2026-08-12perf build: install-build-deps: add Ubuntu devel package mappingArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
With the framework and Fedora mapping in place, this patch adds the Ubuntu (apt) mapping: same feature-to-package correspondence as the Fedora one, adapted to Debian packaging conventions (libfoo-dev), on a per-distro dispatch so future distros can pick their own mapping or reuse one of these (Debian shares the Ubuntu mapping). Notable differences from Fedora: - base set: g++ (ships libstdc++-*-dev, covering cxa-demangle), pkg-config (installed implicitly by Fedora's default toolchain metapackage, but not by Ubuntu's), linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev instead of kernel-headers and glibc-devel, and rustc for rust; - cxa-demangle maps to nothing, covered by g++'s libstdc++; - the clang-bpf-co-re test needs the clang compiler binary (Fedora's clang-devel provides it transitively), and llvm-dev, which also brings llvm-config (deps on the llvm package), used by the llvm/llvm-perf tests; - libslang maps to libslang2-dev and jvmti to default-jdk; - the install command runs 'apt-get update' first since a fresh container has no package indexes, unlike dnf. Validated on a fresh Ubuntu 26.04 distrobox container so the host system is not modified: distrobox create --image ubuntu:26.04 distrobox enter ubuntu-26-04 make -C tools/perf install-build-deps which installed the 29 mapped packages; a subsequent clean O= build enabled every feature with an external dependency Ubuntu has a package for: perf's build-options then showed all of them [on], including the BPF skeletons requiring clang/llvm, the python binding and the C++-based features, with only the deliberately unmapped (deprecated) libbfd family, libperl and libunwind [OFF], and the build linked libpfm, libbabeltrace2-ctf-writer, libcapstone, libtraceevent, libslang, libnuma, libdw and libssl. Re-running the target is a no-op (apt-get reports "0 newly installed"). Debian (trixie) is the next planned distro: it shares this Ubuntu mapping, so enabling it reuses it as-is, once it gets validated on a Debian release.

2026-08-12perf build: install-build-deps: add Fedora devel package mappingArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
With the framework from the previous commit in place, this patch adds the per-feature mapping for Fedora/dnf: for each feature test in tools/build/feature/, the Fedora devel package providing the headers or library the test compiles against, kept explicit in the script next to the test that requires it. Special cases: - test-libdebuginfod.c includes <elfutils/debuginfod.h>, provided by elfutils-debuginfod-client-devel, not elfutils-devel; - the cxa-demangle test links against libstdc++'s builtin demangler, pulling in libstdc++-devel; - the BPF-oriented features (bpf, clang-bpf-co-re) get their headers from the base packages and clang-devel. Tests with no Fedora equivalent (bionic, compile-32, compile-x32) and the opt-in/deprecated ones (libbfd disassembler family, GTK2, LIBPERL, LIBUNWIND, CoreSight, and the tests perf itself doesn't check, like libcpupower) are deliberately not mapped. Validated on a fresh Fedora 44 toolbx container, so the host OS is not modified: toolbox create fedora:44 toolbox enter fedora:44 make -C tools/perf install-build-deps which installed the 29 mapped packages; a subsequent clean O= build enabled every feature with an external dependency Fedora provides (feature tests went to 1, except bionic/compile-32/compile-x32, which have no Fedora equivalent, and the libunwind-debug-frame tests, whose symbols Fedora's libunwind does not export), linking libpfm, libbabeltrace2-ctf-writer, libcapstone, libtraceevent, libslang and libnuma, as well as building the BPF skeletons requiring clang/llvm. Re-running the target is a no-op (dnf reports "Nothing to do"). RHEL and its derivatives share most Fedora package names but are refused by the script until this mapping is validated on them.

2026-08-12perf build: Add install-build-deps framework to install devel packagesArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Installing the development packages needed to build perf is error-prone on a fresh distro install: the packages are scattered across the feature tests in tools/build/feature/, each checking for a specific header/library, and the build only tells you what's missing after failing a check. This series adds a 'make -C tools/perf install-build-deps' target to install them in one go, deriving the package list from the feature tests themselves. This commit adds the framework, on top of the parse-time compiler probe guard from the previous commit: - the install-build-deps target in tools/perf/Makefile.perf, exempted from the config/feature detection pass, since it must run in a fresh container, before gcc or pkg-config exist, to install them; - the install-build-deps.sh script, with --list, --dry-run and --distro options, distro detection (Fedora and Ubuntu), dnf and apt-get drivers, root/passwordless-sudo handling, and the base packages common to any build: compiler, C++ compiler, make, flex, bison, libc and kernel headers, python3-setuptools (needed by the python binding) and rust (checked by the rust feature test); - the parse-time probes for optional tools, like pkg-config, use 'command -v' with stderr discarded, so a fresh container without them gets no 'which: no pkg-config in (...)' spew from make; - the script does not rely on 'set -e': its error paths are explicit, since the make target runs it via $(SHELL), where a shebang option would be ignored anyway, so direct and make-driven runs behave the same. The per-feature mappings, from each feature test to the devel package providing its headers on a given distro, are added by the follow-up patches, one per distro, together with the validation of each mapping in a fresh container: until then the target installs just the base toolchain.

