topology/sysfs: rework book and drawer topology ifdefery
Provide default defines for the topology_book_[id|cpumask] and topology_drawer_[id|cpumask] macros just like for each other topology level. This way all topology levels are handled in a similar way. Still the the book and drawer levels are only used on s390, and also the sysfs attributes are only created on s390. However other architectures may opt in if wanted.

rcu: Remove the RCU_FAST_NO_HZ Kconfig option
All of the uses of CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y that I have seen involve systems with RCU callbacks offloaded. In this situation, all that this Kconfig option does is slow down idle entry/exit with an additional allways-taken early exit. If this is the only use case, then this Kconfig option nothing but an attractive nuisance that needs to go away. This commit therefore removes the RCU_FAST_NO_HZ Kconfig option.

doc: Remove obsolete kernel-per-CPU-kthreads RCU_FAST_NO_HZ advice
This document advises building with both CONFIG_NO_HZ=y and CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y. However, CONFIG_NO_HZ=y offloads callbacks from all nohz_full CPUs, and CPUs with offloaded callbacks do not benefit from CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y. Quite the opposite: CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y simply adds a bit of idle entry/exit overhead. This commit therefore changes that advice to only CONFIG_NO_HZ=y. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

clocksource: Reduce the default clocksource_watchdog() retries to 2
With the previous patch, there is an extra watchdog read in each retry. Now the total number of clocksource reads is increased to 4 per iteration. In order to avoid increasing the clock skew check overhead, the default maximum number of retries is reduced from 3 to 2 to maintain the same 12 clocksource reads in the worst case.

docs: admin-guide/blockdev: Remove digraph of node-states
While node-states-8.dot has two digraphs, the dot(1) command can
not properly handle multiple graphs in a DOT file and the
kernel-doc page at
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/blockdev/drbd/figures.html
fails to render the graphs.
It turned out that the digraph of node_states can be removed.
Quote from Joel's reflection:
On reflection, the digraph node_states can be removed entirely.
It is too basic to contain any useful information. In addition
it references "ioctl_set_state". The ioctl configuration
interface for DRBD has long been removed. In fact, it was never
in the upstream version of DRBD.
Remove node_states and rename the DOT file peer_states-8.dot.

m68k: Enable memtest functionality
Enable the memtest functionality and rearrange some code to prevent it from clobbering the initrd. The code to implement CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD was conditional on !defined(CONFIG_SUN3). For simplicity, remove that test on the basis that m68k_ramdisk.size == 0 on Sun 3. The SLIME source code at http://sammy.net/sun3/ftp/pub/m68k/sun3/slime/slime-2.0.tar.gz indicates that no BI_RAMDISK entry is ever passed to the kernel due to #ifdef 0 around the relevant code.

Input: i8042 - add deferred probe support
We've got a bug report about the non-working keyboard on ASUS ZenBook UX425UA. It seems that the PS/2 device isn't ready immediately at boot but takes some seconds to get ready. Until now, the only workaround is to defer the probe, but it's available only when the driver is a module. However, many distros, including openSUSE as in the original report, build the PS/2 input drivers into kernel, hence it won't work easily. This patch adds the support for the deferred probe for i8042 stuff as a workaround of the problem above. When the deferred probe mode is enabled and the device couldn't be probed, it'll be repeated with the standard deferred probe mechanism. The deferred probe mode is enabled either via the new option i8042.probe_defer or via the quirk table entry. As of this patch, the quirk table contains only ASUS ZenBook UX425UA. The deferred probe part is based on Fabio's initial work.

The nomodeset kernel command line parameter is not documented. Its name is quite vague and is not intuitive what's the behaviour when it is set.

powerpc/64s: Implement PMU override command line option
It can be useful in simulators (with very constrained environments) to allow some PMCs to run from boot so they can be sampled directly by a test harness, rather than having to run perf. A previous change freezes counters at boot by default, so provide a boot time option to un-freeze (plus a bit more flexibility).

