2026-08-10workqueue: skip the node_nr_active update for non-unbound workqueuesBreno Leitao
apply_wqattrs_commit() updates node_nr_active->max unconditionally. wq->node_nr_active[] is only allocated for unbound workqueues, so guard the call before per-cpu workqueues start using this path.

2026-08-10workqueue: rename alloc_unbound_pwq() to alloc_pwq()Breno Leitao
This allocates a pwq and binds it to the pool @attrs asks for. Which pool that is becomes a property of the attrs (once per-cpu becomes an affinity scope).

2026-08-10workqueue: allocate attrs for all workqueuesBreno Leitao
The attrs are where the affinity scope lives, and a per-cpu workqueue will need one once per-cpu becomes a scope rather than a separate backend. Allocate them unconditionally. wq_dump.py used a non-NULL wq->attrs as its test for an unbound workqueue, which no longer holds; test WQ_UNBOUND there instead.

2026-08-10workqueue: rename wq->unbound_attrs to wq->attrsBreno Leitao
The unbound prefix says which workqueues currently have the field rather than what it holds, and the next patch allocates it for every workqueue. Rename it first so that change stays a single line. tools/workqueue/wq_dump.py reads the field by name, so rename it there too. wq_sysfs_unbound_attrs[] keeps its name: it is the set of sysfs files that only unbound workqueues expose.

2026-08-10workqueue: test WQ_UNBOUND explicitly in the hotplug loopsBreno Leitao
workqueue_online_cpu() and workqueue_offline_cpu() decide whether a workqueue needs a pod affinity update by testing wq->unbound_attrs for NULL, which is only meaningful because the attrs are allocated for unbound workqueues alone.

2026-07-06workqueue: annotate racy sum_exec_runtime reads for CPU-intensive detectionBreno Leitao
The automatic CPU-intensive work item detection reads the worker task's se.sum_exec_runtime without a lock in wq_worker_running(), wq_worker_tick() and process_one_work(). The scheduler updates that field under the rq lock (from the tick via update_curr(), or cross-CPU via task_sched_runtime()), raising: BUG: KCSAN: data-race in wq_worker_running+0xa8/0xe8 race at unknown origin, with read to 0xffff0009a11d1df8 of 8 bytes by task 238535 on cpu 68: wq_worker_running schedule schedule_preempt_disabled __mutex_lock mutex_lock_nested cgroup_bpf_release process_one_work worker_thread kthread ret_from_fork value changed: 0x0000000088482ba0 -> 0x00000000884893c0 The value only feeds a heuristic, so the race is benign-ish. Unlike commit ecf5aad9a441 ("workqueue: annotate racy PWQ_STAT_CPU_TIME update in wq_worker_tick()") that only needs data_race(), these are plain reads whose result drives a subtraction and comparison, so use READ_ONCE() for a single, non-torn load, which also silences KCSAN.

2026-07-02workqueue: annotate racy PWQ_STAT_CPU_TIME update in wq_worker_tick()Breno Leitao
wq_worker_tick() bumps pwq->stats[PWQ_STAT_CPU_TIME] on every scheduler tick before pool->lock is taken. For unbound workqueues the pool_workqueue is shared by all workers of the pool across CPUs, so concurrent ticks on different CPUs perform an unsynchronized 64-bit read-modify-write on the same counter. KCSAN reports this as a data-race: BUG: KCSAN: data-race in wq_worker_tick / wq_worker_tick read-write to 0xffff0004d6989500 of 8 bytes by interrupt on cpu 29: wq_worker_tick+0x70/0x418 sched_tick+0x248/0x3a0 update_process_times+0x200/0x260 tick_nohz_handler+0x230/0x2f8 __hrtimer_run_queues+0x1ec/0x6c8 hrtimer_interrupt+0x174/0x4b8 ... read-write to 0xffff0004d6989500 of 8 bytes by interrupt on cpu 24: wq_worker_tick+0x70/0x418 sched_tick+0x248/0x3a0 ... value changed: 0x000000000010a1d0 -> 0x000000000010a9a0 The counter is purely advisory, so an occasional lost update is harmless, and every other stats[] update already runs under pool->lock.

