Explicitly disallow enabling mitigations at runtime for kernels that were
built with CONFIG_CPU_MITIGATIONS=n, as some architectures may omit code
entirely if mitigations are disabled at compile time.
E.g. on x86, a large pile of Kconfigs are buried behind CPU_MITIGATIONS,
and trying to provide sane behavior for retroactively enabling mitigations
is extremely difficult, bordering on impossible. E.g. page table isolation
and call depth tracking require build-time support, BHI mitigations will
still be off without additional kernel parameters, etc.

Rename x86's to CPU_MITIGATIONS, define it in generic code, and force it
on for all architectures exception x86. A recent commit to turn
mitigations off by default if SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS=n kinda sorta
missed that "cpu_mitigations" is completely generic, whereas
SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS is x86-specific.
Rename x86's SPECULATIVE_MITIGATIONS instead of keeping both and have it
select CPU_MITIGATIONS, as having two configs for the same thing is
unnecessary and confusing. This will also allow x86 to use the knob to
manage mitigations that aren't strictly related to speculative
execution.
Use another Kconfig to communicate to common code that CPU_MITIGATIONS
is already defined instead of having x86's menu depend on the common
CPU_MITIGATIONS. This allows keeping a single point of contact for all
of x86's mitigations, and it's not clear that other architectures *want*
to allow disabling mitigations at compile-time.

Unlike most other mitigations' "auto" options, spectre_bhi=auto only
mitigates newer systems, which is confusing and not particularly useful.

Pull x86 mitigations from Thomas Gleixner:
"Mitigations for the native BHI hardware vulnerabilty:
Branch History Injection (BHI) attacks may allow a malicious
application to influence indirect branch prediction in kernel by
poisoning the branch history. eIBRS isolates indirect branch targets
in ring0. The BHB can still influence the choice of indirect branch
predictor entry, and although branch predictor entries are isolated
between modes when eIBRS is enabled, the BHB itself is not isolated
between modes.
Add mitigations against it either with the help of microcode or with
software sequences for the affected CPUs"
[ This also ends up enabling the full mitigation by default despite the
system call hardening, because apparently there are other indirect
calls that are still sufficiently reachable, and the 'auto' case just
isn't hardened enough.
We'll have some more inevitable tweaking in the future - Linus ]

