2026-02-27bpf: Improve bounds when tnum has a single possible valuePaul Chaignon
We're hitting an invariant violation in Cilium that sometimes leads to BPF programs being rejected and Cilium failing to start [1]. The following extract from verifier logs shows what's happening: from 201 to 236: R1=0 R6=ctx() R7=1 R9=scalar(smin=umin=smin32=umin32=3584,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=3840,var_off=(0xe00; 0x100)) R10=fp0 236: R1=0 R6=ctx() R7=1 R9=scalar(smin=umin=smin32=umin32=3584,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=3840,var_off=(0xe00; 0x100)) R10=fp0 ; if (magic == MARK_MAGIC_HOST || magic == MARK_MAGIC_OVERLAY || magic == MARK_MAGIC_ENCRYPT) @ bpf_host.c:1337 236: (16) if w9 == 0xe00 goto pc+45 ; R9=scalar(smin=umin=smin32=umin32=3585,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=3840,var_off=(0xe00; 0x100)) 237: (16) if w9 == 0xf00 goto pc+1 verifier bug: REG INVARIANTS VIOLATION (false_reg1): range bounds violation u64=[0xe01, 0xe00] s64=[0xe01, 0xe00] u32=[0xe01, 0xe00] s32=[0xe01, 0xe00] var_off=(0xe00, 0x0) We reach instruction 236 with two possible values for R9, 0xe00 and 0xf00. This is perfectly reflected in the tnum, but of course the ranges are less accurate and cover [0xe00; 0xf00]. Taking the fallthrough path at instruction 236 allows the verifier to reduce the range to [0xe01; 0xf00]. The tnum is however not updated. With these ranges, at instruction 237, the verifier is not able to deduce that R9 is always equal to 0xf00. Hence the fallthrough pass is explored first, the verifier refines the bounds using the assumption that R9 != 0xf00, and ends up with an invariant violation. This pattern of impossible branch + bounds refinement is common to all invariant violations seen so far. The long-term solution is likely to rely on the refinement + invariant violation check to detect dead branches, as started by Eduard. To fix the current issue, we need something with less refactoring that we can backport. This patch uses the tnum_step helper introduced in the previous patch to detect the above situation. In particular, three cases are now detected in the bounds refinement: 1. The u64 range and the tnum only overlap in umin. u64: ---[xxxxxx]----- tnum: --xx----------x- 2. The u64 range and the tnum only overlap in the maximum value represented by the tnum, called tmax. u64: ---[xxxxxx]----- tnum: xx-----x-------- 3. The u64 range and the tnum only overlap in between umin (excluded) and umax. u64: ---[xxxxxx]----- tnum: xx----x-------x- To detect these three cases, we call tnum_step(tnum, umin), which returns the smallest member of the tnum greater than umin, called tnum_next here. We're in case (1) if umin is part of the tnum and tnum_next is greater than umax. We're in case (2) if umin is not part of the tnum and tnum_next is equal to tmax. Finally, we're in case (3) if umin is not part of the tnum, tnum_next is inferior or equal to umax, and calling tnum_step a second time gives us a value past umax. This change implements these three cases. With it, the above bytecode looks as follows: 0: (85) call bpf_get_prandom_u32#7 ; R0=scalar() 1: (47) r0 |= 3584 ; R0=scalar(smin=0x8000000000000e00,umin=umin32=3584,smin32=0x80000e00,var_off=(0xe00; 0xfffffffffffff1ff)) 2: (57) r0 &= 3840 ; R0=scalar(smin=umin=smin32=umin32=3584,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=3840,var_off=(0xe00; 0x100)) 3: (15) if r0 == 0xe00 goto pc+2 ; R0=3840 4: (15) if r0 == 0xf00 goto pc+1 4: R0=3840 6: (95) exit In addition to the new selftests, this change was also verified with Agni [3]. For the record, the raw SMT is available at [4]. The property it verifies is that: If a concrete value x is contained in all input abstract values, after __update_reg_bounds, it will continue to be contained in all output abstract values.

