Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"Once again, cpufreq is the most active development area, mostly
because of the new feature additions and documentation updates in the
amd-pstate driver, but there are also changes in the cpufreq core
related to boost support and other assorted updates elsewhere.
Next up are power capping changes due to the major cleanup of the
Intel RAPL driver.
On the cpuidle front, a new C-states table for Intel Panther Lake is
added to the intel_idle driver, the stopped tick handling in the menu
and teo governors is updated, and there are a couple of cleanups.
Apart from the above, support for Tegra114 is added to devfreq and
there are assorted cleanups of that code, there are also two updates
of the operating performance points (OPP) library, two minor updates
related to hibernation, and cpupower utility man pages updates and
cleanups.

- Clean up dead code in Kconfig for cpufreq (Julian Braha)
- Remove max_freq_req update for pre-existing cpufreq policy and add
a boost_freq_req QoS request to save the boost constraint instead

The Hyper-V ISRs, for normal guests and when running in the hypervisor root
patition, are calling add_interrupt_randomness() as a primary source of
entropy. The call is currently in the ISRs as a common place to handle both
x86/x64 and arm64.
On x86/x64, hypervisor interrupts come through a custom sysvec entry, and
do not go through a generic interrupt handler.
On arm64, hypervisor interrupts come through an emulated GICv3. GICv3 uses
the generic handler handle_percpu_devid_irq(), which does not do
add_interrupt_randomness() -- unlike its counterpart
handle_percpu_irq().
But handle_percpu_devid_irq() is now updated to do the
add_interrupt_randomness(). So add_interrupt_randomness() is now needed
only in Hyper-V's x86/x64 custom sysvec path.
Move add_interrupt_randomness() from the Hyper-V ISRs into the Hyper-V
x86/x64 custom sysvec path, matching the existing STIMER0 sysvec path.
With this change, add_interrupt_randomness() is no longer called from any
device drivers, which is appropriate.

Some future AMD processors have feature named "CPPC Performance
Priority" which lets userspace specify different floor performance
levels for different CPUs. The platform firmware takes these different
floor performance levels into consideration while throttling the CPUs
under power/thermal constraints. The presence of this feature is
indicated by bit 16 of the EDX register for CPUID leaf
0x80000007. More details can be found in AMD Publication titled "AMD64
Collaborative Processor Performance Control (CPPC) Performance

Type 40 entries (Additional Information) are summarized in section 7.41 as
part of the SMBIOS specification. Generally, these entries aren't interesting
to save.
However on some AMD Zen systems, the AGESA version is stored here. This is
useful to save to the kernel message logs for debugging. It can be used to
cross-reference issues.
Implement an iterator for the Additional Information entries. Use this to find
and print the AGESA string. Do so in AMD code, since the use case is
AMD-specific.

When FRED was added to the mainline kernel, it was set up as an explicit
opt-in due to the risk of regressions before hardware was available publicly.
Now, Panther Lake (Core Ultra 300 series) has been released, and benchmarking
by Phoronix has shown that it provides a significant performance benefit on
most workloads:

Merge the two separate switch cases for AMD and Hygon as they share the
common cpu_parse_topology_amd().
Also drop the IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_CPU_SUP_AMD/HYGON) guards, because
1) they are dead code: when a vendor's CONFIG_CPU_SUP_* is disabled, its
vendor detection code (in amd.c / hygon.c) is not compiled, so
x86_vendor will never be set to X86_VENDOR_AMD / X86_VENDOR_HYGON,
instead it will default to X86_VENDOR_UNKNOWN and those switch cases
are unreachable.
2) topology_amd.o is always built (obj-y), so cpu_parse_topology_amd() is
always available regardless of CPU_SUP_* configuration.

