2026-07-07genirq: Remove unnecessary NULL check of the kstat_irqs fieldRadu Rendec
The kstat_irqs field of struct irq_desc is used to store a per-cpu count of interrupt events. It is initialized in init_desc(), along with all the other fields in struct irq_desc that need explicit initialization, and therefore it's always available (non-NULL) for any valid interrupt descriptor (with a caveat - see below). When CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ is enabled, all interrupt descriptors are always allocated dynamically via alloc_desc(), which calls init_desc(), so in that case kstat_irqs is guaranteed to be non-NULL before a valid struct irq_desc pointer is even returned. By contrast, when CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ is disabled, interrupt descriptors are allocated statically in the irq_desc[] array, and kstat_irqs is initialized implicitly to NULL. The per-cpu pointer is initialized only later, for all descriptors, via start_kernel() -> early_irq_init() -> init_desc(). The kstat_irqs field is used mostly for printing interrupt statistics (i.e. reading /proc/interrupts), and that cannot happen until much later, when user-space is fully initialized. So, there is no concern with that use case. The list below includes all functions where the NULL check is removed, along with a list of all possible call chains and/or a brief explanation of why it's safe to remove the NULL check in that case. * irq_desc_kstat_cpu() [include/linux/irqdesc.h] - All direct call sites use it for printing IRQ statistics. - Indirect call site: per_cpu_count_show() - also used for printing interruptstatistics. * kstat_irqs_cpu() [kernel/irq/irqdesc.c] - Called by sun3_int7() and sun3_int5() [arch/m68k/sun3/sun3ints.c] These are interrupt handlers and cannot be called until their corresponding interrupts are initialized in sun3_init_IRQ(). The call chain leading to that is: start_kernel() -> init_IRQ() [arch/m68k/kernel/ints.c] -> mach_init_IRQ = sun3_init_IRQ() The init_IRQ() call happens right *after* the early_irq_init() call, which means the descriptors are already fully initialized by the time the interrupt handlers are even registered. - Called by show_interrupts() [arch/s390/kernel/irq.c] - used for printing interrupt statistics. * kstat_irqs() [kernel/irq/irqdesc.c] The only possible call chain is via fs/proc/stat.c: stat_open() -> show_stat() -> show_all_irqs() -> kstat_irqs_usr() -> kstat_irqs() It is used for printing interrupt statistics. * kstat_snapshot_irqs() The only possible call chain is via kernel/watchdog.c: watchdog_timer_fn() -> is_softlockup() -> start_counting_irqs() -> kstat_snapshot_irqs() The watchdog timer cannot fire early, before early_irq_init(). * kstat_get_irq_since_snapshot() The only possible call chain is via kernel/watchdog.c: watchdog_timer_fn() -> report_cpu_status() -> print_irq_counts() -> kstat_get_irq_since_snapshot() The watchdog timer cannot fire early, before early_irq_init().

2026-07-07tracing/user_events: Fix use-after-free in user_event_mm_dup()Michael Bommarito
user_event_mm_dup() walks the parent mm's enabler list locklessly under rcu_read_lock() during fork() (from copy_process()); it does not take event_mutex: rcu_read_lock(); list_for_each_entry_rcu(enabler, &old_mm->enablers, mm_enablers_link) enabler->event = user_event_get(orig->event); user_event_enabler_destroy() removes an enabler from that list with list_del_rcu() and then, without waiting for a grace period, drops the enabler's user_event reference with user_event_put() and frees the enabler with kfree(). A reader that loaded the enabler before the list_del_rcu() can still be walking it, which leads to two use-after-frees: - kfree(enabler) frees the enabler while that reader dereferences enabler->event. - user_event_put() may drop the last reference to the user_event, which is then freed (via delayed_destroy_user_event() on a work queue), while the same reader does user_event_get(orig->event) on it. Both are reachable by an unprivileged task that can open user_events_data: one multithreaded process that registers an enabler and then concurrently unregisters it and calls fork() triggers the race. KASAN reports a slab-use-after-free in user_event_mm_dup() during clone(), with a "refcount_t: addition on 0" warning when the user_event is freed. The enabler use-after-free was found first; the user_event one was reported by XIAO WU, and the earlier enabler-only fix did not address it. Defer both the user_event_put() and the kfree(enabler) to a work item queued with queue_rcu_work(), so they run only after an RCU grace period, once all readers walking the enabler list have finished. The put must run in process context because user_event_put() takes event_mutex on the last reference, so a work queue is used rather than call_rcu(). The now-unlocked put lets the locked argument of user_event_enabler_destroy() be removed; all callers are updated.

