Those constraints can take into account wall-clock time and as such allow RV monitor to make assertions on real time. Add documentation and code generation scripts. - Add stall monitor as hybrid automaton example Add a monitor that triggers a violation when a task is stalling as an example of automaton working with real time variables. - Convert the opid monitor to a hybrid automaton The opid monitor can be heavily simplified if written as a hybrid automaton: instead of tracking preempt and interrupt enable/disable events, it can just run constraints on the preemption/interrupt states when events like wakeup and need_resched verify. - Add support for per-object monitors in DA/HA Allow writing deterministic and hybrid automata monitors for generic objects (e.g. any struct), by exploiting a hash table where objects are saved. This allows to track more than just tasks in RV. For instance it will be used to track deadline entities in deadline monitors. - Add deadline tracepoints and move some deadline utilities Prepare the ground for deadline monitors by defining events and exporting helpers. - Add nomiss deadline monitor Add first example of deadline monitor asserting all entities complete before their deadline. - Improve rvgen error handling Introduce AutomataError exception class and better handle expected exceptions while showing a backtrace for unexpected ones. - Improve python code quality in rvgen Refactor the rvgen generation scripts to align with python best practices: use f-strings instead of %, use len() instead of __len__(), remove semicolons, use context managers for file operations, fix whitespace violations, extract magic strings into constants, remove unused imports and methods. - Fix small bugs in rvgen The generator scripts presented some corner case bugs: logical error in validating what a correct dot file looks like, fix an isinstance() check, enforce a dot file has an initial state, fix type annotations and typos in comments. - rvgen refactoring Refactor automata.py to use iterator-based parsing and handle required arguments directly in argparse. - Allow epoll in rtapp-sleep monitor The epoll_wait call is now rt-friendly so it should be allowed in the sleep monitor as a valid sleep method. * tag 'trace-rv-v7.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (32 commits) rv: Allow epoll in rtapp-sleep monitor rv/rvgen: fix _fill_states() return type annotation rv/rvgen: fix unbound loop variable warning rv/rvgen: enforce presence of initial state rv/rvgen: extract node marker string to class constant rv/rvgen: fix isinstance check in Variable.expand() rv/rvgen: make monitor arguments required in rvgen rv/rvgen: remove unused __get_main_name method rv/rvgen: remove unused sys import from dot2c rv/rvgen: refactor automata.py to use iterator-based parsing rv/rvgen: use class constant for init marker rv/rvgen: fix DOT file validation logic error rv/rvgen: fix PEP 8 whitespace violations rv/rvgen: fix typos in automata and generator docstring and comments rv/rvgen: use context managers for file operations rv/rvgen: remove unnecessary semicolons rv/rvgen: replace __len__() calls with len() rv/rvgen: replace % string formatting with f-strings rv/rvgen: remove bare except clauses in generator rv/rvgen: introduce AutomataError exception class ... 2026-04-15T22:59:46Z Linus Torvalds torvalds@linux-foundation.org 2026-04-15T22:59:46Z urn:sha1:e4bf304f000e6fcceaf60b1455a5124b783b3a66 Pull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt: - Add remote buffers for pKVM pKVM has a hypervisor component that is used to protect the guest from the host kernel. This hypervisor is a black box to the kernel as the kernel is to user space. The remote buffers are used to have a memory mapping between the hypervisor and the kernel where kernel may send commands to enable tracing within the hypervisor. Then the kernel will read this memory mapping just like user space can read the memory mapped ring buffer of the kernel tracing system. Since the hypervisor only has a single context, it doesn't need to worry about races between normal context, interrupt context and NMIs like the kernel does. The ring buffer it uses doesn't need to be as complex. The remote buffers are a simple version of the ring buffer that works in a single context. They are still per-CPU and use sub buffers. The data layout is the same as the kernel's ring buffer to share the same parsing. Currently, only ARM64 implements pKVM, but there's work to implement it also in x86. The remote buffer code is separated out from the ARM implementation so that it can be used in the future by x86. The ARM64 updates for pKVM is in the ARM/KVM tree and it merged in the remote buffers of this tree. - Make the backup instance non reusable The backup instance is a copy of the persistent ring buffer so that the persistent ring buffer could start recording again without using the data from the previous boot. The backup isn't for normal tracing. It is made read-only, and after it is consumed, it is automatically removed. - Have backup copy persistent instance before it starts recording To allow the persistent ring buffer to start recording from the kernel