2026-02-27bpf: Introduce tnum_step to step through tnum's membersHarishankar Vishwanathan
This commit introduces tnum_step(), a function that, when given t, and a number z returns the smallest member of t larger than z. The number z must be greater or equal to the smallest member of t and less than the largest member of t. The first step is to compute j, a number that keeps all of t's known bits, and matches all unknown bits to z's bits. Since j is a member of the t, it is already a candidate for result. However, we want our result to be (minimally) greater than z. There are only two possible cases: (1) Case j <= z. In this case, we want to increase the value of j and make it > z. (2) Case j > z. In this case, we want to decrease the value of j while keeping it > z. (Case 1) j <= z t = xx11x0x0 z = 10111101 (189) j = 10111000 (184) ^ k (Case 1.1) Let's first consider the case where j < z. We will address j == z later. Since z > j, there had to be a bit position that was 1 in z and a 0 in j, beyond which all positions of higher significance are equal in j and z. Further, this position could not have been unknown in a, because the unknown positions of a match z. This position had to be a 1 in z and known 0 in t. Let k be position of the most significant 1-to-0 flip. In our example, k = 3 (starting the count at 1 at the least significant bit). Setting (to 1) the unknown bits of t in positions of significance smaller than k will not produce a result > z. Hence, we must set/unset the unknown bits at positions of significance higher than k. Specifically, we look for the next larger combination of 1s and 0s to place in those positions, relative to the combination that exists in z. We can achieve this by concatenating bits at unknown positions of t into an integer, adding 1, and writing the bits of that result back into the corresponding bit positions previously extracted from z. >From our example, considering only positions of significance greater than k: t = xx..x z = 10..1 + 1 ----- 11..0 This is the exact combination 1s and 0s we need at the unknown bits of t in positions of significance greater than k. Further, our result must only increase the value minimally above z. Hence, unknown bits in positions of significance smaller than k should remain 0. We finally have, result = 11110000 (240) (Case 1.2) Now consider the case when j = z, for example t = 1x1x0xxx z = 10110100 (180) j = 10110100 (180) Matching the unknown bits of the t to the bits of z yielded exactly z. To produce a number greater than z, we must set/unset the unknown bits in t, and *all* the unknown bits of t candidates for being set/unset. We can do this similar to Case 1.1, by adding 1 to the bits extracted from the masked bit positions of z. Essentially, this case is equivalent to Case 1.1, with k = 0. t = 1x1x0xxx z = .0.1.100 + 1 --------- .0.1.101 This is the exact combination of bits needed in the unknown positions of t. After recalling the known positions of t, we get result = 10110101 (181) (Case 2) j > z t = x00010x1 z = 10000010 (130) j = 10001011 (139) ^ k Since j > z, there had to be a bit position which was 0 in z, and a 1 in j, beyond which all positions of higher significance are equal in j and z. This position had to be a 0 in z and known 1 in t. Let k be the position of the most significant 0-to-1 flip. In our example, k = 4. Because of the 0-to-1 flip at position k, a member of t can become greater than z if the bits in positions greater than k are themselves >= to z. To make that member *minimally* greater than z, the bits in positions greater than k must be exactly = z. Hence, we simply match all of t's unknown bits in positions more significant than k to z's bits. In positions less significant than k, we set all t's unknown bits to 0 to retain minimality. In our example, in positions of greater significance than k (=4), t=x000. These positions are matched with z (1000) to produce 1000. In positions of lower significance than k, t=10x1. All unknown bits are set to 0 to produce 1001. The final result is: result = 10001001 (137) This concludes the computation for a result > z that is a member of t. The procedure for tnum_step() in this commit implements the idea described above. As a proof of correctness, we verified the algorithm against a logical specification of tnum_step. The specification asserts the following about the inputs t, z and output res that: 1. res is a member of t, and 2. res is strictly greater than z, and 3. there does not exist another value res2 such that 3a. res2 is also a member of t, and 3b. res2 is greater than z 3c. res2 is smaller than res We checked the implementation against this logical specification using an SMT solver. The verification formula in SMTLIB format is available at [1]. The verification returned an "unsat": indicating that no input assignment exists for which the implementation and the specification produce different outputs. In addition, we also automatically generated the logical encoding of the C implementation using Agni [2] and verified it against the same specification. This verification also returned an "unsat", confirming that the implementation is equivalent to the specification. The formula for this check is also available at [3].

