2026-08-14libbpf: Fix ring buffer consumer loop on 32-bit position wrapIsrael Téllez García
ringbuf_process_ring() walks the records between the consumer and the producer with an ordering comparison: while (cons_pos < prod_pos) { cons_pos and prod_pos mirror the kernel's ring positions and are unsigned long here too, so on 32-bit they wrap at 2^32 bytes of traffic. When producer_pos has wrapped and consumer_pos has not, prod_pos is the smaller of the two, the loop body never runs and no record is consumed. Since consumer_pos only advances inside that loop, it never wraps either and the consumer stops delivering samples for good, with no error returned to the caller: ring_buffer__poll() keeps reporting zero records while the kernel side fills up and starts dropping. Compare the distance instead. The consumer never runs ahead of the producer, so prod_pos - cons_pos is the amount of unconsumed data and stays correct across the wrap. 64-bit hosts are unaffected in practice: the counters would need 16 EiB to wrap. This is the userspace counterpart of the kernel-side walk fixed in "bpf: Fix pending_pos walk on 32-bit ring position wrap"; a 32-bit consumer hits whichever of the two comes first.

2026-08-13bpftool: Generate skeleton for global percpu dataLeon Hwang
Enhance bpftool to generate skeletons that properly handle global percpu variables. The generated skeleton now includes a dedicated structure for percpu data, allowing users to initialize and access percpu variables more efficiently. For global percpu variables, the skeleton now includes a nested structure, e.g.: struct test_global_percpu_data { struct bpf_object_skeleton *skeleton; struct bpf_object *obj; struct { struct bpf_map *percpu; } maps; // ... struct test_global_percpu_data__percpu { int data; char run; struct { char set; int i; int nums[7]; } struct_data; int nums[7]; } *percpu; // ... }; * The "struct test_global_percpu_data__percpu *percpu" points to initialized data, which is actually "maps.percpu->mmaped". * Before loading the skeleton, updating the "struct test_global_percpu_data__percpu *percpu" modifies the initial value of the corresponding global percpu variables. * After loading the skeleton, "maps.percpu->mmaped" has been marked as read-only in libbpf. If users want to update the global percpu variables, they have to update the "maps.percpu" map instead. * For lightweight skeleton, "lskel->percpu" will be protected by "mprotect(p, sz, PROT_READ)". * For subskeleton, those variables of global percpu data will be skipped.

2026-08-13libbpf: Add support for global percpu dataLeon Hwang
Add support for global percpu data in libbpf by adding a new ".percpu" section, similar to ".data". It enables efficient handling of percpu global variables in bpf programs. When generating loader for lightweight skeleton, update the percpu_array map used for global percpu data using BPF_F_ALL_CPUS, in order to update values across all CPUs using one value slot. Unlike global data, the mmaped data for global percpu data will be marked as read-only after populating the percpu_array map. Thereafter, users can read those initialized percpu data after loading prog. If they want to update the percpu data after loading prog, they have to update the percpu_array map using key=0 instead.

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.

2026-08-07tools/lib/thermal: Fix misplaced extern "C" closing braceAndreas Haufler
The public libthermal header opens the C++ 'extern "C" {' block inside the __LIBTHERMAL_H include guard, but places the closing brace after the guard has already ended: #endif /* __LIBTHERMAL_H */ #ifdef __cplusplus } #endif On a single inclusion the braces still balance, so the problem is invisible. On the second inclusion of the header in the same C++ translation unit the include guard skips the opening 'extern "C" {', while the closing '}' lives outside the guard and is emitted anyway. This leaves a stray '}' and breaks compilation for any C++ consumer that includes the header more than once. Move the closing block inside the include guard so both halves of the 'extern "C"' declaration are guarded consistently.

2026-07-16tools/lib/api: Fix potential double-free from fdarray__grow()Namhyung Kim
If the realloc for fda->entries succeeds but the realloc for fda->priv fails, the error path frees the newly allocated entries. However, fda->entries is neither updated to point to the new entries block nor cleared to NULL. If realloc moved the allocation to a new block, the old fda->entries pointer is now freed memory. When fdarray__exit() is later called to clean up, it executes free(fda->entries), which would trigger a double-free on that old pointer.

