Pull ACPI support updates from Rafael Wysocki: "The most significant change here is the elimination of struct acpi_driver that has no more users in the tree now along with some documentation related to it, and a follow-up update to set the "no PM" flag for all ACPI devices that are now only going to play the role of other devices' "companions" (in analogy with DT nodes). There is also a significant update of irqchip code related to ACPI done in order to enable GICv5 IWB ACPI probe ordering detection on ARM, which involves RISC-V interrupt controller management code refactoring to extract generic code from it into the common ACPI IRQ code. The rest is mostly fixes, including some fallout of the _OSC handling rework in 7.0, ACPI CPPC library fixes, a workaround for registering ACPI platform devices with overlapping I/O or memory resources, an ACPI EC driver fix related to probe deferral on platforms using HW-reduced ACPI, two ACPI battery driver fixes and a workaround for handling model numbers with unprintable characters in it, probe error cleanup and driver unload code path fixes, hardware error reporting fixes, documentation fixes, and assorted code cleanups all over. Specifics: - Eliminate struct acpi_driver whose users have all been converted to bind to platform devices or auxiliary devices and set the "no power management" flag for all struct acpi_device objects (Rafael Wysocki) - Avoid complaints regarding missing _OSC features on platforms where OSC_CAPABILITIES_MASK_ERROR is set in _OSC error bits even though all of the requested features are actually acknowledged (Rafael Wysocki) - Avoid printing confusing _OSC messages for non-PCIe host bridges without _OSC which is a valid configuration (Kazuma Kondo) - Use correct region struct for BERT region size check and properly map BERT and CCEL data to their ACPI tables (Thomas Renninger) - Add acpi_device_clear_deps(), refactor RISC-V interrupt controller management code to extract generic code from it into the common ACPI IRQ code, and enable GICv5 IWB ACPI probe ordering detection on ARM on top of that (Lorenzo Pieralisi) - Stop using acpi_device_name() in the PNP core, stop setting acpi_device_name/class() in the Xen variant of the ACPI PAD (Processor Aggregator Device) driver, and make the Loongarch laptop driver stop setting acpi_device_class() (Rafael Wysocki) - Fix issues related to the desired_perf register access in the ACPI CPPC library and update it to avoid unnecessary overhead (Christian Loehle) - Simplify acpi_get_pci_dev() with the help of a mutex guard, introduce acpi_dev_get_pci_dev() for code that has a struct ACPI device for which it wants to get the struct pci_dev pointer of the associated PCI device, and use it in the ACPI video bus driver (Rafael Wysocki) -

KVM arch-neutral and documentation changes for 7.3 - Remove kvm_debugfs_dir if kvm_init() fails after creating KVM's debugfs. - Document some of the "fun" gotchas with the APIC base when creating IRQCHIPs on x86. - Add a per-VM bitmap to track which vCPU IDs have been "claimed" but for which the vCPU isn't yet online, and use the bitmap to reject duplicate IDs before calling into arch code. This allows arch code to consume vcpu_id without having to worry about cross-vCPU clobbering (at least s390 and x86 have had related bugs). - Zero a vCPU's entry in VMX's Posted Interrupt Descriptor table used for IPI virtualization when the vCPU is freed to fix a use-after-free where hardware will write to a freed vCPU's PID.

2026-08-17Merge tag 'fscrypt-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/fscrypt/linuxLinus Torvalds3-95/+29
Pull fscrypt updates from Eric Biggers: "The main change this cycle is a significant simplification that's been overdue for a while now: standardizing on a single file contents encryption implementation in ext4 and f2fs, instead of having two. Specifically, the original filesystem-layer file contents encryption implementation is removed, and the blk-crypto implementation is now used unconditionally. blk-crypto delegates either to inline crypto hardware or to the CPU via blk-crypto-fallback. The latter is functionally equivalent to the original filesystem-layer code. The blk-crypto implementation already existed, but previously it was used only when the filesystem was mounted with "-o inlinecrypt". Now, "-o inlinecrypt" just selects whether inline crypto hardware is used. To allow maintaining that user control over hardware use, the blk-crypto API is extended with a new flag BLK_CRYPTO_CFG_ALLOW_HW. Overall, this removes quite a bit of redundant code from ext4, f2fs, and fs/crypto/. It should make things easier for ongoing filesystem efforts such as iomap support, large folios, and btrfs encryption (btrfs had already been planning to use blk-crypto exclusively.) There are two small behavior changes of note: - Direct I/O now works on encrypted files even without "-o inlinecrypt", rather than falling back to buffered I/O. This is effectively a bugfix, though I'll continue to keep an eye out for any user that may have been depending on the buffered I/O fallback. - IV_INO_LBLK_32 policies are no longer supported in certain cases that didn't make sense and have no known uses. This has been in linux-next since July 22 with no reported issues. All encryption xfstests pass on ext4 and f2fs. As usual I've also been using it on a system with an fscrypt-encrypted home directory. Of course, the blk-crypto code paths also aren't new and were already being used on many systems via the inlinecrypt mount option. In addition to the main change described above, there are a few other cleanups such as using lock guards for mutexes, improving documentation, and removing a workaround for outdated gcc versions" * tag 'fscrypt-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/fscrypt/linux: (29 commits) blk-crypto: Update docs for blk-crypto-fallback motivation blk-crypto: Remove unused function blk_crypto_config_supported() fscrypt: Update docs for data path fscrypt: Remove unused function fscrypt_finalize_bounce_page() f2fs: Update outdated comment in f2fs_write_begin() fs: Update outdated comment for SB_INLINECRYPT fscrypt: Update encryption policy version docs fscrypt: Replace some variable-size memsets with fixed-size fscrypt: Add safety checks to non-block-based en/decryption fscrypt: Merge bio.c and inline_crypt.c into block.c fscrypt: Remove unused functions and workqueue fscrypt: Remove fs-layer zeroout code fscrypt: Remove fscrypt_dio_supported() fscrypt: Replace calls to fscrypt_inode_uses_inline_crypto() fs/buffer: Remove fs-layer decryption code f2fs: Remove fs-layer file contents en/decryption code ext4: Further de-generalize the bio postprocessing code ext4: Make ext4_bio_write_folio() return void ext4: Remove fs-layer file contents en/decryption code Documentation: fscrypt: Update docs for inlinecrypt ...

