- Inject #UD if the guest attempts to execute SEAMCALL or TDCALL as
KVM doesn't support virtualization the instructions, but the
instructions are gated only by VMXON. That is, they will VM-Exit
instead of taking a #UD and until now this resulted in KVM exiting
to userspace with an emulation error.
- Unload the "FPU" when emulating INIT of XSTATE features if and only
if the FPU is actually loaded, instead of trying to predict when
KVM will emulate an INIT (CET support missed the MP_STATE path).
Add sanity checks to detect and harden against similar bugs in the
future.
- Unregister KVM's GALog notifier (for AVIC) when kvm-amd.ko is
unloaded.
- Use a raw spinlock for svm->ir_list_lock as the lock is taken
during schedule(), and "normal" spinlocks are sleepable locks when
PREEMPT_RT=y.
- Remove guest_memfd bindings on memslot deletion when a gmem file is
dying to fix a use-after-free race found by syzkaller.
- Fix a goof in the EPT Violation handler where KVM checks the wrong

The assembler has .insn for building custom instructions
now, so change the .4byte to .insn. This ensures the output
is marked as an instruction and not as data which may
confuse both debuggers and anything else that relies on
this sort of marking.
Add an ASM_INSN_I() wrapper in asm.h to allow the selecting
of how this is output so older assemblers are still good.

The current code directly overwrites the scratch pointer with the
return value of kvrealloc(). If kvrealloc() fails and returns NULL,
the original buffer becomes unreachable, causing a memory leak.
Fix this by using a temporary variable to store kvrealloc()'s return
value and only update the scratch pointer on success.

The pt_dump_seq_puts() macro incorrectly uses seq_printf() instead of
seq_puts(). This is both a performance issue and conceptually wrong,
as the macro name suggests plain string output (puts) but the
implementation uses formatted output (printf).
The macro is used in ptdump.c:301 to output a newline character. Using
seq_printf() adds unnecessary overhead for format string parsing when
outputting this constant string.
This bug was introduced in commit 59c4da8640 ("riscv: Add support to
dump the kernel page tables") in 2020, which copied the implementation
pattern from other architectures that had the same bug.

In has_thead_homogeneous_vlenb(), smatch detected that the vlenb variable

no CPUs described in DT have the "thead,vlenb" property.
Fix by initializing vlenb to 0, which will keep thead_vlenb_of set to 0

riscv_v_setup_vsize() to fall back to CSR probing - the desired result if
thead,vlenb isn't provided in the DT data.

The hwprobe vDSO data for some keys, like MISALIGNED_VECTOR_PERF,
is determined by an asynchronous kthread. This can create a race
condition where the kthread finishes after the vDSO data has
already been populated, causing userspace to read stale values.
To fix this race, a new 'ready' flag is added to the vDSO data,
initialized to 'false' during arch_initcall_sync. This flag is
checked by both the vDSO's user-space code and the riscv_hwprobe
syscall. The syscall serves as a one-time gate, using a completion
to wait for any pending probes before populating the data and
setting the flag to 'true', thus ensuring userspace reads fresh
values on its first request.

same as pgprot_noncached() unless architecture overrides it.
Currently, there is no pgprot_dmacoherent() definition for
RISC-V hence non-coherent device memory is being mapped as
IO thereby making CPU access to such memory slow.
Define pgprot_dmacoherent() to be same as pgprot_writecombine()

When cpu is offline, cpu_online_mask is explicitly cleared in
__cpu_disable. However, there is no explicit clearing of
mm_cpumask. mm_cpumask is used for rfence operations that
call openSBI RFENCE extension which uses ipi to remote harts.
If hart is offline there may be error if mask of linux is not

The current value of BUFMAX is similar as in other architectures, but as
per documentation on KGDB (see
'Documentation/process/debugging/kgdb.rst'), BUFMAX has to be larger
than NUMREGBYTES.
Some NUMREGBYTES architectures (e.g. powerpc or hexagon) actually define
BUFMAX in relation to NUMREGBYTES, and thus this condition is always
guaranteed. Since 2048 is a value that is generally accepted on all
architectures, and that is larger than the current value of NUMREGBYTES,
we can keep this value in arch/riscv, but we can at least add an
'static_assert' as an extra measure just in case NUMREGBYTES changes in
the future for some unforseen reason.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"This excludes the bulk of the x86 changes, which I will send
separately. They have two not complex but relatively unusual conflicts
so I will wait for other dust to settle.
guest_memfd:
- Add support for host userspace mapping of guest_memfd-backed memory
for VM types that do NOT use support KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_PRIVATE
(which isn't precisely the same thing as CoCo VMs, since x86's
SEV-MEM and SEV-ES have no way to detect private vs. shared).
This lays the groundwork for removal of guest memory from the
kernel direct map, as well as for limited mmap() for
guest_memfd-backed memory.

