13 hoursring-buffer: Make cpu_buffer::free_page a buffer_data_read_pageVincent Donnefort
[ Upstream commit 7a1fb95de5404134f8758c1295ce88986bdf117c ] Discarding a cached reader page after a concurrent ring buffer resize uses the new global subbuf_order for the free_pages() call. This mismatched order may crashes the kernel or leaks memory because the cached page was allocated under the old size. Save the actual free_page order alongside the page address to ensure we always refer to the correct value and do not rely on the potentially stalled cpu_buffer->subbuf_order value. The simplest is to make free_page a buffer_data_read_page which already covers exactly what we need: a page address and a page order.

13 hourssched/core: Make core-sched flips wait for in-flight selectionsTejun Heo
[ Upstream commit f3629c63a4af3e491381780bc6c123cb498c4c40 ] Core scheduling's pick_next_task() operates on all sibling rqs under one acquisition of the shared core-wide lock. A ->pick_task() that releases the rq lock leaves every sibling __lock momentarily free, letting __sched_core_flip(false) complete mid-selection and rebind rq_lockp() under it. The selection resumes on the split locks, touching sibling state it no longer protects, and __schedule() finally releases a lock that was never taken while leaking the one that was. Count in-flight core-wide selections in the leader's rq->core_pick_in_flight and make __sched_core_flip() wait for the count to drain. The count only changes under the shared lock, which the flip holds while sampling, so no other ordering is needed. The wait can repeat while selections overlap, but the flip backs off between samples and flips are rare cookie-lifetime events. sched_core_cpu_deactivate() moves the count to the new leader - a stale copy left behind would bias it forever if that CPU later returns as its own leader.

13 hourssched: Rework prev_balance() to avoid stale prev referencesJohn Stultz
[ Upstream commit 7a3a6bfbd62a2ba3e0ef1e92d6b71abb66890825 ] Historically, the prev value from __schedule() was the rq->curr. This prev value is passed down through numerous functions, and used in the class scheduler implementations. The fact that prev was on_cpu until the end of __schedule(), meant it was stable across the rq lock drops that the class->balance() implementations often do. However, with proxy-exec, the prev passed to functions called by __schedule() is rq->donor, which may not be the same as rq->curr and may not be on_cpu, this makes the prev value potentially unstable across rq lock drops. A recently found issue with proxy-exec, is when we begin doing return migration from try_to_wake_up(), its possible we may be waking up the rq->donor. When we do this, we proxy_resched_idle() to put_prev_set_next() setting the rq->donor to rq->idle, allowing the rq->donor to be return migrated and allowed to run. This however runs into trouble, as on another cpu we might be in the middle of calling __schedule(). Conceptually the rq lock is held for the majority of the time, but in calling prev_balance() its possible the class->balance() handler call may briefly drop the rq lock. This opens a window for try_to_wake_up() to wake and return migrate the rq->donor before the class logic reacquires the rq lock. Unfortunately prev_balance() pass in a prev argument, to which we pass rq->donor. However this prev value can now become stale and incorrect across a rq lock drop. So, to correct this, rework the prev_balance() call so that it does not take a "prev" argument.

Convert all six balance callbacks, including the fair and SCX callbacks still present here, to the new signature. Read rq->donor at the existing selection and balance call sites, and refresh prev after new-idle balancing in pick_next_task_fair() because that path still drops the rq lock inside the stable pick_next_task implementation.

13 hourssched_ext: Fix inverted ops.core_sched_before() invocationTejun Heo
[ Upstream commit f7b6d128dd49a6eec09066ecfd29095f12588786 ] scx_prio_less() implements prio_less() semantics - %true means that @a is the lower priority and should run after @b. ops.core_sched_before() is documented to return %true when @a should run before @b. scx_prio_less() returns the op's value as-is, inverting the documented semantics at runtime. Call the op with the arguments swapped. scx_qmap followed the wiring instead of the documentation and returned %true for the younger task, so the two inversions canceled out and it behaved as intended. Flip its comparison to match. scx_qmap is likely the only current user in or out of the kernel tree. Any scheduler written the same way needs the same flip, while schedulers following the documentation are fixed by this change.