Branch history clearing software sequences and hardware control
BHI_DIS_S were defined to mitigate Branch History Injection (BHI).
Add cmdline spectre_bhi={on|off|auto} to control BHI mitigation:
auto - Deploy the hardware mitigation BHI_DIS_S, if available.
on - Deploy the hardware mitigation BHI_DIS_S, if available,
otherwise deploy the software sequence at syscall entry and
VMexit.
off - Turn off BHI mitigation.
The default is auto mode which does not deploy the software sequence
mitigation. This is because of the hardening done in the syscall
dispatch path, which is the likely target of BHI.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"S390:
- Changes to FPU handling came in via the main s390 pull request
- Only deliver to the guest the SCLP events that userspace has
requested
- More virtual vs physical address fixes (only a cleanup since
virtual and physical address spaces are currently the same)
- Fix selftests undefined behavior
x86:
- Fix a restriction that the guest can't program a PMU event whose
encoding matches an architectural event that isn't included in the
guest CPUID. The enumeration of an architectural event only says
that if a CPU supports an architectural event, then the event can
be programmed *using the architectural encoding*. The enumeration
does NOT say anything about the encoding when the CPU doesn't
report support the event *in general*. It might support it, and it
might support it using the same encoding that made it into the
architectural PMU spec
- Fix a variety of bugs in KVM's emulation of RDPMC (more details on
individual commits) and add a selftest to verify KVM correctly
emulates RDMPC, counter availability, and a variety of other
PMC-related behaviors that depend on guest CPUID and therefore are
easier to validate with selftests than with custom guests (aka
kvm-unit-tests)
- Zero out PMU state on AMD if the virtual PMU is disabled, it does
not cause any bug but it wastes time in various cases where KVM
would check if a PMC event needs to be synthesized
- Optimize triggering of emulated events, with a nice ~10%
performance improvement in VM-Exit microbenchmarks when a vPMU is
exposed to the guest
- Tighten the check for "PMI in guest" to reduce false positives if
an NMI arrives in the host while KVM is handling an IRQ VM-Exit
- Fix a bug where KVM would report stale/bogus exit qualification
information when exiting to userspace with an internal error exit
code
- Add a VMX flag in /proc/cpuinfo to report 5-level EPT support
- Rework TDP MMU root unload, free, and alloc to run with mmu_lock
held for read, e.g. to avoid serializing vCPUs when userspace
deletes a memslot
- Tear down TDP MMU page tables at 4KiB granularity (used to be
1GiB). KVM doesn't support yielding in the middle of processing a
zap, and 1GiB granularity resulted in multi-millisecond lags that
are quite impolite for CONFIG_PREEMPT kernels
- Allocate write-tracking metadata on-demand to avoid the memory
overhead when a kernel is built with i915 virtualization support
but the workloads use neither shadow paging nor i915 virtualization
- Explicitly initialize a variety of on-stack variables in the
emulator that triggered KMSAN false positives
- Fix the debugregs ABI for 32-bit KVM
- Rework the "force immediate exit" code so that vendor code
ultimately decides how and when to force the exit, which allowed
some optimization for both Intel and AMD
- Fix a long-standing bug where kvm_has_noapic_vcpu could be left
elevated if vCPU creation ultimately failed, causing extra
unnecessary work
- Cleanup the logic for checking if the currently loaded vCPU is
in-kernel
- Harden against underflowing the active mmu_notifier invalidation
count, so that "bad" invalidations (usually due to bugs elsehwere
in the kernel) are detected earlier and are less likely to hang the
kernel
x86 Xen emulation:
- Overlay pages can now be cached based on host virtual address,
instead of guest physical addresses. This removes the need to
reconfigure and invalidate the cache if the guest changes the gpa
but the underlying host virtual address remains the same
- When possible, use a single host TSC value when computing the
deadline for Xen timers in order to improve the accuracy of the
timer emulation
- Inject pending upcall events when the vCPU software-enables its
APIC to fix a bug where an upcall can be lost (and to follow Xen's
behavior)
- Fall back to the slow path instead of warning if "fast" IRQ
delivery of Xen events fails, e.g. if the guest has aliased xAPIC
IDs
RISC-V:
- Support exception and interrupt handling in selftests
- New self test for RISC-V architectural timer (Sstc extension)
- New extension support (Ztso, Zacas)
- Support userspace emulation of random number seed CSRs
ARM:
- Infrastructure for building KVM's trap configuration based on the
architectural features (or lack thereof) advertised in the VM's ID
registers
- Support for mapping vfio-pci BARs as Normal-NC (vaguely similar to
x86's WC) at stage-2, improving the performance of interacting with
assigned devices that can tolerate it
- Conversion of KVM's representation of LPIs to an xarray, utilized
to address serialization some of the serialization on the LPI
injection path
- Support for _architectural_ VHE-only systems, advertised through
the absence of FEAT_E2H0 in the CPU's ID register
- Miscellaneous cleanups, fixes, and spelling corrections to KVM and
selftests
LoongArch:
- Set reserved bits as zero in CPUCFG
- Start SW timer only when vcpu is blocking
- Do not restart SW timer when it is expired
- Remove unnecessary CSR register saving during enter guest
- Misc cleanups and fixes as usual
Generic:
- Clean up Kconfig by removing CONFIG_HAVE_KVM, which was basically
always true on all architectures except MIPS (where Kconfig
determines the available depending on CPU capabilities). It is
replaced either by an architecture-dependent symbol for MIPS, and
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KVM) everywhere else
- Factor common "select" statements in common code instead of
requiring each architecture to specify it
- Remove thoroughly obsolete APIs from the uapi headers
- Move architecture-dependent stuff to uapi/asm/kvm.h
- Always flush the async page fault workqueue when a work item is
being removed, especially during vCPU destruction, to ensure that
there are no workers running in KVM code when all references to
KVM-the-module are gone, i.e. to prevent a very unlikely
use-after-free if kvm.ko is unloaded
- Grab a reference to the VM's mm_struct in the async #PF worker
itself instead of gifting the worker a reference, so that there's
no need to remember to *conditionally* clean up after the worker
Selftests:
- Reduce boilerplate especially when utilize selftest TAP
infrastructure
- Add basic smoke tests for SEV and SEV-ES, along with a pile of
library support for handling private/encrypted/protected memory
- Fix benign bugs where tests neglect to close() guest_memfd files"

