Pull PCI updates from Bjorn Helgaas:
"Enumeration:
- Make pci_stop_dev() and pci_destroy_dev() safe so concurrent
callers can't stop a device multiple times, even as we migrate from
the global pci_rescan_remove_lock to finer-grained locking (Keith
Busch)
- Improve pci_walk_bus() implementation by making it recursive and
moving locking up to avoid need for a 'locked' parameter (Keith
Busch)
- Unexport pci_walk_bus_locked(), which is only used internally by
the PCI core (Keith Busch)
- Detect some Thunderbolt chips that are built-in and hence
'trustworthy' by a heuristic since the 'ExternalFacingPort' and
'usb4-host-interface' ACPI properties are not quite enough (Esther
Shimanovich)
Resource management:
- Use PCI bus addresses (not CPU addresses) in 'ranges' properties
when building dynamic DT nodes so systems where PCI and CPU
addresses differ work correctly (Andrea della Porta)
- Tidy resource sizing and assignment with helpers to reduce
redundancy (Ilpo Järvinen)
- Improve pdev_sort_resources() 'bogus alignment' warning to be more
specific (Ilpo Järvinen)
Driver binding:
- Convert driver .remove_new() callbacks to .remove() again to finish
the conversion from returning 'int' to being 'void' (Sergio
Paracuellos)
- Export pcim_request_all_regions(), a managed interface to request
all BARs (Philipp Stanner)
- Replace pcim_iomap_regions_request_all() with
pcim_request_all_regions(), and pcim_iomap_table()[n] with
pcim_iomap(n), in the following drivers: ahci, crypto qat, crypto
octeontx2, intel_th, iwlwifi, ntb idt, serial rp2, ALSA korg1212
(Philipp Stanner)
- Remove the now unused pcim_iomap_regions_request_all() (Philipp
Stanner)
- Export pcim_iounmap_region(), a managed interface to unmap and
release a PCI BAR (Philipp Stanner)
- Replace pcim_iomap_regions(mask) with pcim_iomap_region(n), and
pcim_iounmap_regions(mask) with pcim_iounmap_region(n), in the
following drivers: fpga dfl-pci, block mtip32xx, gpio-merrifield,
cavium (Philipp Stanner)
Error handling:
- Add sysfs 'reset_subordinate' to reset the entire hierarchy below a
bridge; previously Secondary Bus Reset could only be used when
there was a single device below a bridge (Keith Busch)
- Warn if we reset a running device where the driver didn't register
pci_error_handlers notification callbacks (Keith Busch)
ASPM:
- Disable ASPM L1 before touching L1 PM Substates to follow the spec
closer and avoid a CPU load timeout on some platforms (Ajay
Agarwal)
- Set devices below Intel VMD to D0 before enabling ASPM L1 Substates
as required per spec for all L1 Substates changes (Jian-Hong Pan)
Power management:
- Enable starfive controller runtime PM before probing host bridge
(Mayank Rana)
- Enable runtime power management for host bridges (Krishna chaitanya
chundru)
Power control:
- Use of_platform_device_create() instead of of_platform_populate()
to create pwrctl platform devices so we can control it based on the
child nodes (Manivannan Sadhasivam)
- Create pwrctrl platform devices only if there's a relevant power
supply property (Manivannan Sadhasivam)
- Add device link from the pwrctl supplier to the PCI dev to ensure
pwrctl drivers are probed before the PCI dev driver; this avoids a
race where pwrctl could change device power state while the PCI
driver was active (Manivannan Sadhasivam)
- Find pwrctl device for removal with of_find_device_by_node()
instead of searching all children of the parent (Manivannan
Sadhasivam)
- Rename 'pwrctl' to 'pwrctrl' to match new bandwidth controller
('bwctrl') and hotplug files (Bjorn Helgaas)
Bandwidth control:
- Add read/modify/write locking for Link Control 2, which is used to
manage Link speed (Ilpo Järvinen)
- Extract Link Bandwidth Management Status check into
pcie_lbms_seen(), where it can be shared between the bandwidth
controller and quirks that use it to help retrain failed links
(Ilpo Järvinen)
- Re-add Link Bandwidth notification support with updates to address
the reasons it was previously reverted (Alexandru Gagniuc, Ilpo
Järvinen)
- Add pcie_set_target_speed() and related functionality so drivers
can manage PCIe Link speed based on thermal or other constraints
(Ilpo Järvinen)
- Add a thermal cooling driver to throttle PCIe Links via the
existing thermal management framework (Ilpo Järvinen)
- Add a userspace selftest for the PCIe bandwidth controller (Ilpo
Järvinen)
PCI device hotplug:
- Add hotplug controller driver for Marvell OCTEON multi-function
device where function 0 has a management console interface to
enable/disable and provision various personalities for the other
functions (Shijith Thotton)
- Retain a reference to the pci_bus for the lifetime of a pci_slot to
avoid a use-after-free when the thunderbolt driver resets USB4 host
routers on boot, causing hotplug remove/add of downstream docks or
other devices (Lukas Wunner)
- Remove unused cpcihp struct cpci_hp_controller_ops.hardware_test
(Guilherme Giacomo Simoes)
- Remove unused cpqphp struct ctrl_dbg.ctrl (Christophe JAILLET)
- Use pci_bus_read_dev_vendor_id() instead of hand-coded presence
detection in cpqphp (Ilpo Järvinen)
- Simplify cpqphp enumeration, which is already simple-minded and
doesn't handle devices below hot-added bridges (Ilpo Järvinen)
Virtualization:
- Add ACS quirk for Wangxun FF5xxx NICs, which don't advertise an ACS
capability but do isolate functions as though PCI_ACS_RR and
PCI_ACS_CR were set, so the functions can be in independent IOMMU
groups (Mengyuan Lou)
TLP Processing Hints (TPH):
- Add and document TLP Processing Hints (TPH) support so drivers can
enable and disable TPH and the kernel can save/restore TPH
configuration (Wei Huang)
- Add TPH Steering Tag support so drivers can retrieve Steering Tag
values associated with specific CPUs via an ACPI _DSM to improve
performance by directing DMA writes closer to their consumers (Wei
Huang)
Data Object Exchange (DOE):
- Wait up to 1 second for DOE Busy bit to clear before writing a
request to the mailbox to avoid failures if the mailbox is still
busy from a previous transfer (Gregory Price)
Endpoint framework:
- Skip attempts to allocate from endpoint controller memory window if
the requested size is larger than the window (Damien Le Moal)
- Add and document pci_epc_mem_map() and pci_epc_mem_unmap() to
handle controller-specific size and alignment constraints, and add
test cases to the endpoint test driver (Damien Le Moal)
- Implement dwc pci_epc_ops.align_addr() so pci_epc_mem_map() can
observe DWC-specific alignment requirements (Damien Le Moal)
- Synchronously cancel command handler work in endpoint test before
cleaning up DMA and BARs (Damien Le Moal)
- Respect endpoint page size in dw_pcie_ep_align_addr() (Niklas
Cassel)
- Use dw_pcie_ep_align_addr() in dw_pcie_ep_raise_msi_irq() and
dw_pcie_ep_raise_msix_irq() instead of open coding the equivalent
(Niklas Cassel)
- Avoid NULL dereference if Modem Host Interface Endpoint lacks
'mmio' DT property (Zhongqiu Han)
- Release PCI domain ID of Endpoint controller parent (not controller
itself) and before unregistering the controller, to avoid
use-after-free (Zijun Hu)
- Clear secondary (not primary) EPC in pci_epc_remove_epf() when
removing the secondary controller associated with an NTB (Zijun Hu)
Cadence PCIe controller driver:
- Lower severity of 'phy-names' message (Bartosz Wawrzyniak)
Freescale i.MX6 PCIe controller driver:
- Fix suspend/resume support on i.MX6QDL, which has a hardware
erratum that prevents use of L2 (Stefan Eichenberger)
Intel VMD host bridge driver:
- Add 0xb60b and 0xb06f Device IDs for client SKUs (Nirmal Patel)
MediaTek PCIe Gen3 controller driver:
- Update mediatek-gen3 DT binding to require the exact number of
clocks for each SoC (Fei Shao)
- Add support for DT 'max-link-speed' and 'num-lanes' properties to
restrict the link speed and width (AngeloGioacchino Del Regno)
Microchip PolarFlare PCIe controller driver:
- Add DT and driver support for using either of the two PolarFire
Root Ports (Conor Dooley)
NVIDIA Tegra194 PCIe controller driver:
- Move endpoint controller cleanups that depend on refclk from the
host to the notifier that tells us the host has deasserted PERST#,
when refclk should be valid (Manivannan Sadhasivam)
Qualcomm PCIe controller driver:
- Add qcom SAR2130P DT binding with an additional clock (Dmitry
Baryshkov)
- Enable MSI interrupts if 'global' IRQ is supported, since a
previous commit unintentionally masked them (Manivannan Sadhasivam)
- Move endpoint controller cleanups that depend on refclk from the
host to the notifier that tells us the host has deasserted PERST#,
when refclk should be valid (Manivannan Sadhasivam)
- Add DT binding and driver support for IPQ9574, with Synopsys IP
v5.80a and Qcom IP 1.27.0 (devi priya)
- Move the OPP "operating-points-v2" table from the
qcom,pcie-sm8450.yaml DT binding to qcom,pcie-common.yaml, where it
can be used by other Qcom platforms (Qiang Yu)
- Add 'global' SPI interrupt for events like link-up, link-down to
qcom,pcie-x1e80100 DT binding so we can start enumeration when the
link comes up (Qiang Yu)
- Disable ASPM L0s for qcom,pcie-x1e80100 since the PHY is not tuned
to support this (Qiang Yu)
- Add ops_1_21_0 for SC8280X family SoC, which doesn't use the
'iommu-map' DT property and doesn't need BDF-to-SID translation
(Qiang Yu)
Rockchip PCIe controller driver:
- Define ROCKCHIP_PCIE_AT_SIZE_ALIGN to replace magic 256 endpoint
.align value (Damien Le Moal)
- When unmapping an endpoint window, compute the region index instead
of searching for it, and verify that the address was mapped (Damien

