Pull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Restructure the persistent memory to have a "scratch" area
Instead of hard coding the KASLR offset in the persistent memory by
the ring buffer, push that work up to the callers of the persistent
memory as they are the ones that need this information. The offsets
and such is not important to the ring buffer logic and it should not
be part of that.
A scratch pad is now created when the caller allocates a ring buffer
from persistent memory by stating how much memory it needs to save.
- Allow where modules are loaded to be saved in the new scratch pad
Save the addresses of modules when they are loaded into the
persistent memory scratch pad.
- A new module_for_each_mod() helper function was created
With the acknowledgement of the module maintainers a new module
helper function was created to iterate over all the currently loaded
modules. This has a callback to be called for each module. This is
needed for when tracing is started in the persistent buffer and the
currently loaded modules need to be saved in the scratch area.
- Expose the last boot information where the kernel and modules were
loaded
The last_boot_info file is updated to print out the addresses of
where the kernel "_text" location was loaded from a previous boot, as
well as where the modules are loaded. If the buffer is recording the
current boot, it only prints "# Current" so that it does not expose
the KASLR offset of the currently running kernel.
- Allow the persistent ring buffer to be released (freed)
To have this in production environments, where the kernel command
line can not be changed easily, the ring buffer needs to be freed
when it is not going to be used. The memory for the buffer will
always be allocated at boot up, but if the system isn't going to
enable tracing, the memory needs to be freed. Allow it to be freed
and added back to the kernel memory pool.
- Allow stack traces to print the function names in the persistent
buffer
Now that the modules are saved in the persistent ring buffer, if the
same modules are loaded, the printing of the function names will
examine the saved modules. If the module is found in the scratch area
and is also loaded, then it will do the offset shift and use kallsyms
to display the function name. If the address is not found, it simply
displays the address from the previous boot in hex.

Pull bpf try_alloc_pages() support from Alexei Starovoitov:
"The pull includes work from Sebastian, Vlastimil and myself with a lot
of help from Michal and Shakeel.
This is a first step towards making kmalloc reentrant to get rid of
slab wrappers: bpf_mem_alloc, kretprobe's objpool, etc. These patches
make page allocator safe from any context.
Vlastimil kicked off this effort at LSFMM 2024:
https://lwn.net/Articles/974138/
and we continued at LSFMM 2025:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAADnVQKfkGxudNUkcPJgwe3nTZ=xohnRshx9kLZBTmR_E1DFEg@mail.gmail.com/
Why:
SLAB wrappers bind memory to a particular subsystem making it
unavailable to the rest of the kernel. Some BPF maps in production
consume Gbytes of preallocated memory. Top 5 in Meta: 1.5G, 1.2G,
1.1G, 300M, 200M. Once we have kmalloc that works in any context BPF
map preallocation won't be necessary.
How:
Synchronous kmalloc/page alloc stack has multiple stages going from
fast to slow: cmpxchg16 -> slab_alloc -> new_slab -> alloc_pages ->
rmqueue_pcplist -> __rmqueue, where rmqueue_pcplist was already
relying on trylock.
This set changes rmqueue_bulk/rmqueue_buddy to attempt a trylock and
return ENOMEM if alloc_flags & ALLOC_TRYLOCK. It then wraps this
functionality into try_alloc_pages() helper. We make sure that the
logic is sane in PREEMPT_RT.
End result: try_alloc_pages()/free_pages_nolock() are safe to call
from any context.
try_kmalloc() for any context with similar trylock approach will
follow. It will use try_alloc_pages() when slab needs a new page.
Though such try_kmalloc/page_alloc() is an opportunistic allocator,
this design ensures that the probability of successful allocation of
small objects (up to one page in size) is high.
Even before we have try_kmalloc(), we already use try_alloc_pages() in
BPF arena implementation and it's going to be used more extensively in
BPF"

