On IBM POWER systems, newer processor generations can operate in
compatibility modes corresponding to earlier generations. This becomes
relevant for nested virtualization, where nested KVM guests may need to
run with a specific processor compatibility level.
Currently, when running a nested KVM guest (L2) inside a Power11 pSeries
logical partition (L1) booted in Power10 compatibility mode, the guest
fails to boot while setting 'arch_compat'. This happens because the CPU
class is derived from the hardware PVR (via mfspr()), which reflects the
physical processor generation (Power11), rather than the effective
compatibility mode (Power10).
As a result, userspace may request a Power11 arch_compat for the L2
guest. However, the L1 partition, running in Power10 compatibility, has
only negotiated support up to Power10 with the Power Hypervisor (L0).
When H_GUEST_SET_STATE is invoked with a Power11 Logical PVR, the
hypervisor rejects the request, leading to a late guest boot failure:
KVM-NESTEDv2: couldn't set guest wide elements
[..KVM reg dump..]
This situation should be detected earlier and rejected by KVM. Without
proper validation, if userspace ignores the error, the guest may continue
to boot in Power11 raw mode on a Power10 compatibility host, which should
not be allowed.
Introduce a validation mechanism that detects unsupported arch_compat
values early in the guest initialization path. When an unsupported
arch_compat is requested (e.g., Power11 on a Power10 compatibility mode
host), kvmppc_set_arch_compat() uses cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_P11_PVR) to
detect the mismatch and sets arch_compat to PVR_ARCH_INVALID (0xffffffff).
This sentinel value is architecturally safe: PAPR specifies that valid
logical PVR values must have 0x0f as the first byte, ensuring 0xffffffff
lies permanently outside the specification-defined range. Setting this
value triggers kvmppc_sanity_check() to mark the vCPU as invalid by
setting vcpu->arch.sane to false. On the next vCPU run, kvmppc_vcpu_run_hv()
checks this flag and returns -EINVAL, preventing the guest from running
with an invalid processor compatibility configuration.
With this, when a Power11 arch_compat is requested on a Power10
compatibility mode host, the guest fails early during boot with:
error: kvm run failed Invalid argument
This provides a much clearer failure mode compared to the previous
behavior where the guest could boot in Power11 raw mode (if userspace
ignored the error) or fail late during H_GUEST_SET_STATE.

smp_muxed_ipi_message_pass() calls smp_ops->cause_ipi() without
checking whether it has been set.
On platforms using muxed IPI (e.g. powernv/pseries), smp_ops->cause_ipi
is initialized to NULL in the static smp_ops and only assigned during
the platform smp_probe() handler. If the IPI subsystem fails to
initialize -- for example when xive_init_ipis() fails and
xive_smp_probe() returns an error -- the probe handler returns early
and cause_ipi is never set. Any subsequent IPI send (e.g.
arch_smp_send_reschedule()) would dereference the NULL pointer.
Add a NULL check to avoid the crash in that situation.

xive_smp_probe() currently assigns smp_ops->cause_ipi = xive_cause_ipi

call fails, the platform probe handler returns early but cause_ipi
remains pointing to xive_cause_ipi -- which accesses per-cpu IPI data
(xc->ipi_data) that was never properly initialized, leading to
a WARN and a crash.
Move the cause_ipi assignment to after both calls succeed, so that
smp_ops->cause_ipi is only set when the IPI subsystem is fully

When xive_init_ipis() fails (e.g. irq_domain_alloc_irqs() fails),
the error path frees the global xive_ipis array. However,
xive_smp_probe() previously ignored this failure and proceeded to
call xive_setup_cpu_ipi(), which dereferences the already-freed
xive_ipis pointer -- a use-after-free.
Now that xive_smp_probe() returns int (previous patch), propagate
the error from xive_init_ipis() and xive_setup_cpu_ipi() through
xive_smp_probe(). Check the return value in both pnv_smp_probe()
and pSeries_smp_probe() so that IPI setup is aborted cleanly on
failure, avoiding the use-after-free.

