Some file systems like FUSE-based ones or overlayfs may record the backing
file in struct vm_area_struct vm_file, instead of the user file that the
user mmapped.
Since commit def3ae83da02f ("fs: store real path instead of fake path in
backing file f_path"), file_path() no longer returns the user file path
when applied to a backing file. There is an existing helper
file_user_path() for that situation.
Use file_user_path() instead of file_path() to get the path for MMAP
and MMAP2 events.
Example:
Setup:
# cd /root
# mkdir test ; cd test ; mkdir lower upper work merged
# cp `which cat` lower
# mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work merged
# perf record -e intel_pt//u -- /root/test/merged/cat /proc/self/maps
...
55b0ba399000-55b0ba434000 r-xp 00018000 00:1a 3419 /root/test/merged/cat
...
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.060 MB perf.data ]
#
Before:
File name is wrong (/cat), so decoding fails:
# perf script --no-itrace --show-mmap-events
cat 367 [016] 100.491492: PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 367/367: [0x55b0ba399000(0x9b000) @ 0x18000 00:02 3419 489959280]: r-xp /cat

It was reported that Intel PT address filters do not work in Docker
containers. That relates to the use of overlayfs.
overlayfs records the backing file in struct vm_area_struct vm_file,
instead of the user file that the user mmapped. In order for an address
filter to match, it must compare to the user file inode. There is an
existing helper file_user_inode() for that situation.
Use file_user_inode() instead of file_inode() to get the inode for address
filter matching.
Example:
Setup:
# cd /root
# mkdir test ; cd test ; mkdir lower upper work merged
# cp `which cat` lower
# mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work merged
# perf record --buildid-mmap -e intel_pt//u --filter 'filter * @ /root/test/merged/cat' -- /root/test/merged/cat /proc/self/maps
...
55d61d246000-55d61d2e1000 r-xp 00018000 00:1a 3418 /root/test/merged/cat
...
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.015 MB perf.data ]
# perf buildid-cache --add /root/test/merged/cat
Before:
Address filter does not match so there are no control flow packets
# perf script --itrace=e
# perf script --itrace=b | wc -l
0
# perf script -D | grep 'TIP.PGE' | wc -l
0
#
After:

With respect to stable kernels, overlayfs mmap function ovl_mmap() was
added in v4.19 but file_user_inode() was not added until v6.8 and never
back-ported to stable kernels. FMODE_BACKING that it depends on was added
in v6.5. This issue has gone largely unnoticed, so back-porting before
v6.8 is probably not worth it, so put 6.8 as the stable kernel prerequisite
version, although in practice the next long term kernel is 6.12.

Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.
alloc_workqueue() treats all queues as per-CPU by default, while unbound
workqueues must opt-in via WQ_UNBOUND.
This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues,
allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and
reducing noise when CPUs are isolated.
This change add the WQ_UNBOUND flag to pm_wq, to make explicit this
workqueue can be unbound and that it does not benefit from per-cpu work.
Once migration is complete, WQ_UNBOUND can be removed and unbound will
become the implicit default.

In preparation for hierarchical schedulers, change scx_bpf_dsq_insert() and
scx_bpf_dsq_insert_vtime() to return bool instead of void. With
sub-schedulers, there will be no reliable way to guarantee a task is still
owned by the sub-scheduler at insertion time (e.g., the task may have been
migrated to another scheduler). The bool return value will enable
sub-schedulers to detect and gracefully handle insertion failures.
For the root scheduler, insertion failures will continue to trigger scheduler
abort via scx_error(), so existing code doesn't need to check the return
value. Backward compatibility is maintained through compat wrappers.
Also update scx_bpf_dsq_move() documentation to clarify that it can return
false for sub-schedulers when @dsq_id points to a disallowed local DSQ.

scx_bpf_dsq_insert_vtime() and scx_bpf_select_cpu_and() currently have 5
parameters. An upcoming change will add aux__prog parameter which will exceed
BPF's 5 argument limit.
Prepare by adding new kfuncs __scx_bpf_dsq_insert_vtime() and
__scx_bpf_select_cpu_and() that take args structs. The existing kfuncs are
kept as compatibility wrappers. BPF programs use inline wrappers that detect
kernel API version via bpf_core_type_exists() and use the new struct-based
kfuncs when available, falling back to compat kfuncs otherwise. This allows
BPF programs to work with both old and new kernels.

