2025-07-21stackleak: Rename STACKLEAK to KSTACK_ERASEKees Cook
In preparation for adding Clang sanitizer coverage stack depth tracking that can support stack depth callbacks: - Add the new top-level CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE option which will be implemented either with the stackleak GCC plugin, or with the Clang stack depth callback support. - Rename CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STACKLEAK as needed to CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE, but keep it for anything specific to the GCC plugin itself. - Rename all exposed "STACKLEAK" names and files to "KSTACK_ERASE" (named for what it does rather than what it protects against), but leave as many of the internals alone as possible to avoid even more churn. While here, also split "prev_lowest_stack" into CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE_METRICS, since that's the only place it is referenced from.

As the trace event powernv_throttle is only used by the powernv code, move it to a separate include file and have that code directly enable it. Trace events can take up around 5K of memory when they are defined regardless if they are used or not. It wastes memory to have them defined in configurations where the tracepoint is not used.

2025-07-21entry: Add arch_in_rcu_eqs()Mark Rutland
All architectures have an interruptible RCU extended quiescent state (EQS) as part of their idle sequences, where interrupts can occur without RCU watching. Entry code must account for this and wake RCU as necessary; the common entry code deals with this in irqentry_enter() by treating any interrupt from an idle thread as potentially having occurred within an EQS and waking RCU for the duration of the interrupt via rcu_irq_enter() .. rcu_irq_exit(). Some architectures may have other interruptible EQSs which require similar treatment. For example, on s390 it is necessary to enable interrupts around guest entry in the middle of a period where core KVM code has entered an EQS. So that architectures can wake RCU in these cases, this patch adds a new arch_in_rcu_eqs() hook to the common entry code which is checked in addition to the existing is_idle_thread() check, with RCU woken if either returns true. A default implementation is provided which always returns false, which suffices for most architectures. As no architectures currently implement arch_in_rcu_eqs(), there should be no functional change as a result of this patch alone. A subsequent patch will add an s390 implementation to fix a latent bug with missing RCU wakeups.

2025-07-19tracing: Add down_write(trace_event_sem) when adding trace eventSteven Rostedt
When a module is loaded, it adds trace events defined by the module. It may also need to modify the modules trace printk formats to replace enum names with their values. If two modules are loaded at the same time, the adding of the event to the ftrace_events list can corrupt the walking of the list in the code that is modifying the printk format strings and crash the kernel. The addition of the event should take the trace_event_sem for write while it adds the new event. Also add a lockdep_assert_held() on that semaphore in __trace_add_event_dirs() as it iterates the list.

2025-07-19cgroup: Add compatibility option for content of /proc/cgroupsMichal Koutný
/proc/cgroups lists only v1 controllers by default, however, this is only enforced since the commit af000ce85293b ("cgroup: Do not report unavailable v1 controllers in /proc/cgroups") and there is software in the wild that uses content of /proc/cgroups to decide on availability of v2 (sic) controllers. Add a boottime param that can bring back the previous behavior for setups where the check in the software cannot be changed and it causes e.g. unintended OOMs. Also, this patch takes out cgrp_v1_visible from cgroup1_subsys_absent() guard since it's only important to check which hierarchy (v1 vs v2) the subsys is attached to. This has no effect on the printed message but the code is cleaner since cgrp_v1_visible is really about mounted hierarchies, not the content of /proc/cgroups.