ARM:
- Add support for FF-A 1.2 as the secure memory conduit for pKVM,
allowing more registers to be used as part of the message payload.
- Change the way pKVM allocates its VM handles, making sure that the
privileged hypervisor is never tricked into using uninitialised
data.
- Speed up MMIO range registration by avoiding unnecessary RCU
synchronisation, which results in VMs starting much quicker.
- Add the dump of the instruction stream when panic-ing in the EL2
payload, just like the rest of the kernel has always done. This
will hopefully help debugging non-VHE setups.
- Add 52bit PA support to the stage-1 page-table walker, and make use
of it to populate the fault level reported to the guest on failing
to translate a stage-1 walk.
- Add NV support to the GICv3-on-GICv5 emulation code, ensuring
feature parity for guests, irrespective of the host platform.
- Fix some really ugly architecture problems when dealing with debug
in a nested VM. This has some bad performance impacts, but is at
least correct.
- Add enough infrastructure to be able to disable EL2 features and
give effective values to the EL2 control registers. This then
allows a bunch of features to be turned off, which helps cross-host
migration.
- Large rework of the selftest infrastructure to allow most tests to
transparently run at EL2. This is the first step towards enabling
NV testing.
- Various fixes and improvements all over the map, including one BE
fix, just in time for the removal of the feature.
LoongArch:
- Detect page table walk feature on new hardware
- Add sign extension with kernel MMIO/IOCSR emulation
- Improve in-kernel IPI emulation
- Improve in-kernel PCH-PIC emulation

- Added ONE_REG interface for SBI FWFT extension
- Added Zicbop and bfloat16 extensions for Guest/VM

guest- triggerable in fastop-emulated instructions).
- Fix PMU selftests errors encountered on Granite Rapids (GNR),
Sierra Forest (SRF) and Clearwater Forest (CWF).
- Minor cleanups and improvements
x86 (guest side):
- For the legacy PCI hole (memory between TOLUD and 4GiB) to UC when
overriding guest MTRR for TDX/SNP to fix an issue where ACPI
auto-mapping could map devices as WB and prevent the device drivers
from mapping their devices with UC/UC-.
- Make kvm_async_pf_task_wake() a local static helper and remove its
export.
- Use native qspinlocks when running in a VM with dedicated
vCPU=>pCPU bindings even when PV_UNHALT is unsupported.
Generic:
- Remove a redundant __GFP_NOWARN from kvm_setup_async_pf() as
__GFP_NOWARN is now included in GFP_NOWAIT.

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"Core & protocols:
- Improve drop account scalability on NUMA hosts for RAW and UDP
sockets and the backlog, almost doubling the Pps capacity under DoS
- Optimize the UDP RX performance under stress, reducing contention,
revisiting the binary layout of the involved data structs and
implementing NUMA-aware locking. This improves UDP RX performance
by an additional 50%, even more under extreme conditions
- Add support for PSP encryption of TCP connections; this mechanism
has some similarities with IPsec and TLS, but offers superior HW
offloads capabilities
- Ongoing work to support Accurate ECN for TCP. AccECN allows more
than one congestion notification signal per RTT and is a building
block for Low Latency, Low Loss, and Scalable Throughput (L4S)
- Reorganize the TCP socket binary layout for data locality, reducing
the number of touched cachelines in the fastpath
- Refactor skb deferral free to better scale on large multi-NUMA
hosts, this improves TCP and UDP RX performances significantly on
such HW
- Increase the default socket memory buffer limits from 256K to 4M to
better fit modern link speeds
- Improve handling of setups with a large number of nexthop, making
dump operating scaling linearly and avoiding unneeded
synchronize_rcu() on delete
- Improve bridge handling of VLAN FDB, storing a single entry per
bridge instead of one entry per port; this makes the dump order of
magnitude faster on large switches
- Restore IP ID correctly for encapsulated packets at GSO
segmentation time, allowing GRO to merge packets in more scenarios
- Improve netfilter matching performance on large sets
- Improve MPTCP receive path performance by leveraging recently
introduced core infrastructure (skb deferral free) and adopting
recent TCP autotuning changes
- Allow bridges to redirect to a backup port when the bridge port is
administratively down
- Introduce MPTCP 'laminar' endpoint that con be used only once per
connection and simplify common MPTCP setups
- Add RCU safety to dst->dev, closing a lot of possible races
- A significant crypto library API for SCTP, MPTCP and IPv6 SR,
reducing code duplication

