[PATCHSET v11 sched_ext/for-6.20] Add a deadline server for sched_ext tasks

by Andrea Righi

sched_ext tasks can be starved by long-running RT tasks, especially since RT throttling was replaced by deadline servers to boost only SCHED_NORMAL tasks. Several users in the community have reported issues with RT stalling sched_ext tasks. This is fairly common on distributions or environments where applications like video compositors, audio services, etc. run as RT tasks by default. Example trace (showing a per-CPU kthread stalled due to the sway Wayland compositor running as an RT task): runnable task stall (kworker/0:0[106377] failed to run for 5.043s) ... CPU 0 : nr_run=3 flags=0xd cpu_rel=0 ops_qseq=20646200 pnt_seq=45388738 curr=sway[994] class=rt_sched_class R kworker/0:0[106377] -5043ms scx_state/flags=3/0x1 dsq_flags=0x0 ops_state/qseq=0/0 sticky/holding_cpu=-1/-1 dsq_id=0x8000000000000002 dsq_vtime=0 slice=20000000 cpus=01 This is often perceived as a bug in the BPF schedulers, but in reality they can't do much: RT tasks run outside their control and can potentially consume 100% of the CPU bandwidth. Fix this by adding a sched_ext deadline server, so that sched_ext tasks are also boosted and do not suffer starvation. Two kselftests are also provided to verify the starvation fixes and bandwidth allocation is correct. == Design == - The EXT server is initialized at boot time and remains configured throughout the system's lifetime - It starts automatically when the first sched_ext task is enqueued (rq->scx.nr_running == 1) - The server's pick function (ext_server_pick_task) always selects sched_ext tasks when active - Runtime accounting happens in update_curr_scx() during task execution and update_curr_idle() when idle - Bandwidth accounting includes both fair and ext servers in root domain calculations - A debugfs interface (/sys/kernel/debug/sched/ext_server/) allows runtime tuning of server parameters == Highlights in this version == As discussed at the sched_ext microconference at LPC Tokyo, the plan is to start with a simpler approach, avoiding automatically creating or tearing down the EXT server bandwidth reservation when a BPF scheduler is loaded or unloaded. Instead, the reservation is kept permanently active. This significantly simplifies the logic while still addressing the starvation issue. Any fine-tuning of the bandwidth reservation is delegated to the system administrator, who can adjust it via the debugfs interface. In the future, a more suitable interface can be introduced and automatic removal of the reservation when the BPF scheduler is unloaded can be revisited. This patchset is also available in the following git branch: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arighi/linux.git scx-dl-server Changes in v11: - do not create/remove the bandwidth reservation for the ext server when a BPF scheduler is loaded/unloaded, but keep the reservation bandwdith always active - change rt_stall kselftest to validate both FAIR and EXT DL servers - Link to v10: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250903095008.162049-1-arighi@nvidia.com/ Changes in v10: - reordered patches to better isolate sched_ext changes vs sched/deadline changes (Andrea Righi) - define ext_server only with CONFIG_SCHED_CLASS_EXT=y (Andrea Righi) - add WARN_ON_ONCE(!cpus) check in dl_server_apply_params() (Andrea Righi) - wait for inactive_task_timer to fire before removing the bandwidth reservation (Juri Lelli) - remove explicit dl_server_stop() in dequeue_task_scx() to reduce timer reprogramming overhead (Juri Lelli) - do not restart pick_task() when invoked by the dl_server (Tejun Heo) - rename rq_dl_server to dl_server (Peter Zijlstra) - fixed a missing dl_server start in dl_server_on() (Christian Loehle) - add a comment to the rt_stall selftest to better explain the 4% threshold (Emil Tsalapatis) - Link to v9: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251017093214.70029-1-arighi@nvidia.com/ Changes in v9: - Drop the ->balance() logic as its functionality is now integrated into ->pick_task(), allowing dl_server to call pick_task_scx() directly - Link to v8: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250903095008.162049-1-arighi@nvidia.com/ Changes in v8: - Add tj's patch to de-couple balance and pick_task and avoid changing sched/core callbacks to propagate @rf - Simplify dl_se->dl_server check (suggested by PeterZ) - Small coding style fixes in the kselftests - Link to v7: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250809184800.129831-1-joelagnelf@nvidia.com/ Changes in v7: - Rebased to Linus master - Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250702232944.3221001-1-joelagnelf@nvidia.com/ Changes in v6: - Added Acks to few patches - Fixes to few nits suggested by Tejun - Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250620203234.3349930-1-joelagnelf@nvidia.com/ Changes in v5: - Added a kselftest (total_bw) to sched_ext to verify bandwidth values from debugfs - Address comment from Andrea about redundant rq clock invalidation - Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250617200523.1261231-1-joelagnelf@nvidia.com/ Changes in v4: - Fixed issues with hotplugged CPUs having their DL server bandwidth altered due to loading SCX - Fixed other issues - Rebased on Linus master - All sched_ext kselftests reliably pass now, also verified that the total_bw in debugfs (CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG) is conserved with these patches - Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250613051734.4023260-1-joelagnelf@nvidia.com/ Changes in v3: - Removed code duplication in debugfs.