2026-07-01workqueue: dump the last woken worker for stalled poolsBreno Leitao
To identify the task most likely responsible for a stall, add last_woken_worker (L: pool->lock) to worker_pool and record it in kick_pool() just before wake_up_process(). This captures the idle worker that was kicked to take over when the last running worker went to sleep; if the pool is now stuck with no running worker, that task is the prime suspect and its backtrace is dumped by show_pool_no_running_worker(). Using struct worker * rather than struct task_struct * avoids any lifetime concern: workers are only destroyed via set_worker_dying() which requires pool->lock, and set_worker_dying() clears last_woken_worker when the dying worker matches. show_cpu_pool_busy_workers() holds pool->lock while calling sched_show_task(), so last_woken_worker is either NULL or points to a live worker with a valid task. More precisely, set_worker_dying() clears last_woken_worker before setting WORKER_DIE, so a non-NULL last_woken_worker means the kthread has not yet exited and worker->task is still alive.

2026-06-30workqueue: trigger a single-CPU backtrace for stalled poolsBreno Leitao
When a CPU pool is stalled with no running worker, the task occupying the CPU may not be a workqueue worker at all. Trigger a single-CPU backtrace for the stalled CPU to capture what it is currently executing. The CPU is snapshotted under pool->lock and the backtrace is triggered after releasing the lock to avoid any potential issues with NMI delivery. Skip the backtrace when the CPU is offline. A pool disassociated by CPU hotplug keeps its pool->cpu, and an NMI to an offline CPU is never acked, so nmi_trigger_cpumask_backtrace() would busy-wait for its full timeout in the watchdog's timer context.

2026-06-30workqueue: only show running workers in stall diagnosticsBreno Leitao
show_cpu_pool_busy_workers() dumps every in-flight worker in the pool's busy_hash, including workers that are not currently running on the CPU. Restore the task_is_running() filter so only running workers are dumped. When no running worker is found the pool may be stuck, unable to wake an idle worker to process pending work, and the watchdog would otherwise give no feedback. Add show_pool_no_running_worker() to report the pool id, CPU, idle state, and worker counts in that case. The pool info message is printed inside pool->lock using printk_deferred_enter/exit, the same pattern used by the existing busy-worker loop, to avoid deadlocks with console drivers that queue work while holding locks also taken in their write paths. This has been running on the Meta fleet for a while and caught some real issues, for instance EFI stalls stalling the workqueue [1].

Use kick_pool_pick() to select and claim the worker under pool->lock and issue the wakeup with wake_up_process() after the lock is dropped.

2026-06-29workqueue: defer the worker wakeup outside pool->lock in __queue_work()Breno Leitao
__queue_work() is the enqueue hot path: it inserts the work item and calls kick_pool() while holding pool->lock. kick_pool() ends in a wakeup, which takes the target task's rq->lock, so rq->lock nests under pool->lock on every enqueue that wakes a worker on a contended unbound pool. Use kick_pool_pick() to select and claim the worker under pool->lock and issue the wakeup with wake_up_process() right after dropping the lock.

2026-06-29workqueue: split kick_pool() into kick_pool_pick()Breno Leitao
Factor the worker selection out of kick_pool() into kick_pool_pick(), which picks and claims the worker under pool->lock but, instead of waking it, returns the worker's task via an out-param so the caller can issue the wakeup after dropping pool->lock. BH kicks and wake_cpu setup still happen under the lock. kick_pool() becomes a thin wrapper that wakes the returned task, so all existing callers keep waking under pool->lock.

2026-06-22time: Fix off-by-one in compat settimeofday() usec validationWang Yan
The compat version of settimeofday() uses '>' instead of '>=' when validating tv_usec against USEC_PER_SEC, allowing the value 1000000 to pass the check. After the subsequent conversion to nanoseconds (tv_nsec *= NSEC_PER_USEC), this results in tv_nsec == NSEC_PER_SEC, which violates the timespec invariant that tv_nsec must be strictly less than NSEC_PER_SEC. The native settimeofday() was already fixed in commit ce4abda5e126 ("time: Fix off-by-one in settimeofday() usec validation"), but the compat counterpart was missed. Fix it by using '>=' to reject tv_usec values outside the valid range [0, USEC_PER_SEC - 1].

