s390/alternatives: Remove noaltinstr option
The current Kernel doesn't boot without alternative patching on z16 machines. To avoid such bugs in the future, remove the option disable alternative patching.

- 875fa64577da ("mm/hugetlb_vmemmap: fix race with speculative PFN
walkers") is known to cause a performance regression (https://lore.kernel.org/all/3acefad9-96e5-4681-8014-827d6be71c7a@linux.ibm.com/T/#mfa809800a7862fb5bdf834c6f71a3a5113eb83ff). Yu has a fix which I'll send along later via the hotfixes branch. - In the series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling" Jan Kara addresses a couple of issues in the writeback throttling code. These fixes are also targetted at -stable kernels. - Ryusuke Konishi's series "nilfs2: fix potential issues related to reserved inodes" does that. This should actually be in the mm-nonmm-stable tree, along with the many other nilfs2 patches. My bad. - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series "mm: convert to folio_alloc_mpol()" - Kemeng Shi has sent some cleanups to the writeback code in the series "Add helper functions to remove repeated code and improve readability of cgroup writeback" - Kairui Song has made the swap code a little smaller and a little faster in the series "mm/swap: clean up and optimize swap cache index". - In the series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()" David Hildenbrand has reworked the rather sketchy handling of the use of the zeropage in MAP_SHARED mappings. I don't see any runtime effects here - more a cleanup/understandability/maintainablity thing. - Dev Jain has improved selftests/mm/va_high_addr_switch.c's handling of higher addresses, for aarch64. The (poorly named) series is "Restructure va_high_addr_switch". - The core TLB handling code gets some cleanups and possible slight optimizations in Bang Li's series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to simplify code". - Jane Chu has improved the handling of our fake-an-unrecoverable-memory-error testing feature MADV_HWPOISON in the series "Enhance soft hwpoison handling and injection". - Jeff Johnson has sent a billion patches everywhere to add MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to everything. Some landed in this pull. - In the series "mm: cleanup MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode", Kefeng Wang has simplified migration's use of hardware-offload memory copying. - Yosry Ahmed performs more folio API conversions in his series "mm: zswap: trivial folio conversions". - In the series "large folios swap-in: handle refault cases first", Chuanhua Han inches us forward in the handling of large pages in the swap code. This is a cleanup and optimization, working toward the end objective of full support of large folio swapin/out. - In the series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window calculation", Huang Ying has contributed some cleanups and a possible fixlet to his VMA based swap readahead code. - In the series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem" Baolin Wang has taught anonymous shmem mappings to use multisize THP. By default this is a no-op - users must opt in vis sysfs controls. Dramatic improvements in pagefault latency are realized. - David Hildenbrand has some cleanups to our remaining use of page_mapcount() in the series "fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to fs/proc/internal.h". - David also has some highmem accounting cleanups in the series "mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually". - Build-time fixes and cleanups from John Hubbard in the series "cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"". - Cleanups and consolidation of the core pagemap handling from Barry Song in the series "mm: introduce pmd|pte_needs_soft_dirty_wp helpers and utilize them". - Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly common circumstances. A 10x speedup is seen in a microbenchmark. It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless all CPUs are pegged. - hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes". - Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that thing. - Is anyone reading this stuff? If so, email me! - Someone other than SeongJae has developed a DAMON feature in Honggyu Kim's series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory". This adds DAMON features which may be used to help determine the efficiency of our placement of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM. - DAMON user API centralization and simplificatio work in SeongJae Park's series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit function". - In the series "mm: page_type, zsmalloc and page_mapcount_reset()" David Hildenbrand does some maintenance work on zsmalloc - partially modernizing its use of pageframe fields. - Kefeng Wang provides more folio conversions in the series "mm: remove page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()". - More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series "mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for !ZONE_DEVICE". It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline() pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks. - Barry Song's series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and __folio_add_anon_rmap()" is a cleanup to the anon folio handling in preparation for mTHP (multisize THP) swapin. - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: improve clear and copy user folio" implements more folio conversions, this time in the area of large folio userspace copying. - The series "Docs/mm/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool and community meetup series" tells people how to get better involved with other DAMON developers. From SeongJae Park. - A large series ("kmsan: Enable on s390") from Ilya Leoshkevich does that. - David Hildenbrand sends along more cleanups, this time against the migration code. The series is "mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault folio isolation + checks under PTL". - Jan Kara has found quite a lot of strangenesses and minor errors in the readahead code. He addresses this in the series "mm: Fix various readahead quirks". - SeongJae Park's series "selftests/damon: test DAMOS tried regions and {min,max}_nr_regions" adds features and addresses errors in DAMON's self testing code. - Gavin Shan has found a userspace-triggerable WARN in the pagecache code. The series "mm/filemap: Limit page cache size to that supported by xarray" addresses this. The series is marked cc:stable. - Chengming Zhou's series "mm/ksm: cmp_and_merge_page() optimizations and cleanup" cleans up and slightly optimizes KSM. - Roman Gushchin has separated the memcg-v1 and memcg-v2 code - lots of code motion. The series (which also makes the memcg-v1 code Kconfigurable) are "mm: memcg: separate legacy cgroup v1 code and put under config option" and "mm: memcg: put cgroup v1-specific memcg data under CONFIG_MEMCG_V1" - Dan Schatzberg's series "Add swappiness argument to memory.reclaim" adds an additional feature to this cgroup-v2 control file. - The series "Userspace controls soft-offline pages" from Jiaqi Yan permits userspace to stop the kernel's automatic treatment of excessive correctable memory errors. In order to permit userspace to monitor and handle this situation. - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: migrate: support poison recover from migrate folio" teaches the kernel to appropriately handle migration from poisoned source folios rather than simply panicing. - SeongJae Park's series "Docs/damon: minor fixups and improvements" does those things. - In the series "mm/zsmalloc: change back to per-size_class lock" Chengming Zhou improves zsmalloc's scalability and memory utilization. - Vivek Kasireddy's series "mm/gup: Introduce memfd_pin_folios() for pinning memfd folios" makes the GUP code use FOLL_PIN rather than bare refcount increments. So these paes can first be moved aside if they reside in the movable zone or a CMA block. - Andrii Nakryiko has added a binary ioctl()-based API to /proc/pid/maps for much faster reading of vma information. The series is "query VMAs from /proc/<pid>/maps". - In the series "mm: introduce per-order mTHP split counters" Lance Yang improves the kernel's presentation of developer information related to multisize THP splitting. - Michael Ellerman has developed the series "Reimplement huge pages without hugepd on powerpc (8xx, e500, book3s/64)". This permits userspace to use all available huge page sizes. - In the series "revert unconditional slab and page allocator fault injection calls" Vlastimil Babka removes a performance-affecting and not very useful feature from slab fault injection. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEABYKAB0WIQTTMBEPP41GrTpTJgfdBJ7gKXxAjgUCZp2C+QAKCRDdBJ7gKXxA joTkAQDvjqOoFStqk4GU3OXMYB7WCU/ZQMFG0iuu1EEwTVDZ4QEA8CnG7seek1R3 xEoo+vw0sWWeLV3qzsxnCA1BJ8cTJA8= =z0Lf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'mm-stable-2024-07-21-14-50' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - In the series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling" Jan Kara addresses a couple of issues in the writeback throttling code.

ARM:
* Initial infrastructure for shadow stage-2 MMUs, as part of nested virtualization enablement * Support for userspace changes to the guest CTR_EL0 value, enabling (in part) migration of VMs between heterogenous hardware * Fixes + improvements to pKVM's FF-A proxy, adding support for v1.1 of the protocol * FPSIMD/SVE support for nested, including merged trap configuration and exception routing * New command-line parameter to control the WFx trap behavior under KVM * Introduce kCFI hardening in the EL2 hypervisor * Fixes + cleanups for handling presence/absence of FEAT_TCRX * Miscellaneous fixes + documentation updates LoongArch: * Add paravirt steal time support. * Add support for KVM_DIRTY_LOG_INITIALLY_SET. * Add perf kvm-stat support for loongarch. RISC-V: * Redirect AMO load/store access fault traps to guest * perf kvm stat support * Use guest files for IMSIC virtualization, when available ONE_REG support for the Zimop, Zcmop, Zca, Zcf, Zcd, Zcb and Zawrs ISA extensions is coming through the RISC-V tree. s390: * Assortment of tiny fixes which are not time critical x86: * Fixes for Xen emulation. * Add a global struct to consolidate tracking of host values, e.g. EFER * Add KVM_CAP_X86_APIC_BUS_CYCLES_NS to allow configuring the effective APIC bus frequency, because TDX. * Print the name of the APICv/AVIC inhibits in the relevant tracepoint. * Clean up KVM's handling of vendor specific emulation to consistently act on "compatible with Intel/AMD", versus checking for a specific vendor. * Drop MTRR virtualization, and instead always honor guest PAT on CPUs that support self-snoop. * Update to the newfangled Intel CPU FMS infrastructure. * Don't advertise IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_OVF_CTRL as an MSR-to-be-saved, as it reads '0' and writes from userspace are ignored. * Misc cleanups x86 - MMU: * Small cleanups, renames and refactoring extracted from the upcoming Intel TDX support. * Don't allocate kvm_mmu_page.shadowed_translation for shadow pages that can't hold leafs SPTEs. * Unconditionally drop mmu_lock when allocating TDP MMU page tables for eager page splitting, to avoid stalling vCPUs when splitting huge pages. * Bug the VM instead of simply warning if KVM tries to split a SPTE that is non-present or not-huge. KVM is guaranteed to end up in a broken state because the callers fully expect a valid SPTE, it's all but dangerous to let more MMU changes happen afterwards. x86 - AMD: * Make per-CPU save_area allocations NUMA-aware. * Force sev_es_host_save_area() to be inlined to avoid calling into an instrumentable function from noinstr code. * Base support for running SEV-SNP guests. API-wise, this includes a new KVM_X86_SNP_VM type, encrypting/measure the initial image into guest memory, and finalizing it before launching it. Internally, there are some gmem/mmu hooks needed to prepare gmem-allocated pages before mapping them into guest private memory ranges. This includes basic support for attestation guest requests, enough to say that KVM supports the GHCB 2.0 specification. There is no support yet for loading into the firmware those signing keys to be used for attestation requests, and therefore no need yet for the host to provide certificate data for those keys. To support fetching certificate data from userspace, a new KVM exit type will be needed to handle fetching the certificate from userspace. An attempt to define a new KVM_EXIT_COCO/KVM_EXIT_COCO_REQ_CERTS exit type to handle this was introduced in v1 of this patchset, but is still being discussed by community, so for now this patchset only implements a stub version of SNP Extended Guest Requests that does not provide certificate data. x86 - Intel: * Remove an unnecessary EPT TLB flush when enabling hardware. * Fix a series of bugs that cause KVM to fail to detect nested pending posted interrupts as valid wake eents for a vCPU executing HLT in L2 (with HLT-exiting disable by L1). * KVM: x86: Suppress MMIO that is triggered during task switch emulation Explicitly suppress userspace emulated MMIO exits that are triggered when emulating a task switch as KVM doesn't support userspace MMIO during complex (multi-step) emulation. Silently ignoring the exit request can result in the WARN_ON_ONCE(vcpu->mmio_needed) firing if KVM exits to userspace for some other reason prior to purging mmio_needed. See commit |

PCI: Extend ACS configurability
PCIe ACS settings control the level of isolation and the possible P2P paths between devices. With greater isolation the kernel will create smaller iommu_groups and with less isolation there is more HW that can achieve P2P transfers. From a virtualization perspective all devices in the same iommu_group must be assigned to the same VM as they lack security isolation. There is no way for the kernel to automatically know the correct ACS settings for any given system and workload. Existing command line options (e.g., disable_acs_redir) allow only for large scale change, disabling all isolation, but this is not sufficient for more complex cases. Add a kernel command-line option 'config_acs' to directly control all the ACS bits for specific devices, which allows the operator to setup the right level of isolation to achieve the desired P2P configuration. The definition is future proof; when new ACS bits are added to the spec the open syntax can be extended. ACS needs to be setup early in the kernel boot as the ACS settings affect how iommu_groups are formed. iommu_group formation is a one time event during initial device discovery, so changing ACS bits after kernel boot can result in an inaccurate view of the iommu_groups compared to the current isolation configuration. ACS applies to PCIe Downstream Ports and multi-function devices. The default ACS settings are strict and deny any direct traffic between two functions. This results in the smallest iommu_group the HW can support. Frequently these values result in slow or non-working P2PDMA. ACS offers a range of security choices controlling how traffic is allowed to go directly between two devices. Some popular choices: - Full prevention - Translated requests can be direct, with various options - Asymmetric direct traffic, A can reach B but not the reverse - All traffic can be direct Along with some other less common ones for special topologies. The intention is that this option would be used with expert knowledge of the HW capability and workload to achieve the desired configuration.