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
"implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".
- More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series
"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"
- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
scalability of zswap rb-tree".
- Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.
- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.
- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series
"mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".
- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is
hotplugged as system memory.
- Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
which does that.
- More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series
"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"
- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving
policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion
rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory
environments appearing with CXL.
- Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".
- Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".
- Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
tools to parse and process out selftesting results.
- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the
process has a large number of pte-mapped folios.
- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown
situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice.
- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings"
Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's
series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.
- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page
faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.
- In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction
test", Mark Brown did what the title claims.
- Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and
refactoring".
- Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
zswap kselftests" does as claimed.
- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess
in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing
data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.
- Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides
dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during
certain userfaultfd operations.
- Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
in his series
"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"
- Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability
improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It
realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark.
- Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".
- Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series
"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"
- Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging
of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
memory compaction".
- Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages()
to an iterator".
- Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
"Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".
- Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".
- David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
total_mapcount()", a cleanup.
- Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".
- Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which
are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.
- Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.
- Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
also. S390 is affected.
- Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
"mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".
- Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his
series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM
Selftests".
- Also, of course, many singleton patches to many things. Please see
the individual changelogs for details.

code, with the long-term goal to make it position independent:
- Get rid of early accesses to global objects, either by moving
them to the stack, deferring the access until later, or dropping

Pull x86 RFDS mitigation from Dave Hansen:
"RFDS is a CPU vulnerability that may allow a malicious userspace to
infer stale register values from kernel space. Kernel registers can
have all kinds of secrets in them so the mitigation is basically to
wait until the kernel is about to return to userspace and has user
values in the registers. At that point there is little chance of
kernel secrets ending up in the registers and the microarchitectural
state can be cleared.
This leverages some recent robustness fixes for the existing MDS
vulnerability. Both MDS and RFDS use the VERW instruction for
mitigation"

Linus has resolved the conflicting placement of 'cc_mask' better
than the original commit:

... which was also done by an internal merge resolution:
2e5fc4786b7a Merge branch 'x86/sev' into x86/boot, to resolve conflicts and to pick up dependent tree
But Linus is right in 38b334fc767e, the 'cc_mask' declaration is sufficient
within the #ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CC_PLATFORM block.
So instead of forcing Linus to do the same resolution again, merge in Linus's

- These changes have been exposed to linux-next testing for the
last ~5 months, with no known regressions in this area.

RFDS is a CPU vulnerability that may allow userspace to infer kernel
stale data previously used in floating point registers, vector registers
and integer registers. RFDS only affects certain Intel Atom processors.
Intel released a microcode update that uses VERW instruction to clear
the affected CPU buffers. Unlike MDS, none of the affected cores support
SMT.
Add RFDS bug infrastructure and enable the VERW based mitigation by
default, that clears the affected buffers just before exiting to
userspace. Also add sysfs reporting and cmdline parameter
"reg_file_data_sampling" to control the mitigation.