Commit in Fixes added the FRED CR4 bit to the CR4 pinned bits mask so
that whenever something else modifies CR4, that bit remains set. Which
in itself is a perfectly fine idea.
However, there's an issue when during boot FRED is initialized: first on
the BSP and later on the APs. Thus, there's a window in time when
exceptions cannot be handled.
This becomes particularly nasty when running as SEV-{ES,SNP} or TDX
guests which, when they manage to trigger exceptions during that short
window described above, triple fault due to FRED MSRs not being set up
yet.
See Link tag below for a much more detailed explanation of the
situation.
So, as a result, the commit in that Link URL tried to address this
shortcoming by temporarily disabling CR4 pinning when an AP is not
online yet.
However, that is a problem in itself because in this case, an attack on
the kernel needs to only modify the online bit - a single bit in RW
memory - and then disable CR4 pinning and then disable SM*P, leading to
more and worse things to happen to the system.
So, instead, remove the FRED bit from the CR4 pinning mask, thus
obviating the need to temporarily disable CR4 pinning.
If someone manages to disable FRED when poking at CR4, then
idt_invalidate() would make sure the system would crash'n'burn on the
first exception triggered, which is a much better outcome security-wise.

Move FSGSBASE enablement from identify_cpu() to cpu_init_exception_handling()
to ensure it is enabled before any exceptions can occur on both boot and
secondary CPUs.
== Background ==
Exception entry code (paranoid_entry()) uses ALTERNATIVE patching based on
X86_FEATURE_FSGSBASE to decide whether to use RDGSBASE/WRGSBASE instructions
or the slower RDMSR/SWAPGS sequence for saving/restoring GSBASE.
On boot CPU, ALTERNATIVE patching happens after enabling FSGSBASE in CR4.
When the feature is available, the code is permanently patched to use
RDGSBASE/WRGSBASE, which require CR4.FSGSBASE=1 to execute without triggering
== Boot Sequence ==
Boot CPU (with CR pinning enabled):
trap_init()
cpu_init() <- Uses unpatched code (RDMSR/SWAPGS)
x2apic_setup()
...
arch_cpu_finalize_init()
identify_boot_cpu()
identify_cpu()
cr4_set_bits(X86_CR4_FSGSBASE) # Enables the feature
# This becomes part of cr4_pinned_bits
...
alternative_instructions() <- Patches code to use RDGSBASE/WRGSBASE
Secondary CPUs (with CR pinning enabled):
start_secondary()
cr4_init() <- Code already patched, CR4.FSGSBASE=1
set implicitly via cr4_pinned_bits
cpu_init() <- exceptions work because FSGSBASE is
already enabled
Secondary CPU (with CR pinning disabled):
start_secondary()
cr4_init() <- Code already patched, CR4.FSGSBASE=0
cpu_init()
x2apic_setup()
rdmsrq(MSR_IA32_APICBASE) <- Triggers #VC in SNP guests
exc_vmm_communication()
paranoid_entry() <- Uses RDGSBASE with CR4.FSGSBASE=0
(patched code)
...
ap_starting()
identify_secondary_cpu()
identify_cpu()
cr4_set_bits(X86_CR4_FSGSBASE) <- Enables the feature, which is
too late
== CR Pinning ==
Currently, for secondary CPUs, CR4.FSGSBASE is set implicitly through
CR-pinning: the boot CPU sets it during identify_cpu(), it becomes part of
cr4_pinned_bits, and cr4_init() applies those pinned bits to secondary CPUs.
This works but creates an undocumented dependency between cr4_init() and the
pinning mechanism.
== Problem ==
Secondary CPUs boot after alternatives have been applied globally. They
execute already-patched paranoid_entry() code that uses RDGSBASE/WRGSBASE
instructions, which require CR4.FSGSBASE=1. Upcoming changes to CR pinning
behavior will break the implicit dependency, causing secondary CPUs to
generate #UD.
This issue manifests itself on AMD SEV-SNP guests, where the rdmsrq() in
x2apic_setup() triggers a #VC exception early during cpu_init(). The #VC
handler (exc_vmm_communication()) executes the patched paranoid_entry() path.
Without CR4.FSGSBASE enabled, RDGSBASE instructions trigger #UD.
== Fix ==
Enable FSGSBASE explicitly in cpu_init_exception_handling() before loading
exception handlers. This makes the dependency explicit and ensures both
boot and secondary CPUs have FSGSBASE enabled before paranoid_entry()
executes.

