* Changes to FPU handling came in via the main s390 pull request
* Only deliver to the guest the SCLP events that userspace has
requested.
* More virtual vs physical address fixes (only a cleanup since
virtual and physical address spaces are currently the same).
* Fix selftests undefined behavior.
x86:
* Fix a restriction that the guest can't program a PMU event whose
encoding matches an architectural event that isn't included in the
guest CPUID. The enumeration of an architectural event only says
that if a CPU supports an architectural event, then the event can be
programmed *using the architectural encoding*. The enumeration does
NOT say anything about the encoding when the CPU doesn't report support
the event *in general*. It might support it, and it might support it
using the same encoding that made it into the architectural PMU spec.
* Fix a variety of bugs in KVM's emulation of RDPMC (more details on
individual commits) and add a selftest to verify KVM correctly emulates
RDMPC, counter availability, and a variety of other PMC-related
behaviors that depend on guest CPUID and therefore are easier to
validate with selftests than with custom guests (aka kvm-unit-tests).
* Zero out PMU state on AMD if the virtual PMU is disabled, it does not
cause any bug but it wastes time in various cases where KVM would check
if a PMC event needs to be synthesized.
* Optimize triggering of emulated events, with a nice ~10% performance
improvement in VM-Exit microbenchmarks when a vPMU is exposed to the
guest.
* Tighten the check for "PMI in guest" to reduce false positives if an NMI
arrives in the host while KVM is handling an IRQ VM-Exit.
* Fix a bug where KVM would report stale/bogus exit qualification information
when exiting to userspace with an internal error exit code.
* Add a VMX flag in /proc/cpuinfo to report 5-level EPT support.
* Rework TDP MMU root unload, free, and alloc to run with mmu_lock held for
read, e.g. to avoid serializing vCPUs when userspace deletes a memslot.
* Tear down TDP MMU page tables at 4KiB granularity (used to be 1GiB). KVM
doesn't support yielding in the middle of processing a zap, and 1GiB
granularity resulted in multi-millisecond lags that are quite impolite
for CONFIG_PREEMPT kernels.
* Allocate write-tracking metadata on-demand to avoid the memory overhead when
a kernel is built with i915 virtualization support but the workloads use
neither shadow paging nor i915 virtualization.
* Explicitly initialize a variety of on-stack variables in the emulator that
triggered KMSAN false positives.
* Fix the debugregs ABI for 32-bit KVM.
* Rework the "force immediate exit" code so that vendor code ultimately decides
how and when to force the exit, which allowed some optimization for both
Intel and AMD.
* Fix a long-standing bug where kvm_has_noapic_vcpu could be left elevated if
vCPU creation ultimately failed, causing extra unnecessary work.
* Cleanup the logic for checking if the currently loaded vCPU is in-kernel.
* Harden against underflowing the active mmu_notifier invalidation
count, so that "bad" invalidations (usually due to bugs elsehwere in the
kernel) are detected earlier and are less likely to hang the kernel.
x86 Xen emulation:
* Overlay pages can now be cached based on host virtual address,
instead of guest physical addresses. This removes the need to
reconfigure and invalidate the cache if the guest changes the
gpa but the underlying host virtual address remains the same.
* When possible, use a single host TSC value when computing the deadline for
Xen timers in order to improve the accuracy of the timer emulation.
* Inject pending upcall events when the vCPU software-enables its APIC to fix
a bug where an upcall can be lost (and to follow Xen's behavior).
* Fall back to the slow path instead of warning if "fast" IRQ delivery of Xen
events fails, e.g. if the guest has aliased xAPIC IDs.
RISC-V:
* Support exception and interrupt handling in selftests
* New self test for RISC-V architectural timer (Sstc extension)
* New extension support (Ztso, Zacas)
* Support userspace emulation of random number seed CSRs.
ARM:
* Infrastructure for building KVM's trap configuration based on the
architectural features (or lack thereof) advertised in the VM's ID
registers
* Support for mapping vfio-pci BARs as Normal-NC (vaguely similar to
x86's WC) at stage-2, improving the performance of interacting with
assigned devices that can tolerate it
* Conversion of KVM's representation of LPIs to an xarray, utilized to
address serialization some of the serialization on the LPI injection
path
* Support for _architectural_ VHE-only systems, advertised through the
absence of FEAT_E2H0 in the CPU's ID register
* Miscellaneous cleanups, fixes, and spelling corrections to KVM and
selftests
LoongArch:
* Set reserved bits as zero in CPUCFG.
* Start SW timer only when vcpu is blocking.
* Do not restart SW timer when it is expired.
* Remove unnecessary CSR register saving during enter guest.
* Misc cleanups and fixes as usual.
Generic:
* cleanup Kconfig by removing CONFIG_HAVE_KVM, which was basically always
true on all architectures except MIPS (where Kconfig determines the
available depending on CPU capabilities). It is replaced either by
an architecture-dependent symbol for MIPS, and IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KVM)
everywhere else.
* Factor common "select" statements in common code instead of requiring
each architecture to specify it
* Remove thoroughly obsolete APIs from the uapi headers.
* Move architecture-dependent stuff to uapi/asm/kvm.h
* Always flush the async page fault workqueue when a work item is being
removed, especially during vCPU destruction, to ensure that there are no
workers running in KVM code when all references to KVM-the-module are gone,
i.e. to prevent a very unlikely use-after-free if kvm.ko is unloaded.
* Grab a reference to the VM's mm_struct in the async #PF worker itself instead
of gifting the worker a reference, so that there's no need to remember
to *conditionally* clean up after the worker.
Selftests:
* Reduce boilerplate especially when utilize selftest TAP infrastructure.
* Add basic smoke tests for SEV and SEV-ES, along with a pile of library
support for handling private/encrypted/protected memory.
* Fix benign bugs where tests neglect to close() guest_memfd files.

