2026-02-03libperf build: Always place libperf includes firstIan Rogers-1/+1
When building tools/perf the CFLAGS can contain a directory for the installed headers. As the headers may be being installed while building libperf.a this can cause headers to be partially installed and found in the include path while building an object file for libperf.a. The installed header may reference other installed headers that are missing given the partial nature of the install and then the build fails with a missing header file. Avoid this by ensuring the libperf source headers are always first in the CFLAGS.

2026-01-23Merge branch 'mauro' into docs-mwJonathan Corbet-255/+394
Mauro's work to include documentation from our Python modules. His cover letter follows: This is an extended version of: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/cover.1768488832.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org/ It basically adds everything we currently have inside libs/tool/python to "tools" book inside documentation. This version should be independent of the other series yet to be merged, (including the jobserver one). The vast amount of changes here are docstring cleanups and additions. They mainly consists on: - ensuring that every phrase will end with a period, making it uniform along all files; - cleaning ups to better uniform docstrings; - variable descriptions now use "#:" markup, as it allows autodoc to add them inside the documentation; - added some missing docstrings; - some new blank lines at comments to make ReST syntax parser happy; - add a couple of sphinx markups (mainly, code blocks). Most of those are minor changes, affecting only comments. It also has one patch per libarary type, adding them to docs. For kernel-doc, I did the cleanups first, as there is one code block inside tools/lib/python/kdoc/latex_fonts.py that would cause a Sphinx crash without such markups. The series actually starts with 3 fixes: - avoid "*" markups on indexes with deep> 3 to override text - a variable rename to stop abusing doctree name - don't rely on cwd to get Documentation/ location patch 4 adds support to document scripts either at: - tools/ - scripts/ patch 5 contains a CSS to better display autodoc html output. For those who want to play with documentation, documenting a python file is very simple. All it takes is to use: .. automodule:: lib.python.<dir+name> Usually, we add a couple of control members to it to adjust the desired documentation scope (add/remove members, showing class inheritance, showing members that currently don't have docstrings, etc). That's why we're using: .. automodule:: lib.python.kdoc.enrich_formatter :members: :show-inheritance: :undoc-members: (and similar) inside tools/kdoc*.rst. autodoc allows filtering in/out members, file docstrings, etc. It also allows documenting just some members or functions with directives like: ..autofunction: ..automember: Sphinx also has a helper script to generate .rst files with documentation: $ sphinx-apidoc -o foobar tools/lib/python/ which can be helpful to discover what should be documented, although changes are needed to use what it produces.

2026-01-20docs: kdoc: fix logic to handle unissued warningsMauro Carvalho Chehab-7/+28
Changeset 469c1c9eb6c9 ("kernel-doc: Issue warnings that were silently discarded") didn't properly addressed the missing messages behavior, as it was calling directly python logger low-level function, instead of using the expected method to emit warnings. Basically, there are two methods to log messages: - self.config.log.warning() - This is the raw level to emit a warning. It just writes the a message at stderr, via python logging, as it is initialized as: self.config.log = logging.getLogger("kernel-doc") - self.config.warning() - This is where we actually consider a message as a warning, properly incrementing error count. Due to that, several parsing error messages are internally considered as success, causing -Werror to not work on such messages. While here, ensure that the last ignored entry will also be handled by adding an extra check at the end of the parse handler.

2026-01-20tools: lib: thermal: Correct CFLAGS and LDFLAGS in pkg-config templateRomain Gantois-2/+2
There are two issues with the current pkg-config template. Firstly, the -lthermal linker flag is missing. Secondly, the libnl3 include directory compiler flag references "include" instead of "includedir", which leads to an unexpanded variable when pkg-config is called. Add the missing -lthermal flag and correct the libnl3 include directory.

