Pull kvm fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
"arm64:
- Restore CONFIG_PKVM_DISABLE_STAGE2_ON_PANIC to its former glory by
making sure the config symbol is correctly spelled out in the code
- Don't reset the AArch32 view of the PMU counters to zero when the
guest is writing to them
- Fix an assorted collection of memory leaks in the newly added
tracing code
- Fix the capping of ZCR_EL2 which could be used in an unsanitised
way by an L2 guest
x86:
- Include the kernel's linux/mman.h in KVM selftests to ensure
MADV_COLLAPSE is defined, as older libc versions may not provide
it.
- Include execinfo.h if and only if KVM selftests are building
against glibc, and provide a test_dump_stack() for non-glibc
builds.
- Silence an annoying RCU splat on (even non-KVM-related) panics.
The splat is technically legit, but in practice not an issue. To
have a race, you would need to unload the KVM modules at exactly
the time a panic happens; and speaking of incredibly rare races,
taking the locks risks introducing a deadlock if the module unload
code took the lock on a CPU that has been halted. Which seems
possibly more likely than the RCU grace period issue, so just shut
it up. This code used to be in KVM but is now outside it; but the
x86 maintainers haven't picked it up, so here we are.
- Rate-limit global clock updates once again (but without delayed
work), as KVM was subtly relying on the old rate-limiting for NPT
correction to guard against "update storms" when running without a
master clock on systems with overcommitted CPUs.
- Fix a brown paper bag goof where KVM checked if ERAPS is "dirty"
instead of marking it dirty when emulating INVPCID.
- Flush the TLB when transitioning from xAVIC => x2AVIC to ensure the
CPU TLB doesn't contain AVIC-tagged entries for the APIC base GPA.
- The top 10 commits fix buffer overflow (and potential TOC/TOU)
flaws in the page state change protocol for encrypted VMs. AI

Chris Adams reported that preserving insertion order for same-scope
addresses is causing SSH connections to be dropped after stopping a VM
while running NetworkManager.
NetworkManager caches the IPv6 address configuration, when a RA arrives,
it determines the list of addresses to configure and checks if the
addresses are already in the right order in the kernel. If they aren't,
NetworkManager removes and re-adds them to achieve the desired order.
As the order changes, NetworkManager is confused and reconfigures the
addresses on every update. In addition, this would also affect to cloud
tooling that relies on IPv6 addresses order to identify primary and
secondaries addresses.
This reverts commit cb3de96eea66f5e4a580086c6a1be46e765f97f4.

Since the leafloop test program was moved into the main Perf binary as a
workload, it inherited the same compiler options as Perf. In this case
the -fstack-protector option broke the assumption that simple leaf
frames don't have a stack frame on Arm. This causes
test_arm_callgraph_fp.sh to pass even if the stack isn't augmented with
the link register, making the test useless.
Fix it by rewriting the leaf function in assembly seeing as it's so
simple. Adding -fno-stack-protector would also work, but wouldn't be
robust against other future compiler option additions.
The local variables and 'a' variable were never needed so remove them to
simplify.

Add a shell test that verifies perf report handles truncated perf.data
files gracefully — exiting with an error code rather than crashing with
SIGSEGV or SIGABRT.
The test records a simple workload, then truncates the resulting
perf.data at four offsets that exercise different parsing stages:
8 bytes — file header magic only
64 bytes — partial file header (attr section incomplete)
256 bytes — into the first events (partial event headers)
75% size — mid-stream truncation (partial event data)
For each truncation, perf report is run and the exit code is checked:
- Exit code 0 (success) fails the test — a truncated file should
never parse without error.
- Crash signals are detected portably via kill -l, which maps the
signal number to a name on the running system. This handles
architectures where signal numbers differ (e.g. SIGBUS is 7 on
x86/ARM but 10 on MIPS/SPARC). Core-dump and fatal signals
(KILL, ILL, ABRT, BUS, FPE, SEGV, TRAP, SYS) fail the test.
- Higher exit codes (200+) are perf's own negative-errno returns
(e.g. -EINVAL = 234) and are expected.
This exercises the bounds checking, minimum-size validation, and error
propagation added by the preceding patches in this series.
Testing it:
root@number:~# perf test truncat
84: Test that perf report handles truncated perf.data gracefully (no crash, no segfault — clean error exit).: Ok
root@number:~# perf test -vv truncat
84: Test that perf report handles truncated perf.data gracefully (no crash, no segfault — clean error exit).:

On native-endian files, events are read from MAP_SHARED memory.
Multiple reads of event->header.size can return different values
if the file is concurrently modified, allowing an attacker to
bypass bounds checks performed on an earlier read.
Snapshot header.size into a local variable at function entry using
READ_ONCE() to prevent compiler rematerialization, and use it for
all size-dependent arithmetic within the function. This ensures
every bounds calculation uses the same value that was validated
by the reader.

work->cpu comes from sample->cpu which is (u32)-1 when
PERF_SAMPLE_CPU is absent. Stored as int, this becomes -1
which passes the signed BUG_ON(work->cpu >= MAX_NR_CPUS) but
causes an out-of-bounds access on cpus_runtime[-1].
Replace the BUG_ON in top_calc_total_runtime() with an unsigned
bounds check that skips entries with invalid CPU values, counting
them for a summary warning.
Guard the same index in profile_event_match() (bitmap OOB),
top_calc_idle_time(), top_calc_irq_runtime(), top_calc_cpu_usage(),
and top_calc_load_runtime(). Also guard against division by zero
in top_calc_cpu_usage() when no runtime was accumulated.

Several downstream consumers (timechart, kwork, sched) use fixed-size
arrays indexed by CPU. A crafted perf.data can supply arbitrary CPU
values that index past these arrays, causing out-of-bounds access.
Validate sample.cpu against min(nr_cpus_avail, MAX_NR_CPUS) in
perf_session__deliver_event() before any tool callback runs. The
cap at MAX_NR_CPUS protects fixed-size downstream arrays; the true
nr_cpus_avail is preserved in env for header parsing (e.g.
process_cpu_topology) which needs the real count.
Fall back to MAX_NR_CPUS when HEADER_NRCPUS is missing (truncated
files, pipe mode, pre-2017 perf).
Only validate when PERF_SAMPLE_CPU is set in sample_type — when
absent, evsel__parse_sample() leaves sample.cpu as (u32)-1, a
sentinel that downstream tools (script, inject) check to identify
events without CPU info. Clamping it to 0 would break those checks.
Inline evlist__parse_sample() into perf_session__deliver_event()
so the evsel lookup needed for sample_type checking reuses the same
evsel that parsed the sample, avoiding a second evlist__event2evsel()
call on every event.
For pipe-mode streams where HEADER_NRCPUS may arrive late or not at
all, the MAX_NR_CPUS fallback ensures the bounds check is still
effective against the fixed-size downstream arrays.

On 32-bit systems, sizeof(struct decomp) + decomp_len can wrap
size_t when comp_mmap_len is large. The preceding patch validates
comp_mmap_len alignment but does not cap the upper bound, so two
additions can still overflow:
1. decomp_len += decomp_last_rem: on 32-bit, adding a u64 to
size_t silently truncates, producing a corrupted decomp_len
that would bypass the subsequent overflow check and result
in an undersized buffer allocation.
2. sizeof(struct decomp) + decomp_len: the final addition could
overflow on systems with small size_t.
Add explicit overflow checks before each addition as
defense-in-depth.

Add several hardening checks to the compressed event decompression
pipeline:
1. Guard against decomp_last_rem underflow: check that
decomp_last->head does not exceed decomp_last->size before
subtracting. A u64 underflow here would produce a huge
decomp_len, causing an oversized mmap allocation.
2. Validate comp_mmap_len from the HEADER_COMPRESSED feature
section: reject values that are not 4K-aligned or smaller than
4096. The downstream decompression path checks allocation
sizes against SIZE_MAX, which handles 32-bit safety.
3. Validate COMPRESSED event header size: reject events where
header.size is too small to contain the fixed struct fields,
preventing underflow in the payload size calculation.
4. Validate COMPRESSED2 event data_size: check that data_size
does not exceed the available payload (header.size minus the
fixed struct fields) for the newer compressed format.
5. Reject compressed events when the HEADER_COMPRESSED feature
is missing from the file header, which means no decompression
context was initialized.

PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED2 events carry a data_size field that must be
byte-swapped when reading cross-endian perf.data files. Without a
swap handler, reading COMPRESSED2 events on a different-endian machine
would misinterpret data_size as a garbage value, causing the
decompression path to read the wrong number of bytes.
The compressed payload itself is a raw byte stream and needs no
swapping.

do_read_bitmap() reads a u64 bit count from the file and passes it
to bitmap_zalloc() without checking it against the remaining section
size. A crafted perf.data could trigger a large allocation that would
only fail later when the per-element reads exceed section bounds.
Additionally, bitmap_zalloc() takes an int parameter, so a crafted
size with bits set above bit 31 (e.g. 0x100000040) would pass the
section bounds check but truncate when passed to bitmap_zalloc(),
allocating a much smaller buffer than the subsequent read loop
expects.
Reject size values that exceed INT_MAX, and check that the data
needed (BITS_TO_U64(size) u64 values) fits in the remaining section
before allocating. Switch from bitmap_zalloc() to calloc() of u64
units so the allocation size matches the u64 read/write granularity
and avoids unsigned long vs u64 mismatch on 32-bit architectures.
Fix do_write_bitmap() to use memcpy to read u64-sized chunks from
the unsigned long bitmap, preventing out-of-bounds reads on 32-bit
systems where sizeof(unsigned long) is 4 but the bitmap is stored
in u64 units.
Fix process_mem_topology() minimum section size: the check used
nr * 2 * sizeof(u64) per node, but do_read_bitmap() reads an
additional u64 for the bitmap size, so the minimum is 3 * sizeof(u64).
Fix memory leak in process_mem_topology() error paths: replace
free(nodes) with memory_node__delete_nodes() to free per-node
bitmaps allocated by do_read_bitmap().

read_event_desc() reads nre (event count), sz (attr size), and nr
(IDs per event) from the file and uses them to control allocations
and loops without validating them against the section size.
A crafted perf.data could trigger large allocations or many loop
iterations before __do_read() eventually rejects the reads.
Add bounds checks in read_event_desc():
- Reject sz smaller than PERF_ATTR_SIZE_VER0.
- Require at least one event (nre > 0).
- Check that nre events fit in the remaining section, using the
minimum per-event footprint of sz + sizeof(u32).
- Pre-swap attr->size to native byte order, then reject values
below PERF_ATTR_SIZE_VER0 or above sz before calling
perf_event__attr_swap() to prevent heap out-of-bounds access.
- Handle ABI0 (attr.size == 0): substitute PERF_ATTR_SIZE_VER0,
and on native-endian files write the value back so
free_event_desc() does not treat the zero as its end-of-array
sentinel (it iterates while attr.size != 0). The swap path
skips the write-back — perf_event__attr_swap() has its own
ABI0 fallback that sets VER0 after swapping.
- Check that nr IDs fit in the remaining section before allocating.

Harden feature section parsing against crafted perf.data files:
1. perf_header__process_sections() reads the feature section table
and passes each section's offset and size directly to the
processing callbacks without validating them against the actual
file size. A crafted section size would make all downstream
bounds checks against ff->size ineffective since they compare
against the untrusted, inflated bound. Add an fstat() check
with S_ISREG() guard and verify that each section's offset +
size does not extend past EOF.
2. __do_read_buf() validates reads against ff->size (section size),
but __do_read_fd() had no such check, so a malformed perf.data
with an understated section size could cause reads past the end
of the current section into the next section's data. Add the
bounds check in __do_read(), the common caller of both helpers,
so it is enforced uniformly for both the fd and buf paths.
Track the section-relative offset in __do_read_fd() so the
check works for the fd path. Reject negative sizes which on
32-bit can occur when a u32 >= 0x80000000 is passed as ssize_t.
3. do_read_string() relied on file data being null-padded. Add
explicit null-termination (buf[len-1] = '\0') after reading
and validate length (>= 1, fits within section) before
allocating, so callers like process_cpu_topology() never
receive an unterminated string.
4. Initialize feat_fd.offset to 0 (section-relative) instead of
section->offset (file-absolute) so the bounds tracking is
consistent with __do_read()'s section-relative comparison.
Adjust process_build_id() to use lseek() for its file-absolute
offset needs since it cannot rely on ff->offset for that.
5. Propagate ff->size to perf_file_section__fprintf_info() so its
reads are also bounded.