MIPS: Implement ieee754 NAN2008 emulation mode
Implement ieee754 NAN2008 emulation mode. When this mode is enabled, kernel will accept ELF file compiled for both NaN 2008 and NaN legacy, but if hardware does not have capability to match ELF's NaN mode, __own_fpu will fail for corresponding thread and fpuemu will then kick in. This mode trade performance for correctness, while maintaining support for both NaN mode regardless of hardware capability. It is useful for multilib installation that have both types of binary exist in system.

xen: make multicall debug boot time selectable
Today Xen multicall debugging needs to be enabled via modifying a define in a source file for getting debug data of multicall errors encountered by users. Switch multicall debugging to depend on a boot parameter "xen_mc_debug" instead, enabling affected users to boot with the new parameter set in order to get better diagnostics. With debugging enabled print the following information in case at least one of the batched calls failed: - all calls of the batch with operation, result and caller - all parameters of each call - all parameters stored in the multicall data for each call Signed-off-by: Juergen Gross <jgross@suse.com> Reviewed-by: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com> Message-ID: <20240710092749.13595-1-jgross@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Juergen Gross <jgross@suse.com> |

LoongArch: KVM: Add PV steal time support in guest side
Per-cpu struct kvm_steal_time is added here, its size is 64 bytes and also defined as 64 bytes, so that the whole structure is in one physical page. When a VCPU is online, function pv_enable_steal_time() is called. This function will pass guest physical address of struct kvm_steal_time and tells hypervisor to enable steal time. When a vcpu is offline, physical address is set as 0 and tells hypervisor to disable steal time. Here is an output of vmstat on guest when there is workload on both host and guest. It shows steal time stat information. procs -----------memory---------- -----io---- -system-- ------cpu----- r b swpd free inact active bi bo in cs us sy id wa st 15 1 0 7583616 184112 72208 20 0 162 52 31 6 43 0 20 17 0 0 7583616 184704 72192 0 0 6318 6885 5 60 8 5 22 16 0 0 7583616 185392 72144 0 0 1766 1081 0 49 0 1 50 16 0 0 7583616 184816 72304 0 0 6300 6166 4 62 12 2 20 18 0 0 7583632 184480 72240 0 0 2814 1754 2 58 4 1 35 Signed-off-by: Bibo Mao <maobibo@loongson.cn> Signed-off-by: Huacai Chen <chenhuacai@loongson.cn> |

rcu: Add rcutree.nohz_full_patience_delay to reduce nohz_full OS jitter
If a CPU is running either a userspace application or a guest OS in nohz_full mode, it is possible for a system call to occur just as an RCU grace period is starting. If that CPU also has the scheduling-clock tick enabled for any reason (such as a second runnable task), and if the system was booted with rcutree.use_softirq=0, then RCU can add insult to injury by awakening that CPU's rcuc kthread, resulting in yet another task and yet more OS jitter due to switching to that task, running it, and switching back. In addition, in the common case where that system call is not of excessively long duration, awakening the rcuc task is pointless. This pointlessness is due to the fact that the CPU will enter an extended quiescent state upon returning to the userspace application or guest OS. In this case, the rcuc kthread cannot do anything that the main RCU grace-period kthread cannot do on its behalf, at least if it is given a few additional milliseconds (for example, given the time duration specified by rcutree.jiffies_till_first_fqs, give or take scheduling delays). This commit therefore adds a rcutree.nohz_full_patience_delay kernel boot parameter that specifies the grace period age (in milliseconds, rounded to jiffies) before which RCU will refrain from awakening the rcuc kthread. Preliminary experimentation suggests a value of 1000, that is, one second. Increasing rcutree.nohz_full_patience_delay will increase grace-period latency and in turn increase memory footprint, so systems with constrained memory might choose a smaller value. Systems with less-aggressive OS-jitter requirements might choose the default value of zero, which keeps the traditional immediate-wakeup behavior, thus avoiding increases in grace-period latency.

vmalloc: modify the alloc_vmap_area() error message for better diagnostics
'vmap allocation for size %lu failed: use vmalloc=<size> to increase size' The above warning is seen in the kernel functionality for allocation of the restricted virtual memory range till exhaustion. This message is misleading because 'vmalloc=' is supported on arm32, x86 platforms and is not a valid kernel parameter on a number of other platforms (in particular its not supported on arm64, alpha, loongarch, arc, csky, hexagon, microblaze, mips, nios2, openrisc, parisc, m64k, powerpc, riscv, sh, um, xtensa, s390, sparc). With the update, the output gets modified to include the function parameters along with the start and end of the virtual memory range allowed.

x86/efi: Drop support for fake EFI memory maps
Between kexec and confidential VM support, handling the EFI memory maps correctly on x86 is already proving to be rather difficult (as opposed to other EFI architectures which manage to never modify the EFI memory map to begin with) EFI fake memory map support is essentially a development hack (for testing new support for the 'special purpose' and 'more reliable' EFI memory attributes) that leaked into production code. The regions marked in this manner are not actually recognized as such by the firmware itself or the EFI stub (and never have), and marking memory as 'more reliable' seems rather futile if the underlying memory is just ordinary RAM. Marking memory as 'special purpose' in this way is also dubious, but may be in use in production code nonetheless. However, the same should be achievable by using the memmap= command line option with the ! operator. EFI fake memmap support is not enabled by any of the major distros (Debian, Fedora, SUSE, Ubuntu) and does not exist on other architectures, so let's drop support for it.

mm/memblock: Add "reserve_mem" to reserved named memory at boot up
In order to allow for requesting a memory region that can be used for things like pstore on multiple machines where the memory layout is not the same, add a new option to the kernel command line called "reserve_mem". The format is: reserve_mem=nn:align:name Where it will find nn amount of memory at the given alignment of align. The name field is to allow another subsystem to retrieve where the memory was found. For example: reserve_mem=12M:4096:oops ramoops.mem_name=oops Where ramoops.mem_name will tell ramoops that memory was reserved for it via the reserve_mem option and it can find it by calling: if (reserve_mem_find_by_name("oops", &start, &size)) { // start holds the start address and size holds the size given This is typically used for systems that do not wipe the RAM, and this command line will try to reserve the same physical memory on soft reboots. Note, it is not guaranteed to be the same location. For example, if KASLR places the kernel at the location of where the RAM reservation was from a previous boot, the new reservation will be at a different location. Any subsystem using this feature must add a way to verify that the contents of the physical memory is from a previous boot, as there may be cases where the memory will not be located at the same location. Not all systems may work either. There could be bit flips if the reboot goes through the BIOS. Using kexec to reboot the machine is likely to have better results in such cases.

Revert "mm: init_mlocked_on_free_v3"
There was insufficient review and no agreement that this is the right
approach.
There are serious flaws with the implementation that make processes using
mlock() not even work with simple fork() [1] and we get reliable crashes
when rebooting.
Further, simply because we might be unmapping a single PTE of a large
mlocked folio, we shouldn't zero out the whole folio.
... especially because the code can also *corrupt* urelated memory because
kernel_init_pages(page, folio_nr_pages(folio));
Could end up writing outside of the actual folio if we work with a tail
page.
Let's revert it. Once there is agreement that this is the right approach,
the issues were fixed and there was reasonable review and proper testing,
we can consider it again.

KVM: arm64: Add early_param to control WFx trapping
Add an early_params to control WFI and WFE trapping. This is to control the degree guests can wait for interrupts on their own without being trapped by KVM. Options for each param are trap and notrap. trap enables the trap. notrap disables the trap. Note that when enabled, traps are allowed but not guaranteed by the CPU architecture. Absent an explicitly set policy, default to current behavior: disabling the trap if only a single task is running and enabling otherwise.

tracing: Add option to use memmapped memory for trace boot instance
Add an option to the trace_instance kernel command line parameter that allows it to use the reserved memory from memmap boot parameter. memmap=12M$0x284500000 trace_instance=boot_mapped@0x284500000:12M The above will reserves 12 megs at the physical address 0x284500000. The second parameter will create a "boot_mapped" instance and use the memory reserved as the memory for the ring buffer. That will create an instance called "boot_mapped": /sys/kernel/tracing/instances/boot_mapped Note, because the ring buffer is using a defined memory ranged, it will act just like a memory mapped ring buffer. It will not have a snapshot buffer, as it can't swap out the buffer. The snapshot files as well as any tracers that uses a snapshot will not be present in the boot_mapped instance.

sched/core: Drop spinlocks on contention iff kernel is preemptible
Use preempt_model_preemptible() to detect a preemptible kernel when
deciding whether or not to reschedule in order to drop a contended
spinlock or rwlock. Because PREEMPT_DYNAMIC selects PREEMPTION, kernels
built with PREEMPT_DYNAMIC=y will yield contended locks even if the live
preemption model is "none" or "voluntary". In short, make kernels with
dynamically selected models behave the same as kernels with statically
selected models.
Somewhat counter-intuitively, NOT yielding a lock can provide better
latency for the relevant tasks/processes. E.g. KVM x86's mmu_lock, a
rwlock, is often contended between an invalidation event (takes mmu_lock
for write) and a vCPU servicing a guest page fault (takes mmu_lock for
read). For _some_ setups, letting the invalidation task complete even
if there is mmu_lock contention provides lower latency for *all* tasks,
i.e. the invalidation completes sooner *and* the vCPU services the guest
page fault sooner.
But even KVM's mmu_lock behavior isn't uniform, e.g. the "best" behavior
can vary depending on the host VMM, the guest workload, the number of
vCPUs, the number of pCPUs in the host, why there is lock contention, etc.
In other words, simply deleting the CONFIG_PREEMPTION guard (or doing the
opposite and removing contention yielding entirely) needs to come with a
big pile of data proving that changing the status quo is a net positive.
Opportunistically document this side effect of preempt=full, as yielding
contended spinlocks can have significant, user-visible impact.

platform/x86: touchscreen_dmi: Add support for setting touchscreen properties from cmdline
On x86/ACPI platforms touchscreens mostly just work without needing any device/model specific configuration. But in some cases (mostly with Silead and Goodix touchscreens) it is still necessary to manually specify various touchscreen-properties on a per model basis. touchscreen_dmi is a special place for DMI quirks for this, but it can be challenging for users to figure out the right property values, especially for Silead touchscreens where non of these can be read back from the touchscreen-controller. ATM users can only test touchscreen properties by editing touchscreen_dmi.c and then building a completely new kernel which makes it unnecessary difficult for users to test and submit properties when necessary for their laptop / tablet model. Add support for specifying properties on the kernel commandline to allow users to easily figure out the right settings. See the added documentation in kernel-parameters.txt for the commandline syntax.

X86 interrupt handling update:
Support for posted interrupts on bare metal Posted interrupts is a virtualization feature which allows to inject interrupts directly into a guest without host interaction. The VT-d interrupt remapping hardware sets the bit which corresponds to the interrupt vector in a vector bitmap which is either used to inject the interrupt directly into the guest via a virtualized APIC or in case that the guest is scheduled out provides a host side notification interrupt which informs the host that an interrupt has been marked pending in the bitmap. This can be utilized on bare metal for scenarios where multiple devices, e.g. NVME storage, raise interrupts with a high frequency. In the default mode these interrupts are handles independently and therefore require a full roundtrip of interrupt entry/exit. Utilizing posted interrupts this roundtrip overhead can be avoided by coalescing these interrupt entries to a single entry for the posted interrupt notification. The notification interrupt then demultiplexes the pending bits in a memory based bitmap and invokes the corresponding device specific handlers. Depending on the usage scenario and device utilization throughput improvements between 10% and 130% have been measured. As this is only relevant for high end servers with multiple device queues per CPU attached and counterproductive for situations where interrupts are arriving at distinct times, the functionality is opt-in via a kernel command line parameter. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJHBAABCgAxFiEEQp8+kY+LLUocC4bMphj1TA10mKEFAmZBGUITHHRnbHhAbGlu dXRyb25peC5kZQAKCRCmGPVMDXSYod3xD/98Xa4qZN7eceyyGUhgXnPLOKQzGQ7k 7cmhsoAYjABeXLvuAvtKePL7ky7OPcqVW2E/g0+jdZuRDkRDbnVkM7CDMRTyL0/b BZLhVAXyANKjK79a5WvjL0zDasYQRQ16MQJ6TPa++mX0KhZSI7KvXWIqPWov5i02 n8UbPUraH5bJi3qGKm6u4n2261Be1gtDag0ZjmGma45/3wsn3bWPoB7iPK6qxmq3 Q7VARPXAcRp5wYACk6mCOM1dOXMUV9CgI5AUk92xGfXi4RAdsFeNSzeQWn9jHWOf CYbbJjNl4QmGP4IWmy6/Up4vIiEhUCOT2DmHsygrQTs/G+nPnMAe1qUuDuECiofj iToBL3hn1dHG8uINKOB81MJ33QEGWyYWY8PxxoR3LMTrhVpfChUlJO8T2XK5nu+i 2EA6XLtJiHacpXhn8HQam0aQN9nvi4wT1LzpkhmboyCQuXTiXuJNbyLIh5TdFa1n DzqAGhRB67z6eGevJJ7kTI1X71W0poMwYlzCU8itnLOK8np0zFQ8bgwwqm9opZGq V2eSDuZAbqXVolzmaF8NSfM+b/R9URQtWsZ8cEc+/OdVV4HR4zfeqejy60TuV/4G 39CTnn8vPBKcRSS6CAcJhKPhzIvHw4EMhoU4DJKBtwBdM58RyP9NY1wF3rIPJIGh sl61JBuYYuIZXg== =bqLN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'x86-irq-2024-05-12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 interrupt handling updates from Thomas Gleixner: "Add support for posted interrupts on bare metal.

