- Provide the missing 64-bit variant of clock_getres()
This allows the extension of CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME to the vDSO and
finally the removal of 32-bit time types from the kernel and UAPI.
- Remove the useless and broken getcpu_cache from the VDSO
The intention was to provide a trivial way to retrieve the CPU number from
the VDSO, but as the VDSO data is per process there is no way to make it
work.
- Switch get/put_unaligned() from packed struct to memcpy()
The packed struct violates strict aliasing rules which requires to pass
-fno-strict-aliasing to the compiler. As this are scalar values
__builtin_memcpy() turns them into simple loads and stores
- Use __typeof_unqual__() for __unqual_scalar_typeof()
The get/put_unaligned() changes triggered a new sparse warning when __beNN
types are used with get/put_unaligned() as sparse builds add a special
'bitwise' attribute to them which prevents sparse to evaluate the Generic
in __unqual_scalar_typeof().
Newer sparse versions support __typeof_unqual__() which avoids the problem,
but requires a recent sparse install. So this adds a sanity check to sparse
builds, which validates that sparse is available and capable of handling it.
- Force inline __cvdso_clock_getres_common()
Compilers sometimes un-inline agressively, which results in function call
overhead and problems with automatic stack variable initialization.
Interestingly enough the force inlining results in smaller code than the
un-inlined variant produced by GCC when optimizing for size.

- Add interrupt redirection infrastructure
Some PCI controllers use a single demultiplexing interrupt for the MSI
interrupts of subordinate devices.
This prevents setting the interrupt affinity of device interrupts, which
causes device interrupts to be delivered to a single CPU. That obviously is
counterproductive for multi-queue devices and interrupt balancing.
To work around this limitation the new infrastructure installs a dummy
irq_set_affinity() callback which captures the affinity mask and picks a
redirection target CPU out of the mask.
When the PCI controller demultiplexes the interrupts it invokes a new
handling function in the core, which either runs the interrupt handler in
the context of the target CPU or delegates it to irq_work on the target CPU.
- Utilize the interrupt redirection mechanism in the PCI DWC host controller
driver.
This allows affinity control for the subordinate device MSI interrupts
instead of being randomly executed on the CPU which runs the demultiplex
handler.
- Replace the binary 64-bit MSI flag with a DMA mask
Some PCI devices have PCI_MSI_FLAGS_64BIT in the MSI capability, but
implement less than 64 address bits. This breaks on platforms where such a
device is assigned an MSI address higher than what's supported.
With the binary 64-bit flag there is no other choice than disabling 64-bit
MSI support which leaves the device disfunctional.
By using a DMA mask the address limit of a device can be described
correctly which provides support for the above scenario.
- Make use of the DMA mask based address limit in the hda/intel and radeon
drivers to enable them on affected platforms.

Scheduler Kconfig space updates:
- Further consolidate configurable preemption modes: reduce
the number of architectures that are allowed to offer
PREEMPT_NONE and PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, reducing the number
of preemption models from four to just two: 'full' and 'lazy'
on up-to-date architectures (arm64, loongarch, powerpc,
riscv, s390, x86).
None and voluntary are only available as legacy features
on platforms that don't implement lazy preemption yet,
or which don't even support preemption.
The goal is to eventually remove cond_resched() and
voluntary preemption altogether.

Lock debugging:
- Implement compiler-driven static analysis locking context
checking, using the upcoming Clang 22 compiler's context
analysis features. (Marco Elver)
We removed Sparse context analysis support, because prior to
removal even a defconfig kernel produced 1,700+ context
tracking Sparse warnings, the overwhelming majority of which
are false positives. On an allmodconfig kernel the number of
false positive context tracking Sparse warnings grows to
over 5,200... On the plus side of the balance actual locking
bugs found by Sparse context analysis is also rather ... sparse:
I found only 3 such commits in the last 3 years. So the
rate of false positives and the maintenance overhead is
rather high and there appears to be no active policy in
place to achieve a zero-warnings baseline to move the
annotations & fixers to developers who introduce new code.
Clang context analysis is more complete and more aggressive
in trying to find bugs, at least in principle. Plus it has
a different model to enabling it: it's enabled subsystem by
subsystem, which results in zero warnings on all relevant
kernel builds (as far as our testing managed to cover it).
Which allowed us to enable it by default, similar to other
compiler warnings, with the expectation that there are no
warnings going forward. This enforces a zero-warnings baseline
on clang-22+ builds. (Which are still limited in distribution,
admittedly.)
Hopefully the Clang approach can lead to a more maintainable
zero-warnings status quo and policy, with more and more
subsystems and drivers enabling the feature. Context tracking
can be enabled for all kernel code via WARN_CONTEXT_ANALYSIS_ALL=y
(default disabled), but this will generate a lot of false positives.
( Having said that, Sparse support could still be added back,
if anyone is interested - the removal patch is still
relatively straightforward to revert at this stage. )
Rust integration updates: (Alice Ryhl, Fujita Tomonori, Boqun Feng)
- Add support for Atomic<i8/i16/bool> and replace most Rust native
AtomicBool usages with Atomic<bool>
- Clean up LockClassKey and improve its documentation
- Add missing Send and Sync trait implementation for SetOnce
- Make ARef Unpin as it is supposed to be
- Add __rust_helper to a few Rust helpers as a preparation for
helper LTO
- Inline various lock related functions to avoid additional
function calls.