from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
"implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".
- More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series
"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"
- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
scalability of zswap rb-tree".
- Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.
- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.
- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series "mm:
zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".
- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is hotplugged
as system memory.
- Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
which does that.
- More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series
"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"
- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving policy
wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion rather
than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory environments
appearing with CXL.
- Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".
- Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".
- Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
tools to parse and process out selftesting results.
- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the process
has a large number of pte-mapped folios.
- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown situations.
The microbenchmark improvements are nice.
- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings" Ryan
Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's series
"Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.
- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page faults.
He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.
- In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction test",
Mark Brown did what the title claims.
- Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and refactoring".
- Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
zswap kselftests" does as claimed.
- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess in
our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing data
caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.
- Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides dramatic
improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during certain
userfaultfd operations.
- Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
in his series
"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"
- Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability improvements
in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It realizes a 12x
improvement for a certain microbenchmark.
- Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".
- Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series
"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"
- Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging of
large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
memory compaction".
- Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages() to
an iterator".
- Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
"Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".
- Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".
- David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
total_mapcount()", a cleanup.
- Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".
- Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which are
configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.
- Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.
- Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
also. S390 is affected.
- Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
"mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".
- Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his
series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM Selftests".
- Also, of course, many singleton patches to many things. Please see
the individual changelogs for details.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"From the functional perspective, the most significant change here is
the addition of support for Energy Models that can be updated
dynamically at run time.
There is also the addition of LZ4 compression support for hibernation,
the new preferred core support in amd-pstate, new platforms support in
the Intel RAPL driver, new model-specific EPP handling in intel_pstate
and more.
Apart from that, the cpufreq default transition delay is reduced from
10 ms to 2 ms (along with some related adjustments), the system
suspend statistics code undergoes a significant rework and there is a
usual bunch of fixes and code cleanups all over.

creation and loading code (Nikhil V)

Pull hardening updates from Kees Cook:
"As is pretty normal for this tree, there are changes all over the
place, especially for small fixes, selftest improvements, and improved
macro usability.
Some header changes ended up landing via this tree as they depended on
the string header cleanups. Also, a notable set of changes is the work
for the reintroduction of the UBSAN signed integer overflow sanitizer
so that we can continue to make improvements on the compiler side to
make this sanitizer a more viable future security hardening option.

