2026-04-03sched/fair: Prevent negative lag increase during delayed dequeueVincent Guittot1-22/+34
Delayed dequeue feature aims to reduce the negative lag of a dequeued task while sleeping but it can happens that newly enqueued tasks will move backward the avg vruntime and increase its negative lag. When the delayed dequeued task wakes up, it has more neg lag compared to being dequeued immediately or to other tasks that have been dequeued just before theses new enqueues. Ensure that the negative lag of a delayed dequeued task doesn't increase during its delayed dequeued phase while waiting for its neg lag to diseappear. Similarly, we remove any positive lag that the delayed dequeued task could have gain during thsi period. Short slice tasks are particularly impacted in overloaded system.

2026-04-03sched: Handle blocked-waiter migration (and return migration)John Stultz1-38/+194
Add logic to handle migrating a blocked waiter to a remote cpu where the lock owner is runnable. Additionally, as the blocked task may not be able to run on the remote cpu, add logic to handle return migration once the waiting task is given the mutex. Because tasks may get migrated to where they cannot run, also modify the scheduling classes to avoid sched class migrations on mutex blocked tasks, leaving find_proxy_task() and related logic to do the migrations and return migrations. This was split out from the larger proxy patch, and significantly reworked.

2026-04-03sched: Add logic to zap balance callbacks if we pick againJohn Stultz1-2/+34
With proxy-exec, a task is selected to run via pick_next_task(), and then if it is a mutex blocked task, we call find_proxy_task() to find a runnable owner. If the runnable owner is on another cpu, we will need to migrate the selected donor task away, after which we will pick_again can call pick_next_task() to choose something else. However, in the first call to pick_next_task(), we may have had a balance_callback setup by the class scheduler. After we pick again, its possible pick_next_task_fair() will be called which calls sched_balance_newidle() and sched_balance_rq(). This will throw a warning: [ 8.796467] rq->balance_callback && rq->balance_callback != &balance_push_callback [ 8.796467] WARNING: CPU: 32 PID: 458 at kernel/sched/sched.h:1750 sched_balance_rq+0xe92/0x1250 ...

Once the task is migrated away and we pick again, we haven't processed any balance callbacks, so rq->balance_callback is not in the same state as it was the first time pick_next_task was called. To handle this, add a zap_balance_callbacks() helper function which cleans up the balance callbacks without running them. This should be ok, as we are effectively undoing the state set in the first call to pick_next_task(), and when we pick again, the new callback can be configured for the donor task actually selected.

2026-04-03sched/locking: Add special p->blocked_on==PROXY_WAKING value for proxy ↵John Stultz3-9/+25
return-migration As we add functionality to proxy execution, we may migrate a donor task to a runqueue where it can't run due to cpu affinity. Thus, we must be careful to ensure we return-migrate the task back to a cpu in its cpumask when it becomes unblocked. Peter helpfully provided the following example with pictures: "Suppose we have a ww_mutex cycle: ,-+-* Mutex-1 <-. Task-A ---' | | ,-- Task-B `-> Mutex-2 *-+-' Where Task-A holds Mutex-1 and tries to acquire Mutex-2, and where Task-B holds Mutex-2 and tries to acquire Mutex-1. Then the blocked_on->owner chain will go in circles. Task-A -> Mutex-2 ^ | | v Mutex-1 <- Task-B We need two things: - find_proxy_task() to stop iterating the circle; - the woken task to 'unblock' and run, such that it can back-off and re-try the transaction. Now, the current code [without this patch] does: __clear_task_blocked_on(); wake_q_add(); And surely clearing ->blocked_on is sufficient to break the cycle. Suppose it is Task-B that is made to back-off, then we have: Task-A -> Mutex-2 -> Task-B (no further blocked_on) and it would attempt to run Task-B. Or worse, it could directly pick Task-B and run it, without ever getting into find_proxy_task(). Now, here is a problem because Task-B might not be runnable on the CPU it is currently on; and because !task_is_blocked() we don't get into the proxy paths, so nobody is going to fix this up. Ideally we would have dequeued Task-B alongside of clearing ->blocked_on, but alas, [the lock ordering prevents us from getting the task_rq_lock() and] spoils things." Thus we need more than just a binary concept of the task being blocked on a mutex or not. So allow setting blocked_on to PROXY_WAKING as a special value which specifies the task is no longer blocked, but needs to be evaluated for return migration *before* it can be run. This will then be used in a later patch to handle proxy return-migration.

