Pull vfs async directory updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains further preparatory changes for the asynchronous directory
locking scheme:
- Add lookup_one_positive_killable() which allows overlayfs to
perform lookup that won't block on a fatal signal
- Unify the mount idmap handling in struct renamedata as a rename can
only happen within a single mount
- Introduce kern_path_parent() for audit which sets the path to the
parent and returns a dentry for the target without holding any
locks on return
- Rename kern_path_locked() as it is only used to prepare for the
removal of an object from the filesystem:
kern_path_locked() => start_removing_path()
kern_path_create() => start_creating_path()
user_path_create() => start_creating_user_path()
user_path_locked_at() => start_removing_user_path_at()
done_path_create() => end_creating_path()
NA => end_removing_path()"
* tag 'vfs-6.18-rc1.async' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs:
debugfs: rename start_creating() to debugfs_start_creating()
VFS: rename kern_path_locked() and related functions.
VFS/audit: introduce kern_path_parent() for audit
VFS: unify old_mnt_idmap and new_mnt_idmap in renamedata

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.
Features:
- Add "initramfs_options" parameter to set initramfs mount options.
This allows to add specific mount options to the rootfs to e.g.,
limit the memory size
- Add RWF_NOSIGNAL flag for pwritev2()
Add RWF_NOSIGNAL flag for pwritev2. This flag prevents the SIGPIPE
signal from being raised when writing on disconnected pipes or
sockets. The flag is handled directly by the pipe filesystem and
converted to the existing MSG_NOSIGNAL flag for sockets
- Allow to pass pid namespace as procfs mount option
Ever since the introduction of pid namespaces, procfs has had very
implicit behaviour surrounding them (the pidns used by a procfs
mount is auto-selected based on the mounting process's active
pidns, and the pidns itself is basically hidden once the mount has
been constructed)
This implicit behaviour has historically meant that userspace was
required to do some special dances in order to configure the pidns
of a procfs mount as desired. Examples include:
* In order to bypass the mnt_too_revealing() check, Kubernetes
creates a procfs mount from an empty pidns so that user
namespaced containers can be nested (without this, the nested
containers would fail to mount procfs)
But this requires forking off a helper process because you cannot
just one-shot this using mount(2)
* Container runtimes in general need to fork into a container
before configuring its mounts, which can lead to security issues
in the case of shared-pidns containers (a privileged process in
the pidns can interact with your container runtime process)
While SUID_DUMP_DISABLE and user namespaces make this less of an
issue, the strict need for this due to a minor uAPI wart is kind
of unfortunate
Things would be much easier if there was a way for userspace to
just specify the pidns they want. So this pull request contains
changes to implement a new "pidns" argument which can be set
using fsconfig(2):
fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "pidns", NULL, nsfd);
fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "pidns", "/proc/self/ns/pid", 0);
or classic mount(2) / mount(8):
// mount -t proc -o pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid proc /tmp/proc
mount("proc", "/tmp/proc", "proc", MS_..., "pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid");

number
- Limit the size for copy_file_range() in compat mode to prevent a
signed overflow
- Fix debugfs mount options not being applied
- Verify the inode mode when loading it from disk in minixfs
- Verify the inode mode when loading it from disk in cramfs
- Don't trigger automounts with RESOLVE_NO_XDEV

through automounts, but could still trigger them
- Add FL_RECLAIM flag to show_fl_flags() macro so it appears in
tracepoints
- Fix unused variable warning in rd_load_image() on s390