x86 PMU driver updates:
- Add support for the core PMU for Intel Diamond Rapids (DMR) CPUs.
Compared to previous iterations of the Intel PMU code, there's
been a lot of changes, which center around three main areas:
- Introduce the OFF-MODULE RESPONSE (OMR) facility to
replace the Off-Core Response (OCR) facility
- New PEBS data source encoding layout
- Support the new "RDPMC user disable" feature
(Dapeng Mi)
- Likewise, a large series adds uncore PMU support for
Intel Diamond Rapids (DMR) CPUs, which center around these
four main areas:
- DMR may have two Integrated I/O and Memory Hub (IMH) dies,
separate from the compute tile (CBB) dies. Each CBB and
each IMH die has its own discovery domain.
- Unlike prior CPUs that retrieve the global discovery table
portal exclusively via PCI or MSR, DMR uses PCI for IMH PMON
discovery and MSR for CBB PMON discovery.
- DMR introduces several new PMON types: SCA, HAMVF, D2D_ULA,
UBR, PCIE4, CRS, CPC, ITC, OTC, CMS, and PCIE6.
- IIO free-running counters in DMR are MMIO-based, unlike SPR.
(Zide Chen)
- Also add support for Add missing PMON units for Intel Panther Lake,
and support Nova Lake (NVL), which largely maps to Panther Lake.
(Zide Chen)
- KVM integration: Add support for mediated vPMUs (by Kan Liang
and Sean Christopherson, with fixes and cleanups by Peter Zijlstra,
Sandipan Das and Mingwei Zhang)
- Add Intel cstate driver to support for Wildcat Lake (WCL)
CPUs, which are a low-power variant of Panther Lake.
(Zide Chen)
- Add core, cstate and MSR PMU support for the Airmont NP Intel CPU
(aka MaxLinear Lightning Mountain), which maps to the existing
Airmont code. (Martin Schiller)
Performance enhancements:
- core: Speed up kexec shutdown by avoiding unnecessary
cross CPU calls. (Jan H. Schönherr)
- core: Fix slow perf_event_task_exit() with LBR callstacks
(Namhyung Kim)
User-space stack unwinding support:
- Various cleanups and refactorings in preparation to generalize
the unwinding code for other architectures. (Jens Remus)

Module signing:
- Remove SHA-1 support for signing modules. SHA-1 is no longer
considered secure for signatures due to vulnerabilities that can
lead to hash collisions. None of the major distributions use
SHA-1 anymore, and the kernel has defaulted to SHA-512 since
v6.11. Note that loading SHA-1 signed modules is still supported.
- Update scripts/sign-file to use only the OpenSSL CMS API for
signing. As SHA-1 support is gone, we can drop the legacy PKCS#7
API which was limited to SHA-1. This also cleans up support for
legacy OpenSSL versions.
Cleanups and fixes:
- Use system_dfl_wq instead of the per-cpu system_wq following the
ongoing workqueue API refactoring.
- Avoid open-coded kvrealloc() in module decompression logic by
using the standard helper.
- Improve section annotations by replacing the custom __modinit
with __init_or_module and removing several unused __INIT*_OR_MODULE
macros.
- Fix kernel-doc warnings in include/linux/moduleparam.h.
- Ensure set_module_sig_enforced is only declared when module
signing is enabled.
- Fix gendwarfksyms build failures on 32-bit hosts.
MAINTAINERS:
- Update the module subsystem entry to reflect the maintainer
rotation and update the git repository link.
The changes have been soaking in linux-next since -rc2.
Note that like Daniel mentioned in the previous pull request [1], we
rotate maintainership every 6 months, and I will be handling the module
subsystem pull requests for the first half of this year.

