git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Fix several tracefs files that did not take the trace_array reference A trace instance can be created and destroyed in the tracefs "instances" directory via mkdir and rmdir respectively. The instance is represented by a trace_array descriptor. Most tracefs files pass the trace_array as the private data of the inode to the open/read/write functions. Since there is no locking between the time a task opens a file and the deletion of the instance (and the freeing of the trace_array), each open needs to get a reference to the trace_array and each close must remove it. An instance can't be removed if there's any reference taken on its trace_array. The open function uses trace_array_get() that takes a lock (preventing removal of instances) and iterates the list of all existing trace_arrays and if it finds a match, it takes the reference and releases the lock. If it doesn't find a match, it causes the open to return -ENODEV. There were some added files that did not take the trace_array reference on open that needed to be fixed. Sashiko also correctly pointed out that there were some files that took an address of an field or element of the trace_array which had a pointer back to the trace_array to take its reference on open. But this leaves a slight race between referencing this element to get the trace_array as the element itself could be freed. To solve this, some helper functions were created to look for trace_arrays with this field or element in the search so that the element did not have to be dereferenced before the trace_array's reference was taken. - Add a lock around ftrace_ops initialization When a ftrace_ops is first used by ftrace, some internal initialization is performed on the ops. But if multiple tasks were calling functions that did this initialization, it could race and perform doing the initialization more than once, corrupting the internal data. Add a lock in the initialization code to prevent this from happening. - Fix splice reads on mmapped buffers The logic in the ring buffer splice code for mmapped buffers is supposed to do a copy of the memory as the mapped buffers can't be given to splice. But there was an if statement within the copy code that would return a -1 if a request for a full page was done and it wasn't a partial read. This is because this logic was written before mmapped buffers existed and this case didn't make sense at the time. For mmapped buffers it makes perfect sense and by returning early can drop a lot of pages unnecessarily. - Have the persistent ring buffer validation check nr_subbufs Sashiko reported that the validation code was relying on the saved nr_subbufs to match the calculated nr_pages + 1 and if they were off, that the code could cause corruption. Sashiko is correct, and the saved nr_subbufs should be validated before assuming it is correct. - Do not allow more than one instance with the same name on cmdline If an admin were to add more than one trace instances with the same name they all would be created, but only the first one would be accessible via tracefs. This used to not be allowed but some restructuring of code has since made it possible. - Fix the race between subbuf resize and trace_pipe_raw readers If a task was reading trace_pipe_raw while another task was changing the ring buffer subbuf size, it could crash the reader. The trace_pipe_raw readers do get their own copy of the page from the buffer, but the code needs some restructuring to not have the resize of the subbuffers cause issues. - Cap the size of the mapped (static) ring buffer nr_pages The meta data used for ring buffer mapped buffers is 32 bit in size. A normal ring buffer could (in theory) have more than 4 billion pages. But this is not allowed by mapped buffers, so enforce it. * tag 'trace-v7.3-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: ring-buffer: Use a macro for static buffer bits tracing: Fix comment in tracing_buffers_splice_read() ring-buffer: Prevent truncation of nr_pages / nr_subbufs ring-buffer: Cap static ring buffer nr_pages tracing: Fix subbuf resize races with trace_pipe_raw readers tracing: Fix to avoid creating trace instances with duplicate names ring-buffer: Add checking nr_subbufs to persistent ring buffer validation ring-buffer: Allow splice reads on static buffers tracing: Take trace_array reference when opening options file ftrace: Synchronize the initialization of ftrace_ops ftrace: Take trace_array reference before accessing its ftrace_ops tracing: Have show_event_filters/triggers files take trace array ref

2026-09-05bpf: Reject non-scalar bpf_loop iteration countsKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi2-1/+2
bpf_loop() declares its nr_loops argument as ARG_ANYTHING. Privileged programs may pass pointer values to such arguments, so check_func_arg() lets a pointer-valued R1 reach the helper-specific checks. Since commit bb124da69c47 ("bpf: keep track of max number of bpf_loop callback iterations"), the verifier marks R1 precise and reads its upper bound to limit callback simulation. Precision backtracking only accepts scalar registers, so passing a pointer instead triggers the "backtracking misuse" verifier warning. Kernels with panic_on_warn enabled subsequently panic. Introduce ARG_SCALAR for helper arguments that only accept scalar values and use it for bpf_loop() nr_loops. Generic helper argument validation then rejects pointers before loop inlining and precision processing.

