x86/tracing, x86/mm: Move page fault tracepoints to generic
x86/tracing, x86/mm: Remove redundant trace_pagefault_key
Boot code changes:
- A large series of changes to reorganize the x86 boot code into a better isolated
and easier to maintain base of PIC early startup code in arch/x86/boot/startup/,
by Ard Biesheuvel.
Motivation & background:
| Since commit
|
| c88d71508e ("x86/boot/64: Rewrite startup_64() in C")
|
| dated Jun 6 2017, we have been using C code on the boot path in a way
| that is not supported by the toolchain, i.e., to execute non-PIC C
| code from a mapping of memory that is different from the one provided
| to the linker. It should have been obvious at the time that this was a
| bad idea, given the need to sprinkle fixup_pointer() calls left and
| right to manipulate global variables (including non-pointer variables)
| without crashing.
|
| This C startup code has been expanding, and in particular, the SEV-SNP
| startup code has been expanding over the past couple of years, and
| grown many of these warts, where the C code needs to use special
| annotations or helpers to access global objects.

irq_fpu_usable() incorrectly returned true before the FPU is
initialized. The x86 CPU onlining code can call sha256() to checksum
AMD microcode images, before the FPU is initialized. Since sha256()
recently gained a kernel-mode FPU optimized code path, a crash occurred
in kernel_fpu_begin_mask() during hotplug CPU onlining.
(The crash did not occur during boot-time CPU onlining, since the
optimized sha256() code is not enabled until subsys_initcalls run.)
Fix this by making irq_fpu_usable() return false before fpu__init_cpu()
has run. To do this without adding any additional overhead to
irq_fpu_usable(), replace the existing per-CPU bool in_kernel_fpu with
kernel_fpu_allowed which tracks both initialization and usage rather
than just usage. The initial state is false; FPU initialization sets it
to true; kernel-mode FPU sections toggle it to false and then back to
true; and CPU offlining restores it to the initial state of false.

To start an application processor in SNP-isolated guest, a hypercall
is used that takes a virtual processor index. The hv_snp_boot_ap()
function uses that START_VP hypercall but passes as VP index to it
what it receives as a wakeup_secondary_cpu_64 callback: the APIC ID.
As those two aren't generally interchangeable, that may lead to hung
APs if the VP index and the APIC ID don't match up.
Update the parameter names to avoid confusion as to what the parameter
is. Use the APIC ID to the VP index conversion to provide the correct
input to the hypercall.

Virtual machines can exploit bus locks to degrade the performance of
the system. Bus locks can be caused by Non-WB(Write back) and
misaligned locked RMW (Read-modify-Write) instructions and require
systemwide synchronization among all processors which can result into
significant performance penalties.
To address this issue, the Bus Lock Threshold feature is introduced to
provide ability to hypervisor to restrict guests' capability of
initiating mulitple buslocks, thereby preventing system slowdowns.
Support for the buslock threshold is indicated via CPUID function
0x8000000A_EDX[29].
On the processors that support the Bus Lock Threshold feature, the
VMCB provides a Bus Lock Threshold enable bit and an unsigned 16-bit
Bus Lock threshold count.
VMCB intercept bit
VMCB Offset Bits Function
14h 5 Intercept bus lock operations
Bus lock threshold count
VMCB Offset Bits Function
120h 15:0 Bus lock counter
When a VMRUN instruction is executed, the bus lock threshold count is
loaded into an internal count register. Before the processor executes
a bus lock in the guest, it checks the value of this register:
- If the value is greater than '0', the processor successfully
executes the bus lock and decrements the count.
- If the value is '0', the bus lock is not executed, and a #VMEXIT to
the VMM is taken.
The bus lock threshold #VMEXIT is reported to the VMM with the VMEXIT
code A5h, SVM_EXIT_BUS_LOCK.

Misbehaving guests can cause bus locks to degrade the performance of
the system. The Bus Lock Threshold feature can be used to address this
issue by providing capability to the hypervisor to limit guest's
ability to generate bus lock, thereby preventing system slowdown due
to performance penalities.
When the Bus Lock Threshold feature is enabled, the processor checks
the bus lock threshold count before executing the buslock and decides
whether to trigger bus lock exit or not.
The value of the bus lock threshold count '0' generates bus lock
exits, and if the value is greater than '0', the bus lock is executed
successfully and the bus lock threshold count is decremented.
Presence of the Bus Lock threshold feature is indicated via CPUID
function 0x8000000A_EDX[29].

The resctrl pseudo-lock feature allows an architecture to allocate data
into particular cache portions, which are then treated as reserved to
avoid that data ever being evicted. Setting this up is deeply architecture
specific as it involves disabling prefetchers etc. It is not possible
to support this kind of feature on arm64. Risc-V is assumed to be the
same.
The prototypes for the architecture code were added to x86's asm/resctrl.h,
with other architectures able to provide stubs for their architecture. This
forces other architectures to provide identical stubs.
Move the prototypes and stubs to linux/resctrl.h, and switch between them
using the existing Kconfig symbol.

resctrl_sched_in() loads the architecture specific CPU MSRs with the
CLOSID and RMID values. This function was named before resctrl was
split to have architecture specific code, and generic filesystem code.
This function is obviously architecture specific, but does not begin
with 'resctrl_arch_', making it the odd one out in the functions an
architecture needs to support to enable resctrl.
Rename it for consistency. This is purely cosmetic.

kexec handover (KHO) creates a metadata that the kernels pass between each
other during kexec. This metadata is stored in memory and kexec image
contains a (physical) pointer to that memory.
In addition, KHO keeps "scratch regions" available for kexec: physically
contiguous memory regions that are guaranteed to not have any memory that
KHO would preserve. The new kernel bootstraps itself using the scratch
regions and sets all handed over memory as in use. When subsystems that
support KHO initialize, they introspect the KHO metadata, restore
preserved memory regions, and retrieve their state stored in the preserved
memory.
Enlighten x86 kexec-file and boot path about the KHO metadata and make
sure it gets passed along to the next kernel.

Pull x86 ITS mitigation from Dave Hansen:
"Mitigate Indirect Target Selection (ITS) issue.
I'd describe this one as a good old CPU bug where the behavior is
_obviously_ wrong, but since it just results in bad predictions it
wasn't wrong enough to notice. Well, the researchers noticed and also
realized that thus bug undermined a bunch of existing indirect branch
mitigations.
Thus the unusually wide impact on this one. Details:
ITS is a bug in some Intel CPUs that affects indirect branches
including RETs in the first half of a cacheline. Due to ITS such
branches may get wrongly predicted to a target of (direct or indirect)
branch that is located in the second half of a cacheline. Researchers
at VUSec found this behavior and reported to Intel.
Affected processors:
- Cascade Lake, Cooper Lake, Whiskey Lake V, Coffee Lake R, Comet
Lake, Ice Lake, Tiger Lake and Rocket Lake.
Scope of impact:
- Guest/host isolation:
When eIBRS is used for guest/host isolation, the indirect branches
in the VMM may still be predicted with targets corresponding to
direct branches in the guest.
- Intra-mode using cBPF:
cBPF can be used to poison the branch history to exploit ITS.
Realigning the indirect branches and RETs mitigates this attack
vector.
- User/kernel:
With eIBRS enabled user/kernel isolation is *not* impacted by ITS.
- Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier (IBPB):
Due to this bug indirect branches may be predicted with targets
corresponding to direct branches which were executed prior to IBPB.
This will be fixed in the microcode.
Mitigation:
As indirect branches in the first half of cacheline are affected, the
mitigation is to replace those indirect branches with a call to thunk that
is aligned to the second half of the cacheline.
RETs that take prediction from RSB are not affected, but they may be
affected by RSB-underflow condition. So, RETs in the first half of
cacheline are also patched to a return thunk that executes the RET aligned
to second half of cacheline"

The GHCB_MSR_VMPL_REQ_LEVEL macro lacked parentheses around the bitmask
expression, causing the shift operation to bind too early. As a result,
when requesting VMPL1 (e.g., GHCB_MSR_VMPL_REQ_LEVEL(1)), incorrect
values such as 0x000000016 were generated instead of the intended
0x100000016 (the requested VMPL level is specified in GHCBData[39:32]).
Fix the precedence issue by grouping the masked value before applying
the shift.

FineIBT-paranoid was using the retpoline bytes for the paranoid check,
disabling retpolines, because all parts that have IBT also have eIBRS
and thus don't need no stinking retpolines.
Except... ITS needs the retpolines for indirect calls must not be in
the first half of a cacheline :-/
So what was the paranoid call sequence:
<fineibt_paranoid_start>:
0: 41 ba 78 56 34 12 mov $0x12345678, %r10d
6: 45 3b 53 f7 cmp -0x9(%r11), %r10d
a: 4d 8d 5b <f0> lea -0x10(%r11), %r11
e: 75 fd jne d <fineibt_paranoid_start+0xd>
10: 41 ff d3 call *%r11
13: 90 nop
Now becomes:
<fineibt_paranoid_start>:
0: 41 ba 78 56 34 12 mov $0x12345678, %r10d
6: 45 3b 53 f7 cmp -0x9(%r11), %r10d
a: 4d 8d 5b f0 lea -0x10(%r11), %r11
e: 2e e8 XX XX XX XX cs call __x86_indirect_paranoid_thunk_r11
Where the paranoid_thunk looks like:
1d: <ea> (bad)
__x86_indirect_paranoid_thunk_r11:
1e: 75 fd jne 1d
__x86_indirect_its_thunk_r11:

ITS mitigation moves the unsafe indirect branches to a safe thunk. This
could degrade the prediction accuracy as the source address of indirect
branches becomes same for different execution paths.
To improve the predictions, and hence the performance, assign a separate
thunk for each indirect callsite. This is also a defense-in-depth measure
to avoid indirect branches aliasing with each other.
As an example, 5000 dynamic thunks would utilize around 16 bits of the
address space, thereby gaining entropy. For a BTB that uses
32 bits for indexing, dynamic thunks could provide better prediction
accuracy over fixed thunks.
Have ITS thunks be variable sized and use EXECMEM_MODULE_TEXT such that
they are both more flexible (got to extend them later) and live in 2M TLBs,
just like kernel code, avoiding undue TLB pressure.