2026-02-27bpf: Fix race in devmap on PREEMPT_RTJiayuan Chen
On PREEMPT_RT kernels, the per-CPU xdp_dev_bulk_queue (bq) can be accessed concurrently by multiple preemptible tasks on the same CPU. The original code assumes bq_enqueue() and __dev_flush() run atomically with respect to each other on the same CPU, relying on local_bh_disable() to prevent preemption. However, on PREEMPT_RT, local_bh_disable() only calls migrate_disable() (when PREEMPT_RT_NEEDS_BH_LOCK is not set) and does not disable preemption, which allows CFS scheduling to preempt a task during bq_xmit_all(), enabling another task on the same CPU to enter bq_enqueue() and operate on the same per-CPU bq concurrently. This leads to several races: 1. Double-free / use-after-free on bq->q[]: bq_xmit_all() snapshots cnt = bq->count, then iterates bq->q[0..cnt-1] to transmit frames. If preempted after the snapshot, a second task can call bq_enqueue() -> bq_xmit_all() on the same bq, transmitting (and freeing) the same frames. When the first task resumes, it operates on stale pointers in bq->q[], causing use-after-free. 2. bq->count and bq->q[] corruption: concurrent bq_enqueue() modifying bq->count and bq->q[] while bq_xmit_all() is reading them. 3. dev_rx/xdp_prog teardown race: __dev_flush() clears bq->dev_rx and bq->xdp_prog after bq_xmit_all(). If preempted between bq_xmit_all() return and bq->dev_rx = NULL, a preempting bq_enqueue() sees dev_rx still set (non-NULL), skips adding bq to the flush_list, and enqueues a frame. When __dev_flush() resumes, it clears dev_rx and removes bq from the flush_list, orphaning the newly enqueued frame. 4. __list_del_clearprev() on flush_node: similar to the cpumap race, both tasks can call __list_del_clearprev() on the same flush_node, the second dereferences the prev pointer already set to NULL. The race between task A (__dev_flush -> bq_xmit_all) and task B (bq_enqueue -> bq_xmit_all) on the same CPU: Task A (xdp_do_flush) Task B (ndo_xdp_xmit redirect) ---------------------- -------------------------------- __dev_flush(flush_list) bq_xmit_all(bq) cnt = bq->count /* e.g. 16 */ /* start iterating bq->q[] */ <-- CFS preempts Task A --> bq_enqueue(dev, xdpf) bq->count == DEV_MAP_BULK_SIZE bq_xmit_all(bq, 0) cnt = bq->count /* same 16! */ ndo_xdp_xmit(bq->q[]) /* frames freed by driver */ bq->count = 0 <-- Task A resumes --> ndo_xdp_xmit(bq->q[]) /* use-after-free: frames already freed! */ Fix this by adding a local_lock_t to xdp_dev_bulk_queue and acquiring it in bq_enqueue() and __dev_flush(). These paths already run under local_bh_disable(), so use local_lock_nested_bh() which on non-RT is a pure annotation with no overhead, and on PREEMPT_RT provides a per-CPU sleeping lock that serializes access to the bq.

2026-02-27bpf: Delay freeing fields in local storageKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi
Currently, when use_kmalloc_nolock is false, the freeing of fields for a local storage selem is done eagerly before waiting for the RCU or RCU tasks trace grace period to elapse. This opens up a window where the program which has access to the selem can recreate the fields after the freeing of fields is done eagerly, causing memory leaks when the element is finally freed and returned to the kernel. Make a few changes to address this. First, delay the freeing of fields until after the grace periods have expired using a __bpf_selem_free_rcu wrapper which is eventually invoked after transitioning through the necessary number of grace period waits. Replace usage of the kfree_rcu with call_rcu to be able to take a custom callback. Finally, care needs to be taken to extend the rcu barriers for all cases, and not just when use_kmalloc_nolock is true, as RCU and RCU tasks trace callbacks can be in flight for either case and access the smap field, which is used to obtain the BTF record to walk over special fields in the map value. While we're at it, drop migrate_disable() from bpf_selem_free_rcu, since migration should be disabled for RCU callbacks already.

