9 daysptrace: slightly saner 'get_dumpable()' logicLinus Torvalds
commit 31e62c2ebbfdc3fe3dbdf5e02c92a9dc67087a3a upstream. The 'dumpability' of a task is fundamentally about the memory image of the task - the concept comes from whether it can core dump or not - and makes no sense when you don't have an associated mm. And almost all users do in fact use it only for the case where the task has a mm pointer. But we have one odd special case: ptrace_may_access() uses 'dumpable' to check various other things entirely independently of the MM (typically explicitly using flags like PTRACE_MODE_READ_FSCREDS). Including for threads that no longer have a VM (and maybe never did, like most kernel threads). It's not what this flag was designed for, but it is what it is. The ptrace code does check that the uid/gid matches, so you do have to be uid-0 to see kernel thread details, but this means that the traditional "drop capabilities" model doesn't make any difference for this all. Make it all make a *bit* more sense by saying that if you don't have a MM pointer, we'll use a cached "last dumpability" flag if the thread ever had a MM (it will be zero for kernel threads since it is never set), and require a proper CAP_SYS_PTRACE capability to override.

2026-04-18bpf: Release module BTF IDR before module unloadKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi
[ Upstream commit 146bd2a87a65aa407bb17fac70d8d583d19aba06 ] Gregory reported in [0] that the global_map_resize test when run in repeatedly ends up failing during program load. This stems from the fact that BTF reference has not dropped to zero after the previous run's module is unloaded, and the older module's BTF is still discoverable and visible. Later, in libbpf, load_module_btfs() will find the ID for this stale BTF, open its fd, and then it will be used during program load where later steps taking module reference using btf_try_get_module() fail since the underlying module for the BTF is gone. Logically, once a module is unloaded, it's associated BTF artifacts should become hidden. The BTF object inside the kernel may still remain alive as long its reference counts are alive, but it should no longer be discoverable. To fix this, let us call btf_free_id() from the MODULE_STATE_GOING case for the module unload to free the BTF associated IDR entry, and disable its discovery once module unload returns to user space. If a race happens during unload, the outcome is non-deterministic anyway. However, user space should be able to rely on the guarantee that once it has synchronously established a successful module unload, no more stale artifacts associated with this module can be obtained subsequently. Note that we must be careful to not invoke btf_free_id() in btf_put() when btf_is_module() is true now. There could be a window where the module unload drops a non-terminal reference, frees the IDR, but the same ID gets reused and the second unconditional btf_free_id() ends up releasing an unrelated entry. To avoid a special case for btf_is_module() case, set btf->id to zero to make btf_free_id() idempotent, such that we can unconditionally invoke it from btf_put(), and also from the MODULE_STATE_GOING case. Since zero is an invalid IDR, the idr_remove() should be a noop. Note that we can be sure that by the time we reach final btf_put() for btf_is_module() case, the btf_free_id() is already done, since the module itself holds the BTF reference, and it will call this function for the BTF before dropping its own reference.

2026-04-18sched: idle: Consolidate the handling of two special casesRafael J. Wysocki
[ Upstream commit f4c31b07b136839e0fb3026f8a5b6543e3b14d2f ] There are two special cases in the idle loop that are handled inconsistently even though they are analogous. The first one is when a cpuidle driver is absent and the default CPU idle time power management implemented by the architecture code is used. In that case, the scheduler tick is stopped every time before invoking default_idle_call(). The second one is when a cpuidle driver is present, but there is only one idle state in its table. In that case, the scheduler tick is never stopped at all. Since each of these approaches has its drawbacks, reconcile them with the help of one simple heuristic. Namely, stop the tick if the CPU has been woken up by it in the previous iteration of the idle loop, or let it tick otherwise. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2026-04-18bpf: Forget ranges when refining tnum after JSETPaul Chaignon
commit 6279846b9b2532e1b04559ef8bd0dec049f29383 upstream. Syzbot reported a kernel warning due to a range invariant violation on the following BPF program. 0: call bpf_get_netns_cookie 1: if r0 == 0 goto <exit> 2: if r0 & Oxffffffff goto <exit> The issue is on the path where we fall through both jumps. That path is unreachable at runtime: after insn 1, we know r0 != 0, but with the sign extension on the jset, we would only fallthrough insn 2 if r0 == 0. Unfortunately, is_branch_taken() isn't currently able to figure this out, so the verifier walks all branches. The verifier then refines the register bounds using the second condition and we end up with inconsistent bounds on this unreachable path: 1: if r0 == 0 goto <exit> r0: u64=[0x1, 0xffffffffffffffff] var_off=(0, 0xffffffffffffffff) 2: if r0 & 0xffffffff goto <exit> r0 before reg_bounds_sync: u64=[0x1, 0xffffffffffffffff] var_off=(0, 0) r0 after reg_bounds_sync: u64=[0x1, 0] var_off=(0, 0) Improving the range refinement for JSET to cover all cases is tricky. We also don't expect many users to rely on JSET given LLVM doesn't generate those instructions. So instead of improving the range refinement for JSETs, Eduard suggested we forget the ranges whenever we're narrowing tnums after a JSET. This patch implements that approach.

