- The 3 patch series "mm, swap: improve cluster scan strategy" from
Kairui Song improves performance and reduces the failure rate of swap
cluster allocation.
- The 4 patch series "support large align and nid in Rust allocators"
from Vitaly Wool permits Rust allocators to set NUMA node and large
alignment when perforning slub and vmalloc reallocs.
- The 2 patch series "mm/damon/vaddr: support stat-purpose DAMOS" from
Yueyang Pan extend DAMOS_STAT's handling of the DAMON operations sets
for virtual address spaces for ops-level DAMOS filters.
- The 3 patch series "execute PROCMAP_QUERY ioctl under per-vma lock"
from Suren Baghdasaryan reduces mmap_lock contention during reads of
/proc/pid/maps.
- The 2 patch series "mm/mincore: minor clean up for swap cache
checking" from Kairui Song performs some cleanup in the swap code.
- The 11 patch series "mm: vm_normal_page*() improvements" from David
Hildenbrand provides code cleanup in the pagemap code.
- The 5 patch series "add persistent huge zero folio support" from
Pankaj Raghav provides a block layer speedup by optionalls making the
huge_zero_pagepersistent, instead of releasing it when its refcount
falls to zero.
- The 3 patch series "kho: fixes and cleanups" from Mike Rapoport adds a
few touchups to the recently added Kexec Handover feature.
- The 10 patch series "mm: make mm->flags a bitmap and 64-bit on all
arches" from Lorenzo Stoakes turns mm_struct.flags into a bitmap. To
end the constant struggle with space shortage on 32-bit conflicting with
64-bit's needs.
- The 2 patch series "mm/swapfile.c and swap.h cleanup" from Chris Li
cleans up some swap code.
- The 7 patch series "selftests/mm: Fix false positives and skip
unsupported tests" from Donet Tom fixes a few things in our selftests
code.
- The 7 patch series "prctl: extend PR_SET_THP_DISABLE to only provide
THPs when advised" from David Hildenbrand "allows individual processes
to opt-out of THP=always into THP=madvise, without affecting other
workloads on the system".
It's a long story - the [1/N] changelog spells out the considerations.
- The 11 patch series "Add and use memdesc_flags_t" from Matthew Wilcox
gets us started on the memdesc project. Please see
https://kernelnewbies.org/MatthewWilcox/Memdescs and
https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/post/introducing-memdesc.
- The 3 patch series "Tiny optimization for large read operations" from
Chi Zhiling improves the efficiency of the pagecache read path.
- The 5 patch series "Better split_huge_page_test result check" from Zi
Yan improves our folio splitting selftest code.
- The 2 patch series "test that rmap behaves as expected" from Wei Yang
adds some rmap selftests.
- The 3 patch series "remove write_cache_pages()" from Christoph Hellwig
removes that function and converts its two remaining callers.
- The 2 patch series "selftests/mm: uffd-stress fixes" from Dev Jain
fixes some UFFD selftests issues.
- The 3 patch series "introduce kernel file mapped folios" from Boris
Burkov introduces the concept of "kernel file pages". Using these
permits btrfs to account its metadata pages to the root cgroup, rather
than to the cgroups of random inappropriate tasks.
- The 2 patch series "mm/pageblock: improve readability of some
pageblock handling" from Wei Yang provides some readability improvements
to the page allocator code.
- The 11 patch series "mm/damon: support ARM32 with LPAE" from SeongJae
Park teaches DAMON to understand arm32 highmem.
- The 4 patch series "tools: testing: Use existing atomic.h for
vma/maple tests" from Brendan Jackman performs some code cleanups and
deduplication under tools/testing/.
- The 2 patch series "maple_tree: Fix testing for 32bit compiles" from
Liam Howlett fixes a couple of 32-bit issues in
tools/testing/radix-tree.c.
- The 2 patch series "kasan: unify kasan_enabled() and remove
arch-specific implementations" from Sabyrzhan Tasbolatov moves KASAN
arch-specific initialization code into a common arch-neutral
implementation.
- The 3 patch series "mm: remove zpool" from Johannes Weiner removes
zspool - an indirection layer which now only redirects to a single thing
(zsmalloc).
- The 2 patch series "mm: task_stack: Stack handling cleanups" from
Pasha Tatashin makes a couple of cleanups in the fork code.
- The 37 patch series "mm: remove nth_page()" from David Hildenbrand
makes rather a lot of adjustments at various nth_page() callsites,
