git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 TDX updates from Dave Hansen: "Avoid direct HLT instruction execution in TDX guests. TDX guests aren't expected to use the HLT instruction directly. It causes a virtualization exception (#VE). While the #VE _can_ be handled, the current handling is slow and buggy and the easiest thing is just to avoid HLT in the first place. Plus, the kernel already has paravirt infrastructure that makes it relatively painless. Make TDX guests require paravirt and add some TDX-specific paravirt handlers which avoid HLT in the normal halt routines. Also add a warning in case another HLT sneaks in. There was a report that this leads to a "major performance improvement" on specjbb2015, probably because of the extra #VE overhead or missed wakeups from the buggy HLT handling" * tag 'x86_tdx_for_6.15-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/tdx: Emit warning if IRQs are enabled during HLT #VE handling x86/tdx: Fix arch_safe_halt() execution for TDX VMs x86/paravirt: Move halt paravirt calls under CONFIG_PARAVIRT

This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were reported. In all cases the calling code was found to be incorrect. - The series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code. - The series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now succeed. - The series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated for half a year and nobody has complained. - The series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime effects are anticipated. - The series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the madvise() implementation.

2025-03-31x86: don't re-generate cpufeaturemasks.h so eagerlyLinus Torvalds
It turns out the code to generate the x86 cpufeaturemasks.h header was way too aggressive, and would re-generate it whenever the timestamp on the kernel config file changed. Now, the regular 'make *config' tools are fairly careful to not rewrite the kernel config file unless the contents change, but other usecases aren't that careful. Michael Kelley reports that 'make-kpkg' ends up doing "make syncconfig" multiple times in prepping to build, and will modify the config file in the process (and then modify it back, but by then the timestamps have changed). Jakub Kicinski reports that the netdev CI does something similar in how it generates the config file in multiple steps. In both cases, the config file timestamp updates then cause the cpufeaturemasks.h file to be regenerated, and that in turn then causes lots of unnecessary rebuilds due to all the normal dependencies. Fix it by using our 'filechk' infrastructure in the Makefile to generate the header file. That will only write a new version of the file if the contents of the file have actually changed.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next Pull bpf relisient spinlock support from Alexei Starovoitov: "This patch set introduces Resilient Queued Spin Lock (or rqspinlock with res_spin_lock() and res_spin_unlock() APIs). This is a qspinlock variant which recovers the kernel from a stalled state when the lock acquisition path cannot make forward progress. This can occur when a lock acquisition attempt enters a deadlock situation (e.g. AA, or ABBA), or more generally, when the owner of the lock (which we’re trying to acquire) isn’t making forward progress. Deadlock detection is the main mechanism used to provide instant recovery, with the timeout mechanism acting as a final line of defense. Detection is triggered immediately when beginning the waiting loop of a lock slow path. Additionally, BPF programs attached to different parts of the kernel can introduce new control flow into the kernel, which increases the likelihood of deadlocks in code not written to handle reentrancy. There have been multiple syzbot reports surfacing deadlocks in internal kernel code due to the diverse ways in which BPF programs can be attached to different parts of the kernel. By switching the BPF subsystem’s lock usage to rqspinlock, all of these issues are mitigated at runtime. This spin lock implementation allows BPF maps to become safer and remove mechanisms that have fallen short in assuring safety when nesting programs in arbitrary ways in the same context or across different contexts. We run benchmarks that stress locking scalability and perform comparison against the baseline (qspinlock). For the rqspinlock case, we replace the default qspinlock with it in the kernel, such that all spin locks in the kernel use the rqspinlock slow path. As such, benchmarks that stress kernel spin locks end up exercising rqspinlock.

2025-03-26x86/tdx: Emit warning if IRQs are enabled during HLT #VE handlingVishal Annapurve
Direct HLT instruction execution causes #VEs for TDX VMs which is routed to hypervisor via TDCALL. safe_halt() routines execute HLT in STI-shadow so IRQs need to remain disabled until the TDCALL to ensure that pending IRQs are correctly treated as wake events. Emit warning and fail emulation if IRQs are enabled during HLT #VE handling to avoid running into scenarios where IRQ wake events are lost resulting in indefinite HLT execution times.