Pull prctl updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the missing prctl uapi pieces for PR_SCHED_CORE.
In order to activate core scheduling the caller is expected to specify
the scope of the new core scheduling domain.
For example, passing 2 in the 4th argument of
prctl(PR_SCHED_CORE, PR_SCHED_CORE_CREATE, <pid>, 2, 0);
would indicate that the new core scheduling domain encompasses all
tasks in the process group of <pid>. Specifying 0 would only create a
core scheduling domain for the thread identified by <pid> and 2 would
encompass the whole thread-group of <pid>.
Note, the values 0, 1, and 2 correspond to PIDTYPE_PID, PIDTYPE_TGID,
and PIDTYPE_PGID. A first version tried to expose those values
directly to which I objected because:
- PIDTYPE_* is an enum that is kernel internal which we should not
expose to userspace directly.
- PIDTYPE_* indicates what a given struct pid is used for it doesn't
express a scope.
But what the 4th argument of PR_SCHED_CORE prctl() expresses is the
scope of the operation, i.e. the scope of the core scheduling domain
at creation time. So Eugene's patch now simply introduces three new
defines PR_SCHED_CORE_SCOPE_THREAD, PR_SCHED_CORE_SCOPE_THREAD_GROUP,
and PR_SCHED_CORE_SCOPE_PROCESS_GROUP. They simply express what
happens.
This has been on the mailing list for quite a while with all relevant
scheduler folks Cced. I announced multiple times that I'd pick this up
if I don't see or her anyone else doing it. None of this touches
proper scheduler code but only concerns uapi so I think this is fine.
With core scheduling being quite common now for vm managers (e.g.
moving individual vcpu threads into their own core scheduling domain)
and container managers (e.g. moving the init process into its own core
scheduling domain and letting all created children inherit it) having
to rely on raw numbers passed as the 4th argument in prctl() is a bit
annoying and everyone is starting to come up with their own defines"

Docs/admin-guide/mm/pagemap: wordsmith page flags descriptions
Some descriptions of page flags in 'pagemap.rst' are written in
assumption of none-rst, which respects every new line, as below:
7 - SLAB
page is managed by the SLAB/SLOB/SLUB/SLQB kernel memory allocator
When compound page is used, SLUB/SLQB will only set this flag on the head
Because rst ignores the new line between the first sentence and second
sentence, resulting html looks a little bit weird, as below.
7 - SLAB
page is managed by the SLAB/SLOB/SLUB/SLQB kernel memory allocator When
^
compound page is used, SLUB/SLQB will only set this flag on the head
page; SLOB will not flag it at all.
This change makes it more natural and consistent with other parts in the
rendered version.

This change introduces an aged idle interface to the existing idle sysfs file for zram. When CONFIG_ZRAM_MEMORY_TRACKING is enabled the idle file now also accepts an integer argument. This integer is the age (in seconds) of pages to mark as idle. The idle file still supports 'all' as it always has. This new approach allows for much more control over which pages get marked as idle.

hugetlbfs: extend the definition of hugepages parameter to support node allocation
We can specify the number of hugepages to allocate at boot. But the hugepages is balanced in all nodes at present. In some scenarios, we only need hugepages in one node. For example: DPDK needs hugepages which are in the same node as NIC. If DPDK needs four hugepages of 1G size in node1 and system has 16 numa nodes we must reserve 64 hugepages on the kernel cmdline. But only four hugepages are used. The others should be free after boot. If the system memory is low(for example: 64G), it will be an impossible task. So extend the hugepages parameter to support specifying hugepages on a specific node. For example add following parameter: hugepagesz=1G hugepages=0:1,1:3 It will allocate 1 hugepage in node0 and 3 hugepages in node1.

hugetlb: support node specified when using cma for gigantic hugepages
Now the size of CMA area for gigantic hugepages runtime allocation is balanced for all online nodes, but we also want to specify the size of CMA per-node, or only one node in some cases, which are similar with patch [1]. For example, on some multi-nodes systems, each node's memory can be different, allocating the same size of CMA for each node is not suitable for the low-memory nodes. Meanwhile some workloads like DPDK mentioned by Zhenguo in patch [1] only need hugepages in one node. On the other hand, we have some machines with multiple types of memory, like DRAM and PMEM (persistent memory). On this system, we may want to specify all the hugepages only on DRAM node, or specify the proportion of DRAM node and PMEM node, to tuning the performance of the workloads. Thus this patch adds node format for 'hugetlb_cma' parameter to support specifying the size of CMA per-node. An example is as follows: hugetlb_cma=0:5G,2:5G which means allocating 5G size of CMA area on node 0 and node 2 respectively. And the users should use the node specific sysfs file to allocate the gigantic hugepages if specified the CMA size on that node.