13 hourskprobes: Protect kprobe_blacklist with RCUMasami Hiramatsu (Google)
commit 0c4256196b3a105307e2235fbfd85e768bbcdd0f upstream. __within_kprobe_blacklist() traverses kprobe_blacklist without holding kprobe_mutex. When a module is unloaded, kprobe_remove_area_blacklist() removes blacklist entries and immediately frees them with kfree(). A concurrent call to within_kprobe_blacklist() can therefore dereference freed memory. Furthermore, within_kprobe_blacklist() can be called in atomic or non-preemptible contexts where the sleeping kprobe_mutex cannot be taken. Protect kprobe_blacklist with RCU. Use guard(rcu)() and list_for_each_entry_rcu() for traversal, list_add_tail_rcu() for insertions, list_del_rcu() for deletions, and kfree_rcu() to reclaim entries safely after a grace period.

13 hoursbpf: Fix infinite loop in pcpu_freelist push with one possible CPUHui Su
commit efebf6496685c93150df5bb0794363ae70c5f58a upstream. __pcpu_freelist_push() can loop forever when only one CPU is possible and an NMI re-enters pcpu_freelist_push() while the interrupted context holds that CPU's freelist lock. After the current-CPU fast path fails, the fallback loop walks cpu_possible_mask while skipping the current CPU. With CONFIG_SMP=n, or when an SMP kernel is limited to one possible CPU with nr_cpus=1 or possible_cpus=1, there are no other possible CPUs to examine. The loop therefore makes no lock acquisition attempt and can never make progress. The following stack was observed on a UP system: NMI context: pcpu_freelist_push free_htab_elem htab_map_delete_elem [perf-event BPF program] __perf_event_overflow perf_event_nmi_handler exc_nmi Interrupted context: __pcpu_freelist_push pcpu_freelist_push free_htab_elem htab_map_delete_elem [raw_tp/sys_enter BPF program] __bpf_trace_sys_enter do_syscall_64 raw_res_spin_lock() detects the same-CPU recursive acquisition and returns -EDEADLK, but the subsequent fallback loop has no candidate head on a system with one possible CPU. Restore the extra fallback head that existed before the rqspinlock conversion. Keep the current-CPU fast path, then try the other possible CPUs and finally the extra head. The additional head lets a push, which cannot fail without losing a preallocated element, make progress when the only per-CPU head is held by the interrupted context. Also check the extra head from the pop path so that nodes placed there can be reused.

13 hoursftrace: Synchronize the initialization of ftrace_opsSteven Rostedt
commit 4617721c502b2ddaa4e324e86da4997edf738fa5 upstream. There's some internal state that ftrace_ops needs to have set, but since it can be declared outside of the ftrace.c code, it calls ftrace_ops_init() on the ops in every global function. The issue is that if two tasks call it on the same ops at the same time it is possible to have the initialization of one corrupt the initialization of the other call. Create a ops_mutex to use to synchronize every initialization of the ftrace_ops. The mutex is taken within checking the ftrace_ops flag that states it was initializied but the flag is checked again after the mutex has been taken. Checking first outside the mutex allows it to shortcut having to take the mutex. But then the check needs to be done again after the mute is taken in case of races.

13 hoursfutex: Prevent rcuwait use-after-free during requeue PIYao Kai
commit a3b8d46fe401cba3a5c46dea610e6eb3dc15370e upstream. On PREEMPT_RT, FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI can trigger a KASAN report (slab-out-of-bounds) in futex_requeue_pi_complete() invocation of rcuwait_wake_up(). The futex_q used by futex_wait_requeue_pi() is allocated on the waiter's stack. An early wakeup can race with a PI requeue as follows: waiter requeue task ------ ------------ futex_wait_requeue_pi() futex_do_wait() schedule() futex_requeue futex_proxy_trylock_atomic() futex_requeue_pi_prepare() Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS * timeout/ signal wakes waiter * futex_requeue_pi_wakeup_sync() Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT requeue_pi_wake_futex futex_requeue_pi_complete() cmpxchg Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_LOCKED rcuwait_wait_event() if (atomic_read(&q->requeue_state) != Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT) break /* no schedule() */ /* q.pi_state->owner == current */ futex_private_hash_put() /* return from syscall */ rcuwait_wake_up(&q->requeue_wait) /* q is gone */ futex_requeue_pi_complete() publishes Q_REQUEUE_PI_LOCKED before calling rcuwait_wake_up(). The waiter observes this state in rcuwait_wait_event() before invoking schedule() in rcuwait_wait_event(). Here, the waiter is free leave the syscall before requeue task can complete the wake. To address this race skip rcuwait_wake_up() in the Q_REQUEUE_PI_LOCKED case. This state is only published by requeue_pi_wake_futex(), which saves q->task before futex_requeue_pi_complete() and wakes the waiter via wake_up_state(). This wake is intended to wake the waiter from its futex_do_wait() sleep. If the waiter is still sleeping there, it can not get into the Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT state (and require this removed wake). Should the waiter be woken up from futex_do_wait() by other means (as in this example) and sleep in futex_requeue_pi_wakeup_sync() then the wake_up_state() from requeue_pi_wake_futex() will wake it, too. Should the waiter task terminate before wake_up_state() had a chance to wake the task then the task pointer does not become invalid because the futex_hash_bucket::lock is held and the task pointer is RCU protected.

