This is another run of the Coccinelle script for converting kmalloc()
family of allocations to kmalloc_obj() via the existing rules in
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci
This catches both the set of kmalloc() uses added since the first
kmalloc_obj() conversions in v7.0 and adds a large group missed in the
first pass due to Coccinelle not interacting well with the cleanup.h
scoped_...() family of macros[1]. I worked around this with spatch's
"--macro-file" argument to a file with all the scoped_...() macros mapped
to Coccinelle's YACFE_ITERATOR[2] as that was the closest viable control
flow indicator I could find.
Build tested allmodconfig on x86, arm64, arm, loongarch, mips, powerpc,
riscv, and s390 with no new warnings.

__within_kprobe_blacklist() traverses kprobe_blacklist without holding

removes blacklist entries and immediately frees them with kfree().
A concurrent call to within_kprobe_blacklist() can therefore dereference
freed memory.
Furthermore, within_kprobe_blacklist() can be called in atomic or
non-preemptible contexts where the sleeping kprobe_mutex cannot be taken.
Protect kprobe_blacklist with RCU. Use guard(rcu)() and

insertions, list_del_rcu() for deletions, and kfree_rcu() to reclaim

The fields of a probe-based dynamic event (kprobe, uprobe, eprobe and
fprobe events) are created in traceprobe_define_arg_fields() by handing
the probe_arg name/type strings to trace_define_field(), which only
stores the pointers without copying. Those strings are owned by the
trace_probe and are freed when that probe is removed.
An event can have several probes attached. The field list is defined
only once, by the first probe that registers the event, but it is kept
alive by any surviving sibling probe. Deleting just that first probe by
symbol -
# primary A: fields are defined from A's args
echo 'p:kprobes/ev vfs_read a1=$arg1' > kprobe_events
# append B: shares A's event call
echo 'p:kprobes/ev vfs_write a1=$arg1' >> kprobe_events
# delete only A (matched by symbol), B survives
echo '-:kprobes/ev vfs_read' >> kprobe_events
frees A's args (trace_probe_cleanup() -> traceprobe_free_probe_arg()),
but trace_probe_unlink() keeps the trace_probe_event because the probe
list is not empty. The event call stays registered via B while its
fields now reference freed memory. Any field lookup then reads it, e.g.
echo 'a1 == 1' > events/kprobes/ev/filter

field->name references parg->name (kstrdup'd, freed with the probe) and,
for array arguments, field->type references parg->fmt (kmalloc'd, freed
with the probe) - the scalar type otherwise points at the static
fmttype rodata, which is safe.
Have traceprobe_define_arg_fields() duplicate the name and type strings
and anchor the copies on the trace_probe_event, which embeds the event
call and outlives every individual probe; trace_probe_event_free()
releases them.
The reproducer above triggers reliably; the field lookup and the delete
both run under event_mutex, so this is a dangling reference after
removal rather than a race.
The issue was found by the autokbug dynamic kernel fuzzer at Tencent
Yunding Lab.

btf_find_struct_member() traverses into nested anonymous structures and
unions to find a struct member. However, get_bitoffset_of_field() in
trace_probe.c checked btf_type_kflag(type) using the outer parent type
instead of the actual anonymous structure/union that directly contains
the found member.
If the parent structure and anonymous structure have mismatched kflags
(e.g., the parent has kflag=0 while the anonymous structure has kflag=1
because it contains bitfields), the bitfield size encoded in the upper
8 bits of member->offset is erroneously treated as part of the byte/bit
offset, corrupting the resolved offset and failing to set last_bitsize.
Similarly, btf_find_struct_member() pushed anonymous member offsets
onto anon_stack without masking BTF_MEMBER_BIT_OFFSET() when kflag is set.
To fix this problem, update btf_find_struct_member() to return actual
containing structure/union type via member_type, use appropriate
__btf_member_bit_offset() to get bit offset, and use member_type for
btf_type_kflag() in get_bitoffset_of_field().

btf_find_struct_member() traverses into nested anonymous structures
and unions by pushing members with !member->name_off onto anon_stack.
However, it does not consider the unnamed bitfields (e.g. `int : 5`
or `unsigned int : 0`) which also have member->name_off == 0.
If such an unnamed bitfield is pushed to anon_stack, the
btf_find_struct_member() return an error even if there are other
valid entries in anon_stack.
To fix this, only push unnamed struct/union members to anon_stack.
Also move the btf_type_is_struct() check to the entry of this function
because now it is sure only struct/union are pushed to anon_stack.

