2026-02-23bpf: allow using bpf_kptr_xchg even if the NON_OWN_REF flag is setKaitao Cheng1-1/+3
When traversing an rbtree using bpf_rbtree_left/right, if bpf_kptr_xchg is used to access the __kptr pointer contained in a node, it currently requires first removing the node with bpf_rbtree_remove and clearing the NON_OWN_REF flag, then re-adding the node to the original rbtree with bpf_rbtree_add after usage. This process significantly degrades rbtree traversal performance. The patch enables accessing __kptr pointers with the NON_OWN_REF flag set while holding the lock, eliminating the need for this remove-read-add sequence.

2026-02-23bpf: allow calling bpf_kptr_xchg while holding a lockKaitao Cheng1-1/+2
For the following scenario: struct tree_node { struct bpf_rb_node node; struct request __kptr *req; u64 key; }; struct bpf_rb_root tree_root __contains(tree_node, node); struct bpf_spin_lock tree_lock; If we need to traverse all nodes in the rbtree, retrieve the __kptr pointer from each node, and read kernel data from the referenced object, using bpf_kptr_xchg appears unavoidable. This patch skips the BPF verifier checks for bpf_kptr_xchg when called while holding a lock.

2026-02-23cgroup/cpuset: Call housekeeping_update() without holding cpus_read_lockWaiman Long3-11/+44
The current cpuset partition code is able to dynamically update the sched domains of a running system and the corresponding HK_TYPE_DOMAIN housekeeping cpumask to perform what is essentially the "isolcpus=domain,..." boot command line feature at run time. The housekeeping cpumask update requires flushing a number of different workqueues which may not be safe with cpus_read_lock() held as the workqueue flushing code may acquire cpus_read_lock() or acquiring locks which have locking dependency with cpus_read_lock() down the chain. Below is an example of such circular locking problem. ====================================================== WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected 6.18.0-test+ #2 Tainted: G S ------------------------------------------------------ test_cpuset_prs/10971 is trying to acquire lock: ffff888112ba4958 ((wq_completion)sync_wq){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: touch_wq_lockdep_map+0x7a/0x180 but task is already holding lock: ffffffffae47f450 (cpuset_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: cpuset_partition_write+0x85/0x130 which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #4 (cpuset_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}: -> #3 (cpu_hotplug_lock){++++}-{0:0}: -> #2 (rtnl_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}: -> #1 ((work_completion)(&arg.work)){+.+.}-{0:0}: -> #0 ((wq_completion)sync_wq){+.+.}-{0:0}: Chain exists of: (wq_completion)sync_wq --> cpu_hotplug_lock --> cpuset_mutex 5 locks held by test_cpuset_prs/10971: #0: ffff88816810e440 (sb_writers#7){.+.+}-{0:0}, at: ksys_write+0xf9/0x1d0 #1: ffff8891ab620890 (&of->mutex#2){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x260/0x5f0 #2: ffff8890a78b83e8 (kn->active#187){.+.+}-{0:0}, at: kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x2b6/0x5f0 #3: ffffffffadf32900 (cpu_hotplug_lock){++++}-{0:0}, at: cpuset_partition_write+0x77/0x130 #4: ffffffffae47f450 (cpuset_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: cpuset_partition_write+0x85/0x130 Call Trace: <TASK> : touch_wq_lockdep_map+0x93/0x180 __flush_workqueue+0x111/0x10b0 housekeeping_update+0x12d/0x2d0 update_parent_effective_cpumask+0x595/0x2440 update_prstate+0x89d/0xce0 cpuset_partition_write+0xc5/0x130 cgroup_file_write+0x1a5/0x680 kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x3df/0x5f0 vfs_write+0x525/0xfd0 ksys_write+0xf9/0x1d0 do_syscall_64+0x95/0x520 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e To avoid such a circular locking dependency problem, we have to call housekeeping_update() without holding the cpus_read_lock() and cpuset_mutex. The current set of wq's flushed by housekeeping_update() may not have work functions that call cpus_read_lock() directly, but we are likely to extend the list of wq's that are flushed in the future. Moreover, the current set of work functions may hold locks that may have cpu_hotplug_lock down the dependency chain. So housekeeping_update() is now called after releasing cpus_read_lock and cpuset_mutex at the end of a cpuset operation. These two locks are then re-acquired later before calling rebuild_sched_domains_locked(). To enable mutual exclusion between the housekeeping_update() call and other cpuset control file write actions, a new top level cpuset_top_mutex is introduced. This new mutex will be acquired first to allow sharing variables used by both code paths. However, cpuset update from CPU hotplug can still happen in parallel with the housekeeping_update() call, though that should be rare in production environment. As cpus_read_lock() is now no longer held when tmigr_isolated_exclude_cpumask() is called, it needs to acquire it directly. The lockdep_is_cpuset_held() is also updated to return true if either cpuset_top_mutex or cpuset_mutex is held.