Due to ITS, indirect branches in the lower half of a cacheline may be
vulnerable to branch target injection attack.
Introduce ITS-safe thunks to patch indirect branches in the lower half of
cacheline with the thunk. Also thunk any eBPF generated indirect branches
in emit_indirect_jump().
Below category of indirect branches are not mitigated:
- Indirect branches in the .init section are not mitigated because they are
discarded after boot.
- Indirect branches that are explicitly marked retpoline-safe.
Note that retpoline also mitigates the indirect branches against ITS. This
is because the retpoline sequence fills an RSB entry before RET, and it
does not suffer from RSB-underflow part of the ITS.

RTMR (Run-time Measurement Register) registers to record the build and boot
measurements of a virtual machine (VM). These registers are similar to PCR
(Platform Configuration Register) registers in the TPM (Trusted Platform

like attestation and trusted boot.
To facilitate updating the RTMR registers, the TDX module provides support
for the `TDG.MR.RTMR.EXTEND` TDCALL which can be used to securely extend

Add helper function to update RTMR registers. It will be used by the TDX

In commit 2e044911be ("x86/traps: Decode 0xEA instructions as #UD")
FineIBT starts using 0xEA as an invalid instruction like UD2. But
insn decoder always returns the length of "0xea" instruction as 7
because it does not check the (i64) superscript.
The x86 instruction decoder should also decode 0xEA on x86-64 as
a one-byte invalid instruction by decoding the "(i64)" superscript tag.
This stops decoding instruction which has (i64) but does not have (o64)
superscript in 64-bit mode at opcode and skips other fields.
With this change, insn_decoder_test says 0xea is 1 byte length if
x86-64 (-y option means 64-bit):
$ printf "0:\tea\t\n" | insn_decoder_test -y -v
insn_decoder_test: success: Decoded and checked 1 instructions

When granting userspace or a KVM guest access to an xfeature, preserve the
entity's existing supervisor and software-defined permissions as tracked
by __state_perm, i.e. use __state_perm to track *all* permissions even
though all supported supervisor xfeatures are granted to all FPUs and
FPU_GUEST_PERM_LOCKED disallows changing permissions.
Effectively clobbering supervisor permissions results in inconsistent
behavior, as xstate_get_group_perm() will report supervisor features for
process that do NOT request access to dynamic user xfeatures, whereas any
and all supervisor features will be absent from the set of permissions for
any process that is granted access to one or more dynamic xfeatures (which
right now means AMX).
The inconsistency isn't problematic because fpu_xstate_prctl() already
strips out everything except user xfeatures:
case ARCH_GET_XCOMP_PERM:
/*
* Lockless snapshot as it can also change right after the
* dropping the lock.
*/
permitted = xstate_get_host_group_perm();
permitted &= XFEATURE_MASK_USER_SUPPORTED;
return put_user(permitted, uptr);
case ARCH_GET_XCOMP_GUEST_PERM:
permitted = xstate_get_guest_group_perm();
permitted &= XFEATURE_MASK_USER_SUPPORTED;
return put_user(permitted, uptr);
and similarly KVM doesn't apply the __state_perm to supervisor states
(kvm_get_filtered_xcr0() incorporates xstate_get_guest_group_perm()):
case 0xd: {
u64 permitted_xcr0 = kvm_get_filtered_xcr0();
u64 permitted_xss = kvm_caps.supported_xss;
But if KVM in particular were to ever change, dropping supervisor
permissions would result in subtle bugs in KVM's reporting of supported
CPUID settings. And the above behavior also means that having supervisor
xfeatures in __state_perm is correctly handled by all users.
Dropping supervisor permissions also creates another landmine for KVM. If
more dynamic user xfeatures are ever added, requesting access to multiple
xfeatures in separate ARCH_REQ_XCOMP_GUEST_PERM calls will result in the
second invocation of __xstate_request_perm() computing the wrong ksize, as
as the mask passed to xstate_calculate_size() would not contain *any*
supervisor features.
Commit 781c64bfcb ("x86/fpu/xstate: Handle supervisor states in XSTATE
permissions") fudged around the size issue for userspace FPUs, but for
reasons unknown skipped guest FPUs. Lack of a fix for KVM "works" only
because KVM doesn't yet support virtualizing features that have supervisor
xfeatures, i.e. as of today, KVM guest FPUs will never need the relevant
xfeatures.
Simply extending the hack-a-fix for guests would temporarily solve the
ksize issue, but wouldn't address the inconsistency issue and would leave
another lurking pitfall for KVM. KVM support for virtualizing CET will
likely add CET_KERNEL as a guest-only xfeature, i.e. CET_KERNEL will not
be set in xfeatures_mask_supervisor() and would again be dropped when
granting access to dynamic xfeatures.
Note, the existing clobbering behavior is rather subtle. The @permitted
parameter to __xstate_request_perm() comes from:
permitted = xstate_get_group_perm(guest);
which is either fpu->guest_perm.__state_perm or fpu->perm.__state_perm,
where __state_perm is initialized to:
fpu->perm.__state_perm = fpu_kernel_cfg.default_features;
and copied to the guest side of things:
/* Same defaults for guests */
fpu->guest_perm = fpu->perm;
fpu_kernel_cfg.default_features contains everything except the dynamic
xfeatures, i.e. everything except XFEATURE_MASK_XTILE_DATA:
fpu_kernel_cfg.default_features = fpu_kernel_cfg.max_features;
fpu_kernel_cfg.default_features &= ~XFEATURE_MASK_USER_DYNAMIC;
When __xstate_request_perm() restricts the local "mask" variable to
compute the user state size:
mask &= XFEATURE_MASK_USER_SUPPORTED;
usize = xstate_calculate_size(mask, false);
it subtly overwrites the target __state_perm with "mask" containing only
user xfeatures:
perm = guest ? &fpu->guest_perm : &fpu->perm;
/* Pairs with the READ_ONCE() in xstate_get_group_perm() */
WRITE_ONCE(perm->__state_perm, mask);

Multiple testers reported the following new warning:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at arch/x86/mm/tlb.c:795
Which corresponds to:
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEBUG_VM) && WARN_ON_ONCE(prev != &init_mm &&
!cpumask_test_cpu(cpu, mm_cpumask(next))))
cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, mm_cpumask(next));
So the problem is that unuse_temporary_mm() explicitly clears
that bit; and it has to, because otherwise the flush_tlb_mm_range() in
__text_poke() will try sending IPIs, which are not at all needed.
See also:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241113095550.GBZzR3pg-RhJKPDazS@fat_crate.local/
Notably, the whole {,un}use_temporary_mm() thing requires preemption to
be disabled across it with the express purpose of keeping all TLB
nonsense CPU local, such that invalidations can also stay local etc.
However, as a side-effect, we violate this above WARN(), which sorta
makes sense for the normal case, but very much doesn't make sense here.
Change unuse_temporary_mm() to mark the mm_struct such that a further
exception (beyond init_mm) can be grafted, to keep the warning for all
the other cases.

The following register contains bits that indicate the cause for the
previous reset.
PMx000000C0 (FCH::PM::S5_RESET_STATUS)
This is useful for debug. The reasons for reset are broken into 6 high level
categories. Decode it by category and print during boot.
Specifics within a category are split off into debugging documentation.
The register is accessed indirectly through a "PM" port in the FCH. Use
MMIO access in order to avoid restrictions with legacy port access.
Use a late_initcall() to ensure that MMIO has been set up before trying to
access the register.
This register was introduced with AMD Family 17h, so avoid access on older
families. There is no CPUID feature bit for this register.

Borislav Petkov reported the following boot crash on x86-32,
with CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY=y:
| usercopy: Kernel memory overwrite attempt detected to SLUB object 'task_struct' (offset 2112, size 160)!
| ...
| kernel BUG at mm/usercopy.c:102!
So the useroffset and usersize arguments are what control the allowed
window of copying in/out of the "task_struct" kmem cache:
/* create a slab on which task_structs can be allocated */
task_struct_whitelist(&useroffset, &usersize);
task_struct_cachep = kmem_cache_create_usercopy("task_struct",
arch_task_struct_size, align,
SLAB_PANIC|SLAB_ACCOUNT,
useroffset, usersize, NULL);
task_struct_whitelist() positions this window based on the location of
the thread_struct within task_struct, and gets the arch-specific details
via arch_thread_struct_whitelist(offset, size):
static void __init task_struct_whitelist(unsigned long *offset, unsigned long *size)
{
/* Fetch thread_struct whitelist for the architecture. */
arch_thread_struct_whitelist(offset, size);
/*
* Handle zero-sized whitelist or empty thread_struct, otherwise
* adjust offset to position of thread_struct in task_struct.
*/
if (unlikely(*size == 0))
*offset = 0;
else
*offset += offsetof(struct task_struct, thread);
}
Commit cb7ca40a38 ("x86/fpu: Make task_struct::thread constant size")
removed the logic for the window, leaving:
static inline void
arch_thread_struct_whitelist(unsigned long *offset, unsigned long *size)
{
*offset = 0;
*size = 0;
}
So now there is no window that usercopy hardening will allow to be copied
in/out of task_struct.
But as reported above, there *is* a copy in copy_uabi_to_xstate(). (It
seems there are several, actually.)
int copy_sigframe_from_user_to_xstate(struct task_struct *tsk,
const void __user *ubuf)
{
return copy_uabi_to_xstate(x86_task_fpu(tsk)->fpstate, NULL, ubuf, &tsk->thread.pkru);
}
This appears to be writing into x86_task_fpu(tsk)->fpstate. With or
without CONFIG_X86_DEBUG_FPU, this resolves to:
((struct fpu *)((void *)(task) + sizeof(*(task))))
i.e. the memory "after task_struct" is cast to "struct fpu", and the
uses the "fpstate" pointer. How that pointer gets set looks to be
variable, but I think the one we care about here is:
fpu->fpstate = &fpu->__fpstate;
And struct fpu::__fpstate says:
struct fpstate __fpstate;
/*
* WARNING: '__fpstate' is dynamically-sized. Do not put
* anything after it here.
*/
So we're still dealing with a dynamically sized thing, even if it's not
within the literal struct task_struct -- it's still in the kmem cache,
though.
Looking at the kmem cache size, it has allocated "arch_task_struct_size"
bytes, which is calculated in fpu__init_task_struct_size():
int task_size = sizeof(struct task_struct);
task_size += sizeof(struct fpu);
/*
* Subtract off the static size of the register state.
* It potentially has a bunch of padding.
*/
task_size -= sizeof(union fpregs_state);
/*
* Add back the dynamically-calculated register state
* size.
*/
task_size += fpu_kernel_cfg.default_size;
/*
* We dynamically size 'struct fpu', so we require that
* 'state' be at the end of 'it:
*/
CHECK_MEMBER_AT_END_OF(struct fpu, __fpstate);
arch_task_struct_size = task_size;
So, this is still copying out of the kmem cache for task_struct, and the
window seems unchanged (still fpu regs). This is what the window was
before:
void fpu_thread_struct_whitelist(unsigned long *offset, unsigned long *size)
{
*offset = offsetof(struct thread_struct, fpu.__fpstate.regs);
*size = fpu_kernel_cfg.default_size;
}
And the same commit I mentioned above removed it.
I think the misunderstanding is here:
| The fpu_thread_struct_whitelist() quirk to hardened usercopy can be removed,
| now that the FPU structure is not embedded in the task struct anymore, which
| reduces text footprint a bit.
Yes, FPU is no longer in task_struct, but it IS in the kmem cache named
"task_struct", since the fpstate is still being allocated there.
Partially revert the earlier mentioned commit, along with a
recalculation of the fpstate regs location.

