2026-07-13sched_ext: Add ops.init_cids() to finalize the cid layout before initTejun Heo4-29/+55
A cid-form scheduler that calls scx_bpf_cid_override() to install a custom cid layout can only do so from ops.init(). Enable-path setup that depends on the cid layout thus has to run after ops.init(), and ops.init() itself can't use anything derived from the final layout, which turned out to be too restrictive. Add an ops.init_cids() callback dedicated to finalizing the cid layout. It runs before the rest of the enable-path setup, so the final layout is in effect for everything that follows including ops.init(), which now runs after the arena pool and cmask scratch allocations. scx_bpf_cid_override() is restricted to ops.init_cids() at load time. It sits in a kfunc set gated by SCX_KF_ALLOW_INIT_CIDS, a flag set only on the init_cids op, so the verifier rejects a call from any other context. The runtime root-only check is dropped as ops.init_cids() only runs during root enable. The qmap demo moves its override into a dedicated qmap_init_cids() and, while at it, introduces an enum for the cid override modes instead of hard-coded integers.

2026-07-13sched_ext: Make the kick machinery per-schedTejun Heo3-35/+106
The kick machinery kept its targets in rq->scx shared by every sched on the cpu. A preempt kick carried no record of which scheduler requested it. A later patch needs preempt kicks scoped to the requesting scheduler so a sub-scheduler can preempt only tasks in its own subtree. Move the kick masks into the per-sched per-cpu scx_sched_pcpu and have scx_kick_cpu() link the sched onto a per-cpu list (rq->scx.sched_pcpus_to_kick). The cpu's single kick irq_work walks that list and kicks each sched's targets on its behalf, so a kick stays attributed to its scheduler. The SCX_KICK_WAIT sync set (cpus_to_sync, the kick_sync snapshot and the balance-callback trigger) stays in rq->scx: the waiter is the cpu, not the scheduler, and its only writers, the kick irq_work and the wait balance callback, are cpu-local. On disable, free_kick_syncs() flushes each cpu's pending kick irq_work before clearing @ksyncs, so a late kick unlinks its to_kick_node instead of early-returning on a NULL @ksyncs and leaving the node linked at free. v3: Flush the kick irq_work in free_kick_syncs() before clearing @ksyncs.

2026-07-13sched_ext: Assert per-task ops run on the task's ownerTejun Heo2-8/+22
A per-task op must be dispatched on the scheduler that owns the task. SCX_CALL_OP_TASK() and its _RET twin take @sch explicitly, and a caller that passes the wrong scheduler would silently run the op on it. Add a WARN_ON_ONCE() that @sch matches the task's owner so such a mismatch is caught rather than hidden. Two sites legitimately target a scheduler other than the task's owner: cgroup_move() runs on the root sched, and scx_sub_init_cancel_task() fires exit_task() on a task not yet associated with @sch. Both switch to the inner __SCX_CALL_OP_TASK(), which dispatches on the explicit @sch without the assert. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Andrea Righi <arighi@nvidia.com>

