- The 6 patch series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from
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 when using CMA on large machines. - The 2 patch series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for unmapped pages" from SeongJae Park enables users of DMAON/DAMOS to filter my the page's mapped/unmapped status. - The 19 patch series "zsmalloc/zram: there be preemption" from Sergey Senozhatsky teaches zram to run its compression and decompression operations preemptibly. - The 12 patch series "selftests/mm: Some cleanups from trying to run 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 removes the swap slot cache from the allocation path - it simply wasn't being effective. - The 5 patch series "mm: cleanups for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand implements a number of unrelated cleanups in this code. - The 5 patch series "mm: Rework generic PTDUMP configs" from Anshuman Khandual implements a number of preparatoty cleanups to the GENERIC_PTDUMP Kconfig logic. - The 8 patch series "mm/damon: auto-tune aggregation interval" from SeongJae Park implements a feedback-driven automatic tuning feature for DAMON's aggregation interval tuning. - The 5 patch series "Fix lazy mmu mode" from Ryan Roberts fixes some issues in powerpc, sparc and x86 lazy MMU implementations. Ryan did this in preparation for implementing lazy mmu mode for arm64 to optimize vmalloc. - The 2 patch series "mm/page_alloc: Some clarifications for migratetype fallback" from Brendan Jackman reworks some commentary to make the code easier to follow. - The 3 patch series "page_counter cleanup and size reduction" from Shakeel Butt cleans up the page_counter code and fixes a size increase which we accidentally added late last year. - The 3 patch series "Add a command line option that enables control of 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. - The 3 patch series "Fix calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgwb" from Tang Yizhou fixes the tracing output from the dirty page balancing code. - The 9 patch series "mm/damon: make allow filters after reject filters useful and intuitive" from SeongJae Park improves the handling of allow and reject filters. Behaviour is made more consistent and the documention is updated accordingly. - The 5 patch series "Switch zswap to object read/write APIs" from Yosry Ahmed updates zswap to the new object read/write APIs and thus permits the removal of some legacy code from zpool and zsmalloc. - The 6 patch series "Some trivial cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang does as it claims. - The 20 patch series "fs/dax: Fix ZONE_DEVICE page reference counts" from Alistair Popple regularizes the weird ZONE_DEVICE page refcount handling in DAX, permittig the removal of a number of special-case checks. - The 4 patch series "refactor mremap and fix bug" from Lorenzo Stoakes is a preparatoty refactoring and cleanup of the mremap() code. - The 20 patch series "mm: MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb) + CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT" from David Hildenbrand reworks the manner in which we determine whether a large folio is known to be mapped exclusively into a single MM. - The 8 patch series "mm/damon: add sysfs dirs for managing DAMOS filters based on handling layers" from SeongJae Park adds a couple of new sysfs directories to ease the management of DAMON/DAMOS filters. - The 13 patch series "arch, mm: reduce code duplication in mem_init()" from Mike Rapoport consolidates many per-arch implementations of mem_init() into code generic code, where that is practical. - The 13 patch series "mm/damon/sysfs: commit parameters online via damon_call()" from SeongJae Park continues the cleaning up of sysfs access to DAMON internal data. - The 3 patch series "mm: page_ext: Introduce new iteration API" from Luiz Capitulino reworks the page_ext initialization to fix a boot-time crash which was observed with an unusual combination of compile and cmdline options. - The 8 patch series "Buddy allocator like (or non-uniform) folio split" from Zi Yan reworks the code to split a folio into smaller folios. The main benefit is lessened memory consumption: fewer post-split folios are generated. - The 2 patch series "Minimize xa_node allocation during xarry split" from Zi Yan reduces the number of xarray xa_nodes which are generated during an xarray split. - The 2 patch series "drivers/base/memory: Two cleanups" from Gavin Shan performs some maintenance work on the drivers/base/memory code. - The 3 patch series "Add tracepoints for lowmem reserves, watermarks and totalreserve_pages" from Martin Liu adds some more tracepoints to the page allocator code. - The 4 patch series "mm/madvise: cleanup requests validations and classifications" from SeongJae Park cleans up some warts which SeongJae observed during his earlier madvise work. - The 3 patch series "mm/hwpoison: Fix regressions in memory failure handling" from Shuai Xue addresses two quite serious regressions which Shuai has observed in the memory-failure implementation. - The 5 patch series "mm: reliable huge page allocator" from Johannes Weiner makes huge page allocations cheaper and more reliable by reducing fragmentation. - The 5 patch series "Minor memcg cleanups & prep for memdescs" from Matthew Wilcox is preparatory work for the future implementation of memdescs. - The 4 patch series "track memory used by balloon drivers" from Nico Pache introduces a way to track memory used by our various balloon drivers. - The 2 patch series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for active pages" from Nhat Pham permits users to filter for active/inactive pages, separately for file and anon pages. - The 2 patch series "Adding Proactive Memory Reclaim Statistics" from Hao Jia separates the proactive reclaim statistics from the direct reclaim statistics. - The 2 patch series "mm/vmscan: don't try to reclaim hwpoison folio" from Jinjiang Tu fixes our handling of hwpoisoned pages within the reclaim code. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHQEABYKAB0WIQTTMBEPP41GrTpTJgfdBJ7gKXxAjgUCZ+nZaAAKCRDdBJ7gKXxA jsOWAPiP4r7CJHMZRK4eyJOkvS1a1r+TsIarrFZtjwvf/GIfAQCEG+JDxVfUaUSF Ee93qSSLR1BkNdDw+931Pu0mXfbnBw== =Pn2K -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'mm-stable-2025-03-30-16-52' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - The series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from Uros Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide compile-time checking of percpu area accesses.

