RISC-V uses xRET instructions on return from interrupt and to go back
to user-space; the xRET instruction is not core serializing.
Use FENCE.I for providing core serialization as follows:
- by calling sync_core_before_usermode() on return from interrupt (cf.
ipi_sync_core()),
- via switch_mm() and sync_core_before_usermode() (respectively, for
uthread->uthread and kthread->uthread transitions) before returning
to user-space.
On RISC-V, the serialization in switch_mm() is activated by resetting
the icache_stale_mask of the mm at prepare_sync_core_cmd().

The membarrier system call requires a full memory barrier after storing
to rq->curr, before going back to user-space. The barrier is only
needed when switching between processes: the barrier is implied by
mmdrop() when switching from kernel to userspace, and it's not needed
when switching from userspace to kernel.
Rely on the feature/mechanism ARCH_HAS_MEMBARRIER_CALLBACKS and on the
primitive membarrier_arch_switch_mm(), already adopted by the PowerPC
architecture, to insert the required barrier.

We've had issues with gcc and 'asm goto' before, and we created a
'asm_volatile_goto()' macro for that in the past: see commits
3f0116c3238a ("compiler/gcc4: Add quirk for 'asm goto' miscompilation
bug") and a9f180345f53 ("compiler/gcc4: Make quirk for
asm_volatile_goto() unconditional").
Then, much later, we ended up removing the workaround in commit
43c249ea0b1e ("compiler-gcc.h: remove ancient workaround for gcc PR
58670") because we no longer supported building the kernel with the
affected gcc versions, but we left the macro uses around.
Now, Sean Christopherson reports a new version of a very similar
problem, which is fixed by re-applying that ancient workaround. But the
problem in question is limited to only the 'asm goto with outputs'
cases, so instead of re-introducing the old workaround as-is, let's
rename and limit the workaround to just that much less common case.
It looks like there are at least two separate issues that all hit in
this area:
(a) some versions of gcc don't mark the asm goto as 'volatile' when it
has outputs:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=98619
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110420
which is easy to work around by just adding the 'volatile' by hand.
(b) Internal compiler errors:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110422
which are worked around by adding the extra empty 'asm' as a
barrier, as in the original workaround.
but the problem Sean sees may be a third thing since it involves bad
code generation (not an ICE) even with the manually added 'volatile'.
but the same old workaround works for this case, even if this feels a
bit like voodoo programming and may only be hiding the issue.

KVM uses __KVM_HAVE_* symbols in the architecture-dependent uapi/asm/kvm.h to mask
unused definitions in include/uapi/linux/kvm.h. __KVM_HAVE_READONLY_MEM however
was nothing but a misguided attempt to define KVM_CAP_READONLY_MEM only on
architectures where KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION(KVM_CAP_READONLY_MEM) could possibly
return nonzero. This however does not make sense, and it prevented userspace
from supporting this architecture-independent feature without recompilation.
Therefore, these days __KVM_HAVE_READONLY_MEM does not mask anything and
is only used in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c. Userspace does not need to test it
and there should be no need for it to exist. Remove it and replace it
with a Kconfig symbol within Linux source code.

The percpu area overflow_stacks is exported from arch/riscv/kernel/traps.c
for use in the entry code, but is not declared anywhere. Add the relevant
declaration to arch/riscv/include/asm/stacktrace.h to silence the following
sparse warning:
arch/riscv/kernel/traps.c:395:1: warning: symbol '__pcpu_scope_overflow_stack' was not declared. Should it be static?
We don't add the stackinfo_get_overflow() call as for some of the other
architectures as this doesn't seem to be used yet, so just silence the
warning.

This patch creates wordpart.h and includes it in asm/word-at-a-time.h
for all architectures. WORD_AT_A_TIME_CONSTANTS depends on kernel.h
because of REPEAT_BYTE. Moving this to another header and including it
where necessary allows us to not include the bloated kernel.h. Making
this implicit dependency on REPEAT_BYTE explicit allows for later
improvements in the lib/string.c inclusion list.

The spare_init() calls memmap_populate() many times to create VA to PA
mapping for the VMEMMAP area, where all "struct page" are located once
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is defined. These "struct page" are later
initialized in the zone_sizes_init() function. However, during this
process, no sfence.vma instruction is executed for this VMEMMAP area.
This omission may cause the hart to fail to perform page table walk
because some data related to the address translation is invisible to the
hart. To solve this issue, the local_flush_tlb_kernel_range() is called
right after the sparse_init() to execute a sfence.vma instruction for this
VMEMMAP area, ensuring that all data related to the address translation
is visible to the hart.

