arm64: errata: Mitigate TLBI errata on Microsoft Azure Cobalt 100 CPU

2026-06-19T11:42:39+00:00

commit 1940e70a8144bf75e6df26bf6f600862ea7f7ea1 upstream. Commit fb091ff39479 ("arm64: Subscribe Microsoft Azure Cobalt 100 to ARM Neoverse N2 errata") states that Microsoft Azure Cobalt 100 CPU "is a Microsoft implemented CPU based on r0p0 of the ARM Neoverse N2 CPU, and therefore suffers from all the same errata.". So enable the workaround for the latest broadcast TLB invalidation bug on these parts.

arm64: errata: Mitigate TLBI errata on NVIDIA Olympus CPU

2026-06-19T11:42:38+00:00

commit ec7216f92e4ebd485b1c6dc6aa3f6064b71a5768 upstream. NVIDIA Olympus cores are affected by the TLBI completion issue tracked as CVE-2025-10263. The existing ARM64_ERRATUM_4118414 handling already uses ARM64_WORKAROUND_REPEAT_TLBI to issue an additional broadcast TLBI;DSB sequence and ensure affected memory write effects are globally observed. Add MIDR_NVIDIA_OLYMPUS to the repeat-TLBI match list so the same mitigation is enabled on affected Olympus systems. Also document the NVIDIA Olympus erratum in the arm64 silicon errata table and list it in the Kconfig help text.

arm64: errata: Mitigate TLBI errata on various Arm CPUs

2026-06-19T11:42:38+00:00

commit cfd391e74134db664feb499d43af286380b10ba8 upstream. A number of CPUs developed by Arm suffer from errata whereby a broadcast TLBI;DSB sequence may complete before the global observation of writes which are translated by an affected TLB entry. These errata ONLY affect the completion of memory accesses which have been translated by an invalidated TLB entry, and these errata DO NOT affect the actual invalidation of TLB entries. TLB entries are removed correctly. This issue has been assigned CVE ID CVE-2025-10263. To mitigate this issue, Arm recommends that software follows any affected TLBI;DSB sequence with an additional TLBI;DSB, which will ensure that all memory write effects affected by the first TLBI have been globally observed. The additional TLBI can use any operation that is broadcast to affected CPUs, and the additional DSB can use any option that is sufficient to complete the additional TLBI. The ARM64_WORKAROUND_REPEAT_TLBI workaround is sufficient to mitigate the issue. Enable this workaround for affected CPUs, and update the silicon errata documentation accordingly. Note that due to the manner in which Arm develops IP and tracks errata, some CPUs share a common erratum number.

rust: arm64: set uwtable llvm module flag for CONFIG_UNWIND_TABLES

2026-06-19T11:42:28+00:00

commit ac35b5580ace12e5d0a0b5e61e36d2c4e1ffa29c upstream. Due to a rustc bug [1] the -Cforce-unwind-tables=y flag only emits the uwtable annotation for functions, but not for the module. This means that compiler-generated functions such as 'asan.module_ctor' do not receive the uwtable annotation. When CONFIG_UNWIND_PATCH_PAC_INTO_SCS is enabled, this leads to boot failures because the dwarf information emitted for the kasan constructors is wrong, which causes the SCS boot patching code to patch the constructor in an illegal manner. Specifically, the paciasp instruction is patched, but the autiasp instruction is not. This mismatch leads to a crash when the constructor is called during boot. ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in do_basic_setup+0x4c/0x90 Read of size 8 at addr ffffffe3cc7eb488 by task swapper/0/1 Specifically the faulting instruction is the (*fn)() to invoke the constructor in do_ctors() of the init/main.c file. Once the fix lands in rustc, this flag can be made conditional on the rustc version. Note that passing the flag on a rustc with the fix present has no effect. [ The fix [1] has landed for Rust 1.98.0 (expected release on 2026-08-20).