hugetlb: add demote hugetlb page sysfs interfaces
Patch series "hugetlb: add demote/split page functionality", v4.
The concurrent use of multiple hugetlb page sizes on a single system is
becoming more common. One of the reasons is better TLB support for
gigantic page sizes on x86 hardware. In addition, hugetlb pages are
being used to back VMs in hosting environments.
When using hugetlb pages to back VMs, it is often desirable to
preallocate hugetlb pools. This avoids the delay and uncertainty of
allocating hugetlb pages at VM startup. In addition, preallocating huge
pages minimizes the issue of memory fragmentation that increases the
longer the system is up and running.
In such environments, a combination of larger and smaller hugetlb pages
are preallocated in anticipation of backing VMs of various sizes. Over
time, the preallocated pool of smaller hugetlb pages may become depleted
while larger hugetlb pages still remain. In such situations, it is
desirable to convert larger hugetlb pages to smaller hugetlb pages.
Converting larger to smaller hugetlb pages can be accomplished today by
first freeing the larger page to the buddy allocator and then allocating
the smaller pages. For example, to convert 50 GB pages on x86:
gb_pages=`cat .../hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages`
m2_pages=`cat .../hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages`
echo $(($gb_pages - 50)) > .../hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages
echo $(($m2_pages + 25600)) > .../hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
On an idle system this operation is fairly reliable and results are as
expected. The number of 2MB pages is increased as expected and the time
of the operation is a second or two.
However, when there is activity on the system the following issues
arise:
1) This process can take quite some time, especially if allocation of
the smaller pages is not immediate and requires migration/compaction.
2) There is no guarantee that the total size of smaller pages allocated
will match the size of the larger page which was freed. This is
because the area freed by the larger page could quickly be
fragmented.
In a test environment with a load that continually fills the page cache
with clean pages, results such as the following can be observed:
Unexpected number of 2MB pages allocated: Expected 25600, have 19944
real 0m42.092s
user 0m0.008s
sys 0m41.467s
To address these issues, introduce the concept of hugetlb page demotion.
Demotion provides a means of 'in place' splitting of a hugetlb page to
pages of a smaller size. This avoids freeing pages to buddy and then
trying to allocate from buddy.
Page demotion is controlled via sysfs files that reside in the per-hugetlb
page size and per node directories.
- demote_size
Target page size for demotion, a smaller huge page size. File
can be written to chose a smaller huge page size if multiple are
available.
- demote
Writable number of hugetlb pages to be demoted
To demote 50 GB huge pages, one would:
cat .../hugepages-1048576kB/free_hugepages /* optional, verify free pages */
cat .../hugepages-1048576kB/demote_size /* optional, verify target size */
echo 50 > .../hugepages-1048576kB/demote
Only hugetlb pages which are free at the time of the request can be
demoted. Demotion does not add to the complexity of surplus pages and
honors reserved huge pages. Therefore, when a value is written to the
sysfs demote file, that value is only the maximum number of pages which
will be demoted. It is possible fewer will actually be demoted. The
recently introduced per-hstate mutex is used to synchronize demote
operations with other operations that modify hugetlb pools.
Real world use cases
--------------------
The above scenario describes a real world use case where hugetlb pages
are used to back VMs on x86. Both issues of long allocation times and
not necessarily getting the expected number of smaller huge pages after
a free and allocate cycle have been experienced. The occurrence of
these issues is dependent on other activity within the host and can not
be predicted.
This patch (of 5):
Two new sysfs files are added to demote hugtlb pages. These files are
both per-hugetlb page size and per node. Files are:
demote_size - The size in Kb that pages are demoted to. (read-write)
demote - The number of huge pages to demote. (write-only)
By default, demote_size is the next smallest huge page size. Valid huge
page sizes less than huge page size may be written to this file. When
huge pages are demoted, they are demoted to this size.
Writing a value to demote will result in an attempt to demote that
number of hugetlb pages to an appropriate number of demote_size pages.
NOTE: Demote interfaces are only provided for huge page sizes if there
is a smaller target demote huge page size. For example, on x86 1GB huge
pages will have demote interfaces. 2MB huge pages will not have demote
interfaces.
This patch does not provide full demote functionality. It only provides
the sysfs interfaces.
It also provides documentation for the new interfaces.

Documentation: update pagemap with shmem exceptions
This patch follows the discussions on previous documentation patch threads [1][2]. It presents the exception case of shared memory management from the pagemap's point of view. It briefly describes what is missing, why it is missing and alternatives to the pagemap for page info retrieval in user space. In short, the kernel does not keep track of PTEs for swapped out shared pages within the processes that references them. Thus, the proc/pid/pagemap tool cannot print the swap destination of the shared memory pages, instead setting the pagemap entry to zero for both non-allocated and swapped out pages. This can create confusion for users who need information on swapped out pages. The reasons why maintaining the PTEs of all swapped out shared pages among all processes while maintaining similar performance is not a trivial task, or a desirable change, have been discussed extensively [1][3][4][5]. There are also arguments for why this arguably missing information should eventually be exposed to the user in either a future pagemap patch, or by an alternative tool.

xen/balloon: add late_initcall_sync() for initial ballooning done
When running as PVH or HVM guest with actual memory < max memory the hypervisor is using "populate on demand" in order to allow the guest to balloon down from its maximum memory size. For this to work correctly the guest must not touch more memory pages than its target memory size as otherwise the PoD cache will be exhausted and the guest is crashed as a result of that. In extreme cases ballooning down might not be finished today before the init process is started, which can consume lots of memory. In order to avoid random boot crashes in such cases, add a late init call to wait for ballooning down having finished for PVH/HVM guests. Warn on console if initial ballooning fails, panic() after stalling for more than 3 minutes per default. Add a module parameter for changing this timeout.

