Linux 5.18 changes.

Also see: LWN's merge window part 1, part 2

1. Prominent features

1.1. User events

Linux already has a method that allows tracing user space processes with the kernel tracing tools (uprobes). This release adds a new ABI that allow processes to create and write to trace events that are isolated from kernel trace level events. This enables a faster path for tracing from user mode data as well as opens managed code to participate in trace events, where stub locations are dynamic.

Processes often want to trace only when it's useful. A process can register an event describing the format of the event to the kernel. The kernel will create the event. The process will then receive a byte in a page mapping from a mapped tracefs file that it can check against. A privileged task can enable that event, which will change the mapped byte to true. The process can then start writing the event to the tracing buffer.

• Memory management folio patches (get_user_pages, vmscan, start on the page cache, make readahead use large folios) commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit

  • Allow cgroup progs to export custom retval to userspace commit, commit, commit, commit

  • Adds new link type BPF_TRACE_KPROBE_MULTI that attaches kprobe program through fprobe API. The fprobe API allows to attach probe on multiple functions at once very fast, because it works on top of ftrace.

  • Make BPF_JIT_DEFAULT_ON selectable in Kconfig commit

  • Light skeleton for the kernel that performs program loading and map creation tasks without libbpf commit, commit, commit, commit, commit

  • Batching iter for AF_UNIX sockets commit, commit, commit, commit, commit

  • Add __user tagging support in vmlinux BTF commit, commit, commit, commit, commit

  • Support custom SEC() handlers commit, commit, commit

  • Mark bpf_objectopen_buffer() API deprecated commit

  • Deprecate legacy BPF map definitions commit

• tracing

  • (FEATURED) New user_events interface. User space can register an event with the kernel describing the format of the event. Then it will receive a byte in a page mapping that it can check against. A privileged task can then enable that event like any other event, which will change the mapped byte to true, telling the user space application to start writing the event to the tracing buffer commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit

  • Add new ftrace_boot_snapshot kernel command line parameter. When set, the tracing buffer will be saved in the snapshot buffer at boot up when the kernel hands things over to user space. This will keep the traces that happened at boot up available even if user space boot up has tracing as well commit

  • Allow custom events to be added to the tracefs directory commit

7. Virtualization

• RSS support for VirtioNet commit, commit, commit, commit

• vmgenid: notify RNG of VM fork and supply generation ID commit

• KVM: mmu: Zap only obsolete roots on "reload" commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit

• vdpa: add two ioctl commands to support generic vDPA commit, commit

• hv: balloon: Support status report for larger page sizes commit

8. Cryptography

• Introduce a new Linux kernel keyring containing the TPM's Machine Owner Keys (MOK) called machine. In the mok side, the MokListTrustedRT UEFI variable can be set, from which kernel knows that MOK keys are kernel trusted keys and they are populated to the machine keyring. This keyring linked to the secondary trusted keyring, which means that can be used like any kernel trusted keys. This keyring of course can be used to hold other MOK'ish keys in other platforms in future. See instructions here. commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit

• HMAC: disallow keys < 112 bits in FIPS mode commit, commit

• dh: infrastructure for NVM in-band auth and FIPS conformance commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit

• KEYS: encrypted: Instantiate key with user-provided decrypted data commit

• KEYS: remove support for asym_tpm keys commit

9. Security

• Random: Changes to the RNG's crypto, the intent for 5.18 has been to shore up the existing design as much as possible with modern cryptographic functions and proven constructions, rather than actually changing up anything fundamental to the RNG's design. So it's still the same old RNG at its core as before: it still counts entropy bits, and collects from the various sources with the same heuristics as before, and so forth. However, the cryptographic algorithms that transform that entropic data into safe random numbers have been modernized

  • Use SipHash as interrupt entropy accumulator commit

  • Use RDSEED when we can rather than using RDRAND, and make sure RDRAND/RDSEED input always goes through the mixer rather than being xor'd into our state directly, in part in order to prevent ridiculous hypothetical cpu backdoors commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit

  • Use computational hash for entropy extraction commit, commit, commit, commit, commit

  • Treat bootloader trust toggle the same way as cpu trust toggle commit

  • Give sysctl_random_min_urandom_seed a more sensible value commit

• overflow: Implement size_t saturating arithmetic helpers commit

• usercopy: Disable CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY_PAGESPAN (will be replaced) commit

10. Networking

  • Use BPF timeout setting for SYN ACK RTO commit

  • autocork: take MSG_EOR hint into consideration commit
