Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini: "arm64: This is a bit of an odd merge window on the KVM/arm64 front. There is absolutely no new feature in the pull request. It is purely fixes, because it is simply becoming too hard to review new stuff when so many AI-fuelled fixes hit the list. - Significant cleanup of the vgic-v5 PPI support which was merged in 7.1. This makes the code more maintainable, and squashes a couple of bugs in the meantime - Set of fixes for the handling of the MMU in an NV context, particularly VNCR-triggered faults. S1POE support is fixed as well - Large set of pKVM fixes, mostly addressing recurring issues around hypervisor tracking of donated pages in obscure cases where the donation could fail and leave things in a bizarre state - Fixes for the so-called "lazy vgic init", which resulted in sleeping operations in non-preemptible sections. This turned out to be far more invasive than initially expected.. - Reduce the overhead of L1/L2 context switch by not touching the FP registers - Fix the way non-implemented page sizes are dealt with when a guest insist on using them for S2 translation - The usual set of low-impact fixes and cleanups all over the map Loongarch: - On a request for lazy FPU load, load all FPU state that the VM supports instead of enabling only the part (FPU, LSX or LASX) that caused the FPU load request - Some enhancements about interrupt injection - Some bug fixes and other small changes RISC-V: - Batch G-stage TLB flushes for GPA range based page table updates - Convert HGEI line management to fully per-HART - Fix missing CSR dirty marking when FWFT state updated via ONE_REG - Fix stale FWFT feature exposure to Guest/VM - Speed up dirty logging write faults using MMU rwlock and atomic PTE updates using cmpxchg() for permission-only changes - Use flexible array for APLIC IRQ state - Use kvm_slot_dirty_track_enabled() for logging enable check on a memslot - Avoid skipping valid pages in kvm_riscv_gstage_wp_range() - Avoid skipping valid pages in kvm_riscv_gstage_unmap_range() - Use endian-specific __lelong for NACL shared memory S390: - KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY support - Support for 2G hugepages - Support for the ASTFLEIE 2 facility - Support for fast inject using kvm_arch_set_irq_inatomic - Fix potential leak of uninitialized bytes - A few more misc gmap fixes x86: - Generic support for the more granular permissions allowed by EPT, namely "read" (which was previously usurping the U bit) and separate execution bits for kernel and userspace - Do not assume that all page tables start with U=1/W=1/NX=0 at the root, as AMD GMET needs to have U=0 at the root - Introduce common assembly macros for use within Intel and AMD vendor-specific vmentry code. This touches the SPEC_CTRL handling, which is now entirely done in assembly for Intel (by reusing the AMD code that already existed), and register save/restore which uses some macro magic to compute the offsets in the struct. Both of these are preparatory changes for upcoming APX support - Clean up KVM's register tracking and storage, primarily to prepare for APX support, which expands the maximum number of GPRs from 16 to 32 - Keep a single copy of the PDPTRs rather than two, since architecturally there is just one - Handle EXIT_FASTPATH_EXIT_USERSPACE in vendor code to ensure vendor code gets a chance to handle things like reaping the PML buffer - Update KVM's view of PV async enabling if and only if the MSR write fully succeeds - Fix a variety of issues where the emulator doesn't honor guest-debug state, and clean up related code along the way - Synthesize EPT Violation and #NPF "error code" bits when injecting faults into L1 that didn't originate in hardware (in which case the VMCS/VMCB doesn't hold relevant information) - Add support for virtualizing (well, emulating) AMD's flavor of CPL>0 CPUID faulting - Clean up the GPR APIs so that KVM's use of "raw" is consistent, and fix a variety of minor bugs along the way - Fix an OOB memory access due to not checking the VP ID when handling a Hyper-V PV TLB flush for L2 - Fix a bug in the mediated PMU's handling of fixed counters that allowed the guest to bypass the PMU event filter - Allow userspace to return EAGAIN when handling SNP and TDX hypercalls, so the KVM can forward a "retry" status code to the guest, and reserve all unused error codes for future usage - Overhaul the TDP MMU => S-EPT code to move as much S-EPT specific logic as possible