Jisheng Zhang <jszhang@kernel.org> says:
This series adds fast gup support to riscv.
The First patch fixes a bug in __p*d_free_tlb(). Per the riscv
privileged spec, if non-leaf PTEs I.E pmd, pud or p4d is modified, a
sfence.vma is a must.
The 2nd patch is a preparation patch.
The last two patches do the real work:
In order to implement fast gup we need to ensure that the page
table walker is protected from page table pages being freed from
under it.
riscv situation is more complicated than other architectures: some
riscv platforms may use IPI to perform TLB shootdown, for example,
those platforms which support AIA, usually the riscv_ipi_for_rfence is
true on these platforms; some riscv platforms may rely on the SBI to
perform TLB shootdown, usually the riscv_ipi_for_rfence is false on
these platforms. To keep software pagetable walkers safe in this case
we switch to RCU based table free (MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE). See the
comment below 'ifdef CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE' in
include/asm-generic/tlb.h for more details.
This patch enables MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE, then use
*tlb_remove_page_ptdesc() for those platforms which use IPI to perform
TLB shootdown;
*tlb_remove_ptdesc() for those platforms which use SBI to perform TLB
shootdown;
Both case mean that disabling interrupts will block the free and
protect the fast gup page walker.
So after the 3rd patch, everything is well prepared, let's select
HAVE_FAST_GUP if MMU.
* b4-shazam-merge:
riscv: enable HAVE_FAST_GUP if MMU
riscv: enable MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE for SMP && MMU
riscv: tlb: convert __p*d_free_tlb() to inline functions
riscv: tlb: fix __p*d_free_tlb()

VLEN describes the length of each vector register and some instructions
need specific minimal VLENs to work correctly.
The vector code already includes a variable riscv_v_vsize that contains
the value of "32 vector registers with vlenb length" that gets filled
during boot. vlenb is the value contained in the CSR_VLENB register and
the value represents "VLEN / 8".
So add riscv_vector_vlen() to return the actual VLEN value for in-kernel
users when they need to check the available VLEN.

Select the DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS to provide the
register_ftrace_direct[_multi] interfaces allowing users to register
the customed trampoline (direct_caller) as the mcount for one or more
target functions. And modify_ftrace_direct[_multi] are also provided
for modifying direct_caller.
To make the direct_caller and the other ftrace hooks (e.g.
function/fgraph tracer, k[ret]probes) co-exist, a temporary register
is nominated to store the address of direct_caller in
ftrace_regs_caller. After the setting of the address direct_caller by
direct_ops->func and the RESTORE_REGS in ftrace_regs_caller,
direct_caller will be jumped to by the `jr` inst.