affinity of unbound kthreads (node or custom cpumask) against
housekeeping (CPU isolation) constraints and CPU hotplug events.
One crucial missing piece is the handling of cpuset: when an isolated
partition is created, deleted, or its CPUs updated, all the unbound
kthreads in the top cpuset become indifferently affine to _all_ the
non-isolated CPUs, possibly breaking their preferred affinity along
the way.
Solve this with performing the kthreads affinity update from cpuset to
the kthreads consolidated relevant code instead so that preferred
affinities are honoured and applied against the updated cpuset isolated
partitions.
The dispatch of the new isolated cpumasks to timers, workqueues and
kthreads is performed by housekeeping, as per the nice Tejun's
suggestion.
As a welcome side effect, HK_TYPE_DOMAIN then integrates both the set
from boot defined domain isolation (through isolcpus=) and cpuset
isolated partitions. Housekeeping cpumasks are now modifiable with a
specific RCU based synchronization. A big step toward making nohz_full=
also mutable through cpuset in the future.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"By the number of commits, cpufreq is the leading party (again) and the
most visible change there is the removal of the omap-cpufreq driver
that has not been used for a long time (good riddance). There are also
quite a few changes in the cppc_cpufreq driver, mostly related to
fixing its frequency invariance engine in the case when the CPPC
registers used by it are not in PCC. In addition to that, support for
AM62L3 is added to the ti-cpufreq driver and the cpufreq-dt-platdev
list is updated for some platforms. The remaining cpufreq changes are
assorted fixes and cleanups.
Next up is cpuidle and the changes there are dominated by intel_idle
driver updates, mostly related to the new command line facility
allowing users to adjust the list of C-states used by the driver.
There are also a few updates of cpuidle governors, including two menu
governor fixes and some refinements of the teo governor, and a
MAINTAINERS update adding Christian Loehle as a cpuidle reviewer.
[Thanks for stepping up Christian!]
The most significant update related to system suspend and hibernation
is the one to stop freezing the PM runtime workqueue during system PM
transitions which allows some deadlocks to be avoided. There is also a
fix for possible concurrent bit field updates in the core device
suspend code and a few other minor fixes.
Apart from the above, several drivers are updated to discard the
return value of pm_runtime_put() which is going to be converted to a
void function as soon as everybody stops using its return value, PL4
support for Ice Lake is added to the Intel RAPL power capping driver,
and there are assorted cleanups, documentation fixes, and some
cpupower utility improvements.

Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This one is significantly larger than previous ACPI support pull
requests because several significant updates have coincided in it.
First, there is a routine ACPICA code update, to upstream version
20251212, but this time it covers new ACPI 6.6 material that has not
been covered yet. Among other things, it includes definitions of a few
new ACPI tables and updates of some others, like the GICv5 MADT
structures and ARM IORT IWB node definitions that are used for adding
GICv5 ACPI probing on ARM (that technically is IRQ subsystem material,
but it depends on the ACPICA changes, so it is included here). The
latter alone adds a few hundred lines of new code.
Second, there is an update of ACPI _OSC handling including a fix that
prevents failures from occurring in some corner cases due to careless
handling of _OSC error bits.
On top of that, the "system resource" ACPI device objects with the
PNP0C01 and PNP0C02 are now going to be handled by the ACPI core
device enumeration code instead of handing them over to the legacy PNP
system driver which causes device enumeration issues to occur. Some of
those issues have been worked around in device drivers and elsewhere
and those workarounds should not be necessary any more, so they are
going away.
Moreover, the time has come to convert all "core ACPI" device drivers
that were still using struct acpi_driver objects for device binding
into proper platform drivers that use struct platform_driver for this
purpose. These updates are accompanied by some requisite core ACPI
device enumeration code changes.
Next, there are ACPI APEI updates, including changes to avoid excess
overhead in the NMI handler and in SEA on the ARM side, changes to
unify ACPI-based HW error tracing and logging, and changes to prevent
APEI code from reaching out of its allocated memory.
There are also some ACPI power management updates, mostly related to
the ACPI cpuidle support in the processor driver, suspend-to-idle
handling on systems with ACPI support and to ACPI PM of devices.
In addition to the above, bugs are fixed and the code is cleaned up in
assorted places all over.
Specifics:
- Update the ACPICA code in the kernel to upstream version 20251212
which includes the following changes:
* Add support for new ACPI table DTPR (Michal Camacho Romero)

Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:
- Support for batch request processing for ublk, improving the
efficiency of the kernel/ublk server communication. This can yield
nice 7-12% performance improvements
- Support for integrity data for ublk
- Various other ublk improvements and additions, including a ton of
selftests additions and updated
- Move the handling of blk-crypto software fallback from below the
block layer to above it. This reduces the complexity of dealing with
bio splitting

completions being punted to task_work, to guarantee that completions
were only run for a given io_uring ring when it was local to that
ring. With the new changes, we can detect if it's necessary to use
task_work or not, and avoid it if possible.

Pull io_uring bpf filters from Jens Axboe:
"This adds support for both cBPF filters for io_uring, as well as task
inherited restrictions and filters.
seccomp and io_uring don't play along nicely, as most of the
interesting data to filter on resides somewhat out-of-band, in the
submission queue ring.
As a result, things like containers and systemd that apply seccomp
filters, can't filter io_uring operations.
That leaves them with just one choice if filtering is critical -
filter the actual io_uring_setup(2) system call to simply disallow
io_uring. That's rather unfortunate, and has limited us because of it.
io_uring already has some filtering support. It requires the ring to
be setup in a disabled state, and then a filter set can be applied.
This filter set is completely bi-modal - an opcode is either enabled
or it's not. Once a filter set is registered, the ring can be enabled.
This is very restrictive, and it's not useful at all to systemd or
containers which really want both broader and more specific control.
This first adds support for cBPF filters for opcodes, which enables
tighter control over what exactly a specific opcode may do. As
examples, specific support is added for IORING_OP_OPENAT/OPENAT2,
allowing filtering on resolve flags. And another example is added for
IORING_OP_SOCKET, allowing filtering on domain/type/protocol. These
are both common use cases. cBPF was chosen rather than eBPF, because
the latter is often restricted in containers as well.
These filters are run post the init phase of the request, which allows
filters to even dip into data that is being passed in struct in user
memory, as the init side of requests make that data stable by bringing
it into the kernel. This allows filtering without needing to copy this
data twice, or have filters etc know about the exact layout of the
user data. The filters get the already copied and sanitized data
passed.
On top of that support is added for per-task filters, meaning that any
ring created with a task that has a per-task filter will get those
filters applied when it's created. These filters are inherited across
fork as well. Once a filter has been registered, any further added
filters may only further restrict what operations are permitted.
Filters cannot change the return value of an operation, they can only
permit or deny it based on the contents"

Merge tag 'vfs-7.0-rc1.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains a mix of VFS cleanups, performance improvements, API
fixes, documentation, and a deprecation notice.
Scalability and performance:
- Rework pid allocation to only take pidmap_lock once instead of
twice during alloc_pid(), improving thread creation/teardown
throughput by 10-16% depending on false-sharing luck. Pad the
namespace refcount to reduce false-sharing
- Track file lock presence via a flag in ->i_opflags instead of
reading ->i_flctx, avoiding false-sharing with ->i_readcount on
open/close hot paths. Measured 4-16% improvement on 24-core
open-in-a-loop benchmarks
- Use a consume fence in locks_inode_context() to match the
store-release/load-consume idiom, eliminating a hardware fence on
some architectures
- Annotate cdev_lock with __cacheline_aligned_in_smp to prevent
false-sharing
- Remove a redundant DCACHE_MANAGED_DENTRY check in
__follow_mount_rcu() that never fires since the caller already
verifies it, eliminating a 100% mispredicted branch
- Fix a 100% mispredicted likely() in devcgroup_inode_permission()
that became wrong after a prior code reorder
Bug fixes and correctness:
- Make insert_inode_locked() wait for inode destruction instead of
skipping, fixing a corner case where two matching inodes could
exist in the hash
- Move f_mode initialization before file_ref_init() in alloc_file()
to respect the SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU ordering contract
- Add a WARN_ON_ONCE guard in try_to_free_buffers() for folios with
no buffers attached, preventing a null pointer dereference when
AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS is set but no release_folio op exists
- Fix select restart_block to store end_time as timespec64, avoiding
truncation of tv_sec on 32-bit architectures
- Make dump_inode() use get_kernel_nofault() to safely access inode
and superblock fields, matching the dump_mapping() pattern
API modernization:
- Make posix_acl_to_xattr() allocate the buffer internally since
every single caller was doing it anyway. Reduces boilerplate and
unnecessary error checking across ~15 filesystems
- Replace deprecated simple_strtoul() with kstrtoul() for the
ihash_entries, dhash_entries, mhash_entries, and mphash_entries
boot parameters, adding proper error handling
- Convert chardev code to use guard(mutex) and __free(kfree) cleanup
patterns
- Replace min_t() with min() or umin() in VFS code to avoid silently
truncating unsigned long to unsigned int
- Gate LOOKUP_RCU assertions behind CONFIG_DEBUG_VFS since callers
already check the flag
Deprecation:
- Begin deprecating legacy BSD process accounting (acct(2)). The
interface has numerous footguns and better alternatives exist
(eBPF)
Documentation:
- Fix and complete kernel-doc for struct export_operations, removing
duplicated documentation between ReST and source
- Fix kernel-doc warnings for __start_dirop() and ilookup5_nowait()
Testing:
- Add a kunit test for initramfs cpio handling of entries with
filesize > PATH_MAX
Misc:
- Add missing <linux/init_task.h> include in fs_struct.c"