been mapped already (Damien Le Moal)
- Implement pci_epc_ops.align_addr() for rockchip-ep (Damien Le Moal)
- Fix MSI IRQ data mapping to observe the alignment constraint, which
fixes intermittent page faults in memcpy_toio() and memcpy_fromio()
(Damien Le Moal)
- Rename rockchip_pcie_parse_ep_dt() to
rockchip_pcie_ep_get_resources() for consistency with similar DT
interfaces (Damien Le Moal)
- Skip the unnecessary link train in rockchip_pcie_ep_probe() and do
it only in the endpoint start operation (Damien Le Moal)
- Implement pci_epc_ops.stop_link() to disable link training and
controller configuration (Damien Le Moal)
- Attempt link training at 5 GT/s when both partners support it
(Damien Le Moal)
- Add a handler for PERST# signal so we can detect host-initiated
resets and start link training after PERST# is deasserted (Damien
Le Moal)
Synopsys DesignWare PCIe controller driver:
- Clear outbound address on unmap so dw_pcie_find_index() won't match
an ATU index that was already unmapped (Damien Le Moal)
- Use of_property_present() instead of of_property_read_bool() when
testing for presence of non-boolean DT properties (Rob Herring)
- Advertise 1MB size if endpoint supports Resizable BARs, which was
inadvertently lost in v6.11 (Niklas Cassel)
TI J721E PCIe driver:
- Add PCIe support for J722S SoC (Siddharth Vadapalli)
- Delay PCIE_T_PVPERL_MS (100 ms), not just PCIE_T_PERST_CLK_US (100
us), before deasserting PERST# to ensure power and refclk are