2026-07-07bpf: Reject MEM_ALLOC BTF accesses past object boundsYiyang Chen
BTF struct walks relax the struct-size check for accesses through a trailing flexible array. That is valid for ordinary BTF type walking, but PTR_TO_BTF_ID | MEM_ALLOC values point to objects allocated with the static BTF type size. When walking a MEM_ALLOC object, reject the access before applying the flexible-array relaxation if the access range extends past the struct size. Apply the same policy to struct ID matching so kfunc and kptr type checks do not walk past the allocated object bounds either.

2026-07-07tracing: Add a no-rcu-check version of trace_##event##_enabled()Steven Rostedt
Tracepoints require that RCU is watching. To prevent them from being used in places that RCU is not watching, the trace_##event() macro always calls rcu_is_watching() even when the event is not enabled and warns if RCU is not watching. This is to make sure a warning is triggered even if the tracepoint is never enabled (as it is only a bug when it is). It was noticed that tracepoints could be hidden within trace_#event#_enabled() calls, which are used to do extra work for the tracepoint only if the tracepoint is enabled. But this also can hide the fact that a tracepoint is placed in a location that can be called when RCU is not watching. Commit 9764e731ef6ab ("tracepoint: Add lockdep rcu_is_watching() check to trace_##name##_enabled()") added a check to the trace_##event##_enabled() macro to make sure RCU is watching when it is called to make sure not to hide the bug of a tracepoint being called when RCU is not watching. There is one case in the irq_disable tracepoint where it is within a trace_irq_disable_enabled() block, but it checks if RCU is watching, and if it isn't, it makes a call to ct_irq_enter() that makes RCU watch again. But because trace_irq_disable_enabled() now checks if RCU is watching and will trigger if it isn't. This is a false warning as the code within the block handles this case. Add a new internal macro __trace_##event##_enabled() that doesn't check if RCU is watching, and convert the irq_enable/disable tracepoints over to it.

2026-07-07tracing: Prevent out-of-bounds read in glob matchingHuihui Huang
String event fields are not necessarily NUL-terminated, so the filter predicate functions (filter_pred_string(), filter_pred_strloc() and filter_pred_strrelloc()) pass the field length to the regex match callbacks, and the length-aware matchers honour it. regex_match_glob() was the exception: it ignored the length and called glob_match(), which scans the string until it hits a NUL byte. Some string fields are not NUL-terminated. One example is the dynamic char array of the xfs_* namespace tracepoints, which is copied without a trailing NUL. For such a field, glob matching reads past the end of the event field, causing a KASAN slab-out-of-bounds read in glob_match(), reached via regex_match_glob() and filter_match_preds() from the xfs_lookup tracepoint. Add a length-bounded glob_match_len() and use it from regex_match_glob() so glob matching always stops at the field boundary. The matching loop is factored into a shared helper so glob_match() keeps its behaviour.

