Pull x86 TDX updates from Dave Hansen:
"There are a few cleanups, and some changes that should allow TDX and
kexec to coexist nicely.
The biggest change, however, is support for updating the TDX module
after boot, just like CPU microcode. TDX users really want this
because it lets them do security updates without tearing things down
and rebooting.
- Add TDX module update support
- Make kexec and TDX finally place nice together
- Put TDX error codes into a single header"

Pull timekeeping updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Updates for NTP/timekeeping and PTP:
- Expand timekeeping snapshot mechanisms
The various snapshot functions are mostly used for PTP to collect
"atomic" snapshots of various involved clocks.
They lack support for the recently introduced AUX clocks and do not
provide the underlying counter value (e.g. TSC) to user space.
Exposing the counter value snapshot allows for better control and
steering.
Convert the hard wired ktime_get_snapshot() to take a clock ID,
which allows the caller to select the clock ID to be captured along
with CLOCK_MONONOTONIC_RAW. Additionally capture the underlying
hardware counter value and the clock source ID of the counter.
Expand the hardware based snapshot capture where devices provide a
mechanism to snapshot the hardware PTP clock and the system counter
(usually via PCI/PTM) to support AUX clocks and also provide the
captured counter value back to the caller and not only the clock
timestamps derived from it.
- Add a new optional read_snapshot() callback to clocksources
That is required to capture atomic snapshots from clocksources
which are derived from TSC with a scaling mechanism (e.g. Hyper-V,
KVMclock).
The value pair is handed back in the snapshot structure to the
callers, so they can do the necessary correlations in a more
precise way.
This touches usage sites of the affected functions and data structure
all over the tree, but stays fully backwards compatible for the
existing user space exposed interfaces. New PTP IOCTLs will provide
access to the extended functionality in later kernel versions"

Pull interrupt core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Rework of /proc/interrupt handling:
/proc/interrupts was subject to micro optimizations for a long time,
but most of the low hanging fruit was left on the table. This rework
addresses the major time consuming issues:
- Printing a long series of zeros one by one via a format string
instead of counting subsequent zeros and emitting a string
constant.
- Simplify and cache the conditions whether interrupts should be
printed
- Use a proper iteration over the interrupt descriptor xarray
instead of walking and testing one by one.
- Provide helper functions for the architecture code to emit the
architecture specific counters
- Convert the counter structure in x86 to an array, which
simplifies the output and add mechanisms to suppress unused
architecture interrupts, which just occupy space for nothing.
Adopt the new core mechanisms.
This adjusts the gdb scripts related to interrupt counter statistics
to work with the new mechanisms.

creation code.

Implement the read_snapshot() callback for the kvmclock clocksource. This
returns the kvmclock nanosecond value (for timekeeping) while also
providing the raw TSC value that was used to compute it.
The TSC is read inside the pvclock seqlock-protected region, ensuring the
raw TSC and derived kvmclock value are atomically paired.
This enables ktime_get_snapshot_id() to provide the raw TSC to consumers
like the vmclock PTP driver, which currently has to do a separate call to
get_cycles() to obtain a value at *approximately* the same time, to feed
through the vmclock calculation.

On machines which don't have microcode applied yet, the revision is 0.
However, this doesn't work with the Zen family/model/stepping patch
arithmetic. So move the fixup to the patch level getter function and
this way make sure the patch level is always proper and thus the
arithmetic always works.
And now that it can be called on any family, make this Zen-only.

This reverts
dc8aa31a7a ("x86/fpu: Refine and simplify the magic number check during signal return").
The aforementioned commit broke applications that construct signal frames in
userspace (such as CRIU and gVisor) if the frame's xstate size is smaller than
the kernel's fpstate->user_size.
Furthermore, this introduces a critical issue for checkpoint/restore tools
like CRIU. If a process is checkpointed while inside a signal handler, its
stack contains a signal frame formatted according to the source host's xstate
capabilities.
If that process is later restored on a destination host with larger xstate
capabilities (e.g., a newer CPU with more features enabled, resulting in
a larger fpstate->user_size), the kernel will look for FP_XSTATE_MAGIC2 at the
destination host's larger user_size offset instead of the offset encoded in
the frame's fx_sw->xstate_size.
This causes the magic2 check to fail, forcing sigreturn to silently fall back
to "FX-only" mode. Upon return from the signal handler, the process's extended
state is reset to initial values instead of being restored, leading to silent
data corruption.
The aforementioned commit cited
d877550eaf ("x86/fpu: Stop relying on userspace for info to fault in xsave buffer")
as justification to stop relying on userspace for the magic number check.
However, these two changes are fundamentally different. The last one only
changed how much memory the kernel ensures is paged-in before running XRSTOR
to prevent an infinite loop. It did not change the signal frame format or how
the layout is validated.
Reverting this change restores the use of fx_sw->xstate_size for
locating magic2 and restores the necessary sanity checks, ensuring that
the signal frame remains self-describing and portable.

