Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "SMP load-balancing updates:

   - A large series to introduce infrastructure for cache-aware load
     balancing, with the goal of co-locating tasks that share data
     within the same Last Level Cache (LLC) domain. By improving cache
     locality, the scheduler can reduce cache bouncing and cache misses,
     ultimately improving data access efficiency.

     Implemented by Chen Yu and Tim Chen, based on early prototype work
     by Peter Zijlstra, with fixes by Jianyong Wu, Peter Zijlstra and
     Shrikanth Hegde.

   - A series to simplify CONFIG_SCHED_SMT ifdef usage (Shrikanth Hegde)

     SMT awareness (Andrea Righi, K Prateek Nayak)

   - A series to optimize cfs_rq and sched_entity allocation for better
     data locality (Zecheng Li)

   - A preparatory series to change fair/cgroup scheduling to a single
     runqueue, without the final change (Peter Zijlstra)

   - Auto-manage ext/fair dl_server bandwidth (Andrea Righi)

   - Fix cpu_util runnable_avg arithmetic (Hongyan Xia)

   - Optimize update_tg_load_avg()'s rate-limiting code (Rik van Riel)

   - Allow account_cfs_rq_runtime() to throttle current hierarchy
     (K Prateek Nayak)

   - Update util_est after updating util_avg during dequeue, to fix the
     util signal update logic, which reduces signal noise (Vincent
     Guittot)

  Scheduler topology updates:

   - Allow multiple domains to claim sched_domain_shared (K Prateek
     Nayak)

   - Add parameter to split LLC (Peter Zijlstra)

  Core scheduler updates:

   - Use trace_call__<tp>() to save a static branch (Gabriele Monaco)

  Scheduler statistics updates:

   - Drop now-stale mul_u64_u64_div_u64() cputime over-approximation
     guard (Nicolas Pitre)

  Deadline scheduler updates:

   - Reject debugfs dl_server writes for offline CPUs (Andrea Righi)

   - Fix replenishment logic for non-deferred servers (Yuri Andriaccio)

  RT scheduling updates:

   - Turn RT_PUSH_IPI default off for non PREEMPT_RT (Steven Rostedt)

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Features:

   - Reduce pipe->mutex contention by pre-allocating pages outside the
     lock in anon_pipe_write().

     anon_pipe_write() called alloc_page() once per page while holding
     pipe->mutex. The allocation can sleep doing direct reclaim and runs
     memcg charging, which extends the critical section and stalls any
     concurrent reader on the same mutex. Now up to 8 pages are
     pre-allocated before the mutex is taken, leftovers are recycled
     into the per-pipe tmp_page[] cache before unlock, and any remainder
     is released after unlock, keeping the allocator out of the critical
     section on both sides. On a writers x readers sweep with 64KB
     writes against a 1 MB pipe throughput improves 6-28% and average
     write latency drops 5-22%; under memory pressure - when the cost of
     holding the mutex across reclaim is highest - throughput improves
     21-48% and latency drops 17-33%. The microbenchmark is added to
     selftests.

   - uaccess/sockptr: fix the ignored_trailing logic in
     copy_struct_to_user() to behave as documented and the usize check
     in copy_struct_from_sockptr() for user pointers, and add
     copy_struct_{from,to}_bounce_buffer() and copy_struct_to_sockptr()
     helpers for upcoming users (IPPROTO_SMBDIRECT, IPPROTO_QUIC).

   - bpf: add a sleepable bpf_real_inode() kfunc that resolves the real
     inode backing a dentry via d_real_inode(). On overlayfs the inode
     attached to the dentry doesn't carry the underlying device
     information; this is used by the filesystem restriction BPF program
     that was merged into systemd.

   - docs: add guidelines for submitting new filesystems, motivated by
     the maintenance burden abandoned and untestable filesystems impose
     on VFS developers, blocking infrastructure work like folio
     conversions and iomap migration.

  Fixes:

   - libfs: set SB_I_NOEXEC and SB_I_NODEV by default in init_pseudo()
     and drop the now-redundant assignments in callers. This began as a
     one-line dma-buf fix for a path_noexec() warning; a pseudo
     filesystem has no reason not to set SB_I_NOEXEC. All init_pseudo()
     callers were audited: the only visible effect is on dma-buf where
     SB_I_NOEXEC silences the warning.

