git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull runtime verification updates from Steven Rostedt: - Added Linear temporal logic monitors for RT application Real-time applications may have design flaws causing them to have unexpected latency. For example, the applications may raise page faults, or may be blocked trying to take a mutex without priority inheritance. However, while attempting to implement DA monitors for these real-time rules, deterministic automaton is found to be inappropriate as the specification language. The automaton is complicated, hard to understand, and error-prone. For these cases, linear temporal logic is found to be more suitable. The LTL is more concise and intuitive. - Make printk_deferred() public The new monitors needed access to printk_deferred(). Make them visible for the entire kernel. - Add a vpanic() to allow for va_list to be passed to panic. - Add rtapp container monitor. A collection of monitors that check for common problems with real-time applications that cause unexpected latency. - Add page fault tracepoints to risc-v These tracepoints are necessary to for the RV monitor to run on risc-v. - Fix the behaviour of the rv tool with -s and idle tasks. - Allow the rv tool to gracefully terminate with SIGTERM - Adjusts dot2c not to create lines over 100 columns - Properly order nested monitors in the RV Kconfig file - Return the registration error in all DA monitor instead of 0 - Update and add new sched collection monitors Replace tss and sncid monitors with more complete sts: Not only prove that switches occur in scheduling context and scheduling needs interrupt disabled but also that each call to the scheduler disables interrupts to (optionally) switch. New monitor: nrp Preemption requires need resched which is cleared by any switch (includes a non optimal workaround for /nested/ preemptions) New monitor: sssw suspension requires setting the task to sleepable and, after the switch occurs, the task requires a wakeup to come back to runnable New monitor: opid waking and need-resched operations occur with interrupts and preemption disabled or in IRQ without explicitly disabling preemption" * tag 'trace-rv-6.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (48 commits) rv: Add opid per-cpu monitor rv: Add nrp and sssw per-task monitors rv: Replace tss and sncid monitors with more complete sts sched: Adapt sched tracepoints for RV task model rv: Retry when da monitor detects race conditions rv: Adjust monitor dependencies rv: Use strings in da monitors tracepoints rv: Remove trailing whitespace from tracepoint string rv: Add da_handle_start_run_event_ to per-task monitors rv: Fix wrong type cast in reactors_show() and monitor_reactor_show() rv: Fix wrong type cast in monitors_show() rv: Remove struct rv_monitor::reacting rv: Remove rv_reactor's reference counter rv: Merge struct rv_reactor_def into struct rv_reactor rv: Merge struct rv_monitor_def into struct rv_monitor rv: Remove unused field in struct rv_monitor_def rv: Return init error when registering monitors verification/rvgen: Organise Kconfig entries for nested monitors tools/dot2c: Fix generated files going over 100 column limit tools/rv: Stop gracefully also on SIGTERM ...
2025-07-30Merge tag 'trace-ringbuffer-v6.17' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt: - Rewind persistent ring buffer on boot When the persistent ring buffer is being used for live kernel tracing and the system crashes, the tool that is reading the trace may not have recorded the data when the system crashed. Although the persistent ring buffer still has that data, when reading it after a reboot, it will start where it left off. That is, what was read will not be accessible. Instead, on reboot, have the persistent ring buffer restart where the data starts and this will allow the tooling to recover what was lost when the crash occurred. - Remove the ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync() logic Reading the trace file required stopping writing to the ring buffer as the trace file is only an iterator and does not consume what it read. It was originally not safe to read the ring buffer in this mode and required disabling writing. The ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync() logic was used to stop each per_cpu ring buffer, call synchronize_rcu() and then start the iterator. This was used instead of calling synchronize_rcu() for each per_cpu buffer. Today, the iterator has been updated where it is safe to read the trace file while writing to the ring buffer is still occurring. There is no more need to do this synchronization and it is causing large delays on machines with many CPUs. Remove this unneeded synchronization. - Make static string array a constant in show_irq_str() Making the string array into a constant has shown to decrease code text/data size. * tag 'trace-ringbuffer-v6.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: ring-buffer: Make the const read-only 'type' static ring-buffer: Remove ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync() tracing: ring_buffer: Rewind persistent ring buffer on reboot
