Pull CXL updates from Dave Jiang:
- Introduce cxl_memdev_attach and pave way for soft reserved handling,
type2 accelerator enabling, and LSA 2.0 enabling. All these series
require the endpoint driver to settle before continuing the memdev
driver probe.
- Address CXL port error protocol handling and reporting.
The large patch series was split into three parts. The first two
parts are included here with the final part coming later.
The first part consists of a series of code refactoring to PCI AER
sub-system that addresses CXL and also CXL RAS code to prepare for
port error handling.
The second part refactors the CXL code to move management of
component registers to cxl_port objects to allow all CXL AER errors
to be handled through the cxl_port hierarchy.
- Provide AMD Zen5 platform address translation for CXL using ACPI
PRMT. This includes a conventions document to explain why this is
needed and how it's implemented.
- Misc CXL patches of fixes, cleanups, and updates. Including CXL
address translation for unaligned MOD3 regions.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Scheduler Kconfig space updates:
- Further consolidate configurable preemption modes (Peter Zijlstra)
Reduce the number of architectures that are allowed to offer
PREEMPT_NONE and PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, reducing the number of
preemption models from four to just two: 'full' and 'lazy' on
up-to-date architectures (arm64, loongarch, powerpc, riscv, s390,
x86).
None and voluntary are only available as legacy features on
platforms that don't implement lazy preemption yet, or which don't
even support preemption.
The goal is to eventually remove cond_resched() and voluntary
preemption altogether.
RSEQ based 'scheduler time slice extension' support (Thomas Gleixner
and Peter Zijlstra):
This allows a thread to request a time slice extension when it enters
a critical section to avoid contention on a resource when the thread
is scheduled out inside of the critical section.
- Add fields and constants for time slice extension
- Provide static branch for time slice extensions
- Add statistics for time slice extensions
- Add prctl() to enable time slice extensions
- Implement sys_rseq_slice_yield()
- Implement syscall entry work for time slice extensions
- Implement time slice extension enforcement timer
- Reset slice extension when scheduled
- Implement rseq_grant_slice_extension()
- entry: Hook up rseq time slice extension
- selftests: Implement time slice extension test
- Allow registering RSEQ with slice extension
- Move slice_ext_nsec to debugfs
- Lower default slice extension
- selftests/rseq: Add rseq slice histogram script
Scheduler performance/scalability improvements:

improves the scalability of various workloads (Shubhang Kaushik)
- Reorder fields in 'struct rq' for better caching (Blake Jones)
- Fair scheduler SMP NOHZ balancing code speedups (Shrikanth Hegde):
- Move checking for nohz cpus after time check
- Change likelyhood of nohz.nr_cpus
- Remove nohz.nr_cpus and use weight of cpumask instead
- Avoid false sharing for sched_clock_irqtime (Wangyang Guo)
- Cleanups (Yury Norov):
- Drop useless cpumask_empty() in find_energy_efficient_cpu()
- Simplify task_numa_find_cpu()
- Use cpumask_weight_and() in sched_balance_find_dst_group()
DL scheduler updates:
- Add a deadline server for sched_ext tasks (by Andrea Righi and Joel
Fernandes, with fixes by Peter Zijlstra)
RT scheduler updates:
- Skip currently executing CPU in rto_next_cpu() (Chen Jinghuang)
Entry code updates and performance improvements (Jinjie Ruan)
This is part of the scheduler tree in this cycle due to inter-

- Remove unused syscall argument from syscall_trace_enter()
- Rework syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work() for architecture reuse
- Add arch_ptrace_report_syscall_entry/exit()
- Inline syscall_exit_work() and syscall_trace_enter()

- Change rcu_dereference_check_sched_domain() to rcu-sched
- Switch to rcu_dereference_all()
- Remove superfluous rcu_read_lock()
- Limit hrtick work
- Join two #ifdef CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED blocks
- Clean up comments in 'struct cfs_rq'

- Rename cfs_rq::avg_load to cfs_rq::sum_weight
- Rename cfs_rq::avg_vruntime to ::sum_w_vruntime & helper functions
- Introduce and use the vruntime_cmp() and vruntime_op() wrappers for
wrapped-signed aritmetics
- Sort out 'blocked_load*' namespace noise
Scheduler debugging code updates:

"x86 PMU driver updates:
- Add support for the core PMU for Intel Diamond Rapids (DMR) CPUs
(Dapeng Mi)
Compared to previous iterations of the Intel PMU code, there's been
a lot of changes, which center around three main areas:
- Introduce the OFF-MODULE RESPONSE (OMR) facility to replace the
Off-Core Response (OCR) facility
- New PEBS data source encoding layout
- Support the new "RDPMC user disable" feature
- Likewise, a large series adds uncore PMU support for Intel Diamond
Rapids (DMR) CPUs (Zide Chen)
This centers around these four main areas:
- DMR may have two Integrated I/O and Memory Hub (IMH) dies,
separate from the compute tile (CBB) dies. Each CBB and each IMH
die has its own discovery domain.
- Unlike prior CPUs that retrieve the global discovery table
portal exclusively via PCI or MSR, DMR uses PCI for IMH PMON
discovery and MSR for CBB PMON discovery.
- DMR introduces several new PMON types: SCA, HAMVF, D2D_ULA, UBR,
PCIE4, CRS, CPC, ITC, OTC, CMS, and PCIE6.
- IIO free-running counters in DMR are MMIO-based, unlike SPR.
- Also add support for Add missing PMON units for Intel Panther Lake,
and support Nova Lake (NVL), which largely maps to Panther Lake.
(Zide Chen)
- KVM integration: Add support for mediated vPMUs (by Kan Liang and
Sean Christopherson, with fixes and cleanups by Peter Zijlstra,
Sandipan Das and Mingwei Zhang)

which are a low-power variant of Panther Lake (Zide Chen)
- Add core, cstate and MSR PMU support for the Airmont NP Intel CPU
(aka MaxLinear Lightning Mountain), which maps to the existing

Read-mostly sched_clock_irqtime may share the same cacheline with
frequently updated nohz struct. Make it as static_key to avoid
false sharing issue.
The only user of disable_sched_clock_irqtime()
is tsc_.*mark_unstable() which may be invoked under atomic context
and require a workqueue to disable static_key. But both of them
calls clear_sched_clock_stable() just before doing
disable_sched_clock_irqtime(). We can reuse
"sched_clock_work" to also disable sched_clock_irqtime().
One additional case need to handle is if the tsc is marked unstable
before late_initcall() phase, sched_clock_work will not be invoked
and sched_clock_irqtime will stay enabled although clock is unstable:
tsc_init()
enable_sched_clock_irqtime() # irqtime accounting is enabled here
...
if (unsynchronized_tsc()) # true
mark_tsc_unstable()
clear_sched_clock_stable()
__sched_clock_stable_early = 0;
...
if (static_key_count(&sched_clock_running.key) == 2)
# Only happens at sched_clock_init_late()
__clear_sched_clock_stable(); # Never executed
...
# late_initcall() phase
sched_clock_init_late()
if (__sched_clock_stable_early) # Already false
__set_sched_clock_stable(); # sched_clock is never marked stable
# TSC unstable, but sched_clock_work won't run to disable irqtime
So we need to disable_sched_clock_irqtime() in sched_clock_init_late()
if clock is unstable.

The BSS_DECRYPTED section that gets emitted into .bss will be empty if
CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT is not defined. However, due to the fact that it
is injected into .bss rather than emitted as a separate section, the
2 MiB alignment that it specifies is still taken into account
unconditionally, pushing .bss out to the next 2 MiB boundary, leaving
a gap that is never freed.
So only emit a non-empty BSS_DECRYPTED section if it is going to be
used. In that case, it would still be nice to free the padding, but
that is left for later.

The previous change (Fixes commit) messed up the rsp register value,

the original rsp value.
This change does not affect fprobe current kernel unwind, the !perf_hw_regs
path perf_callchain_kernel:
if (perf_hw_regs(regs)) {
if (perf_callchain_store(entry, regs->ip))
return;
unwind_start(&state, current, regs, NULL);
} else {
unwind_start(&state, current, NULL, (void *)regs->sp);
}
which uses pt_regs.sp as first_frame boundary (FRAME_SIZE shift makes
no difference, unwind stil stops at the right frame).
This change fixes the other path when we want to unwind directly from
pt_regs sp/fp/ip state, which is coming in following change.

The SPCR provided console on x86 is only available as a boot console when
earlycon is provided on the kernel command line, and will not be present in

While it's possible to retain the boot console with the keep_bootcon
parameter, that leaves the console using the less efficient 8250_early driver.
Users wanting to use the firmware suggested console (to avoid maintaining
unique serial console parameters for different server models in large fleets)
with the conventional driver have to parse the kernel log for the console
parameters and reinsert them.

Insert Soft Reserved memory into a dedicated soft_reserve_resource tree
instead of the iomem_resource tree at boot. Delay publishing these ranges
into the iomem hierarchy until ownership is resolved and the HMEM path
is ready to consume them.
Publishing Soft Reserved ranges into iomem too early conflicts with CXL
hotplug and prevents region assembly when those ranges overlap CXL
windows.
Follow up patches will reinsert Soft Reserved ranges into iomem after CXL
window publication is complete and HMEM is ready to claim the memory. This
provides a cleaner handoff between EFI-defined memory ranges and CXL
resource management without trimming or deleting resources later.
In the meantime "Soft Reserved" resources will no longer appear in
/proc/iomem, only their results. I.e. with "memmap=4G%4G+0xefffffff"
Before:
100000000-1ffffffff : Soft Reserved
100000000-1ffffffff : dax1.0
100000000-1ffffffff : System RAM (kmem)
After:
100000000-1ffffffff : dax1.0
100000000-1ffffffff : System RAM (kmem)
The expectation is that this does not lead to a user visible regression
because the dax1.0 device is created in both instances.