2026-07-07tracing: Fix NULL pointer dereference in func_set_flag()Yuanhe Shu
func_set_flag() dereferences tr->current_trace_flags before verifying that the current tracer is actually the function tracer. When the active tracer has been switched away from "function" (e.g., to "wakeup_rt"), tr->current_trace_flags can be NULL, leading to a NULL pointer dereference and kernel crash. The call chain that triggers this is: trace_options_write() -> __set_tracer_option() -> trace->set_flag() /* func_set_flag */ In func_set_flag(), the first operation is: if (!!set == !!(tr->current_trace_flags->val & bit)) This dereferences tr->current_trace_flags unconditionally. The safety check that guards against a non-function tracer: if (tr->current_trace != &function_trace) return 0; is placed *after* the dereference, which is too late. This was observed with the following crash dump: BUG: unable to handle page fault at 0000000000000000 RIP: func_set_flag+0xd Call Trace: __set_tracer_option+0x27 trace_options_write+0x75 vfs_write+0x12a ksys_write+0x66 do_syscall_64+0x5b RIP: ffffffff914c973d RSP: ff67ec88b01dfdf0 RFLAGS: 00010202 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ff3a826e80354580 RCX: 0000000000000001 RDX: 0000000000000001 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffffffff93918080 The disassembly confirms the fault: func_set_flag+0: mov 0x1f08(%rdi), %rax ; RAX = tr->current_trace_flags = NULL func_set_flag+13: mov (%rax), %eax ; page fault: dereference NULL At the time of the crash: tr->current_trace_flags = 0x0 (NULL) tr->current_trace = wakeup_rt_tracer (not function_trace) The scenario is that a process opens a function tracer option file (such as "func_stack_trace"), then the current tracer is switched to another tracer (e.g., "wakeup_rt"), which sets current_trace_flags to NULL. When the process subsequently writes to the option file, func_set_flag() is invoked and crashes on the NULL dereference. Fix this by moving the current_trace check before the current_trace_flags dereference, so that func_set_flag() returns early when the function tracer is not active.

2026-07-07ring-buffer: Fix ring_buffer_read_page() copying only one event per pageDavid Carlier
Commit 8928e4a3be34 ("ring-buffer: Show persistent buffer dropped events in trace_pipe file") split the "commit" variable in ring_buffer_read_page() into "commit" (raw) and "size" (masked page size), but the inner copy loop's terminator was changed to compare rpos against "event_size" instead of "size". rpos is the cumulative read offset within the page; event_size is the length of the single event just copied. The loop thus breaks after the first event, so only one event is copied per call. This regresses the per-event memcpy path (partial reads, the active commit page, and mapped/remote buffers) used by splice/trace_pipe_raw and mmap consumers into a one-event-at-a-time read. Compare rpos against the page size as the original code did.

2026-07-06cgroup/cpuset: Support multiple source cpusets for cpuset_*attach()Waiman Long
There are 2 possible scenarios where the cgroup_taskset structure passed into the cgroup can_attach() and attach() methods can contain task migration data with multiple source cpusets. - A multithread application with threads in different cpusets is fully migrated into a new cpuset. - Disabling v2 cpuset controller will move all the tasks in child cpusets to the parent cpuset. The current cpuset_can_attach() and cpuset_attach() functions still expect task migration is from one source cpuset to one destination cpuset. Fix that by tracking the set of source (old) cpusets in singly linked lists. The list will be iterated when necessary to properly update internal data. To ensure proper DL tasks accounting, the nr_migrate_dl_tasks in both the source and destination cpusets are decremented/incremented with their values added to nr_deadline_tasks when the migration is successful. The setting of the global attach_ctx.cpus_updated and attach_ctx.mems_updated flags are also moved from cpuset_attach() to cpuset_can_attach() as the correct source cpuset can no longer be determined in cpuset_attach() and cpuset states will not be changed between cpuset_attach() and cpuset_can_attach() with an earlier patch.

2026-07-06cgroup/cpuset: Move mpol_rebind_mm/cpuset_migrate_mm() calls inside ↵Waiman Long
cpuset_attach_task() The cpuset_attach_task() was introduced in commit 42a11bf5c543 ("cgroup/cpuset: Make cpuset_fork() handle CLONE_INTO_CGROUP properly") to enable the CLONE_INTO_CGROUP flag of clone(2) to behave more like moving a task from one cpuset into another one. That commits didn't move the mpol_rebind_mm() and cpuset_migrate_mm() calls for group leader into cpuset_attach_task(). When the CLONE_INTO_CGROUP flag is used without CLONE_THREAD, the new task is its own group leader. So it is still not equivalent to moving task between cpusets in this case. Make CLONE_INTO_CGROUP behaves more close to cpuset_attach() by moving the mpol_rebind_mm() and cpuset_migrate_mm() calls inside cpuset_attach_task(). Also move the stack local cpus_updated, mems_updated and queue_task_work flags into attach_ctx so that these flags can be accessed inside and outside of cpuset_attach_task().