perf_session__read_header()
perf_session__read_header() reads f_attr.ids.size from the perf.data
file and divides it by sizeof(u64) to compute nr_ids, which is
declared as int. No validation is performed on the value before it
is used to allocate arrays and drive a read loop.
On 32-bit architectures, a crafted f_attr.ids.size of 0x100000000
(4 GB) produces nr_ids = 0x20000000, but the allocation size
1 * 0x20000000 * 8 overflows size_t to 0, so zalloc(0) returns a
valid pointer. The subsequent loop writes 0x20000000 IDs into that
zero-length buffer, corrupting the heap.
On 64-bit, the u64-to-int truncation silently drops high bits,
processing fewer IDs than the file claims. While not exploitable,
this is a data integrity issue.
Add validation before using f_attr.ids:
- Cap nr_attrs (attrs.size / attr_size) to MAX_NR_ATTRS (1 << 16)
with overflow-safe u64 comparison before assigning to int
- Reject ids.size not aligned to sizeof(u64)
- Cap ids.size / sizeof(u64) to MAX_IDS_PER_ATTR (1 << 24) to
prevent int truncation and size_t overflow on 32-bit
- Reject ids sections that extend past the end of the file,
guarded by S_ISREG() so non-regular files (block devices,
pipes) are not falsely rejected
Also fix perf_header__getbuffer64() to set errno = EIO when
readn() returns 0 (EOF). Without this, the out_errno path in
perf_session__read_header() returns -errno which is 0 (success)
on truncated files, causing downstream NULL dereferences.

perf_session__read_header() discards the return value from
perf_header__process_sections(), so any error from a feature
section processor (process_nrcpus, process_compressed, etc.)
is silently ignored and the session opens as if nothing went
wrong.
This defeats the validation added by subsequent commits in this
series: a crafted perf.data that fails a feature section check
would still be processed with partially-initialized state.
Check the return value and fail the session if any feature
section processor returns an error.
For truncated files (data.size == 0, i.e. recording was
interrupted before the header was finalized), skip feature
section processing entirely and clear the feature bitmap so
tools use their "feature not present" fallbacks instead of
accessing uninitialized env fields.
Change the feature processor stubs for optional libraries
(libtraceevent, libbpf) from returning -1 to returning 0,
so that perf.data files containing these features can still be
opened on builds without the optional library — the feature is
simply skipped rather than causing a fatal error.
Also propagate evlist__prepare_tracepoint_events() failure as
-ENOMEM, since the function can fail due to strdup() allocation
failure inside evsel__prepare_tracepoint_event().

printing
perf_event_attr__fprintf() accessed all struct fields unconditionally,
but attrs from older perf.data files or BPF-captured syscall payloads
may have a smaller size than the current struct. Fields beyond the
recorded size contain uninitialized or zero-filled data.
Add size-guarded macros (PRINT_ATTRn, PRINT_ATTRn_bf) that compare
each field's offset against attr->size before accessing it.
Guard the bitfield block (disabled, inherit, ... defer_output) with
attr_size >= 48. These bitfields share a single __u64 at offset 40,
which is within PERF_ATTR_SIZE_VER0 for validated perf.data attrs,
but BPF-captured attrs from perf trace can have a smaller size when
the tracee passes a minimal struct to sys_perf_event_open.
Also fix the BPF trace path: when perf trace intercepts
sys_perf_event_open via BPF, the program copies PERF_ATTR_SIZE_VER0
bytes when the tracee passes size=0, but leaves the size field as 0.
Set attr->size to PERF_ATTR_SIZE_VER0 in the augmented syscall
handler so the bounds checks match the actual copied size.

