2026-05-19sched/rt: Update default bandwidth for real-time tasks to ONEYuri Andriaccio
Set the default total bandwidth for SCHED_DEADLINE tasks and servers to ONE. FIFO/RR tasks are already throttled by fair-servers and ext-servers, and the sysctl_sched_rt_runtime parameter now only defines the total bw that is allowed to deadline entities.

2026-05-19pidfd: refuse access to tasks that have started exiting harderChristian Brauner
The recent ptrace fix closed a hole where someone could rely on task->mm becoming NULL during do_exit() to bypass dumpability checks. This api here leans on on the very same check and so inherits the fix. But there is no good reason to let it succeed at all once the target has entered do_exit(). PF_EXITING is set by exit_signals() at the very top of do_exit(), before exit_mm() and exit_files() run. Once we observe it, the task is committed to dying and exit_files() will release the fdtable shortly.

2026-05-18bpf: Check tail zero of bpf_common_attr using offsetofendLeon Hwang
Because of the 8-byte alignment, the compiler will pad struct bpf_common_attr to 24 bytes. That said, sizeof(attr_common) is 24 instead of 20. When check tail zero using sizeof(attr_common) in bpf_check_uarg_tail_zero(), there will be 4 bytes that won't be checked. To also check the padding 4 bytes, replace sizeof(attr_common) with offsetofend(struct bpf_common_attr, log_true_size).

2026-05-18sched/cache: Fix has_multi_llcs iff at least one partition has multiple LLCsChen Yu
sched_cache_present is a global static key, but build_sched_domains() is called per partition from the "Build new domains" loop in partition_sched_domains_locked(). Each call unconditionally sets the key based solely on the has_multi_llcs local variable for that partition. The call to the last partition set the value even when there are previous partitions with multiple LLCs. If partition A (multi-LLC) is built first, the key is enabled. Then when partition B (single-LLC) is built, the key is disabled. The multi-LLC partition A is still active but the key is now off. Fix it by doing a similar thing as sched_energy_present: check the multi-LLCs during the iteration over all the partitions rather than checking it on a single partition.

2026-05-18sched/cache: Fix cache aware scheduling enabling for multi LLCs systemChen Yu
If there are multiple LLCs in the system, cache aware scheduling should be enabled. However, there is a corner case where, if there is a single NUMA node and a single LLC per node, cache aware scheduling will be turned on in the current implementation - because at this moment, the parent domain has not yet been degenerated, and it is possible that the current domain has the same cpu span as its parent. There is no need to turn cache aware scheduling on in this scenario. Fix it by iterating the parent domains to find a domain that is a superset of the current sd_llc, so that later, after the duplicated parent domains have been degenerated, cache aware scheduling will take effect. For example, the expected behavior would be: 2 sockets, 1 LLC per socket: MC span=0-3, PKG span=0-7, has_multi_llcs=true 1 socket, 2 LLCs per socket: MC span=0-3, PKG span=0-7, has_multi_llcs=true 2 sockets, 2 LLCs per socket: MC span=0-3, PKG span=0-7, has_multi_llcs=true 1 socket, 1 LLC per socket: MC span=0-3, PKG span=0-3, has_multi_llcs=false This bug was reported by sashiko.

2026-05-18sched/cache: Fix race condition during sched domain rebuildChen Yu
sched_cache_active_set_unlocked() checks hardware support without locks: static void sched_cache_active_set(bool locked) { /* hardware does not support */ if (!static_branch_likely(&sched_cache_present)) { _sched_cache_active_set(false, locked); return; } ... If build_sched_domains() runs concurrently during CPU hotplug, it can disable sched_cache_present under sched_domains_mutex and the CPU hotplug lock. If a debugfs write thread evaluates sched_cache_present as true right before that, and then blocks or gets preempted, it might proceed to enable sched_cache_active after the hardware support has been marked as absent. Make it safer by acquiring cpus_read_lock() and sched_domains_mutex_lock() when the user changes sched_cache_active via debugfs. This bug was reported by sashiko.