13 hoursentry: Fix seccomp bypass after ptrace with TSYNCJinjie Ruan
commit 4a3591287fb7f808e209b4974ed337f609a2006b upstream. Sashiko review pointed out the following issue. If a thread is stopped in syscall_trace_enter() for ptrace, another thread can install a seccomp filter with SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_TSYNC (e.g., via seccomp_attach_filter()). This will successfully set SYSCALL_WORK_SECCOMP on the stopped thread, but syscall_trace_enter() evaluates a cached 'work' variable sampled on entry. Consequently, the subsequent check for SYSCALL_WORK_SECCOMP misses the newly assigned flag, and the filter is silently bypassed. This race condition could allow an unprivileged process to execute a prohibited system call (e.g., execve) that the newly installed filter was intended to block, especially since the tracer might have modified the system call number during the ptrace stop. Fix this by re-reading the syscall_work flags after ptrace handling, so that any new SYSCALL_WORK_SECCOMP flag set by another thread via TSYNC during the ptrace stop is observed before the subsequent seccomp check.

4 daystaskstats: fix cpumask parsing cutting off the last characterBradley Morgan
commit 1f58a5335cdd14b3fb5f2a5d3763dee1f5cba1d3 upstream. parse() hands nla_strscpy() len as dstsize, and nla_strscpy() copies at most dstsize - 1 bytes. When the attr payload comes in without a trailing NUL, srclen == len >= dstsize and the last character of the cpumask string gets cut off. Register "0-15" and you are silently listening on "0-1", exit data for the rest never shows up. The bug only bites when the sender doesn't NUL terminate the payload; senders that include the NUL were always fine (srclen gets decremented for the trailing NUL, so srclen < dstsize). Thats probably why this survived 20 years. And the policy is NLA_STRING, not NLA_NUL_STRING, so a payload without the trailing NUL is legit input here. Skip the kmalloc/nla_strscpy dance entirely and use nla_strdup(), which already allocates srclen + 1 and terminates. The nla_len() bounds checks stay as they were.

4 dayssysctl: move the "cad_pid" entry from pid_table[] to kern_reboot_table[]Oleg Nesterov
commit 7170ca01623b399c97f2ae9d3e228badc1f25ea3 upstream. cad_pid is global, and kill_cad_pid() is only used in the root namespace. However, due to pid_table_root_permissions(), a non-root user can unshare pid/user namespaces and modify it from the child namespace. This makes no sense and is simply wrong. Move it to kern_reboot_table[] where it logically belongs; this ensures that only GLOBAL_ROOT_UID can read/modify this sysctl. Note that this patch doesn't preserve "#ifdef CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL" around the "cad_pid"; CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL selects CONFIG_SYSCTL, so it is always set when kern_reboot_table[] is compiled.

commit 3bff8f8e95fdc6ad19c8a1a8f87029094747e4bf upstream. rate_limit_us is an unsigned int, while NSEC_PER_USEC is defined as 1000L. On 32-bit systems, the multiplication is therefore performed using 32-bit unsigned arithmetic before the result is assigned to freq_update_delay_ns. For example, writing 4294968 to rate_limit_us wraps the delay from 4294968000 ns to 704 ns. This makes schedutil update far more often than configured. Add sugov_update_rate_limit_us() to widen rate_limit_us to s64 before converting it to nanoseconds. Use the helper when updating the tunable through sysfs and when starting the governor, so both paths perform the conversion without overflow.