2026-07-10perf record: Fix teardown hang on system-wide multi-threaded sessionsIan Rogers
Under system-wide (-a) parallel streaming mode (--threads=cpu), background recording threads can be inundated by a continuous firehose of hardware samples generated by the OS. In this state, a background thread's local hit count remains unequal to its sample count, causing it to bypass the blocking fdarray__poll() call entirely on each iteration of its recording loop. Because the termination check relies on the POLLHUP event status populated specifically by fdarray__poll(), bypassing it prevents the background thread from ever recognizing that its control pipe was closed by the main thread. This traps the background thread in an infinite recording loop, hanging the main thread indefinitely as it awaits a termination acknowledgment that never arrives. Ensure teardown completion by adding explicit evlist__disable() calls in the main thread's cleanup paths at out_child: and out_child_no_flush:. Additionally, patch fdarray__filter() to respect the fdarray_flag__nonfilterable flag, preventing it from incorrectly setting the background thread's control pipe file descriptor to -1 and clearing its revents mask upon processing termination POLLHUP signals.

2026-07-10libbpf: Fix double-free of distilled base BTF on .BTF.ext parse errorNaveed Khan
When btf_parse_elf() is called without a caller-supplied base_btf (i.e. via the public btf__parse_elf()) and the object file carries a .BTF.base (distilled base) section, a dist_base_btf object is created and used as the base of the split BTF built from the .BTF section. Because base_btf is NULL, the relocation block that would otherwise free and clear dist_base_btf is skipped, and ownership of dist_base_btf is instead transferred to the split btf by setting btf->owns_base = true. That ownership transfer was performed before the fallible btf_ext__new() call that parses the .BTF.ext section. If .BTF.ext is malformed, btf_ext__new() fails and the function jumps to the error path, which frees dist_base_btf directly and then frees btf. Since owns_base is already set, btf__free(btf) also frees btf->base_btf, which is the same dist_base_btf object. The result is a use-after-free read followed by a double free of the base BTF, driven entirely by a crafted object file (a .BTF + .BTF.base + malformed .BTF.ext combination) passed to btf__parse_elf(), as used by bpftool, pahole and similar tools. Transfer ownership only after .BTF.ext has been parsed successfully, so that any earlier failure leaves dist_base_btf owned solely by the local cleanup path and it is freed exactly once.

2026-07-08libbpf: Drop in-loader metadata check for load-time verificationDaniel Borkmann
The signed gen_loader used to police its own metadata map from within BPF: emit_signature_match() read the kernel-cached map->sha[] back through hardcoded struct bpf_map offsets and compared it against a hash that compute_sha_update_offsets() baked into the signed instructions, after a BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD round-trip to populate map->sha[]. The kernel now verifies the metadata at BPF_PROG_LOAD time by folding the frozen contents of the loader's exclusive fd_array maps into the signature, so the loader no longer checks anything itself. Generated loaders thus carry no verification logic of their own anymore: Nothing in the signing chain depends on emitted loader bytecode doing the right thing. On the loading side, skel_internal.h now sets fd_array_cnt for a signed load so the kernel scans fd_array for the exclusive metadata map - still frozen, as the kernel requires - and the BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD round-trip to populate map->sha[] is gone. The struct bpf_map layout BUILD_BUG_ON()s on the kernel side are removed as well: they only pinned the ABI for the in-BPF read of map->sha[] that is no longer needed. Same for the map->excl member. Note: gen_hash is retained; it still marks a loader as signed so an untrusted host cannot re-dimension maps or override initial values now covered by the signature.

2026-07-07perf record: fix poll storm when monitored threads exitJiawei Sun
When `perf record` samples a multi-threaded process and one of the target threads exits during the session, perf itself may start burning 100% CPU (up to 200% across two cores) until the session ends. A single dead fd is sufficient to trigger this; it can be reproduced with 15 pthreads in a compute loop where one thread exits halfway through. The root cause is two independent instances of the same defect: dead perf_event ring-buffer fds are left in a pollfd array. When a monitored thread exits, the kernel closes its ring-buffer fd, which then returns POLLHUP. POSIX specifies that poll() always reports POLLHUP and POLLERR regardless of the events mask, so any dead fd left in the array makes poll() return immediately every time, spinning in a tight loop: 3 seconds: 256,600 poll() calls, 0 context switches, only 21 write() Woken up count goes from ~0 to 1,300,000+ There are two affected poll paths, fixed together here: 1. Record main loop, via fdarray__filter() (tools/lib/api/fd/array.c). Since commit 59b4412f27f1 ("libperf: Avoid internal moving of fdarray fds") it only zeroes events/revents without setting fd to -1, so poll() keeps reporting POLLHUP for the entry. Setting fd = -1 makes poll() skip it, matching the pattern already used in the control-fd path at tools/perf/builtin-record.c:1673. 2. BPF sideband thread, perf_evlist__poll_thread() (tools/perf/util/sideband_evlist.c). This thread polls for PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT but, unlike the main record loop, never calls fdarray__filter() at all, so dead fds accumulate forever and it spins at 100% CPU: Before fix: dJiffies=101, wchan=0 (running) After fix: dJiffies=0, wchan=do_sys_poll (blocking) Fixed by calling the existing evlist__filter_pollfd() helper after evlist__poll(), mirroring the main record loop. <poll.h> is included for the POLLERR/POLLHUP macros (previously unused there). The two fixes compose: fix 1 makes poll() ignore dead fds (fd=-1); fix 2 ensures the sideband thread actually performs the filtering. Both paths are affected in all kernels from v5.1/v5.9 to the current master (7.2-rc1); the source of both functions is byte-identical across them. BPF event recording is preserved: after the fix, perf.data still contains PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT records and bpf_prog_info entries. Verified on perf 6.1.76, 6.6.143 and 7.2-rc1 with a minimal reproducer (Woken up 1,300,000 -> 3, CPU 100% -> 0%) and an A/B orthogonal test: keeping the unpatched binary but preventing the target thread from exiting also makes the storm disappear, confirming the trigger.