So introduce the task::blocked_lock, which nests under the mutex::wait_lock in the locking order, and rework the locking to use it.

2026-04-03sched: Fix potentially missing balancing with Proxy ExecJohn Stultz1-1/+23
K Prateek pointed out that with Proxy Exec, we may have cases where we context switch in __schedule(), while the donor remains the same. This could cause balancing issues, since the put_prev_set_next() logic short-cuts if (prev == next). With proxy-exec prev is the previous donor, and next is the next donor. Should the donor remain the same, but different tasks are picked to actually run, the shortcut will have avoided enqueuing the sched class balance callback. So, if we are context switching, add logic to catch the same-donor case, and trigger the put_prev/set_next calls to ensure the balance callbacks get enqueued.

2026-04-03sched: Make class_schedulers avoid pushing current, and get rid of ↵John Stultz3-29/+28
proxy_tag_curr() With proxy-execution, the scheduler selects the donor, but for blocked donors, we end up running the lock owner. This caused some complexity, because the class schedulers make sure to remove the task they pick from their pushable task lists, which prevents the donor from being migrated, but there wasn't then anything to prevent rq->curr from being migrated if rq->curr != rq->donor. This was sort of hacked around by calling proxy_tag_curr() on the rq->curr task if we were running something other then the donor. proxy_tag_curr() did a dequeue/enqueue pair on the rq->curr task, allowing the class schedulers to remove it from their pushable list. The dequeue/enqueue pair was wasteful, and additonally K Prateek highlighted that we didn't properly undo things when we stopped proxying, leaving the lock owner off the pushable list. After some alternative approaches were considered, Peter suggested just having the RT/DL classes just avoid migrating when task_on_cpu(). So rework pick_next_pushable_dl_task() and the rt pick_next_pushable_task() functions so that they skip over the first pushable task if it is on_cpu. Then just drop all of the proxy_tag_curr() logic.

2026-04-02crash_dump/dm-crypt: don't print in arch-specific codeCoiby Xu1-2/+5
Patch series "kdump: Enable LUKS-encrypted dump target support in ARM64 and PowerPC", v5. CONFIG_CRASH_DM_CRYPT has been introduced to support LUKS-encrypted device dump target by addressing two challenges [1], - Kdump kernel may not be able to decrypt the LUKS partition. For some machines, a system administrator may not have a chance to enter the password to decrypt the device in kdump initramfs after the 1st kernel crashes - LUKS2 by default use the memory-hard Argon2 key derivation function which is quite memory-consuming compared to the limited memory reserved for kdump. To also enable this feature for ARM64 and PowerPC, we need to add a device tree property dmcryptkeys [2] as similar to elfcorehdr to pass the memory address of the stored info of dm-crypt keys to the kdump kernel. This patch (of 3): When the vmcore dumping target is not a LUKS-encrypted target, it's expected that there is no dm-crypt key thus no need to return -ENOENT. Also print more logs in crash_load_dm_crypt_keys. The benefit is arch-specific code can be more succinct.

