Pull xen updates from Juergen Gross:
- a small cleanup in the drivers/xen/xenbus Makefile
- a fix of the Xen xenstore driver to improve connecting to a late
started Xenstore
- an enhancement for better support of ballooning in PVH guests
- a cleanup using try_cmpxchg() instead of open coding it
* tag 'for-linus-6.10a-rc1-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip:

xen/xenbus: Use *-y instead of *-objs in Makefile
xen/x86: add extra pages to unpopulated-alloc if available
locking/x86/xen: Use try_cmpxchg() in xen_alloc_p2m_entry()
|

Commit 262fc47ac174 ('xen/balloon: don't use PV mode extra memory for zone
device allocations') removed the addition of the extra memory ranges to the
unpopulated range allocator, using those only for the balloon driver.
This forces the unpopulated allocator to attach hotplug ranges even when spare
memory (as part of the extra memory ranges) is available. Furthermore, on PVH
domains it defeats the purpose of commit 38620fc4e893 ('x86/xen: attempt to
inflate the memory balloon on PVH'), as extra memory ranges would only be
used to map foreign memory if the kernel is built without XEN_UNPOPULATED_ALLOC
support.
Fix this by adding a helpers that adds the extra memory ranges to the list of
unpopulated pages, and zeroes the ranges so they are not also consumed by the
balloon driver.
This should have been part of 38620fc4e893, hence the fixes tag.
Note the current logic relies on unpopulated_init() (and hence
arch_xen_unpopulated_init()) always being called ahead of balloon_init(), so
that the extra memory regions are consumed by arch_xen_unpopulated_init().

Use try_cmpxchg() instead of cmpxchg(*ptr, old, new) == old.
The x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in the ZF flag,
so this change saves a compare after CMPXCHG.
Also, try_cmpxchg() implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old"
when CMPXCHG fails. There is no need to explicitly assign
old *ptr value to the temporary, which can simplify the
surrounding source code.
No functional change intended.

With recent sanity checks for topology information added, there are now
warnings issued for APs when running as a Xen PV guest:
[Firmware Bug]: CPU 1: APIC ID mismatch. CPUID: 0x0000 APIC: 0x0001
This is due to the initial APIC ID obtained via CPUID for PV guests is
always 0.
Avoid the warnings by synthesizing the CPUID data to contain the same
initial APIC ID as xen_pv_smp_config() is using for registering the
APIC IDs of all CPUs.

The topology core expects the boot APIC to be registered from earhy APIC
detection first and then again when the firmware tables are evaluated. This
is used for detecting the real BSP CPU on a kexec kernel.
The recent conversion of XEN/PV to register fake APIC IDs failed to
register the boot CPU APIC correctly as it only registers it once. This
causes the BSP detection mechanism to trigger wrongly:
CPU topo: Boot CPU APIC ID not the first enumerated APIC ID: 0 > 1
Additionally this results in one CPU being ignored.
Register the boot CPU APIC twice so that the XEN/PV fake enumeration
behaves like real firmware.

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.

When running as PVH or HVM Linux will use holes in the memory map as scratch
space to map grants, foreign domain pages and possibly miscellaneous other
stuff. However the usage of such memory map holes for Xen purposes can be
problematic. The request of holesby Xen happen quite early in the kernel boot
process (grant table setup already uses scratch map space), and it's possible
that by then not all devices have reclaimed their MMIO space. It's not
unlikely for chunks of Xen scratch map space to end up using PCI bridge MMIO
window memory, which (as expected) causes quite a lot of issues in the system.
At least for PVH dom0 we have the possibility of using regions marked as
UNUSABLE in the e820 memory map. Either if the region is UNUSABLE in the
native memory map, or it has been converted into UNUSABLE in order to hide RAM
regions from dom0, the second stage translation page-tables can populate those
areas without issues.
PV already has this kind of logic, where the balloon driver is inflated at
boot. Re-use the current logic in order to also inflate it when running as
PVH. onvert UNUSABLE regions up to the ratio specified in EXTRA_MEM_RATIO to
RAM, while reserving them using xen_add_extra_mem() (which is also moved so
it's no longer tied to CONFIG_PV).

various percpu access methods, plus a number of cleanups of %gs
accesses in assembly code.
- These changes have been exposed to linux-next testing for the
last ~5 months, with no known regressions in this area.