Driver core changes for 5.16-rc1
Here is the big set of driver core changes for 5.16-rc1.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while now with no reported
problems.
Included in here are:
- big update and cleanup of the sysfs abi documentation files
and scripts from Mauro. We are almost at the place where we
can properly check that the running kernel's sysfs abi is
documented fully.
- firmware loader updates
- dyndbg updates
- kernfs cleanups and fixes from Christoph
- device property updates
- component fix
- other minor driver core cleanups and fixes

x86/fpu updates:
- Cleanup of extable fixup handling to be more robust, which in turn
allows to make the FPU exception fixups more robust as well.
- Change the return code for signal frame related failures from explicit
error codes to a boolean fail/success as that's all what the calling
code evaluates.
- A large refactoring of the FPU code to prepare for adding AMX support:
- Distangle the public header maze and remove especially the misnomed
kitchen sink internal.h which is despite it's name included all over
the place.
- Add a proper abstraction for the register buffer storage (struct
fpstate) which allows to dynamically size the buffer at runtime by
flipping the pointer to the buffer container from the default
container which is embedded in task_struct::tread::fpu to a
dynamically allocated container with a larger register buffer.
- Convert the code over to the new fpstate mechanism.
- Consolidate the KVM FPU handling by moving the FPU related code into
the FPU core which removes the number of exports and avoids adding
even more export when AMX has to be supported in KVM. This also
removes duplicated code which was of course unnecessary different and
incomplete in the KVM copy.
- Simplify the KVM FPU buffer handling by utilizing the new fpstate
container and just switching the buffer pointer from the user space
buffer to the KVM guest buffer when entering vcpu_run() and flipping
it back when leaving the function. This cuts the memory requirements
of a vCPU for FPU buffers in half and avoids pointless memory copy
operations.
This also solves the so far unresolved problem of adding AMX support
because the current FPU buffer handling of KVM inflicted a circular
dependency between adding AMX support to the core and to KVM. With
the new scheme of switching fpstate AMX support can be added to the
core code without affecting KVM.
- Replace various variables with proper data structures so the extra
information required for adding dynamically enabled FPU features (AMX)
can be added in one place
- Add AMX (Advanved Matrix eXtensions) support (finally):
AMX is a large XSTATE component which is going to be available with
Saphire Rapids XEON CPUs. The feature comes with an extra MSR (MSR_XFD)
which allows to trap the (first) use of an AMX related instruction,
which has two benefits:
1) It allows the kernel to control access to the feature
2) It allows the kernel to dynamically allocate the large register
state buffer instead of burdening every task with the the extra 8K
or larger state storage.
It would have been great to gain this kind of control already with
AVX512.
The support comes with the following infrastructure components:
1) arch_prctl() to
- read the supported features (equivalent to XGETBV(0))
- read the permitted features for a task
- request permission for a dynamically enabled feature
Permission is granted per process, inherited on fork() and cleared
on exec(). The permission policy of the kernel is restricted to
sigaltstack size validation, but the syscall obviously allows
further restrictions via seccomp etc.
2) A stronger sigaltstack size validation for sys_sigaltstack(2) which
takes granted permissions and the potentially resulting larger
signal frame into account. This mechanism can also be used to
enforce factual sigaltstack validation independent of dynamic
features to help with finding potential victims of the 2K
sigaltstack size constant which is broken since AVX512 support was
added.
3) Exception handling for #NM traps to catch first use of a extended
feature via a new cause MSR. If the exception was caused by the use
of such a feature, the handler checks permission for that
feature. If permission has not been granted, the handler sends a
SIGILL like the #UD handler would do if the feature would have been
disabled in XCR0. If permission has been granted, then a new fpstate
which fits the larger buffer requirement is allocated.
In the unlikely case that this allocation fails, the handler sends
SIGSEGV to the task. That's not elegant, but unavoidable as the
other discussed options of preallocation or full per task
permissions come with their own set of horrors for kernel and/or
userspace. So this is the lesser of the evils and SIGSEGV caused by
unexpected memory allocation failures is not a fundamentally new
concept either.
When allocation succeeds, the fpstate properties are filled in to
reflect the extended feature set and the resulting sizes, the
fpu::fpstate pointer is updated accordingly and the trap is disarmed
for this task permanently.
4) Enumeration and size calculations
5) Trap switching via MSR_XFD
The XFD (eXtended Feature Disable) MSR is context switched with the
same life time rules as the FPU register state itself. The mechanism
is keyed off with a static key which is default disabled so !AMX
equipped CPUs have zero overhead. On AMX enabled CPUs the overhead
is limited by comparing the tasks XFD value with a per CPU shadow
variable to avoid redundant MSR writes. In case of switching from a
AMX using task to a non AMX using task or vice versa, the extra MSR
write is obviously inevitable.
All other places which need to be aware of the variable feature sets
and resulting variable sizes are not affected at all because they
retrieve the information (feature set, sizes) unconditonally from
the fpstate properties.
6) Enable the new AMX states
Note, this is relatively new code despite the fact that AMX support is in
the works for more than a year now.
The big refactoring of the FPU code, which allowed to do a proper
integration has been started exactly 3 weeks ago. Refactoring of the
existing FPU code and of the original AMX patches took a week and has
been subject to extensive review and testing. The only fallout which has
not been caught in review and testing right away was restricted to AMX
enabled systems, which is completely irrelevant for anyone outside Intel
and their early access program. There might be dragons lurking as usual,
but so far the fine grained refactoring has held up and eventual yet
undetected fallout is bisectable and should be easily addressable before
the 5.16 release. Famous last words...
Many thanks to Chang Bae and Dave Hansen for working hard on this and
also to the various test teams at Intel who reserved extra capacity to
follow the rapid development of this closely which provides the
confidence level required to offer this rather large update for inclusion
into 5.16-rc1.