Charlie Jenkins <charlie@rivosinc.com> says:
Each architecture generally implements fine-tuned checksum functions to
leverage the instruction set. This patch adds the main checksum
functions that are used in networking. Tested on QEMU, this series
allows the CHECKSUM_KUNIT tests to complete an average of 50.9% faster.
This patch takes heavy use of the Zbb extension using alternatives
patching.
To test this patch, enable the configs for KUNIT, then CHECKSUM_KUNIT.
I have attempted to make these functions as optimal as possible, but I
have not ran anything on actual riscv hardware. My performance testing
has been limited to inspecting the assembly, running the algorithms on
x86 hardware, and running in QEMU.
ip_fast_csum is a relatively small function so even though it is
possible to read 64 bits at a time on compatible hardware, the
bottleneck becomes the clean up and setup code so loading 32 bits at a
time is actually faster.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"Generic:
- Use memdup_array_user() to harden against overflow.
- Unconditionally advertise KVM_CAP_DEVICE_CTRL for all
architectures.
- Clean up Kconfigs that all KVM architectures were selecting
- New functionality around "guest_memfd", a new userspace API that
creates an anonymous file and returns a file descriptor that refers
to it. guest_memfd files are bound to their owning virtual machine,
cannot be mapped, read, or written by userspace, and cannot be
resized. guest_memfd files do however support PUNCH_HOLE, which can
be used to switch a memory area between guest_memfd and regular
anonymous memory.
- New ioctl KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES allowing userspace to specify
per-page attributes for a given page of guest memory; right now the
only attribute is whether the guest expects to access memory via
guest_memfd or not, which in Confidential SVMs backed by SEV-SNP,
TDX or ARM64 pKVM is checked by firmware or hypervisor that
guarantees confidentiality (AMD PSP, Intel TDX module, or EL2 in
the case of pKVM).
x86:
- Support for "software-protected VMs" that can use the new
guest_memfd and page attributes infrastructure. This is mostly
useful for testing, since there is no pKVM-like infrastructure to
provide a meaningfully reduced TCB.
- Fix a relatively benign off-by-one error when splitting huge pages
during CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG.
- Fix a bug where KVM could incorrectly test-and-clear dirty bits in
non-leaf TDP MMU SPTEs if a racing thread replaces a huge SPTE with
a non-huge SPTE.
- Use more generic lockdep assertions in paths that don't actually
care about whether the caller is a reader or a writer.
- let Xen guests opt out of having PV clock reported as "based on a
stable TSC", because some of them don't expect the "TSC stable" bit
(added to the pvclock ABI by KVM, but never set by Xen) to be set.
- Revert a bogus, made-up nested SVM consistency check for
TLB_CONTROL.
- Advertise flush-by-ASID support for nSVM unconditionally, as KVM
always flushes on nested transitions, i.e. always satisfies flush
requests. This allows running bleeding edge versions of VMware
Workstation on top of KVM.
- Sanity check that the CPU supports flush-by-ASID when enabling SEV
support.
- On AMD machines with vNMI, always rely on hardware instead of
intercepting IRET in some cases to detect unmasking of NMIs
- Support for virtualizing Linear Address Masking (LAM)
- Fix a variety of vPMU bugs where KVM fail to stop/reset counters
and other state prior to refreshing the vPMU model.
- Fix a double-overflow PMU bug by tracking emulated counter events
using a dedicated field instead of snapshotting the "previous"
counter. If the hardware PMC count triggers overflow that is
recognized in the same VM-Exit that KVM manually bumps an event
count, KVM would pend PMIs for both the hardware-triggered overflow
and for KVM-triggered overflow.
- Turn off KVM_WERROR by default for all configs so that it's not
inadvertantly enabled by non-KVM developers, which can be
problematic for subsystems that require no regressions for W=1
builds.
- Advertise all of the host-supported CPUID bits that enumerate
IA32_SPEC_CTRL "features".
- Don't force a masterclock update when a vCPU synchronizes to the
current TSC generation, as updating the masterclock can cause
kvmclock's time to "jump" unexpectedly, e.g. when userspace
hotplugs a pre-created vCPU.
- Use RIP-relative address to read kvm_rebooting in the VM-Enter
fault paths, partly as a super minor optimization, but mostly to
make KVM play nice with position independent executable builds.
- Guard KVM-on-HyperV's range-based TLB flush hooks with an #ifdef on
CONFIG_HYPERV as a minor optimization, and to self-document the
code.
- Add CONFIG_KVM_HYPERV to allow disabling KVM support for HyperV
"emulation" at build time.
ARM64:
- LPA2 support, adding 52bit IPA/PA capability for 4kB and 16kB base
granule sizes. Branch shared with the arm64 tree.
- Large Fine-Grained Trap rework, bringing some sanity to the
feature, although there is more to come. This comes with a prefix
branch shared with the arm64 tree.
- Some additional Nested Virtualization groundwork, mostly
introducing the NV2 VNCR support and retargetting the NV support to
that version of the architecture.
- A small set of vgic fixes and associated cleanups.
Loongarch:
- Optimization for memslot hugepage checking
- Cleanup and fix some HW/SW timer issues
- Add LSX/LASX (128bit/256bit SIMD) support
RISC-V:
- KVM_GET_REG_LIST improvement for vector registers
- Generate ISA extension reg_list using macros in get-reg-list
selftest
- Support for reporting steal time along with selftest
s390:
- Bugfixes
Selftests:
- Fix an annoying goof where the NX hugepage test prints out garbage
instead of the magic token needed to run the test.
- Fix build errors when a header is delete/moved due to a missing
flag in the Makefile.
- Detect if KVM bugged/killed a selftest's VM and print out a helpful
message instead of complaining that a random ioctl() failed.
- Annotate the guest printf/assert helpers with __printf(), and fix
the various bugs that were lurking due to lack of said annotation"