Pull HFS updates from Viacheslav Dubeyko: "This contains several fixes in HFS/HFS+ of syzbot reported issues and HFS/HFS+ fixes of xfstests failures. - b-tree bitmap corruption check (Aditya Prakash Srivastava) During b-tree open (hfs_btree_open()), the code verifies that the allocation map bit for the tree header (node 0) is set. If not, it indicates a corrupted map record/bitmap and mounts the volume as read-only (SB_RDONLY) to prevent further damage. - Validate catalog CNIDs before instantiating inodes (David Maximiliano Hermitte) The hfs_cat_find_brec() first resolves a catalog thread record by CNID and then looks up the corresponding catalog record by parent/name. On a corrupted filesystem image, the second lookup may find a record whose CNID does not match the CNID that was requested. Finally, corrupted catalog records are rejected. - Validate B-tree record offset table (Jiaming Zhang) A crafted HFS+ image can contain a corrupted B-tree node. The node descriptor may contain a record count that does not fit in the node, and record offsets may be unordered, unaligned, outside the node, or point into the offset table itself. Validate num_recs against the node size before walking the record offset table. Reject record ranges that are unordered, unaligned, outside the node, or overlapping the offset table. Reject invalid record indexes before reading their offset entries, and avoid decrementing an already-zero leaf_count. - Refactoring of hfsplus_delete_cat() logic (Kyle Zeng). The hfsplus_delete_cat() is called with str == NULL when the last open reference to an unlinked HFS+ hardlink backing inode is closed. In that case, the function finds the catalog thread by CNID and rebuilds the catalog key from thread.nodeName. A corrupted image can therefore provide an oversized thread name length and make hfs_bnode_read() write past the catalog search-key allocation. Read the CNID record through hfsplus_brec_read_cat(), which bounds the record read to sizeof(hfsplus_cat_entry) and verifies that a thread record's size exactly matches nodeName.length. - Cleanup in KUnit test (Mohammad Shahid) The kfree() safely handles NULL pointers, so the explicit NULL check in free_mock_str_env() before calling kfree() is unnecessary. The rest contain fixes of generic/564 xfstests' test-case failure for the case of HFS+ file system, syzbot reported issue in hfs_mdb_commit() and hfs_mdb_close() methods of HFS file system, and reworking the MDB locking scheme in HFS file system" * tag 'hfs-v7.3-tag1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vdubeyko/hfs: hfsplus: validate extent record length before writing it back hfsplus: validate B-tree record offset table hfs: rework MDB locking scheme fs: hfsplus: remove redundant NULL check before kfree() hfs: port HFS+ b-tree bitmap corruption check hfs: don't re-dirty MDB buffers after a write failure hfsplus: fix error code when writing beyond volume capacity hfs: fix error code when writing beyond volume capacity hfsplus: validate thread record before delete key rebuild hfs: validate catalog CNIDs before instantiating inodes

Tony Nguyen says: ==================== Introduce iXD driver Larysa Zaremba says: This patch series adds the iXD driver, which supports the Intel(R) Control Plane PCI Function on Intel E2100 and later IPUs and FNICs. It facilitates a centralized control over multiple IDPF PFs/VFs/SFs exposed by the same card. The reason for the separation is to be able to offload the control plane to the host different from where the data plane is running. This is the first phase in the release of this driver where we implement the initialization of the core PCI driver. Subsequent phases will implement advanced features like usage of idpf ethernet aux device, link management, NVM update via devlink, switchdev port representors, data and exception path, flow rule programming, etc. The first phase entails the following aspects: 1. Additional libie functionalities: Patches 1-5 introduce additional common library API for drivers to communicate with the control plane through mailbox communication. A control queue is a hardware interface which is used by the driver to interact with other subsystems (like firmware). The library APIs allow the driver to setup and configure the control queues to send and receive virtchnl messages. The library has an internal bookkeeping (XN API) mechanism to keep track of the send messages. It supports both synchronous as well as asynchronous way of handling the messages. The library also handles the timeout internally for synchronous messages using events. This reduces the driver's overhead in handling the timeout error cases. The current patch series supports only APIs that are needed for device initialization. These include APIs in the libie_pci module: * Allocating/freeing the DMA memory and mapping the MMIO regions for BAR0, read/write APIs for drivers to access the MMIO memory and libie_cp module: * Control queue initialization and configuration * Transport initialization for bookkeeping * Blocking and asynchronous mailbox transactions Once the mailbox is initialized, the drivers can send and receive virtchnl messages to/from the control plane.