Yinhao et al. recently reported:
Our fuzzer tool discovered an uninitialized pointer issue in the
bpf_prog_test_run_xdp() function within the Linux kernel's BPF subsystem.
This leads to a NULL pointer dereference when a BPF program attempts to
deference the txq member of struct xdp_buff object.
The test initializes two programs of BPF_PROG_TYPE_XDP: progA acts as the
entry point for bpf_prog_test_run_xdp() and its expected_attach_type can
neither be of be BPF_XDP_DEVMAP nor BPF_XDP_CPUMAP. progA calls into a slot
of a tailcall map it owns. progB's expected_attach_type must be BPF_XDP_DEVMAP
to pass xdp_is_valid_access() validation. The program returns struct xdp_md's
egress_ifindex, and the latter is only allowed to be accessed under mentioned
expected_attach_type. progB is then inserted into the tailcall which progA
calls.
The underlying issue goes beyond XDP though. Another example are programs
of type BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK_ADDR. sock_addr_is_valid_access() as well
as sock_addr_func_proto() have different logic depending on the programs'
expected_attach_type. Similarly, a program attached to BPF_CGROUP_INET4_GETPEERNAME
should not be allowed doing a tailcall into a program which calls bpf_bind()
out of BPF which is only enabled for BPF_CGROUP_INET4_CONNECT.
In short, specifying expected_attach_type allows to open up additional
functionality or restrictions beyond what the basic bpf_prog_type enables.
The use of tailcalls must not violate these constraints. Fix it by enforcing
expected_attach_type in __bpf_prog_map_compatible().
Note that we only enforce this for tailcall maps, but not for BPF devmaps or
cpumaps: There, the programs are invoked through dev_map_bpf_prog_run*() and
cpu_map_bpf_prog_run*() which set up a new environment / context and therefore
these situations are not prone to this issue.

The stacktrace map can be easily full, which will lead to failure in
obtaining the stack. In addition to increasing the size of the map,
another solution is to delete the stack_id after looking it up from
the user, so extend the existing bpf_map_lookup_and_delete_elem()
functionality to stacktrace map types.

For now, migrate_enable and migrate_disable are global, which makes them
become hotspots in some case. Take BPF for example, the function calling
to migrate_enable and migrate_disable in BPF trampoline can introduce
significant overhead, and following is the 'perf top' of FENTRY's
benchmark (./tools/testing/selftests/bpf/bench trig-fentry):
54.63% bpf_prog_2dcccf652aac1793_bench_trigger_fentry [k]
bpf_prog_2dcccf652aac1793_bench_trigger_fentry
10.43% [kernel] [k] migrate_enable
10.07% bpf_trampoline_6442517037 [k] bpf_trampoline_6442517037
8.06% [kernel] [k] __bpf_prog_exit_recur
4.11% libc.so.6 [.] syscall
2.15% [kernel] [k] entry_SYSCALL_64
1.48% [kernel] [k] memchr_inv
1.32% [kernel] [k] fput
1.16% [kernel] [k] _copy_to_user
0.73% [kernel] [k] bpf_prog_test_run_raw_tp
So in this commit, we make migrate_enable/migrate_disable inline to obtain
better performance. The struct rq is defined internally in
kernel/sched/sched.h, and the field "nr_pinned" is accessed in
migrate_enable/migrate_disable, which makes it hard to make them inline.
Alexei Starovoitov suggests to generate the offset of "nr_pinned" in [1],
so we can define the migrate_enable/migrate_disable in
include/linux/sched.h and access "this_rq()->nr_pinned" with
"(void *)this_rq() + RQ_nr_pinned".
The offset of "nr_pinned" is generated in include/generated/rq-offsets.h
by kernel/sched/rq-offsets.c.
Generally speaking, we move the definition of migrate_enable and
migrate_disable to include/linux/sched.h from kernel/sched/core.c. The
calling to __set_cpus_allowed_ptr() is leaved in ___migrate_enable().
The "struct rq" is not available in include/linux/sched.h, so we can't
access the "runqueues" with this_cpu_ptr(), as the compilation will fail
in this_cpu_ptr() -> raw_cpu_ptr() -> __verify_pcpu_ptr():
typeof((ptr) + 0)
So we introduce the this_rq_raw() and access the runqueues with
arch_raw_cpu_ptr/PERCPU_PTR directly.
The variable "runqueues" is not visible in the kernel modules, and export
it is not a good idea. As Peter Zijlstra advised in [2], we define and
export migrate_enable/migrate_disable in kernel/sched/core.c too, and use
them for the modules.