commit d008ba8be8984760e36d7dcd4adbd5a41a645708 upstream. Some of the sizing logic through tracer_alloc_buffers() uses int internally, causing unexpected behavior if the user passes a value that does not fit in an int (on my x86 machine, the result is uselessly tiny buffers).

2026-04-18cgroup: fix race between task migration and iterationQingye Zhao
commit 5ee01f1a7343d6a3547b6802ca2d4cdce0edacb1 upstream. When a task is migrated out of a css_set, cgroup_migrate_add_task() first moves it from cset->tasks to cset->mg_tasks via: list_move_tail(&task->cg_list, &cset->mg_tasks); If a css_task_iter currently has it->task_pos pointing to this task, css_set_move_task() calls css_task_iter_skip() to keep the iterator valid. However, since the task has already been moved to ->mg_tasks, the iterator is advanced relative to the mg_tasks list instead of the original tasks list. As a result, remaining tasks on cset->tasks, as well as tasks queued on cset->mg_tasks, can be skipped by iteration. Fix this by calling css_set_skip_task_iters() before unlinking task->cg_list from cset->tasks. This advances all active iterators to the next task on cset->tasks, so iteration continues correctly even when a task is concurrently being migrated. This race is hard to hit in practice without instrumentation, but it can be reproduced by artificially slowing down cgroup_procs_show(). For example, on an Android device a temporary /sys/kernel/cgroup/cgroup_test knob can be added to inject a delay into cgroup_procs_show(), and then: 1) Spawn three long-running tasks (PIDs 101, 102, 103). 2) Create a test cgroup and move the tasks into it. 3) Enable a large delay via /sys/kernel/cgroup/cgroup_test. 4) In one shell, read cgroup.procs from the test cgroup. 5) Within the delay window, in another shell migrate PID 102 by writing it to a different cgroup.procs file. Under this setup, cgroup.procs can intermittently show only PID 101 while skipping PID 103. Once the migration completes, reading the file again shows all tasks as expected. Note that this change does not allow removing the existing css_set_skip_task_iters() call in css_set_move_task(). The new call in cgroup_migrate_add_task() only handles iterators that are racing with migration while the task is still on cset->tasks. Iterators may also start after the task has been moved to cset->mg_tasks. If we dropped css_set_skip_task_iters() from css_set_move_task(), such iterators could keep task_pos pointing to a migrating task, causing css_task_iter_advance() to malfunction on the destination css_set, up to and including crashes or infinite loops. The race window between migration and iteration is very small, and css_task_iter is not on a hot path. In the worst case, when an iterator is positioned on the first thread of the migrating process, cgroup_migrate_add_task() may have to skip multiple tasks via css_set_skip_task_iters(). However, this only happens when migration and iteration actually race, so the performance impact is negligible compared to the correctness fix provided here.

