2026-10-08mm: trace: decode arm64 and sparc64 VM_ARCH_1 flagsMeijing Zhao
Patch series "mm: trace: decode architecture-specific VMA flags", v2. show_vma_flags(), which is used by VMA tracepoints and %pGv, names generic VM_* bits but does not fully decode architecture-specific flag positions. As a result, trace output and VMA dumps can show a generic "arch_1" name or a raw hexadecimal value instead of the meaning assigned by the target architecture. This series adds symbolic names for the arm64 and sparc64 meanings of VM_ARCH_1, arm64 MTE flags, user shadow stack flags, and protection-key encoding bits under their corresponding configuration guards. This patch (of 3): The VM_ARCH_1 bit has architecture-specific meanings. show_vma_flags(), which is used by VMA tracepoints and %pGv, already reports the powerpc, parisc and no-MMU meanings, but falls back to the generic "arch_1" name on arm64 and sparc64. Report VM_ARM64_BTI as "bti" and VM_SPARC_ADI as "adi" so trace output and %pGv dumps expose the actual architecture-specific state.

2026-10-06mm: khugepaged: fix folio is used after folio_put/unlock()Vernon Yang
On the rollback path, folio_put() has already dropped the last reference of new_folio. On the success path, new_folio is already unlocked and can be freed concurrently.

2026-10-06mm: khugepaged: fix swap entry value to folio_pfn()Vernon Yang
Patch series "mm: khugepaged: fix tracepoint UAF", v5. The khugepaged tracepoints take a folio pointer and call folio_pfn(), but by then the folio may no longer be valid: freed after folio_put(), folio_unlock() or pte_unmap_unlock(), or not a folio at all but an xarray-encoded swap entry. On classic SPARSEMEM, dereferencing it oopses khugepaged as soon as the trace event is enabled; on other memory models it merely prints a bogus pfn. Pass the pfn to the tracepoints directly, captured while the folio is still pinned, closing the use-after-free windows in mm_khugepaged_scan_file(), mm_khugepaged_scan_pmd() and mm_khugepaged_collapse_file(). This patch (of 3): When the swap entries found exceed max_ptes_swap, the loop is left via break with folio still holding the xarray value that encodes the swap entry, not valid folio pointer. That value is passed to trace_mm_khugepaged_scan_file(), which feeds it to folio_pfn(). On FLATMEM and SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, the page_to_pfn() is plain pointer arithmetic, so the trace event merely prints bogus scan_pfn. On classic SPARSEMEM, the page_to_pfn() reads page->flags, dereferencing the tiny encoded integer and oopsing khugepaged whenever the trace event is enabled. So when folio is the swap entry value, simply set pfn to -1, just like exhausted scan naturally. And the folio_put() has maybe dropped the last reference of folio. The trace_mm_khugepaged_scan_file() is left with a dangling folio pointer. so using the folio_pfn() before dropping the reference, closing use-after-free window.

2026-10-06netfs: Remove the writethrough codeDavid Howells
Remove the netfs writethrough code as it's very tricky to get the locking right and it will probably deadlock if used in conjunction with Ceph snapshots because it excludes writeback for the duration, but to flush out old snapshots, it does a synchronous flush that invokes writeback. Instead, O_SYNC writes do a flush after performing the write - which is already there as the callers of netfs_perform_write() all call generic_write_sync().

2026-10-04NFSD: Replace the use of include/trace/misc/nfs.hChuck Lever
fs/nfsd/trace.h includes include/trace/misc/nfs.h for show_nfs4_seq4_status() and show_rca_mask(). That header pulls in linux/nfs.h, so every NFSD translation unit that reads trace.h also sees the NFS_OK, NFSERR_*, and file-type enumerators. I'm about to switch fs/nfsd/nfserr.h to an xdrgen-generated header, which defines enum nfsstat and enum ftype with those same names. Any translation unit that includes both headers then fails to build with enumerator redefinition errors. To address this, stop including trace/misc/nfs.h in fs/nfsd/trace.h.