- Store AP Query Configuration Information in a static buffer
- Rework the AP initialization and add missing cleanups to the error path - Swap IRQ and AP bus/device registration to avoid race conditions - Export prot_virt_guest symbol - Introduce AP configuration changes notifier interface to facilitate modularization of the AP bus - Add CONFIG_AP kernel configuration option to allow modularization of the AP bus - Rework CONFIG_ZCRYPT_DEBUG kernel configuration option description and dependency and rename it to CONFIG_AP_DEBUG - Convert sprintf() and snprintf() to sysfs_emit() in CIO code - Adjust indentation of RELOCS command build step - Make crypto performance counters upward compatible - Convert make_page_secure() and gmap_make_secure() to use folio - Rework channel-utilization-block (CUB) handling in preparation of introducing additional CUBs - Use attribute groups to simplify registration, removal and extension of measurement-related channel-path sysfs attributes - Add a per-channel-path binary "ext_measurement" sysfs attribute that provides access to extended channel-path measurement data - Export measurement data for all channel-measurement-groups (CMG), not only for a specific ones. This enables support of new CMG data formats in userspace without the need for kernel changes - Add a per-channel-path sysfs attribute "speed_bps" that provides the operating speed in bits per second or 0 if the operating speed is not available - The CIO tracepoint subchannel-type field "st" is incorrectly set to the value of subchannel-enabled SCHIB "ena" field. Fix that - Do not forcefully limit vmemmap starting address to MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS - Consider the maximum physical address available to a DCSS segment (512GB) when memory layout is set up - Simplify the virtual memory layout setup by reducing the size of identity mapping vs vmemmap overlap - Swap vmalloc and Lowcore/Real Memory Copy areas in virtual memory. This will allow to place the kernel image next to kernel modules - Move everyting KASLR related from <asm/setup.h> to <asm/page.h> - Put virtual memory layout information into a structure to improve code generation - Currently __kaslr_offset is the kernel offset in both physical and virtual memory spaces. Uncouple these offsets to allow uncoupling of the addresses spaces - Currently the identity mapping base address is implicit and is always set to zero. Make it explicit by putting into __identity_base persistent boot variable and use it in proper context - Introduce .amode31 section start and end macros AMODE31_START and AMODE31_END - Introduce OS_INFO entries that do not reference any data in memory, but rather provide only values - Store virtual memory layout in OS_INFO. It is read out by makedumpfile, crash and other tools - Store virtual memory layout in VMCORE_INFO. It is read out by crash and other tools when /proc/kcore device is used - Create additional PT_LOAD ELF program header that covers kernel image only, so that vmcore tools could locate kernel text and data when virtual and physical memory spaces are uncoupled - Uncouple physical and virtual address spaces - Map kernel at fixed location when KASLR mode is disabled. The location is defined by CONFIG_KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE kernel configuration value. - Rework deployment of kernel image for both compressed and uncompressed variants as defined by CONFIG_KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED kernel configuration value - Move .vmlinux.relocs section in front of the compressed kernel. The interim section rescue step is avoided as result - Correct modules thunk offset calculation when branch target is more than 2GB away - Kernel modules contain their own set of expoline thunks. Now that the kernel modules area is less than 4GB away from kernel expoline thunks, make modules use kernel expolines. Also make EXPOLINE_EXTERN the default if the compiler supports it - userfaultfd can insert shared zeropages into processes running VMs, but that is not allowed for s390. Fallback to allocating a fresh zeroed anonymous folio and insert that instead - Re-enable shared zeropages for non-PV and non-skeys KVM guests - Rename hex2bitmap() to ap_hex2bitmap() and export it for external use - Add ap_config sysfs attribute to provide the means for setting or displaying adapters, domains and control domains assigned to a vfio-ap mediated device in a single operation - Make vfio_ap_mdev_link_queue() ignore duplicate link requests - Add write support to ap_config sysfs attribute to allow atomic update a vfio-ap mediated device state - Document ap_config sysfs attribute - Function os_info_old_init() is expected to be called only from a regular kdump kernel. Enable it to be called from a stand-alone dump kernel - Address gcc -Warray-bounds warning and fix array size in struct os_info - s390 does not support SMBIOS, so drop unneeded CONFIG_DMI checks - Use unwinder instead of __builtin_return_address() with ftrace to prevent returning of undefined values - Sections .hash and .gnu.hash are only created when CONFIG_PIE_BUILD kernel is enabled.

NMI watchdog permanently consumes one hardware counters per CPU on the system. For systems that use many hardware counters, this causes more aggressive time multiplexing of perf events. OTOH, some CPUs (mostly Intel) support "ref-cycles" event, which is rarely used. Add kernel cmdline arg nmi_watchdog=rNNN to configure the watchdog to use raw event. For example, on Intel CPUs, we can use "r300" to configure the watchdog to use ref-cycles event. If the raw event does not work, fall back to use "cycles".

PCI/ASPM: Clarify that pcie_aspm=off means leave ASPM untouched
Previously we claimed "pcie_aspm=off" meant that ASPM would be disabled, which is wrong. Correct this to say that with "pcie_aspm=off", Linux doesn't touch any ASPM configuration at all. ASPM may have been enabled by firmware, and that will be left unchanged. See "aspm_support_enabled".

Implements the "init_mlocked_on_free" boot option. When this boot option
is enabled, any mlock'ed pages are zeroed on free. If
the pages are munlock'ed beforehand, no initialization takes place.
This boot option is meant to combat the performance hit of

cpu: Ignore "mitigations" kernel parameter if CPU_MITIGATIONS=n
Explicitly disallow enabling mitigations at runtime for kernels that were built with CONFIG_CPU_MITIGATIONS=n, as some architectures may omit code entirely if mitigations are disabled at compile time. E.g. on x86, a large pile of Kconfigs are buried behind CPU_MITIGATIONS, and trying to provide sane behavior for retroactively enabling mitigations is extremely difficult, bordering on impossible. E.g. page table isolation and call depth tracking require build-time support, BHI mitigations will still be off without additional kernel parameters, etc. [ bp: Touchups. ] Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov (AMD) <bp@alien8.de> Acked-by: Borislav Petkov (AMD) <bp@alien8.de> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240420000556.2645001-3-seanjc@google.com |

s390: Map kernel at fixed location when KASLR is disabled
Since kernel virtual and physical address spaces are uncoupled the kernel is mapped at the top of the virtual address space in case KASLR is disabled. That does not pose any issue with regard to the kernel booting and operation, but makes it difficult to use a generated vmlinux with some debugging tools (e.g. gdb), because the exact location of the kernel image in virtual memory is unknown. Make that location known and introduce CONFIG_KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE configuration option. A custom CONFIG_KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE value that would break the virtual memory layout leads to a build error. The kernel image size is defined by KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE macro and set to 512 MB, by analogy with x86.

rcu: Reduce synchronize_rcu() latency
A call to a synchronize_rcu() can be optimized from a latency point of view. Workloads which depend on this can benefit of it. The delay of wakeme_after_rcu() callback, which unblocks a waiter, depends on several factors: - how fast a process of offloading is started. Combination of: - !CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU/CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU; - !CONFIG_RCU_LAZY/CONFIG_RCU_LAZY; - other. - when started, invoking path is interrupted due to: - time limit; - need_resched(); - if limit is reached. - where in a nocb list it is located; - how fast previous callbacks completed; Example: 1. On our embedded devices i can easily trigger the scenario when it is a last in the list out of ~3600 callbacks: <snip> <...>-29 [001] d..1. 21950.145313: rcu_batch_start: rcu_preempt CBs=3613 bl=28 ... <...>-29 [001] ..... 21950.152578: rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=00000000b2d6dee8 func=__free_vm_area_struct.cfi_jt <...>-29 [001] ..... 21950.152579: rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=00000000a446f607 func=__free_vm_area_struct.cfi_jt <...>-29 [001] ..... 21950.152580: rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=00000000a5cab03b func=__free_vm_area_struct.cfi_jt <...>-29 [001] ..... 21950.152581: rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0000000013b7e5ee func=__free_vm_area_struct.cfi_jt <...>-29 [001] ..... 21950.152582: rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=000000000a8ca6f9 func=__free_vm_area_struct.cfi_jt <...>-29 [001] ..... 21950.152583: rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=000000008f162ca8 func=wakeme_after_rcu.cfi_jt <...>-29 [001] d..1. 21950.152625: rcu_batch_end: rcu_preempt CBs-invoked=3612 idle=.... <snip> 2. We use cpuset/cgroup to classify tasks and assign them into different cgroups. For example "backgrond" group which binds tasks only to little CPUs or "foreground" which makes use of all CPUs. Tasks can be migrated between groups by a request if an acceleration is needed. See below an example how "surfaceflinger" task gets migrated. Initially it is located in the "system-background" cgroup which allows to run only on little cores. In order to speed it up it can be temporary moved into "foreground" cgroup which allows to use big/all CPUs: cgroup_attach_task(): -> cgroup_migrate_execute() -> cpuset_can_attach() -> percpu_down_write() -> rcu_sync_enter() -> synchronize_rcu() -> now move tasks to the new cgroup. -> cgroup_migrate_finish() <snip> rcuop/1-29 [000] ..... 7030.528570: rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=00000000461605e0 func=wakeme_after_rcu.cfi_jt PERFD-SERVER-1855 [000] d..1. 7030.530293: cgroup_attach_task: dst_root=3 dst_id=22 dst_level=1 dst_path=/foreground pid=1900 comm=surfaceflinger TimerDispatch-2768 [002] d..5. 7030.537542: sched_migrate_task: comm=surfaceflinger pid=1900 prio=98 orig_cpu=0 dest_cpu=4 <snip> "Boosting a task" depends on synchronize_rcu() latency: - first trace shows a completion of synchronize_rcu(); - second shows attaching a task to a new group; - last shows a final step when migration occurs. 3. To address this drawback, maintain a separate track that consists of synchronize_rcu() callers only. After completion of a grace period users are deferred to a dedicated worker to process requests. 4. This patch reduces the latency of synchronize_rcu() approximately by ~30-40% on synthetic tests. The real test case, camera launch time, shows(time is in milliseconds): 1-run 542 vs 489 improvement 9% 2-run 540 vs 466 improvement 13% 3-run 518 vs 468 improvement 9% 4-run 531 vs 457 improvement 13% 5-run 548 vs 475 improvement 13% 6-run 509 vs 484 improvement 4% Synthetic test(no "noise" from other callbacks): Hardware: x86_64 64 CPUs, 64GB of memory Linux-6.6 - 10K tasks(simultaneous); - each task does(1000 loops) synchronize_rcu(); kfree(p); default: CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU: takes 54 seconds to complete all users; patch: CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU: takes 35 seconds to complete all users. Running 60K gives approximately same results on my setup. Please note it is without any interaction with another type of callbacks, otherwise it will impact a lot a default case. 5. By default it is disabled.

x86 mitigations for the native BHI hardware vulnerabilty:
Branch History Injection (BHI) attacks may allow a malicious application to influence indirect branch prediction in kernel by poisoning the branch history. eIBRS isolates indirect branch targets in ring0. The BHB can still influence the choice of indirect branch predictor entry, and although branch predictor entries are isolated between modes when eIBRS is enabled, the BHB itself is not isolated between modes. Add mitigations against it either with the help of microcode or with software sequences for the affected CPUs. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJHBAABCgAxFiEEQp8+kY+LLUocC4bMphj1TA10mKEFAmYUKPMTHHRnbHhAbGlu dXRyb25peC5kZQAKCRCmGPVMDXSYofT8EACJJix+GzGUcJjOvfWFZcxwziY152hO 5XSzHOZZL6oz5Yk/Rye/S9RVTN7aDjn1CEvI0cD/ULxaTP869sS9dDdUcHhEJ//5 6hjqWsWiKc1QmLjBy3Pcb97GZHQXM5a9D1f6jXnJD+0FMLbQHpzSEBit0H4tv/TC 75myGgYihvUbhN9/bL10M5fz+UADU42nChvPWDMr9ukljjCqa46tPTmKUIAW5TWj /xsyf+Nk+4kZpdaidKGhpof6KCV2rNeevvzUGN8Pv5y13iAmvlyplqTcQ6dlubnZ CuDX5Ji9spNF9WmhKpLgy5N+Ocb64oVHov98N2zw1sT1N8XOYcSM0fBj7SQIFURs L7T4jBZS+1c3ZGJPPFWIaGjV8w1ZMhelglwJxjY7ZgRD6fK3mwRx/ks54J8H4HjE FbirXaZLeKlscDIOKtnxxKoIGwpdGwLKQYi/wEw7F9NhCLSj9wMia+j3uYIUEEHr 6xEiYEtyjcV3ocxagH7eiHyrasOKG64vjx2h1XodusBA2Wrvgm/jXlchUu+wb6B4 LiiZJt+DmOdQ1h5j3r2rt3hw7+nWa7kyq34qfN6NSUCHiedp6q7BClueSaKiOCGk RoNibNiS+CqaxwGxj/RGuvajEJeEMCsLuCxzT3aeaDBsqscW6Ka/HkGA76Tpb5nJ E3JyjYE7AlG4rw== =W0W3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'nativebhi' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 mitigations from Thomas Gleixner: "Mitigations for the native BHI hardware vulnerabilty: Branch History Injection (BHI) attacks may allow a malicious application to influence indirect branch prediction in kernel by poisoning the branch history. eIBRS isolates indirect branch targets in ring0.