Add source and destination ports to the NETFILTER_PKT audit records
while also consolidating a lot of the code into a new, singular

overhead when audit is not built into the kernel.
- Update the audit syscall classifier code
Add the listxattrat(), getxattrat(), and fchmodat2() syscall to the
audit code which classifies syscalls into categories of operations,
e.g. "read" or "change attributes".
- Move the syscall classifier declarations into audit_arch.h
Shuffle around some header file declarations to resolve some sparse
warnings.

Re-implement RCU tasks trace in term of SRCU-fast, not only more than 500 lines

rcu_read_{,un}lock_tasks_trace(), becomes possible as well. Compared to the
previous rcu_read_{,un}lock_trace(), the new API avoid the task_struct accesses
thanks to the SRCU-fast semantics. As a result, the old
rcu_read{,un}lock_trace() API is now deprecated.
RCU Torture Test:
- Multiple improvements on kvm-series.sh (parallel run and progress showing

- Use suitable gfp_flags for the init_srcu_struct_nodes().
- Fix rcu_read_unlock() deadloop due to softirq.

Take care of rqspinlock error in bpf_local_storage_{map_free, destroy}()
properly by switching to bpf_selem_unlink_nofail().
Both functions iterate their own RCU-protected list of selems and call
bpf_selem_unlink_nofail(). In map_free(), to prevent infinite loop when
both map_free() and destroy() fail to remove a selem from b->list
(extremely unlikely), switch to hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(). In destroy(),
also switch to hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() since we no longer iterate
local_storage->list under local_storage->lock.
bpf_selem_unlink() now becomes dedicated to helpers and syscalls paths
so reuse_now should always be false. Remove it from the argument and
hardcode it.

Introduce bpf_selem_unlink_nofail() to properly handle errors returned
from rqspinlock in bpf_local_storage_map_free() and
bpf_local_storage_destroy() where the operation must succeeds.
The idea of bpf_selem_unlink_nofail() is to allow an selem to be
partially linked and use atomic operation on a bit field, selem->state,
to determine when and who can free the selem if any unlink under lock
fails. An selem initially is fully linked to a map and a local storage.
Under normal circumstances, bpf_selem_unlink_nofail() will be able to
grab locks and unlink a selem from map and local storage in sequeunce,
just like bpf_selem_unlink(), and then free it after an RCU grace period.
However, if any of the lock attempts fails, it will only clear
SDATA(selem)->smap or selem->local_storage depending on the caller and
set SELEM_MAP_UNLINKED or SELEM_STORAGE_UNLINKED according to the
caller. Then, after both map_free() and destroy() see the selem and the
state becomes SELEM_UNLINKED, one of two racing caller can succeed in
cmpxchg the state from SELEM_UNLINKED to SELEM_TOFREE, ensuring no
double free or memory leak.
To make sure bpf_obj_free_fields() is done only once and when map is
still present, it is called when unlinking an selem from b->list under
b->lock.
To make sure uncharging memory is done only when the owner is still
present in map_free(), block destroy() from returning until there is no
pending map_free().
Since smap may not be valid in destroy(), bpf_selem_unlink_nofail()
skips bpf_selem_unlink_storage_nolock_misc() when called from destroy().
This is okay as bpf_local_storage_destroy() will return the remaining
amount of memory charge tracked by mem_charge to the owner to uncharge.
It is also safe to skip clearing local_storage->owner and owner_storage
as the owner is being freed and no users or bpf programs should be able
to reference the owner and using local_storage.
Finally, access of selem, SDATA(selem)->smap and selem->local_storage
are racy. Callers will protect these fields with RCU.

