scx_process_sync_ecaps() consumes ecaps syncs while the sched is bypassing
without delivering ops.sub_ecaps_updated(), leaving reported_ecaps stale.
Nothing re-queued a sync when bypass lifted, so a cid whose caps never
change again would never be notified. Attach-time initial grants hit this
every time: they are consumed during the enable bypass window, so a sched
never learned its initial effective caps through the callback.
Re-queue a sync for every (sched, cpu) with an undelivered delta at the
per-cpu bypass exit in scx_bypass(), next to the idle renotify catch-up. The
next balance on the cpu then delivers the pending delta with proper dispatch
context.

__scx_update_idle() notified only the root scheduler. A sub-scheduler that
holds a cid needs that cid's idle state to place and kick on it.
Deliver ops.update_idle() to every scheduler that holds SCX_CAP_BASE on the
transitioning cid. The root holds every cap, so a real transition always
reaches it.
Real transitions are not enough on their own. A cid that is already idle
when a sub-sched gains baseline access produces no transition, so the new
holder would never learn it is idle. The ecaps sync arms a re-notify on the
gain, and the next idle pick delivers ops.update_idle() to just that sched,
leaving holders that already track the cpu untouched. A matching loss of
baseline access drops any pending re-notify.
Bypass suppresses ops.update_idle() too, so a cpu that goes idle during a
bypass window and stays idle yields no transition to re-deliver on
un-bypass. Arm the same re-notify for every sched leaving bypass. The acute
case is a child granted cids during its own ops.sub_attach(). The grant
lands while the child is bypassed and the notify walk skips it, so on
un-bypass it holds cids it never saw go idle. The root is owed the same and
is armed through a separate per-rq flag, which keeps this working when
sub-schedulers are compiled out.

scx_local_or_reject_dsq() authorizes a local-DSQ insert against the caps
of the scheduler doing the insert. On the consume/dispatch paths that is
the scheduler running balance_one(), passed down through
scx_consume_dispatch_q() and move_local_task_to_local_dsq(), so the check
is correct.
The remote-move path loses it. move_remote_task_to_local_dsq()
re-activates @p on the destination rq through enqueue_task_scx(), which
reconstructs the scheduler from the task, i.e. @p's owner. When an
ancestor places a descendant's task - e.g. draining a bypassed
sub-scheduler - the owner is a sub-scheduler of the placer, so
authorizing against the owner checks a narrower cap set and can
spuriously reject a task the placer is entitled to run.
Carry the placing scheduler across the activate_task() boundary the same
way enq_flags already are, via a per-rq field set only for the duration
of the re-activation, and have scx_local_or_reject_dsq() authorize
against it. The placer's caps are a superset of the owner's, so this
admits what the placer may run and keeps rejecting what it may not.

A kick forces a scheduling event on the target cpu, and a preemption also
evicts the running task. Gate both on caps. Any kick requires baseline
access on the cid, and preempting a task the sub-sched does not own -
whether by a SCX_ENQ_PREEMPT insert or a SCX_KICK_PREEMPT kick - requires
the new SCX_CAP_PREEMPT. Gating either alone would leave a hole - the
weakest cap authorizing preempting kicks, or plain kicks disturbing cpus the
kicker has no access to.
Preempting the sched's own subtree is always allowed, and the cap extends
the right to any task on the cid. PREEMPT implies ENQ, and so ENQ_IMMED.
A preempting insert tests the running task under the target rq lock and is
rejected and reenqueued unless the victim is in the inserter's subtree or it
holds PREEMPT. A migration-disabled task is admitted regardless, but with
SCX_ENQ_PREEMPT stripped.
Kicks are enforced on the delivery path, where the effective caps can be
read coherently under the target rq's lock. A kick from a sub-sched lacking
SCX_CAP_BASE on the cid is dropped, and a SCX_KICK_PREEMPT kick without
PREEMPT for a task outside the kicker's subtree degrades to a plain
reschedule.
Unlike the enqueue caps, PREEMPT is checked only at the instant of the
insert or kick, never as a standing property of a queued task.

Add SCX_CAP_ENQ, which gates inserting tasks onto a cid's local DSQ. Unlike
IMMED enqueue, plain enqueues can pile up, so ENQ is the stronger cap and
implies ENQ_IMMED. Losing ENQ also triggers the reenq scan. The scan tests
each queued task and the running task against the cap each needs via
scx_caps_for_task(), so an ENQ-only loss reenqueues plain tasks, evicting a
running one, while IMMED tasks, which need only ENQ_IMMED, stay put.