- Validate CPUS event size before accessing the cpu_map
type/nr/long_size fields, which also start at the min_size

PERF_RECORD_BPF_METADATA has no entry in perf_event__swap_ops[], so its
nr_entries field is never byte-swapped when reading a cross-endian
perf.data file. Downstream processing in
perf_event__fprintf_bpf_metadata() loops over nr_entries, so a
foreign-endian value causes out-of-bounds reads.
Add a swap handler that byte-swaps nr_entries after validating that
header.size is large enough. The entries[] array contains only char
arrays (key/value strings), so no per-entry swap is needed — but ensure
NUL-termination on the writable cross-endian path.
Validate header.size, nr_entries, and string NUL-termination in the

validation — the event is on a MAP_SHARED mmap that could theoretically

Fix four issues in PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE_ERROR handling:
1. auxtrace_error_name() takes a signed int parameter, but e->type
is __u32. A crafted value like 0xFFFFFFFF converts to -1, passes
the bounds check, and causes a negative array index. Fix by
changing the parameter to unsigned int.
2. The msg field is printed via %s without a length bound. The
min_size table only guarantees fields up to msg (offset 48), so
a truncated event has zero msg bytes within the event boundary.
Compute the available msg length from header.size, cap at
sizeof(e->msg), and use %.*s.
3. fmt >= 2 adds machine_pid and vcpu fields after msg[64]. Older
files may have fmt >= 2 but an event size that doesn't include
these fields. Add a size check in the swap handler to downgrade
fmt before the conditional field access, and a matching size
guard in the fprintf path for native-endian events (which are
mmap'd read-only and can't be modified in place).
4. python_process_auxtrace_error() had the same issues: msg was
passed to tuple_set_string() unbounded, and machine_pid/vcpu
were accessed unconditionally without checking fmt or event
size. Apply the same bounds checks.

paths
Several event types use an nr field to control iteration over
variable-length arrays. The swap handlers byte-swap and loop using
these fields without bounds checks, and the native processing path
trusts them as well.
Add bounds checks on both paths for:
- PERF_RECORD_THREAD_MAP: validate nr against payload, return -1
on the swap path. On the native path, reject with -EINVAL.
- PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES: clamp nr on the swap path (safe because
each entry is indexed by type; missing entries just won't be
resolved). Skip the event on the native path.
- PERF_RECORD_CPU_MAP: clamp nr for CPUS and MASK sub-types on
the swap path. Add bounds checks for mask64 which previously
had no nr validation. Skip the event on the native path.
- PERF_RECORD_STAT_CONFIG: clamp nr on the swap path (safe because
each config entry is self-describing via its tag). Skip the
event on the native path.
The swap path (cross-endian, writable MAP_PRIVATE mapping) can
safely clamp by writing back to the event. The native path
(read-only MAP_SHARED mapping) must skip instead of clamping
because writing to the mmap'd event would segfault.
Also fix stat_config swap range: change size += 1 to
size += sizeof(event->stat_config.nr) for clarity. The old +1
happened to work because mem_bswap_64 processes 8-byte chunks,
but the intent is to include the 8-byte nr field in the swap
range.
Changes in v2:
- Document that PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES max_nr includes trailing
sample_id space when sample_id_all is present — harmless on the
swap path because both per-element bswap_64 and swap_sample_id_all()
perform the same u64 byte swap (Reported-by: sashiko-bot@kernel.org)

