git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull fileattr updates from Christian Brauner: "This introduces the new file_getattr() and file_setattr() system calls after lengthy discussions. Both system calls serve as successors and extensible companions to the FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR and FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR system calls which have started to show their age in addition to being named in a way that makes it easy to conflate them with extended attribute related operations. These syscalls allow userspace to set filesystem inode attributes on special files. One of the usage examples is the XFS quota projects. XFS has project quotas which could be attached to a directory. All new inodes in these directories inherit project ID set on parent directory. The project is created from userspace by opening and calling FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR on each inode. This is not possible for special files such as FIFO, SOCK, BLK etc. Therefore, some inodes are left with empty project ID. Those inodes then are not shown in the quota accounting but still exist in the directory. This is not critical but in the case when special files are created in the directory with already existing project quota, these new inodes inherit extended attributes. This creates a mix of special files with and without attributes. Moreover, special files with attributes don't have a possibility to become clear or change the attributes. This, in turn, prevents userspace from re-creating quota project on these existing files. In addition, these new system calls allow the implementation of additional attributes that we couldn't or didn't want to fit into the legacy ioctls anymore" * tag 'vfs-6.17-rc1.fileattr' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: fs: tighten a sanity check in file_attr_to_fileattr() tree-wide: s/struct fileattr/struct file_kattr/g fs: introduce file_getattr and file_setattr syscalls fs: prepare for extending file_get/setattr() fs: make vfs_fileattr_[get|set] return -EOPNOTSUPP selinux: implement inode_file_[g|s]etattr hooks lsm: introduce new hooks for setting/getting inode fsxattr fs: split fileattr related helpers into separate file
2025-07-26PCI: pnv_php: Fix surprise plug detection and recoveryTimothy Pearson1-0/+3
The existing PowerNV hotplug code did not handle surprise plug events correctly, leading to a complete failure of the hotplug system after device removal and a required reboot to detect new devices. This comes down to two issues: 1) When a device is surprise removed, often the bridge upstream port will cause a PE freeze on the PHB. If this freeze is not cleared, the MSI interrupts from the bridge hotplug notification logic will not be received by the kernel, stalling all plug events on all slots associated with the PE. 2) When a device is removed from a slot, regardless of surprise or programmatic removal, the associated PHB/PE ls left frozen. If this freeze is not cleared via a fundamental reset, skiboot is unable to clear the freeze and cannot retrain / rescan the slot. This also requires a reboot to clear the freeze and redetect the device in the slot. Issue the appropriate unfreeze and rescan commands on hotplug events, and don't oops on hotplug if pci_bus_to_OF_node() returns NULL.

2025-07-22powerpc: Don't use %pK through printkThomas Weißschuh1-1/+1
In the past %pK was preferable to %p as it would not leak raw pointer values into the kernel log. Since commit ad67b74d2469 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p") the regular %p has been improved to avoid this issue. Furthermore, restricted pointers ("%pK") were never meant to be used through printk(). They can still unintentionally leak raw pointers or acquire sleeping locks in atomic contexts. Switch to the regular pointer formatting which is safer and easier to reason about.