Pull vfs writeback updates from Christian Brauner: "This makes sync_inode_metadata() and writeback_single_inode() persist not only the inode but all metadata associated with it. A new .sync_inode_metadata superblock operation is called from __writeback_single_inode(). Alongside it a new I_METADATA_WRITEBACK state flag is added. Filesystems no longer need their own mmb_fsync() implementations and can just use simple_fsync(). All metadata is now written for IS_SYNC and IS_DIRSYNC inodes. Races where several fsyncs raced and mmb_sync() could return before all buffers were really persisted are fixed since I_SYNC now serializes properly. The I_METADATA_WRITEBACK scheme also fixes the case where a WB_SYNC_NONE writeback landing between write(2) and fsync(2) left fsync(2) failing to persist the inode. That problem is not specific to filesystems using the generic metadata bh tracking, and the ones that do not are left alone. ext2, udf, bfs, minix, fat and ext4 in nojournal mode have their data integrity writeout fixed and are converted. affs drops metadata bh tracking and mmb_fsync() is removed.

Add an efficient table to lookup all superblocks using a given block device. - A bunch of pre-existing fixes fell out of this work: A block-device freeze racing a btrfs device change could leave the whole filesystem stuck frozen. A bdev_freeze() issued by "dmsetup suspend" or an LVM snapshot resolves that holder to freeze the filesystem. and bdev_thaw() resolves it again to thaw. A freeze landing while btrfs is adding, removing or replacing a device freezes the filesystem. The membership change then drops that link. So the matching thaw could no longer find the superblock.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner: "Bigger cleanups: - The lockref dead-count handling is tidied up. The open-coded check for a count below zero as the dead marker relies on information the caller should not have. - make put_mnt_ns() leave mounts connected. Destroying a mount namespace disconnected its mounts from their mount points. So a file descriptor still open on the parent of a mount point could be used to peek under it. Locked mounts were already kept connected to prevent exactly that. But a mount is only locked when its tree is copied across a user namespace boundary. So a mount namespace set up by a privileged component had no locked mounts and its mounts were disconnected. Passing UMOUNT_CONNECTED keeps every mount connected and prevents that bug. - vfs_prepare_mode() passes S_IFDIR for directories. I meant to fix that ago but didn't get to it. So now someone finally did it. This kills the exception where the mode could be 0 when a directory was created whereas every other creation operation passed it explicitly already. - move long delayed work for ufs, jffs2, hfsplus, hfs and affs from the per-cpu system_long_wq to the new unbound system_dfl_long_wq.

Pull kthread vfs updates from Christian Brauner: "This stops kernel threads from sharing filesystem state with userspace. This work is about 3 cycles old and has been in -next for about that time. When the kernel boots init_task creates PID 1 and then kthreadd. From that point every kthread and PID 1 share the same fs_struct. That is why pivot_root() has to rewrite the fs_struct of all kthreads. The rewriting exists so that kthreads can use init's filesystem state when they want to. It also means userspace can move the ground out from under the kernel. PID 1 now gets a completely separate fs_struct. All kthreads are anchored in a private SB_KERNMOUNT instance of nullfs that cannot be mounted on and cannot be used to follow other mounts. Userspace init can no longer affect kthread filesystem state and kthreads can no longer affect userspace fs state without explicit opting in to that. Path lookup from a kthread now fails by default. It makes it deliberately hard to offload security sensitive operations into init's filesystem state from a kthread. Places that legitimately need to look something up there opt in through the new scoped_with_init_fs() which temporarily overrides the caller's fs_struct with init's. usermodehelpers remain the only kernel tasks that genuinely share init's filesystem state, since they execute random binaries in the root filesystem (excellent...).

Furthermore, memset() in netdev_reset_tc() and netdev_unbind_sb_channel() provides no guarantee of performing full 32-bit word stores. Concurrent lockless readers (e.g. skb_tx_hash(), netdev_txq_to_tc(), ixgbe_select_queue(), taprio, mqprio, FPE drivers) can observe torn values where offset and count belong to inconsistent configurations. Redefine struct netdev_tc_txq to embed count and offset inside a union with a u32 combined field, allowing atomic manipulation via READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE().