into the TDX code, and to funnel (almost) all S-EPT updates into a single chokepoint. The motivation is largely to prepare for upcoming Dynamic PAMT support, but the cleanups are nice to have on their own - Plug a hole in shadow page table handling, where KVM fails to recursively zap nested EPT/NPT shadow page tables when the nested hypervisor tears down its own EPT/NPT page tables from the bottom up x86 (Intel): - Support for nested MBEC (Mode-Based Execute Control), see above in the generic section; also run with MBEC enabled even for non-nested mode - Use the kernel's "enum pg_level" in the TDX APIs instead of the TDX-Module's level definitions (which are 0-based) - Rework the TDX memory APIs to not require/assume that guest memory is backed by "struct page" (in prepartion for guest_memfd hugepage support) - Fix a largely benign bug where KVM TDX would incorrectly state it could emulate several x2APIC MSRs - Use the "safe" WRMSR API when proxying LBR MSR writes as the to-be-written value is guest controlled and completely unvalidated x86 (AMD): - Support for nested GMET (Guest Mode Execution Trap), see above in the generic section; also run with GMET enabled even for non-nested mode - Fixes and minor cleanups to GHCB handling, on top of the earlier work already merged into 7.1-rc - Ensure KVM's copy of CR0 and CR3 are up-to-date prior to invoking fastpath handlers - Add support for virtualizing gPAT (KVM previously just used L1's PAT when running L2) - Fix goofs where KVM mishandles side effects (e.g. single-step and PMC updates) when emulating VMRUN - Fix a variety of bugs in AVIC's handling of x2APIC MSR interception, most notably where KVM didn't disable interception of IRR, ISR, and TMR regs - Add support for virtualizing Host-Only/Guest-Only bits in the mediated PMU - Don't advertise support for unusable VM types, and account for VM types that are disabled by firmware, e.g. to mitigate security vulnerabilities - Rewrite the SEV {en,de}crypt debug ioctls as they were riddle with bugs and unnecessarily complicated, and add comprehensive tests - Clean up and deduplicate the SEV page pinning code - Fix minor goofs related to writing back CPUID information after firmware rejects a CPUID page for an SNP vCPU Generic: - Rename invalidate_begin() to invalidate_start() throughout KVM to follow the kernel's nomenclature, e.g. for mmu_notifiers - Use guard() to cleanup up various KVM+VFIO flows - Minor cleanups guest_memfd: - Return -EEXIST instead of -EINVAL if userspace attempts to bind a gmem range to multiple memslots, and fix the test that was supposed to ensure KVM returns -EEXIST - Treat memslot binding offsets and sizes as unsigned values to fix a bug where KVM interprets a large "offset + size" as a negative value and allows a nonsensical offset - Use the inode number instead of the page offset for the NUMA interleaving index to fix a bug where the effective index would jump by two for consecutive pages (the caller also adds in the page offset) Selftests: - Randomize the dirty log test's delay when reaping the bitmap on the first pass, as always waiting only 1ms hid a KVM RISC-V bug as the test reaped the bitmap before KVM could build up enough state to hit the bug - A pile of one-off fixes and cleanups" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (326 commits) KVM: x86/mmu: Ensure hugepage is in by slot before checking max mapping level KVM: x86: Fix shadow paging use-after-free due to unexpected role KVM: s390: Introducing kvm_arch_set_irq_inatomic fast inject KVM: s390: Enable adapter_indicators_set to use mapped pages KVM: s390: Add map/unmap ioctl and clean mappings post-guest riscv: kvm: Use endian-specific __lelong for NACL shared memory KVM: selftests: access_tracking_perf_test: bump number of NUMA nodes to 32 KVM: s390: vsie: Implement ASTFLEIE facility 2 KVM: s390: vsie: Refactor handle_stfle s390/sclp: Detect ASTFLEIE 2 facility KVM: s390: Minor refactor of base/ext facility lists KVM: x86/mmu: move pdptrs out of the MMU KVM: x86: check that kvm_handle_invpcid is only invoked with shadow paging KVM: nSVM: invalidate cached PDPTRs across nested NPT transitions KVM: nVMX: remove unnecessary code in prepare_vmcs02_rare KVM: x86: remove nested_mmu from mmu_is_nested() KVM: arm64: vgic-its: Make ABI commit helpers return void KVM: s390: Initialize KVM_S390_GET_CMMA_BITS memory LoongArch: KVM: Add missing slots_lock for device register/unregister LoongArch: KVM: Validate irqchip index in irqfd routing ...