The next patch will introduce bpf_selem_unlink_nofail() to handle
rqspinlock errors. bpf_selem_unlink_nofail() will allow an selem to be
partially unlinked from map or local storage. Save memory allocation
method in selem so that later an selem can be correctly freed even when
SDATA(selem)->smap is init to NULL.
In addition, keep track of memory charge to the owner in local storage
so that later bpf_selem_unlink_nofail() can return the correct memory
charge to the owner. Updating local_storage->mem_charge is protected by
local_storage->lock.
Finally, extract miscellaneous tasks performed when unlinking an selem
from local_storage into bpf_selem_unlink_storage_nolock_misc(). It will
be reused by bpf_selem_unlink_nofail().
This patch also takes the chance to remove local_storage->smap, which
is no longer used since commit f484f4a3e0 ("bpf: Replace bpf memory

To prepare for changing bpf_local_storage_map_bucket::lock to rqspinlock,
convert bpf_selem_unlink_map() to failable. It still always succeeds and
returns 0 for now.
Since some operations updating local storage cannot fail in the middle,
open-code bpf_selem_unlink_map() to take the b->lock before the
operation. There are two such locations:
- bpf_local_storage_alloc()
The first selem will be unlinked from smap if cmpxchg owner_storage_ptr
fails, which should not fail. Therefore, hold b->lock when linking
until allocation complete. Helpers that assume b->lock is held by
callers are introduced: bpf_selem_link_map_nolock() and
bpf_selem_unlink_map_nolock().
- bpf_local_storage_update()
The three step update process: link_map(new_selem),
link_storage(new_selem), and unlink_map(old_selem) should not fail in
the middle.
In bpf_selem_unlink(), bpf_selem_unlink_map() and
bpf_selem_unlink_storage() should either all succeed or fail as a whole
instead of failing in the middle. So, return if unlink_map() failed.
Remove the selem_linked_to_map_lockless() check as an selem in the
common paths (not bpf_local_storage_map_free() or
bpf_local_storage_destroy()), will be unlinked under b->lock and
local_storage->lock and therefore no other threads can unlink the selem
from map at the same time.
In bpf_local_storage_destroy(), ignore the return of
bpf_selem_unlink_map() for now. A later patch will allow
bpf_local_storage_destroy() to unlink selems even when failing to
acquire locks.
Note that while this patch removes all callers of selem_linked_to_map(),
a later patch that introduces bpf_selem_unlink_nofail() will use it
again.

A later bpf_local_storage refactor will acquire all locks before
performing any update. To simplified the number of locks needed to take
in bpf_local_storage_map_update(), determine the bucket based on the
local_storage an selem belongs to instead of the selem pointer.
Currently, when a new selem needs to be created to replace the old selem
in bpf_local_storage_map_update(), locks of both buckets need to be
acquired to prevent racing. This can be simplified if the two selem
belongs to the same bucket so that only one bucket needs to be locked.
Therefore, instead of hashing selem, hashing the local_storage pointer
the selem belongs.
Performance wise, this is slightly better as update now requires locking
one bucket. It should not change the level of contention on one bucket
as the pointers to local storages of selems in a map are just as unique
as pointers to selems.

- Fix event format field alignments for 32 bit architectures
The fields in the event format files are used to parse the raw binary
buffer data by applications. If they are incorrect, then the application
produces garbage.
On 32 bit architectures, the function graph 64bit calltime and rettime
were off by 4bytes. That's because the actual fields are in a packed
structure but the macros used by the ftrace events did not mark them as
packed, and instead, gave them their natural alignment which made their
offsets off by 4 bytes.
There are macros to have a packed field within an embedded structure of
an event, but there's no macro for normal fields within a packed
structure of the event. The macro __field_packed() was used for the
packed embedded structure field. Rename that to __field_desc_pcaked() (to
match the non-packed embedded field macro __field_desc()), and make
__field_packed() for fields that are in a packed event structure (which
matches the unpacked __field() macro).
Switch the calltime and rettime fields of the function graph event to use
the new __field_packed() and this makes the offsets correct.

