from there, which takes a new program reference before the running callback drops its own. Arming therefore fails with -EPERM once the map is held by neither a process nor bpffs. bpf_iter hands a program a writable pointer to the live element, which would let it overwrite a queued head, so bpf_iter_attach_map() rejects maps carrying one. The callback is verified non-sleepable even when the caller is sleepable, and RCU invokes it with BH disabled.

2026-09-21bitfield: get rid of __MAKE_OP machineryYury Norov
The __MAKE_OP machinery hides the fixed-width bitfield helper definitions from source searches and makes the end result highly obscured and largely uncontrolled. This follows earlier discussions about making these helpers easier to find: [1], [2]. Move the explicit helpers and their shared checks into linux/bitfield-fix-width.h in both the kernel and tools headers, and include it from bitfield.h to preserve existing users. The repeated overflow check is factored into __assert_field(), preserving the original condition and compile-time diagnostics. With GCC 15.2.0 and x86-64 defconfig plus the bitfield KUnit tests, the before/after kernel builds are binary identical. The __MAKE_OP generates the following 40 functions (including the direct ____MAKE_OP(u8,u8,,) invocation): u8_encode_bits() u8_replace_bits() u8p_replace_bits() u8_get_bits() le16_encode_bits() le16_replace_bits() [dead code] le16p_replace_bits() le16_get_bits() be16_encode_bits() be16_replace_bits() [dead code] be16p_replace_bits() [dead code] be16_get_bits() u16_encode_bits() u16_replace_bits() u16p_replace_bits() u16_get_bits() le32_encode_bits() le32_replace_bits() [dead code] le32p_replace_bits() le32_get_bits() be32_encode_bits() be32_replace_bits() [dead code] be32p_replace_bits() be32_get_bits() u32_encode_bits() u32_replace_bits() u32p_replace_bits() u32_get_bits() le64_encode_bits() le64_replace_bits() [dead code] le64p_replace_bits() [dead code] le64_get_bits() be64_encode_bits() be64_replace_bits() [dead code] be64p_replace_bits() [dead code] be64_get_bits() u64_encode_bits() u64_replace_bits() u64p_replace_bits() u64_get_bits() Functions marked with [dead code] have no in-tree callers and are removed by this change.

2026-09-19bpf: tcp: Support parse/len/write header option hooks in bpf_tcp_opsAmery Hung
Add the TCP header option callbacks to the bpf_tcp_ops struct_ops type: parse_hdr - parse the options of an incoming skb on an established connection hdr_opt_len - reserve space in the TCP header for bpf options write_hdr_opt - write the reserved bpf options These mirror the BPF_SOCK_OPS_PARSE_HDR_OPT_CB, _HDR_OPT_LEN_CB and _WRITE_HDR_OPT_CB legacy sockops callbacks, but are exposed as struct_ops members so a program can implement them with normal function signatures and per-member helper sets. The reserved header window is shared between the legacy sockops and bpf_tcp_ops paths. tcp_{syn,synack,established}_options() first run the legacy BPF_SOCK_OPS_HDR_OPT_LEN_CB and then call hdr_opt_len, so both sources accumulate into opts->bpf_opt_len; at write time the legacy options are emitted first and bpf_tcp_ops writes after them. API design bpf_tcp_ops overloads the sock_ops header-option helpers rather than introducing a new API: bpf_reserve_hdr_opt(), bpf_store_hdr_opt() and bpf_load_hdr_opt() are exposed per-member (reserve for hdr_opt_len, store/load for write_hdr_opt, load for parse_hdr) and share the existing kernel option-walking core via _bpf_sock_ops{store,load}hdr_opt(), with the bpf_tcp_ops wrappers synthesizing a temporary bpf_sock_ops_kern from the program ctx. This keeps a port from the legacy BPF_SOCK_OPS*_HDR_OPT_CB callbacks mechanical (same helper calls) and adds no new UAPI helper/kfunc surface. An alternative considered was to drop the option helpers entirely: have hdr_opt_len reserve space purely through its return value, and introduce a dedicated TCP-header-option dynptr used for both reading and writing. That is a cleaner, more self-contained interface, but it is a larger change and does not reuse the legacy helpers, making a port from sockops less mechanical. It can be pursued as a follow-up; the helper-based interface here keeps this series focused on moving the hooks to struct_ops. The hdr_opt_len fast path in tcp_established_options() is gated by cgroup_bpf_enabled(CGROUP_TCP_SOCK_OPS). Note this is a global, per-attach-type static branch: it is enabled whenever any bpf_tcp_ops is attached, even one that does not implement hdr_opt_len or that is attached to a different cgroup. In those cases the block still runs but bpf_tcp_ops_hdr_opt_len() no-ops via the per-member check in the dispatch macro. A per-member/per-cgroup gate could be added later if the extra fast-path work proves measurable.