Consolidate the whole logic which determines whether the microcode loader
should be enabled or not into a single function and call it everywhere.
Well, almost everywhere - not in mk_early_pgtbl_32() because there the kernel
is running without paging enabled and checking dis_ucode_ldr et al would
require physical addresses and uglification of the code.
But since this is 32-bit, the easier thing to do is to simply map the initrd
unconditionally especially since that mapping is getting removed later anyway
by zap_early_initrd_mapping() and avoid the uglification.
In doing so, address the issue of old 486er machines without CPUID
support, not booting current kernels.

Merge mainline to pick up bcachefs poly1305 patch 4bf4b5046d
("bcachefs: use library APIs for ChaCha20 and Poly1305"). This
is a prerequisite for removing the poly1305 shash algorithm.
Most of the SEV support code used to reside in a single C source file
that was included in two places: the core kernel, and the decompressor.
The code that is actually shared with the decompressor was moved into a
separate, shared source file under startup/, on the basis that the
decompressor also executes from the early 1:1 mapping of memory.
However, while the elaborate #VC handling and instruction decoding that
it involves is also performed by the decompressor, it does not actually
occur in the core kernel at early boot, and therefore, does not need to
be part of the confined early startup code.
So split off the #VC handling code and move it back into arch/x86/coco
where it came from, into another C source file that is included from
both the decompressor and the core kernel.
Code movement only - no functional change intended.

Move early_setup_gdt() out of the startup code that is callable from the
1:1 mapping - this is not needed, and instead, it is better to expose
the helper that does reside in __head directly.
This reduces the amount of code that needs special checks for 1:1
execution suitability. In particular, it avoids dealing with the GHCB
page (and its physical address) in startup code, which runs from the
1:1 mapping, making physical to virtual translations ambiguous.

If CONFIG_X86_DEBUG_FPU=Y, arch_exit_to_user_mode_prepare() calls
arch_exit_work() even if ti_work == 0. There only reason is that we
want to call fpregs_assert_state_consistent() if TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD

This looks confusing. arch_exit_to_user_mode_prepare() can just call
fpregs_assert_state_consistent() unconditionally, it depends on
CONFIG_X86_DEBUG_FPU and checks TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD itself.

Now that switch_fpu_finish() doesn't load the FPU state, it makes more
sense to fold it into switch_fpu_prepare() renamed to switch_fpu(), and
more importantly, use the "prev_p" task as a target for TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD.
It doesn't make any sense to delay set_tsk_thread_flag(TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD)
until "prev_p" is scheduled again.
There is no worry about the very first context switch, fpu_clone() must
always set TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD.
Also, shift the test_tsk_thread_flag(TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD) from the callers
to switch_fpu().
Note that the "PF_KTHREAD | PF_USER_WORKER" check can be removed but
this deserves a separate patch which can change more functions, say,
kernel_fpu_begin_mask().

Consequently, their callers can check the results in the same way.

The third argument in wrmsr(msr, low, 0) is unnecessary. Instead, use
wrmsrq(msr, low), which automatically sets the higher 32 bits of the
MSR value to 0.

An MSR value is represented as a 64-bit unsigned integer, with existing
MSR instructions storing it in EDX:EAX as two 32-bit segments.
The new immediate form MSR instructions, however, utilize a 64-bit
general-purpose register to store the MSR value. To unify the usage of
all MSR instructions, let the default MSR access APIs accept an MSR
value as a single 64-bit argument instead of two 32-bit segments.
The dual 32-bit APIs are still available as convenient wrappers over the
APIs that handle an MSR value as a single 64-bit argument.
The following illustrates the updated derivation of the MSR write APIs:
__wrmsrq(u32 msr, u64 val)
/ \
/ \
native_wrmsrq(msr, val) native_wrmsr(msr, low, high)
|
|
native_write_msr(msr, val)
/ \
/ \
wrmsrq(msr, val) wrmsr(msr, low, high)
When CONFIG_PARAVIRT is enabled, wrmsrq() and wrmsr() are defined on top
of paravirt_write_msr():
paravirt_write_msr(u32 msr, u64 val)
/ \
/ \
wrmsrq(msr, val) wrmsr(msr, low, high)
paravirt_write_msr() invokes cpu.write_msr(msr, val), an indirect layer
of pv_ops MSR write call:
If on native:
cpu.write_msr = native_write_msr
If on Xen:
cpu.write_msr = xen_write_msr
Therefore, refactor pv_cpu_ops.write_msr{_safe}() to accept an MSR value
in a single u64 argument, replacing the current dual u32 arguments.
No functional change intended.

__rdmsr() is the lowest level MSR write API, with native_rdmsr()
and native_rdmsrq() serving as higher-level wrappers around it.
#define native_rdmsr(msr, val1, val2) \
do { \
u64 __val = __rdmsr((msr)); \
(void)((val1) = (u32)__val); \
(void)((val2) = (u32)(__val >> 32)); \
} while (0)
static __always_inline u64 native_rdmsrq(u32 msr)
{
return __rdmsr(msr);
}
However, __rdmsr() continues to be utilized in various locations.
MSR APIs are designed for different scenarios, such as native or
pvops, with or without trace, and safe or non-safe. Unfortunately,
the current MSR API names do not adequately reflect these factors,
making it challenging to select the most appropriate API for
various situations.
To pave the way for improving MSR API names, convert __rdmsr()
uses to native_rdmsrq() to ensure consistent usage. Later, these
APIs can be renamed to better reflect their implications, such as
native or pvops, with or without trace, and safe or non-safe.
No functional change intended.

__rdmsr() is the lowest-level primitive MSR read API, implemented in
assembly code and returning an MSR value in a u64 integer, on top of
which a convenience wrapper native_rdmsr() is defined to return an MSR
value in two u32 integers. For some reason, native_rdmsrq() is not
defined and __rdmsr() is directly used when it needs to return an MSR
value in a u64 integer.
Add the native_rdmsrq() helper, which is simply an alias of __rdmsr(),
to make native_rdmsr() and native_rdmsrq() a pair of MSR read APIs.

Functions offer type safety and better readability compared to macros.
Additionally, always inline functions can match the performance of
macros. Converting the rdpmc() macro into an always inline function
is simple and straightforward, so just make the change.
Moreover, the read result is now the returned value, further enhancing
readability.

To facilitate the relocation of rdtsc{,_ordered}() from <asm/msr.h>

<asm/msr.h> in <asm/tsc.h>, add an explicit <asm/msr.h> dependency

AMD EPYC 5th generation processors have introduced a feature that allows
the hypervisor to control the SEV_FEATURES that are set for, or by, a
guest [1]. ALLOWED_SEV_FEATURES can be used by the hypervisor to enforce
that SEV-ES and SEV-SNP guests cannot enable features that the
hypervisor does not want to be enabled.
Always enable ALLOWED_SEV_FEATURES. A VMRUN will fail if any
non-reserved bits are 1 in SEV_FEATURES but are 0 in
ALLOWED_SEV_FEATURES.
Some SEV_FEATURES - currently PmcVirtualization and SecureAvic
(see Appendix B, Table B-4) - require an opt-in via ALLOWED_SEV_FEATURES,
i.e. are off-by-default, whereas all other features are effectively
on-by-default, but still honor ALLOWED_SEV_FEATURES.

An AP destroy request for a target vCPU is typically followed by an
RMPADJUST to remove the VMSA attribute from the page currently being
used as the VMSA for the target vCPU. This can result in a vCPU that
is about to VMRUN to exit with #VMEXIT_INVALID.
This usually does not happen as APs are typically sitting in HLT when
being destroyed and therefore the vCPU thread is not running at the time.
However, if HLT is allowed inside the VM, then the vCPU could be about to
VMRUN when the VMSA attribute is removed from the VMSA page, resulting in
a #VMEXIT_INVALID when the vCPU actually issues the VMRUN and causing the
guest to crash. An RMPADJUST against an in-use (already running) VMSA
results in a #NPF for the vCPU issuing the RMPADJUST, so the VMSA
attribute cannot be changed until the VMRUN for target vCPU exits. The
Qemu command line option '-overcommit cpu-pm=on' is an example of allowing
HLT inside the guest.
Update the KVM_REQ_UPDATE_PROTECTED_GUEST_STATE event to include the
KVM_REQUEST_WAIT flag. The kvm_vcpu_kick() function will not wait for
requests to be honored, so create kvm_make_request_and_kick() that will
add a new event request and honor the KVM_REQUEST_WAIT flag. This will
ensure that the target vCPU sees the AP destroy request before returning
to the initiating vCPU should the target vCPU be in guest mode.

