2026-05-21selftests: net: Fix checksums in xdp_nativeNimrod Oren
Data adjustment cases failed with "Data exchange failed" when using IPv4 because the program did not update the IP and UDP checksums in the IPv4 branch. The issue was masked when both IPv4 and IPv6 were configured, since the test harness prefers IPv6. While here, generalize csum_fold_helper() to fold twice so it works for any 32-bit input.

2026-05-21selftests: rds: config: disable modulesMatthieu Baerts (NGI0)
The run.sh script explicitly checks that CONFIG_MODULES is disabled. By default, this config option is enabled. Explicitly disable it to be able to run the RDS tests. Note that writing '# CONFIG_(...) is not set' is usually recommended to disable an option in the .config, but it looks like selftests usually set 'CONFIG_(...)=n', which looks clearer.

2026-05-21lkdtm/powerpc: add PPC_RADIX_TLBIEL test for radix MCE validationSayali Patil
Add a new LKDTM trigger (PPC_RADIX_TLBIEL) that executes a process-scoped radix TLBIEL instruction to exercise the radix MMU behaviour and associated machine check exception (MCE) handling paths. This provides a way to validate MCE handling in radix mode. Currently, there is no dedicated LKDTM test that exercises this path or allows triggering radix-specific machine check behaviour for validation. The test is only enabled on ppc64 systems with radix MMU support and If radix is not active, the trigger is skipped and reported as XFAIL.

2026-05-21selftests: openat2: migrate to kselftest harnessAleksa Sarai
These tests were written in the early days of selftests' TAP support, the more modern kselftest harness is much easier to follow and maintain. The actual contents of the tests are unchanged by this change. Most of the diff involves switching from the E_* syscall wrappers we previously used to ASSERT_EQ(fn(...), 0) in tests and helper functions. The first pass of the migration was done using Claude, followed by a manual rework and review.

2026-05-20sched_ext: Track bits[] storage size in struct scx_cmaskTejun Heo
scx_cmask carries @base and @nr_cids but not the bits[] allocation size, so helpers reshaping the active range have no way to check it fits and later kfuncs taking caller-provided storage can't validate it. Add @alloc_words (u64 word count) annotated with __counted_by, and split the bit-range API into three helpers: - SCX_CMASK_DEFINE() / __SCX_CMASK_DEFINE() define an on-stack cmask, the latter taking an explicit capacity for oversized storage. SCX_CMASK_DEFINE_SHARD() is a thin wrapper that always reserves SCX_CID_SHARD_MAX_CPUS bits of storage. - scx_cmask_init() / __scx_cmask_init() initialize a cmask, with the same tight-vs-explicit split. - scx_cmask_reframe() reshapes the active range without resizing storage. The BPF mirror (cmask_init / __cmask_init / cmask_reframe) gets the same shape. Add scx_cmask_clear() and scx_cmask_fill() to zero and set the active-range bits respectively. scx_cpumask_to_cmask() uses scx_cmask_clear(); scx_cmask_init() would otherwise re-write @alloc_words on every call. A later patch uses @alloc_words in scx_cmask_ref_shard() to refuse output storage that can't hold the requested shard. v2: Init per-CPU scx_set_cmask_scratch (was zero-init, emitted empty cmasks). Add nr_cids/alloc_cids check in BPF __cmask_init(). (sashiko AI) Widen SCX_CMASK_NR_WORDS()/CMASK_NR_WORDS() to compute in u64 so that @nr_cids near U32_MAX no longer wraps to a small value and bypasses the bounds check in cmask_reframe().

