Fix cpuid_deps[] to list the correct dependencies for GFNI, VAES, and
VPCLMULQDQ. These features don't depend on AVX512, and there exist CPUs
that support these features but not AVX512. GFNI actually doesn't even
depend on AVX.
This prevents GFNI from being unnecessarily disabled if AVX is disabled
to mitigate the GDS vulnerability.
This also prevents all three features from being unnecessarily disabled
if AVX512VL (or its dependency AVX512F) were to be disabled, but it
looks like there isn't any case where this happens anyway.

A system with NODEID_MSR was reported to crash during early boot without
any output.
The reason is that the union which is used for accessing the bitfields in
the MSR is written wrongly and the resulting executable code accesses the
wrong part of the MSR data.
As a consequence a later division by that value results in 0 and that
result is used for another division as divisor, which obviously does not
work well.
The magic world of C, unions and bitfields:
union {
u64 bita : 3,
bitb : 3;
u64 all;
} x;
x.all = foo();
a = x.bita;
b = x.bitb;
results in the effective executable code of:
a = b = x.bita;
because bita and bitb are treated as union members and therefore both end
up at bit offset 0.
Wrapping the bitfield into an anonymous struct:
union {
struct {
u64 bita : 3,
bitb : 3;
};
u64 all;
} x;
works like expected.
Rework the NODEID_MSR union in exactly that way to cure the problem.

CPUID 0x80000008 ECX.cpu_nthreads describes the number of threads in the
package. The parser uses this value to initialize the SMT domain level.
That's wrong because cpu_nthreads does not describe the number of threads
per physical core. So this needs to set the CORE domain level and let the
later parsers set the SMT shift if available.
Preset the SMT domain level with the assumption of one thread per core,
which is correct ifrt here are no other CPUID leafs to parse, and propagate
cpu_nthreads and the core level APIC bitwidth into the CORE domain.

So we are using the 'ia32_cap' value in a number of places,
which got its name from MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR register.
But there's very little 'IA32' about it - this isn't 32-bit only
code, nor does it originate from there, it's just a historic
quirk that many Intel MSR names are prefixed with IA32_.
This is already clear from the helper method around the MSR:
x86_read_arch_cap_msr(), which doesn't have the IA32 prefix.
So rename 'ia32_cap' to 'x86_arch_cap_msr' to be consistent with
its role and with the naming of the helper function.

topo_set_cpuids() updates cpu_present_map and cpu_possible map. It is
invoked during enumeration and "physical hotplug" operations. In the
latter case this results in a kernel crash because cpu_possible_map is
marked read only after init completes.
There is no reason to update cpu_possible_map in that function. During
enumeration cpu_possible_map is not relevant and gets fully initialized
after enumeration completed. On "physical hotplug" the bit is already set
because the kernel allows only CPUs to be plugged which have been
enumerated and associated to a CPU number during early boot.
Remove the bogus update of cpu_possible_map.

"Mitigations for the native BHI hardware vulnerabilty:
Branch History Injection (BHI) attacks may allow a malicious

poisoning the branch history. eIBRS isolates indirect branch targets

predictor entry, and although branch predictor entries are isolated
between modes when eIBRS is enabled, the BHB itself is not isolated
between modes.
Add mitigations against it either with the help of microcode or with

The NULL pointer dereference is encountered while searching for another
online CPU in the domain (of which there are none) that can be used to
run the MBM overflow handler.
Because the kernel is configured with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL the search for
another CPU (in its effort to prefer those CPUs that aren't marked
nohz_full) consults the mask representing the nohz_full CPUs,
tick_nohz_full_mask. On a kernel with CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y
tick_nohz_full_mask is not allocated unless the kernel is booted with
the "nohz_full=" parameter and because of that any access to
tick_nohz_full_mask needs to be guarded with tick_nohz_full_enabled().
Replace the IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL) with tick_nohz_full_enabled().
The latter ensures tick_nohz_full_mask can be accessed safely and can be
used whether kernel is built with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL enabled or not.