[PATCH] kunit: fix up const mis-match in many assert functions

by Greg Kroah-Hartman

In many kunit assert functions a const pointer is passed to container_of() and out pops a non-const pointer, which really isn't the correct thing to do at all. Fix this up by correctly marking the casted-to pointer as const to preserve the marking.

[PATCH v5 00/24] ARM64 PMU Partitioning

by Colton Lewis

This series creates a new PMU scheme on ARM, a partitioned PMU that allows reserving a subset of counters for more direct guest access, significantly reducing overhead. More details, including performance benchmarks, can be read in the v1 cover letter linked below. An overview of what this series accomplishes was presented at KVM Forum 2025. Slides [1] and video [2] are linked below. The long duration between v4 and v5 is due to time spent on this project being monopolized preparing this feature for internal production. As a result, there are too many improvements to fully list here, but I will cover the notable ones. v5: * Rebase onto v6.18-rc7. This required pulling some reorganization patches from Anish and Sean that were dependencies from previous versions based on kvm/queue but never made it to upstream. * Ensure FGTs (fine-grained traps) are correctly programmed at vCPU load using kvm_vcpu_load_fgt() and helpers introduced by Oliver Upton. * Cleanly separate concerns of whether the partitioned PMU is enabled for the guest and whether FGT should be enabled. This allows that the capability can be VM-scoped while the implementation detail of whether FGT and context switching are in effect can remain vCPU-scoped. * Shrink the uAPI change. Instead of a cap and corresponding ioctl, the feature can be controlled by just a cap with an argument. The cap is now also VM-scoped and enforces ordering that it should be decided before vCPUs are created. Whether the cap is enabled is now tracked by the new flag KVM_ARCH_ARM_PARTITIONED_PMU_ENABLED. * Improve log messages when partitioning in the PMUv3 driver. * Introduce a global variable armv8pmu_hpmn_max in the PMUv3 driver so KVM code can read if a value was set before the PMU is probed. This is needed to properly test if we have the capability before vCPUs are created. * Make it possible for a VMM to filter the HPMN0 feature bit. * Fix event filter problems with PMEVTYPER handling in writethrough_pmevtyper() and kvm_pmu_apply_event_filter() by using kvm_pmu_event_mask() in the right spots. And if an event is filtered, write the physical register with the appropriate exclude bits set but keep the virtual register exactly what the guest wrote. * Fix register access problems with the PMU register fast path handler by lifting some static PMU access checks from sys_regs.c to use them in the fast path too and make bit masking more strict for better ARM compliance. * Fix the readability and logic of programming the MDCR_EL2 register when entering the guest. Make sure to set the HPME bit to allow host counters to count guest events. Set TPM and TPMCR by default and clear them if partitioning is enabled rather than the previous inverted logic of leaving them clear and setting them if partitioning is not enabled. Make the HPMN field computation more clear. * As part of lazy context switching, do a load when the guest is switching to physical access to ensure any previous writes that only reached the virtual registers reach the physical ones as well and are not clobbered by the next vcpu_put(). * Other fixes and improvements that are too small to mention or left out from my personal notes. v4: https://lore.kernel.org/kvmarm/20250714225917.1396543-1-coltonlewis@google.… v3: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20250626200459.1153955-1-coltonlewis@google.com/ v2: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20250620221326.1261128-1-coltonlewis@google.com/ v1: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20250602192702.2125115-1-coltonlewis@google.com/ [1] https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/kvm-forum/-/raw/main/_attachments/2025/Opti… [2] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRzZ8jMIA6M&list=PLW3ep1uCIRfxwmllXTOA2txfD… Anish Ghulati (1): KVM: arm64: Move arm_{psci,hypercalls}.h to an internal KVM path Colton Lewis (20): arm64: cpufeature: Add cpucap for HPMN0 KVM: arm64: Reorganize