2026-03-03ftrace: Disable preemption in the tracepoint callbacks handling filtered pidsSteven Rostedt1-0/+2
When function trace PID filtering is enabled, the function tracer will attach a callback to the fork tracepoint as well as the exit tracepoint that will add the forked child PID to the PID filtering list as well as remove the PID that is exiting. Commit a46023d5616e ("tracing: Guard __DECLARE_TRACE() use of __DO_TRACE_CALL() with SRCU-fast") removed the disabling of preemption when calling tracepoint callbacks. The callbacks used for the PID filtering accounting depended on preemption being disabled, and now the trigger a "suspicious RCU usage" warning message. Make them explicitly disable preemption.

2026-03-03tracing: Fix syscall events activation by ensuring refcount hits zeroHuiwen He1-15/+37
When multiple syscall events are specified in the kernel command line (e.g., trace_event=syscalls:sys_enter_openat,syscalls:sys_enter_close), they are often not captured after boot, even though they appear enabled in the tracing/set_event file. The issue stems from how syscall events are initialized. Syscall tracepoints require the global reference count (sys_tracepoint_refcount) to transition from 0 to 1 to trigger the registration of the syscall work (TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT) for tasks, including the init process (pid 1). The current implementation of early_enable_events() with disable_first=true used an interleaved sequence of "Disable A -> Enable A -> Disable B -> Enable B". If multiple syscalls are enabled, the refcount never drops to zero, preventing the 0->1 transition that triggers actual registration. Fix this by splitting early_enable_events() into two distinct phases: 1. Disable all events specified in the buffer. 2. Enable all events specified in the buffer. This ensures the refcount hits zero before re-enabling, allowing syscall events to be properly activated during early boot. The code is also refactored to use a helper function to avoid logic duplication between the disable and enable phases.

2026-03-03fgraph: Fix thresh_return nosleeptime double-adjustShengming Hu1-4/+10
trace_graph_thresh_return() called handle_nosleeptime() and then delegated to trace_graph_return(), which calls handle_nosleeptime() again. When sleep-time accounting is disabled this double-adjusts calltime and can produce bogus durations (including underflow). Fix this by computing rettime once, applying handle_nosleeptime() only once, using the adjusted calltime for threshold comparison, and writing the return event directly via __trace_graph_return() when the threshold is met.

2026-03-03fgraph: Fix thresh_return clear per-task notraceShengming Hu1-2/+3
When tracing_thresh is enabled, function graph tracing uses trace_graph_thresh_return() as the return handler. Unlike trace_graph_return(), it did not clear the per-task TRACE_GRAPH_NOTRACE flag set by the entry handler for set_graph_notrace addresses. This could leave the task permanently in "notrace" state and effectively disable function graph tracing for that task. Mirror trace_graph_return()'s per-task notrace handling by clearing TRACE_GRAPH_NOTRACE and returning early when set.

2026-03-03bpf: Fix a UAF issue in bpf_trampoline_link_cgroup_shimLang Xu1-3/+1
The root cause of this bug is that when 'bpf_link_put' reduces the refcount of 'shim_link->link.link' to zero, the resource is considered released but may still be referenced via 'tr->progs_hlist' in 'cgroup_shim_find'. The actual cleanup of 'tr->progs_hlist' in 'bpf_shim_tramp_link_release' is deferred. During this window, another process can cause a use-after-free via 'bpf_trampoline_link_cgroup_shim'. Based on Martin KaFai Lau's suggestions, I have created a simple patch. To fix this: Add an atomic non-zero check in 'bpf_trampoline_link_cgroup_shim'. Only increment the refcount if it is not already zero. Testing: I verified the fix by adding a delay in 'bpf_shim_tramp_link_release' to make the bug easier to trigger: static void bpf_shim_tramp_link_release(struct bpf_link *link) { /* ... */ if (!shim_link->trampoline) return; + msleep(100); WARN_ON_ONCE(bpf_trampoline_unlink_prog(&shim_link->link, shim_link->trampoline, NULL)); bpf_trampoline_put(shim_link->trampoline); } Before the patch, running a PoC easily reproduced the crash(almost 100%) with a call trace similar to KaiyanM's report. After the patch, the bug no longer occurs even after millions of iterations.