Pull modules updates from Sami Tolvanen: - Add a missing return value check for module_extend_max_pages() to prevent a kernel oops on memory allocation failure. - Force sh_addr to 0 for architecture-specific module sections on arm, arm64, m68k, and riscv. This prevents non-zero section addresses when linking modules with ld.bfd -r, which may cause tools to misbehave and result in worse compressibility. - Replace pr_warn! with pr_warn_once! for set_param null pointer warnings in Rust abstractions, now that the _once variant is available. * tag 'modules-7.2-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/modules/linux: rust: module_param: add missing newline to pr_warn_once module: decompress: check return value of module_extend_max_pages() rust: module_param: use `pr_warn_once!` for null pointer warning module, riscv: force sh_addr=0 for arch-specific sections module, m68k: force sh_addr=0 for arch-specific sections module, arm64: force sh_addr=0 for arch-specific sections module, arm: force sh_addr=0 for arch-specific sections

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon: "It feels like the new world of AI tooling has slowed us down a little on the feature side when compared to the fixes side. The extra rounds of Sashiko review have also pushed a few things out until next time. Still, there's some good foundational stuff here for the fpsimd code and hardening work towards removing the predictable linear alias of the kernel image. CPU errata handling: - Extend CnP disabling workaround to HiSilicon HIP09 hardware. - Work around eternally broken broadcast TLB invalidation on more CPUs. - Documentation and code cleanups. CPU features: - Add new hwcaps for the 2025 dpISA extensions. Floating point / SVE / SME: - Significant cleanup to the low-level state management code in the core architecture code and KVM. - Use correct register widths during SVE/SME save/restore assembly. - Expose SVE/SME save/restore memory accesses to sanitisers. Memory management: - Preparatory work for unmapping the kernel data and bss sections from the linear map. Miscellaneous: - Inline DAIF manipulation helpers so they can be used safely from non-instrumentable code. - Fix handling of the 'nosmp' cmdline option to avoid marking secondary cores as "possible". MPAM: - Add support for v0.1 of the MPAM architecture. Perf: - Update HiSilicon PMU MAINTAINERS entry. - Fix event encodings for the DVM node in the CMN driver. Selftests: - Extend sigframe tests to cover POE context. - Add coverage for the newly added 2025 dpISA hwcaps. System registers: - Add new registers and ESR encodings for the HDBSS feature.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner: "Features: - Reduce pipe->mutex contention by pre-allocating pages outside the lock in anon_pipe_write(). anon_pipe_write() called alloc_page() once per page while holding pipe->mutex. The allocation can sleep doing direct reclaim and runs memcg charging, which extends the critical section and stalls any concurrent reader on the same mutex. Now up to 8 pages are pre-allocated before the mutex is taken, leftovers are recycled into the per-pipe tmp_page[] cache before unlock, and any remainder is released after unlock, keeping the allocator out of the critical section on both sides. On a writers x readers sweep with 64KB writes against a 1 MB pipe throughput improves 6-28% and average write latency drops 5-22%; under memory pressure - when the cost of holding the mutex across reclaim is highest - throughput improves 21-48% and latency drops 17-33%. The microbenchmark is added to selftests. - uaccess/sockptr: fix the ignored_trailing logic in copy_struct_to_user() to behave as documented and the usize check in copy_struct_from_sockptr() for user pointers, and add copy_struct_{from,to}_bounce_buffer() and copy_struct_to_sockptr() helpers for upcoming users (IPPROTO_SMBDIRECT, IPPROTO_QUIC). - bpf: add a sleepable bpf_real_inode() kfunc that resolves the real inode backing a dentry via d_real_inode(). On overlayfs the inode attached to the dentry doesn't carry the underlying device information; this is used by the filesystem restriction BPF program that was merged into systemd. - docs: add guidelines for submitting new filesystems, motivated by the maintenance burden abandoned and untestable filesystems impose on VFS developers, blocking infrastructure work like folio conversions and iomap migration. Fixes: - libfs: set SB_I_NOEXEC and SB_I_NODEV by default in init_pseudo() and drop the now-redundant assignments in callers. This began as a one-line dma-buf fix for a path_noexec() warning; a pseudo filesystem has no reason not to set