eventually permitting the removal of that undesirable helper function.
- The 2 patch series "introduce kasan.write_only option in hw-tags" from
Yeoreum Yun creates a KASAN read-only mode for ARM, using that
architecture's memory tagging feature. It is felt that a read-only mode
KASAN is suitable for use in production systems rather than debug-only.
- The 3 patch series "mm: hugetlb: cleanup hugetlb folio allocation"
from Kefeng Wang does some tidying in the hugetlb folio allocation code.
- The 12 patch series "mm: establish const-correctness for pointer
parameters" from Max Kellermann makes quite a number of the MM API
functions more accurate about the constness of their arguments. This
was getting in the way of subsystems (in this case CEPH) when they
attempt to improving their own const/non-const accuracy.
- The 7 patch series "Cleanup free_pages() misuse" from Vishal Moola
fixes a number of code sites which were confused over when to use
free_pages() vs __free_pages().
- The 3 patch series "Add Rust abstraction for Maple Trees" from Alice
Ryhl makes the mapletree code accessible to Rust. Required by nouveau
and by its forthcoming successor: the new Rust Nova driver.
- The 2 patch series "selftests/mm: split_huge_page_test:
split_pte_mapped_thp improvements" from David Hildenbrand adds a fix and
some cleanups to the thp selftesting code.
- The 14 patch series "mm, swap: introduce swap table as swap cache
(phase I)" from Chris Li and Kairui Song is the first step along the
path to implementing "swap tables" - a new approach to swap allocation
and state tracking which is expected to yield speed and space
improvements. This patchset itself yields a 5-20% performance benefit
in some situations.
- The 3 patch series "Some ptdesc cleanups" from Matthew Wilcox utilizes
the new memdesc layer to clean up the ptdesc code a little.
- The 3 patch series "Fix va_high_addr_switch.sh test failure" from
Chunyu Hu fixes some issues in our 5-level pagetable selftesting code.
- The 2 patch series "Minor fixes for memory allocation profiling" from
Suren Baghdasaryan addresses a couple of minor issues in relatively new
memory allocation profiling feature.
- The 3 patch series "Small cleanups" from Matthew Wilcox has a few
cleanups in preparation for more memdesc work.
- The 2 patch series "mm/damon: add addr_unit for DAMON_LRU_SORT and
DAMON_RECLAIM" from Quanmin Yan makes some changes to DAMON in
furtherance of supporting arm highmem.
- The 2 patch series "selftests/mm: Add -Wunreachable-code and fix
warnings" from Muhammad Anjum adds that compiler check to selftests code
and fixes the fallout, by removing dead code.
- The 10 patch series "Improvements to Victim Process Thawing and OOM
Reaper Traversal Order" from zhongjinji makes a number of improvements
in the OOM killer: mainly thawing a more appropriate group of victim
threads so they can release resources.
- The 5 patch series "mm/damon: misc fixups and improvements for 6.18"
from SeongJae Park is a bunch of small and unrelated fixups for DAMON.
- The 7 patch series "mm/damon: define and use DAMON initialization
check function" from SeongJae Park implement reliability and
maintainability improvements to a recently-added bug fix.
- The 2 patch series "mm/damon/stat: expose auto-tuned intervals and
non-idle ages" from SeongJae Park provides additional transparency to
userspace clients of the DAMON_STAT information.
- The 2 patch series "Expand scope of khugepaged anonymous collapse"
from Dev Jain removes some constraints on khubepaged's collapsing of
anon VMAs. It also increases the success rate of MADV_COLLAPSE against
an anon vma.
- The 2 patch series "mm: do not assume file == vma->vm_file in
compat_vma_mmap_prepare()" from Lorenzo Stoakes moves us further towards
removal of file_operations.mmap(). This patchset concentrates upon
clearing up the treatment of stacked filesystems.
- The 6 patch series "mm: Improve mlock tracking for large folios" from
Kiryl Shutsemau provides some fixes and improvements to mlock's tracking
of large folios. /proc/meminfo's "Mlocked" field became more accurate.
- The 2 patch series "mm/ksm: Fix incorrect accounting of KSM counters
during fork" from Donet Tom fixes several user-visible KSM stats
inaccuracies across forks and adds selftest code to verify these
counters.
- The 2 patch series "mm_slot: fix the usage of mm_slot_entry" from Wei
Yang addresses some potential but presently benign issues in KSM's
mm_slot handling.

