There are two possible scenarios for syscall filtering:
- having a trusted/allowed range of PCs, and intercepting everything else
- or the opposite: a single untrusted/intercepted range and allowing
everything else (this is relevant for any kind of sandboxing scenario,
or monitoring behavior of a single library)
The current API only allows the former use case due to allowed
range wrap-around check. Add PR_SYS_DISPATCH_INCLUSIVE_ON that
enables the second use case.
Add PR_SYS_DISPATCH_EXCLUSIVE_ON alias for PR_SYS_DISPATCH_ON
to make it clear how it's different from the new
PR_SYS_DISPATCH_INCLUSIVE_ON.

Successful syscalls don't change errno, so checking errno is wrong
to ensure that a syscall has failed. For example for the following
sequence:
prctl(PR_SET_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH, op, 0x0, 0xff, 0);
EXPECT_EQ(EINVAL, errno);
prctl(PR_SET_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH, op, 0x0, 0x0, &sel);
EXPECT_EQ(EINVAL, errno);
only the first syscall may fail and set errno, but the second may succeed
and keep errno intact, and the check will falsely pass.
Or if errno happened to be EINVAL before, even the first check may falsely
pass.
Also use EXPECT/ASSERT consistently. Currently there is an inconsistent mix
without obvious reasons for usage of one or another.

Nested file systems, that is those which invoke call_mmap() within their
own f_op->mmap() handlers, may encounter underlying file systems which
provide the f_op->mmap_prepare() hook introduced by commit c84bf6dd2b
("mm: introduce new .mmap_prepare() file callback").
We have a chicken-and-egg scenario here - until all file systems are
converted to using .mmap_prepare(), we cannot convert these nested
handlers, as we can't call f_op->mmap from an .mmap_prepare() hook.
So we have to do it the other way round - invoke the .mmap_prepare() hook
from an .mmap() one.
in order to do so, we need to convert VMA state into a struct vm_area_desc
descriptor, invoking the underlying file system's f_op->mmap_prepare()
callback passing a pointer to this, and then setting VMA state accordingly
and safely.
This patch achieves this via the compat_vma_mmap_prepare() function, which
we invoke from call_mmap() if f_op->mmap_prepare() is specified in the
passed in file pointer.
We place the fundamental logic into mm/vma.h where VMA manipulation
belongs. We also update the VMA userland tests to accommodate the
changes.
The compat_vma_mmap_prepare() function and its associated machinery is
temporary, and will be removed once the conversion of file systems is
complete.
We carefully place this code so it can be used with CONFIG_MMU and also
with cutting edge nommu silicon.

When running BPF selftests on arm64 with a 64K page size, I encountered
the following two test failures:
sockmap_basic/sockmap skb_verdict change tail:FAIL
tc_change_tail:FAIL
With further debugging, I identified the root cause in the following
kernel code within __bpf_skb_change_tail():
u32 max_len = BPF_SKB_MAX_LEN;
u32 min_len = __bpf_skb_min_len(skb);
int ret;
if (unlikely(flags || new_len > max_len || new_len < min_len))
return -EINVAL;
With a 4K page size, new_len = 65535 and max_len = 16064, the function
returns -EINVAL. However, With a 64K page size, max_len increases to
261824, allowing execution to proceed further in the function. This is
because BPF_SKB_MAX_LEN scales with the page size and larger page sizes
result in higher max_len values.
Updating the new_len parameter in both tests based on actual kernel
page size resolved both failures.

The bpf selftest xdp_adjust_tail/xdp_adjust_frags_tail_grow failed on
arm64 with 64KB page:
xdp_adjust_tail/xdp_adjust_frags_tail_grow:FAIL
In bpf_prog_test_run_xdp(), the xdp->frame_sz is set to 4K, but later on
when constructing frags, with 64K page size, the frag data_len could
be more than 4K. This will cause problems in bpf_xdp_frags_increase_tail().
To fix the failure, the xdp->frame_sz is set to be PAGE_SIZE so kernel
can test different page size properly. With the kernel change, the user
space and bpf prog needs adjustment. Currently, the MAX_SKB_FRAGS default
value is 17, so for 4K page, the maximum packet size will be less than 68K.
To test 64K page, a bigger maximum packet size than 68K is desired. So two
different functions are implemented for subtest xdp_adjust_frags_tail_grow.
Depending on different page size, different data input/output sizes are used
to adapt with different page size.