Sashiko AI review pointed out the following issue.
The __merge_memory_ranges() function incorrectly handles overlapping
memory ranges when merging them. Although sort_memory_ranges() sorts all
ranges by their start address in ascending order beforehand, the merge
logic remains defective in two ways:
1. It compares the current range's start against the previous element (i-1)
instead of the running target index (idx)
2. It unconditionally overwrites 'ranges[idx].end' with 'ranges[i].end'.
This logic flaw leads to critical memory truncation when a larger memory
range completely subsumes subsequent smaller ranges.
For example, consider a sorted input array with three ranges:
Range A (idx=0): [0x1000 - 0x9000]
Range B (i=1): [0x2000 - 0x5000] (completely inside Range A)
Range C (i=2): [0x6000 - 0x8000] (completely inside Range A)
1. When i=1 (Range B):
ranges[1].start (0x2000) <= ranges[0].end + 1 (0x9001) is TRUE.
The code executes: ranges[0].end = ranges[1].end, which erroneously
shrinks Range A's end from 0x9000 down to 0x5000.
2. When i=2 (Range C):
ranges[2].start (0x6000) <= ranges[1].end + 1 (0x5001) is FALSE.
The code falls into the else block, creating a broken new range.
As a result, valid memory fragments [0x5001 - 0x5fff] and [0x8001 - 0x9000]
are completely lost from the kexec exclude lists, potentially allowing
the crash kernel to overwrite active memory, causing data corruption
or crashes.
Fix this by ensuring the start of the current range is compared against the
end of the active merged range (idx), and use max() to safely prevent the
outer boundary from being truncated.

Since commit 2cd571245b ("sched/fair: Add related data structure for
task based throttle") in v6.18, CFS bandwidth throttling no longer
dequeues a task directly; it queues task_work via TWA_RESUME and sets
TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME, relying on that work running before the task returns
to guest/user mode. The powerpc KVM run loops only checked for reschedule
and signals, never TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME, so the deferred throttle never ran
while a vCPU stayed in the run loop: a CPU-bound guest that rarely exits
to userspace ran far past its cpu.max quota and then appeared frozen for
minutes while the accrued throttle debt was repaid.
Use the generic infrastructure to check for and handle pending work
before transitioning into guest mode, replacing the open-coded
need_resched() and cond_resched() checks in the Book3S HV run loops and
in the common kvmppc_prepare_to_enter() used by the Book3S PR and BookE
run loops. The redundant signal_pending() recheck (and its sigpend label)
in kvmhv_run_single_vcpu() is also dropped, as
xfer_to_guest_mode_work_pending() is a superset of it.
This picks up handling for TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME, which was previously
ignored, meaning task work will now be correctly handled on every
guest re-entry.
Selecting VIRT_XFER_TO_GUEST_WORK disables RCU's last-resort self-IPI
fallback for vCPU tasks (see rcu_irq_work_resched()), which on
nohz_full CPUs was what forced a reschedule for deferred rcuog wakeups
queued right before guest entry. Take over that obligation the same way
x86 and s390 do: call xfer_to_guest_mode_prepare() with IRQs disabled
immediately before the final xfer_to_guest_mode_work_pending() check at
each guest-entry gate (kvmhv_run_single_vcpu(), kvmppc_run_core() and
kvmppc_prepare_to_enter()).
In kvmppc_prepare_to_enter(), IRQs are now disabled with
local_irq_disable() before hard_irq_disable(): on 32-bit,
hard_irq_disable() is a raw MSR[EE] clear that bypasses the
lockdep/irq-tracing state, and the strict xfer_to_guest_mode helpers
assert that IRQs are seen as disabled. This also allows upgrading the
racy __xfer_to_guest_mode_work_pending() check to the asserting
variant, as this loop is the terminal gate for the PR and BookE paths.
In kvmhv_run_single_vcpu(), the -EINTR exit and the pre-existing
kvmhv_setup_mmu() failure exit now leave via the done label instead of
returning directly, keeping the run_vcpu enter/exit tracepoints
balanced and vcpu->arch.ret consistent with the returned value.
In kvmppc_prepare_to_enter() the generic helper accounts the signal exit
(vcpu->stat.signal_exits and KVM_EXIT_INTR) but does not set the exit
type, so kvmppc_set_exit_type(SIGNAL_EXITS) is retained on the signal
path to preserve the E500 CONFIG_KVM_EXIT_TIMING histogram; it is a no-op
otherwise.