Currently, signed load instructions into arena memory are unsupported.
The compiler is free to generate these, and on GCC-14 we see a
corresponding error when it happens. The hurdle in supporting them is
deciding which unused opcode to use to mark them for the JIT's own
consumption. After much thinking, it appears 0xc0 / BPF_NOSPEC can be
combined with load instructions to identify signed arena loads. Use
this to recognize and JIT them appropriately, and remove the verifier
side limitation on the program if the JIT supports them.

Implementation of the new bpf_task_work_schedule kfuncs, that let a BPF
program schedule task_work callbacks for a target task:
* bpf_task_work_schedule_signal() - schedules with TWA_SIGNAL
* bpf_task_work_schedule_resume() - schedules with TWA_RESUME
Each map value should embed a struct bpf_task_work, which the kernel
side pairs with struct bpf_task_work_kern, containing a pointer to
struct bpf_task_work_ctx, that maintains metadata relevant for the
concrete callback scheduling.
A small state machine and refcounting scheme ensures safe reuse and
teardown. State transitions:
_______________________________
| |
v |
[standby] ---> [pending] --> [scheduling] --> [scheduled]
^ |________________|_________
| |
| v
| [running]
|_______________________________________________________|
All states may transition into FREED state:
[pending] [scheduling] [scheduled] [running] [standby] -> [freed]
A FREED terminal state coordinates with map-value
deletion (bpf_task_work_cancel_and_free()).
Scheduling itself is deferred via irq_work to keep the kfunc callable
from NMI context.
Lifetime is guarded with refcount_t + RCU Tasks Trace.
Main components:
* struct bpf_task_work_context – Metadata and state management per task
work.
* enum bpf_task_work_state – A state machine to serialize work
scheduling and execution.
* bpf_task_work_schedule() – The central helper that initiates
scheduling.
* bpf_task_work_acquire_ctx() - Attempts to take ownership of the context,
pointed by passed struct bpf_task_work, allocates new context if none
exists yet.
* bpf_task_work_callback() – Invoked when the actual task_work runs.
* bpf_task_work_irq() – An intermediate step (runs in softirq context)
to enqueue task work.
* bpf_task_work_cancel_and_free() – Cleanup for deleted BPF map entries.
Flow of successful task work scheduling
1) bpf_task_work_schedule_* is called from BPF code.
2) Transition state from STANDBY to PENDING, mark context as owned by
this task work scheduler
3) irq_work_queue() schedules bpf_task_work_irq().
4) Transition state from PENDING to SCHEDULING (noop if transition
successful)
5) bpf_task_work_irq() attempts task_work_add(). If successful, state
transitions to SCHEDULED.
6) Task work calls bpf_task_work_callback(), which transition state to
RUNNING.
7) BPF callback is executed
8) Context is cleaned up, refcounts released, context state set back to
STANDBY.

This patch adds necessary plumbing in verifier, syscall and maps to
support handling new kfunc bpf_task_work_schedule and kernel structure
bpf_task_work. The idea is similar to how we already handle bpf_wq and
bpf_timer.
verifier changes validate calls to bpf_task_work_schedule to make sure
it is safe and expected invariants hold.
btf part is required to detect bpf_task_work structure inside map value
and store its offset, which will be used in the next patch to calculate
key and value addresses.
arraymap and hashtab changes are needed to handle freeing of the
bpf_task_work: run code needed to deinitialize it, for example cancel
task_work callback if possible.
The use of bpf_task_work and proper implementation for kfuncs are
introduced in the next patch.

kern_path_locked() is now only used to prepare for removing an object
from the filesystem (and that is the only credible reason for wanting a
positive locked dentry). Thus it corresponds to kern_path_create() and
so should have a corresponding name.
Unfortunately the name "kern_path_create" is somewhat misleading as it
doesn't actually create anything. The recently added
simple_start_creating() provides a better pattern I believe. The
"start" can be matched with "end" to bracket the creating or removing.
So this patch changes names:
kern_path_locked -> start_removing_path
kern_path_create -> start_creating_path
user_path_create -> start_creating_user_path
user_path_locked_at -> start_removing_user_path_at
done_path_create -> end_creating_path
and also introduces end_removing_path() which is identical to
end_creating_path().
__start_removing_path (which was __kern_path_locked) is enhanced to
call mnt_want_write() for consistency with the start_creating_path().

