Commit 91e74fa8b1bc ("kho: make sure preservations do not span multiple
NUMA nodes") made sure preservations from kho_preserve_pages() do not
span multiple NUMA nodes. If they do, the order is reduced and tried
again.

The same logic was not implemented for kho_unpreserve_pages(). This can
result in unpreserve calculating a different order than preserve, and
thus not actually unpreserving the pages.

Fix this by moving the order calculation logic to
__kho_preserve_pages_order() and use it from both preserve and
unpreserve paths.

Move __kho_unpreserve() down to avoid having a forward declaration. Its
users are further down in the file anyway. Also, it results in grouping
for all the page-level preservation and unpreservation functions. This
unfortunately makes the diff hard to read, but the main change in
__kho_unpreserve() is to call __kho_preserve_pages_order() instead of
open-coding the order calculation.

 - Avoid NULL return from hist_field_name()

   The function hist_field_name() is directly passed to a strcat() which
   does not handle "NULL" characters. Return a zero length string when
   size is greater than the limit.

   This is used only to output already created histograms and no field
   currently is greater than the limit. But it should still not return
   NULL.

 - Do not call map-&gt;ops-&gt;elt_free() on allocation failure

   When elt_alloc() fails, it should not call the map-&gt;ops-&gt;elt_free()
   function if it exists, as that function may not be able to handle the
   free on allocation failures. The -&gt;elt_free() should only be called

<title>kernel/fork: validate exit_signal in kernel_clone()</title>
<updated>2026-05-22T02:06:12+00:00</updated>

<name>Deepanshu Kartikey</name>

<published>2026-03-16T15:19:56+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=09e7827e785729f391c8d46dc71becce70d296ab'/>
<id>09e7827e785729f391c8d46dc71becce70d296ab</id>
<content type='text'>
When a child process exits, it sends exit_signal to its parent via
do_notify_parent().  The clone() syscall constructs exit_signal as:

(lower_32_bits(clone_flags) &amp; CSIGNAL)

CSIGNAL is 0xff, so values in the range 65-255 are possible.  However,
valid_signal() only accepts signals up to _NSIG (64 on x86_64).  A
non-zero non-valid exit_signal acts the same as exit_signal == 0: the
parent process is not signaled when the child terminates.

The syzkaller reproducer triggers this by calling clone() with flags=0x80,
resulting in exit_signal = (0x80 &amp; CSIGNAL) = 128, which exceeds _NSIG and
is not a valid signal.

The v1 of this patch added the check only in the clone() syscall handler,
which is incomplete.  kernel_clone() has other callers such as
sys_ia32_clone() which would remain unprotected.  Move the check to
kernel_clone() to cover all callers.

Since the valid_signal() check is now in kernel_clone() and covers all
callers including clone3(), the same check in copy_clone_args_from_user()
becomes redundant and is removed.  The higher 32bits check for clone3() is
kept as it is clone3() specific.

Note that this is a user-visible change: previously, passing an invalid
exit_signal to clone() was silently accepted.  The man page for clone()
does not document any defined behavior for invalid exit_signal values, so
rejecting them with -EINVAL is the correct behavior.  It is unlikely that
any sane application relies on passing an invalid exit_signal.

[oleg@redhat.com: the comment above kernel_clone() should be updated]

When a child process exits, it sends exit_signal to its parent via
do_notify_parent().  The clone() syscall constructs exit_signal as:

(lower_32_bits(clone_flags) &amp; CSIGNAL)

CSIGNAL is 0xff, so values in the range 65-255 are possible.  However,
valid_signal() only accepts signals up to _NSIG (64 on x86_64).  A
non-zero non-valid exit_signal acts the same as exit_signal == 0: the
parent process is not signaled when the child terminates.

The syzkaller reproducer triggers this by calling clone() with flags=0x80,
resulting in exit_signal = (0x80 &amp; CSIGNAL) = 128, which exceeds _NSIG and
is not a valid signal.

The v1 of this patch added the check only in the clone() syscall handler,
which is incomplete.  kernel_clone() has other callers such as
sys_ia32_clone() which would remain unprotected.  Move the check to
kernel_clone() to cover all callers.

Since the valid_signal() check is now in kernel_clone() and covers all
callers including clone3(), the same check in copy_clone_args_from_user()
becomes redundant and is removed.  The higher 32bits check for clone3() is
kept as it is clone3() specific.

Note that this is a user-visible change: previously, passing an invalid
exit_signal to clone() was silently accepted.  The man page for clone()
does not document any defined behavior for invalid exit_signal values, so
rejecting them with -EINVAL is the correct behavior.  It is unlikely that
any sane application relies on passing an invalid exit_signal.

Pull ring-buffer fixes from Steven Rostedt:

 - Fix reporting MISSED EVENTS in trace iterator

   When the "trace" file is read with tracing enabled, if the writer
   were to pass the iterator reader, it resets, sets a "missed_events"
   flag and continues. The tracing output checks for missed events and
   if there are some, it prints out "[LOST EVENTS]" to let the user know
   events were dropped.

   But the clearing of the missed_events happened when the tracing
   system queried the ring buffer iterator about missed events. This was
   premature as the ring buffer is per CPU, and the tracing code reads
   all the CPU buffers and checks for missed events when it is read. If
   the CPU iterator that had missed events isn't printed next, the
   output for the LOST EVENTS is lost.

   Clear the missed_events flag when the iterator moves to the next
   event and not when the missed_events flag is queried. Also clear it
   on reset.

 - Flush and stop the persistent ring buffer on panic

   On panic the persistent ring buffer is used to debug what caused the
   panic. But on some architectures, it requires flushing the memory
   from cache, otherwise, the ring buffer persistent memory may not have
   the last events and this could also cause the ring buffer to be
   corrupted on the next boot.

 - Fix nr_subbufs initialization in simple_ring_buffer_init_mm

   The remote simple ring buffer meta data nr_subbufs is initialized too
   early and gets cleared later on, making it zero and not reflect the
   actual number of sub-buffers.

 - Fix unload_page for simple_ring_buffer init rollback

   On error, the pages loaded need to be unloaded. To unload a page it
   is expected that: page = load_page(va); -&gt; unload_page(page). But the
   code was doing: unload_page(va) and not unload_page(page).

 - Create output file from cmd_check_undefined

   The check for undefined symbols checks if the file *.o.checked exists
   and if so it skips doing the work. But the *.o.checked file never was
   created making every build do the work even when it was already done
   previously.
