50ac57c3b1 Merge tag 'x86_tdx_for_6.18-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 TDX updates from Dave Hansen:
 "The biggest change here is making TDX and kexec play nicely together.

  Before this, the memory encryption hardware (which doesn't respect
  cache coherency) could write back old cachelines on top of data in the
  new kernel, so kexec and TDX were made mutually exclusive. This
  removes the limitation.

  There is also some work to tighten up a hardware bug workaround and
  some MAINTAINERS updates.

   - Make TDX and kexec work together

    - Skip TDX bug workaround when the bug is not present

    - Update maintainers entries"

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "It has been a relatively busy cycle in docsland, with changes all
  over:

   - Bring the kernel memory-model docs into the Sphinx build in the
     "literal include" mode.

   - Lots of build-infrastructure work, further cleaning up long-term
     kernel-doc technical debt. The sphinx-pre-install tool has been
     converted to Python and updated for current systems.

   - A new tool to detect when documents have been moved and generate
     HTML redirects; this can be used on kernel.org (or any other site
     hosting the rendered docs) to avoid breaking links.

   - Automated processing of the YAML files describing the netlink
     protocol.

   - A significant update of the maintainer's PGP guide.

  ... and a seemingly endless series of typo fixes, build-problem fixes,
  etc"

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "It has been a relatively busy cycle for docs, especially the build
  system:

   - The Perl kernel-doc script was added to 2.3.52pre1 just after the
     turn of the millennium. Over the following 25 years, it accumulated
     a vast amount of cruft, all in a language few people want to deal
     with anymore. Mauro's Python replacement in 6.16 faithfully
     reproduced all of the cruft in the hope of avoiding regressions.

     Now that we have a more reasonable code base, though, we can work
     on cleaning it up; many of the changes this time around are toward
     that end.

   - A reorganization of the ext4 docs into the usual TOC format.

   - Various Chinese translations and updates.

   - A new script from Mauro to help with docs-build testing.

   - A new document for linked lists

 "ARM:

   - Host driver for GICv5, the next generation interrupt controller for
     arm64, including support for interrupt routing, MSIs, interrupt
     translation and wired interrupts

   - Use FEAT_GCIE_LEGACY on GICv5 systems to virtualize GICv3 VMs on
     GICv5 hardware, leveraging the legacy VGIC interface

   - Userspace control of the 'nASSGIcap' GICv3 feature, allowing
     userspace to disable support for SGIs w/o an active state on
     hardware that previously advertised it unconditionally

   - Map supporting endpoints with cacheable memory attributes on
     systems with FEAT_S2FWB and DIC where KVM no longer needs to
     perform cache maintenance on the address range

   - Nested support for FEAT_RAS and FEAT_DoubleFault2, allowing the
     guest hypervisor to inject external aborts into an L2 VM and take
     traps of masked external aborts to the hypervisor

   - Convert more system register sanitization to the config-driven
     implementation

   - Fixes to the visibility of EL2 registers, namely making VGICv3
     system registers accessible through the VGIC device instead of the
     ONE_REG vCPU ioctls

   - Various cleanups and minor fixes

  LoongArch:

   - Add stat information for in-kernel irqchip

   - Add tracepoints for CPUCFG and CSR emulation exits

   - Enhance in-kernel irqchip emulation

   - Various cleanups

  RISC-V:

   - Enable ring-based dirty memory tracking

   - Improve perf kvm stat to report interrupt events

   - Delegate illegal instruction trap to VS-mode

   - MMU improvements related to upcoming nested virtualization

  s390x

   - Fixes

  x86:

   - Add CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC for x86 to allow disabling support for I/O
     APIC, PIC, and PIT emulation at compile time

   - Share device posted IRQ code between SVM and VMX and harden it
     against bugs and runtime errors

   - Use vcpu_idx, not vcpu_id, for GA log tag/metadata, to make lookups
     O(1) instead of O(n)