2026-08-12tools build: Only probe the compiler at parse time when it is installedArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Two parse-time probes still invoke $(CC) unconditionally: - LP64 in tools/scripts/Makefile.arch, probing with $(CC) -E -x c, pulled in twice by tools/perf/Makefile.perf; - CC_NO_CLANG in tools/scripts/Makefile.include, probing with $(CC) -dM -E -x c /dev/null. In the corner case where gcc is not yet installed, the very setup the install-build-deps target, added in the next patch of this series, is meant for, these probes make even targets that never compile parse-time spew errors like: /bin/sh: 1: gcc: not found /bin/sh: 1: gcc: not found /bin/sh: 1: gcc: not found Guard both probes with 'command -v' using the first word of CC so a missing compiler is handled silently with the same result as a failing probe (CC_NO_CLANG and LP64 unset/0), and with no behavior change when the compiler is installed. Only the first word is consulted because CC may carry arguments such as 'ccache gcc', and shell implementations differ in how 'command -v' handles multiple words (dash only checks the first, bash any of them), so validating the whole CC value would silently disable both probes on some make SHELLs.

2026-08-11sched_ext: Replace SCX_RQ_BAL_KEEP with a dispatch verdict returnTejun Heo
SCX_RQ_BAL_KEEP tells the pick to keep running the previous task, a leftover from when balancing and picking were separate operations. An rq-level flag only works while dispatches and picks pair up one to one, which core scheduling breaks: selections interleave through dispatch's lock drops and a pick can consume a stale flag, keeping a task that has since been dequeued. Fixing core scheduling support requires the decision to travel with the dispatch that made it. Make scx_dispatch_sched() and balance_one() return an explicit verdict instead and drop the flag's plumbing from the tools autogen enum headers. Also factor the pick-side invocation, its follow-up queueing and the post-dispatch checks out of do_pick_task_scx() into dispatch_pick(). No functional changes intended. v2: Drop the SCX_RQ_BAL_KEEP plumbing from the tools autogen enum headers as well (Andrea).

2026-08-11selftests: drv-net: hide the devlink port_split testJakub Kicinski
The devlink port_split test has limited applicability. NICs (as opposed to switches) require at least a re-probe to apply the split configuration. On top of that the test is not compatible with our driver env, it just splits all ports on the system, not only what NETIF points at. Long term we may want to add some indication in devlink whether the port splitting is runtime (cmode of sorts), and fix the test to follow driver env. But since no (known) NIC driver can support runtime anyway let's just hide the test from the selftest framework by moving it to extra files. Having this test randomly break unrelated NICs within the DUT makes people implement allow-lists for ksft, which then means their setups don't run new tests. It's very useful during test review to see whether the test works across all the runners.

2026-08-11selftests: net: adopt harness for flow label mgrMarcelo Mendes Spessoto Junior
The kselftest_harness.h file contains modern helpers to build tests for kselftest. Dropping the custom test helpers in ipv6_flowlabel_mgr in favor of the harness makes tests more legible and conforms to the structure of the latest selftests. It also enforces the TAP standard. Another change made to the structure of the ipv6_flowlabel_mgr test file was the removal of parse_opts. The supported opts were already unused: the binary is listed in TEST_GEN_FILES, and is driven solely by ipv6_flowlabel.sh via "./ipv6_flowlabel_mgr", which never passed -l or -v. Dropping the -l gate means the two checks it previously guarded (each with a 13-second sleep, ~26 seconds total) are now unconditionally enabled on every run instead of never running at all. The TH_LOG calls and code comments now cover the information that the removed, custom -v flag used to print. Finally, FIXTURE_SETUP(flowlabel) ensures each test gets its own isolated network namespace. The previously added setup() helper was dropped to conform to the netns setup pattern used in icmp_rfc4884.c. disable_flowlabel_consistency() was moved next to reflect_flag, the only test that calls it, and now uses SKIP() instead of an ad hoc [INFO] message when the sysctl cannot be disabled.