Currently, the LBR code assumes that LBR Freeze is supported on all processors
when X86_FEATURE_AMD_LBR_V2 is available i.e. CPUID leaf 0x80000022[EAX]
bit 1 is set. This is incorrect as the availability of the feature is
additionally dependent on CPUID leaf 0x80000022[EAX] bit 2 being set,
which may not be set for all Zen 4 processors.
Define a new feature bit for LBR and PMC freeze and set the freeze enable bit
(FLBRI) in DebugCtl (MSR 0x1d9) conditionally.
It should still be possible to use LBR without freeze for profile-guided
optimization of user programs by using an user-only branch filter during
profiling. When the user-only filter is enabled, branches are no longer
recorded after the transition to CPL 0 upon PMI arrival. When branch
entries are read in the PMI handler, the branch stack does not change.
E.g.
$ perf record -j any,u -e ex_ret_brn_tkn ./workload
Since the feature bit is visible under flags in /proc/cpuinfo, it can be
used to determine the feasibility of use-cases which require LBR Freeze
to be supported by the hardware such as profile-guided optimization of
kernels.

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
- Ensure that the encryption mask at boot is properly propagated on
5-level page tables, otherwise the PGD entry is incorrectly set to
non-encrypted, which causes system crashes during boot.
- Undo the deferred 5-level page table setup as it cannot work with
memory encryption enabled.
- Prevent inconsistent XFD state on CPU hotplug, where the MSR is reset
to the default value but the cached variable is not, so subsequent
comparisons might yield the wrong result and as a consequence the
result prevents updating the MSR.
- Register the local APIC address only once in the MPPARSE enumeration
to prevent triggering the related WARN_ONs() in the APIC and topology
code.
- Handle the case where no APIC is found gracefully by registering a
fake APIC in the topology code. That makes all related topology
functions work correctly and does not affect the actual APIC driver
code at all.
- Don't evaluate logical IDs during early boot as the local APIC IDs
are not yet enumerated and the invoked function returns an error
code. Nothing requires the logical IDs before the final CPUID
enumeration takes place, which happens after the enumeration.
- Cure the fallout of the per CPU rework on UP which misplaced the
copying of boot_cpu_data to per CPU data so that the final update to
boot_cpu_data got lost which caused inconsistent state and boot
crashes.
- Use copy_from_kernel_nofault() in the kprobes setup as there is no
guarantee that the address can be safely accessed.
- Reorder struct members in struct saved_context to work around another
kmemleak false positive

In both cases the evaluation is stored in boot_cpu_data, but on UP the

between #1 and #2. So any update which happens in #2 is never propagated to

Consolidate the whole logic and copy boot_cpu_data right before applying
alternatives as that's the point where boot_cpu_data is in it's final
state and not supposed to change anymore.

A Hyper-V host provides its guest VMs with entropy in a custom ACPI
table named "OEM0". The entropy bits are updated each time Hyper-V
boots the VM, and are suitable for seeding the Linux guest random
number generator (rng). See a brief description of OEM0 in [1].
Generation 2 VMs on Hyper-V use UEFI to boot. Existing EFI code in
Linux seeds the rng with entropy bits from the EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL.
Via this path, the rng is seeded very early during boot with good
entropy. The ACPI OEM0 table provided in such VMs is an additional
source of entropy.
Generation 1 VMs on Hyper-V boot from BIOS. For these VMs, Linux
doesn't currently get any entropy from the Hyper-V host. While this
is not fundamentally broken because Linux can generate its own entropy,
using the Hyper-V host provided entropy would get the rng off to a
better start and would do so earlier in the boot process.
Improve the rng seeding for Generation 1 VMs by having Hyper-V specific
code in Linux take advantage of the OEM0 table to seed the rng. For
Generation 2 VMs, use the OEM0 table to provide additional entropy
beyond the EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL. Because the OEM0 table is custom to
Hyper-V, parse it directly in the Hyper-V code in the Linux kernel
and use add_bootloader_randomness() to add it to the rng. Once the
entropy bits are read from OEM0, zero them out in the table so
they don't appear in /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/OEM0 in the running
VM. The zero'ing is done out of an abundance of caution to avoid
potential security risks to the rng. Also set the OEM0 data length
to zero so a kexec or other subsequent use of the table won't try
to use the zero'ed bits.