   - For MMIO stale data mitigation, track whether or not a vCPU has
     access to (host) MMIO based on whether the page tables have MMIO
     pfns mapped; using VFIO is prone to false negatives

   - Rework the MSR interception code so that the SVM and VMX APIs are
     more or less identical

   - Recalculate all MSR intercepts from scratch on MSR filter changes,
     instead of maintaining shadow bitmaps

   - Advertise support for LKGS (Load Kernel GS base), a new instruction
     that's loosely related to FRED, but is supported and enumerated
     independently

   - Fix a user-triggerable WARN that syzkaller found by setting the
     vCPU in INIT_RECEIVED state (aka wait-for-SIPI), and then putting
     the vCPU into VMX Root Mode (post-VMXON). Trying to detect every
     possible path leading to architecturally forbidden states is hard
     and even risks breaking userspace (if it goes from valid to valid
     state but passes through invalid states), so just wait until
     KVM_RUN to detect that the vCPU state isn't allowed

   - Add KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_APERFMPERF to allow disabling
     interception of APERF/MPERF reads, so that a "properly" configured
     VM can access APERF/MPERF. This has many caveats (APERF/MPERF
     cannot be zeroed on vCPU creation or saved/restored on suspend and
     resume, or preserved over thread migration let alone VM migration)
     but can be useful whenever you're interested in letting Linux
     guests see the effective physical CPU frequency in /proc/cpuinfo

   - Reject KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ for vm file descriptors if vCPUs have been
     created, as there's no known use case for changing the default
     frequency for other VM types and it goes counter to the very reason
     why the ioctl was added to the vm file descriptor. And also, there
     would be no way to make it work for confidential VMs with a
     "secure" TSC, so kill two birds with one stone

   - Dynamically allocation the shadow MMU's hashed page list, and defer
     allocating the hashed list until it's actually needed (the TDP MMU
     doesn't use the list)

   - Extract many of KVM's helpers for accessing architectural local
     APIC state to common x86 so that they can be shared by guest-side
     code for Secure AVIC

   - Various cleanups and fixes

  x86 (Intel):

   - Preserve the host's DEBUGCTL.FREEZE_IN_SMM when running the guest.
     Failure to honor FREEZE_IN_SMM can leak host state into guests

   - Explicitly check vmcs12.GUEST_DEBUGCTL on nested VM-Enter to
     prevent L1 from running L2 with features that KVM doesn't support,
     e.g. BTF

  x86 (AMD):

   - WARN and reject loading kvm-amd.ko instead of panicking the kernel
     if the nested SVM MSRPM offsets tracker can't handle an MSR (which
     is pretty much a static condition and therefore should never
     happen, but still)

   - Fix a variety of flaws and bugs in the AVIC device posted IRQ code

   - Inhibit AVIC if a vCPU's ID is too big (relative to what hardware
     supports) instead of rejecting vCPU creation

   - Extend enable_ipiv module param support to SVM, by simply leaving
     IsRunning clear in the vCPU's physical ID table entry

   - Disable IPI virtualization, via enable_ipiv, if the CPU is affected
     by erratum #1235, to allow (safely) enabling AVIC on such CPUs

   - Request GA Log interrupts if and only if the target vCPU is
     blocking, i.e. only if KVM needs a notification in order to wake
     the vCPU

   - Intercept SPEC_CTRL on AMD if the MSR shouldn't exist according to
     the vCPU's CPUID model

   - Accept any SNP policy that is accepted by the firmware with respect
     to SMT and single-socket restrictions. An incompatible policy
     doesn't put the kernel at risk in any way, so there's no reason for
     KVM to care

   - Drop a superfluous WBINVD (on all CPUs!) when destroying a VM and
     use WBNOINVD instead of WBINVD when possible for SEV cache
     maintenance

