uaccess: unify inline vs outline copy_{from,to}_user() selection

2026-05-29T04:24:44+00:00

The kernel allows arches to select between inline and outline implementations of the copy_{from,to}_user() by defining individual INLINE_COPY_FROM_USER and INLINE_COPY_TO_USER, correspondingly. However, all arches enable or disable them always together. Without the real use-case for one helper being inlined while the other outlined, having independent controls is excessive and error prone. Switch the codebase to the single unified INLINE_COPY_USER control.

ring-buffer: Flush and stop persistent ring buffer on panic

2026-05-21T12:20:58+00:00

On real hardware, panic and machine reboot may not flush hardware cache to memory. This means the persistent ring buffer, which relies on a coherent state of memory, may not have its events written to the buffer and they may be lost. Moreover, there may be inconsistency with the counters which are used for validation of the integrity of the persistent ring buffer which may cause all data to be discarded. To avoid this issue, stop recording of the ring buffer on panic and flush the cache of the ring buffer's memory.

bpf: Pass bpf_verifier_env to JIT

2026-04-16T14:03:40+00:00

Pass bpf_verifier_env to bpf_int_jit_compile(). The follow-up patch will use env->insn_aux_data in the JIT stage to detect indirect jump targets. Since bpf_prog_select_runtime() can be called by cbpf and lib/test_bpf.c code without verifier, introduce helper __bpf_prog_select_runtime() to accept the env parameter. Remove the call to bpf_prog_select_runtime() in bpf_prog_load(), and switch to call __bpf_prog_select_runtime() in the verifier, with env variable passed. The original bpf_prog_select_runtime() is preserved for cbpf and lib/test_bpf.c, where env is NULL. Now all constants blinding calls are moved into the verifier, except the cbpf and lib/test_bpf.c cases. The instructions arrays are adjusted by bpf_patch_insn_data() function for normal cases, so there is no need to call adjust_insn_arrays() in bpf_jit_blind_constants(). Remove it.

bpf: Move constants blinding out of arch-specific JITs

2026-04-16T14:03:40+00:00

During the JIT stage, constants blinding rewrites instructions but only rewrites the private instruction copy of the JITed subprog, leaving the global env->prog->insnsi and env->insn_aux_data untouched. This causes a mismatch between subprog instructions and the global state, making it difficult to use the global data in the JIT. To avoid this mismatch, and given that all arch-specific JITs already support constants blinding, move it to the generic verifier code, and switch to rewrite the global env->prog->insnsi with the global states adjusted, as other rewrites in the verifier do. This removes the constants blinding calls in each JIT, which are largely duplicated code across architectures. Since constants blinding is only required for JIT, and there are two JIT entry functions, jit_subprogs() for BPF programs with multiple subprogs and bpf_prog_select_runtime() for programs with no subprogs, move the constants blinding invocation into these two functions. In the verifier path, bpf_patch_insn_data() is used to keep global verifier auxiliary data in sync with patched instructions. A key question is whether this global auxiliary data should be restored on the failure path. Besides instructions, bpf_patch_insn_data() adjusts: - prog->aux->poke_tab - env->insn_array_maps - env->subprog_info - env->insn_aux_data For prog->aux->poke_tab, it is only used by JIT or only meaningful after JIT succeeds, so it does not need to be restored on the failure path. For env->insn_array_maps, when JIT fails, programs using insn arrays are rejected by bpf_insn_array_ready() due to missing JIT addresses. Hence, env->insn_array_maps is only meaningful for JIT and does not need to be restored. For subprog_info, if jit_subprogs fails and CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON is not enabled, kernel falls back to interpreter. In this case, env->subprog_info is used to determine subprogram stack depth. So it must be restored on failure. For env->insn_aux_data, it is freed by clear_insn_aux_data() at the end of bpf_check(). Before freeing, clear_insn_aux_data() loops over env->insn_aux_data to release jump targets recorded in it. The loop uses env->prog->len as the array length, but this length no longer matches the actual size of the adjusted env->insn_aux_data array after constants blinding. To address it, a simple approach is to keep insn_aux_data as adjusted after failure, since it will be freed shortly, and record its actual size for the loop in clear_insn_aux_data(). But since clear_insn_aux_data() uses the same index to loop over both env->prog->insnsi and env->insn_aux_data, this approach results in incorrect index for the insnsi array. So an alternative approach is adopted: clone the original env->insn_aux_data before blinding and restore it after failure, similar to env->prog. For classic BPF programs, constants blinding works as before since it is still invoked from bpf_prog_select_runtime().
