Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM:
- Nested virtualization support for VGICv3, giving the nested
hypervisor control of the VGIC hardware when running an L2 VM
- Removal of 'late' nested virtualization feature register masking,
making the supported feature set directly visible to userspace
- Support for emulating FEAT_PMUv3 on Apple silicon, taking advantage
of an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED trap that covers all PMUv3 registers
- Paravirtual interface for discovering the set of CPU
implementations where a VM may run, addressing a longstanding issue
of guest CPU errata awareness in big-little systems and
cross-implementation VM migration
- Userspace control of the registers responsible for identifying a
particular CPU implementation (MIDR_EL1, REVIDR_EL1, AIDR_EL1),
allowing VMs to be migrated cross-implementation
- pKVM updates, including support for tracking stage-2 page table
allocations in the protected hypervisor in the 'SecPageTable' stat
- Fixes to vPMU, ensuring that userspace updates to the vPMU after
KVM_RUN are reflected into the backing perf events
LoongArch:
- Remove unnecessary header include path
- Assume constant PGD during VM context switch
- Add perf events support for guest VM
RISC-V:
- Disable the kernel perf counter during configure
- KVM selftests improvements for PMU
- Fix warning at the time of KVM module removal
x86:
- Add support for aging of SPTEs without holding mmu_lock.
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. The theory is
that modern Intel CPUs have learned new code prefetching tricks
that bypass the PMU counters
- Fix a flaw in the Intel PMU counters test where it asserts that an
event is counting correctly without actually knowing what the event
counts on the underlying hardware
- Fix a variety of flaws, bugs, and false failures/passes
dirty_log_test, and improve its coverage by collecting all dirty
entries on each iteration
- Fix a few minor bugs related to handling of stats FDs
- Add infrastructure to make vCPU and VM stats FDs available to tests
by default (open the FDs during VM/vCPU creation)
- Relax an assertion on the number of HLT exits in the xAPIC IPI test
when running on a CPU that supports AMD's Idle HLT (which elides
interception of HLT if a virtual IRQ is pending and unmasked)"

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.

Pull timer cleanups from Thomas Gleixner:
"A treewide hrtimer timer cleanup
hrtimers are initialized with hrtimer_init() and a subsequent store to
the callback pointer. This turned out to be suboptimal for the
upcoming Rust integration and is obviously a silly implementation to
begin with.
This cleanup replaces the hrtimer_init(T); T->function = cb; sequence
with hrtimer_setup(T, cb);
The conversion was done with Coccinelle and a few manual fixups.
Once the conversion has completely landed in mainline, hrtimer_init()
will be removed and the hrtimer::function becomes a private member"

Pull irq driver updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Support for hard indices on RISC-V. 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.

init_intel_cacheinfo() was overly complex. It parsed leaf 0x4 data,
leaf 0x2 data, and performed post-processing, all within one function.
Parent commit moved leaf 0x2 parsing and the post-processing logic into
their own functions.
Continue the refactoring by extracting leaf 0x4 parsing into its own
function. Initialize local L2/L3 topology ID variables to BAD_APICID by
default, thus ensuring they can be used unconditionally.

CPUID leaf 0x2 output is a stream of one-byte descriptors, each implying
certain details about the CPU's cache and TLB entries.
At previous commits, the mapping tables for such descriptors were merged
into one consolidated table. The mapping was also transformed into a

CPUID leaf 0x2 describes TLBs and caches. So there are two tables with the
respective descriptor constants in intel.c and cacheinfo.c. The tables
occupy almost 600 byte and require a loop based lookup for each variant.
Combining them into one table occupies exactly 1k rodata and allows to get
rid of the loop based lookup by just using the descriptor byte provided by
CPUID leaf 0x2 as index into the table, which simplifies the code and
reduces text size.
The conversion of the intel.c and cacheinfo.c code is done separately.
[ darwi: Actually define struct leaf_0x2_table.
Tab-align all of cpuid_0x2_table[] mapping entries.
Define needed SZ_* macros at <linux/sizes.h> instead (merged commit.)
Use CACHE_L1_{INST,DATA} as names for L1 cache descriptor types.
Set descriptor 0x63 type as TLB_DATA_1G_2M_4M and explain why.
Use enums for cache and TLB descriptor types (parent commits.)
Start enum types at 1 since type 0 is reserved for unknown descriptors.
Ensure that cache and TLB enum type values do not intersect.
Add leaf 0x2 table accessor for_each_leaf_0x2_entry() + documentation. ]