   - When reclaiming memory from an SEV guest, only do cache flushes on
     CPUs that have ever run a vCPU for the guest, i.e. don't flush the
     caches for CPUs that can't possibly have cache lines with dirty,
     encrypted data

  Generic:

   - Rework irqbypass to track/match producers and consumers via an
     xarray instead of a linked list. Using a linked list leads to
     O(n^2) insertion times, which is hugely problematic for use cases
     that create large numbers of VMs. Such use cases typically don't
     actually use irqbypass, but eliminating the pointless registration
     is a future problem to solve as it likely requires new uAPI

   - Track irqbypass's "token" as "struct eventfd_ctx *" instead of a
     "void *", to avoid making a simple concept unnecessarily difficult
     to understand

   - Decouple device posted IRQs from VFIO device assignment, as binding
     a VM to a VFIO group is not a requirement for enabling device
     posted IRQs

   - Clean up and document/comment the irqfd assignment code

   - Disallow binding multiple irqfds to an eventfd with a priority
     waiter, i.e. ensure an eventfd is bound to at most one irqfd
     through the entire host, and add a selftest to verify eventfd:irqfd
     bindings are globally unique

   - Add a tracepoint for KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES to help debug issues
     related to private <=> shared memory conversions

   - Drop guest_memfd's .getattr() implementation as the VFS layer will
     call generic_fillattr() if inode_operations.getattr is NULL

   - Fix issues with dirty ring harvesting where KVM doesn't bound the
     processing of entries in any way, which allows userspace to keep
     KVM in a tight loop indefinitely

   - Kill off kvm_arch_{start,end}_assignment() and x86's associated
     tracking, now that KVM no longer uses assigned_device_count as a
     heuristic for either irqbypass usage or MDS mitigation

  Selftests:

   - Fix a comment typo

   - Verify KVM is loaded when getting any KVM module param so that
     attempting to run a selftest without kvm.ko loaded results in a
     SKIP message about KVM not being loaded/enabled (versus some random
     parameter not existing)

   - Skip tests that hit EACCES when attempting to access a file, and
     print a "Root required?" help message. In most cases, the test just
     needs to be run with elevated permissions"

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "A quick summary: perf support for Branch Record Buffer Extensions
  (BRBE), typical PMU hardware updates, small additions to MTE for
  store-only tag checking and exposing non-address bits to signal
  handlers, HAVE_LIVEPATCH enabled on arm64, VMAP_STACK forced on.

  There is also a TLBI optimisation on hardware that does not require
  break-before-make when changing the user PTEs between contiguous and
  non-contiguous.

  More details:

  Perf and PMU updates:

   - Add support for new (v3) Hisilicon SLLC and DDRC PMUs

   - Add support for Arm-NI PMU integrations that share interrupts
     between clock domains within a given instance

   - Allow SPE to be configured with a lower sample period than the
     minimum recommendation advertised by PMSIDR_EL1.Interval

   - Add suppport for Arm's "Branch Record Buffer Extension" (BRBE)

   - Adjust the perf watchdog period according to cpu frequency changes

   - Minor driver fixes and cleanups

  Hardware features:

   - Support for MTE store-only checking (FEAT_MTE_STORE_ONLY)

   - Support for reporting the non-address bits during a synchronous MTE
     tag check fault (FEAT_MTE_TAGGED_FAR)

   - Optimise the TLBI when folding/unfolding contiguous PTEs on
     hardware with FEAT_BBM (break-before-make) level 2 and no TLB
     conflict aborts

  Software features:

   - Enable HAVE_LIVEPATCH after implementing arch_stack_walk_reliable()
     and using the text-poke API for late module relocations

   - Force VMAP_STACK always on and change arm64_efi_rt_init() to use
     arch_alloc_vmap_stack() in order to avoid KASAN false positives

  ACPI:

   - Improve SPCR handling and messaging on systems lacking an SPCR
     table

  Debug:

   - Simplify the debug exception entry path

   - Drop redundant DBG_MDSCR_* macros

  Kselftests:

   - Cleanups and improvements for SME, SVE and FPSIMD tests

  Miscellaneous:

   - Optimise loop to reduce redundant operations in contpte_ptep_get()

   - Remove ISB when resetting POR_EL0 during signal handling

   - Mark the kernel as tainted on SEA and SError panic

   - Remove redundant gcs_free() call"

KVM/arm64 changes for 6.17, round #1

 - Host driver for GICv5, the next generation interrupt controller for
   arm64, including support for interrupt routing, MSIs, interrupt
   translation and wired interrupts.