Pull x86 RFDS mitigation from Dave Hansen:
"RFDS is a CPU vulnerability that may allow a malicious userspace to
infer stale register values from kernel space. Kernel registers can
have all kinds of secrets in them so the mitigation is basically to
wait until the kernel is about to return to userspace and has user
values in the registers. At that point there is little chance of
kernel secrets ending up in the registers and the microarchitectural
state can be cleared.
This leverages some recent robustness fixes for the existing MDS
vulnerability. Both MDS and RFDS use the VERW instruction for
mitigation"

There's a new conflict with Linus's upstream tree, because
in the following merge conflict resolution in <asm/coco.h>:
38b334fc76 Merge tag 'x86_sev_for_v6.9_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Linus has resolved the conflicting placement of 'cc_mask' better
than the original commit:
1c811d403a x86/sev: Fix position dependent variable references in startup code
... which was also done by an internal merge resolution:
2e5fc4786b Merge branch 'x86/sev' into x86/boot, to resolve conflicts and to pick up dependent tree
But Linus is right in 38b334fc76, the 'cc_mask' declaration is sufficient
within the #ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CC_PLATFORM block.
So instead of forcing Linus to do the same resolution again, merge in Linus's
tree and follow his conflict resolution.

RFDS is a CPU vulnerability that may allow userspace to infer kernel
stale data previously used in floating point registers, vector registers
and integer registers. RFDS only affects certain Intel Atom processors.
Intel released a microcode update that uses VERW instruction to clear
the affected CPU buffers. Unlike MDS, none of the affected cores support
SMT.
Add RFDS bug infrastructure and enable the VERW based mitigation by
default, that clears the affected buffers just before exiting to
userspace. Also add sysfs reporting and cmdline parameter
"reg_file_data_sampling" to control the mitigation.

amd_e400_idle(), the idle routine for AMD CPUs which are affected by
erratum 400 violates the RCU constraints by invoking tick_broadcast_enter()
and tick_broadcast_exit() after the core code has marked RCU non-idle. The
functions can end up in lockdep or tracing, which rightfully triggers a
RCU warning.
The core code provides now a static branch conditional invocation of the
broadcast functions.
Remove amd_e400_idle(), enforce default_idle() and enable the static branch
on affected CPUs to cure this.