With the planned hierarchical scheduler support, sub-schedulers will need to
be verified for authority before being allowed to modify task->scx.slice and
task->scx.dsq_vtime. Add scx_bpf_task_set_slice() and
scx_bpf_task_set_dsq_vtime() which will perform the necessary permission
checks.
Root schedulers can still directly write to these fields, so this doesn't
affect existing schedulers.

On systems with >4096 CPUs, scx_kick_cpus_pnt_seqs allocation fails during
boot because it exceeds the 32,768 byte percpu allocator limit.
Restructure to use DEFINE_PER_CPU() for the per-CPU pointers, with each CPU
pointing to its own kvzalloc'd array. Move allocation from boot time to
scx_enable() and free in scx_disable(), so the O(nr_cpu_ids^2) memory is only
consumed when sched_ext is active.
Use RCU to guard against racing with free. Arrays are freed via call_rcu()
and kick_cpus_irq_workfn() uses rcu_dereference_bh() with a NULL check.
While at it, rename to scx_kick_pseqs for brevity and update comments to
clarify these are pick_task sequence numbers.
v2: RCU protect scx_kick_seqs to manage kick_cpus_irq_workfn() racing
against disable as per Andrea.
v3: Fix bugs notcied by Andrea.

The sched_ext code calls queue_balance_callback() during enqueue_task()
to defer operations that drop multiple locks until we can unpin them.
The call assumes that the rq lock is held until the callbacks are
invoked, and the pending callbacks will not be visible to any other
threads. This is enforced by a WARN_ON_ONCE() in rq_pin_lock().
However, balance_one() may actually drop the lock during a BPF dispatch
call. Another thread may win the race to get the rq lock and see the
pending callback. To avoid this, sched_ext must only queue the callback
after the dispatch calls have completed.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"The previous fix to trace_marker required updating trace_marker_raw as
well. The difference between trace_marker_raw from trace_marker is
that the raw version is for applications to write binary structures
directly into the ring buffer instead of writing ASCII strings. This
is for applications that will read the raw data from the ring buffer
and get the data structures directly. It's a bit quicker than using
the ASCII version.
Unfortunately, it appears that our test suite has several tests that
test writes to the trace_marker file, but lacks any tests to the
trace_marker_raw file (this needs to be remedied). Two issues came
about the update to the trace_marker_raw file that syzbot found:
- Fix tracing_mark_raw_write() to use per CPU buffer
The fix to use the per CPU buffer to copy from user space was
needed for both the trace_maker and trace_maker_raw file.
The fix for reading from user space into per CPU buffers properly
fixed the trace_marker write function, but the trace_marker_raw
file wasn't fixed properly. The user space data was correctly
written into the per CPU buffer, but the code that wrote into the
ring buffer still used the user space pointer and not the per CPU
buffer that had the user space data already written.
- Stop the fortify string warning from writing into trace_marker_raw
After converting the copy_from_user_nofault() into a memcpy(),
another issue appeared. As writes to the trace_marker_raw expects
binary data, the first entry is a 4 byte identifier. The entry
structure is defined as:
struct {
struct trace_entry ent;
int id;
char buf[];
};
The size of this structure is reserved on the ring buffer with:
size = sizeof(*entry) + cnt;
Then it is copied from the buffer into the ring buffer with:
memcpy(&entry->id, buf, cnt);
This use to be a copy_from_user_nofault(), but now converting it to
a memcpy() triggers the fortify-string code, and causes a warning.
The allocated space is actually more than what is copied, as the
cnt used also includes the entry->id portion. Allocating
sizeof(*entry) plus cnt is actually allocating 4 bytes more than
what is needed.
Change the size function to:
size = struct_size(entry, buf, cnt - sizeof(entry->id));
And update the memcpy() to unsafe_memcpy()"

This is because fortify string sees that the size of entry->id is only 4
bytes, but it is writing more than that. But this is OK as the
dynamic_array is allocated to handle that copy.
The size allocated on the ring buffer was actually a bit too big:
size = sizeof(*entry) + cnt;
But cnt includes the 'id' and the buffer data, so adding cnt to the size
of *entry actually allocates too much on the ring buffer.
Change the allocation to:
size = struct_size(entry, buf, cnt - sizeof(entry->id));
and the memcpy() to unsafe_memcpy() with an added justification.