PMU functions perf: arm_pmuv3: Introduce method to partition the PMU perf: arm_pmuv3: Generalize counter bitmasks perf: arm_pmuv3: Keep out of guest counter partition KVM: arm64: Set up FGT for Partitioned PMU KVM: arm64: Writethrough trapped PMEVTYPER register KVM: arm64: Use physical PMSELR for PMXEVTYPER if partitioned KVM: arm64: Writethrough trapped PMOVS register KVM: arm64: Write fast path PMU register handlers KVM: arm64: Setup MDCR_EL2 to handle a partitioned PMU KVM: arm64: Account for partitioning in PMCR_EL0 access KVM: arm64: Context swap Partitioned PMU guest registers KVM: arm64: Enforce PMU event filter at vcpu_load() KVM: arm64: Implement lazy PMU context swaps perf: arm_pmuv3: Handle IRQs for Partitioned PMU guest counters KVM: arm64: Inject recorded guest interrupts KVM: arm64: Add KVM_CAP to partition the PMU KVM: selftests: Add find_bit to KVM library KVM: arm64: selftests: Add test case for partitioned PMU Marc Zyngier (1): KVM: arm64: Reorganize PMU includes Sean Christopherson (2): KVM: arm64: Include KVM headers to get forward declarations KVM: arm64: Move ARM specific headers in include/kvm to arch directory Documentation/virt/kvm/api.rst | 24 + arch/arm/include/asm/arm_pmuv3.h | 28 + arch/arm64/include/asm/arm_pmuv3.h | 61 +- .../arm64/include/asm/kvm_arch_timer.h | 2 + arch/arm64/include/asm/kvm_host.h | 24 +- .../arm64/include/asm/kvm_pmu.h | 142 ++++ arch/arm64/include/asm/kvm_types.h | 7 +- .../arm64/include/asm/kvm_vgic.h | 0 arch/arm64/kernel/cpufeature.c | 8 + arch/arm64/kvm/Makefile | 2 +- arch/arm64/kvm/arch_timer.c | 5 +- arch/arm64/kvm/arm.c | 23 +- {include => arch/arm64}/kvm/arm_hypercalls.h | 0 {include => arch/arm64}/kvm/arm_psci.h | 0 arch/arm64/kvm/config.c | 34 +- arch/arm64/kvm/debug.c | 31 +- arch/arm64/kvm/guest.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/kvm/handle_exit.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/Makefile | 6 +- arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/include/hyp/switch.h | 211 ++++- arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/switch.c | 4 +- arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/vhe/switch.c | 4 +- arch/arm64/kvm/hypercalls.c | 4 +- arch/arm64/kvm/pmu-direct.c | 464 +++++++++++ arch/arm64/kvm/pmu-emul.c | 678 +--------------- arch/arm64/kvm/pmu.c | 726 ++++++++++++++++++ arch/arm64/kvm/psci.c | 4 +- arch/arm64/kvm/pvtime.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/kvm/reset.c | 3 +- arch/arm64/kvm/sys_regs.c | 110 +-- arch/arm64/kvm/trace_arm.h | 2 +- arch/arm64/kvm/trng.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/kvm/vgic/vgic-debug.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/kvm/vgic/vgic-init.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/kvm/vgic/vgic-irqfd.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/kvm/vgic/vgic-kvm-device.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/kvm/vgic/vgic-mmio-v2.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/kvm/vgic/vgic-mmio-v3.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/kvm/vgic/vgic-mmio.c | 4 +- arch/arm64/kvm/vgic/vgic-v2.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/kvm/vgic/vgic-v3-nested.c | 3 +- arch/arm64/kvm/vgic/vgic-v3.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/kvm/vgic/vgic-v5.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/tools/cpucaps | 1 + arch/arm64/tools/sysreg | 6 +- drivers/perf/arm_pmuv3.c | 137 +++- include/linux/perf/arm_pmu.h | 1 + include/linux/perf/arm_pmuv3.h | 14 +- include/uapi/linux/kvm.h | 1 + tools/include/uapi/linux/kvm.h | 1 + tools/testing/selftests/kvm/Makefile.kvm | 1 + .../selftests/kvm/arm64/vpmu_counter_access.c | 77 +- tools/testing/selftests/kvm/lib/find_bit.c | 1 + 53 files changed, 2049 insertions(+), 831 deletions(-) rename include/kvm/arm_arch_timer.h => arch/arm64/include/asm/kvm_arch_timer.h (98%) rename include/kvm/arm_pmu.h => arch/arm64/include/asm/kvm_pmu.h (61%) rename include/kvm/arm_vgic.h => arch/arm64/include/asm/kvm_vgic.h (100%) rename {include => arch/arm64}/kvm/arm_hypercalls.h (100%) rename {include => arch/arm64}/kvm/arm_psci.h (100%) create mode 100644 arch/arm64/kvm/pmu-direct.c create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/kvm/lib/find_bit.c base-commit: ac3fd01e4c1efce8f2c054cdeb2ddd2fc0fb150d -- 2.52.0.239.gd5f0c6e74e-goog