2026-02-27bpf: Register dtor for freeing special fieldsKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi
There is a race window where BPF hash map elements can leak special fields if the program with access to the map value recreates these special fields between the check_and_free_fields done on the map value and its eventual return to the memory allocator. Several ways were explored prior to this patch, most notably [0] tried to use a poison value to reject attempts to recreate special fields for map values that have been logically deleted but still accessible to BPF programs (either while sitting in the free list or when reused). While this approach works well for task work, timers, wq, etc., it is harder to apply the idea to kptrs, which have a similar race and failure mode. Instead, we change bpf_mem_alloc to allow registering destructor for allocated elements, such that when they are returned to the allocator, any special fields created while they were accessible to programs in the mean time will be freed. If these values get reused, we do not free the fields again before handing the element back. The special fields thus may remain initialized while the map value sits in a free list. When bpf_mem_alloc is retired in the future, a similar concept can be introduced to kmalloc_nolock-backed kmem_cache, paired with the existing idea of a constructor. Note that the destructor registration happens in map_check_btf, after the BTF record is populated and (at that point) avaiable for inspection and duplication. Duplication is necessary since the freeing of embedded bpf_mem_alloc can be decoupled from actual map lifetime due to logic introduced to reduce the cost of rcu_barrier()s in mem alloc free path in 9f2c6e96c65e ("bpf: Optimize rcu_barrier usage between hash map and bpf_mem_alloc."). As such, once all callbacks are done, we must also free the duplicated record. To remove dependency on the bpf_map itself, also stash the key size of the map to obtain value from htab_elem long after the map is gone.

2026-02-26bpf: Fix stack-out-of-bounds write in devmapKohei Enju
get_upper_ifindexes() iterates over all upper devices and writes their indices into an array without checking bounds. Also the callers assume that the max number of upper devices is MAX_NEST_DEV and allocate excluded_devices[1+MAX_NEST_DEV] on the stack, but that assumption is not correct and the number of upper devices could be larger than MAX_NEST_DEV (e.g., many macvlans), causing a stack-out-of-bounds write. Add a max parameter to get_upper_ifindexes() to avoid the issue. When there are too many upper devices, return -EOVERFLOW and abort the redirect. To reproduce, create more than MAX_NEST_DEV(8) macvlans on a device with an XDP program attached using BPF_F_BROADCAST | BPF_F_EXCLUDE_INGRESS. Then send a packet to the device to trigger the XDP redirect path.

The call to kmalloc_obj(observed.lines) returns "char (*)[3][512]", a pointer to the whole 2D array. But "expect" wants to be "char (*)[512]", the decayed pointer type, as if it were observed.lines itself (though without the "3" bounds).

2026-02-24liveupdate: luo_file: remember retrieve() statusPratyush Yadav (Google)
LUO keeps track of successful retrieve attempts on a LUO file. It does so to avoid multiple retrievals of the same file. Multiple retrievals cause problems because once the file is retrieved, the serialized data structures are likely freed and the file is likely in a very different state from what the code expects. The retrieve boolean in struct luo_file keeps track of this, and is passed to the finish callback so it knows what work was already done and what it has left to do. All this works well when retrieve succeeds. When it fails, luo_retrieve_file() returns the error immediately, without ever storing anywhere that a retrieve was attempted or what its error code was. This results in an errored LIVEUPDATE_SESSION_RETRIEVE_FD ioctl to userspace, but nothing prevents it from trying this again. The retry is problematic for much of the same reasons listed above. The file is likely in a very different state than what the retrieve logic normally expects, and it might even have freed some serialization data structures. Attempting to access them or free them again is going to break things. For example, if memfd managed to restore 8 of its 10 folios, but fails on the 9th, a subsequent retrieve attempt will try to call kho_restore_folio() on the first folio again, and that will fail with a warning since it is an invalid operation. Apart from the retry, finish() also breaks. Since on failure the retrieved bool in luo_file is never touched, the finish() call on session close will tell the file handler that retrieve was never attempted, and it will try to access or free the data structures that might not exist, much in the same way as the retry attempt. There is no sane way of attempting the retrieve again. Remember the error retrieve returned and directly return it on a retry. Also pass this status code to finish() so it can make the right decision on the work it needs to do. This is done by changing the bool to an integer. A value of 0 means retrieve was never attempted, a positive value means it succeeded, and a negative value means it failed and the error code is the value.

