Pull bpf updates from Alexei Starovoitov:
 "Major changes:

   - Recover from BPF arena page faults using a scratch page and add
     ptep_try_set() for lockless empty-slot installs on x86 and arm64.

     This allows BPF kfuncs to access arena pointers directly.

     The 'arena_direct_access' stable branch was created for this work
     and was pulled into sched-ext and bpf-next trees (Tejun Heo, Kumar
     Kartikeya Dwivedi)

   - Lift old restriction and support 6+ arguments in BPF programs and
     kfuncs on x86 and arm64 (Yonghong Song, Puranjay Mohan)

  Other features and fixes:

   - Add 24-bit BTF vlen and reclaim unused bits in the BTF UAPI to ease
     addition of new BTF kinds (Alan Maguire)

   - Raise the maximum BPF call chain depth from 8 to 16 frames (Alexei
     Starovoitov)

   - Refactor object relationship tracking in the verifier and fix a
     dynptr use-after-free bug (Amery Hung)

   - Harden the signed program loader and reject exclusive maps as inner
     maps (Daniel Borkmann)

   - Replace the verifier min/max bounds fields with a circular number
     (cnum) representation and improve 32-&gt;64 bit range refinements
     (Eduard Zingerman)

   - Introduce the arena library and runtime (libarena) with a buddy
     allocator, rbtree and SPMC queue data structures, ASAN support and
     a parallel test harness. Allow subprograms to return arena pointers
     and switch to a BTF type-tag based __arena annotation (Emil
     Tsalapatis)

   - Cache build IDs in the sleepable stackmap path and avoid faultable
     build ID reads under mm locks (Ihor Solodrai)

   - Introduce the tracing_multi link to attach a single BPF program to
     many kernel functions at once. Allow specifying the uprobe_multi
     target via FD (Jiri Olsa)

   - Extend the bpf_list family of kfuncs with bpf_list_add/del(), and
     bpf_list_is_first/is_last/empty() (Kaitao Cheng)

   - Extend the BPF syscall with common attributes support for
     prog_load, btf_load and map_create (Leon Hwang)

   - Wrap rhashtable as BPF map (Mykyta Yatsenko, Herbert Xu)

   - Add sleepable support for tracepoint programs and fix deadlocks in
     LRU map due to NMI reentry (Mykyta Yatsenko)

   - Fix OOB access in bpf_flow_keys, fix nullness analysis of inner
     arrays, enforce write checks for global subprograms (Nuoqi Gui)

   - Report the maximum combined stack depth and print a breakdown of
     instructions processed per subprogram (Paul Chaignon)

   - Add an XDP load-balancer benchmark and arm64 JIT support for stack
     arguments (Puranjay Mohan)

   - Add kfuncs to traverse over wakeup_sources (Samuel Wu)

   - Allow sleepable BPF programs to use LPM trie maps directly (Vlad
     Poenaru)

   - Many more fixes and cleanups across the verifier, BTF, sockmap,
     devmap, bpffs, security hooks, s390/riscv/loongarch JITs,
     rqspinlock, libbpf, bpftool, selftests"

Ian noted that commit 77de62ad3de3 ("perf/core: Fix refcount bug and
potential UAF in perf_mmap") would cause a deadlock due to
event-&gt;mmap_mutex recursion.

This happens because we're now calling perf_mmap_close() under
mmap_mutex, while that function itself can also take mmap_mutex.

Solve this by noting that perf_mmap_close() is far more complicated
than we need at this particular point, since it deals with scenarios
that cannot happen in this particular case.

Replace the call to perf_mmap_close() with a very narrow undo for the
case of first-exposure. If this is not the first mmap(), there is no
race and it is fine to drop the lock and call perf_mmap_close() to
handle to more complicated scenarios.

Note: move the rb-&gt;mmap_user (namespace) handling into the rb
init/free code such that it does not complicate the mmap handling.

<title>bpf: Add sleepable support for classic tracepoint programs</title>
<updated>2026-04-22T20:44:29+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Mykyta Yatsenko</name>
<email>yatsenko@meta.com</email>
</author>
<published>2026-04-22T19:41:08+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=57918341dd19e5ca8a77622ffae3db19e5ba4cc7'/>
<id>57918341dd19e5ca8a77622ffae3db19e5ba4cc7</id>
<content type='text'>
Add trace_call_bpf_faultable(), a variant of trace_call_bpf() for
faultable tracepoints that supports sleepable BPF programs. It uses
rcu_tasks_trace for lifetime protection and
bpf_prog_run_array_sleepable() for per-program RCU flavor selection,
following the uprobe_prog_run() pattern.