It's a long story - the [1/N] changelog spells out the considerations
- "Add and use memdesc_flags_t" from Matthew Wilcox gets us started on
the memdesc project. Please see
https://kernelnewbies.org/MatthewWilcox/Memdescs and
https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/post/introducing-memdesc
- "Tiny optimization for large read operations" from Chi Zhiling
improves the efficiency of the pagecache read path
- "Better split_huge_page_test result check" from Zi Yan improves our
folio splitting selftest code
- "test that rmap behaves as expected" from Wei Yang adds some rmap
selftests
- "remove write_cache_pages()" from Christoph Hellwig removes that
function and converts its two remaining callers
- "selftests/mm: uffd-stress fixes" from Dev Jain fixes some UFFD
selftests issues
- "introduce kernel file mapped folios" from Boris Burkov introduces
the concept of "kernel file pages". Using these permits btrfs to
account its metadata pages to the root cgroup, rather than to the
cgroups of random inappropriate tasks
- "mm/pageblock: improve readability of some pageblock handling" from
Wei Yang provides some readability improvements to the page allocator
code
- "mm/damon: support ARM32 with LPAE" from SeongJae Park teaches DAMON
to understand arm32 highmem
- "tools: testing: Use existing atomic.h for vma/maple tests" from
Brendan Jackman performs some code cleanups and deduplication under
tools/testing/
- "maple_tree: Fix testing for 32bit compiles" from Liam Howlett fixes
a couple of 32-bit issues in tools/testing/radix-tree.c
- "kasan: unify kasan_enabled() and remove arch-specific
implementations" from Sabyrzhan Tasbolatov moves KASAN arch-specific
initialization code into a common arch-neutral implementation
- "mm: remove zpool" from Johannes Weiner removes zspool - an
indirection layer which now only redirects to a single thing
(zsmalloc)
- "mm: task_stack: Stack handling cleanups" from Pasha Tatashin makes a
couple of cleanups in the fork code
- "mm: remove nth_page()" from David Hildenbrand makes rather a lot of
adjustments at various nth_page() callsites, eventually permitting
the removal of that undesirable helper function
- "introduce kasan.write_only option in hw-tags" from Yeoreum Yun
creates a KASAN read-only mode for ARM, using that architecture's
memory tagging feature. It is felt that a read-only mode KASAN is
suitable for use in production systems rather than debug-only
- "mm: hugetlb: cleanup hugetlb folio allocation" from Kefeng Wang does
some tidying in the hugetlb folio allocation code
- "mm: establish const-correctness for pointer parameters" from Max
Kellermann makes quite a number of the MM API functions more accurate
about the constness of their arguments. This was getting in the way
of subsystems (in this case CEPH) when they attempt to improving
their own const/non-const accuracy
- "Cleanup free_pages() misuse" from Vishal Moola fixes a number of
code sites which were confused over when to use free_pages() vs
__free_pages()
- "Add Rust abstraction for Maple Trees" from Alice Ryhl makes the
mapletree code accessible to Rust. Required by nouveau and by its
forthcoming successor: the new Rust Nova driver
- "selftests/mm: split_huge_page_test: split_pte_mapped_thp
improvements" from David Hildenbrand adds a fix and some cleanups to
the thp selftesting code
- "mm, swap: introduce swap table as swap cache (phase I)" from Chris
Li and Kairui Song is the first step along the path to implementing
"swap tables" - a new approach to swap allocation and state tracking
which is expected to yield speed and space improvements. This
patchset itself yields a 5-20% performance benefit in some situations
- "Some ptdesc cleanups" from Matthew Wilcox utilizes the new memdesc
layer to clean up the ptdesc code a little
- "Fix va_high_addr_switch.sh test failure" from Chunyu Hu fixes some
issues in our 5-level pagetable selftesting code
- "Minor fixes for memory allocation profiling" from Suren Baghdasaryan
addresses a couple of minor issues in relatively new memory
allocation profiling feature
- "Small cleanups" from Matthew Wilcox has a few cleanups in
preparation for more memdesc work
- "mm/damon: add addr_unit for DAMON_LRU_SORT and DAMON_RECLAIM" from
Quanmin Yan makes some changes to DAMON in furtherance of supporting
arm highmem
- "selftests/mm: Add -Wunreachable-code and fix warnings" from Muhammad
Anjum adds that compiler check to selftests code and fixes the
fallout, by removing dead code
- "Improvements to Victim Process Thawing and OOM Reaper Traversal
Order" from zhongjinji makes a number of improvements in the OOM
killer: mainly thawing a more appropriate group of victim threads so
they can release resources
- "mm/damon: misc fixups and improvements for 6.18" from SeongJae Park
is a bunch of small and unrelated fixups for DAMON

