Upon a wakeup from S4, the restore kernel starts and initializes the
FRED MSRs as needed from its perspective. It then loads a hibernation
image, including the image kernel, and attempts to load image pages
directly into their original page frames used before hibernation unless
those frames are currently in use. Once all pages are moved to their
original locations, it jumps to a "trampoline" page in the image kernel.
At this point, the image kernel takes control, but the FRED MSRs still
contain values set by the restore kernel, which may differ from those
set by the image kernel before hibernation. Therefore, the image kernel
must ensure the FRED MSRs have the same values as before hibernation.
Since these values depend only on the location of the kernel text and
data, they can be recomputed from scratch.

The expected_testcase_failures variable in the NMI selftest has never
been set since its introduction. Remove this unused variable along with
the related checks to simplify the code.
While at it, replace printk() with the corresponding pr_{cont,info}()
calls. Also, get rid of the superfluous testname wrapper and the
redundant file path comment.

NMI handlers can be registered by various subsystems, including drivers.
However, the interface for registering and unregistering such handlers
is not clearly documented. In the future, the interface may need to be
extended to identify the source of the NMI.
Add documentation to make the current API more understandable and easier
to use.

Some of the comments in the default NMI handling code are out of place
or inadequate. Move them to the appropriate locations and update them as
needed.
Move the comment related to CPU-specific NMIs closer to the actual code.
Also, add more details about how back-to-back NMIs are detected since
that isn't immediately obvious.
Opportunistically, replace an #ifdef section in the vicinity with an
IS_ENABLED() check to make the code easier to read.

The comment in unknown_nmi_error() is incorrect and misleading. There
is no longer a restriction on having a single Unknown NMI handler. Also,
nmi_handle() never used the 'b2b' parameter.
The commits that made the comment outdated are:
0d443b70cc92 ("x86/platform: Remove warning message for duplicate NMI handlers")
bf9f2ee28d47 ("x86/nmi: Remove the 'b2b' parameter from nmi_handle()")

The NMI descriptors for each NMI type are stored in an array. However,
they are currently initialized using raw numbers, which makes it
difficult to understand the code.
Introduce a macro to initialize the NMI descriptors using the NMI type
enum values to make the code more readable.
No functional change intended.

Commit:
c305a4e98378 ("x86: Move sysctls into arch/x86")
recently moved the sysctl handling of panic_on_unrecovered_nmi and
panic_on_io_nmi to x86-specific code. These variables no longer need to
be declared in the generic header file.
Relocate the variable definitions and declarations closer to where they
are used. This makes all the NMI panic options consistent and easier to
track.

The unknown_nmi_panic variable is used to control whether the kernel
should panic on unknown NMIs. There is a sysctl entry under:
/proc/sys/kernel/unknown_nmi_panic
which can be used to change the behavior at runtime.
However, it seems that in some places, the option unnecessarily depends
on CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC. Other code in nmi.c uses unknown_nmi_panic
without such a dependency. This results in a few messy #ifdefs
splattered across the code. The dependency was likely introduce due to a
potential build bug reported a long time ago:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/40BC67F9.3000609@myrealbox.com/
This build bug no longer exists.
Also, similar NMI panic options, such as panic_on_unrecovered_nmi and
panic_on_io_nmi, do not have an explicit dependency on the local APIC
either.
Though, it's hard to imagine a production system without the local APIC
configuration, making a specific NMI sysctl option dependent on it
doesn't make sense.
Remove the explicit dependency between unknown NMI handling and the
local APIC to make the code cleaner and more consistent.
While at it, reorder the header includes to maintain alphabetical order.

to not increase max_pfn and trigger dma_addressing_limited() bounce buffers
As Bert Karwatzki reported, the following recent commit causes a
performance regression on AMD iGPU and dGPU systems:
7ffb791423c7 ("x86/kaslr: Reduce KASLR entropy on most x86 systems")
It exposed a bug with nokaslr and zone device interaction.
The root cause of the bug is that, the GPU driver registers a zone
device private memory region. When KASLR is disabled or the above commit
is applied, the direct_map_physmem_end is set to much higher than 10 TiB
typically to the 64TiB address. When zone device private memory is added
to the system via add_pages(), it bumps up the max_pfn to the same
value. This causes dma_addressing_limited() to return true, since the
device cannot address memory all the way up to max_pfn.
This caused a regression for games played on the iGPU, as it resulted in
the DMA32 zone being used for GPU allocations.
Fix this by not bumping up max_pfn on x86 systems, when pgmap is passed
into add_pages(). The presence of pgmap is used to determine if device
private memory is being added via add_pages().
More details:
devm_request_mem_region() and request_free_mem_region() request for
device private memory. iomem_resource is passed as the base resource
with start and end parameters. iomem_resource's end depends on several
factors, including the platform and virtualization. On x86 for example
on bare metal, this value is set to boot_cpu_data.x86_phys_bits.
boot_cpu_data.x86_phys_bits can change depending on support for MKTME.
By default it is set to the same as log2(direct_map_physmem_end) which