2026-02-23cgroup/cpuset: Defer housekeeping_update() calls from CPU hotplug to workqueueWaiman Long1-5/+26
The cpuset_handle_hotplug() may need to invoke housekeeping_update(), for instance, when an isolated partition is invalidated because its last active CPU has been put offline. As we are going to enable dynamic update to the nozh_full housekeeping cpumask (HK_TYPE_KERNEL_NOISE) soon with the help of CPU hotplug, allowing the CPU hotplug path to call into housekeeping_update() directly from update_isolation_cpumasks() will likely cause deadlock. So we have to defer any call to housekeeping_update() after the CPU hotplug operation has finished. This is now done via the workqueue where the update_hk_sched_domains() function will be invoked via the hk_sd_workfn(). An concurrent cpuset control file write may have executed the required update_hk_sched_domains() function before the work function is called. So the work function call may become a no-op when it is invoked. Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2026-02-23cgroup/cpuset: Move housekeeping_update()/rebuild_sched_domains() togetherWaiman Long1-27/+24
With the latest changes in sched/isolation.c, rebuild_sched_domains*() requires the HK_TYPE_DOMAIN housekeeping cpumask to be properly updated first, if needed, before the sched domains can be rebuilt. So the two naturally fit together. Do that by creating a new update_hk_sched_domains() helper to house both actions. The name of the isolated_cpus_updating flag to control the call to housekeeping_update() is now outdated. So change it to update_housekeeping to better reflect its purpose. Also move the call to update_hk_sched_domains() to the end of cpuset and hotplug operations before releasing the cpuset_mutex.

2026-02-23cgroup/cpuset: Fix incorrect use of cpuset_update_tasks_cpumask() in ↵Waiman Long1-1/+1
update_cpumasks_hier() Commit e2ffe502ba45 ("cgroup/cpuset: Add cpuset.cpus.exclusive for v2") incorrectly changed the 2nd parameter of cpuset_update_tasks_cpumask() from tmp->new_cpus to cp->effective_cpus. This second parameter is just a temporary cpumask for internal use. The cpuset_update_tasks_cpumask() function was originally called update_tasks_cpumask() before commit 381b53c3b549 ("cgroup/cpuset: rename functions shared between v1 and v2"). This mistake can incorrectly change the effective_cpus of the cpuset when it is the top_cpuset or in arm64 architecture where task_cpu_possible_mask() may differ from cpu_possible_mask. So far top_cpuset hasn't been passed to update_cpumasks_hier() yet, but arm64 arch can still be impacted. Fix it by reverting the incorrect change.

2026-02-23sched_ext: Fix ops.dequeue() semanticsAndrea Righi2-9/+108
Currently, ops.dequeue() is only invoked when the sched_ext core knows that a task resides in BPF-managed data structures, which causes it to miss scheduling property change events. In addition, ops.dequeue() callbacks are completely skipped when tasks are dispatched to non-local DSQs from ops.select_cpu(). As a result, BPF schedulers cannot reliably track task state. Fix this by guaranteeing that each task entering the BPF scheduler's custody triggers exactly one ops.dequeue() call when it leaves that custody, whether the exit is due to a dispatch (regular or via a core scheduling pick) or to a scheduling property change (e.g. sched_setaffinity(), sched_setscheduler(), set_user_nice(), NUMA balancing, etc.). BPF scheduler custody concept: a task is considered to be in the BPF scheduler's custody when the scheduler is responsible for managing its lifecycle. This includes tasks dispatched to user-created DSQs or stored in the BPF scheduler's internal data structures from ops.enqueue(). Custody ends when the task is dispatched to a terminal DSQ (such as the local DSQ or %SCX_DSQ_GLOBAL), selected by core scheduling, or removed due to a property change. Tasks directly dispatched to terminal DSQs bypass the BPF scheduler entirely and are never in its custody. Terminal DSQs include: - Local DSQs (%SCX_DSQ_LOCAL or %SCX_DSQ_LOCAL_ON): per-CPU queues where tasks go directly to execution. - Global DSQ (%SCX_DSQ_GLOBAL): the built-in fallback queue where the BPF scheduler is considered "done" with the task. As a result, ops.dequeue() is not invoked for tasks directly dispatched to terminal DSQs. To identify dequeues triggered by scheduling property changes, introduce the new ops.dequeue() flag %SCX_DEQ_SCHED_CHANGE: when this flag is set, the dequeue was caused by a scheduling property change. New ops.dequeue() semantics: - ops.dequeue() is invoked exactly once when the task leaves the BPF scheduler's custody, in one of the following cases: a) regular dispatch: a task dispatched to a user DSQ or stored in internal BPF data structures is moved to a terminal DSQ (ops.dequeue() called without any special flags set), b) core scheduling dispatch: core-sched picks task before dispatch (ops.dequeue() called with %SCX_DEQ_CORE_SCHED_EXEC flag set), c) property change: task properties modified before dispatch, (ops.dequeue() called with %SCX_DEQ_SCHED_CHANGE flag set). This allows BPF schedulers to: - reliably track task ownership and lifecycle, - maintain accurate accounting of managed tasks, - update internal state when tasks change properties.