Harden PERF_RECORD_HEADER_ATTR handling against crafted perf.data:
- Validate attr.size: must be >= PERF_ATTR_SIZE_VER0, a multiple
of sizeof(u64), and fit within the event payload.
- Copy only min(attr.size, sizeof(struct perf_event_attr)) bytes
into a local attr, zeroing the rest so legacy files don't leak
adjacent event data into new fields.
- Keep the original attr.size so perf_event__synthesize_attr()
uses it for both allocation and ID-array placement.
Fix perf_event__synthesize_attr() to use attr->size (not the
compiled sizeof) for event allocation and layout, so perf inject
correctly re-synthesizes attrs from files recorded by a different
perf version. Without this, the ID array destination pointer
(computed via perf_record_header_attr_id()) would be inconsistent
with the allocation when attr->size differs from sizeof.
Also fix the parse-no-sample-id-all test to set attr.size, which
is now validated, and improve error handling in read_attr() for
short reads and invalid attr sizes.
Handle ABI0 pipe/inject events where attr.size is 0: use a local
attr_size variable set to PERF_ATTR_SIZE_VER0 for both the bounded
copy and ID array position, instead of writing back to the event.
Native-endian files may be MAP_SHARED (read-only mmap), so writing
to the event buffer would SIGSEGV. The swap path handles ABI0 in
perf_event__attr_swap() which writes to the MAP_PRIVATE copy.
header.size alignment is now validated centrally in
perf_session__process_event() (see "Add minimum event size and
alignment validation").

on the common event delivery path for MMAP, MMAP2, COMM,
CGROUP, and KSYMBOL events. Events with
unterminated strings are skipped — native-endian files are
mapped read-only, so writing a NUL byte in place would segfault.
Swap handler hardening:
- Use strnlen bounded by event size (instead of strlen) in
COMM/MMAP/MMAP2/CGROUP swap handlers, returning -1 on
unterminated strings.
- Bounds check text_poke old_len+new_len before computing the
sample_id offset, returning -1 on overflow. Use offsetof()
for the native-path check in machines__deliver_event() since
sizeof() includes struct padding past the flexible array.
- Fix PERF_RECORD_SWITCH sample_id_all: non-CPU_WIDE SWITCH
events have sample_id immediately after the 8-byte header,
not at sizeof(struct perf_record_switch) which is the
CPU_WIDE variant size.
- Fix perf_event__time_conv_swap(): decouple time_cycles and
time_mask into independent per-field event_contains() checks,
so each field is only swapped when the event is large enough
to contain it. The original code guarded both fields under
a single time_cycles check, which would swap time_mask on a
short event that contains time_cycles but not time_mask.
- Handle ABI0 (attr.size == 0) in perf_event__attr_swap()
by substituting PERF_ATTR_SIZE_VER0, so bswap_safe()
correctly swaps VER0 fields instead of skipping everything.
- peek_events: on swap failure, advance past the malformed
entry instead of aborting the loop.
Note: the nr-field bounds checks for namespaces, thread_map,
cpu_map, and stat_config arrays are added by a subsequent
patch ("perf session: Validate nr fields against event size
on both swap and common paths"). The HEADER_ATTR attr.size
validation is added by ("perf session: Validate HEADER_ATTR
attr.size before swapping").
By establishing the int-returning swap infrastructure first,
all subsequent hardening patches can use direct error returns
from day one — no poison values, no workarounds for void return.
Changes in v2:
- peek_events: abort instead of skip for AUXTRACE events on
validation failure — skipping only header.size would land
inside the raw trace payload, causing subsequent iterations
to misparse data as events (Reported-by: sashiko-bot@kernel.org)

swap_sample_id_all() calls BUG_ON(size % sizeof(u64)) which kills
perf on any event where the sample_id_all tail is not 8-byte aligned.
A crafted perf.data can trigger this trivially.
Replace BUG_ON with a bounds check: skip the swap if the data pointer
is past the end of the event, and only swap when there are bytes
remaining.
Note: the strlen calls in string-field swap handlers (comm,
mmap, mmap2, cgroup) are replaced with bounded strnlen by the
next patch in this series ("perf session: Add validated swap
infrastructure with null-termination checks").