2026-05-18sched/cache: Fix unpaired account_llc_enqueue/dequeueChen Yu
There is a race condition that, after a task is enqueued on a runqueue, task_llc(p) may change due to CPU hotplug, because the llc_id is dynamically allocated and adjusted at runtime. Therefore, checking task_llc(p) to determine whether the task is being dequeued from its preferred LLC is unreliable and can cause inconsistent values. To fix this problem, record whether p is enqueued on its preferred LLC, in order to pair with account_llc_dequeue() to maintain a consistent nr_pref_llc_running per runqueue. This bug was reported by sashiko, and the solution was once suggested by Prateek.

2026-05-18sched/cache: Annotate lockless accesses to mm->sc_stat.cpuChen Yu
mm->sc_stat.cpu is written by task_cache_work() and could be read locklessly by several functions on other CPUs. Use READ_ONCE and WRITE_ONCE on mm->sc_stat.cpu access and write to prevent inconsistent values from compiler optimizations when there are multiple accesses. For example in get_pref_llc(), if the writer updated the field between two compiler-generated loads, the validation (e.g., cpu != -1) and subsequent use (e.g., llc_id(cpu)) could operate on different values, allowing a negative CPU ID to be used as an index. Leave plain write in mm_init_sched(), where the mm is not yet visible to other CPUs. This bug was reported by sashiko.

2026-05-18sched/cache: Add user control to adjust the aggressiveness of cache-aware ↵Chen Yu
scheduling Introduce a set of debugfs knobs to control how aggressively the cache aware scheduling does the task aggregation. (1) aggr_tolerance With sched_cache enabled, the scheduler uses a process's footprint as a proxy for its LLC footprint to determine if aggregating tasks on the preferred LLC could cause cache contention. If the footprint exceeds the LLC size, aggregation is skipped. Since the kernel cannot efficiently track per-task cache usage (resctrl is user-space only), userspace can provide a more accurate hint. Introduce /sys/kernel/debug/sched/llc_balancing/aggr_tolerance to let users control how strictly footprint limits aggregation. Values range from 0 to 100: - 0: Cache-aware scheduling is disabled. - 1: Strict; tasks with footprint larger than LLC size are skipped. - >=100: Aggressive; tasks are aggregated regardless of footprint. For example, with a 32MB L3 cache: - aggr_tolerance=1 -> tasks with footprint > 32MB are skipped. - aggr_tolerance=99 -> tasks with footprint > 784GB are skipped (784GB = (1 + (99 - 1) * 256) * 32MB). Similarly, /sys/kernel/debug/sched/llc_balancing/aggr_tolerance also controls how strictly the number of active threads is considered when doing cache aware load balance. The number of SMTs is also considered. High SMT counts reduce the aggregation capacity, preventing excessive task aggregation on SMT-heavy systems like Power10/Power11. Yangyu suggested introducing separate aggregation controls for the number of active threads and memory footprint checks. Since there are plans to add per-process/task group controls, fine-grained tunables are deferred to that implementation. (2) epoch_period, epoch_affinity_timeout, imb_pct, overaggr_pct are also turned into tunables.

2026-05-18sched/cache: Avoid cache-aware scheduling for memory-heavy processesChen Yu
Prateek and Tingyin reported that memory-intensive workloads (such as stream) can saturate memory bandwidth and caches on the preferred LLC when sched_cache aggregates too many threads. To mitigate this, estimate a process's memory footprint by comparing its NUMA balancing fault statistics to the size of the LLC. If the footprint exceeds the LLC size, skip cache-aware scheduling. Note that footprint is only an approximation of the memory footprint, since the kernel lacks suitable metrics to estimate the real working set. If a user-provided hint is available in the future, it would be more accurate. A later patch will allow users to provide a hint to adjust this threshold.

2026-05-18sched/cache: Calculate the LLC size and store it in sched_domainChen Yu

Introduce a preparation patch to add get_effective_llc_bytes() to get the LLC size that a CPU can use. The function can be further enhanced by subtracting the LLC cache ways reserved by resctrl (CAT in Intel RDT, etc).

