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.
- 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

Using Clement's new validation callbacks, support checking that
dependencies have been satisfied for the floating point extensions.
The check for "d" might be slightly confusingly shorter than that of "f",
despite "d" depending on "f". This is because the requirement that a
hart supporting double precision must also support single precision,
should be validated by dt-bindings etc, not the kernel but lack of
support for single precision only is a limitation of the kernel.

Using Clement's new validation callbacks, support checking that
dependencies have been satisfied for the vector crpyto extensions.
Currently riscv_isa_extension_available(<vector crypto>) will return
true on systems that support the extensions but vector itself has been
disabled by the kernel, adding validation callbacks will prevent such a
scenario from occuring and make the behaviour of the extension detection
functions more consistent with user expectations - it's not expected to
have to check for vector AND the specific crypto extension.
The Unpriv spec states:
| The Zvknhb and Zvbc Vector Crypto Extensions --and accordingly the
| composite extensions Zvkn, Zvknc, Zvkng, and Zvksc-- require a Zve64x
| base, or application ("V") base Vector Extension. All of the other
| Vector Crypto Extensions can be built on any embedded (Zve*) or
| application ("V") base Vector Extension.
While this could be used as the basis for checking that the correct base
for individual crypto extensions, but that's not really the kernel's job
in my opinion and it is sufficient to leave that sort of precision to
the dt-bindings. The kernel only needs to make sure that vector, in some
form, is available.

Using Clement's new validation callbacks, support checking that
dependencies have been satisfied for the vector extensions. From the
kernel's perfective, it's not required to differentiate between the
conditions for all the various vector subsets - it's the firmware's job
to not report impossible combinations. Instead, the kernel only has to
check that the correct config options are enabled and to enforce its
requirement of the d extension being present for FPU support.
Since vector will now be disabled proactively, there's no need to clear
the bit in elf_hwcap in riscv_fill_hwcap() any longer.

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. )

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.

Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar:
- The biggest change is the new option to automatically fail the build
on objtool warnings: CONFIG_OBJTOOL_WERROR.
While there are no currently known unfixed false positives left, such
an expansion in the severity of objtool warnings inevitably creates a
risk of build failures, so it's disabled by default and depends on
!COMPILE_TEST, so it shouldn't be enabled on
allyesconfig/allmodconfig builds and won't be forced on people who
just accept build-time defaults in 'make oldconfig'.
While the option is strongly recommended, only people who enable it
explicitly should see it.

Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:
- Mount notifications
The day has come where we finally provide a new api to listen for
mount topology changes outside of /proc/<pid>/mountinfo. A mount
namespace file descriptor can be supplied and registered with
fanotify to listen for mount topology changes.
Currently notifications for mount, umount and moving mounts are
generated. The generated notification record contains the unique
mount id of the mount.
The listmount() and statmount() api can be used to query detailed
information about the mount using the received unique mount id.
This allows userspace to figure out exactly how the mount topology
changed without having to generating diffs of /proc/<pid>/mountinfo
in userspace.
- Support O_PATH file descriptors with FSCONFIG_SET_FD in the new mount
api
- Support detached mounts in overlayfs
Since last cycle we support specifying overlayfs layers via file
descriptors. However, we don't allow detached mounts which means
userspace cannot user file descriptors received via
open_tree(OPEN_TREE_CLONE) and fsmount() directly. They have to
attach them to a mount namespace via move_mount() first.
This is cumbersome and means they have to undo mounts via umount().
Allow them to directly use detached mounts.
- Allow to retrieve idmappings with statmount
Currently it isn't possible to figure out what idmapping has been
attached to an idmapped mount. Add an extension to statmount() which
allows to read the idmapping from the mount.
- Allow creating idmapped mounts from mounts that are already idmapped
So far it isn't possible to allow the creation of idmapped mounts
from already idmapped mounts as this has significant lifetime
implications. Make the creation of idmapped mounts atomic by allow to
pass struct mount_attr together with the open_tree_attr() system call
allowing to solve these issues without complicating VFS lookup in any
way.
The system call has in general the benefit that creating a detached
mount and applying mount attributes to it becomes an atomic operation
for userspace.
- Add a way to query statmount() for supported options
Allow userspace to query which mount information can be retrieved
through statmount().
- Allow superblock owners to force unmount

teh GENERIC_IOMAP was left in place but incorrectly configured.

cpufreq core to reduce boilerplate code from drivers (Viresh Kumar).
- Minor cleanups to cpufreq drivers (Aaron Kling, Benjamin Schneider,

- cpufreq-qcom-hw DT binding fixes (Krzysztof Kozlowski).
- Use str_enable_disable() helper in cpufreq_online() (Lifeng Zheng).
- Optimize the amd-pstate driver to avoid cases where call paths end
up calling the same writes multiple times and needlessly caching
variables through code reorganization, locking overhaul and tracing
adjustments (Mario Limonciello, Dhananjay Ugwekar).
- Make it possible to avoid enabling capacity-aware scheduling (CAS) in
the intel_pstate driver and relocate a check for out-of-band (OOB)
platform handling in it to make it detect OOB before checking HWP
availability (Rafael Wysocki).
- Fix dbs_update() to avoid inadvertent conversions of negative integer
values to unsigned int which causes CPU frequency selection to be
inaccurate in some cases when the "conservative" cpufreq governor is
in use (Jie Zhan).

