[PATCH 0/1] selftests: net: use BASH for bareudp testing

by Po-Hsu Lin

The bareudp.sh script uses /bin/sh and it will load another lib.sh BASH script at the very beginning. But on some operating systems like Ubuntu, /bin/sh is actually pointed to DASH, thus it will try to run BASH commands with DASH and consequently leads to syntax issues. This patch fixes syntax failures on systems where /bin/sh is not BASH by explicitily using BASH for bareudp.sh.

[PATCH v2] selftest: net: fix socklen_t type mismatch in sctp_collision test

by Ankit Khushwaha

Socket APIs like recvfrom(), accept(), and getsockname() expect socklen_t* arg, but tests were using int variables. This causes -Wpointer-sign warnings on platforms where socklen_t is unsigned. Change the variable type from int to socklen_t to resolve the warning and ensure type safety across platforms. warning fixed: sctp_collision.c:62:70: warning: passing 'int *' to parameter of type 'socklen_t *' (aka 'unsigned int *') converts between pointers to integer types with different sign [-Wpointer-sign] 62 | ret = recvfrom(sd, buf, sizeof(buf), 0, (struct sockaddr *)&daddr, &len); | ^~~~ /usr/include/sys/socket.h:165:27: note: passing argument to parameter '__addr_len' here 165 | socklen_t *__restrict __addr_len); | ^ Reviewed-by: Muhammad Usama Anjum <usama.anjum(a)collabora.com> Signed-off-by: Ankit Khushwaha <ankitkhushwaha.linux(a)gmail.com> --- tools/testing/selftests/net/netfilter/sctp_collision.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/net/netfilter/sctp_collision.c b/tools/testing/selftests/net/netfilter/sctp_collision.c index 21bb1cfd8a85..91df996367e9 100644 --- a/tools/testing/selftests/net/netfilter/sctp_collision.c +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/net/netfilter/sctp_collision.c @@ -9,7 +9,8 @@ int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { struct sockaddr_in saddr = {}, daddr = {}; - int sd, ret, len = sizeof(daddr); + socklen_t len = sizeof(daddr); struct timeval tv = {25, 0}; char buf[] = "hello"; + int sd, ret; -- 2.51.0

[PATCH v3 0/3] KHO: kfence + KHO memory corruption fix

by Pasha Tatashin

This series fixes a memory corruption bug in KHO that occurs when KFENCE is enabled. The root cause is that KHO metadata, allocated via kzalloc(), can be randomly serviced by kfence_alloc(). When a kernel boots via KHO, the early memblock allocator is restricted to a "scratch area". This forces the KFENCE pool to be allocated within this scratch area, creating a conflict. If KHO metadata is subsequently placed in this pool, it gets corrupted during the next kexec operation. Patch 1/3 introduces a debug-only feature (CONFIG_KEXEC_HANDOVER_DEBUG) that adds checks to detect and fail any operation that attempts to place KHO metadata or preserved memory within the scratch area. This serves as a validation and diagnostic tool to confirm the problem without affecting production builds. Patch 2/3 Increases bitmap to PAGE_SIZE, so buddy allocator can be used. Patch 3/3 Provides the fix by modifying KHO to allocate its metadata directly from the buddy allocator instead of slab. This bypasses the KFENCE interception entirely.

[RFC bpf-next 0/2] Print map ID on successful creation

by Harshit Mogalapalli

Hi all, I have tried looking at an issue from the bpftool repository: https://github.com/libbpf/bpftool/issues/121 and this RFC tries to add that enhancement. Summary: Currently when a map creation is successful there is no message on the terminal, printing IDs on successful creation of maps can help notify the user and can be used in CI/CD. The first patch adds the logic for printing and the second patch adds a simple selftest for the same. The github issue is not fully solved with these two patches, as there are other bpf objects that might need similar additions. Would appreciate any inputs on this. Thank you very much.

[PATCH v2 0/3] arm64/sme: Support disabling streaming mode via ptrace on SME only systems

by Mark Brown

Currently it is not possible to disable streaming mode via ptrace on SME only systems, the interface for doing this is to write via NT_ARM_SVE but such writes will be rejected on a system without SVE support. Enable this functionality by allowing userspace to write SVE_PT_REGS_FPSIMD format data via NT_ARM_SVE with the vector length set to 0 on SME only systems. Such writes currently error since we require that a vector length is specified which should minimise the risk that existing software is relying on current behaviour. Reads are not supported since I am not aware of any use case for this and there is some risk that an existing userspace application may be confused if it reads NT_ARM_SVE on a system without SVE. Existing kernels will return FPSIMD formatted register state from NT_ARM_SVE if full SVE state is not stored, for example if the task has not used SVE. Returning a vector length of 0 would create a risk that software could try to do things like allocate space for register state with zero sizes, while returning a vector length of 128 bits would look like SVE is supported. It seems safer to just not make the changes to add read support. It remains possible for userspace to detect a SME only system via the ptrace interface only since reads of NT_ARM_SSVE and NT_ARM_ZA will suceed while reads of NT_ARM_SVE will fail. Read/write access to the FPSIMD registers in non-streaming mode is available via REGSET_FPR. The aim is is to make a minimally invasive change, no operation that would previously have succeeded will be affected, and we use a previously defined interface in new circumstances rather than define completely new ABI.