2026-10-04NFSD: Resolve the recall-any mask names in the trace formatChuck Lever
RCA4_TYPE_MASK_* are enum constants, so the preprocessor cannot fold them into the print format that show_rca_mask() builds for the nfsd_cb_recall_any event. Nothing declares an eval map for them either, so trace_event_eval_update() has no substitution to apply at module load, and the event's format file ships the enumerator names verbatim. trace-cmd and perf cannot decode the bmval0 field. Declare the eval maps for the nine mask bits show_rca_mask() decodes. The format then carries the shift counts as integers, the same shape the SUNRPC trace points already emit from their BIT() flag decoders.

2026-09-22landlock: Widen ruleset versions to 64 bitsMickaël Salaün
Tracepoint consumers use a ruleset ID and version to identify the successful landlock_add_rule(2) call prefix used to create a domain. LANDLOCK_MAX_NUM_RULES bounds distinct stored rules, not successful calls: re-adding already-present rights for an object or port succeeds without increasing num_rules. Because every successful call increments the version, these calls can wrap the 32-bit counter and give different prefixes the same trace identity. Widen the counter and its trace fields to 64 bits so the counter cannot wrap in practice, while preserving the successful-call semantics. Saturating would alias all subsequent histories, while rejecting a call at the limit would change otherwise valid syscall behavior solely for trace metadata.

2026-09-20landlock: Report the actual ptrace tracerMickaël Salaün
The ptrace denial callback identifies only the tracee. Current is the tracer during hook_ptrace_access_check(), but it is the tracee during PTRACE_TRACEME, where the parent is the actual tracer. A consumer therefore cannot infer both parties from the existing arguments. Append the actual tracer task to the typed-BPF callback: current for hook_ptrace_access_check() and parent for hook_ptrace_traceme(). Carry it with the tracee domain ID in a private ptrace context. Both hooks keep the selected tasks alive through synchronous dispatch, so no extra task reference is needed. Keep the tracefs record unchanged. The new context is available only to typed BPF, while same_exec continues to describe the tracer that owns the denying policy.

2026-09-20landlock: Fix network denial trace contextMickaël Salaün
Network denial events report source and destination ports reconstructed from audit data. Their zero values are ambiguous, and neither identifies the complete endpoint that Landlock checked. Carry the checked sockaddr and its signed length in a private trace-only context. For an enabled event, validate the length and copy only the initialized prefix into zeroed local storage. This prevents a typed BPF program from reading uninitialized bytes while exposing the socket family, socket, address, and length. Replace the source and destination trace-record fields with one signed port derived from the checked address. A value of -1 means that no port was checked, zero is a valid port, and positive values use host endianness. Bind blockers select the bind address; connect and send blockers select the destination.

2026-09-20landlock: Fix rule tracepoint contextMickaël Salaün
Name each event after the identity it reports. Add-rule events describe UAPI rule insertion, so rename them after LANDLOCK_RULE_PATH_BENEATH and LANDLOCK_RULE_NET_PORT. Check-rule events describe matches in internal rule trees, so rename them after LANDLOCK_KEY_INODE and LANDLOCK_KEY_NET_PORT. This remains accurate if multiple UAPI rule types share one lookup and stored rule. Keep denial event names based on filesystem and network families because they describe final access decisions. Use u64 for growable access masks passed by value to add-rule and check-rule typed BTF callbacks. CO-RE can relocate pointer-reached fields, but it cannot widen a scalar callback slot declared by a BPF program. Keep native access_mask_t for internal state and trace records. For add-rule callbacks, report the normalized per-call contribution passed to landlock_insert_rule() and expose the complete validated flags value. Put the ruleset and flags first as a common invocation prefix. This distinguishes duplicate and effective-zero additions without recovering arguments from saved syscall registers.