2026-07-06cgroup/cpuset: Make attach_ctx.old_cs track task group leaderWaiman Long
There are two possible ways that migration of tasks from multiple source cpusets to a target cpuset can happen. Either a multithread application with threads in different cpusets is wholely migrated to a new cpuset or disabling of v2 cpuset controller will move all the tasks in child cpusets to the parent cpuset. In the former case, it is the mm setting of the group leader that really matters. So attach_ctx.old_cs should track the oldcs of the thread leader. In the latter case, effective_mems of child cpusets must always be a subset of the parent. So no real page migration will not be necessary no matter which child cpuset is selected as attach_ctx.old_cs. IOW, attach_ctx.old_cs should be updated to match the latest task group leader in cpuset_can_attach(), but fall back to that of the first task if there is no group leader in the taskset.

Commit e44193d39e8d ("cpuset: let hotplug propagation work wait for task attaching") was introduced to let hotplug operation to wait until the completion of task attach operation. However, it is still possible that the states of the source or destination cpuset can be changed between the cpuset_can_attach() call and the subsequent cpuset_attach()/cpuset_cancel_attach() call. As a result, data gathered during cpuset_can_attach() cannot be reliably used in the subsequent cpuset_attach()/cpuset_cancel_attach() call at all. Make the task attach operation more robust and allow the sharing of data between cpuset_can_attach() and cpuset_attach()/cpuset_cancel_attach() by making cpuset_write_resmask() and cpuset_partition_write() wait for the completion of task attach as well. Ideally, an ongoing task attach operation should block any cpuset write operation that can change its internal state until the operation is completed. However, the attach_in_progress flag is currently per cpuset and only the destination cpuset will have this flag set. The flag is not set in the source cpuset where the tasks will be moved from. Even if we extend the scope to include the source cpuset, it will not block cpuset operation that changes the state of one of its ancestor cpuset which may indirectly impact the state of the source or destination cpuset. It may be too costly to set the flag for the whole subtree, it is far easier to just make the flag global and block all the cpuset write operation whenever a task attach operation is in progress. Make that change by creating a new cpuset attach context (attach_ctx) structure to hold the global in_progress flag and use it for blocking cpuset write operation if a cpuset attach operation is in progress. Also add a new wait_attach_done_lock() helper to do the waiting for an ongoing attach operation and acquire the cpuset_mutex. The comments about validate_change() are no longer valid as it won't be called at all if an attach operation is in progress. So the comments can be removed. The per-cpuset attach_in_progress flag is also currently used in partition_is_populated() and cpuset_is_populated() to determine if an empty cpuset will have incoming task. This check will no longer be needed as this function will not be called when there is a task attach in progress. So the flag check is now removed.

2026-07-06cgroup/cpuset: Fix node inconsistencies between ↵Waiman Long
cpuset_update_tasks_nodemask() and cpuset_attach() Whenever memory node mask is changed, there are 4 places where the node mask has to be updated or used. 1) task's node mask via cpuset_change_task_nodemask() 2) memory policy binding via mpol_rebind_mm() 3) if memory migration is enabled, migrate from old_mems_allowed to the new node mask via cpuset_migrate_mm(). 4) setting old_mems_allowed These memory actions are done in cpuset_update_tasks_nodemask() and cpuset_attach(). However there are inconsistencies in what node masks are being used in these 2 functions. In cpuset_update_tasks_nodemask(), - cpuset_change_task_nodemask(): guarantee_online_mems() - mpol_rebind_mm(): mems_allowed - cpuset_migrate_mm(): guarantee_online_mems() - old_mems_allowed: guarantee_online_mems() In cpuset_attach(), - cpuset_change_task_nodemask(): guarantee_online_mems() - mpol_rebind_mm(): effective_mems - cpuset_migrate_mm(): effective_mems - old_mems_allowed: effective_mems These inconsistencies dates back to quite a long time ago and it is hard to say what should be the correct values. The guarantee_online_mems() function returns a node mask from current or an ancestor cpuset that is a subset of node_states[N_MEMORY]. Nodes in node_states[N_MEMORY] are all online, i.e. in node_states[N_ONLINE]. However, node in node_states[N_ONLINE] may not have memory. So node_states[N_MEMORY] should be a subset of node_states[N_ONLINE]. The guarantee_online_mems() function should mostly be useful for v1 where mems_allowed is the same as effective_mems. With v2, the memory nodes in effective_mems should be a subset of node_states[N_MEMORY] except when a memory hot-unplug operation is in progress and a memory node is removed from node_states[N_MEMORY] but not yet reflected in the effective_mems's as cpuset_handle_hotplug() has not been called from cpuset_track_online_nodes(). Let use the following setup for both of them and make them consistent. - cpuset_change_task_nodemask(): guarantee_online_mems() - mpol_rebind_mm(): effective_mems - cpuset_migrate_mm(): guarantee_online_mems() - old_mems_allowed: guarantee_online_mems() So for v2, it is effectively all effective_mems most of the time. For v1, mpol_rebind_mm() uses mems_allowed which may differ from what guarantee_online_mems() returns, but it conforms to what the cpuset v1 documentation says with respect to setting memory policy.