This patch extends the BPF_PROG_LOAD command by adding three new fields
to `union bpf_attr` in the user-space API:
- signature: A pointer to the signature blob.
- signature_size: The size of the signature blob.
- keyring_id: The serial number of a loaded kernel keyring (e.g.,
the user or session keyring) containing the trusted public keys.
When a BPF program is loaded with a signature, the kernel:
1. Retrieves the trusted keyring using the provided `keyring_id`.
2. Verifies the supplied signature against the BPF program's
instruction buffer.
3. If the signature is valid and was generated by a key in the trusted
keyring, the program load proceeds.
4. If no signature is provided, the load proceeds as before, allowing
for backward compatibility. LSMs can chose to restrict unsigned
programs and implement a security policy.
5. If signature verification fails for any reason,
the program is not loaded.

Converting bpf_insn_successors() to use lookup table makes it ~1.5
times faster.
Also remove unnecessary conditionals:
- `idx + 1 < prog->len` is unnecessary because after check_cfg() all
jump targets are guaranteed to be within a program;
- `i == 0 || succ[0] != dst` is unnecessary because any client of
bpf_insn_successors() can handle duplicate edges:
- compute_live_registers()
- compute_scc()
Moving bpf_insn_successors() to liveness.c allows its inlining in
liveness.c:__update_stack_liveness().
Such inlining speeds up __update_stack_liveness() by ~40%.
bpf_insn_successors() is used in both verifier.c and liveness.c.
perf shows such move does not negatively impact users in verifier.c,
as these are executed only once before main varification pass.
Unlike __update_stack_liveness() which can be triggered multiple

Remove register chain based liveness tracking:
- struct bpf_reg_state->{parent,live} fields are no longer needed;
- REG_LIVE_WRITTEN marks are superseded by bpf_mark_stack_write()
calls;
- mark_reg_read() calls are superseded by bpf_mark_stack_read();
- log.c:print_liveness() is superseded by logging in liveness.c;
- propagate_liveness() is superseded by bpf_update_live_stack();
- no need to establish register chains in is_state_visited() anymore;
- fix a bunch of tests expecting "_w" suffixes in verifier log
messages.

Unlike the new algorithm, register chain based liveness tracking is
fully path sensitive, and thus should be strictly more accurate.
Validate the new algorithm by signaling an error whenever it considers
a stack slot dead while the old algorithm considers it alive.

Allocate analysis instance:
- Add bpf_stack_liveness_{init,free}() calls to bpf_check().
Notify the instance about any stack reads and writes:
- Add bpf_mark_stack_write() call at every location where
REG_LIVE_WRITTEN is recorded for a stack slot.
- Add bpf_mark_stack_read() call at every location mark_reg_read() is
called.
- Both bpf_mark_stack_{read,write}() rely on
env->liveness->cur_instance callchain being in sync with
env->cur_state. It is possible to update env->liveness->cur_instance
every time a mark read/write is called, but that costs a hash table
lookup and is noticeable in the performance profile. Hence, manually
reset env->liveness->cur_instance whenever the verifier changes
env->cur_state call stack:
- call bpf_reset_live_stack_callchain() when the verifier enters a
subprogram;
- call bpf_update_live_stack() when the verifier exits a subprogram
(it implies the reset).
Make sure bpf_update_live_stack() is called for a callchain before
issuing liveness queries. And make sure that bpf_update_live_stack()
is called for any callee callchain first:
- Add bpf_update_live_stack() call at every location that processes
BPF_EXIT:
- exit from a subprogram;
- before pop_stack() call.
This makes sure that bpf_update_live_stack() is called for callee
callchains before caller callchains.
Make sure must_write marks are set to zero for instructions that
do not always access the stack:
- Wrap do_check_insn() with bpf_reset_stack_write_marks() /
bpf_commit_stack_write_marks() calls.
Any calls to bpf_mark_stack_write() are accumulated between this
pair of calls. If no bpf_mark_stack_write() calls were made
it means that the instruction does not access stack (at-least
on the current verification path) and it is important to record
this fact.
Finally, use bpf_live_stack_query_init() / bpf_stack_slot_alive()
to query stack liveness info.
The manual tracking of the correct order for callee/caller
bpf_update_live_stack() calls is a bit convoluted and may warrant some
automation in future revisions.

