git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Fix error output of boot instance creation failure Currently if a boot instance creation fails, instead of printing out the name of the instance that failed, it prints "(null)". That is because it prints "cur_str" that had already been processed by strsep(). Print the saved name instead. While at it, print the error code of the failure. - Fix use-after-free for same named historgrams Histograms can be named so that they can be used in multiple events. But if the named histogram has a variable attached, the second event that uses the named histogram which duplicates it and needs to free the original after duplication leaves the old variable in place and still visible. If another histogram uses than variable, it will use the stale one which will try to reference the freed duplicate histogram and crash the kernel. Free the duplicate variables along with the duplicated histogram data. - Check return value of kthread_run() in event self test The events self tests uses a kthread for testing but does not check if it succeeded in creating a kthread. If the kthread creation were to fail, the code will still try to call kthread_stop() on the error returned. - Fix race between reading trace_pipe and updating subbuffer size If a user is reading the trace_pipe file at the same time they update the ring buffer sub-buffer size, can cause the trace_pipe read to read stale data. Add trace_access_lock() around updating the ring buffer sub-buffer size. - Fix eventfs_inode on failure path in creation of the events directory In the creation of the "events" directory, if after allocating the eventfs_inode a failure is detected, it calls cleanup_ei() which calls free_ei(). The free_ei() will test if eventfs_inode being freed has no children. It is a bug if it does. But on the failure case of the creation of the "events" directory, the children lists have not yet been initialized and the free will trigger a warning because list_empty() on an uninitialized list returns false. Move the initialization into init_ei() where it makes more sense and makes sure that a created eventfs_inode has its lists initialized upon creation. - Check return value of kthread_run() in ftrace direct sample code The sample code that shows how to use the ftrace direct calls does not test the return of kthread_run() to see if it succeeds. Return a failure if the kthread_run() doesn't succeed. - Clear user events state on fork in case of alloc failure On fork, the child gets a pointer to the parent's user events state. It makes a copy of it then updates the child's pointer to it. But if the allocation fails, the duplication function leaves the child with a pointer to its parent's descriptor. When the child cleans up its data, it will free the parent's descriptor while the parent is still using it. In the duplication function, set the child's user_event_mm to NULL before testing if the allocation succeeded, and when it exits it will not free the parent's descriptor. - Fix retry exhaustion in simple ring buffer reader swap simple_ring_buffer_swap_reader_page() starts with retry set to 8 and post-decrements it only after a failed link replacement. On the final attempt, a successful replacement leaves retry at zero, while a failed replacement leaves it at -1. But the check for success expects the retry value to be non-zero and exits with an error on zero. This is the opposite result. Fix it. - Fail nicely when the remote swap_reader_page() returns an error Currently, if the swap_reader_page() of a remote buffer fails, it triggers a WARN_ON_ONCE() and continues normally. Instead, have it exit with an error and a pr_warn() print instead of a full WARNING. * tag 'trace-v7.3-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: ring-buffer: Stop remote reader update when page swap fails tracing: Fix retry exhaustion in simple ring buffer reader swap tracing/user_events: Clear copied tracing state before fork duplication samples/ftrace: Fix kthread_stop() on ERR_PTR in ftrace-direct-multi-modify samples/ftrace: Fix kthread_stop() on ERR_PTR in ftrace-direct-modify eventfs: Initialize ei->children and ei->list in init_ei() tracing: Fix use-after-free in trace_pipe read on sub-buffer order change tracing: Fix crash passing ERR_PTR to kthread_stop() tracing: Fix use-after-free with same-name named triggers tracing: Fix logged instance name on creation failure
4 daysring-buffer: Stop remote reader update when page swap failsIvan Immanuel Shaji
The remote swap_reader_page callback can return -EBUSY when the writer moves the head before the remote catches it, particularly during an event storm on a small buffer. __rb_get_reader_page_from_remote() currently warns about that failure but continues with the unchanged reader ID and rearranges the local page list as though the swap succeeded. Handle the callback failure as a recoverable error. Report it with pr_warn_ratelimited() and return NULL. Callers already handle a NULL reader page as a failed attempt. This avoids splicing the same page as both the previous and new reader without flooding the log under contention.

4 daystracing: Fix retry exhaustion in simple ring buffer reader swapIvan Immanuel Shaji
simple_ring_buffer_swap_reader_page() starts with retry set to 8 and post-decrements it only after a failed link replacement. On the final attempt, a successful replacement leaves retry at zero, while a failed replacement leaves it at -1. The current !retry test reverses both outcomes. It returns an error after a successful final replacement, leaving the link update complete but the reader bookkeeping unfinished. After a failed final replacement, it falls through and updates the head and reader pointers as though the replacement succeeded, which can corrupt the ring. Treat only a negative counter as exhaustion and return the documented -EBUSY error.