When building Rust code for powerpc64le with LLVM=1 and -j1, rustc
encounters an error: "multiple candidates for `rmeta` dependency `core`
found", with two candidates:
1. The host's standard library from the rustup toolchain
2. The kernel's custom libcore.rmeta in the rust/ directory
This occurs because the build system uses `-L$(objtree)/rust` for host
library builds (proc_macro2, quote, syn), which causes rustc to search
the rust/ directory. During this search, rustc finds both the kernel's
custom libcore.rmeta and gains access to the host's standard library,
creating a conflict.
The solution is to separate host libraries into a dedicated rust/host/
subdirectory and use `-L$(objtree)/rust/host` for host builds instead
of `-L$(objtree)/rust`. This ensures that:
1. Host library builds (proc_macro2, quote, syn) only search rust/host/
and never encounter the kernel's libcore.rmeta
2. Proc macro builds use `-L$(objtree)/rust/host` to find their
dependencies
Special handling is added for rustdoc-pin_init, which is a host build
(to access the alloc crate) but depends on proc macros from the main
rust/ directory. It uses explicit `--extern` paths to reference the
proc macros without adding `-L$(objtree)/rust`, which would reintroduce
the conflict.
The rust/host/ directory is added to clean-files to ensure it's removed
during `make clean`.

Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner:
- vfs: Preserve the ACL_DONT_CACHE state in forget_cached_acl().
ACL_DONT_CACHE is meant to be a permanent opt-out from ACL caching
which FUSE relies on for servers that don't negotiate FUSE_POSIX_ACL.
The helper replaced it with ACL_NOT_CACHED, silently re-enabling the
cache, and as fuse doesn't invalidate the cache for such servers a
properly timed get_acl() returned stale ACLs. Comes with a fuse
selftest reproducing this.
- pidfs:
- Preserve PIDFD_THREAD when a thread pidfd is reopened via
open_by_handle_at(). PIDFD_THREAD shares the O_EXCL bit which
do_dentry_open() strips after the flags have been validated, so
the reopened pidfd silently became a process pidfd. Comes with a
selftest.
- Add a pidfs_dentry_open() helper so the regular pidfd allocation
path and the file handle path share the code that forces O_RDWR
and reapplies the pidfd flags that do_dentry_open() strips.
- Handle FS_IOC32_GETVERSION in the compat ioctl path.
- Make pidfs_ino_lock static.
- iomap:
- Fix the block range calculation in ifs_clear_range_dirty() so a
partial clear doesn't drop the dirty state of blocks the range
only partially covers.
- Support invalidating partial folios so a partial truncate or hole
punch with blocksize < foliosize doesn't leave stale dirty bits
behind.
- Only set did_zero when iomap_zero_iter() actually zeroed
something.
- Guard ifs_set_range_dirty() and ifs_set_range_uptodate() against
zero-length ranges where the unsigned last-block calculation
underflows and bitmap_set() writes far beyond the ifs->state
allocation.
- Don't merge ioends with different io_private values as the merge
could leak or corrupt the private data of the individual ioends.
- exec:
- Raise bprm->have_execfd only once the binfmt_misc interpreter has
actually been opened. The flag was set as soon as a matching 'O'
or 'C' entry was found. If the interpreter open failed with
ENOEXEC the exec fell through to the next binary format with
have_execfd raised but no executable staged and begin_new_exec()
NULL derefed past the point of no return.
- Fix an unsigned loop counter wrap in transfer_args_to_stack() on
nommu. An overlong argument or environment string pushes bprm->p
below PAGE_SIZE, the stop index becomes zero, and the loop never
terminates, wrapping its counter and copying garbage from in
front of the page array into the new process stack.
- Make binfmt_elf_fdpic only honour the first PT_INTERP like
binfmt_elf does. Each additional PT_INTERP overwrote the previous
interpreter, leaking the name allocation and the interpreter file
reference together with the write denial open_exec() took,
leaving the file unwritable for as long as the system runs.
- overlayfs:
- Compare the full escaped xattr prefix including the trailing dot.
An xattr like "trusted.overlay.overlayfoo" was misclassified as
an escaped overlay xattr.
- Check read access to the copy_file_range() source with the
source's mounter credentials.
- super: Thawing a filesystem whose block device was frozen with
bdev_freeze() deadlocked. Dropping the last block layer freeze
reference from under s_umount ends up in fs_bdev_thaw() which
reacquires s_umount on the same task. Pin the superblock with an
active reference instead and call bdev_thaw() without holding
s_umount.
- procfs: Return EACCES instead of success when the ptrace access check
for namespace links fails.
- afs: Use afs_dir_get_block() rather than afs_dir_find_block() for
block 0 in afs_edit_dir_remove(), matching afs_edit_dir_add().
- Push the memcg gating of ->nr_cached_objects() down into the btrfs
and shmem callbacks instead of skipping every callback during
non-root memcg reclaim. The blanket check short-circuited XFS whose
inode reclaim hook is intentionally driven from per-memcg contexts to
free memcg-charged slab.
- eventpoll: Pin files while checking reverse paths.
Since struct file became SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU a concurrent close
could free and recycle the file under the check which then took and
dropped the f_lock of whatever live file now occupies that slot.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Move rb_desc->nr_page_va before updating dynamic array
The rb_descr->page_va is a dynamic array counted by nr_page_va. But
the updating of the page_va[] is done before the nr_page_va is
incremented causing a build with CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS to flag it as an
overflow.
Move the increment of the counted by value before the array element
is updated.
- Propagate errors from remote event bulk updates
The return value of trace_remote_enable_event() was not being checked
by remote_events_dir_enable_write() where it would silently fail.
Have it check the return value and propagate that back up to user
space.
- Fix resource leak on mmiotrace trace_pipe close
The mmiotrace tracer was created in 2008 before the trace_pipe had a
close callback to allow tracers to do clean up from trace_pipe open.
The trace_pipe close cleanup callback was added in 2009 but the
mmiotrace tracer was not updated. It had a hack to do the cleanup in
the read call, where it may leak if user space did not read the
entire buffer.
Add a callback to mmiotrace trace_pipe close do to the cleanup
properly.
- Fix a possible NULL pointer dereference in the mmiotrace tracer
If the mmio_pipe_open() fails to find a PCI device, it will set the
hiter->dev pointer to NULL. The read function will blindly
dereference that pointer. Fix the read call to check to see if that
pointer is populated before dereferencing it.
- Fix union collision of module and refcnt for dynamic events
In 'struct trace_event_call', the 'module' pointer and the 'refcnt'
atomic variable share the same memory space in a union. The filter on
module logic only checked if the 'module' was set to determine if the
event belonged to the module. As dynamic events are always builtin,
it doesn't need the 'module' field of the structure and used a
refcount. But the module filtering logic would then mistaken these
dynamic events as a module and call module_name(event->module) on it.
Add a check to see if the event is a dynamic event and if so, do not
check it for being part of the given module.
- Reset the top level buffer in selftests before running instances
The ftracetest selftest initializes each instance before executing
the tests. But it does not reset the top level buffer. Dynamic events
are only added and removed by the top level so any left over dynamic
events will not be removed by the reset in the instances.
Left over dynamic events can cause the tests to incorrectly fail.
Reset the top level buffer before running the instances.
- Make the context_switch counter 64 bit
The code to read user space for a system call trace event or for a
trace_marker will disable migration, enable preemption, read user
space into a per CPU buffer, disable preemption and enable migration
again. It checks if the per CPU context switch counter to see if it
changed, and if it did not, it would know that the per CPU buffer was
not touched by another task.
But the save counter was 32 bit and it would compare it to the 64 bit
context_switch variable. A long running system could have the
context_switch variable greater that 1<<32 in which case the compare
will always fail. The compare will promote the 32 bit int saved value
to 64 bit and compare it to the full 64 bit counter. Since the top 32
bits of the saved value was zero, it would never match.
- Fix a use-after-free of the event_enable trigger
The event_enable trigger allows for enabling one event when another
event is triggered. When the trigger is removed, it must go through a
synchronization phase to make sure it is not triggered again. The
trigger itself is delayed by the "bulk delay" logic that was recently
added. But the code that frees the event_enable data used to rely on
the trigger code to do the synchronization. Now that the code uses
the call RCU functions (and a workqueue), that delay no longer is
there.
Add a callback private_data_free() function that allows triggers to
clean up data after the synchronization phase has completed.
- Move the module_ref counter into the delay callback
Since an event of the event_enable trigger can enable an event for a
module, it ups the module ref count for that event's module. This
prevents the event from trying to enable an event that no longer
exists and cause a use-after-free bug.
The ref counter was set back down when the trigger was removed but
not after thy synchronization phase. This could lead to the module
data being accessed after module was unloaded.
Move the module ref decrement into the private_data_free() callback
of the event_enable trigger.
- Add mutex to protect parser in ftrace filtering
The set_ftrace_filter file uses a parsing descriptor that is
allocated at open and modified by writes. If multiple threads were to
write to the descriptor at the same time, it can corrupt the parser.
Add a mutex around the modifications of the parser descriptor.
- Fix possible corruption in perf syscall tracing
The perf system call trace events can now read user space. To do so,
the reads of user space enable preemption and disables it again.
During this time that preemption is enabled, the task can migrate.
The perf event list head is assigned via a per CPU pointer. It is
done before the user space part is called. If the user space reading
migrates the task to another CPU, then the head pointer is no longer
valid.
Re-assign the head pointer after the reading of user space to keep it
using the correct data.