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"The most significant set of changes is the per netns RTNL. The new
behavior is disabled by default, regression risk should be contained.
Notably the new config knob PTP_1588_CLOCK_VMCLOCK will inherit its
default value from PTP_1588_CLOCK_KVM, as the first is intended to be
a more reliable replacement for the latter.
Core:
- Started a very large, in-progress, effort to make the RTNL lock
scope per network-namespace, thus reducing the lock contention
significantly in the containerized use-case, comprising:
- RCU-ified some relevant slices of the FIB control path
- introduce basic per netns locking helpers
- namespacified the IPv4 address hash table
- remove rtnl_register{,_module}() in favour of
rtnl_register_many()
- refactor rtnl_{new,del,set}link() moving as much validation as
possible out of RTNL lock
- convert all phonet doit() and dumpit() handlers to RCU
- convert IPv4 addresses manipulation to per-netns RTNL
- convert virtual interface creation to per-netns RTNL
the per-netns lock infrastructure is guarded by the
CONFIG_DEBUG_NET_SMALL_RTNL knob, disabled by default ad interim.
- Introduce NAPI suspension, to efficiently switching between busy
polling (NAPI processing suspended) and normal processing.
- Migrate the IPv4 routing input, output and control path from direct
ToS usage to DSCP macros. This is a work in progress to make ECN
handling consistent and reliable.
- Add drop reasons support to the IPv4 rotue input path, allowing
better introspection in case of packets drop.
- Make FIB seqnum lockless, dropping RTNL protection for read access.
- Make inet{,v6} addresses hashing less predicable.
- Allow providing timestamp OPT_ID via cmsg, to correlate TX packets
and timestamps
Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:
- Add small file operations for debugfs, to reduce the struct ops
size.
- Refactoring and optimization for the implementation of page_frag
API, This is a preparatory work to consolidate the page_frag
implementation.
Netfilter:
- Optimize set element transactions to reduce memory consumption
- Extended netlink error reporting for attribute parser failure.
- Make legacy xtables configs user selectable, giving users the
option to configure iptables without enabling any other config.
- Address a lot of false-positive RCU issues, pointed by recent CI
improvements.
BPF:
- Put xsk sockets on a struct diet and add various cleanups. Overall,
this helps to bump performance by 12% for some workloads.
- Extend BPF selftests to increase coverage of XDP features in
combination with BPF cpumap.
- Optimize and homogenize bpf_csum_diff helper for all archs and also
add a batch of new BPF selftests for it.
- Extend netkit with an option to delegate skb->{mark,priority}
scrubbing to its BPF program.
- Make the bpf_get_netns_cookie() helper available also to tc(x) BPF
programs.
Protocols:
- Introduces 4-tuple hash for connected udp sockets, speeding-up
significantly connected sockets lookup.
- Add a fastpath for some TCP timers that usually expires after
close, the socket lock contention.
- Add inbound and outbound xfrm state caches to speed up state
lookups.
- Avoid sending MPTCP advertisements on stale subflows, reducing
risks on loosing them.
- Make neighbours table flushing more scalable, maintaining per
device neigh lists.
Driver API:
- Introduce a unified interface to configure transmission H/W
shaping, and expose it to user-space via generic-netlink.
- Add support for per-NAPI config via netlink. This makes napi
configuration persistent across queues removal and re-creation.
Requires driver updates, currently supported drivers are:
nVidia/Mellanox mlx4 and mlx5, Broadcom brcm and Intel ice.
- Add ethtool support for writing SFP / PHY firmware blocks.
- Track RSS context allocation from ethtool core.
- Implement support for mirroring to DSA CPU port, via TC mirror
offload.
- Consolidate FDB updates notification, to avoid duplicates on
device-specific entries.
- Expose DPLL clock quality level to the user-space.
- Support master-slave PHY config via device tree.
Tests and tooling:
- forwarding: introduce deferred commands, to simplify the cleanup
phase
Drivers:
- Updated several drivers - Amazon vNic, Google vNic, Microsoft vNic,
Intel e1000e and Broadcom Tigon3 - to use netdev-genl to link the
IRQs and queues to NAPI IDs, allowing busy polling and better
introspection.
- Ethernet high-speed NICs:
- nVidia/Mellanox:
- mlx5:
- a large refactor to implement support for cross E-Switch
scheduling
- refactor H/W conter management to let it scale better
- H/W GRO cleanups
- Intel (100G, ice)::
- add support for ethtool reset
- implement support for per TX queue H/W shaping
- AMD/Solarflare:
- implement per device queue stats support

