Pull tracefs updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Define event fields before directory creation
Move the event_define_fields() call in event_create_dir() before the
eventfs directory creation. Previously, a failure after directory
creation wouldn't clean up eventfs_inode because the error path
didn't call eventfs_remove_dir(). This eliminates the need to clean
up the eventfs directories if event_define_fields() fails.
- Add warning for out of bounds pos in __eventfs_iterate()
Sashiko complains about the ctx->pos causing issues if it is less
than 2 or greater than MAX_INT in __eventfs_iterate(). The thing is,
the logic prevents that from happening. But to make Sashiko happy,
add a WARN_ON() and exit safely if the function ever does get input
that is out of the range the function expects.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Expose btf_ids to trace events
In order to allow BPF programs to attach to system call trace events
(which are actually pseudo trace events built on top of raw_syscall
events), expose the BTF ID of the events. This will allow BPF
programs better precision in attaching to events.
- Use "u64" to assign to hist_field->type
Instead of using kstrdup("u64", GFP_KERNEL) to assign the
hist_field->type, just point it to "u64" instead. The
hist_field->type is freed via kfree_const().
- Replace kmalloc()/strcpy() with kstrdup() for trace_printk
Instead of having two calls to copy the module format string, just
use kstrdup().
- Use __free() in trace event histograms and triggres where possible
- Use seq_buf in trace event code instead of strcat()
Instead of calculating the size of the buffer to use and filling it
with strcat(), use the seq_buf infrastructure that takes care of
making sure not to overflow the string size.
- Reject invalid preemptirq_delay_test CPU affinity
The preempt_delay_test module can take an invalid CPU affinity mask
and create confusing output. Simply have the module reject invalid
affinity masks.
- Prevent division by zero in ftrace_ops sample module code
If the ftrace_ops sample module code receives the module parameter
nr_function_calls set to zero, it can cause a division by zero error.
- Warn when an event dereferences a parameter in TP_printk()
On boot up and module load, the trace event TP_printk() is scanned
for possible bugs. As the TP_printk() code is executed when the user
reads the "trace" file and processes the data written when the
trace_event executed, the data it reads can be literally days old.
The scan currently checks for dereferencing printk formats like
"%pI6". But it does not check if the parameters themselves have a
dereference like:
TP_printk("offset %08x: value %08x",
(u32)(__entry->addr - __entry->edma->membase), __entry->value)
__entry represents the pointer to the event on the ring buffer. The
__entry->edma->membase is dereferencing a pointer on the ring buffer
to find membase, but the __entry->edma may no longer be a valid
pointer.
Warn on this case too.
- Replace some strcpy() with strscpy()
- Clean up mmiotrace events to use assign_type() macro
The assign_type() macro makes sure the event type is indeed the type
that is being parsed. The mmiotrace trace was written before that
macro was created so it just simply typecasted the pointer.
Replace the typecasting with the macro.
- Have the ENUM processing to numbers only process what is added
The code that converts ENUMs to their numbers in the trace events
scanned all events to do the processing. This was true when a module
was loaded too. That is, instead of processing just the events for
the module, it processed *all* events. Even the builtin ones that
were processed at boot up.
Add a check for the event->module matching mod if it is a module
before processing it.

Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Deprecrate ftrace_enabled in disabling ftrace
The file /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled was created when ftrace was
first introduced back in 2008. It was to be a "kill switch" if
something was to go wrong. It was also used as a way to turn off
function tracing for the latency tracers that would have it on by
default. But in 2013 (Linux 3.10) the option "function-trace" was
introduced to disable function tracing for the latency tracers as the
"ftrace_enabled" file was considered too big of a hammer and caused
too many side effects.
When live kernel patching came along, disabling ftrace via the
ftrace_enabled file would put the system into an unstable state if a
live kernel patch was installed. This created the need to mark some
function hooks as "PERMANENT".
Now there's a need for BPF usage marked as PERMANENT for the same
reasons.
The file "ftrace_enabled" usage is no longer viable. It doesn't do
what it says it does and there is no reason to use it.
Make writing '0' to it a nop and print a message saying its usage is
deprecated. The return value of writing '0' is -EOPNOTSUPP so that
user space will error on that write (hopefully to inform any
developer that it no longer works).
Eventually the file should be removed completely, but for now just
making it not do anything is the path forward to that.
- Update the livepatch tests to handle ftrace_enabled being disabled
Because in the past, livepatch was broken by ftrace_enabled being
turned off, there's a test case that checks to make sure it still
doesn't break. But having the write of '0' return an error caused
that test to break. Updated the test to handle the new change.