Track the PIR bitmap in posted interrupt descriptor structures as an array
of unsigned longs instead of using unionized arrays for KVM (u32s) versus
IRQ management (u64s). In practice, because the non-KVM usage is (sanely)
restricted to 64-bit kernels, all existing usage of the u64 variant is
already working with unsigned longs.
Using "unsigned long" for the array will allow reworking KVM's processing
of the bitmap to read/write in 64-bit chunks on 64-bit kernels, i.e. will
allow optimizing KVM by reducing the number of atomic accesses to PIR.
Opportunstically replace the open coded literals in the posted MSIs code
with the appropriate macro. Deliberately don't use ARRAY_SIZE() in the
for-loops, even though it would be cleaner from a certain perspective, in
anticipation of decoupling the processing from the array declaration.

Add a module param to each KVM vendor module to allow disabling device
posted interrupts without having to sacrifice all of APICv/AVIC, and to
also effectively enumerate to userspace whether or not KVM may be
utilizing device posted IRQs. Disabling device posted interrupts is
very desirable for testing, and can even be desirable for production
environments, e.g. if the host kernel wants to interpose on device
interrupts.
Put the module param in kvm-{amd,intel}.ko instead of kvm.ko to match
the overall APICv/AVIC controls, and to avoid complications with said
controls. E.g. if the param is in kvm.ko, KVM needs to be snapshot the
original user-defined value to play nice with a vendor module being
reloaded with different enable_apicv settings.

Rescan I/O APIC routes for a vCPU after handling an intercepted I/O APIC
EOI for an IRQ that is not targeting said vCPU, i.e. after handling what's
effectively a stale EOI VM-Exit. If a level-triggered IRQ is in-flight
when IRQ routing changes, e.g. because the guest changes routing from its
IRQ handler, then KVM intercepts EOIs on both the new and old target vCPUs,
so that the in-flight IRQ can be de-asserted when it's EOI'd.
However, only the EOI for the in-flight IRQ needs to be intercepted, as
IRQs on the same vector with the new routing are coincidental, i.e. occur
only if the guest is reusing the vector for multiple interrupt sources.
If the I/O APIC routes aren't rescanned, KVM will unnecessarily intercept
EOIs for the vector and negative impact the vCPU's interrupt performance.
Note, both commit db2bdcbbbd ("KVM: x86: fix edge EOI and IOAPIC reconfig
race") and commit 0fc5a36dd6 ("KVM: x86: ioapic: Fix level-triggered EOI
and IOAPIC reconfigure race") mentioned this issue, but it was considered
a "rare" occurrence thus was not addressed. However in real environments,
this issue can happen even in a well-behaved guest.

The latest AMD platform has introduced a new instruction called PREFETCHI.
This instruction loads a cache line from a specified memory address into
the indicated data or instruction cache level, based on locality reference
hints.
Feature bit definition:
CPUID_Fn80000021_EAX [bit 20] - Indicates support for IC prefetch.
This feature is analogous to Intel's PREFETCHITI (CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=1):EDX),
though the CPUID bit definitions differ between AMD and Intel.
Advertise support to userspace, as no additional enabling is necessary
(PREFETCHI can't be intercepted as there's no instruction specific behavior
that needs to be virtualize).
The feature is documented in Processor Programming Reference (PPR)
for AMD Family 1Ah Model 02h, Revision C1 (Link below).

Rename the WRMSRNS instruction opcode macro so that it doesn't collide

set of support feature bits, and adding WRMSRNS support in KVM will run
will run afoul of the opcode macro.

KVM has worked around one such collision in the past by #undef'ing the
problematic macro in order to avoid blocking a KVM rework, but such games
are generally undesirable, e.g. requires bleeding macro details into KVM,
risks weird behavior if what KVM is #undef'ing changes, etc.

Recently _pgd_alloc() was switched from using __get_free_pages() to
pagetable_alloc_noprof(), which might return a compound page in case
the allocation order is larger than 0.
On x86 this will be the case if CONFIG_MITIGATION_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION
is set, even if PTI has been disabled at runtime.
When running as a Xen PV guest (this will always disable PTI), using
a compound page for a PGD will result in VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS being
triggered when the Xen code tries to pin the PGD.
Fix the Xen issue together with the not needed 8k allocation for a
PGD with PTI disabled by replacing PGD_ALLOCATION_ORDER with an
inline helper returning the needed order for PGD allocations.

Old microcode is bad for users and for kernel developers.
For users, it exposes them to known fixed security and/or functional
issues. These obviously rarely result in instant dumpster fires in
every environment. But it is as important to keep your microcode up
to date as it is to keep your kernel up to date.
Old microcode also makes kernels harder to debug. A developer looking
at an oops need to consider kernel bugs, known CPU issues and unknown
CPU issues as possible causes. If they know the microcode is up to
date, they can mostly eliminate known CPU issues as the cause.
Make it easier to tell if CPU microcode is out of date. Add a list
of released microcode. If the loaded microcode is older than the
release, tell users in a place that folks can find it:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/old_microcode
Tell kernel kernel developers about it with the existing taint
flag:
TAINT_CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC
== Discussion ==
When a user reports a potential kernel issue, it is very common
to ask them to reproduce the issue on mainline. Running mainline,
they will (independently from the distro) acquire a more up-to-date
microcode version list. If their microcode is old, they will
get a warning about the taint and kernel developers can take that
into consideration when debugging.
Just like any other entry in "vulnerabilities/", users are free to
make their own assessment of their exposure.
== Microcode Revision Discussion ==
The microcode versions in the table were generated from the Intel
microcode git repo:
8ac9378a8487 ("microcode-20241112 Release")
which as of this writing lags behind the latest microcode-20250211.
It can be argued that the versions that the kernel picks to call "old"
should be a revision or two old. Which specific version is picked is
less important to me than picking *a* version and enforcing it.
This repository contains only microcode versions that Intel has deemed
to be OS-loadable. It is quite possible that the BIOS has loaded a
newer microcode than the latest in this repo. If this happens, the
system is considered to have new microcode, not old.
Specifically, the sysfs file and taint flag answer the question:
Is the CPU running on the latest OS-loadable microcode,
or something even later that the BIOS loaded?
In other words, Intel never publishes an authoritative list of CPUs
and latest microcode revisions. Until it does, this is the best that
Linux can do.
Also note that the "intel-ucode-defs.h" file is simple, ugly and
has lots of magic numbers. That's on purpose and should allow a
single file to be shared across lots of stable kernel regardless of if
they have the new "VFM" infrastructure or not. It was generated with
a dumb script.
== FAQ ==
Q: Does this tell me if my system is secure or insecure?
A: No. It only tells you if your microcode was old when the
system booted.
Q: Should the kernel warn if the microcode list itself is too old?
A: No. New kernels will get new microcode lists, both mainline
and stable. The only way to have an old list is to be running
an old kernel in which case you have bigger problems.
Q: Is this for security or functional issues?
A: Both.
Q: If a given microcode update only has functional problems but
no security issues, will it be considered old?
A: Yes. All microcode image versions within a microcode release
are treated identically. Intel appears to make security
updates without disclosing them in the release notes. Thus,
all updates are considered to be security-relevant.
Q: Who runs old microcode?
A: Anybody with an old distro. This happens all the time inside
of Intel where there are lots of weird systems in labs that
might not be getting regular distro updates and might also
be running rather exotic microcode images.
Q: If I update my microcode after booting will it stop saying
"Vulnerable"?
A: No. Just like all the other vulnerabilies, you need to
reboot before the kernel will reassess your vulnerability.

Minimum version of binutils required to compile the kernel is 2.25.
This version correctly handles the "rep" prefixes, so it is possible
to remove the semicolon, which was used to support ancient versions
of GNU as.
Due to the semicolon, the compiler considers "rep; insn" (or its
alternate "rep\n\tinsn" form) as two separate instructions. Removing
the semicolon makes asm length calculations more accurate, consequently
making scheduling and inlining decisions of the compiler more accurate.
Removing the semicolon also enables assembler checks involving "rep"
prefixes. Trying to assemble e.g. "rep addl %eax, %ebx" results in:

Each mm_struct has its own copy of the page tables. When core mm code
makes changes to a copy of the page tables those changes sometimes
need to be synchronized with other mms' copies of the page tables. But
when this synchronization actually needs to happen is highly
architecture and configuration specific.
In cases where kernel PMDs are shared across processes
(SHARED_KERNEL_PMD) the core mm does not itself need to do that
synchronization for kernel PMD changes. The x86 code communicates
this by clearing the PGTBL_PMD_MODIFIED bit cleared in those
configs to avoid expensive synchronization.
The kernel is moving toward never sharing kernel PMDs on 32-bit.
Prepare for that and make 32-bit PAE always set PGTBL_PMD_MODIFIED,
even if there is no modification to synchronize. This obviously adds
some synchronization overhead in cases where the kernel page tables
are being changed.

Whack this thing because:
- the "unknown" handling is done only for this vuln and not for the
others
- it doesn't do anything besides reporting things differently. It
doesn't apply any mitigations - it is simply causing unnecessary
complications to the code which don't bring anything besides
maintenance overhead to what is already a very nasty spaghetti pile
- all the currently unaffected CPUs can also be in "unknown" status so
there's no need for special handling here
so get rid of it.

init_task's FPU state initialization was a bit of a hack:
__x86_init_fpu_begin = .;
. = __x86_init_fpu_begin + 128*PAGE_SIZE;
__x86_init_fpu_end = .;
But the init task isn't supposed to be using the FPU context
in any case, so remove the hack and add in some debug warnings.
As Linus noted in the discussion, the init task (and other
PF_KTHREAD tasks) *can* use the FPU via kernel_fpu_begin()/_end(),
but they don't need the context area because their FPU use is not
preemptible or reentrant, and they don't return to user-space.