This series provides support running Vector in kernel mode.
Additionally, kernel-mode Vector can be configured to run without
turnning off preemption on a CONFIG_PREEMPT kernel. Along with the
suport, we add Vector optimized copy_{to,from}_user. And provide a
simple threshold to decide when to run the vectorized functions.
We decided to drop vectorized memcpy/memset/memmove for the moment due
to the concern of memory side-effect in kernel_vector_begin(). The
detailed description can be found at v9[0]
This series is composed by 4 parts:
patch 1-4: adds basic support for kernel-mode Vector
patch 5: includes vectorized copy_{to,from}_user into the kernel
patch 6: refactor context switch code in fpu [1]
patch 7-10: provides some code refactors and support for preemptible
kernel-mode Vector.
This series can be merged if we feel any part of {1~4, 5, 6, 7~10} is
mature enough.
This patch is tested on a QEMU with V and verified that booting, normal
userspace operations all work as usual with thresholds set to 0. Also,
we test by launching multiple kernel threads which continuously executes
and verifies Vector operations in the background. The module that tests
these operation is expected to be upstream later.

Add kernel_vstate to keep track of kernel-mode Vector registers when
trap introduced context switch happens. Also, provide riscv_v_flags to
let context save/restore routine track context status. Context tracking
happens whenever the core starts its in-kernel Vector executions. An
active (dirty) kernel task's V contexts will be saved to memory whenever
a trap-introduced context switch happens. Or, when a softirq, which
happens to nest on top of it, uses Vector. Context retoring happens when
the execution transfer back to the original Kernel context where it
first enable preempt_v.
Also, provide a config CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_V_PREEMPTIVE to give users an
option to disable preemptible kernel-mode Vector at build time. Users
with constraint memory may want to disable this config as preemptible
kernel-mode Vector needs extra space for tracking of per thread's
kernel-mode V context. Or, users might as well want to disable it if all
kernel-mode Vector code is time sensitive and cannot tolerate context
switch overhead.

it is possbile to use kmem_cache_* to manage the allocation. This gives

riscv_v_vstate_{save,restore}() can operate only on the knowlege of
struct __riscv_v_ext_state, and struct pt_regs. Let the caller decides
which should be passed into the function. Meanwhile, the kernel-mode
Vector is going to introduce another vstate, so this also makes functions
potentially able to be reused.

This patch utilizes Vector to perform copy_to_user/copy_from_user. If
Vector is available and the size of copy is large enough for Vector to
perform better than scalar, then direct the kernel to do Vector copies
for userspace. Though the best programming practice for users is to
reduce the copy, this provides a faster variant when copies are
inevitable.
The optimal size for using Vector, copy_to_user_thres, is only a
heuristic for now. We can add DT parsing if people feel the need of
customizing it.
The exception fixup code of the __asm_vector_usercopy must fallback to
the scalar one because accessing user pages might fault, and must be
sleepable. Current kernel-mode Vector does not allow tasks to be
preemptible, so we must disactivate Vector and perform a scalar fallback
in such case.
The original implementation of Vector operations comes from
https://github.com/sifive/sifive-libc, which we agree to contribute to
Linux kernel.

User will use its Vector registers only after the kernel really returns
to the userspace. So we can delay restoring Vector registers as long as
we are still running in kernel mode. So, add a thread flag to indicates
the need of restoring Vector and do the restore at the last
arch-specific exit-to-user hook. This save the context restoring cost
when we switch over multiple processes that run V in kernel mode. For
example, if the kernel performs a context swicth from A->B->C, and
returns to C's userspace, then there is no need to restore B's
V-register.
Besides, this also prevents us from repeatedly restoring V context when
executing kernel-mode Vector multiple times.
The cost of this is that we must disable preemption and mark vector as
busy during vstate_{save,restore}. Because then the V context will not
get restored back immediately when a trap-causing context switch happens
in the middle of vstate_{save,restore}.

The goal of this patch is to provide full support of Vector in kernel
softirq context. So that some of the crypto alogrithms won't need scalar
fallbacks.
By disabling bottom halves in active kernel-mode Vector, softirq will
not be able to nest on top of any kernel-mode Vector. So, softirq
context is able to use Vector whenever it runs.
After this patch, Vector context cannot start with irqs disabled.
Otherwise local_bh_enable() may run in a wrong context.
Disabling bh is not enough for RT-kernel to prevent preeemption. So
we must disable preemption, which also implies disabling bh on RT.