2026-07-13crash_dump: release keyring reference at the correct timeGuangshuo Li1-5/+10
restore_dm_crypt_keys_to_thread_keyring() gets a reference to the user keyring before restoring the saved dm-crypt keys. The same keyring reference is then passed to add_key_to_keyring() for each saved key, but add_key_to_keyring() drops that reference on every call. This is only balanced when exactly one key is restored. With multiple keys, the keyring reference is dropped too many times and may trigger a refcount underflow or use-after-free. When more than five keys are restored, a refcount underflow/use-after-free warning can be triggered. The early error paths after lookup_user_key() also return without dropping the keyring reference. Keep ownership of the keyring reference in restore_dm_crypt_keys_to_thread_keyring(), drop it once on all exit paths, and make add_key_to_keyring() only use the reference without consuming it.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Free field in error path of synthetic event parse In __create_synth_event() the field was allocated but was not freed in the error path - Fix ring_buffer_event_length() on 8 byte aligned architectures On architectures with CONFIG_HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS set to y, the ring_buffer_event_length() may return the wrong size. This is because archs with that config set will always use the "big event meta header" as that is 8 bytes keeping the payload 8 bytes aligned, even when a 4 byte header could hold the size of the event But ring_buffer_event_length() doesn't take this into account and only subtracts 4 bytes for the meta header in the length when it should have subtracted 8 bytes - Have osnoise wait for a full rcu synchronization on unregister osnoise_unregister_instance() used to call synchronize_rcu() before freeing its copy of the instance but was switched to kfree_rcu(). The osniose tracer has code that traverses the instances that it uses, and inst is just a pointer to that instance. By using kfree_rcu() instead of synchronize_rcu(), the instance that the inst pointer is pointing to can be freed while the osnoise code is still referencing it That is, a rmdir on an instance first unregisters the tracer. When the unregister finishes, the rmdir expects that the tracer is finished with the instance that it is using. By putting back the synchronize_rcu() in osnoise_unregister_instance() the unregistering of osnoise will now return when all the users of the instance have finished - Remove an unused setting of "ret" in tracing_set_tracer() - Fix ring_buffer_read_page() copying events The commit that changed ring_buffer_read_page() to show dropped events from the buffer itself, split the "commit" variable between the commit value (with flags) and "size" that holds the size of the sub-buffer. A cut and paste error changed the test of the reading from checking the size of the buffer to the size of the event causing reads to only read one event at a time - Make tracepoint_printk a static variable When the tracing sysctl knobs were move from sysctl.c to trace.c, the variable tracepoint_printk no longer needed to be global. Make it static - Fix some typos - Fix NULL pointer dereference in func_set_flag() The flags update of the function tracer first checks if the value of the flag is the same and exits if they are, and then it checks if the current tracer is the function tracer and exits if it isn't. The problem is that these checks need to be in a reversed order, as if the tracer isn't the function tracer, then the flag being checked may not exist. Reverse the order of these checks - Fix ufs core trace events to not dereference a pointer in TP_printk() The TP_printk() part of the TRACE_EVENT() macro is called when the user reads the "trace" file. This can be seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, and even months after the data was recorded into the ring buffer. Thus, saving a pointer to an object into the ring buffer and then dereferencing it from TP_printk() can cause harm as the object the pointer is pointing to may no longer exist Fix all the trace events in ufs core to save the device name in the ring buffer instead of dereferencing the device descriptor from TP_printk() - Prevent out-of-bound reads in glob matching of trace events The filter logic of events allows simple glob logic to add wild cards to filter on strings. But some events have fields that may not have a terminating 'nul' character. This may cause the glob matching to go beyond the string. Change the logic to always pass in the length of the field that is being matched - Add no-rcu-check version of trace_##event##_enabled() The trace_##event##_enabled() usually wraps trace events to do extra work that is only needed when the trace event is enabled. But this can hide events that are placed in locations where RCU is not watching, and can make lockdep not see these bugs when the event is not enabled The trace_##event##_enabled() was updated to always test to make sure RCU is watching to catch locations that may call events without RCU being active This caused a false positive for the irq_disabled() and related events. As that use trace_irq_disabled_enabled() to force RCU to be watching when the event is enabled via the ct_irq_enter() function, calls the event, and then calls ct_irq_exit() to put RCU back to its original state The trace_irq_disabled_enabled() should not trigger a warning when RCU is not watching because the code within its block handles the case properly. Make a __trace_##event##_enabled() version for this event to use that doesn't check RCU is watching as it handles the case when it isn't - Fix use-after-free in user_event_mm_dup() When the enabler is removed from the link list, it is freed immediately. But it is protected via RCU and needs to be freed after an RCU grace period. Use queue_rcu_work() so that the event_mutex can also be taken as user_event_put() takes the mutex on the last reference is released - Free type string in error path of parse_synth_field() There's an error path in parse_synth_field() where the allocated type string is not freed - Add selftest that tests deferred event teardown - Fix leak in error path of trace_remote_alloc_buffer() If page allocation fails, the desc->nr_cpus is not incremented for the current CPU and the allocations done for it are not freed - Fix allocation length in trace_remote_alloc_buffer() The logic to calculate the struct_len was doing a double count and setting the value too large. Calculate the size upfront to fix the error and simplify the logic - Fix sparse CPU masks in ring_buffer_desc() If there are sparse CPUs (gaps in the numbering), the ring_buffer_desc() will fail as it tests the CPU number against the number of CPUs that are used * tag 'trace-v7.2-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: ring-buffer: Allow sparse CPU masks in ring_buffer_desc() tracing/remotes: Fix struct_len in trace_remote_alloc_buffer() tracing/remotes: Fix leak in trace_remote_alloc_buffer() error path selftests/user_events: Wait for deferred event teardown after unregister tracing/synthetic: Free type string on error path tracing/user_events: Fix use-after-free in user_event_mm_dup() tracing: Add a no-rcu-check version of trace_##event##_enabled() tracing: Prevent out-of-bounds read in glob matching ufs: core: tracing: Do not dereference pointers in TP_printk() tracing: Fix NULL pointer dereference in func_set_flag() samples: ftrace: Fix typos in benchmark comment tracing: Make tracepoint_printk static as not exported ring-buffer: Fix ring_buffer_read_page() copying only one event per page tracing: Remove unused ret assignment in tracing_set_tracer() tracing/osnoise: Call synchronize_rcu() when unregistering ring-buffer: Fix event length with forced 8-byte alignment tracing/synthetic: Free pending field on error path
2026-07-12seccomp, treewide: Rename and convert __secure_computing() to return booleanJinjie Ruan1-19/+17
The return value of __secure_computing() currently uses 0 to indicate that a system call should be allowed, and -1 to indicate that it should be blocked/killed. This 0/-1 pattern is non-intuitive for a security check function and makes the control flow at the call sites less readable. Furthermore, any potential future changes to these return values would require a high-risk, error-prone audit of all its users across different architectures. Sanitize this logic by converting the return type of __secure_computing() to a proper boolean, where 'true' explicitly means 'allow' and 'false' means 'fail/deny'. Update all the two dozen or so call sites across the tree to align with this new boolean semantic. No functional changes are intended, as the callers still return -1 to the lower-level assembly entry code upon seccomp denial. Rename the function to __seccomp_permit_syscall() so that the purpose is entirely clear.

