Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"The previous fix to trace_marker required updating trace_marker_raw as
well. The difference between trace_marker_raw from trace_marker is
that the raw version is for applications to write binary structures
directly into the ring buffer instead of writing ASCII strings. This
is for applications that will read the raw data from the ring buffer
and get the data structures directly. It's a bit quicker than using
the ASCII version.
Unfortunately, it appears that our test suite has several tests that
test writes to the trace_marker file, but lacks any tests to the
trace_marker_raw file (this needs to be remedied). Two issues came
about the update to the trace_marker_raw file that syzbot found:
- Fix tracing_mark_raw_write() to use per CPU buffer
The fix to use the per CPU buffer to copy from user space was
needed for both the trace_maker and trace_maker_raw file.
The fix for reading from user space into per CPU buffers properly
fixed the trace_marker write function, but the trace_marker_raw
file wasn't fixed properly. The user space data was correctly
written into the per CPU buffer, but the code that wrote into the
ring buffer still used the user space pointer and not the per CPU
buffer that had the user space data already written.
- Stop the fortify string warning from writing into trace_marker_raw
After converting the copy_from_user_nofault() into a memcpy(),
another issue appeared. As writes to the trace_marker_raw expects
binary data, the first entry is a 4 byte identifier. The entry
structure is defined as:
struct {
struct trace_entry ent;
int id;
char buf[];
};
The size of this structure is reserved on the ring buffer with:
size = sizeof(*entry) + cnt;
Then it is copied from the buffer into the ring buffer with:
memcpy(&entry->id, buf, cnt);
This use to be a copy_from_user_nofault(), but now converting it to
a memcpy() triggers the fortify-string code, and causes a warning.
The allocated space is actually more than what is copied, as the
cnt used also includes the entry->id portion. Allocating
sizeof(*entry) plus cnt is actually allocating 4 bytes more than
what is needed.
Change the size function to:
size = struct_size(entry, buf, cnt - sizeof(entry->id));
And update the memcpy() to unsafe_memcpy()"

The way tracing_mark_raw_write() records its data is that it has the
following structure:
struct {
struct trace_entry;
int id;
char buf[];
};
But memcpy(&entry->id, buf, size) triggers the following warning when the
size is greater than the id:

This is because fortify string sees that the size of entry->id is only 4
bytes, but it is writing more than that. But this is OK as the
dynamic_array is allocated to handle that copy.
The size allocated on the ring buffer was actually a bit too big:
size = sizeof(*entry) + cnt;
But cnt includes the 'id' and the buffer data, so adding cnt to the size
of *entry actually allocates too much on the ring buffer.
Change the allocation to:
size = struct_size(entry, buf, cnt - sizeof(entry->id));
and the memcpy() to unsafe_memcpy() with an added justification.

The fix to use a per CPU buffer to read user space tested only the writes
to trace_marker. But it appears that the selftests are missing tests to
the trace_maker_raw file. The trace_maker_raw file is used by applications
that writes data structures and not strings into the file, and the tools
read the raw ring buffer to process the structures it writes.
The fix that reads the per CPU buffers passes the new per CPU buffer to
the trace_marker file writes, but the update to the trace_marker_raw write
read the data from user space into the per CPU buffer, but then still used
then passed the user space address to the function that records the data.
Pass in the per CPU buffer and not the user space address.

When unpinning a BPF hash table (htab or htab_lru) that contains internal
structures (timer, workqueue, or task_work) in its values, a BUG warning
is triggered:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/bpf/hashtab.c:244
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 14, name: ksoftirqd/0
...
The issue arises from the interaction between BPF object unpinning and
RCU callback mechanisms:
1. BPF object unpinning uses ->free_inode() which schedules cleanup via
call_rcu(), deferring the actual freeing to an RCU callback that
executes within the RCU_SOFTIRQ context.
2. During cleanup of hash tables containing internal structures,
htab_map_free_internal_structs() is invoked, which includes
cond_resched() or cond_resched_rcu() calls to yield the CPU during
potentially long operations.
However, cond_resched() or cond_resched_rcu() cannot be safely called from
atomic RCU softirq context, leading to the BUG warning when attempting
to reschedule.
Fix this by changing from ->free_inode() to ->destroy_inode() and rename
bpf_free_inode() to bpf_destroy_inode() for BPF objects (prog, map, link).
This allows direct inode freeing without RCU callback scheduling,
avoiding the invalid context warning.