2026-09-04treewide: refresh kmalloc_obj() conversionsKees Cook18-39/+35
This is another run of the Coccinelle script for converting kmalloc() family of allocations to kmalloc_obj() via the existing rules in scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci This catches both the set of kmalloc() uses added since the first kmalloc_obj() conversions in v7.0 and adds a large group missed in the first pass due to Coccinelle not interacting well with the cleanup.h scoped_...() family of macros[1]. I worked around this with spatch's "--macro-file" argument to a file with all the scoped_...() macros mapped to Coccinelle's YACFE_ITERATOR[2] as that was the closest viable control flow indicator I could find.

Although ring_buffer_per_cpu::nr_pages is defined as unsigned long, it is capped to 32-bits in a few places, limiting the operations possible on a very large buffer. Use `unsigned long` where appropriate and prevent truncation of values using nr_pages (or nr_subbufs). While at it, subbuf_size must be at least `unsigned int`. Note that persistent, remote and user-mapped ring buffers are capping the number of pages to 30 bits already, making "int" safe in many places.

2026-09-04tracing: Fix subbuf resize races with trace_pipe_raw readersVincent Donnefort4-106/+141
Concurrent subbuffer resizes may crash trace_pipe_raw readers or leak uninitialized memory to userspace due to stale size values. Modify ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() to handle the resizing of an existing buffer_data_read_page if necessary and add a new ring_buffer_read_page_size(). This new function enables ring-buffer buffer_data_read_page users to not call the racy ring_buffer_subbuf_size_get(). This makes the spare_size member of ftrace_buffer_info redundant. Finally, handle buffer_data_read_page/reader_page order discrepancy in ring_buffer_read_page(). On a mismatch simply copy manually the data to the buffer_data_read_page.

2026-09-04bpf: Preserve inner map identity in callback framesKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi1-0/+10
Callback frame constructors initialize map-typed argument registers with __mark_reg_known_zero() and then restore map_ptr. This clears map_uid, which is the only field distinguishing inner maps that share an inner_map_meta template. When a timer callback invokes bpf_for_each_map_elem() on a second inner map, both the saved first map and the second map value can reach the nested callback as the same template with map_uid zero. bpf_timer_init() then accepts pairing the timer from the second map with the first map. The runtime records the first map in the timer without taking a reference. Freeing that map does not find the timer stored in the second map, so a later timer callback dereferences the freed map. Copy map_uid from the same caller register as map_ptr when constructing for-each, timer/workqueue, and task-work callback arguments. The existing identity check can then reject mismatched inner maps while allowing a callback value to be paired with its actual map.

2026-09-04bpf: Mark NULL kptr stores preciseKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi1-2/+9
check_map_kptr_access() permits a scalar store into an untrusted kptr field only when the register is known to contain zero. Unlike other verifier checks whose outcome depends on a scalar value, it does not mark that register precise. A state checkpoint reached with an imprecise zero can therefore prune a second path that reaches the store with an arbitrary nonzero scalar. The program can write attacker-controlled bits into the kptr field and load them back as a PTR_TO_BTF_ID. Call mark_chain_precision() before accepting a known-zero register. This forces state equivalence to compare its scalar range and makes the verifier visit and reject a path carrying a nonzero value.

2026-09-04bpf: Cancel special fields when recycling rhtab elementsNuoqi Gui1-14/+3
rhtab_map_update_existing() and rhtab_delete_elem() call bpf_obj_free_fields() when replacing or deleting a value. These map operations can run from BPF programs in NMI context, where releasing a referenced kptr or another complex field is not generally safe. Array and hash maps avoid that problem by cancelling only the asynchronous fields which can be stopped safely in the caller context. Other ownership state remains attached to the allocation until its memory allocator destructor performs the final cleanup. Use bpf_obj_cancel_fields() for the corresponding rhtab paths as well. This cancels timers, workqueues, and task work while allowing rhtab_mem_dtor() to release referenced kptrs when the allocation is eventually destroyed.