2026-05-20selftests: rds: Register network teardown via atexitAllison Henderson
This patch adds a teardown_tcp() helper that removes net0/net1. The cmd calls here use fail=False so they can be called from completed or partially-setup states on error. Also call teardown_tcp() at the top of setup_tcp() so a previous interrupted run does not leave net0/net1 lingering and break a subsequent ip netns add. Register teardown_tcp() with atexit before setup_tcp() is invoked. Likewise, we can simpliy stop_pcaps() handling by registering it with atexit instead of calling it from the signal handler. atexit handlers run on any exit path - normal completion, raised exception, and sys.exit() from the timeout signal handler. This guarantees cleanup are called without further wrapping the test body in a try/finally blocks. atexit LIFO ordering keeps stop_pcaps before teardown_tcp so tcpdumps are killed cleanly before their namespaces go away. This is a preparatory cleanup for the upcoming ROCE patch which will also register a teardown_rdma() alongside teardown_tcp() Signed-off-by: Allison Henderson <achender@kernel.org> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260518012443.2629206-10-achender@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
2026-05-20selftests: rds: Handle errors in netns_socketAllison Henderson
Sockets created by child processes in netns_socket may raise exceptions that are currently not handled by the parent. If for example a namespace didn't exist or the rds module didn't load. Because these exceptions occur with in a child thread, the child thread exits, but the parent does not check the return status. Further, allowing the child processes to quietly raise exceptions will cause problems later if the parent registers clean up functions with atexit. Since the child processes inherit the parents handlers, they may prematurely call the parents cleanup routines without the parent being aware. Fix this by all catching exceptions raised by the child processes. Child errors surface as a non-zero exit status, which are then properly raised in the parent process.

In Makefile.perf, ALL_PROGRAMS includes SCRIPTS (perf-archive, perf-iostat). However, unlike PROGRAMS and DLFILTERS, SCRIPTS was not prefixed with $(OUTPUT). During out-of-tree builds (or when O= is specified), Make checked for the unprefixed target 'tools/perf/perf-archive'. Since the actual script was installed into $(OUTPUT)perf-archive, Make concluded the target was missing and continuously re-executed the script installation rule on every single incremental build.

2026-05-20perf build: Convert llvm-config shell queries to simply expanded variablesIan Rogers
In Makefile.config, CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, LIBLLVM, and EXTLIBS were assigned using recursive expansion or appended with raw $(shell $(LLVM_CONFIG) ...) calls.

2026-05-20perf pmu-events: Convert recursive shell assignments and macros to Make ↵Ian Rogers
built-ins In pmu-events/Build, ZENS, ARMS, and INTELS were assigned using recursive assignment (=), and model_name/vendor_name were evaluated using shell macros (echo ... | sed ...). Because these variables were expanded inside the COPY_RULE dependency evaluation loop across hundreds of PMU JSON files and inside every metric generation recipe, Kbuild continuously re-executed 'ls', 'grep', and 'sed' shell forks thousands of times during AST parsing and execution. Convert ZENS, ARMS, and INTELS to simply expanded variables (:=) and replace model_name/vendor_name with pure GNU Make string functions. This guarantees Make executes directory probing shell forks exactly once when the Build file is parsed and evaluates path macros purely in memory, completely eliminating over 7,800 redundant sub-processes during build startup.

2026-05-20perf pmu-events: Split big_c_string storage into standalone compilation unitIan Rogers
Currently, jevents.py emits both the massive 2.8 MB big_c_string literal and tens of thousands of compact_pmu_event struct arrays into a single pmu-events.c compilation unit. Compiling this giant file takes ~2.2 seconds on a single CPU core during Kbuild startup. Refactor jevents.py to emit big_c_string into a dedicated pmu-events-string.c compilation unit. This allows Kbuild to compile pmu-events.o and pmu-events-string.o simultaneously in parallel across two separate CPU cores, preserving 100% string deduplication and zero dynamic ELF relocations while cutting C compilation latency in half. Add pmu-events-string.c to tools/perf/.gitignore to ensure in-tree Kbuild runs do not leave untracked generated files in the working directory. To guarantee 100% backward compatibility with GNU Make 4.0+ (avoiding the Make 4.3+ grouped target &: syntax which causes older Make versions like 4.2.1 to spawn multiple concurrent jevents.py processes during parallel builds), implement a robust dependency chaining pattern: $(PMU_EVENTS_C): $(JEVENTS_DEPS) $(PMU_EVENTS_STRING_C): $(PMU_EVENTS_C) @: This ensures jevents.py is invoked exactly once. If jevents.py aborts early, Make's .DELETE_ON_ERROR: purges pmu-events.c, guaranteeing that subsequent Make invocations correctly re-execute the script and overwrite pmu-events-string.c. In jevents.py, explicitly close output_file first and output_string_file second at the tail of main() to guarantee that pmu-events-string.c receives a filesystem timestamp greater than or equal to pmu-events.c, completely avoiding redundant incremental rebuilds.