bpf_object__probe_loading() tries to load trivial SOCKET_FILTER and TRACEPOINT programs to verify the BPF environment works. When a BPF token is in use with restricted program type permissions, these probe loads may fail because the token does not allow the specific program types, even though BPF loading is perfectly functional. Fix by skipping the probe when a token FD is present: BPF token creation itself proves the kernel has a working BPF subsystem. Real BPF issues will be caught during actual program and map loading.

2026-06-25libbpf: fix -Wformat warnings from format/argument type mismatchesAndrii Nakryiko
Building libbpf with -Wall (as happens via bpftool's bootstrap build) surfaces ~120 -Wformat warnings where pr_warn/pr_debug format specifiers don't match their argument types: %d for __u32/Elf64_Word, %u for signed ints, %zd for size_t, %ld for unsigned long, and %x/%lx/%llx applied to signed values. Match each specifier to its argument's type where a correctly-signed specifier exists (%d<->%u, %ld->%lu, %zd->%zu). For hex conversions, which have no signed form, cast the argument instead (%x->(unsigned), %lx->(unsigned long), %llx->(unsigned long long)). No functional change. Note, the fdinfo map_flags sscanf used %i into a __u32 *, which warns. The kernel prints map_flags as hex ("map_flags:\t%#x\n" in bpf_map_show_fdinfo(), unchanged since the field was added to fdinfo), so switch the conversion to %x: it parses the 0x-prefixed value and expects unsigned int *, matching the destination, so the warning is gone with no cast.

Cover it with unit tests. - Stop record trace on interrupt Fix a bug where an interval exists after receiving a signal in which the main instance is stopped but the record instance is not, leading to discrepancies in reported results and sometimes rtla hanging. - Restore continue flag in actions_perform() Fix a bug where rtla always continues tracing after hitting a threshold even if the continue action was triggered just once, and add tests verifying that the flag is reset properly. - Migrate command line interface to libsubcmd Replace rtla's argument parsing using getopt_long() with libsubcmd, used by perf and objtool, to reuse existing code and auto-generate better help messages. Extensive unit tests are included to detect regressions. - Add -A/--aligned option to timerlat tools Add an option to align timerlat threads, based on the recently introduced TIMERLAT_ALIGN option of the timerlat tracer, together with unit tests and documentation. - Document tests in README Document how to run unit and runtime tests in rtla's README.txt, including the dependencies needed to run them. * tag 'trace-tools-v7.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (26 commits) rtla: Document tests in README Documentation/rtla: Add -A/--aligned option rtla/tests: Add unit tests for -A/--aligned option rtla/timerlat: Add -A/--aligned CLI option rtla/tests: Add unit tests for CLI option callbacks rtla/tests: Add unit tests for _parse_args() functions rtla: Parse cmdline using libsubcmd tools subcmd: allow parsing distinct --opt and --no-opt tools subcmd: support optarg as separate argument rtla: Add libsubcmd dependency rtla/tests: Add runtime tests for restoring continue flag rtla/tests: Run runtime tests in temporary directory rtla/tests: Add unit test for restoring continue flag rtla/actions: Restore continue flag in actions_perform() rtla: Stop the record trace on interrupt rtla/tests: Add unit tests for actions module rtla/tests: Add runtime tests for -C/--cgroup rtla/tests: Add runtime test for -k and -u options rtla/tests: Add runtime test for -H/--house-keeping rtla/tests: Cover all hist options in runtime tests ...