2025-03-26x86/tdx: Fix arch_safe_halt() execution for TDX VMsVishal Annapurve
Direct HLT instruction execution causes #VEs for TDX VMs which is routed to hypervisor via TDCALL. If HLT is executed in STI-shadow, resulting #VE handler will enable interrupts before TDCALL is routed to hypervisor leading to missed wakeup events, as current TDX spec doesn't expose interruptibility state information to allow #VE handler to selectively enable interrupts. Commit bfe6ed0c6727 ("x86/tdx: Add HLT support for TDX guests") prevented the idle routines from executing HLT instruction in STI-shadow. But it missed the paravirt routine which can be reached via this path as an example: kvm_wait() => safe_halt() => raw_safe_halt() => arch_safe_halt() => irq.safe_halt() => pv_native_safe_halt() To reliably handle arch_safe_halt() for TDX VMs, introduce explicit dependency on CONFIG_PARAVIRT and override paravirt halt()/safe_halt() routines with TDX-safe versions that execute direct TDCALL and needed interrupt flag updates. Executing direct TDCALL brings in additional benefit of avoiding HLT related #VEs altogether. As tested by Ryan Afranji: "Tested with the specjbb2015 benchmark. It has heavy lock contention which leads to many halt calls. TDX VMs suffered a poor score before this patchset. Verified the major performance improvement with this patchset applied."

2025-03-26x86/paravirt: Move halt paravirt calls under CONFIG_PARAVIRTKirill A. Shutemov
CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL is mainly defined/used by XEN PV guests. For other VM guest types, features supported under CONFIG_PARAVIRT are self sufficient. CONFIG_PARAVIRT mainly provides support for TLB flush operations and time related operations. For TDX guest as well, paravirt calls under CONFIG_PARVIRT meets most of its requirement except the need of HLT and SAFE_HLT paravirt calls, which is currently defined under CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL. Since enabling CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL is too bloated for TDX guest like platforms, move HLT and SAFE_HLT paravirt calls under CONFIG_PARAVIRT. Moving HLT and SAFE_HLT paravirt calls are not fatal and should not break any functionality for current users of CONFIG_PARAVIRT.

2025-03-25x86/mm/pat: Fix VM_PAT handling when fork() fails in copy_page_range()David Hildenbrand
If track_pfn_copy() fails, we already added the dst VMA to the maple tree. As fork() fails, we'll cleanup the maple tree, and stumble over the dst VMA for which we neither performed any reservation nor copied any page tables. Consequently untrack_pfn() will see VM_PAT and try obtaining the PAT information from the page table -- which fails because the page table was not copied. The easiest fix would be to simply clear the VM_PAT flag of the dst VMA if track_pfn_copy() fails. However, the whole thing is about "simply" clearing the VM_PAT flag is shaky as well: if we passed track_pfn_copy() and performed a reservation, but copying the page tables fails, we'll simply clear the VM_PAT flag, not properly undoing the reservation ... which is also wrong. So let's fix it properly: set the VM_PAT flag only if the reservation succeeded (leaving it clear initially), and undo the reservation if anything goes wrong while copying the page tables: clearing the VM_PAT flag after undoing the reservation. Note that any copied page table entries will get zapped when the VMA will get removed later, after copy_page_range() succeeded; as VM_PAT is not set then, we won't try cleaning VM_PAT up once more and untrack_pfn() will be happy. Note that leaving these page tables in place without a reservation is not a problem, as we are aborting fork(); this process will never run. A reproducer can trigger this usually at the first try: https://gitlab.com/davidhildenbrand/scratchspace/-/raw/main/reproducers/pat_fork.c WARNING: CPU: 26 PID: 11650 at arch/x86/mm/pat/memtype.c:983 get_pat_info+0xf6/0x110 Modules linked in: ...