4 daysbpf: Harden bloom filter sizing and indexing on 32-bit kernelsJérémy Jean
commit 11c1e836710dcba03e50454a4eedfdbaf8d3050e upstream. bloom_map_alloc() has two 32-bit-specific problems when the computed bitmap reaches the U32_MAX fallback case. First, BITS_TO_BYTES(U32_MAX) is evaluated with 32-bit arithmetic. The addition performed by DIV_ROUND_UP wraps, so the map allocates only the fixed-size bloom filter object while keeping bitset_mask == U32_MAX. Subsequent updates can then write past the allocated object. Second, fixing only the allocation size is not sufficient. The bloom hash is a u32, but set_bit() takes a signed long bit number and x86 test_bit() eventually feeds the index to variable_test_bit(long, ...). On 32-bit kernels, hashes in [0x80000000, U32_MAX] therefore become negative bit offsets. x86 bt/bts with a memory operand interpret those offsets relative to the supplied base, so a map with bitset_mask == U32_MAX can read or write before bloom->bitset even after allocating the full 512 MiB bitmap. Keep the U32_MAX fallback, but split each hash into a word pointer and an in-word bit number before calling test_bit() or set_bit(). The bitops argument is then always in [0, BITS_PER_LONG - 1], while BIT_WORD(h) still selects the intended word in the full bitmap. Compute the bitset size from (u64)bitset_mask + 1 before passing the final size to bpf_map_area_alloc(). This fixes the original under-allocation and keeps the allocated storage consistent with the addressable bitset. Exploitation note: local privilege escalation is possible on a 32-bit x86 kernel using the under-allocation bug from a binary with CAP_BPF.

4 daysbpf: Disable preemption in __bpf_get_stackDaniel Borkmann
commit b1a47b2708d4e95dbd23aee2ec83752190897b3f upstream. get_perf_callchain() returns a per-CPU perf_callchain_entry buffer and releases its recursion slot via put_callchain_entry() before returning, so nothing keeps the entry reserved while __bpf_get_stack() consumes it below. A preemptible BPF program (e.g. a non-sleepable raw tracepoint program on a PREEMPT kernel, which runs under migrate_disable() but not preempt_disable()) can be scheduled out between obtaining the entry and the copy. Another task scheduled on the same CPU then reuses the same per-CPU buffer and overwrites trace->nr with a larger value. copy_len is then computed from the inflated trace->nr and can exceed the caller's buffer, causing an out-of-bounds write in the memcpy() and in the build_id path. The rcu_read_lock() taken here alone does not prevent this. It is only taken on the may_fault path, and under CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU it does not disable preemption; it merely keeps perf's callchain buffer array alive (freed via call_rcu()) and does nothing to stop another task from reusing the entry. Disable preemption around obtaining the callchain entry and copying it into the caller's buffer, so the entry cannot be reused underneath us and trace->nr stays bounded by max_depth. Build ID resolution may fault and is therefore deferred until after preemption is re-enabled; by then the instruction pointers have already been copied into buf, so it operates only on that private copy. Note, preempt_disable() also subsumes the buffer-lifetime guarantee the rcu_read_lock() provided, since a preempt-disabled section is an RCU read-side critical section for the callchain buffers' call_rcu() reclaim.

4 daysaudit: avoid dropping live tree ref on fsnotify rule autoremoveJérémy Jean
commit 783f0f0974c156aca630f4ffff248671082a098d upstream. audit_del_rule() is used for both netlink deletion templates and internal fsnotify autoremove. The former passes a parsed template which owns a temporary tree reference; the latter passes the installed entry itself. The unconditional audit_put_tree() at the end of audit_del_rule() assumes the template case. For mixed AUDIT_DIR plus AUDIT_EXE rules, an fsnotify autoremove event therefore drops the installed rule's live tree reference. Repeating this across rules sharing the same tree can free the tree while another rule still references it, and a later autoremove dereferences the freed pathname while comparing rules. Move the temporary-tree put to audit_rule_change(), the caller that owns deletion templates. Keep it in the AUDIT_DEL_RULE cleanup so both successful deletion and -ENOENT still release the parser-owned tree.

commit a7318172aa332a161fb9618286e64454c827f8fd upstream. When two hist triggers on different events are registered with the same name=, the second one reuses the first as named_data. Both are added to tr->hist_vars by save_hist_vars() during event_hist_trigger_parse(), because save_hist_vars() is called before event_trigger_register() while the named reuse is only detected later, in hist_register_trigger().