Tracing updates for 6.9:
Main user visible change: - User events can now have "multi formats" The current user events have a single format. If another event is created with a different format, it will fail to be created. That is, once an event name is used, it cannot be used again with a different format. This can cause issues if a library is using an event and updates its format. An application using the older format will prevent an application using the new library from registering its event. A task could also DOS another application if it knows the event names, and it creates events with different formats. The multi-format event is in a different name space from the single format. Both the event name and its format are the unique identifier. This will allow two different applications to use the same user event name but with different payloads. - Added support to have ftrace_dump_on_oops dump out instances and not just the main top level tracing buffer. Other changes: - Add eventfs_root_inode Only the root inode has a dentry that is static (never goes away) and stores it upon creation. There's no reason that the thousands of other eventfs inodes should have a pointer that never gets set in its descriptor. Create a eventfs_root_inode desciptor that has a eventfs_inode descriptor and a dentry pointer, and only the root inode will use this. - Added WARN_ON()s in eventfs There's some conditionals remaining in eventfs that should never be hit, but instead of removing them, add WARN_ON() around them to make sure that they are never hit. - Have saved_cmdlines allocation also include the map_cmdline_to_pid array The saved_cmdlines structure allocates a large amount of data to hold its mappings. Within it, it has three arrays. Two are already apart of it: map_pid_to_cmdline[] and saved_cmdlines[]. More memory can be saved by also including the map_cmdline_to_pid[] array as well. - Restructure __string() and __assign_str() macros used in TRACE_EVENT(). Dynamic strings in TRACE_EVENT() are declared with: __string(name, source) And assigned with: __assign_str(name, source) In the tracepoint callback of the event, the __string() is used to get the size needed to allocate on the ring buffer and __assign_str() is used to copy the string into the ring buffer. There's a helper structure that is created in the TRACE_EVENT() macro logic that will hold the string length and its position in the ring buffer which is created by __string(). There are several trace events that have a function to create the string to save. This function is executed twice. Once for __string() and again for __assign_str(). There's no reason for this. The helper structure could also save the string it used in __string() and simply copy that into __assign_str() (it also already has its length). By using the structure to store the source string for the assignment, it means that the second argument to __assign_str() is no longer needed. It will be removed in the next merge window, but for now add a warning if the source string given to __string() is different than the source string given to __assign_str(), as the source to __assign_str() isn't even used and will be going away. - Added checks to make sure that the source of __string() is also the source of __assign_str() so that it can be safely removed in the next merge window.

tracing: Support to dump instance traces by ftrace_dump_on_oops
Currently ftrace only dumps the global trace buffer on an OOPs. For debugging a production usecase, instance trace will be helpful to check specific problems since global trace buffer may be used for other purposes. This patch extend the ftrace_dump_on_oops parameter to dump a specific or multiple trace instances: - ftrace_dump_on_oops=0: as before -- don't dump - ftrace_dump_on_oops[=1]: as before -- dump the global trace buffer on all CPUs - ftrace_dump_on_oops=2 or =orig_cpu: as before -- dump the global trace buffer on CPU that triggered the oops - ftrace_dump_on_oops=<instance_name>: new behavior -- dump the tracing instance matching <instance_name> - ftrace_dump_on_oops[=2/orig_cpu],<instance1_name>[=2/orig_cpu], <instrance2_name>[=2/orig_cpu]: new behavior -- dump the global trace buffer and multiple instance buffer on all CPUs, or only dump on CPU that triggered the oops if =2 or =orig_cpu is given Also, the sysctl node can handle the input accordingly.

This results in a 3.5% performance improvement on the "perf bench sched messaging" test. - Kernel boot parameters cleanup after SLAB removal (Xiongwei Song) Due to two different main slab implementations we've had boot parameters prefixed either slab_ and slub_ with some later becoming an alias as both implementations gained the same functionality (i.e. slab_nomerge vs slub_nomerge). In order to eventually get rid of the implementation-specific names, the canonical and documented parameters are now all prefixed slab_ and the slub_ variants become deprecated but still working aliases. - SLAB_ kmem_cache creation flags cleanup (Vlastimil Babka) The flags had hardcoded #define values which became tedious and error-prone when adding new ones. Assign the values via an enum that takes care of providing unique bit numbers. Also deprecate SLAB_MEM_SPREAD which was only used by SLAB, so it's a no-op since SLAB removal. Assign it an explicit zero value. The removals of the flag usage are handled independently in the respective subsystems, with a final removal of any leftover usage planned for the next release. - Misc cleanups and fixes (Chengming Zhou, Xiaolei Wang, Zheng Yejian) Includes removal of unused code or function parameters and a fix of a memleak. * tag 'slab-for-6.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab: slab: remove PARTIAL_NODE slab_state mm, slab: remove memcg_from_slab_obj() mm, slab: remove the corner case of inc_slabs_node() mm/slab: Fix a kmemleak in kmem_cache_destroy() mm, slab, kasan: replace kasan_never_merge() with SLAB_NO_MERGE mm, slab: use an enum to define SLAB_ cache creation flags mm, slab: deprecate SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag mm, slab: fix the comment of cpu partial list mm, slab: remove unused object_size parameter in kmem_cache_flags() mm/slub: remove parameter 'flags' in create_kmalloc_caches() mm/slub: remove unused parameter in next_freelist_entry() mm/slub: remove full list manipulation for non-debug slab mm/slub: directly load freelist from cpu partial slab in the likely case mm/slub: make the description of slab_min_objects helpful in doc mm/slub: replace slub_$params with slab_$params in slub.rst mm/slub: unify all sl[au]b parameters with "slab_$param" Documentation: kernel-parameters: remove noaliencache |

Core x86 changes for v6.9:
- The biggest change is the rework of the percpu code, to support the 'Named Address Spaces' GCC feature, by Uros Bizjak: - This allows C code to access GS and FS segment relative memory via variables declared with such attributes, which allows the compiler to better optimize those accesses than the previous inline assembly code. - The series also includes a number of micro-optimizations for 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. - Fix/clean up __switch_to()'s broken but accidentally working handling of FPU switching - which also generates better code. - Propagate more RIP-relative addressing in assembly code, to generate slightly better code. - Rework the CPU mitigations Kconfig space to be less idiosyncratic, to make it easier for distros to follow & maintain these options. - Rework the x86 idle code to cure RCU violations and to clean up the logic. - Clean up the vDSO Makefile logic. - Misc cleanups and fixes. [ Please note that there's a higher number of merge commits in this branch (three) than is usual in x86 topic trees. This happened due to the long testing lifecycle of the percpu changes that involved 3 merge windows, which generated a longer history and various interactions with other core x86 changes that we felt better about to carry in a single branch. ] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJFBAABCgAvFiEEBpT5eoXrXCwVQwEKEnMQ0APhK1gFAmXvB0gRHG1pbmdvQGtl cm5lbC5vcmcACgkQEnMQ0APhK1jUqRAAqnEQPiabF5acQlHrwviX+cjSobDlqtH5 9q2AQy9qaEHapzD0XMOxvFye6XIvehGOGxSPvk6CoviSxBND8rb56lvnsEZuLeBV Bo5QSIL2x42Zrvo11iPHwgXZfTIusU90sBuKDRFkYBAxY3HK2naMDZe8MAsYCUE9 nwgHF8DDc/NYiSOXV8kosWoWpNIkoK/STyH5bvTQZMqZcwyZ49AIeP1jGZb/prbC e/rbnlrq5Eu6brpM7xo9kELO0Vhd34urV14KrrIpdkmUKytW2KIsyvW8D6fqgDBj NSaQLLcz0pCXbhF+8Nqvdh/1coR4L7Ymt08P1rfEjCsQgb/2WnSAGUQuC5JoGzaj ngkbFcZllIbD9gNzMQ1n4Aw5TiO+l9zxCqPC/r58Uuvstr+K9QKlwnp2+B3Q73Ft rojIJ04NJL6lCHdDgwAjTTks+TD2PT/eBWsDfJ/1pnUWttmv9IjMpnXD5sbHxoiU 2RGGKnYbxXczYdq/ALYDWM6JXpfnJZcXL3jJi0IDcCSsb92xRvTANYFHnTfyzGfw EHkhbF4e4Vy9f6QOkSP3CvW5H26BmZS9DKG0J9Il5R3u2lKdfbb5vmtUmVTqHmAD Ulo5cWZjEznlWCAYSI/aIidmBsp9OAEvYd+X7Z5SBIgTfSqV7VWHGt0BfA1heiVv F/mednG0gGc= =3v4F -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'x86-core-2024-03-11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull core x86 updates from Ingo Molnar: - The biggest change is the rework of the percpu code, to support the 'Named Address Spaces' GCC feature, by Uros Bizjak: - This allows C code to access GS and FS segment relative memory via variables declared with such attributes, which allows the compiler to better optimize those accesses than the previous inline assembly code. - The series also includes a number of micro-optimizations for 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. - Fix/clean up __switch_to()'s broken but accidentally working handling of FPU switching - which also generates better code - Propagate more RIP-relative addressing in assembly code, to generate slightly better code - Rework the CPU mitigations Kconfig space to be less idiosyncratic, to make it easier for distros to follow & maintain these options - Rework the x86 idle code to cure RCU violations and to clean up the logic - Clean up the vDSO Makefile logic - Misc cleanups and fixes * tag 'x86-core-2024-03-11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (52 commits) x86/idle: Select idle routine only once x86/idle: Let prefer_mwait_c1_over_halt() return bool x86/idle: Cleanup idle_setup() x86/idle: Clean up idle selection x86/idle: Sanitize X86_BUG_AMD_E400 handling sched/idle: Conditionally handle tick broadcast in default_idle_call() x86: Increase brk randomness entropy for 64-bit systems x86/vdso: Move vDSO to mmap region x86/vdso/kbuild: Group non-standard build attributes and primary object file rules together x86/vdso: Fix rethunk patching for vdso-image-{32,64}.o x86/retpoline: Ensure default return thunk isn't used at runtime x86/vdso: Use CONFIG_COMPAT_32 to specify vdso32 x86/vdso: Use $(addprefix ) instead of $(foreach ) x86/vdso: Simplify obj-y addition x86/vdso: Consolidate targets and clean-files x86/bugs: Rename CONFIG_RETHUNK => CONFIG_MITIGATION_RETHUNK x86/bugs: Rename CONFIG_CPU_SRSO => CONFIG_MITIGATION_SRSO x86/bugs: Rename CONFIG_CPU_IBRS_ENTRY => CONFIG_MITIGATION_IBRS_ENTRY x86/bugs: Rename CONFIG_CPU_UNRET_ENTRY => CONFIG_MITIGATION_UNRET_ENTRY x86/bugs: Rename CONFIG_SLS => CONFIG_MITIGATION_SLS ... |

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.