2026-09-04bpf: Preserve special fields in recycled rhtab elementsYuan Chen1-1/+0
rhtab_map_update_elem() initializes special fields after obtaining an element from bpf_mem_cache_alloc(). The allocator can return a fresh, zeroed unit, or recycle one from its RCU-pending lists before the registered destructor has run. A BPF program can retain a map-value pointer after deleting its element and initialize and arm a timer through that pointer. If the deleted unit is recycled, check_and_init_map_value() clears the only pointer to the timer. Neither a later deletion nor rhtab_mem_dtor() can then cancel it, and the callback can run with its key and value pointing into freed memory. Do not reinitialize special fields on insertion. Fresh allocator units are already zeroed. For recycled units, the special fields are ownership state that must remain visible to the eventual destructor. copy_map_value() already skips those fields, matching the non-preallocated hash-map path and the lifecycle established by commit 275c30bcee66 ("bpf: Don't reinit map value in prealloc_lru_pop").

2026-09-04bpf: Clear NON_OWN_REF after RCU protection endsKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi1-4/+14
A local kptr load of an object containing a graph node is marked MEM_RCU and NON_OWN_REF while protected by RCU. When the last RCU read-side critical section ends, invalidate_rcu_protected_refs() removes MEM_RCU and marks the pointer PTR_UNTRUSTED, but leaves NON_OWN_REF set. The stale flag lets graph kfunc argument checks continue treating the pointer as a live borrowed reference. In particular, bpf_rbtree_remove() can accept a pointer after its protection ended and return it as a new owning reference, even though the object may already have been freed. Clear NON_OWN_REF when an RCU-protected pointer is demoted. A spin lock also provides implicit RCU protection, so invalidate non-owning references before demoting RCU-protected pointers when releasing the lock. Otherwise the demotion would clear the flag before invalidate_non_owning_refs() can find and invalidate those aliases. The demoted pointer remains available for fault-protected reads. Exempt such reads from the allocated-object reference-state assertion; writes through a fault-prone pointer are already rejected, and bpf_may_fault_on_deref() makes the surviving loads use BPF_PROBE_MEM.

2026-09-04bpf: Keep refcount_acquire nullable for borrowed RCU kptrsNing Ding1-1/+1
bpf_refcount_acquire() is fallible for a borrowed reference because the object may have reached a zero refcount. The verifier therefore keeps KF_RET_NULL on the return value unless the argument is an owning reference. An RCU-protected load of a local kptr is marked MEM_ALLOC, but it only receives NON_OWN_REF when the pointee contains a graph node. A refcounted object without a graph node consequently looks like an owning reference even though the loaded register has no acquired reference state. If the program drops the last real reference while remaining in the RCU critical section, refcount_inc_not_zero() returns NULL while the verifier treats the result as non-NULL. Only classify the argument as owning when it is backed by a verifier-tracked reference. This retains the non-NULL return for pointers from bpf_obj_new(), bpf_kptr_xchg(), or an earlier successful acquisition, while requiring a NULL check for borrowed RCU kptrs.

2026-09-04bpf: Require MEM_PERCPU for percpu kptr storesKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi1-0/+7
map_kptr_match_type() treats perm_flags as the set of register type flags that a kptr field permits. Adding MEM_PERCPU to that set for BPF_KPTR_PERCPU does not require the source register to carry it, however. The subset test consequently accepts both a plain bpf_obj_new() allocation and a referenced kernel pointer into a __percpu_kptr map field. Loads from the field are always marked MEM_PERCPU. Consumers then treat the stored value as the cookie returned by bpf_percpu_obj_new(): per-CPU pointer helpers relocate it, and map teardown selects the per-CPU free path. A plain allocation can therefore provide an arbitrary kernel read/write, while a kernel pointer can be relocated into an invalid address or sent through a missing destructor. Require the source MEM_PERCPU flag to match the destination field kind. This preserves valid bpf_percpu_obj_new() stores and rejects both the program-BTF and kernel-BTF variants.