2026-02-23Remove WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM kernel config optionLinus Torvalds1-1/+0
This config option goes way back - it used to be an internal debug option to random.c (at that point called DEBUG_RANDOM_BOOT), then was renamed and exposed as a config option as CONFIG_WARN_UNSEEDED_RANDOM, and then further renamed to the current CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM. It was all done with the best of intentions: the more limited rate-limited reports were reporting some cases, but if you wanted to see all the gory details, you'd enable this "ALL" option. However, it turns out - perhaps not surprisingly - that when people don't care about and fix the first rate-limited cases, they most certainly don't care about any others either, and so warning about all of them isn't actually helping anything. And the non-ratelimited reporting causes problems, where well-meaning people enable debug options, but the excessive flood of messages that nobody cares about will hide actual real information when things go wrong. I just got a kernel bug report (which had nothing to do with randomness) where two thirds of the the truncated dmesg was just variations of random: get_random_u32 called from __get_random_u32_below+0x10/0x70 with crng_init=0 and in the process early boot messages had been lost (in addition to making the messages that _hadn't_ been lost harder to read). The proper way to find these things for the hypothetical developer that cares - if such a person exists - is almost certainly with boot time tracing. That gives you the option to get call graphs etc too, which is likely a requirement for fixing any problems anyway. See Documentation/trace/boottime-trace.rst for that option. And if we for some reason do want to re-introduce actual printing of these things, it will need to have some uniqueness filtering rather than this "just print it all" model.

2026-02-23module: Fix the modversions and signing submenusPetr Pavlu1-10/+13
The module Kconfig file contains a set of options related to "Module versioning support" (depends on MODVERSIONS) and "Module signature verification" (depends on MODULE_SIG). The Kconfig tool automatically creates submenus when an entry for a symbol is followed by consecutive items that all depend on the symbol. However, this functionality doesn't work for the mentioned module options. The MODVERSIONS options are interleaved with ASM_MODVERSIONS, which has no 'depends on MODVERSIONS' but instead uses 'default HAVE_ASM_MODVERSIONS && MODVERSIONS'. Similarly, the MODULE_SIG options are interleaved by a comment warning not to forget signing modules with scripts/sign-file, which uses the condition 'depends on MODULE_SIG_FORCE && !MODULE_SIG_ALL'. The result is that the options are confusingly shown when using a menuconfig tool, as follows: [*] Module versioning support Module versioning implementation (genksyms (from source code)) ---> [ ] Extended Module Versioning Support [*] Basic Module Versioning Support [*] Source checksum for all modules [*] Module signature verification [ ] Require modules to be validly signed [ ] Automatically sign all modules Hash algorithm to sign modules (SHA-256) ---> Fix the issue by using if/endif to group related options together in kernel/module/Kconfig, similarly to how the MODULE_DEBUG options are already grouped. Note that the signing-related options depend on 'MODULE_SIG || IMA_APPRAISE_MODSIG', with the exception of MODULE_SIG_FORCE, which is valid only for MODULE_SIG and is therefore kept separately. For consistency, do the same for the MODULE_COMPRESS entries. The options are then properly placed into submenus, as follows: [*] Module versioning support Module versioning implementation (genksyms (from source code)) ---> [ ] Extended Module Versioning Support [*] Basic Module Versioning Support [*] Source checksum for all modules [*] Module signature verification [ ] Require modules to be validly signed [ ] Automatically sign all modules Hash algorithm to sign modules (SHA-256) ---> Signed-off-by: Petr Pavlu <petr.pavlu@suse.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel Gomez <da.gomez@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Sami Tolvanen <samitolvanen@google.com>

2026-02-23sched/fair: Skip SCHED_IDLE rq for SCHED_IDLE taskChristian Loehle1-13/+19
CPUs whose rq only have SCHED_IDLE tasks running are considered to be equivalent to truly idle CPUs during wakeup path. For fork and exec SCHED_IDLE is even preferred. This is based on the assumption that the SCHED_IDLE CPU is not in an idle state and might be in a higher P-state, allowing the task/wakee to run immediately without sharing the rq. However this assumption doesn't hold if the wakee has SCHED_IDLE policy itself, as it will share the rq with existing SCHED_IDLE tasks. In this case, we are better off continuing to look for a truly idle CPU.