2025-07-20Add a new optional ",cma" suffix to the crashkernel= command line optionJiri Bohac1-1/+1
Patch series "kdump: crashkernel reservation from CMA", v5. This series implements a way to reserve additional crash kernel memory using CMA. Currently, all the memory for the crash kernel is not usable by the 1st (production) kernel. It is also unmapped so that it can't be corrupted by the fault that will eventually trigger the crash. This makes sense for the memory actually used by the kexec-loaded crash kernel image and initrd and the data prepared during the load (vmcoreinfo, ...). However, the reserved space needs to be much larger than that to provide enough run-time memory for the crash kernel and the kdump userspace. Estimating the amount of memory to reserve is difficult. Being too careful makes kdump likely to end in OOM, being too generous takes even more memory from the production system. Also, the reservation only allows reserving a single contiguous block (or two with the "low" suffix). I've seen systems where this fails because the physical memory is fragmented. By reserving additional crashkernel memory from CMA, the main crashkernel reservation can be just large enough to fit the kernel and initrd image, minimizing the memory taken away from the production system. Most of the run-time memory for the crash kernel will be memory previously available to userspace in the production system. As this memory is no longer wasted, the reservation can be done with a generous margin, making kdump more reliable. Kernel memory that we need to preserve for dumping is normally not allocated from CMA, unless it is explicitly allocated as movable. Currently this is only the case for memory ballooning and zswap. Such movable memory will be missing from the vmcore. User data is typically not dumped by makedumpfile. When dumping of user data is intended this new CMA reservation cannot be used. There are five patches in this series: The first adds a new ",cma" suffix to the recenly introduced generic crashkernel parsing code. parse_crashkernel() takes one more argument to store the cma reservation size. The second patch implements reserve_crashkernel_cma() which performs the reservation. If the requested size is not available in a single range, multiple smaller ranges will be reserved. The third patch updates Documentation/, explicitly mentioning the potential DMA corruption of the CMA-reserved memory. The fourth patch adds a short delay before booting the kdump kernel, allowing pending DMA transfers to finish. The fifth patch enables the functionality for x86 as a proof of concept. There are just three things every arch needs to do: - call reserve_crashkernel_cma() - include the CMA-reserved ranges in the physical memory map - exclude the CMA-reserved ranges from the memory available through /proc/vmcore by excluding them from the vmcoreinfo PT_LOAD ranges. Adding other architectures is easy and I can do that as soon as this series is merged. With this series applied, specifying crashkernel=100M craskhernel=1G,cma on the command line will make a standard crashkernel reservation of 100M, where kexec will load the kernel and initrd. An additional 1G will be reserved from CMA, still usable by the production system. The crash kernel will have 1.1G memory available. The 100M can be reliably predicted based on the size of the kernel and initrd. The new cma suffix is completely optional. When no crashkernel=size,cma is specified, everything works as before. This patch (of 5): Add a new cma_size parameter to parse_crashkernel(). When not NULL, call __parse_crashkernel to parse the CMA reservation size from "crashkernel=size,cma" and store it in cma_size. Set cma_size to NULL in all calls to parse_crashkernel().

This is an alternative to FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctl with a difference that file don't need to be open as we can reference it with a path instead of fd. By having this we can manipulated inode extended attributes not only on regular files but also on special ones. This is not possible with FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctl as with special files we can not call ioctl() directly on the filesystem inode using fd. This patch adds two new syscalls which allows userspace to get/set extended inode attributes on special files by using parent directory and a path - *at() like syscall.

2025-06-13powerpc/eeh: Fix missing PE bridge reconfiguration during VFIO EEH recoveryNarayana Murty N1-0/+2
VFIO EEH recovery for PCI passthrough devices fails on PowerNV and pseries platforms due to missing host-side PE bridge reconfiguration. In the current implementation, eeh_pe_configure() only performs RTAS or OPAL-based bridge reconfiguration for native host devices, but skips it entirely for PEs managed through VFIO in guest passthrough scenarios. This leads to incomplete EEH recovery when a PCI error affects a passthrough device assigned to a QEMU/KVM guest. Although VFIO triggers the EEH recovery flow through VFIO_EEH_PE_ENABLE ioctl, the platform-specific bridge reconfiguration step is silently bypassed. As a result, the PE's config space is not fully restored, causing subsequent config space access failures or EEH freeze-on-access errors inside the guest. This patch fixes the issue by ensuring that eeh_pe_configure() always invokes the platform's configure_bridge() callback (e.g., pseries_eeh_phb_configure_bridge) even for VFIO-managed PEs. This ensures that RTAS or OPAL calls to reconfigure the PE bridge are correctly issued on the host side, restoring the PE's configuration space after an EEH event. This fix is essential for reliable EEH recovery in QEMU/KVM guests using VFIO PCI passthrough on PowerNV and pseries systems. Tested with: - QEMU/KVM guest using VFIO passthrough (IBM Power9,(lpar)Power11 host) - Injected EEH errors with pseries EEH errinjct tool on host, recovery verified on qemu guest. - Verified successful config space access and CAP_EXP DevCtl restoration after recovery Fixes: 212d16cdca2d ("powerpc/eeh: EEH support for VFIO PCI device") Signed-off-by: Narayana Murty N <nnmlinux@linux.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Vaibhav Jain <vaibhav@linux.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Ganesh Goudar <ganeshgr@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Madhavan Srinivasan <maddy@linux.ibm.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250508062928.146043-1-nnmlinux@linux.ibm.com