The test case absent_mark_in_the_middle_state is equivalent of the
following C program:
1: r8 = bpf_get_prandom_u32();
2: r6 = -32;
3: bpf_iter_num_new(&fp[-8], 0, 10);
4: if (unlikely(bpf_get_prandom_u32()))
5: r6 = -31;
6: for (;;) {
7: if (!bpf_iter_num_next(&fp[-8]))
8: break;
9: if (unlikely(bpf_get_prandom_u32()))
10: *(u64 *)(fp + r6) = 7;
11: }
12: bpf_iter_num_destroy(&fp[-8]);
13: return 0;
W/o a fix that instructs verifier to ignore branches count for loop
entries verification proceeds as follows:
- 1-4, state is {r6=-32,fp-8=active};
- 6, checkpoint A is created with {r6=-32,fp-8=active};
- 7, checkpoint B is created with {r6=-32,fp-8=active},
push state {r6=-32,fp-8=active} from 7 to 9;
- 8,12,13, {r6=-32,fp-8=drained}, exit;
- pop state with {r6=-32,fp-8=active} from 7 to 9;
- 9, push state {r6=-32,fp-8=active} from 9 to 10;
- 6, checkpoint C is created with {r6=-32,fp-8=active};
- 7, checkpoint A is hit, no precision propagated for r6 to C;
- pop state {r6=-32,fp-8=active} from 9 to 10;
- 10, state is {r6=-31,fp-8=active}, r6 is marked as read and precise,
these marks are propagated to checkpoints A and B (but not C, as
it is not the parent of current state;
- 6, {r6=-31,fp-8=active} checkpoint C is hit, because r6 is not
marked precise for this checkpoint;
- the program is accepted, despite a possibility of unaligned u64
stack access at offset -31.
The test case absent_mark_in_the_middle_state2 is similar except the
following change:
r8 = bpf_get_prandom_u32();
r6 = -32;
bpf_iter_num_new(&fp[-8], 0, 10);
if (unlikely(bpf_get_prandom_u32())) {
r6 = -31;
+ jump_into_loop:
+ goto +0;
+ goto loop;
+ }
+ if (unlikely(bpf_get_prandom_u32()))
+ goto jump_into_loop;
+ loop:
for (;;) {
if (!bpf_iter_num_next(&fp[-8]))
break;
if (unlikely(bpf_get_prandom_u32()))
*(u64 *)(fp + r6) = 7;
}
bpf_iter_num_destroy(&fp[-8])
return 0
The goal is to check that read/precision marks are propagated to
checkpoint created at 'goto +0' that resides outside of the loop.
The test case absent_mark_in_the_middle_state3 is a bit different and
is equivalent to the C program below:
int absent_mark_in_the_middle_state3(void)
{
bpf_iter_num_new(&fp[-8], 0, 10)
loop1(-32, &fp[-8])
loop1_wrapper(&fp[-8])
bpf_iter_num_destroy(&fp[-8])
}
int loop1(num, iter)
{
while (bpf_iter_num_next(iter)) {
if (unlikely(bpf_get_prandom_u32()))
*(fp + num) = 7;
}
return 0
}
int loop1_wrapper(iter)
{
r6 = -32;
if (unlikely(bpf_get_prandom_u32()))
r6 = -31;
loop1(r6, iter);
return 0;
}
The unsafe state is reached in a similar manner, but the loop is
located inside a subprogram that is called from two locations in the
main subprogram. This detail is important for exercising
bpf_scc_visit->backedges memory management.

Add test_rss_default_context_rule() to verify that ntuple rules can
correctly direct traffic to the default RSS context (context 0).
The test creates two ntuple rules with explicit location priorities:
- A high-priority rule (loc 0) directing specific port traffic to
context 0.
- A low-priority rule (loc 1) directing all other TCP traffic to context
1.
This validates that:
1. Rules targeting the default context function properly.
2. Traffic steering works as expected when mixing default and
additional RSS contexts.
The test was written by AI, and reviewed by humans.

This commit introduces a new vmtest.sh runner for vsock.
It uses virtme-ng/qemu to run tests in a VM. The tests validate G2H,
H2G, and loopback. The testing tools from tools/testing/vsock/ are
reused. Currently, only vsock_test is used.
VMCI and hyperv support is included in the config file to be built with
the -b option, though not used in the tests.
Only tested on x86.
To run:
$ make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=vsock
$ tools/testing/selftests/vsock/vmtest.sh
or
$ make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=vsock run_tests

Future work can include vsock_diag_test.
Because vsock requires a VM to test anything other than loopback, this
patch adds vmtest.sh as a kselftest itself. This is different than other
systems that have a "vmtest.sh", where it is used as a utility script to
spin up a VM to run the selftests as a guest (but isn't hooked into
kselftest).