Readers of trace_pipe hold pointers into those pages. ring_buffer_peek() looks up an event under cpu_buffer->reader_lock but returns the event pointer after dropping the lock, and peek_next_entry() then calls ring_buffer_event_length() and ring_buffer_event_data() on it.

4 daystracing/user_events: Clear copied tracing state before fork duplicationJérémy Jean
commit 390f6bd8583d177029d9df4bea6667509e55a765 upstream. dup_task_struct() copies user_event_mm from the parent into the child, without grabbing a reference to it. user_event_mm_dup() should replace it, but it leaves that copied pointer unmodified if user_event_mm_alloc() fails. When the child exits, user_event_mm_remove() decrements a reference the child never owned, which ultimately frees user_event_mm, while the parent still as a stale pointer to it. This creates a UAF, which KASAN reports as: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in current_user_event_mm+0x51/0x1d0 Write of size 4 at addr ffff888005010d30 by task init/44 Call Trace: <TASK> kasan_report+0xce/0x100 kasan_check_range+0x10f/0x1e0 current_user_event_mm+0x51/0x1d0 user_events_ioctl+0x82e/0x15c0 __x64_sys_ioctl+0x139/0x1c0 do_syscall_64+0xce/0x450 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f Allocated by task 44: __kasan_kmalloc+0x8f/0xa0 __kmalloc_cache_noprof+0x180/0x3a0 user_event_mm_alloc+0x3c/0x1f0 current_user_event_mm+0x88/0x1d0 Freed by task 42: __kasan_slab_free+0x43/0x70 kfree+0x13a/0x390 process_one_work+0x696/0xf90 worker_thread+0x420/0xba0 The fix simply clears the copied pointer before any possible failure.

4 daystimers/itimer: Zero-init old itimerval before copy to userspaceJérémy Jean
commit 18c7d85864e554adc8fad1e8d2e9d2cb6c3911c8 upstream. On native sparc64, struct __kernel_old_timeval contains a four-byte hole after tv_usec because tv_sec is 64-bit while __kernel_suseconds_t is 32-bit. put_itimerval() fills only the named fields in a stack-allocated __kernel_old_itimerval and copies the entire object to userspace, so getitimer() can expose the two padding holes. Zero-initialize the aggregate before assigning the fields so implicit padding is deterministic before it crosses the user/kernel boundary.

4 daysbpf: Fix incorrect pruning due to atomic fetch precision trackingDaniel Borkmann
[ Upstream commit 179ee84a89114b854ac2dd1d293633a7f6c8dac1 ] When backtrack_insn encounters a BPF_STX instruction with BPF_ATOMIC and BPF_FETCH, the src register (or r0 for BPF_CMPXCHG) also acts as a destination, thus receiving the old value from the memory location. The current backtracking logic does not account for this. It treats atomic fetch operations the same as regular stores where the src register is only an input. This leads the backtrack_insn to fail to propagate precision to the stack location, which is then not marked as precise! Later, the verifier's path pruning can incorrectly consider two states equivalent when they differ in terms of stack state. Meaning, two branches can be treated as equivalent and thus get pruned when they should not be seen as such. Fix it as follows: Extend the BPF_LDX handling in backtrack_insn to also cover atomic fetch operations via is_atomic_fetch_insn() helper. When the fetch dst register is being tracked for precision, clear it, and propagate precision over to the stack slot. For non-stack memory, the precision walk stops at the atomic instruction, same as regular BPF_LDX. This covers all fetch variants.