Filesystem topology denials are rendered with an empty blockers value because their blocker is identified by the request type instead of an access mask. Introduce the private struct landlock_blockers to carry the request type and final missing access mask to filesystem and network denial tracepoints. Copy both members into named trace-record fields, then use the type to print change_topology for topology denials while preserving symbolic access masks for ordinary denials. The request type lets typed BPF consumers distinguish topology denials from access denials. Keeping the native access mask in a pointer-reached field also lets CO-RE adjust existing programs' load width if access_mask_t grows.

2026-09-18driver core: add TAINT_FORCED_BIND for when userspace manually messes with ↵Greg Kroah-Hartman
devices and drivers The ability to add and remove devices from a driver through the sysfs "bind" and "unbind" files was created all those decades ago as a way that kernel developers can iterate faster, and provide a debugging way for users to attempt to add a new device to a driver without having to rebuild their kernel. This api over the years has been abused and recently come under a major fuzzing "attack" through tools like syzbot which decided that it would attempt to just randomly bind any driver to any type of device, causing loads of unneeded errors and pointless kernel patches to be generated by unsuspecting new developers. Handle all of this by adding a new taint flag, TAINT_FORCED_BIND, which will be set on the driver if the bind/unbind sysfs files are ever written to. This lets kernel developers "know" that a user is attempting to do something that is not normal, and as such, if the kernel breaks they get to keep the shiny pieces laying around on the floor. The flag is 'Y' which was unused, and can remembered as the user is "yeeting" the device being operated on here (thrown with force without regard for the thing being thrown). Note, the taint flag gets set _BEFORE_ the bind/unbind callback happens, as many times crashes/oops/warnings/failures happen within the callback, and the taint flag needs to be there to show what was being attempted. If it were to be set after the callback happens, the oops report would not properly reflect what foolishness was being attempted. Fuzzing tools like syzbot, that doesn't have hand-crafted rules to keep the tool from hitting bind/unbind, should be run with panic_on_taint enabled so that they fall over and don't continue on, thinking that they actually found a real issue. Userspace operations that rely on the bind/unbind files to work around the lack of will to upgrade a kernel image to a newer version with proper support for new devices, or the lack of will to submit valid device ids to driver authors, will still work properly, but now the kernel will be flagged in a way that will show that perhaps those users should reconsider their behavior and work to have the drivers properly support these devices in a "native" manner. Finally, the bind/unbind files can find real use-after-free issues with some drivers by forcing the process to happen virtually without having to rely on manual removal processes. Those real bugs should still be worked on, but by adding this taint flag, developers can more easily determine bug reports that are actually worth looking at.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Don't destroy user event fields when removal fails User event fields are destroyed before the event is removed from visibility. But that can fail leaving the still visible event with no fields. Move the destroying of the fields to after the event is successfully removed from visibility. - Initialize function graph state is fork before calling copy_exec_state() For non-CLONE_VM forks, copy_exec_state() allocates a new task_exec_state. If that allocation fails, ftrace_graph_exit_task() will free the tasks ret_stack pointer. Since that pointer is still using the parent's ret_stack, it mistakenly frees the parent's pointer too. Call ftrace_graph_init() on the task first which will NULL out the new tasks's ret_stack and if the copy fails, it will not free anything. - Remove FGRAPH_MAX_INDEX The macro FGRAPH_MAX_INDEX was added but never used. Remove it. - Save ent_size in function graph printing of nested functions The function graph tracer needs to look at the next event to see if the next event is the return of the current function entry. If it is, it prints a single line: ktime_get(); Otherwise it prints it like a nested function: tick_nohz_irq_exit() { ktime_get(); kcpustat_irq_exit(); } In order to look at the next event, it must save the current event so that it has the information to print from it. It saves the event in the iterator descriptor called "ent". What it doesn't save is the ent_size of the event which is now used to know if the function graph arguments are to be printed. The peek doesn't save the size so the size used happens to be that of the size of the last event that was seen. Save the entry event size in the iterator descriptor so that the correct size is used. - Fix several errors with freeing data in the histogram code The histogram code had a lot of leaked or or incorrect accounting when failures happen. Correct them. - Fix histogram regression of .percent and .graph modifiers Up until 6.3 histogram values could have "percent" or "graph" modifiers that changed how they were printed. But a change that added restricting histograms values from being strings, stack traces and other modifiers inadvertently prevented them from using the percent and graph modifiers, which were legal use cases for values. Put back the