Currently, bpf_map_get_info_by_fd calculates and caches the hash of the
map regardless of the map's frozen state.
This leads to a TOCTOU bug where userspace can call
BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD to cache the hash and then modify the map
contents before freezing.
Therefore, a trusted loader can be tricked into verifying the stale hash
while loading the modified contents.
Fix this by returning -EPERM if the map is not frozen when the hash is
requested. This ensures the hash is only generated for the final,
immutable state of the map.

The linker script scripts/module.lds.S specifies that all input
__klp_objects sections should be consolidated into an output section of
the same name, and start/stop symbols should be created to enable
scripts/livepatch/init.c to locate this data.
This start/stop pattern is not ideal for modules because the symbols are
created even if no __klp_objects input sections are present.
Consequently, a dummy __klp_objects section also appears in the
resulting module. This unnecessarily pollutes non-livepatch modules.
Instead, since modules are relocatable files, the usual method for
locating consolidated data in a module is to read its section table.
This approach avoids the aforementioned problem.
The klp_modinfo already stores a copy of the entire section table with
the final addresses. Introduce a helper function that
scripts/livepatch/init.c can call to obtain the location of the
__klp_objects section from this data.

The fields of ftrace specific events (events used to save ftrace internal
events like function traces and trace_printk) are generated similarly to
how normal trace event fields are generated. That is, the fields are added
to a trace_events_fields array that saves the name, offset, size,
alignment and signness of the field. It is used to produce the output in
the format file in tracefs so that tooling knows how to parse the binary
data of the trace events.
The issue is that some of the ftrace event structures are packed. The
function graph exit event structures are one of them. The 64 bit calltime
and rettime fields end up 4 byte aligned, but the algorithm to show to
userspace shows them as 8 byte aligned.
The macros that create the ftrace events has one for embedded structure
fields. There's two macros for theses fields:
__field_desc() and __field_packed()
The difference of the latter macro is that it treats the field as packed.
Rename that field to __field_desc_packed() and create replace the
__field_packed() to be a normal field that is packed and have the calltime
and rettime use those.
This showed up on 32bit architectures for function graph time fields. It
had:
~# cat /sys/kernel/tracing/events/ftrace/funcgraph_exit/format
[..]
field:unsigned long func; offset:8; size:4; signed:0;
field:unsigned int depth; offset:12; size:4; signed:0;
field:unsigned int overrun; offset:16; size:4; signed:0;
field:unsigned long long calltime; offset:24; size:8; signed:0;
field:unsigned long long rettime; offset:32; size:8; signed:0;
Notice that overrun is at offset 16 with size 4, where in the structure
calltime is at offset 20 (16 + 4), but it shows the offset at 24. That's
because it used the alignment of unsigned long long when used as a
declaration and not as a member of a structure where it would be aligned
by word size (in this case 4).
By using the proper structure alignment, the format has it at the correct
offset:
~# cat /sys/kernel/tracing/events/ftrace/funcgraph_exit/format
[..]
field:unsigned long func; offset:8; size:4; signed:0;
field:unsigned int depth; offset:12; size:4; signed:0;

When freeing a bpf_async_cb in bpf_async_cb_rcu_tasks_trace_free(), in
case the wq callback is not scheduled, doing cancel_work() currently
returns false and leads to retry of RCU tasks trace grace period. If the
callback is never scheduled, we keep retrying indefinitely and don't put
the prog reference.
Since the only race we care about here is against a potentially running
wq callback in the first grace period, it should finish by the second
grace period, hence check work_busy() result to detect presence of
running wq callback if it's not pending, otherwise free the object
immediately without retrying.
Reasoning behind the check and its correctness with racing wq callback
invocation: cancel_work is supposed to be synchronized, hence calling it
first and getting false would mean that work is definitely not pending,
at this point, either the work is not scheduled at all or already
running, or we race and it already finished by the time we checked for
it using work_busy(). In case it is running, we synchronize using
pool->lock to check the current work running there, if we match, it
means we extend the wait by another grace period using retry = true,
otherwise either the work already finished running or was never
scheduled, so we can free the bpf_async_cb right away.

sched_ext: Short-circuit sched_class operations on dead tasks
7900aa699c ("sched_ext: Fix cgroup exit ordering by moving sched_ext_free()
to finish_task_switch()") moved sched_ext_free() to finish_task_switch() and
renamed it to sched_ext_dead() to fix cgroup exit ordering issues. However,
this created a race window where certain sched_class ops may be invoked on
dead tasks leading to failures - e.g. sched_setscheduler() may try to switch a
task which finished sched_ext_dead() back into SCX triggering invalid SCX task
state transitions.
Add task_dead_and_done() which tests whether a task is TASK_DEAD and has
completed its final context switch, and use it to short-circuit sched_class
operations which may be called on dead tasks.