4 daystracing/user_events: Clear copied tracing state before fork duplicationJérémy Jean
dup_task_struct() copies user_event_mm from the parent into the child, without grabbing a reference to it. user_event_mm_dup() should replace it, but it leaves that copied pointer unmodified if user_event_mm_alloc() fails. When the child exits, user_event_mm_remove() decrements a reference the child never owned, which ultimately frees user_event_mm, while the parent still as a stale pointer to it. This creates a UAF, which KASAN reports as: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in current_user_event_mm+0x51/0x1d0 Write of size 4 at addr ffff888005010d30 by task init/44 Call Trace: <TASK> kasan_report+0xce/0x100 kasan_check_range+0x10f/0x1e0 current_user_event_mm+0x51/0x1d0 user_events_ioctl+0x82e/0x15c0 __x64_sys_ioctl+0x139/0x1c0 do_syscall_64+0xce/0x450 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f Allocated by task 44: __kasan_kmalloc+0x8f/0xa0 __kmalloc_cache_noprof+0x180/0x3a0 user_event_mm_alloc+0x3c/0x1f0 current_user_event_mm+0x88/0x1d0 Freed by task 42: __kasan_slab_free+0x43/0x70 kfree+0x13a/0x390 process_one_work+0x696/0xf90 worker_thread+0x420/0xba0 The fix simply clears the copied pointer before any possible failure. In case of failure, the child then has nothing to free.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull more MM updates from Andrew Morton: - "mm/rmap: index MAP_PRIVATE file-backed folios by anonymous pgoff" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Index MAP_PRIVATE file-backed folios by their anonymous page offset to resolve confusion around reverse mapping for zeroed and CoW'd file-backed memory. Use this new VMA anonymous page offset tracking to eliminate index conflicts and lay the foundation for scalable CoW performance improvements. - "promote mapped executable folios after first usage for MGLRU" (Baolin Wang) Make MGLRU's protection of mapped executable file folios more reliable. Follow the classical LRU's logic, promoting mapped executable file folios after their first usage to give executable code a better chance to stay in memory and improve workload performance. - "mm: vmscan: fix node reclaim ignoring swappiness parameter" (Ridong Chen) Fix per-node proactive reclaim interface's ignoring the swappiness parameter when CONFIG_MEMCG is disabled by consolidating sc_swappiness() into a single function that checks proactive_swappiness regardless of kernel configuration. - "mm/vmscan: reduce lru_lock contention via vmstat-derived scan-balance cost" (Usama Arif) Reduce lru_lock contention in the reclaim path by deriving scan-balance costs from vmstat counters rather than lock-acquired producer updates. Read and decay these cost signals on the reclaim side under a dedicated per-lruvec lock, reducing total LRU lock wait time by over 60% without impacting scan throughput. - "zram: fix zram issues reported by sashiko" (Sergey Senozhatsky) Fix two low-risk zram bugs which Sashiko spotted in drive-by review. - "Honor XA_FLAGS_ACCOUNT in xas_split_alloc() and charge to folio's memcg" (Zi Yan) Fix xas_split_alloc() by enabling target folio memcg charging during splits and adding the missing __GFP_ACCOUNT flag for proper XArray node memory accounting. - "selftests/mm: use pattern matching in .gitignore" (Pratyush Mallick) Replace hardcoded binary names in selftests/mm/.gitignore with a generic pattern-matching rule to automatically ignore generated test files and avoid manual updates when adding new tests. - "mm/page_ext: remove pgdat_page_ext_init()" (Sang-Heon Jeon) Make the incompatibility between FLATMEM and NUMA explicit in mm/Kconfig and remove the unused pgdat_page_ext_init() function. - "zram: fix zstd error paths and add parameter validation" (Haoqin Huang) Clean up zram compression backends by removing redundant error cleanup, adding parameter and dictionary validation, auto-prefixing algorithm error logs, and resetting parameters prior to reinitialization. - "zram: fix stale scan bounds after reinitialization" (Longlong Xia) Prevent out-of-bounds slot accesses during concurrent zram resets by moving table scan bound calculations under dev_lock in writeback_store() and read_block_state(). - "add anon mTHP collapse test cases" (Baolin Wang) Extend selftests helper functions to support arbitrary page orders and add new test cases and options for mTHP collapse in khugepaged. - "selftests/mm: Handle unsupported and transient test conditions" (Muhammad Usama Anjum) Update MM selftests to report a SKIP status instead of a failure when required kernel or filesystem features are unsupported, while adding retry logic for transient page migration errors. - "mm/zswap: Fixes and improves the zswap shrink" (Hao Jia) Fix the missing zswap global shrinker when CONFIG_MEMCG is disabled and extend shrink_memcg() to support batch writeback for improved writeback efficiency. - "alloc_tag: introduce IOCTL-based filtering for MAP" (Suren Baghdasaryan) Introduce an IOCTL-based binary interface for memory allocation profiling that enables kernel-side filtering before per-CPU counter aggregation. This eliminates the text-parsing overhead of /proc/allocinfo and provides up to a 20x speedup by transferring only filtered allocation