Pull iomap updates from Christian Brauner: "The bulk of this is the conversion of iomap to a single ->iomap_next() callback and thus finishing the move to an iterator model. Every iomap operation drove its iteration through a struct iomap_ops holding ->iomap_begin() and ->iomap_end(). iomap_iter() only ever sees those as pointers. That means every step of every iteration is an indirect call. This collapses both into one ->iomap_next() callback that finishes the previous mapping and produces the next one. This lets callers inline the iteration loop and pass its ->iomap_next() as a compile time constant. That means the compiler can turn it into a direct and hence inlineable call. This also allows future callers to express custom logic to drive the iteration forward better. xfs, btrfs, ext4, ext2, erofs, f2fs, gfs2, hpfs, fuse, exfat, zonefs, ntfs, ntfs3 and the block device mapping are all converted. No functional changes are intended. This also adds a simple direct I/O path for small reads. On Gen5 NVMe the __iomap_dio_rw() dominates 4K random reads. The same single-core io_uring poll mode workload reaches ~3.2M IOPS against the raw block device but only ~1.92M through ext4 or XFS. __iomap_dio_rw(), iomap_iter(), iomap_dio_bio_iter() and kfree() were at the top of the profile. The new path is very lightweight if no special behavior is requested. The bio comes from a dedicated bioset and laid out so the whole request is a single cacheline aligned allocation. Completion runs inline. That takes ext4 from 1.92M to 2.19M IOPS in the original workload. fio shows around: - 4% at libaio queue depths of 64 and up - around 5% for io_uring - up to 10% for io_uring poll mode at depth 256 on both ext4 and xfs. A few other patches: - iomap_folio_mark_uptodate() lets a filesystem that writes into the page cache outside the iomap read and write paths keep iomap's internal uptodate bitmap in sync, which fuse needs for server-pushed notify stores before it can enable large folios; - two fixes for iomap_bio_read_folio_range_sync(): a potential crash when device integrity behavior is changed and a missing bio_uninit(). - a folio batch release fix on iomap callback failures - FGP_NOFS is dropped from iomap_get_folio() - documentation fix" * tag 'vfs-7.3-rc1.iomap' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (29 commits) iomap: iomap_bio_read_folio_range_sync is missing a call to bio_uninit iomap: don't free integrity payload that doesn't exist docs: fix grammatical error in iomap docs exfat: convert iomap ops to ->iomap_next() fuse: convert iomap ops to ->iomap_next() hpfs: convert iomap ops to ->iomap_next() gfs2: convert iomap ops to ->iomap_next() f2fs: convert iomap ops to ->iomap_next() block: convert iomap ops to ->iomap_next() ext2: convert iomap ops to ->iomap_next() zonefs: convert iomap ops to ->iomap_next() erofs: convert iomap ops to ->iomap_next() ext4: convert iomap ops to ->iomap_next() ntfs: convert iomap ops to ->iomap_next() ntfs3: convert iomap ops to ->iomap_next() btrfs: convert iomap ops to ->iomap_next() xfs: convert iomap ops to ->iomap_next() iomap: add ->iomap_next() iomap: use GFP_NOWAIT when application for iomap_dio_simple allocations iomap: decouple simple direct I/O reads from iomap_dio_rw ...

Pull failfs filesystem from Christian Brauner: "Add failfs and expose a FD_FAILFS_ROOT sentinel. This allows userspace to shed their filesystem state completely. A process with its root or working directory in failfs must anchor every path lookup at an explicit file descriptor. Absolute paths, absolute symlinks and AT_FDCWD-relative lookups simply fail. Failfs is the counterpart to nullfs. nullfs says adds a permanently empty, immutable directory whose lookups fail with ENOENT but which can be opened, read, stat'd and mounted upon. Failfs on the other hand fails every operation. The root cannot be opened at all. A single instance is mounted during early boot via kern_mount(), which makes it logically distinct from every mount namespace. This is accompanied by a new fchroot() system call which makes chrooting via a file descriptor a first class concept.

2026-08-17NFS/localio: issue IO inline when not in a memory-reclaim contextMike Snitzer1-0/+1
Every LOCALIO read and write is currently bounced through the dedicated !WQ_MEM_RECLAIM nfslocaliod_workqueue. That bounce is only actually required when the submitting context is a memory-reclaim context: LOCALIO issues IO directly into a stacked local filesystem (e.g. XFS) which may in turn flush its own !WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue. Doing that from a WQ_MEM_RECLAIM worker (most importantly writeback's wb_workfn on bdi_wq) or an explicit PF_MEMALLOC reclaim task trips check_flush_dependency() and risks a forward-progress deadlock, which is why commit b9f5dd57f4a5 ("nfs/localio: use dedicated workqueues for filesystem read and write") introduced the intermediate workqueue. Outside of reclaim context -- ordinary application/task submission such as O_DIRECT or fsync-driven writeback -- the workqueue hop buys nothing and merely adds a context switch and scheduling latency per IO while discarding the NFS client's inherent application-context parallelism. Add current_is_workqueue_mem_reclaim(), which reports whether %current is a WQ_MEM_RECLAIM worker using the same predicate check_flush_dependency() warns on. Use it, together with the PF_MEMALLOC check, in the new nfs_local_defer_io() helper to decide per-IO whether nfs_local_do_read() and nfs_local_do_write() must defer to nfslocaliod_workqueue or may issue the IO inline. Buffered writeback continues to bounce (wb_workfn is a WQ_MEM_RECLAIM worker); O_DIRECT and app-context submission now run inline. Running nfs_local_call_write() inline is safe: it already saves and restores current->flags around the PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE|PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO it sets and scopes the file opener's creds. The async O_DIRECT completion path is likewise unaffected: when the underlying filesystem returns -EIOCBQUEUED, the kiocb ki_complete callback (nfs_local_read_aio_complete / nfs_local_write_aio_complete) can run in bottom-half context and so must still defer the pgio completion (nfs_local_pgio_release -> rpc_call_done) to nfsiod_workqueue via nfs_local_pgio_aio_complete(). That completion hop is independent of how the IO was submitted, and this change leaves it as-is; only the submission side stops unconditionally hopping through nfslocaliod_workqueue.