It turns out the code to generate the x86 cpufeaturemasks.h header was
way too aggressive, and would re-generate it whenever the timestamp on
the kernel config file changed.
Now, the regular 'make *config' tools are fairly careful to not rewrite
the kernel config file unless the contents change, but other usecases
aren't that careful.
Michael Kelley reports that 'make-kpkg' ends up doing "make syncconfig"
multiple times in prepping to build, and will modify the config file in
the process (and then modify it back, but by then the timestamps have
changed).
Jakub Kicinski reports that the netdev CI does something similar in how
it generates the config file in multiple steps.
In both cases, the config file timestamp updates then cause the
cpufeaturemasks.h file to be regenerated, and that in turn then causes
lots of unnecessary rebuilds due to all the normal dependencies.
Fix it by using our 'filechk' infrastructure in the Makefile to generate
the header file. That will only write a new version of the file if the
contents of the file have actually changed.

Pull bpf relisient spinlock support from Alexei Starovoitov:
"This patch set introduces Resilient Queued Spin Lock (or rqspinlock
with res_spin_lock() and res_spin_unlock() APIs).
This is a qspinlock variant which recovers the kernel from a stalled
state when the lock acquisition path cannot make forward progress.
This can occur when a lock acquisition attempt enters a deadlock
situation (e.g. AA, or ABBA), or more generally, when the owner of the
lock (which we’re trying to acquire) isn’t making forward progress.
Deadlock detection is the main mechanism used to provide instant
recovery, with the timeout mechanism acting as a final line of
defense. Detection is triggered immediately when beginning the waiting
loop of a lock slow path.
Additionally, BPF programs attached to different parts of the kernel
can introduce new control flow into the kernel, which increases the
likelihood of deadlocks in code not written to handle reentrancy.
There have been multiple syzbot reports surfacing deadlocks in
internal kernel code due to the diverse ways in which BPF programs can
be attached to different parts of the kernel. By switching the BPF
subsystem’s lock usage to rqspinlock, all of these issues are
mitigated at runtime.
This spin lock implementation allows BPF maps to become safer and
remove mechanisms that have fallen short in assuring safety when
nesting programs in arbitrary ways in the same context or across
different contexts.
We run benchmarks that stress locking scalability and perform
comparison against the baseline (qspinlock). For the rqspinlock case,
we replace the default qspinlock with it in the kernel, such that all
spin locks in the kernel use the rqspinlock slow path. As such,
benchmarks that stress kernel spin locks end up exercising rqspinlock.