The fix to use a per CPU buffer to read user space tested only the writes
to trace_marker. But it appears that the selftests are missing tests to
the trace_maker_raw file. The trace_maker_raw file is used by applications
that writes data structures and not strings into the file, and the tools
read the raw ring buffer to process the structures it writes.
The fix that reads the per CPU buffers passes the new per CPU buffer to
the trace_marker file writes, but the update to the trace_marker_raw write
read the data from user space into the per CPU buffer, but then still used
then passed the user space address to the function that records the data.
Pass in the per CPU buffer and not the user space address.

The arraymap and hashtab duplicate the logic that checks for and frees
internal structs (timer, workqueue, task_work) based on
BTF record flags. Centralize this by introducing two helpers:
* bpf_map_has_internal_structs(map)
Returns true if the map value contains any of internal structs:
BPF_TIMER | BPF_WORKQUEUE | BPF_TASK_WORK.
* bpf_map_free_internal_structs(map, obj)
Frees the internal structs for a single value object.
Convert arraymap and both the prealloc/malloc hashtab paths to use the
new generic functions. This keeps the functionality for when/how to free
these special fields in one place and makes it easier to add support for
new internal structs in the future without touching every map
implementation.

Fix handling maps with no BTF and non-constant offsets for the bpf_wq.
This de-duplicates logic with other internal structs (task_work, timer),
keeps error reporting consistent, and makes future changes to the layout

When unpinning a BPF hash table (htab or htab_lru) that contains internal
structures (timer, workqueue, or task_work) in its values, a BUG warning
is triggered:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/bpf/hashtab.c:244
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 14, name: ksoftirqd/0
...
The issue arises from the interaction between BPF object unpinning and
RCU callback mechanisms:
1. BPF object unpinning uses ->free_inode() which schedules cleanup via
call_rcu(), deferring the actual freeing to an RCU callback that
executes within the RCU_SOFTIRQ context.
2. During cleanup of hash tables containing internal structures,
htab_map_free_internal_structs() is invoked, which includes
cond_resched() or cond_resched_rcu() calls to yield the CPU during
potentially long operations.
However, cond_resched() or cond_resched_rcu() cannot be safely called from
atomic RCU softirq context, leading to the BUG warning when attempting
to reschedule.
Fix this by changing from ->free_inode() to ->destroy_inode() and rename
bpf_free_inode() to bpf_destroy_inode() for BPF objects (prog, map, link).
This allows direct inode freeing without RCU callback scheduling,
avoiding the invalid context warning.

Rename the storage_get_func_atomic flag to a more generic non_sleepable
flag that tracks whether a helper or kfunc may be called from a
non-sleepable context. This makes the flag more broadly applicable
beyond just storage_get helpers. See [0] for more context.
The flag is now set unconditionally for all helpers and kfuncs when:
- RCU critical section is active.
- Preemption is disabled.
- IRQs are disabled.
- In a non-sleepable context within a sleepable program (e.g., timer
callbacks), which is indicated by !in_sleepable().
Previously, the flag was only set for storage_get helpers in these
contexts. With this change, it can be used by any code that needs to
differentiate between sleepable and non-sleepable contexts at the
per-instruction level.
The existing usage in do_misc_fixups() for storage_get helpers is
preserved by checking is_storage_get_function() before using the flag.