to a recently-added bug fix
- "mm/damon/stat: expose auto-tuned intervals and non-idle ages" from
SeongJae Park provides additional transparency to userspace clients
of the DAMON_STAT information
- "Expand scope of khugepaged anonymous collapse" from Dev Jain removes
some constraints on khubepaged's collapsing of anon VMAs. It also
increases the success rate of MADV_COLLAPSE against an anon vma
- "mm: do not assume file == vma->vm_file in compat_vma_mmap_prepare()"
from Lorenzo Stoakes moves us further towards removal of
file_operations.mmap(). This patchset concentrates upon clearing up
the treatment of stacked filesystems
- "mm: Improve mlock tracking for large folios" from Kiryl Shutsemau
provides some fixes and improvements to mlock's tracking of large
folios. /proc/meminfo's "Mlocked" field became more accurate

Merge tag 'slab-for-6.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab
Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
- A new layer for caching objects for allocation and free via percpu
arrays called sheaves.
The aim is to combine the good parts of SLAB (lower-overhead and
simpler percpu caching, compared to SLUB) without the past issues
with arrays for freeing remote NUMA node objects and their flushing.
It also allows more efficient kfree_rcu(), and cheaper object
preallocations for cases where the exact number of objects is
unknown, but an upper bound is.
Currently VMAs and maple nodes are using this new caching, with a
plan to enable it for all caches and remove the complex SLUB fastpath
based on cpu (partial) slabs and this_cpu_cmpxchg_double().
(Vlastimil Babka, with Liam Howlett and Pedro Falcato for the maple
tree changes)
- Re-entrant kmalloc_nolock(), which allows opportunistic allocations
from NMI and tracing/kprobe contexts.
Building on prior page allocator and memcg changes, it will result in
removing BPF-specific caches on top of slab (Alexei Starovoitov)
- Various fixes and cleanups. (Kuan-Wei Chiu, Matthew Wilcox, Suren
Baghdasaryan, Ye Liu)

Previously the header gfp_types.h in tools points to the gfp_types.h
in include/linux. This is a problem for tools like perf, since the
tools header is supposed to be independent of the kernel
headers.
Therefore this patch copies the kernel header to the tools header and
adds a header check.

Note the bitmap.h in tools has diverged from that of the kernel, so no

supporting KCFI, rename CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI (along with
associated options).
Use new "transitional" Kconfig option for old CONFIG_CFI_CLANG that will
enable CONFIG_CFI during olddefconfig.

This patch adds necessary plumbing in verifier, syscall and maps to
support handling new kfunc bpf_task_work_schedule and kernel structure
bpf_task_work. The idea is similar to how we already handle bpf_wq and
bpf_timer.
verifier changes validate calls to bpf_task_work_schedule to make sure
it is safe and expected invariants hold.
btf part is required to detect bpf_task_work structure inside map value
and store its offset, which will be used in the next patch to calculate
key and value addresses.
arraymap and hashtab changes are needed to handle freeing of the
bpf_task_work: run code needed to deinitialize it, for example cancel
task_work callback if possible.
The use of bpf_task_work and proper implementation for kfuncs are
introduced in the next patch.

This patch extends the BPF_PROG_LOAD command by adding three new fields
to `union bpf_attr` in the user-space API:
- signature: A pointer to the signature blob.
- signature_size: The size of the signature blob.
- keyring_id: The serial number of a loaded kernel keyring (e.g.,
the user or session keyring) containing the trusted public keys.
When a BPF program is loaded with a signature, the kernel:
1. Retrieves the trusted keyring using the provided `keyring_id`.
2. Verifies the supplied signature against the BPF program's
instruction buffer.
3. If the signature is valid and was generated by a key in the trusted
keyring, the program load proceeds.
4. If no signature is provided, the load proceeds as before, allowing
for backward compatibility. LSMs can chose to restrict unsigned
programs and implement a security policy.
5. If signature verification fails for any reason,
the program is not loaded.