copy_user_generic(), on non-FSRM/ERMS CPUs
History of the performance regression:
======================================
Since the following series of user copy updates were merged upstream
~2 years ago via:
a5624566431d ("Merge branch 'x86-rep-insns': x86 user copy clarifications")
.. copy_user_generic() on x86_64 stopped doing alignment of the
writes to the destination to a 8 byte boundary for the non FSRM case.
Previously, this was done through the ALIGN_DESTINATION macro that
was used in the now removed copy_user_generic_unrolled function.
Turns out this change causes some loss of performance/throughput on
some use cases and specific CPU/platforms without FSRM and ERMS.
Lately I got two reports of performance/throughput issues after a
RHEL 9 kernel pulled the same upstream series with updates to user
copy functions. Both reports consisted of running specific
networking/TCP related testing using iperf3.
Partial upstream fix
====================
The first report was related to a Linux Bridge testing using VMs on a
specific machine with an AMD CPU (EPYC 7402), and after a brief
investigation it turned out that the later change via:
ca96b162bfd2 ("x86: bring back rep movsq for user access on CPUs without ERMS")
... helped/fixed the performance issue.
However, after the later commit/fix was applied, then I got another
regression reported in a multistream TCP test on a 100Gbit mlx5 nic, also
running on an AMD based platform (AMD EPYC 7302 CPU), again that was using
iperf3 to run the test. That regression was after applying the later
fix/commit, but only this didn't help in telling the whole history.
Testing performed to pinpoint residual regression
=================================================
So I narrowed down the second regression use case, but running it
without traffic through a NIC, on localhost, in trying to narrow down
CPU usage and not being limited by other factor like network bandwidth.
I used another system also with an AMD CPU (AMD EPYC 7742). Basically,
I run iperf3 in server and client mode in the same system, for example:
- Start the server binding it to CPU core/thread 19:
$ taskset -c 19 iperf3 -D -s -B 127.0.0.1 -p 12000
- Start the client always binding/running on CPU core/thread 17, using
perf to get statistics:
$ perf stat -o stat.txt taskset -c 17 iperf3 -c 127.0.0.1 -b 0/1000 -V \
-n 50G --repeating-payload -l 16384 -p 12000 --cport 12001 2>&1 \
> stat-19.txt
For the client, always running/pinned to CPU 17. But for the iperf3 in
server mode, I did test runs using CPUs 19, 21, 23 or not pinned to any
specific CPU. So it basically consisted with four runs of the same
commands, just changing the CPU which the server is pinned, or without
pinning by removing the taskset call before the server command. The CPUs
were chosen based on NUMA node they were on, this is the relevant output
of lscpu on the system:
$ lscpu
...
Model name: AMD EPYC 7742 64-Core Processor
...
Caches (sum of all):
L1d: 2 MiB (64 instances)
L1i: 2 MiB (64 instances)
L2: 32 MiB (64 instances)
L3: 256 MiB (16 instances)
NUMA:
NUMA node(s): 4
NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0,1,8,9,16,17,24,25,32,33,40,41,48,49,56,57,64,65,72,73,80,81,88,89,96,97,104,105,112,113,120,121
NUMA node1 CPU(s): 2,3,10,11,18,19,26,27,34,35,42,43,50,51,58,59,66,67,74,75,82,83,90,91,98,99,106,107,114,115,122,123
NUMA node2 CPU(s): 4,5,12,13,20,21,28,29,36,37,44,45,52,53,60,61,68,69,76,77,84,85,92,93,100,101,108,109,116,117,124,125

...
So for the server run, when picking a CPU, I chose CPUs to be not on the same
node. The reason is with that I was able to get/measure relevant
performance differences when changing the alignment of the writes to the
destination in copy_user_generic.
Testing shows up to +81% performance improvement under iperf3
=============================================================
Here's a summary of the iperf3 runs:
# Vanilla upstream alignment:
CPU RATE SYS TIME sender-receiver
Server bind 19: 13.0Gbits/sec 28.371851000 33.233499566 86.9%-70.8%
Server bind 21: 12.9Gbits/sec 28.283381000 33.586486621 85.8%-69.9%
Server bind 23: 11.1Gbits/sec 33.660190000 39.012243176 87.7%-64.5%
Server bind none: 18.9Gbits/sec 19.215339000 22.875117865 86.0%-80.5%
# With the attached patch (aligning writes in non ERMS/FSRM case):
CPU RATE SYS TIME sender-receiver
Server bind 19: 20.8Gbits/sec 14.897284000 20.811101382 75.7%-89.0%
Server bind 21: 20.4Gbits/sec 15.205055000 21.263165909 75.4%-89.7%
Server bind 23: 20.2Gbits/sec 15.433801000 21.456175000 75.5%-89.8%
Server bind none: 26.1Gbits/sec 12.534022000 16.632447315 79.8%-89.6%
So I consistently got better results when aligning the write. The
results above were run on 6.14.0-rc6/rc7 based kernels. The sys is sys
time and then the total time to run/transfer 50G of data. The last
field is the CPU usage of sender/receiver iperf3 process. It's also
worth to note that each pair of iperf3 runs may get slightly different
results on each run, but I always got consistent higher results with
the write alignment for this specific test of running the processes
on CPUs in different NUMA nodes.
Linus Torvalds helped/provided this version of the patch. Initially I
proposed a version which aligned writes for all cases in
rep_movs_alternative, however it used two extra registers and thus
Linus provided an enhanced version that only aligns the write on the
large_movsq case, which is sufficient since the problem happens only
on those AMD CPUs like ones mentioned above without ERMS/FSRM, and
also doesn't require using extra registers. Also, I validated that
aligning only on large_movsq case is really enough for getting the
performance back.
I also tested this patch on an old Intel based non-ERMS/FRMS system
(with Xeon E5-2667 - Sandy Bridge based) and didn't get any problems:
no performance enhancement but also no regression either, using the
same iperf3 based benchmark. Also newer Intel processors after
Sandy Bridge usually have ERMS and should not be affected by this change.