2026-08-17nfs4.2: open UNCACHEABLE_FILE_DATA files with O_DIRECTMike Snitzer1-0/+1
Honor the per-file UNCACHEABLE_FILE_DATA attribute by transparently opening such regular files with O_DIRECT, so reads and writes bypass the page cache as the attribute requires, without the application having to request O_DIRECT itself. This follows the model the specification describes: the attribute is "similar in intent to O_DIRECT" and clients "retain flexibility in how they satisfy the requirements" (draft-ietf-nfsv4-uncacheable-files Section 4.4, "Relationship to Direct I/O"), and its Implementation Status (Section 6) describes a prototype Linux client that "treats the attribute as an indication to use O_DIRECT-like behavior for file access". Introduce an NFS_CONTEXT_O_DIRECT open-context flag: nfs4_atomic_open() sets it when the resolved inode has uncacheable_file_data set (and the open is not O_APPEND), and the open paths nfs_atomic_open() and nfs4_file_open() apply O_DIRECT to the file when the flag is set. The I/O mode is thus selected at open time and is not changed for an already-open file: a later change to the attribute takes effect on the next open. The specification permits this -- a client that has already opened a file MAY continue with its existing caching behavior and apply the updated attribute to subsequent operations (Section 5). The delegation interaction in Section 4.3 was considered: it permits read caching to remain when another NFSv4.2 mechanism, such as a delegation, already ensures a consistent view of the file. That relaxation is optional ("may remain appropriate") and read-only -- it does not relax write-behind suppression (Section 4.1) or the WRITE durability invariant (Section 4.2). This implementation deliberately does not take it: an uncacheable file is opened O_DIRECT regardless of any delegation held, which is compliant (read caching is simply suppressed more aggressively than the Section 4.3 minimum) and avoids decoupling read vs write caching behind a single open flag. Relaxing reads under a delegation is left as a possible future optimization. Section 6 observes the benefit holds "for applications that issue well-formed I/O requests". That alignment caveat does not constrain the Linux NFS client's over-the-wire path: the client readily issues misaligned I/O using O_DIRECT over SunRPC to the remote NFS server. The only place a fallback from O_DIRECT to buffered I/O for misaligned I/O applies is NFS LOCALIO (fs/nfs/localio.c), which detects non-DIO-aligned I/O and falls back internally; that path is unaffected by this change.

2026-08-17nfs4.2: add UNCACHEABLE_FILE_DATA attribute supportTom Haynes3-1/+19
Recognize the NFSv4.2 per-file UNCACHEABLE_FILE_DATA attribute (attr 87, draft-ietf-nfsv4-uncacheable-files): decode it via GETATTR, track per- exported-filesystem support, and record on the inode whether a regular file's data must not be cached. Acting on the attribute (opening such files O_DIRECT) is done by a subsequent change. If the NFSv4 server reports a regular file's UNCACHEABLE_FILE_DATA as true, it indicates the file's data must not be cached; the client records this in NFS_I(inode)->uncacheable_file_data for use by the I/O paths. The UNCACHEABLE_FILE_DATA attribute applies only to regular files (NF4REG); per the draft a server MUST reject a query of it on any other object type with NFS4ERR_INVAL. A subsequent commit gates the client accordingly.