2026-05-18sched/cache: Skip cache-aware scheduling for single-threaded processesChen Yu
For a single thread, the current wakeup path tends to place it on the same LLC where it was previously running with cache-hot data. There is no need to enable cache-aware scheduling for single-threaded processes for the following reasons: 1. Cache-aware scheduling primarily benefits multi-threaded processes where threads share data. Single-threaded processes typically have no inter-thread data sharing and thus gain little. 2. Enabling it incurs the additional overhead of tracking the thread's residency in the LLCs. 3. Bypassing single-threaded processes avoids excessive concentration of such tasks on a single LLC. Nevertheless, this check can be omitted if users explicitly provide hints for such single-threaded workloads where different processes have shared memory, e.g., via prctl() or other interfaces to be added in the future.

2026-05-18sched/cache: Disable cache aware scheduling for processes with high thread ↵Chen Yu
counts A performance regression was observed by Prateek when running hackbench with many threads per process (high fd count). To avoid this, processes with a large number of active threads are excluded from cache-aware scheduling. With sched_cache enabled, record the number of active threads in each process during the periodic task_cache_work(). While iterating over CPUs, if the currently running task belongs to the same process as the task that launched task_cache_work(), increment the active thread count. If the number of active threads within the process exceeds the number of Cores (divided by the SMT number) in the LLC, do not enable cache-aware scheduling. However, on systems with a smaller number of CPUs within 1 LLC, like Power10/Power11 with SMT4 and an LLC size of 4, this check effectively disables cache-aware scheduling for any process. One possible solution suggested by Peter is to use an LLC-mask instead of a single LLC value for preference. Once there are a 'few' LLCs as preference, this constraint becomes a little easier. It could be an enhancement in the future. For users who wish to perform task aggregation regardless, a debugfs knob is provided for tuning in a subsequent change.

2026-05-18srcu: Don't queue workqueue handlers to never-online CPUsPaul E. McKenney
While an srcu_struct structure is in the midst of switching from CPU-0 to all-CPUs state, it can attempt to invoke callbacks for CPUs that have never been online. Worse yet, it can attempt in invoke callbacks for CPUs that never will be online, even including imaginary CPUs not in cpu_possible_mask. This can cause hangs on s390, which is not set up to deal with workqueue handlers being scheduled on such CPUs. This commit therefore causes Tree SRCU to refrain from queueing workqueue handlers on CPUs that have not yet (and might never) come online. Because callbacks are not invoked on CPUs that have not been online, it is an error to invoke call_srcu(), synchronize_srcu(), or synchronize_srcu_expedited() on a CPU that is not yet fully online. However, it turns out to be less code to redirect the callbacks from too-early invocations of call_srcu() than to warn about such invocations. This commit therefore also redirects callbacks queued on not-yet-fully-online CPUs to the boot CPU.

2026-05-18clocksource: Add devm_clocksource_register_*() helpersDaniel Lezcano
Introduce device-managed helpers for clocksource registration. The clocksource framework currently provides __clocksource_register_scale() along with convenience wrappers for Hz and kHz registration. However, drivers must handle error paths and cleanup manually, typically by pairing registration with an explicit clocksource_unregister() call. Add a devm-based variant, __devm_clocksource_register_scale(), along with devm_clocksource_register_hz() and devm_clocksource_register_khz() helpers. These helpers register the clocksource and attach a devres action to automatically unregister it on driver detach or probe failure. This simplifies driver code by: * removing explicit cleanup paths * ensuring correct teardown ordering * aligning with the devm-based resource management model widely used across the kernel While drivers can open-code devm_add_action_or_reset(), providing a dedicated helper avoids duplication, reduces boilerplate, and ensures consistent usage across drivers, following patterns used in other subsystems. This is also particularly useful for drivers built as modules, where device-managed resource handling avoids manual cleanup in remove paths and ensures correct teardown on module unload. This helper is self-contained and can be adopted progressively by drivers. No functional change.