Commit d5094bcb5b ("tools/nolibc: define time_t in terms of
__kernel_old_time_t") made nolibc use the kernel's time type so that
`time_t` matches `timespec::tv_sec` on all ABIs (notably x32).
But since __kernel_old_time_t is fairly new, notably from 2020 in commit
94c467ddb2 ("y2038: add __kernel_old_timespec and __kernel_old_time_t"),
nolibc builds that rely on host headers may fail.
Switch to __kernel_time_t, which is the same as __kernel_old_time_t and
has existed for longer.

Currently only array maps are supported, but the implementation can be
extended for other maps and objects. The hash is memoized only for
exclusive and frozen maps as their content is stable until the exclusive
program modifies the map.
This is required for BPF signing, enabling a trusted loader program to
verify a map's integrity. The loader retrieves
the map's runtime hash from the kernel and compares it against an
expected hash computed at build time.

Patch series "tools: testing: Use existing atomic.h for vma/maple tests",
v2.
De-duplicating this lets us delete a bit of code.
Ulterior motive: I'm working on a new set of the userspace-based unit
tests, which will need the atomics API too. That would involve even more
duplication, so while the win in this patchset alone is very minimal, it
looks a lot more significant with my other WIP patchset.
I've tested these commands:
make -C tools/testing/vma -j
tools/testing/vma/vma
make -C tools/testing/radix-tree -j
tools/testing/radix-tree/maple
Note the EXTRA_CFLAGS patch is actually orthogonal, let me know if you'd
prefer I send it separately.
This patch (of 4):
The VMA tests need an operation equivalent to atomic_inc_unless_negative()
to implement a fake mapping_map_writable(). Adding it will enable them to
switch to the shared atomic headers and simplify that fake implementation.
In order to add that, also add atomic_try_cmpxchg() which can be used to
implement it. This is copied from Documentation/atomic_t.txt. Then,
implement atomic_inc_unless_negative() itself based on the
raw_atomic_dec_unless_positive() in
include/linux/atomic/atomic-arch-fallback.h.
There's no present need for a highly-optimised version of this (nor any
reason to think this implementation is sub-optimal on x86) so just
implement this with generic C, no x86-specifics.

All the ANNOTATE_NOCFI_SYM sites are prime targets for attackers.

- Host driver for GICv5, the next generation interrupt controller for
arm64, including support for interrupt routing, MSIs, interrupt