2025-07-18rcu: Fix delayed execution of hurry callbacksTze-nan Wu
We observed a regression in our customer’s environment after enabling CONFIG_LAZY_RCU. In the Android Update Engine scenario, where ioctl() is used heavily, we found that callbacks queued via call_rcu_hurry (such as percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic_rcu) can sometimes be delayed by up to 5 seconds before execution. This occurs because the new grace period does not start immediately after the previous one completes. The root cause is that the wake_nocb_gp_defer() function now checks "rdp->nocb_defer_wakeup" instead of "rdp_gp->nocb_defer_wakeup". On CPUs that are not rcuog, "rdp->nocb_defer_wakeup" may always be RCU_NOCB_WAKE_NOT. This can cause "rdp_gp->nocb_defer_wakeup" to be downgraded and the "rdp_gp->nocb_timer" to be postponed by up to 10 seconds, delaying the execution of hurry RCU callbacks. The trace log of one scenario we encountered is as follow: // previous GP ends at this point rcu_preempt [000] d..1. 137.240210: rcu_grace_period: rcu_preempt 8369 end rcu_preempt [000] ..... 137.240212: rcu_grace_period: rcu_preempt 8372 reqwait // call_rcu_hurry enqueues "percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic_rcu", the callback waited on by UpdateEngine update_engine [002] d..1. 137.301593: __call_rcu_common: wyy: unlikely p_ref = 00000000********. lazy = 0 // FirstQ on cpu 2 rdp_gp->nocb_timer is set to fire after 1 jiffy (4ms) // and the rdp_gp->nocb_defer_wakeup is set to RCU_NOCB_WAKE update_engine [002] d..2. 137.301595: rcu_nocb_wake: rcu_preempt 2 FirstQ on cpu2 with rdp_gp (cpu0). // FirstBQ event on cpu2 during the 1 jiffy, make the timer postpond 10 seconds later. // also, the rdp_gp->nocb_defer_wakeup is overwrite to RCU_NOCB_WAKE_LAZY update_engine [002] d..1. 137.301601: rcu_nocb_wake: rcu_preempt 2 WakeEmptyIsDeferred ... ... ... // before the 10 seconds timeout, cpu0 received another call_rcu_hurry // reset the timer to jiffies+1 and set the waketype = RCU_NOCB_WAKE. kworker/u32:0 [000] d..2. 142.557564: rcu_nocb_wake: rcu_preempt 0 FirstQ kworker/u32:0 [000] d..1. 142.557576: rcu_nocb_wake: rcu_preempt 0 WakeEmptyIsDeferred kworker/u32:0 [000] d..1. 142.558296: rcu_nocb_wake: rcu_preempt 0 WakeNot kworker/u32:0 [000] d..1. 142.558562: rcu_nocb_wake: rcu_preempt 0 WakeNot // idle(do_nocb_deferred_wakeup) wake rcuog due to waketype == RCU_NOCB_WAKE <idle> [000] d..1. 142.558786: rcu_nocb_wake: rcu_preempt 0 DoWake <idle> [000] dN.1. 142.558839: rcu_nocb_wake: rcu_preempt 0 DeferredWake rcuog/0 [000] ..... 142.558871: rcu_nocb_wake: rcu_preempt 0 EndSleep rcuog/0 [000] ..... 142.558877: rcu_nocb_wake: rcu_preempt 0 Check // finally rcuog request a new GP at this point (5 seconds after the FirstQ event) rcuog/0 [000] d..2. 142.558886: rcu_grace_period: rcu_preempt 8372 newreq rcu_preempt [001] d..1. 142.559458: rcu_grace_period: rcu_preempt 8373 start ... rcu_preempt [000] d..1. 142.564258: rcu_grace_period: rcu_preempt 8373 end rcuop/2 [000] D..1. 142.566337: rcu_batch_start: rcu_preempt CBs=219 bl=10 // the hurry CB is invoked at this point rcuop/2 [000] b.... 142.566352: blk_queue_usage_counter_release: wyy: wakeup. p_ref = 00000000********.

2025-07-17smp: Document preemption and stop_machine() mutual exclusionJoel Fernandes
Recently while revising RCU's cpu online checks, there was some discussion around how IPIs synchronize with hotplug. Add comments explaining how preemption disable creates mutual exclusion with CPU hotplug's stop_machine mechanism. The key insight is that stop_machine() atomically updates CPU masks and flushes IPIs with interrupts disabled, and cannot proceed while any CPU (including the IPI sender) has preemption disabled.