On arm64, the cgroup_mprog_ordering selftest failed with test_progs run
when building with clang compiler. The reason is due to socklen_t optlen
not initialized.
In kernel function do_ip_getsockopt(), we have
if (copy_from_sockptr(&len, optlen, sizeof(int)))
return -EFAULT;
if (len < 0)
return -EINVAL;
The above 'len' variable is a negative value and hence the test failed.
But the test is okay on x86_64. I checked the x86_64 asm code and I didn't
see explicit initialization of 'optlen' but its value is 0 so kernel
didn't return error. This should be a pure luck.
Fix the bug by initializing 'oplen' var properly.

KVM/arm64 fixes for 6.16, take #2
- Rework of system register accessors for system registers that are
directly writen to memory, so that sanitisation of the in-memory
value happens at the correct time (after the read, or before the
write). For convenience, RMW-style accessors are also provided.
- Multiple fixes for the so-called "arch-timer-edge-cases' selftest,
which was always broken.
Once the THREADED napi is disabled, the napi kthread should also be
stopped. Keeping the kthread intact after disabling THREADED napi makes
the PID of this kthread show up in the output of netlink 'napi-get' and
ps -ef output.
The is discussed in the patch below:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250502191548.559cc416@kernel.org
NAPI kthread should stop only if,
- There are no pending napi poll scheduled for this thread.
- There are no new napi poll scheduled for this thread while it has
stopped.
- The ____napi_schedule can correctly fallback to the softirq for napi
polling.
Since napi_schedule_prep provides mutual exclusion over STATE_SCHED bit,
it is safe to unset the STATE_THREADED when SCHED_THREADED is set or the
SCHED bit is not set. SCHED_THREADED being set means that SCHED is
already set and the kthread owns this napi.
To disable threaded napi, unset STATE_THREADED bit safely if
SCHED_THREADED is set or SCHED is unset. Once STATE_THREADED is unset
safely then wait for the kthread to unset the SCHED_THREADED bit so it
safe to stop the kthread.
Add a new test in nl_netdev to verify this behaviour.

Remove the exit call from validate_result() function and move the
test exit logic to the main script. This allows the function to
be reused in scenarios where the test needs to continue execution
after validation, rather than terminating immediately.
The validate_result() function should focus on validation logic
only, while the calling script maintains control over program
flow and exit conditions. This change improves code modularity
and prepares for potential future enhancements where multiple
validations might be needed in a single test run.

nolibc only supports symbol-based stackprotectors, based on the global
variable __stack_chk_guard. Support for this differs between
architectures and toolchains. Some use the symbol mode by default, some
require a flag to enable it and some don't support it at all.
Before the nolibc test Makefile required the availability of
"-mstack-protector-guard=global" to enable stackprotectors.
While this flag makes sure that the correct mode is available it doesn't
work where the correct mode is the only supported one and therefore the
flag is not implemented.
Switch to a more dynamic probing mechanism.
This correctly enables stack protectors for mips, loongarch and m68k.

Further investigation reveals that this occurs in the `perf script tests`,
because it uses `db_test.py` script. This script sets `perf_db_export_mode = True`.
With `perf_db_export_mode` enabled, if a sample originates from a hypervisor,
perf doesn't set maps for "[H]" sample in the code. Consequently, `al->maps` remains NULL
when `maps__machine(al->maps)` is called from `db_export__sample`.
As al->maps can be NULL in case of Hypervisor samples , use thread->maps