Not taking mmu_lock allows multiple aging actions to run in parallel, and more importantly avoids stalling vCPUs. This includes an implementation of per-rmap-entry locking; aging the gfn is done with only a per-rmap single-bin spinlock taken, whereas locking an rmap for write requires taking both the per-rmap spinlock and the mmu_lock. Note that this decreases slightly the accuracy of accessed-page information, because changes to the SPTE outside aging might not use atomic operations even if they could race against a clear of the Accessed bit. This is deliberate because KVM and mm/ tolerate false positives/negatives for accessed information, and testing has shown that reducing the latency of aging is far more beneficial to overall system performance than providing "perfect" young/old information. - Defer runtime CPUID updates until KVM emulates a CPUID instruction, to coalesce updates when multiple pieces of vCPU state are changing, e.g. as part of a nested transition - Fix a variety of nested emulation bugs, and add VMX support for synthesizing nested VM-Exit on interception (instead of injecting #UD into L2) - Drop "support" for async page faults for protected guests that do not set SEND_ALWAYS (i.e. that only want async page faults at CPL3) - Bring a bit of sanity to x86's VM teardown code, which has accumulated a lot of cruft over the years. Particularly, destroy vCPUs before the MMU, despite the latter being a VM-wide operation - Add common secure TSC infrastructure for use within SNP and in the future TDX - Block KVM_CAP_SYNC_REGS if guest state is protected. It does not make sense to use the capability if the relevant registers are not available for reading or writing - Don't take kvm->lock when iterating over vCPUs in the suspend notifier to fix a largely theoretical deadlock - Use the vCPU's actual Xen PV clock information when starting the Xen timer, as the cached state in arch.hv_clock can be stale/bogus - Fix a bug where KVM could bleed PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED across different PV clocks; restrict PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED to kvmclock, as KVM's suspend notifier only accounts for kvmclock, and there's no evidence that the flag is actually supported by Xen guests - Clean up the per-vCPU "cache" of its reference pvclock, and instead only track the vCPU's TSC scaling (multipler+shift) metadata (which is moderately expensive to compute, and rarely changes for modern setups) - Don't write to the Xen hypercall page on MSR writes that are initiated by the host (userspace or KVM) to fix a class of bugs where KVM can write to guest memory at unexpected times, e.g. during vCPU creation if userspace has set the Xen hypercall MSR index to collide with an MSR that KVM emulates - Restrict the Xen hypercall MSR index to the unofficial synthetic range to reduce the set of possible collisions with MSRs that are emulated by KVM (collisions can still happen as KVM emulates Hyper-V MSRs, which also reside in the synthetic range) - Clean up and optimize KVM's handling of Xen MSR writes and xen_hvm_config - Update Xen TSC leaves during CPUID emulation instead of modifying the CPUID entries when updating PV clocks; there is no guarantee PV clocks will be updated between TSC frequency changes and CPUID emulation, and guest reads of the TSC leaves should be rare, i.e. are not a hot path x86 (Intel): - Fix a bug where KVM unnecessarily reads XFD_ERR from hardware and thus modifies the vCPU's XFD_ERR on a #NM due to CR0.TS=1 - Pass XFD_ERR as the payload when injecting #NM, as a preparatory step for upcoming FRED virtualization support - Decouple the EPT entry RWX protection bit macros from the EPT Violation bits, both as a general cleanup and in anticipation of adding support for emulating Mode-Based Execution Control (MBEC) - Reject KVM_RUN if userspace manages to gain control and stuff invalid guest state while KVM is in the middle of emulating nested VM-Enter - Add a macro to handle KVM's sanity checks on entry/exit VMCS control pairs in anticipation of adding sanity checks for secondary exit controls (the primary field is out of bits) x86 (AMD): - Ensure the PSP driver is initialized when both the PSP and KVM modules are built-in (the initcall framework doesn't handle dependencies) - Use long-term pins when registering encrypted memory regions, so that the pages are migrated out of MIGRATE_CMA/ZONE_MOVABLE and don't lead to excessive fragmentation - Add macros and helpers for setting GHCB return/error codes - Add support for Idle HLT interception, which elides interception if the vCPU has a pending, unmasked virtual IRQ when HLT is executed - Fix a bug in INVPCID emulation where KVM fails to check for a non-canonical address - Don't attempt VMRUN for SEV-ES+ guests if the vCPU's VMSA is invalid, e.g. because the vCPU was "destroyed" via SNP's AP Creation hypercall - Reject SNP AP Creation if the requested SEV features for the vCPU don't match the VM's configured set of features Selftests: - Fix again the Intel PMU counters test; add a data load and do CLFLUSH{OPT} on the data instead of executing code.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull VDSO infrastructure updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Consolidate the VDSO storage The VDSO data storage and data layout has been largely architecture specific for historical reasons. That increases the maintenance effort and causes inconsistencies over and over. There is no real technical reason for architecture specific layouts and implementations. The architecture specific details can easily be integrated into a generic layout, which also reduces the amount of duplicated code for managing the mappings. Convert all architectures over to a unified layout and common mapping infrastructure. This splits the VDSO data layout into subsystem specific blocks, timekeeping, random and architecture parts, which provides a better structure and allows to improve and update the functionalities without conflict and interaction. - Rework the timekeeping data storage The current implementation is designed for exposing system timekeeping accessors, which was good enough at the time when it was designed. PTP and Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) change that as there are requirements to expose independent PTP clocks, which are not related to system timekeeping. Replace the monolithic data storage by a structured layout, which allows to add support for independent PTP clocks on top while reusing both the data structures and the time accessor implementations. * tag 'timers-vdso-2025-03-23' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (55 commits) sparc/vdso: Always reject undefined references during linking x86/vdso: Always reject undefined references during linking vdso: Rework struct vdso_time_data and introduce struct vdso_clock vdso: Move architecture related data before basetime data powerpc/vdso: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock arm64/vdso: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock x86/vdso: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock time/namespace: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/namespace: Rename timens_setup_vdso_data() to reflect new vdso_clock struct vdso/vsyscall: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare helper functions for introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare do_coarse_timens() for introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare do_coarse() for introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare do_hres_timens() for introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare do_hres() for introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/helpers: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/datapage: Define vdso_clock to prepare for multiple PTP clocks vdso: Make vdso_time_data cacheline aligned arm64: Make asm/cache.h compatible with vDSO ...