As suggested by Oleg, remove the thread::fpu pointer, as we can
calculate it via x86_task_fpu() at compile-time.

Turn thread.fpu into a pointer. Since most FPU code internals work by passing
around the FPU pointer already, the code generation impact is small.
This allows us to remove the old kludge of task_struct being variable size:
struct task_struct {
...
/*
* New fields for task_struct should be added above here, so that
* they are included in the randomized portion of task_struct.
*/
randomized_struct_fields_end
/* CPU-specific state of this task: */
struct thread_struct thread;
/*
* WARNING: on x86, 'thread_struct' contains a variable-sized
* structure. It *MUST* be at the end of 'task_struct'.
*
* Do not put anything below here!
*/
};
... which creates a number of problems, such as requiring thread_struct to be
the last member of the struct - not allowing it to be struct-randomized, etc.
But the primary motivation is to allow the decoupling of task_struct from
hardware details (<asm/processor.h> in particular), and to eventually allow
the per-task infrastructure:
DECLARE_PER_TASK(type, name);
...
per_task(current, name) = val;
... which requires task_struct to be a constant size struct.
The fpu_thread_struct_whitelist() quirk to hardened usercopy can be removed,
now that the FPU structure is not embedded in the task struct anymore, which
reduces text footprint a bit.

next to task_struct, currently in a variable-size
array via task_struct::thread.fpu[], but we plan to
fully hide it from the C type scope.
Introduce the x86_task_fpu() accessor that gets to the

Since objtool's inception, frame pointer warnings have been manually
silenced for __arch_hweight*() to allow those functions' inline asm to
avoid using ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT.
The potentially dubious reasoning for that decision over nine years ago
was that since !X86_FEATURE_POPCNT is exceedingly rare, it's not worth
hurting the code layout for a function call that will never happen on
the vast majority of systems.
However, those functions actually started using ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT with
the following commit:
194a613088 ("x86/hweight: Use ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT in inline asm()")
And rightfully so, as it makes the code correct. ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT
will soon have no effect for non-FP configs anyway.
With ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT in place, ANNOTATE_IGNORE_ALTERNATIVE no longer
has a purpose for the hweight functions. Remove it.

Prepare for splitting off parts of the SEV core.c source file into a
file that carries code that must tolerate being called from the early
1:1 mapping. This will allow special build-time handling of thise code,
to ensure that it gets generated in a way that is compatible with the
early execution context.
So create a de-facto internal SEV API and put the definitions into
sev-internal.h. No attempt is made to allow this header file to be
included in arbitrary other sources - this is explicitly not the intent.

RIP_REL_REF() is used in non-PIC C code that is called very early,
before the kernel virtual mapping is up, which is the mapping that the
linker expects. It is currently used in two different ways:
- to refer to the value of a global variable, including as an lvalue in
assignments;
- to take the address of a global variable via the mapping that the code
currently executes at.
The former case is only needed in non-PIC code, as PIC code will never
use absolute symbol references when the address of the symbol is not
being used. But taking the address of a variable in PIC code may still
require extra care, as a stack allocated struct assignment may be
emitted as a memcpy() from a statically allocated copy in .rodata.
For instance, this
void startup_64_setup_gdt_idt(void)
{
struct desc_ptr startup_gdt_descr = {
.address = (__force unsigned long)gdt_page.gdt,
.size = GDT_SIZE - 1,
};
may result in an absolute symbol reference in PIC code, even though the
struct is allocated on the stack and populated at runtime.
To address this case, make rip_rel_ptr() accessible in PIC code, and
update any existing uses where the address of a global variable is
taken using RIP_REL_REF.
Once all code of this nature has been moved into arch/x86/boot/startup
and built with -fPIC, RIP_REL_REF() can be retired, and only
rip_rel_ptr() will remain.

This supports the same 32-bit MMIO-mapped 8250 as the early_printk code.
It's not clear why the early_printk code supports this form and only this
form; the actual runtime 8250_pci doesn't seem to support it. But having
hacked up QEMU to expose such a device, early_printk does work with it,
and now so does the kexec debug code.

There are 4 wariants of initmem_init(), for 32 and 64 bits and for
CONFIG_NUMA enabled and disabled.
After commit bbeb69ce30 ("x86/mm: Remove CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G support")
NUMA is not supported on 32 bit kernels anymore, and
arch/x86/mm/numa_32.c can be just deleted and setup_bootmem_allocator()
with completely misleading name can be folded into initmem_init().
For 64 bits the NUMA variant calls x86_numa_init() and !NUMA variant
sets all memory to node 0. The later can be split out into inline helper
called x86_numa_init() and then both initmem_init() functions become the
same.
Split out memblock_set_node() from initmem_init() for !NUMA on 64 bit
into x86_numa_init() helper and remove arch/x86/mm/numa_*.c that only
contained initmem_init() variants for NUMA configs.

This works around what seems to be an optimization bug in GCC (at least
13.3.0), where it predicts access_ok() to fail despite the hint to the
contrary.
_copy_to_user() contains:
if (access_ok(to, n)) {
instrument_copy_to_user(to, from, n);
n = raw_copy_to_user(to, from, n);
}
Where access_ok() is likely(__access_ok(addr, size)), yet the compiler
emits conditional jumps forward for the case where it succeeds:
<+0>: endbr64
<+4>: mov %rdx,%rcx
<+7>: mov %rdx,%rax
<+10>: xor %edx,%edx
<+12>: add %rdi,%rcx
<+15>: setb %dl
<+18>: movabs $0x123456789abcdef,%r8
<+28>: test %rdx,%rdx
<+31>: jne 0xffffffff81b3b7c6 <_copy_to_user+38>
<+33>: cmp %rcx,%r8
<+36>: jae 0xffffffff81b3b7cb <_copy_to_user+43>
<+38>: jmp 0xffffffff822673e0 <__x86_return_thunk>
<+43>: nop
<+44>: nop
<+45>: nop
<+46>: mov %rax,%rcx
<+49>: rep movsb %ds:(%rsi),%es:(%rdi)
<+51>: nop
<+52>: nop
<+53>: nop
<+54>: mov %rcx,%rax
<+57>: nop
<+58>: nop
<+59>: nop
<+60>: jmp 0xffffffff822673e0 <__x86_return_thunk>
Patching _copy_to_user() to likely() around the access_ok() use does
not change the asm.
However, spelling out the prediction *within* valid_user_address() does the
trick:
<+0>: endbr64
<+4>: xor %eax,%eax
<+6>: mov %rdx,%rcx
<+9>: add %rdi,%rdx
<+12>: setb %al
<+15>: movabs $0x123456789abcdef,%r8
<+25>: test %rax,%rax
<+28>: jne 0xffffffff81b315e6 <_copy_to_user+54>
<+30>: cmp %rdx,%r8
<+33>: jb 0xffffffff81b315e6 <_copy_to_user+54>
<+35>: nop
<+36>: nop
<+37>: nop
<+38>: rep movsb %ds:(%rsi),%es:(%rdi)
<+40>: nop
<+41>: nop
<+42>: nop
<+43>: nop
<+44>: nop
<+45>: nop
<+46>: mov %rcx,%rax
<+49>: jmp 0xffffffff82255ba0 <__x86_return_thunk>
<+54>: mov %rcx,%rax
<+57>: jmp 0xffffffff82255ba0 <__x86_return_thunk>
Since we kinda expect valid_user_address() to be likely anyway,
add the likely() annotation that also happens to work around
this compiler bug.

IBPB is expected to clear the RSB. However, if X86_BUG_IBPB_NO_RET is
set, that doesn't happen. Make indirect_branch_prediction_barrier()
take that into account by calling write_ibpb() which clears RSB on
X86_BUG_IBPB_NO_RET:
/* Make sure IBPB clears return stack preductions too. */
FILL_RETURN_BUFFER %rax, RSB_CLEAR_LOOPS, X86_BUG_IBPB_NO_RET
Note that, as of the previous patch, write_ibpb() also reads
'x86_pred_cmd' in order to use SBPB when applicable:
movl _ASM_RIP(x86_pred_cmd), %eax
Therefore that existing behavior in indirect_branch_prediction_barrier()
is not lost.

