null pointer which may be optimized by the compiler preventing the crash
from occurring

Add descriptive message in the _Static_assert to comply with the C11
standard requirement to prevent compiler from throwing out error. The
compiler throws an error when _Static_assert is used without a message as
that is a C23 extension.

On the Android arm32 platform, when performing the futex_requeue test, it will
most likely return a failure. The specific reason is detailed in a commit[1]
previously submitted by Edward Liaw. However, this commit cannot perfectly
solve the problem. This is because using a barrier does not guarantee that
the child thread will wait on futex_wait.
This series of patches attempts to solve this problem by checking whether
the child thread is in a sleeping state. This is because when the child thread
goes to sleep, it indicates that it is waiting for the futex lock.
v1->v2:
- Solve the compilation problems found by the kernel test robot
- Cleanup the atomic library code for futex test

In the thread_state_get() function, the logic to find the thread's state
character was using `sizeof(header) - 1` to calculate the offset from
the "State:\t" string.
The `header` variable is a `const char *` pointer. `sizeof()` on a
pointer returns the size of the pointer itself, not the length of the
string literal it points to. This makes the code's behavior dependent
on the architecture's pointer size.
This bug was identified on a 32-bit ARM build (`gsi_tv_arm`) for
Android, running on an ARMv8-based device, compiled with Clang 19.0.1.
On this 32-bit architecture, `sizeof(char *)` is 4. The expression
`sizeof(header) - 1` resulted in an incorrect offset of 3, causing the
test to read the wrong character from `/proc/[tid]/status` and fail.
On 64-bit architectures, `sizeof(char *)` is 8, so the expression
coincidentally evaluates to 7, which matches the length of "State:\t".
This is why the bug likely remained hidden on 64-bit builds.
To fix this and make the code portable and correct across all
architectures, this patch replaces `sizeof(header) - 1` with
`strlen(header)`. The `strlen()` function correctly calculates the
string's length, ensuring the correct offset is always used.

2.52.0.223.gf5cc29aaa4-goog
This series adds namespace support to vhost-vsock and loopback. It does
not add namespaces to any of the other guest transports (virtio-vsock,
hyperv, or vmci).
The current revision supports two modes: local and global. Local
mode is complete isolation of namespaces, while global mode is complete
sharing between namespaces of CIDs (the original behavior).
The mode is set using /proc/sys/net/vsock/ns_mode.
Modes are per-netns and write-once. This allows a system to configure
namespaces independently (some may share CIDs, others are completely
isolated). This also supports future possible mixed use cases, where
there may be namespaces in global mode spinning up VMs while there are
mixed mode namespaces that provide services to the VMs, but are not
allowed to allocate from the global CID pool (this mode is not
implemented in this series).
If a socket or VM is created when a namespace is global but the
namespace changes to local, the socket or VM will continue working
normally. That is, the socket or VM assumes the mode behavior of the
namespace at the time the socket/VM was created. The original mode is
captured in vsock_create() and so occurs at the time of socket(2) and
accept(2) for sockets and open(2) on /dev/vhost-vsock for VMs. This
prevents a socket/VM connection from suddenly breaking due to a
namespace mode change. Any new sockets/VMs created after the mode change
will adopt the new mode's behavior.
Additionally, added tests for the new namespace features:

This patch series adds __rust_helper to every single rust helper. The
patches do not depend on each other, so maintainers please go ahead and
pick up any patches relevant to your subsystem! Or provide your Acked-by
so that Miguel can pick them up.
These changes were generated by adding __rust_helper and running
ClangFormat. Unrelated formatting changes were removed manually.
Why is __rust_helper needed?
============================
Currently, C helpers cannot be inlined into Rust even when using LTO
because LLVM detects slightly different options on the codegen units.
* LLVM doesn't want to inline functions compiled with
`-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks` with code compiled without. The C
CGUs all have this enabled and Rust CGUs don't. Inlining is okay since
this is one of the hardening features that does not change the ABI,
and we shouldn't have null pointer dereferences in these helpers.
* LLVM doesn't want to inline functions with different list of builtins. C
side has `-fno-builtin-wcslen`; `wcslen` is not a Rust builtin, so
they should be compatible, but LLVM does not perform inlining due to
attributes mismatch.
* clang and Rust doesn't have the exact target string. Clang generates
`+cmov,+cx8,+fxsr` but Rust doesn't enable them (in fact, Rust will
complain if `-Ctarget-feature=+cmov,+cx8,+fxsr` is used). x86-64
always enable these features, so they are in fact the same target
string, but LLVM doesn't understand this and so inlining is inhibited.
This can be bypassed with `--ignore-tti-inline-compatible`, but this
is a hidden option.
(This analysis was written by Gary Guo.)
How is this fixed?
==================
To fix this we need to add __always_inline to all helpers when compiling
with LTO. However, it should not be added when running bindgen as
bindgen will ignore functions marked inline. To achieve this, we are
using a #define called __rust_helper that is defined differently
depending on whether bindgen is running or not.
Note that __rust_helper is currently always #defined to nothing.
Changing it to __always_inline will happen separately in another patch
series.

When the selftest 'tap.c' is compiled with '-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3', the
strcpy() in rtattr_add_strsz() is replaced with a checked version which
causes the test to consistently fail when compiled with toolchains for
which this option is enabled by default.

A buffer overflow is detected by the fortified glibc __strcpy_chk()
since the __builtin_object_size() of `RTA_DATA(rta)` is incorrectly
reported as 1, even though there is ample space in its bounding buffer
`req`.
Using the unchecked function memcpy() here instead allows us to match
the way rtattr_add_str() is written while avoiding the spurious test
failure.

2.48.1
From: Jack Thomson <jackabt(a)amazon.com>
This patch series adds ARM64 support for the KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY
feature, which was previously only available on x86 [1]. This allows us
to reduce the number of stage-2 faults during execution. This is of
benefit in post-copy migration scenarios, particularly in memory
intensive applications, where we are experiencing high latencies due to
the stage-2 faults.
Patch Overview:
- The first patch adds support for the KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY ioctl
on arm64.
- The second patch updates the pre_fault_memory_test to support
arm64.
- The last patch extends the pre_fault_memory_test to cover
different vm memory backings.
=== Changes Since v2 [2] ===
- Update fault info synthesize value. Thanks Suzuki
- Remove change to selftests for unaligned mmap allocations. Thanks

2.43.0
On the Android arm32 platform, when performing the futex_requeue test, it will
most likely return a failure. The specific reason is detailed in a commit[1]
previously submitted by Edward Liaw. However, this commit cannot perfectly
solve the problem. This is because using a barrier does not guarantee that
the child thread will wait on futex_wait.
This series of patches attempts to solve this problem by checking whether
the child thread is in a sleeping state. This is because when the child thread
goes to sleep, it indicates that it is waiting for the futex lock.