 - Use FEAT_GCIE_LEGACY on GICv5 systems to virtualize GICv3 VMs on
   GICv5 hardware, leveraging the legacy VGIC interface.

 - Userspace control of the 'nASSGIcap' GICv3 feature, allowing
   userspace to disable support for SGIs w/o an active state on hardware
   that previously advertised it unconditionally.

 - Map supporting endpoints with cacheable memory attributes on systems
   with FEAT_S2FWB and DIC where KVM no longer needs to perform cache
   maintenance on the address range.

 - Nested support for FEAT_RAS and FEAT_DoubleFault2, allowing the guest
   hypervisor to inject external aborts into an L2 VM and take traps of
   masked external aborts to the hypervisor.

 - Convert more system register sanitization to the config-driven
   implementation.

 - Fixes to the visibility of EL2 registers, namely making VGICv3 system
   registers accessible through the VGIC device instead of the ONE_REG
   vCPU ioctls.

 - Various cleanups and minor fixes.

57fbad15c2 stackleak: Rename STACKLEAK to KSTACK_ERASE
In preparation for adding Clang sanitizer coverage stack depth tracking
that can support stack depth callbacks:

- Add the new top-level CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE option which will be
  implemented either with the stackleak GCC plugin, or with the Clang
  stack depth callback support.
- Rename CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STACKLEAK as needed to CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE,
  but keep it for anything specific to the GCC plugin itself.
- Rename all exposed "STACKLEAK" names and files to "KSTACK_ERASE" (named
  for what it does rather than what it protects against), but leave as
  many of the internals alone as possible to avoid even more churn.

While here, also split "prev_lowest_stack" into CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE_METRICS,
since that's the only place it is referenced from.

727258025b s390/net: Remove NETIUCV device driver
The netiucv driver creates TCP/IP interfaces over IUCV between Linux
guests on z/VM and other z/VM entities.

Rationale for removal:
- NETIUCV connections are only supported for compatibility with
  earlier versions and not to be used for new network setups,
  since at least Linux kernel 4.0.
- No known active users, use cases, or product dependencies
- The driver is no longer relevant for z/VM networking;
  preferred methods include:
	* Device pass-through (e.g., OSA, RoCE)
	* z/VM Virtual Switch (VSWITCH)

The IUCV mechanism itself remains supported and is actively used
via AF_IUCV, hvc_iucv, and smsg_iucv.

ae344bcb0d arm64: Handle BRBE booting requirements
To use the Branch Record Buffer Extension (BRBE), some configuration is
necessary at EL3 and EL2. This patch documents the requirements and adds
the initial EL2 setup code, which largely consists of configuring the
fine-grained traps and initializing a couple of BRBE control registers.

Before this patch, __init_el2_fgt() would initialize HDFGRTR_EL2 and
HDFGWTR_EL2 with the same value, relying on the read/write trap controls
for a register occupying the same bit position in either register. The
'nBRBIDR' trap control only exists in bit 59 of HDFGRTR_EL2, while bit
59 of HDFGWTR_EL2 is RES0, and so this assumption no longer holds.

To handle HDFGRTR_EL2 and HDFGWTR_EL2 having (slightly) different bit
layouts, __init_el2_fgt() is changed to accumulate the HDFGRTR_EL2 and
HDFGWTR_EL2 control bits separately. While making this change the
open-coded value (1 << 62) is replaced with
HDFG{R,W}TR_EL2_nPMSNEVFR_EL1_MASK.

