Linus Torvalds
cb5573868e Loongarch:
- Add more CPUCFG mask bits.
 
 - Improve feature detection.
 
 - Add lazy load support for FPU and binary translation (LBT) register state.
 
 - Fix return value for memory reads from and writes to in-kernel devices.
 
 - Add support for detecting preemption from within a guest.
 
 - Add KVM steal time test case to tools/selftests.
 
 ARM:
 
 - Add support for FEAT_IDST, allowing ID registers that are not
   implemented to be reported as a normal trap rather than as an UNDEF
   exception.
 
 - Add sanitisation of the VTCR_EL2 register, fixing a number of
   UXN/PXN/XN bugs in the process.
 
 - Full handling of RESx bits, instead of only RES0, and resulting in
   SCTLR_EL2 being added to the list of sanitised registers.
 
 - More pKVM fixes for features that are not supposed to be exposed to
   guests.
 
 - Make sure that MTE being disabled on the pKVM host doesn't give it
   the ability to attack the hypervisor.
 
 - Allow pKVM's host stage-2 mappings to use the Force Write Back
   version of the memory attributes by using the "pass-through'
   encoding.
 
 - Fix trapping of ICC_DIR_EL1 on GICv5 hosts emulating GICv3 for the
   guest.
 
 - Preliminary work for guest GICv5 support.
 
 - A bunch of debugfs fixes, removing pointless custom iterators stored
   in guest data structures.
 
 - A small set of FPSIMD cleanups.
 
 - Selftest fixes addressing the incorrect alignment of page
   allocation.
 
 - Other assorted low-impact fixes and spelling fixes.
 
 RISC-V:
 
 - Fixes for issues discoverd by KVM API fuzzing in
   kvm_riscv_aia_imsic_has_attr(), kvm_riscv_aia_imsic_rw_attr(),
   and kvm_riscv_vcpu_aia_imsic_update()
 
 - Allow Zalasr, Zilsd and Zclsd extensions for Guest/VM
 
 - Transparent huge page support for hypervisor page tables
 
 - Adjust the number of available guest irq files based on MMIO
   register sizes found in the device tree or the ACPI tables
 
 - Add RISC-V specific paging modes to KVM selftests
 
 - Detect paging mode at runtime for selftests
 
 s390:
 
 - Performance improvement for vSIE (aka nested virtualization)
 
 - Completely new memory management.  s390 was a special snowflake that enlisted
   help from the architecture's page table management to build hypervisor
   page tables, in particular enabling sharing the last level of page
   tables.  This however was a lot of code (~3K lines) in order to support
   KVM, and also blocked several features.  The biggest advantages is
   that the page size of userspace is completely independent of the
   page size used by the guest: userspace can mix normal pages, THPs and
   hugetlbfs as it sees fit, and in fact transparent hugepages were not
   possible before.  It's also now possible to have nested guests and
   guests with huge pages running on the same host.
 
 - Maintainership change for s390 vfio-pci
 
 - Small quality of life improvement for protected guests
 
 x86:
 
 - Add support for giving the guest full ownership of PMU hardware (contexted
   switched around the fastpath run loop) and allowing direct access to data
   MSRs and PMCs (restricted by the vPMU model).  KVM still intercepts
   access to control registers, e.g. to enforce event filtering and to
   prevent the guest from profiling sensitive host state.  This is more
   accurate, since it has no risk of contention and thus dropped events, and
   also has significantly less overhead.
 
   For more information, see the commit message for merge commit bf2c3138ae
   ("Merge tag 'kvm-x86-pmu-6.20' of https://github.com/kvm-x86/linux into HEAD").
 
 - Disallow changing the virtual CPU model if L2 is active, for all the same
   reasons KVM disallows change the model after the first KVM_RUN.
 
 - Fix a bug where KVM would incorrectly reject host accesses to PV MSRs
   when running with KVM_CAP_ENFORCE_PV_FEATURE_CPUID enabled, even if those
   were advertised as supported to userspace,
 
 - Fix a bug with protected guest state (SEV-ES/SNP and TDX) VMs, where KVM
   would attempt to read CR3 configuring an async #PF entry.
 
 - Fail the build if EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL or EXPORT_SYMBOL is used in KVM (for x86
   only) to enforce usage of EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_KVM_INTERNAL.  Only a few exports
   that are intended for external usage, and those are allowed explicitly.
 
 - When checking nested events after a vCPU is unblocked, ignore -EBUSY instead
   of WARNing.  Userspace can sometimes put the vCPU into what should be an
   impossible state, and spurious exit to userspace on -EBUSY does not really
   do anything to solve the issue.
 
 - Also throw in the towel and drop the WARN on INIT/SIPI being blocked when vCPU
   is in Wait-For-SIPI, which also resulted in playing whack-a-mole with syzkaller
   stuffing architecturally impossible states into KVM.
 
 - Add support for new Intel instructions that don't require anything beyond
   enumerating feature flags to userspace.
 
 - Grab SRCU when reading PDPTRs in KVM_GET_SREGS2.
 
 - Add WARNs to guard against modifying KVM's CPU caps outside of the intended
   setup flow, as nested VMX in particular is sensitive to unexpected changes
   in KVM's golden configuration.
 