SB_I_NOEXEC. All init_pseudo() callers were audited: the only visible effect is on dma-buf where SB_I_NOEXEC silences the warning. - Handle set_blocksize() failures in legacy filesystems (bfs, hpfs, qnx4, jfs, befs, affs, isofs, minix, ntfs3, omfs). Mounting a device with a sector size > PAGE_SIZE crashed roughly half of them; the rest had the same missing error handling pattern. Plus a follow-up releasing the superblock buffer_head when setting the minix v3 block size fails. - mount: honour SB_NOUSER in the new mount API. - fs/fcntl: fix a SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order in fasync signaling by switching the process-group paths of send_sigio() and send_sigurg() from read_lock(&tasklist_lock) to RCU, matching the single-PID path. - vfs: add an FS_USERNS_DELEGATABLE flag and set it for NFS, fixing delegated NFS mounts (fsopen() in a container with the mount performed by a privileged daemon) that broke when non-init s_user_ns was tied to FS_USERNS_MOUNT. - selftests/namespaces: fix a hang in nsid_test where an unreaped grandchild kept the TAP pipe write-end open, a waitpid(-1) race in listns_efault_test, and a false FAIL on kernels without listns() where the tests should SKIP. - filelock: fix the break_lease() stub signature for CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING=n. - init/initramfs_test: wait for the async initramfs unpacking before running; the test and do_populate_rootfs() share the parser state. - fs/coredump: reduce redundant log noise in validate_coredump_safety(). - iomap: pass the correct length to fserror_report_io() in __iomap_write_begin(). - backing-file: fix the backing_file_open() kerneldoc. Cleanups: - initramfs: refactor the cpio hex header parsing to use hex2bin() instead of the hand-rolled simple_strntoul() which is reverted, and extend the initramfs KUnit tests to cover header fields with 0x prefixes. - Replace __get_free_pages() and friends with kmalloc()/kzalloc() across quota, proc, ocfs2/dlm, nilfs2, nfs, nfsd, libfs, jfs, jbd2, isofs, fuse, select, namespace, configfs, binfmt_misc, bfs, and the do_mounts init code - part of the larger work of replacing page allocator calls with kmalloc(). - Use clear_and_wake_up_bit() in unlock_buffer() and journal_end_buffer_io_sync() instead of open-coding the sequence. - Drop unused VFS exports: unexport drop_super_exclusive(), remove start_removing_user_path_at(), and fold __start_removing_path() into start_removing_path(). - fs/read_write: narrow the __kernel_write() export with EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_MODULES(). - vfs: uapi: retire octal and hex constants in favor of (1 << n) for the O_ flags. Finding a free bit for a new flag across the architectures was needlessly hard with the mixed bases. - dcache: add extra sanity checks of dead dentries in dentry_free() via a new DENTRY_WARN_ONCE() that also prints d_flags. - iov_iter: use kmemdup_array() in dup_iter() to harden the allocation against multiplication overflow. - fs/pipe: write to ->poll_usage only once. - vfs: remove an always-taken if-branch in find_next_fd(). - dcache: use kmalloc_flex() for struct external_name in __d_alloc(). - namei: use QSTR() instead of QSTR_INIT() in path_pts(). - sync_file_range: delete dead S_ISLNK code. - Comment fixes: retire a stale comment in fget_task_next() and fix assorted spelling mistakes" * tag 'vfs-7.2-rc1.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (73 commits) backing-file: fix backing_file_open() kerneldoc parameter iomap: pass the correct len to fserror_report_io in __iomap_write_begin vfs: add FS_USERNS_DELEGATABLE flag and set it for NFS filelock: fix break_lease() stub signature for CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING=n vfs: uapi: retire octal and hex numbers in favor of (1 << n) for O_ flags bpf: add bpf_real_inode() kfunc fs/read_write: Do not export __kernel_write() to the entire world libfs: drop redundant SB_I_NOEXEC/SB_I_NODEV in init_pseudo() callers libfs: set SB_I_NOEXEC and SB_I_NODEV by default in init_pseudo() mount: honour SB_NOUSER in the new mount API fs/fcntl: fix SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order in fasync signaling selftests/pipe: add pipe_bench microbenchmark fs/pipe: pre-allocate pages outside pipe->mutex in anon_pipe_write fs: retire stale comment in fget_task_next() fs: fix spelling mistakes in comment bfs: replace get_zeroed_page() with kzalloc() binfmt_misc: replace __get_free_page() with kmalloc() configfs: replace __get_free_pages() with kzalloc() fs/namespace: use __getname() to allocate mntpath buffer fs/select: replace __get_free_page() with kmalloc() ...