2025-07-17sched_ext: idle: Handle migration-disabled tasks in idle selectionAndrea Righi
When SCX_OPS_ENQ_MIGRATION_DISABLED is enabled, migration-disabled tasks are also routed to ops.enqueue(). A scheduler may attempt to dispatch such tasks directly to an idle CPU using the default idle selection policy via scx_bpf_select_cpu_and() or scx_bpf_select_cpu_dfl(). This scenario must be properly handled by the built-in idle policy to avoid returning an idle CPU where the target task isn't allowed to run. Otherwise, it can lead to errors such as: EXIT: runtime error (SCX_DSQ_LOCAL[_ON] cannot move migration disabled Chrome_ChildIOT[291646] from CPU 3 to 14) Prevent this by explicitly handling migration-disabled tasks in the built-in idle selection logic, maintaining their CPU affinity.

2025-07-17workqueue: Use atomic_try_cmpxchg_relaxed() in tryinc_node_nr_active()Uros Bizjak
Use try_cmpxchg() family of locking primitives instead of cmpxchg(*ptr, old, new) == old. The x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in the ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after CMPXCHG (and related move instruction in front of CMPXCHG). Also, try_cmpxchg() implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when CMPXCHG fails. There is no need to re-read the value in the loop.

2025-07-17cgroup: llist: avoid memory tears for llist_nodeShakeel Butt
Before the commit 36df6e3dbd7e ("cgroup: make css_rstat_updated nmi safe"), the struct llist_node is expected to be private to the one inserting the node to the lockless list or the one removing the node from the lockless list. After the mentioned commit, the llist_node in the rstat code is per-cpu shared between the stacked contexts i.e. process, softirq, hardirq & nmi. It is possible the compiler may tear the loads or stores of llist_node. Let's avoid that. KCSAN reported the following race: Reported by Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer on: CPU: 60 UID: 0 PID: 5425 ... 6.16.0-rc3-next-20250626 #1 NONE Tainted: [E]=UNSIGNED_MODULE Hardware name: ... ================================================================== ================================================================== BUG: KCSAN: data-race in css_rstat_flush / css_rstat_updated write to 0xffffe8fffe1c85f0 of 8 bytes by task 1061 on cpu 1: css_rstat_flush+0x1b8/0xeb0 __mem_cgroup_flush_stats+0x184/0x190 flush_memcg_stats_dwork+0x22/0x50 process_one_work+0x335/0x630 worker_thread+0x5f1/0x8a0 kthread+0x197/0x340 ret_from_fork+0xd3/0x110 ret_from_fork_asm+0x11/0x20 read to 0xffffe8fffe1c85f0 of 8 bytes by task 3551 on cpu 15: css_rstat_updated+0x81/0x180 mod_memcg_lruvec_state+0x113/0x2d0 __mod_lruvec_state+0x3d/0x50 lru_add+0x21e/0x3f0 folio_batch_move_lru+0x80/0x1b0 __folio_batch_add_and_move+0xd7/0x160 folio_add_lru_vma+0x42/0x50 do_anonymous_page+0x892/0xe90 __handle_mm_fault+0xfaa/0x1520 handle_mm_fault+0xdc/0x350 do_user_addr_fault+0x1dc/0x650 exc_page_fault+0x5c/0x110 asm_exc_page_fault+0x22/0x30 value changed: 0xffffe8fffe18e0d0 -> 0xffffe8fffe1c85f0 $ ./scripts/faddr2line vmlinux css_rstat_flush+0x1b8/0xeb0 css_rstat_flush+0x1b8/0xeb0: init_llist_node at include/linux/llist.h:86 (inlined by) llist_del_first_init at include/linux/llist.h:308 (inlined by) css_process_update_tree at kernel/cgroup/rstat.c:148 (inlined by) css_rstat_updated_list at kernel/cgroup/rstat.c:258 (inlined by) css_rstat_flush at kernel/cgroup/rstat.c:389 $ ./scripts/faddr2line vmlinux css_rstat_updated+0x81/0x180 css_rstat_updated+0x81/0x180: css_rstat_updated at kernel/cgroup/rstat.c:90 (discriminator 1) These are expected race and a simple READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE resolves these reports. However let's add comments to explain the race and the need for memory barriers if stronger guarantees are needed. More specifically the rstat updater and the flusher can race and cause a scenario where the stats updater skips adding the css to the lockless list but the flusher might not see those updates done by the skipped updater. This is benign race and the subsequent flusher will flush those stats and at the moment there aren't any rstat users which are not fine with this kind of race. However some future user might want more stricter guarantee, so let's add appropriate comments to ease the job of future users.

Avoid invoking update_locked_rq() when the runqueue (rq) pointer is NULL in the SCX_CALL_OP and SCX_CALL_OP_RET macros. Previously, calling update_locked_rq(NULL) with preemption enabled could trigger the following warning: BUG: using __this_cpu_write() in preemptible [00000000] This happens because __this_cpu_write() is unsafe to use in preemptible context. rq is NULL when an ops invoked from an unlocked context. In such cases, we don't need to store any rq, since the value should already be NULL (unlocked). Ensure that update_locked_rq() is only called when rq is non-NULL, preventing calling __this_cpu_write() on preemptible context.

2025-07-16srcu: Expedite SRCU-fast grace periodsPaul E. McKenney
Currently, SRCU-fast grace periods use synchronize_rcu() to provide the needed ordering with readers, even given an expedited SRCU-fast grace period, which isn't all that expedited. This commit therefore instead uses synchronize_rcu_expedited() if there is an expedited SRCU-fast grace period in flight. Of course, given an non-expedited SRCU-fast grace period blocked in synchronize_rcu(), a later request for an expedited SRCU-fast grace period will wait for that synchronize_rcu() to return before switching to use of synchronize_rcu_expedited(). If this turns out to be a real problem for a production workload, we can increase the complexity (but likely also degrade the energy efficiency) to speed things up further. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2025-07-16rcu: Fix rcu_read_unlock() deadloop due to IRQ workJoel Fernandes
During rcu_read_unlock_special(), if this happens during irq_exit(), we can lockup if an IPI is issued. This is because the IPI itself triggers the irq_exit() path causing a recursive lock up. This is precisely what Xiongfeng found when invoking a BPF program on the trace_tick_stop() tracepoint As shown in the trace below. Fix by managing the irq_work state correctly. irq_exit() __irq_exit_rcu() /* in_hardirq() returns false after this */ preempt_count_sub(HARDIRQ_OFFSET) tick_irq_exit() tick_nohz_irq_exit() tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() trace_tick_stop() /* a bpf prog is hooked on this trace point */ __bpf_trace_tick_stop() bpf_trace_run2() rcu_read_unlock_special() /* will send a IPI to itself */ irq_work_queue_on(&rdp->defer_qs_iw, rdp->cpu); A simple reproducer can also be obtained by doing the following in tick_irq_exit().

2025-07-16rcu: Enable rcu_normal_wake_from_gp on small systemsUladzislau Rezki (Sony)
Automatically enable the rcu_normal_wake_from_gp parameter on systems with a small number of CPUs. The activation threshold is set to 16 CPUs. This helps to reduce a latency of normal synchronize_rcu() API by waking up GP-waiters earlier and decoupling synchronize_rcu() callers from regular callback handling. A benchmark running 64 parallel jobs(system with 64 CPUs) invoking synchronize_rcu() demonstrates a notable latency reduction with the setting enabled.