2026-04-18unshare: fix unshare_fs() handlingAl Viro
[ Upstream commit 6c4b2243cb6c0755159bd567130d5e12e7b10d9f ] There's an unpleasant corner case in unshare(2), when we have a CLONE_NEWNS in flags and current->fs hadn't been shared at all; in that case copy_mnt_ns() gets passed current->fs instead of a private copy, which causes interesting warts in proof of correctness] > I guess if private means fs->users == 1, the condition could still be true. Unfortunately, it's worse than just a convoluted proof of correctness. Consider the case when we have CLONE_NEWCGROUP in addition to CLONE_NEWNS (and current->fs->users == 1). We pass current->fs to copy_mnt_ns(), all right. Suppose it succeeds and flips current->fs->{pwd,root} to corresponding locations in the new namespace. Now we proceed to copy_cgroup_ns(), which fails (e.g. with -ENOMEM). We call put_mnt_ns() on the namespace created by copy_mnt_ns(), it's destroyed and its mount tree is dissolved, but... current->fs->root and current->fs->pwd are both left pointing to now detached mounts. They are pinning those, so it's not a UAF, but it leaves the calling process with unshare(2) failing with -ENOMEM _and_ leaving it with pwd and root on detached isolated mounts. The last part is clearly a bug. There is other fun related to that mess (races with pivot_root(), including the one between pivot_root() and fork(), of all things), but this one is easy to isolate and fix - treat CLONE_NEWNS as "allocate a new fs_struct even if it hadn't been shared in the first place". Sure, we could go for something like "if both CLONE_NEWNS *and* one of the things that might end up failing after copy_mnt_ns() call in create_new_namespaces() are set, force allocation of new fs_struct", but let's keep it simple - the cost of copy_fs_struct() is trivial.

2026-04-18bpf: Fix stack-out-of-bounds write in devmapKohei Enju
[ Upstream commit b7bf516c3ecd9a2aae2dc2635178ab87b734fef1 ] get_upper_ifindexes() iterates over all upper devices and writes their indices into an array without checking bounds. Also the callers assume that the max number of upper devices is MAX_NEST_DEV and allocate excluded_devices[1+MAX_NEST_DEV] on the stack, but that assumption is not correct and the number of upper devices could be larger than MAX_NEST_DEV (e.g., many macvlans), causing a stack-out-of-bounds write. Add a max parameter to get_upper_ifindexes() to avoid the issue. When there are too many upper devices, return -EOVERFLOW and abort the redirect. To reproduce, create more than MAX_NEST_DEV(8) macvlans on a device with an XDP program attached using BPF_F_BROADCAST | BPF_F_EXCLUDE_INGRESS. Then send a packet to the device to trigger the XDP redirect path.

2026-03-04tracing: Fix false sharing in hwlat get_sample()Colin Lord
[ Upstream commit f743435f988cb0cf1f521035aee857851b25e06d ] The get_sample() function in the hwlat tracer assumes the caller holds hwlat_data.lock, but this is not actually happening. The result is unprotected data access to hwlat_data, and in per-cpu mode can result in false sharing which may show up as false positive latency events. The specific case of false sharing observed was primarily between hwlat_data.sample_width and hwlat_data.count. These are separated by just 8B and are therefore likely to share a cache line. When one thread modifies count, the cache line is in a modified state so when other threads read sample_width in the main latency detection loop, they fetch the modified cache line. On some systems, the fetch itself may be slow enough to count as a latency event, which could set up a self reinforcing cycle of latency events as each event increments count which then causes more latency events, continuing the cycle. The other result of the unprotected data access is that hwlat_data.count can end up with duplicate or missed values, which was observed on some systems in testing. Convert hwlat_data.count to atomic64_t so it can be safely modified without locking, and prevent false sharing by pulling sample_width into a local variable. One system this was tested on was a dual socket server with 32 CPUs on each numa node. With settings of 1us threshold, 1000us width, and 2000us window, this change reduced the number of latency events from 500 per second down to approximately 1 event per minute. Some machines tested did not exhibit measurable latency from the false sharing.

2026-03-04ucount: check for CAP_SYS_RESOURCE using ns_capable_noaudit()Ondrej Mosnacek
[ Upstream commit 0895a000e4fff9e950a7894210db45973e485c35 ] The user.* sysctls implement the ctl_table_root::permissions hook and they override the file access mode based on the CAP_SYS_RESOURCE capability (at most rwx if capable, at most r-- if not). The capability is being checked unconditionally, so if an LSM denies the capability, an audit record may be logged even when access is in fact granted. Given the logic in the set_permissions() function in kernel/ucount.c and the unfortunate way the permission checking is implemented, it doesn't seem viable to avoid false positive denials by deferring the capability check. Thus, do the same as in net_ctl_permissions() (net/sysctl_net.c) - switch from ns_capable() to ns_capable_noaudit(), so that the check never logs an audit record.