2026-05-18dma-mapping: move dma_map_resource() sanity check into debug codeJianpeng Chang
dma_map_resource() uses pfn_valid() to ensure the range is not RAM. However, pfn_valid() only checks for availability of the memory map for a PFN but it does not ensure that the PFN is actually backed by RAM. On ARM64 with SPARSEMEM (128MB section granularity), MMIO addresses that share a section with RAM will falsely trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE and cause dma_map_resource() to return DMA_MAPPING_ERROR. This causes a WARNING on Raspberry Pi 4 during spi_bcm2835 probe because the SPI FIFO register (0xfe204004) falls in the same sparsemem section as the end of RAM (0xf8000000-0xfbffffff), both in section 31 (0xf8000000-0xffffffff). Move the sanity check from dma_map_resource() into debug_dma_map_phys() and replace the unreliable pfn_valid() with pfn_valid() && !PageReserved(), which correctly identifies actual usable RAM without false positives for MMIO regions that happen to have struct pages. Since dma_map_resource() is dma_map_phys(DMA_ATTR_MMIO), the check applies equally to both APIs. Any non-reserved page represents kernel memory to a sufficient degree that using DMA_ATTR_MMIO on it is almost certainly wrong and risks breaking coherency on non-coherent platforms. ZONE_DEVICE pages used for PCI P2P DMA (MEMORY_DEVICE_PCI_P2PDMA) have PageReserved set, so they will not trigger a false positive. The check no longer blocks the mapping and uses err_printk() to integrate with dma-debug filtering.

2026-05-17bpf,x86: Fix exception unwinding with outgoing stack argumentsYonghong Song
When a main program with exception_boundary has outgoing stack arguments (e.g. from calling subprogs with >5 args), bpf_throw() fails to correctly restore callee-saved registers, causing a kernel crash. The x86 JIT allocates the outgoing stack arg area below the callee-saved registers via 'sub rsp, outgoing_rsp' in the prologue. When bpf_throw() unwinds, it captures the main program's sp (which includes this outgoing area) and passes it to the exception callback. The callback gets rsp and rbp, followed by pop_callee_regs, but rsp points into the outgoing arg area rather than the callee-saved registers, so the pops restore garbage values. Returning to the kernel with corrupted callee-saved registers causes a crash. Fix this by adjusting the sp (adding stack_arg_sp_adjust) passed to the exception callback, so it points to the bottom of the callee-saved registers instead of the outgoing arg area. When stack_arg_sp_adjust is 0 (the common case), this is a no-op.

2026-05-17sched_ext: Fix deadlock between scx_root_disable() and concurrent forksTejun Heo
scx_root_disable() enters SCX_DISABLING before it grabs scx_enable_mutex to clear __scx_switched_all and scx_switching_all. task_should_scx() short-circuits on DISABLING, so forks in that window land on fair while next_active_class() still skips fair - the new tasks stall. This can deadlock the disable path itself: scx_alloc_and_add_sched() runs under scx_enable_mutex and creates a helper kthread; if that new kthread is one of the stalled fair tasks, the mutex holder waits forever and scx_root_disable() can never make progress. Only sub-sched support exposes this, since sub-sched enables are the only path where scx_alloc_and_add_sched() can race the root's disable. Move the DISABLING check after @scx_switching_all. @scx_switching_all serves as a proxy for __scx_switched_all, so while it's set, forks keep going to scx. Once cleared, DISABLING applies normally. v2: Reword in-source comment and description.

Global subprogs are verified independently and are not descended into when their callers are symbolically executed. This means a caller can hold references or locks across a global subprog call that may throw, while the verifier only checks the non-exceptional return path at the call site. Record whether a subprog might throw in the CFG summary pass, alongside the existing might_sleep and packet-data-changing summaries, and propagate that effect through reachable callees. When a global subprog is marked as possibly throwing, push the normal continuation and validate the exceptional path immediately at the call site, avoiding a synthetic exception state and associated special case in the pruning checks.

Remove a redundant stack_arg_cnt check in __bpf_prog_select_runtime() and start the stack arg loop from index 0 in bpf_fixup_call_args(). Both changes are no-ops that simplify the code: In __bpf_prog_select_runtime(), the subprog_info[0].stack_arg_cnt check is unreachable: - when there is only a main program (no bpf-to-bpf calls), subprog_info[0].stack_arg_cnt is always 0 because the main program's arg_cnt is forced to 1 - when bpf-to-bpf calls use stack args and JIT succeeds, fp->bpf_func is set and this code is skipped - when JIT fails, bpf_fixup_call_args() rejects the program before we get to __bpf_prog_select_runtime(). In bpf_fixup_call_args(), starting the loop at i=1 skipped subprog 0, which is safe since the main program always has arg_cnt=1 and thus bpf_in_stack_arg_cnt() returns 0. Starting at i=0 removes the need to reason about this invariant.

