git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt: - Deprecrate ftrace_enabled in disabling ftrace The file /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled was created when ftrace was first introduced back in 2008. It was to be a "kill switch" if something was to go wrong. It was also used as a way to turn off function tracing for the latency tracers that would have it on by default. But in 2013 (Linux 3.10) the option "function-trace" was introduced to disable function tracing for the latency tracers as the "ftrace_enabled" file was considered too big of a hammer and caused too many side effects. When live kernel patching came along, disabling ftrace via the ftrace_enabled file would put the system into an unstable state if a live kernel patch was installed. This created the need to mark some function hooks as "PERMANENT". Now there's a need for BPF usage marked as PERMANENT for the same reasons. The file "ftrace_enabled" usage is no longer viable. It doesn't do what it says it does and there is no reason to use it. Make writing '0' to it a nop and print a message saying its usage is deprecated. The return value of writing '0' is -EOPNOTSUPP so that user space will error on that write (hopefully to inform any developer that it no longer works). Eventually the file should be removed completely, but for now just making it not do anything is the path forward to that. - Update the livepatch tests to handle ftrace_enabled being disabled Because in the past, livepatch was broken by ftrace_enabled being turned off, there's a test case that checks to make sure it still doesn't break. But having the write of '0' return an error caused that test to break. Updated the test to handle the new change. * tag 'ftrace-v7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: selftests/livepatch: update test-ftrace.sh for deprecated ftrace_enabled ftrace: deprecate disabling via ftrace_enabled sysctl