data to userspace. - "better block swap batching and a different take on swap_ops v5" (Christoph Hellwig) Refactor block swap I/O to use swap_iocb for batching instead of single-bio requests and rebase the swap_ops interface, achieving faster swap throughput during kernel builds. - "mm: kmemleak: reduce transient false positives by confirming leaks" (Catalin Marinas) Reduce false-positive kmemleak reports by combining two kmemleak enhancements that add a second confirmation scan and a configurable minimum unreferenced scan count module parameter. - "mm: kmemleak: default min_unref_scans to 2 for verbose kernels" (Breno Leitao) Auto-scanning kernels can generate false-positive memory leak reports on single scans, so this patch defaults min_unref_scans to 2 when CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_VERBOSE is enabled to require a second confirming scan. - "swap_ops updates" (Christoph Hellwig) Batching I/O for synchronous swap devices causes performance regressions and filesystem-based swap suffers from double-indirection overhead. This series resolves both issues by reintroducing per-folio writes for synchronous swap and allowing filesystems to directly export their own swap_ops. - "mm/khugepaged: several cleanups" (Nico Pache) khugepaged accumulated redundant state-checking patterns and outdated comments following mTHP integration. Introduce dedicated helpers for PTE validation and event counting while refreshing the internal documentation. - "maple_tree: lock checking and clean ups" (Liam Howlett) Syzbot reports incorrectly blame memory management exit paths for locking bugs, maple tree erase operations risk allocation failures without gfp flags and internal documentation lacks clarity. Improve lock error detection, update docs, fix race and allocation edge cases and optimize erase allocations using a fallback to GFP_KERNEL | GFP_NOFAIL. * tag 'mm-stable-2026-08-26-15-22' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (172 commits) selftests/proc: make proc-maps-race work with READ_IMPLIES_EXEC memcg: move LRU size accounting on reparenting instead of copying it mm/vmscan: fix comment logic in balance_pgdat maple_tree: add helper mas_make_walkable() maple_tree: avoid extra gap calculation maple_tree: fix argument name in header maple_tree: change two GFP flags in tests maple_tree: document erase and allocations better maple_tree: avoid mas_erase() and mtree_erase() failures maple_tree: document that erase may use GFP_KERNEL for allocations maple_tree: catch race in mas_alloc_cyclic() maple_tree: add bulk parent set helper maple_tree: micro optimisation of mas_wr_store_type() maple_tree: optimise mas_wr_node_store() when not in rcu mode maple_tree: use prefetched value in mas_wr_store_type() maple_tree: clarify comments on mas_nomem() maple_tree: drop MAPLE_ALLOC_SLOTS maple_tree: drop dead code from mas_extend_spanning_null() maple_tree: documentation fix maple_tree: add write lock checking with lockdep sequence numbers ...

Add an 8 bit small sequence counter to the held_lock struct to detect if the lock as been dropped and reacquired. This is useful when a data structure depends on a constant locking context, but is not able to detect locking and unlocking of the lock through its own API. Since the __lock_unpin_lock() will no longer detect underflow by casting the unsigned int to a signed int, update the casting code to use a temp variable for calculations using a signed int.

7 daysmm: provide vma_[flags_]is_cow_mapping() and remove is_cow_mapping()Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM)
All remaining callers of is_cow_mapping() are invoking it in the form of is_cow_mapping(vma->vm_flags) or an indirected version of this. Therefore, provide a helper - vma_is_cow_mapping() to directly test the VMA. Additionally provide a new helper vma_flags_is_cow_mapping() which performs the check using the new vma_flags_t type, and share this logic between vma_is_cow_mapping() and vma_desc_is_cow_mapping(). With these changes, no callers of is_cow_mapping() remain, so remove it. Also update the userland VMA tests to reflect the change. No functional change intended.

8 daysdma-contiguous: fix truncation of numa_cma / cma_pernuma sizes >= 2GAlexander Graf
numa_cma=0:4G reserves nothing at all. dma_numa_cma_reserve() copies the requested size into a local int before handing it to cma_declare_contiguous_nid(), so 0x100000000 truncates to zero and the loop skips the node silently. Both parameters are documented in kernel-parameters.txt as nn[MG], so that is the syntax the documentation invites. Which bits survive decides what a request turns into: 4G, 8G and 16G reserve nothing, 2G, 3G and 6G sign-extend into a size the allocator rejects with a warning, and 5G quietly reserves 1G. It reaches further than those parameters. On a CMA_SIZE_PERNUMA kernel with no per-node parameter, dma_numa_cma_reserve() takes the per-node size from the default area, so a plain cma=4G on a multi-node machine feeds that size through the same local and loses every per-node area. numa_cma_size[] and pernuma_size_bytes are both phys_addr_t, so use it for the local too, and give early_numa_cma() separate variables for the node id and the size while in there.