This implements the core of the series and causes the verifier to fall
back to mitigating Spectre v1 using speculation barriers. The approach
was presented at LPC'24 [1] and RAID'24 [2].
If we find any forbidden behavior on a speculative path, we insert a
nospec (e.g., lfence speculation barrier on x86) before the instruction
and stop verifying the path. While verifying a speculative path, we can
furthermore stop verification of that path whenever we encounter a
nospec instruction.
A minimal example program would look as follows:
A = true
B = true
if A goto e
f()
if B goto e
unsafe()
e: exit
There are the following speculative and non-speculative paths
(`cur->speculative` and `speculative` referring to the value of the
push_stack() parameters):
- A = true
- B = true
- if A goto e
- A && !cur->speculative && !speculative
- exit
- !A && !cur->speculative && speculative
- f()
- if B goto e
- B && cur->speculative && !speculative
- exit
- !B && cur->speculative && speculative
- unsafe()
If f() contains any unsafe behavior under Spectre v1 and the unsafe
behavior matches `state->speculative &&
error_recoverable_with_nospec(err)`, do_check() will now add a nospec
before f() instead of rejecting the program:
A = true
B = true
if A goto e
nospec
f()
if B goto e
unsafe()
e: exit
Alternatively, the algorithm also takes advantage of nospec instructions
inserted for other reasons (e.g., Spectre v4). Taking the program above
as an example, speculative path exploration can stop before f() if a
nospec was inserted there because of Spectre v4 sanitization.
In this example, all instructions after the nospec are dead code (and
with the nospec they are also dead code speculatively).
For this, it relies on the fact that speculation barriers generally
prevent all later instructions from executing if the speculation was not
correct:
* On Intel x86_64, lfence acts as full speculation barrier, not only as
a load fence [3]:
An LFENCE instruction or a serializing instruction will ensure that
no later instructions execute, even speculatively, until all prior
instructions complete locally. [...] Inserting an LFENCE instruction
after a bounds check prevents later operations from executing before
the bound check completes.
This was experimentally confirmed in [4].
* On AMD x86_64, lfence is dispatch-serializing [5] (requires MSR
C001_1029[1] to be set if the MSR is supported, this happens in
init_amd()). AMD further specifies "A dispatch serializing instruction
forces the processor to retire the serializing instruction and all
previous instructions before the next instruction is executed" [8]. As
dispatch is not specific to memory loads or branches, lfence therefore
also affects all instructions there. Also, if retiring a branch means
it's PC change becomes architectural (should be), this means any
"wrong" speculation is aborted as required for this series.
* ARM's SB speculation barrier instruction also affects "any instruction
that appears later in the program order than the barrier" [6].
* PowerPC's barrier also affects all subsequent instructions [7]:
[...] executing an ori R31,R31,0 instruction ensures that all
instructions preceding the ori R31,R31,0 instruction have completed
before the ori R31,R31,0 instruction completes, and that no
subsequent instructions are initiated, even out-of-order, until
after the ori R31,R31,0 instruction completes. The ori R31,R31,0
instruction may complete before storage accesses associated with
instructions preceding the ori R31,R31,0 instruction have been
performed
Regarding the example, this implies that `if B goto e` will not execute
before `if A goto e` completes. Once `if A goto e` completes, the CPU
should find that the speculation was wrong and continue with `exit`.
If there is any other path that leads to `if B goto e` (and therefore
`unsafe()`) without going through `if A goto e`, then a nospec will
still be needed there. However, this patch assumes this other path will
be explored separately and therefore be discovered by the verifier even
if the exploration discussed here stops at the nospec.
This patch furthermore has the unfortunate consequence that Spectre v1
mitigations now only support architectures which implement BPF_NOSPEC.
Before this commit, Spectre v1 mitigations prevented exploits by
rejecting the programs on all architectures. Because some JITs do not
implement BPF_NOSPEC, this patch therefore may regress unpriv BPF's
security to a limited extent:
* The regression is limited to systems vulnerable to Spectre v1, have
unprivileged BPF enabled, and do NOT emit insns for BPF_NOSPEC. The
latter is not the case for x86 64- and 32-bit, arm64, and powerpc
64-bit and they are therefore not affected by the regression.
According to commit a6f6a95f25 ("LoongArch, bpf: Fix jit to skip
speculation barrier opcode"), LoongArch is not vulnerable to Spectre
v1 and therefore also not affected by the regression.
* To the best of my knowledge this regression may therefore only affect
MIPS. This is deemed acceptable because unpriv BPF is still disabled
there by default. As stated in a previous commit, BPF_NOSPEC could be
implemented for MIPS based on GCC's speculation_barrier
implementation.
* It is unclear which other architectures (besides x86 64- and 32-bit,
ARM64, PowerPC 64-bit, LoongArch, and MIPS) supported by the kernel
are vulnerable to Spectre v1. Also, it is not clear if barriers are
available on these architectures. Implementing BPF_NOSPEC on these
architectures therefore is non-trivial. Searching GCC and the kernel
for speculation barrier implementations for these architectures
yielded no result.
* If any of those regressed systems is also vulnerable to Spectre v4,
the system was already vulnerable to Spectre v4 attacks based on
unpriv BPF before this patch and the impact is therefore further
limited.
As an alternative to regressing security, one could still reject
programs if the architecture does not emit BPF_NOSPEC (e.g., by removing
the empty BPF_NOSPEC-case from all JITs except for LoongArch where it
appears justified). However, this will cause rejections on these archs
that are likely unfounded in the vast majority of cases.
In the tests, some are now successful where we previously had a
false-positive (i.e., rejection). Change them to reflect where the
nospec should be inserted (using __xlated_unpriv) and modify the error
message if the nospec is able to mitigate a problem that previously
shadowed another problem (in that case __xlated_unpriv does not work,
therefore just add a comment).
Define SPEC_V1 to avoid duplicating this ifdef whenever we check for
nospec insns using __xlated_unpriv, define it here once. This also
improves readability. PowerPC can probably also be added here. However,
omit it for now because the BPF CI currently does not include a test.
Limit it to EPERM, EACCES, and EINVAL (and not everything except for
EFAULT and ENOMEM) as it already has the desired effect for most
real-world programs. Briefly went through all the occurrences of EPERM,
EINVAL, and EACCESS in verifier.c to validate that catching them like
this makes sense.