A task's slice grants it cpu occupancy - how long it holds its cpu. In a
sub-scheduler hierarchy cpu access is delegated through revocable
capabilities, so a task's occupancy must follow them. Only its own scheduler
sets its slice, and extending the slice is allowed only while that scheduler
holds baseline cpu access (SCX_CAP_BASE) on the cpu. Otherwise a scheduler
could keep occupying a cpu it has been denied simply by handing out long
slices.
The cap check reads effective caps, which are coherent only under the task's
rq lock, and the kernel decrements the slice under that lock as the task
runs, so a running task's slice can be changed only there while a queued
task's can be set directly. Make scx_bpf_task_set_slice() apply the slice
under the rq lock. Synchronously when the caller already holds it, otherwise
by stashing it in the new p->scx.slice_oob, tagged with the scheduler's id
so a request that outlived a reassignment is dropped. Whether the caller
holds @p's current rq lock is tested with p->scx.runnable_cpu.
Revocation is enforced through the same grant. When a cpu's effective caps
lose SCX_CAP_BASE, the cap-revoke reenq scan also checks the running task
and zeroes its slice to evict it. The scan runs as a balance callback after
the pick, so this catches both the task that was running when the revoke
landed and a capless task the pick just promoted off the local DSQ. The
paths that keep a task on its cpu - holding on to the last runnable task in
balance, the ENQ_LAST reinsertion and the slice refill on pick - skip tasks
lacking baseline access. A migration-disabled task is exempt, mirroring its
capless admission on insert.

Add p->scx.runnable_cpu, the cpu @p is runnable on, or -1 when it is not.
It is stamped as @p joins the runnable_list (set_task_runnable()) and
cleared as it leaves (clr_task_runnable()), both under the rq lock.
task_cpu() can't answer "is @p on this rq" reliably: a remote wakeup changes
it under @p's pi_lock alone, without the source rq lock, so it can read as
the locked rq while @p is really elsewhere. runnable_cpu changes only under
the rq lock, so a caller holding an rq lock can compare against it to know
whether that is @p's current rq.

Replace the __SCX_CAP_DUMMY placeholder with SCX_CAP_ENQ_IMMED, which gates
inserting IMMED tasks onto a cid's local DSQ. An IMMED enqueue is guaranteed
to either get its task running on the cpu at once or hand it back to the
scheduler, so IMMED work can never pile up on the cpu's queue and a cpu can
be shared across sub-scheds through IMMED access without any of them
swamping it.
That makes ENQ_IMMED the natural baseline, the minimal cap to make any use
of a cpu. SCX_CAP_BASE aliases it so gates on basic cpu access can state the
intention instead of naming ENQ_IMMED.
Enforcement covers inserts and queued tasks. An insert without the cap is
diverted to the reject DSQ, and queued tasks are reenqueued when the cap is
lost. scx_bpf_sub_dispatch() skips a child that lacks the cap on the cpu, as
its inserts would only be rejected. Vacating the running task on cap loss
lands in a later patch.

When a sub-scheduler dispatches a task to a CPU it lacks the required
capability on, the task must be rejected rather than allowed to run.
Add the machinery for that. Each rq gets a reject DSQ, a kernel-internal
holding queue that is never run and that the BPF scheduler cannot reach. An
insert that must be refused is diverted there instead of the local DSQ, and
a deferred requeue then hands the parked tasks back to the BPF scheduler to
re-decide. A cap revoke extends this to already-queued tasks. When the
revoke reaches the cpu's effective caps, the cpu scans its local DSQ and
reenqueues the tasks that no longer qualify.
A migration-disabled task must run on its cpu, so a capless one is admitted
anyway and counted in the new SCX_EV_SUB_FORCED_ADMIT event.
This is preparation for the actual sub-sched cap enforcement. The divert is
wired but inert here.

A sub-scheduler that gains or loses effective caps on a cpu may want to act
on it right away - e.g. place or preempt on a newly usable cpu. The existing
ops.sub_caps_updated() doesn't fit as it is delivered asynchronously to
scheduling operations and can arrive before the per-cpu effective caps go
live.
Add ops.sub_ecaps_updated(cid, before, after), a cid-form callback fired
from scx_process_sync_ecaps() when a sub-sched's effective caps on a cid
change. It runs in dispatch context so the sched can insert, kick or preempt
on the cid directly. @before is the caps as of the last delivery.
Cpu hotplug rides the same machinery. Going down zeroes each sched's ecaps
on the cpu's cid, with queued syncs discarded at consumption while the cpu
is inactive. Coming back up queues a sync for every sched. reported_ecaps is
kept across the down/up cycle, so the resync fires the callback only if
ownership actually changed while the cpu was down.

