2025-11-04bpf: Convert bpf_sock_addr_kern "uaddr" to sockaddr_unsizedKees Cook
Change struct bpf_sock_addr_kern to use sockaddr_unsized for the "uaddr" field instead of sockaddr. This improves type safety in the BPF cgroup socket address filtering code. The casting in __cgroup_bpf_run_filter_sock_addr() is updated to match the new type, removing an unnecessary cast in the initialization and updating the conditional assignment to use the appropriate sockaddr_unsized cast. Additionally rename the "unspec" variable to "storage" to better align with its usage. No binary changes expected.

2025-11-04Merge branch 'topic/func-profiler-offset' of ↵Steven Rostedt
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mhiramat/linux into trace/trace/core Updates to the function profiler adds new options to tracefs. The options are currently defined by an enum as flags. The added options brings the number of options over 32, which means they can no longer be held in a 32 bit enum. The TRACE_ITER_* flags are converted to a macro TRACE_ITER(*) to allow the creation of options to still be done by macros. This change is intrusive, as it affects all TRACE_ITER* options throughout the trace code. Merge the branch that added these options and converted the TRACE_ITER_* enum into a TRACE_ITER(*) macro, to allow the topic branches to still be developed without conflict.

2025-11-04tracing: Add an option to show symbols in _text+offset for function profilerMasami Hiramatsu (Google)
Function profiler shows the hit count of each function using its symbol name. However, there are some same-name local symbols, which we can not distinguish. To solve this issue, this introduces an option to show the symbols in "_text+OFFSET" format. This can avoid exposing the random shift of KASLR. The functions in modules are shown as "MODNAME+OFFSET" where the offset is from ".text". E.g. for the kernel text symbols, specify vmlinux and the output to addr2line, you can find the actual function and source info; $ addr2line -fie vmlinux _text+3078208 __balance_callbacks kernel/sched/core.c:5064 for modules, specify the module file and .text+OFFSET; $ addr2line -fie samples/trace_events/trace-events-sample.ko .text+8224 do_simple_thread_func samples/trace_events/trace-events-sample.c:23 Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/176187878064.994619.8878296550240416558.stgit@devnote2/ Suggested-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

2025-11-04rseq: Switch to TIF_RSEQ if supportedThomas Gleixner
TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME is a multiplexing TIF bit, which is suboptimal especially with the RSEQ fast path depending on it, but not really handling it. Define a separate TIF_RSEQ in the generic TIF space and enable the full separation of fast and slow path for architectures which utilize that. That avoids the hassle with invocations of resume_user_mode_work() from hypervisors, which clear TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME. It makes the therefore required re-evaluation at the end of vcpu_run() a NOOP on architectures which utilize the generic TIF space and have a separate TIF_RSEQ. The hypervisor TIF handling does not include the separate TIF_RSEQ as there is no point in doing so. The guest does neither know nor care about the VMM host applications RSEQ state. That state is only relevant when the ioctl() returns to user space. The fastpath implementation still utilizes TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME for failure handling, but this only happens within exit_to_user_mode_loop(), so arguably the hypervisor ioctl() code is long done when this happens.

2025-11-04rseq: Switch to fast path processing on exit to userThomas Gleixner
Now that all bits and pieces are in place, hook the RSEQ handling fast path function into exit_to_user_mode_prepare() after the TIF work bits have been handled. If case of fast path failure, TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME has been raised and the caller needs to take another turn through the TIF handling slow path. This only works for architectures which use the generic entry code. Architectures who still have their own incomplete hacks are not supported and won't be. This results in the following improvements: Kernel build Before After Reduction exit to user 80692981 80514451 signal checks: 32581 121 99% slowpath runs: 1201408 1.49% 198 0.00% 100% fastpath runs: 675941 0.84% N/A id updates: 1233989 1.53% 50541 0.06% 96% cs checks: 1125366 1.39% 0 0.00% 100% cs cleared: 1125366 100% 0 100% cs fixup: 0 0% 0 RSEQ selftests Before After Reduction exit to user: 386281778 387373750 signal checks: 35661203 0 100% slowpath runs: 140542396 36.38% 100 0.00% 100% fastpath runs: 9509789 2.51% N/A id updates: 176203599 45.62% 9087994 2.35% 95% cs checks: 175587856 45.46% 4728394 1.22% 98% cs cleared: 172359544 98.16% 1319307 27.90% 99% cs fixup: 3228312 1.84% 3409087 72.10% The 'cs cleared' and 'cs fixup' percentages are not relative to the exit to user invocations, they are relative to the actual 'cs check' invocations. While some of this could have been avoided in the original code, like the obvious clearing of CS when it's already clear, the main problem of going through TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME cannot be solved. In some workloads the RSEQ notify handler is invoked more than once before going out to user space. Doing this once when everything has stabilized is the only solution to avoid this. The initial attempt to completely decouple it from the TIF work turned out to be suboptimal for workloads, which do a lot of quick and short system calls. Even if the fast path decision is only 4 instructions (including a conditional branch), this adds up quickly and becomes measurable when the rate for actually having to handle rseq is in the low single digit percentage range of user/kernel transitions.