2026-09-19bpf: Add infrastructure to support attaching struct_ops to cgroupsMartin KaFai Lau
This patch adds necessary infrastructure to attach a struct_ops map to a cgroup. The initial need was to support migrating the legacy BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS to a struct_ops. Recently, there are other struct_ops use cases that need to attach struct_ops to a cgroup. For example, the recent BPF OOM and memcg discussion in LSFMMBPF 2026. The motivation is to create a consistent expectation for attaching struct_ops to cgroup instead of each subsystem creating its own infrastructure. This logic includes hierarchy expectation, ordering expectation, attachment API, and rcu gp. There is already an existing implementation for attaching multiple bpf progs to a cgroup. There are also tools built around it for querying. Attaching a struct_ops map (which is a group of bpf programs) could also adhere to a similar API and potentially reuse most of the existing implementation. A couple of ideas have been tried. One of them is to use mprog.c. In terms of the amount of changes, I eventually came to the same conclusion as in commit 120933984460 ("bpf: Implement mprog API on top of existing cgroup progs"). I then shifted the focus to reusing the current {update,compute,activate,purge}_effective_progs() which has the main logic that implements the mprog API. Since then, I tried to add a 'struct cgroup *cgroup' member to the existing 'struct bpf_struct_ops_link' and link_create will create a 'struct bpf_struct_ops_link' object to be stored in the pl->link. This turns out to have more changes on both cgroup.c and bpf_struct_ops.c than I like. This patch directly reuses the 'struct bpf_cgroup_link' which cgroup.c already understands. Add 'struct bpf_map *map' to 'struct bpf_cgroup_link'. In the future, as more subsystems are extended by struct_ops, we may consider to make 'struct bpf_map *map' as a primary citizen of a link like 'struct bpf_prog *prog' and directly add 'struct bpf_map *map' to the generic 'struct bpf_link'. The pl->link could be the traditional 'prog' link or the new 'map' link. The places that need to handle them differently have already been refactored into the new prog_list_*() added in the earlier patch. In those new prog_list_*(), this patch will check "pl->link && pl->link->map", learn that it is a 'map' link and handle it correctly. The bpf_prog_array also needs to handle that its item can store the traditional 'prog' or it can store a struct_ops map. The places that need to handle them differently have also been refactored into the new bpf_cgroup_array_*() added in the earlier patch. The two differences are: - different sentinel (dummy_bpf_prog in prog vs cfi_stub in struct_ops) - the array for struct_ops may need to go through different rcu gp. The bpf_cgroup_array_*() functions use the cgroup_bpf_attach_type (ie atype) to distinguish the array is storing prog or storing struct_ops map. This patch also implements a separate struct bpf_link_ops "cgroup_struct_ops_link_ops" to have a separate link_ops implementation that only handles the cgroup's struct_ops link. Questions: - Although this patch did not change it, it is not obvious to me how the replace_effective_progs() and purge_effective_progs() handle cases when there are existing BPF_F_PREORDER progs attached in the hlist. Misc notes: - CGROUP_TCP_SOCK_OPS is added to the 'enum cgroup_bpf_attach_type'. The actual implementation of the tcp_bpf_ops (a struct_ops) will be added in the next patch. - free_after_mult_rcu_gp is added to 'struct bpf_struct_ops' such that the bpf_prog_array can have a mix of sleepable and non-sleepable prog in a struct_ops. This can tell how the bpf_prog_array should be freed. - For a struct_ops that supports cgroup attachment, it does not need to implement its own reg/unreg function. reg/unreg to a cgroup is done by the common infrastructure added in this patch. - The cgroup's struct_ops link only supports BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI. This is enforced internally in cgroup_bpf_struct_ops_attach. This should be consistent with the current prog's link behavior in cgroup_bpf_link_attach. In the future, we may allow each subsystem to choose differently. - A cgroup_atype member is added to 'struct bpf_struct_ops'. When a subsystem struct_ops needs to support cgroup attachment, it needs to add a value to 'enum cgroup_bpf_attach_type' and then assign it to the newly added cgroup_atype member in the bpf_struct_ops. - During LINK_CREATE in syscall, the patch uses the same BPF_STRUCT_OPS (in attr->link_create.attach_type). The bpf_struct_ops_link_create learns the map and from the map it learns the st_ops. If the st_ops->cgroup_atype is not 0, it will create a cgroup's link. - When a subsystem registers a struct_ops that supports cgroup attachment, the struct_ops infrastructure will also ask the cgroup infrastructure to remember a few things. This is done by calling cgroup_bpf_struct_ops_register().

2026-08-24xsk: align TX metadata layout across ABIsStanislav Fomichev
Add explicit padding before launch_time so xsk_tx_metadata has the same layout on 32-bit and 64-bit systems. On several architectures (csky, i386, nios2, m65k, openrisc, sh), the old native 32-bit layout put launch_time at offset 12 and had a natural size of 20 bytes. Using sizeof(struct xsk_tx_metadata) as tx_metadata_len was already rejected because the length must be a multiple of eight, so the straightforward use of the interface was broken on those ABIs. Userspace could still register a padded length of 24 bytes, though; mixing the old and new layouts then silently reads launch_time from the wrong offset and misprograms packet launch times. This intentionally replaces that incompatible layout because the affected architectures are unlikely to have any notable users. (x86_64 and arm64 have the most users and are _not_ affected) Fixes: ca4419f15abd ("xsk: Add launch time hardware offload support to XDP Tx metadata") Reviewed-by: Simon Horman <horms@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Stanislav Fomichev <sdf@fomichev.me> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260819160535.1472459-2-sdf@fomichev.me Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