This patch series suggests fixes for several corner cases in the RISC-V
vector ptrace implementation:
- init vector context with proper vlenb, to avoid reading zero vlenb
by an early attached debugger
- follow gdbserver expectations and return ENODATA instead of EINVAL
if vector extension is supported but not yet activated for the
traced process
- validate input vector csr registers in ptrace, to maintain an accurate
view of the tracee's vector context across multiple halt/resume
debug cycles
For detailed description see the appropriate commit messages. A new test
suite validate_v_ptrace is added to the tools/testing/selftests/riscv/vector
to verify some of the vector ptrace functionality and corner cases.
So far tested on the following platforms:
- test in QEMU rv32/rv64
- test on c908 (BananaPi CanMV K230D Zero)
- test on c906 (MangoPi MQ Pro)

Changes in v5:
- add support and minimal set of tests for XTheadVector
Changes in v4:
The form 'vsetvli x0, x0, ...' can only be used if VLMAX remains
unchanged, see spec 6.2. This condition was not met by the initial
values in the selftests w.r.t. the initial zeroed context. QEMU accepted
such values, but actual hardware (c908, BananaPi CanMV Zero board) did
not, setting vill. So fix the selftests after testing on hardware:
- replace 'vsetvli x0, x0, ...' by 'vsetvli rd, x0, ...'
- fixed instruction returns VLMAX, so use it in checks as well
- replace fixed vlenb == 16 in the syscall test
Changes in v3:
Address the review comments by Andy Chiu and rework the approach:
- drop forced vector context save entirely
- perform strict validation of vector csr regs in ptrace
Changes in v2:
- add thread_info flag to allow to force vector context save
- force vector context save after vector ptrace to ensure valid vector
context in the next ptrace operations
- force vector context save on the first context switch after vector
context init to get proper vlenb

2.52.0
Note: it's net/ only bits and doesn't include changes, which shoulf be
merged separately and are posted separately. The full branch for
convenience is at [1], and the patch is here:
https://lore.kernel.org/io-uring/7486ab32e99be1f614b3ef8d0e9bc77015b173f7.1…
Many modern NICs support configurable receive buffer lengths, and zcrx and
memory providers can use buffers larger than 4K/PAGE_SIZE on x86 to improve
performance. When paired with hw-gro larger rx buffer sizes can drastically
reduce the number of buffers traversing the stack and save a lot of processing
time. It also allows to give to users larger contiguous chunks of data. The
idea was first floated around by Saeed during netdev conf 2024 and was
asked about by a few folks.
Single stream benchmarks showed up to ~30% CPU util improvement.
E.g. comparison for 4K vs 32K buffers using a 200Gbit NIC:
packets=23987040 (MB=2745098), rps=199559 (MB/s=22837)
CPU %usr %nice %sys %iowait %irq %soft %idle
0 1.53 0.00 27.78 2.72 1.31 66.45 0.22
packets=24078368 (MB=2755550), rps=200319 (MB/s=22924)
CPU %usr %nice %sys %iowait %irq %soft %idle
0 0.69 0.00 8.26 31.65 1.83 57.00 0.57
This series adds net infrastructure for memory providers configuring
the size and implements it for bnxt. It's an opt-in feature for drivers,
they should advertise support for the parameter in the qops and must check
if the hardware supports the given size. It's limited to memory providers
as it drastically simplifies implementation. It doesn't affect the fast
path zcrx uAPI, and the sizes is defined in zcrx terms, which allows it
to be flexible and adjusted in the future, see Patch 8 for details.

Problem
=======
When host APEI is unable to claim a synchronous external abort (SEA)
during guest abort, today KVM directly injects an asynchronous SError
into the VCPU then resumes it. The injected SError usually results in
unpleasant guest kernel panic.
One of the major situation of guest SEA is when VCPU consumes recoverable
uncorrected memory error (UER), which is not uncommon at all in modern
datacenter servers with large amounts of physical memory. Although SError
and guest panic is sufficient to stop the propagation of corrupted memory,
there is room to recover from an UER in a more graceful manner.
Proposed Solution
=================
The idea is, we can replay the SEA to the faulting VCPU. If the memory
error consumption or the fault that cause SEA is not from guest kernel,
the blast radius can be limited to the poison-consuming guest process,
while the VM can keep running.
In addition, instead of doing under the hood without involving userspace,
there are benefits to redirect the SEA to VMM:
- VM customers care about the disruptions caused by memory errors, and
VMM usually has the responsibility to start the process of notifying
the customers of memory error events in their VMs. For example some
cloud provider emits a critical log in their observability UI [1], and
provides a playbook for customers on how to mitigate disruptions to
their workloads.
- VMM can protect future memory error consumption by unmapping the poisoned
pages from stage-2 page table with KVM userfault [2], or by splitting the
memslot that contains the poisoned pages.
- VMM can keep track of SEA events in the VM. When VMM thinks the status
on the host or the VM is bad enough, e.g. number of distinct SEAs
exceeds a threshold, it can restart the VM on another healthy host.
- Behavior parity with x86 architecture. When machine check exception
(MCE) is caused by VCPU, kernel or KVM signals userspace SIGBUS to
let VMM either recover from the MCE, or terminate itself with VM.
The prior RFC proposes to implement SIGBUS on arm64 as well, but
Marc preferred KVM exit over signal [3]. However, implementation
aside, returning SEA to VMM is on par with returning MCE to VMM.
Once SEA is redirected to VMM, among other actions, VMM is encouraged
to inject external aborts into the faulting VCPU.
New UAPIs
=========
This patchset introduces following userspace-visible changes to empower
VMM to control what happens for SEA on guest memory:
- KVM_CAP_ARM_SEA_TO_USER. While taking SEA, if userspace has enabled
this new capability at VM creation, and the SEA is not owned by kernel
allocated memory, instead of injecting SError, return KVM_EXIT_ARM_SEA
to userspace.
- KVM_EXIT_ARM_SEA. This is the VM exit reason VMM gets. The details
about the SEA is provided in arm_sea as much as possible, including
sanitized ESR value at EL2, faulting guest virtual and physical
addresses if available.
* From v3 [4]
- Rebased on commit 3a8660878839 ("Linux 6.18-rc1").
- In selftest, print a message if GVA or GPA expects to be valid.
* From v2 [5]:
- Rebased on "[PATCH] KVM: arm64: nv: Handle SEAs due to VNCR redirection" [6]
and kvmarm/next commit 7b8346bd9fce6 ("KVM: arm64: Don't attempt vLPI
mappings when vPE allocation is disabled")
- Took the host_owns_sea implementation from Oliver [7, 8].
- Excluded the guest SEA injection patches.
- Updated selftest.
* From v1 [9]:
- Rebased on commit 4d62121ce9b5 ("KVM: arm64: vgic-debug: Avoid
dereferencing NULL ITE pointer").
- Sanitize ESR_EL2 before reporting it to userspace.
- Do not do KVM_EXIT_ARM_SEA when SEA is caused by memory allocated to
stage-2 translation table.

2.51.0.760.g7b8bcc2412-goog
The resctrl selftest currently exhibits several failures on Hygon CPUs
due to missing vendor detection and edge-case handling specific to
Hygon's architecture.
This patch series addresses three distinct issues:
1. Missing CPU vendor detection, causing the test to fail with
"# Can not get vendor info..." on Hygon CPUs.
2. A division-by-zero crash in SNC detection on Hygon CPUs.
3. Incorrect handling of non-contiguous CBM support on Hygon CPUs.
These changes enable resctrl selftest to run successfully on
Hygon CPUs that support Platform QoS features.
Changelog:
v3:
- Patch 1:
1. Update the return types of detect_vendor() and get_vendor() from
'int' to 'unsigned int' to align with their usage as bitmask values
and to prevent potentially risky type conversions (Fenghua).
2. Split the code changes of "define CPU vendor IDs as bits to match
usage" from original patch 1 into a separate patch (this patch,
suggested by Fenghua and Reinette).
3. Introduce the flag 'initialized' to simplify the get_vendor() ->
detect_vendor() logic (Reinette).
- Patch 2 (original patch 1):
1. Move the code changes of "define CPU vendor IDs as bits to match
usage" into patch 1.
- Patch 3 (original patch 2):
1. Fix a nit of code comment for affected platforms (Fenghua).
2. Add Reviewed-by: Fenghua Yu <fenghuay(a)nvidia.com>.
- Patch 4 (original patch 3):
1. Fix a nit to avoid calling get_vendor() twice (Fenghua).
2. Add Reviewed-by: Fenghua Yu <fenghuay(a)nvidia.com>.
v2:
- Patch 1: switch all of the vendor id bitmasks to use BIT() (Reinette)
- Patch 2: add Reviewed-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre(a)intel.com>
- Patch 3: add Reviewed-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre(a)intel.com>
add a maintainer note to highlight it is not a candidate for
backport (Reinette)