Restructure perf_syscall_enter() and perf_syscall_exit() to run BPF
programs before perf event processing. Previously, BPF ran after the
per-cpu perf trace buffer was allocated under preempt_disable,
requiring cleanup via perf_swevent_put_recursion_context() on filter.
Now BPF runs in faultable context before preempt_disable, reading
syscall arguments from local variables instead of the per-cpu trace
record, removing the dependency on buffer allocation. This allows
sleepable BPF programs to execute and avoids unnecessary buffer
allocation when BPF filters the event. The perf event submission
path (buffer allocation, fill, submit) remains under preempt_disable
as before. Since BPF no longer runs within the buffer allocation
context, the fake_regs output parameter to perf_trace_buf_alloc()
is no longer needed and is replaced with NULL.

Add an attach-time check in __perf_event_set_bpf_prog() to reject
sleepable BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACEPOINT programs on non-syscall
tracepoints, since only syscall tracepoints run in faultable context.

This prepares the classic tracepoint runtime and attach paths for
sleepable programs. The verifier changes to allow loading sleepable
BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACEPOINT programs are in a subsequent patch.

following the uprobe_prog_run() pattern.

Restructure perf_syscall_enter() and perf_syscall_exit() to run BPF
programs before perf event processing. Previously, BPF ran after the
per-cpu perf trace buffer was allocated under preempt_disable,
requiring cleanup via perf_swevent_put_recursion_context() on filter.
Now BPF runs in faultable context before preempt_disable, reading
syscall arguments from local variables instead of the per-cpu trace
record, removing the dependency on buffer allocation. This allows
sleepable BPF programs to execute and avoids unnecessary buffer
allocation when BPF filters the event. The perf event submission
path (buffer allocation, fill, submit) remains under preempt_disable
as before. Since BPF no longer runs within the buffer allocation
context, the fake_regs output parameter to perf_trace_buf_alloc()
is no longer needed and is replaced with NULL.

Add an attach-time check in __perf_event_set_bpf_prog() to reject
sleepable BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACEPOINT programs on non-syscall
tracepoints, since only syscall tracepoints run in faultable context.

This prepares the classic tracepoint runtime and attach paths for
sleepable programs. The verifier changes to allow loading sleepable
BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACEPOINT programs are in a subsequent patch.

Pull vfs i_ino updates from Christian Brauner:
 "For historical reasons, the inode-&gt;i_ino field is an unsigned long,
  which means that it's 32 bits on 32 bit architectures. This has caused
  a number of filesystems to implement hacks to hash a 64-bit identifier
  into a 32-bit field, and deprives us of a universal identifier field
  for an inode.

  This changes the inode-&gt;i_ino field from an unsigned long to a u64.
  This shouldn't make any material difference on 64-bit hosts, but
  32-bit hosts will see struct inode grow by at least 4 bytes. This
  could have effects on slabcache sizes and field alignment.

  The bulk of the changes are to format strings and tracepoints, since
  the kernel itself doesn't care that much about the i_ino field. The
  first patch changes some vfs function arguments, so check that one out
  carefully.

  With this change, we may be able to shrink some inode structures. For
  instance, struct nfs_inode has a fileid field that holds the 64-bit
  inode number. With this set of changes, that field could be
  eliminated. I'd rather leave that sort of cleanups for later just to
  keep this simple"

Pull vfs i_ino updates from Christian Brauner:
 "For historical reasons, the inode-&gt;i_ino field is an unsigned long,
  which means that it's 32 bits on 32 bit architectures. This has caused
  a number of filesystems to implement hacks to hash a 64-bit identifier
  into a 32-bit field, and deprives us of a universal identifier field
  for an inode.

  This changes the inode-&gt;i_ino field from an unsigned long to a u64.
  This shouldn't make any material difference on 64-bit hosts, but
  32-bit hosts will see struct inode grow by at least 4 bytes. This
  could have effects on slabcache sizes and field alignment.

  The bulk of the changes are to format strings and tracepoints, since
  the kernel itself doesn't care that much about the i_ino field. The
  first patch changes some vfs function arguments, so check that one out
  carefully.

  With this change, we may be able to shrink some inode structures. For
  instance, struct nfs_inode has a fileid field that holds the 64-bit
  inode number. With this set of changes, that field could be
  eliminated. I'd rather leave that sort of cleanups for later just to
  keep this simple"