Pull bpf relisient spinlock support from Alexei Starovoitov:
"This patch set introduces Resilient Queued Spin Lock (or rqspinlock
with res_spin_lock() and res_spin_unlock() APIs).
This is a qspinlock variant which recovers the kernel from a stalled
state when the lock acquisition path cannot make forward progress.
This can occur when a lock acquisition attempt enters a deadlock
situation (e.g. AA, or ABBA), or more generally, when the owner of the
lock (which we’re trying to acquire) isn’t making forward progress.
Deadlock detection is the main mechanism used to provide instant
recovery, with the timeout mechanism acting as a final line of
defense. Detection is triggered immediately when beginning the waiting
loop of a lock slow path.
Additionally, BPF programs attached to different parts of the kernel
can introduce new control flow into the kernel, which increases the
likelihood of deadlocks in code not written to handle reentrancy.
There have been multiple syzbot reports surfacing deadlocks in
internal kernel code due to the diverse ways in which BPF programs can
be attached to different parts of the kernel. By switching the BPF
subsystem’s lock usage to rqspinlock, all of these issues are
mitigated at runtime.
This spin lock implementation allows BPF maps to become safer and
remove mechanisms that have fallen short in assuring safety when
nesting programs in arbitrary ways in the same context or across
different contexts.
We run benchmarks that stress locking scalability and perform
comparison against the baseline (qspinlock). For the rqspinlock case,
we replace the default qspinlock with it in the kernel, such that all
spin locks in the kernel use the rqspinlock slow path. As such,
benchmarks that stress kernel spin locks end up exercising rqspinlock.

Pull fwctl subsystem from Jason Gunthorpe:
"fwctl is a new subsystem intended to bring some common rules and order
to the growing pattern of exposing a secure FW interface directly to
userspace.
Unlike existing places like RDMA/DRM/VFIO/uacce that are exposing a
device for datapath operations fwctl is focused on debugging,
configuration and provisioning of the device. It will not have the
necessary features like interrupt delivery to support a datapath.
This concept is similar to the long standing practice in the "HW" RAID
space of having a device specific misc device to manage the RAID
controller FW. fwctl generalizes this notion of a companion debug and
management interface that goes along with a dataplane implemented in
an appropriate subsystem.
There have been three LWN articles written discussing various aspects
of this:
https://lwn.net/Articles/955001/
https://lwn.net/Articles/969383/
https://lwn.net/Articles/990802/
This includes three drivers to launch the subsystem:
- CXL provides a vendor scheme for executing commands and a way to
learn the 'command effects' (ie the security properties) of such
commands. The fwctl driver allows access to these mechanism within
the fwctl security model
- mlx5 is family of networking products, the driver supports all
current Mellanox HW still receiving FW feature updates. This
includes RDMA multiprotocol NICs like ConnectX and the Bluefield
family of Smart NICs.
- AMD/Pensando Distributed Services card is a multi protocol Smart
NIC with a multi PCI function design. fwctl works on the management
PCI function following a 'command effects' model similar to CXL"

In allocate_trace_buffer() the following code:
buf->buffer = ring_buffer_alloc_range(size, rb_flags, 0,
tr->range_addr_start,
tr->range_addr_size,
struct_size(tscratch, entries, 128));
tscratch = ring_buffer_meta_scratch(buf->buffer, &scratch_size);
setup_trace_scratch(tr, tscratch, scratch_size);
Has undefined behavior if ring_buffer_alloc_range() fails because
"scratch_size" is not initialize. If the allocation fails, then
buf->buffer will be NULL. The ring_buffer_meta_scratch() will return
NULL immediately if it is passed a NULL buffer and it will not update
scratch_size. Then setup_trace_scratch() will return immediately if
tscratch is NULL.
Although there's no real issue here, but it is considered undefined
behavior to pass an uninitialized variable to a function as input, and
UBSan may complain about it.
Just initialize scratch_size to zero to make the code defined behavior and
a little more robust.

Make the ring buffer on reserved memory to be freeable. This allows us
to free the trace instance on the reserved memory without changing
cmdline and rebooting. Even if we can not change the kernel cmdline
for security reason, we can release the reserved memory for the ring
buffer as free (available) memory.
For example, boot kernel with reserved memory;

Instead of saving off the text and data pointers and using them to compare
with the current boot's text and data pointers, just save off the KASLR
offset. Then that can be used to figure out how to read the previous boots
buffer.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Add option traceoff_after_boot
In order to debug kernel boot, it sometimes is helpful to enable
tracing via the kernel command line. Unfortunately, by the time the
login prompt appears, the trace is overwritten by the init process
and other user space start up applications.
Adding a "traceoff_after_boot" will disable tracing when the kernel
passes control to init which will allow developers to be able to see
the traces that occurred during boot.
- Clean up the mmflags macros that display the GFP flags in trace
events
The macros to print the GFP flags for trace events had a bit of
duplication. The code was restructured to remove duplication and in
the process it also adds some flags that were missed before.
- Removed some dead code and scripts/draw_functrace.py
draw_functrace.py hasn't worked in years and as nobody complained
about it, remove it.
- Constify struct event_trigger_ops
The event_trigger_ops is just a structure that has function pointers
that are assigned when the variables are created. These variables
should all be constants.
- Other minor clean ups and fixes

