landlock: Test trace path output boundaries

2026-09-08T09:49:39Z

Use focused KUnit tests to exercise the renderer's internal boundary and composition contracts with synthetic scratch states, including both sibling-helper evaluation orders. Check the exact output and reservation boundaries, including a four-byte octal escape accepted at exact capacity and rejected one byte short. Also verify an unchanged cursor on failure, that bracketed process names and embedded NUL bytes remain data, and that input ellipsis bytes are escaped rather than mistaken for the raw truncation marker. The composition test requires generic trace output helpers. Enable CONFIG_FTRACE and CONFIG_SCHED_TRACER because the latter selects the otherwise-hidden CONFIG_TRACING support required by trace_print_flags_seq(). Use kselftests to exercise the complete tracefs path for both affected filesystem events. A valid path containing 2640 spaces exceeds the scratch output budget. Require its escaped prefix to end in the raw UTF-8 ellipsis while access_rights and blockers remain intact. This division keeps the exact safety contract compiler-independent while proving that real tracepoints preserve their surrounding symbolic fields. The end-to-end assertions fail after a full fix revert with both GCC and Clang, while the composition KUnit test fails if the scratch reserve is removed.

selftests/landlock: Test abstract socket trace name limits

2026-09-07T10:38:01Z

The landlock_deny_scope_abstract_unix_socket event captures binary socket names with __string_len(), whose dynamic field reserves an extra byte for the NUL terminator. The printer subtracts this byte before escaping the content. Exercise the minimum accepted address length, which has no name content, and the maximum sockaddr_un length, which has 107 content bytes. Check the exact trace output at both boundaries. The existing stream and datagram variants share this event, so the boundary variants only need the stream path. Because these boundary names are fixed, run the fixture in a private network namespace. Abstract UNIX socket names are scoped by network namespace, preventing concurrent bind() calls from colliding. The lower-bound test confirms that the subtraction recovers zero instead of underflowing.

selftests/bpf: Test pointer bpf_loop iteration count rejection

2026-09-06T03:50:13Z

Add a verifier test that leaves the raw tracepoint context pointer in R1 when calling bpf_loop(). This is the smallest trigger for the incorrect precision backtracking: it reuses an existing callback and needs no maps or userspace setup. Expect an ordinary scalar-type rejection. Without the verifier fix, the test instead reaches precision backtracking and reports an internal "backtracking misuse" error.

bpf: mark a NULL call argument precise

2026-09-05T01:17:29Z

check_func_arg() allows bpf_register_is_null() for nullable arguments w/o marking the underlying scalar register precise. Hence a checkpoint created on such a path would prune against arbitrary scalar value. check_helper_call() enforces second parameter of the bpf_get_local_storage() to be zero, w/o marking the underlying scalar register precise. Hence a checkpoint created on such a path would prune against arbitrary scalar value. Grouping these two into one patch, as they share the same fixes tag.