2.47.3
v26: CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI depends on CONFIG_MMU (dependency of shadow stack
on MMU). Used b4 to pick tags, apparantly it messed up some tag picks. Fixing it
v25: Removal of `riscv_nousercfi` from `cpufeature.c` and instead placing
it as extern in `usercfi.h` was leading to build error whene cfi config
is not selected. Placed `riscv_nousercfi` outside cfi config ifdef block
in `usercfi.h`
v24:
Took PaulW suggestion for fixing commit desc and checkpatch fixes
in patch #21.
"riscv: kernel command line option to opt out of user cfi"
Collected "Tested-by" tags from Andreas and Valentin. Thanks a lot
for testing it.
v23:
fixed some of the "CHECK:" reported on checkpatch --strict.
Accepted Joel's suggestion for kselftest's Makefile.
CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI is enabled when zicfiss, zicfilp and fcf-protection
are all present in toolchain
v22: fixing build error due to -march=zicfiss being picked in gcc-13 and above
but not actually doing any codegen or recognizing instruction for zicfiss.
Change in v22 makes dependence on `-fcf-protection=full` compiler flag to
ensure that toolchain has support and then only CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI will be
visible in menuconfig.
v21: fixed build errors.
Basics and overview
===================
Software with larger attack surfaces (e.g. network facing apps like databases,
browsers or apps relying on browser runtimes) suffer from memory corruption
issues which can be utilized by attackers to bend control flow of the program
to eventually gain control (by making their payload executable). Attackers are
able to perform such attacks by leveraging call-sites which rely on indirect
calls or return sites which rely on obtaining return address from stack memory.
To mitigate such attacks, risc-v extension zicfilp enforces that all indirect
calls must land on a landing pad instruction `lpad` else cpu will raise software
check exception (a new cpu exception cause code on riscv).
Similarly for return flow, risc-v extension zicfiss extends architecture with
- `sspush` instruction to push return address on a shadow stack
- `sspopchk` instruction to pop return address from shadow stack
and compare with input operand (i.e. return address on stack)
- `sspopchk` to raise software check exception if comparision above
was a mismatch
- Protection mechanism using which shadow stack is not writeable via
regular store instructions
More information an details can be found at extensions github repo [1].
Equivalent to landing pad (zicfilp) on x86 is `ENDBRANCH` instruction in Intel
CET [3] and branch target identification (BTI) [4] on arm.
Similarly x86's Intel CET has shadow stack [5] and arm64 has guarded control
stack (GCS) [6] which are very similar to risc-v's zicfiss shadow stack.
x86 and arm64 support for user mode shadow stack is already in mainline.
Kernel awareness for user control flow integrity
================================================
This series picks up Samuel Holland's envcfg changes [2] as well. So if those are
being applied independently, they should be removed from this series.
Enabling:
In order to maintain compatibility and not break anything in user mode, kernel
doesn't enable control flow integrity cpu extensions on binary by default.
Instead exposes a prctl interface to enable, disable and lock the shadow stack
or landing pad feature for a task. This allows userspace (loader) to enumerate
if all objects in its address space are compiled with shadow stack and landing
pad support and accordingly enable the feature. Additionally if a subsequent
`dlopen` happens on a library, user mode can take a decision again to disable
the feature (if incoming library is not compiled with support) OR terminate the
task (if user mode policy is strict to have all objects in address space to be
compiled with control flow integirty cpu feature). prctl to enable shadow stack
results in allocating shadow stack from virtual memory and activating for user
address space. x86 and arm64 are also following same direction due to similar
reason(s).
clone/fork:
On clone and fork, cfi state for task is inherited by child. Shadow stack is
part of virtual memory and is a writeable memory from kernel perspective
(writeable via a restricted set of instructions aka shadow stack instructions)
Thus kernel changes ensure that this memory is converted into read-only when
fork/clone happens and COWed when fault is taken due to sspush, sspopchk or
ssamoswap. In case `CLONE_VM` is specified and shadow stack is to be enabled,
kernel will automatically allocate a shadow stack for that clone call.
map_shadow_stack:
x86 introduced `map_shadow_stack` system call to allow user space to explicitly
map shadow stack memory in its address space. It is useful to allocate shadow
for different contexts managed by a single thread (green threads or contexts)
risc-v implements this system call as well.
signal management:
If shadow stack is enabled for a task, kernel performs an asynchronous control
flow diversion to deliver the signal and eventually expects userspace to issue
sigreturn so that original execution can be resumed. Even though resume context
is prepared by kernel, it is in user space memory and is subject to memory
corruption and corruption bugs can be utilized by attacker in this race window
to perform arbitrary sigreturn and eventually bypass cfi mechanism.
Another issue is how to ensure that cfi related state on sigcontext area is not
trampled by legacy apps or apps compiled with old kernel headers.
In order to mitigate control-flow hijacting, kernel prepares a token and place
it on shadow stack before signal delivery and places address of token in
sigcontext structure. During sigreturn, kernel obtains address of token from
sigcontext struture, reads token from shadow stack and validates it and only
then allow sigreturn to succeed. Compatiblity issue is solved by adopting
dynamic sigcontext management introduced for vector extension. This series
re-factor the code little bit to allow future sigcontext management easy (as
proposed by Andy Chiu from SiFive)
config and compilation:
Introduce a new risc-v config option `CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI`. Selecting this
config option picks the kernel support for user control flow integrity. This
optin is presented only if toolchain has shadow stack and landing pad support.
And is on purpose guarded by toolchain support. Reason being that eventually
vDSO also needs to be compiled in with shadow stack and landing pad support.
vDSO compile patches are not included as of now because landing pad labeling
scheme is yet to settle for usermode runtime.
To get more information on kernel interactions with respect to
zicfilp and zicfiss, patch series adds documentation for
`zicfilp` and `zicfiss` in following:
Documentation/arch/riscv/zicfiss.rst
Documentation/arch/riscv/zicfilp.rst