2026-03-04sched/rt: Skip currently executing CPU in rto_next_cpu()Chen Jinghuang
[ Upstream commit 94894c9c477e53bcea052e075c53f89df3d2a33e ] CPU0 becomes overloaded when hosting a CPU-bound RT task, a non-CPU-bound RT task, and a CFS task stuck in kernel space. When other CPUs switch from RT to non-RT tasks, RT load balancing (LB) is triggered; with HAVE_RT_PUSH_IPI enabled, they send IPIs to CPU0 to drive the execution of rto_push_irq_work_func. During push_rt_task on CPU0, if next_task->prio < rq->donor->prio, resched_curr() sets NEED_RESCHED and after the push operation completes, CPU0 calls rto_next_cpu(). Since only CPU0 is overloaded in this scenario, rto_next_cpu() should ideally return -1 (no further IPI needed). However, multiple CPUs invoking tell_cpu_to_push() during LB increments rd->rto_loop_next. Even when rd->rto_cpu is set to -1, the mismatch between rd->rto_loop and rd->rto_loop_next forces rto_next_cpu() to restart its search from -1. With CPU0 remaining overloaded (satisfying rt_nr_migratory && rt_nr_total > 1), it gets reselected, causing CPU0 to queue irq_work to itself and send self-IPIs repeatedly. As long as CPU0 stays overloaded and other CPUs run pull_rt_tasks(), it falls into an infinite self-IPI loop, which triggers a CPU hardlockup due to continuous self-interrupts. The trigging scenario is as follows: cpu0 cpu1 cpu2 pull_rt_task tell_cpu_to_push <------------irq_work_queue_on rto_push_irq_work_func push_rt_task resched_curr(rq) pull_rt_task rto_next_cpu tell_cpu_to_push <-------------------------- atomic_inc(rto_loop_next) rd->rto_loop != next rto_next_cpu irq_work_queue_on rto_push_irq_work_func Fix redundant self-IPI by filtering the initiating CPU in rto_next_cpu(). This solution has been verified to effectively eliminate spurious self-IPIs and prevent CPU hardlockup scenarios.

2026-02-11tracing: Fix ftrace event field alignmentsSteven Rostedt
[ Upstream commit 033c55fe2e326bea022c3cc5178ecf3e0e459b82 ] 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; field:unsigned int overrun; offset:16; size:4; signed:0; field:unsigned long long calltime; offset:20; size:8; signed:0; field:unsigned long long rettime; offset:28; size:8; signed:0; Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org> Reported-by: "jempty.liang" <imntjempty@163.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260204113628.53faec78@gandalf.local.home Fixes: 04ae87a52074e ("ftrace: Rework event_create_dir()") Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260130015740.212343-1-imntjempty@163.com/ Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260202123342.2544795-1-imntjempty@163.com/ Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org> [ Context / renames ] Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

2026-02-11timers: Fix NULL function pointer race in timer_shutdown_sync()Yipeng Zou
commit 20739af07383e6eb1ec59dcd70b72ebfa9ac362c upstream. There is a race condition between timer_shutdown_sync() and timer expiration that can lead to hitting a WARN_ON in expire_timers(). The issue occurs when timer_shutdown_sync() clears the timer function to NULL while the timer is still running on another CPU. The race scenario looks like this: CPU0 CPU1 <SOFTIRQ> lock_timer_base() expire_timers() base->running_timer = timer; unlock_timer_base() [call_timer_fn enter] mod_timer() ... timer_shutdown_sync() lock_timer_base() // For now, will not detach the timer but only clear its function to NULL if (base->running_timer != timer) ret = detach_if_pending(timer, base, true); if (shutdown) timer->function = NULL; unlock_timer_base() [call_timer_fn exit] lock_timer_base() base->running_timer = NULL; unlock_timer_base() ... // Now timer is pending while its function set to NULL. // next timer trigger <SOFTIRQ> expire_timers() WARN_ON_ONCE(!fn) // hit ... lock_timer_base() // Now timer will detach if (base->running_timer != timer) ret = detach_if_pending(timer, base, true); if (shutdown) timer->function = NULL; unlock_timer_base() The problem is that timer_shutdown_sync() clears the timer function regardless of whether the timer is currently running. This can leave a pending timer with a NULL function pointer, which triggers the WARN_ON_ONCE(!fn) check in expire_timers(). Fix this by only clearing the timer function when actually detaching the timer. If the timer is running, leave the function pointer intact, which is safe because the timer will be properly detached when it finishes running.

In those cases it is desired to shutdown the timer in a way which prevents rearming of the timer. The mechanism to do so is to set timer->function to NULL and use this as an indicator for the timer arming functions to ignore the (re)arm request. Split the inner workings of try_do_del_timer_sync(), del_timer_sync() and del_timer() into helper functions to prepare for implementing the shutdown functionality. No functional change.