Pull Real-time Verifier updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Switch LTL and DOT parsers to Lark in code generation tool
The rvgen code generation tool originally parsed DOT files and LTL
specifications using custom string parsing and Ply, which is no
longer maintained. The DOT parser was fragile and prone to failure on
minor format variations. Both LTL and DOT parsers have been rewritten
to use the Lark parsing library.
- Simplify Hybrid Automata clock variables
The clock variables in hybrid automata monitors now use a single
representation of the elapsed time since the clock was reset, rather
than converting between invariant and guard representations. This
allows simpler code generation for the newly refactored parser.
- Generate cleanup hook for per-obj monitor
The code generation scripts now adds a cleanup function to per-obj
monitors for the user to wire to the appropriate event (e.g.
sched_process_exit for tasks).
- Reduce read_lock scope during per-task cleanup
Take the tasklist_lock only when necessary, that is when iterating
over for_each_process_thread().
- Simplify task monitor slot management
Only rely on the slot array for per-task slot management to avoid
inconsistency with the unused counter.
- Improve rvgen code robustness and templates
Use pathlib in rvgen and improve kernel path discovery. Also improve
consistency across templates when generating code (e.g. author
placeholder and monitor struct name).
- Update rtapp sleep monitor
Simplify the sleep monitor by excluding kernel threads and updating
the nanosleep check to focus only on CLOCK_REALTIME. Also switch to
use the sched_exit tracepoint to run in the context of the offending
(wakee) task.
- Add wakeup monitor
Add the new rtapp/wakeup monitor to detect when lower-priority tasks
wake up higher-priority ones, complementing the existing sleep
monitor by running in the waker context and capturing its stack
trace.
- Fix tools/rv exit status on failure
Ensure the rv tool returns a failure exit code when a monitor fails
to start because it was already running.
- Add automated selftests for tools/rv and rvgen
Introduced automated bash selftests to validate rv monitor listing
and execution under different configurations. Added tests for the
rvgen code generator, validating generated files against expected
output (golden). Tests are reachable via make check.
- Add KUnit test coverage for verification monitors
Added comprehensive KUnit tests to validate the functionality of
deterministic, hybrid, and LTL monitors by emulating event sequences
and timing in a mock environment without affecting the running kernel
while expecting mock reactions to fire. Ensure real RV monitors
cannot run during KUnit tests to avoid state corruption.
- Mock current in rv monitors
Mock the call to current in rv monitors when the KUnit tests are
built to allow them to run the test on dummy tasks. No overhead is
expected when KUnit tests aren't running.
- Introduce rvgen kunit subcommand
Added a new 'kunit' subcommand to rvgen to automatically patch an
already generated monitor with KUnit integration templates by parsing
its event handlers and creating the required mock structures and
initializations.
- Refine kernel verification selftests
Added new selftests for the deadline and stall monitors and
rearranged the existing wwnr_printk test to resolve flakiness.
Additionally, fixed an issue in the selftests framework where
negative assertion failures were not correctly propagated due to
shell rules.
- Fix 32-bit build of nomiss KUnit test
A previous commit introduced a division between an u64 and a constant
value and that doesn't build on 32-bit systems. Use div_u64()
instead.
- Document changes in sleep monitor
The sleep monitor introduced some changes in the past like allowing
epoll_wait() as a valid sleep and a task going to runnable before
scheduling as a valid wakeup. Document both.

mlock_all() and prefaulting.
- Provide 32-bit legacy time related functionality only if

but architecture code still exposes the legacy functionality even
disabled.

time that the VDSO is legacy free if disabled.

which removes some non-sensical dependencies and quite an amount of
#ifdeffery.

Pull timer and timekeeping core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Fix a subtly inconsistency in the timekeeping code, which fails to
account for the monotonicity adjustment in ntp_error.
For small changes of the clocksource multiplicator (+/-1) which are
typically used by the NTP PLL this is hard to observe. But for larger
adjustments, e.g. caused by a direct frequency setting through
adjtimex() the one-time uncompensated offset is significant.
Cure this by adjusting ntp_error with the resulting offset so that
the discrepancy is smoothed away over time
- Make tick length calculations correct in NTP.
The timekeeping core takes the quantisation of the clocksource into
account when calculating the tick length to compensate for the
deviation of the nominal NTP_INTERVAL_LENGTH.
While timekeeping gets this right, NTP is not aware of that, which
means it operates on the nominal value and not on the actual value
which is determined by the clock source frequency. The rounding of a
coarse clocksource like the ACPI PM timer results in a +127 PPM
deviation.
Cure this by exposing the deviation to the NTP code so that it can
operate on the same data as the timekeeping core. This is purely
kernel internal. User space still sees the nominal tick lenght via
adjtimex().
- The accuracy of the NTP adjustments is fairly approximate as the code
assumes that the invocations are precisely in NTP interval frequency
ticks and the final adjustment can over and under-run.
Cure this by adjusting ntp_error by the intended skew on each tick to
achieve the desired rate.
- Handle the two competing skews of time offset and time adjustment
correctly by calculating the conflict portion between the skews and
adjusting both accordingly.
- A set of updates and improvements for the selftests
- The usual small fixes and improvements all over the place