   - Handle set_blocksize() failures in legacy filesystems (bfs, hpfs,
     qnx4, jfs, befs, affs, isofs, minix, ntfs3, omfs). Mounting a
     device with a sector size > PAGE_SIZE crashed roughly half of them;
     the rest had the same missing error handling pattern. Plus a
     follow-up releasing the superblock buffer_head when setting the
     minix v3 block size fails.

   - mount: honour SB_NOUSER in the new mount API.

   - fs/fcntl: fix a SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order in fasync signaling by
     switching the process-group paths of send_sigio() and send_sigurg()
     from read_lock(&tasklist_lock) to RCU, matching the single-PID
     path.

   - vfs: add an FS_USERNS_DELEGATABLE flag and set it for NFS, fixing
     delegated NFS mounts (fsopen() in a container with the mount
     performed by a privileged daemon) that broke when non-init
     s_user_ns was tied to FS_USERNS_MOUNT.

   - selftests/namespaces: fix a hang in nsid_test where an unreaped
     grandchild kept the TAP pipe write-end open, a waitpid(-1) race in
     listns_efault_test, and a false FAIL on kernels without listns()
     where the tests should SKIP.

   - filelock: fix the break_lease() stub signature for
     CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING=n.

   - init/initramfs_test: wait for the async initramfs unpacking before
     running; the test and do_populate_rootfs() share the parser state.

   - fs/coredump: reduce redundant log noise in
     validate_coredump_safety().

   - iomap: pass the correct length to fserror_report_io() in
     __iomap_write_begin().

   - backing-file: fix the backing_file_open() kerneldoc.

  Cleanups:

   - initramfs: refactor the cpio hex header parsing to use hex2bin()
     instead of the hand-rolled simple_strntoul() which is reverted, and
     extend the initramfs KUnit tests to cover header fields with 0x
     prefixes.

   - Replace __get_free_pages() and friends with kmalloc()/kzalloc()
     across quota, proc, ocfs2/dlm, nilfs2, nfs, nfsd, libfs, jfs, jbd2,
     isofs, fuse, select, namespace, configfs, binfmt_misc, bfs, and the
     do_mounts init code - part of the larger work of replacing page
     allocator calls with kmalloc().

   - Use clear_and_wake_up_bit() in unlock_buffer() and
     journal_end_buffer_io_sync() instead of open-coding the sequence.

   - Drop unused VFS exports: unexport drop_super_exclusive(), remove
     start_removing_user_path_at(), and fold __start_removing_path()
     into start_removing_path().

   - fs/read_write: narrow the __kernel_write() export with
     EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_MODULES().

   - vfs: uapi: retire octal and hex constants in favor of (1 << n) for
     the O_ flags. Finding a free bit for a new flag across the
     architectures was needlessly hard with the mixed bases.

   - dcache: add extra sanity checks of dead dentries in dentry_free()
     via a new DENTRY_WARN_ONCE() that also prints d_flags.

   - iov_iter: use kmemdup_array() in dup_iter() to harden the
     allocation against multiplication overflow.

   - fs/pipe: write to ->poll_usage only once.

   - vfs: remove an always-taken if-branch in find_next_fd().

   - dcache: use kmalloc_flex() for struct external_name in __d_alloc().

   - namei: use QSTR() instead of QSTR_INIT() in path_pts().

   - sync_file_range: delete dead S_ISLNK code.

   - Comment fixes: retire a stale comment in fget_task_next() and fix
     assorted spelling mistakes"

0da79c259a vfs: uapi: retire octal and hex numbers in favor of (1 << n) for O_ flags
A recent build failure[1] exposed the diffculty of working with the
current octal and hex definitions of O_ flags when trying to find a gap
for a new flag. This difficulty is compounded by the fact that O_ flags
may have architectural specific values.

Replace the hex/octal #defines, which are hard to parse when looking for
free bits, with explicit bit shifts like (1 << 11). Also, add comments
that identify which architectures redefine some of the seemingly free
("cursed") bits in uapi/asm-generic/fcntl.h. These should not be used to
define new O_ flags (for now, at least).

The translastion was done with Claude Opus 4.8, and verified with a
(non-AI) gawk script. The accounting of which architectures claim
which bit-gaps in uapi/asm-generic/fcntl.h is also done by hand.