2026-07-10sched_ext: Skip ops.set_weight() for disabled tasksKuba Piecuch1-0/+11

Notably, ops.set_weight() is called _after_ ops.disable(). This violates the expected semantics of the callbacks, the expectation being that ops.disable() can only be followed by ops.exit_task() or ops.enable(). Skipping the weight adjustment for disabled tasks should be harmless since the weight will be recalculated in scx_enable_task() if the task ever rejoins SCX.

2026-07-10perf/aux: Fix page UAF in map_range()Lee Jia Jie1-0/+2
map_range() reads rb->aux_pages[], rb->aux_nr_pages and rb->aux_pgoff via perf_mmap_to_page() while holding only event->mmap_mutex. Those fields are serialized by rb->aux_mutex, and mmap_mutex is per event. Thus, two events sharing one rb via PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT can race rb_alloc_aux() with map_range(), leading to a page-UAF scenario as follows: CPU 0 CPU 1 ===== ===== rb_alloc_aux() map_range() [1]: allocate rb->aux_pages[0] [2]: rb->aux_nr_pages++ [3]: perf_mmap_to_page() returns rb->aux_pages[0] [4]: map it as VM_PFNMAP [5]: rb->aux_pgoff = 1 munmap the page [6]: free rb->aux_pages[0] Pages mapped as VM_PFNMAP have no refcount protection, so CPU 1 holds a mapping to a freed physical frame.

time_offset (the exponential PLL phase slew) and time_adjust (the linear adjtime() slew) can be asked to move the clock in opposite directions. second_overflow() folds only their *net* into the per-tick skew_delta, so the cancelling overlap would never be drained from either tracker by the per-tick code — and if they cancel exactly, skew_delta is zero and neither converges at all. Arguably we could just let one of them entirely cancel out the other immediately, but that would be a change in userspace-visible behaviour. Instead, preserve the existing behaviour by calculating the "conflict" portion between the opposing skew each second, and transferring that amount directly from one tracker to the other.

2026-07-10timekeeping: Drive time_adjust skew via per-tick ntp_error transferDavid Woodhouse2-31/+107
The legacy adjtime() slew (ADJ_OFFSET_SINGLESHOT) was the last user of tick_length != tick_length_base: it slewed the clock by inflating tick_length directly, which delivered the correction imprecisely (e.g. delivering only 4997.5µs when asked for a 5ms skew). Deliver it accurately through the same per-tick mechanism that is now used for time_offset, allowing it to contribute to skew_delta and thus drive the delivery through ntp_error and mult selection. To allow for accurate accounting, store the sub-microsecond part of time_adjust is separately, while keeping time_adjust in microseconds as that's the external API.