Rework of APIC enumeration and topology evaluation:
The current implementation has a couple of shortcomings: - It fails to handle hybrid systems correctly. - The APIC registration code which handles CPU number assignents is in the middle of the APIC code and detached from the topology evaluation. - The various mechanisms which enumerate APICs, ACPI, MPPARSE and guest specific ones, tweak global variables as they see fit or in case of XENPV just hack around the generic mechanisms completely. - The CPUID topology evaluation code is sprinkled all over the vendor code and reevaluates global variables on every hotplug operation. - There is no way to analyze topology on the boot CPU before bringing up the APs. This causes problems for infrastructure like PERF which needs to size certain aspects upfront or could be simplified if that would be possible. - The APIC admission and CPU number association logic is incomprehensible and overly complex and needs to be kept around after boot instead of completing this right after the APIC enumeration. This update addresses these shortcomings with the following changes: - Rework the CPUID evaluation code so it is common for all vendors and provides information about the APIC ID segments in a uniform way independent of the number of segments (Thread, Core, Module, ..., Die, Package) so that this information can be computed instead of rewriting global variables of dubious value over and over. - A few cleanups and simplifcations of the APIC, IO/APIC and related interfaces to prepare for the topology evaluation changes. - Seperation of the parser stages so the early evaluation which tries to find the APIC address can be seperately overridden from the late evaluation which enumerates and registers the local APIC as further preparation for sanitizing the topology evaluation. - A new registration and admission logic which - encapsulates the inner workings so that parsers and guest logic cannot longer fiddle in it - uses the APIC ID segments to build topology bitmaps at registration time - provides a sane admission logic - allows to detect the crash kernel case, where CPU0 does not run on the real BSP, automatically. This is required to prevent sending INIT/SIPI sequences to the real BSP which would reset the whole machine. This was so far handled by a tedious command line parameter, which does not even work in nested crash scenarios. - Associates CPU number after the enumeration completed and prevents the late registration of APICs, which was somehow tolerated before. - Converting all parsers and guest enumeration mechanisms over to the new interfaces. This allows to get rid of all global variable tweaking from the parsers and enumeration mechanisms and sanitizes the XEN[PV] handling so it can use CPUID evaluation for the first time. - Mopping up existing sins by taking the information from the APIC ID segment bitmaps. This evaluates hybrid systems correctly on the boot CPU and allows for cleanups and fixes in the related drivers, e.g. PERF. The series has been extensively tested and the minimal late fallout due to a broken ACPI/MADT table has been addressed by tightening the admission logic further. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJHBAABCgAxFiEEQp8+kY+LLUocC4bMphj1TA10mKEFAmXuDawTHHRnbHhAbGlu dXRyb25peC5kZQAKCRCmGPVMDXSYobE7EACngItF+UOTCoCV6och2lL6HVoIdZD1 Y5oaAgD+WzQSz/lBkH6b9kZSyvjlMo6O9GlnGX+ii+VUnijDp4VrspnxbJDaKEq3 gOfsSg2Tk+ps50HqMcZawjjBYJb/TmvKwEV2XuzIBPOONSWLNjvN7nBSzLl1eF9/ 8uCE39/8aB5K3GXryRyXdo2uLu6eHTVC0aYFu/kLX1/BbVqF5NMD3sz9E9w8+D/U MIIMEMXy4Fn+P2o0vVH+gjUlwI76mJbB1WqCX/sqbVacXrjl3KfNJRiisTFIOOYV 8o+rIV0ef5X9xmZqtOXAdyZQzj++Gwmz9+4TU1M4YHtS7UkYn6AluOjvVekCc+gc qXE3WhqKfCK2/carRMLQxAMxNeRylkZG+Wuv1Qtyjpe9JX2dTqtems0f4DMp9DKf b7InO3z39kJanpqcUG2Sx+GWanetfnX+0Ho2Moqu6Xi+2ATr1PfMG/Wyr5/WWOfV qApaHSTwa+J43mSzP6BsXngEv085EHSGM5tPe7u46MCYFqB21+bMl+qH82KjMkOe c6uZovFQMmX2WBlqJSYGVCH+Jhgvqq8HFeRs19Hd4enOt3e6LE3E74RBVD1AyfLV 1b/m8tYB/o871ZlEZwDCGVrV/LNnA7PxmFpq5ZHLpUt39g2/V0RH1puBVz1e97pU YsTT7hBCUYzgjQ== =/5oR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'x86-apic-2024-03-10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 APIC updates from Thomas Gleixner: "Rework of APIC enumeration and topology evaluation.

A large set of updates and features for timers and timekeeping:
- The hierarchical timer pull model When timer wheel timers are armed they are placed into the timer wheel of a CPU which is likely to be busy at the time of expiry. This is done to avoid wakeups on potentially idle CPUs. This is wrong in several aspects: 1) The heuristics to select the target CPU are wrong by definition as the chance to get the prediction right is close to zero. 2) Due to #1 it is possible that timers are accumulated on a single target CPU 3) The required computation in the enqueue path is just overhead for dubious value especially under the consideration that the vast majority of timer wheel timers are either canceled or rearmed before they expire. The timer pull model avoids the above by removing the target computation on enqueue and queueing timers always on the CPU on which they get armed. This is achieved by having separate wheels for CPU pinned timers and global timers which do not care about where they expire. As long as a CPU is busy it handles both the pinned and the global timers which are queued on the CPU local timer wheels. When a CPU goes idle it evaluates its own timer wheels: - If the first expiring timer is a pinned timer, then the global timers can be ignored as the CPU will wake up before they expire. - If the first expiring timer is a global timer, then the expiry time is propagated into the timer pull hierarchy and the CPU makes sure to wake up for the first pinned timer. The timer pull hierarchy organizes CPUs in groups of eight at the lowest level and at the next levels groups of eight groups up to the point where no further aggregation of groups is required, i.e. the number of levels is log8(NR_CPUS). The magic number of eight has been established by experimention, but can be adjusted if needed. In each group one busy CPU acts as the migrator. It's only one CPU to avoid lock contention on remote timer wheels. The migrator CPU checks in its own timer wheel handling whether there are other CPUs in the group which have gone idle and have global timers to expire. If there are global timers to expire, the migrator locks the remote CPU timer wheel and handles the expiry. Depending on the group level in the hierarchy this handling can require to walk the hierarchy downwards to the CPU level. Special care is taken when the last CPU goes idle. At this point the CPU is the systemwide migrator at the top of the hierarchy and it therefore cannot delegate to the hierarchy. It needs to arm its own timer device to expire either at the first expiring timer in the hierarchy or at the first CPU local timer, which ever expires first. This completely removes the overhead from the enqueue path, which is e.g. for networking a true hotpath and trades it for a slightly more complex idle path. This has been in development for a couple of years and the final series has been extensively tested by various teams from silicon vendors and ran through extensive CI. There have been slight performance improvements observed on network centric workloads and an Intel team confirmed that this allows them to power down a die completely on a mult-die socket for the first time in a mostly idle scenario. There is only one outstanding ~1.5% regression on a specific overloaded netperf test which is currently investigated, but the rest is either positive or neutral performance wise and positive on the power management side. - Fixes for the timekeeping interpolation code for cross-timestamps: cross-timestamps are used for PTP to get snapshots from hardware timers and interpolated them back to clock MONOTONIC. The changes address a few corner cases in the interpolation code which got the math and logic wrong. - Simplifcation of the clocksource watchdog retry logic to automatically adjust to handle larger systems correctly instead of having more incomprehensible command line parameters. - Treewide consolidation of the VDSO data structures. - The usual small improvements and cleanups all over the place. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJHBAABCgAxFiEEQp8+kY+LLUocC4bMphj1TA10mKEFAmXuAN0THHRnbHhAbGlu dXRyb25peC5kZQAKCRCmGPVMDXSYoVKXEADIR45rjR1Xtz32js7B53Y65O4WNoOQ 6/ycWcswuGzg/h4QUpPSJ6gOGVmKSWwZi4n0P/VadCiXGSPPm0aUKsoRUt9DZsPY mtj2wjCSXKXiyhTl9OtrZME86ZAIGO1dQXa/sOHsiP5PCjgQkD0b5CYi1+B6eHDt 1/Uo2Tb9g8VAPppq20V5Uo93GrPf642oyi3FCFrR1M112Uuak5DmqHJYiDpreNcG D5SgI+ykSiaUaVyHifvqijoJk0rYXkqEC6evl02477lJ/X0vVo2/M8XPS95BxHST s5Iruo4rP+qeAy8QvhZpoPX59fO0m/AgA7cf77XXAtOpVdLH+bs4ILsEbouAIOtv lsmRkcYt+TpvrZFHPAxks+6g3afuROiDtxD5sXXpVWxvofi8FwWqubdlqdsbw9MP ZCTNyzNyKL47QeDwBfSynYUL1RSyqsphtIwk4oeQklH9rwMAnW21hi30z15hQ0pQ FOVkmcwi79JNvl/G+jRkDzw7r8/zcHshWdSjyUM04CDjjnCDjQOFWSIjEPwbQjjz S4HXpJKJW963dBgs9Z84/Ctw1GwoBk1qedDWDJE1257Qvmo/Wpe/7GddWcazOGnN RRFMzGPbOqBDbjtErOKGU+iCisgNEvz2XK+TI16uRjWde7DxZpiTVYgNDrZ+/Pyh rQ23UBms6ZRR+A== =iQlu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'timers-core-2024-03-10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner: "A large set of updates and features for timers and timekeeping: - The hierarchical timer pull model When timer wheel timers are armed they are placed into the timer wheel of a CPU which is likely to be busy at the time of expiry.

There is only one outstanding ~1.5% regression on a specific overloaded netperf test which is currently investigated, but the rest is either positive or neutral performance wise and positive on the power management side. - Fixes for the timekeeping interpolation code for cross-timestamps: cross-timestamps are used for PTP to get snapshots from hardware timers and interpolated them back to clock MONOTONIC.

x86/rfds: Mitigate Register File Data Sampling (RFDS)
RFDS is a CPU vulnerability that may allow userspace to infer kernel stale data previously used in floating point registers, vector registers and integer registers. RFDS only affects certain Intel Atom processors. Intel released a microcode update that uses VERW instruction to clear the affected CPU buffers. Unlike MDS, none of the affected cores support SMT. Add RFDS bug infrastructure and enable the VERW based mitigation by default, that clears the affected buffers just before exiting to userspace. Also add sysfs reporting and cmdline parameter "reg_file_data_sampling" to control the mitigation.

drm/edid/firmware: Remove built-in EDIDs
The EDID firmware loading mechanism introduced a few built-in EDIDs that could be forced on any connector, bypassing the EDIDs it exposes. While convenient, this limited set of EDIDs doesn't take into account the connector type, and we can end up with an EDID that is completely invalid for a given connector. For example, the edid/800x600.bin file matches the following EDID: edid-decode (hex): 00 ff ff ff ff ff ff 00 31 d8 00 00 00 00 00 00 05 16 01 03 6d 1b 14 78 ea 5e c0 a4 59 4a 98 25 20 50 54 01 00 00 45 40 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 a0 0f 20 00 31 58 1c 20 28 80 14 00 15 d0 10 00 00 1e 00 00 00 ff 00 4c 69 6e 75 78 20 23 30 0a 20 20 20 20 00 00 00 fd 00 3b 3d 24 26 05 00 0a 20 20 20 20 20 20 00 00 00 fc 00 4c 69 6e 75 78 20 53 56 47 41 0a 20 20 00 c2 ---------------- Block 0, Base EDID: EDID Structure Version & Revision: 1.3 Vendor & Product Identification: Manufacturer: LNX Model: 0 Made in: week 5 of 2012 Basic Display Parameters & Features: Analog display Signal Level Standard: 0.700 : 0.000 : 0.700 V p-p Blank level equals black level Sync: Separate Composite Serration Maximum image size: 27 cm x 20 cm Gamma: 2.20 DPMS levels: Standby Suspend Off RGB color display First detailed timing is the preferred timing Color Characteristics: Red : 0.6416, 0.3486 Green: 0.2919, 0.5957 Blue : 0.1474, 0.1250 White: 0.3125, 0.3281 Established Timings I & II: DMT 0x09: 800x600 60.316541 Hz 4:3 37.879 kHz 40.000000 MHz Standard Timings: DMT 0x09: 800x600 60.316541 Hz 4:3 37.879 kHz 40.000000 MHz Detailed Timing Descriptors: DTD 1: 800x600 60.316541 Hz 4:3 37.879 kHz 40.000000 MHz (277 mm x 208 mm) Hfront 40 Hsync 128 Hback 88 Hpol P Vfront 1 Vsync 4 Vback 23 Vpol P Display Product Serial Number: 'Linux #0' Display Range Limits: Monitor ranges (GTF): 59-61 Hz V, 36-38 kHz H, max dotclock 50 MHz Display Product Name: 'Linux SVGA' Checksum: 0xc2 So, an analog monitor EDID. However, if the connector was an HDMI monitor for example, it breaks the HDMI specification that requires, among other things, a digital display, the VIC 1 mode and an HDMI Forum Vendor Specific Data Block in an CTA-861 extension. We thus end up with a completely invalid EDID, which thus might confuse HDMI-related code that could parse it. After some discussions on IRC, we identified mainly two ways to fix this: - We can either create more EDIDs for each connector type to provide a built-in EDID that matches the resolution passed in the name, and still be a sensible EDID for that connector type; - Or we can just prevent the EDID to be exposed to userspace if it's built-in. Or possibly both. However, the conclusion was that maybe we just don't need the built-in EDIDs at all and we should just get rid of them. So here we are.

panic: add option to dump blocked tasks in panic_print
For debugging kernel panics and other bugs, there is already an option of panic_print to dump all tasks' call stacks. On today's large servers running many containers, there could be thousands of tasks or more, and this will print out huge amount of call stacks, taking a lot of time (for serial console which is main target user case of panic_print). And in many cases, only those several tasks being blocked are key for the panic, so add an option to only dump blocked tasks' call stacks.