held for read, e.g. to avoid serializing vCPUs when userspace
deletes a memslot
- Tear down TDP MMU page tables at 4KiB granularity (used to be
1GiB). KVM doesn't support yielding in the middle of processing a
zap, and 1GiB granularity resulted in multi-millisecond lags that
are quite impolite for CONFIG_PREEMPT kernels
- Allocate write-tracking metadata on-demand to avoid the memory
overhead when a kernel is built with i915 virtualization support
but the workloads use neither shadow paging nor i915 virtualization
- Explicitly initialize a variety of on-stack variables in the
emulator that triggered KMSAN false positives
- Fix the debugregs ABI for 32-bit KVM
- Rework the "force immediate exit" code so that vendor code
ultimately decides how and when to force the exit, which allowed
some optimization for both Intel and AMD
- Fix a long-standing bug where kvm_has_noapic_vcpu could be left
elevated if vCPU creation ultimately failed, causing extra
unnecessary work
- Cleanup the logic for checking if the currently loaded vCPU is
in-kernel
- Harden against underflowing the active mmu_notifier invalidation
count, so that "bad" invalidations (usually due to bugs elsehwere
in the kernel) are detected earlier and are less likely to hang the
kernel
x86 Xen emulation:
- Overlay pages can now be cached based on host virtual address,
instead of guest physical addresses. This removes the need to
reconfigure and invalidate the cache if the guest changes the gpa
but the underlying host virtual address remains the same
- When possible, use a single host TSC value when computing the
deadline for Xen timers in order to improve the accuracy of the
timer emulation
- Inject pending upcall events when the vCPU software-enables its
APIC to fix a bug where an upcall can be lost (and to follow Xen's
behavior)
- Fall back to the slow path instead of warning if "fast" IRQ
delivery of Xen events fails, e.g. if the guest has aliased xAPIC
IDs
RISC-V:
- Support exception and interrupt handling in selftests
- New self test for RISC-V architectural timer (Sstc extension)
- New extension support (Ztso, Zacas)
- Support userspace emulation of random number seed CSRs
ARM:
- Infrastructure for building KVM's trap configuration based on the
architectural features (or lack thereof) advertised in the VM's ID
registers
- Support for mapping vfio-pci BARs as Normal-NC (vaguely similar to
x86's WC) at stage-2, improving the performance of interacting with
assigned devices that can tolerate it
- Conversion of KVM's representation of LPIs to an xarray, utilized
to address serialization some of the serialization on the LPI
injection path
- Support for _architectural_ VHE-only systems, advertised through
the absence of FEAT_E2H0 in the CPU's ID register
- Miscellaneous cleanups, fixes, and spelling corrections to KVM and
selftests
LoongArch:
- Set reserved bits as zero in CPUCFG
- Start SW timer only when vcpu is blocking
- Do not restart SW timer when it is expired
- Remove unnecessary CSR register saving during enter guest
- Misc cleanups and fixes as usual
Generic:
- Clean up Kconfig by removing CONFIG_HAVE_KVM, which was basically
always true on all architectures except MIPS (where Kconfig
determines the available depending on CPU capabilities). It is
replaced either by an architecture-dependent symbol for MIPS, and
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KVM) everywhere else
- Factor common "select" statements in common code instead of
requiring each architecture to specify it
- Remove thoroughly obsolete APIs from the uapi headers
- Move architecture-dependent stuff to uapi/asm/kvm.h
- Always flush the async page fault workqueue when a work item is
being removed, especially during vCPU destruction, to ensure that
there are no workers running in KVM code when all references to
KVM-the-module are gone, i.e. to prevent a very unlikely
use-after-free if kvm.ko is unloaded
- Grab a reference to the VM's mm_struct in the async #PF worker
itself instead of gifting the worker a reference, so that there's
no need to remember to *conditionally* clean up after the worker
Selftests:
- Reduce boilerplate especially when utilize selftest TAP
infrastructure
- Add basic smoke tests for SEV and SEV-ES, along with a pile of
library support for handling private/encrypted/protected memory
- Fix benign bugs where tests neglect to close() guest_memfd files"

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
"implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".
- More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series
"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"
- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
scalability of zswap rb-tree".
- Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.
- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.
- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series
"mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".
- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is
hotplugged as system memory.
- Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
which does that.
- More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series
"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"
- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving
policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion
rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory
environments appearing with CXL.
- Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".

series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".
- Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
tools to parse and process out selftesting results.
- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the
process has a large number of pte-mapped folios.
- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown
situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice.
- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings"
Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's
series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.
- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page
faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.

- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess
in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing

in his series
"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"

crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".
- Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series
"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"
- Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging
of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
memory compaction".
- Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages()
to an iterator".
- Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
"Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".
- Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".
- David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
total_mapcount()", a cleanup.
- Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".
- Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which
are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.
- Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.
- Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
also. S390 is affected.
- Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
"mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".
- Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his

Pull x86 RFDS mitigation from Dave Hansen:
"RFDS is a CPU vulnerability that may allow a malicious userspace to
infer stale register values from kernel space. Kernel registers can
have all kinds of secrets in them so the mitigation is basically to
wait until the kernel is about to return to userspace and has user
values in the registers. At that point there is little chance of
kernel secrets ending up in the registers and the microarchitectural
state can be cleared.
This leverages some recent robustness fixes for the existing MDS
vulnerability. Both MDS and RFDS use the VERW instruction for
mitigation"

Pull x86 FRED support from Thomas Gleixner:
"Support for x86 Fast Return and Event Delivery (FRED).
FRED is a replacement for IDT event delivery on x86 and addresses most
of the technical nightmares which IDT exposes:
1) Exception cause registers like CR2 need to be manually preserved
in nested exception scenarios.
2) Hardware interrupt stack switching is suboptimal for nested
exceptions as the interrupt stack mechanism rewinds the stack on
each entry which requires a massive effort in the low level entry
of #NMI code to handle this.
3) No hardware distinction between entry from kernel or from user
which makes establishing kernel context more complex than it needs
to be especially for unconditionally nestable exceptions like NMI.
4) NMI nesting caused by IRET unconditionally reenabling NMIs, which
is a problem when the perf NMI takes a fault when collecting a
stack trace.
5) Partial restore of ESP when returning to a 16-bit segment
6) Limitation of the vector space which can cause vector exhaustion
on large systems.
7) Inability to differentiate NMI sources
FRED addresses these shortcomings by:
1) An extended exception stack frame which the CPU uses to save
exception cause registers. This ensures that the meta information
for each exception is preserved on stack and avoids the extra
complexity of preserving it in software.
2) Hardware interrupt stack switching is non-rewinding if a nested
exception uses the currently interrupt stack.
3) The entry points for kernel and user context are separate and GS
BASE handling which is required to establish kernel context for
per CPU variable access is done in hardware.
4) NMIs are now nesting protected. They are only reenabled on the
return from NMI.
5) FRED guarantees full restore of ESP
6) FRED does not put a limitation on the vector space by design
because it uses a central entry points for kernel and user space
and the CPUstores the entry type (exception, trap, interrupt,
syscall) on the entry stack along with the vector number. The
entry code has to demultiplex this information, but this removes
the vector space restriction.
The first hardware implementations will still have the current
restricted vector space because lifting this limitation requires
further changes to the local APIC.
7) FRED stores the vector number and meta information on stack which
allows having more than one NMI vector in future hardware when the
required local APIC changes are in place.
The series implements the initial FRED support by:
- Reworking the existing entry and IDT handling infrastructure to
accomodate for the alternative entry mechanism.
- Expanding the stack frame to accomodate for the extra 16 bytes FRED
requires to store context and meta information
- Providing FRED specific C entry points for events which have
information pushed to the extended stack frame, e.g. #PF and #DB.
- Providing FRED specific C entry points for #NMI and #MCE
- Implementing the FRED specific ASM entry points and the C code to
demultiplex the events
- Providing detection and initialization mechanisms and the necessary
tweaks in context switching, GS BASE handling etc.
The FRED integration aims for maximum code reuse vs the existing IDT
implementation to the extent possible and the deviation in hot paths
like context switching are handled with alternatives to minimalize the
impact. The low level entry and exit paths are seperate due to the
extended stack frame and the hardware based GS BASE swichting and
therefore have no impact on IDT based systems.
It has been extensively tested on existing systems and on the FRED
simulation and as of now there are no outstanding problems"