changelog
---------
v26:
- fixed S-O-B tag messed up by b4.
- CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI should depend on CONFIG_MMU
v25:
- fixed build error when cfi config is not selected due to missing symbol
error on `riscv_nousercfi`.
v24:
- Checkpatch fixes in patch # 21.
- Collected "Tested-by" tags.
v23:
- fixed some of the "CHECK:" reported on checkpatch --strict.
- Accepted Joel's suggestion for kselftest's Makefile.
- CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI is enabled when zicfiss, zicfilp and fcf-protection
are all present in toolchain
v22:
- CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI was by default "n". With dual vdso support it is
default "y" (if toolchain supports it). Fixing build error due to
"-march=zicfiss" being picked in gcc-13 partially. gcc-13 only recognizes the
flag but not actually doing any codegen or recognizing instruction for zicfiss.
Change in v22 makes dependence on `-fcf-protection=full` compiler flag to
ensure that toolchain has support and then only CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI will be
visible in menuconfig.
- picked up tags and some cosmetic changes in commit message for dual vdso
patch.
v21:
- Fixing build errors due to changes in arch/riscv/include/asm/vdso.h
Using #ifdef instead of IS_ENABLED in arch/riscv/include/asm/vdso.h
vdso-cfi-offsets.h should be included only when CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI
is selected.
v20:
- rebased on v6.18-rc1.
- Added two vDSO support. If `CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI` is selected
two vDSOs are compiled (one for hardware prior to RVA23 and one
for RVA23 onwards). Kernel exposes RVA23 vDSO if hardware/cpu
implements zimop else exposes existing vDSO to userspace.
- default selection for `CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI` is "Yes".
- replaced "__ASSEMBLY__" with "__ASSEMBLER__"
v19:
- riscv_nousercfi was `int`. changed it to unsigned long.
Thanks to Alex Ghiti for reporting it. It was a bug.
- ELP is cleared on trap entry only when CONFIG_64BIT.
- restore ssp back on return to usermode was being done
before `riscv_v_context_nesting_end` on trap exit path.
If kernel shadow stack were enabled this would result in
kernel operating on user shadow stack and panic (as I found
in my testing of kcfi patch series). So fixed that.
v18:
- rebased on 6.16-rc1
- uprobe handling clears ELP in sstatus image in pt_regs
- vdso was missing shadow stack elf note for object files.
added that. Additional asm file for vdso needed the elf marker
flag. toolchain should complain if `-fcf-protection=full` and
marker is missing for object generated from asm file. Asked
toolchain folks to fix this. Although no reason to gate the merge
on that.
- Split up compile options for march and fcf-protection in vdso
Makefile
- CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI option is moved under "Kernel features" menu
Added `arch/riscv/configs/hardening.config` fragment which selects
CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI
v17:
- fixed warnings due to empty macros in usercfi.h (reported by alexg)
- fixed prefixes in commit titles reported by alexg
- took below uprobe with fcfi v2 patch from Zong Li and squashed it with
"riscv/traps: Introduce software check exception and uprobe handling"
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250604093403.10916-1-zong.li@sifive.com/
v16:
- If FWFT is not implemented or returns error for shadow stack activation, then
no_usercfi is set to disable shadow stack. Although this should be picked up
by extension validation and activation. Fixed this bug for zicfilp and zicfiss
both. Thanks to Charlie Jenkins for reporting this.
- If toolchain doesn't support cfi, cfi kselftest shouldn't build. Suggested by
Charlie Jenkins.
- Default for CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI is set to no. Charlie/Atish suggested to
keep it off till we have more hardware availibility with RVA23 profile and
zimop/zcmop implemented. Else this will start breaking people's workflow
- Includes the fix if "!RV64 and !SBI" then definitions for FWFT in
asm-offsets.c error.
v15:
- Toolchain has been updated to include `-fcf-protection` flag. This
exists for x86 as well. Updated kernel patches to compile vDSO and
selftest to compile with `fcf-protection=full` flag.
- selecting CONFIG_RISCV_USERCFI selects CONFIG_RISCV_SBI.
- Patch to enable shadow stack for kernel wasn't hidden behind
CONFIG_RISCV_USERCFI and CONFIG_RISCV_SBI. fixed that.
v14:
- rebased on top of palmer/sbi-v3. Thus dropped clement's FWFT patches
Updated RISCV_ISA_EXT_XXXX in hwcap and hwprobe constants.
- Took Radim's suggestions on bitfields.
- Placed cfi_state at the end of thread_info block so that current situation
is not disturbed with respect to member fields of thread_info in single
cacheline.
v13:
- cpu_supports_shadow_stack/cpu_supports_indirect_br_lp_instr uses
riscv_has_extension_unlikely()
- uses nops(count) to create nop slide
- RISCV_ACQUIRE_BARRIER is not needed in `amo_user_shstk`. Removed it
- changed ternaries to simply use implicit casting to convert to bool.
- kernel command line allows to disable zicfilp and zicfiss independently.
updated kernel-parameters.txt.
- ptrace user abi for cfi uses bitmasks instead of bitfields. Added ptrace
kselftest.
- cosmetic and grammatical changes to documentation.
v12:
- It seems like I had accidently squashed arch agnostic indirect branch
tracking prctl and riscv implementation of those prctls. Split them again.
- set_shstk_status/set_indir_lp_status perform CSR writes only when CPU
support is available. As suggested by Zong Li.
- Some minor clean up in kselftests as suggested by Zong Li.
v11:
- patch "arch/riscv: compile vdso with landing pad" was unconditionally
selecting `_zicfilp` for vDSO compile. fixed that. Changed `lpad 1` to
to `lpad 0`.
v10:
- dropped "mm: helper `is_shadow_stack_vma` to check shadow stack vma". This patch
is not that interesting to this patch series for risc-v. There are instances in
arch directories where VM_SHADOW_STACK flag is anyways used. Dropping this patch
to expedite merging in riscv tree.
- Took suggestions from `Clement` on "riscv: zicfiss / zicfilp enumeration" to
validate presence of cfi based on config.
- Added a patch for vDSO to have `lpad 0`. I had omitted this earlier to make sure
we add single vdso object with cfi enabled. But a vdso object with scheme of
zero labeled landing pad is least common denominator and should work with all
objects of zero labeled as well as function-signature labeled objects.
v9:
- rebased on master (39a803b754d5 fix braino in "9p: fix ->rename_sem exclusion")
- dropped "mm: Introduce ARCH_HAS_USER_SHADOW_STACK" (master has it from arm64/gcs)
- dropped "prctl: arch-agnostic prctl for shadow stack" (master has it from arm64/gcs)
v8:
- rebased on palmer/for-next
- dropped samuel holland's `envcfg` context switch patches.
they are in parlmer/for-next
v7:
- Removed "riscv/Kconfig: enable HAVE_EXIT_THREAD for riscv"
Instead using `deactivate_mm` flow to clean up.
see here for more context
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230908203655.543765-1-rick.p.edgecombe@intel.…
- Changed the header include in `kselftest`. Hopefully this fixes compile
issue faced by Zong Li at SiFive.
- Cleaned up an orphaned change to `mm/mmap.c` in below patch
"riscv/mm : ensure PROT_WRITE leads to VM_READ | VM_WRITE"
- Lock interfaces for shadow stack and indirect branch tracking expect arg == 0
Any future evolution of this interface should accordingly define how arg should
be setup.
- `mm/map.c` has an instance of using `VM_SHADOW_STACK`. Fixed it to use helper
`is_shadow_stack_vma`.
- Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241008-v5_user_cfi_series-v6-0-60d9fe073f37@riv…
v6:
- Picked up Samuel Holland's changes as is with `envcfg` placed in
`thread` instead of `thread_info`
- fixed unaligned newline escapes in kselftest
- cleaned up messages in kselftest and included test output in commit message
- fixed a bug in clone path reported by Zong Li
- fixed a build issue if CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_V is not selected
(this was introduced due to re-factoring signal context
management code)
v5:
- rebased on v6.12-rc1
- Fixed schema related issues in device tree file
- Fixed some of the documentation related issues in zicfilp/ss.rst
(style issues and added index)
- added `SHADOW_STACK_SET_MARKER` so that implementation can define base
of shadow stack.
- Fixed warnings on definitions added in usercfi.h when
CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI is not selected.
- Adopted context header based signal handling as proposed by Andy Chiu
- Added support for enabling kernel mode access to shadow stack using
FWFT
(https://github.com/riscv-non-isa/riscv-sbi-doc/blob/master/src/ext-firmware…)
- Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241001-v5_user_cfi_series-v1-0-3ba65b6e550f@riv…
(Note: I had an issue in my workflow due to which version number wasn't
picked up correctly while sending out patches)
v4:
- rebased on 6.11-rc6
- envcfg: Converged with Samuel Holland's patches for envcfg management on per-
thread basis.
- vma_is_shadow_stack is renamed to is_vma_shadow_stack
- picked up Mark Brown's `ARCH_HAS_USER_SHADOW_STACK` patch
- signal context: using extended context management to maintain compatibility.
- fixed `-Wmissing-prototypes` compiler warnings for prctl functions
- Documentation fixes and amending typos.
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240912231650.3740732-1-debug@rivosinc.com/
v3:
- envcfg
logic to pick up base envcfg had a bug where `ENVCFG_CBZE` could have been
picked on per task basis, even though CPU didn't implement it. Fixed in
this series.
- dt-bindings
As suggested, split into separate commit. fixed the messaging that spec is
in public review
- arch_is_shadow_stack change
arch_is_shadow_stack changed to vma_is_shadow_stack
- hwprobe
zicfiss / zicfilp if present will get enumerated in hwprobe
- selftests
As suggested, added object and binary filenames to .gitignore
Selftest binary anyways need to be compiled with cfi enabled compiler which
will make sure that landing pad and shadow stack are enabled. Thus removed
separate enable/disable tests. Cleaned up tests a bit.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240403234054.2020347-1-debug@rivosinc.com/
v2:
- Using config `CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI`, kernel support for riscv control flow
integrity for user mode programs can be compiled in the kernel.
- Enabling of control flow integrity for user programs is left to user runtime
- This patch series introduces arch agnostic `prctls` to enable shadow stack
and indirect branch tracking. And implements them on riscv.