2026-03-03sched_ext: Fix starvation of scx_enable() under fair-class saturationTejun Heo1-10/+56
During scx_enable(), the READY -> ENABLED task switching loop changes the calling thread's sched_class from fair to ext. Since fair has higher priority than ext, saturating fair-class workloads can indefinitely starve the enable thread, hanging the system. This was introduced when the enable path switched from preempt_disable() to scx_bypass() which doesn't protect against fair-class starvation. Note that the original preempt_disable() protection wasn't complete either - in partial switch modes, the calling thread could still be starved after preempt_enable() as it may have been switched to ext class. Fix it by offloading the enable body to a dedicated system-wide RT (SCHED_FIFO) kthread which cannot be starved by either fair or ext class tasks. scx_enable() lazily creates the kthread on first use and passes the ops pointer through a struct scx_enable_cmd containing the kthread_work, then synchronously waits for completion. The workfn runs on a different kthread from sch->helper (which runs disable_work), so it can safely flush disable_work on the error path without deadlock.

2026-03-03bpf: Relax fixed offset check for PTR_TO_CTXKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi1-1/+12
The limitation on fixed offsets stems from the fact that certain program types rewrite the accesses to the context structure and translate them to accesses to the real underlying type. Technically, in the past, we could have stashed the register offset in insn_aux and made rewrites work, but we've never needed it in the past since the offset for such context structures easily fit in the s16 signed instruction offset. Regardless, the consequence is that for program types where the program type's verifier ops doesn't supply a convert_ctx_access callback, we unnecessarily reject accesses with a modified ctx pointer (i.e., one whose offset has been shifted) in check_ptr_off_reg. Make an exception for such program types (like syscall, tracepoint, raw_tp, etc.). Pass in fixed_off_ok as true to __check_ptr_off_reg for such cases, and accumulate the register offset into insn->off passed to check_ctx_access. In particular, the accumulation is critical since we need to correctly track the max_ctx_offset which is used for bounds checking the buffer for syscall programs at runtime.

2026-03-03bpf: Add missing XDP_ABORTED handling in cpumapAnand Kumar Shaw1-1/+4
cpu_map_bpf_prog_run_xdp() handles XDP_PASS, XDP_REDIRECT, and XDP_DROP but is missing an XDP_ABORTED case. Without it, XDP_ABORTED falls into the default case which logs a misleading "invalid XDP action" warning instead of tracing the abort via trace_xdp_exception(). Add the missing XDP_ABORTED case with trace_xdp_exception(), matching the handling already present in the skb path (cpu_map_bpf_prog_run_skb), devmap (dev_map_bpf_prog_run), and the generic XDP path (do_xdp_generic). Also pass xdpf->dev_rx instead of NULL to bpf_warn_invalid_xdp_action() in the default case, so the warning includes the actual device name. This aligns with the generic XDP path in net/core/dev.c which already passes the real device.

The file-level comment explicitly identifies naked scx_root dereferences as a temporary measure that needs to be replaced with proper per-instance access. 2. scx_attr_events_show(), the neighboring sysfs show function in the same group, already uses the correct pattern: struct scx_sched *sch = container_of(kobj, struct scx_sched, kobj); Having inconsistent access patterns in the same sysfs/uevent group is error-prone. The kobject embedded in struct scx_sched is initialized as: kobject_init_and_add(&sch->kobj, &scx_ktype, NULL, "root"); so container_of(kobj, struct scx_sched, kobj) correctly retrieves the owning scx_sched instance in both callbacks. Replace the naked scx_root dereferences with container_of()-based access, consistent with scx_attr_events_show() and in preparation for proper multi-instance scx_sched support.

These operations are only safe when preemption is off, as they were designed to be called from the scheduler context (probe_wakeup_sched_switch() / probe_wakeup()). __blk_add_trace() was calling tracing_record_cmdline(current) early in the blk_tracer path, before ring buffer reservation, from process context where preemption is fully enabled.