Updates for interrupt chip drivers:
- Support for hard indices on RISC-V. The hart index identifies a hart
(core) within a specific interrupt domain in RISC-V's Priviledged
Architecture.
- Rework of the RISC-V MSI driver.
This moves the driver over to the generic MSI library and solves the
affinity problem of unmaskable PCI/MSI controllers. Unmaskable PCI/MSI
controllers are prone to lose interrupts when the MSI message is
updated to change the affinity because the message write consists of
three 32-bit subsequent writes, which update address and data. As these
writes are non-atomic versus the device raising an interrupt, the
device can observe a half written update and issue an interrupt on the
wrong vector. This is mitiated by a carefully orchestrated step by step
update and the observation of an eventually pending interrupt on the
CPU which issues the update. The algorithm follows the well established
method of the X86 MSI driver.
- A new driver for the RISC-V Sophgo SG2042 MSI controller
- Overhaul of the Renesas RZQ2L driver.
Simplification of the probe function by using devm_*() mechanisms,
which avoid the endless list of error prone gotos in the failure paths.
- Expand the Renesas RZV2H driver to support RZ/G3E SoCs
- A workaround for Rockchip 3568002 erratum in the GIC-V3 driver to
ensure that the addressing is limited to the lower 32-bit of the
physical address space.
- Add support for the Allwinner AS23 NMI controller
- Expand the IMX irqsteer driver to handle up to 960 input interrupts
- The usual small updates, cleanups and device tree changes.

affinity problem of unmaskable PCI/MSI controllers. Unmaskable
PCI/MSI controllers are prone to lose interrupts when the MSI message
is updated to change the affinity because the message write consists
of three 32-bit subsequent writes, which update address and data. As
these writes are non-atomic versus the device raising an interrupt,
the device can observe a half written update and issue an interrupt
on the wrong vector. This is mitiated by a carefully orchestrated
step by step update and the observation of an eventually pending
interrupt on the CPU which issues the update. The algorithm follows
the well established method of the X86 MSI driver.
- A new driver for the RISC-V Sophgo SG2042 MSI controller
- Overhaul of the Renesas RZQ2L driver
Simplification of the probe function by using devm_*() mechanisms,
which avoid the endless list of error prone gotos in the failure
paths.
- Expand the Renesas RZV2H driver to support RZ/G3E SoCs
- A workaround for Rockchip 3568002 erratum in the GIC-V3 driver to
ensure that the addressing is limited to the lower 32-bit of the
physical address space.
- Add support for the Allwinner AS23 NMI controller
- Expand the IMX irqsteer driver to handle up to 960 input interrupts
- The usual small updates, cleanups and device tree changes