2025-05-14powerpc/kernel: Fix ppc_save_regs inclusion in buildMadhavan Srinivasan1-2/+0
Recent patch fixed an old commit 'fc2a5a6161a2 ("powerpc/64s: ppc_save_regs is now needed for all 64s builds")' which is to include building of ppc_save_reg.c only when XMON and KEXEC_CORE and PPC_BOOK3S are enabled. This was valid, since ppc_save_regs was called only in replay_system_reset() of old irq.c which was under BOOK3S. But there has been multiple refactoring of irq.c and have added call to ppc_save_regs() from __replay_soft_interrupts -> replay_soft_interrupts which is part of irq_64.c included under CONFIG_PPC64. And since ppc_save_regs is called in CRASH_DUMP path as part of crash_setup_regs in kexec.h, CONFIG_PPC32 also needs it. So with this recent patch which enabled the building of ppc_save_regs.c caused a build break when none of these (XMON, KEXEC_CORE, BOOK3S) where enabled as part of config. Patch to enable building of ppc_save_regs.c by defaults. Signed-off-by: Madhavan Srinivasan <maddy@linux.ibm.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250511041111.841158-1-maddy@linux.ibm.com

2025-04-17powerpc/pseries: Add a char driver for physical-attestation RTASHaren Myneni1-1/+1
The RTAS call ibm,physical-attestation is used to retrieve information about the trusted boot state of the firmware and hypervisor on the system, and also Trusted Platform Modules (TPM) data if the system is TCG 2.0 compliant. This RTAS interface expects the caller to define different command structs such as RetrieveTPMLog, RetrievePlatformCertificat and etc, in a work area with a maximum size of 4K bytes and the response buffer will be returned in the same work area. The current implementation of this RTAS function is in the user space but allocation of the work area is restricted with the system lockdown. So this patch implements this RTAS function in the kernel and expose to the user space with open/ioctl/read interfaces. PAPR (2.13+ 21.3 ibm,physical-attestation) defines RTAS function: - Pass the command struct to obtain the response buffer for the specific command. - This RTAS function is sequence RTAS call and has to issue RTAS call multiple times to get the complete response buffer (max 64K). The hypervisor expects the first RTAS call with the sequence 1 and the subsequent calls with the sequence number returned from the previous calls. Expose these interfaces to user space with a /dev/papr-physical-attestation character device using the following programming model: int devfd = open("/dev/papr-physical-attestation"); int fd = ioctl(devfd, PAPR_PHY_ATTEST_IOC_HANDLE, struct papr_phy_attest_io_block); - The user space defines the command struct and requests the response for any command. - Obtain the complete response buffer and returned the buffer as blob to the command specific FD. size = read(fd, buf, len); - Can retrieve the response buffer once or multiple times until the end of BLOB buffer.

2025-04-17powerpc/pseries: Add ibm,set-dynamic-indicator RTAS call supportHaren Myneni1-1/+1
The RTAS call ibm,set-dynamic-indicator is used to set the new indicator state identified by a location code. The current implementation uses rtas_set_dynamic_indicator() API provided by librtas library which allocates RMO buffer and issue this RTAS call in the user space. But /dev/mem access by the user space is prohibited under system lockdown. This patch provides an interface with new ioctl PAPR_DYNAMIC_INDICATOR_IOC_SET to the papr-indices character driver and expose this interface to the user space that is compatible with lockdown.