[PATCH] watchdog: softlockup: panic when lockup duration exceeds N thresholds

by lirongqing

From: Li RongQing <lirongqing(a)baidu.com> The softlockup_panic sysctl is currently a binary option: panic immediately or never panic on soft lockups. Panicking on any soft lockup, regardless of duration, can be overly aggressive for brief stalls that may be caused by legitimate operations. Conversely, never panicking may allow severe system hangs to persist undetected. Extend softlockup_panic to accept an integer threshold, allowing the kernel to panic only when the normalized lockup duration exceeds N watchdog threshold periods. This provides finer-grained control to distinguish between transient delays and persistent system failures. The accepted values are: - 0: Don't panic (unchanged) - 1: Panic when duration >= 1 * threshold (20s default, original behavior) - N > 1: Panic when duration >= N * threshold (e.g., 2 = 40s, 3 = 60s.) The original behavior is preserved for values 0 and 1, maintaining full backward compatibility while allowing systems to tolerate brief lockups while still catching severe, persistent hangs.

[PATCH v4 0/4] selftests/resctrl: Add Hygon CPUs support and bug fixes

by Xiaochen Shen

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. A division-by-zero crash in SNC detection on some platforms (e.g., Hygon). 2. Missing CPU vendor detection, causing the test to fail with "# Can not get vendor info..." 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. Maintainer notes: ----------------- Patch 1: selftests/resctrl: Fix a division by zero error on Hygon - This is a candidate for backport with "Fixes:" tag. Patch 2: selftests/resctrl: Define CPU vendor IDs as bits to match usage - This is *not* a candidate for backport since it is an enhancement and preparatory patch for patch 3. Patch 3: selftests/resctrl: Add CPU vendor detection for Hygon Patch 4: selftests/resctrl: Fix non-contiguous CBM check for Hygon - Even though they are fixes they are *not* candidates for backport since they are based on another patch series (x86/resctrl: Fix Platform QoS issues for Hygon) which is in process of being added to resctrl. ----------------- Changelog: v4: - Cover letter: add maintainer notes outlining how these patches to be handled (Reinette). - Re-organize the patch series to move original patch 3 to the beginning of series. The patch order has changed between v3 and v4 (Reinette): v3 -> v4 patch #3 -> patch #1 patch #1 -> patch #2 patch #2 -> patch #3 patch #4 -> patch #4 - Patch 2: 1. Resolve a conflict against latest upstream kernel (Reinette). 2.

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.

[PATCH bpf-next v3 0/6] Add cryptographic hash and signature verification kfuncs to BPF

by Daniel Hodges

This series extends BPF's cryptographic capabilities by adding kfuncs for SHA hashing and ECDSA signature verification. These functions enable BPF programs to perform cryptographic operations for use cases such as content verification, integrity checking, and data authentication. BPF programs increasingly need to verify data integrity and authenticity in networking, security, and observability contexts. While BPF already supports symmetric encryption/decryption, it lacks support for: 1. Cryptographic hashing - needed for content verification, fingerprinting, and preparing message digests for signature operations 2. Asymmetric signature verification - needed to verify signed data without requiring the signing key in the datapath These capabilities enable use cases such as: - Verifying signed network packets or application data in XDP/TC programs - Implementing integrity checks in tracing and security monitoring - Building zero-trust security models where BPF programs verify credentials - Content-addressed storage and deduplication in BPF-based filesystems Implementation: The implementation follows BPF's existing crypto patterns: 1. Uses bpf_dynptr for safe memory access without page fault risks 2. Leverages the kernel's existing crypto library (lib/crypto/sha256.c and crypto/ecdsa.c) rather than reimplementing algorithms 3. Provides context-based API for ECDSA to enable key