<content type='text'>
commit 2c1f97a52cb827a5f2768e67a9dddffae1ed47ab upstream.

Because of the size restriction in the TCP options space, the MPTCP
ADD_ADDR option is exclusive and cannot be sent with other MPTCP ones.
For this reason, in the linked mptcp_out_options structure, group of
fields linked to different options are part of the same union.

There is a case where the mptcp_pm_add_addr_signal() function can modify
opts-&gt;addr, but not ended up sending an ADD_ADDR. Later on, back in
mptcp_established_options, other options will be sent, but with
unexpected data written in other fields due to the union, e.g. in
opts-&gt;ext_copy. This could lead to a data stream corruption in the next
packet.

Using an intermediate variable, prevents from corrupting previously
established DSS option. The assignment of the ADD_ADDR option
parameters is now done once we are sure this ADD_ADDR option can be set
in the packet, e.g. after having dropped other suboptions.

<id>urn:sha1:6a09c24b672f98766e1ec152ee55517da0817ac6</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 76f970ce51c80f625eb6ddbb24e9cb51b977b598 upstream.

This reverts commit eff6c8ce8d4d7faef75f66614dd20bb50595d261.

Hazem reported a 30% drop in UnixBench spawn test with commit
eff6c8ce8d4d ("sched/core: Reduce cost of sched_move_task when config
autogroup") on a m6g.xlarge AWS EC2 instance with 4 vCPUs and 16 GiB RAM
(aarch64) (single level MC sched domain):

  https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20250205151026.13061-1-hagarhem@amazon.com

There is an early bail from sched_move_task() if p-&gt;sched_task_group is
equal to p's 'cpu cgroup' (sched_get_task_group()). E.g. both are
pointing to taskgroup '/user.slice/user-1000.slice/session-1.scope'
(Ubuntu '22.04.5 LTS').

So in:

  do_exit()

    sched_autogroup_exit_task()

      sched_move_task()

        if sched_get_task_group(p) == p-&gt;sched_task_group
          return

        /* p is enqueued */
        dequeue_task()              \
        sched_change_group()        |
          task_change_group_fair()  |
            detach_task_cfs_rq()    |                              (1)
            set_task_rq()           |
            attach_task_cfs_rq()    |
        enqueue_task()              /

(1) isn't called for p anymore.

Turns out that the regression is related to sgs-&gt;group_util in
group_is_overloaded() and group_has_capacity(). If (1) isn't called for
all the 'spawn' tasks then sgs-&gt;group_util is ~900 and
sgs-&gt;group_capacity = 1024 (single CPU sched domain) and this leads to
group_is_overloaded() returning true (2) and group_has_capacity() false
(3) much more often compared to the case when (1) is called.

I.e. there are much more cases of 'group_is_overloaded' and
'group_fully_busy' in WF_FORK wakeup sched_balance_find_dst_cpu() which
then returns much more often a CPU != smp_processor_id() (5).

This isn't good for these extremely short running tasks (FORK + EXIT)
and also involves calling sched_balance_find_dst_group_cpu() unnecessary
(single CPU sched domain).

Instead if (1) is called for 'p-&gt;flags &amp; PF_EXITING' then the path
(4),(6) is taken much more often.

  select_task_rq_fair(..., wake_flags = WF_FORK)

    cpu = smp_processor_id()

    new_cpu = sched_balance_find_dst_cpu(..., cpu, ...)

      group = sched_balance_find_dst_group(..., cpu)

        do {

          update_sg_wakeup_stats()

            sgs-&gt;group_type = group_classify()

              if group_is_overloaded()                             (2)
                return group_overloaded

              if !group_has_capacity()                             (3)
                return group_fully_busy

              return group_has_spare                               (4)

        } while group

        if local_sgs.group_type &gt; idlest_sgs.group_type
          return idlest                                            (5)

        case group_has_spare:

          if local_sgs.idle_cpus &gt;= idlest_sgs.idle_cpus
            return NULL                                            (6)

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 59419f10045bc955d2229819c7cf7a8b0b9c5b59 ]

In non-protected KVM modes, while the guest FPSIMD/SVE/SME state is live on the
CPU, the host's active SVE VL may differ from the guest's maximum SVE VL:

* For VHE hosts, when a VM uses NV, ZCR_EL2 contains a value constrained
  by the guest hypervisor, which may be less than or equal to that
  guest's maximum VL.

  Note: in this case the value of ZCR_EL1 is immaterial due to E2H.

* For nVHE/hVHE hosts, ZCR_EL1 contains a value written by the guest,
  which may be less than or greater than the guest's maximum VL.

  Note: in this case hyp code traps host SVE usage and lazily restores
  ZCR_EL2 to the host's maximum VL, which may be greater than the
  guest's maximum VL.