Pull SMP core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Reduce the preemption disabled sections in smp_call_function*().
The various smp call functions keep preemption disabled accross the
full operation which includes the wait for completion. Especially the
latter can take some time when one of the target CPUs is not
immediately responding to the IPI, which can result in large latency
spikes.
To improve this provide a per task CPU mask to track the CPUs to wait
for. That makes the information required for the wait task local and
therefore allows to reenable preemption before the wait.
While this comes with moderate extra memory cost this reduces SMP
function call induced latency measured in a fleet for high priority
tasks from ~17ms to ~1.5ms (~90%).

memory barriers with smp_store_release()/acquire()

Pull generic entry code updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Make syscall user dispatching configurable
Not all architectures can makes use of syscall user dispatching.
Allow them to disable the feature completely.
- Consolidate stack randomization for the generic entry code and the
architectures using it.
Stack randomization on syscall entry was sprinkled throughout the
architecture specific low level entry code and in some cases at the
wrong points, e.g. before establishing state, which violates the
non-instrumentable constraints of that code.
Clean this up by integrating stack randomization into the generic
entry code helpers so that it is invoked at the earliest possible
point right after establishing state and converting all generic entry
code using architecture over.
- Clean up the syscall number handling in the generic entry code. It
works correctly for architectures which have a separate return value
storage in pt_regs, but fails to distinguish the case where user
space handed in -1 as syscall number from the case where the entry
code rejects it by returning -1 to the callers. Aside of that the
return value functionality of those interfaces is not really
intuitive.
Fix this by separating the decision to reject a syscall (user
dispatch, ptrace, seccomp ...) from the potential modification of the
syscall number through these mechanisms.
This solves most of the problems for architectures which do not have
a separate return value storage in pt_regs except for the case where
a tracepoint has a BPF script or a probe attached which overwrite
both the syscall number and the return value. But that's a problem
which cannot be solved in the generic code, that only can be
addressed by separating the storage model in the affected
architectures.

When timers are migrated away from an offline CPU the debugobjects state
gets corrupted. The timer is accounted as inactive on deletion, but the
enqueue on the alive CPU lacks the activation call.
That used to work, but got broken when the trace point and the debug
objects call got separated. That change missed to fixup
migrate_timer_list().
Add the missing debug_timer_activate() invocation to fix it.

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...).
The visible result is that /proc/2/root is a nullfs with an empty
mountinfo while /proc/1/root is the real root"

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.

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

GCC emits BTF line records with a file name and line number, but leaves the
source line string empty. bpf_diag_source() currently treats that empty string
as if the complete line record were unavailable, so diagnostics fall back to
an instruction number and discard the function, file, and line attribution.
Print the available source location before deciding whether source context can
be rendered. When source text is absent, omit only the source context and retain
the diagnostic annotation and instruction context.

The Call Type Safety diagnostics mishandle three kfunc argument classes.
BTF type ID 0 represents void, but btf_show_name() also uses zero to end
type traversal. A pointer that resolves to void therefore loses its pointee
name and is rendered as "()". End traversal directly for concrete terminal
types, but resolve referenced types before testing for ID zero, and name the
void terminal type explicitly. Format the complete parameter pointer type
for nullable kfunc arguments, so void pointers are reported as (void *).
Also add the missing structured report when an __szk memory-size argument is
not a verifier-known constant. Describe the generic bpf_refcount_acquire()
contract without deriving an object type from its void pointer prototype.

check_helper_call() clears all caller-saved registers before taking the
diagnostic snapshot of R0. This records NOT_INIT as the old state for every
helper return and loses the lineage of the value held in R0 before the call.
bpf_diag_record_caller_saved() deliberately skips R0 because the paired
modification scope is responsible for it.
Open the R0 modification scope before clearing caller-saved registers,
matching the kfunc, ld_abs, and subprogram call paths.

A cgroup getsockopt BPF program can shrink ctx->optlen after the
kernel getsockopt handler has run. The kernel-buffer variant, used by
TCP_ZEROCOPY_RECEIVE, only rejects values larger than the original
length.
If BPF writes a negative optlen, that value is accepted and propagated
back to the TCP getsockopt code. It can then be passed to
copy_to_sockptr() as a size_t and trigger the hardened usercopy
bytes > INT_MAX warning.
Reject negative ctx.optlen in __cgroup_bpf_run_filter_getsockopt_kern(),
matching the lower-bound validation already present in the sockptr-based
getsockopt hook.