Pull sysctl updates from Joel Granados:
- Move vm_table members out of kernel/sysctl.c
All vm_table array members have moved to their respective subsystems
leading to the removal of vm_table from kernel/sysctl.c. This
increases modularity by placing the ctl_tables closer to where they
are actually used and at the same time reducing the chances of merge
conflicts in kernel/sysctl.c.
- ctl_table range fixes
Replace the proc_handler function that checks variable ranges in
coredump_sysctls and vdso_table with the one that actually uses the
extra{1,2} pointers as min/max values. This tightens the range of the
values that users can pass into the kernel effectively preventing
{under,over}flows.

Direct HLT instruction execution causes #VEs for TDX VMs which is routed
to hypervisor via TDCALL. safe_halt() routines execute HLT in STI-shadow
so IRQs need to remain disabled until the TDCALL to ensure that pending
IRQs are correctly treated as wake events.
Emit warning and fail emulation if IRQs are enabled during HLT #VE handling
to avoid running into scenarios where IRQ wake events are lost resulting in
indefinite HLT execution times.

Direct HLT instruction execution causes #VEs for TDX VMs which is routed
to hypervisor via TDCALL. If HLT is executed in STI-shadow, resulting #VE
handler will enable interrupts before TDCALL is routed to hypervisor
leading to missed wakeup events, as current TDX spec doesn't expose
interruptibility state information to allow #VE handler to selectively
enable interrupts.
Commit bfe6ed0c6727 ("x86/tdx: Add HLT support for TDX guests")
prevented the idle routines from executing HLT instruction in STI-shadow.
But it missed the paravirt routine which can be reached via this path
as an example:
kvm_wait() =>
safe_halt() =>
raw_safe_halt() =>
arch_safe_halt() =>
irq.safe_halt() =>
pv_native_safe_halt()
To reliably handle arch_safe_halt() for TDX VMs, introduce explicit
dependency on CONFIG_PARAVIRT and override paravirt halt()/safe_halt()
routines with TDX-safe versions that execute direct TDCALL and needed
interrupt flag updates. Executing direct TDCALL brings in additional
benefit of avoiding HLT related #VEs altogether.
As tested by Ryan Afranji:
"Tested with the specjbb2015 benchmark. It has heavy lock contention which leads
to many halt calls. TDX VMs suffered a poor score before this patchset.
Verified the major performance improvement with this patchset applied."

CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL is mainly defined/used by XEN PV guests. For
other VM guest types, features supported under CONFIG_PARAVIRT
are self sufficient. CONFIG_PARAVIRT mainly provides support for
TLB flush operations and time related operations.
For TDX guest as well, paravirt calls under CONFIG_PARVIRT meets
most of its requirement except the need of HLT and SAFE_HLT
paravirt calls, which is currently defined under
CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL.
Since enabling CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL is too bloated for TDX guest
like platforms, move HLT and SAFE_HLT paravirt calls under
CONFIG_PARAVIRT.
Moving HLT and SAFE_HLT paravirt calls are not fatal and should not
break any functionality for current users of CONFIG_PARAVIRT.