The hart index identifies a hart (core) within a specific interrupt domain in RISC-V's Priviledged Architecture. - Rework of the RISC-V MSI driver This moves the driver over to the generic MSI library and solves the affinity problem of unmaskable PCI/MSI controllers. Unmaskable PCI/MSI controllers are prone to lose interrupts when the MSI message is updated to change the affinity because the message write consists of three 32-bit subsequent writes, which update address and data. As these writes are non-atomic versus the device raising an interrupt, the device can observe a half written update and issue an interrupt on the wrong vector. This is mitiated by a carefully orchestrated step by step update and the observation of an eventually pending interrupt on the CPU which issues the update. The algorithm follows the well established method of the X86 MSI driver. - A new driver for the RISC-V Sophgo SG2042 MSI controller - Overhaul of the Renesas RZQ2L driver Simplification of the probe function by using devm_*() mechanisms, which avoid the endless list of error prone gotos in the failure paths. - Expand the Renesas RZV2H driver to support RZ/G3E SoCs - A workaround for Rockchip 3568002 erratum in the GIC-V3 driver to ensure that the addressing is limited to the lower 32-bit of the physical address space. - Add support for the Allwinner AS23 NMI controller - Expand the IMX irqsteer driver to handle up to 960 input interrupts - The usual small updates, cleanups and device tree changes * tag 'irq-drivers-2025-03-23' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (40 commits) irqchip/imx-irqsteer: Support up to 960 input interrupts irqchip/sunxi-nmi: Support Allwinner A523 NMI controller dt-bindings: irq: sun7i-nmi: Document the Allwinner A523 NMI controller irqchip/davinci-cp-intc: Remove public header irqchip/renesas-rzv2h: Add RZ/G3E support irqchip/renesas-rzv2h: Update macros ICU_TSSR_TSSEL_{MASK,PREP} irqchip/renesas-rzv2h: Update TSSR_TIEN macro irqchip/renesas-rzv2h: Add field_width to struct rzv2h_hw_info irqchip/renesas-rzv2h: Add max_tssel to struct rzv2h_hw_info irqchip/renesas-rzv2h: Add struct rzv2h_hw_info with t_offs variable irqchip/renesas-rzv2h: Use devm_pm_runtime_enable() irqchip/renesas-rzv2h: Use devm_reset_control_get_exclusive_deasserted() irqchip/renesas-rzv2h: Simplify rzv2h_icu_init() irqchip/renesas-rzv2h: Drop irqchip from struct rzv2h_icu_priv irqchip/renesas-rzv2h: Fix wrong variable usage in rzv2h_tint_set_type() dt-bindings: interrupt-controller: renesas,rzv2h-icu: Document RZ/G3E SoC riscv: sophgo: dts: Add msi controller for SG2042 irqchip: Add the Sophgo SG2042 MSI interrupt controller dt-bindings: interrupt-controller: Add Sophgo SG2042 MSI arm64: dts: rockchip: rk356x: Move PCIe MSI to use GIC ITS instead of MBI ...
2025-03-25x86/split_lock: Simplify reenablingMaksim Davydov
When split_lock_mitigate is disabled, each CPU needs its own delayed_work structure. They are used to reenable split lock detection after its disabling. But delayed_work structure must be correctly initialized after its allocation. Current implementation uses deferred initialization that makes the split lock handler code unclear. The code can be simplified a bit if the initialization is moved to the appropriate initcall. sld_setup() is called before setup_per_cpu_areas(), thus it can't be used for this purpose, so introduce an independent initcall for the initialization.