Currently, there are two entries for CONFIG_GOLDFISH.
In arch/x86/Kconfig:
config GOLDFISH
def_bool y
depends on X86_GOLDFISH
In drivers/platform/goldfish/Kconfig:
menuconfig GOLDFISH
bool "Platform support for Goldfish virtual devices"
depends on HAS_IOMEM && HAS_DMA
While Kconfig allows multiple entries, it generally leads to tricky
code.
Prior to commit bd2f348db503 ("goldfish: refactor goldfish platform
configs"), CONFIG_GOLDFISH was an alias of CONFIG_X86_GOLDFISH.
After the mentioned commit added the second entry with a user prompt,
the former provides the 'default' property that is effective only when
X86_GOLDFISH=y.
Merge them tegether to clarify how it has worked in the past 8 years.

amd_e400_idle(), the idle routine for AMD CPUs which are affected by
erratum 400 violates the RCU constraints by invoking tick_broadcast_enter()
and tick_broadcast_exit() after the core code has marked RCU non-idle. The
functions can end up in lockdep or tracing, which rightfully triggers a
RCU warning.
The core code provides now a static branch conditional invocation of the
broadcast functions.
Remove amd_e400_idle(), enforce default_idle() and enable the static branch
on affected CPUs to cure this.

Patch series "Split crash out from kexec and clean up related config
items", v3.
Motivation:
=============
Previously, LKP reported a building error. When investigating, it can't
be resolved reasonablly with the present messy kdump config items.
https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202312182200.Ka7MzifQ-lkp@intel.com/
The kdump (crash dumping) related config items could causes confusions:
Firstly,
CRASH_CORE enables codes including
- crashkernel reservation;
- elfcorehdr updating;
- vmcoreinfo exporting;
- crash hotplug handling;
Now fadump of powerpc, kcore dynamic debugging and kdump all selects
CRASH_CORE, while fadump
- fadump needs crashkernel parsing, vmcoreinfo exporting, and accessing
global variable 'elfcorehdr_addr';
- kcore only needs vmcoreinfo exporting;
- kdump needs all of the current kernel/crash_core.c.
So only enabling PROC_CORE or FA_DUMP will enable CRASH_CORE, this
mislead people that we enable crash dumping, actual it's not.
Secondly,
It's not reasonable to allow KEXEC_CORE select CRASH_CORE.
Because KEXEC_CORE enables codes which allocate control pages, copy
kexec/kdump segments, and prepare for switching. These codes are
shared by both kexec reboot and kdump. We could want kexec reboot,
but disable kdump. In that case, CRASH_CORE should not be selected.
--------------------
CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y
---------------------
Thirdly,
It's not reasonable to allow CRASH_DUMP select KEXEC_CORE.
That could make KEXEC_CORE, CRASH_DUMP are enabled independently from
KEXEC or KEXEC_FILE. However, w/o KEXEC or KEXEC_FILE, the KEXEC_CORE
code built in doesn't make any sense because no kernel loading or
switching will happen to utilize the KEXEC_CORE code.
---------------------
CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
---------------------
In this case, what is worse, on arch sh and arm, KEXEC relies on MMU,
while CRASH_DUMP can still be enabled when !MMU, then compiling error is
seen as the lkp test robot reported in above link.
------arch/sh/Kconfig------
config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC
def_bool MMU
config ARCH_SUPPORTS_CRASH_DUMP
def_bool BROKEN_ON_SMP
---------------------------
Changes:
===========
1, split out crash_reserve.c from crash_core.c;
2, split out vmcore_infoc. from crash_core.c;
3, move crash related codes in kexec_core.c into crash_core.c;
4, remove dependency of FA_DUMP on CRASH_DUMP;
5, clean up kdump related config items;
6, wrap up crash codes in crash related ifdefs on all 8 arch-es
which support crash dumping, except of ppc;
Achievement:
===========
With above changes, I can rearrange the config item logic as below (the right
item depends on or is selected by the left item):
PROC_KCORE -----------> VMCORE_INFO
|----------> VMCORE_INFO
FA_DUMP----|
|----------> CRASH_RESERVE
---->VMCORE_INFO
/
|---->CRASH_RESERVE
KEXEC --| /|
|--> KEXEC_CORE--> CRASH_DUMP-->/-|---->PROC_VMCORE
KEXEC_FILE --| \ |
\---->CRASH_HOTPLUG
KEXEC --|
|--> KEXEC_CORE (for kexec reboot only)
KEXEC_FILE --|
Test
========
On all 8 architectures, including x86_64, arm64, s390x, sh, arm, mips,
riscv, loongarch, I did below three cases of config item setting and
building all passed. Take configs on x86_64 as exampmle here:
(1) Both CONFIG_KEXEC and KEXEC_FILE is unset, then all kexec/kdump
items are unset automatically:
# Kexec and crash features
# CONFIG_KEXEC is not set
# CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE is not set
# end of Kexec and crash features
(2) set CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE and 'make olddefconfig':
---------------
# Kexec and crash features
CONFIG_CRASH_RESERVE=y
CONFIG_VMCORE_INFO=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
CONFIG_CRASH_HOTPLUG=y
CONFIG_CRASH_MAX_MEMORY_RANGES=8192
# end of Kexec and crash features
---------------
(3) unset CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP in case 2 and execute 'make olddefconfig':
------------------------
# Kexec and crash features
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y
# end of Kexec and crash features
------------------------
Note:
For ppc, it needs investigation to make clear how to split out crash
code in arch folder. Hope Hari and Pingfan can help have a look, see if
it's doable. Now, I make it either have both kexec and crash enabled, or
disable both of them altogether.
This patch (of 14):
Both kdump and fa_dump of ppc rely on crashkernel reservation. Move the
relevant codes into separate files: crash_reserve.c,
include/linux/crash_reserve.h.
And also add config item CRASH_RESERVE to control its enabling of the
codes. And update config items which has relationship with crashkernel
reservation.
And also change ifdeffery from CONFIG_CRASH_CORE to CONFIG_CRASH_RESERVE
when those scopes are only crashkernel reservation related.
And also rename arch/XXX/include/asm/{crash_core.h => crash_reserve.h} on
arm64, x86 and risc-v because those architectures' crash_core.h is only
related to crashkernel reservation.