2026-05-16bpf: Validate outgoing stack args when btf_prepare_func_args failsYonghong Song
btf_prepare_func_args() sets sub->arg_cnt before validating arg types. If validation fails (e.g. unsupported pointer type in a static subprog), check_outgoing_stack_args() is skipped because btf_check_func_arg_match() returns early. For static subprogs, check_func_call() ignores non-EFAULT errors and proceeds with the call. This causes the callee to read stack arg slots that the caller never stored or not initialized, potentially dereferencing NULL caller->stack_arg_regs or getting no-initialized value. To fix the issue, when btf_prepare_func_args() fails and the subprog expects stack args, call check_outgoing_stack_args() to verify the caller initialized the slots.

2026-05-15cgroup: Defer kill_css_finish() in cgroup_apply_control_disable()Tejun Heo
Same race shape as the rmdir path that 93618edf7538 ("cgroup: Defer css percpu_ref kill on rmdir until cgroup is depopulated") fixed: a task past exit_signals() whose cset subsys[ssid] still pins the disabled controller's css can be touching subsys state while ->css_offline() runs. The earlier patches in this series built up the per-subsys-css deferral machinery and routed cgroup_destroy_locked() through it. Apply the same shape to cgroup_apply_control_disable(): kill_css_sync(css); if (!css_is_populated(css)) kill_css_finish(css); When the dying css is still populated, kill_css_finish() is deferred. The walker in css_update_populated() fires kill_finish_work once the css's hierarchical populated count drops to zero. cgroup_lock_and_drain_offline()'s wait predicate switches from percpu_ref_is_dying() to css_is_dying(). CSS_DYING is set by kill_css_sync() and is a strict superset of percpu_ref_is_dying. Without this change, a +cpu re-enable after a deferred -cpu disable would skip the drain (percpu_ref isn't killed yet) and observe the still-CSS_DYING css through cgroup_css(), treating it as live.

2026-05-15cgroup: Add per-subsys-css kill_css_finish deferralTejun Heo
93618edf7538 ("cgroup: Defer css percpu_ref kill on rmdir until cgroup is depopulated") deferred kill_css_finish() at the cgroup level: rmdir waits for the entire cgroup's populated count to drop to zero, then fires kill_css_finish() on every subsystem css at once. Replace that with per-subsys-css deferral. Each subsystem css now tracks its own hierarchical populated count and independently defers its kill_css_finish() until its own subtree drains. The rmdir-race fix carries through unchanged in shape. The dying css's ->css_offline() still waits until no PF_EXITING task references it, and v2's cgroup-level machinery goes away. cgroup_apply_control_disable() has the same race shape (PF_EXITING tasks pinning a css whose ->css_offline() is about to run) and stays synchronous here. This patch lays the groundwork for fixing it - per-cgroup waiting can't gate one subsys css being killed while the rest of the cgroup stays live, but per-css can. Subtree-wide invariant preserved: a dying ancestor css stays populated through nr_populated_children until every dying descendant's task drains, so the walker fires the ancestor's kill_finish_work only after all descendants have drained. Add paired smp_mb()s in kill_css_sync() and css_update_populated() to fence the StoreLoad on (CSS_DYING, populated counter), guaranteeing that either the walker queues kill_finish_work or the caller fires synchronously. cgroup_destroy_locked() was implicitly fenced by an unrelated css_set_lock pair; cgroup_apply_control_disable() in the next patch is not.

