Pull timer cleanups from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of final cleanups for the timer subsystem:
- Convert all del_timer[_sync]() instances over to the new
timer_delete[_sync]() API and remove the legacy wrappers.
Conversion was done with coccinelle plus some manual fixups as
coccinelle chokes on scoped_guard().
- The final cleanup of the hrtimer_init() to hrtimer_setup()
conversion.
This has been delayed to the end of the merge window, so that all
patches which have been merged through other trees are in mainline
and all new users are catched.
Doing this right before rc1 ensures that new code which is merged post
rc1 is not introducing new instances of the original functionality"

Pull more irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of updates for the interrupt subsystem:
- A treewide cleanup for the irq_domain code, which makes the naming
consistent and gets rid of the original oddity of naming domains
'host'.
This is a trivial mechanical change and is done late to ensure that
all instances have been catched and new code merged post rc1 wont
reintroduce new instances.
- A trivial consistency fix in the migration code
The recent introduction of irq_force_complete_move() in the core
code, causes a problem for the nostalgia crowd who maintains ia64
out of tree.
The code assumes that hierarchical interrupt domains are enabled
and dereferences irq_data::parent_data unconditionally. That works
in mainline because both architectures which enable that code have
hierarchical domains enabled. Though it breaks the ia64 build,
which enables the functionality, but does not have hierarchical
domains.
While it's not really a problem for mainline today, this
unconditional dereference is inconsistent and trivially fixable by
using the existing helper function irqd_get_parent_data(), which
has the appropriate #ifdeffery in place"

Select GENERIC_BUILTIN_DTB when built-in DTB support is enabled.
To keep consistency across architectures, this commit also renames
CONFIG_NIOS2_DTB_SOURCE_BOOL to CONFIG_BUILTIN_DTB, and
CONFIG_NIOS2_DTB_SOURCE to CONFIG_BUILTIN_DTB_NAME.

J2-based devices expect to find a device tree blob at the end of the
.bss section. As of a77725a9a3 ("scripts/dtc: Update to upstream
version v1.6.1-19-g0a3a9d3449c8"), libfdt enforces 8-byte alignment
for the DTB, causing J2 devices to fail early in sh_fdt_init().
As the J2 loader firmware calculates the DTB location based on the kernel
image .bss section size rather than the __bss_stop symbol offset, the
required alignment can't be enforced with BSS_SECTION(0, PAGE_SIZE, 8).
To fix this, inline a modified version of the above macro which grows
.bss by the required size. While this change affects all existing SH
boards, it should be benign on platforms which don't need this alignment.

"Avoid direct HLT instruction execution in TDX guests.
TDX guests aren't expected to use the HLT instruction directly. It
causes a virtualization exception (#VE). While the #VE _can_ be

is just to avoid HLT in the first place. Plus, the kernel already has
paravirt infrastructure that makes it relatively painless.
Make TDX guests require paravirt and add some TDX-specific paravirt
handlers which avoid HLT in the normal halt routines. Also add a
warning in case another HLT sneaks in.
There was a report that this leads to a "major performance
improvement" on specjbb2015, probably because of the extra #VE
overhead or missed wakeups from the buggy HLT handling"

To support fast gup, the commit 69be3fb111 ("riscv: enable
MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE for SMP && MMU") did the following:
1) use tlb_remove_page_ptdesc() for those platforms which use IPI to
perform TLB shootdown
2) use tlb_remove_ptdesc() for those platforms which use SBI to perform
TLB shootdown
The tlb_remove_page_ptdesc() is the wrapper of the tlb_remove_page(). By
design, the tlb_remove_page() should be used to remove a normal page from
a page table entry, and should not be used for page table pages.
The tlb_remove_ptdesc() is the wrapper of the tlb_remove_table(), which is
designed specifically for freeing page table pages. If the
CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE is enabled, the tlb_remove_table() will use
semi RCU to free page table pages, that is:
- batch table freeing: asynchronous free by RCU
- single table freeing: IPI + synchronous free
If the CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE is disabled, the tlb_remove_table()
will fall back to pagetable_dtor() + tlb_remove_page().
For case 1), since we need to perform TLB shootdown before freeing the
page table page, the local_irq_save() in fast gup can block the freeing
and protect the fast gup page walker. Therefore we can ensure safety by
just using tlb_remove_page_ptdesc(). In addition, we can also the
tlb_remove_ptdesc()/tlb_remove_table() to achieve it, and it doesn't
matter whether CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE is selected. And in
theory, the performance of freeing pages asynchronously via RCU will not
be lower than synchronous free.
For case 2), since local_irq_save() only disable S-privilege IPI irq but
not M-privilege's, which is used by the SBI implementation to perform TLB
shootdown, so we must select CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE and use
tlb_remove_ptdesc() to ensure safety. The riscv selects this config for
SMP && MMU, the CONFIG_RISCV_SBI is dependent on MMU. Therefore, only the
UP system may have the situation where CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE is
disabled but CONFIG_RISCV_SBI is enabled. But there is no freeing vs fast
gup race in the UP system.
So, in summary, we can use tlb_remove_ptdesc() to support fast gup in all
cases, and this interface is specifically designed for page table pages.
So let's use it unconditionally.