command line commands, move the copy of the backup instance to before the the command line options start recording. - Report header_page overwrite field as "char" and not "int' The rust parser of the header_page file was triggering a warning when it defined the overwrite variable as "int" but it was only a single byte in size. - Fix memory barriers for the trace_buffer CPU mask When a CPU comes online, the bit is set to allow readers to know that the CPU buffer is allocated. The bit is set after the allocation is done, and a smp_wmb() is performed after the allocation and before the setting of the bit. But instead of adding a smp_rmb() to all readers, since once a buffer is created for a CPU it is not deleted if that CPU goes offline, so this allocation is almost always done at boot up before any readers exist. If for the unlikely case where a CPU comes online for the first time after the system boot has finished, send an IPI to all CPUs to force the smp_rmb() for each CPU. - Show clock function being used in debugging ring buffer data When the ring buffer checks are enabled and the ring buffer detects an inconsistency in the times of the invents, print out the clock being used when the error occurred. There was a very hard to hit bug that would happen every so often and it ended up being only triggered when the jiffies clock was being used. If the bug showed the clock being used, it would have been much easier to find the problem (which was an internal function was being traced which caused the clock accounting to go off). * tag 'trace-ringbuffer-v7.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (26 commits) ring-buffer: Prevent off-by-one array access in ring_buffer_desc_page() ring-buffer: Report header_page overwrite as char tracing: Allow backup to save persistent ring buffer before it starts tracing/Documentation: Add a section about backup instance tracing: Remove the backup instance automatically after read tracing: Make the backup instance non-reusable ring-buffer: Enforce read ordering of trace_buffer cpumask and buffers ring-buffer: Show what clock function is used on timestamp errors tracing: Check for undefined symbols in simple_ring_buffer tracing: load/unload page callbacks for simple_ring_buffer Documentation: tracing: Add tracing remotes tracing: selftests: Add trace remote tests tracing: Add a trace remote module for testing tracing: Introduce simple_ring_buffer ring-buffer: Export buffer_data_page and macros tracing: Add helpers to create trace remote events tracing: Add events/ root files to trace remotes tracing: Add events to trace remotes tracing: Add init callback to trace remotes tracing: Add non-consuming read to trace remotes ... 2026-04-15T22:57:11Z Linus Torvalds torvalds@linux-foundation.org 2026-04-15T22:57:11Z urn:sha1:15218296329e489d861a3e4fd2bd299afc115b8e Pull ftrace update from Steven Rostedt: - Speed up ftrace_lookup_symbols() for single lookups The kallsyms lookup in ftrace_lookup_symbols() does a linear search over each symbol.

This involves substantial restructuring of the core dispatch, bypass, watchdog, and dump paths to be per-scheduler, along with new infrastructure for scheduler ownership enforcement, lifecycle management, and cgroup subtree iteration The enqueue path is not yet updated and will follow in a later cycle - scx_bpf_dsq_reenq() generalized to support any DSQ including remote local DSQs and user DSQs Built on top of this, SCX_ENQ_IMMED guarantees that tasks dispatched to local DSQs either run immediately or get reenqueued back through ops.enqueue(), giving schedulers tighter control over queueing latency Also useful for opportunistic CPU sharing across sub-schedulers - ops.dequeue() was only invoked when the core knew a task was in BPF data structures, missing scheduling property change events and skipping callbacks for non-local DSQ dispatches from ops.select_cpu() Fixed to guarantee exactly one ops.dequeue() call when a task leaves BPF scheduler custody - Kfunc access validation moved from runtime to BPF verifier time, removing runtime mask enforcement - Idle SMT sibling prioritization in the idle CPU selection path - Documentation, selftest, and tooling updates.

On top of that, allow opening pid_for_children before the pid namespace init has been created. This lets one process create the pid namespace and a different process create the init via setns(), which makes clone3(set_tid) usable in all cases evenly and is particularly useful to CRIU when restoring nested containers. A new selftest covers both the basic create-pidns-then-init flow and the cross-process variant, and a MAINTAINERS entry for the pid namespace code is added. - unrelated signal cleanup: update outdated comment for the removed freezable_schedule() * tag 'kernel-7.1-rc1.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: signal: update outdated comment for removed freezable_schedule() MAINTAINERS: add a pid namespace entry selftests: Add tests for creating pidns init via setns pid_namespace: allow opening pid_for_children before init was created pid: check init is created first after idr alloc pid_namespace: avoid optimization of accesses to ->child_reaper