1eae219ea0 sched/topology: Provide arch_llc_mask for cache aware scheduling
Venkat Reported a boot kernel panic next-20260522. Git bisect pointed to
b5ea300a17 ("sched/cache: Make LLC id continuous")

Stacktrace points to llc_mask being null.

  NIP [c000000000e58504] _find_first_bit+0x44/0x130
  LR [c000000000e58500] _find_first_bit+0x40/0x130

  sched_init_smp+0xa8/0x164
  kernel_init_freeable+0x250/0x370
  ret_from_kernel_user_thread+0x14/0x1c

On powerpc, cpu_coregroup_mask is available only when the underlying
hardware support coregroup. In shared LPAR, QEMU guest or power9 etc
coregroup isn't supported. In such cases llc_mask was being referenced
when it was null leading to panic.

On powerpc, LLC is at SMT core level. So assumption that coregroup(MC)
domain point to LLC is wrong. Provide a way for archs to say where its
LLC is if it not at MC domain.

a494d3c8d5 ring-buffer: Flush and stop persistent ring buffer on panic
On real hardware, panic and machine reboot may not flush hardware cache
to memory. This means the persistent ring buffer, which relies on a
coherent state of memory, may not have its events written to the buffer
and they may be lost. Moreover, there may be inconsistency with the
counters which are used for validation of the integrity of the
persistent ring buffer which may cause all data to be discarded.

To avoid this issue, stop recording of the ring buffer on panic and
flush the cache of the ring buffer's memory.

e38b27199e console: mdacon: remove this obsolete driver
The mdacon driver supports using ISA MDA or Hercules-compatible display
adapters as a secondary text console. This was commonly used in the
1990s and earlier for debugging software which took over the primary
display. It is highly unlikely anyone is doing so nowadays because
serial consoles and much better methods of debugging exist.

The driver is not enabled by any defconfig, nor any of the
dozens of distro configs collected at [1]. It has been relegated to VTs
13-16 since commit 0b9cf3aa6b ("mdacon messing up default vc's - set
default to vc13-16 again") in Linux 2.6.27 (and before Linux 2.5.53 -
see the link in the message of the above commit). The change in 2.6.27
was done because it was incorrectly detecting non-MDA adapters as MDA
and taking over all VTs, rendering them unusable.

Furthermore, vgacon supports using MDA/Hercules-compatible adapters as
the primary text console, so any systems with only one of these
adapters were already using vgacon and will not experience any loss in
functionality from the removal of this driver.

Given all of these factors, the mdacon driver is likely entirely
unused. Remove it.

Pull s390 updates from Vasily Gorbik:

 - Add support for CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK and enable it in
   debug_defconfig. s390 can only tell user from kernel PTEs via the mm,
   so mm_struct is now passed into pxx_user_accessible_page() callbacks

 - Expose the PCI function UID as an arch-specific slot attribute in
   sysfs so a function can be identified by its user-defined id while
   still in standby. Introduces a generic ARCH_PCI_SLOT_GROUPS hook in
   drivers/pci/slot.c

 - Refresh s390 PCI documentation to reflect current behavior and cover
   previously undocumented sysfs attributes

 - zcrypt device driver cleanup series: consistent field types, clearer
   variable naming, a kernel-doc warning fix, and a comment explaining
   the intentional synchronize_rcu() in pkey_handler_register()

 - Provide an s390 arch_raw_cpu_ptr() that avoids the detour via
   get_lowcore() using alternatives, shrinking defconfig by ~27 kB

 - Guard identity-base randomization with kaslr_enabled() so nokaslr
   keeps the identity mapping at 0 even with RANDOMIZE_IDENTITY_BASE=y

 - Build S390_MODULES_SANITY_TEST as a module only by requiring KUNIT &&
   m, since built-in would not exercise module loading

 - Remove the permanently commented-out HMCDRV_DEV_CLASS create_class()
   code in the hmcdrv driver

 - "cleanup the RAID5 XOR library" (Christoph Hellwig)

   A quite far-reaching cleanup to this code. I can't do better than to
   quote Christoph:

     "The XOR library used for the RAID5 parity is a bit of a mess right
      now. The main file sits in crypto/ despite not being cryptography
      and not using the crypto API, with the generic implementations
      sitting in include/asm-generic and the arch implementations
      sitting in an asm/ header in theory. The latter doesn't work for
      many cases, so architectures often build the code directly into
      the core kernel, or create another module for the architecture
      code.