On x86 SMP systems with the F00F bug present, do_clear_cpu_cap()
rightfully warns that the code clears the X86_BUG_F00F flag after
alternatives have been patched.
X86_BUG_F00F is first cleared in intel_workarounds() and then set for
the affected models. This sequence works fine on the BSP but on AP
bringup, where alternatives have already been patched and clearing the
flag there triggers the warning.
There is no technical reason for clearing the flag before setting it. It
is mainly an artifact of introducing the X86_BUG_F00F flag in
e2604b49e8 ("x86, cpu: Convert F00F bug detection").
Remove the unnecessary clearing of the flag.
While at it, remove the kernel notification and the surrounding logic to
inform the user about the workaround exactly once. If needed, the
presence of the F00F bug can be determined through /proc/cpuinfo.
Additionally, the F00F bug was the last remaining user of clear_cpu_bug().
With no users left, get rid of this helper as well.

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
This small reproducer allows to easily trigger the crash:
# echo 'p __x64_sys_clock_nanosleep' > /sys/kernel/tracing/kprobe_events
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/kprobes/p___x64_sys_clock_nanosleep_0/enable
# usleep 1
Monitoring the crash under GDB points to the exact instruction in charge of
incrementing the call depth:
sarq $5, %gs:__x86_call_depth(%rip)
This instruction matches the one inserted by the ftrace_regs_caller from
ftrace_64.S. This emitted code was likely working fine until the introduction
of
59bec00ace ("x86/percpu: Introduce %rip-relative addressing to PER_CPU_VAR()"):
it has made the call depth accounting addressing relative to $rip, instead of
being based on an absolute address.
As this code exact location depends on where the trampoline lives in memory,
the corresponding displacement needs to be adjusted at runtime to actually
correctly find the per-cpu __x86_call_depth value, otherwise the targeted
address is wrong, leading to the page fault seen above.
Fix the %rip-relative displacement of the copied CALL_DEPTH_ACCOUNT
instruction (from ftrace_regs_caller) by calling text_poke_apply_relocation(),
as it is done for example by the x86 BPF JIT compiler through
x86_call_depth_emit_accounting(). This corrects both CALL_DEPTH_ACCOUNT slots,
in ftrace_caller and ftrace_regs_caller.

because the kernel is booted in a guest.
In order to avoid it, this MSR access needs to be prevented when running
virtualized. That is usually done by checking X86_FEATURE_HYPERVISOR but
for this particular case it is too early yet.
The platform ID needs to be read as early as when microcode is loaded on
the BSP:
load_ucode_bsp ... -> get_microcode_blob ... -> intel_find_matching_signature
and by that time, CPUID leafs haven't been parsed yet.
The microcode loader already has logic to check early whether the kernel
is running virtualized so make that globally available to arch/x86/. The
query whether running virtualized is getting more and more prominent in
recent times so might as well make it an arch-global var which the rest
of the code can use.

The special treatment of these counts is just adding extra code for no real
value. The irq_stats mechanism allows to suppress output of counters, which
should never happen by default and provides a mechanism to enable them for
the rare case that they occur.
Move the IOAPIC misrouted and the PIC/APIC error counts into irq_stats,
mark them suppressed by default and update the sites which increment them.
This changes the output format of 'ERR' and 'MIS' in case there are events
to the regular per CPU display format and otherwise suppresses them
completely.
As a side effect this removes the arch_cpu_stat() mechanism from proc/stat
which was only there to account for the error interrupts on x86 and missed
to take the misrouted ones into account.

Unlikely interrupt counters like the spurious vector and the synthetic APIC
ICR read retry show up in /proc/interrupts with all counts 0 most of the
time.
As these are events which should never happen, suppress them by default and
enable them for output when they actually happen.
This requires a seperate bitmap as the description array is marked
__ro_after_init. With that bitmap in place it becomes RO data.

Having the x86 specific interrupt statistics as a data structure with
individual members instead of an array is just stupid as it requires
endless copy and paste in arch_show_interrupts() and arch_irq_stat_cpu(),
where the latter does not even take the latest interrupt additions into
account. The resulting #ifdef orgy is just disgusting.
Convert it to an array of counters, which does not make a difference in the
actual interrupt hotpath increment as the array index is constant and
therefore not any different than the member based access.
But in arch_show_interrupts() and arch_irq_stat_cpu() this just turns into
a loop, which reduces the text size by ~2k (~12%):
text data bss dec hex filename
19643 15250 904 35797 8bd5 ../build/arch/x86/kernel/irq.o
17355 15250 904 33509 82e5 ../build/arch/x86/kernel/irq.o
Adding a new vector or software counter only requires to update the table
and everything just works. Using the core provided emit function which
speeds up 0 outputs makes it significantly faster.