Revert commit 1b0866874833 ("locking: Switch to _irq_{disable,enable}() variants in cleanup guards"). While the guards are properly nested, not all wrapped code is nice, as already highlighted by that fair.c hunk. Syzbot found another instance of this pattern in posix_timer_delete(), which does spin_unlock_irq()+spin_lock_irq() inside scoped_guard(spinlock_irq). Combined with this patch, that goes sideways most spectacular. Undo this until we've developed stronger tools / debug for such issues.

9 daystracing: Fix use-after-free in trace_pipe read on sub-buffer order changeDeepanshu Kartikey
Writing to buffer_subbuf_size_kb calls ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set(), which frees every sub-buffer of the ring buffer, including the reader page, and replaces them with newly allocated ones. Readers of trace_pipe hold pointers into those pages. ring_buffer_peek() looks up an event under cpu_buffer->reader_lock but returns the event pointer after dropping the lock, and peek_next_entry() then calls ring_buffer_event_length() and ring_buffer_event_data() on it. If the sub-buffer order is changed in that window, the reader dereferences freed memory: BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in ring_buffer_peek+0x3e0/0x430 Read of size 1 at addr ffff88802a4cf010 by task syz-executor989/6002 Freed by: free_buffer_page kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c:398 [inline] ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set+0x1325/0x18e0 kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c:7444 buffer_subbuf_size_write+0x182/0x280 kernel/trace/trace.c:8221 Take trace_access_lock(RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS) around the order change. This is the lock trace_pipe readers already hold across their entire peek-and-print loop, so the swap can no longer race with a reader that is dereferencing a peeked event.

9 daystracing: Fix crash passing ERR_PTR to kthread_stop()Hui Su
event_test_stuff() calls kthread_run() and unconditionally passes the returned task_struct pointer to kthread_stop(). kthread_run() returns an error pointer such as ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) when kthread creation fails, for example under memory pressure during the boot-time event self-test. kthread_stop() then dereferences the invalid pointer, crashing the kernel. Check the result of kthread_run() before passing it to kthread_stop(). Use WARN_ON() so that a failure to create the self-test thread does not go unnoticed, matching the ring-buffer self-test fix in commit 91542863abad ("ring-buffer: Fix crash passing ERR_PTR to kthread_stop()").

9 daystracing: Fix use-after-free with same-name named triggersHui Su
When two hist triggers on different events are registered with the same name=, the second one reuses the first as named_data. Both are added to tr->hist_vars by save_hist_vars() during event_hist_trigger_parse(), because save_hist_vars() is called before event_trigger_register() while the named reuse is only detected later, in hist_register_trigger(). In the named-data branch hist_register_trigger() then frees the second histogram's hist_data via destroy_hist_data(), but never removes its tr->hist_vars list entry, leaving a dangling pointer and leaking the trace_array reference it holds. A later hist trigger that references a variable makes find_var_file() walk tr->hist_vars and dereference the freed hist_data. The bug is reproducible from userspace by writing three hist triggers to tracefs: cd /sys/kernel/tracing echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:x=common_pid:name=mh' > events/sched/sched_switch/trigger echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:x=common_pid:name=mh' > events/sched/sched_process_fork/trigger echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:vals=$x' > events/sched/sched_process_exit/trigger The third write panics the kernel: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in find_var_file.part.0+0x272/0x290 Read of size 8 at addr ffff888001f8a0e0 by task sh/1 CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 1 Comm: sh Tainted: G D N Call Trace: find_var_file.part.0 find_event_var parse_atom parse_expr __create_val_field event_hist_trigger_parse trigger_process_regex event_trigger_write vfs_write ksys_write do_syscall_64 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe Allocated by task 1: event_hist_trigger_parse Freed by task 1: hist_register_trigger+0x618/0xa30 event_hist_trigger_parse The buggy address belongs to freed 2048-byte region Oops: general protection fault ...