2025-07-30Merge tag 'ftrace-v6.17' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt: - Keep track of when fgraph_ops are registered or not Keep accounting of when fgraph_ops are registered as if a fgraph_ops is registered twice it can mess up the accounting and it will not work as expected later. Trigger a warning if something registers it twice as to catch bugs before they are found by things just not working as expected. - Make DYNAMIC_FTRACE always enabled for architectures that support it As static ftrace (where all functions are always traced) is very expensive and only exists to help architectures support ftrace, do not make it an option. As soon as an architecture supports DYNAMIC_FTRACE make it use it. This simplifies the code. - Remove redundant config HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD The CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT was added to help simplify the DYNAMIC_FTRACE work, but now every architecture that implements DYNAMIC_FTRACE also has HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT set too, making it redundant with the HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE. - Make pid_ptr string size match the comment In print_graph_proc() the pid_ptr string is of size 11, but the comment says /* sign + log10(MAX_INT) + '\0' */ which is actually 12. * tag 'ftrace-v6.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: tracing: Remove redundant config HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD ftrace: Make DYNAMIC_FTRACE always enabled for architectures that support it fgraph: Keep track of when fgraph_ops are registered or not fgraph: Make pid_str size match the comment
2025-07-30Merge tag 'ktest-v6.17' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-ktest Pull ktest updates from Steven Rostedt: - Add new -D option that allows to override variables and options For example: ./ktest.pl -DPATCH_START:=HEAD~1 -DOUTPUT_DIR=/work/build/urgent config The above sets the variable "PATCH_START" to HEAD~1 and the OUTPUT_DIR option to "/work/build/urgent". This is useful because currently the only way to make a slight change to a config file is by modifying that config file. For one time changes, this can be annoying. Having a way to do a one time override from the command line simplifies the workflow. Temp variables (PATCH_START) will override every temp variable in the config file, whereas options will act like a normal OVERRIDE option and will only affect the session they define. -DBUILD_OUTPUT=/work/git/linux.git Replaces the default BUILD_OUTPUT option. '-DBUILD_OUTPUT[2]=/work/git/linux.git' Only replaces the BUILD_OUTPUT variable for test #2. - If an option contains itself, just drop it instead of going into an infinite loop and failing to parse (it doesn't crash, it detects the recursion after 100 iterations anyway). Some configs may define a variable with the same name as the option: ADD_CONFIG := $(ADD_CONFIG) But if the option doesn't exist, it the above will fail to parse. In these cases, just ignore evaluating the option inside the definition of another option if it has the same name. - Display the BUILD_DIR and OUTPUT_DIR options at the start of every test It is useful to know which kernel source and what destination a test is using when it starts, in case a mistake is made. This makes it easier to abort the test if the wrong source or destination is being used instead of waiting until the test completes. - Add new PATCHCHECK_SKIP option When testing a series of commits that also includes changes to the Linux tools directory, it is useless to test the changes in tools as they may not affect the kernel itself. Doing tests on the kernel for changes that do not affect the kernel is a waste of time. Add a PATCHCHECK_SKIP that takes a series of shas that will be skipped while doing the individual commit tests. * tag 'ktest-v6.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-ktest: ktest.pl: Add new PATCHCHECK_SKIP option to skip testing individual commits ktest.pl: Always display BUILD_DIR and OUTPUT_DIR at the start of tests ktest.pl: Prevent recursion of default variable options ktest.pl: Have -D option work without a space ktest.pl: Allow command option -D to override temp variables ktest.pl: Add -D option to override options

2025-07-29compiler_types: Provide __no_kstack_erase to disable coverage only on ClangKees Cook