Pull tracing clean up and fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Have osnoise tracer use memdup_user_nul()
The function osnoise_cpus_write() open codes a kmalloc() and then a
copy_from_user() and then adds a nul byte at the end which is the
same as simply using memdup_user_nul().
- Fix wakeup and irq tracers when failing to acquire calltime
When the wakeup and irq tracers use the function graph tracer for
tracing function times, it saves a timestamp into the fgraph shadow
stack. It is possible that this could fail to be stored. If that
happens, it exits the routine early. These functions also disable
nesting of the operations by incremeting the data "disable" counter.
But if the calltime exits out early, it never increments the counter
back to what it needs to be.
Since there's only a couple of lines of code that does work after
acquiring the calltime, instead of exiting out early, reverse the if
statement to be true if calltime is acquired, and place the code that
is to be done within that if block. The clean up will always be done
after that.
- Fix ring_buffer_map() return value on failure of __rb_map_vma()
If __rb_map_vma() fails in ring_buffer_map(), it does not return an
error. This means the caller will be working against a bad vma
mapping. Have ring_buffer_map() return an error when __rb_map_vma()
fails.
- Fix regression of writing to the trace_marker file
A bug fix was made to change __copy_from_user_inatomic() to
copy_from_user_nofault() in the trace_marker write function. The
trace_marker file is used by applications to write into it (usually
with a file descriptor opened at the start of the program) to record
into the tracing system. It's usually used in critical sections so
the write to trace_marker is highly optimized.
The reason for copying in an atomic section is that the write
reserves space on the ring buffer and then writes directly into it.
After it writes, it commits the event. The time between reserve and
commit must have preemption disabled.
The trace marker write does not have any locking nor can it allocate
due to the nature of it being a critical path.
Unfortunately, converting __copy_from_user_inatomic() to
copy_from_user_nofault() caused a regression in Android. Now all the
writes from its applications trigger the fault that is rejected by
the _nofault() version that wasn't rejected by the _inatomic()
version. Instead of getting data, it now just gets a trace buffer
filled with:
tracing_mark_write: <faulted>
To fix this, on opening of the trace_marker file, allocate per CPU
buffers that can be used by the write call. Then when entering the
write call, do the following:
preempt_disable();
cpu = smp_processor_id();
buffer = per_cpu_ptr(cpu_buffers, cpu);
do {
cnt = nr_context_switches_cpu(cpu);
migrate_disable();
preempt_enable();
ret = copy_from_user(buffer, ptr, size);
preempt_disable();
migrate_enable();
} while (!ret && cnt != nr_context_switches_cpu(cpu));
if (!ret)
ring_buffer_write(buffer);
preempt_enable();
This works similarly to seqcount. As it must enabled preemption to do
a copy_from_user() into a per CPU buffer, if it gets preempted, the
buffer could be corrupted by another task.
To handle this, read the number of context switches of the current
CPU, disable migration, enable preemption, copy the data from user
space, then immediately disable preemption again. If the number of
context switches is the same, the buffer is still valid. Otherwise it
must be assumed that the buffer may have been corrupted and it needs
to try again.
Now the trace_marker write can get the user data even if it has to
fault it in, and still not grab any locks of its own.

It was reported that using __copy_from_user_inatomic() can actually
schedule. Which is bad when preemption is disabled. Even though there's
logic to check in_atomic() is set, but this is a nop when the kernel is
configured with PREEMPT_NONE. This is due to page faulting and the code
could schedule with preemption disabled.
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250819105152.2766363-1-luogengkun@huaweicloud.com/
The solution was to change the __copy_from_user_inatomic() to
copy_from_user_nofault(). But then it was reported that this caused a
regression in Android. There's several applications writing into
trace_marker() in Android, but now instead of showing the expected data,
it is showing:
tracing_mark_write: <faulted>
After reverting the conversion to copy_from_user_nofault(), Android was
able to get the data again.
Writes to the trace_marker is a way to efficiently and quickly enter data
into the Linux tracing buffer. It takes no locks and was designed to be as
non-intrusive as possible. This means it cannot allocate memory, and must
use pre-allocated data.
A method that is actively being worked on to have faultable system call
tracepoints read user space data is to allocate per CPU buffers, and use
them in the callback. The method uses a technique similar to seqcount.
That is something like this:
preempt_disable();
cpu = smp_processor_id();
buffer = this_cpu_ptr(&pre_allocated_cpu_buffers, cpu);
do {
cnt = nr_context_switches_cpu(cpu);
migrate_disable();
preempt_enable();
ret = copy_from_user(buffer, ptr, size);
preempt_disable();
migrate_enable();
} while (!ret && cnt != nr_context_switches_cpu(cpu));
if (!ret)
ring_buffer_write(buffer);
preempt_enable();
It's a little more involved than that, but the above is the basic logic.
The idea is to acquire the current CPU buffer, disable migration, and then
enable preemption. At this moment, it can safely use copy_from_user().
After reading the data from user space, it disables preemption again. It
then checks to see if there was any new scheduling on this CPU. If there
was, it must assume that the buffer was corrupted by another task. If
there wasn't, then the buffer is still valid as only tasks in preemptable
context can write to this buffer and only those that are running on the
CPU.
By using this method, where trace_marker open allocates the per CPU
buffers, trace_marker writes can access user space and even fault it in,
without having to allocate or take any locks of its own.