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.

check_ptr_to_btf_access() allows the program to store before the default
BTF access path gets to reject a non read access. ac65c710cc64 ("bpf:
Reject writes through untrusted BTF pointers") closed that for a
PTR_UNTRUSTED pointer, but a bare PTR_TO_BTF_ID may fault on a dereference
just the same and is let through.
A BPF_LDX gets the BPF_PROBE_MEM rewrite in bpf_convert_ctx_accesses()
and a bad address is handled, but a BPF_STX does not and cannot, there
is no probed store to rewrite. The store is emitted as a plain one without
an exception table entry and a bad address panics the kernel.
A bpf_qdisc program can reach this, bpf_qdisc_btf_struct_access() permits a
write to Qdisc::limit and Qdisc::next_sched is a plain struct Qdisc pointer
which the walk turns into the compat type:
struct Qdisc *next = sch->next_sched;
next->limit = 1000;

reg_type_mismatch_ok() enumerates the pointer types which must not
silently share a BPF_LDX with a different one, since the type recorded

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

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. Fix it by
normalizing the merged type instead.
Reuse it in is_load_acq_unsafe() to avoid open coding, and trim the
overly verbose comment which is more of an implementation detail of
bpf_convert_ctx_accesses() anyway.

Atomic RMW verification records an instruction pointer type only when the
current destination is PTR_TO_ARENA. A second path can therefore reach the
same instruction with an ordinary pointer without comparing it against the
saved arena type.
The post-verification fixup uses the saved type to rewrite the instruction
to BPF_PROBE_ATOMIC for every path. Record the actual destination type for
all atomic RMW paths so the existing mismatch check rejects incompatible
uses of one instruction.

dequeue_task_scx() masks SCX_DEQ_CORE_SCHED_EXEC out of the
SCX_DEQ_SCHED_CHANGE decision, but the test can never fire: the incoming
flags are an int of generic DEQUEUE_* bits while the flag is bit 32, and the
core-sched execute path never goes through class dequeue anyway -
set_next_task_scx() calls ops_dequeue() with the flag directly. The test was
live when the SCX_DEQ_SCHED_CHANGE computation sat in ops_dequeue() and
became dead when 03f5304aad0f ("sched_ext: Pass full dequeue flags to

With sub-schedulers, tasks of different schedulers routinely share rqs and
SMT siblings, but scx_prio_less() consults ops.core_sched_before() only when
both tasks belong to the same scheduler. Every pair spanning two schedulers
falls back to the default ordering, so no scheduler can express ordering
across a scheduler boundary, including a root over its sub-schedulers'
tasks.
Order a pair spanning schedulers by the nearest common ancestor that
implements ops.core_sched_before(): both tasks are in its subtree, making
this the one op where a scheduler is called on tasks it delegated to its
sub-schedulers and may not be scheduling anymore. Same-scheduler pairs keep
using the owning scheduler's op so a parent never orders inside a subtree it
delegated. The op is skipped when the deciding scheduler is bypassing on
either task's CPU.
Update scx_qmap to fall back to the kernel's default ordering when handed a
delegated task it has no task_ctx for.

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.

scx_prio_less() implements prio_less() semantics - %true means that @a is
the lower priority and should run after @b. ops.core_sched_before() is
documented to return %true when @a should run before @b. scx_prio_less()
returns the op's value as-is, inverting the documented semantics at runtime.
Call the op with the arguments swapped.
scx_qmap followed the wiring instead of the documentation and returned %true
for the younger task, so the two inversions canceled out and it behaved as
intended. Flip its comparison to match. scx_qmap is likely the only current
user in or out of the kernel tree. Any scheduler written the same way needs
the same flip, while schedulers following the documentation are fixed by
this change.

futex_hash_allocate() allocates mm->futex.phash.ref without any locking.
Commit d9b05321e21e ("futex: Move futex_hash_free() back to __mmput()")
moved the allocation here and assumed that the process has just a single
thread at this point.
Commit ee9dce44362b ("futex: Drop CLONE_THREAD requirement for private
default hash alloc") widened need_futex_hash_allocate_default() to cover
any CLONE_VM clone, but left out vfork because the parent is suspended and
cannot race.
That no longer holds once vfork is nested. If a vfork child calls vfork
again and is then killed with SIGKILL, the parent is released from its
vfork wait and runs concurrently with the grandchild in the same mm.
Neither of them went through futex_hash_allocate_default().
When both call prctl(PR_FUTEX_HASH, PR_FUTEX_HASH_SET_SLOTS) at the same
time, each one sees mm->futex.phash.ref as NULL and stores its own percpu
counter. Only the last store survives. The counter stored first is no
longer reachable from the mm, so the references on it are not seen by
__futex_ref_atomic_end(). A private hash that still has references is then
considered dead and freed, and a task that still holds one of its buckets
writes into freed memory in futex_q_lock().
Store the counter once with cmpxchg() and let the loser free_percpu() its
own. The initial reference has to be taken before the store, otherwise
another task can install a private hash while the counter is still 0.

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.

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.