2026-09-04bpf: Mark the zero register precise for a register-form NULL checkEduard Zingerman1-0/+9
check_cond_jmp_op() accepts "if rA <op> rB" as a NULL check for a nullable pointer rA when rB is a scalar known to be zero, lifts PTR_MAYBE_NULL from rA in the corresponding branch and does not mark rB precise. Consider the following program: r0 = bpf_get_prandom_u32(); r6 = 1; /* the r6 == 0 path is explored first */ if (r0 == 0) goto 1f; r6 = 0; 1: r0 = bpf_map_lookup_elem(map, &0); /* absent, NULL at runtime */ if (r0 == r6) goto 2f; /* taken as a NULL check for r0 */ *(u8 *)(r0 + 0); /* verifier: map value; runtime: zero */ 2: return 0; The r6 == 0 path is explored first and the dereference is accepted. The r6 == 1 path is pruned at the checkpoint recorded for (1), so the comparison is never verified with a non-zero r6. At runtime a failed lookup returns NULL, NULL != 1 takes the non-NULL edge and the program dereferences a pointer that is zero.

2026-09-04bpf: Don't resurrect a scalar id dropped by collect_linked_regs()Eduard Zingerman1-4/+10
check_cond_jmp_op() copies the compared registers into env->{false,true}_reg{1,2} before collect_linked_regs() runs and copies those snapshots back into both branch states afterwards. collect_linked_regs() records at most LINKED_REGS_MAX members of a linked registers group in the jump history and calls clear_scalar_id() for every member that does not fit. The compared register is not exempt from that. As a consequence, sync_linked_regs() might adjust ranges for more registers than bpf_bt_sync_linked_regs() can propagate precision to. Collect the linked registers before the snapshots are taken instead. This might lead to some unnecessary clear_scalar_id's, but from previous testing situations with many linked registers are extremely rare.

2026-09-04bpf: Don't infer non-NULL from a pointer with an unbounded offsetEduard Zingerman1-0/+7
reg_not_null() decides that a register holds a non-NULL value by looking at its type alone. For pointer types that allow arithmetic the type only guarantees a non-NULL base, in case of an unbound offset the runtime offset value might still add up to NULL. Consider the followng program: r6 = bpf_map_lookup_elem(map, &0); /* present */ if (r6 == 0) return 0; r7 = bpf_map_lookup_elem(map, &1); /* absent, NULL at runtime */ r8 = r7; r8 -= r6; /* pointer - pointer: unknown scalar, -r6 */ r8 <<= 1; r8 >>= 1; /* any non-negative offset is accepted by */ /* check_reg_sane_offset_ptr() */ r6 += r8; /* verifier: map value; runtime: zero */ if (r7 != r6) return 0; *(u8 *)(r7 + 0); /* r7 is inferred non-NULL, both are zero */ At runtime both registers are zero, the comparison is true and the load faults with NULL pointer dereference.

2026-09-04futex: Prevent rcuwait use-after-free during requeue PIYao Kai1-2/+10
On PREEMPT_RT, FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI can trigger a KASAN report (slab-out-of-bounds) in futex_requeue_pi_complete() invocation of rcuwait_wake_up(). The futex_q used by futex_wait_requeue_pi() is allocated on the waiter's stack. An early wakeup can race with a PI requeue as follows: waiter requeue task ------ ------------ futex_wait_requeue_pi() futex_do_wait() schedule() futex_requeue futex_proxy_trylock_atomic() futex_requeue_pi_prepare() Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS * timeout/ signal wakes waiter * futex_requeue_pi_wakeup_sync() Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT requeue_pi_wake_futex futex_requeue_pi_complete() cmpxchg Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_LOCKED rcuwait_wait_event() if (atomic_read(&q->requeue_state) != Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT) break /* no schedule() */ /* q.pi_state->owner == current */ futex_private_hash_put() /* return from syscall */ rcuwait_wake_up(&q->requeue_wait) /* q is gone */ futex_requeue_pi_complete() publishes Q_REQUEUE_PI_LOCKED before calling rcuwait_wake_up(). The waiter observes this state in rcuwait_wait_event() before invoking schedule() in rcuwait_wait_event(). Here, the waiter is free leave the syscall before requeue task can complete the wake. To address this race skip rcuwait_wake_up() in the Q_REQUEUE_PI_LOCKED case. This state is only published by requeue_pi_wake_futex(), which saves q->task before futex_requeue_pi_complete() and wakes the waiter via wake_up_state(). This wake is intended to wake the waiter from its futex_do_wait() sleep. If the waiter is still sleeping there, it can not get into the Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT state (and require this removed wake). Should the waiter be woken up from futex_do_wait() by other means (as in this example) and sleep in futex_requeue_pi_wakeup_sync() then the wake_up_state() from requeue_pi_wake_futex() will wake it, too. Should the waiter task terminate before wake_up_state() had a chance to wake the task then the task pointer does not become invalid because the futex_hash_bucket::lock is held and the task pointer is RCU protected.