2026-07-10timekeeping: Drive time_offset skew via per-tick ntp_error transferDavid Woodhouse3-9/+117
Currently, the phase offset of time_offset and time_adjust is delivered by adjusting tick_length in second_overflow(), and immediately draining time_offset/time_adjust by the amount that the tick_length adjustment is *estimated* to cause. This is fairly approximate, in part because it is not always correct to assume that precisely NTP_INTERVAL_FREQ ticks will occur between one call to second_overflow() and the next. It could also over and under-run in the final second of delivery. Instead of inflating tick_length, transfer the intended skew directly into ntp_error each tick to achieve the desired rate. In second_overflow(), calculate skew_delta which is the per-tick slew rate, in the same units as time_offset: (ns << NTP_SCALE_SHIFT) / HZ. In logarithmic_accumulation(), drain up to 'skew_delta' time units from time_offset into ntp_error to drive the overall effective rate. The new ntp_drain_skew() function returns the amount which is actually 'claimed' by time_offset (and in a future patch, time_adjust). Any overrun which is delivered by the changed 'mult' (as described below) but not claimed by ntp_drain_skew() will remain in ntp_error to be corrected away in subsequent ticks. Simply transferring the precise amount from time_offset to ntp_error would be sufficent to make the time *eventually* converge, however the skew delivered is limited by the choice of { mult, mult+1 } each tick and thus the convergence would be extremely slow. In theory we could inflate ntp_err_mult with the magnitude of ntp_error in the general case — but that would cause overcorrection in a tickless kernel. Instead, in timekeeping_adjust(), take skew_delta into account when calculating 'mult', such that the available {mult, mult+1} choices bracket the overall effective rate *including* the skew, to avoid the delta just building up in ntp_error. The effect is that the inflated 'mult' causes ntp_error to grow because xtime_interval is (e.g.) longer than the true tick_length. But then the same delta is removed again as it's drained from time_offset. This gives behaviour equivalent to the old tick_length += delta approach but with exact per-tick accounting of the time_offset actually imparted to the clock, and no overrun.

2026-07-10timekeeping: Account for clocksource tick quantisation via NTPDavid Woodhouse3-21/+72
cycle_interval is an integer number of counter cycles per NTP interval, so the real time it represents differs from the nominal NTP_INTERVAL_LENGTH by up to half a counter period. For coarse clocksources this is significant: the 3.579545 MHz ACPI PM timer at HZ=1000 rounds 3579.545 cycles up to 3580, making each tick 1.000127 ms (+127 PPM). Commit a386b5af8edd ("time: Compensate for rounding on odd-frequency clocksources") introduced xtime_remainder to compensate for exactly this, citing the same 127 PPM ACPI PM example. The compensation is correct and necessary, but it was applied inside the timekeeping accumulation in timekeeping.c: subtracted in the mult computation in timekeeping_adjust() and folded into the ntp_error update in logarithmic_accumulation(). That keeps the base rate correct and leaves NTP its full symmetric +/-MAXFREQ range rather than +373/-627 PPM, but the NTP code in ntp.c never sees it: tick_length is computed without the correction, so ntp.c's notion of how long a tick is disagrees with the rate timekeeping actually produces. Make the offset an explicit part of the NTP tick_length instead. Add ntp_data::cs_tick_adj, a fixed per-second addend that ntp_update_frequency() includes alongside ntp_tick_adj and time_freq. tk_setup_internals() computes it from the difference between the real cycle_interval duration and the nominal interval, stores it in the timekeeper, and hands it to NTP through a new argument to ntp_clear() -- which already recomputes the frequency and is invoked after every clocksource (re)configuration. timekeeping_init() now uses TK_UPDATE_ALL for this; clearing NTP there is otherwise redundant since ntp_init() has just initialised it. ntp.c now computes the true tick rate, giving a single source of truth. Like ntp_tick_adj, cs_tick_adj stays internal to the kernel: userspace still sees the nominal 1.000000 ms tick via adjtimex and is unaware of the addends. timekeeping_adjust() and logarithmic_accumulation() use ntp_tick / xtime_interval directly, and xtime_remainder is removed. The base-rate arithmetic is unchanged: ntp_tick becomes xtime_interval << ntp_error_shift, so the mult division yields the same base mult and the ntp_error accumulation still nets to zero per tick. Beyond the cleanup of treating all the tick_length contributions (nominal interval, ntp_tick_adj, cs_tick_adj, time_freq) consistently as addends in one place, it also prepares for feed-forward discipline: a future timekeeping_set_reference() will set tick_length to track an absolute external reference such as a vmclock, and that path needs ntp.c to own a tick_length that already reflects the clocksource quantisation, with no hidden correction applied elsewhere.