      Change this to a single module in lib/ that also contains the
      architecture optimizations, similar to the library work Eric
      Biggers has done for the CRC and crypto libraries later. After
      that it changes to better calling conventions that allow for
      smarter architecture implementations (although none is contained
      here yet), and uses static_call to avoid indirection function call
      overhead"

fdcbb1bc06 Merge branch 'nocache-cleanup'
This series cleans up some of the special user copy functions naming and
semantics.  In particular, get rid of the (very traditional) double
underscore names and behavior: the whole "optimize away the range check"
model has been largely excised from the other user accessors because
it's so subtle and can be unsafe, but also because it's just not a
relevant optimization any more.

To do that, a couple of drivers that misused the "user" copies as kernel
copies in order to get non-temporal stores had to be fixed up, but that
kind of code should never have been allowed anyway.

The x86-only "nocache" version was also renamed to more accurately
reflect what it actually does.

This was all done because I looked at this code due to a report by Jann
Horn, and I just couldn't stand the inconsistent naming, the horrible
semantics, and the random misuse of these functions.  This code should
probably be cleaned up further, but it's at least slightly closer to
normal semantics.

I had a more intrusive series that went even further in trying to
normalize the semantics, but that ended up hitting so many other
inconsistencies between different architectures in this area (eg
'size_t' vs 'unsigned long' vs 'int' as size arguments, and various
iovec check differences that Vasily Gorbik pointed out) that I ended up
with this more limited version that fixed the worst of the issues.

3a6455d56b mm: convert do_brk_flags() to use vma_flags_t
In order to be able to do this, we need to change VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS
and friends and update the architecture-specific definitions also.

We then have to update some KSM logic to handle VMA flags, and introduce
VMA_STACK_FLAGS to define the vma_flags_t equivalent of VM_STACK_FLAGS.

We also introduce two helper functions for use during the time we are
converting legacy flags to vma_flags_t values - vma_flags_to_legacy() and
legacy_to_vma_flags().

This enables us to iteratively make changes to break these changes up into
separate parts.

We use these explicitly here to keep VM_STACK_FLAGS around for certain
users which need to maintain the legacy vm_flags_t values for the time
being.

We are no longer able to rely on the simple VM_xxx being set to zero if
the feature is not enabled, so in the case of VM_DROPPABLE we introduce
VMA_DROPPABLE as the vma_flags_t equivalent, which is set to
EMPTY_VMA_FLAGS if the droppable flag is not available.

While we're here, we make the description of do_brk_flags() into a kdoc
comment, as it almost was already.

We use vma_flags_to_legacy() to not need to update the vm_get_page_prot()
logic as this time.

Note that in create_init_stack_vma() we have to replace the BUILD_BUG_ON()
with a VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() as the tested values are no longer build time
available.

We also update mprotect_fixup() to use VMA flags where possible, though we
have to live with a little duplication between vm_flags_t and vma_flags_t
values for the time being until further conversions are made.

While we're here, update VM_SPECIAL to be defined in terms of
VMA_SPECIAL_FLAGS now we have vma_flags_to_legacy().

Finally, we update the VMA tests to reflect these changes.

a62ca3f40f mm: change to return bool for ptep_test_and_clear_young()
Patch series "change young flag check functions to return bool", v2.

This is a cleanup patchset to change all young flag check functions to
return bool, as discussed with David in the previous thread[1].  Since
callers only care about whether the young flag was set, returning bool
makes the intention clearer.  No functional changes intended.


This patch (of 6):

Callers use ptep_test_and_clear_young() to clear the young flag and check
whether it was set.  Change the return type to bool to make the intention
clearer.

6215d9f447 arch, mm: consolidate empty_zero_page
Reduce 22 declarations of empty_zero_page to 3 and 23 declarations of
ZERO_PAGE() to 4.

Every architecture defines empty_zero_page that way or another, but for the
most of them it is always a page aligned page in BSS and most definitions
of ZERO_PAGE do virt_to_page(empty_zero_page).

Move Linus vetted x86 definition of empty_zero_page and ZERO_PAGE() to the
core MM and drop these definitions in architectures that do not implement
colored zero page (MIPS and s390).

ZERO_PAGE() remains a macro because turning it to a wrapper for a static
inline causes severe pain in header dependencies.