Scheduler updates:
- Revert the printk format based wchan() symbol resolution as it can leak
the raw value in case that the symbol is not resolvable.
- Make wchan() more robust and work with all kind of unwinders by
enforcing that the task stays blocked while unwinding is in progress.
- Prevent sched_fork() from accessing an invalid sched_task_group
- Improve asymmetric packing logic
- Extend scheduler statistics to RT and DL scheduling classes and add
statistics for bandwith burst to the SCHED_FAIR class.
- Properly account SCHED_IDLE entities
- Prevent a potential deadlock when initial priority is assigned to a
newly created kthread. A recent change to plug a race between cpuset and
__sched_setscheduler() introduced a new lock dependency which is now
triggered. Break the lock dependency chain by moving the priority
assignment to the thread function.
- Fix the idle time reporting in /proc/uptime for NOHZ enabled systems.
- Improve idle balancing in general and especially for NOHZ enabled
systems.
- Provide proper interfaces for live patching so it does not have to
fiddle with scheduler internals.
- Add cluster aware scheduling support.
- A small set of tweaks for RT (irqwork, wait_task_inactive(), various
scheduler options and delaying mmdrop)
- The usual small tweaks and improvements all over the place

With our current DMA code these applications will run out of DMA addresses after mapping half of the available memory because the number of DMA mappings is constrained by the number of concurrently active DMA addresses we support which in turn is limited by the minimum of hardware constraints and high_memory. Limiting the number of active DMA addresses to high_memory is only a heuristic to save memory used by the iommu_bitmap and DMA page tables however. This was added under the assumption that it rarely makes sense to DMA map more than system memory. To accommodate special applications which insist on double mapping, which works on other platforms, allow specifying a factor of how many times installed memory is available as DMA address space. Use 0 as a special value to apply no constraints beyond what hardware dictates at the expense of significantly more memory use.

x86/signal: Implement sigaltstack size validation
For historical reasons MINSIGSTKSZ is a constant which became already too
small with AVX512 support.
Add a mechanism to enforce strict checking of the sigaltstack size against
the real size of the FPU frame.
The strict check can be enabled via a config option and can also be
controlled via the kernel command line option 'strict_sas_size' independent
of the config switch.
Enabling it might break existing applications which allocate a too small
sigaltstack but 'work' because they never get a signal delivered. Though it
can be handy to filter out binaries which are not yet aware of
AT_MINSIGSTKSZ.
Also the upcoming support for dynamically enabled FPU features requires a
strict sanity check to ensure that:
- Enabling of a dynamic feature, which changes the sigframe size fits
into an enabled sigaltstack
- Installing a too small sigaltstack after a dynamic feature has been
added is not possible.
Implement the base check which is controlled by config and command line
options.