2026-08-11selftests: net: test IPV6_FL_F_REFLECTMarcelo Mendes Spessoto Junior
According to the source code, flowlabel_consistency must be deactivated for the IPV6_FL_F_REFLECT flag to work. Since ipv6_flowlabel_mgr now runs in its own network namespace, do this directly from the test binary. Attempt to disable net.ipv6.flowlabel_consistency and skip the reflect test if that fails. A disabled flowlabel_consistency does not affect the remaining features being tested on the file, and failing to disable is not fatal and skips the reflect test only. The previously defined tcp_listen and tcp_connect helpers were reused, since the connection flow required for REFLECT validation is very similar to REMOTE.

The setup can then be reused across tests through fixtures and provide isolated network environments for each test in the case of a future adoption of kselftest_harness. It also avoids the leak of modifications to the netns in case the user runs the test file directly, outside the wrapper and without the in_netns.sh file.

2026-08-11selftests: net: test IPV6_FL_A_RENEWMarcelo Mendes Spessoto Junior
RENEW was the only flow label action without selftests coverage. Assert renew returns no error on correct usage and fails for labels that do not exist. This test is based on the previously implemented EXCL share test, which demonstrates that a new flow label with the same value can be created after the linger period. Renew is used here to show that a flow label can last longer and block a new flow label creation after the previous linger time. This test, however, demands sleep during execution, and should be placed as a conditional test under the -l option. The addition of the expect_fail_errno helper is necessary to assert the corresponding error when a function can fail in multiple ways.

2026-08-11objtool/klp: Fix relocations for EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_MODULES() symbolsJosh Poimboeuf
EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_MODULES() puts a symbol in a "module:<names>" namespace, which the module loader grants access to by matching the importing module's name against that list. klp_reloc_needed() only creates a klp reloc for module-owned exports; a vmlinux export gets a normal reloc. For a vmlinux symbol exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_MODULES(), using a normal reloc results in a modpost failure in klp-build: ERROR: modpost: module livepatch-foo uses symbol mpol_shared_policy_lookup from namespace module:kvm, but does not import it. And the modpost error is correct: even with that error removed, the patch module would fail to load: livepatch_foo: module uses symbol (mpol_shared_policy_lookup) from namespace module:kvm, but does not import it. livepatch_foo: Unknown symbol mpol_shared_policy_lookup (err -22) Treat it like an unexported symbol by using a klp reloc. Note this only affects "module:" namespaces. Ordinary namespaced exports continue to work with normal relocs thanks to copy_import_ns(), which propagates the patched object's import_ns tags to the patch module.

2026-08-11objtool/klp: Allow new references to module exportsJoe Lawrence
klp_reloc_needed() returns true for module exports to support late-module patching. However, clone_reloc_klp() unconditionally rejects symbols without a twin (i.e., new references added by the patch), even when the symbol is a known export from Module.symvers. Relax the check: allow new references to exported symbols by only erroring on !twin when there is no export. The export metadata from Module.symvers provides sufficient context to emit the klp-relocation without a twin. For a module export that isn't sufficient on its own though, as the resulting klp relocation will only be resolved at patch-enable time if the exporting module is loaded. If the original (unpatched) module already depends on the exporting module, the dependency is safe: the module loader ensures the dependency is satisfied before the patched module can be loaded, so the klp relocation target will exist. However, if the patch introduces a reference to a module that the original doesn't depend on, there is no such guarantee. The exporting module could be absent or could be unloaded at any time, leading to a relocation failure or use-after-free. So also add a build-time check: when a new symbol reference (no twin) targets a module export, verify that the original module already has at least one UNDEF symbol resolving to that same exporting module. If not, error out with a diagnostic message.

2026-08-11objtool/klp: Don't match local symbols against exportsJosh Poimboeuf
While cloning a reloc, klp diff calls find_export() to determine whether the referenced symbol is exported. That decides whether the reference needs a klp reloc, which object the klp symbol belongs to, and whether the symbol's data needs to be copied into the patch module. But find_export() matches purely on symbol name, so a static function or variable which happens to share its name with an export is mistaken for a reference to that export: - klp_reloc_needed() creates a klp reloc pointing at the exporting module's symbol rather than the local one. For a vmlinux export it skips the klp reloc altogether, leaving a normal reloc which the module loader resolves to the vmlinux symbol. - clone_reloc() treats the symbol as external and clones it without its data, leaving a dangling reference. - validate_special_section_klp_reloc() attributes a static branch or call key to the wrong module, and for a vmlinux export skips the unsupported-key check entirely. Exports are always global, so ignore local symbols in find_export().