Pull latency tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Add some trace events to osnoise and timerlat sample generation
This adds more information to the osnoise and timerlat tracers as
well as allows BPF programs to be attached to these locations to
extract even more data.
- Fix to DECLARE_TRACE_CONDITION() macro
It wasn't used but now will be and it happened to be broken causing
the build to fail.
- Add scheduler specification monitors to runtime verifier (RV)
This is a continuation of Daniel Bristot's work.
RV allows monitors to run and react concurrently. Running the
cumulative model is equivalent to running single components using the
same reactors, with the advantage that it's easier to point out which
specification failed in case of error.
This update introduces nested monitors to RV, in short, the sysfs
monitor folder will contain a monitor named sched, which is nothing
but an empty container for other monitors. Controlling the sched
monitor (enable, disable, set reactors) controls all nested monitors.
The following scheduling monitors are added:
- sco: scheduling context operations
Monitor to ensure sched_set_state happens only in thread context
- tss: task switch while scheduling
Monitor to ensure sched_switch happens only in scheduling context
- snroc: set non runnable on its own context
Monitor to ensure set_state happens only in the respective task's context
- scpd: schedule called with preemption disabled
Monitor to ensure schedule is called with preemption disabled
- snep: schedule does not enable preempt

Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Record function parameters for function and function graph tracers
An option has been added to function tracer (func-args) and the
function graph tracer (funcgraph-args) that when set, the tracers
will record the registers that hold the arguments into each function
event. On reading of the trace, it will use BTF to print those
arguments. Most archs support up to 6 arguments (depending on the
complexity of the arguments) and those are printed.
If a function has more arguments then what was recorded, the output
will end with " ... )".
Example of function graph tracer:
6) | dummy_xmit [dummy](skb = 0x8887c100, dev = 0x872ca000) {
6) | consume_skb(skb = 0x8887c100) {
6) | skb_release_head_state(skb = 0x8887c100) {
6) 0.178 us | sock_wfree(skb = 0x8887c100)
6) 0.627 us | }

Pull tracing / sorttable updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Implement arm64 build time sorting of the mcount location table
When gcc is used to build arm64, the mcount_loc section is all zeros
in the vmlinux elf file. The addresses are stored in the Elf_Rela
location.
To sort at build time, an array is allocated and the addresses are
added to it via the content of the mcount_loc section as well as he
Elf_Rela data. After sorting, the information is put back into the
Elf_Rela which now has the section sorted.
- Make sorting of mcount location table for arm64 work with clang as
well
When clang is used, the mcount_loc section contains the addresses,
unlike the gcc build. An array is still created and the sorting works
for both methods.
- Remove weak functions from the mcount_loc section
Have the sorttable code pass in the data of functions defined via
'nm -S' which shows the functions as well as their sizes. Using this
information the sorttable code can determine if a function in the
mcount_loc section was weak and overridden. If the function is not
found, it is set to be zero. On boot, when the mcount_loc section is
read and the ftrace table is created, if the address in the
mcount_loc is not in the kernel core text then it is removed and not
added to the ftrace_filter_functions (the functions that can be
attached by ftrace callbacks).
- Update and fix the reporting of how much data is used for ftrace
functions
On boot, a report of how many pages were used by the ftrace table as
well as how they were grouped (the table holds a list of sections
that are groups of pages that were able to be allocated). The
removing of the weak functions required the accounting to be updated.