reuse and support multiple program types (syscall, XDP, TC) 4. Includes comprehensive selftests with NIST test vectors Patch 1: bpf: Extend bpf_crypto_type with hash operations - Adds hash operation callbacks to bpf_crypto_type structure - Adds hash() and digestsize() function pointers - Must come before crypto module to maintain bisectability Patch 2: crypto: Add BPF hash algorithm type registration module - Adds bpf_crypto_shash module in crypto/ subsystem - Registers hash type with BPF crypto infrastructure - Enables hash algorithm access through unified bpf_crypto_type interface - Implements callbacks: alloc_tfm, free_tfm, hash, digestsize, get_flags - Manages shash_desc lifecycle internally Patch 3: bpf: Add SHA hash kfunc for cryptographic hashing - Adds bpf_crypto_hash() kfunc for SHA-256/384/512 - Updates bpf_crypto_ctx_create() to support keyless operations - Protected by CONFIG_CRYPTO_HASH2 guards - Uses kernel's crypto library implementations - Fixed u64 types for dynptr sizes to prevent truncation Patch 4: selftests/bpf: Add tests for bpf_crypto_hash kfunc - Tests basic functionality with NIST "abc" test vectors - Validates error handling for invalid parameters (zero-length input) - Ensures correct hash output for SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 - Adds CONFIG_CRYPTO_HASH2 and CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA512 to selftest config - Refactored test setup code to reduce duplication Patch 5: bpf: Add ECDSA signature verification kfuncs - Context-based API: bpf_ecdsa_ctx_create/acquire/release pattern - Supports NIST curves (P-256, P-384, P-521) - Adds bpf_ecdsa_verify() for signature verification - Includes size query functions: keysize, digestsize, maxsize - Enables use in non-sleepable contexts via pre-allocated contexts - Uses crypto_sig API with p1363 format (r || s signatures) Patch 6: selftests/bpf: Add tests for ECDSA signature verification - Tests valid signature acceptance with RFC 6979 test vectors for P-256 - Tests invalid signature rejection - Tests size query functions (keysize, digestsize, maxsize) - Uses well-known NIST test vectors with "sample" message - Adds CONFIG_CRYPTO_ECDSA to selftest config v2: - Fixed redundant __bpf_dynptr_is_rdonly() checks (Vadim) - Added BPF hash algorithm type registration module in crypto/ subsystem - Added CONFIG_CRYPTO_HASH2 guards around bpf_crypto_hash() kfunc and its BTF registration, matching the pattern used for CONFIG_CRYPTO_ECDSA - Added mandatory digestsize validation for hash operations v3: - Fixed patch ordering - header changes now in separate first commit before crypto module to ensure bisectability (bot+bpf-ci) - Fixed type mismatch - changed u32 to u64 for dynptr sizes in bpf_crypto_hash() to match __bpf_dynptr_size() return type (Mykyta) - Added CONFIG_CRYPTO_ECDSA to selftest config (Song) - Refactored test code duplication with setup_skel() helper (Song) - Added copyright notices to all new files Daniel Hodges (6): bpf: Extend bpf_crypto_type with hash operations crypto: Add BPF hash algorithm type registration module bpf: Add SHA hash kfunc for cryptographic hashing selftests/bpf: Add tests for bpf_crypto_hash kfunc bpf: Add ECDSA signature verification kfuncs selftests/bpf: Add tests for ECDSA signature verification kfuncs crypto/Makefile | 3 + crypto/bpf_crypto_shash.c | 95 ++++++ include/linux/bpf_crypto.h | 2 + kernel/bpf/crypto.c | 306 +++++++++++++++++- tools/testing/selftests/bpf/config | 3 + .../selftests/bpf/prog_tests/crypto_hash.c | 147 +++++++++ .../selftests/bpf/prog_tests/ecdsa_verify.c | 75 +++++ .../testing/selftests/bpf/progs/crypto_hash.c | 142 ++++++++ .../selftests/bpf/progs/ecdsa_verify.c | 160 +++++++++ 9 files changed, 925 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) create mode 100644 crypto/bpf_crypto_shash.c create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/bpf/prog_tests/crypto_hash.c create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/bpf/prog_tests/ecdsa_verify.c create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/crypto_hash.c create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/ecdsa_verify.c -- 2.51.0