2026-07-06cgroup/cpuset: Make nr_deadline_tasks an atomic_tWaiman Long
The nr_deadline_tasks variable in the cpuset structure was introduced by commit 6c24849f5515 ("sched/cpuset: Keep track of SCHED_DEADLINE task in cpusets"). It is reported by sashiko [1] that nr_deadline_tasks can currently be modified by inc_dl_tasks_cs() under rq->lock and by cpuset_attach() under cpuset_mutex. So if both updates happen simultaneously, the nr_deadline_tasks variable can be corrupted leading to incorrect operations down the road. Fix that by changing its type to atomic_t so that nr_deadline_tasks are always atomically updated. This fix patch is a low hanging fruit. It can handle some of the races between a concurrent sched_setscheduler() and cpuset_can_attach()/cpuset_attach() calls, but not all of them like the other issue raised by sashiko [2]. This will be handled hopefully in a future follow up patch.

2026-07-06cgroup/cpuset: rebind mm mempolicy to effective_mems, not mems_allowedFarhad Alemi
Creating a child cpuset where cpuset.mems is never set leads to a div/0 when a VMA mempolicy with MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES rebinds in response to a CPU hotplug event. Reproduction steps: 1) Create a cgroup w/ cpuset controls (do not set cpuset.mems) 2) Move the task into the child cpuset 3) Create a VMA mempolicy for that task with MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES 4) unplug and hotplug a cpu echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online 5) mempolicy rebind does a div/0 in mpol_relative_nodemask on the call to __nodes_fold() The cpuset code passes (cs->mems_allowed) which is not guaranteed to have nodes to the rebind routine. Use cs->effective_mems instead, which is guaranteed to have a non-empty nodemask once we reach that code path.

2026-07-06ring-buffer: Fix event length with forced 8-byte alignmentHui Wang
When RB_FORCE_8BYTE_ALIGNMENT is true, rb_calculate_event_length() reserves the space of event->array[0] for placing the data length and rb_update_event() stores the data length in event->array[0] accordingly. As a result the whole event length will add extra 4 bytes for sizeof(event.array[0]) unconditionally. But ring_buffer_event_length() only subtracts the sizeof(event->array[0]) for events larger than RB_MAX_SMALL_DATA + sizeof(event->array[0]). As a result, small events on architectures with RB_FORCE_8BYTE_ALIGNMENT=true report a data length that is 4 bytes larger than expected. To fix it, add the RB_FORCE_8BYTE_ALIGNMENT as a condition to subtract the size of that length field whenever RB_FORCE_8BYTE_ALIGNMENT is true. This issue is observed in a riscv64 kernel with CONFIG_HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS set to y, when we run ftrace selftest trace_marker_raw.tc, we get the weird log: for cases where the id is 1..100, the number of data field is 8*N, but once id exceeds 100, the number of data field becomes 8*N+4: # 1 buf: 58 00 00 00 80 5e d1 63 (number of data field is 8*1) ... # a buf: 58 ... (number of data field is 8*2) ... # 64 buf: 58 ... (number of data field is 8*13) # 65 buf: 58 ... (number of data field is 8*13+4) After applying this change, the number of data field keeps being 8*N+4 consistently.