- debug
This is a follow-up series of [1]. It tries to fix a possible UAF in the
fops of cros_ec_chardev after the underlying protocol device has gone by
using revocable.
The 1st patch introduces the revocable which is an implementation of ideas
from the talk [2].
The 2nd and 3rd patches add test cases for revocable in Kunit and selftest.
The 4th patch converts existing protocol devices to resource providers
of cros_ec_device.
The 5th - 7th are PoC patches for showing the use case of "Replace file
operations" below.
---
I came out with 2 possible usages of revocable.
1. Use primitive APIs
Use the primitive APIs of revocable directly.
The file operations make sure the resources are available when using them.
This is what the series original proposed[3][4]. Even though it has the
finest grain for accessing the resources, it makes the user code verbose.
Per feedback from the community, I'm looking for some subsystem level
helpers so that user code can be simlper.
2. Replace file operations
Replace filp->f_op to revocable-aware warppers.
The warppers make sure the resources are available in the file operations.
The user code needs to provide a callback .try_access() to tell the wrappers
where/how to *save* the pointers of resources.
Known drawback:
- The warppers reserve the resources for all file operations even if they
might be unused.
- The user code still needs to be revocable-aware.
- The whole file operation becomes a SRCU read-side critical section. Are
there any functions can't be called in the critical section? If there is,
the file operations may not be awared of that.
See 5th - 7th patches for an example usage.

2.51.0.788.g6d19910ace-goog
The get_hw_info uses a smaller user buffer on purpose to check how
the kernel updates only the fields that fit in the buffer. The test
created a custom smaller struct for this, but the helper function later
treats the buffer as struct iommu_test_hw_info. This makes the compiler
warn about a possible out-of-bounds access (-Warray-bounds).
This keeps the test behavior the same and removes the warning.

While it is true that "struct iommu_test_hw_info[0]" is partly out of

Reuse an existing properly sized stack buffer and pass a truncated length

I don't think this is irrelevant. The whole thing seems to have some
logic flaws, see the extensive report from Zenghui[1] as a reply to
your series.

v25: Removal of `riscv_nousercfi` from `cpufeature.c` and instead placing
it as extern in `usercfi.h` was leading to build error whene cfi config
is not selected. Placed `riscv_nousercfi` outside cfi config ifdef block
in `usercfi.h`
v24:
Took PaulW suggestion for fixing commit desc and checkpatch fixes
in patch #21.
"riscv: kernel command line option to opt out of user cfi"
Collected "Tested-by" tags from Andreas and Valentin. Thanks a lot
for testing it.
v23:
fixed some of the "CHECK:" reported on checkpatch --strict.
Accepted Joel's suggestion for kselftest's Makefile.
CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI is enabled when zicfiss, zicfilp and fcf-protection
are all present in toolchain
v22: fixing build error due to -march=zicfiss being picked in gcc-13 and above
but not actually doing any codegen or recognizing instruction for zicfiss.
Change in v22 makes dependence on `-fcf-protection=full` compiler flag to
ensure that toolchain has support and then only CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI will be
visible in menuconfig.
v21: fixed build errors.
Basics and overview
===================
Software with larger attack surfaces (e.g. network facing apps like databases,
browsers or apps relying on browser runtimes) suffer from memory corruption
issues which can be utilized by attackers to bend control flow of the program
to eventually gain control (by making their payload executable). Attackers are
able to perform such attacks by leveraging call-sites which rely on indirect
calls or return sites which rely on obtaining return address from stack memory.
To mitigate such attacks, risc-v extension zicfilp enforces that all indirect
calls must land on a landing pad instruction `lpad` else cpu will raise software
check exception (a new cpu exception cause code on riscv).
Similarly for return flow, risc-v extension zicfiss extends architecture with
- `sspush` instruction to push return address on a shadow stack
- `sspopchk` instruction to pop return address from shadow stack
and compare with input operand (i.e. return address on stack)
- `sspopchk` to raise software check exception if comparision above
was a mismatch
- Protection mechanism using which shadow stack is not writeable via
regular store instructions
More information an details can be found at extensions github repo [1].
Equivalent to landing pad (zicfilp) on x86 is `ENDBRANCH` instruction in Intel
CET [3] and branch target identification (BTI) [4] on arm.
Similarly x86's Intel CET has shadow stack [5] and arm64 has guarded control
stack (GCS) [6] which are very similar to risc-v's zicfiss shadow stack.
x86 and arm64 support for user mode shadow stack is already in mainline.
Kernel awareness for user control flow integrity
================================================
This series picks up Samuel Holland's envcfg changes [2] as well. So if those are
being applied independently, they should be removed from this series.
Enabling:
In order to maintain compatibility and not break anything in user mode, kernel
doesn't enable control flow integrity cpu extensions on binary by default.
Instead exposes a prctl interface to enable, disable and lock the shadow stack
or landing pad feature for a task. This allows userspace (loader) to enumerate
if all objects in its address space are compiled with shadow stack and landing
pad support and accordingly enable the feature. Additionally if a subsequent
`dlopen` happens on a library, user mode can take a decision again to disable
the feature (if incoming library is not compiled with support) OR terminate the
task (if user mode policy is strict to have all objects in address space to be
compiled with control flow integirty cpu feature). prctl to enable shadow stack
results in allocating shadow stack from virtual memory and activating for user
address space. x86 and arm64 are also following same direction due to similar
reason(s).
clone/fork:
On clone and fork, cfi state for task is inherited by child. Shadow stack is
part of virtual memory and is a writeable memory from kernel perspective
(writeable via a restricted set of instructions aka shadow stack instructions)
Thus kernel changes ensure that this memory is converted into read-only when
fork/clone happens and COWed when fault is taken due to sspush, sspopchk or
ssamoswap. In case `CLONE_VM` is specified and shadow stack is to be enabled,
kernel will automatically allocate a shadow stack for that clone call.
map_shadow_stack:
x86 introduced `map_shadow_stack` system call to allow user space to explicitly
map shadow stack memory in its address space. It is useful to allocate shadow
for different contexts managed by a single thread (green threads or contexts)
risc-v implements this system call as well.
signal management:
If shadow stack is enabled for a task, kernel performs an asynchronous control
flow diversion to deliver the signal and eventually expects userspace to issue
sigreturn so that original execution can be resumed. Even though resume context
is prepared by kernel, it is in user space memory and is subject to memory
corruption and corruption bugs can be utilized by attacker in this race window
to perform arbitrary sigreturn and eventually bypass cfi mechanism.
Another issue is how to ensure that cfi related state on sigcontext area is not
trampled by legacy apps or apps compiled with old kernel headers.
In order to mitigate control-flow hijacting, kernel prepares a token and place
it on shadow stack before signal delivery and places address of token in
sigcontext structure. During sigreturn, kernel obtains address of token from
sigcontext struture, reads token from shadow stack and validates it and only
then allow sigreturn to succeed. Compatiblity issue is solved by adopting
dynamic sigcontext management introduced for vector extension. This series
re-factor the code little bit to allow future sigcontext management easy (as
proposed by Andy Chiu from SiFive)
config and compilation:
Introduce a new risc-v config option `CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI`. Selecting this
config option picks the kernel support for user control flow integrity. This
optin is presented only if toolchain has shadow stack and landing pad support.
And is on purpose guarded by toolchain support. Reason being that eventually
vDSO also needs to be compiled in with shadow stack and landing pad support.
vDSO compile patches are not included as of now because landing pad labeling
scheme is yet to settle for usermode runtime.
To get more information on kernel interactions with respect to
zicfilp and zicfiss, patch series adds documentation for
`zicfilp` and `zicfiss` in following:
Documentation/arch/riscv/zicfiss.rst
Documentation/arch/riscv/zicfilp.rst