Checking a sched's caps on a cid would need to test several cap bits against
caps[] to account for implied caps. Also, caps[] modifications aren't
synchronized against scheduling operations on each cpu, which can lead to
awkward race conditions.
Collect them per cpu instead. caps[] under pshard->lock stays the target
configuration. scx_sched_pcpu->ecaps is added, the transposed effective
copy: the set of cap bits the sched holds on that cpu which can be accessed
with a single read. It is stable under the rq lock. It can also be read
locklessly with READ_ONCE().
Grant and revoke only mutate caps[]. They queue a sync request on the target
cpu's rq->scx.ecaps_to_sync and kick it, and the cpu recomputes the queued
scheds' ecaps from caps[] in balance_one() under its own rq lock. A dying
sched runs the sync directly to retire its queued request before freeing. As
held references can defer the freeing past the enclosing root scheduler's
lifetime, root enable discards leftover sync requests before going live.

Wire up ops_cid.sub_caps_updated() to notify sub-scheds of cap changes.
Three constraints shape the design:
1. Static memory. Deliveries use a fixed-size buffer, both for runtime
efficiency and so notifications can't be lost under memory pressure.
2. High-frequency updates. Grant/revoke can mutate caps in bursts, and the
notifier path must absorb that without amplifying it.
3. Recursive grant/revoke from the callback. A child receiving a
notification can call grant/revoke on its own children, which can
cascade recursively down its subtree.
(1) and (2) lead to coalescing into a fixed payload. Each delivery carries a
single (cmask, caps) pair covering every change since the previous one.
Direction (set vs cleared) isn't encoded as it doesn't fit in the fixed-size
summary. The callback queries scx_bpf_sub_caps() for current state. Only one
delivery is in flight per shard. Further changes fold into the same buffer
and ship as the next callback, so a shard's callbacks fire in order.
(3) leads to deferred delivery. Events accumulate during grant/revoke and
are delivered after the shard lock is released.

Caps are per-cid permissions parents delegate to direct children via
scx_bpf_sub_grant() / scx_bpf_sub_revoke(). A child's cap set is always a
subset of its parent's. Sub-scheds check their caps locally, and cross-sched
communication is needed only when the delegation set itself changes.
Caps will be used to implement sub-sched scheduling on the enqueue path.
Picking a cid for a task at a leaf depends on which cids the leaf is allowed
to use, and resolving that programmatically on every enqueue would mean a
cross-sched round-trip call chain, possibly retrying if the request can't be
granted as-is. The dispatch path is different - it runs as top-down
recursion via scx_bpf_sub_dispatch().
Locking is per shard. cid space is split into shards, and each sub-sched has
its own pshard->lock for each shard. Operations are broken up on shard
boundaries. Different shards never contend. Shards are expected to be
topology-aligned and likely to serve as the locality unit when cids are
allocated to schedulers, so per-shard lock granularity scales naturally with
the allocation pattern.
This patch adds the framework with a single dummy cap. Real caps land in
later patches.
The enable path is reordered for pshards. scx_arena_pool_init() moves ahead
of scx_link_sched() so the pshards are allocated before the sched becomes
reachable - scx_alloc_pshards() skips allocation when the arena pool isn't
initialized.
- scx_bpf_sub_grant(): Per-cid all-or-nothing grant to direct child.
- scx_bpf_sub_revoke(): Clear caps on @cmask across @child and its subtree.
- scx_bpf_sub_caps(): Lockless snapshot of caps on a cid range.

Add scx_cmask_ref, a validated handle. _init() normalizes the input pointer

exceed the declared @alloc_words. Downstream sizing uses the snapshot, not
the live header. _shard() reads slices while _or() and _copy() write back,
all bounded by the snapshot. No callers yet.
struct scx_cmask's bits[] carried __counted_by(alloc_words), so
UBSAN_BOUNDS and FORTIFY_SOURCE bound accesses to the array. That bound is
read from @alloc_words at the access. For an arena cmask @alloc_words is
BPF-writable. A prog that sets it larger than the real allocation makes the
check pass on a genuine overrun, so the annotation catches nothing, and it
only runs under those debug configs. Drop it - _init() validates

A per-task op must be dispatched on the scheduler that owns the task.
SCX_CALL_OP_TASK() and its _RET twin take @sch explicitly, and a caller that
passes the wrong scheduler would silently run the op on it. Add a
WARN_ON_ONCE() that @sch matches the task's owner so such a mismatch is
caught rather than hidden.
Two sites legitimately target a scheduler other than the task's owner:
cgroup_move() runs on the root sched, and scx_sub_init_cancel_task() fires
exit_task() on a task not yet associated with @sch. Both switch to the inner
__SCX_CALL_OP_TASK(), which dispatches on the explicit @sch without the
assert.