do_thaw_all_callback() calls bdev_thaw() while holding sb->s_umount
exclusively. If the block device was frozen via bdev_freeze() dropping
the last block layer freeze reference calls fs_bdev_thaw() which
reacquires s_umount:
do_thaw_all_callback(sb)
super_lock_excl(sb) # holds sb->s_umount
bdev_thaw(sb->s_bdev)
mutex_lock(&bdev->bd_fsfreeze_mutex)
# bd_fsfreeze_count drops 1 -> 0
bd_holder_ops->thaw == fs_bdev_thaw
get_bdev_super(bdev)
bdev_super_lock(bdev, true)
super_lock(sb, true)
down_write(&sb->s_umount) # same task: deadlock
The emergency thaw worker deadlocks against itself holding both
s_umount and bd_fsfreeze_mutex. That fscks any subsequent unmount,
freeze, or thaw of that filesystem and block device.

bdev_super_lock() even documents the violated requirement with
lockdep_assert_not_held(&sb->s_umount).
Acquiring bd_fsfreeze_mutex under s_umount also inverts the
bd_fsfreeze_mutex vs. s_umount ordering established by
bdev_{freeze,thaw}() and can thus ABBA against a concurrent block-layer
freeze even when the recursive path isn't hit.
Fix this by not holding s_umount around the bdev_thaw() loop at all. Pin
the superblock with an active reference instead as
filesystems_freeze_callback() does. The active reference keeps the
superblock from being shut down and so ->s_bdev stays valid without
holding s_umount. The block-layer-held freeze is dropped by
fs_bdev_thaw() with FREEZE_MAY_NEST | FREEZE_HOLDER_USERSPACE exactly as
a regular unfreeze would and thaw_super_locked() handles
filesystem-level freezes as before.
The emergency thaw path has deadlocked like this in one form or
another for a long long time but the current exclusively-held
shape dates back to commit [1] where thaw_bdev() already ended in
thaw_super() with s_umount held by do_thaw_all_callback().

Pull rust fixes from Miguel Ojeda:
"Toolchain and infrastructure:
- 'zerocopy' crates: update to v0.8.54 to fix a modpost error under
'CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y'.
There are actually two updates in the PR: the one to v0.8.52 is
fairly large and was originally not intended for a fixes PR, but the
actual fix landed in the v0.8.54 one. Thus I included both here.
The v0.8.52 update includes two things upstream added for us:
'--cfg no_fp_fmt_parse' to avoid a local workaround, and the new
'most_traits' feature.
The good news is that, after these updates, the delta with upstream
is now trivial: only an identifier prefix change and the SPDX
parentheses.
- Fix an objtool warning by adding one more 'noreturn' function for
Rust 1.99.0 (expected 2026-10-01).
- Clean up new 'semicolon_in_expressions_from_macros' lint errors for
Rust 1.99.0 (expected 2026-10-01). The lint can be allowed, but it
will be a hard error at some point in the future anyway, so clean it
up now.
- Locally allow new 'suspicious_runtime_symbol_definitions' lint for
Rust 1.98.0 (expected 2026-08-20).
- Globally allow 'clippy::unwrap_or_default' lint since it relies on
optimizations -- under 'CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y' it does not
work well.