changelog
---------
v25:
- fixed build error when cfi config is not selected due to missing symbol
error on `riscv_nousercfi`.
v24:
- Checkpatch fixes in patch # 21.
- Collected "Tested-by" tags.
v23:
- fixed some of the "CHECK:" reported on checkpatch --strict.
- Accepted Joel's suggestion for kselftest's Makefile.
- CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI is enabled when zicfiss, zicfilp and fcf-protection
are all present in toolchain
v22:
- CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI was by default "n". With dual vdso support it is
default "y" (if toolchain supports it). Fixing build error due to
"-march=zicfiss" being picked in gcc-13 partially. gcc-13 only recognizes the
flag but not actually doing any codegen or recognizing instruction for zicfiss.
Change in v22 makes dependence on `-fcf-protection=full` compiler flag to
ensure that toolchain has support and then only CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI will be
visible in menuconfig.
- picked up tags and some cosmetic changes in commit message for dual vdso
patch.
v21:
- Fixing build errors due to changes in arch/riscv/include/asm/vdso.h
Using #ifdef instead of IS_ENABLED in arch/riscv/include/asm/vdso.h
vdso-cfi-offsets.h should be included only when CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI
is selected.
v20:
- rebased on v6.18-rc1.
- Added two vDSO support. If `CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI` is selected
two vDSOs are compiled (one for hardware prior to RVA23 and one
for RVA23 onwards). Kernel exposes RVA23 vDSO if hardware/cpu
implements zimop else exposes existing vDSO to userspace.
- default selection for `CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI` is "Yes".
- replaced "__ASSEMBLY__" with "__ASSEMBLER__"
v19:
- riscv_nousercfi was `int`. changed it to unsigned long.
Thanks to Alex Ghiti for reporting it. It was a bug.
- ELP is cleared on trap entry only when CONFIG_64BIT.
- restore ssp back on return to usermode was being done
before `riscv_v_context_nesting_end` on trap exit path.
If kernel shadow stack were enabled this would result in
kernel operating on user shadow stack and panic (as I found
in my testing of kcfi patch series). So fixed that.
v18:
- rebased on 6.16-rc1
- uprobe handling clears ELP in sstatus image in pt_regs
- vdso was missing shadow stack elf note for object files.
added that. Additional asm file for vdso needed the elf marker
flag. toolchain should complain if `-fcf-protection=full` and
marker is missing for object generated from asm file. Asked
toolchain folks to fix this. Although no reason to gate the merge
on that.
- Split up compile options for march and fcf-protection in vdso
Makefile
- CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI option is moved under "Kernel features" menu
Added `arch/riscv/configs/hardening.config` fragment which selects
CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI
v17:
- fixed warnings due to empty macros in usercfi.h (reported by alexg)
- fixed prefixes in commit titles reported by alexg
- took below uprobe with fcfi v2 patch from Zong Li and squashed it with
"riscv/traps: Introduce software check exception and uprobe handling"
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250604093403.10916-1-zong.li@sifive.com/
v16:
- If FWFT is not implemented or returns error for shadow stack activation, then
no_usercfi is set to disable shadow stack. Although this should be picked up
by extension validation and activation. Fixed this bug for zicfilp and zicfiss
both. Thanks to Charlie Jenkins for reporting this.
- If toolchain doesn't support cfi, cfi kselftest shouldn't build. Suggested by
Charlie Jenkins.
- Default for CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI is set to no. Charlie/Atish suggested to
keep it off till we have more hardware availibility with RVA23 profile and
zimop/zcmop implemented. Else this will start breaking people's workflow
- Includes the fix if "!RV64 and !SBI" then definitions for FWFT in
asm-offsets.c error.
v15:
- Toolchain has been updated to include `-fcf-protection` flag. This
exists for x86 as well. Updated kernel patches to compile vDSO and
selftest to compile with `fcf-protection=full` flag.
- selecting CONFIG_RISCV_USERCFI selects CONFIG_RISCV_SBI.
- Patch to enable shadow stack for kernel wasn't hidden behind
CONFIG_RISCV_USERCFI and CONFIG_RISCV_SBI. fixed that.
v14:
- rebased on top of palmer/sbi-v3. Thus dropped clement's FWFT patches
Updated RISCV_ISA_EXT_XXXX in hwcap and hwprobe constants.
- Took Radim's suggestions on bitfields.
- Placed cfi_state at the end of thread_info block so that current situation
is not disturbed with respect to member fields of thread_info in single
cacheline.
v13:
- cpu_supports_shadow_stack/cpu_supports_indirect_br_lp_instr uses
riscv_has_extension_unlikely()
- uses nops(count) to create nop slide
- RISCV_ACQUIRE_BARRIER is not needed in `amo_user_shstk`. Removed it
- changed ternaries to simply use implicit casting to convert to bool.
- kernel command line allows to disable zicfilp and zicfiss independently.
updated kernel-parameters.txt.
- ptrace user abi for cfi uses bitmasks instead of bitfields. Added ptrace
kselftest.
- cosmetic and grammatical changes to documentation.
v12:
- It seems like I had accidently squashed arch agnostic indirect branch
tracking prctl and riscv implementation of those prctls. Split them again.
- set_shstk_status/set_indir_lp_status perform CSR writes only when CPU
support is available. As suggested by Zong Li.
- Some minor clean up in kselftests as suggested by Zong Li.
v11:
- patch "arch/riscv: compile vdso with landing pad" was unconditionally
selecting `_zicfilp` for vDSO compile. fixed that. Changed `lpad 1` to
to `lpad 0`.
v10:
- dropped "mm: helper `is_shadow_stack_vma` to check shadow stack vma". This patch
is not that interesting to this patch series for risc-v. There are instances in
arch directories where VM_SHADOW_STACK flag is anyways used. Dropping this patch
to expedite merging in riscv tree.
- Took suggestions from `Clement` on "riscv: zicfiss / zicfilp enumeration" to
validate presence of cfi based on config.
- Added a patch for vDSO to have `lpad 0`. I had omitted this earlier to make sure
we add single vdso object with cfi enabled. But a vdso object with scheme of
zero labeled landing pad is least common denominator and should work with all
objects of zero labeled as well as function-signature labeled objects.
v9:
- rebased on master (39a803b754d5 fix braino in "9p: fix ->rename_sem exclusion")
- dropped "mm: Introduce ARCH_HAS_USER_SHADOW_STACK" (master has it from arm64/gcs)
- dropped "prctl: arch-agnostic prctl for shadow stack" (master has it from arm64/gcs)
v8:
- rebased on palmer/for-next
- dropped samuel holland's `envcfg` context switch patches.
they are in parlmer/for-next
v7:
- Removed "riscv/Kconfig: enable HAVE_EXIT_THREAD for riscv"
Instead using `deactivate_mm` flow to clean up.
see here for more context
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230908203655.543765-1-rick.p.edgecombe@intel.…
- Changed the header include in `kselftest`. Hopefully this fixes compile
issue faced by Zong Li at SiFive.
- Cleaned up an orphaned change to `mm/mmap.c` in below patch
"riscv/mm : ensure PROT_WRITE leads to VM_READ | VM_WRITE"
- Lock interfaces for shadow stack and indirect branch tracking expect arg == 0
Any future evolution of this interface should accordingly define how arg should
be setup.
- `mm/map.c` has an instance of using `VM_SHADOW_STACK`. Fixed it to use helper
`is_shadow_stack_vma`.
- Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241008-v5_user_cfi_series-v6-0-60d9fe073f37@riv…
v6:
- Picked up Samuel Holland's changes as is with `envcfg` placed in
`thread` instead of `thread_info`
- fixed unaligned newline escapes in kselftest
- cleaned up messages in kselftest and included test output in commit message
- fixed a bug in clone path reported by Zong Li
- fixed a build issue if CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_V is not selected
(this was introduced due to re-factoring signal context
management code)
v5:
- rebased on v6.12-rc1
- Fixed schema related issues in device tree file
- Fixed some of the documentation related issues in zicfilp/ss.rst
(style issues and added index)
- added `SHADOW_STACK_SET_MARKER` so that implementation can define base
of shadow stack.
- Fixed warnings on definitions added in usercfi.h when
CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI is not selected.
- Adopted context header based signal handling as proposed by Andy Chiu
- Added support for enabling kernel mode access to shadow stack using
FWFT
(https://github.com/riscv-non-isa/riscv-sbi-doc/blob/master/src/ext-firmware…)
- Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241001-v5_user_cfi_series-v1-0-3ba65b6e550f@riv…
(Note: I had an issue in my workflow due to which version number wasn't
picked up correctly while sending out patches)
v4:
- rebased on 6.11-rc6
- envcfg: Converged with Samuel Holland's patches for envcfg management on per-
thread basis.
- vma_is_shadow_stack is renamed to is_vma_shadow_stack
- picked up Mark Brown's `ARCH_HAS_USER_SHADOW_STACK` patch
- signal context: using extended context management to maintain compatibility.
- fixed `-Wmissing-prototypes` compiler warnings for prctl functions
- Documentation fixes and amending typos.
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240912231650.3740732-1-debug@rivosinc.com/
v3:
- envcfg
logic to pick up base envcfg had a bug where `ENVCFG_CBZE` could have been
picked on per task basis, even though CPU didn't implement it. Fixed in
this series.
- dt-bindings
As suggested, split into separate commit. fixed the messaging that spec is
in public review
- arch_is_shadow_stack change
arch_is_shadow_stack changed to vma_is_shadow_stack
- hwprobe
zicfiss / zicfilp if present will get enumerated in hwprobe
- selftests
As suggested, added object and binary filenames to .gitignore
Selftest binary anyways need to be compiled with cfi enabled compiler which
will make sure that landing pad and shadow stack are enabled. Thus removed
separate enable/disable tests. Cleaned up tests a bit.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240403234054.2020347-1-debug@rivosinc.com/
v2:
- Using config `CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI`, kernel support for riscv control flow
integrity for user mode programs can be compiled in the kernel.
- Enabling of control flow integrity for user programs is left to user runtime
- This patch series introduces arch agnostic `prctls` to enable shadow stack
and indirect branch tracking. And implements them on riscv.

