077ba03600 watchdog/hardlockup: improve buddy system detection timeliness
Currently, the buddy system only performs checks every 3rd sample.  With a
4-second interval.  If a check window is missed, the next check occurs 12
seconds later, potentially delaying hard lockup detection for up to 24
seconds.

Modify the buddy system to perform checks at every interval (4s). 
Introduce a missed-interrupt threshold to maintain the existing grace
period while reducing the detection window to 8-12 seconds.

Best and worst case detection scenarios:

Before (12s check window):
- Best case: Lockup occurs after first check but just before heartbeat
  interval. Detected in ~8s (8s till next check).
- Worst case: Lockup occurs just after a check.
  Detected in ~24s (missed check + 12s till next check + 12s logic).

After (4s check window with threshold of 3):
- Best case: Lockup occurs just before a check.
  Detected in ~8s (0s till 1st check + 4s till 2nd + 4s till 3rd).
- Worst case: Lockup occurs just after a check.
  Detected in ~12s (4s till 1st check + 4s till 2nd + 4s till 3rd).

746bb7fa91 watchdog: update saved interrupts during check
Currently, arch_touch_nmi_watchdog() causes an early return that skips
updating hrtimer_interrupts_saved.  This leads to stale comparisons and
delayed lockup detection.

I found this issue because in our system the serial console is fairly
chatty.  For example, the 8250 console driver frequently calls
touch_nmi_watchdog() via console_write().  If a CPU locks up after a timer
interrupt but before next watchdog check, we see the following sequence:

  * watchdog_hardlockup_check() saves counter (e.g., 1000)
  * Timer runs and updates the counter (1001)
  * touch_nmi_watchdog() is called
  * CPU locks up
  * 10s pass: check() notices touch, returns early, skips update
  * 10s pass: check() saves counter (1001)
  * 10s pass: check() finally detects lockup

This delays detection to 30 seconds.  With this fix, we detect the lockup
in 20 seconds.

3e811cae32 watchdog: return early in watchdog_hardlockup_check()
Patch series "watchdog/hardlockup: Improvements to hardlockup", v2.

This series addresses limitations in the hardlockup detector
implementations and updates the documentation to reflect actual behavior
and recent changes.

The changes are structured as follows:

Refactoring (Patch 1)
=====================
Patch 1 refactors watchdog_hardlockup_check() to return early if no
lockup is detected. This reduces the indentation level of the main
logic block, serving as a clean base for the subsequent changes.

Hardlockup Detection Improvements (Patches 2 & 4)
=================================================
The hardlockup detector logic relies on updating saved interrupt counts to
determine if the CPU is making progress.

Patch 1 ensures that the saved interrupt count is updated unconditionally
before checking the "touched" flag.  This prevents stale comparisons which
can delay detection.  This is a logic fix that ensures the detector
remains accurate even when the watchdog is frequently touched.

Patch 3 improves the Buddy detector's timeliness.  The current checking
interval (every 3rd sample) causes high variability in detection time (up
to 24s).  This patch changes the Buddy detector to check at every hrtimer
interval (4s) with a missed-interrupt threshold of 3, narrowing the
detection window to a consistent 8-12 second range.

Documentation Updates (Patches 3 & 5)
=====================================
The current documentation does not fully capture the variable nature of
detection latency or the details of the Buddy system.

Patch 3 removes the strict "10 seconds" definition of a hardlockup, which
was misleading given the periodic nature of the detector.  It adds a
"Detection Overhead" section to the admin guide, using "Best Case" and
"Worst Case" scenarios to illustrate that detection time can vary
significantly (e.g., ~6s to ~20s).

Patch 5 adds a dedicated section for the Buddy detector, which was
previously undocumented.  It details the mechanism, the new timing logic,
and known limitations.


This patch (of 5):

Invert the `is_hardlockup(cpu)` check in `watchdog_hardlockup_check()` to
return early when a hardlockup is not detected.  This flattens the main
logic block, reducing the indentation level and making the code easier to
read and maintain.

This refactoring serves as a preparation patch for future hardlockup
changes.