CPUID leaf 0x2 output is a stream of one-byte descriptors, each implying
certain details about the CPU's cache and TLB entries.
Two separate tables exist for interpreting these descriptors: one for
TLBs at intel.c and one for caches at cacheinfo.c. These mapping tables
will be merged in further commits, among other improvements to their
model.
In preparation for this, use more descriptive type names for the leaf
0x2 descriptors associated with cpu caches. Namely:
LVL_1_INST => CACHE_L1_INST
LVL_1_DATA => CACHE_L1_DATA
LVL_2 => CACHE_L2
LVL_3 => CACHE_L3
After the TLB and cache descriptors mapping tables are merged, this will
make it clear that such descriptors correspond to cpu caches.

Parent commits decoupled amd_northbridge from _cpuid4_info_regs, moved
AMD L3 northbridge cache_disable_0/1 sysfs code to its own file, and
splitted AMD vs. Intel leaf 0x4 handling into:
amd_fill_cpuid4_info()
intel_fill_cpuid4_info()
fill_cpuid4_info()
After doing all that, the "_cpuid4_info_regs" name becomes a mouthful.
It is also not totally accurate, as the structure holds cpuid4 derived
information like cache node ID and size -- not just regs.
Rename struct _cpuid4_info_regs to _cpuid4_info. That new name also
better matches the AMD/Intel leaf 0x4 functions mentioned above.

The CPUID leaf 0x4 parsing code at cpuid4_cache_lookup_regs() is ugly and
convoluted. It is tangled with multiple nested conditions to handle:
* AMD with TOPEXT, or Hygon CPUs via leaf 0x8000001d
* Legacy AMD fallback via leaf 0x4 emulation
* Intel CPUs via the actual CPUID leaf 0x4
Moreover, AMD L3 northbridge initialization is also awkwardly placed
alongside the CPUID calls of the first two scenarios above. Refactor all
of that as follows:
* Update AMD's leaf 0x4 emulation comment to represent current state
* Clearly label the AMD leaf 0x4 emulation function as a fallback
* Split AMD/Hygon and Intel code paths into separate functions
* Move AMD L3 northbridge initialization out of CPUID leaf 0x4 code,
and into populate_cache_leaves() where it belongs. There,
ci_info_init() can directly store the initialized object in the
private pointer of the <linux/cacheinfo.h> API.

Parent commit decoupled amd_northbridge out of _cpuid4_info_regs, where
it was merely "parked" there until ci_info_init() can store it in the
private pointer of the <linux/cacheinfo.h> API.
Given that decoupling, move the AMD-specific L3 cache_disable_0/1 sysfs
code from the generic (and already extremely convoluted) x86/cacheinfo
code into its own file.
Compile the file only if CONFIG_AMD_NB and CONFIG_SYSFS are both
enabled, which mirrors the existing logic.

'struct _cpuid4_info_regs' is meant to hold the CPUID leaf 0x4
output registers (EAX, EBX, and ECX), as well as derived information
such as the cache node ID and size.
It also contains a reference to amd_northbridge, which is there only to
be "parked" until ci_info_init() can store it in the priv pointer of the
<linux/cacheinfo.h> API. That priv pointer is then used by AMD-specific
L3 cache_disable_0/1 sysfs attributes.
Decouple amd_northbridge from _cpuid4_info_regs and pass it explicitly
through the functions at x86/cacheinfo. Doing so clarifies when
amd_northbridge is actually needed (AMD-only code) and when it is
not (Intel-specific code). It also prepares for moving the AMD-specific
L3 cache_disable_0/1 sysfs code into its own file in next commit.