The BRBCR_EL1 and BRBCR_EL2 registers are unusual and require special
initialisation: even though they are subject to E2H renaming, both have
an effect regardless of HCR_EL2.TGE, even when running at EL2. So we
must initialize BRBCR_EL2 in case we run in nVHE mode. This is handled
in __init_el2_brbe() with a comment to explain the situation.

7c7f55039b arm64: Report address tag when FEAT_MTE_TAGGED_FAR is supported
If FEAT_MTE_TAGGED_FAR (Armv8.9) is supported, bits 63:60 of the fault address
are preserved in response to synchronous tag check faults (SEGV_MTESERR).

This patch modifies below to support this feature:
  - Use the original FAR_EL1 value when an MTE tag check fault occurs,
    if ARM64_MTE_FAR is supported so that not only logical tag
    (bits 59:56) but also address tag (bits 63:60] being reported too.

  - Add HWCAP for mtefar to let user know bits 63:60 includes
    address tag information when when FEAT_MTE_TAGGED_FAR is supported.

Applications that require this information should install
a signal handler with the SA_EXPOSE_TAGBITS flag.
While this introduces a minor ABI change,
most applications do not set this flag and therefore will not be affected.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "As far as x86 goes this pull request "only" includes TDX host support.

  Quotes are appropriate because (at 6k lines and 100+ commits) it is
  much bigger than the rest, which will come later this week and
  consists mostly of bugfixes and selftests. s390 changes will also come
  in the second batch.

  ARM:

   - Add large stage-2 mapping (THP) support for non-protected guests
     when pKVM is enabled, clawing back some performance.

   - Enable nested virtualisation support on systems that support it,
     though it is disabled by default.

   - Add UBSAN support to the standalone EL2 object used in nVHE/hVHE
     and protected modes.

   - Large rework of the way KVM tracks architecture features and links
     them with the effects of control bits. While this has no functional
     impact, it ensures correctness of emulation (the data is
     automatically extracted from the published JSON files), and helps
     dealing with the evolution of the architecture.

   - Significant changes to the way pKVM tracks ownership of pages,
     avoiding page table walks by storing the state in the hypervisor's
     vmemmap. This in turn enables the THP support described above.

   - New selftest checking the pKVM ownership transition rules

   - Fixes for FEAT_MTE_ASYNC being accidentally advertised to guests
     even if the host didn't have it.

   - Fixes for the address translation emulation, which happened to be
     rather buggy in some specific contexts.

   - Fixes for the PMU emulation in NV contexts, decoupling PMCR_EL0.N
     from the number of counters exposed to a guest and addressing a
     number of issues in the process.

   - Add a new selftest for the SVE host state being corrupted by a
     guest.

   - Keep HCR_EL2.xMO set at all times for systems running with the
     kernel at EL2, ensuring that the window for interrupts is slightly
     bigger, and avoiding a pretty bad erratum on the AmpereOne HW.

   - Add workaround for AmpereOne's erratum AC04_CPU_23, which suffers
     from a pretty bad case of TLB corruption unless accesses to HCR_EL2
     are heavily synchronised.

   - Add a per-VM, per-ITS debugfs entry to dump the state of the ITS
     tables in a human-friendly fashion.

   - and the usual random cleanups.

  LoongArch:

   - Don't flush tlb if the host supports hardware page table walks.

   - Add KVM selftests support.

  RISC-V:

   - Add vector registers to get-reg-list selftest

   - VCPU reset related improvements

   - Remove scounteren initialization from VCPU reset

   - Support VCPU reset from userspace using set_mpstate() ioctl

  x86:

   - Initial support for TDX in KVM.

