The shadow MMU computes GFNs for direct shadow pages using sp->gfn plus
the SPTE index. This assumption breaks for shadow paging if the guest
page tables are modified between VM entries (similar to commit
aad885e774, "KVM: x86/mmu: Drop/zap existing present SPTE even
when creating an MMIO SPTE", 2026-03-27). The flow is as follows:
- a PDE is installed for a 2MB mapping, and a page in that area is
accessed. KVM creates a kvm_mmu_page consisting of 512 4KB pages;
the kvm_mmu_page is marked by FNAME(fetch) as direct-mapped because
the guest's mapping is a huge page (and thus contiguous).
- the PDE mapping is changed from outside the guest.
- the guest accesses another page in the same 2MB area. KVM installs
a new leaf SPTE and rmap entry; the SPTE uses the "correct" GFN
(i.e. based on the new mapping, as changed in the previous step) but
that GFN is outside of the [sp->gfn, sp->gfn + 511] range; therefore
the rmap entry cannot be found and removed when the kvm_mmu_page
is zapped.
- the memslot that covers the first 2MB mapping is deleted, and the
kvm_mmu_page for the now-invalid GPA is zapped. However, rmap_remove()
only looks at the [sp->gfn, sp->gfn + 511] range established in step 1,
and fails to find the rmap entry that was recorded by step 3.
- any operation that causes an rmap walk for the same page accessed
by step 3 then walks a stale rmap and dereferences a freed kvm_mmu_page.
This includes dirty logging or MMU notifier invalidations (e.g., from
MADV_DONTNEED).
The underlying issue is that KVM's walking of shadow PTEs assumes that
if a SPTE is present when KVM wants to install a non-leaf SPTE, then the
existing kvm_mmu_page must be for the correct gfn. Because the only way
for the gfn to be wrong is if KVM messed up and failed to zap a SPTE...
which shouldn't happen, but *actually* only happens in response to a
guest write.
That bug dates back literally forever, as even the first version of KVM
assumes that the GFN matches and walks into the "wrong" shadow page.
However, that was only an imprecision until 2032a93d66 ("KVM: MMU:
Don't allocate gfns page for direct mmu pages") came along.
Fix it by checking for a target gfn mismatch and zapping the existing
SPTE. That way the old SP and rmap entries are gone, KVM installs
the rmap in the right location, and everyone is happy.
Fixes: 2032a93d66 ("KVM: MMU: Don't allocate gfns page for direct mmu pages")
Fixes: 6aa8b732ca ("kvm: userspace interface")

Rename kvm_apic_update_irr()'s "irr_updated" and vmx_sync_pir_to_irr()'s
"got_posted_interrupt" to a more accurate "max_irr_is_from_pir", as neither
"irr_updated" nor "got_posted_interrupt" is accurate.
__kvm_apic_update_irr() and thus kvm_apic_update_irr() specifically return
true if and only if the highest priority IRQ, i.e. max_irr, is a "new"
pending IRQ from the PIR. I.e. it's possible for the IRR to be updated,
i.e. for a posted IRQ to be "got", *without* the APIs returning true.
Expand vmx_sync_pir_to_irr()'s comment to explain why it's necessary to
set KVM_REQ_EVENT only if a "new" IRQ was found, and to explain why it's
safe to do so only if a new IRQ is also the highest priority pending IRQ.
No functional change intended.

Fall back to apic_find_highest_vector() when PID.ON is set but PIR
turns out to be empty, to correctly report the highest pending interrupt
from the existing IRR.
In a nested VM stress test, the following WARNING fires in
vmx_check_nested_events() when kvm_cpu_has_interrupt() reports a pending
interrupt but the subsequent kvm_apic_has_interrupt() (which invokes
vmx_sync_pir_to_irr() again) returns -1:
WARNING: CPU: 99 PID: 57767 at arch/x86/kvm/vmx/nested.c:4449 vmx_check_nested_events+0x6bf/0x6e0 [kvm_intel]
Call Trace:

vcpu_run
kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run
kvm_vcpu_ioctl
__x64_sys_ioctl
do_syscall_64
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe
The root cause is a race between vmx_sync_pir_to_irr() on the target vCPU
and __vmx_deliver_posted_interrupt() on a sender vCPU. The sender
performs two individually-atomic operations that are not a single
transaction:
1. pi_test_and_set_pir(vector) -- sets the PIR bit
2. pi_test_and_set_on() -- sets PID.ON
The following interleaving triggers the bug:
Sender vCPU (IPI): Target vCPU (1st sync_pir_to_irr):
B1: set PIR[vector]
A1: pi_clear_on()
A2: pi_harvest_pir() -> sees B1 bit
A3: xchg() -> consumes bit, PIR=0
(1st sync returns correct max_irr)
B2: set PID.ON = 1
Target vCPU (2nd sync_pir_to_irr):
C1: pi_test_on() -> TRUE (from B2)
C2: pi_clear_on() -> ON=0
C3: pi_harvest_pir() -> PIR empty
C4: *max_irr = -1, early return
IRR NOT SCANNED
The interrupt is not lost (it resides in the IRR from the first sync and
is recovered on the next vcpu_enter_guest() iteration), but the incorrect
max_irr causes a spurious WARNING and a wasted L2 VM-Enter/VM-Exit cycle.

KVM selftests type renames for 7.1
Renames types across all KVM selftests to more closely align with types used
in the kernel:
vm_vaddr_t -> gva_t
vm_paddr_t -> gpa_t
uint64_t -> u64
uint32_t -> u32
uint16_t -> u16
uint8_t -> u8
int64_t -> s64
int32_t -> s32
int16_t -> s16
int8_t -> s8
Using the kernel's preferred types eliminates a source of friction for many
contributors, as the majority of KVM selftests contributions come from kernel
developers. The kernel names are also shorter, which allows for more concise
code, and in any many cases eliminates newlines thanks to shorter types and
parameter names.
Rename variables and parameters as well as types, e.g. gpa instead of paddr,
to again align with the kernel, and in a few cases to remove ambiguity, e.g.
where paddr is used to refer to a _host_ physical address.
KVM/arm64 fixes for 7.1, take #1
- Allow tracing for non-pKVM, which was accidentally disabled when
the series was merged
- Rationalise the way the pKVM hypercall ranges are defined by using
the same mechanism as already used for the vcpu_sysreg enum
- Enforce that SMCCC function numbers relayed by the pKVM proxy are
actually compliant with the specification
- Fix a couple of feature to idreg mappings which resulted in the
wrong sanitisation being applied
- Fix the GICD_IIDR revision number field that could never been
written correctly by userspace
- Make kvm_vcpu_initialized() correctly use its parameter instead
of relying on the surrounding context
- Enforce correct ordering in __pkvm_init_vcpu(), plugging a
potential pin leak at the same time
- Move __pkvm_init_finalise() to a less dangerous spot, avoiding
future problems
- Restore functional userspace irqchip support after a four year
breakage (last functional kernel was 5.18...). This is obviously
ripe for garbage collection.
- ... and the usual lot of spelling fixes

x86_energy_perf_policy accesses the SoC Slider via standard

Machines that support SoC Slider largely use it instead of EPP,
which may continue to exist in a diminished role, or vanish entirely.

When processor_thermal_soc_slider is loaded, its slider
and offset modparams are visible. Check that the driver
actually registered the profile named "SoC Slider" before
reading or writing these modparams.
n.b. This utility allows writing the Slider and Offset modparams
even if the driver policy is not "balanced". Currently the
processor_thermal_soc_slider consults those modparams
only in "balanced" mode.

Pull ring-buffer fix from Steven Rostedt:
- Fix accounting of persistent ring buffer rewind
On boot up, the head page is moved back to the earliest point of the
saved ring buffer. This is because the ring buffer being read by user
space on a crash may not save the part it read. Rewinding the head
page back to the earliest saved position helps keep those events from
being lost.
The number of events is also read during boot up and displayed in the
stats file in the tracefs directory. It's also used for other
accounting as well. On boot up, the "reader page" is accounted for
but a rewind may put it back into the buffer and then the reader page
may be accounted for again.
Save off the original reader page and skip accounting it when
scanning the pages in the ring buffer.

cleanup path, making future changes unlikely to mess that up

cqe->res is used directly, which if other codes changes could
then be an error value
- Fix for an issue with the futex code, where partial wakes on a

Pull spi fixes from Mark Brown:
"This is quite a big set of fixes, almost all from Johan Hovold who is
on an ongoing quest to clean up issues with probe and removal handling
in drivers.
There isn't anything too concerning here especially with the
deregistration stuff which will very rarely get run in production
systems since this is all platform devices in the SoC on embedded
hardware, but it's all real issues which should be fixed. There's more
in flight here.
We also have a few other minor fixes, one from Felix Gu along the same
lines as Johan's work and a couple of documentation things"