That end won't happen until interrupts are enabled at the soonest. In some kernels, such as those booted with rcutree.use_softirq=y, the irq-work handler is used unconditionally. The per-CPU rcu_data structure's ->defer_qs_iw_pending field is updated by the irq-work handler and is both read and updated by rcu_read_unlock_special(). This resulted in the following KCSAN splat: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BUG: KCSAN: data-race in rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handler / rcu_read_unlock_special read to 0xffff96b95f42d8d8 of 1 bytes by task 90 on cpu 8: rcu_read_unlock_special+0x175/0x260 __rcu_read_unlock+0x92/0xa0 rt_spin_unlock+0x9b/0xc0 __local_bh_enable+0x10d/0x170 __local_bh_enable_ip+0xfb/0x150 rcu_do_batch+0x595/0xc40 rcu_cpu_kthread+0x4e9/0x830 smpboot_thread_fn+0x24d/0x3b0 kthread+0x3bd/0x410 ret_from_fork+0x35/0x40 ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 write to 0xffff96b95f42d8d8 of 1 bytes by task 88 on cpu 8: rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handler+0x1e/0x30 irq_work_single+0xaf/0x160 run_irq_workd+0x91/0xc0 smpboot_thread_fn+0x24d/0x3b0 kthread+0x3bd/0x410 ret_from_fork+0x35/0x40 ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 no locks held by irq_work/8/88. irq event stamp: 200272 hardirqs last enabled at (200272): [<ffffffffb0f56121>] finish_task_switch+0x131/0x320 hardirqs last disabled at (200271): [<ffffffffb25c7859>] __schedule+0x129/0xd70 softirqs last enabled at (0): [<ffffffffb0ee093f>] copy_process+0x4df/0x1cc0 softirqs last disabled at (0): [<0000000000000000>] 0x0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The problem is that irq-work handlers run with interrupts enabled, which means that rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handler() could be interrupted, and that interrupt handler might contain an RCU read-side critical section, which might invoke rcu_read_unlock_special(). In the strict KCSAN mode of operation used by RCU, this constitutes a data race on the ->defer_qs_iw_pending field. This commit therefore disables interrupts across the portion of the rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handler() that updates the ->defer_qs_iw_pending field. This suffices because this handler is not a fast path. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2025-07-15kexec_core: Drop redundant pm_restore_gfp_mask() callRafael J. Wysocki
Drop the direct pm_restore_gfp_mask() call from the KEXEC_JUMP flow in kernel_kexec() because it is redundant. Namely, dpm_resume_end() called beforehand in the same code path invokes that function and it is sufficient to invoke it once. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2025-07-15kexec_core: Fix error code path in the KEXEC_JUMP flowRafael J. Wysocki
If dpm_suspend_start() fails, dpm_resume_end() must be called to recover devices whose suspend callbacks have been called, but this does not happen in the KEXEC_JUMP flow's error path due to a confused goto target label. Address this by using the correct target label in the goto statement in question and drop the Resume_console label that is not used any more.

2025-07-15PM: suspend: clean up redundant filesystems_freeze/thaw() handlingZihuan Zhang
The recently introduced support for freezing filesystems during system suspend included calls to filesystems_freeze() in both suspend_prepare() and enter_state(), as well as calls to filesystems_thaw() in both suspend_finish() and the Unlock path in enter_state(). These are redundant. Moreover, calling filesystems_freeze() twice, from both suspend_prepare() and enter_state(), leads to a black screen and makes the system unable to resume in some cases. Address this as follows: - filesystems_freeze() is already called in suspend_prepare(), which is the proper and consistent place to handle pre-suspend operations. The second call in enter_state() is unnecessary and so remove it. - filesystems_thaw() is invoked in suspend_finish(), which covers successful suspend/resume paths. In the failure case, add a call to filesystems_thaw() only when needed, avoiding the duplicate call in the general Unlock path. This change simplifies the suspend code and avoids repeated freeze/thaw calls, while preserving correct ordering and behavior.