Pull binfmt updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains a bunch of work for binfmt_misc. It fixes a bunch of old bugs, reworks the locking, and then extends the format registry so a binary type can be matched programmatically and its interpreter computed per exec instead of being a fixed string recorded at registration time. This allows nixos and other to e.g., implement relocatable binaries meaning the interpreter/dynamic loader can be determined programatically, say found relative to the binary. The mechanism is flexible and can support other policies: - Handler lookup is now an rcu walk. An exec that matches no binfmt_misc entry should now never write to a shared cacheline - remove the VERBOSE_STATUS and USE_DEBUG compile time toggles - convert the entry file to a seq_file which simplifies things quite a bit and kills a lot of custom logic - make flags proper enums - rename struct Node to binfmt_misc_entry - allow entries to be removed with unlink(2) - Add the ability to attach bpf programs to binfmt_misc entries so it's possible to dynamically choose the execution environment such as the loader or interpreter on a per binary basis. A handler is an instance of a binfmt_misc_ops struct_ops with a ->match() and a ->load() program. match() decides from the entry lookup walk whether the handler applies under the same registration-order. It can read file content as needed not only the prefetched 256 bytes in bprm->buf. load() then selects the interpreter and stages it through the new bpf_binprm_set_interp(), bpf_binprm_set_interp_arg() and bpf_binprm_set_flags() kfuncs. Handlers are published in a registry keyed by the registering task's user namespace and activated through the existing text interface with a new 'B' type carrying the handler name: echo ':origin:B::::nix:' > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register The permission and namespacing model is unchanged. Activating a handler requires the same write access to an instance as any other registration. A container mounting its own instance escapes the host's entries exactly as before. The computed interpreter is opened with open_exec() under the caller's credentials and goes through full LSM vetting as the next binprm level. A program can only ever redirect the caller to something the caller could exec anyway. - Two dispatch modes are added. So far the chosen interpreter owns the whole process identity (argv[0], /proc/pid/cmdline, /proc/self/exe all name interpreter information). So relocatable find the dynamic linker instead. Also a binary passed to execveat() as an inaccessible O_CLOEXEC fd cannot run at all and gdb trips because AT_ENTRY and AT_PHDR do not match the exe file. So PIE symbols are unrelocated. This adds transparent dispatch which allows the interpreter to load the binary through AT_EXECFD and leaves the argument vector exactly as the caller built it and labels mm->exe_file and comm with the binary. It also raises the AT_FLAGS_TRANSPARENT_INTERP aux vector bit. The interpreter keeps control of mapping the binary. The second mode is loader substitution. This allows a binary to be executed natively and only the interpreter to be changed. - Last, interpreters can be bound at registration time. Each interpreter is opened by its own write with the credentials the entry file was opened with. The program picks one per exec with bpf_binprm_select_interp(). Ucounts are used to properly account for pre-opened interpreters via /proc/sys/user/max_binfmt_misc_interpreters" * tag 'vfs-7.3-rc1.binfmt' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (63 commits) binfmt_misc: document the pre-opened interpreter limit selftests/exec: test the pre-opened interpreter limit binfmt_misc: correctly account pre-opened interpreters binfmt_misc: document interpreters bound by a 'B' entry selftests/exec: test interpreters bound to a 'B' entry binfmt_misc: let a 'B' entry bind its interpreters binfmt_misc: carry pre-opened interpreters in struct binfmt_misc_interp selftests/exec: share the bpf handler preconditions binfmt_misc: document registering an entry disabled selftests/exec: test registering an entry disabled selftests/exec: let binfmt_flag_supported() return a bool selftests/exec: check that a binfmt_misc instance cannot be pinned binfmt_misc: let a register string create an entry disabled binfmt_misc: document loader substitution selftests/exec: test binfmt_misc loader substitution binfmt_misc: let a bpf handler request loader substitution binfmt_misc: add the 'L' loader substitution flag binfmt_elf_fdpic: consume a stashed PT_INTERP substitute binfmt_elf: consume a stashed PT_INTERP substitute exec: carry a PT_INTERP substitute in struct linux_binprm ...

2026-08-17landlock: Add create_ruleset and free_ruleset tracepointsMickaël Salaün1-0/+1
Add the first Landlock tracepoints, for ruleset lifecycle: landlock_create_ruleset fires from the landlock_create_ruleset() syscall handler, and landlock_free_ruleset fires in free_ruleset() before the ruleset is freed. These tracepoints, and the ones added by the following commits, share a common design. Rather than one polymorphic event distinguished by a status field (as audit uses a shared record type with a "status=" field), each lifecycle transition and denial type gets its own event with a type-safe TP_PROTO, giving precise ftrace filtering by event name and type-safe eBPF access. TP_PROTO passes the object pointer and the fields are read from it in TP_fast_assign, so an eBPF program reads the full object state (rules, access masks, hierarchy) via BTF from a single pointer rather than from the flattened TP_STRUCT__entry fields. The whole cost is paid only when a tracer is attached; the static branch is not taken otherwise. Trace fields carry the bare access-right and scope names (read_file), reusing the audit name tables; audit prepends the category (fs.read_file), which the trace event name already conveys. The trace header's DOC comment documents the consistency and locking guarantees these events share. create_ruleset needs no lock because the ruleset is not yet shared (its file descriptor is not yet installed). The deallocation events use the "free_" prefix, not "drop_", because they fire when the object is actually freed. Add trace.c, built for CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS, which defines CREATE_TRACE_POINTS, and extend CONFIG_SECURITY_LANDLOCK_LOG to also be selected by CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS so the common log framework is available to a tracepoints-only build. Add an id field to struct landlock_ruleset, gated on CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS and assigned from landlock_get_id_range() at creation. Only the tracepoints consume it (audit identifies domains, not rulesets), so it does not exist in an audit-only build. The Landlock ID is a stable u64 that names the ruleset across the trace stream and uses the same scheme as audit, so a ruleset can be correlated between trace and audit records.