Pull SoC dt updates from Arnd Bergmann:
"There are five sets of new SoCs that get added in existing families,
all of them being either upgrades or cut-down versions of the older
chips:
- Apple M2 Pro, M2 Max and M2 Ultra, used in the 2022/2023 generation
of high-end workstations and laptops from Apple. Linux has been
working on these for a while but stil requires patches.
- Axis Artpec8 is an Armv8 chip based on Samsung Exynos design,
unlike the earlier Armv7 Artpec6 from the same company that was
part of a separate family of chips.
- NXP i.MX91 is a cut-down version of i.MX93, using only a single
Cortex-A55 core.
- Qualcomm Lemans Auto is a variant of the Lemans SoC that was
originally merged under the sa8775p name, the differences being
mostly the firmware configuration of the platform.
- Four new Renesas SoCs RZ/T2H (r9a09g077m44), RZ/N2H (r9a09g087m44),
RZ/T2H (r9a09g077), and RZ/N2H (r9a09g087) are all industrial
bedded SoCs based on Cortex-A55 cores
In total, there are 65 new machines, including:
- Industrial embedded system and single-board computers based on NXP,
Allwinner, TI, Rockchips, Marvell, Xilinx Spacemit, Starfive chips.
- Reference boards for the newly added Renesas, Qualcomm, NXP and
Axis ARMv8 chips as well as Microchip's MPFS RISC-V SoC
- Laptops and Workstations using Apple M2 and Qualcomm Snapdragon X1
chips.
- Several Samsung phones using Qualcomm Snapdragon chips
- Set-top boxes based on Allwinner H313
- Five BMC boards using 32-bit ASpeed SoCs
- Three network routers using IXP4xx (ARMv5!) and Broadcom bcm4708
(ARMv7) SoCs
Two machines get phased out because they were available only in small
quantities but never made it into products: one STi407 based reference
board, and a Snapdragon 845 based Chromebook.
Aside from the newly added machines, a lot of work went into improving
hardware support on the existing machines and cleaning up contents for
validation"

Pull irq chip driver updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Use the startup/shutdown callbacks for the PCI/MSI per device
interrupt domains.
This allows us to initialize the RISCV PLIC interrupt hierarchy
correctly and provides a mechanism to decouple the masking and
unmasking during run-time from the expensive PCI mask and unmask when
the underlying MSI provider implementation allows the interrupt to be
masked.
- Initialize the RISCV PLIC MSI interrupt hierarchy correctly so that
the affinity assignment works correctly by switching it over to the
startup/shutdown scheme
- Allow MSI providers to opt out from masking a PCI/MSI interrupt at
the PCI device during operation when the provider can mask the
interrupt at the underlying interrupt chip. This reduces the overhead
in scenarios where disable_irq()/enable_irq() is utilized frequently
by a driver.
The PCI/MSI device level [un]masking is only required on startup and
shutdown in this case.
- Remove the conditional mask/unmask logic in the PCI/MSI layer as this
is now handled unconditionally.
- Replace the hardcoded interrupt routing in the Loongson EIOINTC
interrupt driver to respect the firmware settings and spread them out
to different CPU interrupt inputs so that the demultiplexing handler
only needs to read only a single 64-bit status register instead of
four, which significantly reduces the overhead in VMs as the status
register access causes a VM exit.
- Add support for the new AST2700 SCU interrupt controllers
- Use the legacy interrupt domain setup for the Loongson PCH-LPC
interrupt controller, which resembles the x86 legacy PIC setup and
has the same hardcoded legacy requirements.
- The usual set of cleanups, fixes and improvements all over the place

Rename the "kvm" entry code files and Kconfigs to use generic "virt"
nomenclature so that the code can be reused by other hypervisors (or
rather, their root/dom0 partition drivers), without incorrectly suggesting
the code somehow relies on and/or involves KVM.
No functional change intended.

Move KVM's morphing of pending signals into userspace exits into KVM
proper, and drop the @vcpu param from xfer_to_guest_mode_handle_work().
How KVM responds to -EINTR is a detail that really belongs in KVM itself,
and invoking kvm_handle_signal_exit() from kernel code creates an inverted
module dependency. E.g. attempting to move kvm_handle_signal_exit() into
kvm_main.c would generate an linker error when building kvm.ko as a module.
Dropping KVM details will also converting the KVM "entry" code into a more
generic virtualization framework so that it can be used when running as a
Hyper-V root partition.
Lastly, eliminating usage of "struct kvm_vcpu" outside of KVM is also nice
to have for KVM x86 developers, as keeping the details of kvm_vcpu purely
within KVM allows changing the layout of the structure without having to
boot into a new kernel, e.g. allows rebuilding and reloading kvm.ko with a
modified kvm_vcpu structure as part of debug/development.

Pull TIF bit unification updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of changes to consolidate the generic TIF (thread info flag)
bits accross architectures.
All architectures define the same set of generic TIF bits. This makes
it pointlessly hard to add a new generic TIF bit or to change an
existing one.
Provide a generic variant and convert the architectures which utilize
the generic entry code over to use it. The TIF space is divided into
16 generic bits and 16 architecture specific bits, which turned out to
provide enough space on both sides"