2026-02-27bpf: Improve bounds when tnum has a single possible valuePaul Chaignon1-0/+30
We're hitting an invariant violation in Cilium that sometimes leads to BPF programs being rejected and Cilium failing to start [1]. The following extract from verifier logs shows what's happening: from 201 to 236: R1=0 R6=ctx() R7=1 R9=scalar(smin=umin=smin32=umin32=3584,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=3840,var_off=(0xe00; 0x100)) R10=fp0 236: R1=0 R6=ctx() R7=1 R9=scalar(smin=umin=smin32=umin32=3584,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=3840,var_off=(0xe00; 0x100)) R10=fp0 ; if (magic == MARK_MAGIC_HOST || magic == MARK_MAGIC_OVERLAY || magic == MARK_MAGIC_ENCRYPT) @ bpf_host.c:1337 236: (16) if w9 == 0xe00 goto pc+45 ; R9=scalar(smin=umin=smin32=umin32=3585,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=3840,var_off=(0xe00; 0x100)) 237: (16) if w9 == 0xf00 goto pc+1 verifier bug: REG INVARIANTS VIOLATION (false_reg1): range bounds violation u64=[0xe01, 0xe00] s64=[0xe01, 0xe00] u32=[0xe01, 0xe00] s32=[0xe01, 0xe00] var_off=(0xe00, 0x0) We reach instruction 236 with two possible values for R9, 0xe00 and 0xf00. This is perfectly reflected in the tnum, but of course the ranges are less accurate and cover [0xe00; 0xf00]. Taking the fallthrough path at instruction 236 allows the verifier to reduce the range to [0xe01; 0xf00]. The tnum is however not updated. With these ranges, at instruction 237, the verifier is not able to deduce that R9 is always equal to 0xf00. Hence the fallthrough pass is explored first, the verifier refines the bounds using the assumption that R9 != 0xf00, and ends up with an invariant violation. This pattern of impossible branch + bounds refinement is common to all invariant violations seen so far. The long-term solution is likely to rely on the refinement + invariant violation check to detect dead branches, as started by Eduard. To fix the current issue, we need something with less refactoring that we can backport. This patch uses the tnum_step helper introduced in the previous patch to detect the above situation. In particular, three cases are now detected in the bounds refinement: 1. The u64 range and the tnum only overlap in umin. u64: ---[xxxxxx]----- tnum: --xx----------x- 2. The u64 range and the tnum only overlap in the maximum value represented by the tnum, called tmax. u64: ---[xxxxxx]----- tnum: xx-----x-------- 3. The u64 range and the tnum only overlap in between umin (excluded) and umax. u64: ---[xxxxxx]----- tnum: xx----x-------x- To detect these three cases, we call tnum_step(tnum, umin), which returns the smallest member of the tnum greater than umin, called tnum_next here. We're in case (1) if umin is part of the tnum and tnum_next is greater than umax. We're in case (2) if umin is not part of the tnum and tnum_next is equal to tmax. Finally, we're in case (3) if umin is not part of the tnum, tnum_next is inferior or equal to umax, and calling tnum_step a second time gives us a value past umax. This change implements these three cases. With it, the above bytecode looks as follows: 0: (85) call bpf_get_prandom_u32#7 ; R0=scalar() 1: (47) r0 |= 3584 ; R0=scalar(smin=0x8000000000000e00,umin=umin32=3584,smin32=0x80000e00,var_off=(0xe00; 0xfffffffffffff1ff)) 2: (57) r0 &= 3840 ; R0=scalar(smin=umin=smin32=umin32=3584,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=3840,var_off=(0xe00; 0x100)) 3: (15) if r0 == 0xe00 goto pc+2 ; R0=3840 4: (15) if r0 == 0xf00 goto pc+1 4: R0=3840 6: (95) exit In addition to the new selftests, this change was also verified with Agni [3]. For the record, the raw SMT is available at [4]. The property it verifies is that: If a concrete value x is contained in all input abstract values, after __update_reg_bounds, it will continue to be contained in all output abstract values.