Fix the BPF verifier to correctly determine the sleepable context of
async callbacks based on the async primitive type rather than the arming
program's context.
The bug is in in_sleepable() which uses OR logic to check if the current
execution context is sleepable. When a sleepable program arms a timer
callback, the callback's state correctly has in_sleepable=false, but
in_sleepable() would still return true due to env->prog->sleepable being
true. This incorrectly allows sleepable helpers like
bpf_copy_from_user() inside timer callbacks when armed from sleepable
programs, even though timer callbacks always execute in non-sleepable
context.
Fix in_sleepable() to rely solely on env->cur_state->in_sleepable, and
initialize state->in_sleepable to env->prog->sleepable in
do_check_common() for the main program entry. This ensures the sleepable
context is properly tracked per verification state rather than being
overridden by the program's sleepability.
The env->cur_state NULL check in in_sleepable() was only needed for
do_misc_fixups() which runs after verification when env->cur_state is
set to NULL. Update do_misc_fixups() to use env->prog->sleepable
directly for the storage_get_function check, and remove the redundant
NULL check from in_sleepable().
Introduce is_async_cb_sleepable() helper to explicitly determine async
callback sleepability based on the primitive type:
- bpf_timer callbacks are never sleepable
- bpf_wq and bpf_task_work callbacks are always sleepable
Add verifier_bug() check to catch unhandled async callback types,
ensuring future additions cannot be silently mishandled. Move the
is_task_work_add_kfunc() forward declaration to the top alongside other
callback-related helpers. We update push_async_cb() to adjust to the new
changes.
At the same time, while simplifying in_sleepable(), we notice a problem
in do_misc_fixups. Fix storage_get helpers to use GFP_ATOMIC when called
from non-sleepable contexts within sleepable programs, such as bpf_timer
callbacks.
Currently, the check in do_misc_fixups assumes that env->prog->sleepable,
previously in_sleepable(env) which only resolved to this check before
last commit, holds across the program's execution, but that is not true.
Instead, the func_atomic bit must be set whenever we see the function
being called in an atomic context. Previously, this is being done when
the helper is invoked in atomic contexts in sleepable programs, we can
simply just set the value to true without doing an in_sleepable() check.
We must also do a standalone in_sleepable() check to handle cases where
the async callback itself is armed from a sleepable program, but is
itself non-sleepable (e.g., timer callback) and invokes such a helper,
thus needing the func_atomic bit to be true for the said call.
Adjust do_misc_fixups() to drop any checks regarding sleepable nature of
the program, and just depend on the func_atomic bit to decide which GFP
flag to pass.

Pull tracing clean up and fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Have osnoise tracer use memdup_user_nul()
The function osnoise_cpus_write() open codes a kmalloc() and then a
copy_from_user() and then adds a nul byte at the end which is the
same as simply using memdup_user_nul().
- Fix wakeup and irq tracers when failing to acquire calltime
When the wakeup and irq tracers use the function graph tracer for
tracing function times, it saves a timestamp into the fgraph shadow
stack. It is possible that this could fail to be stored. If that
happens, it exits the routine early. These functions also disable
nesting of the operations by incremeting the data "disable" counter.
But if the calltime exits out early, it never increments the counter
back to what it needs to be.
Since there's only a couple of lines of code that does work after
acquiring the calltime, instead of exiting out early, reverse the if
statement to be true if calltime is acquired, and place the code that
is to be done within that if block. The clean up will always be done
after that.
- Fix ring_buffer_map() return value on failure of __rb_map_vma()
If __rb_map_vma() fails in ring_buffer_map(), it does not return an
error. This means the caller will be working against a bad vma
mapping. Have ring_buffer_map() return an error when __rb_map_vma()
fails.
- Fix regression of writing to the trace_marker file
A bug fix was made to change __copy_from_user_inatomic() to
copy_from_user_nofault() in the trace_marker write function. The
trace_marker file is used by applications to write into it (usually
with a file descriptor opened at the start of the program) to record
into the tracing system. It's usually used in critical sections so
the write to trace_marker is highly optimized.
The reason for copying in an atomic section is that the write
reserves space on the ring buffer and then writes directly into it.
After it writes, it commits the event. The time between reserve and
commit must have preemption disabled.
The trace marker write does not have any locking nor can it allocate
due to the nature of it being a critical path.
Unfortunately, converting __copy_from_user_inatomic() to
copy_from_user_nofault() caused a regression in Android. Now all the
writes from its applications trigger the fault that is rejected by
the _nofault() version that wasn't rejected by the _inatomic()
version. Instead of getting data, it now just gets a trace buffer
filled with:
tracing_mark_write: <faulted>
To fix this, on opening of the trace_marker file, allocate per CPU
buffers that can be used by the write call. Then when entering the
write call, do the following:
preempt_disable();
cpu = smp_processor_id();
buffer = per_cpu_ptr(cpu_buffers, cpu);
do {
cnt = nr_context_switches_cpu(cpu);
migrate_disable();
preempt_enable();
ret = copy_from_user(buffer, ptr, size);
preempt_disable();
migrate_enable();
} while (!ret && cnt != nr_context_switches_cpu(cpu));
if (!ret)
ring_buffer_write(buffer);
preempt_enable();
This works similarly to seqcount. As it must enabled preemption to do
a copy_from_user() into a per CPU buffer, if it gets preempted, the
buffer could be corrupted by another task.
To handle this, read the number of context switches of the current
CPU, disable migration, enable preemption, copy the data from user
space, then immediately disable preemption again. If the number of
context switches is the same, the buffer is still valid. Otherwise it
must be assumed that the buffer may have been corrupted and it needs
to try again.
Now the trace_marker write can get the user data even if it has to
fault it in, and still not grab any locks of its own.

