2025-09-09bpf: Fix out-of-bounds dynptr write in bpf_crypto_cryptDaniel Borkmann1-1/+1
Stanislav reported that in bpf_crypto_crypt() the destination dynptr's size is not validated to be at least as large as the source dynptr's size before calling into the crypto backend with 'len = src_len'. This can result in an OOB write when the destination is smaller than the source. Concretely, in mentioned function, psrc and pdst are both linear buffers fetched from each dynptr: psrc = __bpf_dynptr_data(src, src_len); [...] pdst = __bpf_dynptr_data_rw(dst, dst_len); [...] err = decrypt ? ctx->type->decrypt(ctx->tfm, psrc, pdst, src_len, piv) : ctx->type->encrypt(ctx->tfm, psrc, pdst, src_len, piv); The crypto backend expects pdst to be large enough with a src_len length that can be written. Add an additional src_len > dst_len check and bail out if it's the case. Note that these kfuncs are accessible under root privileges only.

2025-09-09clocksource: Print durations for sync check unconditionallyJiri Wiesner1-3/+2
A typical set of messages that gets printed as a result of the clocksource watchdog finding the TSC unstable usually does not contain messages indicating CPUs being ahead of or behind the CPU from which the check is carried out. That fact suggests that the TSC does not experience time skew between CPUs (if the clocksource.verify_n_cpus parameter is set to a negative value) but quantitative information is missing. The cs_nsec_max value printed by the "CPU %d check durations" message actually provides a worst case estimate of the time skew. If all CPUs have been checked, the cs_nsec_max value multiplied by 2 is the maximum possible time skew between the TSCs of any two CPUs on the system. The worst case estimate is derived from two boundary cases: 1. No time is consumed to execute instructions between csnow_begin and csnow_mid while all the cs_nsec_max time is consumed by the code between csnow_mid and csnow_end. In this case, the maximum undetectable time skew of a CPU being ahead would be cs_nsec_max. 2. All the cs_nsec_max time is consumed to execute instructions between csnow_begin and csnow_mid while no time is consumed by the code between csnow_mid and csnow_end. In this case, the maximum undetectable time skew of a CPU being behind would be cs_nsec_max. The worst case estimate assumes a system experiencing a corner case consisting of the two boundary cases. Always print the "CPU %d check durations" message so that the maximum possible time skew measured by the TSC sync check can be compared to the time skew measured by the clocksource watchdog.

2025-09-09hrtimers: Unconditionally update target CPU base after offline timer migrationXiongfeng Wang1-8/+3
When testing softirq based hrtimers on an ARM32 board, with high resolution mode and NOHZ inactive, softirq based hrtimers fail to expire after being moved away from an offline CPU: CPU0 CPU1 hrtimer_start(..., HRTIMER_MODE_SOFT); cpu_down(CPU1) ... hrtimers_cpu_dying() // Migrate timers to CPU0 smp_call_function_single(CPU0, returgger_next_event); retrigger_next_event() if (!highres && !nohz) return; As retrigger_next_event() is a NOOP when both high resolution timers and NOHZ are inactive CPU0's hrtimer_cpu_base::softirq_expires_next is not updated and the migrated softirq timers never expire unless there is a softirq based hrtimer queued on CPU0 later. Fix this by removing the hrtimer_hres_active() and tick_nohz_active() check in retrigger_next_event(), which enforces a full update of the CPU base. As this is not a fast path the extra cost does not matter.

2025-09-09tick: Do not set device to detached state in tick_shutdown()Bibo Mao3-13/+7
tick_shutdown() sets the state of the clockevent device to detached first and the invokes clockevents_exchange_device(), which in turn invokes clockevents_switch_state(). But clockevents_switch_state() returns without invoking the device shutdown callback as the device is already in detached state. As a consequence the timer device is not shutdown when a CPU goes offline. tick_shutdown() does this because it was originally invoked on a online CPU and not on the outgoing CPU. It therefore could not access the clockevent device of the already offlined CPU and just set the state. Since commit 3b1596a21fbf tick_shutdown() is called on the outgoing CPU, so the hardware device can be accessed. Remove the state set before calling clockevents_exchange_device(), so that the subsequent clockevents_switch_state() handles the state transition and invokes the shutdown callback of the clockevent device.

Let pid_list is NULL and assign to tr->filtered_pids. 4. echo 9 >> set_event_pid, will trigger the double register sched_switch tracepoint warning. The reason is that syzkaller injects a fault into the chunk allocation in trace_pid_list_alloc, causing a failure in trace_pid_list_set, which may trigger double register of the same tracepoint. This only occurs when the system is about to crash, but to suppress this warning, let's add failure handling logic to trace_pid_list_set.

2025-09-08bpf: WQ_PERCPU added to alloc_workqueue usersMarco Crivellari1-1/+2
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 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 patch adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag to explicitly request the use of the per-CPU behavior. Both flags coexist for one release cycle to allow callers to transition their calls. Once migration is complete, WQ_UNBOUND can be removed and unbound will become the implicit default. With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND), any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND must now use WQ_PERCPU. All existing users have been updated accordingly.

Once migration is complete, WQ_UNBOUND can be removed and unbound will become the implicit default. With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND), any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND must now use WQ_PERCPU. All existing users have been updated accordingly. Suggested-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Marco Crivellari <marco.crivellari@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2025-09-05cgroup: replace use of system_wq with system_percpu_wqMarco Crivellari1-1/+1
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. system_wq is a per-CPU worqueue, yet nothing in its name tells about that CPU affinity constraint, which is very often not required by users. Make it clear by adding a system_percpu_wq. queue_work() / queue_delayed_work() mod_delayed_work() will now use the new per-cpu wq: whether the user still stick on the old name a warn will be printed along a wq redirect to the new one. This patch add the new system_percpu_wq except for mm, fs and net subsystem, whom are handled in separated patches. The old wq will be kept for a few release cylces.

