[ Upstream commit 2845989f2ebaf7848e4eccf9a779daf3156ea0a5 ]

arena_alloc_pages() accepts a plain int node_id and forwards it through
the entire allocation chain without any bounds checking.

Validate node_id before passing it down the allocation chain in
arena_alloc_pages().

[ Upstream commit b960430ea8862ef37ce53c8bf74a8dc79d3f2404 ]

bpf_bprintf_prepare() only needs ASCII parsing for conversion
specifiers. Plain text can safely carry bytes &gt;= 0x80, so allow
UTF-8 literals outside '%' sequences while keeping ASCII control
bytes rejected and format specifiers ASCII-only.

This keeps existing parsing rules for format directives unchanged,
while allowing helpers such as bpf_trace_printk() to emit UTF-8
literal text.

Update test_snprintf_negative() in the same commit so selftests keep
matching the new plain-text vs format-specifier split during bisection.

kptr") refactored map_kptr_match_type() to branch on btf_is_kernel()
before checking base_type(). A scalar register stored into a kptr
slot has no btf, so the btf_is_kernel(reg-&gt;btf) call dereferences
NULL.

Move the base_type() != PTR_TO_BTF_ID guard before any reg-&gt;btf

[ Upstream commit 576afddfee8d1108ee299bf10f581593540d1a36 ]

An out-of-bounds read occurs when copying element from a
BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE map to another pcpu map with the
same value_size that is not rounded up to 8 bytes.

The issue happens when:
1. A CGROUP_STORAGE map is created with value_size not aligned to
   8 bytes (e.g., 4 bytes)
2. A pcpu map is created with the same value_size (e.g., 4 bytes)
3. Update element in 2 with data in 1

pcpu_init_value assumes that all sources are rounded up to 8 bytes,
and invokes copy_map_value_long to make a data copy, However, the
assumption doesn't stand since there are some cases where the source
may not be rounded up to 8 bytes, e.g., CGROUP_STORAGE, skb-&gt;data.
the verifier verifies exactly the size that the source claims, not
the size rounded up to 8 bytes by kernel, an OOB happens when the
source has only 4 bytes while the copy size(4) is rounded up to 8.

<title>bpf: Enforce regsafe base id consistency for BPF_ADD_CONST scalars</title>

[ Upstream commit 2f2ec8e7730e21fc9bd49e0de9cdd58213ea24d0 ]

When regsafe() compares two scalar registers that both carry
BPF_ADD_CONST, check_scalar_ids() maps their full compound id
(aka base | BPF_ADD_CONST flag) as one idmap entry. However,
it never verifies that the underlying base ids, that is, with
the flag stripped are consistent with existing idmap mappings.

This allows construction of two verifier states where the old
state has R3 = R2 + 10 (both sharing base id A) while the current
state has R3 = R4 + 10 (base id C, unrelated to R2). The idmap
creates two independent entries: A-&gt;B (for R2) and A|flag-&gt;C|flag
(for R3), without catching that A-&gt;C conflicts with A-&gt;B. State
pruning then incorrectly succeeds.

Fix this by additionally verifying base ID mapping consistency
whenever BPF_ADD_CONST is set: after mapping the compound ids,
also invoke check_ids() on the base IDs (flag bits stripped).
This ensures that if A was already mapped to B from comparing
the source register, any ADD_CONST derivative must also derive
from B, not an unrelated C.

[ Upstream commit b0388bafa4949bd30af7b3be5ee415f2a25ac014 ]

Scalar register IDs are used by the verifier to track relationships
between registers and enable bounds propagation across those
relationships. Once an ID becomes singular (i.e. only a single
register/stack slot carries it), it can no longer contribute to bounds
propagation and effectively becomes stale. The previous commit makes the
verifier clear such ids before caching the state.

When comparing the current and cached states for pruning, these stale
IDs can cause technically equivalent states to be considered different
and thus prevent pruning.

For example, in the selftest added in the next commit, two registers -
r6 and r7 are not linked to any other registers and get cached with
id=0, in the current state, they are both linked to each other with
id=A.  Before this commit, check_scalar_ids would give temporary ids to
r6 and r7 (say tid1 and tid2) and then check_ids() would map tid1-&gt;A,
and when it would see tid2-&gt;A, it would not consider these state
equivalent.

Relax scalar ID equivalence by treating rold-&gt;id == 0 as "independent":
if the old state did not rely on any ID relationships for a register,
then any ID/linking present in the current state only adds constraints
and is always safe to accept for pruning. Implement this by returning
true immediately in check_scalar_ids() when old_id == 0.

Maintain correctness for the opposite direction (old_id != 0 &amp;&amp; cur_id
== 0) by still allocating a temporary ID for cur_id == 0. This avoids
incorrectly allowing multiple independent current registers (id==0) to
satisfy a single linked old ID during mapping.

[ Upstream commit 4406942e65ca128c56c67443832988873c21d2e9 ]

Add a missing cond_resched() in bpf_fd_array_map_clear() loop.

For PROG_ARRAY maps with many entries this loop calls
prog_array_map_poke_run() per entry which can be expensive, and
without yielding this can cause RCU stalls under load:

[ Upstream commit 4cbee026db54cad39c39db4d356100cb133412b3 ]

Holding the per-VMA lock across the BPF program body creates a lock
ordering problem when helpers acquire locks that depend on mmap_lock:

  vm_lock -&gt; i_rwsem -&gt; mmap_lock -&gt; vm_lock

Snapshot the VMA under the per-VMA lock in _next() via memcpy(), then
drop the lock before returning. The BPF program accesses only the
snapshot.

The verifier only trusts vm_mm and vm_file pointers (see
BTF_TYPE_SAFE_TRUSTED_OR_NULL in verifier.c). vm_file is reference-
counted with get_file() under the lock and released via fput() on the
next iteration or in _destroy(). vm_mm is already correct because
lock_vma_under_rcu() verifies vma-&gt;vm_mm == mm. All other pointers
are left as-is by memcpy() since the verifier treats them as untrusted.

<title>bpf: switch task_vma iterator from mmap_lock to per-VMA locks</title>

[ Upstream commit bee9ef4a40a277bf401be43d39ba7f7f063cf39c ]

The open-coded task_vma iterator holds mmap_lock for the entire duration
of iteration, increasing contention on this highly contended lock.

Switch to per-VMA locking. Find the next VMA via an RCU-protected maple
tree walk and lock it with lock_vma_under_rcu(). lock_next_vma() is not
used because its fallback takes mmap_read_lock(), and the iterator must
work in non-sleepable contexts.

lock_vma_under_rcu() is a point lookup (mas_walk) that finds the VMA
containing a given address but cannot iterate across gaps. An
RCU-protected vma_next() walk (mas_find) first locates the next VMA's
vm_start to pass to lock_vma_under_rcu().

Between the RCU walk and the lock, the VMA may be removed, shrunk, or
write-locked. On failure, advance past it using vm_end from the RCU
walk. Because the VMA slab is SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU, vm_end may be
stale; fall back to PAGE_SIZE advancement when it does not make forward
progress. Concurrent VMA insertions at addresses already passed by the
iterator are not detected.

CONFIG_PER_VMA_LOCK is required; return -EOPNOTSUPP without it.