arm64: scripts/sorttable: Implement sorting mcount_loc at boot for arm64
Currently, when a lock class is allocated, nr_unused_locks will be
increased by 1, until it gets used: nr_unused_locks will be decreased by
1 in mark_lock(). However, one scenario is missed: a lock class may be
zapped without even being used once. This could result into a situation
that nr_unused_locks != 0 but no unused lock class is active in the
system, and when `cat /proc/lockdep_stats`, a WARN_ON() will
be triggered in a CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP=y kernel:
[...] DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(debug_atomic_read(nr_unused_locks) != nr_unused)
[...] WARNING: CPU: 41 PID: 1121 at kernel/locking/lockdep_proc.c:283 lockdep_stats_show+0xba9/0xbd0
And as a result, lockdep will be disabled after this.
Therefore, nr_unused_locks needs to be accounted correctly at
zap_class() time.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & protocols:
- Continue Netlink conversions to per-namespace RTNL lock
(IPv4 routing, routing rules, routing next hops, ARP ioctls)
- Continue extending the use of netdev instance locks. As a driver
opt-in protect queue operations and (in due course) ethtool
operations with the instance lock and not RTNL lock.
- Support collecting TCP timestamps (data submitted, sent, acked) in
BPF, allowing for transparent (to the application) and lower
overhead tracking of TCP RPC performance.
- Tweak existing networking Rx zero-copy infra to support zero-copy
Rx via io_uring.
- Optimize MPTCP performance in single subflow mode by 29%.
- Enable GRO on packets which went thru XDP CPU redirect (were queued
for processing on a different CPU). Improving TCP stream
performance up to 2x.
- Improve performance of contended connect() by 200% by searching for
an available 4-tuple under RCU rather than a spin lock. Bring an
additional 229% improvement by tweaking hash distribution.
- Avoid unconditionally touching sk_tsflags on RX, improving
performance under UDP flood by as much as 10%.
- Avoid skb_clone() dance in ping_rcv() to improve performance under
ping flood.
- Avoid FIB lookup in netfilter if socket is available, 20% perf win.
- Rework network device creation (in-kernel) API to more clearly
identify network namespaces and their roles. There are up to 4
namespace roles but we used to have just 2 netns pointer arguments,
interpreted differently based on context.

Pull sysctl updates from Joel Granados:
- Move vm_table members out of kernel/sysctl.c
All vm_table array members have moved to their respective subsystems
leading to the removal of vm_table from kernel/sysctl.c. This
increases modularity by placing the ctl_tables closer to where they
are actually used and at the same time reducing the chances of merge
conflicts in kernel/sysctl.c.
- ctl_table range fixes
Replace the proc_handler function that checks variable ranges in
coredump_sysctls and vdso_table with the one that actually uses the
extra{1,2} pointers as min/max values. This tightens the range of the
values that users can pass into the kernel effectively preventing
{under,over}flows.

Considering that most of the code under security/ has a vested
interest in ensuring that the credentials code is well maintained,
I'm volunteering to look after the credentials code and Serge Hallyn