2026-02-11timers: Silently ignore timers with a NULL functionThomas Gleixner
[ Upstream commit d02e382cef06cc73561dd32dfdc171c00dcc416d ] Tearing down timers which have circular dependencies to other functionality, e.g. workqueues, where the timer can schedule work and work can arm timers, is not trivial. In those cases it is desired to shutdown the timer in a way which prevents rearming of the timer. The mechanism to do so is to set timer->function to NULL and use this as an indicator for the timer arming functions to ignore the (re)arm request. In preparation for that replace the warnings in the relevant code paths with checks for timer->function == NULL. If the pointer is NULL, then discard the rearm request silently. Add debug_assert_init() instead of the WARN_ON_ONCE(!timer->function) checks so that debug objects can warn about non-initialized timers. The warning of debug objects does not warn if timer->function == NULL. It warns when timer was not initialized using timer_setup[_on_stack]() or via DEFINE_TIMER(). If developers fail to enable debug objects and then waste lots of time to figure out why their non-initialized timer is not firing, they deserve it. Same for initializing a timer with a NULL function.

[ Upstream commit 56c430c7f06d838fe3b2077dbbc4cc0bf992312b ] Currently, dma_alloc_from_pool() unconditionally warns and dumps a stack trace when an allocation fails, with the message "Failed to get suitable pool". This conflates two distinct failure modes: 1. Configuration error: No atomic pool is available for the requested DMA mask (a fundamental system setup issue) 2. Resource Exhaustion: A suitable pool exists but is currently full (a recoverable runtime state) This lack of distinction prevents drivers from using __GFP_NOWARN to suppress error messages during temporary pressure spikes, such as when awaiting synchronous reclaim of descriptors. Refactor the error handling to distinguish these cases: - If no suitable pool is found, keep the unconditional WARN regarding the missing pool. - If a pool was found but is exhausted, respect __GFP_NOWARN and update the warning message to explicitly state "DMA pool exhausted".

2026-02-06bpf: Reject narrower access to pointer ctx fieldsPaul Chaignon
commit e09299225d5ba3916c91ef70565f7d2187e4cca0 upstream. The following BPF program, simplified from a syzkaller repro, causes a kernel warning: r0 = *(u8 *)(r1 + 169); exit; With pointer field sk being at offset 168 in __sk_buff. This access is detected as a narrower read in bpf_skb_is_valid_access because it doesn't match offsetof(struct __sk_buff, sk). It is therefore allowed and later proceeds to bpf_convert_ctx_access. Note that for the "is_narrower_load" case in the convert_ctx_accesses(), the insn->off is aligned, so the cnt may not be 0 because it matches the offsetof(struct __sk_buff, sk) in the bpf_convert_ctx_access. However, the target_size stays 0 and the verifier errors with a kernel warning: verifier bug: error during ctx access conversion(1) This patch fixes that to return a proper "invalid bpf_context access off=X size=Y" error on the load instruction. The same issue affects multiple other fields in context structures that allow narrow access. Some other non-affected fields (for sk_msg, sk_lookup, and sockopt) were also changed to use bpf_ctx_range_ptr for consistency. Note this syzkaller crash was reported in the "Closes" link below, which used to be about a different bug, fixed in commit fce7bd8e385a ("bpf/verifier: Handle BPF_LOAD_ACQ instructions in insn_def_regno()").

2026-02-06ptp: Add PHC file mode checks. Allow RO adjtime() without FMODE_WRITE.Wojtek Wasko
[ Upstream commit b4e53b15c04e3852949003752f48f7a14ae39e86 ] Many devices implement highly accurate clocks, which the kernel manages as PTP Hardware Clocks (PHCs). Userspace applications rely on these clocks to timestamp events, trace workload execution, correlate timescales across devices, and keep various clocks in sync. The kernel’s current implementation of PTP clocks does not enforce file permissions checks for most device operations except for POSIX clock operations, where file mode is verified in the POSIX layer before forwarding the call to the PTP subsystem. Consequently, it is common practice to not give unprivileged userspace applications any access to PTP clocks whatsoever by giving the PTP chardevs 600 permissions. An example of users running into this limitation is documented in [1]. Additionally, POSIX layer requires WRITE permission even for readonly adjtime() calls which are used in PTP layer to return current frequency offset applied to the PHC. Add permission checks for functions that modify the state of a PTP device. Continue enforcing permission checks for POSIX clock operations (settime, adjtime) in the POSIX layer. Only require WRITE access for dynamic clocks adjtime() if any flags are set in the modes field. [1] https://lists.nwtime.org/sympa/arc/linuxptp-users/2024-01/msg00036.html Changes in v4: - Require FMODE_WRITE in ajtime() only for calls modifying the clock in any way.