2026-07-06timekeeping: Document monotonic raw timestamps in snapshots correctlyThomas Gleixner
The comments related to raw monotonic timestamps for the various snapshot mechanisms in code and struct documentation are ambiguous. They reference them as CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW timestamps, but with the arrival of AUX clocks that's not longer correct. The raw monotonic timestamps only represent CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW for the system time clock IDs, i.e. REALTIME, MONOTONIC, BOOTTIME, TAI. For AUX clocks they refer to the monotonic raw clock which is related to the individual AUX clocks. These monotonic raw timestamps have the same conversion factor as CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW, but differ from that by an offset: MONORAW(AUX$N) = MONORAW(SYSTEM) + OFFSET(AUX$N) The offset is established when a AUX clock is enabled and stays constant for the lifetime of the AUX clock. Update the comments so they reflect reality.

2026-07-05posix-cpu-timers: Prevent UAF caused by non-leader exec() raceThomas Gleixner
Wongi and Jungwoo decoded and reported a non-leader exec() related race which can result in an UAF: sys_timer_delete() exec() posix_cpu_timer_del() // Observes old leader p = pid_task(pid, pid_type); de_thread() switch_leader(); release_task(old_leader) __exit_signal(old_leader) sighand = lock(old_leader, sighand); posix_cpu_timers*_exit(); sighand = lock_task_sighand(p) unhash_task(old_leader); sh = lock(p, sighand) old_leader->sighand = NULL; unlock(sighand); (p->sighand == NULL) unlock(sh) return NULL; // Returns without action if(!sighand) return 0; free_posix_timer(); This is "harmless" unless the deleted timer was armed and enqueued in p->signal because on exec() a TGID targeted timer is inherited. As sys_timer_delete() freed the underlying posix timer object run_posix_cpu_timers() or any timerqueue related add/delete operations on other timers will access the freed object's timerqueue node, which results in an UAF. There is a similar problem vs. posix_cpu_timer_set(). For regular posix timers it just transiently returns -ESRCH to user space, but for the use case in do_cpu_nanosleep() it's the same UAF just that the k_itimer is allocated on the stack. Also posix_cpu_timer_rearm() fails to rearm the timer, which means it stops to expire. While debating solutions Frederic pointed out another problem: posix_cpu_timer_del(tmr) __exit_signal(p) posix_cpu_timers*_exit(p); unhash_task(p); p->sighand = NULL; sh = lock_task_sighand(p) sighand = p->sighand; if (!sighand) return NULL; lock(sighand); if (!sh) WARN_ON_ONCE(timer_queued(tmr)); On weakly ordered architectures it is not guaranteed that posix_cpu_timer_del() will observe the stores in posix_cpu_timers*_exit() when p->sighand is observed as NULL, which means the WARN() can be a false positive. Solve these issues by: 1) Changing the store in __exit_signal() to smp_store_release(). 2) Adding a smp_acquire__after_ctrl_dep() into the !sighand path of lock_task_sighand(). 3) Creating a helper function for looking up the task and locking sighand which does not return when sighand == NULL. Instead it retries the task lookup and only if that fails it gives up. 4) Using that helper in the three affected functions. #1/#2 ensures that the reader side which observes sighand == NULL also observes all preceeding stores, i.e. the stores in posix_cpu_timers*_exit() and the ones in unhash_task(). #3 ensures that the above described non-leader exec() situation is handled gracefully. When the task lookup returns the old leader, but sighand == NULL then it retries. In the non-leader exec() case the subsequent task lookup will observe the new leader due to #1/#2. In normal exit() scenarios the subsequent lookup fails. When the task lookup fails, the function also checks whether the timer is still enqueued and issues a warning if that's the case. Unfortunately there is nothing which can be done about it, but as the task is already not longer visible the timer should not be accessed anymore. This check also requires memory ordering, which is not provided when the first lookup fails. To achieve that the check is preceeded by a smp_rmb() which pairs with the smp_wmb() in write_seqlock() in __exit_signal(). That ensures that the stores in posix_cpu_timers*_exit() are visible. The history of the non-leader exec() issue goes back to the early days of posix CPU timers, which stored a pointer to the group leader task in the timer. That obviously fails when a non-leader exec() switches the leader. commit e0a70217107e ("posix-cpu-timers: workaround to suppress the problems with mt exec") added a temporary workaround for that in 2010 which survived about 10 years. The fix for the workaround changed the task pointer to a pid pointer, but failed to see the subtle race described above. So the Fixes tag picks that commit, which seems to be halfways accurate. Thanks to Frederic Weissbecker, Oleg Nesterov and Peter Zijlstra for review, feedback and suggestions and to Wongi and Jungwoo for the excellent bug report and analysis!