A relocatable kernel will relocate itself to pref_address if it is
loaded below pref_address. This means a booted kernel may be relocating
itself to an area with reserved memory on modern systems, potentially
clobbering arbitrary data that may be important to the system.
This is often the case, as the default value of PHYSICAL_START is
0x1000000 and kernels are typically loaded at 0x100000 or above by
bootloaders like iPXE or kexec. GRUB behaves like the approach
implemented here.
Also fixes the documentation around pref_address and PHYSICAL_START to
be accurate.

of CPU_SUP_INTEL from the dependencies to allow compilation in kernels

Pull x86 TDX updates from Dave Hansen:
"This contains the initial support for host-side TDX support so that
KVM can run TDX-protected guests. This does not include the actual
KVM-side support which will come from the KVM folks. The TDX host
interactions with kexec also needs to be ironed out before this is
ready for prime time, so this code is currently Kconfig'd off when
kexec is on.
The majority of the code here is the kernel telling the TDX module
which memory to protect and handing some additional memory over to it
to use to store TDX module metadata. That sounds pretty simple, but
the TDX architecture is rather flexible and it takes quite a bit of
back-and-forth to say, "just protect all memory, please."
There is also some code tacked on near the end of the series to handle
a hardware erratum. The erratum can make software bugs such as a
kernel write to TDX-protected memory cause a machine check and
masquerade as a real hardware failure. The erratum handling watches
out for these and tries to provide nicer user errors"

