Eduard Zingerman says: ==================== This patch set fixes a bug in copy_verifier_state() where the loop_entry field was not copied. This omission led to incorrect loop_entry fields remaining in env->cur_state, causing incorrect decisions about loop entry assignments in update_loop_entry(). An example of an unsafe program accepted by the verifier due to this bug can be found in patch #2. This bug can also cause an infinite loop in the verifier, see patch #5. Structure of the patch set: - Patch #1 fixes the bug but has a significant negative impact on verification performance for sched_ext programs. - Patch #3 mitigates the verification performance impact of patch #1 by avoiding clean_live_states() for states whose loop_entry is still being verified. This reduces the number of processed instructions for sched_ext programs by 28–92% in some cases. - Patches #5-6 simplify {get,update}_loop_entry() logic (and are not strictly necessary). - Patches #7–10 mitigate the memory overhead introduced by patch #1 when a program with iterator-based loop hits the 1M instruction limit. This is achieved by freeing states in env->free_list when their branches and used_as_loop_entry counts reach zero. Patches #1-4 were previously sent as a part of [1].

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