2026-07-02futex/requeue: Revert "Prevent NULL pointer dereference in remove_waiter() ↵Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
on self-deadlock"" The commit cited below should not have been merged. It attemted to fix an existing problem ansd thereby introduced new problems by keeping the pi_state in state Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS and leaking it. Based on the commit description the intention was to handle the case when task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() returns -EDEADLK and the following remove_waiter() dereferences the NULL pointer in waiter->task. That is already handled by Davidlohr in commit 40a25d59e85b3 ("locking/rtmutex: Skip remove_waiter() when waiter is not enqueued") and requires no further acting. Revert the commit breaking the "waiter == owner" case again.

2026-07-02workqueue: annotate racy PWQ_STAT_CPU_TIME update in wq_worker_tick()Breno Leitao
wq_worker_tick() bumps pwq->stats[PWQ_STAT_CPU_TIME] on every scheduler tick before pool->lock is taken. For unbound workqueues the pool_workqueue is shared by all workers of the pool across CPUs, so concurrent ticks on different CPUs perform an unsynchronized 64-bit read-modify-write on the same counter. KCSAN reports this as a data-race: BUG: KCSAN: data-race in wq_worker_tick / wq_worker_tick read-write to 0xffff0004d6989500 of 8 bytes by interrupt on cpu 29: wq_worker_tick+0x70/0x418 sched_tick+0x248/0x3a0 update_process_times+0x200/0x260 tick_nohz_handler+0x230/0x2f8 __hrtimer_run_queues+0x1ec/0x6c8 hrtimer_interrupt+0x174/0x4b8 ... read-write to 0xffff0004d6989500 of 8 bytes by interrupt on cpu 24: wq_worker_tick+0x70/0x418 sched_tick+0x248/0x3a0 ... value changed: 0x000000000010a1d0 -> 0x000000000010a9a0 The counter is purely advisory, so an occasional lost update is harmless, and every other stats[] update already runs under pool->lock.

2026-07-02tracing/probes: Support dumping fetcharg program for debugging dynamic eventsMasami Hiramatsu (Google)
For debugging probe events, it is helpful to verify the compiled fetch instructions for each probe argument. This introduces a new kernel config CONFIG_PROBE_EVENTS_DUMP_FETCHARG to decode the instruction sequence of each argument and display it under a commented line starting with '#' immediately following the dynamic event definition (such as in dynamic_events, kprobe_events, uprobe_events, etc.). For example: /sys/kernel/tracing # cat dynamic_events p:kprobes/p_vfs_read_0 vfs_read arg1=+0(file):ustring arg2=%ax:x16 # arg1: ARG(0) -> ST_USTRING(offset=0,size=4) -> END # arg2: REG(80) -> ST_RAW(size=2) -> END Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/178271359508.1176915.11895926894608440183.stgit@devnote2/ Assisted-by: Antigravity:gemini-3.5-flash Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

2026-07-02perf/core: Detach event groups during remove_on_execTaeyang Lee
perf_event_remove_on_exec() removes events by calling perf_event_exit_event(). For top-level events, this removes the event from the context with DETACH_EXIT only. This can leave inconsistent group state when a removed event is a group leader and the group contains siblings without remove_on_exec. If the group was active, the surviving siblings can remain active and attached to the removed leader's sibling list, but are no longer represented by a valid group leader on the PMU context active lists. A later close of the removed leader uses DETACH_GROUP and can promote the still-active siblings from this stale group state. The next schedule-in can then add an already-linked active_list entry again, corrupting the PMU context active list. With DEBUG_LIST enabled, this is caught as a list_add double-add in merge_sched_in(). Fix this by detaching group relationships when remove_on_exec removes an event. This preserves the existing task-exit and revoke behavior, while ensuring surviving siblings are ungrouped before the removed event leaves the context.