73d40c42f6 hung_task: explicitly report I/O wait state in log output
Currently, the hung task reporting mechanism indiscriminately labels all
TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE (D) tasks as "blocked", irrespective of whether they
are awaiting I/O completion or kernel locking primitives.  This ambiguity
compels system administrators to manually inspect stack traces to discern
whether the delay stems from an I/O wait (typically indicative of hardware
or filesystem anomalies) or software contention.  Such detailed analysis
is not always immediately accessible to system administrators or support
engineers.

To address this, this patch utilises the existing in_iowait field within
struct task_struct to augment the failure report.  If the task is blocked
due to I/O (e.g., via io_schedule_prepare()), the log message is updated
to explicitly state "blocked in I/O wait".

Examples:
        - Standard Block: "INFO: task bash:123 blocked for more than 120
          seconds".

        - I/O Block: "INFO: task dd:456 blocked in I/O wait for more than
          120 seconds".

Theoretically, concurrent executions of io_schedule_finish() could result
in a race condition where the read flag does not precisely correlate with
the subsequently printed backtrace.  However, this limitation is deemed
acceptable in practice.  The entire reporting mechanism is inherently racy
by design; nevertheless, it remains highly reliable in the vast majority
of cases, particularly because it primarily captures protracted stalls. 
Consequently, introducing additional synchronisation to mitigate this
minor inaccuracy would be entirely disproportionate to the situation.

5eaef7f8ee hung_task: increment the global counter immediately
A recent change allowed to reset the global counter of hung tasks using
the sysctl interface.  A potential race with the regular check has been
solved by updating the global counter only once at the end of the check.

However, the hung task check can take a significant amount of time,
particularly when task information is being dumped to slow serial
consoles.  Some users monitor this global counter to trigger immediate
migration of critical containers.  Delaying the increment until the full
check completes postpones these high-priority rescue operations.

Update the global counter as soon as a hung task is detected.  Since the
value is read asynchronously, a relaxed atomic operation is sufficient.

49085e1b70 hung_task: enable runtime reset of hung_task_detect_count
Currently, the hung_task_detect_count sysctl provides a cumulative count
of hung tasks since boot.  In long-running, high-availability
environments, this counter may lose its utility if it cannot be reset once
an incident has been resolved.  Furthermore, the previous implementation
relied upon implicit ordering, which could not strictly guarantee that
diagnostic metadata published by one CPU was visible to the panic logic on
another.

This patch introduces the capability to reset the detection count by
writing "0" to the hung_task_detect_count sysctl.  The proc_handler logic
has been updated to validate this input and atomically reset the counter.

The synchronisation of sysctl_hung_task_detect_count relies upon a
transactional model to ensure the integrity of the detection counter
against concurrent resets from userspace.  The application of
atomic_long_read_acquire() and atomic_long_cmpxchg_release() is correct
and provides the following guarantees:

    1. Prevention of Load-Store Reordering via Acquire Semantics By
       utilising atomic_long_read_acquire() to snapshot the counter
       before initiating the task traversal, we establish a strict
       memory barrier. This prevents the compiler or hardware from
       reordering the initial load to a point later in the scan. Without
       this "acquire" barrier, a delayed load could potentially read a
       "0" value resulting from a userspace reset that occurred
       mid-scan. This would lead to the subsequent cmpxchg succeeding
       erroneously, thereby overwriting the user's reset with stale
       increment data.

    2. Atomicity of the "Commit" Phase via Release Semantics The
       atomic_long_cmpxchg_release() serves as the transaction's commit
       point. The "release" barrier ensures that all diagnostic
       recordings and task-state observations made during the scan are
       globally visible before the counter is incremented.

    3. Race Condition Resolution This pairing effectively detects any
       "out-of-band" reset of the counter. If
       sysctl_hung_task_detect_count is modified via the procfs
       interface during the scan, the final cmpxchg will detect the
       discrepancy between the current value and the "acquire" snapshot.
       Consequently, the update will fail, ensuring that a reset command
       from the administrator is prioritised over a scan that may have
       been invalidated by that very reset.

00b5cdeb9f hung_task: refactor detection logic and atomicise detection count
Patch series "hung_task: Provide runtime reset interface for hung task
detector", v9.

This series introduces the ability to reset
/proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_detect_count.