PM: hibernate: Support to select compression algorithm
Currently the default compression algorithm is selected based on compile time options. Introduce a module parameter "hibernate.compressor" to override this behaviour. Different compression algorithms have different characteristics and hibernation may benefit when it uses any of these algorithms, especially when a secondary algorithm(LZ4) offers better decompression speeds over a default algorithm(LZO), which in turn reduces hibernation image restore time. Users can override the default algorithm in two ways: 1) Passing "hibernate.compressor" as kernel command line parameter. Usage: LZO: hibernate.compressor=lzo LZ4: hibernate.compressor=lz4 2) Specifying the algorithm at runtime. Usage: LZO: echo lzo > /sys/module/hibernate/parameters/compressor LZ4: echo lz4 > /sys/module/hibernate/parameters/compressor Currently LZO and LZ4 are the supported algorithms. LZO is the default compression algorithm used with hibernation. Signed-off-by: Nikhil V <quic_nprakash@quicinc.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com> |

workqueue: Control intensive warning threshold through cmdline
When CONFIG_WQ_CPU_INTENSIVE_REPORT is set, the kernel will report the work functions which violate the intensive_threshold_us repeatedly. And now, only when the violate times exceed 4 and is a power of 2, the kernel warning could be triggered. However, sometimes, even if a long work execution time occurs only once, it may cause other work to be delayed for a long time. This may also cause some problems sometimes. In order to freely control the threshold of warninging, a boot argument is added so that the user can control the warning threshold to be printed. At the same time, keep the exponential backoff to prevent reporting too much. By default, the warning threshold is 4. tj: Updated kernel-parameters.txt description.

clocksource: Scale the watchdog read retries automatically
On a 8-socket server the TSC is wrongly marked as 'unstable' and disabled during boot time on about one out of 120 boot attempts: clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU227: wd-tsc-wd excessive read-back delay of 153560ns vs. limit of 125000ns, wd-wd read-back delay only 11440ns, attempt 3, marking tsc unstable tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to clocksource watchdog TSC found unstable after boot, most likely due to broken BIOS. Use 'tsc=unstable'. sched_clock: Marking unstable (119294969739, 159204297)<-(125446229205, -5992055152) clocksource: Checking clocksource tsc synchronization from CPU 319 to CPUs 0,99,136,180,210,542,601,896. clocksource: Switched to clocksource hpet The reason is that for platform with a large number of CPUs, there are sporadic big or huge read latencies while reading the watchog/clocksource during boot or when system is under stress work load, and the frequency and maximum value of the latency goes up with the number of online CPUs. The cCurrent code already has logic to detect and filter such high latency case by reading the watchdog twice and checking the two deltas. Due to the randomness of the latency, there is a low probabilty that the first delta (latency) is big, but the second delta is small and looks valid. The watchdog code retries the readouts by default twice, which is not necessarily sufficient for systems with a large number of CPUs. There is a command line parameter 'max_cswd_read_retries' which allows to increase the number of retries, but that's not user friendly as it needs to be tweaked per system. As the number of required retries is proportional to the number of online CPUs, this parameter can be calculated at runtime. Scale and enlarge the number of retries according to the number of online CPUs and remove the command line parameter completely.

x86/cpu: Detect real BSP on crash kernels
When a kdump kernel is started from a crashing CPU then there is no guarantee that this CPU is the real boot CPU (BSP). If the kdump kernel tries to online the BSP then the INIT sequence will reset the machine. There is a command line option to prevent this, but in case of nested kdump kernels this is wrong. But that command line option is not required at all because the real BSP is enumerated as the first CPU by firmware. Support for the only known system which was different (Voyager) got removed long ago. Detect whether the boot CPU APIC ID is the first APIC ID enumerated by the firmware. If the first APIC ID enumerated is not matching the boot CPU APIC ID then skip registering it.

doc: Add EARLY flag to early-parsed kernel boot parameters

mm/slub: unify all sl[au]b parameters with "slab_$param"
Since the SLAB allocator has been removed, so we can clean up the sl[au]b_$params. With only one slab allocator left, it's better to use the generic "slab" term instead of "slub" which is an implementation detail, which is pointed out by Vlastimil Babka. For more information please see [1]. Hence, we are going to use "slab_$param" as the primary prefix. This patch is changing the following slab parameters - slub_max_order - slub_min_order - slub_min_objects - slub_debug to - slab_max_order - slab_min_order - slab_min_objects - slab_debug as the primary slab parameters for all references of them in docs and comments. But this patch won't change variables and functions inside slub as we will have wider slub/slab change. Meanwhile, "slub_$params" can also be passed by command line, which is to keep backward compatibility. Also mark all "slub_$params" as legacy. Remove the separate descriptions for slub_[no]merge, append legacy tip for them at the end of descriptions of slab_[no]merge.

Driver core changes for 6.8-rc1

Generic:
- Use memdup_array_user() to harden against overflow. - Unconditionally advertise KVM_CAP_DEVICE_CTRL for all architectures. - Clean up Kconfigs that all KVM architectures were selecting - New functionality around "guest_memfd", a new userspace API that creates an anonymous file and returns a file descriptor that refers to it. guest_memfd files are bound to their owning virtual machine, cannot be mapped, read, or written by userspace, and cannot be resized. guest_memfd files do however support PUNCH_HOLE, which can be used to switch a memory area between guest_memfd and regular anonymous memory. - New ioctl KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES allowing userspace to specify per-page attributes for a given page of guest memory; right now the only attribute is whether the guest expects to access memory via guest_memfd or not, which in Confidential SVMs backed by SEV-SNP, TDX or ARM64 pKVM is checked by firmware or hypervisor that guarantees confidentiality (AMD PSP, Intel TDX module, or EL2 in the case of pKVM). x86: - Support for "software-protected VMs" that can use the new guest_memfd and page attributes infrastructure. This is mostly useful for testing, since there is no pKVM-like infrastructure to provide a meaningfully reduced TCB. - Fix a relatively benign off-by-one error when splitting huge pages during CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG. - Fix a bug where KVM could incorrectly test-and-clear dirty bits in non-leaf TDP MMU SPTEs if a racing thread replaces a huge SPTE with a non-huge SPTE. - Use more generic lockdep assertions in paths that don't actually care about whether the caller is a reader or a writer. - let Xen guests opt out of having PV clock reported as "based on a stable TSC", because some of them don't expect the "TSC stable" bit (added to the pvclock ABI by KVM, but never set by Xen) to be set. - Revert a bogus, made-up nested SVM consistency check for TLB_CONTROL. - Advertise flush-by-ASID support for nSVM unconditionally, as KVM always flushes on nested transitions, i.e. always satisfies flush requests. This allows running bleeding edge versions of VMware Workstation on top of KVM. - Sanity check that the CPU supports flush-by-ASID when enabling SEV support. - On AMD machines with vNMI, always rely on hardware instead of intercepting IRET in some cases to detect unmasking of NMIs - Support for virtualizing Linear Address Masking (LAM) - Fix a variety of vPMU bugs where KVM fail to stop/reset counters and other state prior to refreshing the vPMU model. - Fix a double-overflow PMU bug by tracking emulated counter events using a dedicated field instead of snapshotting the "previous" counter. If the hardware PMC count triggers overflow that is recognized in the same VM-Exit that KVM manually bumps an event count, KVM would pend PMIs for both the hardware-triggered overflow and for KVM-triggered overflow. - Turn off KVM_WERROR by default for all configs so that it's not inadvertantly enabled by non-KVM developers, which can be problematic for subsystems that require no regressions for W=1 builds. - Advertise all of the host-supported CPUID bits that enumerate IA32_SPEC_CTRL "features". - Don't force a masterclock update when a vCPU synchronizes to the current TSC generation, as updating the masterclock can cause kvmclock's time to "jump" unexpectedly, e.g. when userspace hotplugs a pre-created vCPU. - Use RIP-relative address to read kvm_rebooting in the VM-Enter fault paths, partly as a super minor optimization, but mostly to make KVM play nice with position independent executable builds. - Guard KVM-on-HyperV's range-based TLB flush hooks with an #ifdef on CONFIG_HYPERV as a minor optimization, and to self-document the code. - Add CONFIG_KVM_HYPERV to allow disabling KVM support for HyperV "emulation" at build time. ARM64: - LPA2 support, adding 52bit IPA/PA capability for 4kB and 16kB base granule sizes. Branch shared with the arm64 tree. - Large Fine-Grained Trap rework, bringing some sanity to the feature, although there is more to come. This comes with a prefix branch shared with the arm64 tree. - Some additional Nested Virtualization groundwork, mostly introducing the NV2 VNCR support and retargetting the NV support to that version of the architecture. - A small set of vgic fixes and associated cleanups. Loongarch: - Optimization for memslot hugepage checking - Cleanup and fix some HW/SW timer issues - Add LSX/LASX (128bit/256bit SIMD) support RISC-V: - KVM_GET_REG_LIST improvement for vector registers - Generate ISA extension reg_list using macros in get-reg-list selftest - Support for reporting steal time along with selftest s390: - Bugfixes Selftests: - Fix an annoying goof where the NX hugepage test prints out garbage instead of the magic token needed to run the test. - Fix build errors when a header is delete/moved due to a missing flag in the Makefile. - Detect if KVM bugged/killed a selftest's VM and print out a helpful message instead of complaining that a random ioctl() failed. - Annotate the guest printf/assert helpers with __printf(), and fix the various bugs that were lurking due to lack of said annotation. There are two non-KVM patches buried in the middle of guest_memfd support: fs: Rename anon_inode_getfile_secure() and anon_inode_getfd_secure() mm: Add AS_UNMOVABLE to mark mapping as completely unmovable The first is small and mostly suggested-by Christian Brauner; the second a bit less so but it was written by an mm person (Vlastimil Babka). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQFIBAABCAAyFiEE8TM4V0tmI4mGbHaCv/vSX3jHroMFAmWcMWkUHHBib256aW5p QHJlZGhhdC5jb20ACgkQv/vSX3jHroO15gf/WLmmg3SET6Uzw9iEq2xo28831ZA+ 6kpILfIDGKozV5safDmMvcInlc/PTnqOFrsKyyN4kDZ+rIJiafJdg/loE0kPXBML wdR+2ix5kYI1FucCDaGTahskBDz8Lb/xTpwGg9BFLYFNmuUeHc74o6GoNvr1uliE 4kLZL2K6w0cSMPybUD+HqGaET80ZqPwecv+s1JL+Ia0kYZJONJifoHnvOUJ7DpEi rgudVdgzt3EPjG0y1z6MjvDBXTCOLDjXajErlYuZD3Ej8N8s59Dh2TxOiDNTLdP4 a4zjRvDmgyr6H6sz+upvwc7f4M4p+DBvf+TkWF54mbeObHUYliStqURIoA== =66Ws -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini: "Generic: - Use memdup_array_user() to harden against overflow. - Unconditionally advertise KVM_CAP_DEVICE_CTRL for all architectures. - Clean up Kconfigs that all KVM architectures were selecting - New functionality around "guest_memfd", a new userspace API that creates an anonymous file and returns a file descriptor that refers to it. guest_memfd files are bound to their owning virtual machine, cannot be mapped, read, or written by userspace, and cannot be resized. guest_memfd files do however support PUNCH_HOLE, which can be used to switch a memory area between guest_memfd and regular anonymous memory. - New ioctl KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES allowing userspace to specify per-page attributes for a given page of guest memory; right now the only attribute is whether the guest expects to access memory via guest_memfd or not, which in Confidential SVMs backed by SEV-SNP, TDX or ARM64 pKVM is checked by firmware or hypervisor that guarantees confidentiality (AMD PSP, Intel TDX module, or EL2 in the case of pKVM). x86: - Support for "software-protected VMs" that can use the new guest_memfd and page attributes infrastructure.

