sched: idle: Make skipping governor callbacks more consistent

2026-03-10T15:03:02Z

If the cpuidle governor .select() callback is skipped because there is only one idle state in the cpuidle driver, the .reflect() callback should be skipped as well, at least for consistency (if not for correctness), so do it.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Fix possible NULL pointer dereference in trace_data_alloc() On the trace_data_alloc() error path, it can call trigger_data_free() with a NULL pointer. This used to be a kfree() but was changed to trigger_data_free() to clean up any partial initialization. The issue is that trigger_data_free() does not expect a NULL pointer. Have trigger_data_free() return safely on NULL pointer. - Fix multiple events on the command line and bootconfig If multiple events are enabled on the command line separately and not grouped, only the last event gets enabled. That is: trace_event=sched_switch trace_event=sched_waking will only enable sched_waking whereas: trace_event=sched_switch,sched_waking will enable both. The bootconfig makes it even worse as the second way is the more common method. The issue is that a temporary buffer is used to store the events to enable later in boot. Each time the cmdline callback is called, it overwrites what was previously there. Have the callback append the next value (delimited by a comma) if the temporary buffer already has content. - Fix command line trace_buffer_size if >= 2G The logic to allocate the trace buffer uses "int" for the size parameter in the command line code causing overflow issues if more that 2G is specified. * tag 'trace-v7.0-rc2-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: tracing: Fix trace_buf_size= cmdline parameter with sizes >= 2G tracing: Fix enabling multiple events on the kernel command line and bootconfig tracing: Add NULL pointer check to trigger_data_free()

bpf: collect only live registers in linked regs

2026-03-07T05:49:40Z

Fix an inconsistency between func_states_equal() and collect_linked_regs(): - regsafe() uses check_ids() to verify that cached and current states have identical register id mapping. - func_states_equal() calls regsafe() only for registers computed as live by compute_live_registers(). - clean_live_states() is supposed to remove dead registers from cached states, but it can skip states belonging to an iterator-based loop. - collect_linked_regs() collects all registers sharing the same id, ignoring the marks computed by compute_live_registers(). Linked registers are stored in the state's jump history. - backtrack_insn() marks all linked registers for an instruction as precise whenever one of the linked registers is precise. The above might lead to a scenario: - There is an instruction I with register rY known to be dead at I. - Instruction I is reached via two paths: first A, then B. - On path A: - There is an id link between registers rX and rY. - Checkpoint C is created at I. - Linked register set {rX, rY} is saved to the jump history. - rX is marked as precise at I, causing both rX and rY to be marked precise at C. - On path B: - There is no id link between registers rX and rY, otherwise register states are sub-states of those in C. - Because rY is dead at I, check_ids() returns true. - Current state is considered equal to checkpoint C, propagate_precision() propagates spurious precision mark for register rY along the path B. - Depending on a program, this might hit verifier_bug() in the backtrack_insn(), e.g. if rY ∈ [r1..r5] and backtrack_insn() spots a function call. The reproducer program is in the next patch. This was hit by sched_ext scx_lavd scheduler code. Changes in tests: - verifier_scalar_ids.c selftests need modification to preserve some registers as live for __msg() checks. - exceptions_assert.c adjusted to match changes in the verifier log, R0 is dead after conditional instruction and thus does not get range. - precise.c adjusted to match changes in the verifier log, register r9 is dead after comparison and it's range is not important for test.

tracing: Fix trace_buf_size= cmdline parameter with sizes >= 2G

2026-03-07T03:25:53Z

Some of the sizing logic through tracer_alloc_buffers() uses int internally, causing unexpected behavior if the user passes a value that does not fit in an int (on my x86 machine, the result is uselessly tiny buffers). Fix by plumbing the parameter's real type (unsigned long) through to the ring buffer allocation functions, which already use unsigned long. It has always been possible to create larger ring buffers via the sysfs interface: this only affects the cmdline parameter.

bpf: Fix u32/s32 bounds when ranges cross min/max boundary

2026-03-07T02:16:06Z

Same as in __reg64_deduce_bounds(), refine s32/u32 ranges in __reg32_deduce_bounds() in the following situations: - s32 range crosses U32_MAX/0 boundary, positive part of the s32 range overlaps with u32 range: 0 U32_MAX | [xxxxxxxxxxxxxx u32 range xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] | |----------------------------|----------------------------| |xxxxx s32 range xxxxxxxxx] [xxxxxxx| 0 S32_MAX S32_MIN -1 - s32 range crosses U32_MAX/0 boundary, negative part of the s32 range overlaps with u32 range: 0 U32_MAX | [xxxxxxxxxxxxxx u32 range xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] | |----------------------------|----------------------------| |xxxxxxxxx] [xxxxxxxxxxxx s32 range | 0 S32_MAX S32_MIN -1 - No refinement if ranges overlap in two intervals. This helps for e.g. consider the following program: call %[bpf_get_prandom_u32]; w0 &= 0xffffffff; if w0 < 0x3 goto 1f; // on fall-through u32 range [3..U32_MAX] if w0 s> 0x1 goto 1f; // on fall-through s32 range [S32_MIN..1] if w0 s< 0x0 goto 1f; // range can be narrowed to [S32_MIN..-1] r10 = 0; 1: ...; The reg_bounds.c selftest is updated to incorporate identical logic, refinement based on non-overflowing range halves: ((x ∩ [0, smax]) ∩ (y ∩ [0, smax])) ∪ ((x ∩ [smin,-1]) ∩ (y ∩ [smin,-1])) Reported-by: Andrea Righi Reported-by: Emil Tsalapatis Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/aakqucg4vcujVwif@gpd4/T/ Reviewed-by: Emil Tsalapatis Acked-by: Shung-Hsi Yu Signed-off-by: Eduard Zingerman Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260306-bpf-32-bit-range-overflow-v3-1-f7f67e060a6b@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov

tracing: Fix enabling multiple events on the kernel command line and bootconfig

2026-03-06T21:54:34Z

Multiple events can be enabled on the kernel command line via a comma separator. But if the are specified one at a time, then only the last event is enabled. This is because the event names are saved in a temporary buffer, and each call by the init cmdline code will reset that buffer. This also affects names in the boot config file, as it may call the callback multiple times with an example of: kernel.trace_event = ":mod:rproc_qcom_common", ":mod:qrtr", ":mod:qcom_aoss" Change the cmdline callback function to append a comma and the next value if the temporary buffer already has content.

tracing: Add NULL pointer check to trigger_data_free()

2026-03-06T18:04:30Z

If trigger_data_alloc() fails and returns NULL, event_hist_trigger_parse() jumps to the out_free error path. While kfree() safely handles a NULL pointer, trigger_data_free() does not. This causes a NULL pointer dereference in trigger_data_free() when evaluating data->cmd_ops->set_filter. Fix the problem by adding a NULL pointer check to trigger_data_free(). The problem was found by an experimental code review agent based on gemini-3.1-pro while reviewing backports into v6.18.y.