It has been a reasonably busy cycle for docs...
- Significant changes throughout the tree to bring Python code up to
current standards and raise the minimum Python required to 3.9. Much of
this is preparatory to replacing the ancient Perl scripts/kernel-doc
horror with a slightly less horrifying Python implementation, expected
for 6.16.
- Update the minimum Sphinx required to 3.4.3, allowing us to remove a
bunch of older compatibility code.
- Rework and improve the generation of the ABI documentation.
(All of the above done by Mauro)
- Lots of translation updates. Alex Shi and Yanteng Si are taking on
responsibility for the Chinese translations going forward; that work will
still get to you via docs-next
- Try to standardize the format for indicating a developer's affiliation in
commit tags.
- Clarify the TAB's role in CoC enforcement actions.
- Try to spell out the rules for when a commit tag can name another
developer without their explicit permission.
Plus lots of other typo fixes and updates.

arm64/boot: Enable EL2 requirements for FEAT_PMUv3p9
FEAT_PMUv3p9 registers such as PMICNTR_EL0, PMICFILTR_EL0, and PMUACR_EL1 access from EL1 requires appropriate EL2 fine grained trap configuration via FEAT_FGT2 based trap control registers HDFGRTR2_EL2 and HDFGWTR2_EL2. Otherwise such register accesses will result in traps into EL2. Add a new helper __init_el2_fgt2() which initializes FEAT_FGT2 based fine grained trap control registers HDFGRTR2_EL2 and HDFGWTR2_EL2 (setting the bits nPMICNTR_EL0, nPMICFILTR_EL0 and nPMUACR_EL1) to enable access into PMICNTR_EL0, PMICFILTR_EL0, and PMUACR_EL1 registers.

irqchip/gic-v3: Add Rockchip 3568002 erratum workaround
Rockchip RK3566/RK3568 GIC600 integration has DDR addressing limited to the first 32bit of physical address space. Rockchip assigned Erratum ID #3568002 for this issue. Add driver quirk for this Rockchip GIC Erratum. Note, that the 0x0201743b GIC600 ID is not Rockchip-specific and is common for many ARM GICv3 implementations.

Kthreads affinity follow either of 4 existing different patterns:
1) Per-CPU kthreads must stay affine to a single CPU and never execute
relevant code on any other CPU. This is currently handled by smpboot
code which takes care of CPU-hotplug operations. Affinity here is
a correctness constraint.
2) Some kthreads _have_ to be affine to a specific set of CPUs and can't
run anywhere else. The affinity is set through kthread_bind_mask()
and the subsystem takes care by itself to handle CPU-hotplug
operations. Affinity here is assumed to be a correctness constraint.
3) Per-node kthreads _prefer_ to be affine to a specific NUMA node. This
is not a correctness constraint but merely a preference in terms of
memory locality. kswapd and kcompactd both fall into this category.
The affinity is set manually like for any other task and CPU-hotplug
is supposed to be handled by the relevant subsystem so that the task
is properly reaffined whenever a given CPU from the node comes up.
Also care should be taken so that the node affinity doesn't cross
isolated (nohz_full) cpumask boundaries.
4) Similar to the previous point except kthreads have a _preferred_
affinity different than a node. Both RCU boost kthreads and RCU
exp kworkers fall into this category as they refer to "RCU nodes"
from a distinctly distributed tree.
Currently the preferred affinity patterns (3 and 4) have at least 4
identified users, with more or less success when it comes to handle
CPU-hotplug operations and CPU isolation. Each of which do it in its own
ad-hoc way.
This is an infrastructure proposal to handle this with the following API
changes:
_ kthread_create_on_node() automatically affines the created kthread to
its target node unless it has been set as per-cpu or bound with
kthread_bind[_mask]() before the first wake-up.
- kthread_affine_preferred() is a new function that can be called right
after kthread_create_on_node() to specify a preferred affinity
different than the specified node.
When the preferred affinity can't be applied because the possible
targets are offline or isolated (nohz_full), the kthread is affine
to the housekeeping CPUs (which means to all online CPUs most of the
time or only the non-nohz_full CPUs when nohz_full= is set).
kswapd, kcompactd, RCU boost kthreads and RCU exp kworkers have been
converted, along with a few old drivers.
Summary of the changes:
* Consolidate a bunch of ad-hoc implementations of kthread_run_on_cpu()
* Introduce task_cpu_fallback_mask() that defines the default last
resort affinity of a task to become nohz_full aware
* Add some correctness check to ensure kthread_bind() is always called
before the first kthread wake up.
* Default affine kthread to its preferred node.
* Convert kswapd / kcompactd and remove their halfway working ad-hoc
affinity implementation
* Implement kthreads preferred affinity
* Unify kthread worker and kthread API's style
* Convert RCU kthreads to the new API and remove the ad-hoc affinity
implementation.