RFDS is a CPU vulnerability that may allow userspace to infer kernel
stale data previously used in floating point registers, vector registers
and integer registers. RFDS only affects certain Intel Atom processors.
Intel released a microcode update that uses VERW instruction to clear
the affected CPU buffers. Unlike MDS, none of the affected cores support
SMT.
Add RFDS bug infrastructure and enable the VERW based mitigation by
default, that clears the affected buffers just before exiting to
userspace. Also add sysfs reporting and cmdline parameter
"reg_file_data_sampling" to control the mitigation.

Currently MMIO Stale Data mitigation for CPUs not affected by MDS/TAA is
to only deploy VERW at VMentry by enabling mmio_stale_data_clear static
branch. No mitigation is needed for kernel->user transitions. If such
CPUs are also affected by RFDS, its mitigation may set
X86_FEATURE_CLEAR_CPU_BUF to deploy VERW at kernel->user and VMentry.
This could result in duplicate VERW at VMentry.
Fix this by disabling mmio_stale_data_clear static branch when
X86_FEATURE_CLEAR_CPU_BUF is enabled.

KVM VMX changes for 6.9:
- Fix a bug where KVM would report stale/bogus exit qualification information
when exiting to userspace due to an unexpected VM-Exit while the CPU was
vectoring an exception.
- Add a VMX flag in /proc/cpuinfo to report 5-level EPT support.
- Clean up the logic for massaging the passthrough MSR bitmaps when userspace
changes its MSR filter.
Borislav reported that one of his systems has a broken MADT table which
advertises eight present APICs and 24 non-present APICs in the same
package.
The non-present ones are considered hot-pluggable by the topology
evaluation code, which is obviously bogus as there is no way to hot-plug
within the same package.
As the topology evaluation code accounts for hot-pluggable CPUs in a
package, the maximum number of cores per package is computed wrong, which
in turn causes the uncore performance counter driver to access non-existing
MSRs. It will probably confuse other entities which rely on the maximum
number of cores and threads per package too.
Cure this by ignoring hot-pluggable APIC IDs within a present package.
In theory it would be reasonable to just do this unconditionally, but then
there is this thing called reality^Wvirtualization which ruins
everything. Virtualization is the only existing user of "physical" hotplug
and the virtualization tools allow the above scenario. Whether that is
actually in use or not is unknown.
As it can be argued that the virtualization case is not affected by the
issues which exposed the reported problem, allow the bogosity if the kernel
determined that it is running in a VM for now.

The idle routine selection is done on every CPU bringup operation and
has a guard in place which is effective after the first invocation,
which is a pointless exercise.
Invoke it once on the boot CPU and mark the related functions __init.
The guard check has to stay as xen_set_default_idle() runs early.

Sparse rightfully complains:
bugs.c:71:9: sparse: warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces)
bugs.c:71:9: sparse: expected void const [noderef] __percpu *__vpp_verify
bugs.c:71:9: sparse: got unsigned long long *
The reason is that x86_spec_ctrl_current which is a per CPU variable is
exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL().
Use EXPORT_PER_CPU_SYMBOL_GPL() instead.

On UP builds Sparse complains rightfully about accesses to cpu_info with
per CPU accessors:
cacheinfo.c:282:30: sparse: warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces)
cacheinfo.c:282:30: sparse: expected void const [noderef] __percpu *__vpp_verify
cacheinfo.c:282:30: sparse: got unsigned int *
The reason is that on UP builds cpu_info which is a per CPU variable on SMP
is mapped to boot_cpu_info which is a regular variable. There is a hideous
accessor cpu_data() which tries to hide this, but it's not sufficient as
some places require raw accessors and generates worse code than the regular
per CPU accessors.
Waste sizeof(struct x86_cpuinfo) memory on UP and provide the per CPU
cpu_info unconditionally. This requires to update the CPU info on the boot
CPU as SMP does. (Ab)use the weakly defined smp_prepare_boot_cpu() function
and implement exactly that.
This allows to use regular per CPU accessors uncoditionally and paves the
way to remove the cpu_data() hackery.
