2026-07-24tracing: perf: Fix stale head for perf syscall tracingSteven Rostedt
The code that can read the user space parameters of a system call may enable preemption and migrate. The head of the per CPU perf events list may be pointing to the wrong CPU event if the code migrates the task. Reassign the head pointer if the system call event called the code that may have caused a migration.

2026-07-24ftrace: Add global mutex to serialize trace_parser accessTengda Wu
In ftrace, the trace_parser structure is allocated and initialized when a trace file is opened, and is subsequently used across write and release handlers to parse user input. The affected handler paths and their specific functions are: - Open paths: ftrace_regex_open(), ftrace_graph_open() - Write paths: ftrace_regex_write(), ftrace_graph_write() - Release paths: ftrace_regex_release(), ftrace_graph_release() If userspace opens a trace file descriptor and shares it across multiple threads, concurrent write calls will race on the parser's internal state, specifically the 'idx', 'cont', and 'buffer' fields, leading to corrupted input or undefined behavior. Fix this by adding a global mutex, parser_lock, to serialize all access to trace_parser across write and release paths, preventing concurrent corruption of parser state.

2026-07-24tracing: Delay module ref count for "enable_event" triggerSteven Rostedt
Triggers are now delayed from freeing, but can still be triggered until after the RCU grace period has ended. The freeing of the enable_event data is put into the private_data_free() callback, but the put of the module refcount is done immediately. It is possible that if a module is removed that has an event that would enable (or disable) it is still active, it can read the data of the module after it is removed causing a use-after-free bug. Move the trace_event_put_ref() that releases the module into the delayed callback so that the module can not be removed until any reference to its events are finished.

2026-07-24tracing: Fix use-after-free freeing trigger private dataDavid Carlier
Commit 61d445af0a7c ("tracing: Add bulk garbage collection of freeing event_trigger_data") moved the kfree() of event_trigger_data to a kthread that runs tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() before freeing. That removed the synchronization the trigger .free callbacks used to get implicitly and inline from trigger_data_free(). event_hist_trigger_free(), event_hist_trigger_named_free() and event_enable_trigger_free() free their satellite data (hist_data, cmd_ops, enable_data) right after trigger_data_free() returns. With the synchronization now deferred to the kthread, a concurrent tracepoint handler can still reach that data through the list_del_rcu()'d trigger, causing a use-after-free. The histogram teardown must stay synchronous: remove_hist_vars() and unregister_field_var_hists() have to detach a synthetic event from the histogram before the trigger-removal write returns, otherwise a following command races in and the synthetic-event removal fails with -EBUSY, as the trigger-synthetic-eprobe.tc selftest catches. Make those callbacks wait with the correct barrier - tracepoint_synchronize_unregister(), matching the free kthread - before freeing. The enable trigger has no such synchronous requirement, and a blocking synchronize there would re-serialize the path that commit deliberately deferred. Give it an optional private_data_free() callback that the free kthread runs after its grace period, and free enable_data from there.

2026-07-24tracing: Fix context switch counter truncationUsama Arif
trace_user_fault_read() samples nr_context_switches_cpu() before enabling preemption and retries the user copy if the counter changes. The helper returns unsigned long long because rq->nr_switches is u64, but the saved value is unsigned int. Once a CPU has performed 2^32 context switches, assigning the counter to cnt discards its upper bits. The comparison after the copy promotes cnt back to unsigned long long, but the lost bits remain zero, so it reports a change even when the task was never scheduled out. Every retry then fails the same way until the 100-try guard warns and the user copy is abandoned. This affects long-running systems and workloads with high context-switch rates. A CPU switching 1,000 times per second takes about 50 days. Store the sampled count in unsigned long long so the full value is preserved.

2026-07-24tracing: Fix union collision of module and refcnt for dynamic eventsMasami Hiramatsu (Google)
In 'struct trace_event_call', the 'module' pointer and the 'refcnt' atomic variable share the same memory space in a union. For dynamic events, the union member is 'refcnt', which acts as an active reference counter. When a dynamic event (such as kprobe, uprobe, fprobe, eprobe, or wprobe) has a non-zero reference count (e.g. due to active event triggers or perf attachments), its 'call->module' evaluates to a small non-zero integer instead of NULL. When filtering or setting events for a specific module (e.g., writing ':mod:<module>' to 'set_event'), the code in '__ftrace_set_clr_event_nolock()' and 'update_event_fields()' reads 'call->module' directly without checking whether the event is dynamic. This causes the kernel to treat the small integer (refcnt) as a 'struct module' pointer, leading to a NULL/invalid pointer dereference (Oops) when dereferencing the module name. Fix this by ensuring that the 'TRACE_EVENT_FL_DYNAMIC' flag is checked before treating 'call->module' as a valid pointer in these code paths.