For the most part the change is mechanical, with these being noteworthy:

* alpha: aliased empty_zero_page with ZERO_PGE that was also used for boot
  parameters. Switching to a generic empty_zero_page removes the aliasing
  and keeps ZERO_PGE for boot parameters only
* arm64: uses __pa_symbol() in ZERO_PAGE() so that definition of
  ZERO_PAGE() is kept intact.
* m68k/parisc/um: allocated empty_zero_page from memblock,
  although they do not support zero page coloring and having it in BSS
  will work fine.
* sparc64 can have empty_zero_page in BSS rather allocate it, but it
  can't use virt_to_page() for BSS. Keep it's definition of ZERO_PAGE()
  but instead of allocating it, make mem_map_zero point to
  empty_zero_page.
* sh: used empty_zero_page for boot parameters at the very early boot.
  Rename the parameters page to boot_params_page and let sh use the generic
  empty_zero_page.
* hexagon: had an amusing comment about empty_zero_page

	/* A handy thing to have if one has the RAM. Declared in head.S */

  that unfortunately had to go :)

cae734710d powerpc/net: Inline checksum wrappers and convert to scoped user access
Commit 861574d51b ("powerpc/uaccess: Implement masked user access")
provides optimised user access by avoiding the cost of access_ok().

Convert csum_and_copy_to_user() and csum_and_copy_from_user() to
scoped user access to benefit from masked user access.

csum_and_copy_to_user() and csum_and_copy_from_user() are only
called respectively by csum_and_copy_to_iter() and
csum_and_copy_from_iter_full() and they are only called twice.

Those functions used to be large but they were first reduced by
commit c693cc4676 ("saner calling conventions for
csum_and_copy_..._user()") then commit 70d65cd555 ("ppc: propagate
the calling conventions change down to csum_partial_copy_generic()").
With the additional size reduction provided by conversion to scoped
user access they are not worth being kept out of line.

f53b24d1fa powerpc/crash: Update backup region offset in elfcorehdr on memory hotplug
When elfcorehdr is prepared for kdump, the program header representing
the first 64 KB of memory is expected to have its offset point to the
backup region. This is required because purgatory copies the first 64 KB
of the crashed kernel memory to this backup region following a kernel
crash. This allows the capture kernel to use the first 64 KB of memory
to place the exception vectors and other required data.

When elfcorehdr is recreated due to memory hotplug, the offset of
the program header representing the first 64 KB is not updated.
As a result, the capture kernel exports the first 64 KB at offset
0, even though the data actually resides in the backup region.

Fix this by calling sync_backup_region_phdr() to update the program
header offset in the elfcorehdr created during memory hotplug.

sync_backup_region_phdr() works for images loaded via the
kexec_file_load syscall. However, it does not work for kexec_load,
because image->arch.backup_start is not initialized in that case.
So introduce machine_kexec_post_load() to process the elfcorehdr
prepared by kexec-tools and initialize image->arch.backup_start for
kdump images loaded via kexec_load syscall.

Rename update_backup_region_phdr() to sync_backup_region_phdr() and
extend it to synchronize the backup region offset between the kdump
image and the ELF core header. The helper now supports updating either
the kdump image from the ELF program header or updating the ELF program
header from the kdump image, avoiding code duplication.

Define ARCH_HAS_KIMAGE_ARCH and struct kimage_arch when
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE or CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP is enabled so that
kimage->arch.backup_start is available with the kexec_load system call.

This patch depends on the patch titled
"powerpc/crash: fix backup region offset update to elfcorehdr".

809b997a5c x86-64/arm64/powerpc: clean up and rename __copy_from_user_flushcache
This finishes the work on these odd functions that were only implemented
by a handful of architectures.

The 'flushcache' function was only used from the iterator code, and
let's make it do the same thing that the nontemporal version does:
remove the two underscores and add the user address checking.

Yes, yes, the user address checking is also done at iovec import time,
but we have long since walked away from the old double-underscore thing
where we try to avoid address checking overhead at access time, and
these functions shouldn't be so special and old-fashioned.

The arm64 version already did the address check, in fact, so there it's
just a matter of renaming it.  For powerpc and x86-64 we now do the
proper user access boilerplate.

d1503aa9ab powerpc/64s: Add support for huge pfnmaps
This uses _RPAGE_SW2 bit for the PMD and PUDs similar to PTEs.
This also adds support for {pte,pmd,pud}_pgprot helpers needed for
follow_pfnmap APIs.