The relative rates among two or more events are useful for performance
analysis, e.g., a high branch miss rate may indicate a performance
issue. Usually, the samples with a relative rate that exceeds some
threshold are more useful. However, the traditional sampling takes
samples of events separately. To get the relative rates among two or
more events, a high sample rate is required, which can bring high
overhead. Many samples taken in the non-hotspot area are also dropped
(useless) in the post-process.
The auto counter reload (ACR) feature takes samples when the relative
rate of two or more events exceeds some threshold, which provides the
fine-grained information at a low cost.
To support the feature, two sets of MSRs are introduced. For a given
counter IA32_PMC_GPn_CTR/IA32_PMC_FXm_CTR, bit fields in the
IA32_PMC_GPn_CFG_B/IA32_PMC_FXm_CFG_B MSR indicate which counter(s)
can cause a reload of that counter. The reload value is stored in the
IA32_PMC_GPn_CFG_C/IA32_PMC_FXm_CFG_C.
The details can be found at Intel SDM (085), Volume 3, 21.9.11 Auto
Counter Reload.
In the hw_config(), an ACR event is specially configured, because the
cause/reloadable counter mask has to be applied to the dyn_constraint.
Besides the HW limit, e.g., not support perf metrics, PDist and etc, a
SW limit is applied as well. ACR events in a group must be contiguous.
It facilitates the later conversion from the event idx to the counter
idx. Otherwise, the intel_pmu_acr_late_setup() has to traverse the whole
event list again to find the "cause" event.
Also, add a new flag PERF_X86_EVENT_ACR to indicate an ACR group, which
is set to the group leader.
The late setup() is also required for an ACR group. It's to convert the
event idx to the counter idx, and saved it in hw.config1.
The ACR configuration MSRs are only updated in the enable_event().
The disable_event() doesn't clear the ACR CFG register.
Add acr_cfg_b/acr_cfg_c in the struct cpu_hw_events to cache the MSR
values. It can avoid a MSR write if the value is not changed.
Expose an acr_mask to the sysfs. The perf tool can utilize the new
format to configure the relation of events in the group. The bit
sequence of the acr_mask follows the events enabled order of the group.
Example:
Here is the snippet of the mispredict.c. Since the array has a random
numbers, jumps are random and often mispredicted.
The mispredicted rate depends on the compared value.
For the Loop1, ~11% of all branches are mispredicted.
For the Loop2, ~21% of all branches are mispredicted.
main()
{
...
for (i = 0; i < N; i++)
data[i] = rand() % 256;
...
/* Loop 1 */
for (k = 0; k < 50; k++)
for (i = 0; i < N; i++)
if (data[i] >= 64)
sum += data[i];
...
...
/* Loop 2 */
for (k = 0; k < 50; k++)
for (i = 0; i < N; i++)
if (data[i] >= 128)
sum += data[i];
...
}
Usually, a code with a high branch miss rate means a bad performance.
To understand the branch miss rate of the codes, the traditional method
usually samples both branches and branch-misses events. E.g.,
perf record -e "{cpu_atom/branch-misses/ppu, cpu_atom/branch-instructions/u}"
-c 1000000 -- ./mispredict
[ perf record: Woken up 4 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.925 MB perf.data (5106 samples) ]
The 5106 samples are from both events and spread in both Loops.
In the post-process stage, a user can know that the Loop 2 has a 21%
branch miss rate. Then they can focus on the samples of branch-misses
events for the Loop 2.
With this patch, the user can generate the samples only when the branch
miss rate > 20%. For example,
perf record -e "{cpu_atom/branch-misses,period=200000,acr_mask=0x2/ppu,
cpu_atom/branch-instructions,period=1000000,acr_mask=0x3/u}"
-- ./mispredict
(Two different periods are applied to branch-misses and
branch-instructions. The ratio is set to 20%.
If the branch-instructions is overflowed first, the branch-miss
rate < 20%. No samples should be generated. All counters should be
automatically reloaded.
If the branch-misses is overflowed first, the branch-miss rate > 20%.
A sample triggered by the branch-misses event should be
generated. Just the counter of the branch-instructions should be
automatically reloaded.
The branch-misses event should only be automatically reloaded when

The counters that support the auto counter reload feature can be
enumerated in the CPUID Leaf 0x23 sub-leaf 0x2.
Add acr_cntr_mask to store the mask of counters which are reloadable.
Add acr_cause_mask to store the mask of counters which can cause reload.
Since the e-core and p-core may have different numbers of counters,
track the masks in the struct x86_hybrid_pmu as well.

This large commit contains the initial support for TDX in KVM. All x86
parts enable the host-side hypercalls that KVM uses to talk to the TDX
module, a software component that runs in a special CPU mode called SEAM
(Secure Arbitration Mode).
The series is in turn split into multiple sub-series, each with a separate
merge commit:
- Initialization: basic setup for using the TDX module from KVM, plus
ioctls to create TDX VMs and vCPUs.
- MMU: in TDX, private and shared halves of the address space are mapped by
different EPT roots, and the private half is managed by the TDX module.
Using the support that was added to the generic MMU code in 6.14,
add support for TDX's secure page tables to the Intel side of KVM.
Generic KVM code takes care of maintaining a mirror of the secure page
tables so that they can be queried efficiently, and ensuring that changes
are applied to both the mirror and the secure EPT.
- vCPU enter/exit: implement the callbacks that handle the entry of a TDX
vCPU (via the SEAMCALL TDH.VP.ENTER) and the corresponding save/restore
of host state.
- Userspace exits: introduce support for guest TDVMCALLs that KVM forwards to
userspace. These correspond to the usual KVM_EXIT_* "heavyweight vmexits"
but are triggered through a different mechanism, similar to VMGEXIT for
SEV-ES and SEV-SNP.
- Interrupt handling: support for virtual interrupt injection as well as
handling VM-Exits that are caused by vectored events. Exclusive to
TDX are machine-check SMIs, which the kernel already knows how to
handle through the kernel machine check handler (commit 7911f145de,
"x86/mce: Implement recovery for errors in TDX/SEAM non-root mode")
- Loose ends: handling of the remaining exits from the TDX module, including
EPT violation/misconfig and several TDVMCALL leaves that are handled in
the kernel (CPUID, HLT, RDMSR/WRMSR, GetTdVmCallInfo); plus returning
an error or ignoring operations that are not supported by TDX guests

LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR is calculated as an aligned (up) CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START
with the respective alignment value CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN. However,
the code is written openly while we have __ALIGN_KERNEL_MASK() macro
that does the same. This macro has nothing special, that's why
it may be used in assembler code or linker scripts (on the contrary
__ALIGN_KERNEL() may not). Do it so.

check is omitted from production builds, and more importantly to remove
the atomic accesses to account pages. A one-off memory leak in production
is relatively uninteresting, and a WARN_ON won't help mitigate a systemic
issue; it's as much about helping triage memory leaks as it is about
detecting them in the first place, and doesn't magically stop the leaks.
I.e. production environments will be quite sad if a severe KVM bug escapes,
regardless of whether or not KVM WARNs.

There is not much point in CONFIG_AS_TPAUSE at all when the emitted
assembly is always the same - it only obfuscates the __tpause() code
in essence.
Remove the TPAUSE insn mnemonic from __tpause() and leave only
the equivalent byte-wise definition. This can then be changed
back to insn mnemonic once binutils 2.31.1 is the minimum version
to build the kernel. (Right now it's 2.25.)

Delimiters in asm() templates such as ';', '\t' or '\n' are not
required syntactically, they were used historically in the Linux
kernel to prettify the compiler's .s output for people who were
looking at compiler generated .s output.
Most x86 developers these days are primarily looking at:
1) objdump --disassemble-all .o
2) perf top's live kernel function annotation and disassembler
feature that uses /dev/mem.
... because:
- this kind of assembler output is standardized regardless of
compiler used,
- it's generally less messy looking,
- it gives ground-truth instead of being some intermediate layer
in the toolchain that might or might not be the real deal,
- and on a live kernel it also sees through the kernel's various
layers of runtime patching code obfuscation facilities, also
known as: alternative-instructions, tracepoints and jump labels.
There are some cases where the .s output is the most useful
tool, such as alternatives() code generation, but other than
that these delimiters used in simple asm() statements mostly
add noise to the source code side, which isn't desirable for
assembly code that is fragile enough already.
Remove the delimiters for <asm/mwait.h>, which also happens to
make the GCC inliner's asm() instruction length heuristics
more accurate...

The following commit, 12 years ago:
7e98b71920 ("x86, idle: Use static_cpu_has() for CLFLUSH workaround, add barriers")
added barriers around the CLFLUSH in mwait_idle_with_hints(), justified with:
... and add memory barriers around it since the documentation is explicit
that CLFLUSH is only ordered with respect to MFENCE.
This also triggered, 11 years ago, the same adjustment in:
f8e617f458 ("sched/idle/x86: Optimize unnecessary mwait_idle() resched IPIs")
during development, although it failed to get the static_cpu_has_bug() treatment.
X86_BUG_CLFLUSH_MONITOR (a.k.a the AAI65 errata) is specific to Intel CPUs,
and the SDM currently states:
Executions of the CLFLUSH instruction are ordered with respect to each
other and with respect to writes, locked read-modify-write instructions,
and fence instructions[1].
With footnote 1 reading:
Earlier versions of this manual specified that executions of the CLFLUSH
instruction were ordered only by the MFENCE instruction. All processors
implementing the CLFLUSH instruction also order it relative to the other
operations enumerated above.
i.e. The SDM was incorrect at the time, and barriers should not have been
inserted. Double checking the original AAI65 errata (not available from
intel.com any more) shows no mention of barriers either.
Note: If this were a general codepath, the MFENCEs would be needed, because
AMD CPUs of the same vintage do sport otherwise-unordered CLFLUSHs.
Remove the unnecessary barriers. Furthermore, use a plain alternative(),
rather than static_cpu_has_bug() and/or no optimisation. The workaround
is a single instruction.
Use an explicit %rax pointer rather than a general memory operand, because
MONITOR takes the pointer implicitly in the same way.

"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
handled, the current handling is slow and buggy and the easiest thing
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"

However, the interface for registering and unregistering such handlers
is not clearly documented. In the future, the interface may need to be
extended to identify the source of the NMI.
Add documentation to make the current API more understandable and easier
to use.

Commit:
c305a4e983 ("x86: Move sysctls into arch/x86")
recently moved the sysctl handling of panic_on_unrecovered_nmi and
panic_on_io_nmi to x86-specific code. These variables no longer need to
be declared in the generic header file.
Relocate the variable definitions and declarations closer to where they
are used. This makes all the NMI panic options consistent and easier to
track.

The unknown_nmi_panic variable is used to control whether the kernel
should panic on unknown NMIs. There is a sysctl entry under:
/proc/sys/kernel/unknown_nmi_panic
which can be used to change the behavior at runtime.
However, it seems that in some places, the option unnecessarily depends
on CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC. Other code in nmi.c uses unknown_nmi_panic
without such a dependency. This results in a few messy #ifdefs
splattered across the code. The dependency was likely introduce due to a
potential build bug reported a long time ago:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/40BC67F9.3000609@myrealbox.com/
This build bug no longer exists.
Also, similar NMI panic options, such as panic_on_unrecovered_nmi and
panic_on_io_nmi, do not have an explicit dependency on the local APIC
either.
Though, it's hard to imagine a production system without the local APIC
configuration, making a specific NMI sysctl option dependent on it
doesn't make sense.
Remove the explicit dependency between unknown NMI handling and the
local APIC to make the code cleaner and more consistent.
While at it, reorder the header includes to maintain alphabetical order.