kvm: x86: mmu: Make NX huge page recovery period configurable
Currently, the NX huge page recovery thread wakes up every minute and zaps 1/nx_huge_pages_recovery_ratio of the total number of split NX huge pages at a time. This is intended to ensure that only a relatively small number of pages get zapped at a time. But for very large VMs (or more specifically, VMs with a large number of executable pages), a period of 1 minute could still result in this number being too high (unless the ratio is changed significantly, but that can result in split pages lingering on for too long). This change makes the period configurable instead of fixing it at 1 minute. Users of large VMs can then adjust the period and/or the ratio to reduce the number of pages zapped at one time while still maintaining the same overall duration for cycling through the entire list. By default, KVM derives a period from the ratio such that a page will remain on the list for 1 hour on average.

topology: Represent clusters of CPUs within a die
Both ACPI and DT provide the ability to describe additional layers of
topology between that of individual cores and higher level constructs
such as the level at which the last level cache is shared.
In ACPI this can be represented in PPTT as a Processor Hierarchy
Node Structure [1] that is the parent of the CPU cores and in turn
has a parent Processor Hierarchy Nodes Structure representing
a higher level of topology.
For example Kunpeng 920 has 6 or 8 clusters in each NUMA node, and each
cluster has 4 cpus. All clusters share L3 cache data, but each cluster
has local L3 tag. On the other hand, each clusters will share some
internal system bus.

That means spreading tasks among clusters will bring more bandwidth
while packing tasks within one cluster will lead to smaller cache
synchronization latency. So both kernel and userspace will have
a chance to leverage this topology to deploy tasks accordingly to
achieve either smaller cache latency within one cluster or an even
distribution of load among clusters for higher throughput.
This patch exposes cluster topology to both kernel and userspace.
Libraried like hwloc will know cluster by cluster_cpus and related
sysfs attributes. PoC of HWLOC support at [2].
Note this patch only handle the ACPI case.
Special consideration is needed for SMT processors, where it is
necessary to move 2 levels up the hierarchy from the leaf nodes
(thus skipping the processor core level).
Note that arm64 / ACPI does not provide any means of identifying
a die level in the topology but that may be unrelate to the cluster
level.

The $module.dyndbg style is checked at boot and handles if $module is a builtin. If it is actually a loadable module, it is handled again later when the module is loaded. If you just use dyndbg="module $module +p" dynamic debug is only enabled when $module is a builtin. It was recommended to illustrate wildcard usage as well.