Since commit b69bb476de ("cgroup: fix race between fork and
cgroup.kill"), the fork path snapshots the kill_seq of the child's
future cgroup into kargs->kill_seq, and cgroup_post_fork() SIGKILLs
the child if that cgroup's kill_seq has changed in the meantime, to
catch forks racing with a cgroup.kill sweep.
For CLONE_INTO_CGROUP, however, the snapshot in cgroup_css_set_fork()
is taken before the target cgroup has been resolved: kargs->cgrp is
always NULL at this point (it is only set at the end of the function).
So the "if (kargs->cgrp)" branch is dead code and the snapshot always
records the kill_seq of the parent's cgroup. cgroup_post_fork() then
compares it with the kill_seq of the target cgroup, so the child gets
SIGKILLed whenever the two cgroups have been killed a different number
of times.
As a result, once cgroup.kill has been written to a cgroup, every
child subsequently cloned into it with clone3(CLONE_INTO_CGROUP) is
killed on the spot, for as long as the cgroup exists: kill_seq is not
exposed to userspace and never resets.
Re-snapshot kill_seq from the target cgroup once it has been resolved,
and drop the dead branch at the early snapshot site.
This does not reopen the race fixed by b69bb476de. For
CLONE_INTO_CGROUP, everything from the snapshot to the check in
cgroup_post_fork() runs with cgroup_mutex held, and kill_seq is
only ever incremented under cgroup_mutex.
tj: Updated the comment above kill_seq to reflect the new serialization
rules as suggested by Shakeel Butt.

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.

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.

Clean up zram compression backends by removing redundant error
cleanup, adding parameter and dictionary validation, auto-prefixing

Baghdasaryan)
Introduce an IOCTL-based binary interface for memory allocation

This eliminates the text-parsing overhead of /proc/allocinfo and
provides up to a 20x speedup by transferring only filtered allocation

- "better block swap batching and a different take on swap_ops v5"

- "mm: kmemleak: reduce transient false positives by confirming leaks"
(Catalin Marinas)
Reduce false-positive kmemleak reports by combining two kmemleak

- "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.

Canceling the last inactive work skips pwq_dec_nr_active(), so an empty

pwq_release_workfn() currently puts the pool before removing that pwq.
If this drops the last pool reference, the pool can be RCU-freed while
the pwq remains reachable, and node_activate_pending_pwq() may trylock
the freed pool->lock.
Remove the pwq from pending_pwqs before putting the pool.

isolated_cpus tracks CPUs isolated with isolcpus= as well as CPUs in
isolated cpuset partitions. When an isolated partition is released,
isolated_cpus_update() removes its whole CPU mask. This also clears CPUs
which were already isolated at boot.
This can be reproduced on a cgroup v2 system booted with
isolcpus=domain,15:
cd /sys/fs/cgroup
echo +cpuset > cgroup.subtree_control
mkdir cpuset-repro
echo 15 > cpuset-repro/cpuset.cpus
echo isolated > cpuset-repro/cpuset.cpus.partition
echo member > cpuset-repro/cpuset.cpus.partition
cat cpuset.cpus.isolated
CPU 15 is absent before the change. It must remain in
cpuset.cpus.isolated after the partition is released.
Update isolated_cpus one CPU at a time and keep CPUs outside the
boot-time domain housekeeping mask isolated.

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 1b08668748 ("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.

"Make boot time huge page allocation work nicely with kexec handover.
Today allocation of gigantic pages in HugeTLB cannot work reliably
with kexec handover (KHO):
- HugeTLB allocates gigantic pages using memblock and autoscaling of
KHO scratch accounts for these allocations. When gigantic pages
occupy half of the memory of more, KHO fails to allocate its
scratch memory.
- After kexec handover, memblock allocations exclusively use KHO
scratch that is not supposed to contain preserved memory. This
essentially blocks preservation of HugeTLB with gigantic pages.
Extend early memory pools available for KHO kernel with areas that are
guaranteed not to contain preserved memory"

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

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.

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
91542863ab ("ring-buffer: Fix crash passing ERR_PTR to kthread_stop()").

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:

scx_dsq_move() verifies that the task belongs to the calling scheduler
before taking any locks and aborts the scheduler on mismatch. The task can
lose the sched association at any point: It can run and fully exit, which
clears the association, or get rehomed to a different sub-sched. Both are
benign races, but the early ownership check escalates them into scheduler
aborts.
Move the ownership check below the cursor-lost check. Every ownership change
dequeues the task first, so a task that is still on the iterated DSQ under
the lock while owned elsewhere indicates a genuine violation and should
abort.
Also fix two stale comments still referencing sched_ext_free(), which has
been renamed to sched_ext_dead().
