Pull x86 CPU feature updates from Dave Hansen: "The biggest thing of note here is Linear Address Space Separation (LASS). It represents the first time I can think of that the upper=>kernel/lower=>user address space convention is actually recognized by the hardware on x86. It ensures that userspace can not even get the hardware to _start_ page walks for the kernel address space. This, of course, is a really nice generic side channel defense. This is really only a down payment on LASS support. There are still some details to work out in its interaction with EFI calls and vsyscall emulation. For now, LASS is disabled if either of those features is compiled in (which is almost always the case). There's also one straggler commit in here which converts an under-utilized AMD CPU feature leaf into a generic Linux-defined leaf so more feature can be packed in there. Summary: - Enable Linear Address Space Separation (LASS) - Change X86_FEATURE leaf 17 from an AMD leaf to Linux-defined" * tag 'x86_cpu_for_6.19-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/cpu: Enable LASS during CPU initialization selftests/x86: Update the negative vsyscall tests to expect a #GP x86/traps: Communicate a LASS violation in #GP message x86/kexec: Disable LASS during relocate kernel x86/alternatives: Disable LASS when patching kernel code x86/asm: Introduce inline memcpy and memset x86/cpu: Add an LASS dependency on SMAP x86/cpufeatures: Enumerate the LASS feature bits x86/cpufeatures: Make X86_FEATURE leaf 17 Linux-specific

Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar: - klp-build livepatch module generation (Josh Poimboeuf) Introduce new objtool features and a klp-build script to generate livepatch modules using a source .patch as input. This builds on concepts from the longstanding out-of-tree kpatch project which began in 2012 and has been used for many years to generate livepatch modules for production kernels. However, this is a complete rewrite which incorporates hard-earned lessons from 12+ years of maintaining kpatch. Key improvements compared to kpatch-build: - Integrated with objtool: Leverages objtool's existing control-flow graph analysis to help detect changed functions. - Works on vmlinux.o: Supports late-linked objects, making it compatible with LTO, IBT, and similar. - Simplified code base: ~3k fewer lines of code. - Upstream: No more out-of-tree #ifdef hacks, far less cruft. - Cleaner internals: Vastly simplified logic for symbol/section/reloc inclusion and special section extraction. - Robust __LINE__ macro handling: Avoids false positive binary diffs caused by the __LINE__ macro by introducing a fix-patch-lines script which injects #line directives into the source .patch to preserve the original line numbers at compile time. - Disassemble code with libopcodes instead of running objdump (Alexandre Chartre) - Disassemble support (-d option to objtool) by Alexandre Chartre, which supports the decoding of various Linux kernel code generation specials such as alternatives: 17ef: sched_balance_find_dst_group+0x62f mov 0x34(%r9),%edx 17f3: sched_balance_find_dst_group+0x633 | | X86_FEATURE_POPCNT 17f3: sched_balance_find_dst_group+0x633 | call 0x17f8 <__sw_hweight64> | popcnt %rdi,%rax 17f8: sched_balance_find_dst_group+0x638 cmp %eax,%edx ... jump table alternatives: 1895: sched_use_asym_prio+0x5 test $0x8,%ch 1898: sched_use_asym_prio+0x8 je 0x18a9 189a: sched_use_asym_prio+0xa | | JUMP 189a: sched_use_asym_prio+0xa | jmp 0x18ae | nop2 189c: sched_use_asym_prio+0xc mov $0x1,%eax 18a1: sched_use_asym_prio+0x11 and $0x80,%ecx ... exception table alternatives: native_read_msr: 5b80: native_read_msr+0x0 mov %edi,%ecx 5b82: native_read_msr+0x2 | | EXCEPTION 5b82: native_read_msr+0x2 | rdmsr | resume at 0x5b84 5b84: native_read_msr+0x4 shl $0x20,%rdx .... x86 feature flag decoding (also see the X86_FEATURE_POPCNT example in sched_balance_find_dst_group() above): 2faaf: start_thread_common.constprop.0+0x1f jne 0x2fba4 2fab5: start_thread_common.constprop.0+0x25 | | X86_FEATURE_ALWAYS | X86_BUG_NULL_SEG 2fab5: start_thread_common.constprop.0+0x25 | jmp 0x2faba <.altinstr_aux+0x2f4> | jmp 0x4b0 | nop5 2faba: start_thread_common.constprop.0+0x2a mov $0x2b,%eax ...

objtool: Add Function to get the name of a CPU feature

Add a function to get the name of a CPU feature. The function is architecture dependent and currently only implemented for x86. The feature names are automatically generated from the cpufeatures.h include file.

x86/cpufeatures: Correct LKGS feature flag description

2025-11-04T22:09:34+00:00

Quotation marks in cpufeatures.h comments are special and when the comment begins with a quoted string, that string lands in /proc/cpuinfo, turning it into a user-visible one. The LKGS comment doesn't begin with a quoted string but just in case drop the quoted "kernel" in there to avoid confusion. And while at it, simply change the description into what the LKGS instruction does for more clarity. No functional changes.