Patch series "Split crash out from kexec and clean up related config
items", v3.
Motivation:
=============
Previously, LKP reported a building error. When investigating, it can't
be resolved reasonablly with the present messy kdump config items.
https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202312182200.Ka7MzifQ-lkp@intel.com/
The kdump (crash dumping) related config items could causes confusions:
Firstly,
CRASH_CORE enables codes including
- crashkernel reservation;
- elfcorehdr updating;
- vmcoreinfo exporting;
- crash hotplug handling;
Now fadump of powerpc, kcore dynamic debugging and kdump all selects
CRASH_CORE, while fadump
- fadump needs crashkernel parsing, vmcoreinfo exporting, and accessing
global variable 'elfcorehdr_addr';
- kcore only needs vmcoreinfo exporting;
- kdump needs all of the current kernel/crash_core.c.
So only enabling PROC_CORE or FA_DUMP will enable CRASH_CORE, this
mislead people that we enable crash dumping, actual it's not.
Secondly,
It's not reasonable to allow KEXEC_CORE select CRASH_CORE.
Because KEXEC_CORE enables codes which allocate control pages, copy
kexec/kdump segments, and prepare for switching. These codes are
shared by both kexec reboot and kdump. We could want kexec reboot,
but disable kdump. In that case, CRASH_CORE should not be selected.
--------------------
CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y
---------------------
Thirdly,
It's not reasonable to allow CRASH_DUMP select KEXEC_CORE.
That could make KEXEC_CORE, CRASH_DUMP are enabled independently from
KEXEC or KEXEC_FILE. However, w/o KEXEC or KEXEC_FILE, the KEXEC_CORE
code built in doesn't make any sense because no kernel loading or
switching will happen to utilize the KEXEC_CORE code.
---------------------
CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
---------------------
In this case, what is worse, on arch sh and arm, KEXEC relies on MMU,
while CRASH_DUMP can still be enabled when !MMU, then compiling error is
seen as the lkp test robot reported in above link.
------arch/sh/Kconfig------
config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC
def_bool MMU
config ARCH_SUPPORTS_CRASH_DUMP
def_bool BROKEN_ON_SMP
---------------------------
Changes:
===========
1, split out crash_reserve.c from crash_core.c;
2, split out vmcore_infoc. from crash_core.c;
3, move crash related codes in kexec_core.c into crash_core.c;
4, remove dependency of FA_DUMP on CRASH_DUMP;
5, clean up kdump related config items;
6, wrap up crash codes in crash related ifdefs on all 8 arch-es
which support crash dumping, except of ppc;
Achievement:
===========
With above changes, I can rearrange the config item logic as below (the right
item depends on or is selected by the left item):
PROC_KCORE -----------> VMCORE_INFO
|----------> VMCORE_INFO
FA_DUMP----|
|----------> CRASH_RESERVE
---->VMCORE_INFO
/
|---->CRASH_RESERVE
KEXEC --| /|
|--> KEXEC_CORE--> CRASH_DUMP-->/-|---->PROC_VMCORE
KEXEC_FILE --| \ |
\---->CRASH_HOTPLUG
KEXEC --|
|--> KEXEC_CORE (for kexec reboot only)
KEXEC_FILE --|
Test
========
On all 8 architectures, including x86_64, arm64, s390x, sh, arm, mips,
riscv, loongarch, I did below three cases of config item setting and
building all passed. Take configs on x86_64 as exampmle here:
(1) Both CONFIG_KEXEC and KEXEC_FILE is unset, then all kexec/kdump
items are unset automatically:
# Kexec and crash features
# CONFIG_KEXEC is not set
# CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE is not set
# end of Kexec and crash features
(2) set CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE and 'make olddefconfig':
---------------
# Kexec and crash features
CONFIG_CRASH_RESERVE=y
CONFIG_VMCORE_INFO=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
CONFIG_CRASH_HOTPLUG=y
CONFIG_CRASH_MAX_MEMORY_RANGES=8192
# end of Kexec and crash features
---------------
(3) unset CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP in case 2 and execute 'make olddefconfig':
------------------------
# Kexec and crash features
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y
# end of Kexec and crash features
------------------------
Note:
For ppc, it needs investigation to make clear how to split out crash
code in arch folder. Hope Hari and Pingfan can help have a look, see if
it's doable. Now, I make it either have both kexec and crash enabled, or
disable both of them altogether.
This patch (of 14):
Both kdump and fa_dump of ppc rely on crashkernel reservation. Move the
relevant codes into separate files: crash_reserve.c,
include/linux/crash_reserve.h.
And also add config item CRASH_RESERVE to control its enabling of the
codes. And update config items which has relationship with crashkernel
reservation.
And also change ifdeffery from CONFIG_CRASH_CORE to CONFIG_CRASH_RESERVE
when those scopes are only crashkernel reservation related.
And also rename arch/XXX/include/asm/{crash_core.h => crash_reserve.h} on
arm64, x86 and risc-v because those architectures' crash_core.h is only
related to crashkernel reservation.

A relocatable kernel will relocate itself to pref_address if it is
loaded below pref_address. This means a booted kernel may be relocating
itself to an area with reserved memory on modern systems, potentially
clobbering arbitrary data that may be important to the system.
This is often the case, as the default value of PHYSICAL_START is
0x1000000 and kernels are typically loaded at 0x100000 or above by
bootloaders like iPXE or kexec. GRUB behaves like the approach
implemented here.
Also fixes the documentation around pref_address and PHYSICAL_START to
be accurate.

Pull x86 TDX updates from Dave Hansen:
"This contains the initial support for host-side TDX support so that
KVM can run TDX-protected guests. This does not include the actual
KVM-side support which will come from the KVM folks. The TDX host
interactions with kexec also needs to be ironed out before this is
ready for prime time, so this code is currently Kconfig'd off when
kexec is on.
The majority of the code here is the kernel telling the TDX module
which memory to protect and handing some additional memory over to it
to use to store TDX module metadata. That sounds pretty simple, but
the TDX architecture is rather flexible and it takes quite a bit of
back-and-forth to say, "just protect all memory, please."
There is also some code tacked on near the end of the series to handle
a hardware erratum. The erratum can make software bugs such as a
kernel write to TDX-protected memory cause a machine check and
masquerade as a real hardware failure. The erratum handling watches
out for these and tries to provide nicer user errors"

Here are the set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.8-rc1. Nothing
major in here this release cycle, just lots of small cleanups and some
tweaks on kernfs that in the very end, got reverted and will come back
in a safer way next release cycle.
Included in here are:
- more driver core 'const' cleanups and fixes
- fw_devlink=rpm is now the default behavior
- kernfs tiny changes to remove some string functions
- cpu handling in the driver core is updated to work better on many
systems that add topologies and cpus after booting
- other minor changes and cleanups
All of the cpu handling patches have been acked by the respective
maintainers and are coming in here in one series. Everything has been
in linux-next for a while with no reported issues.

