[PATCH 0/2] HID: multitouch: fix sticky-fingers quirks

by Benjamin Tissoires

According to Peter, we've had for a very long time an issue on some mutltiouch touchpads where the fingers were stuck in a scrolling mode, or 3 fingers gesture mode. I was unable to debug it because it was rather hard to reproduce. Recently, some people raised the issue again on libinput, and this time added a recording of the actual bug. It turns out that the sticky finger quirk that was introduced back in 2017 was only checking the last report, and that those missing releases also happen when moving from 3 to 1 finger (only 1 is released instead of 2). This solution seems to me to be the most sensible, because we could also add the NSMU quirk to win8 multitouch touchpads, but this would involve a lot more computations at each report for rather annoying corner cases.

[PATCH] selftests: livepatch: use canonical ftrace path

by Fushuai Wang

Since v4.1 kernel, a new interface for ftrace called "tracefs" was introduced, which is usually mounted in /sys/kernel/tracing. Therefore, tracing files can now be accessed via either the legacy path /sys/kernel/debug/tracing or the newer path /sys/kernel/tracing.

[PATCH v22 0/8] fork: Support shadow stacks in clone3()

by Mark Brown

At this point I think everyone in the on the kernel side is happy with this but there were some questions from the glibc side about the value of controlling the shadow stack placement and size, especially with the current inability to reuse the shadow stack for an exited thread. With support for reuse it would be possible to have a cache of shadow stacks as is currently supported for the normal stack. Since the discussion petered out I'm resending this in order to give people something work with while prototyping. It should be possible to prototype any potential kernel features to help build out shadow stack support in userspace by enabling shadow stack writes, as suggested by Rick Edgecombe this may end up being required anyway for supporting more exotic scenarios. On all current architectures with the feature writes to shadow stack require specific instructions so there are still security benefits even with writes enabled. I did send a change implementing a feature writing a token on thread exit to allow reuse: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250921-arm64-gcs-exit-token-v1-0-45cf64e648d5@k… but wasn't planning to refresh it without some indication from the userspace side that that'd be useful. Non-process cover letter: The kernel has added support for shadow stacks, currently x86 only using their CET feature but both arm64 and RISC-V have equivalent features (GCS and Zicfiss respectively), I am actively working on GCS[1]. With shadow stacks the hardware maintains an additional stack containing only the return addresses for branch instructions which is not generally writeable by userspace and ensures that any returns are to the recorded addresses. This provides some protection against ROP attacks and making it easier to collect call stacks. These shadow stacks are allocated in the address space of the userspace process. Our API for shadow stacks does not currently offer userspace any flexiblity for managing the allocation of shadow stacks for newly created threads, instead the kernel allocates a new shadow stack with the same size as the normal stack whenever a thread is created with the feature enabled. The stacks allocated in this way are freed by the kernel when the thread exits or shadow stacks are disabled for the thread. This lack of flexibility and control isn't ideal, in the vast majority of cases the shadow stack will be over allocated and the implicit allocation and deallocation is not consistent with other interfaces. As far as I can tell the interface is done in this manner mainly because the shadow stack patches were in development since before clone3() was implemented. Since clone3() is readily extensible let's add support for specifying a shadow stack when creating a new thread or process, keeping the current implicit allocation behaviour if one is not specified either with clone3() or through the use of clone(). The user must provide a shadow stack pointer, this must point to memory mapped for use as a shadow stackby map_shadow_stack() with an architecture specified shadow stack token at the top of the stack. Yuri Khrustalev has raised questions from the libc side regarding discoverability of extended clone3() structure sizes[2], this seems like a general issue with clone3(). There was a suggestion to add a hwcap on arm64 which isn't ideal but is doable there, though architecture specific mechanisms would also be needed for x86 (and RISC-V if it's support gets merged before this does). The idea has, however, had strong pushback from the architecture maintainers and it is possible to detect support for this in clone3() by attempting a call with a misaligned shadow stack pointer specified so no hwcap has been added.

[PATCH][v3] hung_task: Panic after fixed number of hung tasks

by lirongqing

From: Li RongQing <lirongqing(a)baidu.com> Currently, when 'hung_task_panic' is enabled, the kernel panics immediately upon detecting the first hung task. However, some hung tasks are transient and the system can recover, while others are persistent and may accumulate progressively. This patch extends the 'hung_task_panic' sysctl to allow specifying the number of hung tasks that must be detected before triggering a kernel panic. This provides finer control for environments where transient hangs may occur but persistent hangs should still be fatal. The sysctl can be set to: - 0: disabled (never panic) - 1: original behavior (panic on first hung task) - N: panic when N hung tasks are detected This maintains backward compatibility while providing more flexibility for handling different hang scenarios.
