Merge tag 'x86_urgent_for_6.16-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tipHEADmaster
Pull x86 fixes from Dave Hansen: "This is a pretty scattered set of fixes. The majority of them are further fixups around the recent ITS mitigations. The rest don't really have a coherent story: - Some flavors of Xen PV guests don't support large pages, but the set_memory.c code assumes all CPUs support them. Avoid problems with a quick CPU feature check. - The TDX code has some wrappers to help retry calls to the TDX module. They use function pointers to assembly functions and the compiler usually generates direct CALLs. But some new compilers, plus -Os turned them in to indirect CALLs and the assembly code was not annotated for indirect calls. Force inlining of the helper to fix it up. - Last, a FRED issue showed up when single-stepping. It's fine when using an external debugger, but was getting stuck returning from a SIGTRAP handler otherwise. Clear the FRED 'swevent' bit to ensure that forward progress is made" * tag 'x86_urgent_for_6.16-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: Revert "mm/execmem: Unify early execmem_cache behaviour" x86/its: explicitly manage permissions for ITS pages x86/its: move its_pages array to struct mod_arch_specific x86/Kconfig: only enable ROX cache in execmem when STRICT_MODULE_RWX is set x86/mm/pat: don't collapse pages without PSE set x86/virt/tdx: Avoid indirect calls to TDX assembly functions selftests/x86: Add a test to detect infinite SIGTRAP handler loop x86/fred/signal: Prevent immediate repeat of single step trap on return from SIGTRAP handler