The arm64 'memory.rst' file tries to document the virtual memory map and the translation procedure for a couple of kernel configurations. Unfortunately, the virtual memory map changes relatively frequently and we support considerably more configurations than we did when the docs were introduced (e.g. we now have support for 16KiB pages and 52-bit addressing). Furthermore, the Arm ARM is the definitive resource for the translation procedure and so there's little point in duplicating part of that information in the kernel documentation. Rather than continue trying (and failing) to maintain these diagrams, let's rip them out. The kernel page-table can be dumped using CONFIG_PTDUMP_DEBUGFS if necesssary.

arm64: Exclude nohz_full CPUs from 32bits el0 support
Nohz full CPUs are not a desirable fallback target to run 32bits el0 applications. If present, prefer a set of housekeeping CPUs that can do the job instead. Otherwise just don't support el0 32 bits. Should the need arise, appropriate support can be introduced in the future.

arm64/hwcap: Describe 2024 dpISA extensions to userspace
The 2024 dpISA introduces a number of architecture features all of which only add new instructions so only require the addition of hwcaps and ID register visibility.

arm64: Filter out SVE hwcaps when FEAT_SVE isn't implemented
The hwcaps code that exposes SVE features to userspace only
considers ID_AA64ZFR0_EL1, while this is only valid when
ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.SVE advertises that SVE is actually supported.
The expectations are that when ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.SVE is 0, the
ID_AA64ZFR0_EL1 register is also 0. So far, so good.
Things become a bit more interesting if the HW implements SME.
In this case, a few ID_AA64ZFR0_EL1 fields indicate *SME*
features. And these fields overlap with their SVE interpretations.
But the architecture says that the SME and SVE feature sets must
match, so we're still hunky-dory.
This goes wrong if the HW implements SME, but not SVE. In this
case, we end-up advertising some SVE features to userspace, even
if the HW has none. That's because we never consider whether SVE
is actually implemented. Oh well.
Fix it by restricting all SVE capabilities to ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.SVE
being non-zero. The HWCAPS documentation is amended to reflect the
actually checks performed by the kernel.
Fixes:

iommu/arm-smmu: Re-enable context caching in smmu reset operation
Default MMU-500 reset operation disables context caching in prefetch buffer. It is however expected for context banks using the ACTLR register to retain their prefetch value during reset and runtime suspend. Add config 'ARM_SMMU_MMU_500_CPRE_ERRATA' to gate this errata workaround in default MMU-500 reset operation which defaults to 'Y' and provide option to disable workaround for context caching in prefetch buffer as and when needed.