2026-04-02bpf: Simulate branches to prune based on range violationsHarishankar Vishwanathan1-35/+51
This patch fixes the invariant violations that can happen after we refine ranges & tnum based on an incorrectly-detected branch condition. For example, the branch is always true, but we miss it in is_branch_taken; we then refine based on the branch being false and end up with incoherent ranges (e.g. umax < umin). To avoid this, we can simulate the refinement on both branches. More specifically, this patch simulates both branches taken using regs_refine_cond_op and reg_bounds_sync. If the resulting register states are ill-formed on one of the branches, is_branch_taken can mark that branch as "never taken". On a more formal note, we can deduce a branch is not taken when regs_refine_cond_op or reg_bounds_sync returns an ill-formed state because the branch operators are sound (verified with Agni [1]). Soundness means that the verifier is guaranteed to produce sound outputs on the taken branches. On the non-taken branch (explored because of imprecision in the bounds), the verifier is free to produce any output. We use ill-formedness as a signal that the branch is dead and prune that branch. This patch moves the refinement logic for both branches from reg_set_min_max to their own function, simulate_both_branches_taken, which is called from is_scalar_branch_taken. As a result, reg_set_min_max now only runs sanity checks and has been renamed to reg_bounds_sanity_check_branches to reflect that. We have had five patches fixing specific cases of invariant violations in the past, all added with selftests: - commit fbc7aef517d8 ("bpf: Fix u32/s32 bounds when ranges cross min/max boundary") - commit efc11a667878 ("bpf: Improve bounds when tnum has a single possible value") - commit f41345f47fb2 ("bpf: Use tnums for JEQ/JNE is_branch_taken logic") - commit 00bf8d0c6c9b ("bpf: Improve bounds when s64 crosses sign boundary") - commit 6279846b9b25 ("bpf: Forget ranges when refining tnum after JSET") To confirm that this patch addresses all invariant violations, we have also reverted those five commits and verified that their related selftests don't cause any invariant violation warnings anymore. Those selftests still fail but only because of misdetected branches or less-precise bounds than expected. This demonstrates that the current patch is enough to avoid the invariant violation warning AND that the previous five patches are still useful to improve branch detection. In addition to the selftests, this change was also tested with the Cilium complexity test suite: all programs were successfully loaded and it didn't change the number of processed instructions.

2026-04-02bpf: Exit early if reg_bounds_sync gets invalid inputsHarishankar Vishwanathan1-0/+5
In the subsequent commit, to prune dead branches we will rely on detecting ill-formed ranges using range_bounds_violations() (e.g., umin > umax) after refining register bounds using regs_refine_cond_op(). However, reg_bounds_sync() can sometimes "repair" ill-formed bounds, potentially masking a violation that was produced by regs_refine_cond_op(). This commit modifies reg_bounds_sync() to exit early if an invariant violation is already present in the input. This ensures ill-formed reg_states remain ill-formed after reg_bounds_sync(), allowing simulate_both_branches_taken() to correctly identify dead branches with a single check to range_bounds_violation().

2026-04-02bpf: Use bpf_verifier_env buffers for reg_set_min_maxPaul Chaignon1-41/+23
In a subsequent patch, the regs_refine_cond_op and reg_bounds_sync functions will be called in is_branch_taken instead of reg_set_min_max, to simulate each branch's outcome. Since they will run before we branch out, these two functions will need to work on temporary registers for the two branches. This refactoring patch prepares for that change, by introducing the temporary registers on bpf_verifier_env and using them in reg_set_min_max. This change also allows us to save one fake_reg slot as we don't need to allocate an additional temporary buffer in case of a BPF_K condition. Finally, you may notice that this patch removes the check for "false_reg1 == false_reg2" in reg_set_min_max. That check was introduced in commit d43ad9da8052 ("bpf: Skip bounds adjustment for conditional jumps on same scalar register") to avoid an invariant violation. Given that "env->false_reg1 == env->false_reg2" doesn't make sense and invariant violations are addressed in a subsequent commit, this patch just removes the check.

However, handle_percpu_irq() invokes add_interrupt_randomness(), while handle_percpu_devid_irq() currently does not. Add the missing add_interrupt_randomness(), as it is needed when per-CPU interrupts with devid's are used in VMs for interrupts from the hypervisor.

2026-04-02sched_ext: Fix is_bpf_migration_disabled() false negative on non-PREEMPT_RCUChangwoo Min1-12/+19
Since commit 8e4f0b1ebcf2 ("bpf: use rcu_read_lock_dont_migrate() for trampoline.c"), the BPF prolog (__bpf_prog_enter) calls migrate_disable() only when CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU is enabled, via rcu_read_lock_dont_migrate(). Without CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU, the prolog never touches migration_disabled, so migration_disabled == 1 always means the task is truly migration-disabled regardless of whether it is the current task. The old unconditional p == current check was a false negative in this case, potentially allowing a migration-disabled task to be dispatched to a remote CPU and triggering scx_error in task_can_run_on_remote_rq(). Only apply the p == current disambiguation when CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU is enabled, where the ambiguity with the BPF prolog still exists.