x86: change default to spec_store_bypass_disable=prctl spectre_v2_user=prctl
Switch the kernel default of SSBD and STIBP to the ones with CONFIG_SECCOMP=n (i.e. spec_store_bypass_disable=prctl spectre_v2_user=prctl) even if CONFIG_SECCOMP=y. Several motivations listed below: - If SMT is enabled the seccomp jail can still attack the rest of the system even with spectre_v2_user=seccomp by using MDS-HT (except on XEON PHI where MDS can be tamed with SMT left enabled, but that's a special case). Setting STIBP become a very expensive window dressing after MDS-HT was discovered. - The seccomp jail cannot attack the kernel with spectre-v2-HT regardless (even if STIBP is not set), but with MDS-HT the seccomp jail can attack the kernel too. - With spec_store_bypass_disable=prctl the seccomp jail can attack the other userland (guest or host mode) using spectre-v2-HT, but the userland attack is already mitigated by both ASLR and pid namespaces for host userland and through virt isolation with libkrun or kata. (if something if somebody is worried about spectre-v2-HT it's best to mount proc with hidepid=2,gid=proc on workstations where not all apps may run under container runtimes, rather than slowing down all seccomp jails, but the best is to add pid namespaces to the seccomp jail). As opposed MDS-HT is not mitigated and the seccomp jail can still attack all other host and guest userland if SMT is enabled even with spec_store_bypass_disable=seccomp. - If full security is required then MDS-HT must also be mitigated with nosmt and then spectre_v2_user=prctl and spectre_v2_user=seccomp would become identical. - Setting spectre_v2_user=seccomp is overall lower priority than to setting javascript.options.wasm false in about:config to protect against remote wasm MDS-HT, instead of worrying about Spectre-v2-HT and STIBP which again is already statistically well mitigated by other means in userland and it's fully mitigated in kernel with retpolines (unlike the wasm assist call with MDS-HT). - SSBD is needed to prevent reading the JIT memory and the primary user being the OpenJDK. However the primary user of SSBD wouldn't be covered by spec_store_bypass_disable=seccomp because it doesn't use seccomp and the primary user also explicitly declined to set PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL+PR_SPEC_STORE_BYPASS despite it easily could. In fact it would need to set it only when the sandboxing mechanism is enabled for javaws applets, but it still declined it by declaring security within the same user address space as an untenable objective for their JIT, even in the sandboxing case where performance would be a lesser concern (for the record: I kind of disagree in not setting PR_SPEC_STORE_BYPASS in the sandbox case and I prefer to run javaws through a wrapper that sets PR_SPEC_STORE_BYPASS if I need). In turn it can be inferred that even if the primary user of SSBD would use seccomp, they would invoke it with SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_SPEC_ALLOW by now. - runc/crun already set SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_SPEC_ALLOW by default, k8s and podman have a default json seccomp allowlist that cannot be slowed down, so for the #1 seccomp user this change is already a noop. - systemd/sshd or other apps that use seccomp, if they really need STIBP or SSBD, they need to explicitly set the PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL by now. The stibp/ssbd seccomp blind catch-all approach was done probably initially with a wishful thinking objective to pretend to have a peace of mind that it could magically fix it all. That was wishful thinking before MDS-HT was discovered, but after MDS-HT has been discovered it become just window dressing. - For qemu "-sandbox" seccomp jail it wouldn't make sense to set STIBP or SSBD. SSBD doesn't help with KVM because there's no JIT (if it's needed with TCG it should be an opt-in with PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL+PR_SPEC_STORE_BYPASS and it shouldn't slowdown KVM for nothing). For qemu+KVM STIBP would be even more window dressing than it is for all other apps, because in the qemu+KVM case there's not only the MDS attack to worry about with SMT enabled. Even after disabling SMT, there's still a theoretical spectre-v2 attack possible within the same thread context from guest mode to host ring3 that the host kernel retpoline mitigation has no theoretical chance to mitigate. On some kernels a ibrs-always/ibrs-retpoline opt-in model is provided that will enabled IBRS in the qemu host ring3 userland which fixes this theoretical concern. Only after enabling IBRS in the host userland it would then make sense to proceed and worry about STIBP and an attack on the other host userland, but then again SMT would need to be disabled for full security anyway, so that would render STIBP again a noop. - last but not the least: the lack of "spec_store_bypass_disable=prctl spectre_v2_user=prctl" means the moment a guest boots and sshd/systemd runs, the guest kernel will write to SPEC_CTRL MSR which will make the guest vmexit forever slower, forcing KVM to issue a very slow rdmsr instruction at every vmexit. So the end result is that SPEC_CTRL MSR is only available in GCE. Most other public cloud providers don't expose SPEC_CTRL, which means that not only STIBP/SSBD isn't available, but IBPB isn't available either (which would cause no overhead to the guest or the hypervisor because it's write only and requires no reading during vmexit). So the current default already net loss in security (missing IBPB) which means most public cloud providers cannot achieve a fully secure guest with nosmt (and nosmt is enough to fully mitigate MDS-HT). It also means GCE and is unfairly penalized in performance because it provides the option to enable full security in the guest as an opt-in (i.e. nosmt and IBPB). So this change will allow all cloud providers to expose SPEC_CTRL without incurring into any hypervisor slowdown and at the same time it will remove the unfair penalization of GCE performance for doing the right thing and it'll allow to get full security with nosmt with IBPB being available (and STIBP becoming meaningless). Example to put things in prospective: the STIBP enabled in seccomp has never been about protecting apps using seccomp like sshd from an attack from a malicious userland, but to the contrary it has always been about protecting the system from an attack from sshd, after a successful remote network exploit against sshd. In fact initially it wasn't obvious STIBP would work both ways (STIBP was about preventing the task that runs with STIBP to be attacked with spectre-v2-HT, but accidentally in the STIBP case it also prevents the attack in the other direction). In the hypothetical case that sshd has been remotely exploited the last concern should be STIBP being set, because it'll be still possible to obtain info even from the kernel by using MDS if nosmt wasn't set (and if it was set, STIBP is a noop in the first place). As opposed kernel cannot leak anything with spectre-v2 HT because of retpolines and the userland is mitigated by ASLR already and ideally PID namespaces too. If something it'd be worth checking if sshd run the seccomp thread under pid namespaces too if available in the running kernel. SSBD also would be a noop for sshd, since sshd uses no JIT. If sshd prefers to keep doing the STIBP window dressing exercise, it still can even after this change of defaults by opting-in with PR_SPEC_INDIRECT_BRANCH. Ultimately setting SSBD and STIBP by default for all seccomp jails is a bad sweet spot and bad default with more cons than pros that end up reducing security in the public cloud (by giving an huge incentive to not expose SPEC_CTRL which would be needed to get full security with IBPB after setting nosmt in the guest) and by excessively hurting performance to more secure apps using seccomp that end up having to opt out with SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_SPEC_ALLOW. The following is the verified result of the new default with SMT enabled: (gdb) print spectre_v2_user_stibp $1 = SPECTRE_V2_USER_PRCTL (gdb) print spectre_v2_user_ibpb $2 = SPECTRE_V2_USER_PRCTL (gdb) print ssb_mode $3 = SPEC_STORE_BYPASS_PRCTL Signed-off-by: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201104235054.5678-1-aarcange@redhat.com Acked-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/AAA2EF2C-293D-4D5B-BFA6-FF655105CD84@redhat.com Acked-by: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/c0722838-06f7-da6b-138f-e0f26362f16a@redhat.com |

