CVE-2026-90211

EUVD-2026-81804
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf, s390: Clear fetch destination on faulting arena atomic

Same missing register clear as on riscv64. A RMW atomic on an arena pointer
is converted to BPF_PROBE_ATOMIC and gets an exception table entry, but
bpf_jit_probe_atomic_pre() only fills in the arena base and the probe
offset, leaving probe->reg at the -1 that bpf_jit_probe_init() set, which
bpf_jit_probe_post() writes into the entry and ex_handler_bpf() then reads
back as "there is nothing to clear".

That is right for a plain BPF_{ADD,AND,OR,XOR}, which only writes memory,
but an RMW carrying BPF_FETCH also reads the old value into a register:
src_reg for BPF_{ADD,AND,OR,XOR} | BPF_FETCH and BPF_XCHG, and r0 for
BPF_CMPXCHG. So on a fault over an unmapped arena page the program resumes
at the landing pad with whatever that register held before the atomic
instead of the 0 that every other BPF_PROBE_* access delivers.

Fill probe->reg in from bpf_atomic_load_reg(). Unlike x86-64 and arm64,
s390x does not report arena violations from its exception handler, so there
is no access direction to correct here, only the missing register clear.