In order to support Clang's stack depth tracking (for Linux's kstack_erase feature), the coverage sanitizer needed to be disabled for __init (and __head) section code. Doing this universally (i.e. for GCC too) created a number of unexpected problems, ranging from changes to inlining logic to failures to DCE code on earlier GCC versions. Since this change is only needed for Clang, specialize it so that GCC doesn't see the change as it isn't needed there (the GCC implementation of kstack_erase uses a GCC plugin that removes stack depth tracking instrumentation from __init sections during a late pass in the IR). Successfully build and boot tested with GCC 12 and Clang 22.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull timekeeping and VDSO updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Introduce support for auxiliary timekeepers PTP clocks can be disconnected from the universal CLOCK_TAI reality for various reasons including regularatory requirements for functional safety redundancy. The kernel so far only supports a single notion of time, which means that all clocks are correlated in frequency and only differ by offset to each other. Access to non-correlated PTP clocks has been available so far only through the file descriptor based "POSIX clock IDs", which are subject to locking and have to go all the way out to the hardware. The access is not only horribly slow, as it has to go all the way out to the NIC/PTP hardware, but that also prevents the kernel to read the time of such clocks e.g. from the network stack, where it is required for TSN networking both on the transmit and receive side unless the hardware provides offloading. The auxiliary clocks provide a mechanism to support arbitrary clocks which are not correlated to the system clock. This is not restricted to the PTP use case on purpose as there is no kernel side association of these clocks to a particular PTP device because that's a pure user space configuration decision. Having them independent allows to utilize them for other purposes and also enables them to be tested without hardware dependencies. To avoid pointless overhead these clocks have to be enabled individualy via a new sysfs interface to reduce the overhead to a single compare in the hotpath if they are enabled at the Kconfig level at all. These clocks utilize the existing timekeeping/NTP infrastructures, which has been made possible over the recent releases by incrementaly converting these infrastructures over from a single static instance to a multi-instance pointer based implementation without any performance regression reported. The auxiliary clocks provide the same "emulation" of a "correct" clock as the existing CLOCK_* variants do with an independent instance of data and provide the same steering mechanism through the existing sys_clock_adjtime() interface, which has been confirmed to work by the chronyd(8) maintainer. That allows to provide lockless kernel internal and VDSO support so that applications and kernel internal functionalities can access these clocks without restrictions and at the same performance as the existing system clocks. - Avoid double notifications in the adjtimex() syscall. Not a big issue, but a trivial to avoid latency source. * tag 'timers-ptp-2025-07-27' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (39 commits) vdso/gettimeofday: Add support for auxiliary clocks vdso/vsyscall: Update auxiliary clock data in the datapage vdso: Introduce aux_clock_resolution_ns() vdso/gettimeofday: Introduce vdso_get_timestamp() vdso/gettimeofday: Introduce vdso_set_timespec() vdso/gettimeofday: Introduce vdso_clockid_valid() vdso/gettimeofday: Return bool from clock_gettime() helpers vdso/gettimeofday: Return bool from clock_getres() helpers vdso/helpers: Add helpers for seqlocks of single vdso_clock vdso/vsyscall: Split up __arch_update_vsyscall() into __arch_update_vdso_clock() vdso/vsyscall: Introduce a helper to fill clock configurations timekeeping: Remove the temporary CLOCK_AUX workaround timekeeping: Provide ktime_get_clock_ts64() timekeeping: Provide interface to control auxiliary clocks timekeeping: Provide update for auxiliary timekeepers timekeeping: Provide adjtimex() for auxiliary clocks timekeeping: Prepare do_adtimex() for auxiliary clocks timekeeping: Make do_adjtimex() reusable timekeeping: Add auxiliary clock support to __timekeeping_inject_offset() timekeeping: Make timekeeping_inject_offset() reusable ...

Solve this by checking whether the interrupt is redirected to a new target CPU and if the interrupt is handled on that new target CPU, busy wait for completion instead of masking it and sending the pending but which would cause the old CPU to re-run the handler and in the worst case repeating this excercise for a long time. This only works on architectures which use single CPU interrupt targets, but that's so far the only ones where this behaviour has been observed. - Add a kunit test for interrupt disable depth counts The nested interrupt disable depth has been an issue in the past especially vs. free_irq(), interrupt shutdown and CPU hotplug and their interactions.