Uros Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide
compile-time checking of percpu area accesses.
This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were
reported. In all cases the calling code was founf to be incorrect.
- The 4 patch series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong
implements some relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code.
- The 17 patch series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)"
from David Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then
using device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is
needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now succeed.
- The 2 patch series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry
Ahmed remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been
deprecated for half a year and nobody has complained.
- The 5 patch series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from
Lorenzo Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No
runtime effects are anticipated.
- The 4 patch series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations
from process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in
the madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed
in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark.
- The 12 patch series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code"
from Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan
noticed when working on the swap code.
- The 2 patch series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin
Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak user-visible
output.
- The 2 patch series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and
schemes handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's
handling of large folios.
- The 3 patch series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless
damos_walk() behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the
accuracy of kdamond's walking of DAMON regions.
- The 3 patch series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from
Lorenzo Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io
and core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is
preparatory work for the future removal of page structure fields.
- The 4 patch series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS
filter" from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering
by huge page sizes.
- The 4 patch series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem
mappings" from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its
present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and
file-backed mappings.
- The 4 patch series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during
reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping for
pte-mapped large folios.
- The 18 patch series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from
Suren Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for
pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more
messy. This patchset provides small (0-10%) improvements on one
microbenchmark.
- The 5 patch series "Docs/mm/damon: misc DAMOS filters documentation
fixes and improves" from SeongJae Park does some maintenance work on the
DAMON docs.
- The 27 patch series "hugetlb/CMA improvements for large systems" from
Frank van der Linden addresses a pile of issues which have been observed

Senozhatsky teaches zram to run its compression and decompression
operations preemptibly.

them" from Brendan Jackman fixes a pile of unrelated issues which
Brendan encountered while runnimg our selftests.
- The 2 patch series "fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap"
from Lorenzo Stoakes permits userspace to use /proc/pid/pagemap to
determine whether a particular page is a guard page.
- The 7 patch series "mm, swap: remove swap slot cache" from Kairui Song

how many threads should be used to allocate huge pages" from Thomas
Prescher does that. It allows the careful operator to significantly
reduce boot time by tuning the parallalization of huge page
initialization.

for cgwb" from Tang Yizhou fixes the tracing output from the dirty page
balancing code.

Pull bpf relisient spinlock support from Alexei Starovoitov:
"This patch set introduces Resilient Queued Spin Lock (or rqspinlock
with res_spin_lock() and res_spin_unlock() APIs).
This is a qspinlock variant which recovers the kernel from a stalled
state when the lock acquisition path cannot make forward progress.
This can occur when a lock acquisition attempt enters a deadlock
situation (e.g. AA, or ABBA), or more generally, when the owner of the
lock (which we’re trying to acquire) isn’t making forward progress.
Deadlock detection is the main mechanism used to provide instant
recovery, with the timeout mechanism acting as a final line of
defense. Detection is triggered immediately when beginning the waiting
loop of a lock slow path.
Additionally, BPF programs attached to different parts of the kernel
can introduce new control flow into the kernel, which increases the
likelihood of deadlocks in code not written to handle reentrancy.
There have been multiple syzbot reports surfacing deadlocks in
internal kernel code due to the diverse ways in which BPF programs can
be attached to different parts of the kernel. By switching the BPF
subsystem’s lock usage to rqspinlock, all of these issues are
mitigated at runtime.
This spin lock implementation allows BPF maps to become safer and
remove mechanisms that have fallen short in assuring safety when
nesting programs in arbitrary ways in the same context or across
different contexts.
We run benchmarks that stress locking scalability and perform
comparison against the baseline (qspinlock). For the rqspinlock case,
we replace the default qspinlock with it in the kernel, such that all
spin locks in the kernel use the rqspinlock slow path. As such,
benchmarks that stress kernel spin locks end up exercising rqspinlock.

'resilient-queued-spin-lock'")"

Direct HLT instruction execution causes #VEs for TDX VMs which is routed
to hypervisor via TDCALL. If HLT is executed in STI-shadow, resulting #VE
handler will enable interrupts before TDCALL is routed to hypervisor
leading to missed wakeup events, as current TDX spec doesn't expose
interruptibility state information to allow #VE handler to selectively
enable interrupts.
Commit bfe6ed0c67 ("x86/tdx: Add HLT support for TDX guests")
prevented the idle routines from executing HLT instruction in STI-shadow.
But it missed the paravirt routine which can be reached via this path
as an example:
kvm_wait() =>
safe_halt() =>
raw_safe_halt() =>
arch_safe_halt() =>
irq.safe_halt() =>
pv_native_safe_halt()
To reliably handle arch_safe_halt() for TDX VMs, introduce explicit
dependency on CONFIG_PARAVIRT and override paravirt halt()/safe_halt()
routines with TDX-safe versions that execute direct TDCALL and needed
interrupt flag updates. Executing direct TDCALL brings in additional
benefit of avoiding HLT related #VEs altogether.
As tested by Ryan Afranji:
"Tested with the specjbb2015 benchmark. It has heavy lock contention which leads
to many halt calls. TDX VMs suffered a poor score before this patchset.
Verified the major performance improvement with this patchset applied."

CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL is mainly defined/used by XEN PV guests. For
other VM guest types, features supported under CONFIG_PARAVIRT
are self sufficient. CONFIG_PARAVIRT mainly provides support for
TLB flush operations and time related operations.
For TDX guest as well, paravirt calls under CONFIG_PARVIRT meets
most of its requirement except the need of HLT and SAFE_HLT
paravirt calls, which is currently defined under
CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL.
Since enabling CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL is too bloated for TDX guest
like platforms, move HLT and SAFE_HLT paravirt calls under
CONFIG_PARAVIRT.
Moving HLT and SAFE_HLT paravirt calls are not fatal and should not
break any functionality for current users of CONFIG_PARAVIRT.

Another set of improvements to the kernel's CRC (cyclic redundancy
check) code:
- Rework the CRC64 library functions to be directly optimized, like what
I did last cycle for the CRC32 and CRC-T10DIF library functions.
- Rewrite the x86 PCLMULQDQ-optimized CRC code, and add VPCLMULQDQ
support and acceleration for crc64_be and crc64_nvme.
- Rewrite the riscv Zbc-optimized CRC code, and add acceleration for
crc_t10dif, crc64_be, and crc64_nvme.
- Remove crc_t10dif and crc64_rocksoft from the crypto API, since they
are no longer needed there.
- Rename crc64_rocksoft to crc64_nvme, as the old name was incorrect.
- Add kunit test cases for crc64_nvme and crc7.
- Eliminate redundant functions for calculating the Castagnoli CRC32,
settling on just crc32c().
- Remove unnecessary prompts from some of the CRC kconfig options.
- Further optimize the x86 crc32c code.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"These are dominated by cpufreq updates which in turn are dominated by
updates related to boost support in the core and drivers and
amd-pstate driver optimizations.
Apart from the above, there are some cpuidle updates including a
rework of the most recent idle intervals handling in the venerable
menu governor that leads to significant improvements in some
performance benchmarks, as the governor is now more likely to predict
a shorter idle duration in some cases, and there are updates of the
core device power management code, mostly related to system suspend
and resume, that should help to avoid potential issues arising when
the drivers of devices depending on one another want to use different
optimizations.

including removal of some unused code.