2.34.1
Dear friends,
this patch series adds support for nested seccomp listeners. It allows container
runtimes and other sandboxing software to install seccomp listeners on top of
existing ones, which is useful for nested LXC containers and other similar use-cases.
Expecting potential discussions around this patch series, I'm going to present a talk
at LPC 2025 about the design and implementation details of this feature [1].
Git tree (based on for-next/seccomp):
v3: https://github.com/mihalicyn/linux/commits/seccomp.mult.listeners.v3
current: https://github.com/mihalicyn/linux/commits/seccomp.mult.listeners
Changelog for version 3:
- almost completely rewritten (no static array on the stack, no nesting limit)
- more testcases
Changelog for version 2:
- add some explanatory comments
- add RWB tags from Tycho Andersen (thanks, Tycho! ;) )
- CC-ed Aleksa as he might be interested in this stuff too

2.43.0
Hi,
This series fixes a verifier issue with bpf_d_path() and adds a
regression test to cover its use within a hook function.
Patch 1 updates the bpf_d_path() helper prototype so that the second
argument is marked as MEM_WRITE. This makes it explicit to the verifier
that the helper writes into the provided buffer.
Patch 2 extends the existing d_path selftest to cover incorrect verifier
assumptions caused by an incorrect function prototype. The test program calls
bpf_d_path() and checks if the first character of the path can be read.
It ensures the verifier does not assume the buffer remains unwritten.
Changelog
=========
v5:
- Moved the temporary file for the fallocate test from /tmp to /dev/shm
Since bpf CI's 9P filesystem under /tmp does not support fallocate.
v4:
- Use the fallocate hook instead of an LSM hook to simplify the selftest,
as suggested by Matt and Alexei.
- Add a utility function in test_d_path.c to load the BPF program,
improving code reuse.
v3:
- Switch the pathname prefix loop to use bpf_for() instead of
#pragma unroll, as suggested by Matt.
- Remove /tmp/bpf_d_path_test in the test cleanup path.
- Add the missing Reviewed-by tags.
v2:
- Merge the new test into the existing d_path selftest rather than
creating new files.
- Add PID filtering in the LSM program to avoid nondeterministic failures
due to unrelated processes triggering bprm_check_security.
- Synchronize child execution using a pipe to ensure deterministic
updates to the PID.
Thanks for your time and reviews.

As describe in the help string, the user might want to disable these
tests if they don't like to see stacktraces/BUG etc in their kernel log.
However, if they enable PANIC_ON_OOPS, these tests also crash the
machine, which it's safe to assume _almost_ nobody wants.
One might argue that _absolutely_ nobody ever wants their kernel to
crash so this should just be a hard dependency instead of a default.
However, since this is rather special code that's anyway concerned with
deliberately doing "bad" things, the normal rules don't seem to apply,
hence prefer flexibility and allow users to set up a crashing Kconfig if
they so choose.

Currently, failures returned from __cpu_map_entry_alloc() are ignored
and always converted to -ENOMEM by cpu_map_update_elem(). This series
ensures the correct error propagation and adds selftests.

2.51.0
If there is a large number (hundreds) of dmabufs allocated, the text
output generated from dmabuf_iter_seq_show can exceed common user buffer
sizes (e.g. PAGE_SIZE) necessitating multiple start/stop cycles to
iterate through all dmabufs. However the dmabuf iterator currently
returns NULL in dmabuf_iter_seq_start for all non-zero pos values, which
results in the truncation of the output before all dmabufs are handled.
After dma_buf_iter_begin / dma_buf_iter_next, the refcount of the buffer
is elevated so that the BPF iterator program can run without holding any
locks. When a stop occurs, instead of immediately dropping the reference
on the buffer, stash a pointer to the buffer in seq->priv until
either start is called or the iterator is released. This also enables
the resumption of iteration without first walking through the list of
dmabufs based on the pos value.
Fixes: 76ea95534995 ("bpf: Add dmabuf iterator")

2.52.0.177.g9f829587af-goog
The resctrl selftest currently exhibits several failures on Hygon CPUs
due to missing vendor detection and edge-case handling specific to
Hygon's architecture.
This patch series addresses three distinct issues:
1. Missing CPU vendor detection, causing the test to fail with
"# Can not get vendor info..." on Hygon CPUs.
2. A division-by-zero crash in SNC detection on Hygon CPUs.
3. Incorrect handling of non-contiguous CBM support on Hygon CPUs.
These changes enable resctrl selftest to run successfully on
Hygon CPUs that support Platform QoS features.
Changelog:
v2:
- Patch 1: switch all of the vendor id bitmasks to use BIT() (Reinette)
- Patch 2: add Reviewed-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre(a)intel.com>
- Patch 3: add Reviewed-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre(a)intel.com>
add a maintainer note to highlight it is not a candidate for
backport (Reinette)