It was reported that using __copy_from_user_inatomic() can actually
schedule. Which is bad when preemption is disabled. Even though there's
logic to check in_atomic() is set, but this is a nop when the kernel is
configured with PREEMPT_NONE. This is due to page faulting and the code
could schedule with preemption disabled.
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250819105152.2766363-1-luogengkun@huaweicloud.com/
The solution was to change the __copy_from_user_inatomic() to
copy_from_user_nofault(). But then it was reported that this caused a
regression in Android. There's several applications writing into
trace_marker() in Android, but now instead of showing the expected data,
it is showing:
tracing_mark_write: <faulted>
After reverting the conversion to copy_from_user_nofault(), Android was
able to get the data again.
Writes to the trace_marker is a way to efficiently and quickly enter data
into the Linux tracing buffer. It takes no locks and was designed to be as
non-intrusive as possible. This means it cannot allocate memory, and must
use pre-allocated data.
A method that is actively being worked on to have faultable system call
tracepoints read user space data is to allocate per CPU buffers, and use
them in the callback. The method uses a technique similar to seqcount.
That is something like this:
preempt_disable();
cpu = smp_processor_id();
buffer = this_cpu_ptr(&pre_allocated_cpu_buffers, cpu);
do {
cnt = nr_context_switches_cpu(cpu);
migrate_disable();
preempt_enable();
ret = copy_from_user(buffer, ptr, size);
preempt_disable();
migrate_enable();
} while (!ret && cnt != nr_context_switches_cpu(cpu));
if (!ret)
ring_buffer_write(buffer);
preempt_enable();
It's a little more involved than that, but the above is the basic logic.
The idea is to acquire the current CPU buffer, disable migration, and then
enable preemption. At this moment, it can safely use copy_from_user().
After reading the data from user space, it disables preemption again. It
then checks to see if there was any new scheduling on this CPU. If there
was, it must assume that the buffer was corrupted by another task. If
there wasn't, then the buffer is still valid as only tasks in preemptable
context can write to this buffer and only those that are running on the
CPU.
By using this method, where trace_marker open allocates the per CPU
buffers, trace_marker writes can access user space and even fault it in,
without having to allocate or take any locks of its own.

A vmalloc allocation is preserved using binary structure similar to global
KHO memory tracker. It's a linked list of pages where each page is an
array of physical address of pages in vmalloc area.
kho_preserve_vmalloc() hands out the physical address of the head page to
the caller. This address is used as the argument to kho_vmalloc_restore()
to restore the mapping in the vmalloc address space and populate it with
the preserved pages.

