Unlike sys_clone(), these helpers have only in kernel users which should
pass the correct "flags" argument. lower_32_bits(flags) just adds the
unnecessary confusion and doesn't allow to use the CLONE_ flags which
don't fit into 32 bits.
create_io_thread() looks especially confusing because:
- "flags" is a compile-time constant, so lower_32_bits() simply
has no effect
- .exit_signal = (lower_32_bits(flags) & CSIGNAL) is harmless but
doesn't look right, copy_process(CLONE_THREAD) will ignore this
argument anyway.
None of these helpers actually need CLONE_UNTRACED or "& ~CSIGNAL", but
their presence does not add any confusion and improves code clarity.

Since we use 16-bit precision, the raw data will undergo integer division,
which may sometimes result in data loss. This can lead to slightly
inaccurate CPU utilization calculations. Under normal circumstances, this
isn't an issue. However, when CPU utilization reaches 100%, the
calculated result might exceed 100%. For example, with raw data like the
following:
sample_period 400000134 new_stat 83648414036 old_stat 83247417494
sample_period=400000134/2^24=23
new_stat=83648414036/2^24=4985
old_stat=83247417494/2^24=4961
util=105%
Below log will output：
CPU#3 Utilization every 0s during lockup:
#1: 0% system, 0% softirq, 105% hardirq, 0% idle
#2: 0% system, 0% softirq, 105% hardirq, 0% idle
#3: 0% system, 0% softirq, 100% hardirq, 0% idle
#4: 0% system, 0% softirq, 105% hardirq, 0% idle
#5: 0% system, 0% softirq, 105% hardirq, 0% idle
To avoid confusion, we enforce a 100% display cap when calculations exceed
this threshold.
We also round to the nearest multiple of 16.8 milliseconds to improve the
accuracy.

KCOV Remote uses two separate memory buffers, one private to the kernel
space (kcov_remote_areas) and the second one shared between user and
kernel space (kcov->area). After every pair of kcov_remote_start() and
kcov_remote_stop(), the coverage data collected in the kcov_remote_areas
is copied to kcov->area so the user can read the collected coverage data.
This memcpy() is located in kcov_move_area().
The load/store pattern on the kernel-side [1] is:
```
/* dst_area === kcov->area, dst_area[0] is where the count is stored */
dst_len = READ_ONCE(*(unsigned long *)dst_area);
...
memcpy(dst_entries, src_entries, ...);
...
WRITE_ONCE(*(unsigned long *)dst_area, dst_len + entries_moved);
```
And for the user [2]:
```
/* cover is equivalent to kcov->area */
n = __atomic_load_n(&cover[0], __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
```
Without a write-memory barrier, the atomic load for the user can
potentially read fresh values of the count stored at cover[0], but
continue to read stale coverage data from the buffer itself. Hence, we
recommend adding a write-memory barrier between the memcpy() and the
WRITE_ONCE() in kcov_move_area().

Currently, the kexec_file_load syscall on x86 does not support passing a
device tree blob to the new kernel. Some embedded x86 systems use device
trees. On these systems, failing to pass a device tree to the new kernel
causes a boot failure.
To add support for this, we copy the behavior of ARM64 and PowerPC and
copy the current boot's device tree blob for use in the new kernel. We do
this on x86 by passing the device tree blob as a setup_data entry in
accordance with the x86 boot protocol.
This behavior is gated behind the KEXEC_FILE_FORCE_DTB flag.

