Documentation: trace: historgram-design: Separate sched_waking histogram section heading and the following diagram

2025-10-15T10:00:13+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8c716e87ea33519920811338100d6d8a7fb32456 ] Section heading for sched_waking histogram is shown as normal paragraph instead due to codeblock marker for the following diagram being in the same line as the section underline. Separate them.

platform/x86: lg-laptop: Fix WMAB call in fan_mode_store()

2025-10-02T11:44:12+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3ed17349f18774c24505b0c21dfbd3cc4f126518 ] When WMAB is called to set the fan mode, the new mode is read from either bits 0-1 or bits 4-5 (depending on the value of some other EC register). Thus when WMAB is called with bits 4-5 zeroed and called again with bits 0-1 zeroed, the second call undoes the effect of the first call. This causes writes to /sys/devices/platform/lg-laptop/fan_mode to have no effect (and causes reads to always report a status of zero). Fix this by calling WMAB once, with the mode set in bits 0,1 and 4,5. When the fan mode is returned from WMAB it always has this form, so there is no need to preserve the other bits. As a bonus, the driver now supports the "Performance" fan mode seen in the LG-provided Windows control app, which provides less aggressive CPU throttling but louder fan noise and shorter battery life. Also, correct the documentation to reflect that 0 corresponds to the default mode (what the Windows app calls "Optimal") and 1 corresponds to the silent mode.

mptcp: pm: nl: announce deny-join-id0 flag

2025-09-25T09:13:50+00:00

commit 2293c57484ae64c9a3c847c8807db8c26a3a4d41 upstream. During the connection establishment, a peer can tell the other one that it cannot establish new subflows to the initial IP address and port by setting the 'C' flag [1]. Doing so makes sense when the sender is behind a strict NAT, operating behind a legacy Layer 4 load balancer, or using anycast IP address for example. When this 'C' flag is set, the path-managers must then not try to establish new subflows to the other peer's initial IP address and port. The in-kernel PM has access to this info, but the userspace PM didn't. The RFC8684 [1] is strict about that: (...) therefore the receiver MUST NOT try to open any additional subflows toward this address and port. So it is important to tell the userspace about that as it is responsible for the respect of this flag. When a new connection is created and established, the Netlink events now contain the existing but not currently used 'flags' attribute. When MPTCP_PM_EV_FLAG_DENY_JOIN_ID0 is set, it means no other subflows to the initial IP address and port -- info that are also part of the event -- can be established.

x86/bugs: KVM: Add support for SRSO_MSR_FIX

2025-09-25T09:13:49+00:00

commit 8442df2b49ed9bcd67833ad4f091d15ac91efd00 upstream. Add support for CPUID Fn8000_0021_EAX[31] (SRSO_MSR_FIX). If this bit is 1, it indicates that software may use MSR BP_CFG[BpSpecReduce] to mitigate SRSO. Enable BpSpecReduce to mitigate SRSO across guest/host boundaries. Switch back to enabling the bit when virtualization is enabled and to clear the bit when virtualization is disabled because using a MSR slot would clear the bit when the guest is exited and any training the guest has done, would potentially influence the host kernel when execution enters the kernel and hasn't VMRUN the guest yet. More detail on the public thread in Link below.