2026-02-27bpf: Introduce tnum_step to step through tnum's membersHarishankar Vishwanathan1-0/+56
This commit introduces tnum_step(), a function that, when given t, and a number z returns the smallest member of t larger than z. The number z must be greater or equal to the smallest member of t and less than the largest member of t. The first step is to compute j, a number that keeps all of t's known bits, and matches all unknown bits to z's bits. Since j is a member of the t, it is already a candidate for result. However, we want our result to be (minimally) greater than z. There are only two possible cases: (1) Case j <= z. In this case, we want to increase the value of j and make it > z. (2) Case j > z. In this case, we want to decrease the value of j while keeping it > z. (Case 1) j <= z t = xx11x0x0 z = 10111101 (189) j = 10111000 (184) ^ k (Case 1.1) Let's first consider the case where j < z. We will address j == z later. Since z > j, there had to be a bit position that was 1 in z and a 0 in j, beyond which all positions of higher significance are equal in j and z. Further, this position could not have been unknown in a, because the unknown positions of a match z. This position had to be a 1 in z and known 0 in t. Let k be position of the most significant 1-to-0 flip. In our example, k = 3 (starting the count at 1 at the least significant bit). Setting (to 1) the unknown bits of t in positions of significance smaller than k will not produce a result > z. Hence, we must set/unset the unknown bits at positions of significance higher than k. Specifically, we look for the next larger combination of 1s and 0s to place in those positions, relative to the combination that exists in z. We can achieve this by concatenating bits at unknown positions of t into an integer, adding 1, and writing the bits of that result back into the corresponding bit positions previously extracted from z. >From our example, considering only positions of significance greater than k: t = xx..x z = 10..1 + 1 ----- 11..0 This is the exact combination 1s and 0s we need at the unknown bits of t in positions of significance greater than k. Further, our result must only increase the value minimally above z. Hence, unknown bits in positions of significance smaller than k should remain 0. We finally have, result = 11110000 (240) (Case 1.2) Now consider the case when j = z, for example t = 1x1x0xxx z = 10110100 (180) j = 10110100 (180) Matching the unknown bits of the t to the bits of z yielded exactly z. To produce a number greater than z, we must set/unset the unknown bits in t, and *all* the unknown bits of t candidates for being set/unset. We can do this similar to Case 1.1, by adding 1 to the bits extracted from the masked bit positions of z. Essentially, this case is equivalent to Case 1.1, with k = 0. t = 1x1x0xxx z = .0.1.100 + 1 --------- .0.1.101 This is the exact combination of bits needed in the unknown positions of t. After recalling the known positions of t, we get result = 10110101 (181) (Case 2) j > z t = x00010x1 z = 10000010 (130) j = 10001011 (139) ^ k Since j > z, there had to be a bit position which was 0 in z, and a 1 in j, beyond which all positions of higher significance are equal in j and z. This position had to be a 0 in z and known 1 in t. Let k be the position of the most significant 0-to-1 flip. In our example, k = 4. Because of the 0-to-1 flip at position k, a member of t can become greater than z if the bits in positions greater than k are themselves >= to z. To make that member *minimally* greater than z, the bits in positions greater than k must be exactly = z. Hence, we simply match all of t's unknown bits in positions more significant than k to z's bits. In positions less significant than k, we set all t's unknown bits to 0 to retain minimality. In our example, in positions of greater significance than k (=4), t=x000. These positions are matched with z (1000) to produce 1000. In positions of lower significance than k, t=10x1. All unknown bits are set to 0 to produce 1001. The final result is: result = 10001001 (137) This concludes the computation for a result > z that is a member of t. The procedure for tnum_step() in this commit implements the idea described above. As a proof of correctness, we verified the algorithm against a logical specification of tnum_step. The specification asserts the following about the inputs t, z and output res that: 1. res is a member of t, and 2. res is strictly greater than z, and 3. there does not exist another value res2 such that 3a. res2 is also a member of t, and 3b. res2 is greater than z 3c. res2 is smaller than res We checked the implementation against this logical specification using an SMT solver. The verification formula in SMTLIB format is available at [1]. The verification returned an "unsat": indicating that no input assignment exists for which the implementation and the specification produce different outputs. In addition, we also automatically generated the logical encoding of the C implementation using Agni [2] and verified it against the same specification. This verification also returned an "unsat", confirming that the implementation is equivalent to the specification. The formula for this check is also available at [3].