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull Real-time Verifier updates from Steven Rostedt: - Switch LTL and DOT parsers to Lark in code generation tool The rvgen code generation tool originally parsed DOT files and LTL specifications using custom string parsing and Ply, which is no longer maintained. The DOT parser was fragile and prone to failure on minor format variations. Both LTL and DOT parsers have been rewritten to use the Lark parsing library. - Simplify Hybrid Automata clock variables The clock variables in hybrid automata monitors now use a single representation of the elapsed time since the clock was reset, rather than converting between invariant and guard representations. This allows simpler code generation for the newly refactored parser. - Generate cleanup hook for per-obj monitor The code generation scripts now adds a cleanup function to per-obj monitors for the user to wire to the appropriate event (e.g. sched_process_exit for tasks). - Reduce read_lock scope during per-task cleanup Take the tasklist_lock only when necessary, that is when iterating over for_each_process_thread(). - Simplify task monitor slot management Only rely on the slot array for per-task slot management to avoid inconsistency with the unused counter. - Improve rvgen code robustness and templates Use pathlib in rvgen and improve kernel path discovery. Also improve consistency across templates when generating code (e.g. author placeholder and monitor struct name). - Update rtapp sleep monitor Simplify the sleep monitor by excluding kernel threads and updating the nanosleep check to focus only on CLOCK_REALTIME. Also switch to use the sched_exit tracepoint to run in the context of the offending (wakee) task. - Add wakeup monitor Add the new rtapp/wakeup monitor to detect when lower-priority tasks wake up higher-priority ones, complementing the existing sleep monitor by running in the waker context and capturing its stack trace. - Fix tools/rv exit status on failure Ensure the rv tool returns a failure exit code when a monitor fails to start because it was already running. - Add automated selftests for tools/rv and rvgen Introduced automated bash selftests to validate rv monitor listing and execution under different configurations. Added tests for the rvgen code generator, validating generated files against expected output (golden). Tests are reachable via make check. - Add KUnit test coverage for verification monitors Added comprehensive KUnit tests to validate the functionality of deterministic, hybrid, and LTL monitors by emulating event sequences and timing in a mock environment without affecting the running kernel while expecting mock reactions to fire. Ensure real RV monitors cannot run during KUnit tests to avoid state corruption. - Mock current in rv monitors Mock the call to current in rv monitors when the KUnit tests are built to allow them to run the test on dummy tasks. No overhead is expected when KUnit tests aren't running. - Introduce rvgen kunit subcommand Added a new 'kunit' subcommand to rvgen to automatically patch an already generated monitor with KUnit integration templates by parsing its event handlers and creating the required mock structures and initializations. - Refine kernel verification selftests Added new selftests for the deadline and stall monitors and rearranged the existing wwnr_printk test to resolve flakiness. Additionally, fixed an issue in the selftests framework where negative assertion failures were not correctly propagated due to shell rules. - Fix 32-bit build of nomiss KUnit test A previous commit introduced a division between an u64 and a constant value and that doesn't build on 32-bit systems. Use div_u64() instead. - Document changes in sleep monitor The sleep monitor introduced some changes in the past like allowing epoll_wait() as a valid sleep and a task going to runnable before scheduling as a valid wakeup. Document both. * tag 'trace-rv-v7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (40 commits) Documentation/rv: Explain epoll and aborted sleeps rv: Fix 32-bit build of nomiss KUnit test selftests/verification: Add selftests for deadline and stall monitors selftests/verification: Rearrange the wwnr_printk test selftests/verification: Fix wrong errexit assumption rv: Add KUnit tests for some LTL monitors rv: Add KUnit mock for current rv: Add KUnit tests for some DA/HA monitors rv: Export task monitor slot and react symbols verification/rvgen: Add selftests for rvgen kunit verification/rvgen: Add the rvgen kunit subcommand verification/rvgen: Add selftests verification/rvgen: Add golden and spec folders for tests tools/rv: Add selftests verification/rvgen: Improve consistency in template files verification/rvgen: Use pathlib instead of os.path verification/rvgen: Improve rv_dir discovery in RVGenerator tools/rv: Fix exit status when monitor execution fails rv: Use generic rv_this for the rv_monitor variable in LTL rv/rtapp: Add wakeup monitor ...
2026-08-19selftests/cgroup: set the test plan after the setup checksHemanth Selam
The cgroup tests announce their plan before checking whether cgroup v2 is available, so on a host without it they promise a number of results and then skip out after the first one: TAP version 13 1..3 ok 1 # SKIP cgroup v2 isn't mounted # Planned tests != run tests (3 != 1) # Totals: pass:0 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:1 error:0 ksft_exit_skip() can only emit a well formed "1..0 # SKIP" line while no plan has been printed, as the comment above it in kselftest.h points out. Move ksft_set_plan() below the setup checks that can skip, so that a skipped run reports: TAP version 13 1..0 # SKIP cgroup v2 isn't mounted Several of the tests skip more than once while setting up, for a missing or unwritable controller as well, so the plan goes after the last of them. test_core joins its two setup paths at the post_v2_setup label and sets the plan there. Reporting each planned test as skipped instead would keep the plan where it is, but the setup failures here mean the whole test cannot run rather than its individual cases being skipped, which is what "1..0 # SKIP" is for.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull timer and timekeeping core updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Fix a subtly inconsistency in the timekeeping code, which fails to account for the monotonicity adjustment in ntp_error. For small changes of the clocksource multiplicator (+/-1) which are typically used by the NTP PLL this is hard to observe. But for larger adjustments, e.g. caused by a direct frequency setting through adjtimex() the one-time uncompensated offset is significant. Cure this by adjusting ntp_error with the resulting offset so that the discrepancy is smoothed away over time - Make tick length calculations correct in NTP. The timekeeping core takes the quantisation of the clocksource into account when calculating the tick length to compensate for the deviation of the nominal NTP_INTERVAL_LENGTH. While timekeeping gets this right, NTP is not aware of that, which means it operates on the nominal value and not on the actual value which is determined by the clock source frequency. The rounding of a coarse clocksource like the ACPI PM timer results in a +127 PPM deviation. Cure this by exposing the deviation to the NTP code so that it can operate on the same data as the timekeeping core. This is purely kernel internal. User space still sees the nominal tick lenght via adjtimex(). - The accuracy of the NTP adjustments is fairly approximate as the code assumes that the invocations are precisely in NTP interval frequency ticks and the final adjustment can over and under-run. Cure this by adjusting ntp_error by the intended skew on each tick to achieve the desired rate. - Handle the two competing skews of time offset and time adjustment correctly by calculating the conflict portion between the skews and adjusting both accordingly. - A set of updates and improvements for the selftests - The usual small fixes and improvements all over the place * tag 'timers-core-2026-08-17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (58 commits) selftests: timers: nsleep-lat: Check all calls to clock_nanosleep() and clock_gettime() selftests: timers: nsleep-lat: Reuse kselftest error numbers selftests: timers: nsleep-lat: Explicitly list the tested clocks selftests: timers: nsleep-lat: Use NSEC_PER_MSEC define for unreasonable latency selftests: timers: nanosleep: Report each test separately selftests: timers: nanosleep: Explicitly handle timer_delete() failure selftests: timers: nanosleep: Move all single clock tests out of the loop in main() selftests: timers: nanosleep: Reuse kselftest error numbers selftests: timers: nanosleep: Explicitly list the tested clocks selftests: timers: nanosleep: Drop output alignment selftests: timers: Use clock_name() and constants from clock-helpers.h selftests: Add clock-helpers.h timer_list: Use ktime_t over nanoseconds timer_list: Use standard 'long long' format placeholders hrtimer: Add a lockdep assertion to hrtimer_update_base() timekeeping: Use u32 for clock_was_set_seq timekeeping: Rename clockid_aux_valid() to clockid_is_aux_clock() hrtimer: Account nr_retries on recovered interrupt retries timers/itimer: Zero-init old itimerval before copy to userspace nohz: Replace dead select with choice default ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull generic entry code updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Make syscall user dispatching configurable Not all architectures can makes use of syscall user dispatching. Allow them to disable the feature completely. - Consolidate stack randomization for the generic entry code and the architectures using it. Stack randomization on syscall entry was sprinkled throughout the architecture specific low level entry code and in some cases at the wrong points, e.g. before establishing state, which violates the non-instrumentable constraints of that code. Clean this up by integrating stack randomization into the generic entry code helpers so that it is invoked at the earliest possible point right after establishing state and converting all generic entry code using architecture over. - Clean up the syscall number handling in the generic entry code. It works correctly for architectures which have a separate return value storage in pt_regs, but fails to distinguish the case where user space handed in -1 as syscall number from the case where the entry code rejects it by returning -1 to the callers. Aside of that the return value functionality of those interfaces is not really intuitive. Fix this by separating the decision to reject a syscall (user dispatch, ptrace, seccomp ...) from the potential modification of the syscall number through these mechanisms. This solves most of the problems for architectures which do not have a separate return value storage in pt_regs except for the case where a tracepoint has a BPF script or a probe attached which overwrite both the syscall number and the return value. But that's a problem which cannot be solved in the generic code, that only can be addressed by separating the storage model in the affected architectures. * tag 'core-entry-2026-08-17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (23 commits) entry, treewide: Make syscall_enter_from_user_mode[_work]() indicate syscall execution entry: Make return type of syscall_trace_enter() bool entry: Rework trace_syscall_enter() entry: Rework syscall_audit_enter() syscall_user_dispatch: Introduce ARCH_SUPPORTS_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH entry: Fix seccomp bypass after ptrace with TSYNC x86/entry: Simplify the syscall number logic x86/entry: Get rid of the sys_ni_syscall() indirection x86/entry: Make syscall functions static ptrace, treewide: Rename ptrace_report_syscall_entry() to ptrace_report_syscall_permit_entry() seccomp, treewide: Rename and convert __secure_computing() to return boolean entry: Use syscall number instead of rereading it entry: Remove syscall_enter_from_user_mode() x86/syscall: Use [syscall_]enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() s390/syscall: Use enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() riscv/syscall: Use syscall_enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() powerpc/syscall: Use syscall_enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() loongarch/syscall: Use syscall_enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() entry: Provide [syscall_]enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() randomize_kstack: Provide add_random_kstack_offset_irqsoff() ...