Pull RCU updates from Frederic Weisbecker:
"SRCU:
- Introduction of the new SRCU-lite flavour with a new pair of
srcu_read_[un]lock_lite() APIs. In practice the read side using
this flavour becomes lighter by removing a full memory barrier on
LOCK and a full memory barrier on UNLOCK. This comes at the expense
of a higher latency write side with two (in the best case of a
snaphot of unused read-sides) or more RCU grace periods on the
update side which now assumes by itself the whole full ordering
guarantee against the LOCK/UNLOCK counters on both indexes, along
with the accesses performed inside.
Uretprobes is a known potential user.
Note this doesn't replace the default normal flavour of SRCU which
still behaves the same as usual.
- Add testing of SRCU-lite through rcutorture and rcuscale
- Various cleanups on the way.
Fixes:
- Allow short-circuiting RCU-TASKS-RUDE grace periods on
architectures that have sane noinstr boundaries forbidding tracing
on low-level idle and kernel entry code. RCU-TASKS is enough on
such configurations because it involves an RCU grace period that
waits for all idle tasks to either schedule out voluntarily or
enter into RCU unwatched noinstr code.
- Allow and test start_poll_synchronize_rcu() with IRQs disabled.
- Mention rcuog kthreads in relevant documentation and Kconfig help
- Various fixes and consolidations
rcutorture:
- Add --no-affinity on tools to leave the affinity setting of guests
up to the user.
- Add guest_os_delay parameter to rcuscale for better warm-up
control.
- Fix and improve some rcuscale error handling.
- Various cleanups and fixes
stall:
- Remove dead code
- Stop dumping tasks if a stalled grace period eventually ended
midway as that only produces confusing output.
- Optimize detection of stalling CPUs and avoid useless node locking
otherwise.

- Fix rcu_barrier() hang due to a race against callbacks
deoffloading. This is not yet used, except by rcutorture, and waits

The initial HMAC session feature added TPM bus encryption and/or integrity
protection to various in-kernel TPM operations. This can cause performance
bottlenecks with IMA, as it heavily utilizes PCR extend operations.
In order to mitigate this performance issue, introduce a kernel
command-line parameter to the TPM driver for disabling the integrity
protection for PCR extend operations (i.e. TPM2_PCR_Extend).

Introduce a fault injection mechanism to force skb reallocation. The
primary goal is to catch bugs related to pointer invalidation after
potential skb reallocation.
The fault injection mechanism aims to identify scenarios where callers
retain pointers to various headers in the skb but fail to reload these
pointers after calling a function that may reallocate the data. This
type of bug can lead to memory corruption or crashes if the old,
now-invalid pointers are used.
By forcing reallocation through fault injection, we can stress-test code
paths and ensure proper pointer management after potential skb
reallocations.
Add a hook for fault injection in the following functions:
* pskb_trim_rcsum()
* pskb_may_pull_reason()
* pskb_trim()
As the other fault injection mechanism, protect it under a debug Kconfig
called CONFIG_FAIL_SKB_REALLOC.
This patch was *heavily* inspired by Jakub's proposal from:

Add the ``thp_shmem=`` kernel command line to allow specifying the default
policy of each supported shmem hugepage size. The kernel parameter
accepts the following format:
thp_shmem=<size>[KMG],<size>[KMG]:<policy>;<size>[KMG]-<size>[KMG]:<policy>
For example,
thp_shmem=16K-64K:always;128K,512K:inherit;256K:advise;1M-2M:never;4M-8M:within_size
Some GPUs may benefit from using huge pages. Since DRM GEM uses shmem to
allocate anonymous pageable memory, it's essential to control the huge
page allocation policy for the internal shmem mount. This control can be
achieved through the ``transparent_hugepage_shmem=`` parameter.
Beyond just setting the allocation policy, it's crucial to have granular
control over the size of huge pages that can be allocated. The GPU may
support only specific huge page sizes, and allocating pages larger/smaller
than those sizes would be ineffective.

Patch series "mm: add more kernel parameters to control mTHP", v5.
This series introduces four patches related to the kernel parameters
controlling mTHP and a fifth patch replacing `strcpy()` for `strscpy()` in
the file `mm/huge_memory.c`.
The first patch is a straightforward documentation update, correcting the
format of the kernel parameter ``thp_anon=``.
The second, third, and fourth patches focus on controlling THP support for
shmem via the kernel command line. The second patch introduces a
parameter to control the global default huge page allocation policy for
the internal shmem mount. The third patch moves a piece of code to a
shared header to ease the implementation of the fourth patch. Finally,
the fourth patch implements a parameter similar to ``thp_anon=``, but for
shmem.
The goal of these changes is to simplify the configuration of systems that
rely on mTHP support for shmem. For instance, a platform with a GPU that
benefits from huge pages may want to enable huge pages for shmem. Having
these kernel parameters streamlines the configuration process and ensures
consistency across setups.
This patch (of 4):
Add a new kernel command line to control the hugepage allocation policy
for the internal shmem mount, ``transparent_hugepage_shmem``. The
parameter is similar to ``transparent_hugepage`` and has the following
format:
transparent_hugepage_shmem=<policy>
where ``<policy>`` is one of the seven valid policies available for
shmem.
Configuring the default huge page allocation policy for the internal
shmem mount can be beneficial for DRM GPU drivers. Just as CPU
architectures, GPUs can also take advantage of huge pages, but this is
possible only if DRM GEM objects are backed by huge pages.
Since GEM uses shmem to allocate anonymous pageable memory, having control
over the default huge page allocation policy allows for the exploration of
huge pages use on GPUs that rely on GEM objects backed by shmem.

