KVM: arm64: Reassign nested_mmus array behind mmu_lock

2026-06-09T10:28:53+00:00

commit 70543358fa08e0f7cebc3447c3b70fe97ad7aaa8 upstream. kvm->arch.nested_mmus[] is walked under kvm->mmu_lock, including from the MMU notifier path (kvm_unmap_gfn_range() -> kvm_nested_s2_unmap()), which can run at any time. kvm_vcpu_init_nested() reallocates the array and frees the old buffer while holding only kvm->arch.config_lock, so such a walker can reference the freed array. Allocate the new array outside of mmu_lock, as the allocation can sleep. Under the lock, copy the existing entries, fix up the back pointers and reassign the array. Free the old buffer after dropping the lock, as kvfree() can sleep as well.

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

2026-06-09T10:28:53+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.

arm64: tlb: Flush walk cache when unsharing PMD tables

2026-06-09T10:28:51+00:00

[ Upstream commit c2ff4764e03e7a8d758352f4aceb8fe1be6ac971 ] When huge_pmd_unshare() is called to unshare a PMD table, the tlb_unshare_pmd_ptdesc() function sets tlb->unshared_tables=true but the aarch64 tlb_flush() only checked tlb->freed_tables to determine whether to use TLBF_NONE (vae1is, invalidates walk cache) or TLBF_NOWALKCACHE (vale1is, leaf-only). This caused the stale PMD page table entry to remain in the walk cache after unshare, potentially leading to incorrect page table walks. Fix by including unshared_tables in the check, so that when unsharing tables, TLBF_NONE is used and the walk cache is properly invalidated. Here is the detailed distinction between vae1is and vale1is: | Instruction Combination | Actual Invalidation Scope | | ------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------| | `VAE1IS` + TTL=`0` | All entries at all levels (full invalidation) | | `VAE1IS` + TTL=`2` (L2) | Non-leaf at Level 0/1 + leaf at Level 2 | | `VALE1IS` + TTL=`0` | Leaf entries at all levels (non-leaf not cleared) | | `VALE1IS` + TTL=`2` (L2) | Leaf entry at Level 2 only | Signed-off-by: Zeng Heng Fixes: 8ce720d5bd91 ("mm/hugetlb: fix excessive IPI broadcasts when unsharing PMD tables using mmu_gather") Cc: Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

KVM: arm64: PMU: Preserve AArch32 counter low bits

2026-06-09T10:28:36+00:00

commit 1750ad1388e03fb27068cd1f22c9c8b4590fe936 upstream. AArch32 writes to PMU event counters cannot update the top 32 bits, even when PMUv3p5 makes the counters 64-bit. KVM therefore needs to preserve the existing high half and only update the low half written by the guest, unless the caller explicitly forces a full reset through PMCR.P. The current code masks @val down to the old high half before taking lower_32_bits(val), which means the low half is always zero. As a result, AArch32 writes to event counters discard the guest-provided low 32 bits instead of storing them. Build the new value from the old high 32 bits and the low 32 bits of the value supplied by the guest.

KVM: arm64: vgic: Free private_irqs when init fails after allocation

2026-06-01T15:50:46+00:00

commit f19c354dbd457759dfcf1195ab4bdba2bb568323 upstream. Companion to commit 250f25367b58 ("KVM: arm64: Tear down vGIC on failed vCPU creation"), which added the missing kvm_vgic_vcpu_destroy() call to the kvm_share_hyp() failure path in kvm_arch_vcpu_create(). The kvm_vgic_vcpu_init() failure path immediately above it has the same shape and still needs the same cleanup. Call kvm_vgic_vcpu_destroy() when kvm_vgic_vcpu_init() fails so private IRQs allocated before a redistributor iodev registration failure are released before the failed vCPU is freed.

KVM: arm64: vgic-its: Reject restored DTE with out-of-range num_eventid_bits

2026-06-01T15:50:45+00:00

commit 9ce754ed8e7ab4e3999767ce1505f85c449ccb07 upstream. Userspace can restore an ITS Device Table Entry whose Size field encodes more EventID bits than the virtual ITS supports. The live MAPD path rejects that state, but vgic_its_restore_dte() accepts it and stores the out-of-range value in dev->num_eventid_bits. Reject restored DTEs with num_eventid_bits > VITS_TYPER_IDBITS before allocating the device. This mirrors the MAPD check and prevents the restored state from reaching vgic_its_restore_itt(), where the unchecked value can be converted into an oversized scan_its_table() range.

ring-buffer: Flush and stop persistent ring buffer on panic

2026-06-01T15:50:44+00:00

commit a494d3c8d5392bcdff83c2a593df0c160ff9f322 upstream. On real hardware, panic and machine reboot may not flush hardware cache to memory. This means the persistent ring buffer, which relies on a coherent state of memory, may not have its events written to the buffer and they may be lost. Moreover, there may be inconsistency with the counters which are used for validation of the integrity of the persistent ring buffer which may cause all data to be discarded. To avoid this issue, stop recording of the ring buffer on panic and flush the cache of the ring buffer's memory.

mm/page_alloc: fix initialization of tags of the huge zero folio with init_on_free

2026-06-01T15:50:41+00:00

commit 6a288a4ddb4a994490505ab5f41c445f8e6b6467 upstream. __GFP_ZEROTAGS semantics are currently a bit weird, but effectively this flag is only ever set alongside __GFP_ZERO and __GFP_SKIP_KASAN. If we run with init_on_free, we will zero out pages during __free_pages_prepare(), to skip zeroing on the allocation path. However, when allocating with __GFP_ZEROTAG set, post_alloc_hook() will consequently not only skip clearing page content, but also skip clearing tag memory. Not clearing tags through __GFP_ZEROTAGS is irrelevant for most pages that will get mapped to user space through set_pte_at() later: set_pte_at() and friends will detect that the tags have not been initialized yet (PG_mte_tagged not set), and initialize them. However, for the huge zero folio, which will be mapped through a PMD marked as special, this initialization will not be performed, ending up exposing whatever tags were still set for the pages. The docs (Documentation/arch/arm64/memory-tagging-extension.rst) state that allocation tags are set to 0 when a page is first mapped to user space. That no longer holds with the huge zero folio when init_on_free is enabled. Fix it by decoupling __GFP_ZEROTAGS from __GFP_ZERO, passing to tag_clear_highpages() whether we want to also clear page content. Invert the meaning of the tag_clear_highpages() return value to have clearer semantics. Reproduced with the huge zero folio by modifying the check_buffer_fill arm64/mte selftest to use a 2 MiB area, after making sure that pages have a non-0 tag set when freeing (note that, during boot, we will not actually initialize tags, but only set KASAN_TAG_KERNEL in the page flags). $ ./check_buffer_fill 1..20 ... not ok 17 Check initial tags with private mapping, sync error mode and mmap memory not ok 18 Check initial tags with private mapping, sync error mode and mmap/mprotect memory ... This code needs more cleanups; we'll tackle that next, like decoupling __GFP_ZEROTAGS from __GFP_SKIP_KASAN.