"mm/damon: refactor damon_{start,stop,commit}() for simple error handling" (SJ Park) Refactor the DAMON core API functions to guarantee that all contexts are fully stopped when damon_start(), damon_stop(), or damon_commit() fail, eliminating the need for complex and error-prone caller-side cleanup code - "Keep tail page private zero at free and folio split" (Zi Yan) Add checks to ensure tail_page->private is zero when freeing compound or high-order pages and when promoting tail pages during large folio splits. By validating these fields at free and split time, it allows the removal of redundant private field clearing inside prep_compound_tail() - "mm: drop redundant lru_add_drain in anon folio reuse paths" (Barry Song) Eliminate redundant lru_add_drain() calls in wp_can_reuse_anon_folio() and do_swap_page() to reduce LRU lock contention and system overhead By validating folio refcounts against the LRU cache before draining and removing unnecessary drains in the swap path, it achieves up to a 30.5% reduction in drain calls during heavy swap workloads - "mm: clean up folio LRU and swap declarations" (Jianyue Wu) Reorganize folio LRU and swap code by relocating page-cluster state to mm/swap_state.c, renaming mm/swap.c to mm/folio.c, and moving MM-internal reclaim declarations into mm/internal.h. - "userfaultfd: working set tracking for VM guest memory" (Kiryl Shutsemau) Add userfaultfd support for tracking the working set of VM guest memory, so a VMM can identify hot pages and reclaim cold ones to tiered or remote storage - "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part 2)" (David Hildenbrand) Remove the remaining pieces of CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE, performing some smaller cleanups around freeing of reserved vmemmap pages on the way. - "mm/damon: update probe hits for runtime parameter commits" (SJ Park) Ensure that DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter is properly updated when monitoring intervals are changed at runtime, matching the behavior of nr_accesses. To achieve this, it refactors and renames existing helper functions for shared use, applies the updates to probe_hits, and handles edge cases in damon_probe_hits_mvsum() to maintain measurement accuracy. - "KSM: performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm" (xu xin) Resolve a severe KSM reverse-mapping performance bottleneck where thousands of split VMAs sharing a single anon_vma cause extended lock contention. By adding an interval-filtering check during the rmap walk, it reduces worst-case anon_vma lock hold times from over 500ms down to under 2ms, preventing application freezes and latency spikes under memory pressure. - "mm: split a couple of headers from internal.h" (Mike Rapoport) Split declarations related to mm_init, memblock, vmalloc and sparse into new headers - "KSM: use linear_page_index in collect_procs_ksm()" (xu xin) Apply the interval tree optimization from rmap_walk_ksm() to collect_procs_ksm() to avoid iterating over non-matching VMAs during KSM memory error handling. It hoists loop-invariant address initialization and restricts the anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach walk to a targeted page offset range, reducing redundant checks and improving lookup efficiency. - "selftests/mm: avoid false failures in hugetlb and KSM tests" (Sayali Patil) Fix issues in the hugetlb and KSM MM selftest categories that can report failures when the prerequisites for the tests are not satisfied - "mm/damon: introduce data attributes only monitoring" (SJ Park) Introduce attribute-weighted region management in DAMON, allowing users to prioritize specific data attributes (such as page sizes or cgroups) over or instead of access monitoring. By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely disable access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on weighted probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for attribute-focused workloads. - "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for userfaultfd-backed mappings" (Stanislav Kinsburskii) Extend hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by allowing the mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new hmm_range_fault_locked() helper. By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd regions while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers. - "mm: make VMA page offset handling more consistent" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Clean up and standardize how vma->vm_pgoff is accessed and manipulated across file-backed and anonymous mappings in the kernel It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(), vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while renaming rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their functionality. These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that will unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd folios. - "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" (Usama Arif) Address kernel panics and state corruption caused by MM walk callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries created during HMM migrations It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock() properly recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present THP or a standard migration entry. - "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" (Dev Jain) Refactor try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb, anonymous-lazyfree, and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated functions, laying the structural groundwork for batched anonymous large folio unmapping. - "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and additions" (Song Hu) Fix typos and fills in missing entries in the DAMON sysfs ABI document - "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs" (Gregory Price) Introduce an atomic sysfs state attribute and supporting DAX/MM infrastructure to prevent userland races when offlining and removing entire memory regions By adding an unplugged state alongside standard online modes, it enables whole-device atomic hotplug control while preserving backward compatibility. - "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Continue transitioning the kernel from the deprecated vm_flags_t type to vma_flags_t across core memory management infrastructure. It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(), unmapped area allocation, mm->def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like mlock, mprotect, and mremap. - "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" (xu xin) Refactor mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify duplicate slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM. It also adds code documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions. - "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields" (SJ Park) Clean up DAMON core structures by consistently marking internal-only fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper direct access from outer layers. It enforces encapsulation across core structures including damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct members. - "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races" (SJ Park) Address potential infinite loops, NULL dereferences, and race conditions identified in DAMON It fixes an infinite loop triggered by extreme user configurations, a NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races. - "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on RT/UP" (Brendan Jackman) Fix an NMI safety flaw in __free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks via non-PCP or isolated migration paths. It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory hotplug or large allocation frees. - "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent cleanups" (Brendan Jackman) Clean up and update page allocator nomenclature, documentation, and debug assertions. It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete VM_BUG_ON() assertions in allocation paths. - "mm/mseal: further cleanups" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Refactor and simplify the mseal implementation by clarifying API boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity. It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO, eliminates mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only to current->mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no functional changes intended. - "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive reclaim" (Ridong Chen) Resolve reclaim behavior bugs and clean up function parameters across memory reclaim paths It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead of collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete gfp_mask parameter from __node_reclaim(). - "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" (Kefeng Wang) Clean up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it removes the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP pages as non-resident. - "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants" (Kiryl Shutsemau) Two trivial cleanups in the folio split API - "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit exec expectation bugs" (SJ Park) Resolve minor operational and testing bugs in DAMON identified by Sashiko.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/sched_ext Pull sched_ext updates from Tejun Heo: "Most of this cycle completes the enqueue-path support for hierarchical sub-scheduling, which makes sub-scheduler support feature complete: a root BPF scheduler can now hand a cgroup subtree over to a nested sub-scheduler together with revocable CPU grants, and the sub-scheduler owns all scheduling decisions for its tasks on those CPUs. Development volume was high and a number of changes plugging holes in the new support landed late in the cycle. Also included are core scheduling fixes that were completed too late for the v7.2 release and are routed through this pull request. Sub-scheduler CPU delegation: - Parent schedulers now grant and revoke per-CPU capabilities (enqueueing, preemption, CPU frequency control) on their children, enforced on every path a scheduler can reach a CPU through. Previously only dispatching could be delegated; this lets sub-schedulers fully schedule their CPUs. - Rescue execution: a task whose scheduler doesn't have access to the CPUs the task needs to run on starved until the watchdog ejected the whole scheduler. The kernel now runs such tasks directly on a small bandwidth budget, turning a scheduler-killing failure into bounded degradation. - Cgroup integration: tasks migrating across a sub-scheduler boundary weren't re-homed to the new owner, causing wrong-scheduler scheduling and a use-after-free. Sub-schedulers now take over their cgroup subtree and receive its cgroup callbacks. - Arena objects now cross the kernel/BPF boundary as typed pointer arguments, translated transparently by the BPF tree's new arena argument support, replacing untyped arguments with manual translation. - scx_qmap now demonstrates full hierarchical sub-scheduling. Other fixes and updates: - Robustness improvements: the abort path is now NMI-safe, fixing deadlocks when errors are raised from NMI context and making hardlockup recovery direct. Reenqueue loops that could monopolize a CPU ahead of the watchdog now eject the offending scheduler, and stalls are blamed on the scheduler actually responsible. - Hardening: BPF-writable arena memory is validated before kernel use, and task slice and vtime writes got explicit synchronization rules, closing corruption vectors open to buggy or malicious schedulers. - Core scheduling: sched_ext dispatching can drop the rq lock inside the core-wide pick, which let interleaving selections corrupt each other's state and hard-hang the machine. The selection now restarts when the lock was released. The task ordering callback was also invoked with its arguments swapped, and the default ordering is updated to work across sub-scheduler boundaries. The fixes are marked for stable. - Other fixes headed for stable: a task init leak on fork failure during enable, tooling compat macros that silently failed to detect newer kernels, and a crash on reenqueueing against a destroyed dispatch queue. - Tooling: scx_pair moves off deprecated callbacks, and the deprecated scx_bpf_cpu_rq() kfunc is removed" * tag 'sched_ext-for-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/sched_ext: (144 commits) sched_ext: Drop the dead SCX_DEQ_CORE_SCHED_EXEC test in dequeue_task_scx() sched_ext: Make core-sched task ordering hierarchy-aware sched_ext: Use runnable_at for the default core-sched task ordering sched_ext: Fix inverted ops.core_sched_before() invocation sched_ext: Move the config-off sub-cap kfunc stubs into sub.c sched_ext: Rename balance-era identifiers to dispatch terms sched_ext: Drop the stale keep_prev fixup in dispatch_pick() sched_ext: Keep kick_sync waiting on the rq's own CPU sched_ext: Make SCHED_CLASS_EXT select GENERIC_ALLOCATOR sched_ext/scx_flatcg: Fix cvtime true-up on slice expiry sched_ext: Don't BUG_ON a destroyed DSQ in process_deferred_reenq_users sched_ext: Fix scx_bpf_dsq_move_to_local___v2 compat detection sched_ext: Make scx_bpf_events() read the calling scheduler's counters sched_ext: Drop unlocked scx_rq_clock_invalidate() from scx_root_disable() selftests/sched_ext: Fix flaky ddsp failure tests on busy systems selftests/sched_ext: Make numa idle validation race-free sched_ext: Fix scx_bpf_dsq_reenq___compat kfunc extern prototype sched_ext/scx_flatcg: expire cached hweights on weight changes sched_ext: Fix exit_task leak on fork failure during enable sched_ext: fix stale references in doc comments ...