2026-02-23Remove WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM kernel config optionLinus Torvalds
This config option goes way back - it used to be an internal debug option to random.c (at that point called DEBUG_RANDOM_BOOT), then was renamed and exposed as a config option as CONFIG_WARN_UNSEEDED_RANDOM, and then further renamed to the current CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM. It was all done with the best of intentions: the more limited rate-limited reports were reporting some cases, but if you wanted to see all the gory details, you'd enable this "ALL" option. However, it turns out - perhaps not surprisingly - that when people don't care about and fix the first rate-limited cases, they most certainly don't care about any others either, and so warning about all of them isn't actually helping anything. And the non-ratelimited reporting causes problems, where well-meaning people enable debug options, but the excessive flood of messages that nobody cares about will hide actual real information when things go wrong. I just got a kernel bug report (which had nothing to do with randomness) where two thirds of the the truncated dmesg was just variations of random: get_random_u32 called from __get_random_u32_below+0x10/0x70 with crng_init=0 and in the process early boot messages had been lost (in addition to making the messages that _hadn't_ been lost harder to read). The proper way to find these things for the hypothetical developer that cares - if such a person exists - is almost certainly with boot time tracing. That gives you the option to get call graphs etc too, which is likely a requirement for fixing any problems anyway. See Documentation/trace/boottime-trace.rst for that option. And if we for some reason do want to re-introduce actual printing of these things, it will need to have some uniqueness filtering rather than this "just print it all" model.

2026-02-23perf/core: Fix refcount bug and potential UAF in perf_mmapHaocheng Yu
Syzkaller reported a refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free warning in perf_mmap. The issue is caused by a race condition between a failing mmap() setup and a concurrent mmap() on a dependent event (e.g., using output redirection). In perf_mmap(), the ring_buffer (rb) is allocated and assigned to event->rb with the mmap_mutex held. The mutex is then released to perform map_range(). If map_range() fails, perf_mmap_close() is called to clean up. However, since the mutex was dropped, another thread attaching to this event (via inherited events or output redirection) can acquire the mutex, observe the valid event->rb pointer, and attempt to increment its reference count. If the cleanup path has already dropped the reference count to zero, this results in a use-after-free or refcount saturation warning. Fix this by extending the scope of mmap_mutex to cover the map_range() call. This ensures that the ring buffer initialization and mapping (or cleanup on failure) happens atomically effectively, preventing other threads from accessing a half-initialized or dying ring buffer.

2026-02-23rseq: slice ext: Ensure rseq feature size differs from original rseq sizeMathieu Desnoyers
Before rseq became extensible, its original size was 32 bytes even though the active rseq area was only 20 bytes. This had the following impact in terms of userspace ecosystem evolution: * The GNU libc between 2.35 and 2.39 expose a __rseq_size symbol set to 32, even though the size of the active rseq area is really 20. * The GNU libc 2.40 changes this __rseq_size to 20, thus making it express the active rseq area. * Starting from glibc 2.41, __rseq_size corresponds to the AT_RSEQ_FEATURE_SIZE from getauxval(3). This means that users of __rseq_size can always expect it to correspond to the active rseq area, except for the value 32, for which the active rseq area is 20 bytes. Exposing a 32 bytes feature size would make life needlessly painful for userspace. Therefore, add a reserved field at the end of the rseq area to bump the feature size to 33 bytes. This reserved field is expected to be replaced with whatever field will come next, expecting that this field will be larger than 1 byte. The effect of this change is to increase the size from 32 to 64 bytes before we actually have fields using that memory. Clarify the allocation size and alignment requirements in the struct rseq uapi comment. Change the value returned by getauxval(AT_RSEQ_ALIGN) to return the value of the active rseq area size rounded up to next power of 2, which guarantees that the rseq structure will always be aligned on the nearest power of two large enough to contain it, even as it grows. Change the alignment check in the rseq registration accordingly. This will minimize the amount of ABI corner-cases we need to document and require userspace to play games with.

Notably, this modification pattern should only lower the next_class, and never raise it.

2026-02-23sched/eevdf: Update se->vprot in reweight_entity()Wang Tao
In the EEVDF framework with Run-to-Parity protection, `se->vprot` is an independent variable defining the virtual protection timestamp. When `reweight_entity()` is called (e.g., via nice/renice), it performs the following actions to preserve Lag consistency: 1. Scales `se->vlag` based on the new weight. 2. Calls `place_entity()`, which recalculates `se->vruntime` based on the new weight and scaled lag. However, the current implementation fails to update `se->vprot`, leading to mismatches between the task's actual runtime and its expected duration.