Previously, the verifier only tracked positive constant deltas between
linked registers using BPF_ADD. This limitation meant patterns like:
r1 = r0;
r1 += -4;
if r1 s>= 0 goto l0_%=; // r1 >= 0 implies r0 >= 4
// verifier couldn't propagate bounds back to r0
if r0 != 0 goto l0_%=;
r0 /= 0; // Verifier thinks this is reachable
l0_%=:
Similar limitation exists for 32-bit registers.
With this change, the verifier can now track negative deltas in reg->off
enabling bound propagation for the above pattern.
For alu32, we make sure the destination register has the upper 32 bits
as 0s before creating the link. BPF_ADD_CONST is split into
BPF_ADD_CONST64 and BPF_ADD_CONST32, the latter is used in case of alu32
and sync_linked_regs uses this to zext the result if known_reg has this
flag.

This patch implements bitwise tracking (tnum analysis) for BPF_END
(byte swap) operation.
Currently, the BPF verifier does not track value for BPF_END operation,
treating the result as completely unknown. This limits the verifier's
ability to prove safety of programs that perform endianness conversions,
which are common in networking code.
For example, the following code pattern for port number validation:
int test(struct pt_regs *ctx) {
__u64 x = bpf_get_prandom_u32();
x &= 0x3f00; // Range: [0, 0x3f00], var_off: (0x0; 0x3f00)
x = bswap16(x); // Should swap to range [0, 0x3f], var_off: (0x0; 0x3f)
if (x > 0x3f) goto trap;
return 0;
trap:
return *(u64 *)NULL; // Should be unreachable
}
Currently generates verifier output:
1: (54) w0 &= 16128 ; R0=scalar(smin=smin32=0,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=16128,var_off=(0x0; 0x3f00))
2: (d7) r0 = bswap16 r0 ; R0=scalar()
3: (25) if r0 > 0x3f goto pc+2 ; R0=scalar(smin=smin32=0,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=63,var_off=(0x0; 0x3f))
Without this patch, even though the verifier knows `x` has certain bits
set, after bswap16, it loses all tracking information and treats port
as having a completely unknown value [0, 65535].
According to the BPF instruction set[1], there are 3 kinds of BPF_END:
1. `bswap(16|32|64)`: opcode=0xd7 (BPF_END | BPF_ALU64 | BPF_TO_LE)
- do unconditional swap
2. `le(16|32|64)`: opcode=0xd4 (BPF_END | BPF_ALU | BPF_TO_LE)
- on big-endian: do swap
- on little-endian: truncation (16/32-bit) or no-op (64-bit)
3. `be(16|32|64)`: opcode=0xdc (BPF_END | BPF_ALU | BPF_TO_BE)
- on little-endian: do swap
- on big-endian: truncation (16/32-bit) or no-op (64-bit)
Since BPF_END operations are inherently bit-wise permutations, tnum
(bitwise tracking) offers the most efficient and precise mechanism
for value analysis. By implementing `tnum_bswap16`, `tnum_bswap32`,
and `tnum_bswap64`, we can derive exact `var_off` values concisely,
directly reflecting the bit-level changes.
Here is the overview of changes:
1. In `tnum_bswap(16|32|64)` (kernel/bpf/tnum.c):
Call `swab(16|32|64)` function on the value and mask of `var_off`, and
do truncation for 16/32-bit cases.
2. In `adjust_scalar_min_max_vals` (kernel/bpf/verifier.c):
Call helper function `scalar_byte_swap`.
- Only do byte swap when
* alu64 (unconditional swap) OR
* switching between big-endian and little-endian machines.
- If need do byte swap:
* Firstly call `tnum_bswap(16|32|64)` to update `var_off`.
* Then reset the bound since byte swap scrambles the range.
- For 16/32-bit cases, truncate dst register to match the swapped size.
This enables better verification of networking code that frequently uses
byte swaps for protocol processing, reducing false positive rejections.
