fork: use pidfd_prepare()

2025-06-04T12:40:25Z

commit ca7707f5430ad6b1c9cb7cee0a7f67d69328bb2d upstream. Stop open-coding get_unused_fd_flags() and anon_inode_getfile(). That's brittle just for keeping the flags between both calls in sync.

pid: add pidfd_prepare()

2025-06-04T12:40:25Z

commit 6ae930d9dbf2d093157be33428538c91966d8a9f upstream. Add a new helper that allows to reserve a pidfd and allocates a new pidfd file that stashes the provided struct pid. This will allow us to remove places that either open code this function or that call pidfd_create() but then have to call close_fd() because there are still failure points after pidfd_create() has been called.

hrtimers: Force migrate away hrtimers queued after CPUHP_AP_HRTIMERS_DYING

2025-06-04T12:40:22Z

commit 53dac345395c0d2493cbc2f4c85fe38aef5b63f5 upstream. hrtimers are migrated away from the dying CPU to any online target at the CPUHP_AP_HRTIMERS_DYING stage in order not to delay bandwidth timers handling tasks involved in the CPU hotplug forward progress. However wakeups can still be performed by the outgoing CPU after CPUHP_AP_HRTIMERS_DYING. Those can result again in bandwidth timers being armed. Depending on several considerations (crystal ball power management based election, earliest timer already enqueued, timer migration enabled or not), the target may eventually be the current CPU even if offline. If that happens, the timer is eventually ignored. The most notable example is RCU which had to deal with each and every of those wake-ups by deferring them to an online CPU, along with related workarounds: _ e787644caf76 (rcu: Defer RCU kthreads wakeup when CPU is dying) _ 9139f93209d1 (rcu/nocb: Fix RT throttling hrtimer armed from offline CPU) _ f7345ccc62a4 (rcu/nocb: Fix rcuog wake-up from offline softirq) The problem isn't confined to RCU though as the stop machine kthread (which runs CPUHP_AP_HRTIMERS_DYING) reports its completion at the end of its work through cpu_stop_signal_done() and performs a wake up that eventually arms the deadline server timer: WARNING: CPU: 94 PID: 588 at kernel/time/hrtimer.c:1086 hrtimer_start_range_ns+0x289/0x2d0 CPU: 94 UID: 0 PID: 588 Comm: migration/94 Not tainted Stopper: multi_cpu_stop+0x0/0x120 <- stop_machine_cpuslocked+0x66/0xc0 RIP: 0010:hrtimer_start_range_ns+0x289/0x2d0 Call Trace: start_dl_timer enqueue_dl_entity dl_server_start enqueue_task_fair enqueue_task ttwu_do_activate try_to_wake_up complete cpu_stopper_thread Instead of providing yet another bandaid to work around the situation, fix it in the hrtimers infrastructure instead: always migrate away a timer to an online target whenever it is enqueued from an offline CPU. This will also allow to revert all the above RCU disgraceful hacks.

padata: do not leak refcount in reorder_work

2025-06-04T12:40:20Z

commit d6ebcde6d4ecf34f8495fb30516645db3aea8993 upstream. A recent patch that addressed a UAF introduced a reference count leak: the parallel_data refcount is incremented unconditionally, regardless of the return value of queue_work(). If the work item is already queued, the incremented refcount is never decremented. Fix this by checking the return value of queue_work() and decrementing the refcount when necessary.

perf: Avoid the read if the count is already updated

2025-06-04T12:40:16Z

[ Upstream commit 8ce939a0fa194939cc1f92dbd8bc1a7806e7d40a ] The event may have been updated in the PMU-specific implementation, e.g., Intel PEBS counters snapshotting. The common code should not read and overwrite the value. The PERF_SAMPLE_READ in the data->sample_type can be used to detect whether the PMU-specific value is available. If yes, avoid the pmu->read() in the common code. Add a new flag, skip_read, to track the case. Factor out a perf_pmu_read() to clean up the code.

rcu: handle unstable rdp in rcu_read_unlock_strict()

2025-06-04T12:40:16Z

[ Upstream commit fcf0e25ad4c8d14d2faab4d9a17040f31efce205 ] rcu_read_unlock_strict() can be called with preemption enabled which can make for an unstable rdp and a racy norm value. Fix this by dropping the preempt-count in __rcu_read_unlock() after the call to rcu_read_unlock_strict(), adjusting the preempt-count check appropriately.

rcu: handle quiescent states for PREEMPT_RCU=n, PREEMPT_COUNT=y

2025-06-04T12:40:16Z

[ Upstream commit 83b28cfe796464ebbde1cf7916c126da6d572685 ] With PREEMPT_RCU=n, cond_resched() provides urgently needed quiescent states for read-side critical sections via rcu_all_qs(). One reason why this was needed: lacking preempt-count, the tick handler has no way of knowing whether it is executing in a read-side critical section or not. With (PREEMPT_LAZY=y, PREEMPT_DYNAMIC=n), we get (PREEMPT_COUNT=y, PREEMPT_RCU=n). In this configuration cond_resched() is a stub and does not provide quiescent states via rcu_all_qs(). (PREEMPT_RCU=y provides this information via rcu_read_unlock() and its nesting counter.) So, use the availability of preempt_count() to report quiescent states in rcu_flavor_sched_clock_irq().

perf/hw_breakpoint: Return EOPNOTSUPP for unsupported breakpoint type

2025-06-04T12:40:09Z

[ Upstream commit 061c991697062f3bf87b72ed553d1d33a0e370dd ] Currently, __reserve_bp_slot() returns -ENOSPC for unsupported breakpoint types on the architecture. For example, powerpc does not support hardware instruction breakpoints. This causes the perf_skip BPF selftest to fail, as neither ENOENT nor EOPNOTSUPP is returned by perf_event_open for unsupported breakpoint types. As a result, the test that should be skipped for this arch is not correctly identified. To resolve this, hw_breakpoint_event_init() should exit early by checking for unsupported breakpoint types using hw_breakpoint_slots_cached() and return the appropriate error (-EOPNOTSUPP).

timer_list: Don't use %pK through printk()

2025-06-04T12:40:07Z

[ Upstream commit a52067c24ccf6ee4c85acffa0f155e9714f9adce ] This reverts commit f590308536db ("timer debug: Hide kernel addresses via %pK in /proc/timer_list") The timer list helper SEQ_printf() uses either the real seq_printf() for procfs output or vprintk() to print to the kernel log, when invoked from SysRq-q. It uses %pK for printing pointers. In the past %pK was prefered over %p as it would not leak raw pointer values into the kernel log. Since commit ad67b74d2469 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p") the regular %p has been improved to avoid this issue. Furthermore, restricted pointers ("%pK") were never meant to be used through printk(). They can still unintentionally leak raw pointers or acquire sleeping looks in atomic contexts. Switch to the regular pointer formatting which is safer, easier to reason about and sufficient here.