2026-01-13libsubcmd: Fix null intersection case in exclude_cmds()Sri Jayaramappa-4/+6
When there is no exclusion occurring from the cmds list - for example - cmds contains ["read-vdso32"] and excludes contains ["archive"] - the main loop completes with ci == cj == 0. In the original code the loop processing the remaining elements in the list was conditional: if (ci != cj) { ...} So we end up in the assertion loop since ci < cmds->cnt and we incorrectly try to assert the list elements to be NULL and fail with the following error help.c:104: exclude_cmds: Assertion `cmds->names[ci] == NULL' failed. Fix this by moving the if (ci != cj) check inside of a broader loop. If ci != cj, left shift the list elements, as before, and then unconditionally advance the ci and cj indicies which also covers the ci == cj case.

2026-01-12tools: jobserver: Prevent deadlock caused by incorrect jobserver ↵Changbin Du-1/+6
configuration and enhance error reporting When using GNU Make's jobserver feature in kernel builds, a bug in MAKEFLAGS propagation caused "--jobserver-auth=r,w" to reference an unintended file descriptor. This led to infinite loops in jobserver-exec's os.read() calls due to empty token. My shell opened /etc/passwd for some reason without closing it, and as a result, all child processes inherited this fd 3. $ ls -l /proc/self/fd total 0 lrwx------ 1 changbin changbin 64 Dec 25 13:03 0 -> /dev/pts/1 lrwx------ 1 changbin changbin 64 Dec 25 13:03 1 -> /dev/pts/1 lrwx------ 1 changbin changbin 64 Dec 25 13:03 2 -> /dev/pts/1 lr-x------ 1 changbin changbin 64 Dec 25 13:03 3 -> /etc/passwd lr-x------ 1 changbin changbin 64 Dec 25 13:03 4 -> /proc/1421383/fd In this case, the `make` should open a new file descriptor for jobserver control, but clearly, it did not do so and instead still passed fd 3 as "--jobserver-auth=3,4" in MAKEFLAGS. (The version of my gnu make is 4.3) This update ensures robustness against invalid jobserver configurations, even when `make` incorrectly pass non-pipe file descriptors. * Rejecting empty reads to prevent infinite loops on EOF. * Clearing `self.jobs` to avoid writing to incorrect files if invalid tokens are detected. * Printing detailed error messages to stderr to inform the user.

2026-01-09libbpf: Fix OOB read in btf_dump_get_bitfield_valueVarun R Mallya-0/+9
When dumping bitfield data, btf_dump_get_bitfield_value() reads data based on the underlying type's size (t->size). However, it does not verify that the provided data buffer (data_sz) is large enough to contain these bytes. If btf_dump__dump_type_data() is called with a buffer smaller than the type's size, this leads to an out-of-bounds read. This was confirmed by AddressSanitizer in the linked issue. Fix this by ensuring we do not read past the provided data_sz limit.

Add libbpf support for the BPF_F_CPU flag for percpu maps by embedding the cpu info into the high 32 bits of: 1. **flags**: bpf_map_lookup_elem_flags(), bpf_map__lookup_elem(), bpf_map_update_elem() and bpf_map__update_elem() 2. **opts->elem_flags**: bpf_map_lookup_batch() and bpf_map_update_batch() And the flag can be BPF_F_ALL_CPUS, but cannot be 'BPF_F_CPU | BPF_F_ALL_CPUS'. Behavior: * If the flag is BPF_F_ALL_CPUS, the update is applied across all CPUs. * If the flag is BPF_F_CPU, it updates value only to the specified CPU. * If the flag is BPF_F_CPU, lookup value only from the specified CPU. * lookup does not support BPF_F_ALL_CPUS.

2025-12-16libbpf: Move arena globals to the end of the arenaEmil Tsalapatis-4/+13
Arena globals are currently placed at the beginning of the arena by libbpf. This is convenient, but prevents users from reserving guard pages in the beginning of the arena to identify NULL pointer dereferences. Adjust the load logic to place the globals at the end of the arena instead. Also modify bpftool to set the arena pointer in the program's BPF skeleton to point to the globals. Users now call bpf_map__initial_value() to find the beginning of the arena mapping and use the arena pointer in the skeleton to determine which part of the mapping holds the arena globals and which part is free.