Vsyscall emulation has two modes of operation: XONLY and EMULATE. The
default XONLY mode is now supported with a LASS-triggered #GP. OTOH,
LASS is disabled if someone requests the deprecated EMULATE mode via the
vsyscall=emulate command line option. So, remove the restriction on LASS
when the overall vsyscall emulation support is compiled in.
As a result, there is no need for setup_lass() anymore. LASS is enabled
by default through a late_initcall().

People do effort to inject MCEs into guests in order to simulate/test
handling of hardware errors. The real use case behind it is testing the
handling of SIGBUS which the memory failure code sends to the process.
If that process is QEMU, instead of killing the whole guest, the MCE can
be injected into the guest kernel so that latter can attempt proper
handling and kill the user *process* in the guest, instead, which
caused the MCE. The assumption being here that the whole injection flow
can supply enough information that the guest kernel can pinpoint the
right process. But that's a different topic...
Regardless of virtualization or not, access to SMCA-specific registers
like MCA_DESTAT should only be done after having checked the smca
feature bit. And there are AMD machines like Bulldozer (the one before
Zen1) which do support deferred errors but are not SMCA machines.
Therefore, properly check the feature bit before accessing related MSRs.

Intel sometimes has CPUs with identical family/model/stepping but
which need different microcode. These CPUs are differentiated with the
platform ID.
The Intel "microcode-20250512" release was used to generate the
existing contents of intel-ucode-defs.h. Use that same release and add
the platform mask to the definitions.
This makes the list a few entries longer because some CPUs previously
that shared a definition now need two or more. for example for the
ancient Pentium III there are two CPUs that differ only in their
platform and have two different microcode versions (note:
.driver_data is the microcode version):
{ ..., .model = 0x05, .steppings = 0x0001, .platform_mask = 0x01, .driver_data = 0x40 },
{ ..., .model = 0x05, .steppings = 0x0001, .platform_mask = 0x08, .driver_data = 0x45 },
Another example is the state-of-the-art Granite Rapids:
{ ..., .model = 0xad, .steppings = 0x0002, .platform_mask = 0x20, .driver_data = 0xa0000d1 },
{ ..., .model = 0xad, .steppings = 0x0002, .platform_mask = 0x95, .driver_data = 0x10003a2 },
As you can see, this differentiation with platform ID has been
necessary for a long time and is still relevant today.
Without the platform matching, the old microcode table is incomplete.
For instance, it might lead someone with a Pentium III, platform 0x0,
and microcode 0x40 to think that they should have microcode 0x45,
which is really only for platform 0x4 (.platform_mask==0x08).
In practice, this meant that folks with fully updated microcode were
seeing "Vulnerable" in the "old_microcode" file.

The existing x86_match_cpu() infrastructure can be used to match
a bunch of attributes of a CPU: vendor, family, model, steppings
and CPU features.
But, there's one more attribute that's missing and unable to be
matched against: the platform ID, enumerated on Intel CPUs in
MSR_IA32_PLATFORM_ID. It is a little more obscure and is only
queried during microcode loading. This is because Intel sometimes
has CPUs with identical family/model/stepping but which need
different microcode. These CPUs are differentiated with the
platform ID.
Add a field in 'struct x86_cpu_id' for the platform ID. Similar
to the stepping field, make the new field a mask of platform IDs.
Some examples:
0x01: matches only platform ID 0x0
0x02: matches only platform ID 0x1
0x03: matches platform IDs 0x0 or 0x1
0x80: matches only platform ID 0x7
0xff: matches all 8 possible platform IDs
Since the mask is only a byte wide, it nestles in next to another
u8 and does not even increase the size of 'struct x86_cpu_id'.
Reserve the all 0's value as the wildcard (X86_PLATFORM_ANY). This
avoids forcing changes to existing 'struct x86_cpu_id' users. They
can just continue to fill the field with 0's and their matching will
work exactly as before.
Note: If someone is ever looking for space in 'struct x86_cpu_id',
this new field could probably get stuck over in ->driver_data
for the one user that there is.