func_prolog_dec() that will test if the data->disable is already set and
if not, increment it and return. If it was set, it returns false and the
caller exits.
The caller of this function must decrement the disable counter, but misses
doing so if the calltime fails to be acquired.
Instead of exiting out when calltime is NULL, change the logic to do the
work if it is not NULL and still do the clean up at the end of the
function if it is NULL.

A vmalloc allocation is preserved using binary structure similar to global
KHO memory tracker. It's a linked list of pages where each page is an
array of physical address of pages in vmalloc area.
kho_preserve_vmalloc() hands out the physical address of the head page to
the caller. This address is used as the argument to kho_vmalloc_restore()
to restore the mapping in the vmalloc address space and populate it with
the preserved pages.

Patch series "kho: add support for preserving vmalloc allocations", v5.
Following the discussion about preservation of memfd with LUO [1] these
patches add support for preserving vmalloc allocations.
Any KHO uses case presumes that there's a data structure that lists
physical addresses of preserved folios (and potentially some additional
metadata). Allowing vmalloc preservations with KHO allows scalable
preservation of such data structures.
For instance, instead of allocating array describing preserved folios in
the fdt, memfd preservation can use vmalloc:
preserved_folios = vmalloc_array(nr_folios, sizeof(*preserved_folios));
memfd_luo_preserve_folios(preserved_folios, folios, nr_folios);
kho_preserve_vmalloc(preserved_folios, &folios_info);
This patch (of 4):
Instead of checking if kho is finalized in each caller of
__kho_preserve_order(), do it in the core function itself.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() instead of RCU for syscall
tracepoints
Individual system call trace events are pseudo events attached to the
raw_syscall trace events that just trace the entry and exit of all
system calls. When any of these individual system call trace events
get enabled, an element in an array indexed by the system call number
is assigned to the trace file that defines how to trace it. When the
trace event triggers, it reads this array and if the array has an
element, it uses that trace file to know what to write it (the trace
file defines the output format of the corresponding system call).
The issue is that it uses rcu_dereference_ptr() and marks the
elements of the array as using RCU. This is incorrect. There is no
RCU synchronization here. The event file that is pointed to has a
completely different way to make sure its freed properly. The reading
of the array during the system call trace event is only to know if
there is a value or not. If not, it does nothing (it means this
system call isn't being traced). If it does, it uses the information
to store the system call data.
The RCU usage here can simply be replaced by READ_ONCE() and
WRITE_ONCE() macros.
- Have the system call trace events use "0x" for hex values
Some system call trace events display hex values but do not have "0x"
in front of it. Seeing "count: 44" can be assumed that it is 44
decimal when in actuality it is 44 hex (68 decimal). Display "0x44"
instead.
- Use vmalloc_array() in tracing_map_sort_entries()
The function tracing_map_sort_entries() used array_size() and
vmalloc() when it could have simply used vmalloc_array().
- Use for_each_online_cpu() in trace_osnoise.c()
Instead of open coding for_each_cpu(cpu, cpu_online_mask), use
for_each_online_cpu().
- Move the buffer field in struct trace_seq to the end
The buffer field in struct trace_seq is architecture dependent in
size, and caused padding for the fields after it. By moving the
buffer to the end of the structure, it compacts the trace_seq
structure better.
- Remove redundant zeroing of cmdline_idx field in
saved_cmdlines_buffer()
The structure that contains cmdline_idx is zeroed by memset(), no
need to explicitly zero any of its fields after that.
- Use system_percpu_wq instead of system_wq in user_event_mm_remove()
As system_wq is being deprecated, use the new wq.
- Add cond_resched() is ftrace_module_enable()
Some modules have a lot of functions (thousands of them), and the
enabling of those functions can take some time. On non preemtable
kernels, it was triggering a watchdog timeout. Add a cond_resched()
to prevent that.
- Add a BUILD_BUG_ON() to make sure PID_MAX_DEFAULT is always a power
of 2
There's code that depends on PID_MAX_DEFAULT being a power of 2 or it
will break. If in the future that changes, make sure the build fails
to ensure that the code is fixed that depends on this.
- Grab mutex_lock() before ever exiting s_start()
The s_start() function is a seq_file start routine. As s_stop() is
always called even if s_start() fails, and s_stop() expects the
event_mutex to be held as it will always release it. That mutex must
always be taken in s_start() even if that function fails.

