sched_ext: Use WRITE_ONCE() for the write side of scx_enable helper pointer

2026-03-19T15:15:33Z

commit 2fcfe5951eb2e8440fc5e1dd6ea977336ff83a1d upstream. scx_enable() uses double-checked locking to lazily initialize a static kthread_worker pointer. The fast path reads helper locklessly: if (!READ_ONCE(helper)) { // lockless read -- no helper_mutex The write side initializes helper under helper_mutex, but previously used a plain assignment: helper = kthread_run_worker(0, "scx_enable_helper"); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ plain write -- KCSAN data race with READ_ONCE() above Since READ_ONCE() on the fast path and the plain write on the initialization path access the same variable without a common lock, they constitute a data race. KCSAN requires that all sides of a lock-free access use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() consistently. Use a temporary variable to stage the result of kthread_run_worker(), and only WRITE_ONCE() into helper after confirming the pointer is valid. This avoids a window where a concurrent caller on the fast path could observe an ERR pointer via READ_ONCE(helper) before the error check completes.

sched_ext: Fix enqueue_task_scx() truncation of upper enqueue flags

2026-03-19T15:15:26Z

commit 57ccf5ccdc56954f2a91a7f66684fd31c566bde5 upstream. enqueue_task_scx() takes int enq_flags from the sched_class interface. SCX enqueue flags starting at bit 32 (SCX_ENQ_PREEMPT and above) are silently truncated when passed through activate_task(). extra_enq_flags was added as a workaround - storing high bits in rq->scx.extra_enq_flags and OR-ing them back in enqueue_task_scx(). However, the OR target is still the int parameter, so the high bits are lost anyway. The current impact is limited as the only affected flag is SCX_ENQ_PREEMPT which is informational to the BPF scheduler - its loss means the scheduler doesn't know about preemption but doesn't cause incorrect behavior. Fix by renaming the int parameter to core_enq_flags and introducing a u64 enq_flags local that merges both sources. All downstream functions already take u64 enq_flags.

tracing: Fix trace_buf_size= cmdline parameter with sizes >= 2G

2026-03-19T15:15:24Z

commit d008ba8be8984760e36d7dcd4adbd5a41a645708 upstream. Some of the sizing logic through tracer_alloc_buffers() uses int internally, causing unexpected behavior if the user passes a value that does not fit in an int (on my x86 machine, the result is uselessly tiny buffers). Fix by plumbing the parameter's real type (unsigned long) through to the ring buffer allocation functions, which already use unsigned long. It has always been possible to create larger ring buffers via the sysfs interface: this only affects the cmdline parameter.

tracing: Fix enabling multiple events on the kernel command line and bootconfig

2026-03-19T15:15:24Z

commit 3b1679e086bb869ca02722f6bd29b3573a6a0e7e upstream. Multiple events can be enabled on the kernel command line via a comma separator. But if the are specified one at a time, then only the last event is enabled. This is because the event names are saved in a temporary buffer, and each call by the init cmdline code will reset that buffer. This also affects names in the boot config file, as it may call the callback multiple times with an example of: kernel.trace_event = ":mod:rproc_qcom_common", ":mod:qrtr", ":mod:qcom_aoss" Change the cmdline callback function to append a comma and the next value if the temporary buffer already has content.

fgraph: Fix thresh_return nosleeptime double-adjust

2026-03-19T15:15:18Z

commit b96d0c59cdbb2a22b2545f6f3d5c6276b05761dd upstream. trace_graph_thresh_return() called handle_nosleeptime() and then delegated to trace_graph_return(), which calls handle_nosleeptime() again. When sleep-time accounting is disabled this double-adjusts calltime and can produce bogus durations (including underflow). Fix this by computing rettime once, applying handle_nosleeptime() only once, using the adjusted calltime for threshold comparison, and writing the return event directly via __trace_graph_return() when the threshold is met.

tracing: Fix syscall events activation by ensuring refcount hits zero

2026-03-19T15:15:18Z

commit 0a663b764dbdf135a126284f454c9f01f95a87d4 upstream. When multiple syscall events are specified in the kernel command line (e.g., trace_event=syscalls:sys_enter_openat,syscalls:sys_enter_close), they are often not captured after boot, even though they appear enabled in the tracing/set_event file. The issue stems from how syscall events are initialized. Syscall tracepoints require the global reference count (sys_tracepoint_refcount) to transition from 0 to 1 to trigger the registration of the syscall work (TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT) for tasks, including the init process (pid 1). The current implementation of early_enable_events() with disable_first=true used an interleaved sequence of "Disable A -> Enable A -> Disable B -> Enable B". If multiple syscalls are enabled, the refcount never drops to zero, preventing the 0->1 transition that triggers actual registration. Fix this by splitting early_enable_events() into two distinct phases: 1. Disable all events specified in the buffer. 2. Enable all events specified in the buffer. This ensures the refcount hits zero before re-enabling, allowing syscall events to be properly activated during early boot. The code is also refactored to use a helper function to avoid logic duplication between the disable and enable phases.

fgraph: Fix thresh_return clear per-task notrace

2026-03-19T15:15:18Z

commit 6ca8379b5d36e22b04e6315c3e49a6083377c862 upstream. When tracing_thresh is enabled, function graph tracing uses trace_graph_thresh_return() as the return handler. Unlike trace_graph_return(), it did not clear the per-task TRACE_GRAPH_NOTRACE flag set by the entry handler for set_graph_notrace addresses. This could leave the task permanently in "notrace" state and effectively disable function graph tracing for that task. Mirror trace_graph_return()'s per-task notrace handling by clearing TRACE_GRAPH_NOTRACE and returning early when set.