The kernel dynamically sizes PERF_RECORD_READ based on
attr.read_format: only the fields enabled by PERF_FORMAT_TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED,
PERF_FORMAT_TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING, PERF_FORMAT_ID, and PERF_FORMAT_LOST
are emitted, packed with no gaps.
perf_event__read_swap() unconditionally byte-swapped time_enabled,
time_running, and id at their fixed struct offsets, causing
out-of-bounds access on smaller events and swapping the wrong
bytes when not all format fields are present. It also swapped
sample_id_all at a fixed offset past the full struct, which is
wrong for shorter events.
Replace the individual field swaps with a single mem_bswap_64()
over the entire tail from value onward. Since every field after
pid/tid is u64 regardless of which combination is present, this
correctly handles any read_format combination and any trailing
sample_id_all fields.
Similarly, dump_read() accessed optional fields via fixed struct
offsets, displaying values from wrong positions when not all
format bits are set. Walk the packed u64 array sequentially
instead, with bounds checks against event->header.size.

zstd_decompress_stream() has two bugs in its multi-iteration loop:
1. After each ZSTD_decompressStream() call, the code advances
output.dst by output.pos but doesn't reset output.pos to 0.
ZSTD interprets output.pos relative to output.dst, so the
next iteration writes at (dst + pos) + pos = dst + 2*pos,
skipping a gap and potentially writing out of bounds.
2. On ZSTD_decompressStream() error, the loop executes break
and returns output.pos (which is > 0 if some bytes were
decompressed before the error). The caller checks
!decomp_size and skips the error, silently accepting
truncated or corrupted data.
Fix both by removing the output buffer adjustment — ZSTD
correctly accumulates output.pos across calls without it.
Return 0 on decompression error so the caller detects it.
Add a no-progress guard to prevent infinite loops if the
output buffer fills before all input is consumed.
Note: the compressed event data_size is validated against
header.size by a subsequent patch in this series
("perf tools: Harden compressed event processing").

The error fallback does memcpy(dst, src, src_size) intending to store
uncompressed data when compression fails, but this has three bugs:
1. dst has been advanced past the record header (and potentially
past earlier compressed records), so the copy writes to the
wrong offset in the output buffer.
2. src still points to the start of the input, not to the
remaining uncompressed data at src + input.pos. On a second
or later iteration, previously compressed data would be
duplicated.
3. No check that dst_size >= src_size — if the remaining output
space is smaller, this is an out-of-bounds write.
Replace with return -1 after resetting the ZSTD compression
context via ZSTD_initCStream(). The -1 propagates through
zstd_compress() -> record__pushfn() -> perf_mmap__push() to the
recording loop, which breaks out and terminates recording.
Add an out_child_no_flush label in __cmd_record() so the
mmap-read failure path skips the final record__mmap_read_all()
flush — retrying the same read that just failed would just fail
again, and the flush is only useful when the mmap data is intact
but the control path (auxtrace, switch_output) had an error.
Consolidate all error paths through a single 'reset' label to
ensure the compression context is always reset on failure —
including the output-buffer-full path, where a bare return
without resetting would leave stale stream state that corrupts
output if the caller retries.
Also guard against process_header() writing the event header
before the buffer-full check: add a sizeof(perf_event_header)
pre-check so the callback never writes past the output buffer.
Guard against ZSTD making no progress: if output.pos is zero
after ZSTD_compressStream(), calling process_header(record, 0)
would re-trigger header initialization, double-subtracting the
header size from dst_size and underflowing the unsigned counter.
Also fix two pre-existing issues in the same function:
- Add a dst_size guard before subtracting the record header
size: if the output buffer is nearly full, the unsigned
dst_size -= size underflows to a huge value, causing
ZSTD_compressStream to write past the buffer boundary.
- Check the ZSTD_initCStream() return value and log an error
if the context reset itself fails.