Pull x86 FRED support from Thomas Gleixner:
"Support for x86 Fast Return and Event Delivery (FRED).
FRED is a replacement for IDT event delivery on x86 and addresses most
of the technical nightmares which IDT exposes:
1) Exception cause registers like CR2 need to be manually preserved
in nested exception scenarios.
2) Hardware interrupt stack switching is suboptimal for nested
exceptions as the interrupt stack mechanism rewinds the stack on
each entry which requires a massive effort in the low level entry
of #NMI code to handle this.
3) No hardware distinction between entry from kernel or from user
which makes establishing kernel context more complex than it needs
to be especially for unconditionally nestable exceptions like NMI.
4) NMI nesting caused by IRET unconditionally reenabling NMIs, which
is a problem when the perf NMI takes a fault when collecting a
stack trace.
5) Partial restore of ESP when returning to a 16-bit segment
6) Limitation of the vector space which can cause vector exhaustion
on large systems.
7) Inability to differentiate NMI sources
FRED addresses these shortcomings by:
1) An extended exception stack frame which the CPU uses to save
exception cause registers. This ensures that the meta information
for each exception is preserved on stack and avoids the extra
complexity of preserving it in software.
2) Hardware interrupt stack switching is non-rewinding if a nested
exception uses the currently interrupt stack.
3) The entry points for kernel and user context are separate and GS
BASE handling which is required to establish kernel context for
per CPU variable access is done in hardware.
4) NMIs are now nesting protected. They are only reenabled on the
return from NMI.
5) FRED guarantees full restore of ESP
6) FRED does not put a limitation on the vector space by design
because it uses a central entry points for kernel and user space
and the CPUstores the entry type (exception, trap, interrupt,
syscall) on the entry stack along with the vector number. The
entry code has to demultiplex this information, but this removes
the vector space restriction.
The first hardware implementations will still have the current
restricted vector space because lifting this limitation requires
further changes to the local APIC.
7) FRED stores the vector number and meta information on stack which
allows having more than one NMI vector in future hardware when the
required local APIC changes are in place.
The series implements the initial FRED support by:
- Reworking the existing entry and IDT handling infrastructure to
accomodate for the alternative entry mechanism.
- Expanding the stack frame to accomodate for the extra 16 bytes FRED
requires to store context and meta information
- Providing FRED specific C entry points for events which have
information pushed to the extended stack frame, e.g. #PF and #DB.
- Providing FRED specific C entry points for #NMI and #MCE
- Implementing the FRED specific ASM entry points and the C code to
demultiplex the events
- Providing detection and initialization mechanisms and the necessary
tweaks in context switching, GS BASE handling etc.
The FRED integration aims for maximum code reuse vs the existing IDT
implementation to the extent possible and the deviation in hot paths
like context switching are handled with alternatives to minimalize the
impact. The low level entry and exit paths are seperate due to the
extended stack frame and the hardware based GS BASE swichting and
therefore have no impact on IDT based systems.
It has been extensively tested on existing systems and on the FRED
simulation and as of now there are no outstanding problems"

As TOP_OF_KERNEL_STACK_PADDING was defined as 0 on x86_64, it went
unnoticed that the initialization of the .sp field in INIT_THREAD and some
calculations in the low level startup code do not take the padding into
account.
FRED enabled kernels require a 16 byte padding, which means that the init
task initialization and the low level startup code use the wrong stack
offset.
Subtract TOP_OF_KERNEL_STACK_PADDING in all affected places to adjust for
this.

Now that all possible APIC IDs are tracked in the topology bitmaps, its
trivial to retrieve the real information from there.
This gets rid of the guesstimates for the maximal packages and dies per
package as the actual numbers can be determined before a single AP has been
brought up.
The number of SMT threads can now be determined correctly from the bitmaps
in all situations. Up to now a system which has SMT disabled in the BIOS
will still claim that it is SMT capable, because the lowest APIC ID bit is
reserved for that and CPUID leaf 0xb/0x1f still enumerates the SMT domain
accordingly. By calculating the bitmap weights of the SMT and the CORE
domain and setting them into relation the SMT disabled in BIOS situation
reports correctly that the system is not SMT capable.
It also handles the situation correctly when a hybrid systems boot CPU does
not have SMT as it takes the SMT capability of the APs fully into account.