The end goal here is to be able to do x86_match_cpu() and match on a
specific platform ID. While it would be possible to stash this ID
off somewhere or read it dynamically, that approaches would not be
consistent with the other fields which can be matched.
Read the platform ID and store it in cpuinfo_x86.
There are lots of sites to set this new field. Place it near
the place c->microcode is established since the platform ID is
so closely intertwined with microcode updates.
Note: This should not grow the size of 'struct cpuinfo_x86' in
practice since the u8 fits next to another u8 in the structure.

Today, the only code that cares about the platform ID is the microcode
update code itself. To facilitate storing the platform ID in a more
generic place and using it outside of the microcode update itself, put
the enumeration into a helper function. Mirror
intel_get_microcode_revision()'s naming and location.
But, moving away from intel_collect_cpu_info() means that the model
and family information in CPUID is not readily available. Just call
CPUID again.
Note that the microcode header is a mask of supported platform IDs.
Only stick the ID part in the helper. Leave the 1<<id part in the
microcode handling.
Also note that the PII is weird. It does not really have a platform
ID because it doesn't even have the MSR. Just consider it to be
platform ID 0. Instead of saying >=PII, say <=PII. The PII is the
real oddball here being the only CPU with Linux microcode updates
but no platform ID. It's worth calling it out by name.
This does subtly change the sig->pf for the PII though from 0x0
to 0x1. Make up for that by ignoring sig->pf when the microcode
update platform mask is 0x0.

Use the MADT and SRAT table data to compute __num_nodes_per_package.
Specifically, SRAT has already been parsed in x86_numa_init(), which is called
before acpi_boot_init() which parses MADT. So both are available in
topology_init_possible_cpus().
This number is useful to divinate the various Intel CoD/SNC and AMD NPS modes,
since the platforms are failing to provide this otherwise.
Doing it this way is independent of the number of online CPUs and

LASS blocks any kernel access to the lower half of the virtual address
space. Unfortunately, some EFI accesses happen during boot with bit 63
cleared, which causes a #GP fault when LASS is enabled.
Notably, the SetVirtualAddressMap() call can only happen in EFI physical
mode. Also, EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_CODE/_DATA could be accessed even after
ExitBootServices(). The boot services memory is truly freed during
efi_free_boot_services() after SVAM has completed.
To prevent EFI from tripping LASS, at a minimum, LASS enabling must be
deferred until EFI has completely finished entering virtual mode
(including freeing boot services memory). Moving setup_lass() to
arch_cpu_finalize_init() would do the trick, but that would make the
implementation very fragile. Something else might come in the future
that would need the LASS enabling to be moved again.
In general, security features such as LASS provide limited value before
userspace is up. They aren't necessary during early boot while only
trusted ring0 code is executing. Introduce a generic late initcall to
defer activating some CPU features until userspace is enabled.
For now, only move the LASS CR4 programming to this initcall. As APs are
already up by the time late initcalls run, some extra steps are needed
to enable LASS on all CPUs. Use a CPU hotplug callback instead of
on_each_cpu() or smp_call_function(). This ensures that LASS is enabled
on every CPU that is currently online as well as any future CPUs that
come online later. Note, even though hotplug callbacks run with
preemption enabled, cr4_set_bits() would disable interrupts while
updating CR4.
Keep the existing logic in place to clear the LASS feature bits early.
setup_clear_cpu_cap() must be called before boot_cpu_data is finalized
and alternatives are patched. Eventually, the entire setup_lass() logic
can go away once the restrictions based on vsyscall emulation and EFI
are removed.

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split

resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.
So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.
The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.