Another moderately busy cycle for documentation, including:
- The minimum Sphinx requirement has been raised to 2.4.4, following a warning that was added in 6.2. - Some reworking of the Documentation/process front page to, hopefully, make it more useful. - Various kernel-doc tweaks to, for example, make it deal properly with __counted_by annotations. - We have also restored a warning for documentation of nonexistent structure members that disappeared a while back. That had the delightful consequence of adding some 600 warnings to the docs build. A sustained effort by Randy, Vegard, and myself has addressed almost all of those, bringing the documentation back into sync with the code. The fixes are going through the appropriate maintainer trees. - Various improvements to the HTML rendered docs, including automatic links to Git revisions and a nice new pulldown to make translations easy to access. - Speaking of translations, more of those for Spanish and Chinese. ...plus the usual stream of documentation updates and typo fixes. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQFDBAABCAAtFiEEIw+MvkEiF49krdp9F0NaE2wMflgFAmWcRKMPHGNvcmJldEBs d24ubmV0AAoJEBdDWhNsDH5YTKIH/AxBt/3iWt40dPf18arZHLU6tdUbmg01ttef CNKWkniCmABGKc//KYDXvjZMRDt0YlrS0KgUzrb8nIQTBlZG40D+88EwjXE0HeGP xt1Fk7OPOiJEqBZ3HEe0PDVfOiA+4yR6CmDKklCJuKg77X9atklneBwPUw/cOASk CWj+BdbwPBiSNQv48Lp87rGusKwnH/g0MN2uS0z9MPr1DYjM1K8+ngZjGW24lZHt qs5yhP43mlZGBF/lwNJXQp/xhnKAqJ9XwylBX9Wmaoxaz9yyzNVsADGvROMudgzi 9YB+Jdy7Z0JSrVoLIRhUuDOv7aW8vk+8qLmGJt2aTIsqehbQ6pk= =fCtT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'docs-6.8' of git://git.lwn.net/linux Pull documentation update from Jonathan Corbet: "Another moderately busy cycle for documentation, including: - The minimum Sphinx requirement has been raised to 2.4.4, following a warning that was added in 6.2 - Some reworking of the Documentation/process front page to, hopefully, make it more useful - Various kernel-doc tweaks to, for example, make it deal properly with __counted_by annotations - We have also restored a warning for documentation of nonexistent structure members that disappeared a while back.

regulator: Updates for v6.8
The main updates for this release are around monitoring of regulators, largely for error handling purposes. We allow the stream of regulator events to be seen by userspace as netlink events and allow system integrators to describe individual regulators as system critical with information on how long the system is expected to last on error. The system level error handling is very much about best effort problem mitigation rather than providing something fully robust, the initial drive was to provide a mechanism for trying to avoid initiating any new writes to flash once we notice the power going out. Otherwise it's very quiet, mainly several new Qualcomm devices. - Support for marking regulators as system critical and providing information on how long the system might last with those regulators in a failure state, hooked into the existing critical shutdown error handling. - Optional support for generating netlink events for events, there are use cases for system monitoring UIs and error handling. - A command line option to leave unused controllable regulators enabled, useful for debugging. We already only disable regulators we were explicitly given permission to control. - Support for Quacomm MP5496, PM8010 and PM8937. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAABCgAdFiEEreZoqmdXGLWf4p/qJNaLcl1Uh9AFAmWbJAkACgkQJNaLcl1U h9AmPwf/SXOxx0sp8xfmt1iJU30dg0L/0MNETf76dPFmCR8Oy1G9PLUqyzNQkTRf bvDrLf9amRRhY4FDCT74VoEiGo7fcduHmjDfYbK/A8bwY1l1UDn0d7hLwgqoyydf p07JbJzCHXAc1PhhMMdgOfdcpYs1Tah91CXOIdbe36pwgGJ8jwodJFD55uhXTsUZ R4PcNs/M2A8rW8SaggopOEzDExdne/ZogpGwclTTWau0OIze2SuPVSsQfrOtAabY BIxaMYKU5tSRdAJOSBNaL9NssUYzyO4q4hXs3Cms1p8XQlzZOVfMZznefdNHoVnw VXlJyEvMREpg8ilwlz7KOyvyF7rshg== =DADk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'regulator-v6.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regulator Pull regulator updates from Mark Brown: "The main updates for this release are around monitoring of regulators, largely for error handling purposes.

RISC-V: paravirt: Add skeleton for pv-time support
Add the files and functions needed to support paravirt time on RISC-V. Also include the common code needed for the first application of pv-time, which is steal-time. In the next patches we'll complete the functions to fully enable steal-time support.

initramfs: Expose retained initrd as sysfs file
When the kernel command line option "retain_initrd" is set, we do not free the initrd memory. However, we also don't expose it to anyone for consumption. That leaves us in a weird situation where the only user of this feature is ppc64 and arm64 specific kexec tooling. To make it more generally useful, this patch adds a kobject to the firmware object that contains the initrd context when "retain_initrd" is set. That way, we can access the initrd any time after boot from user space and for example hand it into kexec as --initrd parameter if we want to reboot the same initrd. Or inspect it directly locally. With this patch applied, there is a new /sys/firmware/initrd file when the kernel was booted with an initrd and "retain_initrd" command line option is set.

rcu: Restrict access to RCU CPU stall notifiers
Although the RCU CPU stall notifiers can be useful for dumping state when tracking down delicate forward-progress bugs where NUMA effects cause cache lines to be delivered to a given CPU regularly, but always in a state that prevents that CPU from making forward progress. These bugs can be detected by the RCU CPU stall-warning mechanism, but in some cases, the stall-warnings printk()s disrupt the forward-progress bug before any useful state can be obtained. Unfortunately, the notifier mechanism added by commit |

usb: new quirk to reduce the SET_ADDRESS request timeout
This patch introduces a new USB quirk, USB_QUIRK_SHORT_SET_ADDRESS_REQ_TIMEOUT, which modifies the timeout value for the SET_ADDRESS request. The standard timeout for USB request/command is 5000 ms, as recommended in the USB 3.2 specification (section 9.2.6.1). However, certain scenarios, such as connecting devices through an APTIV hub, can lead to timeout errors when the device enumerates as full speed initially and later switches to high speed during chirp negotiation. In such cases, USB analyzer logs reveal that the bus suspends for 5 seconds due to incorrect chirp parsing and resumes only after two consecutive timeout errors trigger a hub driver reset. Packet(54) Dir(?) Full Speed J(997.100 us) Idle( 2.850 us) _______| Time Stamp(28 . 105 910 682) _______|_____________________________________________________________Ch0 Packet(55) Dir(?)

The newly introduced quirks provide the flexibility to align with a 3-second time limit, as required in specific contexts like automotive applications. By reducing the SET_ADDRESS request timeout to 500 ms, the system can respond more swiftly to errors, initiate rapid recovery, and ensure efficient device enumeration. This change is vital for scenarios where rapid smartphone enumeration and screen projection are essential.

regulator: core: Add option to prevent disabling unused regulators
This may be useful for debugging and develompent purposes, when there are drivers that depend on regulators to be enabled but do not request them. It is inspired from the clk_ignore_unused and pd_ignore_unused parameters, that are used to keep firmware-enabled clocks and power domains on even if these are not used by drivers. The parameter is not expected to be used in normal cases and should not be needed on a platform with proper driver support.

Major microcode loader restructuring, cleanup and improvements by Thomas
Gleixner: - Restructure the code needed for it and add a temporary initrd mapping on 32-bit so that the loader can access the microcode blobs. This in itself is a preparation for the next major improvement: - Do not load microcode on 32-bit before paging has been enabled. Handling this has caused an endless stream of headaches, issues, ugly code and unnecessary hacks in the past. And there really wasn't any sensible reason to do that in the first place. So switch the 32-bit loading to happen after paging has been enabled and turn the loader code "real purrty" again - Drop mixed microcode steppings loading on Intel - there, a single patch loaded on the whole system is sufficient - Rework late loading to track which CPUs have updated microcode successfully and which haven't, act accordingly - Move late microcode loading on Intel in NMI context in order to guarantee concurrent loading on all threads - Make the late loading CPU-hotplug-safe and have the offlined threads be woken up for the purpose of the update - Add support for a minimum revision which determines whether late microcode loading is safe on a machine and the microcode does not change software visible features which the machine cannot use anyway since feature detection has happened already. Roughly, the minimum revision is the smallest revision number which must be loaded currently on the system so that late updates can be allowed - Other nice leanups, fixess, etc all over the place -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCgAdFiEEzv7L6UO9uDPlPSfHEsHwGGHeVUoFAmVE0xkACgkQEsHwGGHe VUrCuBAAhOqqwkYPiGXPWd2hvdn1zGtD5fvEdXn3Orzd+Lwc6YaQTsCxCjIO/0ws 8inpPFuOeGz4TZcplzipi3G5oatPVc7ORDuW+/BvQQQljZOsSKfhiaC29t6dvS6z UG3sbCXKVwlJ5Kwv3Qe4eWur4Ex6GeFDZkIvBCmbaAdGPFlfu1i2uO1yBooNP1Rs GiUkp+dP1/KREWwR/dOIsHYL2QjWIWfHQEWit/9Bj46rxE9ERx/TWt3AeKPfKriO Wp0JKp6QY78jg6a0a2/JVmbT1BKz69Z9aPp6hl4P2MfbBYOnqijRhdezFW0NyqV2 pn6nsuiLIiXbnSOEw0+Wdnw5Q0qhICs5B5eaBfQrwgfZ8pxPHv2Ir777GvUTV01E Dv0ZpYsHa+mHe17nlK8V3+4eajt0PetExcXAYNiIE+pCb7pLjjKkl8e+lcEvEsO0 QSL3zG5i5RWUMPYUvaFRgepWy3k/GPIoDQjRcUD3P+1T0GmnogNN10MMNhmOzfWU pyafe4tJUOVsq0HJ7V/bxIHk2p+Q+5JLKh5xBm9janE4BpabmSQnvFWNblVfK4ig M9ohjI/yMtgXROC4xkNXgi8wE5jfDKBghT6FjTqKWSV45vknF1mNEjvuaY+aRZ3H MB4P3HCj+PKWJimWHRYnDshcytkgcgVcYDiim8va/4UDrw8O2ks= =JOZu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'x86_microcode_for_v6.7_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 microcode loading updates from Borislac Petkov: "Major microcode loader restructuring, cleanup and improvements by Thomas Gleixner: - Restructure the code needed for it and add a temporary initrd mapping on 32-bit so that the loader can access the microcode blobs.

Merge tag 'sh-for-v6.7-tag1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/glaubitz/sh-linux
Pull sh updates from John Paul Adrian Glaubitz:
"While the previously announced patch series for converting arch/sh to
device trees is not yet ready for inclusion to mainline and therefore
didn't make it for this pull request, there are still a small number
changes for v6.7 which include one platform (board plus CPU and driver
code) removal plus two fixes.
The removal sent in by Arnd Bergmann concerns the microdev board which
was an early SuperH prototype board that was never used in production.
With the board removed, we were able to drop the now unused code for
the SH4-202 CPU and well as the driver code for the superhyway bus and
a custom implementation for ioport_map() and ioport_unmap() which will
allow us to simplify ioport handling in the future.
Another patch set by Geert Uytterhoeven revives SuperH BIOS
earlyprintk support which got accidentally disabled in

x86/microcode: Prepare for minimal revision check
Applying microcode late can be fatal for the running kernel when the update changes functionality which is in use already in a non-compatible way, e.g. by removing a CPUID bit. There is no way for admins which do not have access to the vendors deep technical support to decide whether late loading of such a microcode is safe or not. Intel has added a new field to the microcode header which tells the minimal microcode revision which is required to be active in the CPU in order to be safe. Provide infrastructure for handling this in the core code and a command line switch which allows to enforce it. If the update is considered safe the kernel is not tainted and the annoying warning message not emitted. If it's enforced and the currently loaded microcode revision is not safe for late loading then the load is aborted.

smp,csd: Throw an error if a CSD lock is stuck for too long
The CSD lock seems to get stuck in 2 "modes". When it gets stuck temporarily, it usually gets released in a few seconds, and sometimes up to one or two minutes. If the CSD lock stays stuck for more than several minutes, it never seems to get unstuck, and gradually more and more things in the system end up also getting stuck. In the latter case, we should just give up, so the system can dump out a little more information about what went wrong, and, with panic_on_oops and a kdump kernel loaded, dump a whole bunch more information about what might have gone wrong. In addition, there is an smp.panic_on_ipistall kernel boot parameter that by default retains the old behavior, but when set enables the panic after the CSD lock has been stuck for more than the specified number of milliseconds, as in 300,000 for five minutes.

cgroup: add cgroup_favordynmods= command-line option
We have a need of using favordynmods with cgroup v1, which doesn't support changing mount flags during remount. Enabling CONFIG_CGROUP_FAVOR_DYNMODS at build-time is not an option because we want to be able to selectively enable it for certain systems. This commit addresses this by introducing the cgroup_favordynmods= command-line option. This option works for both cgroup v1 and v2 and also allows for disabling favorynmods when the kernel built with CONFIG_CGROUP_FAVOR_DYNMODS=y. Also, note that when cgroup_favordynmods=true favordynmods is never disabled in cgroup_destroy_root().

s390/pci: Use dma-iommu layer
While s390 already has a standard IOMMU driver and previous changes have added I/O TLB flushing operations this driver is currently only used for user-space PCI access such as vfio-pci. For the DMA API s390 instead utilizes its own implementation in arch/s390/pci/pci_dma.c which drives the same hardware and shares some code but requires a complex and fragile hand over between DMA API and IOMMU API use of a device and despite code sharing still leads to significant duplication and maintenance effort. Let's utilize the common code DMAP API implementation from drivers/iommu/dma-iommu.c instead allowing us to get rid of arch/s390/pci/pci_dma.c.