2026-05-15cgroup: Move populated counters to cgroup_subsys_stateTejun Heo
Later patches replace the cgroup-level finish_destroy_work deferral added by 93618edf7538 ("cgroup: Defer css percpu_ref kill on rmdir until cgroup is depopulated") with a per-subsys-css deferral. That needs each subsystem css to track its own populated count. Move the populated counters from cgroup onto cgroup_subsys_state. cgroup->self is itself a cgroup_subsys_state and self.parent walks the same chain as cgroup_parent(), so cgroup_update_populated() generalizes to a single css_update_populated() taking a css. The cgroup-side bookkeeping runs only when the walk started from a self css. Keep nr_populated_{domain,threaded}_children on cgroup. Both sum to self.nr_populated_children, but staying as dedicated fields to allow readers like cgroup_can_be_thread_root() unlocked access. css_set_update_populated() also walks the per-subsys-css chain so each subsystem css's hierarchical populated count is maintained. No reader consumes those counts yet. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

2026-05-14bug/kunit: Core support for suppressing warning backtracesAlessandro Carminati
Some unit tests intentionally trigger warning backtraces by passing bad parameters to kernel API functions. Such unit tests typically check the return value from such calls, not the existence of the warning backtrace. Such intentionally generated warning backtraces are neither desirable nor useful for a number of reasons: - They can result in overlooked real problems. - A warning that suddenly starts to show up in unit tests needs to be investigated and has to be marked to be ignored, for example by adjusting filter scripts. Such filters are ad hoc because there is no real standard format for warnings. On top of that, such filter scripts would require constant maintenance. Solve the problem by providing a means to suppress warning backtraces originating from the current kthread while executing test code. Since each KUnit test runs in its own kthread, this effectively scopes suppression to the test that enabled it. Limit changes to generic code to the absolute minimum. Implementation details: Suppression is integrated into the existing KUnit hooks infrastructure in test-bug.h, reusing the kunit_running static branch for zero overhead when no tests are running. Suppression is checked at three points in the warning path: - In warn_slowpath_fmt(), the check runs before any output, fully suppressing both message and backtrace. This covers architectures without __WARN_FLAGS. - In __warn_printk(), the check suppresses the warning message text. This covers architectures that define __WARN_FLAGS but not their own __WARN_printf (arm64, loongarch, parisc, powerpc, riscv, sh), where the message is printed before the trap enters __report_bug(). - In __report_bug(), the check runs before __warn() is called, suppressing the backtrace and stack dump. To avoid double-counting on architectures where both __warn_printk() and __report_bug() run for the same warning, kunit_is_suppressed_warning() takes a bool parameter: true to increment the suppression counter (used in warn_slowpath_fmt and __report_bug), false to check only (used in __warn_printk). The suppression state is dynamically allocated via kunit_kzalloc() and tied to the KUnit test lifecycle via kunit_add_action(), ensuring automatic cleanup at test exit. Writer-side access to the global suppression list is serialized with a spinlock; readers use RCU. Two API forms are provided: - kunit_warning_suppress(test) { ... }: scoped, uses __cleanup for automatic teardown on scope exit, kunit_add_action() as safety net for abnormal exits (e.g. kthread_exit from failed assertions). Suppression handle is only accessible inside the block. - kunit_start/end_suppress_warning(test): direct functions returning an explicit handle, for retaining the handle within the test, or for cross-function usage.

2026-05-14ptrace: slightly saner 'get_dumpable()' logicLinus Torvalds
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.

percpu_array_map_ops.map_meta_equal points to the generic bpf_map_meta_equal(), which does not compare max_entries. When a percpu array serves as an inner map, replacing it with one that has fewer max_entries bypasses the check. Since percpu_array_map_gen_lookup() inlines the original template's index_mask as a JIT immediate, a lookup on the replacement map can access pptrs[] out of bounds. Point percpu_array_map_ops.map_meta_equal to array_map_meta_equal(), which already enforces the max_entries equality check.