The biggest change here is eliminating the awful idea that KVM had, of
essentially guessing which pfns are refcounted pages. The reason to
do so was that KVM needs to map both non-refcounted pages (for example
BARs of VFIO devices) and VM_PFNMAP/VM_MIXMEDMAP VMAs that contain
refcounted pages. However, the result was security issues in the past,
and more recently the inability to map VM_IO and VM_PFNMAP memory
that _is_ backed by struct page but is not refcounted. In particular
this broke virtio-gpu blob resources (which directly map host graphics
buffers into the guest as "vram" for the virtio-gpu device) with the
amdgpu driver, because amdgpu allocates non-compound higher order pages
and the tail pages could not be mapped into KVM.
This requires adjusting all uses of struct page in the per-architecture
code, to always work on the pfn whenever possible. The large series that
did this, from David Stevens and Sean Christopherson, also cleaned up
substantially the set of functions that provided arch code with the
pfn for a host virtual addresses. The previous maze of twisty little
passages, all different, is replaced by five functions (__gfn_to_page,
__kvm_faultin_pfn, the non-__ versions of these two, and kvm_prefetch_pages)
saving almost 200 lines of code.
ARM:
* Support for stage-1 permission indirection (FEAT_S1PIE) and
permission overlays (FEAT_S1POE), including nested virt + the
emulated page table walker
* Introduce PSCI SYSTEM_OFF2 support to KVM + client driver. This call
was introduced in PSCIv1.3 as a mechanism to request hibernation,
similar to the S4 state in ACPI
* Explicitly trap + hide FEAT_MPAM (QoS controls) from KVM guests. As
part of it, introduce trivial initialization of the host's MPAM
context so KVM can use the corresponding traps
* PMU support under nested virtualization, honoring the guest
hypervisor's trap configuration and event filtering when running a
nested guest
* Fixes to vgic ITS serialization where stale device/interrupt table
entries are not zeroed when the mapping is invalidated by the VM
* Avoid emulated MMIO completion if userspace has requested synchronous
external abort injection
* Various fixes and cleanups affecting pKVM, vCPU initialization, and
selftests
LoongArch:
* Add iocsr and mmio bus simulation in kernel.
* Add in-kernel interrupt controller emulation.
* Add support for virtualization extensions to the eiointc irqchip.
PPC:
* Drop lingering and utterly obsolete references to PPC970 KVM, which was
removed 10 years ago.
* Fix incorrect documentation references to non-existing ioctls
RISC-V:
* Accelerate KVM RISC-V when running as a guest
* Perf support to collect KVM guest statistics from host side
s390:
* New selftests: more ucontrol selftests and CPU model sanity checks
* Support for the gen17 CPU model
* List registers supported by KVM_GET/SET_ONE_REG in the documentation
x86:
* Cleanup KVM's handling of Accessed and Dirty bits to dedup code, improve
documentation, harden against unexpected changes. Even if the hardware
A/D tracking is disabled, it is possible to use the hardware-defined A/D
bits to track if a PFN is Accessed and/or Dirty, and that removes a lot
of special cases.
* Elide TLB flushes when aging secondary PTEs, as has been done in x86's
primary MMU for over 10 years.
* Recover huge pages in-place in the TDP MMU when dirty page logging is
toggled off, instead of zapping them and waiting until the page is
re-accessed to create a huge mapping. This reduces vCPU jitter.
* Batch TLB flushes when dirty page logging is toggled off. This reduces
the time it takes to disable dirty logging by ~3x.
* Remove the shrinker that was (poorly) attempting to reclaim shadow page
tables in low-memory situations.
* Clean up and optimize KVM's handling of writes to MSR_IA32_APICBASE.
* Advertise CPUIDs for new instructions in Clearwater Forest
* Quirk KVM's misguided behavior of initialized certain feature MSRs to
their maximum supported feature set, which can result in KVM creating
invalid vCPU state. E.g. initializing PERF_CAPABILITIES to a non-zero
value results in the vCPU having invalid state if userspace hides PDCM
from the guest, which in turn can lead to save/restore failures.
* Fix KVM's handling of non-canonical checks for vCPUs that support LA57
to better follow the "architecture", in quotes because the actual
behavior is poorly documented. E.g. most MSR writes and descriptor
table loads ignore CR4.LA57 and operate purely on whether the CPU
supports LA57.
* Bypass the register cache when querying CPL from kvm_sched_out(), as
filling the cache from IRQ context is generally unsafe; harden the
cache accessors to try to prevent similar issues from occuring in the
future. The issue that triggered this change was already fixed in 6.12,
but was still kinda latent.
* Advertise AMD_IBPB_RET to userspace, and fix a related bug where KVM
over-advertises SPEC_CTRL when trying to support cross-vendor VMs.
* Minor cleanups
* Switch hugepage recovery thread to use vhost_task. These kthreads can
consume significant amounts of CPU time on behalf of a VM or in response
to how the VM behaves (for example how it accesses its memory); therefore
KVM tried to place the thread in the VM's cgroups and charge the CPU
time consumed by that work to the VM's container. However the kthreads
did not process SIGSTOP/SIGCONT, and therefore cgroups which had KVM
instances inside could not complete freezing. Fix this by replacing the
kthread with a PF_USER_WORKER thread, via the vhost_task abstraction.
Another 100+ lines removed, with generally better behavior too like
having these threads properly parented in the process tree.
* Revert a workaround for an old CPU erratum (Nehalem/Westmere) that didn't
really work; there was really nothing to work around anyway: the broken
patch was meant to fix nested virtualization, but the PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL
MSR is virtualized and therefore unaffected by the erratum.
* Fix 6.12 regression where CONFIG_KVM will be built as a module even
if asked to be builtin, as long as neither KVM_INTEL nor KVM_AMD is 'y'.
x86 selftests:
* x86 selftests can now use AVX.
Documentation:
* Use rST internal links
* Reorganize the introduction to the API document
Generic:
* Protect vcpu->pid accesses outside of vcpu->mutex with a rwlock instead
of RCU, so that running a vCPU on a different task doesn't encounter long
due to having to wait for all CPUs become quiescent. In general both reads
and writes are rare, but userspace that supports confidential computing is
introducing the use of "helper" vCPUs that may jump from one host processor
to another. Those will be very happy to trigger a synchronize_rcu(), and
the effect on performance is quite the disaster.