This can be the case between exiting a guest and kvm_arch_vcpu_put_fp().
If a softirq is taken during this period and the softirq handler tries
to use kernel-mode NEON, then the kernel will fail to save the guest's
FPSIMD/SVE state, and will pend a SIGKILL for the current thread.

This happens because kvm_arch_vcpu_ctxsync_fp() binds the guest's live
FPSIMD/SVE state with the guest's maximum SVE VL, and
fpsimd_save_user_state() verifies that the live SVE VL is as expected
before attempting to save the register state:

| if (WARN_ON(sve_get_vl() != vl)) {
|         force_signal_inject(SIGKILL, SI_KERNEL, 0, 0);
|         return;
| }

Fix this and make this a bit easier to reason about by always eagerly
switching ZCR_EL{1,2} at hyp during guest&lt;-&gt;host transitions. With this
happening, there's no need to trap host SVE usage, and the nVHE/nVHE
__deactivate_cptr_traps() logic can be simplified to enable host access
to all present FPSIMD/SVE/SME features.

In protected nVHE/hVHE modes, the host's state is always saved/restored
by hyp, and the guest's state is saved prior to exit to the host, so
from the host's PoV the guest never has live FPSIMD/SVE/SME state, and
the host's ZCR_EL1 is never clobbered by hyp.

Fixes: 8c8010d69c132273 ("KVM: arm64: Save/restore SVE state for nVHE")
Fixes: 2e3cf82063a00ea0 ("KVM: arm64: nv: Ensure correct VL is loaded before saving SVE state")

<title>KVM: arm64: Mark some header functions as inline</title>

[ Upstream commit f9dd00de1e53a47763dfad601635d18542c3836d ]

The shared hyp switch header has a number of static functions which
might not be used by all files that include the header, and when unused
they will provoke compiler warnings, e.g.

| In file included from arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/hyp-main.c:8:
| ./arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/include/hyp/switch.h:703:13: warning: 'kvm_hyp_handle_dabt_low' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]

|       |             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| ./arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/include/hyp/switch.h:682:13: warning: 'kvm_hyp_handle_cp15_32' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]

| ./arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/include/hyp/switch.h:662:13: warning: 'kvm_hyp_handle_sysreg' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
|   662 | static bool kvm_hyp_handle_sysreg(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, u64 *exit_code)
|       |             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| ./arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/include/hyp/switch.h:458:13: warning: 'kvm_hyp_handle_fpsimd' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
|   458 | static bool kvm_hyp_handle_fpsimd(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, u64 *exit_code)
|       |             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

|   329 | static bool kvm_hyp_handle_mops(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, u64 *exit_code)
|       |             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mark these functions as 'inline' to suppress this warning. This
shouldn't result in any functional change.

At the same time, avoid the use of __alias() in the header and alias
kvm_hyp_handle_iabt_low() and kvm_hyp_handle_watchpt_low() to
kvm_hyp_handle_memory_fault() using CPP, matching the style in the rest
of the kernel. For consistency, kvm_hyp_handle_memory_fault() is also
marked as 'inline'.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 9b66195063c5a145843547b1d692bd189be85287 ]

The hyp exit handling logic is largely shared between VHE and nVHE/hVHE,
with common logic in arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/include/hyp/switch.h. The code
in the header depends on function definitions provided by
arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/vhe/switch.c and arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/switch.c
when they include the header.

This is an unusual header dependency, and prevents the use of
arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/include/hyp/switch.h in other files as this would
result in compiler warnings regarding missing definitions, e.g.

| In file included from arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/hyp-main.c:8:
| ./arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/include/hyp/switch.h:733:31: warning: 'kvm_get_exit_handler_array' used but never defined
|   733 | static const exit_handler_fn *kvm_get_exit_handler_array(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu);
|       |                               ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| ./arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/include/hyp/switch.h:735:13: warning: 'early_exit_filter' used but never defined
|   735 | static void early_exit_filter(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, u64 *exit_code);
|       |             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Refactor the logic such that the header doesn't depend on anything from
the C files. There should be no functional change as a result of this
patch.

<title>KVM: arm64: Remove VHE host restore of CPACR_EL1.SMEN</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 407a99c4654e8ea65393f412c421a55cac539f5b ]

When KVM is in VHE mode, the host kernel tries to save and restore the
configuration of CPACR_EL1.SMEN (i.e. CPTR_EL2.SMEN when HCR_EL2.E2H=1)
across kvm_arch_vcpu_load_fp() and kvm_arch_vcpu_put_fp(), since the
configuration may be clobbered by hyp when running a vCPU. This logic
has historically been broken, and is currently redundant.

This logic was originally introduced in commit:

  861262ab86270206 ("KVM: arm64: Handle SME host state when running guests")

At the time, the VHE hyp code would reset CPTR_EL2.SMEN to 0b00 when
returning to the host, trapping host access to SME state. Unfortunately,
this was unsafe as the host could take a softirq before calling
kvm_arch_vcpu_put_fp(), and if a softirq handler were to use kernel mode
NEON the resulting attempt to save the live FPSIMD/SVE/SME state would
result in a fatal trap.