I'm volunteering to look after the credentials code and Serge Hallyn

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"These are dominated by cpufreq updates which in turn are dominated by
updates related to boost support in the core and drivers and
amd-pstate driver optimizations.
Apart from the above, there are some cpuidle updates including a
rework of the most recent idle intervals handling in the venerable
menu governor that leads to significant improvements in some
performance benchmarks, as the governor is now more likely to predict
a shorter idle duration in some cases, and there are updates of the
core device power management code, mostly related to system suspend
and resume, that should help to avoid potential issues arising when
the drivers of devices depending on one another want to use different
optimizations.
There is also a usual collection of assorted fixes and cleanups,
including removal of some unused code.
Specifics:
- Manage sysfs attributes and boost frequencies efficiently from
cpufreq core to reduce boilerplate code in drivers (Viresh Kumar)
- Minor cleanups to cpufreq drivers (Aaron Kling, Benjamin Schneider,
Dhananjay Ugwekar, Imran Shaik, zuoqian)
- Migrate some cpufreq drivers to using for_each_present_cpu() (Jacky
Bai)
- cpufreq-qcom-hw DT binding fixes (Krzysztof Kozlowski)
- Use str_enable_disable() helper in cpufreq_online() (Lifeng Zheng)
- Optimize the amd-pstate driver to avoid cases where call paths end
up calling the same writes multiple times and needlessly caching
variables through code reorganization, locking overhaul and tracing
adjustments (Mario Limonciello, Dhananjay Ugwekar)
- Make it possible to avoid enabling capacity-aware scheduling (CAS)
in the intel_pstate driver and relocate a check for out-of-band
(OOB) platform handling in it to make it detect OOB before checking
HWP availability (Rafael Wysocki)
- Fix dbs_update() to avoid inadvertent conversions of negative
integer values to unsigned int which causes CPU frequency selection
to be inaccurate in some cases when the "conservative" cpufreq
governor is in use (Jie Zhan)
- Update the handling of the most recent idle intervals in the menu
cpuidle governor to prevent useful information from being discarded
by it in some cases and improve the prediction accuracy (Rafael
Wysocki)
- Make it possible to tell the intel_idle driver to ignore its
built-in table of idle states for the given processor, clean up the
handling of auto-demotion disabling on Baytrail and Cherrytrail
chips in it, and update its MAINTAINERS entry (David Arcari, Artem
Bityutskiy, Rafael Wysocki)
- Make some cpuidle drivers use for_each_present_cpu() instead of
for_each_possible_cpu() during initialization to avoid issues
occurring when nosmp or maxcpus=0 are used (Jacky Bai)
- Clean up the Energy Model handling code somewhat (Rafael Wysocki)
- Use kfree_rcu() to simplify the handling of runtime Energy Model
updates (Li RongQing)
- Add an entry for the Energy Model framework to MAINTAINERS as
properly maintained (Lukasz Luba)
- Address RCU-related sparse warnings in the Energy Model code
(Rafael Wysocki)
- Remove ENERGY_MODEL dependency on SMP and allow it to be selected
when DEVFREQ is set without CPUFREQ so it can be used on a wider
range of systems (Jeson Gao)
- Unify error handling during runtime suspend and runtime resume in
the core to help drivers to implement more consistent runtime PM
error handling (Rafael Wysocki)
- Drop a redundant check from pm_runtime_force_resume() and rearrange
documentation related to __pm_runtime_disable() (Rafael Wysocki)
- Rework the handling of the "smart suspend" driver flag in the PM
core to avoid issues hat may occur when drivers using it depend on
some other drivers and clean up the related PM core code (Rafael
Wysocki, Colin Ian King)
- Fix the handling of devices with the power.direct_complete flag set
if device_suspend() returns an error for at least one device to
avoid situations in which some of them may not be resumed (Rafael
Wysocki)
- Use mutex_trylock() in hibernate_compressor_param_set() to avoid a
possible deadlock that may occur if the "compressor" hibernation
module parameter is accessed during the registration of a new
ieee80211 device (Lizhi Xu)
- Suppress sleeping parent warning in device_pm_add() in the case
when new children are added under a device with the
power.direct_complete set after it has been processed by
device_resume() (Xu Yang)
- Remove needless return in three void functions related to system
wakeup (Zijun Hu)
- Replace deprecated kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page() in the
hibernation core code (David Reaver)
- Remove unused helper functions related to system sleep (David Alan
Gilbert)
- Clean up s2idle_enter() so it does not lock and unlock CPU offline
in vain and update comments in it (Ulf Hansson)
- Clean up broken white space in dpm_wait_for_children() (Geert
Uytterhoeven)
- Update the cpupower utility to fix lib version-ing in it and memory
leaks in error legs, remove hard-coded values, and implement CPU