So the CPU mitigations Kconfig entries - there's 10 meanwhile - are named
in a historically idiosyncratic and hence rather inconsistent fashion
and have become hard to relate with each other over the years:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20231011044252.42bplzjsam3qsasz@treble/
When they were introduced we never expected that we'd eventually have
about a dozen of them, and that more organization would be useful,
especially for Linux distributions that want to enable them in an
informed fashion, and want to make sure all mitigations are configured
as expected.
For example, the current CONFIG_SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS namespace is only
halfway populated, where some mitigations have entries in Kconfig, and
they could be modified, while others mitigations do not have Kconfig entries,
and can not be controlled at build time.
Fine-grained control over these Kconfig entries can help in a number of ways:
1) Users can choose and pick only mitigations that are important for
their workloads.
2) Users and developers can choose to disable mitigations that mangle
the assembly code generation, making it hard to read.
3) Separate Kconfigs for just source code readability,
so that we see *which* butt-ugly piece of crap code is for what
reason...
In most cases, if a mitigation is disabled at compilation time, it
can still be enabled at runtime using kernel command line arguments.
This is the first patch of an initial series that renames various
mitigation related Kconfig options, unifying them under a single
CONFIG_MITIGATION_* namespace:
CONFIG_GDS_FORCE_MITIGATION => CONFIG_MITIGATION_GDS_FORCE
CONFIG_CPU_IBPB_ENTRY => CONFIG_MITIGATION_IBPB_ENTRY
CONFIG_CALL_DEPTH_TRACKING => CONFIG_MITIGATION_CALL_DEPTH_TRACKING
CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION => CONFIG_MITIGATION_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION
CONFIG_RETPOLINE => CONFIG_MITIGATION_RETPOLINE
CONFIG_SLS => CONFIG_MITIGATION_SLS
CONFIG_CPU_UNRET_ENTRY => CONFIG_MITIGATION_UNRET_ENTRY
CONFIG_CPU_IBRS_ENTRY => CONFIG_MITIGATION_IBRS_ENTRY
CONFIG_CPU_SRSO => CONFIG_MITIGATION_SRSO
CONFIG_RETHUNK => CONFIG_MITIGATION_RETHUNK
Implement step 1/10 of the namespace unification of CPU mitigations related
Kconfig options and rename CONFIG_GDS_FORCE_MITIGATION to
CONFIG_MITIGATION_GDS_FORCE.

Merge tag 'slab-for-6.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab
Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
- SLUB: delayed freezing of CPU partial slabs (Chengming Zhou)
Freezing is an operation involving double_cmpxchg() that makes a slab
exclusive for a particular CPU. Chengming noticed that we use it also
in situations where we are not yet installing the slab as the CPU
slab, because freezing also indicates that the slab is not on the
shared list. This results in redundant freeze/unfreeze operation and
can be avoided by marking separately the shared list presence by
reusing the PG_workingset flag.
This approach neatly avoids the issues described in 9b1ea29bc0
("Revert "mm, slub: consider rest of partial list if acquire_slab()
fails"") as we can now grab a slab from the shared list in a quick
and guaranteed way without the cmpxchg_double() operation that
amplifies the lock contention and can fail.
As a result, lkp has reported 34.2% improvement of
stress-ng.rawudp.ops_per_sec
- SLAB removal and SLUB cleanups (Vlastimil Babka)
The SLAB allocator has been deprecated since 6.5 and nobody has
objected so far. We agreed at LSF/MM to wait until the next LTS,
which is 6.6, so we should be good to go now.
This doesn't yet erase all traces of SLAB outside of mm/ so some dead
code, comments or documentation remain, and will be cleaned up
gradually (some series are already in the works).
Removing the choice of allocators has already allowed to simplify and
optimize the code wiring up the kmalloc APIs to the SLUB
implementation.