2026-06-21locking/rt: Fix the incorrect RCU protection in rt_spin_unlock()Thomas Gleixner
rt_spin_unlock() releases the RCU protection before unlocking the lock. That opens the door for the following UAF scenario: T1 T2 spin_lock(&p->lock); rcu_read_lock(); invalidate(p); p = rcu_dereference(ptr); rcu_assign_pointer(ptr, NULL); if (!p) return; spin_unlock(&p->lock); spin_lock(&p->lock) lock(&lock->lock); rcu_read_lock(); kfree_rcu(p); rcu_read_unlock(); .... spin_unlock(&p->lock) rcu_read_unlock(); // Ends grace period rcu_do_batch() kfree(p); UAF -> rt_mutex_cmpxchg_release(&lock->lock...) Regular spinlocks keep preemption disabled accross the unlock operation, which provides full RCU protection, but the RT substitution fails to resemble that. Same applies for the rwlock substitution. Move the rcu_read_unlock() invocation past the unlock operations to match the non-RT semantics. This makes it asymmetric vs. rt_xxx_lock(), but that's harmless as the caller needs to hold RCU read lock across the lock operation. The migrate_enable() call stays before the unlock operation because there is no per CPU operation in the unlock path which would require migration to be kept disabled.

2026-06-19sched/mmcid: Fix OOB clear_bit when CID is MM_CID_UNSET in fixup pathRik van Riel
In mm_cid_fixup_cpus_to_tasks(), when rq->curr has the target mm and mm_cid.active is set, the CID is checked with cid_in_transit() before setting the transition bit. In per-CPU mode a newly forked or exec'd task can be running with mm_cid.cid == MM_CID_UNSET because CIDs are assigned lazily on schedule-in. With cid_in_transit() the guard passes for MM_CID_UNSET (no transit bit), converts it to MM_CID_UNSET | MM_CID_TRANSIT and stores it back; later mm_cid_schedout() feeds this to clear_bit() with MM_CID_UNSET as the bit number, triggering an out-of-bounds write. Symptoms: this is genuine memory corruption, but a bounded out-of-bounds write, not an arbitrary one. MM_CID_UNSET is the fixed sentinel BIT(31), so once the bad value reaches mm_cid_schedout() the cid_from_transit_cid() strip leaves MM_CID_UNSET, which fails the "cid < max_cids" convergence test and falls into mm_drop_cid() -> clear_bit(MM_CID_UNSET, mm_cidmask(mm)). The cid bitmap is embedded in the mm_struct slab object (after cpu_bitmap and mm_cpus_allowed) and is only num_possible_cpus() bits wide, so clearing bit 31 is a deterministic OOB bit-clear at a fixed offset of 2^31 / 8 == 256 MiB past the bitmap base. The address is not attacker-influenced (fixed sentinel -> fixed offset) and the op only clears a single bit; what sits 256 MiB further along the direct map is whatever kernel object happens to live there, so this corrupts one bit of unpredictable kernel memory -- it is not an arbitrary-address or arbitrary-value write. It triggers only in per-CPU CID mode, when a CPU is running an active task of the target mm whose cid is still MM_CID_UNSET -- the fork()/execve() window before that task's next schedule-in assigns it a real CID -- and a per-CPU -> per-task fixup walks over it (the mode fallback driven by a thread exit, sched_mm_cid_exit(), or by the deferred max_cids recompute in mm_cid_work_fn()). In practice syzkaller surfaced it as a KASAN use-after-free reported in __schedule -> mm_cid_switch_to, where the offending clear_bit() is inlined via mm_cid_schedout() -> mm_drop_cid(). Guard the transition-bit assignment against MM_CID_UNSET, in addition to the existing cid_in_transit() check, so the bit is only set on a genuine task-owned CID. A CPU-owned (MM_CID_ONCPU) CID of a running active task is handled by the cid_on_cpu(pcp->cid) branch above and never reaches this path, so excluding MM_CID_UNSET (and the already-transitioning case) is sufficient.