     This finally makes it possible to use the TDX module to run
     confidential guests on Intel processors. This is quite a large
     series, including support for private page tables (managed by the
     TDX module and mirrored in KVM for efficiency), forwarding some
     TDVMCALLs to userspace, and handling several special VM exits from
     the TDX module.

     This has been in the works for literally years and it's not really
     possible to describe everything here, so I'll defer to the various
     merge commits up to and including commit 7bcf7246c4 ('Merge
     branch 'kvm-tdx-finish-initial' into HEAD')"

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
 "The headline feature is the re-enablement of support for Arm's
  Scalable Matrix Extension (SME) thanks to a bumper crop of fixes
  from Mark Rutland.

  If matrices aren't your thing, then Ryan's page-table optimisation
  work is much more interesting.

  Summary:

  ACPI, EFI and PSCI:

   - Decouple Arm's "Software Delegated Exception Interface" (SDEI)
     support from the ACPI GHES code so that it can be used by platforms
     booted with device-tree

   - Remove unnecessary per-CPU tracking of the FPSIMD state across EFI
     runtime calls

   - Fix a node refcount imbalance in the PSCI device-tree code

  CPU Features:

   - Ensure register sanitisation is applied to fields in ID_AA64MMFR4

   - Expose AIDR_EL1 to userspace via sysfs, primarily so that KVM
     guests can reliably query the underlying CPU types from the VMM

   - Re-enabling of SME support (CONFIG_ARM64_SME) as a result of fixes
     to our context-switching, signal handling and ptrace code

  Entry code:

   - Hook up TIF_NEED_RESCHED_LAZY so that CONFIG_PREEMPT_LAZY can be
     selected

  Memory management:

   - Prevent BSS exports from being used by the early PI code

   - Propagate level and stride information to the low-level TLB
     invalidation routines when operating on hugetlb entries

   - Use the page-table contiguous hint for vmap() mappings with
     VM_ALLOW_HUGE_VMAP where possible

   - Optimise vmalloc()/vmap() page-table updates to use "lazy MMU mode"
     and hook this up on arm64 so that the trailing DSB (used to publish
     the updates to the hardware walker) can be deferred until the end
     of the mapping operation

   - Extend mmap() randomisation for 52-bit virtual addresses (on par
     with 48-bit addressing) and remove limited support for
     randomisation of the linear map

  Perf and PMUs:

   - Add support for probing the CMN-S3 driver using ACPI

   - Minor driver fixes to the CMN, Arm-NI and amlogic PMU drivers

  Selftests:

   - Fix FPSIMD and SME tests to align with the freshly re-enabled SME
     support

   - Fix default setting of the OUTPUT variable so that tests are
     installed in the right location

  vDSO:

   - Replace raw counter access from inline assembly code with a call to
     the the __arch_counter_get_cntvct() helper function

  Miscellaneous:

   - Add some missing header inclusions to the CCA headers

   - Rework rendering of /proc/cpuinfo to follow the x86-approach and
     avoid repeated buffer expansion (the user-visible format remains
     identical)

   - Remove redundant selection of CONFIG_CRC32

   - Extend early error message when failing to map the device-tree
     blob"

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "A moderately busy cycle for documentation this time around:

   - The most significant change is the replacement of the old
     kernel-doc script (a monstrous collection of Perl regexes that
     predates the Git era) with a Python reimplementation. That, too, is
     a horrifying collection of regexes, but in a much cleaner and more
     maintainable structure that integrates far better with the Sphinx
     build system.

     This change has been in linux-next for the full 6.15 cycle; the
     small number of problems that turned up have been addressed,
     seemingly to everybody's satisfaction. The Perl kernel-doc script
     remains in tree (as scripts/kernel-doc.pl) and can be used with a
     command-line option if need be. Unless some reason to keep it
     around materializes, it will probably go away in 6.17.

     Credit goes to Mauro Carvalho Chehab for doing all this work.

   - Some RTLA documentation updates

   - A handful of Chinese translations

   - The usual collection of typo fixes, general updates, etc"