It turns out that XEN/PV Dom0 has halfways usable CPUID/MADT enumeration
except that it cannot deal with CPUs which are enumerated as disabled in
MADT.
DomU has no MADT and provides at least rudimentary topology information in
CPUID leaves 1 and 4.
For both it's important that there are not more possible Linux CPUs than
vCPUs provided by the hypervisor.
As this is ensured by counting the vCPUs before enumeration happens:
- lift the restrictions in the CPUID evaluation and the MADT parser
- Utilize MADT registration for Dom0
- Keep the fake APIC ID registration for DomU
- Fix the XEN APIC fake so the readout of the local APIC ID works for
Dom0 via the hypercall and for DomU by returning the registered
fake APIC IDs.
With that the XEN/PV fake approximates usefulness.

XEN/PV has a completely broken vCPU enumeration scheme, which just works by
chance and provides zero topology information. Each vCPU ends up being a
single core package.
Dom0 provides MADT which can be used for topology information, but that
table is the unmodified host table, which means that there can be more CPUs
registered than the number of vCPUs XEN provides for the dom0 guest.
DomU does not have ACPI and both rely on counting the possible vCPUs via an
hypercall.
To prepare for using CPUID topology information either via MADT or via fake
APIC IDs count the number of possible CPUs during early boot and adjust
nr_cpu_ids() accordingly.

Enforce the dependency with a whitelist of CPU configurations. In normal

There is no real reason to have a separate ASM entry point implementation
for the legacy INT 0x80 syscall emulation on 64-bit.
IDTENTRY provides all the functionality needed with the only difference
that it does not:
- save the syscall number (AX) into pt_regs::orig_ax
- set pt_regs::ax to -ENOSYS
Both can be done safely in the C code of an IDTENTRY before invoking any of
the syscall related functions which depend on this convention.
Aside of ASM code reduction this prepares for detecting and handling a
local APIC injected vector 0x80.

Today the percpu struct vcpu_info is allocated via DEFINE_PER_CPU(),
meaning that it could cross a page boundary. In this case registering
it with the hypervisor will fail, resulting in a panic().
This can easily be fixed by using DEFINE_PER_CPU_ALIGNED() instead,
as struct vcpu_info is guaranteed to have a size of 64 bytes, matching
the cache line size of x86 64-bit processors (Xen doesn't support
32-bit processors).

Pull x86 core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Limit the hardcoded topology quirk for Hygon CPUs to those which have
a model ID less than 4.
The newer models have the topology CPUID leaf 0xB correctly
implemented and are not affected.
- Make SMT control more robust against enumeration failures
SMT control was added to allow controlling SMT at boottime or
runtime. The primary purpose was to provide a simple mechanism to
disable SMT in the light of speculation attack vectors.
It turned out that the code is sensible to enumeration failures and
worked only by chance for XEN/PV. XEN/PV has no real APIC enumeration
which means the primary thread mask is not set up correctly. By
chance a XEN/PV boot ends up with smp_num_siblings == 2, which makes
the hotplug control stay at its default value "enabled". So the mask
is never evaluated.
The ongoing rework of the topology evaluation caused XEN/PV to end up
with smp_num_siblings == 1, which sets the SMT control to "not
supported" and the empty primary thread mask causes the hotplug core
to deny the bringup of the APS.
Make the decision logic more robust and take 'not supported' and 'not
implemented' into account for the decision whether a CPU should be
booted or not.
- Fake primary thread mask for XEN/PV
Pretend that all XEN/PV vCPUs are primary threads, which makes the
usage of the primary thread mask valid on XEN/PV. That is consistent
with because all of the topology information on XEN/PV is fake or
even non-existent.
- Encapsulate topology information in cpuinfo_x86
Move the randomly scattered topology data into a separate data
structure for readability and as a preparatory step for the topology
evaluation overhaul.
- Consolidate APIC ID data type to u32
It's fixed width hardware data and not randomly u16, int, unsigned
long or whatever developers decided to use.
- Cure the abuse of cpuinfo for persisting logical IDs.
Per CPU cpuinfo is used to persist the logical package and die IDs.
That's really not the right place simply because cpuinfo is subject
to be reinitialized when a CPU goes through an offline/online cycle.
Use separate per CPU data for the persisting to enable the further
topology management rework. It will be removed once the new topology
management is in place.
- Provide a debug interface for inspecting topology information
Useful in general and extremly helpful for validating the topology
management rework in terms of correctness or "bug" compatibility.

The PER_CPU_VAR() macro should be applied to a symbol and its addend.
Inconsistent usage is currently harmless, but needs to be corrected
before %rip-relative addressing is introduced to the PER_CPU_VAR() macro.
No functional changes intended.

APIC IDs are used with random data types u16, u32, int, unsigned int,
unsigned long.
Make it all consistently use u32 because that reflects the hardware
register width.