This can lose a lot of valuable data if there's some corruption with the writes to the buffer not syncing properly on a hard crash. Instead, if a sub-buffer is found to be invalid, simply zero it out and mark it for "missed events". When the persistent ring buffer is read and a sub-buffer that was cleared due to being invalid on boot up is discovered, the output will show "[LOST EVENTS]" to let the user know that events were missing at that location. Displaying the events from valid buffers can still be useful. - Add a test to be able to test corrupted sub-buffers If a persistent ring buffer is created as "ptraingtest" and the new config that adds the test is enabled, when a panic happens, the kernel will randomly corrupt one of the per CPU ring buffers. On boot up, the sub-buffers with the corruption should be cleared and flagged. When reading this buffer, the missed events should should [LOST EVENTS]. - Add commit number in the sub-buffer meta debug info The commit is used to know the content of a meta page.

Replace them with seq_buf() logic that does all the necessary bound checking. - Add a lockdep rcu_is_watching() to trace_##event##_enabled() call The trace_##event##_enabled() is a static branch that is true if the "event" is enabled. But this can hide bugs if this logic is in a location where RCU is disabled and not "watching". It would only trigger if lockdep is enabled and the event is enabled.

2026-06-17hrtimer: Correct CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON macro name in commentEthan Nelson-Moore
A comment in kernel/time/hrtimer.c incorrectly refers to CONFIG_NOHZ_COMMON instead of CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON. Correct it. Discovered while searching for CONFIG_* symbols referenced in code but not defined in any Kconfig file.

2026-06-17posix-cpu-timers: Use u64 multiplication in update_rlimit_cpu()Zhan Xusheng
update_rlimit_cpu() converts the RLIMIT_CPU value to nanoseconds with u64 nsecs = rlim_new * NSEC_PER_SEC; On 32-bit kernels both rlim_new (unsigned long) and NSEC_PER_SEC (1000000000L) are 32-bit, so the multiplication is performed in unsigned long and truncated for rlim_new > 4 seconds before being widened to u64. The same file already casts to u64 for the matching computation in check_process_timers(): u64 softns = (u64)soft * NSEC_PER_SEC; As a result, the truncated value is installed into the CPUCLOCK_PROF expiry cache (nextevt), causing the process CPU timer to be programmed to fire prematurely for any RLIMIT_CPU soft limit >= 5 seconds. The actual SIGXCPU/SIGKILL decision in check_process_timers() already casts to u64 and is therefore correct, so limit enforcement is not broken; only the expiry-cache programming is wrong. Apply the same cast here so both paths convert rlim_cur identically. 64-bit kernels are unaffected.

2026-06-17timekeeping: Register default clocksource before taking tk_core.lockMikhail Gavrilov
Commit f24df84cbe05 ("time/jiffies: Register jiffies clocksource before usage") moved the jiffies clocksource registration into clocksource_default_clock(), so that it is registered lazily on the first call. __clocksource_register() acquires clocksource_mutex, but the first caller is timekeeping_init(), which invokes clocksource_default_clock() while holding tk_core.lock, a raw spinlock. Acquiring a sleeping mutex while holding a raw spinlock is invalid. The default clocksource only has to be registered before tk_setup_internals() consumes its mult/shift/maxadj. Neither clocksource_default_clock(), the ->enable() callback, nor the registration itself need tk_core.lock, so fetch and enable the clock before acquiring the lock. This preserves the "register before usage" ordering while keeping clocksource_mutex out of the raw spinlock section. clocksource_default_clock() has a second caller, clocksource_done_booting(), which invokes it with clocksource_mutex already held. That path avoids a recursive lock because timekeeping_init() has already run and set cs_jiffies_registered, so the registration is skipped there. This change does not alter that; it only fixes the invalid wait context in timekeeping_init().