2026-08-17landlock: Consolidate access-right and scope names in a shared headerMickaël Salaün1-0/+55
Audit formats denial records with per-right name strings. A following commit adds trace events that print the same access and scope masks with __print_flags() and need the same names, but a trace event header cannot include Landlock-internal headers, so the names cannot be shared from the logging unit. Define the filesystem, network, and scope names once, as the _LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_NAMES, _LANDLOCK_ACCESS_NET_NAMES, and _LANDLOCK_SCOPE_NAMES lists in the public Landlock header. Each entry is a _LANDLOCK_NAME_ENTRY() the consumer expands: audit maps it to a "[bit] = name" array slot for an O(1) lookup, the trace events map it to a __print_flags() { mask, name } pair. The bit value comes only from the LANDLOCK_* UAPI constant each entry references, so every bit-to-name mapping has a single source and does not depend on entry order. The shared names are unprefixed; blocker_prefix() prepends the fs./net./scope. category for audit records, so the scope names move from inline literals to the shared table too. Audit records are unchanged. No functional change.

2026-08-17bpf: Rewrite any fault prone load out of a mem or btf_id pointerDaniel Borkmann1-0/+11
bpf_convert_ctx_accesses() turns a BPF_LDX into a BPF_PROBE_MEM one by matching the type recorded for the insn against a list of exact pointer types. The list cannot keep up with the flag combinations the verifier produces, and a type which is missing from it ends up as a plain load without an exception table entry, so a bad address panics the kernel instead of being handled. Two such types exist today and are reachable: - PTR_TO_BTF_ID | PTR_UNTRUSTED | MEM_ALLOC | NON_OWN_REF - PTR_TO_BTF_ID | PTR_UNTRUSTED | MEM_RCU Rather than adding the two, just drop the list and state the property itself in the default case of the switch. This is a superset of what the list matched, the untrusted PTR_TO_MEM does not have to carry MEM_RDONLY for it anymore, and it stays in sync with the verifier side which uses the same match in save_aux_ptr_type() and reg_type_mismatch_ok(). Assert that a fault prone type which does not get the rewrite for whatever reason is rejected at load time rather than left to fault at runtime to catch any future cases.

2026-08-17bpf: Keep fault protection when merging pointer typesDaniel Borkmann1-0/+10
When the same BPF_LDX instruction is reached through paths that yield different pointer types, save_aux_ptr_type() merges them into a single type which is later used by bpf_convert_ctx_accesses() to decide whether the load has to be rewritten into a BPF_PROBE_MEM one. Before f2362a57aeff ("bpf: allow void* cast using bpf_rdonly_cast()") the merge only accepted two PTR_TO_BTF_ID pointers and unconditionally fell back to PTR_TO_BTF_ID | PTR_UNTRUSTED, so the merged type was always one that gets the BPF_PROBE_MEM rewrite. However, the mentioned commit widened the merge to also cover a PTR_TO_MEM base and replaced the fallback by a union of the PTR_UNTRUSTED and MEM_RDONLY flags. A union of flags though cannot express the property the later rewrite is built upon, some examples: - PTR_TO_MEM merged with PTR_TO_BTF_ID | PTR_UNTRUSTED gets PTR_TO_MEM | PTR_UNTRUSTED but only the MEM_RDONLY variant is valid - PTR_TO_MEM merged with a plain PTR_TO_BTF_ID gets PTR_TO_MEM dropping the rewrite the latter type would have gotten - PTR_TO_MEM | MEM_RDONLY merged with a plain PTR_TO_BTF_ID gets PTR_TO_MEM | MEM_RDONLY which is not rewritten either since only its PTR_UNTRUSTED variant is In all three cases a program can take the unsafe path at runtime with a NULL or otherwise bad pointer and panic the kernel on the faulting load: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000038 RIP: 0010:bpf_prog_77531a87032eeaf1_mixed_mem_btf_id_type+0x4b/0x65 Call Trace: <TASK> bpf_test_run+0x20b/0x460 bpf_prog_test_run_skb+0x650/0xbe0 __sys_bpf+0xb96/0x3140 __x64_sys_bpf+0x2c/0x40 do_syscall_64+0xba/0x590 Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt Note that the last two shapes have to be fixed right here, otherwise the merged type retains nothing which marks the load as fault prone, thus no rule in bpf_convert_ctx_accesses() can recover it.

2026-08-15sched_ext: Use runnable_at for the default core-sched task orderingTejun Heo1-3/+0
The default core-sched ordering runs the longest waiting task first by comparing p->scx.core_sched_at stamps. The stamp is maintained under two rules. touch_core_sched() stamps when a task starts waiting for a CPU and when its slice runs out. If the scheduler implements ops.core_sched_before(), touch_core_sched_dispatch() re-stamps on every dispatch. A comparison can see one stamp taken under each rule, which isn't a meaningful ordering. The dispatch rule also buys little - it only aligns bypass-mode comparisons with the local DSQ order. Multiple schedulers make the mixed comparisons more common. Wait time is what p->scx.runnable_at already tracks for the stall watchdog. Delete core_sched_at with both touch functions and compare runnable_at in the scx_prio_less() fallback. runnable_at is refreshed only on enqueue and goes stale while a task keeps occupying its CPU. Instead of re-stamping, order a running task after every waiting task as it is the most recently serviced. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2026-08-15block: skip blkcg walk in blk_cgroup_congested() when nothing throttledUsama Arif1-1/+22
blk_cgroup_congested() walks the current task's blkcg ancestor chain on every readahead decision and, once swap is in use, on every anonymous and shmem folio allocation. The answer is almost always "no", but finding that out costs two loads per level on two cold cache lines, plus an out-of-line kthread_blkcg() and an RCU read-side pair. On a fleet profile of hosts running containers with 5-10 level hierarchies it costs about as much as all of mutex_lock(), 99.4% of it under __folio_throttle_swaprate(). Gate the walk on a global count of blkcgs with a non-zero congestion_count. The counter only moves on the 0 <-> 1 transitions of each blkcg's congestion_count, so the extra atomic stays in the throttle arm/disarm paths and never appears in steady state. When something is throttled the counter is non-zero and the walk runs as before.