Rebinding also now runs once per process instead of repeating for every thread sharing the mm. - Overhead removals with no behavior change: CPU hotplug iterated tasks of cpusets that just inherit the parent's effective masks, and the slab-spreading task flag was still being maintained although the SLAB allocator that consumed it is long gone. - Data-race annotations for benign races so that KCSAN reports stay meaningful, selftest coverage for the fixes above along with flakiness and portability fixes, and documentation corrections. * tag 'cgroup-for-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: (34 commits) selftests/cgroup: Remove redundant chown in test_cgcore_lesser_ns_open selftests/cgroup: Preserve CPU hotplug write errors cgroup/cpuset: Add test for partition root invalidation returning wrong CPUs cgroup/cpuset: Remove obsolete PFA_SPREAD_SLAB task flag docs: cgroup-v2: fix stale "io" controller introduction selftests/cgroup: Avoid awk -e in cpuset tests cgroup/cpuset: Use WRITE_ONCE() for shared prs_err updates selftests/cgroup: add user_usec sanity check in test_cpucg_nice cgroup: drop unneeded semicolon docs: cgroup-v2: mark memory.pressure and io.pressure as read-write selftests/cgroup: Fix minor defects in test_cpuset Docs/admin-guide/cgroup-v2: fix delay_nsec unit in io.latency doc selftests/cgroup: Remove redundant cg_enter_current() call in test_core selftests/cgroup: Add test for cpuset affinity on controller disable cgroup/cpuset: Handle the special case of non-moving tasks in cpuset_can_attach() cgroup/cpuset: Support multiple destination cpusets for cpuset_*attach() selftests/cgroup: fix missing TAP output in test_hugetlb_memcg cgroup/cpuset: Support multiple source cpusets for cpuset_*attach() cgroup/cpuset: Move mpol_rebind_mm/cpuset_migrate_mm() calls inside cpuset_attach_task() cgroup/cpuset: Make attach_ctx.old_cs track task group leader ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "One of the 'small improvements all over the place' releases for us. It's hard to draw any direct comparisons because summer vacations disrupted our patch processing (and presumably - generation) quite a bit. Quick and dirty count suggests we (Paolo and I) merged a very similar number of net (632) and net-next (648) patches. This is not telling the full story either because 1/3 to 1/2 of the net-next patches also *seem* like AI-driven low priority fixes, cleanups and clarifications. We are completely overwhelmed, of course. The glimmer of hope is that we secured sufficient LLM budget and access (thank you Meta!) to run reviews with multiple frontier models on each patch. This eliminates some hallucinations. That said, in terms of review, the LLMs can only do so much. The sad truth is that our APIs (especially for rare events like PCIe errors, timeouts etc) have always been racy, and now LLMs don't let us ignore that. I expect our direction for the next release will be to tweak the reviews a little bit more, but start shifting focus to letting the LLMs take care of the busy work - managing patchwork, automating common process complaints, editing commit messages, and maybe applying patches which already got "reviewed-by" tags from people we trust...

12 dayssched/fair: Floor tg_cpus() at 1Jake Steinman
tg_cpus() returns cpuset_num_cpus() unfloored, while its sibling tg_tasks() already floors its result at 1. calc_concur_shares() feeds nr = min(tg_tasks(tg), tg_cpus(tg)) into __calc_smp_shares() as shares_max, so an nr of 0 makes shares_max 0. __calc_smp_shares() ends with return clamp_t(long, shares, MIN_SHARES, shares_max); and clamp() yields hi when hi < lo, so a zero shares_max silently defeats the MIN_SHARES floor and returns 0 -- the exact case the comment above that line says must return MIN_SHARES instead of 0. That leaves a group sched_entity with load.weight == 0, and __calc_prop_weight() then divides by cfs_rq->load.weight: weight *= se->load.weight; if (parent_entity(se)) weight /= cfs_rq->load.weight; which takes a #DE inside enqueue_task_fair(): Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI RIP: 0010:enqueue_task_fair+0x422/0x950 Call Trace: <TASK> enqueue_task+0x8e/0x250 wake_up_new_task+0x148/0x2e0 kernel_clone+0x1c6/0x390 __x64_sys_clone+0xcc/0x100 do_syscall_64+0x147/0x3c0 </TASK> This is not survivable in practice: with panic_on_oops=0 the kernel took the first #DE and continued for 476 ms, then faulted at the same RIP with identical register state and an identical RSP, because the oops recovery path (kill task -> schedule()) re-enters the same enqueue while the rq lock is held mid-enqueue. The second fault escalates to a panic. Flooring tg_cpus() at 1 makes it symmetric with tg_tasks() and keeps shares_max >= tg_shares, so the MIN_SHARES floor in __calc_smp_shares() can no longer be bypassed. Note this only removes the division hazard. Whether cpuset_num_cpus() can legitimately return 0 -- via the cpu hotplug/suspend path where a v2 cpuset may transiently become empty, or via an RCU race -- is a separate question still open on the report thread.