This allows us to extend the PFN mappings, e.g. PCI MMIO bars where
it can grow as large as 8GB or even bigger, to map at PMD / PUD level.
VFIO PCI core driver already supports fault handling at PMD / PUD level
for more efficient BAR mappings.

bf7c1497d2 powerpc/64s: Move serialize_against_pte_lookup() to hash_pgtable.c
Originally,
commit fa4531f753 ("powerpc/mm: Don't send IPI to all cpus on THP updates")
introduced serialize_against_pte_lookup() call for both Radix and Hash.

However below commit fixed the race with Radix
commit 70cbc3cc78 ("mm: gup: fix the fast GUP race against THP collapse")

And therefore following commit removed the
serialize_against_pte_lookup() call from radix_pgtable.c
commit bedf034169
("powerpc/64s/radix: don't need to broadcast IPI for radix pmd collapse flush")

Now since serialize_against_pte_lookup() only gets called from
hash__pmdp_collapse_flush(), thus move the related functions to
hash_pgtable.c

Hence this patch:
- moves serialize_against_pte_lookup() from radix_pgtable.c to hash_pgtable.c
- removes the radix specific calls from do_serialize()
- renames do_serialize() to do_nothing().

There should not be any functionality change in this patch.

68b1fa0ed5 powerpc/64s: Fix _HPAGE_CHG_MASK to include _PAGE_SPECIAL bit
commit af38538801 ("mm/memory: factor out common code from vm_normal_page_*()"),
added a VM_WARN_ON_ONCE for huge zero pfn.

This can lead to the following call stack.

          VM_WARN_ON(is_zero_pfn(pfn) || is_huge_zero_pfn(pfn));  # this get hits as _PAGE_SPECIAL for zero huge pmd was cleared.

It can be easily reproduced with the following testcase:
	p = mmap(NULL, 2 * hpage_pmd_size, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE |
		 MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
	madvise((void *)p, 2 * hpage_pmd_size, MADV_HUGEPAGE);
	aligned = (char*)(((unsigned long)p + hpage_pmd_size - 1) &
				~(hpage_pmd_size - 1));
	(void)(*(volatile char*)aligned);  // read fault, installs huge zero PMD
	mprotect((void *)aligned, hpage_pmd_size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE);

This patch adds _PAGE_SPECIAL to _HPAGE_CHG_MASK similar to
_PAGE_CHG_MASK, as we don't want to clear this bit when calling
pmd_modify() while changing protection bits.

bbcbf045d6 powerpc/64s: Fix unmap race with PMD migration entries
The following race is possible with migration swap entries or
device-private THP entries. e.g. when move_pages is called on a PMD THP
page, then there maybe an intermediate state, where PMD entry acts as
a migration swap entry (pmd_present() is true). Then if an munmap
happens at the same time, then this VM_BUG_ON() can happen in
pmdp_huge_get_and_clear_full().

This patch fixes that.

Thread A: move_pages() syscall
  add_folio_for_migration()

    folio_isolate_lru(folio)
    mmap_read_unlock(mm)

        spin_unlock(ptl)

cf8771ca4c mm/page_table_check: Pass mm_struct to pxx_user_accessible_page()
Unlike other architectures, s390 does not have means to
distinguish kernel vs user page table entries - neither
an entry itself, nor the address could be used for that.
It is only the mm_struct that indicates whether an entry
in question is mapped to a user space. So pass mm_struct
to pxx_user_accessible_page() callbacks.

6bc9c0a905 powerpc: fix KUAP warning in VMX usercopy path
On powerpc with PREEMPT_FULL or PREEMPT_LAZY and function tracing enabled,
KUAP warnings can be triggered from the VMX usercopy path under memory
stress workloads.

KUAP requires that no subfunctions are called once userspace access has
been enabled. The existing VMX copy implementation violates this
requirement by invoking enter_vmx_usercopy() from the assembly path after
userspace access has already been enabled. If preemption occurs
in this window, the AMR state may not be preserved correctly,
leading to unexpected userspace access state and resulting in
KUAP warnings.

Fix this by restructuring the VMX usercopy flow so that VMX selection
and VMX state management are centralized in raw_copy_tofrom_user(),
which is invoked by the raw_copy_{to,from,in}_user() wrappers.