Upon a wakeup from S4, the restore kernel starts and initializes the
FRED MSRs as needed from its perspective. It then loads a hibernation
image, including the image kernel, and attempts to load image pages
directly into their original page frames used before hibernation unless
those frames are currently in use. Once all pages are moved to their
original locations, it jumps to a "trampoline" page in the image kernel.
At this point, the image kernel takes control, but the FRED MSRs still
contain values set by the restore kernel, which may differ from those
set by the image kernel before hibernation. Therefore, the image kernel
must ensure the FRED MSRs have the same values as before hibernation.
Since these values depend only on the location of the kernel text and
data, they can be recomputed from scratch.

As Bert Karwatzki reported, the following recent commit causes a
performance regression on AMD iGPU and dGPU systems:
7ffb791423 ("x86/kaslr: Reduce KASLR entropy on most x86 systems")
It exposed a bug with nokaslr and zone device interaction.
The root cause of the bug is that, the GPU driver registers a zone
device private memory region. When KASLR is disabled or the above commit
is applied, the direct_map_physmem_end is set to much higher than 10 TiB
typically to the 64TiB address. When zone device private memory is added
to the system via add_pages(), it bumps up the max_pfn to the same
value. This causes dma_addressing_limited() to return true, since the
device cannot address memory all the way up to max_pfn.
This caused a regression for games played on the iGPU, as it resulted in
the DMA32 zone being used for GPU allocations.
Fix this by not bumping up max_pfn on x86 systems, when pgmap is passed
into add_pages(). The presence of pgmap is used to determine if device
private memory is being added via add_pages().
More details:
devm_request_mem_region() and request_free_mem_region() request for
device private memory. iomem_resource is passed as the base resource
with start and end parameters. iomem_resource's end depends on several
factors, including the platform and virtualization. On x86 for example
on bare metal, this value is set to boot_cpu_data.x86_phys_bits.
boot_cpu_data.x86_phys_bits can change depending on support for MKTME.
By default it is set to the same as log2(direct_map_physmem_end) which
is 46 to 52 bits depending on the number of levels in the page table.
The allocation routines used iomem_resource's end and
direct_map_physmem_end to figure out where to allocate the region.
[ arch/powerpc is also impacted by this problem, but this patch does not fix
the issue for PowerPC. ]

1. Tested on a virtual machine with test_hmm for zone device inseration
2. A previous version of this patch was tested by Bert, please see:

When a crashkernel is launched on RISC-V, the entry to purgatory is
done by trapping via the stvec CSR. From riscv_kexec_norelocate():
| ...
| /*
| * Switch to physical addressing
| * This will also trigger a jump to CSR_STVEC
| * which in this case is the address of the new
| * kernel.
| */
| csrw CSR_STVEC, a2
| csrw CSR_SATP, zero
stvec requires that the address is 4B aligned, which was not the case,
e.g.:
| Loaded purgatory at 0xffffc000
| kexec_file: kexec_file_load: type:1, start:0xffffd232 head:0x4 flags:0x6
The address 0xffffd232 not 4B aligned.
Correct by adding proper function alignment.
With this change, crashkernels loaded with kexec-file will be able to
properly enter the purgatory.

Conor Dooley <conor@kernel.org> says:
From: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@microchip.com>
Yo,
This series is partly leveraging Clement's work adding a validate
callback in the extension detection code so that things like checking
for whether a vector crypto extension is usable can be done like:
has_extension(<vector crypto>)
rather than
has_vector() && has_extension(<vector crypto>)
which Eric pointed out was a poor design some months ago.
The rest of this is adding some requirements to the bindings that
prevent combinations of extensions disallowed by the ISA.
There's a bunch of over-long lines in here, but I thought that the
over-long lines were clearer than breaking them up.
Cheers,
Conor.

It turns out the code to generate the x86 cpufeaturemasks.h header was
way too aggressive, and would re-generate it whenever the timestamp on
the kernel config file changed.
Now, the regular 'make *config' tools are fairly careful to not rewrite
the kernel config file unless the contents change, but other usecases
aren't that careful.
Michael Kelley reports that 'make-kpkg' ends up doing "make syncconfig"
multiple times in prepping to build, and will modify the config file in
the process (and then modify it back, but by then the timestamps have
changed).
Jakub Kicinski reports that the netdev CI does something similar in how
it generates the config file in multiple steps.
In both cases, the config file timestamp updates then cause the
cpufeaturemasks.h file to be regenerated, and that in turn then causes
lots of unnecessary rebuilds due to all the normal dependencies.
Fix it by using our 'filechk' infrastructure in the Makefile to generate
the header file. That will only write a new version of the file if the
contents of the file have actually changed.
