The following commit has been merged into the perf/urgent branch of tip: Commit-ID: ebfc8542ad62d066771e46c8aa30f5624b89cad8 Gitweb: https://git.kernel.org/tip/ebfc8542ad62d066771e46c8aa30f5624b89cad8 Author: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter(a)intel.com> AuthorDate: Mon, 13 Oct 2025 10:22:42 +03:00 Committer: Peter Zijlstra <peterz(a)infradead.org> CommitterDate: Tue, 14 Oct 2025 10:38:09 +02:00 perf/core: Fix address filter match with backing files It was reported that Intel PT address filters do not work in Docker containers. That relates to the use of overlayfs. overlayfs records the backing file in struct vm_area_struct vm_file, instead of the user file that the user mmapped. In order for an address filter to match, it must compare to the user file inode. There is an existing helper file_user_inode() for that situation. Use file_user_inode() instead of file_inode() to get the inode for address filter matching. Example: Setup: # cd /root # mkdir test ; cd test ; mkdir lower upper work merged # cp `which cat` lower # mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work merged # perf record --buildid-mmap -e intel_pt//u --filter 'filter * @ /root/test/merged/cat' -- /root/test/merged/cat /proc/self/maps ... 55d61d246000-55d61d2e1000 r-xp 00018000 00:1a 3418 /root/test/merged/cat ...

This issue has gone largely unnoticed, so back-porting before v6.8 is probably not worth it, so put 6.8 as the stable kernel prerequisite version, although in practice the next long term kernel is 6.12.

[PATCH] [PATCH v3] perf/x86/amd: check event before enable to avoid GPF

On AMD machines cpuc->events[idx] can become NULL in a subtle race condition with NMI->throttle->x86_pmu_stop(). Check event for NULL in amd_pmu_enable_all() before enable to avoid a GPF.

[PATCH] drm/ast: Blank with VGACR17 sync enable, always clear VGACRB6 sync off

by Thomas Zimmermann

Blank the display by disabling sync pulses with VGACR17<7>. Unblank by reenabling them. This VGA setting should be supported by all Aspeed hardware. Ast currently blanks via sync-off bits in VGACRB6. Not all BMCs handle VGACRB6 correctly. After disabling sync during a reboot, some BMCs do not reenable it after the soft reset. The display output remains dark. When the display is off during boot, some BMCs set the sync-off bits in VGACRB6, so the display remains dark. Observed with Blackbird AST2500 BMC. Clearing the sync-off bits unconditionally fixes these issues. Also do not modify VGASR1's SD bit for blanking, as it only disables GPU access to video memory.

[PATCH v3] exfat: fix out-of-bounds in exfat_nls_to_ucs2()

by Jeongjun Park

Since the len argument value passed to exfat_ioctl_set_volume_label() from exfat_nls_to_utf16() is passed 1 too large, an out-of-bounds read occurs when dereferencing p_cstring in exfat_nls_to_ucs2() later. And because of the NLS_NAME_OVERLEN macro, another error occurs when creating a file with a period at the end using utf8 and other iocharsets, so the NLS_NAME_OVERLEN macro should be removed and the len argument value should be passed as FSLABEL_MAX - 1.

[Patch v2] mm/huge_memory: add pmd folio to ds_queue in do_huge_zero_wp_pmd()

by Wei Yang

We add pmd folio into ds_queue on the first page fault in __do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page(), so that we can split it in case of memory pressure. This should be the same for a pmd folio during wp page fault. Commit 1ced09e0331f ("mm: allocate THP on hugezeropage wp-fault") miss to add it to ds_queue, which means system may not reclaim enough memory in case of memory pressure even the pmd folio is under used. Move deferred_split_folio() into map_anon_folio_pmd() to make the pmd folio installation consistent.