Test example: With the vimc module up (using the default vimc topology) media-ctl -d platform:vimc -V '"Sensor A":0[fmt:SBGGR8_1X8/640x480]' media-ctl -d platform:vimc -V '"Debayer A":0[fmt:SBGGR8_1X8/640x480]' media-ctl -d platform:vimc -V '"Scaler":0[fmt:RGB888_1X24/640x480]' media-ctl -d platform:vimc -V '"Scaler":0[crop:(100,50)/400x150]' media-ctl -d platform:vimc -V '"Scaler":1[fmt:RGB888_1X24/300x700]' v4l2-ctl -z platform:vimc -d "RGB/YUV Capture" -v width=300,height=700 v4l2-ctl -z platform:vimc -d "Raw Capture 0" -v pixelformat=BA81 v4l2-ctl --stream-mmap --stream-count=10 -z platform:vimc -d "RGB/YUV Capture" \ --stream-to=test.raw The result will be a cropped stream that can be checked with the command ffplay -loglevel warning -v info -f rawvideo -pixel_format rgb24 \ -video_size "300x700" test.raw Co-developed-by: Gabriela Bittencourt <gabrielabittencourt00@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Gabriela Bittencourt <gabrielabittencourt00@gmail.com> Co-developed-by: Gabriel Francisco Mandaji <gfmandaji@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Gabriel Francisco Mandaji <gfmandaji@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Pedro Terra <pedro@terraco.de> Reviewed-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com> Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil-cisco@xs4all.nl> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> |

Merge branch 'gcc-min-version-5.1' (make gcc-5.1 the minimum version)
Merge patch series from Nick Desaulniers to update the minimum gcc version to 5.1. This is some of the left-overs from the merge window that I didn't want to deal with yesterday, so it comes in after -rc1 but was sent before. Gcc-4.9 support has been an annoyance for some time, and with -Werror I had the choice of applying a fairly big patch from Kees Cook to remove a fair number of initializer warnings (still leaving some), or this patch series from Nick that just removes the source of the problem. The initializer cleanups might still be worth it regardless, but honestly, I preferred just tackling the problem with gcc-4.9 head-on. We've been more aggressiuve about no longer having to care about compilers that were released a long time ago, and I think it's been a good thing. I added a couple of patches on top to sort out a few left-overs now that we no longer support gcc-4.x. As noted by Arnd, as a result of this minimum compiler version upgrade we can probably change our use of '--std=gnu89' to '--std=gnu11', and finally start using local loop declarations etc. But this series does _not_ yet do that.

memory-hotplug.rst: complete admin-guide overhaul
The memory hot(un)plug documentation is outdated and incomplete. Most of the content dates back to 2007, so it's time for a major overhaul. Let's rewrite, reorganize and update most parts of the documentation. In addition to memory hot(un)plug, also add some details regarding ZONE_MOVABLE, with memory hotunplug being one of its main consumers. Drop the file history, that information can more reliably be had from the git log. The style of the document is also properly fixed that e.g., "restview" renders it cleanly now. In the future, we might add some more details about virt users like virtio-mem, the XEN balloon, the Hyper-V balloon and ppc64 dlpar.

mm/mempolicy: advertise new MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY
Adds a new mode to the existing mempolicy modes, MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY. MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY will be adequately documented in the internal admin-guide with this patch. Eventually, the man pages for mbind(2), get_mempolicy(2), set_mempolicy(2) and numactl(8) will also have text about this mode. Those shall contain the canonical reference. NUMA systems continue to become more prevalent. New technologies like PMEM make finer grain control over memory access patterns increasingly desirable. MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY allows userspace to specify a set of nodes that will be tried first when performing allocations. If those allocations fail, all remaining nodes will be tried. It's a straight forward API which solves many of the presumptive needs of system administrators wanting to optimize workloads on such machines. The mode will work either per VMA, or per thread.