Move pm_wakeup_clear() to the same location as other functions that do bookkeeping prior to suspend_prepare(). Since calling pm_wakeup_clear() is a prerequisite to setting up for suspend and enabling functionalities of suspend (like aborting during suspend), moving pm_wakeup_clear() higher up the call stack makes its intent more clear and obvious that it is called prior to suspend_prepare(). After this change, there is a slightly larger window when abort events can be registered, but otherwise suspend functionality is the same.

2025-09-04workqueue: Provide a handshake for canceling BH workersSebastian Andrzej Siewior1-9/+41
While a BH work item is canceled, the core code spins until it determines that the item completed. On PREEMPT_RT the spinning relies on a lock in local_bh_disable() to avoid a live lock if the canceling thread has higher priority than the BH-worker and preempts it. This lock ensures that the BH-worker makes progress by PI-boosting it. This lock in local_bh_disable() is a central per-CPU BKL and about to be removed. To provide the required synchronisation add a per pool lock. The lock is acquired by the bh_worker at the begin while the individual callbacks are invoked. To enforce progress in case of interruption, __flush_work() needs to acquire the lock. This will flush all BH-work items assigned to that pool.

2025-09-04cpuset: Defer flushing of the cpuset_migrate_mm_wq to task_workChuyi Zhou1-5/+24
Now in cpuset_attach(), we need to synchronously wait for flush_workqueue to complete. The execution time of flushing cpuset_migrate_mm_wq depends on the amount of mm migration initiated by cpusets at that time. When the cpuset.mems of a cgroup occupying a large amount of memory is modified, it may trigger extensive mm migration, causing cpuset_attach() to block on flush_workqueue for an extended period. This could be dangerous because cpuset_attach() is within the critical section of cgroup_mutex, which may ultimately cause all cgroup-related operations in the system to be blocked. This patch attempts to defer the flush_workqueue() operation until returning to userspace using the task_work which is originally proposed by tejun[1], so that flush happens after cgroup_mutex is dropped. That way we maintain the operation synchronicity while avoiding bothering anyone else.

2025-09-03sched_ext: Use cgroup_lock/unlock() to synchronize against cgroup operationsTejun Heo3-56/+14
SCX hooks into CPU cgroup controller operations and read-locks scx_cgroup_rwsem to exclude them while enabling and disable schedulers. While this works, it's unnecessarily complicated given that cgroup_[un]lock() are available and thus the cgroup operations can be locked out that way. Drop scx_cgroup_rwsem locking from the tg on/offline and cgroup [can_]attach operations. Instead, grab cgroup_lock() from scx_cgroup_lock(). Drop scx_cgroup_finish_attach() which is no longer necessary. Drop the now unnecessary rcu locking and css ref bumping in scx_cgroup_init() and scx_cgroup_exit(). As scx_cgroup_set_weight/bandwidth() paths aren't protected by cgroup_lock(), rename scx_cgroup_rwsem to scx_cgroup_ops_rwsem and retain the locking there. This is overall simpler and will also allow enable/disable paths to synchronize against cgroup changes independent of the CPU controller.

2025-09-03sched_ext: Keep bypass on between enable failure and scx_disable_workfn()Tejun Heo1-1/+1
scx_enable() turns on the bypass mode while enable is in progress. If enabling fails, it turns off the bypass mode and then triggers scx_error(). scx_error() will trigger scx_disable_workfn() which will turn on the bypass mode again and unload the failed scheduler. This moves the system out of bypass mode between the enable error path and the disable path, which is unnecessary and can be brittle - e.g. the thread running scx_enable() may already be on the failed scheduler and can be switched out before it triggers scx_error() leading to a stall. The watchdog would eventually kick in, so the situation isn't critical but is still suboptimal. There is nothing to be gained by turning off the bypass mode between scx_enable() failure and scx_disable_workfn(). Keep bypass on.

2025-09-03sched_ext: Make explicit scx_task_iter_relock() calls unnecessaryTejun Heo1-20/+23
During tasks iteration, the locks can be dropped using scx_task_iter_unlock() to perform e.g. sleepable allocations. Afterwards, scx_task_iter_relock() has to be called prior to other iteration operations, which is error-prone. This can be easily automated by tracking whether scx_tasks_lock is held in scx_task_iter and re-acquiring when necessary. It already tracks whether the task's rq is locked after all. - Add scx_task_iter->list_locked which remembers whether scx_tasks_lock is held. - Rename scx_task_iter->locked to scx_task_iter->locked_task to better distinguish it from ->list_locked. - Replace scx_task_iter_relock() with __scx_task_iter_maybe_relock() which is automatically called by scx_task_iter_next() and scx_task_iter_stop(). - Drop explicit scx_task_iter_relock() calls.

When a watch on dir=/ is combined with an fsnotify event for a single-character name directly under / (e.g., creating /a), an out-of-bounds read can occur in audit_compare_dname_path(). The helper parent_len() returns 1 for "/". In audit_compare_dname_path(), when parentlen equals the full path length (1), the code sets p = path + 1 and pathlen = 1 - 1 = 0. The subsequent loop then dereferences p[pathlen - 1] (i.e., p[-1]), causing an out-of-bounds read. Fix this by adding a pathlen > 0 check to the while loop condition to prevent the out-of-bounds access.