percent and graph modifiers. - Fix various typos in the comments - Set the trace_clock before initializing a histogram with clock argument The histogram API allows the user to specific which trace clock to use via a "clock=" string. The histogram is set up first before the clock is checked. If the passed in clock is not valid, it exits without fully fixing up the histogram leaving it on the list and a use-after-free can trigger. Update the clock argument first and if it fails then exit gracefully before the histogram trigger is placed on any lists. - Restore :mod: trailer after parsing in ftrace_set_clr_event The function ftrace_set_clr_event() modifies the parse string and needs to put it back to what was passed in. It searches for ":mod:" via a strsep() but fails to put back the first ':' in the string. Add back the ':' in the passed in string. - Take trace_array reference when opening a tracer options file The options files are dynamically created and some tracers add their own options. When a tracer adds their own list of options, the trace_array holding them has an array to hold the list of options for each tracer. This array increases in size via a krealloc(), and the new entry gets a newly allocated array to hold the options of the new tracer being added. The element in each entry of the tracer's option array holds a pointer back to the trace_array, a pointer to the tracer it is associated to, a pointer to the flags of the option. The issue is that these arrays are freed when the trace_array is freed when its instance it represents is removed from the instances directory. There's a race that an open of one of these options files can happen when the instance is being removed. Add a new helper function to be called by the open function of the options file to iterate all existing trace_arrays under a lock and find the one that has the given option element in one of it's tracer arrays. If found, then update the associated trace_array's reference counter to keep it from being freed. If not found, have the open call return -ENODEV. - Disable interrupts when acquiring the lock in rb_wake_up_waiters() The function rb_wake_up_waiters() assumes it will be called in interrupt context and does not disable irqs when taking cpu_buffer->reader_lock, which can be called in hard interrupt context. The issue is in PREEMPT_RT, this function is called in thread context leaving this lock open to a deadlock. Take the lock with interrupts disabled. - Use rcu_assign_pointer() for tmp_ops filter hash The tmp_ops used in update_ftrace_direct_mod() assigns its filter_hash field directly, but that field is annotated as __rcu and sparse complains. Assign it with rcu_assign_pointer() - Fix use-after-free in enable_trigger_private_data_free() The trace_event_call is accessed through the event_trigger_data's trace_event_file pointer to put the trace_event_call on freeing. The issue is that the trace_event_file data may have been freed already causing a use-after-free. Add a field to the event_trigger_data that points directly to the trace_event_call so that it can decrement its reference directly without needing to go through the trace_event_file. - Fix accounting of buffer data remote headers trace_buffer_desc_size() and trace_remote_alloc_buffer() undercount the number of pages is needed for the asked for size as it doesn't take into account the meta data on each page. Add a helper function to do the calculation properly and use that in these functions. - Catch nr_page_va overflow in ring_buffer_desc sizing The number of pages per remote ring buffer is capped by ring_buffer_desc::nr_page_va (32 bits). A buffer_size large enough to overflow that field would silently allocate a descriptor smaller than what was asked for. - Do not resize the subbuf order if any per_cpu buffer is disabled The mmapping of ring buffers disables resizing the subbuffers, but it is done per-cpu whereas the subbuf size change is done for all the per_cpu buffers under the buffer->mutex. It could change the size of some while the mapping is happening on others. Have the resize of the subbuf order check all the per_cpu buffers under the lock to see if any of them is disabled before starting and causing an inconsistency between buffers that are being mapped. * tag 'trace-v7.3-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (25 commits) ring-buffer: Check resize_disabled before publishing the new subbuf order tracing/remotes: Catch nr_page_va overflow in ring_buffer_desc sizing tracing/remotes: Account for ring buffer page header in size calculation tracing: Don't dereference trace_event_file in deferred trigger free ftrace: Use rcu_assign_pointer() for tmp_ops filter hash ring-buffer: Acquire the lock with irqsave in rb_wake_up_waiters() tracing: Take trace_array reference when opening a tracer options file tracing: Fix ring_buffer_read_page_size() kernel-doc tracing: Restore :mod: trailer after parsing in ftrace_set_clr_event() tracing: Fix memory corruption from a "STACKTRACE" histogram key tracing: Fix memory corruption from the histogram stacktrace modifier tracing: Undo the registration when enabling the histogram trigger fails tracing: Take the reference before publishing the named histogram trigger tracing: Set the trace clock before registering the histogram trigger tracing: Fix typo "preceeded" in comment tracing: Fix typo "availabe" in comment tracing: Let histogram values keep the percent and graph modifiers tracing: Keep the entry count when the histogram stats allocation fails tracing: Free histogram the field rejected for a bad modifier tracing: Free histogram the var ref when its initialization fails ...