arm64/ptrace: Clarify documentation of VL configuration via ptrace
When we configure SVE, SSVE or ZA via ptrace we allow the user to configure the vector length and specify any of the flags that are accepted when configuring via prctl(). This includes the S[VM]E_SET_VL_ONEXEC flag which defers the configuration of the VL until an exec(). We don't do anything to limit the provision of register data as part of configuring the _ONEXEC VL but as a function of the VL enumeration support we do this will be interpreted using the vector length currently configured for the process. This is all a bit surprising, and probably we should just not have allowed register data to be specified with _ONEXEC, but it's our ABI so let's add some explicit documentation in both the ABI documents and the source calling out what happens. The comments are also missing the fact that since SME does not have a mandatory 128 bit VL it is possible for VL enumeration to result in the configuration of a higher VL than was requested, cover that too.

arm64/gcs: Fix outdated ptrace documentation
The ptrace documentation for GCS was written prior to the implementation of
clone3() when we still blocked enabling of GCS via ptrace. This restriction
was relaxed as part of implementing clone3() support since we implemented
support for the GCS not being managed by the kernel but the documentation
still mentions the restriction. Update the documentation to reflect what
was merged.
We have not yet merged clone3() itself but all the support other than in
clone() itself is there.

arm64: cpufeature: discover CPU support for MPAM
ARMv8.4 adds support for 'Memory Partitioning And Monitoring' (MPAM) which describes an interface to cache and bandwidth controls wherever they appear in the system. Add support to detect MPAM. Like SVE, MPAM has an extra id register that describes some more properties, including the virtualisation support, which is optional. Detect this separately so we can detect mismatched/insane systems, but still use MPAM on the host even if the virtualisation support is missing. MPAM needs enabling at the highest implemented exception level, otherwise the register accesses trap. The 'enabled' flag is accessible to lower exception levels, but its in a register that traps when MPAM isn't enabled. The cpufeature 'matches' hook is extended to test this on one of the CPUs, so that firmware can emulate MPAM as disabled if it is reserved for use by secure world. Secondary CPUs that appear late could trip cpufeature's 'lower safe' behaviour after the MPAM properties have been advertised to user-space. Add a verify call to ensure late secondaries match the existing CPUs. (If you have a boot failure that bisects here its likely your CPUs advertise MPAM in the id registers, but firmware failed to either enable or MPAM, or emulate the trap as if it were disabled) Signed-off-by: James Morse <james.morse@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Joey Gouly <joey.gouly@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Gavin Shan <gshan@redhat.com> Tested-by: Shameer Kolothum <shameerali.kolothum.thodi@huawei.com> Acked-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Marc Zyngier <maz@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241030160317.2528209-4-joey.gouly@arm.com Signed-off-by: Oliver Upton <oliver.upton@linux.dev> |

arm64: mops: Document booting requirement for HCR_EL2.MCE2
Document that hypervisors must set HCR_EL2.MCE2 and handle MOPS exceptions when they migrate a vCPU to another type of CPU, as Linux may not be able to handle the exception at all times. As one example, when running under nested virtualization, KVM does not handle MOPS exceptions from the nVHE/hVHE EL2 hyp as the hyp is never migrated, so the host hypervisor needs to handle them. There may be other situations (now or in the future) where the kernel can't handle an unexpected MOPS exception, so require that the hypervisor handles them.

arm64: Document boot requirements for Guarded Control Stacks
FEAT_GCS introduces a number of new system registers, we require that access to these registers is not trapped when we identify that the feature is present. There is also a HCRX_EL2 control to make GCS operations functional. Since if GCS is enabled any function call instruction will cause a fault we also require that the feature be specifically disabled, existing kernels implicitly have this requirement and especially given that the MMU must be disabled it is difficult to see a situation where leaving GCS enabled would be reasonable.