The toplevel Makefile already provides -fmacro-prefix-map as part of
KBUILD_CPPFLAGS. In contrast to the KBUILD_CFLAGS and KBUILD_AFLAGS
variables, KBUILD_CPPFLAGS is not redefined in the architecture specific
Makefiles. Therefore the toplevel KBUILD_CPPFLAGS do apply just fine, to
both C and ASM sources.
The custom configuration was necessary when it was added in
commit 9e2276fa6eb3 ("arch/x86/boot: Use prefix map to avoid embedded
paths") but has since become unnecessary in commit a716bd743210
("kbuild: use -fmacro-prefix-map for .S sources").

CONFIG_TRACE_BRANCH_PROFILING inserts a call to ftrace_likely_update()
for each use of likely() or unlikely(). That breaks noinstr rules if
the affected function is annotated as noinstr.
Disable branch profiling for files with noinstr functions. In addition
to some individual files, this also includes the entire arch/x86
subtree, as well as the kernel/entry, drivers/cpuidle, and drivers/idle
directories, all of which are noinstr-heavy.
Due to the nature of how sched binaries are built by combining multiple
.c files into one, branch profiling is disabled more broadly across the
sched code than would otherwise be needed.
This fixes many warnings like the following:
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: do_syscall_64+0x40: call to ftrace_likely_update() leaves .noinstr.text section

Although IBS "swfilt" can prevent leaking samples with kernel RIP to the
userspace, there are few subtle cases where a 'data' address and/or a
'branch target' address can fall under kernel address range although RIP
is from userspace. Prevent leaking kernel 'data' addresses by discarding
such samples when {exclude_kernel=1,swfilt=1}.
IBS can now be invoked by unprivileged user with the introduction of
"swfilt". However, this creates a loophole in the interface where an
unprivileged user can get physical address of the userspace virtual
addresses through IBS register raw dump (PERF_SAMPLE_RAW). Prevent this
as well.
This upstream commit fixed the most obvious leak:
65a99264f5e5 perf/x86: Check data address for IBS software filter
Follow that up with a more complete fix.

I was unable to find a good description of the ServerWorks CNB20LE
chipset. However, it was probably exclusively used with the Pentium III
processor (this CPU model was used in all references to it that I
found where the CPU model was provided: dmesgs in [1] and [2];
[3] page 2; [4]-[7]).
As is widely known, the Pentium III processor did not support the 64-bit
mode, support for which was introduced by Intel a couple of years later.
So it is safe to assume that no systems with the CNB20LE chipset have
amd64 and the CONFIG_PCI_CNB20LE_QUIRK may now depend on X86_32.
Additionally, I have determined that most computers with the CNB20LE
chipset did have ACPI support and this driver was inactive on them.
I have submitted a patch to remove this driver, but it was met with
resistance [8].

By (EXPERIMENTAL && X86_32) turning into (X86_32). Since

As many current platforms (most modern Intel CPUs and QEMU) have x2APIC
present, enable CONFIG_X86_X2APIC by default as it gives performance
and functionality benefits. Additionally, if the BIOS has already
switched APIC to x2APIC mode, but CONFIG_X86_X2APIC is disabled, the
kernel will panic in arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.c .
Also improve the help text, which was confusing and really did not
describe what the feature is about.
Help text references and discussion:
Both Intel [1] and AMD [3] spell the name as "x2APIC", not "x2apic".
"It allows faster access to the local APIC"
[2], chapter 2.1, page 15:
"More efficient MSR interface to access APIC registers."
"x2APIC was introduced in Intel CPUs around 2008":
I was unable to find specific information which Intel CPUs
support x2APIC. Wikipedia claims it was "introduced with the
Nehalem microarchitecture in November 2008", but I was not able
to confirm this independently. At least some Nehalem CPUs do not
support x2APIC [1].
The documentation [2] is dated June 2008. Linux kernel also
introduced x2APIC support in 2008, so the year seems to be
right.
"and in AMD EPYC CPUs in 2019":
[3], page 15:
"AMD introduced an x2APIC in our EPYC 7002 Series processors for
the first time."
"It is also frequently emulated in virtual machines, even when the host
CPU does not support it."
[1]
"If this configuration option is disabled, the kernel will not boot on
some platforms that have x2APIC enabled."
According to some BIOS documentation [4], the x2APIC may be
"disabled", "enabled", or "force enabled" on this system.
I think that "enabled" means "made available to the operating
system, but not already turned on" and "force enabled" means
"already switched to x2APIC mode when the OS boots". Only in the
latter mode a kernel without CONFIG_X86_X2APIC will panic in
validate_x2apic() in arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.c .
QEMU 4.2.1 and my Intel HP laptop (bought in 2019) use the
"enabled" mode and the kernel does not panic.

The crash happens because commit e120d1bc12da ("arch, mm: set high_memory
in free_area_init()") moved initialization of high_memory after
__vmalloc_start_set and with high_memory still set to 0 any address passes
is_vmalloc_addr() check.
Restore early initialization of high_memory on 32-bit systems in
initmem_init().