2026-09-09dma-mapping: don't trace the DMA address when the allocation failsDonggeun Yoo
dma_alloc_attrs() passes *dma_handle to trace_dma_alloc() without checking whether the allocation succeeded. No backend writes it on failure: dma_direct_alloc(), iommu_dma_alloc() and the dma_map_ops instances assign it only on the path that returns a buffer. Callers usually pass an uninitialized automatic variable, so a failed allocation records whatever the stack held, next to the virt_addr=(null) that marks the record as an error: dma_alloc: dmatrace dir=BIDIRECTIONAL dma_addr=deadbeefdeadbeef size=1099511627776 virt_addr=0000000000000000 The device coherent pool path reaches the same call: a non-zero return from dma_alloc_from_dev_coherent() means the request was handled, not that it succeeded, so cpu_addr is NULL and dma_handle is untouched once the pool runs out. For an allocation event a NULL virt_addr already means the request failed, so the address field carries nothing. Report 0 for it in the event class rather than at each call site, which covers dma_alloc_pages() and dma_alloc_sgt_err() as well.

2026-09-08landlock: Bound escaped trace path outputMickaël Salaün
Filesystem paths may expand fourfold when trace text escapes spaces and other untrusted bytes. A sufficiently long representation can exhaust the shared scratch sequence. A sibling __print_flags() helper may then return an unterminated one-past pointer because TP_printk() argument ordering is unspecified. Use a fixed budget rather than the scratch space available at call time, so output does not vary with sibling evaluation order. Limit an untrusted string to three quarters of the trace sequence, leaving the rest for sibling helpers and final event metadata. Compute and commit complete escaped output transactionally so an exact fill cannot consume the terminating NUL or poison the scratch sequence. For strings that exceed the limit, retain the largest prefix ending at a complete escape unit, then append a raw UTF-8 ellipsis. Keep the helper's existing octal fallback so complete values remain unchanged. Hex fallback would consume the same four bytes per escaped byte without increasing the prefix or strengthening the marker. ESCAPE_NAP renders every non-ASCII input byte in octal, so legitimate data cannot reproduce the marker without being escaped.

2026-09-04workqueue: Add workqueue_bh_budget_yield tracepointAaron Tomlin
Bottom-Half (BH) workqueues execute work items in softirq context. To prevent softirqs from starving user and kernel threads, bh_worker() enforces execution limits (i.e., BH_WORKER_JIFFIES and BH_WORKER_RESTARTS). When keep_working() is still true but either the time slice or restart count is exhausted, bh_worker() yields execution and re-raises the softirq via kick_bh_pool(). Currently, there is no observability into when a BH worker hits these limits and is forced to yield. Add the workqueue_bh_budget_yield tracepoint, emitted when bh_worker() exits the processing loop with pending work items remaining. It records, the worker pool ID, pool CPU, number of loop restarts consumed, a boolean flag indicating whether the yield was due to a time slice timeout, and a boolean flag indicating whether this is a high-priority BH pool.