2026-05-20perf build: Remove redundant libbpf feature check for static buildsIan Rogers
By default, the perf tool compiles and statically links against its own internal copy of libbpf (tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.a), setting LIBBPF_STATIC=1. Despite this static linkage, Makefile.config unconditionally executed $(call feature_check,libbpf), which forced a synchronous sub-make fork during AST parsing to detect dynamic system libbpf libraries. As noted in the internal Makefile comments, this check was executed purely so that running `make VF=1` would display the detection status of system libbpf. During standard builds without LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1, the detection result was entirely ignored. Wrap the libbpf feature check inside LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1 so Make avoids the redundant sub-make fork overhead during standard static builds.

2026-05-20perf build: Pre-generate BPF skeleton tooling during umbrella prepare phaseIan Rogers
Currently, BPF skeleton generation rules (bpf_skel.mak) are evaluated as part of util/Build. However, because LIBPERF_UTIL_IN explicitly depends on the top-level static libbpf archive, Make completely blocked the execution of bpftool bootstrap and skeleton generation until libbpf finished compiling midway through the build. Since bpftool bootstrap compiles its own independent copy of libbpf.a, it does not depend on the top-level libbpf target. Decouple early skeleton tooling generation by attaching bpf-skel-prepare to the umbrella prepare target, exporting CONFIG_PERF_BPF_SKEL to ensure accurate feature propagation. This allows Make to compile bpftool and dump vmlinux.h in the background at build startup, eliminating the initial sub-make startup bottleneck before BPF object compilation while keeping 100% of tooling rules perfectly encapsulated in bpf_skel.mak. Provide an empty fallback target to ensure builds succeed when BPF skeletons are disabled.

2026-05-20perf build: Move BPF skeleton generation out of Makefile.perfIan Rogers
Currently, the top-level Makefile.perf defines a massive global bpf-skel umbrella target that pre-compiles all 12+ BPF skeletons (%.skel.h) upfront before launching sub-makes. This forces unrelated sub-makes to serialize behind bpftool and clang BPF target evaluations, causing parallel build bottlenecks. Furthermore, bench_uprobe.bpf.c lived inside util/bpf_skel/, breaking conceptual directory encapsulation since it is consumed purely by bench/uprobe.c. Refactor the BPF skeletons to better achieve directory isolation: 1. Move tools/perf/util/bpf_skel/bench_uprobe.bpf.c directly into tools/perf/bench/bpf_skel/. 2. Extract the skeleton generation infrastructure out of Makefile.perf into a shared inclusion file tools/perf/bpf_skel.mak. 3. Include bpf_skel.mak locally inside tools/perf/util/Build and tools/perf/bench/Build and bind precise local prerequisites. 4. Safely synchronize the shared bpftool bootstrap and vmlinux.h targets via the conditional prepare: umbrella to avoid parallel sub-make races, while evaluating the actual skeletons completely locally on demand. A later patch will move these targets into bpf_skel.mak. 5. Export CLANG from the global Makefile to ensure accurate tool propagation. 6. Clean up Makefile.perf by stripping the global bpf-skel umbrella target and its SKELETONS list. While removing code from Makefile.perf generally helps build performance, the impact here is minimal. The main motivation for the change is to better encapsulate things in the build and simplify Makefile.perf that has around 50 lines removed.