2026-07-09sched_ext: Keep rq tracking accurate in the consume pathAndrea Righi1-13/+13
consume_remote_task() drops this_rq before unlinking a remote task from its DSQ and locking src_rq. When called from ops.dispatch(), scx_locked_rq() keeps pointing to this_rq across the lock dance. The subsequent switch_rq_lock(src_rq, this_rq) cannot update the tracking because its guard does not match, leaving the tracking stale while src_rq is held. Keep this_rq locked until the task has been unlinked and the DSQ lock released, then use switch_rq_lock() to switch directly to src_rq. Use the same helper to restore this_rq after losing the dequeue race. The successful path already switches back through move_remote_task_to_local_dsq(), so scx_locked_rq() now follows the actually held rq throughout the consume path.

check_kfunc_args() detects a kfunc argument named rdonly_buf_size or rdwr_buf_size and stores reg->var_off.value into meta->r0_size, a u64, and does not bound it. check_kfunc_call() later copies that value into the returned register's mem_size field: meta->r0_size = reg->var_off.value; ... regs[BPF_REG_0].mem_size = meta.r0_size; regs[BPF_REG_0].mem_size is u32. A constant whose upper 32 bits are set gets truncated instead of causing a load-time rejection, so the verifier records a PTR_TO_MEM register with an approximately 4 GiB mem_size for whatever allocation the kfunc returned.

2026-07-08bpf: Reject programs with inlined helpers if JIT is not availableTiezhu Yang1-1/+3
When an architecture (such as LoongArch, ARM64, and RISC-V) implements bpf_jit_inlines_helper_call(), the verifier skips rewriting the helper call offset (insn->imm) in bpf_do_misc_fixups(). This is because the helper is expected to be inlined by the JIT compiler later. Therefore, insn->imm remains as the raw helper enum ID. However, if JIT is disabled at runtime (net.core.bpf_jit_enable=0) or if JIT compilation fails dynamically (e.g., due to OOM), the program falls back to the BPF interpreter. When the interpreter executes (__bpf_call_base + insn->imm) with the unpatched raw ID, it jumps into an invalid address space, triggering an instruction alignment fault or a kernel panic. Although these helpers have valid C implementations in the kernel, the omission of offset rewriting makes runtime interpreter fallback fatal. Fix this by setting 'prog->jit_required = 1' when helper call rewriting is skipped for JIT inlining. This ensures that such programs are safely rejected if JIT is not available, preventing the runtime kernel panic.

bpf_get_btf_vmlinux() lazily parses the vmlinux BTF under the bpf_verifier_lock, but publishes the result through a plain store and re-checks it through a plain lockless load. Nothing orders the stores initializing the struct btf inside btf_parse_vmlinux() against the store publishing the pointer: On a weakly ordered arch, a concurrent first-time caller taking the lockless fast path could in principle observe the pointer before the parsed contents are visible. The mutex_unlock() does not help such a reader given it only synchronizes with a later acquisition of the same lock. Thus, publish the pointer with smp_store_release() and read it on the fast path with smp_load_acquire(). Acquire semantics are needed rather than a dependency-ordered READ_ONCE(): btf_parse_vmlinux() also populates globals outside the returned object (e.g. bpf_ctx_convert.t). An address dependency would only order accesses performed through the pointer and not cover other globals.

2026-07-08sched_ext: Enable tick for finite slices on nohz_fullAndrea Righi1-12/+35
set_next_task_scx() updates the tick dependency before __schedule() updates rq->curr. When switching from a non-EXT task, such as idle, to an EXT task with a finite slice, sched_update_tick_dependency() checks the outgoing task and can allow the tick to remain stopped. The dependency can also be lost without a slice-type transition. After a finite-slice task leaves the CPU idle, the enqueue path can clear the dependency against the idle rq->curr. SCX_RQ_CAN_STOP_TICK still records a finite slice, so another finite task skips the transition block and can run without the ticks needed to expire its slice. The reverse mismatch can also happen when the last finite-slice EXT task is dequeued: sub_nr_running() updates the dependency before rq->curr changes, so the outgoing task state can keep the dependency set after the CPU goes idle. Fix this by unconditionally enabling the scheduler tick whenever a finite-slice EXT task is selected on a nohz_full CPU. Moreover, when the last runnable EXT task leaves, ignore the outgoing EXT slice state so the generic scheduler can correctly re-evaluate and clear the tick dependency.

2026-07-08audit: fix potential integer overflow in audit_log_n_hex()Ricardo Robaina1-2/+9
The function calculates new_len as len << 1 for hex encoding. This has two overflow risks: the shift itself can overflow when len is large, and the result can be truncated when assigned to new_len (declared as int) from the size_t calculation. Fix by using check_shl_overflow() to catch shift overflow and changing new_len and loop counter i to size_t to prevent truncation.