2026-07-24rv/rtapp: Add wakeup monitorNam Cao
Add a wakeup monitor to detect a lower-priority task waking up a higher-priority task. The rtapp/sleep monitor already detects this. However, that monitor triggers an error in the context of the wakee task and user only gets the stacktrace of that task. It is also extremely useful to get the stacktrace of the waker task, which this monitor offers. In other words, this monitor complements the rtapp/sleep monitor.

2026-07-24rv/rtapp/sleep: Stop monitoring kernel threadsNam Cao
The rtapp/sleep monitor's primary purpose is detecting common mistakes with user-space real-time design. Monitoring real-time issues with kernel threads is a bonus. However, accomodating kernel threads complicates the monitor due to the edge cases which is seen by the monitor as lower-priority task waking higher-priority task: - kthread_stop() wakes up the task in order to stop it. - The rcu thread and migration thread can be woken by any task. - The ktimerd thread is woken near the end of irq_exit_rcu(), where the preempt counter is "broken" and falsely says this is task context. This requires the monitor to use the hardirq_context flag instead of the preempt counter. Beside complicating the monitor, the final case also requires enabling CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS (so that "hardirq_context" can be used). This adds overhead to the kernel even when the monitor is not active. This may be an obstacle to enabling this monitor in distros' kernels. Furthermore, kernel threads usually are started before the monitor is enabled. Consequently, the threads' states (i.o.w. the monitor's atomic propositions for the threads) are not fully known to the monitor. As a result, the kernel threads mostly cannot be monitored. Overall, the downsides of accomodating kernel threads outweights the benefits. Thus, exclude kernel threads to simplify the monitor.

2026-07-24rv/rtapp/sleep: Make the error more informative for userNam Cao
The rtapp/sleep monitor detects real-time tasks which go to sleep in an real-time-unsafe manner. If this happen, the monitor triggers a trace event in the sched_wakeup tracepoint's handler. However, the invoking context of that trace event is not the most informative, because of the stack trace of that event is the wakeup's code path which is not very helpful: 74.669317: rv:error_sleep: condvar[254]: violation detected ltl_validate+0x345 ([kernel.kallsyms]) handle_sched_wakeup+0x34 ([kernel.kallsyms]) ttwu_do_activate+0xff ([kernel.kallsyms]) sched_ttwu_pending+0x104 ([kernel.kallsyms]) __flush_smp_call_function_queue+0x15b ([kernel.kallsyms]) __sysvec_call_function_single+0x18 ([kernel.kallsyms]) sysvec_call_function_single+0x66 ([kernel.kallsyms]) asm_sysvec_call_function_single+0x1a ([kernel.kallsyms]) pv_native_safe_halt+0xf ([kernel.kallsyms]) default_idle+0x9 ([kernel.kallsyms]) default_idle_call+0x33 ([kernel.kallsyms]) do_idle+0x234 ([kernel.kallsyms]) cpu_startup_entry+0x24 ([kernel.kallsyms]) start_secondary+0xf8 ([kernel.kallsyms]) common_startup_64+0x13e ([kernel.kallsyms]) What would be much more valuable is the stack trace of the task itself.

2026-07-23tracing: Fix resource leak on mmiotrace trace_pipe closedeepakraog
The mmiotrace tracer was added May 12th 2008. At that time, resources created in pipe_open() could not be freed because there was not pipe_close function pointer of the tracer. The pipe_close function pointer was added in December 7th, 2009, but the mmiotrace tracer was not updated. mmio_pipe_open() allocates a header_iter and takes a pci_dev reference when trace_pipe is opened. mmio_close() frees them, but it was only wired to the tracer's .close callback. tracing_release_pipe() invokes .pipe_close, not .close, when the trace_pipe file is released. As a result, closing trace_pipe with the mmiotrace tracer active leaked the header_iter allocation and left a stale pci_dev reference. Set .pipe_close to mmio_close, matching how function_graph wires both callbacks to the same handler. Note, if the trace_pipe is read to completion, it will clean up the resources, but if one were to run: # head -n 1 /sys/kernel/tracing/trace_pipe VERSION 20070824 Over and over again, it would trigger a massive leak.

2026-07-22tracing/remotes: Fix page_va[] access before counter update in ↵Fuad Tabba
trace_remote_alloc_buffer() page_va[] is annotated __counted_by(nr_page_va), so nr_page_va must cover an index before that element is accessed. The allocation loop writes page_va[id] while nr_page_va is still id and increments it only afterwards, so every write is one element past the declared count. The store is out of bounds with respect to the annotation: a build with CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS on a toolchain that honours __counted_by (clang >= 20.1, gcc >= 15.1) flags it as an array-index overflow. Increment nr_page_va before writing the element it now covers. A failed allocation then leaves the slot counted but NULL; the error path frees it with free_page(0), which is a no-op.