2.47.3
This patch series introduces a new configfs attribute that enables sending
messages directly through netconsole without going through the kernel's logging
infrastructure.
This feature allows users to send custom messages, alerts, or status updates
directly to netconsole receivers by writing to
/sys/kernel/config/netconsole/<target>/send_msg, without poluting kernel
buffers, and sending msgs to the serial, which could be slow.
At Meta this is currently used in two cases right now (through printk by
now):
a) When a new workload enters or leave the machine.
b) From time to time, as a "ping" to make sure the netconsole/machine
is alive.
The implementation reuses the existing message transmission functions
(send_msg_udp() and send_ext_msg_udp()) to handle both basic and extended
message formats.
Regarding code organization, this version uses forward declarations for
send_msg_udp() and send_ext_msg_udp() functions rather than relocating them
within the file. While forward declarations do add a small amount of
redundancy, they avoid the larger churn that would result from moving entire
function definitions.

This series improves the CPU cost of RX token management by adding an
attribute to NETDEV_CMD_BIND_RX that configures sockets using the
binding to avoid the xarray allocator and instead use a per-binding niov
array and a uref field in niov.
Improvement is ~13% cpu util per RX user thread.
Using kperf, the following results were observed:

Average RX worker idle %: 13.13, flows 4, test runs 11
After:
Average RX worker idle %: 26.32, flows 4, test runs 11
Two other approaches were tested, but with no improvement. Namely, 1)
using a hashmap for tokens and 2) keeping an xarray of atomic counters
but using RCU so that the hotpath could be mostly lockless. Neither of
these approaches proved better than the simple array in terms of CPU.
The attribute NETDEV_A_DMABUF_AUTORELEASE is added to toggle the
optimization. It is an optional attribute and defaults to 0 (i.e.,
optimization on).

This series introduces NUMA-aware memory placement support for KVM guests
with guest_memfd memory backends. It builds upon Fuad Tabba's work (V17)
that enabled host-mapping for guest_memfd memory [1] and can be applied
directly applied on KVM tree [2] (branch kvm-next, base commit: a6ad5413,
Merge branch 'guest-memfd-mmap' into HEAD)
== Background ==
KVM's guest-memfd memory backend currently lacks support for NUMA policy
enforcement, causing guest memory allocations to be distributed across host
nodes according to kernel's default behavior, irrespective of any policy
specified by the VMM. This limitation arises because conventional userspace
NUMA control mechanisms like mbind(2) don't work since the memory isn't
directly mapped to userspace when allocations occur.
Fuad's work [1] provides the necessary mmap capability, and this series
leverages it to enable mbind(2).
== Implementation ==
This series implements proper NUMA policy support for guest-memfd by:
1. Adding mempolicy-aware allocation APIs to the filemap layer.
2. Introducing custom inodes (via a dedicated slab-allocated inode cache,
kvm_gmem_inode_info) to store NUMA policy and metadata for guest memory.
3. Implementing get/set_policy vm_ops in guest_memfd to support NUMA
policy.
With these changes, VMMs can now control guest memory placement by mapping
guest_memfd file descriptor and using mbind(2) to specify:
- Policy modes: default, bind, interleave, or preferred
- Host NUMA nodes: List of target nodes for memory allocation
These Policies affect only future allocations and do not migrate existing
memory. This matches mbind(2)'s default behavior which affects only new
allocations unless overridden with MPOL_MF_MOVE/MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL flags (Not
supported for guest_memfd as it is unmovable by design).
== Upstream Plan ==
Phased approach as per David's guest_memfd extension overview [3] and
community calls [4]:
Phase 1 (this series):
1. Focuses on shared guest_memfd support (non-CoCo VMs).
2. Builds on Fuad's host-mapping work [1].
Phase2 (future work):
1. NUMA support for private guest_memfd (CoCo VMs).
2. Depends on SNP in-place conversion support [5].
This series provides a clean integration path for NUMA-aware memory
management for guest_memfd and lays the groundwork for future confidential
computing NUMA capabilities.
Thanks,
Shivank

Hi all,
This patch series introduces improvements to the cgroup selftests by adding
a helper function to better handle asynchronous updates in cgroup statistics.
These changes are especially useful for managing cgroup stats like
memory.stat and cgroup.stat, which can be affected by delays (e.g., RCU
callbacks and asynchronous rstat flushing).
Patch 1/3 adds cg_read_key_long_poll(), a generic helper to poll a numeric
key in a cgroup file until it reaches an expected value or a retry limit is
hit. Patches 2/3 and 3/3 convert existing tests to use this helper, making
them more robust on busy systems.
v5:
- Drop the "/* 3s total */" comment from MEMCG_SOCKSTAT_WAIT_RETRIES as
suggested by Shakeel, so it does not become stale if the wait interval
changes.
- Elaborate in the commit message of patch 3/3 on the rationale behind the
8s timeout in test_kmem_dead_cgroups(), and add a comment next to
KMEM_DEAD_WAIT_RETRIES explaining that it is a generous upper bound
derived from stress testing and not tied to a specific kernel constant.
- Add Reviewed-by: Shakeel Butt <shakeel.butt(a)linux.dev> to this series.
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251124123816.486164-1-zhangguopeng@kylinos.cn/
v4:
- Patch 1/3: Add the cg_read_key_long_poll() helper to poll cgroup keys
with retries and configurable intervals.
- Patch 2/3: Update test_memcg_sock() to use cg_read_key_long_poll() for
handling delayed "sock " counter updates in memory.stat.
- Patch 3/3: Replace the sleep-and-retry logic in test_kmem_dead_cgroups()
with cg_read_key_long_poll() for waiting on nr_dying_descendants.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/p655qedqjaakrnqpytc6dltejfluxo6jrffcltfz2ivonmk…
v3:
- Move MEMCG_SOCKSTAT_WAIT_* defines after the #include block as suggested.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/5ad2b75f-748a-4e93-8d11-63295bda0cbf@linux.dev/
v2:
- Clarify the rationale for the 3s timeout and mention the periodic rstat
flush interval (FLUSH_TIME = 2 * HZ) in the comment.
- Replace hardcoded retry count and wait interval with macros to avoid
magic numbers and make the timeout calculation explicit.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251119122758.85610-1-ioworker0@gmail.com/
Thanks to Michal Koutný for the suggestion, and to Lance Yang and Shakeel Butt for their reviews and feedback.

2.25.1
[ based on kvm/next ]
Unmapping virtual machine guest memory from the host kernel's direct map
is a successful mitigation against Spectre-style transient execution
issues: if the kernel page tables do not contain entries pointing to
guest memory, then any attempted speculative read through the direct map
will necessarily be blocked by the MMU before any observable
microarchitectural side-effects happen. This means that Spectre-gadgets
and similar cannot be used to target virtual machine memory. Roughly
60% of speculative execution issues fall into this category [1, Table
1].
This patch series extends guest_memfd with the ability to remove its
memory from the host kernel's direct map, to be able to attain the above
protection for KVM guests running inside guest_memfd.
Additionally, a Firecracker branch with support for these VMs can be
found on GitHub [2].
For more details, please refer to the v5 cover letter. No substantial
changes in design have taken place since.
See also related write() syscall support in guest_memfd [3] where
the interoperation between the two features is described.
Changes since v7:
- David: separate patches for adding x86 and ARM support
- Dave/Will: drop support for disabling TLB flushes