If track_pfn_copy() fails, we already added the dst VMA to the maple
tree. As fork() fails, we'll cleanup the maple tree, and stumble over
the dst VMA for which we neither performed any reservation nor copied
any page tables.
Consequently untrack_pfn() will see VM_PAT and try obtaining the
PAT information from the page table -- which fails because the page
table was not copied.
The easiest fix would be to simply clear the VM_PAT flag of the dst VMA
if track_pfn_copy() fails. However, the whole thing is about "simply"
clearing the VM_PAT flag is shaky as well: if we passed track_pfn_copy()
and performed a reservation, but copying the page tables fails, we'll
simply clear the VM_PAT flag, not properly undoing the reservation ...
which is also wrong.
So let's fix it properly: set the VM_PAT flag only if the reservation
succeeded (leaving it clear initially), and undo the reservation if
anything goes wrong while copying the page tables: clearing the VM_PAT
flag after undoing the reservation.
Note that any copied page table entries will get zapped when the VMA will
get removed later, after copy_page_range() succeeded; as VM_PAT is not set
then, we won't try cleaning VM_PAT up once more and untrack_pfn() will be
happy. Note that leaving these page tables in place without a reservation
is not a problem, as we are aborting fork(); this process will never run.
A reproducer can trigger this usually at the first try:

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM:
- Nested virtualization support for VGICv3, giving the nested
hypervisor control of the VGIC hardware when running an L2 VM
- Removal of 'late' nested virtualization feature register masking,
making the supported feature set directly visible to userspace
- Support for emulating FEAT_PMUv3 on Apple silicon, taking advantage
of an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED trap that covers all PMUv3 registers
- Paravirtual interface for discovering the set of CPU
implementations where a VM may run, addressing a longstanding issue
of guest CPU errata awareness in big-little systems and
cross-implementation VM migration
- Userspace control of the registers responsible for identifying a
particular CPU implementation (MIDR_EL1, REVIDR_EL1, AIDR_EL1),
allowing VMs to be migrated cross-implementation
- pKVM updates, including support for tracking stage-2 page table
allocations in the protected hypervisor in the 'SecPageTable' stat
- Fixes to vPMU, ensuring that userspace updates to the vPMU after
KVM_RUN are reflected into the backing perf events
LoongArch:
- Remove unnecessary header include path
- Assume constant PGD during VM context switch
- Add perf events support for guest VM
RISC-V:
- Disable the kernel perf counter during configure
- KVM selftests improvements for PMU
- Fix warning at the time of KVM module removal
x86:
- Add support for aging of SPTEs without holding mmu_lock.
Not taking mmu_lock allows multiple aging actions to run in
parallel, and more importantly avoids stalling vCPUs. This includes
an implementation of per-rmap-entry locking; aging the gfn is done
with only a per-rmap single-bin spinlock taken, whereas locking an
rmap for write requires taking both the per-rmap spinlock and the
mmu_lock.
Note that this decreases slightly the accuracy of accessed-page
information, because changes to the SPTE outside aging might not
use atomic operations even if they could race against a clear of
the Accessed bit.
This is deliberate because KVM and mm/ tolerate false
positives/negatives for accessed information, and testing has shown
that reducing the latency of aging is far more beneficial to
overall system performance than providing "perfect" young/old
information.
- Defer runtime CPUID updates until KVM emulates a CPUID instruction,
to coalesce updates when multiple pieces of vCPU state are
changing, e.g. as part of a nested transition
- Fix a variety of nested emulation bugs, and add VMX support for
synthesizing nested VM-Exit on interception (instead of injecting
#UD into L2)
- Drop "support" for async page faults for protected guests that do
not set SEND_ALWAYS (i.e. that only want async page faults at CPL3)
- Bring a bit of sanity to x86's VM teardown code, which has
accumulated a lot of cruft over the years. Particularly, destroy
vCPUs before the MMU, despite the latter being a VM-wide operation
- Add common secure TSC infrastructure for use within SNP and in the
future TDX
- Block KVM_CAP_SYNC_REGS if guest state is protected. It does not
make sense to use the capability if the relevant registers are not
available for reading or writing
- Don't take kvm->lock when iterating over vCPUs in the suspend
notifier to fix a largely theoretical deadlock
- Use the vCPU's actual Xen PV clock information when starting the
Xen timer, as the cached state in arch.hv_clock can be stale/bogus
- Fix a bug where KVM could bleed PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED across
different PV clocks; restrict PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED to kvmclock, as
KVM's suspend notifier only accounts for kvmclock, and there's no
evidence that the flag is actually supported by Xen guests
- Clean up the per-vCPU "cache" of its reference pvclock, and instead
only track the vCPU's TSC scaling (multipler+shift) metadata (which
is moderately expensive to compute, and rarely changes for modern
setups)
- Don't write to the Xen hypercall page on MSR writes that are
initiated by the host (userspace or KVM) to fix a class of bugs
where KVM can write to guest memory at unexpected times, e.g.
during vCPU creation if userspace has set the Xen hypercall MSR
index to collide with an MSR that KVM emulates
- Restrict the Xen hypercall MSR index to the unofficial synthetic
range to reduce the set of possible collisions with MSRs that are
emulated by KVM (collisions can still happen as KVM emulates
Hyper-V MSRs, which also reside in the synthetic range)
- Clean up and optimize KVM's handling of Xen MSR writes and
xen_hvm_config
- Update Xen TSC leaves during CPUID emulation instead of modifying
the CPUID entries when updating PV clocks; there is no guarantee PV
clocks will be updated between TSC frequency changes and CPUID
emulation, and guest reads of the TSC leaves should be rare, i.e.
are not a hot path
x86 (Intel):
- Fix a bug where KVM unnecessarily reads XFD_ERR from hardware and
thus modifies the vCPU's XFD_ERR on a #NM due to CR0.TS=1
- Pass XFD_ERR as the payload when injecting #NM, as a preparatory
step for upcoming FRED virtualization support
- Decouple the EPT entry RWX protection bit macros from the EPT
Violation bits, both as a general cleanup and in anticipation of
adding support for emulating Mode-Based Execution Control (MBEC)
- Reject KVM_RUN if userspace manages to gain control and stuff
invalid guest state while KVM is in the middle of emulating nested
VM-Enter
- Add a macro to handle KVM's sanity checks on entry/exit VMCS
control pairs in anticipation of adding sanity checks for secondary
exit controls (the primary field is out of bits)
x86 (AMD):
- Ensure the PSP driver is initialized when both the PSP and KVM
modules are built-in (the initcall framework doesn't handle
dependencies)
- Use long-term pins when registering encrypted memory regions, so
that the pages are migrated out of MIGRATE_CMA/ZONE_MOVABLE and
don't lead to excessive fragmentation
- Add macros and helpers for setting GHCB return/error codes
- Add support for Idle HLT interception, which elides interception if
the vCPU has a pending, unmasked virtual IRQ when HLT is executed
- Fix a bug in INVPCID emulation where KVM fails to check for a
non-canonical address
- Don't attempt VMRUN for SEV-ES+ guests if the vCPU's VMSA is
invalid, e.g. because the vCPU was "destroyed" via SNP's AP
Creation hypercall
- Reject SNP AP Creation if the requested SEV features for the vCPU
don't match the VM's configured set of features
Selftests:
- Fix again the Intel PMU counters test; add a data load and do
CLFLUSH{OPT} on the data instead of executing code. The theory is
that modern Intel CPUs have learned new code prefetching tricks
that bypass the PMU counters
- Fix a flaw in the Intel PMU counters test where it asserts that an
event is counting correctly without actually knowing what the event
counts on the underlying hardware
- Fix a variety of flaws, bugs, and false failures/passes
dirty_log_test, and improve its coverage by collecting all dirty
entries on each iteration
- Fix a few minor bugs related to handling of stats FDs
- Add infrastructure to make vCPU and VM stats FDs available to tests
by default (open the FDs during VM/vCPU creation)
- Relax an assertion on the number of HLT exits in the xAPIC IPI test
when running on a CPU that supports AMD's Idle HLT (which elides
interception of HLT if a virtual IRQ is pending and unmasked)"

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.

Pull timer cleanups from Thomas Gleixner:
"A treewide hrtimer timer cleanup
hrtimers are initialized with hrtimer_init() and a subsequent store to
the callback pointer. This turned out to be suboptimal for the
upcoming Rust integration and is obviously a silly implementation to
begin with.
This cleanup replaces the hrtimer_init(T); T->function = cb; sequence
with hrtimer_setup(T, cb);
The conversion was done with Coccinelle and a few manual fixups.
Once the conversion has completely landed in mainline, hrtimer_init()