If we add ``thp_anon=32,64K:always`` to the kernel command line, we
will see the following error:
[ 0.000000] huge_memory: thp_anon=32,64K:always: error parsing string, ignoring setting
This happens because the correct format isn't ``thp_anon=<size>,<size>[KMG]:<state>```,
as [KMG] must follow each number to especify its unit. So, the correct
format is ``thp_anon=<size>[KMG],<size>[KMG]:<state>```.
Therefore, adjust the documentation to reflect the correct format of the
parameter ``thp_anon=``.

The old SLAB allocator used to support memory policies on a per
allocation bases. In SLUB the memory policies are applied on a
per page frame / folio bases. Doing so avoids having to check memory
policies in critical code paths for kmalloc and friends.
This worked on general well on Intel/AMD/PowerPC because the
interconnect technology is mature and can minimize the latencies
through intelligent caching even if a small object is not
placed optimally.
However, on ARM we have an emergence of new NUMA interconnect
technology based more on embedded devices. Caching of remote content
can currently be ineffective using the standard building blocks / mesh
available on that platform. Such architectures benefit if each slab
object is individually placed according to memory policies
and other restrictions.
This patch adds another kernel parameter
slab_strict_numa
If that is set then a static branch is activated that will cause
the hotpaths of the allocator to evaluate the current memory
allocation policy. Each object will be properly placed by
paying the price of extra processing and SLUB will no longer
defer to the page allocator to apply memory policies at the
folio level.
This patch improves performance of memcached running
on Ampere Altra 2P system (ARM Neoverse N1 processor)
by 3.6% due to accurate placement of small kernel objects.

At the 2024 Linux Plumbers Conference, I was talking with Hans de Goede
about the persistent buffer to display traces from previous boots. He
mentioned that UEFI can clear memory. In my own tests I have not seen
this. He later informed me that it requires the config option:
CONFIG_RESET_ATTACK_MITIGATION
It appears that setting this will allow the memory to be cleared on boot
up, which will definitely clear out the trace of the previous boot.

Pull x86 kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"x86:
- KVM currently invalidates the entirety of the page tables, not just
those for the memslot being touched, when a memslot is moved or
deleted.
This does not traditionally have particularly noticeable overhead,
but Intel's TDX will require the guest to re-accept private pages
if they are dropped from the secure EPT, which is a non starter.
Actually, the only reason why this is not already being done is a
bug which was never fully investigated and caused VM instability
with assigned GeForce GPUs, so allow userspace to opt into the new
behavior.
- Advertise AVX10.1 to userspace (effectively prep work for the
"real" AVX10 functionality that is on the horizon)
- Rework common MSR handling code to suppress errors on userspace
accesses to unsupported-but-advertised MSRs
This will allow removing (almost?) all of KVM's exemptions for
userspace access to MSRs that shouldn't exist based on the vCPU
model (the actual cleanup is non-trivial future work)
- Rework KVM's handling of x2APIC ICR, again, because AMD (x2AVIC)
splits the 64-bit value into the legacy ICR and ICR2 storage,
whereas Intel (APICv) stores the entire 64-bit value at the ICR
offset
- Fix a bug where KVM would fail to exit to userspace if one was
triggered by a fastpath exit handler
- Add fastpath handling of HLT VM-Exit to expedite re-entering the
guest when there's already a pending wake event at the time of the
exit
- Fix a WARN caused by RSM entering a nested guest from SMM with
invalid guest state, by forcing the vCPU out of guest mode prior to
signalling SHUTDOWN (the SHUTDOWN hits the VM altogether, not the
nested guest)
- Overhaul the "unprotect and retry" logic to more precisely identify
cases where retrying is actually helpful, and to harden all retry
paths against putting the guest into an infinite retry loop
- Add support for yielding, e.g. to honor NEED_RESCHED, when zapping
rmaps in the shadow MMU
- Refactor pieces of the shadow MMU related to aging SPTEs in
prepartion for adding multi generation LRU support in KVM
- Don't stuff the RSB after VM-Exit when RETPOLINE=y and AutoIBRS is
enabled, i.e. when the CPU has already flushed the RSB
- Trace the per-CPU host save area as a VMCB pointer to improve
readability and cleanup the retrieval of the SEV-ES host save area
- Remove unnecessary accounting of temporary nested VMCB related
allocations
- Set FINAL/PAGE in the page fault error code for EPT violations if
and only if the GVA is valid. If the GVA is NOT valid, there is no
guest-side page table walk and so stuffing paging related metadata
is nonsensical
- Fix a bug where KVM would incorrectly synthesize a nested VM-Exit
instead of emulating posted interrupt delivery to L2
- Add a lockdep assertion to detect unsafe accesses of vmcs12
structures
- Harden eVMCS loading against an impossible NULL pointer deref
(really truly should be impossible)
- Minor SGX fix and a cleanup
- Misc cleanups
Generic:
- Register KVM's cpuhp and syscore callbacks when enabling
virtualization in hardware, as the sole purpose of said callbacks
is to disable and re-enable virtualization as needed
- Enable virtualization when KVM is loaded, not right before the
first VM is created
Together with the previous change, this simplifies a lot the logic
of the callbacks, because their very existence implies
virtualization is enabled
- Fix a bug that results in KVM prematurely exiting to userspace for
coalesced MMIO/PIO in many cases, clean up the related code, and
add a testcase
- Fix a bug in kvm_clear_guest() where it would trigger a buffer
overflow _if_ the gpa+len crosses a page boundary, which thankfully
is guaranteed to not happen in the current code base. Add WARNs in
more helpers that read/write guest memory to detect similar bugs
Selftests:
- Fix a goof that caused some Hyper-V tests to be skipped when run on
bare metal, i.e. NOT in a VM
- Add a regression test for KVM's handling of SHUTDOWN for an SEV-ES
guest
- Explicitly include one-off assets in .gitignore. Past Sean was
completely wrong about not being able to detect missing .gitignore
entries
- Verify userspace single-stepping works when KVM happens to handle a
VM-Exit in its fastpath