2026-02-23sched/fair: Fix zero_vruntime trackingPeter Zijlstra
It turns out that zero_vruntime tracking is broken when there is but a single task running. Current update paths are through __{en,de}queue_entity(), and when there is but a single task, pick_next_task() will always return that one task, and put_prev_set_next_task() will end up in neither function. This can cause entity_key() to grow indefinitely large and cause overflows, leading to much pain and suffering. Furtermore, doing update_zero_vruntime() from __{de,en}queue_entity(), which are called from {set_next,put_prev}_entity() has problems because: - set_next_entity() calls __dequeue_entity() before it does cfs_rq->curr = se. This means the avg_vruntime() will see the removal but not current, missing the entity for accounting. - put_prev_entity() calls __enqueue_entity() before it does cfs_rq->curr = NULL. This means the avg_vruntime() will see the addition *and* current, leading to double accounting. Both cases are incorrect/inconsistent. Noting that avg_vruntime is already called on each {en,de}queue, remove the explicit avg_vruntime() calls (which removes an extra 64bit division for each {en,de}queue) and have avg_vruntime() update zero_vruntime itself.

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org>

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Fix possible dereference of uninitialized pointer When validating the persistent ring buffer on boot up, if the first validation fails, a reference to "head_page" is performed in the error path, but it skips over the initialization of that variable. Move the initialization before the first validation check. - Fix use of event length in validation of persistent ring buffer On boot up, the persistent ring buffer is checked to see if it is valid by several methods. One being to walk all the events in the memory location to make sure they are all valid. The length of the event is used to move to the next event. This length is determined by the data in the buffer. If that length is corrupted, it could possibly make the next event to check located at a bad memory location. Validate the length field of the event when doing the event walk. - Fix function graph on archs that do not support use of ftrace_ops When an architecture defines HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS, it means that its function graph tracer uses the ftrace_ops of the function tracer to call its callbacks. This allows a single registered callback to be called directly instead of checking the callback's meta data's hash entries against the function being traced. For architectures that do not support this feature, it must always call the loop function that tests each registered callback (even if there's only one). The loop function tests each callback's meta data against its hash of functions and will call its callback if the function being traced is in its hash map. The issue was that there was no check against this and the direct function was being called even if the architecture didn't support it. This meant that if function tracing was enabled at the same time as a callback was registered with the function graph tracer, its callback would be called for every function that the function tracer also traced, even if the callback's meta data only wanted to be called back for a small subset of functions. Prevent the direct calling for those architectures that do not support it. - Fix references to trace_event_file for hist files The hist files used event_file_data() to get a reference to the associated trace_event_file the histogram was attached to. This would return a pointer even if the trace_event_file is about to be freed (via RCU). Instead it should use the event_file_file() helper that returns NULL if the trace_event_file is marked to be freed so that no new references are added to it. - Wake up hist poll readers when an event is being freed When polling on a hist file, the task is only awoken when a hist trigger is triggered. This means that if an event is being freed while there's a task waiting on its hist file, it will need to wait until the hist trigger occurs to wake it up and allow the freeing to happen. Note, the event will not be completely freed until all references are removed, and a hist poller keeps a reference. But it should still be woken when the event is being freed. * tag 'trace-v7.0-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: tracing: Wake up poll waiters for hist files when removing an event tracing: Fix checking of freed trace_event_file for hist files fgraph: Do not call handlers direct when not using ftrace_ops tracing: ring-buffer: Fix to check event length before using ring-buffer: Fix possible dereference of uninitialized pointer
2026-02-19tracing: Wake up poll waiters for hist files when removing an eventPetr Pavlu
The event_hist_poll() function attempts to verify whether an event file is being removed, but this check may not occur or could be unnecessarily delayed. This happens because hist_poll_wakeup() is currently invoked only from event_hist_trigger() when a hist command is triggered. If the event file is being removed, no associated hist command will be triggered and a waiter will be woken up only after an unrelated hist command is triggered. Fix the issue by adding a call to hist_poll_wakeup() in remove_event_file_dir() after setting the EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED flag. This ensures that a task polling on a hist file is woken up and receives EPOLLERR.

2026-02-19tracing: Fix checking of freed trace_event_file for hist filesPetr Pavlu
The event_hist_open() and event_hist_poll() functions currently retrieve a trace_event_file pointer from a file struct by invoking event_file_data(), which simply returns file->f_inode->i_private. The functions then check if the pointer is NULL to determine whether the event is still valid. This approach is flawed because i_private is assigned when an eventfs inode is allocated and remains set throughout its lifetime. Instead, the code should call event_file_file(), which checks for EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED. Using the incorrect access function may result in the code potentially opening a hist file for an event that is being removed or becoming stuck while polling on this file. Correct the access method to event_file_file() in both functions.