An advantage of this approach is the possibility of introducing
DMA_ATTR_MMIO, which covers existing 'dma_map_resource' flow in the
common paths, what in turn lets to use recently introduced
dma_iova_link() API to map PCI P2P MMIO without creating struct page

When s_start() fails to allocate memory for set_event_iter, it returns NULL
before acquiring event_mutex. However, the corresponding s_stop() function
always tries to unlock the mutex, causing a lock imbalance warning:
WARNING: bad unlock balance detected!
6.17.0-rc7-00175-g2b2e0c04f78c #7 Not tainted
-------------------------------------
syz.0.85611/376514 is trying to release lock (event_mutex) at:
[<ffffffff8dafc7a4>] traverse.part.0.constprop.0+0x2c4/0x650 fs/seq_file.c:131
but there are no more locks to release!
The issue was introduced by commit b355247df104 ("tracing: Cache ':mod:'
events for modules not loaded yet") which added the kzalloc() allocation before
the mutex lock, creating a path where s_start() could return without locking
the mutex while s_stop() would still try to unlock it.
Fix this by unconditionally acquiring the mutex immediately after allocation,
regardless of whether the allocation succeeded.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab
Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
- A new layer for caching objects for allocation and free via percpu
arrays called sheaves.
The aim is to combine the good parts of SLAB (lower-overhead and
simpler percpu caching, compared to SLUB) without the past issues
with arrays for freeing remote NUMA node objects and their flushing.
It also allows more efficient kfree_rcu(), and cheaper object
preallocations for cases where the exact number of objects is
unknown, but an upper bound is.
Currently VMAs and maple nodes are using this new caching, with a
plan to enable it for all caches and remove the complex SLUB fastpath
based on cpu (partial) slabs and this_cpu_cmpxchg_double().
(Vlastimil Babka, with Liam Howlett and Pedro Falcato for the maple
tree changes)
- Re-entrant kmalloc_nolock(), which allows opportunistic allocations
from NMI and tracing/kprobe contexts.
Building on prior page allocator and memcg changes, it will result in
removing BPF-specific caches on top of slab (Alexei Starovoitov)
- Various fixes and cleanups. (Kuan-Wei Chiu, Matthew Wilcox, Suren
Baghdasaryan, Ye Liu)

Pull kunit updates from Shuah Khan:
- New parameterized test features
KUnit parameterized tests supported two primary methods for getting
parameters:
- Defining custom logic within a generate_params() function.
- Using the KUNIT_ARRAY_PARAM() and KUNIT_ARRAY_PARAM_DESC() macros
with a pre-defined static array and passing the created
*_gen_params() to KUNIT_CASE_PARAM().
These methods present limitations when dealing with dynamically
generated parameter arrays, or in scenarios where populating
parameters sequentially via generate_params() is inefficient or
overly complex.
These limitations are fixed with a parameterized test method

There is a critical race condition in kprobe initialization that can lead to
NULL pointer dereference and kernel crash.