Pull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt:
- tracing/ring-buffer: persistent buffer across reboots
This allows for the tracing instance ring buffer to stay persistent
across reboots. The way this is done is by adding to the kernel
command line:
trace_instance=boot_map@0x285400000:12M
This will reserve 12 megabytes at the address 0x285400000, and then
map the tracing instance "boot_map" ring buffer to that memory. This
will appear as a normal instance in the tracefs system:
/sys/kernel/tracing/instances/boot_map
A user could enable tracing in that instance, and on reboot or kernel
crash, if the memory is not wiped by the firmware, it will recreate
the trace in that instance. For example, if one was debugging a
shutdown of a kernel reboot:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# echo function > instances/boot_map/current_tracer
# reboot
[..]
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# tail instances/boot_map/trace

swapper/0-1 [000] d..1. 164.549822: acpi_os_write_port <-acpi_reboot
On reboot, the buffer is examined to make sure it is valid. The
validation check even steps through every event to make sure the meta
data of the event is correct. If any test fails, it will simply reset
the buffer, and the buffer will be empty on boot.
- Allow the tracing persistent boot buffer to use the "reserve_mem"
option
Instead of having the admin find a physical address to store the
persistent buffer, which can be very tedious if they have to
administrate several different machines, allow them to use the
"reserve_mem" option that will find a location for them. It is not as
reliable because of KASLR, as the loading of the kernel in different
locations can cause the memory allocated to be inconsistent. Booting
with "nokaslr" can make reserve_mem more reliable.
- Have function graph tracer handle offsets from a previous boot.
The ring buffer output from a previous boot may have different
addresses due to kaslr. Have the function graph tracer handle these
by using the delta from the previous boot to the new boot address
space.
- Only reset the saved meta offset when the buffer is started or reset
In the persistent memory meta data, it holds the previous address
space information, so that it can calculate the delta to have
function tracing work. But this gets updated after being read to hold
the new address space. But if the buffer isn't used for that boot, on
reboot, the delta is now calculated from the previous boot and not
the boot that holds the data in the ring buffer. This causes the
functions not to be shown. Do not save the address space information
of the current kernel until it is being recorded.
- Add a magic variable to test the valid meta data
Add a magic variable in the meta data that can also be used for
validation. The validator of the previous buffer doesn't need this
magic data, but it can be used if the meta data is changed by a new
kernel, which may have the same format that passes the validator but
is used differently. This magic number can also be used as a
"versioning" of the meta data.
- Align user space mapped ring buffer sub buffers to improve TLB
entries
Linus mentioned that the mapped ring buffer sub buffers were
misaligned between the meta page and the sub-buffers, so that if the
sub-buffers were bigger than PAGE_SIZE, it wouldn't allow the TLB to
use bigger entries.
- Add new kernel command line "traceoff" to disable tracing on boot for
instances
If tracing is enabled for a boot instance, there needs a way to be
able to disable it on boot so that new events do not get entered into
the ring buffer and be mixed with events from a previous boot, as
that can be confusing.
- Allow trace_printk() to go to other instances
Currently, trace_printk() can only go to the top level instance. When
debugging with a persistent buffer, it is really useful to be able to
add trace_printk() to go to that buffer, so that you have access to
them after a crash.
- Do not use "bin_printk()" for traces to a boot instance
The bin_printk() saves only a pointer to the printk format in the
ring buffer, as the reader of the buffer can still have access to it.
But this is not the case if the buffer is from a previous boot. If
the trace_printk() is going to a "persistent" buffer, it will use the
slower version that writes the printk format into the buffer.
- Add command line option to allow trace_printk() to go to an instance
Allow the kernel command line to define which instance the
trace_printk() goes to, instead of forcing the admin to set it for
every boot via the tracefs options.
- Start a document that explains how to use tracefs to debug the kernel
- Add some more kernel selftests to test user mapped ring buffer