[PATCH net v3] selftests: net: fix "buffer overflow detected" for tap.c

by Alice C. Munduruca

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. TAP version 13 1..3 # Starting 3 tests from 1 test cases. # RUN tap.test_packet_valid_udp_gso ... *** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated # test_packet_valid_udp_gso: Test terminated by assertion # FAIL tap.test_packet_valid_udp_gso not ok 1 tap.test_packet_valid_udp_gso # RUN tap.test_packet_valid_udp_csum ... *** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated # test_packet_valid_udp_csum: Test terminated by assertion # FAIL tap.test_packet_valid_udp_csum not ok 2 tap.test_packet_valid_udp_csum # RUN tap.test_packet_crash_tap_invalid_eth_proto ... *** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated # test_packet_crash_tap_invalid_eth_proto: Test terminated by assertion # FAIL tap.test_packet_crash_tap_invalid_eth_proto not ok 3 tap.test_packet_crash_tap_invalid_eth_proto # FAILED: 0 / 3 tests passed. # Totals: pass:0 fail:3 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0 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`. Additionally, given that IFLA_IFNAME also expects a null-terminated string, callers of rtaddr_add_str{,sz}() could simply use the rtaddr_add_strsz() variant. (which has been renamed to remove the trailing `sz`) memset() has been used for this function since it is unchecked and thus circumvents the issue discussed in the previous paragraph.