Patch series "kho: add support for preserving vmalloc allocations", v5.
Following the discussion about preservation of memfd with LUO [1] these
patches add support for preserving vmalloc allocations.
Any KHO uses case presumes that there's a data structure that lists
physical addresses of preserved folios (and potentially some additional
metadata). Allowing vmalloc preservations with KHO allows scalable
preservation of such data structures.
For instance, instead of allocating array describing preserved folios in
the fdt, memfd preservation can use vmalloc:
preserved_folios = vmalloc_array(nr_folios, sizeof(*preserved_folios));
memfd_luo_preserve_folios(preserved_folios, folios, nr_folios);
kho_preserve_vmalloc(preserved_folios, &folios_info);
This patch (of 4):
Instead of checking if kho is finalized in each caller of
__kho_preserve_order(), do it in the core function itself.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() instead of RCU for syscall
tracepoints
Individual system call trace events are pseudo events attached to the
raw_syscall trace events that just trace the entry and exit of all
system calls. When any of these individual system call trace events
get enabled, an element in an array indexed by the system call number
is assigned to the trace file that defines how to trace it. When the
trace event triggers, it reads this array and if the array has an
element, it uses that trace file to know what to write it (the trace
file defines the output format of the corresponding system call).
The issue is that it uses rcu_dereference_ptr() and marks the
elements of the array as using RCU. This is incorrect. There is no
RCU synchronization here. The event file that is pointed to has a
completely different way to make sure its freed properly. The reading
of the array during the system call trace event is only to know if
there is a value or not. If not, it does nothing (it means this
system call isn't being traced). If it does, it uses the information
to store the system call data.
The RCU usage here can simply be replaced by READ_ONCE() and
WRITE_ONCE() macros.
- Have the system call trace events use "0x" for hex values
Some system call trace events display hex values but do not have "0x"
in front of it. Seeing "count: 44" can be assumed that it is 44
decimal when in actuality it is 44 hex (68 decimal). Display "0x44"
instead.
- Use vmalloc_array() in tracing_map_sort_entries()
The function tracing_map_sort_entries() used array_size() and
vmalloc() when it could have simply used vmalloc_array().
- Use for_each_online_cpu() in trace_osnoise.c()
Instead of open coding for_each_cpu(cpu, cpu_online_mask), use
for_each_online_cpu().
- Move the buffer field in struct trace_seq to the end
The buffer field in struct trace_seq is architecture dependent in
size, and caused padding for the fields after it. By moving the
buffer to the end of the structure, it compacts the trace_seq
structure better.
- Remove redundant zeroing of cmdline_idx field in
saved_cmdlines_buffer()
The structure that contains cmdline_idx is zeroed by memset(), no
need to explicitly zero any of its fields after that.
- Use system_percpu_wq instead of system_wq in user_event_mm_remove()
As system_wq is being deprecated, use the new wq.
- Add cond_resched() is ftrace_module_enable()
Some modules have a lot of functions (thousands of them), and the
enabling of those functions can take some time. On non preemtable
kernels, it was triggering a watchdog timeout. Add a cond_resched()
to prevent that.
- Add a BUILD_BUG_ON() to make sure PID_MAX_DEFAULT is always a power
of 2
There's code that depends on PID_MAX_DEFAULT being a power of 2 or it
will break. If in the future that changes, make sure the build fails
to ensure that the code is fixed that depends on this.
- Grab mutex_lock() before ever exiting s_start()
The s_start() function is a seq_file start routine. As s_stop() is
always called even if s_start() fails, and s_stop() expects the
event_mutex to be held as it will always release it. That mutex must
always be taken in s_start() even if that function fails.