restore_dm_crypt_keys_to_thread_keyring() gets a reference to the user
keyring before restoring the saved dm-crypt keys.
The same keyring reference is then passed to add_key_to_keyring() for each
saved key, but add_key_to_keyring() drops that reference on every call.
This is only balanced when exactly one key is restored. With multiple
keys, the keyring reference is dropped too many times and may trigger a
refcount underflow or use-after-free.
When more than five keys are restored, a refcount underflow/use-after-free
warning can be triggered.
The early error paths after lookup_user_key() also return without dropping
the keyring reference.
Keep ownership of the keyring reference in
restore_dm_crypt_keys_to_thread_keyring(), drop it once on all exit paths,
and make add_key_to_keyring() only use the reference without consuming it.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Free field in error path of synthetic event parse
In __create_synth_event() the field was allocated but was not freed
in the error path
- Fix ring_buffer_event_length() on 8 byte aligned architectures
On architectures with CONFIG_HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS set to y, the
ring_buffer_event_length() may return the wrong size. This is because
archs with that config set will always use the "big event meta
header" as that is 8 bytes keeping the payload 8 bytes aligned, even
when a 4 byte header could hold the size of the event
But ring_buffer_event_length() doesn't take this into account and
only subtracts 4 bytes for the meta header in the length when it
should have subtracted 8 bytes
- Have osnoise wait for a full rcu synchronization on unregister
osnoise_unregister_instance() used to call synchronize_rcu() before
freeing its copy of the instance but was switched to kfree_rcu(). The
osniose tracer has code that traverses the instances that it uses,
and inst is just a pointer to that instance. By using kfree_rcu()
instead of synchronize_rcu(), the instance that the inst pointer is
pointing to can be freed while the osnoise code is still referencing
it
That is, a rmdir on an instance first unregisters the tracer. When
the unregister finishes, the rmdir expects that the tracer is
finished with the instance that it is using. By putting back the
synchronize_rcu() in osnoise_unregister_instance() the unregistering
of osnoise will now return when all the users of the instance have
finished
- Remove an unused setting of "ret" in tracing_set_tracer()
- Fix ring_buffer_read_page() copying events
The commit that changed ring_buffer_read_page() to show dropped
events from the buffer itself, split the "commit" variable between
the commit value (with flags) and "size" that holds the size of the
sub-buffer. A cut and paste error changed the test of the reading
from checking the size of the buffer to the size of the event causing
reads to only read one event at a time
- Make tracepoint_printk a static variable
When the tracing sysctl knobs were move from sysctl.c to trace.c, the
variable tracepoint_printk no longer needed to be global. Make it
static
- Fix some typos
- Fix NULL pointer dereference in func_set_flag()
The flags update of the function tracer first checks if the value of
the flag is the same and exits if they are, and then it checks if the
current tracer is the function tracer and exits if it isn't. The
problem is that these checks need to be in a reversed order, as if
the tracer isn't the function tracer, then the flag being checked may
not exist. Reverse the order of these checks
- Fix ufs core trace events to not dereference a pointer in TP_printk()
The TP_printk() part of the TRACE_EVENT() macro is called when the
user reads the "trace" file. This can be seconds, minutes, hours,
days, weeks, and even months after the data was recorded into the
ring buffer. Thus, saving a pointer to an object into the ring buffer
and then dereferencing it from TP_printk() can cause harm as the
object the pointer is pointing to may no longer exist
Fix all the trace events in ufs core to save the device name in the
ring buffer instead of dereferencing the device descriptor from
TP_printk()
- Prevent out-of-bound reads in glob matching of trace events
The filter logic of events allows simple glob logic to add wild cards
to filter on strings. But some events have fields that may not have a
terminating 'nul' character. This may cause the glob matching to go
beyond the string. Change the logic to always pass in the length of
the field that is being matched
- Add no-rcu-check version of trace_##event##_enabled()
The trace_##event##_enabled() usually wraps trace events to do extra
work that is only needed when the trace event is enabled. But this
can hide events that are placed in locations where RCU is not
watching, and can make lockdep not see these bugs when the event is
not enabled
The trace_##event##_enabled() was updated to always test to make sure
RCU is watching to catch locations that may call events without RCU
being active
This caused a false positive for the irq_disabled() and related
events. As that use trace_irq_disabled_enabled() to force RCU to be
watching when the event is enabled via the ct_irq_enter() function,
calls the event, and then calls ct_irq_exit() to put RCU back to its
original state
The trace_irq_disabled_enabled() should not trigger a warning when
RCU is not watching because the code within its block handles the
case properly. Make a __trace_##event##_enabled() version for this
event to use that doesn't check RCU is watching as it handles the
case when it isn't
- Fix use-after-free in user_event_mm_dup()
When the enabler is removed from the link list, it is freed
immediately. But it is protected via RCU and needs to be freed after
an RCU grace period. Use queue_rcu_work() so that the event_mutex can
also be taken as user_event_put() takes the mutex on the last
reference is released
- Free type string in error path of parse_synth_field()
There's an error path in parse_synth_field() where the allocated type
string is not freed
- Add selftest that tests deferred event teardown
- Fix leak in error path of trace_remote_alloc_buffer()
If page allocation fails, the desc->nr_cpus is not incremented for
the current CPU and the allocations done for it are not freed
- Fix allocation length in trace_remote_alloc_buffer()
The logic to calculate the struct_len was doing a double count and
setting the value too large. Calculate the size upfront to fix the
error and simplify the logic
- Fix sparse CPU masks in ring_buffer_desc()
If there are sparse CPUs (gaps in the numbering), the
ring_buffer_desc() will fail as it tests the CPU number against the
number of CPUs that are used