This commit adds a flow-sensitive, context-sensitive, path-insensitive
data flow analysis for live stack slots:
- flow-sensitive: uses program control flow graph to compute data flow
values;
- context-sensitive: collects data flow values for each possible call
chain in a program;
- path-insensitive: does not distinguish between separate control flow
graph paths reaching the same instruction.
Compared to the current path-sensitive analysis, this approach trades
some precision for not having to enumerate every path in the program.
This gives a theoretical capability to run the analysis before main
verification pass. See cover letter for motivation.
The basic idea is as follows:
- Data flow values indicate stack slots that might be read and stack
slots that are definitely written.
- Data flow values are collected for each
(call chain, instruction number) combination in the program.
- Within a subprogram, data flow values are propagated using control
flow graph.
- Data flow values are transferred from entry instructions of callee
subprograms to call sites in caller subprograms.
In other words, a tree of all possible call chains is constructed.
Each node of this tree represents a subprogram. Read and write marks
are collected for each instruction of each node. Live stack slots are
first computed for lower level nodes. Then, information about outer
stack slots that might be read or are definitely written by a
subprogram is propagated one level up, to the corresponding call
instructions of the upper nodes. Procedure repeats until root node is
processed.
In the absence of value range analysis, stack read/write marks are
collected during main verification pass, and data flow computation is
triggered each time verifier.c:states_equal() needs to query the
information.
Implementation details are documented in kernel/bpf/liveness.c.
Quantitative data about verification performance changes and memory
consumption is in the cover letter.

The next patch would require doing postorder traversal of individual
subprograms. Facilitate this by moving env->cfg.insn_postorder
computation from check_cfg() to a separate pass, as check_cfg()
descends into called subprograms (and it needs to, because of
merge_callee_effects() logic).
env->cfg.insn_postorder is used only by compute_live_registers(),
this function does not track cross subprogram dependencies,
thus the change does not affect it's operation.

Currently only array maps are supported, but the implementation can be
extended for other maps and objects. The hash is memoized only for
exclusive and frozen maps as their content is stable until the exclusive
program modifies the map.
This is required for BPF signing, enabling a trusted loader program to
verify a map's integrity. The loader retrieves
the map's runtime hash from the kernel and compares it against an
expected hash computed at build time.

Exclusive maps restrict map access to specific programs using a hash.
The current hash used for this is SHA1, which is prone to collisions.
This patch uses SHA256, which is more resilient against
collisions. This new hash is stored in bpf_prog and used by the verifier
to determine if a program can access a given exclusive map.
The original 64-bit tags are kept, as they are used by users as a short,
possibly colliding program identifier for non-security purposes.

Currently, KF_RCU_PROTECTED only applies to iterator APIs and that too
in a convoluted fashion: the presence of this flag on the kfunc is used
to set MEM_RCU in iterator type, and the lack of RCU protection results
in an error only later, once next() or destroy() methods are invoked on
the iterator. While there is no bug, this is certainly a bit
unintuitive, and makes the enforcement of the flag iterator specific.
In the interest of making this flag useful for other upcoming kfuncs,
e.g. scx_bpf_cpu_curr() [0][1], add enforcement for invoking the kfunc
in an RCU critical section in general.
This would also mean that iterator APIs using KF_RCU_PROTECTED will
error out earlier, instead of throwing an error for lack of RCU CS
protection when next() or destroy() methods are invoked.
In addition to this, if the kfuncs tagged KF_RCU_PROTECTED return a
pointer value, ensure that this pointer value is only usable in an RCU
critical section. There might be edge cases where the return value is
special and doesn't need to imply MEM_RCU semantics, but in general, the
assumption should hold for the majority of kfuncs, and we can revisit
things if necessary later.