event_contains() checked whether a field's start offset was within
the event (header.size > offsetof), but not whether the full field
fit. A crafted event with header.size = offsetof(field) + 1 would
pass the check, but an 8-byte access (bswap_64, direct read) would
overrun the event boundary by up to 7 bytes.
Fix the macro to verify the complete field:
header.size >= offsetof(field) + sizeof(field)
Also update all callers that check event_contains(time_cycles) but
access later fields (time_mask, cap_user_time_zero,
cap_user_time_short) to check for cap_user_time_short — the last
field accessed — so the entire extended block is verified:
tsc.c, arm-spe.c, cs-etm.c, jitdump.c.
Note: session.c's perf_event__time_conv_swap() also guards on
time_cycles but accesses time_mask — a pre-existing issue not
introduced by this macro change. It is fixed by a later patch
in this series ("perf session: Add validated swap
infrastructure with null-termination checks"), which decouples
time_cycles and time_mask into independent per-field
event_contains() checks. The struct assignment overread
(session->time_conv = event->time_conv copies sizeof on a
potentially shorter event) is separately fixed by "perf
session: Use bounded copy for PERF_RECORD_TIME_CONV".

perf_session__peek_event() computes an event pointer directly from
file_offset when one_mmap is active, without verifying that file_offset
and the subsequent event->header.size fall within the mapped region.
A corrupted perf.data file could cause out-of-bounds memory reads.
Add one_mmap_size to the session struct and validate both the header
and full event fit within the mmap before dereferencing.

Add a per-type minimum size table (perf_event__min_size[]) and
enforce it before swap and processing, so that both cross-endian
and native-endian paths are protected from accessing fields past
the event boundary.
The table uses offsetof() for types with trailing variable-length
fields (filenames, strings, msg arrays) and sizeof() for
fixed-size types. Zero entries mean no minimum beyond the 8-byte
header already enforced by the reader.
Undersized events are skipped with a warning in process_event
and rejected in peek_event — both checked before the swap
handler runs, preventing OOB access on crafted event fields.
Also reject events whose header.size is not 8-byte aligned. The
kernel aligns all event sizes to sizeof(u64) — see
perf_event_comm_event() (ALIGN), perf_event_mmap_event(),
perf_event_cgroup(), perf_event_ksymbol() (IS_ALIGNED loops),
and perf_event_text_poke() (ALIGN) in kernel/events/core.c.
An unaligned size means the file is corrupted or crafted; reject
early so downstream code that divides by sizeof(u64) to compute
array element counts gets exact results.
Three legacy user events are exempted from the alignment check:
TRACING_DATA (66) had a 12-byte struct before commit b39c915a4f36
("libperf event: Ensure tracing data is multiple of 8 sized")
added padding, COMPRESSED (81) carries raw ZSTD output (already
superseded by COMPRESSED2 with PERF_ALIGN), and HEADER_FEATURE
(80) uses do_write_string() with a 4-byte length prefix.
Also guard event_swap() against crafted event types >=
PERF_RECORD_HEADER_MAX to prevent OOB reads on the
perf_event__swap_ops[] array.
Changes in v2:
- Fix double-skip for unsupported event types: return 0 instead
of event->header.size in perf_session__process_event() for
HEADER_MAX, since reader__read_event() already advances by
event->header.size (Reported-by: sashiko-bot@kernel.org)
- Exempt TRACING_DATA, COMPRESSED, and HEADER_FEATURE from the
alignment check — these legacy user events predate the 8-byte
alignment rule (Reported-by: sashiko-bot@kernel.org)
- peek_event: return 0 (skip) for unknown event types instead of
-1 (error), consistent with process_event which already skips
unsupported types gracefully (Reported-by: sashiko-bot@kernel.org)

Extend the total_bw selftest to validate the fair/ext dl_server
auto-attach/detach operations.
After the existing consistency checks, the test now doubles the
fair_server's runtime on every CPU via debugfs and verifies that:
1. total_bw grew after the customization (proves fair_server was
attached and apply_params() honored the dl_bw_attached flag),
2. with the minimal BPF scheduler loaded, total_bw drops back to the
baseline value (proves fair_server was detached and ext_server was
attached at its own default runtime),
3. after unload total_bw matches the doubled value from step 1 (proves
fair_server was re-attached with the runtime customization preserved
across the load/unload cycle).