2025-11-04rseq: Implement fast path for exit to userThomas Gleixner
Implement the actual logic for handling RSEQ updates in a fast path after handling the TIF work and at the point where the task is actually returning to user space. This is the right point to do that because at this point the CPU and the MM CID are stable and cannot longer change due to yet another reschedule. That happens when the task is handling it via TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME in resume_user_mode_work(), which is invoked from the exit to user mode work loop. The function is invoked after the TIF work is handled and runs with interrupts disabled, which means it cannot resolve page faults. It therefore disables page faults and in case the access to the user space memory faults, it: - notes the fail in the event struct - raises TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME - returns false to the caller The caller has to go back to the TIF work, which runs with interrupts enabled and therefore can resolve the page faults. This happens mostly on fork() when the memory is marked COW. If the user memory inspection finds invalid data, the function returns false as well and sets the fatal flag in the event struct along with TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME. The slow path notify handler has to evaluate that flag and terminate the task with SIGSEGV as documented. The initial decision to invoke any of this is based on one flags in the event struct: @sched_switch. The decision is in pseudo ASM: load tsk::event::sched_switch jnz inspect_user_space mov $0, tsk::event::events ... leave So for the common case where the task was not scheduled out, this really boils down to three instructions before going out if the compiler is not completely stupid (and yes, some of them are). If the condition is true, then it checks, whether CPU ID or MM CID have changed. If so, then the CPU/MM IDs have to be updated and are thereby cached for the next round. The update unconditionally retrieves the user space critical section address to spare another user*begin/end() pair. If that's not zero and tsk::event::user_irq is set, then the critical section is analyzed and acted upon. If either zero or the entry came via syscall the critical section analysis is skipped. If the comparison is false then the critical section has to be analyzed because the event flag is then only true when entry from user was by interrupt. This is provided without the actual hookup to let reviewers focus on the implementation details. The hookup happens in the next step. Note: As with quite some other optimizations this depends on the generic entry infrastructure and is not enabled to be sucked into random architecture implementations.

2025-11-04rseq: Optimize event settingThomas Gleixner
After removing the various condition bits earlier it turns out that one extra information is needed to avoid setting event::sched_switch and TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME unconditionally on every context switch. The update of the RSEQ user space memory is only required, when either the task was interrupted in user space and schedules or the CPU or MM CID changes in schedule() independent of the entry mode Right now only the interrupt from user information is available. Add an event flag, which is set when the CPU or MM CID or both change. Evaluate this event in the scheduler to decide whether the sched_switch event and the TIF bit need to be set. It's an extra conditional in context_switch(), but the downside of unconditionally handling RSEQ after a context switch to user is way more significant. The utilized boolean logic minimizes this to a single conditional branch.

2025-11-04rseq: Rework the TIF_NOTIFY handlerThomas Gleixner
Replace the whole logic with a new implementation, which is shared with signal delivery and the upcoming exit fast path. Contrary to the original implementation, this ignores invocations from KVM/IO-uring, which invoke resume_user_mode_work() with the @regs argument set to NULL. The original implementation updated the CPU/Node/MM CID fields, but that was just a side effect, which was addressing the problem that this invocation cleared TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME, which in turn could cause an update on return to user space to be lost. This problem has been addressed differently, so that it's not longer required to do that update before entering the guest. That might be considered a user visible change, when the hosts thread TLS memory is mapped into the guest, but as this was never intentionally supported, this abuse of kernel internal implementation details is not considered an ABI break.