* Nested virtualization support for VGICv3, giving the nested
hypervisor control of the VGIC hardware when running an L2 VM
* Removal of 'late' nested virtualization feature register masking,
making the supported feature set directly visible to userspace
* Support for emulating FEAT_PMUv3 on Apple silicon, taking advantage
of an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED trap that covers all PMUv3 registers
* Paravirtual interface for discovering the set of CPU implementations
where a VM may run, addressing a longstanding issue of guest CPU
errata awareness in big-little systems and cross-implementation VM
migration
* Userspace control of the registers responsible for identifying a
particular CPU implementation (MIDR_EL1, REVIDR_EL1, AIDR_EL1),
allowing VMs to be migrated cross-implementation
* pKVM updates, including support for tracking stage-2 page table
allocations in the protected hypervisor in the 'SecPageTable' stat
* Fixes to vPMU, ensuring that userspace updates to the vPMU after
KVM_RUN are reflected into the backing perf events
LoongArch:
* Remove unnecessary header include path
* Assume constant PGD during VM context switch
* Add perf events support for guest VM
RISC-V:
* Disable the kernel perf counter during configure
* KVM selftests improvements for PMU
* Fix warning at the time of KVM module removal
x86:
* Add support for aging of SPTEs without holding mmu_lock. Not taking mmu_lock
allows multiple aging actions to run in parallel, and more importantly avoids
stalling vCPUs. This includes an implementation of per-rmap-entry locking;
aging the gfn is done with only a per-rmap single-bin spinlock taken, whereas
locking an rmap for write requires taking both the per-rmap spinlock and
the mmu_lock.
Note that this decreases slightly the accuracy of accessed-page information,
because changes to the SPTE outside aging might not use atomic operations
even if they could race against a clear of the Accessed bit. This is
deliberate because KVM and mm/ tolerate false positives/negatives for
accessed information, and testing has shown that reducing the latency of
aging is far more beneficial to overall system performance than providing
"perfect" young/old information.
* Defer runtime CPUID updates until KVM emulates a CPUID instruction, to
coalesce updates when multiple pieces of vCPU state are changing, e.g. as
part of a nested transition.
* Fix a variety of nested emulation bugs, and add VMX support for synthesizing
nested VM-Exit on interception (instead of injecting #UD into L2).
* Drop "support" for async page faults for protected guests that do not set
SEND_ALWAYS (i.e. that only want async page faults at CPL3)
* Bring a bit of sanity to x86's VM teardown code, which has accumulated
a lot of cruft over the years. Particularly, destroy vCPUs before
the MMU, despite the latter being a VM-wide operation.
* Add common secure TSC infrastructure for use within SNP and in the
future TDX
* Block KVM_CAP_SYNC_REGS if guest state is protected. It does not make
sense to use the capability if the relevant registers are not
available for reading or writing.
* Don't take kvm->lock when iterating over vCPUs in the suspend notifier to
fix a largely theoretical deadlock.
* Use the vCPU's actual Xen PV clock information when starting the Xen timer,
as the cached state in arch.hv_clock can be stale/bogus.
* Fix a bug where KVM could bleed PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED across different
PV clocks; restrict PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED to kvmclock, as KVM's suspend
notifier only accounts for kvmclock, and there's no evidence that the
flag is actually supported by Xen guests.
* Clean up the per-vCPU "cache" of its reference pvclock, and instead only
track the vCPU's TSC scaling (multipler+shift) metadata (which is moderately
expensive to compute, and rarely changes for modern setups).
* Don't write to the Xen hypercall page on MSR writes that are initiated by
the host (userspace or KVM) to fix a class of bugs where KVM can write to
guest memory at unexpected times, e.g. during vCPU creation if userspace has
set the Xen hypercall MSR index to collide with an MSR that KVM emulates.
* Restrict the Xen hypercall MSR index to the unofficial synthetic range to
reduce the set of possible collisions with MSRs that are emulated by KVM
(collisions can still happen as KVM emulates Hyper-V MSRs, which also reside
in the synthetic range).
* Clean up and optimize KVM's handling of Xen MSR writes and xen_hvm_config.
* Update Xen TSC leaves during CPUID emulation instead of modifying the CPUID
entries when updating PV clocks; there is no guarantee PV clocks will be
updated between TSC frequency changes and CPUID emulation, and guest reads
of the TSC leaves should be rare, i.e. are not a hot path.
x86 (Intel):
* Fix a bug where KVM unnecessarily reads XFD_ERR from hardware and thus
modifies the vCPU's XFD_ERR on a #NM due to CR0.TS=1.
* Pass XFD_ERR as the payload when injecting #NM, as a preparatory step
for upcoming FRED virtualization support.
* Decouple the EPT entry RWX protection bit macros from the EPT Violation
bits, both as a general cleanup and in anticipation of adding support for
emulating Mode-Based Execution Control (MBEC).
* Reject KVM_RUN if userspace manages to gain control and stuff invalid guest
state while KVM is in the middle of emulating nested VM-Enter.
* Add a macro to handle KVM's sanity checks on entry/exit VMCS control pairs
in anticipation of adding sanity checks for secondary exit controls (the
primary field is out of bits).
x86 (AMD):
* Ensure the PSP driver is initialized when both the PSP and KVM modules are
built-in (the initcall framework doesn't handle dependencies).
* Use long-term pins when registering encrypted memory regions, so that the
pages are migrated out of MIGRATE_CMA/ZONE_MOVABLE and don't lead to
excessive fragmentation.
* Add macros and helpers for setting GHCB return/error codes.
* Add support for Idle HLT interception, which elides interception if the vCPU
has a pending, unmasked virtual IRQ when HLT is executed.
* Fix a bug in INVPCID emulation where KVM fails to check for a non-canonical
address.
* Don't attempt VMRUN for SEV-ES+ guests if the vCPU's VMSA is invalid, e.g.
because the vCPU was "destroyed" via SNP's AP Creation hypercall.
* Reject SNP AP Creation if the requested SEV features for the vCPU don't
match the VM's configured set of features.
Selftests:
* Fix again the Intel PMU counters test; add a data load and do CLFLUSH{OPT} on the data
instead of executing code. The theory is that modern Intel CPUs have
learned new code prefetching tricks that bypass the PMU counters.
* Fix a flaw in the Intel PMU counters test where it asserts that an event is
counting correctly without actually knowing what the event counts on the
underlying hardware.
* Fix a variety of flaws, bugs, and false failures/passes dirty_log_test, and
improve its coverage by collecting all dirty entries on each iteration.
* Fix a few minor bugs related to handling of stats FDs.
* Add infrastructure to make vCPU and VM stats FDs available to tests by
default (open the FDs during VM/vCPU creation).
* Relax an assertion on the number of HLT exits in the xAPIC IPI test when
running on a CPU that supports AMD's Idle HLT (which elides interception of
HLT if a virtual IRQ is pending and unmasked).

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
"Nothing major this time around.
Apart from the usual perf/PMU updates, some page table cleanups, the
notable features are average CPU frequency based on the AMUv1
counters, CONFIG_HOTPLUG_SMT and MOPS instructions (memcpy/memset) in
the uaccess routines.
Perf and PMUs:
- Support for the 'Rainier' CPU PMU from Arm
- Preparatory driver changes and cleanups that pave the way for BRBE
support
- Support for partial virtualisation of the Apple-M1 PMU
- Support for the second event filter in Arm CSPMU designs
- Minor fixes and cleanups (CMN and DWC PMUs)
- Enable EL2 requirements for FEAT_PMUv3p9
Power, CPU topology:
- Support for AMUv1-based average CPU frequency
- Run-time SMT control wired up for arm64 (CONFIG_HOTPLUG_SMT). It
adds a generic topology_is_primary_thread() function overridden by
x86 and powerpc
New(ish) features:
- MOPS (memcpy/memset) support for the uaccess routines
Security/confidential compute:
- Fix the DMA address for devices used in Realms with Arm CCA. The
CCA architecture uses the address bit to differentiate between
shared and private addresses
- Spectre-BHB: assume CPUs Linux doesn't know about vulnerable by
default
Memory management clean-ups:
- Drop the P*D_TABLE_BIT definition in preparation for 128-bit PTEs
- Some minor page table accessor clean-ups
- PIE/POE (permission indirection/overlay) helpers clean-up
Kselftests:
- MTE: skip hugetlb tests if MTE is not supported on such mappings
and user correct naming for sync/async tag checking modes
Miscellaneous:
- Add a PKEY_UNRESTRICTED definition as 0 to uapi (toolchain people
request)
- Sysreg updates for new register fields
- CPU type info for some Qualcomm Kryo cores"

- Consolidate the VDSO storage
The VDSO data storage and data layout has been largely architecture
specific for historical reasons. That increases the maintenance effort
and causes inconsistencies over and over.
There is no real technical reason for architecture specific layouts and
implementations. The architecture specific details can easily be
integrated into a generic layout, which also reduces the amount of
duplicated code for managing the mappings.
Convert all architectures over to a unified layout and common mapping
infrastructure. This splits the VDSO data layout into subsystem
specific blocks, timekeeping, random and architecture parts, which
provides a better structure and allows to improve and update the
functionalities without conflict and interaction.
- Rework the timekeeping data storage
The current implementation is designed for exposing system timekeeping
accessors, which was good enough at the time when it was designed.
PTP and Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) change that as there are
requirements to expose independent PTP clocks, which are not related to
system timekeeping.
Replace the monolithic data storage by a structured layout, which
allows to add support for independent PTP clocks on top while reusing
both the data structures and the time accessor implementations.

CPUID leaf 0x2 output is a stream of one-byte descriptors, each implying
certain details about the CPU's cache and TLB entries.
At previous commits, the mapping tables for such descriptors were merged
into one consolidated table. The mapping was also transformed into a
hash lookup instead of a loop-based lookup for each descriptor.
Use the new consolidated table and its hash-based lookup through the
for_each_leaf_0x2_tlb_entry() accessor.
Remove the TLB-specific mapping, intel_tlb_table[], as it is now no
longer used. Remove the <cpuid/types.h> macro, for_each_leaf_0x2_desc(),
since the converted code was its last user.

CPUID leaf 0x2 describes TLBs and caches. So there are two tables with the
respective descriptor constants in intel.c and cacheinfo.c. The tables
occupy almost 600 byte and require a loop based lookup for each variant.
Combining them into one table occupies exactly 1k rodata and allows to get
rid of the loop based lookup by just using the descriptor byte provided by
CPUID leaf 0x2 as index into the table, which simplifies the code and
reduces text size.
The conversion of the intel.c and cacheinfo.c code is done separately.
[ darwi: Actually define struct leaf_0x2_table.
Tab-align all of cpuid_0x2_table[] mapping entries.
Define needed SZ_* macros at <linux/sizes.h> instead (merged commit.)
Use CACHE_L1_{INST,DATA} as names for L1 cache descriptor types.
Set descriptor 0x63 type as TLB_DATA_1G_2M_4M and explain why.
Use enums for cache and TLB descriptor types (parent commits.)
Start enum types at 1 since type 0 is reserved for unknown descriptors.
Ensure that cache and TLB enum type values do not intersect.
Add leaf 0x2 table accessor for_each_leaf_0x2_entry() + documentation. ]

The leaf 0x2 one-byte TLB descriptor types:
TLB_INST_4K
TLB_INST_4M
TLB_INST_2M_4M
...
are just discriminators to be used within the intel_tlb_table[] mapping.
Their specific values are irrelevant.
Use enums for such types.
Make the enum packed and static assert that its values remain within a
single byte so that the intel_tlb_table[] size do not go out of hand.
Use a __CHECKER__ guard for the static_assert(sizeof(enum) == 1) line as
sparse ignores the __packed annotation on enums.
This is similar to:
fe3944fb24 ("fs: Move enum rw_hint into a new header file")
for the core SCSI code.

For X86_FEATURE_SMAP alternatives which replace NOP with STAC or CLAC,
uaccess validation skips the NOP branch to avoid following impossible
code paths, e.g. where a STAC would be patched but a CLAC wouldn't.
However, it's not safe to assume an X86_FEATURE_SMAP alternative is
patching STAC/CLAC. There can be other alternatives, like
static_cpu_has(), where both branches need to be validated.
Fix that by repurposing ANNOTATE_IGNORE_ALTERNATIVE for skipping either
original instructions or new ones. This is a more generic approach
which enables the removal of the feature checking hacks and the
insn->ignore bit.
Fixes the following warnings:
arch/x86/mm/fault.o: warning: objtool: do_user_addr_fault+0x8ec: __stack_chk_fail() missing __noreturn in .c/.h or NORETURN() in noreturns.h