[PATCH net 0/2] selftests: drv-net: psp: fix templated test names in psp.py

by Daniel Zahka

The templated test names in psp.py had a bug that was not exposed until 80970e0fc07e ("selftests: net: py: extract the case generation logic") changed the order of test case evaluation and test case name extraction. The test cases created in psp_ip_ver_test_builder() and ipver_test_builder() were only assigning formatted names to the test cases they returned, when the test itself was run. This series moves the test case naming to the point where the test function is created.

[PATCH v2 0/5] selftests/futex: fix the issue of abnormal test results caused by thread timing

by Yuwen Chen

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 Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240918231102.234253-1-edliaw@google.com/

[PATCH] selftests/mm: Fix thread state check in uffd-unit-tests

by Wake Liu

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.

[PATCH 00/46] Allow inlining C helpers into Rust when using LTO

by Alice Ryhl

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.

[PATCH v3 0/3] KVM ARM64 pre_fault_memory

by Jack Thomson

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.

[PATCH 0/3] selftests/futex: fix the issue of abnormal test results caused by thread timing

by Yuwen Chen

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. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240918231102.234253-1-edliaw@google.com/

[PATCH net-next v7 0/9] Add support for providers with large rx buffer

by Pavel Begunkov

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.

[PATCH v4 0/3] VMM can handle guest SEA via KVM_EXIT_ARM_SEA

by Jiaqi Yan

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.

[PATCH v3 0/4] selftests/resctrl: Add Hygon CPUs support and bug fixes

by Xiaochen Shen

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) Xiaochen Shen (4): selftests/resctrl: Define CPU vendor IDs as bits to match usage selftests/resctrl: Add CPU vendor detection for Hygon selftests/resctrl: Fix a division by zero error on Hygon selftests/resctrl: Fix non-contiguous CBM check for Hygon tools/testing/selftests/resctrl/cat_test.c | 6 ++-- tools/testing/selftests/resctrl/resctrl.h | 8 ++++-- .../testing/selftests/resctrl/resctrl_tests.c | 28 +++++++++++++------ tools/testing/selftests/resctrl/resctrlfs.c | 10 +++++++ 4 files changed, 39 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) -- 2.47.3

[PATCH v5 0/7] platform/chrome: Fix a possible UAF via revocable

by Tzung-Bi Shih

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.

[PATCH] selftests: iommu: fix Warray-bounds in get_hw_info test

by Kathara Sasikumar

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.

[PATCH v25 00/28] riscv control-flow integrity for usermode

by Deepak Gupta via B4 Relay

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 How to test this series ======================= Toolchain --------- $ git clone git@github.com:sifive/riscv-gnu-toolchain.git -b cfi-dev $ riscv-gnu-toolchain/configure --prefix=<path-to-where-to-build> --with-arch=rv64gc_zicfilp_zicfiss --enable-linux --disable-gdb --with-extra-multilib-test="rv64gc_zicfilp_zicfiss-lp64d:-static" $ make -j$(nproc) Qemu ---- Get the lastest qemu $ cd qemu $ mkdir build $ cd build $ ../configure --target-list=riscv64-softmmu $ make -j$(nproc) Opensbi ------- $ git clone git@github.com:deepak0414/opensbi.git -b v6_cfi_spec_split_opensbi $ make CROSS_COMPILE=<your riscv toolchain> -j$(nproc) PLATFORM=generic Linux ----- Running defconfig is fine.

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. --- Changes in v25: - Link to v24: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251204-v5_user_cfi_series-v24-0-ada7a3ba14dc@ri… Changes in v24: - Link to v23: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251112-v5_user_cfi_series-v23-0-b55691eacf4f@ri… Changes in v23: -

[PATCH v3 0/7] seccomp: support nested listeners

by Alexander Mikhalitsyn

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].

[PATCH RESEND] selftests: gpio: correctly check the type of /dev/gpiochipX

/dev/gpiochipX is a character device, not a directory, so we should use "test -c" instead of "test -d" to check for its existence; otherwise, the current check will not work correctly when /dev/gpiochipX is left over (e.g., as a stale device node).