2025-11-04rseq: Separate the signal delivery pathThomas Gleixner
Completely separate the signal delivery path from the notify handler as they have different semantics versus the event handling. The signal delivery only needs to ensure that the interrupted user context was not in a critical section or the section is aborted before it switches to the signal frame context. The signal frame context does not have the original instruction pointer anymore, so that can't be handled on exit to user space. No point in updating the CPU/CID ids as they might change again before the task returns to user space for real. The fast path optimization, which checks for the 'entry from user via interrupt' condition is only available for architectures which use the generic entry code.

It does all operations in one scoped_user_rw_access() section and retrieves also the critical section member (rseq::cs_rseq) from user space to avoid another user..begin/end() pair. This is in preparation for optimizing the fast path to avoid extra work when not required. On rseq registration set the CPU ID fields to RSEQ_CPU_ID_UNINITIALIZED and node and MM CID to zero. That's the same as the kernel internal reset values. That makes the debug validation in the exit code work correctly on the first exit to user space.

Provide a straight forward implementation to check for and eventually clear/fixup critical sections in user space. The non-debug version does only the minimal sanity checks and aims for efficiency. There are two attack vectors, which are checked for: 1) An abort IP which is in the kernel address space. That would cause at least x86 to return to kernel space via IRET. 2) A rogue critical section descriptor with an abort IP pointing to some arbitrary address, which is not preceded by the RSEQ signature. If the section descriptors are invalid then the resulting misbehaviour of the user space application is not the kernels problem. The kernel provides a run-time switchable debug slow path, which implements the full zoo of checks including termination of the task when one of the gazillion conditions is not met.

2025-11-04rseq: Introduce struct rseq_dataThomas Gleixner
In preparation for a major rewrite of this code, provide a data structure for rseq management. Put all the rseq related data into it (except for the debug part), which allows to simplify fork/execve by using memset() and memcpy() instead of adding new fields to initialize over and over. Create a storage struct for event management as well and put the sched_switch event and a indicator for RSEQ on a task into it as a start. That uses a union, which allows to mask and clear the whole lot efficiently. The indicators are explicitly not a bit field. Bit fields generate abysmal code. The boolean members are defined as u8 as that actually guarantees that it fits. There seem to be strange architecture ABIs which need more than 8 bits for a boolean. The has_rseq member is redundant vs. task::rseq, but it turns out that boolean operations and quick checks on the union generate better code than fiddling with separate entities and data types.

Hypervisors invoke resume_user_mode_work() before entering the guest, which clears TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME. The @regs argument is NULL as there is no user space context available to them, so the rseq notify handler skips inspecting the critical section, but updates the CPU/MM CID values unconditionally so that the eventual pending rseq event is not lost on the way to user space. This is a pointless exercise as the task might be rescheduled before actually returning to user space and it creates unnecessary work in the vcpu_run() loops. It's way more efficient to ignore that invocation based on @regs == NULL and let the hypervisors re-raise TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME after returning from the vcpu_run() loop before returning from the ioctl(). This ensures that a pending RSEQ update is not lost and the IDs are updated before returning to user space. Once the RSEQ handling is decoupled from TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME, this turns into a NOOP.

2025-11-04rseq: Simplify the event notificationThomas Gleixner
Since commit 0190e4198e47 ("rseq: Deprecate RSEQ_CS_FLAG_NO_RESTART_ON_* flags") the bits in task::rseq_event_mask are meaningless and just extra work in terms of setting them individually. Aside of that the only relevant point where an event has to be raised is context switch. Neither the CPU nor MM CID can change without going through a context switch. Collapse them all into a single boolean which simplifies the code a lot and remove the pointless invocations which have been sprinkled all over the place for no value.