2026-08-15block: introduce bio_iov_iter_set()Pavel Begunkov1-1/+1
In preparation to supporting dma-buf backed iterators and bios, introduce bio_iov_iter_set() which attempts to set up the bio directly from the given iterator. For now, it only supports bvec and expects users to check the result and fall back to other means if fails, but later we'll add more types.

2026-08-15io_uring: defer eventfd signaling when queued from a wakeup handlerJens Axboe1-0/+8
io_req_local_work_add() signals the CQ ring eventfd inline when it is the one to push the first entry onto ->work_list. For DEFER_TASKRUN rings that add is frequently done from a waitqueue wakeup handler, where an arbitrary waitqueue lock is held. eventfd_signal_mask() only refuses to recurse when current->in_eventfd is set, but that bit is set by eventfd_signal_mask() itself. If the wake chain starts somewhere else, signal goes out inline and can feed back into epoll. Add IOU_F_TWQ_IN_WAKE, set it on the task_work add done from the three waitqueue callbacks, and use it to force io_eventfd_signal() down the existing call_rcu_hurry() deferral instead of signaling inline.

2026-08-16futex/pi: Plug private futex exec() raceThomas Gleixner1-0/+2
The check for private futexes whether the waiter's mm, which is stored in the futex_key and copied into the pi_state, is the same as the owner's mm is not sufficient for exec(). exec() has a gap where the mm check fails to give the correct answer: exec() ... exec_release_mm() futex_exec_release() tsk::futex::exit_state = EXITING; cleanup_robust_list(); 1) tsk::futex::exit_state = OK; ... old_mm = tsk::mm; 2) tsk::mm = ->mm; Between #1 and #2 the check for the mm is wrong as that mm is about to be swapped out and eventually freed. Plug this gap by: 1) Setting tsk::futex::exit_state to FUTEX_STATE_DEAD in futex_exec_release() 2) Setting tsk::futex::exit_state to FUTEX_STATE_OK after the mm has been switched. From a futex point of view the task is dead after it finished the robust list cleanup up to the point where it sets the state to OK again.

2026-08-15bpf: Add ksock kfuncsMahe Tardy1-0/+36
Add BPF kfuncs that allow BPF LSM programs to create and use sockets for sending data. This provides a mechanism for BPF programs to emit telemetry. For this first patch set, it's restricted to SOCK_DGRAM socket types with IPPROTO_UDP protocol but could be easily extended to SOCK_STREAM and IPPROTO_TCP in the future. The API consists of five kfuncs: bpf_ksock_create() - Create a socket (sleepable) bpf_ksock_connect() - Connect socket to remote address (sleepable) bpf_ksock_send() - Send data through the socket (sleepable) bpf_ksock_acquire() - Acquire a reference to a socket context bpf_ksock_release() - Release a reference (cleanup via queue_rcu_work since sock_release sleeps) The setup kfuncs bpf_ksock_create, bpf_ksock_connect, can be called from SYSCALL programs only. While bpf_ksock_acquire, bpf_ksock_release and bpf_ksock_send can be called from SYSCALL and LSM programs. The implementation follows the established kfunc lifecycle pattern (create/acquire/release with refcounting, kptr map storage, dtor registration). The kernel socket is wrapped in a refcounted bpf_ksock struct. Cleanup is deferred via queue_rcu_work() because sock_release() may sleep. The kfuncs are only compiled when CONFIG_INET is enabled, as they specifically support AF_INET and AF_INET6 sockets. The socket operations go through the expected LSM hooks instead of by-passing them like many kernel sockets since those are created by BPF programs and thus system users. Thus, the bpf_ksock_send() kfunc, which is exposed to LSM progs has a verifier filter protection to avoid recursion so that the whole bpf_kfunc_set kfunc set cannot be called in a program attached to security_socket_sendmsg(). Also, because of the LSM checks, we prevent the use of the kfuncs from asynchronous workqueue as the current value would then be invalid. In bpf_ksock_create(), we copy the arg values to avoid TOCTOU races since the kfunc can sleep and the arg values could be stored in a map that could be re-written by BPF progs or even userspace programs if the map is mmaped.

2026-08-15net: Add connect_socket() helperMahe Tardy1-0/+2
Add a helper that connects an existing socket while invoking the LSM hook. Reuse it in __sys_connect_file() to avoid duplicating the connect logic. Other socket operations have equivalent helpers that trigger the appropriate LSM hooks that can be reused, this one was the only one missing. This will be used in the next commit for a new BPF kfunc that needs to connect a socket and trigger the LSM hook.