9 daysbpf: Fix use-after-free in offloaded map/prog info fillJiayuan Chen
[ Upstream commit a0c584fc18056709c8e047a82a6045d6c209f4ce ] When querying info for an offloaded BPF map or program, bpf_map_offload_info_fill_ns() and bpf_prog_offload_info_fill_ns() obtain the network namespace with get_net(dev_net(offmap->netdev)). However, the associated netdev's netns may be racing with teardown during netns destruction. If the netns refcount has already reached 0, get_net() performs a refcount_t increment on 0, triggering: refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free. Although rtnl_lock and bpf_devs_lock ensure the netdev pointer remains valid, they cannot prevent the netns refcount from reaching zero. Fix this by using maybe_get_net() instead of get_net(). maybe_get_net() uses refcount_inc_not_zero() and returns NULL if the refcount is already zero, which causes ns_get_path_cb() to fail and the caller to return -ENOENT -- the correct behavior when the netns is being destroyed.

2026-08-27futex: Avoid private hash use-after-free on final putFelix Hoffmann
[ Upstream commit 1c7efabfbaf796f11000a46094a69955a01ec6cc ] futex_private_hash_put() drops the reference to fph before evaluating fph->mm for wake_up_var(). futex_ref_put() enables preemption again before returning. If that put drops the final reference and the task is preempted, another task can pivot to the replacement hash and free the old hash after an RCU grace period. The first task then reads fph->mm from the freed allocation when it resumes. KASAN reports a slab-use-after-free in futex_private_hash_put(), with the read at offset 24 in a freed kmalloc-512 allocation. The allocation and free stacks point to futex_hash_allocate() and the RCU free path, respectively. Load the mm pointer while the fph reference is still held and pass the saved value to wake_up_var(). wake_up_var() uses the pointer as a waitqueue key and does not dereference the mm through it.

2026-08-27futex: Fix race on the initial mm->futex.phash.ref allocationHyunwoo Kim
commit bde0238083647381d4747355c5a19115a3422b96 upstream. futex_hash_allocate() allocates mm->futex.phash.ref without any locking. Commit d9b05321e21e ("futex: Move futex_hash_free() back to __mmput()") moved the allocation here and assumed that the process has just a single thread at this point. Commit ee9dce44362b ("futex: Drop CLONE_THREAD requirement for private default hash alloc") widened need_futex_hash_allocate_default() to cover any CLONE_VM clone, but left out vfork because the parent is suspended and cannot race. That no longer holds once vfork is nested. If a vfork child calls vfork again and is then killed with SIGKILL, the parent is released from its vfork wait and runs concurrently with the grandchild in the same mm. Neither of them went through futex_hash_allocate_default(). When both call prctl(PR_FUTEX_HASH, PR_FUTEX_HASH_SET_SLOTS) at the same time, each one sees mm->futex.phash.ref as NULL and stores its own percpu counter. Only the last store survives. The counter stored first is no longer reachable from the mm, so the references on it are not seen by __futex_ref_atomic_end(). A private hash that still has references is then considered dead and freed, and a task that still holds one of its buckets writes into freed memory in futex_q_lock(). Store the counter once with cmpxchg() and let the loser free_percpu() its own. The initial reference has to be taken before the store, otherwise another task can install a private hash while the counter is still 0.

2026-08-27futex/pi: Plug private futex exec() raceThomas Gleixner
commit c5f0bc9fd1cec4a00400cc727fcde03e0fde17cc upstream. The check for private futexes whether the waiter's mm, which is stored in the futex_key and copied into the pi_state, is the same as the owner's mm is not sufficient for exec(). exec() has a gap where the mm check fails to give the correct answer: exec() ... exec_release_mm() futex_exec_release() tsk::futex::exit_state = EXITING; cleanup_robust_list(); 1) tsk::futex::exit_state = OK; ... old_mm = tsk::mm; 2) tsk::mm = ->mm; Between #1 and #2 the check for the mm is wrong as that mm is about to be swapped out and eventually freed. Plug this gap by: 1) Setting tsk::futex::exit_state to FUTEX_STATE_DEAD in futex_exec_release() 2) Setting tsk::futex::exit_state to FUTEX_STATE_OK after the mm has been switched. >>From a futex point of view the task is dead after it finished the robust list cleanup up to the point where it sets the state to OK again.