2025-11-04rseq: Avoid pointless evaluation in __rseq_notify_resume()Thomas Gleixner
The RSEQ critical section mechanism only clears the event mask when a critical section is registered, otherwise it is stale and collects bits. That means once a critical section is installed the first invocation of that code when TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME is set will abort the critical section, even when the TIF bit was not raised by the rseq preempt/migrate/signal helpers. This also has a performance implication because TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME is a multiplexing TIF bit, which is utilized by quite some infrastructure. That means every invocation of __rseq_notify_resume() goes unconditionally through the heavy lifting of user space access and consistency checks even if there is no reason to do so. Keeping the stale event mask around when exiting to user space also prevents it from being utilized by the upcoming time slice extension mechanism. Avoid this by reading and clearing the event mask before doing the user space critical section access with interrupts or preemption disabled, which ensures that the read and clear operation is CPU local atomic versus scheduling and the membarrier IPI. This is correct as after re-enabling interrupts/preemption any relevant event will set the bit again and raise TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME, which makes the user space exit code take another round of TIF bit clearing. If the event mask was non-zero, invoke the slow path. On debug kernels the slow path is invoked unconditionally and the result of the event mask evaluation is handed in. Add a exit path check after the TIF bit loop, which validates on debug kernels that the event mask is zero before exiting to user space. While at it reword the convoluted comment why the pt_regs pointer can be NULL under certain circumstances.

2025-11-03bpf: Skip bounds adjustment for conditional jumps on same scalar registerKaFai Wan
When conditional jumps are performed on the same scalar register (e.g., r0 <= r0, r0 > r0, r0 < r0), the BPF verifier incorrectly attempts to adjust the register's min/max bounds. This leads to invalid range bounds and triggers a BUG warning. The problematic BPF program: 0: call bpf_get_prandom_u32 1: w8 = 0x80000000 2: r0 &= r8 3: if r0 > r0 goto <exit> The instruction 3 triggers kernel warning: 3: if r0 > r0 goto <exit> true_reg1: range bounds violation u64=[0x1, 0x0] s64=[0x1, 0x0] u32=[0x1, 0x0] s32=[0x1, 0x0] var_off=(0x0, 0x0) true_reg2: const tnum out of sync with range bounds u64=[0x0, 0xffffffffffffffff] s64=[0x8000000000000000, 0x7fffffffffffffff] var_off=(0x0, 0x0) Comparing a register with itself should not change its bounds and for most comparison operations, comparing a register with itself has a known result (e.g., r0 == r0 is always true, r0 < r0 is always false). Fix this by: 1. Enhance is_scalar_branch_taken() to properly handle branch direction computation for same register comparisons across all BPF jump operations 2. Adds early return in reg_set_min_max() to avoid bounds adjustment for unknown branch directions (e.g., BPF_JSET) on the same register The fix ensures that unnecessary bounds adjustments are skipped, preventing the verifier bug while maintaining correct branch direction analysis.

2025-11-03ftrace: bpf: Fix IPMODIFY + DIRECT in modify_ftrace_direct()Song Liu
ftrace_hash_ipmodify_enable() checks IPMODIFY and DIRECT ftrace_ops on the same kernel function. When needed, ftrace_hash_ipmodify_enable() calls ops->ops_func() to prepare the direct ftrace (BPF trampoline) to share the same function as the IPMODIFY ftrace (livepatch). ftrace_hash_ipmodify_enable() is called in register_ftrace_direct() path, but not called in modify_ftrace_direct() path. As a result, the following operations will break livepatch: 1. Load livepatch to a kernel function; 2. Attach fentry program to the kernel function; 3. Attach fexit program to the kernel function. After 3, the kernel function being used will not be the livepatched version, but the original version. Fix this by adding __ftrace_hash_update_ipmodify() to __modify_ftrace_direct() and adjust some logic around the call.

2025-11-03ftrace: Fix BPF fexit with livepatchSong Liu
When livepatch is attached to the same function as bpf trampoline with a fexit program, bpf trampoline code calls register_ftrace_direct() twice. The first time will fail with -EAGAIN, and the second time it will succeed. This requires register_ftrace_direct() to unregister the address on the first attempt. Otherwise, the bpf trampoline cannot attach. Here is an easy way to reproduce this issue: insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-sample.ko bpftrace -e 'fexit:cmdline_proc_show {}' ERROR: Unable to attach probe: fexit:vmlinux:cmdline_proc_show... Fix this by cleaning up the hash when register_ftrace_function_nolock hits errors. Also, move the code that resets ops->func and ops->trampoline to the error path of register_ftrace_direct(); and add a helper function reset_direct() in register_ftrace_direct() and unregister_ftrace_direct().