Pull RISC-V updates from Paul Walmsley:
"There is one significant change outside arch/riscv in this pull
request: the addition of a set of KUnit tests for strlen(), strnlen(),
and strrchr().
Otherwise, the most notable changes are to add some RISC-V-specific
string function implementations, to remove XIP kernel support, to add
hardware error exception handling, and to optimize our runtime
unaligned access speed testing.
A few comments on the motivation for removing XIP support. It's been
broken in the RISC-V kernel for months. The code is not easy to
maintain. Furthermore, for XIP support to truly be useful for RISC-V,
we think that compile-time feature switches would need to be added for
many of the RISC-V ISA features and microarchitectural properties that
are currently implemented with runtime patching. No one has stepped
forward to take responsibility for that work, so many of us think it's
best to remove it until clear use cases and champions emerge.
Summary:
- Add Kunit correctness testing and microbenchmarks for strlen(),
strnlen(), and strrchr()
- Add RISC-V-specific strnlen(), strchr(), strrchr() implementations
- Add hardware error exception handling
- Clean up and optimize our unaligned access probe code
- Enable HAVE_IOREMAP_PROT to be able to use generic_access_phys()
- Remove XIP kernel support
- Warn when addresses outside the vmemmap range are passed to
vmemmap_populate()
- Update the ACPI FADT revision check to warn if it's not at least
ACPI v6.6, which is when key RISC-V-specific tables were added to
the specification
- Increase COMMAND_LINE_SIZE to 2048 to match ARM64, x86, PowerPC,
etc.
- Make kaslr_offset() a static inline function, since there's no need
for it to show up in the symbol table
- Add KASLR offset and SATP to the VMCOREINFO ELF notes to improve
kdump support
- Add Makefile cleanup rule for vdso_cfi copied source files, and add
a .gitignore for the build artifacts in that directory
- Remove some redundant ifdefs that check Kconfig macros
- Add missing SPDX license tag to the CFI selftest
- Simplify UTS_MACHINE assignment in the RISC-V Makefile
- Clarify some unclear comments and remove some superfluous comments
- Fix various English typos across the RISC-V codebase"

Pull networking deletions from Jakub Kicinski:
"Delete some obsolete networking code
Old code like amateur radio and NFC have long been a burden to core
networking developers. syzbot loves to find bugs in BKL-era code, and
noobs try to fix them.
If we want to have a fighting chance of surviving the LLM-pocalypse
this code needs to find a dedicated owner or get deleted. We've talked
about these deletions multiple times in the past and every time
someone wanted the code to stay. It is never very clear to me how many
of those people actually use the code vs are just nostalgic to see it
go. Amateur radio did have occasional users (or so I think) but most
users switched to user space implementations since its all super slow
stuff. Nobody stepped up to maintain the kernel code.
We were lucky enough to find someone who wants to help with NFC so
we're giving that a chance. Let's try to put the rest of this code
behind us"

This bug was already discovered and fixed for arm64 in
commit 588a513d34 ("arm64: Fix race condition on PG_dcache_clean in

Verified with added instrumentation to track dcache flushes in a ring
buffer, as shown by the (distilled) output:
kernel: SIGILL at b6b80ac0 cpu 1 pid 32663 linux_pte=8eff659f

Discussions in the mailing list mentioned that arch/arm is also affected
but the fix was never applied to it [1][2]. Apply the change now, since
the race condition can cause sporadic SIGILL's and SEGV's especially
while under high memory pressure.

tl;dr: Revert an INVLPGB optimization that did not properly handle
discontiguous virtual addresses.
Full story:
I got a report from some graphics (i915) folks that bisected a
regression in their test suite to 86e6815b31 ("x86/mm: Change
cpa_flush() to call flush_kernel_range() directly"). There was a bit
of flip-flopping on the exact bisect, but the code here does seem
wrong to me. The i915 folks were calling set_pages_array_wc(), so
using the CPA_PAGES_ARRAY mode.
Basically, the 'struct cpa_data' can wrap up all kinds of page table
changes. Some of these are virtually contiguous, but some are very
much not which is one reason why there are ->vaddr and ->pages arrays.
86e6815b31 made the mistake of assuming that the virtual addresses
in the cpa_data are always contiguous. It got things right when neither
CPA_ARRAY/CPA_PAGES_ARRAY is used, but theoretically wrong when either
of those is used.
In the i915 case, it probably failed to flush some WB TLB entries and
install WC ones, leaving some data in the caches and not flushing it
out to where the device could see it. That eventually caused graphics
problems.
Revert the INVLPGB optimization. It can be reintroduced later, but it
will need to be a bit careful about the array modes.