[PATCH v3 00/12] Start porting UML to nolibc

by Benjamin Berg

From: Benjamin Berg <benjamin.berg(a)intel.com> This patchset is an attempt to start a nolibc port of UML. The goal is to port UML to use nolibc in smaller chunks to make the switch more manageable. Using nolibc has the advantage that it is a smaller runtime and it allows us to be in full control about all memory mappings that are done. Another libc on the other hand might map memory unaware of UML, causing collisions with the UML memory layout. Such mappings could even happen before UML has fully initialized (e.g. rseq being mapped into the physical or vmalloc memory areas). There are three parts to this patchset: * Two patches to use tools/include headers instead of kernel headers for userspace files. * A few nolibc fixes and a new NOLIBC_NO_RUNTIME compile flag for it * Finally nolibc build support for UML and switching two files while adding the appropriate support in nolibc itself. v1 of this patchset was https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250915071115.1429196-1-benjamin@sipsolutions.… v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250919153420.727385-1-benjamin@sipsolutions.n… Changes in v3: - sys_ptrace is now not a varadic function - improve printf %m implementation - keep perror as function available with NOLIBC_IGNORE_ERRNO - change syscall guard and fix i386 build Changes in v2: - add sys/uio.h and sys/ptrace.h to nolibc - Use NOLIBC_NO_RUNTIME to disable nolibc startup code - Fix out-of-tree build - various small improvements and cleanups Benjamin Benjamin Berg (12): tools compiler.h: fix __used definition um: use tools/include for user files tools/nolibc/stdio: let perror work when NOLIBC_IGNORE_ERRNO is set tools/nolibc/dirent: avoid errno in readdir_r tools/nolibc: implement %m if errno is not defined tools/nolibc: use __fallthrough__ rather than fallthrough tools/nolibc: add option to disable runtime um: add infrastructure to build files using nolibc um: use nolibc for the --showconfig implementation tools/nolibc: add uio.h with readv and writev tools/nolibc: add ptrace support um: switch ptrace FP register access to nolibc arch/um/Makefile | 38 ++++++++++++--- arch/um/include/shared/init.h | 2 +- arch/um/include/shared/os.h | 2 + arch/um/include/shared/user.h | 6 --- arch/um/kernel/Makefile | 2 +- arch/um/kernel/skas/stub.c | 1 + arch/um/kernel/skas/stub_exe.c | 4 +- arch/um/os-Linux/skas/process.c | 6 +-- arch/um/os-Linux/start_up.c | 4 +- arch/um/scripts/Makefile.rules | 10 +++- arch/x86/um/Makefile | 6 ++- arch/x86/um/os-Linux/Makefile | 5 +- arch/x86/um/os-Linux/registers.c | 20 ++------ arch/x86/um/user-offsets.c | 1 - tools/include/linux/compiler.h | 2 +- tools/include/nolibc/Makefile | 2 + tools/include/nolibc/arch-arm.h | 2 + tools/include/nolibc/arch-arm64.h | 2 + tools/include/nolibc/arch-loongarch.h | 2 + tools/include/nolibc/arch-m68k.h | 2 + tools/include/nolibc/arch-mips.h | 2 + tools/include/nolibc/arch-powerpc.h | 2 + tools/include/nolibc/arch-riscv.h | 2 + tools/include/nolibc/arch-s390.h | 2 + tools/include/nolibc/arch-sh.h | 2 + tools/include/nolibc/arch-sparc.h | 2 + tools/include/nolibc/arch-x86.h | 4 ++ tools/include/nolibc/compiler.h | 4 +- tools/include/nolibc/crt.h | 3 ++ tools/include/nolibc/dirent.h | 6 +-- tools/include/nolibc/nolibc.h | 2 + tools/include/nolibc/stackprotector.h | 2 + tools/include/nolibc/stdio.h | 10 +++- tools/include/nolibc/stdlib.h | 2 + tools/include/nolibc/sys.h | 3 +- tools/include/nolibc/sys/auxv.h | 3 ++ tools/include/nolibc/sys/ptrace.h | 44 ++++++++++++++++++ tools/include/nolibc/sys/uio.h | 49 ++++++++++++++++++++ tools/testing/selftests/nolibc/nolibc-test.c | 11 +++++ 39 files changed, 221 insertions(+), 53 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tools/include/nolibc/sys/ptrace.h create mode 100644 tools/include/nolibc/sys/uio.h -- 2.51.0
