CVE-2026-92517

What the bug is

emit_atomic_ld_st() returns 1 to have build_body() skip the zext after a sub-word load_acquire. The caller does "ret = ret ?: add_exception_handler(...)", which skips add_exception_handler() on any non-zero ret, so the extable entry is missing and a faulting PROBE_ATOMIC load_acquire oopses. REG_DONT_CLEAR_MARKER leaves rd stale on fault, and the verifier still thinks the load overwrote it, so a program can leak it through a map. Check ret >= 0 before calling add_exception_handler(), and pass rd for LOAD_ACQ so the fault zeroes rd like a PROBE_MEM load. Return ret unchanged for the zext skip.

Where it lives

The fix touches these files. If the subsystem is one you do not use, the practical exposure is lower, though the package is still the vulnerable one.

Check it on the machine

grep -wE 'CONFIG_ARCH_RV64I|CONFIG_BPF_JIT' /boot/config-$(uname -r)

Reads the booted kernel's own configuration, on the machine and nowhere else. =y is built in, =m is a module, and an is not set line means the code is not there.

all on means the file is compiled; any one off means it is not.

From the configuration Debian publishes for every kernel flavour it builds. It covers only the architectures Debian ships a linux-config package for, and nothing about a kernel you built yourself.