When reg->type is CONST_PTR_TO_MAP, it can not be null. However the
verifier explores the branches under rX == 0 in check_cond_jmp_op()
even if reg->type is CONST_PTR_TO_MAP, because it was not checked for
in reg_not_null().
Fix this by adding CONST_PTR_TO_MAP to the set of types that are
considered non nullable in reg_not_null().
An old "unpriv: cmp map pointer with zero" selftest fails with this
change, because now early out correctly triggers in
check_cond_jmp_op(), making the verification to pass.
In practice verifier may allow pointer to null comparison in unpriv,
since in many cases the relevant branch and comparison op are removed
as dead code. So change the expected test result to __success_unpriv.

Currently libbpf supports bpf_program__attach_cgroup() with signature:
LIBBPF_API struct bpf_link *
bpf_program__attach_cgroup(const struct bpf_program *prog, int cgroup_fd);
To support mprog style attachment, additionsl fields like flags,
relative_{fd,id} and expected_revision are needed.
Add a new API:
LIBBPF_API struct bpf_link *
bpf_program__attach_cgroup_opts(const struct bpf_program *prog, int cgroup_fd,
const struct bpf_cgroup_opts *opts);
where bpf_cgroup_opts contains all above needed fields.

Current cgroup prog ordering is appending at attachment time. This is not
ideal. In some cases, users want specific ordering at a particular cgroup
level. To address this, the existing mprog API seems an ideal solution with
supporting BPF_F_BEFORE and BPF_F_AFTER flags.
But there are a few obstacles to directly use kernel mprog interface.
Currently cgroup bpf progs already support prog attach/detach/replace
and link-based attach/detach/replace. For example, in struct
bpf_prog_array_item, the cgroup_storage field needs to be together
with bpf prog. But the mprog API struct bpf_mprog_fp only has bpf_prog
as the member, which makes it difficult to use kernel mprog interface.
In another case, the current cgroup prog detach tries to use the
same flag as in attach. This is different from mprog kernel interface
which uses flags passed from user space.
So to avoid modifying existing behavior, I made the following changes to
support mprog API for cgroup progs:
- The support is for prog list at cgroup level. Cross-level prog list
(a.k.a. effective prog list) is not supported.
- Previously, BPF_F_PREORDER is supported only for prog attach, now
BPF_F_PREORDER is also supported by link-based attach.
- For attach, BPF_F_BEFORE/BPF_F_AFTER/BPF_F_ID/BPF_F_LINK is supported
similar to kernel mprog but with different implementation.
- For detach and replace, use the existing implementation.
- For attach, detach and replace, the revision for a particular prog
list, associated with a particular attach type, will be updated
by increasing count by 1.

Ian mentioned a reliably occurred failure in the trace_btf_general test
where he obtained trace output of:
sleep/279619 clock_nanosleep(0, 0, {1,1,}, 0x7ffcd47b6450) = 0
But the regex pattern used for verification is
"^sleep/[0-9]+ clock_nanosleep\(0, 0, \{1,\}, ..."
This lead to a mismatch.
The reason is, different sleep commands use different timespec data to
call clock_nanosleep, on my machine, the value of tv_nsec is 0.
~~~
$ sudo /tmp/perf/perf trace -e clock_nanosleep -- sleep 1
0.000 (1000.196 ms): sleep/54261 clock_nanosleep(rqtp: { .tv_sec:
1, .tv_nsec: 0 }, rmtp: 0x7ffe13529550) = 0
~~~
While Ian had this trace log:
~~~
$ sudo /tmp/perf/perf trace -e clock_nanosleep -- sleep 1
0.000 (1000.208 ms): sleep/1710732 clock_nanosleep(rqtp: {
.tv_sec: 1, .tv_nsec: 1 }, rmtp: 0x7ffc091f4090) = 0
~~~
Because sleep's behavior of setting 'tv_nsec' is not certain, and tv_sec
is most definitely 1, this patch relaxes the key regex pattern to
'\{1,.*\}' for a better chance of matching.