- Use FEAT_GCIE_LEGACY on GICv5 systems to virtualize GICv3 VMs on
GICv5 hardware, leveraging the legacy VGIC interface.
- Userspace control of the 'nASSGIcap' GICv3 feature, allowing
userspace to disable support for SGIs w/o an active state on hardware
that previously advertised it unconditionally.
- Map supporting endpoints with cacheable memory attributes on systems
with FEAT_S2FWB and DIC where KVM no longer needs to perform cache
maintenance on the address range.
- Nested support for FEAT_RAS and FEAT_DoubleFault2, allowing the guest
hypervisor to inject external aborts into an L2 VM and take traps of
masked external aborts to the hypervisor.
- Convert more system register sanitization to the config-driven
implementation.
- Fixes to the visibility of EL2 registers, namely making VGICv3 system
registers accessible through the VGIC device instead of the ONE_REG
vCPU ioctls.
- Various cleanups and minor fixes.
LoongArch:
- Add stat information for in-kernel irqchip
- Add tracepoints for CPUCFG and CSR emulation exits
- Enhance in-kernel irqchip emulation
- Various cleanups.
RISC-V:
- Enable ring-based dirty memory tracking
- Improve perf kvm stat to report interrupt events
- Delegate illegal instruction trap to VS-mode
- MMU improvements related to upcoming nested virtualization
s390x
- Fixes
x86:
- Add CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC for x86 to allow disabling support for I/O APIC,
PIC, and PIT emulation at compile time.
- Share device posted IRQ code between SVM and VMX and
harden it against bugs and runtime errors.
- Use vcpu_idx, not vcpu_id, for GA log tag/metadata, to make lookups O(1)
instead of O(n).
- For MMIO stale data mitigation, track whether or not a vCPU has access to
(host) MMIO based on whether the page tables have MMIO pfns mapped; using
VFIO is prone to false negatives
- Rework the MSR interception code so that the SVM and VMX APIs are more or
less identical.
- Recalculate all MSR intercepts from scratch on MSR filter changes,
instead of maintaining shadow bitmaps.
- Advertise support for LKGS (Load Kernel GS base), a new instruction
that's loosely related to FRED, but is supported and enumerated
independently.
- Fix a user-triggerable WARN that syzkaller found by setting the vCPU
in INIT_RECEIVED state (aka wait-for-SIPI), and then putting the vCPU
into VMX Root Mode (post-VMXON). Trying to detect every possible path
leading to architecturally forbidden states is hard and even risks
breaking userspace (if it goes from valid to valid state but passes
through invalid states), so just wait until KVM_RUN to detect that
the vCPU state isn't allowed.
- Add KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_APERFMPERF to allow disabling interception of
APERF/MPERF reads, so that a "properly" configured VM can access
APERF/MPERF. This has many caveats (APERF/MPERF cannot be zeroed
on vCPU creation or saved/restored on suspend and resume, or preserved
over thread migration let alone VM migration) but can be useful whenever
you're interested in letting Linux guests see the effective physical CPU
frequency in /proc/cpuinfo.
- Reject KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ for vm file descriptors if vCPUs have been
created, as there's no known use case for changing the default
frequency for other VM types and it goes counter to the very reason
why the ioctl was added to the vm file descriptor. And also, there
would be no way to make it work for confidential VMs with a "secure"
TSC, so kill two birds with one stone.
- Dynamically allocation the shadow MMU's hashed page list, and defer
allocating the hashed list until it's actually needed (the TDP MMU
doesn't use the list).
- Extract many of KVM's helpers for accessing architectural local APIC
state to common x86 so that they can be shared by guest-side code for
