9 daysselftests/bpf: Test packet range of pointers sharing an idgraftedAlexei Starovoitov
Add tests where two packet pointers share an id and tightening one pointer's umax from its var_off would put it less than their constant distance from the other's umax: with an index & 0x38 capped at 50, the base pointer keeps umax 50, so the pointer 8 bytes further on must keep umax 58, even though its known bits allow at most 56. These refused a valid program or accepted an out-of-bounds access before the fix: - check the advanced copy, load through the base: valid, was refused; - check the base, load the byte at base + 1 through a copy advanced by 8: was accepted; - check base + 4, load 4 bytes at base + 2 through base + 8: reads two bytes past the checked range, was accepted; - the same as the second with data_meta pointers checked against data: was accepted. These pass with and without the fix and cover nearby paths: - subtract an unknown scalar from a checked pointer and load below it (the range is kept across a new id); - reach a load through two paths whose checks cover 8 and 7 bytes after the loaded pointer; the second path must not be pruned by the first; - spill a copy of a pointer, check the pointer, fill the copy and load one byte past the checked range: the load is refused, and the copy has the range of the check.

9 daysperf: Replace perf_event_header__init_id with full header initIan Rogers
perf_iterate_sb() invokes its callback for each matching perf_event on the CPU and task context, passing a shared caller-allocated event structure. perf_event_header__init_id() mutated header->size in place by adding event->id_header_size, requiring sideband output callbacks to save and restore header fields across iterations. Three sideband callbacks failed to save and restore header.size around perf_event_header__init_id(): - perf_event_ksymbol_output() - perf_event_bpf_output() - perf_event_text_poke_output() When multiple events with attr.ksymbol, attr.bpf_event, or attr.text_poke and sample_id_all are active on the same CPU, each subsequent event receives a record whose header.size is inflated by all preceding events' id_header_size values while only a single id_sample is written, leaving uninitialized ring-buffer bytes at the end of the record and causing userspace perf to fail with -EFAULT ("Bad address") when parsing the sample_id trailer. Similarly, perf_event_mmap_output() set PERF_RECORD_MISC_MMAP_BUILD_ID in mmap_event->event_id.header.misc when event->attr.build_id was enabled, but only saved and restored header.size and header.type. If an event with attr.build_id was followed by an event with attr.mmap2 and !attr.build_id, the second event received PERF_RECORD_MISC_MMAP_BUILD_ID in header.misc while its payload contained maj/min/ino/ino_generation instead of a build ID. Rather than splitting header initialization between callers and output callbacks and saving/restoring mutated header fields, replace perf_event_header__init_id() with perf_event_header__init(), which initializes header->type, header->misc, and header->size alongside the sample_id fields on each invocation.

10 daystty: fix saved termios reset raceJohan Hovold
Resetting saved termios state on device registration is needed where a minor number can be reused for an entirely different device and where the old settings may prevent the port from even being opened (e.g. when CLOCAL is not set). Not all TTY drivers guarantee that the minor number is no longer in use when registering devices however, something which can lead to a use-after-free when closing a TTY (and saving its termios) races with re-registration. Add a new TTY_DRIVER_RESET_SAVED_TERMIOS flag to request that any saved termios state is reset on registration and only set it for drivers that make sure that the minor number is no longer in use.

10 daysusb: gadget: f_uac1_legacy: validate bRequest index in generic_{set,get}_cmdgraftedLiu Chao
generic_set_cmd() and generic_get_cmd() use the low nibble of ctrl->bRequest as an index into con->data[]: u8 cmd = (ctrl->bRequest & 0x0F); /* 0 .. 15 */ ... con->data[cmd] = value; /* OOB when cmd >= 5 */ struct usb_audio_control (include/linux/usb/audio.h) declares data as a 5-element array, so indices 5 through 15 write (or read) up to 44 bytes past the end of the array on the heap. A malicious USB host can craft a class-specific SET_CUR / GET_CUR request with an arbitrary bRequest value, triggering the out-of-bounds access from an IRQ completion handler with no further preconditions. Add an ARRAY_SIZE() guard to both functions.

10 daysnetfs: zero the tail of a short DIO/unbuffered readgraftedPaulo Alcantara
The buffered read collector zero-fills the tail of a short read that stops below the inode's i_size (netfs_clear_unread()), so a read that races an extending write still returns the expected number of bytes. The non-buffered collector path does no such thing: it just records how much was transferred. Add the same zero-fill for the non-buffered case, gated on NETFS_SREQ_CLEAR_TAIL: a subreq's source sets that flag when a short result from it is known to be safe to treat as a hole, as opposed to NETFS_SREQ_HIT_EOF, which means the read genuinely ran off the end of the file and should be reported short as-is. Only CLEAR_TAIL should zero-fill here; a real EOF must stay a real short read. No source currently sets CLEAR_TAIL on an unbuffered/DIO subrequest, so this is inert on its own -- a following change teaches cifs to set it in the one case that needs it.