So the CPU mitigations Kconfig entries - there's 10 meanwhile - are named
in a historically idiosyncratic and hence rather inconsistent fashion
and have become hard to relate with each other over the years:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20231011044252.42bplzjsam3qsasz@treble/
When they were introduced we never expected that we'd eventually have
about a dozen of them, and that more organization would be useful,
especially for Linux distributions that want to enable them in an
informed fashion, and want to make sure all mitigations are configured
as expected.
For example, the current CONFIG_SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS namespace is only
halfway populated, where some mitigations have entries in Kconfig, and
they could be modified, while others mitigations do not have Kconfig entries,
and can not be controlled at build time.
Fine-grained control over these Kconfig entries can help in a number of ways:
1) Users can choose and pick only mitigations that are important for
their workloads.
2) Users and developers can choose to disable mitigations that mangle
the assembly code generation, making it hard to read.
3) Separate Kconfigs for just source code readability,
so that we see *which* butt-ugly piece of crap code is for what
reason...
In most cases, if a mitigation is disabled at compilation time, it
can still be enabled at runtime using kernel command line arguments.
This is the first patch of an initial series that renames various
mitigation related Kconfig options, unifying them under a single
CONFIG_MITIGATION_* namespace:
CONFIG_GDS_FORCE_MITIGATION => CONFIG_MITIGATION_GDS_FORCE
CONFIG_CPU_IBPB_ENTRY => CONFIG_MITIGATION_IBPB_ENTRY
CONFIG_CALL_DEPTH_TRACKING => CONFIG_MITIGATION_CALL_DEPTH_TRACKING
CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION => CONFIG_MITIGATION_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION
CONFIG_RETPOLINE => CONFIG_MITIGATION_RETPOLINE
CONFIG_SLS => CONFIG_MITIGATION_SLS
CONFIG_CPU_UNRET_ENTRY => CONFIG_MITIGATION_UNRET_ENTRY
CONFIG_CPU_IBRS_ENTRY => CONFIG_MITIGATION_IBRS_ENTRY
CONFIG_CPU_SRSO => CONFIG_MITIGATION_SRSO
CONFIG_RETHUNK => CONFIG_MITIGATION_RETHUNK
Implement step 1/10 of the namespace unification of CPU mitigations related
Kconfig options and rename CONFIG_GDS_FORCE_MITIGATION to
CONFIG_MITIGATION_GDS_FORCE.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab
Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
- SLUB: delayed freezing of CPU partial slabs (Chengming Zhou)
Freezing is an operation involving double_cmpxchg() that makes a slab
exclusive for a particular CPU. Chengming noticed that we use it also
in situations where we are not yet installing the slab as the CPU
slab, because freezing also indicates that the slab is not on the
shared list. This results in redundant freeze/unfreeze operation and
can be avoided by marking separately the shared list presence by
reusing the PG_workingset flag.
This approach neatly avoids the issues described in 9b1ea29bc0d7
("Revert "mm, slub: consider rest of partial list if acquire_slab()
fails"") as we can now grab a slab from the shared list in a quick
and guaranteed way without the cmpxchg_double() operation that
amplifies the lock contention and can fail.
As a result, lkp has reported 34.2% improvement of
stress-ng.rawudp.ops_per_sec
- SLAB removal and SLUB cleanups (Vlastimil Babka)
The SLAB allocator has been deprecated since 6.5 and nobody has
objected so far. We agreed at LSF/MM to wait until the next LTS,
which is 6.6, so we should be good to go now.
This doesn't yet erase all traces of SLAB outside of mm/ so some dead
code, comments or documentation remain, and will be cleaned up
gradually (some series are already in the works).
Removing the choice of allocators has already allowed to simplify and
optimize the code wiring up the kmalloc APIs to the SLUB
implementation.

Patch series "mm/mglru: Kconfig cleanup", v4.
This series is the result of the following discussion:
https://lore.kernel.org/47066176-bd93-55dd-c2fa-002299d9e034@linux.ibm.com/
It mainly avoids building the code that walks page tables on CPUs that
use it, i.e., those don't support hardware accessed bit. Specifically,
it introduces a new Kconfig to guard some of functions added by
commit bd74fdaea146 ("mm: multi-gen LRU: support page table walks")
on CPUs like POWER9, on which the series was tested.
This patch (of 5):
Some architectures are able to set the accessed bit in PTEs when PTEs
are used as part of linear address translations.
Add CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_HW_PTE_YOUNG for such architectures to be able to
override arch_has_hw_pte_young().