Patch series "mm/mglru: Kconfig cleanup", v4.
This series is the result of the following discussion:
https://lore.kernel.org/47066176-bd93-55dd-c2fa-002299d9e034@linux.ibm.com/
It mainly avoids building the code that walks page tables on CPUs that
use it, i.e., those don't support hardware accessed bit. Specifically,
it introduces a new Kconfig to guard some of functions added by
commit bd74fdaea1 ("mm: multi-gen LRU: support page table walks")
on CPUs like POWER9, on which the series was tested.
This patch (of 5):
Some architectures are able to set the accessed bit in PTEs when PTEs
are used as part of linear address translations.
Add CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_HW_PTE_YOUNG for such architectures to be able to
override arch_has_hw_pte_young().

The cleanup for the CONFIG_KEXEC Kconfig logic accidentally changed the
'depends on CRYPTO=y' dependency to a plain 'depends on CRYPTO', which
causes a link failure when all the crypto support is in a loadable module
and kexec_file support is built-in:
x86_64-linux-ld: vmlinux.o: in function `__x64_sys_kexec_file_load':
(.text+0x32e30a): undefined reference to `crypto_alloc_shash'
x86_64-linux-ld: (.text+0x32e58e): undefined reference to `crypto_shash_update'
x86_64-linux-ld: (.text+0x32e6ee): undefined reference to `crypto_shash_final'
Both s390 and x86 have this problem, while ppc64 and riscv have the
correct dependency already. On riscv, the dependency is only used for the
purgatory, not for the kexec_file code itself, which may be a bit
surprising as it means that with CONFIG_CRYPTO=m, it is possible to enable
KEXEC_FILE but then the purgatory code is silently left out.
Move this into the common Kconfig.kexec file in a way that is correct
everywhere, using the dependency on CRYPTO_SHA256=y only when the
purgatory code is available. This requires reversing the dependency
between ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_PURGATORY and KEXEC_FILE, but the effect
remains the same, other than making riscv behave like the other ones.
On s390, there is an additional dependency on CRYPTO_SHA256_S390, which
should technically not be required but gives better performance. Remove
this dependency here, noting that it was not present in the initial
Kconfig code but was brought in without an explanation in commit
71406883fd ("s390/kexec_file: Add kexec_file_load system call").

While looking at a Xen Kconfig dependency issue, I tried to understand the
exact dependencies for CONFIG_X86_PAE, which is selected by CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G
but can also be enabled manually.
Apparently the dependencies for CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G are strictly about CPUs
that do support PAE, but the actual feature can be incorrectly enabled on
older CPUs as well. The CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG64 dependencies on the other hand
include X86_PAE because cmpxchg8b is requried for PAE to work.
Rework this for readability and correctness, using a positive list of CPUs
that support PAE in a new X86_HAVE_PAE symbol that can serve as a dependency
for both X86_PAE and HIGHMEM64G as well as simplify the X86_CMPXCHG64
dependency list.

A build failure was reported that when INTEL_TDX_HOST is enabled but
X86_MCE is not, the tdx_dump_mce_info() function fails to link:
ld: vmlinux.o: in function `tdx_dump_mce_info':
...: undefined reference to `mce_is_memory_error'
...: undefined reference to `mce_usable_address'
The reason is in such configuration, despite there's no caller of
tdx_dump_mce_info() it is still built and there's no implementation for
the two "mce_*()" functions.
Make INTEL_TDX_HOST depend on X86_MCE to fix.
It makes sense to enable MCE support for the TDX host anyway. Because
the only way that TDX has to report integrity errors is an MCE, and it
is not good to silently ignore such MCE. The TDX spec also suggests
the host VMM is expected to implement the MCE handler.
Note it also makes sense to make INTEL_TDX_HOST select X86_MCE but this
generates "recursive dependency detected!" error in the Kconfig.