2026-09-04futex: Provide rt_mutex_.*_schedule() equivalents for futex schedulingSebastian Andrzej Siewior3-13/+21
There is rt_mutex_{pre|post}_schedule() around rt_mutex_wait_proxy_lock() to ensure that sched_submit_work()/ sched_update_worker() is invoked before we schedule out and block on rt_mutex while waiting for it become available. The reason is that blocking on rt_mutex assigns a pi_waiter for the PI chain and sched_submit_work() will also assign a pi_waiter if it blocks on lock but a this point we already have a waiter assigned. We can't skip sched_submit_work() entirely because I/O relies on the fact that I/O queue is flushed while it blocks on a sleeping lock. Therefore sched_submit_work() is moved before we block on the lock. Sleeping lock in this context means mutex or rw_semaphore not spinlock_t on PREEMPT_RT. Because the mutex abstraction on PREEMPT_RT uses the same abstraction as the futex proxy lock, the futex code ended up using rt_mutex_{pre|post}_schedule(), too. Using it is/ was just to keep the task_struct::sched_rt_mutex assertion happy. Futex proxy lock is used only in the syscall context of a task. At this point it never got any I/O that needs to be flushed and it can't be a workqueue that needs to notify that it will be scheduled out. Therefore sched_submit_work() does nothing here. By mistake futex_wait_requeue_pi() -> rt_mutex_wait_proxy_lock() did not get the rt_mutex_{pre|post}_schedule() annotation. This was not noticed because in this callchain the lock is (usually) not contended and so rt_mutex_slowlock_block() does not schedule, triggering the assert. Adding rt_mutex_pre_schedule() here looks wrong (as noted by PeterZ) because at this point there is a pi_waiter recorded and invoking sched_submit_work() with a possible lock contention would be wrong. Add rt_mutex_futex_{pre|post}_schedule() which toggles the sched_rt_mutex assert and does not involve sched_submit_work(). Add asserts here to ensure that sched_submit_work() would do nothing. Use it only in futex proxy lock case which is rt_mutex_wait_proxy_lock(). Remove it from futex_lock_pi().

2026-09-03bpf: Reject legacy packet loads from callbacksKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi1-0/+17
check_ld_abs() models a failed BPF_LD_ABS or BPF_LD_IND in a subprogram as an implicit return with R0 set to zero. It calls prepare_func_exit() to explore this synthesized path. When the load is reached directly from a synchronous callback, prepare_func_exit() enforces the callback return contract and marks R0 precise. R0 is not derived from a real instruction on this path, so precision backtracking reaches the callback call with R0 still requested and triggers the "callback unexpected regs" verifier bug. A privileged program loader can therefore cause a verifier warning and an -EFAULT BPF_PROG_LOAD. These legacy packet-load instructions are deprecated. Reject them from callbacks rather than complicating their implicit-return model. Check all active frames before constructing the implicit return so nested static subprograms cannot hide the callback context. Global functions are verified independently with a fresh frame zero, so an active-frame check cannot identify a global function called from a callback. Also check the complete subprogram call graph during stack-depth validation and reject a function containing a legacy load when any caller is a callback. This covers global and static descendants without making has_ld_abs transitive, preserving its per-function BTF return-type check. Ordinary uses outside callbacks remain supported.

2026-09-03bpf: Mark faultable stack helpers as sleepableKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi1-0/+2
The faultable variants of bpf_get_stack() and bpf_get_task_stack() pass may_fault=true into the common stack collection code. Resolving user-space build IDs may then call build_id_parse_file() and block on filesystem reads. Neither helper prototype sets might_sleep. Since prototype selection uses the sleepability of the whole program, the verifier can still allow these helpers from a non-sleepable region within that program, such as an explicit RCU or preemption-disabled region. The task-stack helper can also be called from a non-sleepable timer callback of a sleepable program. Mark both faultable prototypes as sleepable. The existing helper context check then rejects these calls while continuing to allow them in genuinely sleepable contexts.