[PATCH bpf v5 0/2] bpf: fix bpf_d_path() helper prototype

by Shuran Liu

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.

[PATCH] kunit: make FAULT_TEST default to n when PANIC_ON_OOPS

by Brendan Jackman

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.

[PATCH bpf 1/2] bpf: Fix truncated dmabuf iterator reads

by T.J. Mercier

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") Signed-off-by: T.J.

[PATCH v2 0/3] selftests/resctrl: Add Hygon CPUs support and bug fixes

by Xiaochen Shen

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.

[PATCH net-next 0/4] (no cover subject)

by Breno Leitao

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. --- Breno Leitao (4): netconsole: extract message fragmentation into send_msg_udp() netconsole: Add configfs attribute for direct message sending selftests/netconsole: Switch to configfs send_msg interface Documentation: netconsole: Document send_msg configfs attribute Documentation/networking/netconsole.rst | 40 +++++++++++++++ drivers/net/netconsole.c | 59 ++++++++++++++++++---- .../selftests/drivers/net/netcons_sysdata.sh | 2 +- 3 files changed, 91 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) --- base-commit: ab084f0b8d6d2ee4b1c6a28f39a2a7430bdfa7f0 change-id: 20251127-netconsole_send_msg-89813956dc23 Best regards, -- Breno Leitao <leitao(a)debian.org>

[PATCH net-next v7 0/5] net: devmem: improve cpu cost of RX token management

by Bobby Eshleman

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: Before: 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). To: David S.

[PATCH kvm-next V11 0/7] Add NUMA mempolicy support for KVM guest-memfd

by Shivank Garg

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 == Changelog == - v1,v2: Extended the KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD IOCTL to pass mempolicy. - v3: Introduced fbind() syscall for VMM memory-placement configuration. - v4-v6: Current approach using shared_policy support and vm_ops (based on suggestions from David [6] and guest_memfd bi-weekly upstream call discussion [7]). - v7: Use inodes to store NUMA policy instead of file [8]. - v8: Rebase on top of Fuad's V12: Host mmaping for guest_memfd memory. - v9: Rebase on top of Fuad's V13 and incorporate review comments - V10: Rebase on top of Fuad's V17. Use latest guest_memfd inode patch from Ackerley (with David's review comments). Use newer kmem_cache_create() API variant with arg parameter (Vlastimil) - V11: Rebase on kvm-next, remove RFC tag, use Ackerley's latest patch and fix a rcu race bug during kvm module unload.

[PATCH net 0/4] mptcp: misc fixes for v6.19-rc1

by Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)

Here are various unrelated fixes: - Patches 1-2: ignore unknown in-kernel PM endpoint flags instead of pretending they are supported. A fix for v5.7. - Patch 3: avoid potential unnecessary rtx timer expiration. A fix for v5.15. - Patch 4: avoid a deadlock on fallback in case of SKB creation failure while re-injecting. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Baerts (NGI0) <matttbe(a)kernel.org> --- Matthieu Baerts (NGI0) (2): mptcp: pm: ignore unknown endpoint flags selftests: mptcp: pm: ensure unknown flags are ignored Paolo Abeni (2): mptcp: schedule rtx timer only after pushing data mptcp: avoid deadlock on fallback while reinjecting include/uapi/linux/mptcp.h | 1 + net/mptcp/pm_netlink.c | 3 ++- net/mptcp/protocol.c | 22 ++++++++++++++-------- tools/testing/selftests/net/mptcp/pm_netlink.sh | 4 ++++ tools/testing/selftests/net/mptcp/pm_nl_ctl.c | 11 +++++++++++ 5 files changed, 32 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) --- base-commit: 0373d5c387f24de749cc22e694a14b3a7c7eb515 change-id: 20251205-net-mptcp-misc-fixes-6-19-rc1-5174bd3df981 Best regards, -- Matthieu Baerts (NGI0) <matttbe(a)kernel.org>