2026-05-20perf build: Decouple pmu-events from prepare umbrella targetIan Rogers
Currently, the $(LIBPMU_EVENTS_IN) sub-make depends on the massive "prepare" umbrella target. Because "prepare" depends on external libraries (libapi, libperf, etc.) as well as dozens of generated headers, make completely serializes the launch of the pmu-events sub-make behind some of those unrelated prerequisites. Since pmu-events is a large compilation unit, unblock its startup by binding it directly to only $(LIBPERF) instead of prepare. This allows background python generation scripts to overlap simultaneously with the rest of the build. Testing a parallel build (make -j28 clean all) shows improvements: Before: real 0m27.642s user 2m32.356s sys 0m26.683s After: real 0m22.254s user 2m32.810s sys 0m24.646s This reclaims over 5 full seconds of build latency (~19.5% overall reduction) by elevating average CPU concurrency from ~5.5 active cores up to ~8 active cores.

2026-05-20perf trace beauty: Make beauty generated C code standalone .o filesIan Rogers
Previously, builtin-trace.c directly included 15 embedded C files (e.g. trace/beauty/mmap.c and fsconfig_arrays.c), which in turn depend on dozens of generated beauty script arrays. To satisfy these embedded inclusions, the global Makefile.perf would define all the generator variables/rules and include them in the prepare umbrella target, choking parallel build startup. Furthermore, tools/perf/util/syscalltbl.c included its own generated mapper, and util/env.c conditionally included arch_errno_names.c inline, splitting consumers across directories and preventing clean Make encapsulation. Refactor the framework to achieve better encapsulation: 1. Move util/syscalltbl.[ch] into trace/beauty/ to co-locate with all generated code consumers. 2. Create fsconfig.c and flatten embedded beauty .c files to compile as independent standalone objects via trace/beauty/Build, exporting their formatting functions via beauty.h and env.h. Switch arch_errno_names.o and syscalltbl.o assignments directly to perf-util-y and add an unconditional top-level recursive kbuild hook (perf-util-y += trace/beauty/) to compile them into libperf-util.a, resolving remote linkage for util/env.c, util/bpf-trace-summary.c, and standalone python extensions. 3. Bridge private opaque references (struct trace) securely via accessors trace__show_zeros() and trace__host(), avoiding header entanglements. 4. Consolidate all generator variables, script paths, and array generation rules entirely out of Makefile.perf and place them directly inside the exact local Build files where their output objects are compiled (trace/beauty/Build and trace/beauty/tracepoints/Build), binding prerequisites locally. Use directly inside generator recipes to guarantee dynamic directory creation before script redirection, and append across all rules to print clean, standardized GEN ... file.c output during compilation. 5. Clean up clean target to recursively remove the generated directory instead of relying on dozens of individual variables. This unchokes the "prepare" target parallel barrier, allows make to evaluate generation scripts purely locally where consumed, and flattens the tracepoint formatting architecture. Testing a parallel build (make -j28 all from scratch) shows improvements: Before: real 0m28.689s user 2m38.490s sys 0m30.148s After: real 0m27.642s user 2m32.356s sys 0m26.683s So reclaiming ~9.6 seconds of raw CPU time and over 1 full second off overall real-world build latency, by overlapping sub-make startup and avoiding top-level double-parsing overhead.

2026-05-20perf sched stats: Fix SIGCHLD vs pause() race in schedstat_record()Swapnil Sapkal
If the profiled workload exits very quickly, SIGCHLD can be delivered and consumed by the empty signal handler before the process enters pause(), causing an indefinite hang. Fix this with a simpler approach: - The signal handler now sets a 'volatile sig_atomic_t done' flag. Reset 'done' before registering signal handlers so that an early signal during setup is not discarded by a later reset. - Replace pause() with a loop that checks 'done' and uses waitpid(WNOHANG) to detect child exit without blocking. This handles both workload mode (child exits) and system-wide mode (user sends SIGINT/SIGTERM). Using WNOHANG avoids the SA_RESTART problem where a blocking waitpid() would auto-restart and ignore the done flag if the child doesn't exit on signal.