Pull lsm updates from Paul Moore:
- Move the LSM framework to static calls
This transitions the vast majority of the LSM callbacks into static
calls. Those callbacks which haven't been converted were left as-is
due to the general ugliness of the changes required to support the
static call conversion; we can revisit those callbacks at a future
date.
- Add the Integrity Policy Enforcement (IPE) LSM
This adds a new LSM, Integrity Policy Enforcement (IPE). There is
plenty of documentation about IPE in this patches, so I'll refrain
from going into too much detail here, but the basic motivation behind
IPE is to provide a mechanism such that administrators can restrict
execution to only those binaries which come from integrity protected
storage, e.g. a dm-verity protected filesystem. You will notice that
IPE requires additional LSM hooks in the initramfs, dm-verity, and
fs-verity code, with the associated patches carrying ACK/review tags
from the associated maintainers. We couldn't find an obvious
maintainer for the initramfs code, but the IPE patchset has been
widely posted over several years.
Both Deven Bowers and Fan Wu have contributed to IPE's development
over the past several years, with Fan Wu agreeing to serve as the IPE
maintainer moving forward. Once IPE is accepted into your tree, I'll
start working with Fan to ensure he has the necessary accounts, keys,
etc. so that he can start submitting IPE pull requests to you
directly during the next merge window.
- Move the lifecycle management of the LSM blobs to the LSM framework
Management of the LSM blobs (the LSM state buffers attached to
various kernel structs, typically via a void pointer named "security"
or similar) has been mixed, some blobs were allocated/managed by
individual LSMs, others were managed by the LSM framework itself.
Starting with this pull we move management of all the LSM blobs,
minus the XFRM blob, into the framework itself, improving consistency
across LSMs, and reducing the amount of duplicated code across LSMs.
Due to some additional work required to migrate the XFRM blob, it has
been left as a todo item for a later date; from a practical
standpoint this omission should have little impact as only SELinux
provides a XFRM LSM implementation.
- Fix problems with the LSM's handling of F_SETOWN
The LSM hook for the fcntl(F_SETOWN) operation had a couple of
problems: it was racy with itself, and it was disconnected from the
associated DAC related logic in such a way that the LSM state could
be updated in cases where the DAC state would not. We fix both of
these problems by moving the security_file_set_fowner() hook into the
same section of code where the DAC attributes are updated. Not only
does this resolve the DAC/LSM synchronization issue, but as that code
block is protected by a lock, it also resolve the race condition.
- Fix potential problems with the security_inode_free() LSM hook
Due to use of RCU to protect inodes and the placement of the LSM hook
associated with freeing the inode, there is a bit of a challenge when
it comes to managing any LSM state associated with an inode. The VFS
folks are not open to relocating the LSM hook so we have to get
creative when it comes to releasing an inode's LSM state.
Traditionally we have used a single LSM callback within the hook that
is triggered when the inode is "marked for death", but not actually
released due to RCU.
Unfortunately, this causes problems for LSMs which want to take an
action when the inode's associated LSM state is actually released; so
we add an additional LSM callback, inode_free_security_rcu(), that is
called when the inode's LSM state is released in the RCU free
callback.
- Refactor two LSM hooks to better fit the LSM return value patterns
The vast majority of the LSM hooks follow the "return 0 on success,
negative values on failure" pattern, however, there are a small
handful that have unique return value behaviors which has caused
confusion in the past and makes it difficult for the BPF verifier to
properly vet BPF LSM programs. This includes patches to
convert two of these"special" LSM hooks to the common 0/-ERRNO pattern.
- Various cleanups and improvements
A handful of patches to remove redundant code, better leverage the
IS_ERR_OR_NULL() helper, add missing "static" markings, and do some
minor style fixups.

Pull procfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the following changes for procfs:
- Add config options and parameters to block forcing memory writes.
This adds a Kconfig option and boot param to allow removing the
FOLL_FORCE flag from /proc/<pid>/mem write calls as this can be
used in various attacks.
The traditional forcing behavior is kept as default because it can
break GDB and some other use cases.
This is the simpler version that you had requested.
- Restrict overmounting of ephemeral entities.
It is currently possible to mount on top of various ephemeral
entities in procfs. This specifically includes magic links. To
recap, magic links are links of the form /proc/<pid>/fd/<nr>. They
serve as references to a target file and during path lookup they
cause a jump to the target path. Such magic links disappear if the
corresponding file descriptor is closed.
Currently it is possible to overmount such magic links. This is
mostly interesting for an attacker that wants to somehow trick a
process into e.g., reopening something that it didn't intend to
reopen or to hide a malicious file descriptor.
But also it risks leaking mounts for long-running processes. When
overmounting a magic link like above, the mount will not be
detached when the file descriptor is closed. Only the target
mountpoint will disappear. Which has the consequence of making it
impossible to unmount that mount afterwards. So the mount will
stick around until the process exits and the /proc/<pid>/ directory
is cleaned up during proc_flush_pid() when the dentries are pruned
and invalidated.
That in turn means it's possible for a program to accidentally leak
mounts and it's also possible to make a task leak mounts without
it's knowledge if the attacker just keeps overmounting things under
/proc/<pid>/fd/<nr>.
Disallow overmounting of such ephemeral entities.

Add two new kernel command line parameters to limit the page-sizes
used for v1 page-tables:
nohugepages - Limits page-sizes to 4KiB
v2_pgsizes_only - Limits page-sizes to 4Kib/2Mib/1GiB; The
same as the sizes used with v2 page-tables
This is needed for multiple scenarios. When assigning devices to
SEV-SNP guests the IOMMU page-sizes need to match the sizes in the RMP
table, otherwise the device will not be able to access all shared
memory.
Also, some ATS devices do not work properly with arbitrary IO
page-sizes as supported by AMD-Vi, so limiting the sizes used by the
driver is a suitable workaround.
All-in-all, these parameters are only workarounds until the IOMMU core
and related APIs gather the ability to negotiate the page-sizes in a
better way.

Commit ed5cc702d311 ("block: Add config option to not allow writing to mounted
devices") added a Kconfig option along with a kernel command-line tuning to
control writes to mounted block devices, as a means to deal with fuzzers like
Syzkaller, that provokes kernel crashes by directly writing on block devices
bypassing the filesystem (so the FS has no awareness and cannot cope with that).
The patch just missed adding such kernel command-line option to the kernel
documentation, so let's fix that.