io_uring: refactor io_uring_allowed()
Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"These are dominated by cpufreq updates which in turn are dominated by
updates related to boost support in the core and drivers and
amd-pstate driver optimizations.
Apart from the above, there are some cpuidle updates including a
rework of the most recent idle intervals handling in the venerable
menu governor that leads to significant improvements in some
performance benchmarks, as the governor is now more likely to predict
a shorter idle duration in some cases, and there are updates of the
core device power management code, mostly related to system suspend
and resume, that should help to avoid potential issues arising when
the drivers of devices depending on one another want to use different
optimizations.
There is also a usual collection of assorted fixes and cleanups,
including removal of some unused code.
Specifics:
- Manage sysfs attributes and boost frequencies efficiently from
cpufreq core to reduce boilerplate code in drivers (Viresh Kumar)
- Minor cleanups to cpufreq drivers (Aaron Kling, Benjamin Schneider,
Dhananjay Ugwekar, Imran Shaik, zuoqian)
- Migrate some cpufreq drivers to using for_each_present_cpu() (Jacky
Bai)
- cpufreq-qcom-hw DT binding fixes (Krzysztof Kozlowski)
- Use str_enable_disable() helper in cpufreq_online() (Lifeng Zheng)
- Optimize the amd-pstate driver to avoid cases where call paths end
up calling the same writes multiple times and needlessly caching
variables through code reorganization, locking overhaul and tracing
adjustments (Mario Limonciello, Dhananjay Ugwekar)
- Make it possible to avoid enabling capacity-aware scheduling (CAS)
in the intel_pstate driver and relocate a check for out-of-band
(OOB) platform handling in it to make it detect OOB before checking
HWP availability (Rafael Wysocki)
- Fix dbs_update() to avoid inadvertent conversions of negative
integer values to unsigned int which causes CPU frequency selection
to be inaccurate in some cases when the "conservative" cpufreq
governor is in use (Jie Zhan)
- Update the handling of the most recent idle intervals in the menu
cpuidle governor to prevent useful information from being discarded
by it in some cases and improve the prediction accuracy (Rafael
Wysocki)
- Make it possible to tell the intel_idle driver to ignore its
built-in table of idle states for the given processor, clean up the
handling of auto-demotion disabling on Baytrail and Cherrytrail
chips in it, and update its MAINTAINERS entry (David Arcari, Artem
Bityutskiy, Rafael Wysocki)
- Make some cpuidle drivers use for_each_present_cpu() instead of
for_each_possible_cpu() during initialization to avoid issues
occurring when nosmp or maxcpus=0 are used (Jacky Bai)
- Clean up the Energy Model handling code somewhat (Rafael Wysocki)
- Use kfree_rcu() to simplify the handling of runtime Energy Model
updates (Li RongQing)
- Add an entry for the Energy Model framework to MAINTAINERS as
properly maintained (Lukasz Luba)
- Address RCU-related sparse warnings in the Energy Model code
(Rafael Wysocki)
- Remove ENERGY_MODEL dependency on SMP and allow it to be selected
when DEVFREQ is set without CPUFREQ so it can be used on a wider
range of systems (Jeson Gao)
- Unify error handling during runtime suspend and runtime resume in
the core to help drivers to implement more consistent runtime PM
error handling (Rafael Wysocki)
- Drop a redundant check from pm_runtime_force_resume() and rearrange
documentation related to __pm_runtime_disable() (Rafael Wysocki)
- Rework the handling of the "smart suspend" driver flag in the PM
core to avoid issues hat may occur when drivers using it depend on
some other drivers and clean up the related PM core code (Rafael
Wysocki, Colin Ian King)
- Fix the handling of devices with the power.direct_complete flag set
if device_suspend() returns an error for at least one device to
avoid situations in which some of them may not be resumed (Rafael
Wysocki)
- Use mutex_trylock() in hibernate_compressor_param_set() to avoid a
possible deadlock that may occur if the "compressor" hibernation
module parameter is accessed during the registration of a new
ieee80211 device (Lizhi Xu)
- Suppress sleeping parent warning in device_pm_add() in the case
when new children are added under a device with the
power.direct_complete set after it has been processed by
device_resume() (Xu Yang)
- Remove needless return in three void functions related to system
wakeup (Zijun Hu)
- Replace deprecated kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page() in the
hibernation core code (David Reaver)
- Remove unused helper functions related to system sleep (David Alan
Gilbert)
- Clean up s2idle_enter() so it does not lock and unlock CPU offline
in vain and update comments in it (Ulf Hansson)
- Clean up broken white space in dpm_wait_for_children() (Geert
Uytterhoeven)
- Update the cpupower utility to fix lib version-ing in it and memory
leaks in error legs, remove hard-coded values, and implement CPU
physical core querying (Thomas Renninger, John B. Wyatt IV, Shuah
Khan, Yiwei Lin, Zhongqiu Han)"

The printk format for synth event uses "%.*s" to print string fields,
but then only passes the pointer part as var arg.
Replace %.*s with %s as the C string is guaranteed to be null-terminated.
The output in print fmt should never have been updated as __get_str()
handles the string limit because it can access the length of the string in
the string meta data that is saved in the ring buffer.

If track_pfn_copy() fails, we already added the dst VMA to the maple
tree. As fork() fails, we'll cleanup the maple tree, and stumble over
the dst VMA for which we neither performed any reservation nor copied
any page tables.
Consequently untrack_pfn() will see VM_PAT and try obtaining the
PAT information from the page table -- which fails because the page
table was not copied.
The easiest fix would be to simply clear the VM_PAT flag of the dst VMA
if track_pfn_copy() fails. However, the whole thing is about "simply"
clearing the VM_PAT flag is shaky as well: if we passed track_pfn_copy()
and performed a reservation, but copying the page tables fails, we'll
simply clear the VM_PAT flag, not properly undoing the reservation ...
which is also wrong.
So let's fix it properly: set the VM_PAT flag only if the reservation
succeeded (leaving it clear initially), and undo the reservation if
anything goes wrong while copying the page tables: clearing the VM_PAT
flag after undoing the reservation.
Note that any copied page table entries will get zapped when the VMA will
get removed later, after copy_page_range() succeeded; as VM_PAT is not set
then, we won't try cleaning VM_PAT up once more and untrack_pfn() will be
happy. Note that leaving these page tables in place without a reservation
is not a problem, as we are aborting fork(); this process will never run.
A reproducer can trigger this usually at the first try:

Likely this case was missed in:
d155df53f3 ("x86/mm/pat: clear VM_PAT if copy_p4d_range failed")
... and instead of undoing the reservation we simply cleared the VM_PAT flag.
Keep the documentation of these functions in include/linux/pgtable.h,
one place is more than sufficient -- we should clean that up for the other
functions like track_pfn_remap/untrack_pfn separately.