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"The most interesting thing is probably the networking structs
reorganization and a significant amount of changes is around
self-tests.
Core & protocols:
- Analyze and reorganize core networking structs (socks, netdev,
netns, mibs) to optimize cacheline consumption and set up build
time warnings to safeguard against future header changes
This improves TCP performances with many concurrent connections up
to 40%
- Add page-pool netlink-based introspection, exposing the memory
usage and recycling stats. This helps indentify bad PP users and
possible leaks
- Refine TCP/DCCP source port selection to no longer favor even
source port at connect() time when IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE is set. This
lowers the time taken by connect() for hosts having many active
connections to the same destination
- Refactor the TCP bind conflict code, shrinking related socket
structs
- Refactor TCP SYN-Cookie handling, as a preparation step to allow
arbitrary SYN-Cookie processing via eBPF
- Tune optmem_max for 0-copy usage, increasing the default value to
128KB and namespecifying it
- Allow coalescing for cloned skbs coming from page pools, improving
RX performances with some common configurations
- Reduce extension header parsing overhead at GRO time
- Add bridge MDB bulk deletion support, allowing user-space to
request the deletion of matching entries
- Reorder nftables struct members, to keep data accessed by the
datapath first
- Introduce TC block ports tracking and use. This allows supporting
multicast-like behavior at the TC layer
- Remove UAPI support for retired TC qdiscs (dsmark, CBQ and ATM) and
classifiers (RSVP and tcindex)
- More data-race annotations
- Extend the diag interface to dump TCP bound-only sockets
- Conditional notification of events for TC qdisc class and actions
- Support for WPAN dynamic associations with nearby devices, to form
a sub-network using a specific PAN ID
- Implement SMCv2.1 virtual ISM device support
- Add support for Batman-avd mulicast packet type
BPF:
- Tons of verifier improvements:
- BPF register bounds logic and range support along with a large
test suite
- log improvements
- complete precision tracking support for register spills
- track aligned STACK_ZERO cases as imprecise spilled registers.
This improves the verifier "instructions processed" metric from
single digit to 50-60% for some programs
- support for user's global BPF subprogram arguments with few
commonly requested annotations for a better developer
experience
- support tracking of BPF_JNE which helps cases when the compiler
transforms (unsigned) "a > 0" into "if a == 0 goto xxx" and the
like
- several fixes
- Add initial TX metadata implementation for AF_XDP with support in
mlx5 and stmmac drivers. Two types of offloads are supported right
now, that is, TX timestamp and TX checksum offload
- Fix kCFI bugs in BPF all forms of indirect calls from BPF into
kernel and from kernel into BPF work with CFI enabled. This allows
BPF to work with CONFIG_FINEIBT=y
- Change BPF verifier logic to validate global subprograms lazily
instead of unconditionally before the main program, so they can be
guarded using BPF CO-RE techniques
- Support uid/gid options when mounting bpffs
- Add a new kfunc which acquires the associated cgroup of a task
within a specific cgroup v1 hierarchy where the latter is
identified by its id
- Extend verifier to allow bpf_refcount_acquire() of a map value
field obtained via direct load which is a use-case needed in
sched_ext
- Add BPF link_info support for uprobe multi link along with bpftool
integration for the latter
- Support for VLAN tag in XDP hints
- Remove deprecated bpfilter kernel leftovers given the project is
developed in user-space (https://github.com/facebook/bpfilter)
Misc:
- Support for parellel TC self-tests execution
- Increase MPTCP self-tests coverage
- Updated the bridge documentation, including several so-far
undocumented features
- Convert all the net self-tests to run in unique netns, to avoid
random failures due to conflict and allow concurrent runs
- Add TCP-AO self-tests
- Add kunit tests for both cfg80211 and mac80211
- Autogenerate Netlink families documentation from YAML spec
- Add yml-gen support for fixed headers and recursive nests, the tool
can now generate user-space code for all genetlink families for
which we have specs
- A bunch of additional module descriptions fixes
- Catch incorrect freeing of pages belonging to a page pool
Driver API:
- Rust abstractions for network PHY drivers; do not cover yet the
full C API, but already allow implementing functional PHY drivers
in rust
- Introduce queue and NAPI support in the netdev Netlink interface,
allowing complete access to the device <> NAPIs <> queues
relationship
- Introduce notifications filtering for devlink to allow control
application scale to thousands of instances
- Improve PHY validation, requesting rate matching information for
each ethtool link mode supported by both the PHY and host
- Add support for ethtool symmetric-xor RSS hash