2026-02-19fgraph: Do not call handlers direct when not using ftrace_opsSteven Rostedt
The function graph tracer was modified to us the ftrace_ops of the function tracer. This simplified the code as well as allowed more features of the function graph tracer. Not all architectures were converted over as it required the implementation of HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS to implement. For those architectures, it still did it the old way where the function graph tracer handle was called by the function tracer trampoline. The handler then had to check the hash to see if the registered handlers wanted to be called by that function or not. In order to speed up the function graph tracer that used ftrace_ops, if only one callback was registered with function graph, it would call its function directly via a static call. Now, if the architecture does not support the use of using ftrace_ops and still has the ftrace function trampoline calling the function graph handler, then by doing a direct call it removes the check against the handler's hash (list of functions it wants callbacks to), and it may call that handler for functions that the handler did not request calls for. On 32bit x86, which does not support the ftrace_ops use with function graph tracer, it shows the issue: ~# trace-cmd start -p function -l schedule ~# trace-cmd show # tracer: function_graph # # CPU DURATION FUNCTION CALLS # | | | | | | | 2) * 11898.94 us | schedule(); 3) # 1783.041 us | schedule(); 1) | schedule() { ------------------------------------------ 1) bash-8369 => kworker-7669 ------------------------------------------ 1) | schedule() { ------------------------------------------ 1) kworker-7669 => bash-8369 ------------------------------------------ 1) + 97.004 us | } 1) | schedule() { [..] Now by starting the function tracer is another instance: ~# trace-cmd start -B foo -p function This causes the function graph tracer to trace all functions (because the function trace calls the function graph tracer for each on, and the function graph trace is doing a direct call): ~# trace-cmd show # tracer: function_graph # # CPU DURATION FUNCTION CALLS # | | | | | | | 1) 1.669 us | } /* preempt_count_sub */ 1) + 10.443 us | } /* _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore */ 1) | tick_program_event() { 1) | clockevents_program_event() { 1) 1.044 us | ktime_get(); 1) 6.481 us | lapic_next_event(); 1) + 10.114 us | } 1) + 11.790 us | } 1) ! 181.223 us | } /* hrtimer_interrupt */ 1) ! 184.624 us | } /* __sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt */ 1) | irq_exit_rcu() { 1) 0.678 us | preempt_count_sub(); When it should still only be tracing the schedule() function. To fix this, add a macro FGRAPH_NO_DIRECT to be set to 0 when the architecture does not support function graph use of ftrace_ops, and set to 1 otherwise. Then use this macro to know to allow function graph tracer to call the handlers directly or not.

2026-02-18unshare: fix unshare_fs() handlingAl Viro
There's an unpleasant corner case in unshare(2), when we have a CLONE_NEWNS in flags and current->fs hadn't been shared at all; in that case copy_mnt_ns() gets passed current->fs instead of a private copy, which causes interesting warts in proof of correctness] > I guess if private means fs->users == 1, the condition could still be true. Unfortunately, it's worse than just a convoluted proof of correctness. Consider the case when we have CLONE_NEWCGROUP in addition to CLONE_NEWNS (and current->fs->users == 1). We pass current->fs to copy_mnt_ns(), all right. Suppose it succeeds and flips current->fs->{pwd,root} to corresponding locations in the new namespace. Now we proceed to copy_cgroup_ns(), which fails (e.g. with -ENOMEM). We call put_mnt_ns() on the namespace created by copy_mnt_ns(), it's destroyed and its mount tree is dissolved, but... current->fs->root and current->fs->pwd are both left pointing to now detached mounts. They are pinning those, so it's not a UAF, but it leaves the calling process with unshare(2) failing with -ENOMEM _and_ leaving it with pwd and root on detached isolated mounts. The last part is clearly a bug. There is other fun related to that mess (races with pivot_root(), including the one between pivot_root() and fork(), of all things), but this one is easy to isolate and fix - treat CLONE_NEWNS as "allocate a new fs_struct even if it hadn't been shared in the first place". Sure, we could go for something like "if both CLONE_NEWNS *and* one of the things that might end up failing after copy_mnt_ns() call in create_new_namespaces() are set, force allocation of new fs_struct", but let's keep it simple - the cost of copy_fs_struct() is trivial. Another benefit is that copy_mnt_ns() with CLONE_NEWNS *always* gets a freshly allocated fs_struct, yet to be attached to anything. That seriously simplifies the analysis... FWIW, that bug had been there since the introduction of unshare(2) ;-/ Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260207082524.GE3183987@ZenIV Tested-by: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>