2025-04-17powerpc/pseries: Add papr-indices char driver for ibm,get-indicesHaren Myneni1-1/+1
The RTAS call ibm,get-indices is used to obtain indices and location codes for a specified indicator or sensor token. The current implementation uses rtas_get_indices() API provided by librtas library which allocates RMO buffer and issue this RTAS call in the user space. But writable mapping /dev/mem access by the user space is prohibited under system lockdown. To overcome the restricted access in the user space, the kernel provide interfaces to collect indices data from the hypervisor. This patch adds papr-indices character driver and expose standard interfaces such as open / ioctl/ read to user space in ways that are compatible with lockdown. PAPR (2.13 7.3.17 ibm,get-indices RTAS Call) describes the following steps to retrieve all indices data: - User input parameters to the RTAS call: sensor or indicator, and indice type - ibm,get-indices is sequence RTAS call which means has to issue multiple times to get the entire list of indicators or sensors of a particular type. The hypervisor expects the first RTAS call with the sequence 1 and the subsequent calls with the sequence number returned from the previous calls. - The OS may not interleave calls to ibm,get-indices for different indicator or sensor types. Means other RTAS calls with different type should not be issued while the previous type sequence is in progress. So collect the entire list of indices and copied to buffer BLOB during ioctl() and expose this buffer to the user space with the file descriptor. - The hypervisor fills the work area with a specific format but does not return the number of bytes written to the buffer. Instead of parsing the data for each call to determine the data length, copy the work area size (RTAS_GET_INDICES_BUF_SIZE) to the buffer. Return work-area size of data to the user space for each read() call. Expose these interfaces to user space with a /dev/papr-indices character device using the following programming model: int devfd = open("/dev/papr-indices", O_RDONLY); int fd = ioctl(devfd, PAPR_INDICES_IOC_GET, struct papr_indices_io_block) - Collect all indices data for the specified token to the buffer char *buf = malloc(RTAS_GET_INDICES_BUF_SIZE); length = read(fd, buf, RTAS_GET_INDICES_BUF_SIZE) - RTAS_GET_INDICES_BUF_SIZE of data is returned to the user space. - The user space retrieves the indices and their location codes from the buffer - Should issue multiple read() calls until reaches the end of BLOB buffer. The read() should use the file descriptor obtained from ioctl to get the data that is exposed to file descriptor. Implemented support in librtas (rtas_get_indices()) for this new ABI for system lockdown.

2025-04-15powerpc64/ftrace: fix module loading without patchable function entriesAnthony Iliopoulos1-4/+0
get_stubs_size assumes that there must always be at least one patchable function entry, which is not always the case (modules that export data but no code), otherwise it returns -ENOEXEC and thus the section header sh_size is set to that value. During module_memory_alloc() the size is passed to execmem_alloc() after being page-aligned and thus set to zero which will cause it to fail the allocation (and thus module loading) as __vmalloc_node_range() checks for zero-sized allocs and returns null: [ 115.466896] module_64: cast_common: doesn't contain __patchable_function_entries.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull VDSO infrastructure updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Consolidate the VDSO storage The VDSO data storage and data layout has been largely architecture specific for historical reasons. That increases the maintenance effort and causes inconsistencies over and over. There is no real technical reason for architecture specific layouts and implementations. The architecture specific details can easily be integrated into a generic layout, which also reduces the amount of duplicated code for managing the mappings. Convert all architectures over to a unified layout and common mapping infrastructure. This splits the VDSO data layout into subsystem specific blocks, timekeeping, random and architecture parts, which provides a better structure and allows to improve and update the functionalities without conflict and interaction. - Rework the timekeeping data storage The current implementation is designed for exposing system timekeeping accessors, which was good enough at the time when it was designed. PTP and Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) change that as there are requirements to expose independent PTP clocks, which are not related to system timekeeping. Replace the monolithic data storage by a structured layout, which allows to add support for independent PTP clocks on top while reusing both the data structures and the time accessor implementations. * tag 'timers-vdso-2025-03-23' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (55 commits) sparc/vdso: Always reject undefined references during linking x86/vdso: Always reject undefined references during linking vdso: Rework struct vdso_time_data and introduce struct vdso_clock vdso: Move architecture related data before basetime data powerpc/vdso: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock arm64/vdso: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock x86/vdso: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock time/namespace: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/namespace: Rename timens_setup_vdso_data() to reflect new vdso_clock struct vdso/vsyscall: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare helper functions for introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare do_coarse_timens() for introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare do_coarse() for introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare do_hres_timens() for introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare do_hres() for introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/helpers: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/datapage: Define vdso_clock to prepare for multiple PTP clocks vdso: Make vdso_time_data cacheline aligned arm64: Make asm/cache.h compatible with vDSO ...