2026-08-17selftests: mptcp: diag: fix stack buffer overflow in get_subflow_info()Jiangshan Yi
get_subflow_info() parses the subflow address string with: char saddr[64], daddr[64]; ret = sscanf(subflow_addrs, "%[^:]:%d %[^:]:%d", saddr, &sport, daddr, &dport); The subflow_addrs buffer holds up to 1024 bytes and is taken directly from the command line ("-c" argument). The "%[^:]" conversions have no maximum field width, so if the address substring before the ':' exceeds 63 bytes, sscanf() writes past the end of the 64-byte saddr/daddr stack buffers. This overflows the stack, corrupting adjacent stack data such as the saved return address, and can crash the tool or lead to out-of-bounds writes controlled by user-supplied input. Bound both string conversions to the destination buffer size by adding an explicit maximum field width of 63 (leaving room for the terminating NUL), so at most 63 bytes are written into each 64-byte buffer: ret = sscanf(subflow_addrs, "%63[^:]:%d %63[^:]:%d", saddr, &sport, daddr, &dport); The subflow address can be passed in argument, so fixing this is helpful when the tool is manually used.

Limit the size of each captured packet to 108B (IPv4 only) or 128B (a mix of v4 and v6): this should drop most of the payload that is generally not needed when debugging an issue. 8 bytes are left in this payload, to be able to inspect the beginning, just in case. Please also note that generally, this payload is usually mostly filled with 0, except at the end. This reduces the .pcap sizes, and reduce IO usage, which helps debugging issues.