Writing a "0" value to this file atomically resets the counter of detected
hung tasks.  This functionality provides system administrators with the
means to clear the cumulative diagnostic history following incident
resolution, thereby simplifying subsequent monitoring without
necessitating a system restart.


This patch (of 3):

The check_hung_task() function currently conflates two distinct
responsibilities: validating whether a task is hung and handling the
subsequent reporting (printing warnings, triggering panics, or
tracepoints).

This patch refactors the logic by introducing hung_task_info(), a function
dedicated solely to reporting.  The actual detection check,
task_is_hung(), is hoisted into the primary loop within
check_hung_uninterruptible_tasks().  This separation clearly decouples the
mechanism of detection from the policy of reporting.

Furthermore, to facilitate future support for concurrent hung task
detection, the global sysctl_hung_task_detect_count variable is converted
from unsigned long to atomic_long_t.  Consequently, the counting logic is
updated to accumulate the number of hung tasks locally (this_round_count)
during the iteration.  The global counter is then updated atomically via
atomic_long_cmpxchg_relaxed() once the loop concludes, rather than
incrementally during the scan.

These changes are strictly preparatory and introduce no functional change
to the system's runtime behaviour.

040261b118 pid: make sub-init creation retryable
Patch series "pid: make sub-init creation retryable".


This patch (of 2):

Currently we allow only one attempt to create init in a new namespace.  If
the first fork() fails after alloc_pid() succeeds, free_pid() clears
PIDNS_ADDING and thus disables further PID allocations.

Nowadays this looks like an unnecessary limitation.  The original reason
to handle "case PIDNS_ADDING" in free_pid() is gone, most probably after
commit 69879c01a0 ("proc: Remove the now unnecessary internal mount of
proc").

Change free_pid() to keep ns->pid_allocated == PIDNS_ADDING, and change
alloc_pid() to reset the cursor early, right after taking pidmap_lock.

Test-case:

	#define _GNU_SOURCE
	#include <linux/sched.h>
	#include <sys/syscall.h>
	#include <sys/wait.h>
	#include <assert.h>
	#include <sched.h>
	#include <errno.h>

	int main(void)
	{
		struct clone_args args = {
			.exit_signal = SIGCHLD,
			.flags	= CLONE_PIDFD,
			.pidfd	= 0,
		};
		unsigned long pidfd;
		int pid;

		assert(unshare(CLONE_NEWPID) == 0);

		pid = syscall(__NR_clone3, &args, sizeof(args));
		assert(pid == -1 && errno == EFAULT);

		args.pidfd = (unsigned long)&pidfd;
		pid = syscall(__NR_clone3, &args, sizeof(args));
		if (pid)
			assert(pid > 0 && wait(NULL) == pid);
		else
			assert(getpid() == 1);

		return 0;
	}

380369ea2e fork: replace simple_strtoul with kstrtoul in coredump_filter_setup
Replace simple_strtoul() with the recommended kstrtoul() for parsing the
'coredump_filter=' boot parameter.

Check the return value of kstrtoul() and reject invalid values.  This adds
error handling while preserving behavior for existing values, and removes
use of the deprecated simple_strtoul() helper.  The current code silently
sets 'default_dump_filter = 0' if parsing fails, instead of leaving the
default value (MMF_DUMP_FILTER_DEFAULT) unchanged.

Rename the static variable 'default_dump_filter' to 'coredump_filter'
since it does not necessarily contain the default value and the current
name can be misleading.

162e4fd97d complete_signal: kill always-true "core_state || !SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT" check
The "(signal->core_state || !(signal->flags & SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT))" check
in complete_signal() is not obvious at all, and in fact it only adds
unnecessary confusion: this condition is always true.

prepare_signal() does:

	if (signal->flags & SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT) {
		if (signal->core_state)
			return sig == SIGKILL;
		/*
		 * The process is in the middle of dying, drop the signal.
		 */
		return false;
	}

This means that "!signal->core_state && (signal->flags &

617ab884b8 exit: kill unnecessary thread_group_leader() checks in exit_notify() and do_notify_parent()
thread_group_empty(tsk) is only possible if tsk is a group leader, and
thread_group_empty() already does the thread_group_leader() check.