2026-08-11objtool/klp: Fix cross-module klp relocation section namingJosh Poimboeuf
A klp relocation section is .klp.rela.<objname>.<secname>, where objname is the object being patched. klp-build wrongly derives objname from where the referenced symbol lives, not where it's referenced. For a cross-module reference like patched can_isotp code calling can.ko's can_rx_unregister(), that gives .klp.rela.can..text rather than .klp.rela.can_isotp..text. Unless the patch happens to patch can.ko as well, the relocation never gets applied and the call goes off into the weeds. Name the intermediate section __klp_relocs.<objname> so post-link can read the patched object's name from there.

2026-08-11objtool/klp: Ignore replacement offset of empty x86 alternativesJosh Poimboeuf
An x86 alternative with an empty replacement, e.g. the second entry of ALTERNATIVE_2("orig", "repl", ft1, "", ft2) has a replacementlen of zero. Its replacement offset still gets a relocation, but the label it points at is the end of the previous replacement, which is also the beginning of the *next* alternative's replacement. The value is meaningless; get_alt_entry() already ignores it for that reason. klp diff doesn't ignore it. When such an alternative belongs to a changed function, cloning its relocations drags in the unrelated neighboring replacement, along with everything that replacement references. On an x86 clang/lto build an empty alternative in meminfo_proc_show() pulled in the replacement of an alternative in proc_kcore_init(), silently emitting a klp relocation against init text which has long since been freed by the time the patch is applied. Add arch_alt_ignore_new_reloc() and skip such relocations when cloning. This has to be arch specific: on arm64 a zero-length replacement instead identifies an alternative callback, whose replacement offset points at the callback function and must be preserved.

2026-08-11objtool/klp: Fix size of empty special section entriesJosh Poimboeuf
create_fake_symbols() sizes each ANNOTATE_DATA_SPECIAL entry from the offset of the next annotation, falling back to the end of the section for the last entry. But the last entry is detected by a zero size, which also happens for an *empty* entry: ALTERNATIVE(oldinstr, "", ft) still annotates its zero-length replacement, at the same offset as the next entry's annotation. So every empty replacement gets a fake symbol spanning the entire rest of .altinstr_replacement. That's harmless today only because find_symbol_containing() picks the smaller of two overlapping symbols. Track whether a next annotation was found rather than inferring it from the size. A zero-length fake symbol is fine: find_symbol_containing() skips those, so the properly sized symbol at the same offset still wins.

Note this issue is not specific to arm64: it just needs two built-in symbol_get() callers. arm64 trips over it easily because it has KVM always compiled in vmlinux, whereas on x86 it's typically a module.

2026-08-11docs: python: abi_regex: convert adjacent index placeholdersAlison Schofield
While validating recent CXL ABI documentation updates with get_abi.py, every decoderX.Y entry was reported as undocumented. The placeholder conversion mishandles adjacent index placeholders, producing patterns that cannot match the corresponding sysfs paths. As a result, valid ABI entries are reported as undocumented. Handle adjacent placeholders independently so generated patterns match the documented paths. This fixes decoderX.Y entries in the CXL ABI and other ABI documentation that uses the same naming convention.

2026-08-11selftests: tls: cover splice after a failed decryptChuck Lever
Nothing in this file splices a socket whose last decrypt failed, so the check that fails tls_sw_splice_read() on a broken connection can be removed without a test noticing. Such a splice hands the application plaintext that recvmsg() and read_sock() already refuse to return. Extend the bad_auth pattern. Corrupt an authenticated record, confirm recvmsg() reports EBADMSG, then splice the same socket and require EBADMSG again. A synchronous decrypt fails again on the still-queued record, so only an async decrypt reaches EBADMSG through the recorded-failure check alone. bad_auth builds the same corrupted record, so its construction moves into a helper the two tests share.

But with drv-net across two hosts tests fail as early as when calling cfg.remote.deploy due to effectively losing connectivity. Isolate the intended test traffic: - mark that with SO_MARK 100 - install a regular permissive root prio qdisc for background traffic - install the ETF qdisc as leaf - install a filter that only directs SO_MARK 100 traffic to this leaf Technically other high prio traffic will map onto this leaf based on ToS band mapping too.

Add a hw_stats_settle() helper which sleeps for 1.25x the configured stats-block-usecs (defaulting to 20ms when the device reports no, or a zero, period). Use it for ethtool std stats and RMON.