2026-04-02sched_ext: Fix missing warning in scx_set_task_state() default caseSamuele Mariotti1-1/+2
In scx_set_task_state(), the default case was setting the warn flag, but then returning immediately. This is problematic because the only purpose of the warn flag is to trigger WARN_ONCE, but the early return prevented it from ever firing, leaving invalid task states undetected and untraced. To fix this, a WARN_ONCE call is now added directly in the default case. The fix addresses two aspects: - Guarantees the invalid task states are properly logged and traced. - Provides a distinct warning message ("sched_ext: Invalid task state") specifically for states outside the defined scx_task_state enum values, making it easier to distinguish from other transition warnings. This ensures proper detection and reporting of invalid states.

2026-04-02tracing: Allow backup to save persistent ring buffer before it startsSteven Rostedt2-1/+26
When the persistent ring buffer was first introduced, it did not make sense to start tracing for it on the kernel command line. That's because if there was a crash, the start of events would invalidate the events from the previous boot that had the crash. But now that there's a "backup" instance that can take a snapshot of the persistent ring buffer when boot starts, it is possible to have the persistent ring buffer start events at boot up and not lose the old events. Update the code where the boot events start after all boot time instances are created. This will allow the backup instance to copy the persistent ring buffer from the previous boot, and allow the persistent ring buffer to start tracing new events for the current boot. reserve_mem=100M:12M:trace trace_instance=boot_mapped^@trace,sched trace_instance=backup=boot_mapped The above will create a boot_mapped persistent ring buffer and enabled the scheduler events. If there's a crash, a "backup" instance will be created holding the events of the persistent ring buffer from the previous boot, while the persistent ring buffer will once again start tracing scheduler events of the current boot. Now the user doesn't have to remember to start the persistent ring buffer. It will always have the events started at each boot.

2026-04-02ring-buffer: Enforce read ordering of trace_buffer cpumask and buffersVincent Donnefort1-1/+18
On CPU hotplug, if it is the first time a trace_buffer sees a CPU, a ring_buffer_per_cpu will be allocated and its corresponding bit toggled in the cpumask. Many readers check this cpumask to know if they can safely read the ring_buffer_per_cpu but they are doing so without memory ordering and may observe the cpumask bit set while having NULL buffer pointer. Enforce the memory read ordering by sending an IPI to all online CPUs. The hotplug path is a slow-path anyway and it saves us from adding read barriers in numerous call sites.

2026-04-02bpf: Fix incorrect pruning due to atomic fetch precision trackingDaniel Borkmann1-3/+24
When backtrack_insn encounters a BPF_STX instruction with BPF_ATOMIC and BPF_FETCH, the src register (or r0 for BPF_CMPXCHG) also acts as a destination, thus receiving the old value from the memory location. The current backtracking logic does not account for this. It treats atomic fetch operations the same as regular stores where the src register is only an input. This leads the backtrack_insn to fail to propagate precision to the stack location, which is then not marked as precise! Later, the verifier's path pruning can incorrectly consider two states equivalent when they differ in terms of stack state. Meaning, two branches can be treated as equivalent and thus get pruned when they should not be seen as such. Fix it as follows: Extend the BPF_LDX handling in backtrack_insn to also cover atomic fetch operations via is_atomic_fetch_insn() helper. When the fetch dst register is being tracked for precision, clear it, and propagate precision over to the stack slot. For non-stack memory, the precision walk stops at the atomic instruction, same as regular BPF_LDX. This covers all fetch variants.

The function only accesses ctx struct members (not map values), so tasks trace protection is not needed - regular RCU is sufficient since ctx is freed via kfree_rcu. The guard in bpf_task_work_callback() remains as tasks trace since it accesses map values from process context. Sleepable BPF programs hold rcu_read_lock_trace but not regular rcu_read_lock. Since kfree_rcu waits for a regular RCU grace period, the ctx memory can be freed while a sleepable program is still running. Add scoped_guard(rcu) around the pointer read and refcount tryget in bpf_task_work_acquire_ctx to close this race window. Since kfree_rcu uses call_rcu internally which is not safe from NMI context, defer destruction via irq_work when irqs are disabled.