So it makes no sense to check "thread_group_leader() &&
thread_group_empty()"; thread_group_empty() alone is enough.

48d76a8282 kernel/panic: mark init_taint_buf as __initdata and panic instead of warning in alloc_taint_buf()
However there's a convention of assuming that __init-time allocations
cannot fail.  Because if a kmalloc() were to fail at this time, the kernel
is hopelessly messed up anyway.  So simply panic() if that kmalloc failed,
then make that 350-byte buffer __initdata.

a9dff0d0d1 kernel/panic: allocate taint string buffer dynamically
The buffer used to hold the taint string is statically allocated, which
requires updating whenever a new taint flag is added.

Instead, allocate the exact required length at boot once the allocator is
available in an init function.  The allocation sums the string lengths in
taint_flags[], along with space for separators and formatting. 
print_tainted() is switched to use this dynamically allocated buffer.

If allocation fails, print_tainted() warns about the failure and continues
to use the original static buffer as a fallback.

8e81ecbf1c printk_ringbuffer: Fix get_data() size sanity check
Commit cc3bad11de ("printk_ringbuffer: Fix check of valid data
size when blk_lpos overflows") added sanity checking to get_data()
to avoid returning data of illegal sizes (too large or too small).
It uses the helper function data_check_size() for the check.
However, data_check_size() expects the size of the data, not the
size of the data block. get_data() is providing the size of the
data block.  This means that if the data size (text_buf_size) is
at or near the maximum legal size:

sizeof(prb_data_block) + text_buf_size == DATA_SIZE(data_ring) / 2

data_check_size() will report failure because it adds
sizeof(prb_data_block) to the provided size. The sanity check in
get_data() is counting the data block header twice. The result is
that the reader fails to read the legal record.

Since get_data() subtracts the data block header size before returning,
move the sanity check to after the subtraction.

Luckily printk() is not vulnerable to this problem because
truncate_msg() limits printk-messages to 1/4 of the ringbuffer.
Indeed, by adjusting the printk_ringbuffer KUnit test, which does not
use printk() and its truncate_msg() check, it is easy to see that the
reader fails and the WARN_ON is triggered.

46df585fcf bpf: classify block device hooks appropriately
A bunch of new hooks for managing block devices were added a while ago
but they weren't actually appropriately classified.

* bpf_lsm_bdev_alloc() is called when the inode for the block
  device is allocated. This happens from a sleepable context so mark the
  function as sleepable. When this function is called the memory for the
  block device storage embedded into the inode is zeroed. That block
  device cannot be meaningfully reference or interacted with at this
  point. So mark it as untrusted for now.

* bpf_lsm_bdev_free() is called when the inode for the block
  device is freed. A bunch of memory associated with the block device
  has already been freed and there's dangling pointers in there. So mark
  it as untrusted. It cannot be meaningfully referenced or interacted
  with anymore. It is also called from sb->s_op->free_inode:: which
  means it runs in rcu context (most of the times). So leave it as
  non-sleepable.

* bpf_lsm_bdev_setintegrity() is called when a dm-verity device
  is instantiated (glossing over details for simplicity of the commit
  message). The block device is very much alive so it remains a trusted
  hook. It's also called with device mapper's suspend lock held and so
  the hook is able to sleep so mark it sleepable.

9036bd0efc PCI: Align head space better
When a bridge window contains big and small resource(s), the small
resource(s) may not amount to the half of the size of the big resource
which would allow calculate_head_align() to shrink the head alignment.
This results in always placing the small resource(s) after the big
resource.

In general, it would be good to be able to place the small resource(s)
before the big resource to achieve better utilization of the address space.
In the cases where the large resource can only fit at the end of the
window, it is even required.

However, carrying the information over from pbus_size_mem() and
calculate_head_align() to __pci_assign_resource() and
pcibios_align_resource() is not easy with the current data structures.

A somewhat hacky way to move the non-aligning tail part to the head is
possible within pcibios_align_resource(). The free space between the start
of the free space span and the aligned start address can be compared with
the non-aligning remainder of the size. If the free space is larger than
the remainder, placing the remainder before the start address is possible.
This relocation should generally work, because PCI resources consist only
power-of-2 atoms.