"hangs", the probed ./test task enters an endless loop.
The problem is that with randomize_va_space == 0
get_unmapped_area(TASK_SIZE - PAGE_SIZE) called by xol_add_vma() can not
just return the "addr == TASK_SIZE - PAGE_SIZE" hint, this addr is used
by the stack vma.
arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() doesn't take TIF_ADDR32 into account and
in_32bit_syscall() is false, this leads to info.high_limit > TASK_SIZE.
vm_unmapped_area() happily returns the high address > TASK_SIZE and then
get_unmapped_area() returns -ENOMEM after the "if (addr > TASK_SIZE - len)"
check.
handle_swbp() doesn't report this failure (probably it should) and silently
restarts the probed insn. Endless loop.
I think that the right fix should change the x86 get_unmapped_area() paths
to rely on TIF_ADDR32 rather than in_32bit_syscall(). Note also that if
CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI=y, in_x32_syscall() falsely returns true in this case
because ->orig_ax = -1.
But we need a simple fix for -stable, so this patch just sets TS_COMPAT if
the probed task is 32-bit to make in_ia32_syscall() true.

In most cases, the use of "fast 32-bit system call" depends either on
X86_FEATURE_SEP or X86_FEATURE_SYSENTER32 || X86_FEATURE_SYSCALL32.
However, nearly all the logic for both is identical.
Define X86_FEATURE_SYSFAST32 which indicates that *either* SYSENTER32 or
SYSCALL32 should be used, for either 32- or 64-bit kernels. This
defaults to SYSENTER; use SYSCALL if the SYSCALL32 bit is also set.
As this removes ALL existing uses of X86_FEATURE_SYSENTER32, which is
a kernel-only synthetic feature bit, simply remove it and replace it
with X86_FEATURE_SYSFAST32.
This leaves an unused alternative for a true 32-bit kernel, but that
should really not matter in any way.
The clearing of X86_FEATURE_SYSCALL32 can be removed once the patches
for automatically clearing disabled features has been merged.

Neither of those are necessary anymore: the backtracing issue is

have been supported for a very long time now, which allows the

The memory bandwidth calculation relies on reading the hardware counter
and measuring the delta between samples. To ensure accurate measurement,
the software reads the counter frequently enough to prevent it from
rolling over twice between reads.
The default Memory Bandwidth Monitoring (MBM) counter width is 24 bits.
Hygon CPUs provide a 32-bit width counter, but they do not support the
MBM capability CPUID leaf (0xF.[ECX=1]:EAX) to report the width offset
(from 24 bits).
Consequently, the kernel falls back to the 24-bit default counter width,
which causes incorrect overflow handling on Hygon CPUs.
Fix this by explicitly setting the counter width offset to 8 bits (resulting
in a 32-bit total counter width) for Hygon CPUs.

set_memory_p() is available to use outside of its compilation unit since:
030ad7af94 ("x86/mm: Regularize set_memory_p() parameters and make non-static").
There is no use for __set_memory_prot() anymore so drop it too.

The only reason the pv_native_*() prototypes are needed is the complete
definition of those functions via an asm() statement, which makes it
impossible to have those functions as static ones.
Move the prototypes from paravirt_types.h into paravirt.c, which is the
only source referencing the functions.

Remove the arch-specific variant of paravirt_steal_clock() and use
the common one instead.
With all archs supporting Xen now having been switched to the common
variant, including paravirt.h can be dropped from drivers/xen/time.c.

Paravirt clock related functions are available in multiple archs.
In order to share the common parts, move the common static keys
to kernel/sched/ and remove them from the arch specific files.
Make a common paravirt_steal_clock() implementation available in
kernel/sched/cputime.c, guarding it with a new config option
CONFIG_HAVE_PV_STEAL_CLOCK_GEN, which can be selected by an arch
in case it wants to use that common variant.

Since telemetry events are enumerated on resctrl mount the RDT_RESOURCE_PERF_PKG
resource is not considered "monitoring capable" during early resctrl initialization.
This means that the domain list for RDT_RESOURCE_PERF_PKG is not built when the CPU
hotplug notifiers are registered and run for the first time right after resctrl
initialization.
Mark the RDT_RESOURCE_PERF_PKG as "monitoring capable" upon successful telemetry
event enumeration to ensure future CPU hotplug events include this resource and
initialize its domain list for CPUs that are already online.

resctrl assumes that only the L3 resource supports monitor events, so it
simply takes the rdt_resource::num_rmid from RDT_RESOURCE_L3 as the system's
number of RMIDs.
The addition of telemetry events in a different resource breaks that
assumption.
Compute the number of available RMIDs as the minimum value across all
mon_capable resources (analogous to how the number of CLOSIDs is computed
across alloc_capable resources).
Note that mount time enumeration of the telemetry resource means that
this number can be reduced. If this happens, then some memory will
be wasted as the allocations for rdt_l3_mon_domain::mbm_states[] and
rdt_l3_mon_domain::rmid_busy_llc created during resctrl initialization will
be larger than needed.