2026-06-14libbpf: Initialize CFLAGS before including Makefile.includeLeo Yan
tools/scripts/Makefile.include may expand EXTRA_CFLAGS in a future change. This could alter the initialization of CFLAGS, as the default options "-g -O2" would never be set once EXTRA_CFLAGS is expanded. Prepare for this by moving the CFLAGS initialization before including tools/scripts/Makefile.include, so it is not affected by the extended EXTRA_CFLAGS. Append EXTRA_CFLAGS to CFLAGS only after including Makefile.include and place it last so that the extra flags propagate properly and can override the default options. tools/scripts/Makefile.include already appends $(CLANG_CROSS_FLAGS) to CFLAGS, the Makefile appends $(CLANG_CROSS_FLAGS) again, remove the redundant append.

2026-06-10tools lib api: Fix mount_overload() snprintf truncation and toupper rangeArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
mount_overload() builds an environment variable name like "PERF_SYSFS_ENVIRONMENT" from fs->name. Two bugs: 1) snprintf() uses name_len as the buffer size instead of sizeof(upper_name). For fs->name = "sysfs" (len=5), the output is truncated to "PERF" (4 chars + null), so getenv() never finds the intended variable. 2) mem_toupper() only uppercases name_len bytes, converting just the "PERF" prefix rather than the full string including the filesystem name portion. Fix by using sizeof(upper_name) for snprintf and strlen(upper_name) for mem_toupper, so the full "PERF_SYSFS_ENVIRONMENT" string is correctly formatted and uppercased.

2026-06-10tools lib api: Fix filename__write_int() writing uninitialized stack dataArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
filename__write_int() formats an integer into a 64-byte buffer with sprintf() then passes sizeof(buf) (64) as the write length. This writes all 64 bytes including uninitialized stack data past the formatted string. Most sysfs files reject the oversized write, making the function always return -1. Fix by capturing the sprintf() return value and using it as the write length.

2026-06-10tools lib api: Fix missing null termination in filename__read_int/ull()Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
filename__read_int() passes a stack buffer to read() using the full sizeof(line) and then hands it to atoi() without null-terminating. If a sysfs file fills the 64-byte buffer exactly, atoi() reads past the array into uninitialized stack memory. filename__read_ull_base() has the same issue with strtoull(). Fix both by reading sizeof(line) - 1 bytes and explicitly null-terminating after a successful read.

Add a bullet point to the libperf ABI TODO explaining the code simplification benefit of widening struct perf_cpu.cpu from int16_t to int: the narrow type forces defensive truncation checks at every boundary where wider CPU indices are narrowed, and values > 32767 silently wrap to negative numbers (two's complement), bypassing bounds validation without them.

2026-06-07libbpf: Add support to create tracing multi linkJiri Olsa
Adding bpf_program__attach_tracing_multi function for attaching tracing program to multiple functions. struct bpf_link * bpf_program__attach_tracing_multi(const struct bpf_program *prog, const char *pattern, const struct bpf_tracing_multi_opts *opts); User can specify functions to attach with 'pattern' argument that allows wildcards (*?' supported) or provide BTF ids of functions in array directly via opts argument. These options are mutually exclusive. When using BTF ids, user can also provide cookie value for each provided id/function, that can be retrieved later in bpf program with bpf_get_attach_cookie helper. Each cookie value is paired with provided BTF id with the same array index. Adding support to auto attach programs with following sections: fsession.multi/<pattern> fsession.multi.s/<pattern> fentry.multi/<pattern> fexit.multi/<pattern> fentry.multi.s/<pattern> fexit.multi.s/<pattern> The provided <pattern> is used as 'pattern' argument in bpf_program__attach_kprobe_multi_opts function. The <pattern> allows to specify optional kernel module name with following syntax: <module>:<function_pattern> In order to attach tracing_multi link to a module functions: - program must be loaded with 'module' btf fd (in attr::attach_btf_obj_fd) - bpf_program__attach_tracing_multi must either have pattern with module spec or BTF ids from the module Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260606123955.345967-21-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>

2026-06-07bpf: Add support for tracing multi linkJiri Olsa
Adding new link to allow to attach program to multiple function BTF IDs. The link is represented by struct bpf_tracing_multi_link. To configure the link, new fields are added to bpf_attr::link_create to pass array of BTF IDs; struct { __aligned_u64 ids; __u32 cnt; } tracing_multi; Each BTF ID represents function (BTF_KIND_FUNC) that the link will attach bpf program to. We use previously added bpf_trampoline_multi_attach/detach functions to attach/detach the link. The linkinfo/fdinfo callbacks will be implemented in following changes. Note this is supported only for archs (x86_64) with ftrace direct and have single ops support.