Various arch requirements may still need to override the relocation, so the
relocation is only applied selectively in such cases.

7eb28030f6 smp: Use system_percpu_wq instead of system_wq
When a caller enqueues a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the used
wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() uses
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when no target CPU is specified). The same applies
to schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), which again
makes use of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.

This lack of consistency cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.

Continue the effort to refactor workqueue APIs, which began with the
introduction of new workqueues and a new alloc_workqueue() flag in:

  commit 128ea9f6cc ("workqueue: Add system_percpu_wq and system_dfl_wq")
  commit 930c2ea566 ("workqueue: Add new WQ_PERCPU flag")

and switch smp_call_on_cpu() to use system_percpu_wq because system_wq is
going away once the ongoing workqueue restructuring is done.

19f94b3905 futex: Require sys_futex_requeue() to have identical flags
Nicholas reported that his LLM found it was possible to create a UaF
when sys_futex_requeue() is used with different flags. The initial
motivation for allowing different flags was the variable sized futex,
but since that hasn't been merged (yet), simply mandate the flags are
identical, as is the case for the old style sys_futex() requeue
operations.

1b6c89285d timens: Remove dependency on the vDSO
Previously, missing time namespace support in the vDSO meant that time
namespaces needed to be disabled globally. This was expressed in a hard
dependency on the generic vDSO library. This also meant that architectures
without any vDSO or only a stub vDSO could not enable time namespaces.
Now that all architectures using a real vDSO are using the generic library,
that dependency is not necessary anymore.

Remove the dependency and let all architectures enable time namespaces.

5dc9cf835a vdso/timens: Move functions to new file
As a preparation of the untangling of time namespaces and the vDSO, move
the glue functions between those subsystems into a new file.

While at it, switch the mutex lock and mmap_read_lock() in the vDSO

bade44fe54 tracing: Move snapshot code out of trace.c and into trace_snapshot.c
The trace.c file was a dumping ground for most tracing code. Start
organizing it better by moving various functions out into their own files.
Move all the snapshot code, including the max trace code into its own
trace_snapshot.c file.

935a04923a nsproxy: Add FOR_EACH_NS_TYPE() X-macro and CLONE_NS_ALL
Introduce the FOR_EACH_NS_TYPE(X) macro as the single source of truth
for the set of (struct type, CLONE_NEW* flag) pairs that define Linux
namespace types.

Currently, the list of CLONE_NEW* flags is duplicated inline in
multiple call sites and would need another copy in each new consumer.
This makes it easy to miss one when a new namespace type is added.

Derive two things from the X-macro:

- CLONE_NS_ALL: Bitmask of all known CLONE_NEW* flags, usable as a
  validity mask or iteration bound.

- ns_common_type(): Rewritten to use the X-macro via a leading-comma
  _Generic pattern, so the struct-to-flag mapping stays in sync with the
  flag set automatically.

Replace the inline flag enumerations in copy_namespaces(),
unshare_nsproxy_namespaces(), check_setns_flags(), and
ksys_unshare() with CLONE_NS_ALL.

When a new namespace type is added, only FOR_EACH_NS_TYPE needs to
be updated; CLONE_NS_ALL, ns_common_type(), and all the call sites
pick up the change automatically.

Replace trace_foo() with the new trace_call__foo() at sites already
guarded by trace_foo_enabled(), avoiding a redundant
static_branch_unlikely() re-evaluation inside the tracepoint.
trace_call__foo() calls the tracepoint callbacks directly without
utilizing the static branch again.

f63a9df7e3 sysctl: fix uninitialized variable in proc_do_large_bitmap
proc_do_large_bitmap() does not initialize variable c, which is expected
to be set to a trailing character by proc_get_long().

However, proc_get_long() only sets c when the input buffer contains a
trailing character after the parsed value.

If c is not initialized it may happen to contain a '-'. If this is the
case proc_do_large_bitmap() expects to be able to parse a second part of
the input buffer. If there is no second part an unjustified -EINVAL will
be returned.

Initialize c to 0 to prevent returning -EINVAL on valid input.