2026-08-17selftests: mptcp: check per-event MPTCP_RST_EMPTCP countersShardul Bankar
Add named env-var expectations for each per-event MPTCP_RST_EMPTCP counter, matching the pattern used by the existing JOIN/RST checks. Each defaults to 0 and is checked silently on success; a mismatch prints a check line and fails the test. Counters absent from the running kernel are skipped silently so older kernels do not false-fail. The JOIN-related counters (MPJoinSynAckNoMPJoin, MPJoinAckNoMPJoin, MPJoinAckNoCtx, MPJoinNotEstablished, MPJoinNoIdFound) are checked in chk_join_nr() on fixed namespaces; the two remaining reset counters (MD5SigReset, DssReset) stay in chk_rst_nr(). Add a test at the end of signal_address_tests that triggers MPJoinSynAckNoMPJoin: ns1 signals an address that is already bound on the client (ns2), where a TCP-only mptcp_connect listener is started. The client's MP_JOIN routes locally to the TCP listener, which responds with a plain SYN/ACK without the MP_JOIN option, and the new counter increments on the client side. Other per-event counters (MD5SigReset, MPJoinAckNoMPJoin, MPJoinAckNoCtx, DssReset, MPJoinNotEstablished, MPJoinNoIdFound) are not currently reachable from mptcp_join.sh; the env-var hooks are in place for future tests to set expectations explicitly.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull vfs superblock updates from Christian Brauner: - Make it possible to share a block device between multiple filesystems. erofs can mount read-only blob devices shared between many superblocks, but because we only tracked a single superblock a freeze, thaw, removal or sync on such a device was never propagated to all the superblocks using it, and there was no way to find them. Add an efficient table to lookup all superblocks using a given block device. - A bunch of pre-existing fixes fell out of this work: A block-device freeze racing a btrfs device change could leave the whole filesystem stuck frozen.

The same overlay tree can then be exposed under a different ownership view. Overlayfs already normalizes every underlying id through the relevant layer idmap when ovl_copyattr() copies attributes into the overlay inode. So the overlay inode's i_uid and i_gid are overlay-final ids. The overlay mount idmap composes on top of that and is applied at the overlay-inode boundary only while the underlying layers keep being accessed with the mounter's credentials through their own (possibly idmapped) mounts. So this only changes how the caller sees the overlay inode and never widens the mounter's access to the layers. The second, mounter-credential check in ovl_permission() against the real inode stays on the layer idmap. Most paths need no change because the VFS applies the mount idmap to the overlay inode before overlayfs runs or after it returns at the syscall boundary.

The open-coded check for a count below zero as the dead marker relies on information the caller should not have. - make put_mnt_ns() leave mounts connected. Destroying a mount namespace disconnected its mounts from their mount points. So a file descriptor still open on the parent of a mount point could be used to peek under it. Locked mounts were already kept connected to prevent exactly that. But a mount is only locked when its tree is copied across a user namespace boundary. So a mount namespace set up by a privileged component had no locked mounts and its mounts were disconnected. Passing UMOUNT_CONNECTED keeps every mount connected and prevents that bug. - vfs_prepare_mode() passes S_IFDIR for directories. I meant to fix that ago but didn't get to it. So now someone finally did it. This kills the exception where the mode could be 0 when a directory was created whereas every other creation operation passed it explicitly already. - move long delayed work for ufs, jffs2, hfsplus, hfs and affs from the per-cpu system_long_wq to the new unbound system_dfl_long_wq. None of that work relies on per-cpu state and the work item is enqueued with queue_delayed_work() whose timer is global anyway. So it may as well benefit from scheduler task placement.