2026-01-19scs: fix a wrong parameter in __scs_magicZhichi Lin
commit 08bd4c46d5e63b78e77f2605283874bbe868ab19 upstream. __scs_magic() needs a 'void *' variable, but a 'struct task_struct *' is given. 'task_scs(tsk)' is the starting address of the task's shadow call stack, and '__scs_magic(task_scs(tsk))' is the end address of the task's shadow call stack. Here should be '__scs_magic(task_scs(tsk))'. The user-visible effect of this bug is that when CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE is enabled, the shadow call stack usage checking function (scs_check_usage) would scan an incorrect memory range. This could lead to: 1. **Inaccurate stack usage reporting**: The function would calculate wrong usage statistics for the shadow call stack, potentially showing incorrect value in kmsg. 2. **Potential kernel crash**: If the value of __scs_magic(tsk)is greater than that of __scs_magic(task_scs(tsk)), the for loop may access unmapped memory, potentially causing a kernel panic. However, this scenario is unlikely because task_struct is allocated via the slab allocator (which typically returns lower addresses), while the shadow call stack returned by task_scs(tsk) is allocated via vmalloc(which typically returns higher addresses). However, since this is purely a debugging feature (CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE), normal production systems should be not unaffected. The bug only impacts developers and testers who are actively debugging stack usage with this configuration enabled.

2026-01-19livepatch: Match old_sympos 0 and 1 in klp_find_func()Song Liu
[ Upstream commit 139560e8b973402140cafeb68c656c1374bd4c20 ] When there is only one function of the same name, old_sympos of 0 and 1 are logically identical. Match them in klp_find_func(). This is to avoid a corner case with different toolchain behavior. In this specific issue, two versions of kpatch-build were used to build livepatch for the same kernel. One assigns old_sympos == 0 for unique local functions, the other assigns old_sympos == 1 for unique local functions. Both versions work fine by themselves. (PS: This behavior change was introduced in a downstream version of kpatch-build. This change does not exist in upstream kpatch-build.) However, during livepatch upgrade (with the replace flag set) from a patch built with one version of kpatch-build to the same fix built with the other version of kpatch-build, livepatching fails with errors like: [ 14.218706] sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename 'xxx/somefunc,1' ...

2026-01-19sched/deadline: only set free_cpus for online runqueuesDoug Berger
[ Upstream commit 382748c05e58a9f1935f5a653c352422375566ea ] Commit 16b269436b72 ("sched/deadline: Modify cpudl::free_cpus to reflect rd->online") introduced the cpudl_set/clear_freecpu functions to allow the cpu_dl::free_cpus mask to be manipulated by the deadline scheduler class rq_on/offline callbacks so the mask would also reflect this state. Commit 9659e1eeee28 ("sched/deadline: Remove cpu_active_mask from cpudl_find()") removed the check of the cpu_active_mask to save some processing on the premise that the cpudl::free_cpus mask already reflected the runqueue online state. Unfortunately, there are cases where it is possible for the cpudl_clear function to set the free_cpus bit for a CPU when the deadline runqueue is offline. When this occurs while a CPU is connected to the default root domain the flag may retain the bad state after the CPU has been unplugged. Later, a different CPU that is transitioning through the default root domain may push a deadline task to the powered down CPU when cpudl_find sees its free_cpus bit is set. If this happens the task will not have the opportunity to run. One example is outlined here: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250110233010.2339521-1-opendmb@gmail.com Another occurs when the last deadline task is migrated from a CPU that has an offlined runqueue. The dequeue_task member of the deadline scheduler class will eventually call cpudl_clear and set the free_cpus bit for the CPU. This commit modifies the cpudl_clear function to be aware of the online state of the deadline runqueue so that the free_cpus mask can be updated appropriately. It is no longer necessary to manage the mask outside of the cpudl_set/clear functions so the cpudl_set/clear_freecpu functions are removed. In addition, since the free_cpus mask is now only updated under the cpudl lock the code was changed to use the non-atomic __cpumask functions.