2025-03-25objtool: Fix X86_FEATURE_SMAP alternative handlingJosh Poimboeuf
For X86_FEATURE_SMAP alternatives which replace NOP with STAC or CLAC, uaccess validation skips the NOP branch to avoid following impossible code paths, e.g. where a STAC would be patched but a CLAC wouldn't. However, it's not safe to assume an X86_FEATURE_SMAP alternative is patching STAC/CLAC. There can be other alternatives, like static_cpu_has(), where both branches need to be validated. Fix that by repurposing ANNOTATE_IGNORE_ALTERNATIVE for skipping either original instructions or new ones. This is a more generic approach which enables the removal of the feature checking hacks and the insn->ignore bit.

2025-03-25x86/early_printk: Add support for MMIO-based UARTsDenis Mukhin
During the bring-up of an x86 board, the kernel was crashing before reaching the platform's console driver because of a bug in the firmware, leaving no trace of the boot progress. The only available method to debug the kernel boot process was via the platform's MMIO-based UART, as the board lacked an I/O port-based UART, PCI UART, or functional video output. Then it turned out that earlyprintk= does not have a knob to configure the MMIO-mapped UART. Extend the early printk facility to support platform MMIO-based UARTs on x86 systems, enabling debugging during the system bring-up phase. The command line syntax to enable platform MMIO-based UART is: earlyprintk=mmio,membase[,{nocfg|baudrate}][,keep] Note, the change does not integrate MMIO-based UART support to: arch/x86/boot/early_serial_console.c Also, update kernel parameters documentation with the new syntax and add the missing 'nocfg' setting to the PCI serial cards description.

2025-03-25x86/dumpstack: Fix inaccurate unwinding from exception stacks due to ↵Jann Horn
misplaced assignment Commit: 2e4be0d011f2 ("x86/show_trace_log_lvl: Ensure stack pointer is aligned, again") was intended to ensure alignment of the stack pointer; but it also moved the initialization of the "stack" variable down into the loop header. This was likely intended as a no-op cleanup, since the commit message does not mention it; however, this caused a behavioral change because the value of "regs" is different between the two places. Originally, get_stack_pointer() used the regs provided by the caller; after that commit, get_stack_pointer() instead uses the regs at the top of the stack frame the unwinder is looking at. Often, there are no such regs at all, and "regs" is NULL, causing get_stack_pointer() to fall back to the task's current stack pointer, which is not what we want here, but probably happens to mostly work. Other times, the original regs will point to another regs frame - in that case, the linear guess unwind logic in show_trace_log_lvl() will start unwinding too far up the stack, causing the first frame found by the proper unwinder to never be visited, resulting in a stack trace consisting purely of guess lines. Fix it by moving the "stack = " assignment back where it belongs.

2025-03-25x86/entry: Fix ORC unwinder for PUSH_REGS with save_ret=1Jann Horn
PUSH_REGS with save_ret=1 is used by interrupt entry helper functions that initially start with a UNWIND_HINT_FUNC ORC state. However, save_ret=1 means that we clobber the helper function's return address (and then later restore the return address further down on the stack); after that point, the only thing on the stack we can unwind through is the IRET frame, so use UNWIND_HINT_IRET_REGS until we have a full pt_regs frame. ( An alternate approach would be to move the pt_regs->di overwrite down such that it is the final step of pt_regs setup; but I don't want to rearrange entry code just to make unwinding a tiny bit more elegant. ) Fixes: 9e809d15d6b6 ("x86/entry: Reduce the code footprint of the 'idtentry' macro") Signed-off-by: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> Cc: Juergen Gross <jgross@suse.com> Cc: H.

2025-03-24x86 boot build: make git ignore stale 'tools' directoryLinus Torvalds
We've had this before: when we remove infrastructure to generate files, the old stale build artifacts still remain in-tree. And when the infrastructure to generate them is gone, so is the gitignore file for those build artifacts. End result: git will see the old generated files, and people will mistakenly commit them. That's what happened with the 'genheaders' file not that long ago (see commit 04a3389b3535 "Remove stale generated 'genheaders' file"). This time it's commit 9c54baab4401 ("x86/boot: Drop CRC-32 checksum and the build tool that generates it") that removed the 'build' file from the arch/x86/boot/tools/ subdirectory, and removed the .gitignore file too (because the whole subdirectory is gone). And as a result, if you don't do a 'git clean -dqfx' or similar to clean up your tree, 'git status' will say Untracked files: (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed) arch/x86/boot/tools/ and some hapless sleep-deprived developer will inevitably decide that that means that they need to 'git add' that directory. Which would bring back some stale generated file that we most definitely do not want in the tree. So when removing directories that had special .gitignore patterns, make sure to add a new gitignore entry in the parent directory for the no longer existing subdirectory. It will avoid mistakes.