[Symptom]
The fair server mechanism, which is intended to prevent fair starvation
when higher-priority tasks monopolize the CPU.
Specifically, RT tasks on the runqueue may not be scheduled as expected.
[Analysis]
The log "sched: DL replenish lagged too much" triggered.
By memory dump of dl_server:
curr = 0xFFFFFF80D6A0AC00 (
dl_server = 0xFFFFFF83CD5B1470(
dl_runtime = 0x02FAF080,
dl_deadline = 0x3B9ACA00,
dl_period = 0x3B9ACA00,
dl_bw = 0xCCCC,
dl_density = 0xCCCC,
runtime = 0x02FAF080,
deadline = 0x0000082031EB0E80,
flags = 0x0,
dl_throttled = 0x0,
dl_yielded = 0x0,
dl_non_contending = 0x0,
dl_overrun = 0x0,
dl_server = 0x1,
dl_server_active = 0x1,
dl_defer = 0x1,
dl_defer_armed = 0x0,
dl_defer_running = 0x1,
dl_timer = (
node = (
expires = 0x000008199756E700),
_softexpires = 0x000008199756E700,
function = 0xFFFFFFDB9AF44D30 = dl_task_timer,
base = 0xFFFFFF83CD5A12C0,
state = 0x0,
is_rel = 0x0,
is_soft = 0x0,
clock_update_flags = 0x4,
clock = 0x000008204A496900,
- The timer expiration time (rq->curr->dl_server->dl_timer->expires)
is already in the past, indicating the timer has expired.
- The timer state (rq->curr->dl_server->dl_timer->state) is 0.
[Suspected Root Cause]
The relevant code flow in the throttle path of
update_curr_dl_se() as follows:
dequeue_dl_entity(dl_se, 0); // the DL entity is dequeued
if (unlikely(is_dl_boosted(dl_se) || !start_dl_timer(dl_se))) {
if (dl_server(dl_se)) // timer registration fails
enqueue_dl_entity(dl_se, ENQUEUE_REPLENISH);//enqueue immediately
...
}
The failure of `start_dl_timer` is caused by attempting to register a
timer with an expiration time that is already in the past. When this
situation persists, the code repeatedly re-enqueues the DL entity
without properly replenishing or restarting the timer, resulting in RT
task may not be scheduled as expected.
[Proposed Solution]:
Instead of immediately re-enqueuing the DL entity on timer registration
failure, this change ensures the DL entity is properly replenished and
the timer is restarted, preventing RT potential starvation.

Commit cccb45d7c4 ("sched/deadline: Less agressive dl_server
handling") reduced dl-server overhead by delaying disabling servers only
after there are no fair task around for a whole period, which means that
deadline entities are not dequeued right away on a server stop event.
However, the delay opens up a window in which a request for changing
server parameters can break per-runqueue running_bw tracking, as
reported by Yuri.
Close the problematic window by unconditionally calling dl_server_stop()
before applying the new parameters (ensuring deadline entities go
through an actual dequeue).

- Fix rtla and latency tooling pkg-config errors

missing and confuses the developer. Instead, report that the
pkg-config files are missing and should be installed.
- Fix overflow bug of the parser in trace_get_user()
trace_get_user() uses the parsing functions to parse the user space
strings. If the parser fails due to incorrect processing, it doesn't
terminate the buffer with a nul byte. Add a "failed" flag to the
parser that gets set when parsing fails and is used to know if the
buffer is fine to use or not.
- Remove a semicolon that was at an end of a comment line
- Fix register_ftrace_graph() to unregister the pm notifier on error
The register_ftrace_graph() registers a pm notifier but there's an
error path that can exit the function without unregistering it. Since
the function returns an error, it will never be unregistered.
- Allocate and copy ftrace hash for reader of ftrace filter files
When the set_ftrace_filter or set_ftrace_notrace files are open for
read, an iterator is created and sets its hash pointer to the
associated hash that represents filtering or notrace filtering to it.
The issue is that the hash it points to can change while the
iteration is happening. All the locking used to access the tracer's
hashes are released which means those hashes can change or even be
freed. Using the hash pointed to by the iterator can cause UAF bugs
or similar.
Have the read of these files allocate and copy the corresponding
hashes and use that as that will keep them the same while the
iterator is open. This also simplifies the code as opening it for
write already does an allocate and copy, and now that the read is
doing the same, there's no need to check which way it was opened on
the release of the file, and the iterator hash can always be freed.
- Fix function graph to copy args into temp storage
The output of the function graph tracer shows both the entry and the
exit of a function. When the exit is right after the entry, it
combines the two events into one with the output of "function();",
instead of showing:
function() {
}
In order to do this, the iterator descriptor that reads the events
includes storage that saves the entry event while it peaks at the
next event in the ring buffer. The peek can free the entry event so
the iterator must store the information to use it after the peek.
With the addition of function graph tracer recording the args, where
the args are a dynamic array in the entry event, the temp storage
does not save them. This causes the args to be corrupted or even
cause a read of unsafe memory.
Add space to save the args in the temp storage of the iterator.
- Fix race between ftrace_dump and reading trace_pipe
ftrace_dump() is used when a crash occurs where the ftrace buffer
will be printed to the console. But it can also be triggered by
sysrq-z. If a sysrq-z is triggered while a task is reading trace_pipe
it can cause a race in the ftrace_dump() where it checks if the
buffer has content, then it checks if the next event is available,
and then prints the output (regardless if the next event was
available or not). Reading trace_pipe at the same time can cause it
to not be available, and this triggers a WARN_ON in the print. Move
the printing into the check if the next event exists or not