2026-04-02cpufreq: Pass the policy to cpufreq_driver->adjust_perf()K Prateek Nayak1-2/+3
cpufreq_cpu_get() can sleep on PREEMPT_RT in presence of concurrent writer(s), however amd-pstate depends on fetching the cpudata via the policy's driver data which necessitates grabbing the reference. Since schedutil governor can call "cpufreq_driver->update_perf()" during sched_tick/enqueue/dequeue with rq_lock held and IRQs disabled, fetching the policy object using the cpufreq_cpu_get() helper in the scheduler fast-path leads to "BUG: scheduling while atomic" on PREEMPT_RT [1]. Pass the cached cpufreq policy object in sg_policy to the update_perf() instead of just the CPU. The CPU can be inferred using "policy->cpu". The lifetime of cpufreq_policy object outlasts that of the governor and the cpufreq driver (allocated when the CPU is onlined and only reclaimed when the CPU is offlined / the CPU device is removed) which makes it safe to be referenced throughout the governor's lifetime.

2026-04-02bpf: Fix abuse of kprobe_write_ctx via freplaceLeon Hwang1-0/+17
uprobe programs are allowed to modify struct pt_regs. Since the actual program type of uprobe is KPROBE, it can be abused to modify struct pt_regs via kprobe+freplace when the kprobe attaches to kernel functions. For example, SEC("?kprobe") int kprobe(struct pt_regs *regs) { return 0; } SEC("?freplace") int freplace_kprobe(struct pt_regs *regs) { regs->di = 0; return 0; } freplace_kprobe prog will attach to kprobe prog. kprobe prog will attach to a kernel function. Without this patch, when the kernel function runs, its first arg will always be set as 0 via the freplace_kprobe prog. To fix the abuse of kprobe_write_ctx=true via kprobe+freplace, disallow attaching freplace programs on kprobe programs with different kprobe_write_ctx values.

2026-04-02sched/fair: Fix zero_vruntime tracking fixPeter Zijlstra1-7/+3
John reported that stress-ng-yield could make his machine unhappy and managed to bisect it to commit b3d99f43c72b ("sched/fair: Fix zero_vruntime tracking"). The combination of yield and that commit was specific enough to hypothesize the following scenario: Suppose we have 2 runnable tasks, both doing yield. Then one will be eligible and one will not be, because the average position must be in between these two entities. Therefore, the runnable task will be eligible, and be promoted a full slice (all the tasks do is yield after all). This causes it to jump over the other task and now the other task is eligible and current is no longer. So we schedule. Since we are runnable, there is no {de,en}queue. All we have is the __{en,de}queue_entity() from {put_prev,set_next}_task(). But per the fingered commit, those two no longer move zero_vruntime. All that moves zero_vruntime are tick and full {de,en}queue. This means, that if the two tasks playing leapfrog can reach the critical speed to reach the overflow point inside one tick's worth of time, we're up a creek. Additionally, when multiple cgroups are involved, there is no guarantee the tick will in fact hit every cgroup in a timely manner. Statistically speaking it will, but that same statistics does not rule out the possibility of one cgroup not getting a tick for a significant amount of time -- however unlikely. Therefore, just like with the yield() case, force an update at the end of every slice. This ensures the update is never more than a single slice behind and the whole thing is within 2 lag bounds as per the comment on entity_key().

2026-04-02dma-mapping: introduce DMA_ATTR_CC_SHARED for shared memoryJiri Pirko2-5/+22
Current CC designs don't place a vIOMMU in front of untrusted devices. Instead, the DMA API forces all untrusted device DMA through swiotlb bounce buffers (is_swiotlb_force_bounce()) which copies data into shared memory on behalf of the device. When a caller has already arranged for the memory to be shared via set_memory_decrypted(), the DMA API needs to know so it can map directly using the unencrypted physical address rather than bounce buffering. Following the pattern of DMA_ATTR_MMIO, add DMA_ATTR_CC_SHARED for this purpose. Like the MMIO case, only the caller knows what kind of memory it has and must inform the DMA API for it to work correctly.