While gathering CPU cache info, CPUID leaf 0x8000001d is invoked in two
separate if blocks: one for Hygon CPUs and one for AMDs with topology
extensions. After each invocation, amd_init_l3_cache() is called.
Merge the two if blocks into a single condition, thus removing the
duplicated code. Future commits will expand these if blocks, so
combining them now is both cleaner and more maintainable.
Note, while at it, remove a useless "better error?" comment that was
within the same function since the 2005 commit e2cac78935ff ("[PATCH]

The cacheinfo code frequently uses the output registers from CPUID leaf
0x4. Such registers are cached in 'struct _cpuid4_info_regs', augmented
with related information, and are then passed across functions.
The naming of these _cpuid4_info_regs instances is confusing at best.
Some instances are called "this_leaf", which is vague as "this" lacks
context and "leaf" is overly generic given that other CPUID leaves are
also processed within cacheinfo. Other _cpuid4_info_regs instances are
just called "base", adding further ambiguity.
Standardize on id4 for all instances.

The cacheinfo structure defined at <include/linux/cacheinfo.h> is a
generic cache info object representation.
Calling its instances at x86 cacheinfo.c "leaf" confuses it with a CPUID
leaf -- especially that multiple CPUID calls are already sprinkled across
that file. Most of such instances also have a redundant "this_" prefix.
Rename all of the cacheinfo "this_leaf" instances to just "ci".

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. )

There are two issues that can appear when building with clang and
'-march=native'.
The first issue is a compiler crash in the ipv6 stack with clang-18,
such as when building allmodconfig. This was frequently reported on the
LLVM issue tracker:
# Link: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20ip6_rcv_core
Stack dump:
0. Program arguments: clang ... -march=native ... net/ipv6/ip6_input.c
1. <eof> parser at end of file
2. Code generation
3. Running pass 'Function Pass Manager' on module 'net/ipv6/ip6_input.c'.
4. Running pass 'X86 DAG->DAG Instruction Selection' on function '@ip6_rcv_core'
The second issue is certain -Wframe-larger-than warnings that appear
with clang versions prior to 19, which introduced an optimization that
produces much better code:
# Link: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/90ba33099cbb17e7c159e9ebc5a512037db99d6d [2]
clang-18:
drivers/media/pci/saa7164/saa7164-core.c:605:20: error: stack frame size (2392) exceeds limit (2048) in 'saa7164_irq' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than]
605 | static irqreturn_t saa7164_irq(int irq, void *dev_id)
| ^
clang-19:
drivers/media/pci/saa7164/saa7164-core.c:605:20: error: stack frame size (216) exceeds limit (128) in 'saa7164_irq' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than]
605 | static irqreturn_t saa7164_irq(int irq, void *dev_id)
| ^
Restrict the testing of the availability of '-march=native' to all
supported GCC versions and clang-19 and newer to avoid these known
resolved issues.

kernel with '-march=native'
Add a 'native' option that allows users to build an optimized kernel for
their local machine (i.e. the machine which is used to build the kernel)
by passing '-march=native' to CFLAGS.
The idea comes from Linus' reply to Arnd's initial proposal:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=wji1sV93yKbc==Z7OSSHBiDE=LAdG_d5Y-zPBrnSs0k2A@mail.gmail.com/
Here are some numbers comparing 'generic' to 'native' on a Skylake dual-core
laptop (generic --> native):
- vmlinux and compressed modules size:
125'907'744 bytes --> 125'595'280 bytes (-0.248 %)
18'810 kilobytes --> 18'770 kilobytes (-0.213 %)
- phoronix, average of 3 runs:
ffmpeg:
130.99 --> 131.15 (+0.122 %)
nginx:
10'650 --> 10'725 (+0.704 %)
hackbench (lower is better):
102.27 --> 99.50 (-2.709 %)
- xz compression of firefox tarball (lower is better):
319.57 seconds --> 317.34 seconds (-0.698 %)
- stress-ng, bogoops, average of 3 15-second runs:
fork:
111'744 --> 115'509 (+3.397 %)
bsearch:
7'211 --> 7'436 (+3.120 %)
memfd:
3'591 --> 3'604 (+0.362 %)
mmapfork:
630 --> 629 (-0.159 %)
schedmix:
42'715 --> 43'251 (+1.255 %)
epoll:
2'443'767 --> 2'454'413 (+0.436 %)
vm:
1'442'256 --> 1'486'615 (+3.076 %)
- schbench (two message threads), 30-second runs:
304 rps --> 305 rps (+0.329 %)
There is little difference both in terms of size and of performance, however
the native build comes out on top ever so slightly.