2026-08-27futex: Sanitize and document task_struct::futex::state transitionsThomas Gleixner
commit f9ece060cc43eae8a1f148737d193ba0d07b8f88 upstream. The futex state is used to prevent a waiter from attaching to the lock owner while the owner runs the futex cleanup in exit() or exec(). Only the state transition from FUTEX_STATE_OK to FUTEX_STATE_EXITING must be done with the task's pi_lock held, the transition away from FUTEX_STATE_EXITING has no serialization requirements on the writer side, but it's completely non obvious why. It's magically protected by exit_pi_state(), which operates under tsk::pi_lock, as that's the state which has to be correct when the waiter observes the new state. OTOH, taking the pi_lock in futex_cleanup_end() is not a performance issue because at that point the lock should be uncontended in the vast majority of cases. Aside of that the handling of FUTEX_STATE_EXITING in attach_to_pi_owner() and handle_exit_race() is confusing at best. Protect the store in futex_cleanup_end() with tsk::pi_lock, handle FUTEX_STATE_EXITING in attach_to_pi_owner() explicitly and document how this is supposed to work.

2026-08-27futex/pi: Reject cross-mm private futex ownersKyle Zeng
commit 59b3732f95dda1fbd2234514d35f4fb6b5bb6d85 upstream. A private futex key borrows the waiter's mm without taking an mm_users reference. Nevertheless, attach_to_pi_owner() currently accepts an owner from a different address space and copies the private key into the owner's PI state. When that owner exits, exit_pi_state_list() uses the saved key to find the hash bucket and acquires a reference to the waiter's private hash. If the last user of the waiter's mm exits concurrently, futex_hash_free() frees the hash while the owner still uses its bucket and reference. Prevent this by validating in attach_to_pi_owner() that, for private futexes, the owner mm and waiter mm are the same. Perform the check with the owner's pi_lock held and after validating owner::futex::state to serialize against a concurrent PI-state exit cleanup.

2026-08-27kcov: fix data corruption and race conditions on PREEMPT_RTTetsuo Handa
commit 2eed77fdcb0cc48e8eccb2bcd4b7f2c6d650e84c upstream. syzbot is reporting KCOV state corruption on PREEMPT_RT kernels, for the temporary storage used for saving/restoring remote KCOV state is currently allocated as the per-CPU area. On PREEMPT_RT kernels, softirq handlers run as preemptible task threads (e.g., ksoftirqd). If a softirq context preempts a task running a remote KCOV session, it safely saves the task's state into the per-CPU area. However, if that softirq thread is subsequently preempted by a higher- priority softirq thread on the same CPU, the second softirq will overwrite the same per-CPU area, permanently destroying the original task's KCOV state. Fix this data corruption by moving the temporary storage from the per-CPU area to the per-thread area. Since each softirq thread now owns its own task context, nested softirq preemption no longer causes data overwrites. Note that while the temporary storage is now on a per-thread basis, the per-CPU kcov_percpu_data.lock must be retained, for we need to ensure that kcov_remote_start() and kcov_remote_stop() operate atomically without racing against asynchronous interrupts that manipulate the current task's KCOV state. It is likely that GFP_KERNEL allocation by vmalloc_node() in kcov_init() has already called panic() before returning NULL, for there will be no OOM-killable userspace processes when __init function of built-in module runs. But this patch also fixes crashing the kernel when vmalloc_node() in kcov_init() returned NULL, for kcov_init() left per-CPU irq_area == NULL but kcov_remote_start() depends on per-CPU irq_area != NULL, resulting in (1) doing vmalloc() in kcov_remote_start() despite !in_task() context (2) out-of-array-bounds access if (1) succeeded but kcov->remote_size < CONFIG_KCOV_IRQ_AREA_SIZE (3) always leak memory allocated by (1), eventually killing all OOM-killable userspace processes problems.

The event's file descriptor can remain open, however, and perf_event_open() currently accepts that event as a group leader because its early validation rejects only REVOKED and DEAD events. A new sibling can consequently be linked to the detached leader. When the leader is closed, perf_group_detach() observes that its PERF_ATTACH_GROUP bit is already clear and skips the new sibling. The sibling then retains a group_leader pointer to the freed event. Reject group leaders in the EXIT state. Perform the check while holding the shared context mutex so that an exec in the target task cannot detach the leader between validation and group attachment.