arm64: tlb: Optimize ARM64_WORKAROUND_REPEAT_TLBI

2026-06-19T11:42:23+00:00

commit a8f78680ee6bf795086384e8aea159a52814f827 upstream. The ARM64_WORKAROUND_REPEAT_TLBI workaround is used to mitigate several errata where broadcast TLBI;DSB sequences don't provide all the architecturally required synchronization. The workaround performs more work than necessary, and can have significant overhead. This patch optimizes the workaround, as explained below. The workaround was originally added for Qualcomm Falkor erratum 1009 in commit: d9ff80f83ecb ("arm64: Work around Falkor erratum 1009") As noted in the message for that commit, the workaround is applied even in cases where it is not strictly necessary. The workaround was later reused without changes for: * Arm Cortex-A76 erratum #1286807 SDEN v33: https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-885749/33-0/ * Arm Cortex-A55 erratum #2441007 SDEN v16: https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-859338/1600/ * Arm Cortex-A510 erratum #2441009 SDEN v19: https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-1873351/1900/ The important details to note are as follows: 1. All relevant errata only affect the ordering and/or completion of memory accesses which have been translated by an invalidated TLB entry. The actual invalidation of TLB entries is unaffected. 2. The existing workaround is applied to both broadcast and local TLB invalidation, whereas for all relevant errata it is only necessary to apply a workaround for broadcast invalidation. 3. The existing workaround replaces every TLBI with a TLBI;DSB;TLBI sequence, whereas for all relevant errata it is only necessary to execute a single additional TLBI;DSB sequence after any number of TLBIs are completed by a DSB. For example, for a sequence of batched TLBIs: TLBI [, ] TLBI [, ] TLBI [, ] DSB ISH ... the existing workaround will expand this to: TLBI [, ] DSB ISH // additional TLBI [, ] // additional TLBI [, ] DSB ISH // additional TLBI [, ] // additional TLBI [, ] DSB ISH // additional TLBI [, ] // additional DSB ISH ... whereas it is sufficient to have: TLBI [, ] TLBI [, ] TLBI [, ] DSB ISH TLBI [, ] // additional DSB ISH // additional Using a single additional TBLI and DSB at the end of the sequence can have significantly lower overhead as each DSB which completes a TLBI must synchronize with other PEs in the system, with potential performance effects both locally and system-wide. 4. The existing workaround repeats each specific TLBI operation, whereas for all relevant errata it is sufficient for the additional TLBI to use *any* operation which will be broadcast, regardless of which translation regime or stage of translation the operation applies to. For example, for a single TLBI: TLBI ALLE2IS DSB ISH ... the existing workaround will expand this to: TLBI ALLE2IS DSB ISH TLBI ALLE2IS // additional DSB ISH // additional ... whereas it is sufficient to have: TLBI ALLE2IS DSB ISH TLBI VALE1IS, XZR // additional DSB ISH // additional As the additional TLBI doesn't have to match a specific earlier TLBI, the additional TLBI can be implemented in separate code, with no memory of the earlier TLBIs. The additional TLBI can also use a cheaper TLBI operation. 5. The existing workaround is applied to both Stage-1 and Stage-2 TLB invalidation, whereas for all relevant errata it is only necessary to apply a workaround for Stage-1 invalidation. Architecturally, TLBI operations which invalidate only Stage-2 information (e.g. IPAS2E1IS) are not required to invalidate TLB entries which combine information from Stage-1 and Stage-2 translation table entries, and consequently may not complete memory accesses translated by those combined entries. In these cases, completion of memory accesses is only guaranteed after subsequent invalidation of Stage-1 information (e.g. VMALLE1IS). Taking the above points into account, this patch reworks the workaround logic to reduce overhead: * New __tlbi_sync_s1ish() and __tlbi_sync_s1ish_hyp() functions are added and used in place of any dsb(ish) which is used to complete broadcast Stage-1 TLB maintenance. When the ARM64_WORKAROUND_REPEAT_TLBI workaround is enabled, these helpers will execute an additional TLBI;DSB sequence. For consistency, it might make sense to add __tlbi_sync_*() helpers for local and stage 2 maintenance. For now I've left those with open-coded dsb() to keep the diff small. * The duplication of TLBIs in __TLBI_0() and __TLBI_1() is removed. This is no longer needed as the necessary synchronization will happen in __tlbi_sync_s1ish() or __tlbi_sync_s1ish_hyp(). * The additional TLBI operation is chosen to have minimal impact: - __tlbi_sync_s1ish() uses "TLBI VALE1IS, XZR". This is only used at EL1 or at EL2 with {E2H,TGE}=={1,1}, where it will target an unused entry for the reserved ASID in the kernel's own translation regime, and have no adverse affect. - __tlbi_sync_s1ish_hyp() uses "TLBI VALE2IS, XZR". This is only used in hyp code, where it will target an unused entry in the hyp code's TTBR0 mapping, and should have no adverse effect. * As __TLBI_0() and __TLBI_1() no longer replace each TLBI with a TLBI;DSB;TLBI sequence, batching TLBIs is worthwhile, and there's no need for arch_tlbbatch_should_defer() to consider ARM64_WORKAROUND_REPEAT_TLBI.

arm64: tlb: Allow XZR argument to TLBI ops

2026-06-19T11:42:23+00:00

commit bfd9c931d19aa59fb8371d557774fa169b15db9a upstream. The TLBI instruction accepts XZR as a register argument, and for TLBI operations with a register argument, there is no functional difference between using XZR or another GPR which contains zeroes. Operations without a register argument are encoded as if XZR were used. Allow the __TLBI_1() macro to use XZR when a register argument is all zeroes. Today this only results in a trivial code saving in __do_compat_cache_op()'s workaround for Neoverse-N1 erratum #1542419. In subsequent patches this pattern will be used more generally. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

KVM: arm64: vgic-its: Drop the translation cache reference only for the erased entry

2026-06-09T10:26:06+00:00

commit 13031fb6b8357fbbcded2a7f4cba73e4781ee594 upstream. vgic_its_invalidate_cache() walks the per-ITS translation cache with xa_for_each() and drops the cache's reference on each entry with vgic_put_irq(). It puts the iterated pointer, though, rather than the value returned by xa_erase(). The function is called from contexts that do not exclude one another: the ITS command handlers hold its_lock, the GITS_CTLR write path holds cmd_lock, and the path that clears EnableLPIs in a redistributor's GICR_CTLR holds neither. Two or more of them can drain the same cache concurrently, and if each one observes the same entry, erases it and then puts it, the single reference the cache holds on that entry is dropped more than once. The entry can then be freed while an ITE still maps it. xa_erase() is atomic and returns the previous entry, so put only the entry that this context actually removed. The cache reference is then dropped exactly once per entry even when the invalidations run concurrently, and the behavior is unchanged when only one context runs.