2026-09-04workqueue: Add workqueue_mayday and workqueue_rescued tracepointsAaron Tomlin
When a worker pool fails to create a new worker thread (e.g., typically under severe memory pressure where memory reclaim paths depend on pending work items), send_mayday() signals distress to the workqueue's rescuer thread. The rescuer then takes over processing the pending work items via assign_rescuer_work(). While pwq->stats[PWQ_STAT_MAYDAY] and pwq->stats[PWQ_STAT_RESCUED] track these occurrences cumulatively, there is currently no event-driven mechanism to observe exactly when mayday distress occurs or which work items require rescue. Add two new tracepoints namely workqueue_mayday and workqueue_rescued to make distress and rescuer execution easily observable (e.g., via Ftrace or eBPF).

2026-09-04workqueue: Add workqueue_cpu_intensive tracepointAaron Tomlin
When a concurrency-managed per-CPU work item runs continuously without sleeping for longer than wq_cpu_intensive_thresh_us, wq_worker_tick() marks the worker as WORKER_CPU_INTENSIVE and kicks it out of concurrency management so that pending work items on the pool are not starved. While CONFIG_WQ_CPU_INTENSIVE_REPORT logs rate-limited warnings and pwq->stats[PWQ_STAT_CPU_INTENSIVE] maintains a cumulative counter, there is currently no tracepoint emitted at the moment of this transition. Therefore, add the workqueue_cpu_intensive tracepoint, recording the work_struct pointer and callback function pointer, workqueue name, executing CPU, and the runtime duration consumed in microseconds. This enables eBPF profilers, bpftrace, and Ftrace to immediately detect and attribute CPU-hogging work items in real time.

However, the data is of variable length and could even be 0 bytes. This could lead to a UAF or KASAN warning. Fix this by making sure the buffer has room for at least 8 bytes and that those 8 bytes are pre-cleared. Further, those bytes are not 8-byte aligned, so fix the tracepoint to extract the data as four 2-byte words (they are 2-byte aligned) and reassemble the __be64. The compiler will convert this into a single 8-byte load where the CPU supports it.

2026-08-31netfs: Fix read progress reportingDavid Howells
For really big read RPC ops that span multiple folios, netfslib allows the filesystem to give progress notifications to wake up the collector thread to do a collection of folios that have now been fetched, even if the RPC is still ongoing, thereby allowing the application to make progress. This works by taking the current rreq->cleaned_to value (which indicates which folios have been unlocked) and adding the stashed size of the next folio to it. cleaned_to, however, is subject to 64-bit tearing on a 32-bit arch. Fix this by stashing the next progress notification point as a size_t (which won't tear) to be added to rreq->start (which won't change), with the collector thread calculating that from cleaned_to plus the next folio size. Further, however, if the folios are small, the collector thread gets constantly woken up - which has a negative performance impact on the system. Fix that too by setting a minimum trigger of 256KiB or the size of the folio at the front of the queue, whichever is larger. Note that this has an issue that different subreqs have different need-to-be-cached properties; this is solved by a preceding patch that marks the property on the folios whilst issuing subreqs rather than when collecting them. Also, make sure rreq->cleaned_to is initialised up front, along with rreq->collected_to and stream->collected_to.

2026-08-31netfs: Mark folios with COPY_TO_CACHE whilst issuing subreqsDavid Howells
Mark folios with NETFS_FOLIO_COPY_TO_CACHE whilst issuing subreqs rather than when collecting them. This means that the collector thread doesn't have to try and keep track of which subreqs contribute to which folios - and thus which folios will need to be copied to the cache because at least one byte wasn't in the cache. Instead, this is marked on the folios up front and the collector need only consider the folios. For PG_private_2-using filesystems, PG_private_2 is set instead of NETFS_FOLIO_COPY_TO_CACHE, but otherwise it works the same. The NETFS_RREQ_COPY_TO_CACHE is replaced with NETFS_RREQ_CANCEL_CACHING, which is now set if caching fails somewhere, thereby causing the collection thread to cancel the copy-to-cache marks on the remaining folios.
