Forking a task that has a pending uretprobe can oops the kernel with a
NULL pointer dereference in the clone() path:

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000018
  Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP NOPTI
  RIP: 0010:hprobe_expire
  CR2: 0000000000000018
  Call Trace:
   uprobe_copy_process
   copy_process
   kernel_clone
   __x64_sys_clone
   do_syscall_64
   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe

This was found on real hosts on Meta fleet.

I've got the impression that this is what is happening:

  CPU 1                          CPU 2 (traced task)
  -----                          -------------------
                                 hit uprobe, prepare_uretprobe():
                                   hprobe LEASED, refcount &gt;= 1
  uprobe_unregister()
    put_uprobe(): refcount -&gt; 0
                                 fork() -&gt; dup_utask()
                                   hprobe_expire(hprobe, true)
                                     try_get_uprobe() -&gt; NULL
                                     get_uprobe(NULL)   &lt;-- Oops

Only take the extra reference when the uprobe is non-NULL; a NULL means
it is gone and is the correct value to return.

<title>perf/aux: Fix page UAF in map_range()</title>

map_range() reads rb-&gt;aux_pages[], rb-&gt;aux_nr_pages and rb-&gt;aux_pgoff via
perf_mmap_to_page() while holding only event-&gt;mmap_mutex. Those fields are
serialized by rb-&gt;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-&gt;aux_pages[0]
  [2]: rb-&gt;aux_nr_pages++
                                  [3]: perf_mmap_to_page()
                                         returns rb-&gt;aux_pages[0]
                                  [4]: map it as VM_PFNMAP
  [5]: rb-&gt;aux_pgoff = 1

  munmap the page
  [6]: free rb-&gt;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-&gt;aux_mutex across the page walk in map_range().

<title>perf/core: Detach event groups during remove_on_exec</title>

<content type='text'>
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.

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"

<title>perf/core: Fix deadlock in perf_mmap() failure path</title>

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>

<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.