For RT and DL thread, only 'set_next_task_(rt/dl)' will call 'update_stats_wait_end_(rt/dl)' to update schedstats information. However, during the migration process, 'update_stats_wait_start_(rt/dl)' will be called twice, which will cause the values of wait_max and wait_sum to be incorrect.

Stage 2: task_on_rq_migrating(p) is true, and wait_start is updated to the waiting time on queue A. Stage 3: prev_wait_start is the waiting time on queue A, wait_start is the time of entering queue B, and wait_start is expected to be greater than prev_wait_start. Under this condition, wait_start is updated to (the moment of entering queue B) - (the waiting time on queue A). Stage 4: the final wait time = (time when starting to run on queue B) - (time of entering queue B) + (waiting time on queue A) = waiting time on queue B + waiting time on queue A. The current problem is that stage 2 does not call __update_stats_wait_end to update wait_start, which causes the final computed wait time = waiting time on queue B + the moment of entering queue A, leading to incorrect wait_max and wait_sum.

2026-02-23sched/fair: Filter false overloaded_group case for EASVincent Guittot1-5/+13
With EAS, a group should be set overloaded if at least 1 CPU in the group is overutilized but it can happen that a CPU is fully utilized by tasks because of clamping the compute capacity of the CPU. In such case, the CPU is not overutilized and as a result should not be set overloaded as well. group_overloaded being a higher priority than group_misfit, such group can be selected as the busiest group instead of a group with a mistfit task and prevents load_balance to select the CPU with the misfit task to pull the latter on a fitting CPU.

Checking uclamp_min is useless and counterproductive for overutilized state as misfit can now happen without being in overutilized state. Since commit e5ed0550c04c ("sched/fair: unlink misfit task from cpu overutilized") util_fits_cpu returns -1 when uclamp_min is above capacity which is not considered as cpu overutilized.

Since we now use the full weight for avg_vruntime(), also make __calc_delta() use the full value. Since weight is effectively NICE_0_LOAD, this is 20 bits on 64bit. This leaves 44 bits for delta_exec, which is ~16k seconds, way longer than any one tick would ever be, so no worry about overflow.

causing scheduling lag") Zicheng Qu reported that, because avg_vruntime() always includes cfs_rq->curr, when ->on_rq, place_entity() doesn't work right. Specifically, the lag scaling in place_entity() relies on avg_vruntime() being the state *before* placement of the new entity. However in this case avg_vruntime() will actually already include the entity, which breaks things. Also, Zicheng Qu argues that avg_vruntime should be invariant under reweight. IOW commit 6d71a9c61604 ("sched/fair: Fix EEVDF entity placement bug causing scheduling lag") was wrong! The issue reported in 6d71a9c61604 could possibly be explained by rounding artifacts -- notably the extreme weight '2' is outside of the range of avg_vruntime/sum_w_vruntime, since that uses scale_load_down(). By scaling vruntime by the real weight, but accounting it in vruntime with a factor 1024 more, the average moves significantly. However, that is now cured. Tested by reverting 66951e4860d3 ("sched/fair: Fix update_cfs_group() vs DELAY_DEQUEUE") and tracing vruntime and vlag figures again.

2026-02-23sched/fair: More complex proportional newidle balancePeter Zijlstra3-2/+29
It turns out that a few workloads (easyWave, fio) have a fairly low success rate on newidle balance, but still benefit greatly from having it anyway. Luckliky these workloads have a faily low newidle rate, so the cost if doing the newidle is relatively low, even if unsuccessfull. Add a simple rate based part to the newidle ratio compute, such that low rate newidle will still have a high newidle ratio. This cures the easyWave and fio workloads while not affecting the schbench numbers either (which have a very high newidle rate).