tools/latency-collector: Check pkg-config install
When calling ftrace_dump_one() concurrently with reading trace_pipe,
a WARN_ON_ONCE() in trace_printk_seq() can be triggered due to a race
condition.
The issue occurs because:
CPU0 (ftrace_dump) CPU1 (reader)
echo z > /proc/sysrq-trigger
!trace_empty(&iter)
trace_iterator_reset(&iter) <- len = size = 0
cat /sys/kernel/tracing/trace_pipe
trace_find_next_entry_inc(&iter)
__find_next_entry
ring_buffer_empty_cpu <- all empty
return NULL
trace_printk_seq(&iter.seq)
WARN_ON_ONCE(s->seq.len >= s->seq.size)
In the context between trace_empty() and trace_find_next_entry_inc()
during ftrace_dump, the ring buffer data was consumed by other readers.
This caused trace_find_next_entry_inc to return NULL, failing to populate
`iter.seq`. At this point, due to the prior trace_iterator_reset, both
`iter.seq.len` and `iter.seq.size` were set to 0. Since they are equal,
the WARN_ON_ONCE condition is triggered.
Move the trace_printk_seq() into the if block that checks to make sure the
return value of trace_find_next_entry_inc() is non-NULL in
ftrace_dump_one(), ensuring the 'iter.seq' is properly populated before
subsequent operations.

The output of the function graph tracer has two ways to display its
entries. One way for leaf functions with no events recorded within them,
and the other is for functions with events recorded inside it. As function
graph has an entry and exit event, to simplify the output of leaf
functions it combines the two, where as non leaf functions are separate:
2) | invoke_rcu_core() {
2) | raise_softirq() {
2) 0.391 us | __raise_softirq_irqoff();
2) 1.191 us | }
2) 2.086 us | }
The __raise_softirq_irqoff() function above is really two events that were
merged into one. Otherwise it would have looked like:
2) | invoke_rcu_core() {
2) | raise_softirq() {
2) | __raise_softirq_irqoff() {
2) 0.391 us | }
2) 1.191 us | }
2) 2.086 us | }
In order to do this merge, the reading of the trace output file needs to
look at the next event before printing. But since the pointer to the event
is on the ring buffer, it needs to save the entry event before it looks at
the next event as the next event goes out of focus as soon as a new event
is read from the ring buffer. After it reads the next event, it will print
the entry event with either the '{' (non leaf) or ';' and timestamps (leaf).
The iterator used to read the trace file has storage for this event. The
problem happens when the function graph tracer has arguments attached to
the entry event as the entry now has a variable length "args" field. This
field only gets set when funcargs option is used. But the args are not
recorded in this temp data and garbage could be printed. The entry field
is copied via:
data->ent = *curr;
Where "curr" is the entry field. But this method only saves the non
variable length fields from the structure.
Add a helper structure to the iterator data that adds the max args size to
the data storage in the iterator. Then simply copy the entire entry into
this storage (with size protection).

not unregistered after start_graph_tracing failed, causing a warning the
next time function_profile_enabled was written.
Fixed by adding unregister_pm_notifier in the exception path.