12 daysprctl: fix PR_SET_MM_AUXV losing the forced AT_NULL terminatorBradley Morgan
prctl_set_auxv() copies the user vector into a stack buffer, forces AT_NULL on the last two entries there, and then copies only len bytes into mm->saved_auxv. Which is fine until the vector is shorter than the buffer, because then the forced terminator sits past the end of the copy and never lands in saved_auxv at all. The code even says /* Make sure the last entry is always AT_NULL */ and it does, just not in the part that gets copied. So mm->saved_auxv keeps the stale tail from exec. Reproducing it is easy: from a process with CAP_SYS_RESOURCE (just run it as root), call prctl(PR_SET_MM, PR_SET_MM_AUXV, ...) with a vector that has a couple of entries and no AT_NULL inside len (32 bytes on arm64), and then hexdump /proc/self/auxv, or gcore the process and look at the AUXV note with readelf -n. This is arm64, the new vector was just { AT_UID, 0x1111, AT_GID, 0x2222 }: idx before (from exec) after the prctl [0] AT_SYSINFO_EHDR 0x7ed1d6e000 AT_UID 0x1111 <- new [1] AT_MINSIGSTKSZ 0x1270 AT_GID 0x2222 <- new [2] AT_HWCAP 0x119fff AT_HWCAP 0x119fff <- stale [3] AT_PAGESZ 0x1000 AT_PAGESZ 0x1000 <- stale ... 16 more entries ... <- stale [20] AT_NULL 0x0 AT_NULL 0x0 21 entries before the prctl, still 21 after: the two new ones plus all 19 left over from exec. Every consumer walks the vector until AT_NULL, so what they get now is a vector that never existed at exec, the head from the prctl glued onto the tail of the old binary. gdb and crash pull the AUXV note out of coredumps to find AT_PHDR, AT_ENTRY, AT_SYSINFO_EHDR and friends, and a mixed vector points them at the wrong layout. /proc/<pid>/auxv and PR_GET_AUXV hand the same mess out to live processes too. Nothing crashes, everything just quietly reads a frankenstein auxv. And callers that terminate their own vector hide the whole thing, which is likely why nobody noticed since PR_SET_MM_AUXV landed in 2012. Nothing exciting security wise either, I mean it needs CAP_SYS_RESOURCE to begin with. prctl_set_mm_map() right above already copies the whole buffer for exactly this reason, so just do the same here. user_auxv is zero initialized and only partially filled from userspace, so the rest is zeros and nothing leaks.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt: - Remove unneeded semicolon A macro ended with a semicolon that wasn't needed. - Fix freeing cpu_buffer extra subbuffer with order greater than zero When the cpu_buffer was being freed, its "free" page, was using free_page() to free it when it could be more than one page. - Hold the cpu_buffer lock when resizing the subbuffer The freeing of the "free" page of the cpu_buffer was done without locking. The order of the data was being saved and then the "free" page was set to NULL. But there is a race that the "free" page could have been updated between those two operations. Add locking around it to prevent the race. - Save the order of the data along with the data in the free page The cpu_buffer would store just the data portion of the subbuffer page in its descriptor. But it did not store the order of the data pages. The order was being saved in the global buffer descriptor. But this leads to races. Have the cpu_buffer save the subbuf data along with its metadata (which includes the order of the page) to make sure when it frees it, it frees the correct order along with it. - Remove the subbuf_size and use the order directly when needed Having a size field for the size of the subbufer along with its order allowed for races to have them get out of sync. Remove the subbuf_size and use the order from the subbuf meta data directly under locks. Use the subbuf_order for other calculations in the ring buffer. - Remove the useless "cpus" field of trace_buffer The code has been restructured and the "cpus" field is no longer used. Remove it. - Remove the "mapped" field of the ring buffer and use a helper function instead. The "mapped" field has become a bit overused and made the code come complex in using a counter for what is denoted as being mapped or not. There are other fields that are set when the ring buffer is considered mapped. Add a helper function to check those fields and use that instead of keeping track of a counter. * tag 'trace-ringbuffer-v7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: ring-buffer: Remove ring_buffer_per_cpu::mapped ring-buffer: Remove trace_buffer::cpus ring-buffer: Dynamically calculate max_data_size ring-buffer: Fix subbuf resize race with ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() ring-buffer: Fix subbuf resize race with ring buffer readers ring-buffer: Make cpu_buffer::free_page a buffer_data_read_page ring-buffer: Hold cpu_buffer::lock when resizing a subbuf ring-buffer: Free cpu_buffer::free_page with subbuf_order ring-buffer: drop unneeded semicolon