Syzbot generated a program that triggers a verifier_bug() call in
maybe_exit_scc(). maybe_exit_scc() assumes that, when called for a
state with insn_idx in some SCC, there should be an instance of struct
bpf_scc_visit allocated for that SCC. Turns out the assumption does
not hold for speculative execution paths. See example in the next
patch.
maybe_scc_exit() is called from update_branch_counts() for states that
reach branch count of zero, meaning that path exploration for a
particular path is finished. Path exploration can finish in one of
three ways:
a. Verification error is found. In this case, update_branch_counts()
is called only for non-speculative paths.
b. Top level BPF_EXIT is reached. Such instructions are never a part of
an SCC, so compute_scc_callchain() in maybe_scc_exit() will return
false, and maybe_scc_exit() will return early.
c. A checkpoint is reached and matched. Checkpoints are created by
is_state_visited(), which calls maybe_enter_scc(), which allocates
bpf_scc_visit instances for checkpoints within SCCs.
Hence, for non-speculative symbolic execution paths, the assumption
still holds: if maybe_scc_exit() is called for a state within an SCC,
bpf_scc_visit instance must exist.
This patch removes the verifier_bug() call for speculative paths.

Function bpf_patch_insn_data() has the following structure:
static struct bpf_prog *bpf_patch_insn_data(... env ...)
{
struct bpf_prog *new_prog;
struct bpf_insn_aux_data *new_data = NULL;
if (len > 1) {
new_data = vrealloc(...); // <--------- (1)
if (!new_data)
return NULL;
env->insn_aux_data = new_data; // <---- (2)
}
new_prog = bpf_patch_insn_single(env->prog, off, patch, len);
if (IS_ERR(new_prog)) {
...
vfree(new_data); // <----------------- (3)
return NULL;
}
... happy path ...
}
In case if bpf_patch_insn_single() returns an error the `new_data`
allocated at (1) will be freed at (3). However, at (2) this pointer
is stored in `env->insn_aux_data`. Which is freed unconditionally
by verifier.c:bpf_check() on both happy and error paths.
Thus, leading to double-free.
Fix this by removing vfree() call at (3), ownership over `new_data` is
already passed to `env->insn_aux_data` at this point.

The bpf_cgroup_from_id kfunc relies on cgroup_get_from_id to obtain the
cgroup corresponding to a given cgroup ID. This helper can be called in
a lot of contexts where the current thread can be random. A recent
example was its use in sched_ext's ops.tick(), to obtain the root cgroup
pointer. Since the current task can be whatever random user space task
preempted by the timer tick, this makes the behavior of the helper
unreliable.
Refactor out __cgroup_get_from_id as the non-namespace aware version of
cgroup_get_from_id, and change bpf_cgroup_from_id to make use of it.
There is no compatibility breakage here, since changing the namespace
against which the lookup is being done to the root cgroup namespace only
permits a wider set of lookups to succeed now. The cgroup IDs across
namespaces are globally unique, and thus don't need to be retranslated.

The above was reproduced on bpf-next (b338cf849ec8) by modifying
./tools/sched_ext/scx_flatcg.bpf.c to call bpf_timer_init() during
ops.runnable(), and hacking the memcg accounting code a bit to make
a bpf_timer_init() call more likely to raise an MEMCG_MAX event.
We have also run into other similar variants (both internally and on
bpf-next), including double-acquiring cgroup_file_kn_lock, the same
worker_pool::lock, etc.
As suggested by Shakeel, fix this by using __GFP_HIGH instead of
GFP_ATOMIC in __bpf_async_init(), so that e.g. if try_charge_memcg()
raises an MEMCG_MAX event, we call __memcg_memory_event() with
@allow_spinning=false and avoid calling cgroup_file_notify() there.