Monitoring tools periodically scan /proc/interrupts to export metrics as a
timeseries for future analysis and investigation.
In large fleets, /proc/interrupts is polled (often every few seconds) on
every machine. The cumulative overhead adds up quickly across thousands
of nodes, so reducing the cost of generating these stats does have a
measurable operational impact. With the ongoing trend toward higher core
counts per machine, this cost becomes even more noticeable over time,
since interrupt counters are per-CPU. In Meta's fleet, we have observed
this overhead at scale.
Although a binary /proc interface would be a better long-term solution
due to lower formatting (kernel side) and parsing (userspace side)
overhead, the text interface will remain in use for some time, even if
better solutions will be available. Optimizing the /proc/interrupts
printing code is therefore still beneficial.
Function seq_printf() supports rich format string for decimals printing,
but it doesn't required for printing /proc/interrupts per CPU counters,
seq_put_decimal_ull_width() function can be used instead to print per
CPU counters, because very limited formatting is required for this case.
Similar optimization idea is already used in show_interrupts().
As a side effect this aligns the x86 decriptions with the generic
interrupts event descriptions.

Booting with "nopcid" clears X86_FEATURE_PCID and keeps CR4.PCIDE from being
set to one. On AMD CPUs that support INVLPGB, broadcast TLB flushing remains
enabled.
There are two checks that decide whether the global ASID code runs,
mm_global_asid() and consider_global_asid(), that key off of the
X86_FEATURE_INVLPGB feature. Once an mm becomes active on more than three
CPUs, consider_global_asid() assigns it a global ASID, after which
flush_tlb_mm_range() takes the broadcast_tlb_flush() path using a non-zero
PCID. Issuing an INVLPGB with a non-zero PCID while CR4.PCIDE is not set
results in a #GP:

All processors that support broadcast TLB invalidation also have PCID support,
so it is only the "nopcid" scenario that is of concern. In this situation just
disable the broadcast TLB support using the CPUID dependency support by making
X86_FEATURE_INVLPGB dependent on X86_FEATURE_PCID.

RongQing reported that the MCA polling interval doesn't halve when an
error gets logged. It was traced down to the commit in Fixes:, because:
mce_timer_fn()
|-> mce_poll_banks()
|-> machine_check_poll()
|-> mce_log()
which will queue the work and return.
Now, back in mce_timer_fn():
/*
* Alert userspace if needed. If we logged an MCE, reduce the polling
* interval, otherwise increase the polling interval.
*/
if (mce_notify_irq())
<--- here we haven't ran the notifier chain yet so mce_need_notify is
not set yet so this won't hit and we won't halve the interval iv.
Now the notifier chain runs. mce_early_notifier() sets the bit, does
mce_notify_irq(), that clears the bit and then the notifier chain
a little later logs the error.
So this is a silly timing issue.
But, that's all unnecessary.
All it needs to happen here is, the "should we notify of a logged MCE"
mce_notify_irq() asks, should be simply a question to the mce gen pool:
"Are you empty?"
And that then turns into a simple yes or no answer and it all
JustWorks(tm).
So do that and also distribute the functionality where it belongs:
- Print that MCE events have been logged in mce_log()
- Trigger the mcelog tool specific work in the first notifier
As a result, mce_notify_irq() can go now.

Introduce a CPUID parser for populating the system's CPUID tables.
Since accessing a leaf within the CPUID table requires compile time
tokenization, split the parser into two stages:
(a) Compile-time macros for tokenizing the leaf/subleaf offsets within
the CPUID table.
(b) Generic runtime code to fill the CPUID data, using a parsing table
which collects these compile-time offsets.
For actual CPUID output parsing, support both generic and leaf-specific
read functions.
To ensure CPUID data early availability, invoke the parser during early
boot, early Xen boot, and at early secondary CPUs bring up.
Provide call site APIs to refresh a single leaf, or a leaf range, within
the CPUID tables. This is for sites issuing MSR writes that partially
change the CPU's CPUID layout. Doing full CPUID table rescans in such
cases will be destructive since the CPUID tables will host all of the
kernel's X86_FEATURE flags at a later stage.

A new CPUID model will be added where its APIs will be designated as the
official CPUID API. Free the cpuid_leaf() and cpuid_subleaf() function
names for that API. Rename them accordingly to cpuid_read() and
cpuid_read_subleaf().
For kernel/cpuid.c, rename its local file operations read function from
cpuid_read() to cpuid_read_f() so that it does not conflict with the new
API.