2026-02-23perf/core: Fix refcount bug and potential UAF in perf_mmapHaocheng Yu1-19/+19
Syzkaller reported a refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free warning in perf_mmap. The issue is caused by a race condition between a failing mmap() setup and a concurrent mmap() on a dependent event (e.g., using output redirection). In perf_mmap(), the ring_buffer (rb) is allocated and assigned to event->rb with the mmap_mutex held. The mutex is then released to perform map_range(). If map_range() fails, perf_mmap_close() is called to clean up. However, since the mutex was dropped, another thread attaching to this event (via inherited events or output redirection) can acquire the mutex, observe the valid event->rb pointer, and attempt to increment its reference count. If the cleanup path has already dropped the reference count to zero, this results in a use-after-free or refcount saturation warning. Fix this by extending the scope of mmap_mutex to cover the map_range() call. This ensures that the ring buffer initialization and mapping (or cleanup on failure) happens atomically effectively, preventing other threads from accessing a half-initialized or dying ring buffer.

2026-02-23rseq: slice ext: Ensure rseq feature size differs from original rseq sizeMathieu Desnoyers1-1/+2
Before rseq became extensible, its original size was 32 bytes even though the active rseq area was only 20 bytes. This had the following impact in terms of userspace ecosystem evolution: * The GNU libc between 2.35 and 2.39 expose a __rseq_size symbol set to 32, even though the size of the active rseq area is really 20. * The GNU libc 2.40 changes this __rseq_size to 20, thus making it express the active rseq area. * Starting from glibc 2.41, __rseq_size corresponds to the AT_RSEQ_FEATURE_SIZE from getauxval(3). This means that users of __rseq_size can always expect it to correspond to the active rseq area, except for the value 32, for which the active rseq area is 20 bytes. Exposing a 32 bytes feature size would make life needlessly painful for userspace. Therefore, add a reserved field at the end of the rseq area to bump the feature size to 33 bytes. This reserved field is expected to be replaced with whatever field will come next, expecting that this field will be larger than 1 byte. The effect of this change is to increase the size from 32 to 64 bytes before we actually have fields using that memory. Clarify the allocation size and alignment requirements in the struct rseq uapi comment. Change the value returned by getauxval(AT_RSEQ_ALIGN) to return the value of the active rseq area size rounded up to next power of 2, which guarantees that the rseq structure will always be aligned on the nearest power of two large enough to contain it, even as it grows. Change the alignment check in the rseq registration accordingly. This will minimize the amount of ABI corner-cases we need to document and require userspace to play games with. The rule stays simple when __rseq_size != 32: #define rseq_field_available(field) (__rseq_size >= offsetofend(struct rseq_abi, field)) Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260220200642.1317826-3-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com

Notably, this modification pattern should only lower the next_class, and never raise it. Create two new helper functions to wrap this. - when doing schedule_idle(), it was possible to miss (re)setting rq->next_class to &idle_sched_class, leading to the very same problem.

In the EEVDF framework with Run-to-Parity protection, `se->vprot` is an independent variable defining the virtual protection timestamp. When `reweight_entity()` is called (e.g., via nice/renice), it performs the following actions to preserve Lag consistency: 1. Scales `se->vlag` based on the new weight. 2. Calls `place_entity()`, which recalculates `se->vruntime` based on the new weight and scaled lag. However, the current implementation fails to update `se->vprot`, leading to mismatches between the task's actual runtime and its expected duration.

2026-02-23sched/fair: Fix zero_vruntime trackingPeter Zijlstra1-27/+57
It turns out that zero_vruntime tracking is broken when there is but a single task running. Current update paths are through __{en,de}queue_entity(), and when there is but a single task, pick_next_task() will always return that one task, and put_prev_set_next_task() will end up in neither function. This can cause entity_key() to grow indefinitely large and cause overflows, leading to much pain and suffering. Furtermore, doing update_zero_vruntime() from __{de,en}queue_entity(), which are called from {set_next,put_prev}_entity() has problems because: - set_next_entity() calls __dequeue_entity() before it does cfs_rq->curr = se. This means the avg_vruntime() will see the removal but not current, missing the entity for accounting. - put_prev_entity() calls __enqueue_entity() before it does cfs_rq->curr = NULL. This means the avg_vruntime() will see the addition *and* current, leading to double accounting. Both cases are incorrect/inconsistent. Noting that avg_vruntime is already called on each {en,de}queue, remove the explicit avg_vruntime() calls (which removes an extra 64bit division for each {en,de}queue) and have avg_vruntime() update zero_vruntime itself. Additionally, have the tick call avg_vruntime() -- discarding the result, but for the side-effect of updating zero_vruntime. While there, optimize avg_vruntime() by noting that the average of one value is rather trivial to compute.