The return value of __secure_computing() currently uses 0 to indicate
that a system call should be allowed, and -1 to indicate that it should
be blocked/killed. This 0/-1 pattern is non-intuitive for a security
check function and makes the control flow at the call sites less readable.
Furthermore, any potential future changes to these return values would
require a high-risk, error-prone audit of all its users across different
architectures.
Sanitize this logic by converting the return type of __secure_computing()
to a proper boolean, where 'true' explicitly means 'allow' and 'false'
means 'fail/deny'.
Update all the two dozen or so call sites across the tree to align with
this new boolean semantic. No functional changes are intended, as the
callers still return -1 to the lower-level assembly entry code upon
seccomp denial.
Rename the function to __seccomp_permit_syscall() so that the purpose is
entirely clear.

bpf_cpumask_populate() writes to its destination with bitmap_copy(), but
the destination is typed as struct cpumask *. That allows the verifier to
accept borrowed cpumask pointers returned by read-only kfuncs, such as
scx_bpf_get_online_cpumask(), as a writable destination.
Make the destination a struct bpf_cpumask * so populate follows the same
ownership rule as the other mutating cpumask kfuncs. Query kfuncs continue

When switching a task's sched_class away from sched_ext, we get the
following sequence of events in __sched_setscheduler():
sched_change_begin()
switched_from_scx()
scx_disable_task(p)
ops.disable(p)
__setscheduler_params()
set_load_weight()
reweight_task_scx(p)
ops.set_weight(p)
p->sched_class = next_class;
sched_change_end()
...
Notably, ops.set_weight() is called _after_ ops.disable().
This violates the expected semantics of the callbacks, the expectation
being that ops.disable() can only be followed by ops.exit_task() or
ops.enable().
Skipping the weight adjustment for disabled tasks should be harmless
since the weight will be recalculated in scx_enable_task() if the task
ever rejoins SCX.

map_range() reads rb->aux_pages[], rb->aux_nr_pages and rb->aux_pgoff via
perf_mmap_to_page() while holding only event->mmap_mutex. Those fields are
serialized by rb->aux_mutex, and mmap_mutex is per event.
Thus, two events sharing one rb via PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT can race
rb_alloc_aux() with map_range(), leading to a page-UAF scenario as follows:
CPU 0 CPU 1
===== =====
rb_alloc_aux() map_range()
[1]: allocate rb->aux_pages[0]
[2]: rb->aux_nr_pages++
[3]: perf_mmap_to_page()
returns rb->aux_pages[0]
[4]: map it as VM_PFNMAP
[5]: rb->aux_pgoff = 1
munmap the page
[6]: free rb->aux_pages[0]
Pages mapped as VM_PFNMAP have no refcount protection, so CPU 1 holds a
mapping to a freed physical frame.
Fix this by taking rb->aux_mutex across the page walk in map_range().

time_offset (the exponential PLL phase slew) and time_adjust (the
linear adjtime() slew) can be asked to move the clock in opposite
directions. second_overflow() folds only their *net* into the per-tick
skew_delta, so the cancelling overlap would never be drained from
either tracker by the per-tick code — and if they cancel exactly,
skew_delta is zero and neither converges at all.
Arguably we could just let one of them entirely cancel out the other
immediately, but that would be a change in userspace-visible behaviour.
Instead, preserve the existing behaviour by calculating the "conflict"
portion between the opposing skew each second, and transferring that
amount directly from one tracker to the other.