Currently, out of all 3 types of waiters in the rqspinlock slow path
(i.e., pending bit waiter, wait queue head waiter, and wait queue
non-head waiter), only the pending bit waiter and wait queue head
waiters apply deadlock checks and a timeout on their waiting loop. The
assumption here was that the wait queue head's forward progress would be
sufficient to identify cases where the lock owner or pending bit waiter
is stuck, and non-head waiters relying on the head waiter would prove to
be sufficient for their own forward progress.
However, the head waiter itself can be preempted by a non-head waiter
for the same lock (AA) or a different lock (ABBA) in a manner that
impedes its forward progress. In such a case, non-head waiters not
performing deadlock and timeout checks becomes insufficient, and the
system can enter a state of lockup.
This is typically not a concern with non-NMI lock acquisitions, as lock
holders which in run in different contexts (IRQ, non-IRQ) use "irqsave"
variants of the lock APIs, which naturally excludes such lock holders
from preempting one another on the same CPU.
It might seem likely that a similar case may occur for rqspinlock when
programs are attached to contention tracepoints (begin, end), however,
these tracepoints either precede the enqueue into the wait queue, or
succeed it, therefore cannot be used to preempt a head waiter's waiting
loop.
We must still be careful against nested kprobe and fentry programs that
may attach to the middle of the head's waiting loop to stall forward
progress and invoke another rqspinlock acquisition that proceeds as a
non-head waiter. To this end, drop CC_FLAGS_FTRACE from the rqspinlock.o
object file.
For now, this issue is resolved by falling back to a repeated trylock on
the lock word from NMI context, while performing the deadlock checks to
break out early in case forward progress is impossible, and use the
timeout as a final fallback.
A more involved fix to terminate the queue when such a condition occurs
will be made as a follow up. A selftest to stress this aspect of nested
NMI/non-NMI locking attempts will be added in a subsequent patch to the
bpf-next tree when this fix lands and trees are synchronized.

bpf_strnstr() should not treat the ending '\0' of s2 as a matching character
if the parameter 'len' equal to s2 string length, for example:
1. bpf_strnstr("openat", "open", 4) = -ENOENT
2. bpf_strnstr("openat", "open", 5) = 0
This patch makes (1) return 0, fix just the `len == strlen(s2)` case.
And fix a more general case when s2 is a suffix of the first len
characters of s1.

Stanislav reported that in bpf_crypto_crypt() the destination dynptr's
size is not validated to be at least as large as the source dynptr's
size before calling into the crypto backend with 'len = src_len'. This
can result in an OOB write when the destination is smaller than the
source.
Concretely, in mentioned function, psrc and pdst are both linear
buffers fetched from each dynptr:
psrc = __bpf_dynptr_data(src, src_len);
[...]
pdst = __bpf_dynptr_data_rw(dst, dst_len);
[...]
err = decrypt ?
ctx->type->decrypt(ctx->tfm, psrc, pdst, src_len, piv) :
ctx->type->encrypt(ctx->tfm, psrc, pdst, src_len, piv);
The crypto backend expects pdst to be large enough with a src_len length
that can be written. Add an additional src_len > dst_len check and bail
out if it's the case. Note that these kfuncs are accessible under root
privileges only.

Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.
alloc_workqueue() treats all queues as per-CPU by default, while unbound
workqueues must opt-in via WQ_UNBOUND.
This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues,
allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and
reducing noise when CPUs are isolated.
This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues,
allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and
reducing noise when CPUs are isolated.
This patch adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag to explicitly request the use of
the per-CPU behavior. Both flags coexist for one release cycle to allow
callers to transition their calls.
Once migration is complete, WQ_UNBOUND can be removed and unbound will
become the implicit default.
With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND),
any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND
must now use WQ_PERCPU.
All existing users have been updated accordingly.

This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.
system_unbound_wq should be the default workqueue so as not to enforce
locality constraints for random work whenever it's not required.
Adding system_dfl_wq to encourage its use when unbound work should be used.
queue_work() / queue_delayed_work() / mod_delayed_work() will now use the
new unbound wq: whether the user still use the old wq a warn will be
printed along with a wq redirect to the new one.
The old system_unbound_wq will be kept for a few release cycles.

system_wq is a per-CPU worqueue, yet nothing in its name tells about that
CPU affinity constraint, which is very often not required by users. Make
it clear by adding a system_percpu_wq.
queue_work() / queue_delayed_work() mod_delayed_work() will now use the
new per-cpu wq: whether the user still stick on the old name a warn will
be printed along a wq redirect to the new one.
This patch add the new system_percpu_wq except for mm, fs and net
subsystem, whom are handled in separated patches.
The old wq will be kept for a few release cylces.