Race Condition Analysis:
The race occurs between kprobe activation and perf_events initialization:
CPU0 CPU1
==== ====
perf_kprobe_init
perf_trace_event_init
tp_event->perf_events = list;(1)
tp_event->class->reg (2)← KPROBE ACTIVE
Debug exception triggers
...
kprobe_dispatcher
kprobe_perf_func (tk->tp.flags & TP_FLAG_PROFILE)
head = this_cpu_ptr(call->perf_events)(3)
(perf_events is still NULL)
Problem:
1. CPU0 executes (1) assigning tp_event->perf_events = list
2. CPU0 executes (2) enabling kprobe functionality via class->reg()
3. CPU1 triggers and reaches kprobe_dispatcher
4. CPU1 checks TP_FLAG_PROFILE - condition passes (step 2 completed)
5. CPU1 calls kprobe_perf_func() and crashes at (3) because
call->perf_events is still NULL
CPU1 sees that kprobe functionality is enabled but does not see that
perf_events has been assigned.
Add pairing read and write memory barriers to guarantee that if CPU1
sees that kprobe functionality is enabled, it must also see that
perf_events has been assigned.

When verifying BPF programs, the check_alu_op() function validates
instructions with ALU operations. The 'offset' field in these
instructions is a signed 16-bit integer.
The existing check 'insn->off > 1' was intended to ensure the offset is
either 0, or 1 for BPF_MOD/BPF_DIV. However, because 'insn->off' is
signed, this check incorrectly accepts all negative values (e.g., -1).
This commit tightens the validation by changing the condition to
'(insn->off != 0 && insn->off != 1)'. This ensures that any value
other than the explicitly permitted 0 and 1 is rejected, hardening the
verifier against malformed BPF programs.

In check_alu_op(), the verifier currently calls check_reg_arg() and
adjust_scalar_min_max_vals() unconditionally for BPF_NEG operations.
However, if the destination register holds a pointer, these scalar
adjustments are unnecessary and potentially incorrect.
This patch adds a check to skip the adjustment logic when the destination
register contains a pointer.

Pull irq core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of updates for the interrupt core subsystem:
- Introduce irq_chip_[startup|shutdown]_parent() to prepare for
addressing a few short comings in the PCI/MSI interrupt subsystem.
It allows to utilize the interrupt chip startup/shutdown callbacks
for initializing the interrupt chip hierarchy properly on certain
RISCV implementations and provides a mechanism to reduce the
overhead of masking and unmasking PCI/MSI interrupts during
operation when the underlying MSI provider can mask the interrupt.
The actual usage comes with the interrupt driver pull request.
- Add generic error handling for devm_request_*_irq()
This allows to remove the zoo of random error printk's all over the
usage sites.
- Add a mechanism to warn about long-running interrupt handlers
Long running interrupt handlers can introduce latencies and
tracking them down is a tedious task. The tracking has to be
enabled with a threshold on the kernel command line and utilizes a
static branch to remove the overhead when disabled.
- Update and extend the selftests which validate the CPU hotplug
interrupt migration logic
- Allow dropping the per CPU softirq lock on PREEMPT_RT kernels,
which causes contention and latencies all over the place.

Rename the "kvm" entry code files and Kconfigs to use generic "virt"
nomenclature so that the code can be reused by other hypervisors (or
rather, their root/dom0 partition drivers), without incorrectly suggesting
the code somehow relies on and/or involves KVM.
No functional change intended.

Move KVM's morphing of pending signals into userspace exits into KVM
proper, and drop the @vcpu param from xfer_to_guest_mode_handle_work().
How KVM responds to -EINTR is a detail that really belongs in KVM itself,
and invoking kvm_handle_signal_exit() from kernel code creates an inverted
module dependency. E.g. attempting to move kvm_handle_signal_exit() into
kvm_main.c would generate an linker error when building kvm.ko as a module.
Dropping KVM details will also converting the KVM "entry" code into a more
generic virtualization framework so that it can be used when running as a
Hyper-V root partition.
Lastly, eliminating usage of "struct kvm_vcpu" outside of KVM is also nice
to have for KVM x86 developers, as keeping the details of kvm_vcpu purely
within KVM allows changing the layout of the structure without having to
boot into a new kernel, e.g. allows rebuilding and reloading kvm.ko with a
modified kvm_vcpu structure as part of debug/development.

Pull rseq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Two fixes for RSEQ:
- Protect the event mask modification against the membarrier() IPI as
otherwise the RmW operation is unprotected and events might be lost
- Fix the weak symbol reference in rseq selftests
The current weak RSEQ symbols definitions which were added to allow
static linkage are not working correctly as they effectively
re-define the glibc symbols leading to multiple versions of the
symbols when compiled with -fno-common.
Mark them as 'extern' to convert them from weak symbol definitions
to weak symbol references. That works with static and dynamic
linkage independent of -fcommon and -fno-common"