Linus suggested that the kconfig here is confusing:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=wgUiAtiszwseM1p2fCJ+sC4XWQ+YN4TanFhUgvUqjr9Xw@mail.gmail.com/
Let's break it into three kconfigs controlling distinct things:
- CONFIG_IOMMU_MM_DATA controls if the mm_struct has the additional
fields for the IOMMU. Currently only PASID, but later patches store
a struct iommu_mm_data *
- CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CPU_PASID controls if the arch needs the scheduling bit
for keeping track of the ENQCMD instruction. x86 will select this if
IOMMU_SVA is enabled
- IOMMU_SVA controls if the IOMMU core compiles in the SVA support code
for iommu driver use and the IOMMU exported API
This way ARM will not enable CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CPU_PASID

The TDX module uses additional metadata to record things like which
guest "owns" a given page of memory. This metadata, referred as
Physical Address Metadata Table (PAMT), essentially serves as the
'struct page' for the TDX module. PAMTs are not reserved by hardware
up front. They must be allocated by the kernel and then given to the
TDX module during module initialization.
TDX supports 3 page sizes: 4K, 2M, and 1G. Each "TD Memory Region"
(TDMR) has 3 PAMTs to track the 3 supported page sizes. Each PAMT must
be a physically contiguous area from a Convertible Memory Region (CMR).
However, the PAMTs which track pages in one TDMR do not need to reside
within that TDMR but can be anywhere in CMRs. If one PAMT overlaps with
any TDMR, the overlapping part must be reported as a reserved area in
that particular TDMR.
Use alloc_contig_pages() since PAMT must be a physically contiguous area
and it may be potentially large (~1/256th of the size of the given TDMR).
The downside is alloc_contig_pages() may fail at runtime. One (bad)
mitigation is to launch a TDX guest early during system boot to get
those PAMTs allocated at early time, but the only way to fix is to add a
boot option to allocate or reserve PAMTs during kernel boot.
It is imperfect but will be improved on later.
TDX only supports a limited number of reserved areas per TDMR to cover
both PAMTs and memory holes within the given TDMR. If many PAMTs are
allocated within a single TDMR, the reserved areas may not be sufficient
to cover all of them.
Adopt the following policies when allocating PAMTs for a given TDMR:
- Allocate three PAMTs of the TDMR in one contiguous chunk to minimize
the total number of reserved areas consumed for PAMTs.
- Try to first allocate PAMT from the local node of the TDMR for better
NUMA locality.
Also dump out how many pages are allocated for PAMTs when the TDX module
is initialized successfully. This helps answer the eternal "where did
all my memory go?" questions.

Start to transit out the "multi-steps" to initialize the TDX module.
TDX provides increased levels of memory confidentiality and integrity.
This requires special hardware support for features like memory
encryption and storage of memory integrity checksums. Not all memory
satisfies these requirements.
As a result, TDX introduced the concept of a "Convertible Memory Region"
(CMR). During boot, the firmware builds a list of all of the memory
ranges which can provide the TDX security guarantees. The list of these
ranges is available to the kernel by querying the TDX module.
CMRs tell the kernel which memory is TDX compatible. The kernel needs
to build a list of memory regions (out of CMRs) as "TDX-usable" memory
and pass them to the TDX module. Once this is done, those "TDX-usable"
memory regions are fixed during module's lifetime.
To keep things simple, assume that all TDX-protected memory will come
from the page allocator. Make sure all pages in the page allocator
*are* TDX-usable memory.
As TDX-usable memory is a fixed configuration, take a snapshot of the
memory configuration from memblocks at the time of module initialization
(memblocks are modified on memory hotplug). This snapshot is used to
enable TDX support for *this* memory configuration only. Use a memory
hotplug notifier to ensure that no other RAM can be added outside of
this configuration.
This approach requires all memblock memory regions at the time of module
initialization to be TDX convertible memory to work, otherwise module
initialization will fail in a later SEAMCALL when passing those regions
to the module. This approach works when all boot-time "system RAM" is
TDX convertible memory and no non-TDX-convertible memory is hot-added
to the core-mm before module initialization.
For instance, on the first generation of TDX machines, both CXL memory
and NVDIMM are not TDX convertible memory. Using kmem driver to hot-add
any CXL memory or NVDIMM to the core-mm before module initialization
will result in failure to initialize the module. The SEAMCALL error
code will be available in the dmesg to help user to understand the
failure.