2026-05-14slab: support for compiler-assisted type-based slab cache partitioningMarco Elver
Rework the general infrastructure around RANDOM_KMALLOC_CACHES into more flexible KMALLOC_PARTITION_CACHES, with the former being a partitioning mode of the latter. Introduce a new mode, KMALLOC_PARTITION_TYPED, which leverages a feature available in Clang 22 and later, called "allocation tokens" via __builtin_infer_alloc_token() [1]. Unlike KMALLOC_PARTITION_RANDOM (formerly RANDOM_KMALLOC_CACHES), this mode deterministically assigns a slab cache to an allocation of type T, regardless of allocation site. The builtin __builtin_infer_alloc_token(<malloc-args>, ...) instructs the compiler to infer an allocation type from arguments commonly passed to memory-allocating functions and returns a type-derived token ID. The implementation passes kmalloc-args to the builtin: the compiler performs best-effort type inference, and then recognizes common patterns such as `kmalloc(sizeof(T), ...)`, `kmalloc(sizeof(T) * n, ...)`, but also `(T *)kmalloc(...)`. Where the compiler fails to infer a type the fallback token (default: 0) is chosen. Note: kmalloc_obj(..) APIs fix the pattern how size and result type are expressed, and therefore ensures there's not much drift in which patterns the compiler needs to recognize. Specifically, kmalloc_obj() and friends expand to `(TYPE *)KMALLOC(__obj_size, GFP)`, which the compiler recognizes via the cast to TYPE*. Clang's default token ID calculation is described as [1]: typehashpointersplit: This mode assigns a token ID based on the hash of the allocated type's name, where the top half ID-space is reserved for types that contain pointers and the bottom half for types that do not contain pointers. Separating pointer-containing objects from pointerless objects and data allocations can help mitigate certain classes of memory corruption exploits [2]: attackers who gains a buffer overflow on a primitive buffer cannot use it to directly corrupt pointers or other critical metadata in an object residing in a different, isolated heap region. It is important to note that heap isolation strategies offer a best-effort approach, and do not provide a 100% security guarantee, albeit achievable at relatively low performance cost. Note that this also does not prevent cross-cache attacks: while waiting for future features like SLAB_VIRTUAL [3] to provide physical page isolation, this feature should be deployed alongside SHUFFLE_PAGE_ALLOCATOR and init_on_free=1 to mitigate cross-cache attacks and page-reuse attacks as much as possible today. With all that, my kernel (x86 defconfig) shows me a histogram of slab cache object distribution per /proc/slabinfo (after boot): <slab cache> <objs> <hist> kmalloc-part-15 1465 ++++++++++++++ kmalloc-part-14 2988 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ kmalloc-part-13 1656 ++++++++++++++++ kmalloc-part-12 1045 ++++++++++ kmalloc-part-11 1697 ++++++++++++++++ kmalloc-part-10 1489 ++++++++++++++ kmalloc-part-09 965 +++++++++ kmalloc-part-08 710 +++++++ kmalloc-part-07 100 + kmalloc-part-06 217 ++ kmalloc-part-05 105 + kmalloc-part-04 4047 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ kmalloc-part-03 183 + kmalloc-part-02 283 ++ kmalloc-part-01 316 +++ kmalloc 1422 ++++++++++++++ The above /proc/slabinfo snapshot shows me there are 6673 allocated objects (slabs 00 - 07) that the compiler claims contain no pointers or it was unable to infer the type of, and 12015 objects that contain pointers (slabs 08 - 15). On a whole, this looks relatively sane. Additionally, when I compile my kernel with -Rpass=alloc-token, which provides diagnostics where (after dead-code elimination) type inference failed, I see 186 allocation sites where the compiler failed to identify a type (down from 966 when I sent the RFC [4]). Some initial review confirms these are mostly variable sized buffers, but also include structs with trailing flexible length arrays.

2026-05-13bpf: Report maximum combined stack depthPaul Chaignon
We've hit the 512 bytes limit on stack depth a few times in Cilium recently. As a result, we started reporting in CI our current maximum stack depth across all configurations for each BPF program. Unfortunately, that is not trivial to compute in userspace. The verifier reports the stack depths of individual subprogs at the end of the logs. However the maximum combined stack depth also depends on the callgraph of those subprogs (the max combined stack depth is the height of the callgraph weighted by per-subprog stack depths). We can compute a callgraph in userspace from the loaded instructions, but it often doesn't match the verifier's own callgraph because of dead code elimination. Our current approach relies on dumping the BPF_LOG_LEVEL2 logs, but this feels overkill considering the verifier already has the information we need. The patch lets the verifier dump the maximum combined stack depth in the logs, on the same line as the per-subprog stack depths: stack depth 16+256 max 272 The per-subprog stack depths and the new max stack depth are not directly comparable. The former is sometimes updated during fixups, while the latter is not. As a result, even with a single subprog, we may end up with two slightly different values. The aim of the new max value is to be closest to what is actually enforced by the verifier.