Secure AVIC.
- Various cleanups and fixes.
x86 (Intel):
- Preserve the host's DEBUGCTL.FREEZE_IN_SMM when running the guest.
Failure to honor FREEZE_IN_SMM can leak host state into guests.
- Explicitly check vmcs12.GUEST_DEBUGCTL on nested VM-Enter to prevent
L1 from running L2 with features that KVM doesn't support, e.g. BTF.
x86 (AMD):
- WARN and reject loading kvm-amd.ko instead of panicking the kernel if the
nested SVM MSRPM offsets tracker can't handle an MSR (which is pretty
much a static condition and therefore should never happen, but still).
- Fix a variety of flaws and bugs in the AVIC device posted IRQ code.
- Inhibit AVIC if a vCPU's ID is too big (relative to what hardware
supports) instead of rejecting vCPU creation.
- Extend enable_ipiv module param support to SVM, by simply leaving
IsRunning clear in the vCPU's physical ID table entry.
- Disable IPI virtualization, via enable_ipiv, if the CPU is affected by
erratum #1235, to allow (safely) enabling AVIC on such CPUs.
- Request GA Log interrupts if and only if the target vCPU is blocking,
i.e. only if KVM needs a notification in order to wake the vCPU.
- Intercept SPEC_CTRL on AMD if the MSR shouldn't exist according to the
vCPU's CPUID model.
- Accept any SNP policy that is accepted by the firmware with respect to
SMT and single-socket restrictions. An incompatible policy doesn't put
the kernel at risk in any way, so there's no reason for KVM to care.
- Drop a superfluous WBINVD (on all CPUs!) when destroying a VM and
use WBNOINVD instead of WBINVD when possible for SEV cache maintenance.
- When reclaiming memory from an SEV guest, only do cache flushes on CPUs
that have ever run a vCPU for the guest, i.e. don't flush the caches for
CPUs that can't possibly have cache lines with dirty, encrypted data.
Generic:
- Rework irqbypass to track/match producers and consumers via an xarray
instead of a linked list. Using a linked list leads to O(n^2) insertion
times, which is hugely problematic for use cases that create large
numbers of VMs. Such use cases typically don't actually use irqbypass,
but eliminating the pointless registration is a future problem to
solve as it likely requires new uAPI.
- Track irqbypass's "token" as "struct eventfd_ctx *" instead of a "void *",
to avoid making a simple concept unnecessarily difficult to understand.
- Decouple device posted IRQs from VFIO device assignment, as binding a VM
to a VFIO group is not a requirement for enabling device posted IRQs.
- Clean up and document/comment the irqfd assignment code.
- Disallow binding multiple irqfds to an eventfd with a priority waiter,
i.e. ensure an eventfd is bound to at most one irqfd through the entire
host, and add a selftest to verify eventfd:irqfd bindings are globally
unique.
- Add a tracepoint for KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES to help debug issues
related to private <=> shared memory conversions.
- Drop guest_memfd's .getattr() implementation as the VFS layer will call
generic_fillattr() if inode_operations.getattr is NULL.
- Fix issues with dirty ring harvesting where KVM doesn't bound the
processing of entries in any way, which allows userspace to keep KVM
in a tight loop indefinitely.
- Kill off kvm_arch_{start,end}_assignment() and x86's associated tracking,
now that KVM no longer uses assigned_device_count as a heuristic for
either irqbypass usage or MDS mitigation.
Selftests:
- Fix a comment typo.
- Verify KVM is loaded when getting any KVM module param so that attempting
to run a selftest without kvm.ko loaded results in a SKIP message about
KVM not being loaded/enabled (versus some random parameter not existing).
- Skip tests that hit EACCES when attempting to access a file, and rpint
a "Root required?" help message. In most cases, the test just needs to
be run with elevated permissions.