11 dayshrtimer: Use the mask to clear TIF_HRTIMER_REARM from the exit workKarl Mehltretter
hrtimer_rearm_deferred_user_irq() removes the rearm bit from the local copy of the TIF work with: *tif_work &= ~TIF_HRTIMER_REARM; TIF_HRTIMER_REARM is the bit number (12), not the mask. That clears TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL (bit 2) and TIF_MEMDIE (bit 3) from the copy and leaves bit 12 set. So the function never returns true, and the copy handed to exit_to_user_mode_loop() lacks TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL. If that was the only work for the loop, the task returns to user space with the task work still pending. hrtimer_interrupt() sets TIF_HRTIMER_REARM every time, so the next tick repeats that. Task work queued with TWA_SIGNAL from a hrtimer callback stays pending until the task does a syscall, takes an interrupt without deferred rearm or has to reschedule. A task which polls the io_uring completion ring in user space sees a timeout completion after 30ms (median) instead of 70us. 2 CPU QEMU guest, HZ=1000. Use the mask.

2026-09-26KVM: SEV: Do cache maintenance on the source VM during intra-host migrationgraftedSean Christopherson
Manually perform cache maintenance on the source VM during intra-host migration to ensure no stale data is left in CPU caches after the VM is destroyed. Because the source VM is "converted" to a non-SEV VM, KVM's memory reclaim flows won't trigger cache maintenance, e.g. when all guest memory is reclaimed in response to detaching from the mmu_notifier. Note, relying on the destination VM to do cache maintenance isn't an option as KVM doesn't require identical guest memory configurations, i.e. the source VM may have access to memory that the destination VM does not. Enforcing equivalent memory configurations is infeasible, as it would require a *deep* comparison of memslots, e.g. to verify that not only are the memslot identical, but what the memslots point at is also identical.

2026-09-23perf/core: Fill branch entries with a single assignmentPuranjay Mohan
perf_clear_branch_entry_bitfields() clears the bitfields of struct perf_branch_entry one by one and leaves from/to alone, since callers overwrite those straight away. The list has to be kept in sync with the struct by hand and has already fallen behind: new_type and priv were added to perf_branch_entry and never added here. Only BRBE writes those two, and neither for every record. brbe_set_perf_entry_type() leaves new_type alone for a branch type it does not recognise, and priv is not set for source-only records. arm_pmuv3.c allocates the per-CPU branch stack with kmalloc(), so such a record reaches userspace with whatever the slot held: uninitialised kmalloc() data on the first pass over the buffer, the previous record's values after that. Nothing under arch/x86/events/ writes either field, so only arm64 is affected. Assign the whole entry at each site instead. Everything not named is then zero, and there is no list to keep in sync. The bitfields add up to exactly 64 bits, so the struct has no padding to leave undefined. perf_clear_branch_entry_bitfields() has no callers left, so remove it. perf_entry_from_brbe_regset() assigns an empty literal instead, since it fills from/to conditionally. PERF_BR_SPEC_NA is 0, so dropping the explicit spec assignment changes nothing.

2026-09-22sched/cache: Refresh LLC capacity across CPU hotplug, to fix capacity ↵Davi Chaves Azevedo
underestimation bug The scheduler scales LLC capacity by the fraction of cache-sharing CPUs covered by a domain: llc_bytes = cache_size * span_weight / shared_weight During CPU teardown, sched_cpu_deactivate() rebuilds scheduler domains before cacheinfo_cpu_pre_down() removes the CPU from shared_cpu_map. The new domains therefore use the old sharing weight. The later call to sched_update_llc_bytes() looks up the departing CPU's sd_llc, which has already been detached, and returns without correcting the surviving CPUs. On a Ryzen 5 7535U with twelve logical CPUs sharing a 16 MiB LLC, offlining one SMT sibling left the remaining CPUs with: llc_bytes = floor(16777216 * 11 / 12) = 15379114 bytes The correct capacity is still 16777216 bytes. On systems with active cache-aware scheduling, an underestimated capacity can cause exceed_llc_capacity() to reject aggregation for a process whose footprint would fit. Unchanged cpuset partitions sharing the physical cache can also retain stale capacity when a CPU comes online in another partition. Pass the cache-sharing mask already retained by cacheinfo to the scheduler update. Refresh every surviving CPU using its own LLC domain so that each partition receives the correct share. This also preserves the correction needed as cache-sharing maps grow during boot. Keep the existing CPU-hotplug and scheduler-domain synchronization. The update remains on the hotplug path; no steady-state scheduling operation or persistent allocation is added.