Then an OOB access will be triggered in ftrace_regex_release->

limiting access to parser->buffer when trace_get_user failed.

Commit f08d0c3a71 ("pidfd: add PIDFD_SELF* sentinels to refer to own

get_task_pid(), which increments pid->count but never drops it with
put_pid().
As a result, kmemleak reports unreferenced pid objects after running

Calling pmu->start()/stop() on perf events in PERF_EVENT_STATE_OFF can
leave event->hw.idx at -1. When PMU drivers later attempt to use this
negative index as a shift exponent in bitwise operations, it leads to UBSAN
shift-out-of-bounds reports.
The issue is a logical flaw in how event groups handle throttling when some
members are intentionally disabled. Based on the analysis and the
reproducer provided by Mark Rutland (this issue on both arm64 and x86-64).
The scenario unfolds as follows:
1. A group leader event is configured with a very aggressive sampling
period (e.g., sample_period = 1). This causes frequent interrupts and
triggers the throttling mechanism.
2. A child event in the same group is created in a disabled state
(.disabled = 1). This event remains in PERF_EVENT_STATE_OFF.
Since it hasn't been scheduled onto the PMU, its event->hw.idx remains
initialized at -1.
3. When throttling occurs, perf_event_throttle_group() and later
perf_event_unthrottle_group() iterate through all siblings, including
the disabled child event.
4. perf_event_throttle()/unthrottle() are called on this inactive child
event, which then call event->pmu->start()/stop().
5. The PMU driver receives the event with hw.idx == -1 and attempts to
use it as a shift exponent. e.g., in macros like PMCNTENSET(idx),
leading to the UBSAN report.
The throttling mechanism attempts to start/stop events that are not
actively scheduled on the hardware.
Move the state check into perf_event_throttle()/perf_event_unthrottle() so
that inactive events are skipped entirely. This ensures only active events
with a valid hw.idx are processed, preventing undefined behavior and
silencing UBSAN warnings. The corrected check ensures true before
proceeding with PMU operations.
The problem can be reproduced with the syzkaller reproducer:

When CONFIG_DMA_DIRECT_REMAP is enabled, atomic pool pages are
remapped via dma_common_contiguous_remap() using the supplied
pgprot. Currently, the mapping uses
pgprot_dmacoherent(PAGE_KERNEL), which leaves the memory encrypted
on systems with memory encryption enabled (e.g., ARM CCA Realms).
This can cause the DMA layer to fail or crash when accessing the
memory, as the underlying physical pages are not configured as
expected.
Fix this by requesting a decrypted mapping in the vmap() call:
pgprot_decrypted(pgprot_dmacoherent(PAGE_KERNEL))
This ensures that atomic pool memory is consistently mapped
unencrypted.

The __clear_task_blocked_on() helper added a number of sanity
checks ensuring we hold the mutex wait lock and that the task
we are clearing blocked_on pointer (if set) matches the mutex.
However, there is an edge case in the _ww_mutex_wound() logic
where we need to clear the blocked_on pointer for the task that
owns the mutex, not the task that is waiting on the mutex.
For this case the sanity checks aren't valid, so handle this
by allowing a NULL lock to skip the additional checks.
K Prateek Nayak and Maarten Lankhorst also pointed out that in
this case where we don't hold the owner's mutex wait_lock, we
need to be a bit more careful using READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE in both
the __clear_task_blocked_on() and __set_task_blocked_on()
implementations to avoid accidentally tripping WARN_ONs if two
instances race. So do that here as well.
This issue was easier to miss, I realized, as the test-ww_mutex
driver only exercises the wait-die class of ww_mutexes. I've
sent a patch[1] to address this so the logic will be easier to
test.

The estimator kthreads' affinity are defined by sysctl overwritten
preferences and applied through a plain call to the scheduler's affinity
API.
However since the introduction of managed kthreads preferred affinity,
such a practice shortcuts the kthreads core code which eventually
overwrites the target to the default unbound affinity.
Fix this with using the appropriate kthread's API.