locktorture: Add call_rcu_chains module parameter
When running locktorture on large systems, there will normally be enough RCU activity to ensure that there is a grace period in flight at all times. However, on smaller systems, RCU might well be idle the majority of the time. This situation can be inconvenient in cases where the RCU CPU stall warning is part of the debugging process. This commit therefore adds an call_rcu_chains module parameter to locktorture, allowing the user to specify the desired number of self-propagating call_rcu() chains. For good measure, immediately before invoking call_rcu(), the self-propagating RCU callback invokes start_poll_synchronize_rcu() to force the immediate start of a grace period, with the call_rcu() forcing another to start shortly thereafter. Booting with locktorture.call_rcu_chains=2 increases the probability of a stuck locking primitive resulting in an RCU CPU stall warning from about 25% to nearly 100%. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

x86: Make IA32_EMULATION boot time configurable
Distributions would like to reduce their attack surface as much as possible but at the same time they'd want to retain flexibility to cater to a variety of legacy software. This stems from the conjecture that compat layer is likely rarely tested and could have latent security bugs. Ideally distributions will set their default policy and also give users the ability to override it as appropriate. To enable this use case, introduce CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION_DEFAULT_DISABLED compile time option, which controls whether 32bit processes/syscalls should be allowed or not. This option is aimed mainly at distributions to set their preferred default behavior in their kernels. To allow users to override the distro's policy, introduce the 'ia32_emulation' parameter which allows overriding CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION_DEFAULT_DISABLED state at boot time.

rcu: Add sysfs to provide throttled access to rcu_barrier()
When running a series of stress tests all making heavy use of RCU, it is all too possible to OOM the system when the prior test's RCU callbacks don't get invoked until after the subsequent test starts. One way of handling this is just a timed wait, but this fails when a given CPU has so many callbacks queued that they take longer to invoke than allowed for by that timed wait. This commit therefore adds an rcutree.do_rcu_barrier module parameter that is accessible from sysfs. Writing one of the many synonyms for boolean "true" will cause an rcu_barrier() to be invoked, but will guarantee that no more than one rcu_barrier() will be invoked per sixteenth of a second via this mechanism. The flip side is that a given request might wait a second or three longer than absolutely necessary, but only when there are multiple uses of rcutree.do_rcu_barrier within a one-second time interval. This commit unnecessarily serializes the rcu_barrier() machinery, given that serialization is already provided by procfs. This has the advantage of allowing throttled rcu_barrier() from other sources within the kernel. Reported-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

workqueue: Changes for v6.6
* Unbound workqueues now support more flexible affinity scopes. The default behavior is to soft-affine according to last level cache boundaries. A work item queued from a given LLC is executed by a worker running on the same LLC but the worker may be moved across cache boundaries as the scheduler sees fit. On machines which multiple L3 caches, which are becoming more popular along with chiplet designs, this improves cache locality while not harming work conservation too much. Unbound workqueues are now also a lot more flexible in terms of execution affinity. Differeing levels of affinity scopes are supported and both the default and per-workqueue affinity settings can be modified dynamically. This should help working around amny of sub-optimal behaviors observed recently with asymmetric ARM CPUs. This involved signficant restructuring of workqueue code. Nothing was reported yet but there's some risk of subtle regressions. Should keep an eye out. * Rescuer workers now has more identifiable comms. * workqueue.unbound_cpus added so that CPUs which can be used by workqueue can be constrained early during boot. * Now that all the in-tree users have been flushed out, trigger warning if system-wide workqueues are flushed. * One pull commit from for-6.5-fixes to avoid cascading conflicts in the affinity scope patchset. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIQEABYIACwWIQTfIjM1kS57o3GsC/uxYfJx3gVYGQUCZPERlQ4cdGpAa2VybmVs Lm9yZwAKCRCxYfJx3gVYGVqQAPwIOy9tWY5jFAmMuIyH6wV50hbmfxCc2n5xhQNr 5HoyGgEA8lw1W7afDCIPiQVA7AYsu8dhwuNSOcRCJxhrrn4XsA0= =g/Uu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'wq-for-6.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo: - Unbound workqueues now support more flexible affinity scopes.

Merge patch series "support allocating crashkernel above 4G explicitly on riscv"
Chen Jiahao <chenjiahao16@huawei.com> says: On riscv, the current crash kernel allocation logic is trying to allocate within 32bit addressible memory region by default, if failed, try to allocate without 4G restriction. In need of saving DMA zone memory while allocating a relatively large crash kernel region, allocating the reserved memory top down in high memory, without overlapping the DMA zone, is a mature solution. Hence this patchset introduces the parameter option crashkernel=X,[high,low]. One can reserve the crash kernel from high memory above DMA zone range by explicitly passing "crashkernel=X,high"; or reserve a memory range below 4G with "crashkernel=X,low". Besides, there are few rules need to take notice: 1. "crashkernel=X,[high,low]" will be ignored if "crashkernel=size" is specified. 2. "crashkernel=X,low" is valid only when "crashkernel=X,high" is passed and there is enough memory to be allocated under 4G. 3. When allocating crashkernel above 4G and no "crashkernel=X,low" is specified, a 128M low memory will be allocated automatically for swiotlb bounce buffer. See Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt for more information. To verify loading the crashkernel, adapted kexec-tools is attached below: https://github.com/chenjh005/kexec-tools/tree/build-test-riscv-v2 Following test cases have been performed as expected: 1) crashkernel=256M //low=256M 2) crashkernel=1G //low=1G 3) crashkernel=4G //high=4G, low=128M(default) 4) crashkernel=4G crashkernel=256M,high //high=4G, low=128M(default), high is ignored 5) crashkernel=4G crashkernel=256M,low //high=4G, low=128M(default), low is ignored 6) crashkernel=4G,high //high=4G, low=128M(default) 7) crashkernel=256M,low //low=0M, invalid 8) crashkernel=4G,high crashkernel=256M,low //high=4G, low=256M 9) crashkernel=4G,high crashkernel=4G,low //high=0M, low=0M, invalid 10) crashkernel=512M@0xd0000000 //low=512M 11) crashkernel=1G,high crashkernel=0M,low //high=1G, low=0M * b4-shazam-merge: docs: kdump: Update the crashkernel description for riscv riscv: kdump: Implement crashkernel=X,[high,low] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230726175000.2536220-1-chenjiahao16@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@rivosinc.com> |

powerpc/idle: Add support for nohlt
This patch enables config option GENERIC_IDLE_POLL_SETUP for arch powerpc. This adds support for kernel param 'nohlt'. Powerpc kernel also supports another kernel boot-time param called 'powersave' which can also be used to disable all cpu idle-states and forces CPU to an idle-loop similar to what cpu_idle_poll() does. This patch however makes powerpc kernel-parameters better aligned to the generic boot-time parameters.

tpm_tis: Revert "tpm_tis: Disable interrupts on ThinkPad T490s"
Since for MMIO driver using FIFO registers, also known as tpm_tis, the default (and tbh recommended) behaviour is now the polling mode, the "tristate" workaround is no longer for benefit. If someone wants to explicitly enable IRQs for a TPM chip that should be without question allowed. It could very well be a piece hardware in the existing deny list because of e.g. firmware update or something similar. While at it, document the module parameter, as this was not done in 2006 when it first appeared in the mainline.

Use case: In case of device mapper usage for the rootfs (e.g. root=/dev/dm-0), if the mapper is not able to create the virtual block for any reason (wrong arguments, bad dm-verity signature, etc), the `rootwait` param causes the kernel to wait forever. It may however be desirable to only wait for a given time and then panic (force mount) to cause device reset. This gives the bootloader a chance to detect the problem and to take some measures, such as marking the booted partition as bad (for A/B case) or entering a recovery mode. In success case, mounting happens as soon as the root device is ready, unlike the existing 'rootdelay' parameter which performs an unconditional pause.

workqueue: Make default affinity_scope dynamically updatable

workqueue: Add multiple affinity scopes and interface to select them
Add three more affinity scopes - WQ_AFFN_CPU, SMT and CACHE - and make CACHE the default. The code changes to actually add the additional scopes are trivial. Also add module parameter "workqueue.default_affinity_scope" to override the default scope and "affinity_scope" sysfs file to configure it per workqueue. wq_dump.py and documentations are updated accordingly. This enables significant flexibility in configuring how unbound workqueues behave. If affinity scope is set to "cpu", it'll behave close to a per-cpu workqueue. On the other hand, "system" removes all locality boundaries. Many modern machines have multiple L3 caches often while being mostly uniform in terms of memory access. Thus, workqueue's previous behavior of spreading work items in each NUMA node had negative performance implications from unncessarily crossing L3 boundaries between issue and execution. However, picking a finer grained affinity scope also has a downside in that an issuer in one group can't utilize CPUs in other groups. While dependent on the specifics of workload, there's usually a noticeable penalty in crossing L3 boundaries, so let's default to CACHE. This issue will be further addressed and documented with examples in future patches. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> |

x86/srso: Add a Speculative RAS Overflow mitigation
Add a mitigation for the speculative return address stack overflow vulnerability found on AMD processors. The mitigation works by ensuring all RET instructions speculate to a controlled location, similar to how speculation is controlled in the retpoline sequence. To accomplish this, the __x86_return_thunk forces the CPU to mispredict every function return using a 'safe return' sequence. To ensure the safety of this mitigation, the kernel must ensure that the safe return sequence is itself free from attacker interference. In Zen3 and Zen4, this is accomplished by creating a BTB alias between the untraining function srso_untrain_ret_alias() and the safe return function srso_safe_ret_alias() which results in evicting a potentially poisoned BTB entry and using that safe one for all function returns. In older Zen1 and Zen2, this is accomplished using a reinterpretation technique similar to Retbleed one: srso_untrain_ret() and srso_safe_ret(). Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov (AMD) <bp@alien8.de> |

RISC-V: provide Kconfig & commandline options to control parsing "riscv,isa"
As it says on the tin, provide Kconfig option to control parsing the "riscv,isa" devicetree property. If either option is used, the kernel will fall back to parsing "riscv,isa", where "riscv,isa-base" and "riscv,isa-extensions" are not present. The Kconfig options are set up so that the default kernel configuration will enable the fallback path, without needing the commandline option.

x86/speculation: Add force option to GDS mitigation
The Gather Data Sampling (GDS) vulnerability allows malicious software to infer stale data previously stored in vector registers. This may include sensitive data such as cryptographic keys. GDS is mitigated in microcode, and systems with up-to-date microcode are protected by default. However, any affected system that is running with older microcode will still be vulnerable to GDS attacks. Since the gather instructions used by the attacker are part of the AVX2 and AVX512 extensions, disabling these extensions prevents gather instructions from being executed, thereby mitigating the system from GDS. Disabling AVX2 is sufficient, but we don't have the granularity to do this. The XCR0[2] disables AVX, with no option to just disable AVX2. Add a kernel parameter gather_data_sampling=force that will enable the microcode mitigation if available, otherwise it will disable AVX on affected systems. This option will be ignored if cmdline mitigations=off. This is a *big* hammer. It is known to break buggy userspace that uses incomplete, buggy AVX enumeration. Unfortunately, such userspace does exist in the wild: https://www.mail-archive.com/bug-coreutils@gnu.org/msg33046.html [ dhansen: add some more ominous warnings about disabling AVX ] Signed-off-by: Daniel Sneddon <daniel.sneddon@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org> |

x86/speculation: Add Gather Data Sampling mitigation
Gather Data Sampling (GDS) is a hardware vulnerability which allows unprivileged speculative access to data which was previously stored in vector registers. Intel processors that support AVX2 and AVX512 have gather instructions that fetch non-contiguous data elements from memory. On vulnerable hardware, when a gather instruction is transiently executed and encounters a fault, stale data from architectural or internal vector registers may get transiently stored to the destination vector register allowing an attacker to infer the stale data using typical side channel techniques like cache timing attacks. This mitigation is different from many earlier ones for two reasons. First, it is enabled by default and a bit must be set to *DISABLE* it. This is the opposite of normal mitigation polarity. This means GDS can be mitigated simply by updating microcode and leaving the new control bit alone. Second, GDS has a "lock" bit. This lock bit is there because the mitigation affects the hardware security features KeyLocker and SGX. It needs to be enabled and *STAY* enabled for these features to be mitigated against GDS. The mitigation is enabled in the microcode by default. Disable it by setting gather_data_sampling=off or by disabling all mitigations with mitigations=off.

rcu-tasks: Cancel callback laziness if too many callbacks
The various RCU Tasks flavors now do lazy grace periods when there are only asynchronous grace period requests. By default, the system will let 250 milliseconds elapse after the first call_rcu_tasks*() callbacki is queued before starting a grace period. In contrast, synchronous grace period requests such as synchronize_rcu_tasks*() will start a grace period immediately. However, invoking one of the call_rcu_tasks*() functions in a too-tight loop can result in a callback flood, which in turn can exhaust memory if grace periods are delayed for too long. This commit therefore sets a limit so that the grace-period kthread will be awakened when any CPU's callback list expands to contain rcupdate.rcu_task_lazy_lim callbacks elements (defaulting to 32, set to -1 to disable), the grace-period kthread will be awakened, thus cancelling any ongoing laziness and getting out in front of the potential callback flood.