Add an on-by-default module param, enable_virt_at_load, to let userspace
force virtualization to be enabled in hardware when KVM is initialized,
i.e. just before /dev/kvm is exposed to userspace. Enabling virtualization
during KVM initialization allows userspace to avoid the additional latency
when creating/destroying the first/last VM (or more specifically, on the
0=>1 and 1=>0 edges of creation/destruction).
Now that KVM uses the cpuhp framework to do per-CPU enabling, the latency
could be non-trivial as the cpuhup bringup/teardown is serialized across
CPUs, e.g. the latency could be problematic for use case that need to spin
up VMs quickly.
Prior to commit 10474ae8945c ("KVM: Activate Virtualization On Demand"),
KVM _unconditionally_ enabled virtualization during load, i.e. there's no
fundamental reason KVM needs to dynamically toggle virtualization. These
days, the only known argument for not enabling virtualization is to allow
KVM to be autoloaded without blocking other out-of-tree hypervisors, and
such use cases can simply change the module param, e.g. via command line.
Note, the aforementioned commit also mentioned that enabling SVM (AMD's
virtualization extensions) can result in "using invalid TLB entries".
It's not clear whether the changelog was referring to a KVM bug, a CPU
bug, or something else entirely. Regardless, leaving virtualization off
by default is not a robust "fix", as any protection provided is lost the
instant userspace creates the first VM.

Add thp_anon= cmdline parameter to allow specifying the default enablement
of each supported anon THP size. The parameter accepts the following
format and can be provided multiple times to configure each size:
thp_anon=<size>,<size>[KMG]:<value>;<size>-<size>[KMG]:<value>
An example:
thp_anon=16K-64K:always;128K,512K:inherit;256K:madvise;1M-2M:never
See Documentation/admin-guide/mm/transhuge.rst for more details.
Configuring the defaults at boot time is useful to allow early user space
to take advantage of mTHP before its been configured through sysfs.

The traditional forcing behavior is kept as default because
it can break GDB and some other use cases.
Previously we tried a more sophisticated approach allowing

that got NAK-ed by Linus [1], who prefers this simpler
approach with semantics also easier to understand for users.

If the persistent boot mapped ring buffer is used for trace_printk(),
force it to not use the binary versions. trace_printk() by default uses
bin_printf() that only saves the pointer to the format and not the format
itself inside the ring buffer. But for a persistent buffer that is read
after reboot, the pointers to the format strings may not be the same, or
worse, not even exist! Instead, just force the more robust, but slower,
version that does the formatting before saving into the ring buffer.
The boot mapped buffer can now be used for trace_printk and friends!
Using the trace_printk() and the persistent buffer was used to debug the
issue with the osnoise tracer:

Currently, trace_printk() just goes to the top level ring buffer. But
there may be times that it should go to one of the instances created by
the kernel command line.
Add a new trace_instance flag: traceprintk (also can use "printk" or
"trace_printk" as people tend to forget the actual flag name).
trace_instance=foo^traceprintk
Will assign the trace_printk to this buffer at boot up.

Add a "flags" delimiter (^) to the "trace_instance" kernel command line
parameter, and add the "traceoff" flag. The format is:
trace_instance=<name>[^<flag1>[^<flag2>]][@<memory>][,<events>]
The code allows for more than one flag to be added, but currently only
"traceoff" is done so.
The motivation for this change came from debugging with the persistent
ring buffer and having trace_printk() writing to it. The trace_printk
calls are always enabled, and the boot after the crash was having the
unwanted trace_printks from the current boot inject into the ring buffer
with the trace_printks of the crash kernel, making the output very
confusing.

Allow boot instances to use memory reserved by the reserve_mem boot
option.
reserve_mem=12M:4096:trace trace_instance=boot_mapped@trace
The above will allocate 12 megs with 4096 alignment and label it "trace".
The second parameter will create a "boot_mapped" instance and use the
memory reserved and labeled as "trace" 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.
Also note that reserve_mem is not reliable in acquiring the same physical
memory at each soft reboot. It is possible that KALSR could map the kernel
at the previous boot memory location forcing the reserve_mem to return a
different memory location. In this case, the previous ring buffer will be
lost.

The "reserve_mem" kernel command line parameter has been pulled into
v6.11. Merge the latest -rc3 to allow the persistent ring buffer memory to
be able to be mapped at the address specified by the "reserve_mem" command
line parameter.

During CSD-lock stalls, the additional information output by RCU CPU
stall warnings is usually redundant, flooding the console for not good
reason. However, this has been the way things work for a few years.
This commit therefore adds an rcutree.csd_lock_suppress_rcu_stall kernel
boot parameter that causes RCU CPU stall warnings to be abbreviated to
a single line when there is at least one CPU that has been stuck waiting
for CSD lock for more than five seconds.
To make this abbreviated message happen with decent probability:
tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm.sh --allcpus --duration 8 \
--configs "2*TREE01" --kconfig "CONFIG_CSD_LOCK_WAIT_DEBUG=y" \
--bootargs "csdlock_debug=1 rcutorture.stall_cpu=200 \
rcutorture.stall_cpu_holdoff=120 rcutorture.stall_cpu_irqsoff=1 \
rcutree.csd_lock_suppress_rcu_stall=1 \
rcupdate.rcu_exp_cpu_stall_timeout=5000" --trust-make