When passed as a size argument to snprintf(), this negative value is cast to a large unsigned size_t, bypassing buffer size limits. Ensure len > pos before subtracting to avoid integer underflow.

If trace_probe_log.argc is 0 in __trace_probe_log_err(), the loop constructing the command string will not execute and p will remain equal to command. Writing to *(p - 1) will cause an out-of-bounds access before command. This should not happen, but better to be treated. Reject if trace_probe_log.argc is 0.

trace_probe_match_command_args() In trace_probe_match_command_args(), a stack buffer buf[MAX_ARGSTR_LEN + 1] (256 bytes) is used to format "<name>=<comm>". However, since name can be up to 32 bytes (MAX_ARG_NAME_LEN) and comm up to 255 bytes (MAX_ARGSTR_LEN), the formatted string can exceed 256 bytes and get truncated by snprintf(), causing spurious argument matching failures. Instead of formatting into a temporary buffer on stack, compare the argument name, the '=' delimiter, and the comm expression directly.

2026-07-20rv: Simplify hybrid automata monitors's clock variablesNam Cao
Hybrid automata monitors's clock variables have two different representations: - The invariant representation, which is the timestamp when the invariant expires - The guard representation, which is the timestamp when the clock is last reset This dual representation makes the logic quite difficult to follow (well, at least for me). It also complicates the monitors and the generation tool, as it requires conversion back and forth between the representation. Simplify by using the clock variables for a single purpose: storing the time stamp since the clock is last reset. This also allows simplifying rvgen, which will be done in a follow-up commit.

2026-07-14tracing/probes: Eliminate recursion in parse_probe_arg()Masami Hiramatsu
To avoid potential stack overflows on limited kernel stacks, convert parse_probe_arg() from a recursive function into a loop-based implementation with a simple local state stack. Since recursion is eliminated using a loop with a fixed-size stack in the context, this restricts the dereference nesting depth. The maximum nesting depth of dereferences is now restricted to the same limit as typecasts (TRACEPROBE_MAX_NESTED_LEVEL, which is 8) and reports the same TOO_MANY_NESTED error. Update ftrace selftests to reflect this restriction and simplify the checks. Note that this change slightly alters the behavior of nested dereferencing in fetcharg. Previously, dereferencing without BTF allowed for up to 14 levels of nesting, whereas dereferencing with BTF was limited to 3 levels. With this change, the nesting depth is now limited to 8 levels in both cases.

To support BTF argument parsing (such as accessing fields within nested structures via typecasting), the maximum argument string length needs to be extended. Extend MAX_ARGSTR_LEN from 63 to 255. Since MAX_ARGSTR_LEN was previously reused to format command heads in trace_*probe_match_command_head() functions, introduce a dedicated MAX_COMMON_HEAD_LEN (63) macro for matching command heads and switch these functions to use the new macro.

fetcharg When tracing the kernel local variables, sometimes we need to get the CPU local variables. To access it, current simple dereference is not enough. Thus, introduce a special this_cpu_read() dereference to access per-cpu variable for the current CPU (accessing other CPU variable may race with updates on other CPUs). Also this_cpu_ptr() is for accessing per-cpu pointer. Those are working as same as the kernel percpu macro.

Add a field specifier option for the typecast. This works like container_of() macro.

So, if you enabkle both fprobes:tick_nohz_handler__entry and timer:hrtimer_expire_entry events, we will see something like: <idle>-0 [002] d.h1. 3778.087272: hrtimer_expire_entry: hrtimer=00000000d63db328 f unction=tick_nohz_handler now=3777450051040 <idle>-0 [002] d.h1. 3778.087281: tick_nohz_handler__entry: (tick_nohz_handler+0x4 /0x140) next_tick=3777450000000 Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/178271365745.1176915.725923927180862257.stgit@devnote2/ Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

This allows us to typecast a generic data member in a structure to a pointer to another structure. For example, to cast a DATA_MEMBER of VAR structure to STRUCT pointer and get MEMBER value. (STRUCT)(VAR->DATA_MEMBER)->MEMBER Also, we can nest typecast. (STRUCT1)((STRUCT2)$ARG->FIELD2)->FIELD1 Currently the max nest level is limited to 3. This also allows user to use typecasting for registers or stacks on kprobe events. e.g. (STRUCT)(%ax)->MEMBER (STRUCT)($stack0)->MEMBER Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/178271363855.1176915.16793301788257446529.stgit@devnote2/ Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

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.

2026-07-07tracing: 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.