That issue was limited to VHE mode. For nVHE/hVHE modes, KVM always
saved/restored the host kernel's CPACR_EL1 value, and configured
CPTR_EL2.TSM to 0b0, ensuring that host usage of SME would not be
trapped.

The issue above was incidentally fixed by commit:

  375110ab51dec5dc ("KVM: arm64: Fix resetting SME trap values on reset for (h)VHE")

That commit changed the VHE hyp code to configure CPTR_EL2.SMEN to 0b01
when returning to the host, permitting host kernel usage of SME,
avoiding the issue described above. At the time, this was not identified
as a fix for commit 861262ab86270206.

Now that the host eagerly saves and unbinds its own FPSIMD/SVE/SME
state, there's no need to save/restore the state of the EL0 SME trap.
The kernel can safely save/restore state without trapping, as described
above, and will restore userspace state (including trap controls) before
returning to userspace.

Remove the redundant logic.

<title>KVM: arm64: Remove VHE host restore of CPACR_EL1.ZEN</title>

[ Upstream commit 459f059be702056d91537b99a129994aa6ccdd35 ]

When KVM is in VHE mode, the host kernel tries to save and restore the
configuration of CPACR_EL1.ZEN (i.e. CPTR_EL2.ZEN when HCR_EL2.E2H=1)
across kvm_arch_vcpu_load_fp() and kvm_arch_vcpu_put_fp(), since the
configuration may be clobbered by hyp when running a vCPU. This logic is
currently redundant.

The VHE hyp code unconditionally configures CPTR_EL2.ZEN to 0b01 when
returning to the host, permitting host kernel usage of SVE.

Now that the host eagerly saves and unbinds its own FPSIMD/SVE/SME
state, there's no need to save/restore the state of the EL0 SVE trap.
The kernel can safely save/restore state without trapping, as described
above, and will restore userspace state (including trap controls) before
returning to userspace.

Remove the redundant logic.

[ Upstream commit 8eca7f6d5100b6997df4f532090bc3f7e0203bef ]

Now that the host eagerly saves its own FPSIMD/SVE/SME state,
non-protected KVM never needs to save the host FPSIMD/SVE/SME state,
and the code to do this is never used. Protected KVM still needs to
save/restore the host FPSIMD/SVE state to avoid leaking guest state to
the host (and to avoid revealing to the host whether the guest used
FPSIMD/SVE/SME), and that code needs to be retained.

Remove the unused code and data structures.

To avoid the need for a stub copy of kvm_hyp_save_fpsimd_host() in the
VHE hyp code, the nVHE/hVHE version is moved into the shared switch
header, where it is only invoked when KVM is in protected mode.

<title>KVM: arm64: Unconditionally save+flush host FPSIMD/SVE/SME state</title>

[ Upstream commit fbc7e61195e23f744814e78524b73b59faa54ab4 ]

There are several problems with the way hyp code lazily saves the host's
FPSIMD/SVE state, including:

* Host SVE being discarded unexpectedly due to inconsistent
  configuration of TIF_SVE and CPACR_ELx.ZEN. This has been seen to
  result in QEMU crashes where SVE is used by memmove(), as reported by
  Eric Auger:

  https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-68997

* Host SVE state is discarded *after* modification by ptrace, which was an
  unintentional ptrace ABI change introduced with lazy discarding of SVE state.

* The host FPMR value can be discarded when running a non-protected VM,
  where FPMR support is not exposed to a VM, and that VM uses
  FPSIMD/SVE. In these cases the hyp code does not save the host's FPMR
  before unbinding the host's FPSIMD/SVE/SME state, leaving a stale
  value in memory.

Avoid these by eagerly saving and "flushing" the host's FPSIMD/SVE/SME
state when loading a vCPU such that KVM does not need to save any of the
host's FPSIMD/SVE/SME state. For clarity, fpsimd_kvm_prepare() is
removed and the necessary call to fpsimd_save_and_flush_cpu_state() is
placed in kvm_arch_vcpu_load_fp(). As 'fpsimd_state' and 'fpmr_ptr'
should not be used, they are set to NULL; all uses of these will be
removed in subsequent patches.

Historical problems go back at least as far as v5.17, e.g. erroneous
assumptions about TIF_SVE being clear in commit:

  8383741ab2e773a9 ("KVM: arm64: Get rid of host SVE tracking/saving")

... and so this eager save+flush probably needs to be backported to ALL
stable trees.

Fixes: 93ae6b01bafee8fa ("KVM: arm64: Discard any SVE state when entering KVM guests")
Fixes: 8c845e2731041f0f ("arm64/sve: Leave SVE enabled on syscall if we don't context switch")
Fixes: ef3be86021c3bdf3 ("KVM: arm64: Add save/restore support for FPMR")