2026-02-27bpf: Fix race in devmap on PREEMPT_RTJiayuan Chen1-4/+21
On PREEMPT_RT kernels, the per-CPU xdp_dev_bulk_queue (bq) can be accessed concurrently by multiple preemptible tasks on the same CPU. The original code assumes bq_enqueue() and __dev_flush() run atomically with respect to each other on the same CPU, relying on local_bh_disable() to prevent preemption. However, on PREEMPT_RT, local_bh_disable() only calls migrate_disable() (when PREEMPT_RT_NEEDS_BH_LOCK is not set) and does not disable preemption, which allows CFS scheduling to preempt a task during bq_xmit_all(), enabling another task on the same CPU to enter bq_enqueue() and operate on the same per-CPU bq concurrently. This leads to several races: 1. Double-free / use-after-free on bq->q[]: bq_xmit_all() snapshots cnt = bq->count, then iterates bq->q[0..cnt-1] to transmit frames. If preempted after the snapshot, a second task can call bq_enqueue() -> bq_xmit_all() on the same bq, transmitting (and freeing) the same frames. When the first task resumes, it operates on stale pointers in bq->q[], causing use-after-free. 2. bq->count and bq->q[] corruption: concurrent bq_enqueue() modifying bq->count and bq->q[] while bq_xmit_all() is reading them. 3. dev_rx/xdp_prog teardown race: __dev_flush() clears bq->dev_rx and bq->xdp_prog after bq_xmit_all(). If preempted between bq_xmit_all() return and bq->dev_rx = NULL, a preempting bq_enqueue() sees dev_rx still set (non-NULL), skips adding bq to the flush_list, and enqueues a frame. When __dev_flush() resumes, it clears dev_rx and removes bq from the flush_list, orphaning the newly enqueued frame. 4. __list_del_clearprev() on flush_node: similar to the cpumap race, both tasks can call __list_del_clearprev() on the same flush_node, the second dereferences the prev pointer already set to NULL. The race between task A (__dev_flush -> bq_xmit_all) and task B (bq_enqueue -> bq_xmit_all) on the same CPU: Task A (xdp_do_flush) Task B (ndo_xdp_xmit redirect) ---------------------- -------------------------------- __dev_flush(flush_list) bq_xmit_all(bq) cnt = bq->count /* e.g. 16 */ /* start iterating bq->q[] */ <-- CFS preempts Task A --> bq_enqueue(dev, xdpf) bq->count == DEV_MAP_BULK_SIZE bq_xmit_all(bq, 0) cnt = bq->count /* same 16! */ ndo_xdp_xmit(bq->q[]) /* frames freed by driver */ bq->count = 0 <-- Task A resumes --> ndo_xdp_xmit(bq->q[]) /* use-after-free: frames already freed! */ Fix this by adding a local_lock_t to xdp_dev_bulk_queue and acquiring it in bq_enqueue() and __dev_flush(). These paths already run under local_bh_disable(), so use local_lock_nested_bh() which on non-RT is a pure annotation with no overhead, and on PREEMPT_RT provides a per-CPU sleeping lock that serializes access to the bq.

2026-02-27bpf: Fix race in cpumap on PREEMPT_RTJiayuan Chen1-2/+15
On PREEMPT_RT kernels, the per-CPU xdp_bulk_queue (bq) can be accessed concurrently by multiple preemptible tasks on the same CPU. The original code assumes bq_enqueue() and __cpu_map_flush() run atomically with respect to each other on the same CPU, relying on local_bh_disable() to prevent preemption. However, on PREEMPT_RT, local_bh_disable() only calls migrate_disable() (when PREEMPT_RT_NEEDS_BH_LOCK is not set) and does not disable preemption, which allows CFS scheduling to preempt a task during bq_flush_to_queue(), enabling another task on the same CPU to enter bq_enqueue() and operate on the same per-CPU bq concurrently. This leads to several races: 1. Double __list_del_clearprev(): after bq->count is reset in bq_flush_to_queue(), a preempting task can call bq_enqueue() -> bq_flush_to_queue() on the same bq when bq->count reaches CPU_MAP_BULK_SIZE. Both tasks then call __list_del_clearprev() on the same bq->flush_node, the second call dereferences the prev pointer that was already set to NULL by the first. 2. bq->count and bq->q[] races: concurrent bq_enqueue() can corrupt the packet queue while bq_flush_to_queue() is processing it. The race between task A (__cpu_map_flush -> bq_flush_to_queue) and task B (bq_enqueue -> bq_flush_to_queue) on the same CPU: Task A (xdp_do_flush) Task B (cpu_map_enqueue) ---------------------- ------------------------ bq_flush_to_queue(bq) spin_lock(&q->producer_lock) /* flush bq->q[] to ptr_ring */ bq->count = 0 spin_unlock(&q->producer_lock) bq_enqueue(rcpu, xdpf) <-- CFS preempts Task A --> bq->q[bq->count++] = xdpf /* ... more enqueues until full ... */ bq_flush_to_queue(bq) spin_lock(&q->producer_lock) /* flush to ptr_ring */ spin_unlock(&q->producer_lock) __list_del_clearprev(flush_node) /* sets flush_node.prev = NULL */ <-- Task A resumes --> __list_del_clearprev(flush_node) flush_node.prev->next = ... /* prev is NULL -> kernel oops */ Fix this by adding a local_lock_t to xdp_bulk_queue and acquiring it in bq_enqueue() and __cpu_map_flush(). These paths already run under local_bh_disable(), so use local_lock_nested_bh() which on non-RT is a