2025-11-03sched_ext: Fix cgroup exit ordering by moving sched_ext_free() to ↵Tejun Heo
finish_task_switch() sched_ext_free() was called from __put_task_struct() when the last reference to the task is dropped, which could be long after the task has finished running. This causes cgroup-related problems: - ops.init_task() can be called on a cgroup which didn't get ops.cgroup_init()'d during scheduler load, because the cgroup might be destroyed/unlinked while the zombie or dead task is still lingering on the scx_tasks list. - ops.cgroup_exit() could be called before ops.exit_task() is called on all member tasks, leading to incorrect exit ordering. Fix by moving it to finish_task_switch() to be called right after the final context switch away from the dying task, matching when sched_class->task_dead() is called. Rename it to sched_ext_dead() to match the new calling context. By calling sched_ext_dead() before cgroup_task_dead(), we ensure that: - Tasks visible on scx_tasks list have valid cgroups during scheduler load, as cgroup_mutex prevents cgroup destruction while the task is still linked. - All member tasks have ops.exit_task() called and are removed from scx_tasks before the cgroup can be destroyed and trigger ops.cgroup_exit(). This fix is made possible by the cgroup_task_dead() split in the previous patch. This also makes more sense resource-wise as there's no point in keeping scheduler side resources around for dead tasks.

2025-11-03cgroup: Defer task cgroup unlink until after the task is done switching outTejun Heo
When a task exits, css_set_move_task(tsk, cset, NULL, false) unlinks the task from its cgroup. From the cgroup's perspective, the task is now gone. If this makes the cgroup empty, it can be removed, triggering ->css_offline() callbacks that notify controllers the cgroup is going offline resource-wise. However, the exiting task can still run, perform memory operations, and schedule until the final context switch in finish_task_switch(). This creates a confusing situation where controllers are told a cgroup is offline while resource activities are still happening in it. While this hasn't broken existing controllers, it has caused direct confusion for sched_ext schedulers. Split cgroup_task_exit() into two functions. cgroup_task_exit() now only calls the subsystem exit callbacks and continues to be called from do_exit(). The css_set cleanup is moved to the new cgroup_task_dead() which is called from finish_task_switch() after the final context switch, so that the cgroup only appears empty after the task is truly done running. This also reorders operations so that subsys->exit() is now called before unlinking from the cgroup, which shouldn't break anything.

2025-11-03cgroup: Move dying_tasks cleanup from cgroup_task_release() to ↵Tejun Heo
cgroup_task_free() Currently, cgroup_task_exit() adds thread group leaders with live member threads to their css_set's dying_tasks list (so cgroup.procs iteration can still see the leader), and cgroup_task_release() later removes them with list_del_init(&task->cg_list). An upcoming patch will defer the dying_tasks list addition, moving it from cgroup_task_exit() (called from do_exit()) to a new function called from finish_task_switch(). However, release_task() (which calls cgroup_task_release()) can run either before or after finish_task_switch(), creating a race where cgroup_task_release() might try to remove the task from dying_tasks before or while it's being added. Move the list_del_init() from cgroup_task_release() to cgroup_task_free() to fix this race. cgroup_task_free() runs from __put_task_struct(), which is always after both paths, making the cleanup safe.

2025-11-03nstree: add listns()Christian Brauner
Add a new listns() system call that allows userspace to iterate through namespaces in the system. This provides a programmatic interface to discover and inspect namespaces, enhancing existing namespace apis. Currently, there is no direct way for userspace to enumerate namespaces in the system. Applications must resort to scanning /proc/<pid>/ns/ across all processes, which is: 1. Inefficient - requires iterating over all processes 2. Incomplete - misses inactive namespaces that aren't attached to any running process but are kept alive by file descriptors, bind mounts, or parent namespace references 3. Permission-heavy - requires access to /proc for many processes 4. No ordering or ownership. 5. No filtering per namespace type: Must always iterate and check all namespaces. The list goes on. The listns() system call solves these problems by providing direct kernel-level enumeration of namespaces. It is similar to listmount() but obviously tailored to namespaces. /* * @req: Pointer to struct ns_id_req specifying search parameters * @ns_ids: User buffer to receive namespace IDs * @nr_ns_ids: Size of ns_ids buffer (maximum number of IDs to return) * @flags: Reserved for future use (must be 0) */ ssize_t listns(const struct ns_id_req *req, u64 *ns_ids, size_t nr_ns_ids, unsigned int flags);