- Add CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC for x86 to allow disabling support for I/O
APIC, PIC, and PIT emulation at compile time
- Share device posted IRQ code between SVM and VMX and harden it
against bugs and runtime errors
- Use vcpu_idx, not vcpu_id, for GA log tag/metadata, to make lookups
O(1) instead of O(n)
- For MMIO stale data mitigation, track whether or not a vCPU has
access to (host) MMIO based on whether the page tables have MMIO
pfns mapped; using VFIO is prone to false negatives
- Rework the MSR interception code so that the SVM and VMX APIs are
more or less identical
- Recalculate all MSR intercepts from scratch on MSR filter changes,
instead of maintaining shadow bitmaps
- Advertise support for LKGS (Load Kernel GS base), a new instruction
that's loosely related to FRED, but is supported and enumerated
independently
- Fix a user-triggerable WARN that syzkaller found by setting the
vCPU in INIT_RECEIVED state (aka wait-for-SIPI), and then putting
the vCPU into VMX Root Mode (post-VMXON). Trying to detect every
possible path leading to architecturally forbidden states is hard
and even risks breaking userspace (if it goes from valid to valid
state but passes through invalid states), so just wait until
KVM_RUN to detect that the vCPU state isn't allowed
- Add KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_APERFMPERF to allow disabling
interception of APERF/MPERF reads, so that a "properly" configured
VM can access APERF/MPERF. This has many caveats (APERF/MPERF
cannot be zeroed on vCPU creation or saved/restored on suspend and
resume, or preserved over thread migration let alone VM migration)
but can be useful whenever you're interested in letting Linux
guests see the effective physical CPU frequency in /proc/cpuinfo
- Reject KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ for vm file descriptors if vCPUs have been
created, as there's no known use case for changing the default
frequency for other VM types and it goes counter to the very reason
why the ioctl was added to the vm file descriptor. And also, there
would be no way to make it work for confidential VMs with a
"secure" TSC, so kill two birds with one stone
- Dynamically allocation the shadow MMU's hashed page list, and defer
allocating the hashed list until it's actually needed (the TDP MMU
doesn't use the list)
- Extract many of KVM's helpers for accessing architectural local
APIC state to common x86 so that they can be shared by guest-side
code for Secure AVIC
- Various cleanups and fixes
x86 (Intel):
- Preserve the host's DEBUGCTL.FREEZE_IN_SMM when running the guest.
Failure to honor FREEZE_IN_SMM can leak host state into guests
- Explicitly check vmcs12.GUEST_DEBUGCTL on nested VM-Enter to
prevent L1 from running L2 with features that KVM doesn't support,
e.g. BTF
x86 (AMD):
- WARN and reject loading kvm-amd.ko instead of panicking the kernel
if the nested SVM MSRPM offsets tracker can't handle an MSR (which
is pretty much a static condition and therefore should never
happen, but still)
- Fix a variety of flaws and bugs in the AVIC device posted IRQ code
- Inhibit AVIC if a vCPU's ID is too big (relative to what hardware
supports) instead of rejecting vCPU creation
- Extend enable_ipiv module param support to SVM, by simply leaving
IsRunning clear in the vCPU's physical ID table entry
- Disable IPI virtualization, via enable_ipiv, if the CPU is affected
by erratum #1235, to allow (safely) enabling AVIC on such CPUs
- Request GA Log interrupts if and only if the target vCPU is
blocking, i.e. only if KVM needs a notification in order to wake
the vCPU
- Intercept SPEC_CTRL on AMD if the MSR shouldn't exist according to
the vCPU's CPUID model
- Accept any SNP policy that is accepted by the firmware with respect
to SMT and single-socket restrictions. An incompatible policy
doesn't put the kernel at risk in any way, so there's no reason for
KVM to care
- Drop a superfluous WBINVD (on all CPUs!) when destroying a VM and
use WBNOINVD instead of WBINVD when possible for SEV cache
maintenance
- When reclaiming memory from an SEV guest, only do cache flushes on
CPUs that have ever run a vCPU for the guest, i.e. don't flush the
caches for CPUs that can't possibly have cache lines with dirty,
encrypted data
Generic:
- Rework irqbypass to track/match producers and consumers via an
xarray instead of a linked list. Using a linked list leads to
O(n^2) insertion times, which is hugely problematic for use cases
that create large numbers of VMs. Such use cases typically don't
actually use irqbypass, but eliminating the pointless registration
is a future problem to solve as it likely requires new uAPI
- Track irqbypass's "token" as "struct eventfd_ctx *" instead of a
"void *", to avoid making a simple concept unnecessarily difficult
to understand
- Decouple device posted IRQs from VFIO device assignment, as binding
a VM to a VFIO group is not a requirement for enabling device
posted IRQs
- Clean up and document/comment the irqfd assignment code
- Disallow binding multiple irqfds to an eventfd with a priority
waiter, i.e. ensure an eventfd is bound to at most one irqfd
through the entire host, and add a selftest to verify eventfd:irqfd
bindings are globally unique
- Add a tracepoint for KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES to help debug issues
related to private <=> shared memory conversions
- Drop guest_memfd's .getattr() implementation as the VFS layer will
call generic_fillattr() if inode_operations.getattr is NULL
- Fix issues with dirty ring harvesting where KVM doesn't bound the
processing of entries in any way, which allows userspace to keep
KVM in a tight loop indefinitely
- Kill off kvm_arch_{start,end}_assignment() and x86's associated
tracking, now that KVM no longer uses assigned_device_count as a
heuristic for either irqbypass usage or MDS mitigation
Selftests:
- Fix a comment typo
- Verify KVM is loaded when getting any KVM module param so that
attempting to run a selftest without kvm.ko loaded results in a
SKIP message about KVM not being loaded/enabled (versus some random
parameter not existing)
- Skip tests that hit EACCES when attempting to access a file, and
print a "Root required?" help message. In most cases, the test just
needs to be run with elevated permissions"

window and the rcv_buf more strict. With increased use of HW
aggregation a single "packet" can be multiple 100s of kB.
- Add MSG_MORE flag to optimize large TCP transmissions via sockmap,
improves latency up to 33% for sockmap users.

- MCTP: add support for gateway routing, improve bind() handling.
- Don't require rtnl_lock when fetching an IPv6 neighbor over Netlink.
- Add a new neighbor flag ("extern_valid"), which cedes refresh
responsibilities to userspace. This is needed for EVPN multi-homing
where a neighbor entry for a multi-homed host needs to be synced
across all the VTEPs among which the host is multi-homed.

- Split the code into syscall and exception/interrupt parts to ease the
conversion of ARM[64] to the generic entry infrastructure
- Extend syscall user dispatching to support a single intercepted range
instead of the default single non-intercepted range. That allows
monitoring/analysis of a specific executable range, e.g. a library, and
also provides flexibility for sandboxing scenarios.
- Cleanup and extend the user dispatch selftest