2026-08-17selftests: net: separate ipv6_flowlabel_mgr testMarcelo Mendes Spessoto Junior
The ipv6_flowlabel_mgr used to be a component of a broader overall flow label test, defined in the ipv6_flowlabel.sh file. This wrapper script called tests defined on ipv6_flowlabel.c and ipv6_flowlabel_mgr.c files, using predefined parameters and enforcing the in_netns.sh helper to set network namespaces for each test env. However, the ipv6_flowlabel_mgr.c was drastically changed recently. These modifications led to the mgr tests becoming a self contained and independent test suite, enforcing netns creation by itself and not relying on the ipv6_flowlabel.sh wrapper for proper test execution anymore. Therefore, remove the mgr tests from the wrapper and update the Makefile to handle it as a standalone test program instead.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull binfmt updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains a bunch of work for binfmt_misc. It fixes a bunch of old bugs, reworks the locking, and then extends the format registry so a binary type can be matched programmatically and its interpreter computed per exec instead of being a fixed string recorded at registration time. This allows nixos and other to e.g., implement relocatable binaries meaning the interpreter/dynamic loader can be determined programatically, say found relative to the binary. The mechanism is flexible and can support other policies: - Handler lookup is now an rcu walk. An exec that matches no binfmt_misc entry should now never write to a shared cacheline - remove the VERBOSE_STATUS and USE_DEBUG compile time toggles - convert the entry file to a seq_file which simplifies things quite a bit and kills a lot of custom logic - make flags proper enums - rename struct Node to binfmt_misc_entry - allow entries to be removed with unlink(2) - Add the ability to attach bpf programs to binfmt_misc entries so it's possible to dynamically choose the execution environment such as the loader or interpreter on a per binary basis. A handler is an instance of a binfmt_misc_ops struct_ops with a ->match() and a ->load() program. match() decides from the entry lookup walk whether the handler applies under the same registration-order. It can read file content as needed not only the prefetched 256 bytes in bprm->buf. load() then selects the interpreter and stages it through the new bpf_binprm_set_interp(), bpf_binprm_set_interp_arg() and bpf_binprm_set_flags() kfuncs. Handlers are published in a registry keyed by the registering task's user namespace and activated through the existing text interface with a new 'B' type carrying the handler name: echo ':origin:B::::nix:' > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register The permission and namespacing model is unchanged. Activating a handler requires the same write access to an instance as any other registration. A container mounting its own instance escapes the host's entries exactly as before. The computed interpreter is opened with open_exec() under the caller's credentials and goes through full LSM vetting as the next binprm level. A program can only ever redirect the caller to something the caller could exec anyway. - Two dispatch modes are added. So far the chosen interpreter owns the whole process identity (argv[0], /proc/pid/cmdline, /proc/self/exe all name interpreter information). So relocatable find the dynamic linker instead. Also a binary passed to execveat() as an inaccessible O_CLOEXEC fd cannot run at all and gdb trips because AT_ENTRY and AT_PHDR do not match the exe file. So PIE symbols are unrelocated. This adds transparent dispatch which allows the interpreter to load the binary through AT_EXECFD and leaves the argument vector exactly as the caller built it and labels mm->exe_file and comm with the binary. It also raises the AT_FLAGS_TRANSPARENT_INTERP aux vector bit. The interpreter keeps control of mapping the binary. The second mode is loader substitution. This allows a binary to be executed natively and only the interpreter to be changed. - Last, interpreters can be bound at registration time. Each interpreter is opened by its own write with the credentials the entry file was opened with. The program picks one per exec with bpf_binprm_select_interp().

2026-08-17selftests/bpf: Retry stat generation in cgroup_iter_memcgAndrii Nakryiko
Each cgroup_iter_memcg subtest touches 1024 pages and expects the matching memcg counter to be non-zero. On a host with many CPUs it reads zero instead: test_anon:FAIL:final anon mapped val: actual 0 <= expected 0 memcg stats are cached per-cpu and only become visible once the periodic flusher runs (FLUSH_TIME, 2s), or once pending updates cross MEMCG_CHARGE_BATCH * num_online_cpus(). That threshold is 512 pages at 8 CPUs but 8192 at 128, so a single pass no longer reaches it and bpf_mem_cgroup_flush_stats() returns without flushing anything. Retry the stat generation, sleeping in between, so that a flusher cycle is always covered. Sleep before dropping the mapping, so that a flusher cycle landing in the sleep observes the mapped state. nr_anon_mapped and nr_file_mapped are rmap gauges, and unmapping first would post a matching negative delta for the flusher to aggregate to a net zero. test_file asserts on both nr_file_pages and nr_file_mapped, which have different lifetimes, as page cache pages outlive the mapping.

tc_tunnel only partially validated decap state and missed some tunnel cases. In particular, IPXIP decap checks were not exercised for IPIP/SIT paths, and non-GSO decap encapsulation state was not verified. Tighten the test by: - setting DECAP_IPXIP4/6 flags for IPIP/SIT/IP6 decap paths based on the outer tunnel header family; - requiring needed DECAP enum values via CO-RE enum existence checks so missing kernel support fails fast; - validating post-decap tunnel state for both GSO and non-GSO packets: expected gso_type bits must be cleared and skb->encapsulation must match remaining tunnel flags; - removing forced TSO disable in the test harness so GSO validation is exercised.