Pull dma-mapping updates from Marek Szyprowski:
- Refactoring of DMA mapping API to physical addresses as the primary
interface instead of page+offset parameters
This gets much closer to Matthew Wilcox's long term wish for
struct-pageless IO to cacheable DRAM and is supporting memdesc
project which seeks to substantially transform how struct page works.
An advantage of this approach is the possibility of introducing
DMA_ATTR_MMIO, which covers existing 'dma_map_resource' flow in the
common paths, what in turn lets to use recently introduced
dma_iova_link() API to map PCI P2P MMIO without creating struct page

When s_start() fails to allocate memory for set_event_iter, it returns NULL
before acquiring event_mutex. However, the corresponding s_stop() function
always tries to unlock the mutex, causing a lock imbalance warning:
WARNING: bad unlock balance detected!
6.17.0-rc7-00175-g2b2e0c04f78c #7 Not tainted
-------------------------------------
syz.0.85611/376514 is trying to release lock (event_mutex) at:
[<ffffffff8dafc7a4>] traverse.part.0.constprop.0+0x2c4/0x650 fs/seq_file.c:131
but there are no more locks to release!
The issue was introduced by commit b355247df104 ("tracing: Cache ':mod:'
events for modules not loaded yet") which added the kzalloc() allocation before
the mutex lock, creating a path where s_start() could return without locking
the mutex while s_stop() would still try to unlock it.
Fix this by unconditionally acquiring the mutex immediately after allocation,
regardless of whether the allocation succeeded.

The commit afa3701c0e45 ("cgroup: cgroup.stat.local time accounting")
introduced a seqcount to track freeze timing but initialized it as a
plain seqcount_t using seqcount_init().
However, the write-side critical section in cgroup_do_freeze() holds
the css_set_lock spinlock while calling write_seqcount_begin(). On
PREEMPT_RT kernels, spinlocks do not disable preemption, causing the
lockdep assertion for a plain seqcount_t, which checks for preemption
being disabled, to fail.
This triggers the following warning:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 9692 at include/linux/seqlock.h:221
Fix this by changing the type to seqcount_spinlock_t and initializing
it with seqcount_spinlock_init() to associate css_set_lock with the
seqcount. This allows lockdep to correctly validate that the spinlock
is held during write operations, resolving the assertion failure on all
kernel configurations.

addresses a couple of minor issues in relatively new memory
allocation profiling feature
- "Small cleanups" from Matthew Wilcox has a few cleanups in
preparation for more memdesc work
- "mm/damon: add addr_unit for DAMON_LRU_SORT and DAMON_RECLAIM" from
Quanmin Yan makes some changes to DAMON in furtherance of supporting
arm highmem
- "selftests/mm: Add -Wunreachable-code and fix warnings" from Muhammad
Anjum adds that compiler check to selftests code and fixes the
fallout, by removing dead code
- "Improvements to Victim Process Thawing and OOM Reaper Traversal
Order" from zhongjinji makes a number of improvements in the OOM
killer: mainly thawing a more appropriate group of victim threads so
they can release resources
- "mm/damon: misc fixups and improvements for 6.18" from SeongJae Park
is a bunch of small and unrelated fixups for DAMON
- "mm/damon: define and use DAMON initialization check function" from
SeongJae Park implement reliability and maintainability improvements
to a recently-added bug fix
- "mm/damon/stat: expose auto-tuned intervals and non-idle ages" from
SeongJae Park provides additional transparency to userspace clients
of the DAMON_STAT information
- "Expand scope of khugepaged anonymous collapse" from Dev Jain removes
some constraints on khubepaged's collapsing of anon VMAs. It also
increases the success rate of MADV_COLLAPSE against an anon vma
- "mm: do not assume file == vma->vm_file in compat_vma_mmap_prepare()"
from Lorenzo Stoakes moves us further towards removal of
file_operations.mmap(). This patchset concentrates upon clearing up
the treatment of stacked filesystems
- "mm: Improve mlock tracking for large folios" from Kiryl Shutsemau
provides some fixes and improvements to mlock's tracking of large
folios. /proc/meminfo's "Mlocked" field became more accurate
- "mm/ksm: Fix incorrect accounting of KSM counters during fork" from
Donet Tom fixes several user-visible KSM stats inaccuracies across
forks and adds selftest code to verify these counters
- "mm_slot: fix the usage of mm_slot_entry" from Wei Yang addresses
some potential but presently benign issues in KSM's mm_slot handling