The new flow is:

  - raw_copy_{to,from,in}_user() calls raw_copy_tofrom_user()
  - raw_copy_tofrom_user() decides whether to use the VMX path
    based on size and CPU capability
  - Call enter_vmx_usercopy() before enabling userspace access
  - Enable userspace access as per the copy direction
    and perform the VMX copy
  - Disable userspace access as per the copy direction
  - Call exit_vmx_usercopy()
  - Fall back to the base copy routine if the VMX copy faults

With this change, the VMX assembly routines no longer perform VMX state
management or call helper functions; they only implement the
copy operations.
The previous feature-section based VMX selection inside
__copy_tofrom_user_power7() is removed, and a dedicated
__copy_tofrom_user_power7_vmx() entry point is introduced.

This ensures correct KUAP ordering, avoids subfunction calls
while KUAP is unlocked, and eliminates the warnings while preserving
the VMX fast path.

On PPC32, for 64 bits vars a pair of registers is used. Usually the
lower register in the pair is the high part and the higher register is
the low part. GCC uses r3/r4 ... r11/r12 ... r14/r15 ... r30/r31

In older kernel code inline assembly was using %1 and %1+1 to represent
64 bits values. However here it looks like clang uses r31 as high part,
allthough r32 doesn't exist hence the error.

Allthoug %1+1 should work, most places now use %L1 instead of %1+1, so
let's do the same here.

With that change, the build doesn't fail anymore and a disassembly shows
clang uses r17/r18 and r31/r14 pair when GCC would have used r16/r17 and
r30/r31:

b9e7e3ea60 powerpc/e500: Always use 64 bits PTE
Today there are two PTE formats for e500:
- The 64 bits format, used
 - On 64 bits kernel
 - On 32 bits kernel with 64 bits physical addresses
 - On 32 bits kernel with support of huge pages
- The 32 bits format, used in other cases

Maintaining two PTE formats means unnecessary maintenance burden
because every change needs to be implemented and tested for both
formats.

Remove the 32 bits PTE format. The memory usage increase due to
larger PTEs is minimal (approx. 0,1% of memory).

This also means that from now on huge pages are supported also
with 32 bits physical addresses.

086498aed3 mm: convert __HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE to CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE config
For architectures that define __HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE, the page
tables at the pmd/pud level are generally not of struct ptdesc type, and
do not have pt_rcu_head member, thus these architectures cannot support
PT_RECLAIM.

In preparation for enabling PT_RECLAIM on more architectures, convert
__HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE to CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE config,
so that we can make conditional judgments in Kconfig.

133aa79e21 pseries/plpks: add HCALLs for PowerVM Key Wrapping Module
The hypervisor generated wrapping key is an AES-GCM-256 symmetric key which
is stored in a non-volatile, secure, and encrypted storage called the Power
LPAR Platform KeyStore. It has policy based protections that prevent it
from being read out or exposed to the user.

Implement H_PKS_GEN_KEY, H_PKS_WRAP_OBJECT, and H_PKS_UNWRAP_OBJECT HCALLs
to enable using the PowerVM Key Wrapping Module (PKWM) as a new trust
source for trusted keys. Disallow H_PKS_READ_OBJECT, H_PKS_SIGNED_UPDATE,
and H_PKS_WRITE_OBJECT for objects with the 'wrapping key' policy set.
Capture the availability status for the H_PKS_WRAP_OBJECT interface.

447eb1d5ef pseries/plpks: expose PowerVM wrapping features via the sysfs
Starting with Power11, PowerVM supports a new feature called "Key Wrapping"
that protects user secrets by wrapping them using a hypervisor generated
wrapping key. The status of this feature can be read by the
H_PKS_GET_CONFIG HCALL.

Expose the Power LPAR Platform KeyStore (PLPKS) wrapping features config
via the sysfs file /sys/firmware/plpks/config/wrapping_features.

40850c909f powerpc/pseries: move the PLPKS config inside its own sysfs directory
The /sys/firmware/secvar/config directory represents Power LPAR Platform
KeyStore (PLPKS) configuration properties such as max_object_size, signed_
update_algorithms, supported_policies, total_size, used_space, and version.
These attributes describe the PLPKS, and not the secure boot variables
(secvars).

Create /sys/firmware/plpks directory and move the PLPKS config inside this
directory. For backwards compatibility, create a soft link from the secvar
sysfs directory to this config and emit a warning stating that the older
sysfs path has been deprecated. Separate out the plpks specific