2026-09-22sched/cache: Introduce task_struct->sched_cache_grp to fix UAFTim Chen
Add a sched_cache_grp pointer to task_struct so that scheduler code can access the cache group directly via the task, without going through mm->sched_cache_grp. This decouples the scheduler's hot-path accesses from the mm_struct. Each task holds its own refcount on the sched_cache_group, separate from the reference held by its mm_struct. The reference is acquired in copy_mm() (fork) and exec_mmap() (exec), and released in exit_mm(). This fixes the use-after-free when account_mm_sched() reaches the group through a task whose mm is being switched, as reported by Hyunwoo: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/apPb-Dr4nPYuHQOK@v4bel/ Convert all scheduler code in fair.c and exit.c to use p->sched_cache_grp instead of p->mm->sched_cache_grp. Keep the fork/exec/exit reference management out of the generic mm paths: add sched_cache_fork(), sched_cache_fork_cleanup(), sched_cache_exec_mmap() and sched_cache_exit_mm() in kernel/sched/cache_sched.c (with empty stubs for !CONFIG_SCHED_CACHE), so fs/exec.c, kernel/fork.c and kernel/exit.c each call one helper instead of open-coding the refcounting under #ifdef. Also add sched_cache_group_get() and task_cache_group_get().

2026-09-22sched/cache: Decouple sched_cache_group from mm to fix UAFTim Chen
Currently the sched cache grouping is by mm and the scheduling statistics sched_cache_stat lives in the mm structure. This ties the life cycle of scheduling stats with mm. In account_mm_sched(), the scheduling stats are accessed by task->mm->sc_stat. However, a task may be switching mm on one CPU when another CPU is running account_mm_sched(), and possibly accessing the old mm that was freed. This problem was found when running tests with KASAN by Hyunwoo: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/apPb-Dr4nPYuHQOK@v4bel/ Instead of serializing the mm access by introducing extra acquisition of rq lock in the mm free path, extract sched_cache_stat from mm_struct, rename it as sched_cache_group and manage its life cycle apart from mm_struct with its own ref counting. This allows us in the next patch access sched_cache_group directly from task, and add a refcount on sched_cache_group when a task links to it. This prevents the use after free issue when accessing stale and released old mm and its sched cache stat a task switches to a new mm while account_mm_sched() is done elsewhere. The other benefit of this restructure is in the future, the grouping of tasks to a LLC would have the flexibility to be associated with a user defined grouping, or cgroup, cookie group, numa_group or others instead of just with a single mm address space. Rename sched_cache_stat to sched_cache_group and turn it into a refcounted object allocated from mm_struct. The mm_struct now holds a pointer (sched_cache_grp) to this object instead of embedding it.

2026-09-22sched/cache: Keep nr_pref_llc_running in the runnable domain, to fix LLC ↵graftedTim Chen
mis-scheduling bug alb_break_llc() decides whether to break LLC preference during active load balance. It does so by testing that every runnable fair task on the source rq prefers its LLC: env->src_rq->nr_pref_llc_running == env->src_rq->cfs.h_nr_runnable But the two counters cover different sets. nr_pref_llc_running is updated in account_llc_enqueue()/account_llc_dequeue(), next to cfs_rq->nr_queued, so it follows queued tasks. h_nr_runnable is updated in set_delayed()/ clear_delayed() and drops delay-dequeued tasks. So under DELAY_DEQUEUE, a preferring task that goes to sleep stays counted in nr_pref_llc_running while h_nr_runnable falls. The equality then breaks, alb_break_llc() returns false, and active balance is free to pull a task off its preferred LLC. Active balance only moves runnable tasks, and this is the only LLC check it consults: once the stopper runs, LBF_ACTIVE_LB skips the per-task test in can_migrate_task(). The runnable set is the one we want. Fix it on the counter side. A task should be counted in nr_pref_llc_running exactly while it is both queued on its preferred LLC (pref_llc_queued) and runnable (!sched_delayed). Define that membership once in task_pref_llc_runnable(), and adjust the counter only through pref_llc_running_inc()/pref_llc_running_dec() from the four sites that change either input: account_llc_enqueue(), account_llc_dequeue(), set_delayed() and clear_delayed(). Gating every update on the same predicate keeps the delay, wake and dequeue paths from double-counting or underflowing; see the comments at those sites for the ordering. nr_llc_running and sd->llc_counts are not touched and stay on queued semantics.