 - Add a quirk to allow userspace to opt-in to actually suppress EOI broadcasts
   when the suppression feature is enabled by the guest (currently limited to
   split IRQCHIP, i.e. userspace I/O APIC).  Sadly, simply fixing KVM to honor
   Suppress EOI Broadcasts isn't an option as some userspaces have come to rely
   on KVM's buggy behavior (KVM advertises Supress EOI Broadcast irrespective
   of whether or not userspace I/O APIC supports Directed EOIs).
 
 - Clean up KVM's handling of marking mapped vCPU pages dirty.
 
 - Drop a pile of *ancient* sanity checks hidden behind in KVM's unused
   ASSERT() macro, most of which could be trivially triggered by the guest
   and/or user, and all of which were useless.
 
 - Fold "struct dest_map" into its sole user, "struct rtc_status", to make it
   more obvious what the weird parameter is used for, and to allow fropping
   these RTC shenanigans if CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=n.
 
 - Bury all of ioapic.h, i8254.h and related ioctls (including
   KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP) behind CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=y.
 
 - Add a regression test for recent APICv update fixes.
 
 - Handle "hardware APIC ISR", a.k.a. SVI, updates in kvm_apic_update_apicv()
   to consolidate the updates, and to co-locate SVI updates with the updates
   for KVM's own cache of ISR information.
 
 - Drop a dead function declaration.
 
 - Minor cleanups.
 
 x86 (Intel):
 
 - Rework KVM's handling of VMCS updates while L2 is active to temporarily
   switch to vmcs01 instead of deferring the update until the next nested
   VM-Exit.  The deferred updates approach directly contributed to several
   bugs, was proving to be a maintenance burden due to the difficulty in
   auditing the correctness of deferred updates, and was polluting
   "struct nested_vmx" with a growing pile of booleans.
 
 - Fix an SGX bug where KVM would incorrectly try to handle EPCM page faults,
   and instead always reflect them into the guest.  Since KVM doesn't shadow
   EPCM entries, EPCM violations cannot be due to KVM interference and
   can't be resolved by KVM.
 
 - Fix a bug where KVM would register its posted interrupt wakeup handler even
   if loading kvm-intel.ko ultimately failed.
 
 - Disallow access to vmcb12 fields that aren't fully supported, mostly to
   avoid weirdness and complexity for FRED and other features, where KVM wants
   enable VMCS shadowing for fields that conditionally exist.
 
 - Print out the "bad" offsets and values if kvm-intel.ko refuses to load (or
   refuses to online a CPU) due to a VMCS config mismatch.
 
 x86 (AMD):
 
 - Drop a user-triggerable WARN on nested_svm_load_cr3() failure.
 
 - Add support for virtualizing ERAPS.  Note, correct virtualization of ERAPS
   relies on an upcoming, publicly announced change in the APM to reduce the
   set of conditions where hardware (i.e. KVM) *must* flush the RAP.
 
 - Ignore nSVM intercepts for instructions that are not supported according to
   L1's virtual CPU model.
 
 - Add support for expedited writes to the fast MMIO bus, a la VMX's fastpath
   for EPT Misconfig.
 
 - Don't set GIF when clearing EFER.SVME, as GIF exists independently of SVM,
   and allow userspace to restore nested state with GIF=0.
 
 - Treat exit_code as an unsigned 64-bit value through all of KVM.
 
 - Add support for fetching SNP certificates from userspace.
 
 - Fix a bug where KVM would use vmcb02 instead of vmcb01 when emulating VMLOAD
   or VMSAVE on behalf of L2.
 
 - Misc fixes and cleanups.
 
 x86 selftests:
 
 - Add a regression test for TPR<=>CR8 synchronization and IRQ masking.
 
 - Overhaul selftest's MMU infrastructure to genericize stage-2 MMU support,
   and extend x86's infrastructure to support EPT and NPT (for L2 guests).
 
 - Extend several nested VMX tests to also cover nested SVM.
 
 - Add a selftest for nested VMLOAD/VMSAVE.
 
 - Rework the nested dirty log test, originally added as a regression test for
   PML where KVM logged L2 GPAs instead of L1 GPAs, to improve test coverage
   and to hopefully make the test easier to understand and maintain.
 
 guest_memfd:
 
 - Remove kvm_gmem_populate()'s preparation tracking and half-baked hugepage
   handling.  SEV/SNP was the only user of the tracking and it can do it via
   the RMP.
 
 - Retroactively document and enforce (for SNP) that KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE
   and KVM_TDX_INIT_MEM_REGION require the source page to be 4KiB aligned, to
   avoid non-trivial complexity for something that no known VMM seems to be
   doing and to avoid an API special case for in-place conversion, which
   simply can't support unaligned sources.
 
 - When populating guest_memfd memory, GUP the source page in common code and
   pass the refcounted page to the vendor callback, instead of letting vendor
   code do the heavy lifting.  Doing so avoids a looming deadlock bug with
   in-place due an AB-BA conflict betwee mmap_lock and guest_memfd's filemap
   invalidate lock.
 
 Generic:
 
 - Fix a bug where KVM would ignore the vCPU's selected address space when
   creating a vCPU-specific mapping of guest memory.  Actually this bug
   could not be hit even on x86, the only architecture with multiple
   address spaces, but it's a bug nevertheless.

     was proving to be a maintenance burden due to the difficulty in
     auditing the correctness of deferred updates, and was polluting
     "struct nested_vmx" with a growing pile of booleans

   - Fix an SGX bug where KVM would incorrectly try to handle EPCM page
     faults, and instead always reflect them into the guest. Since KVM
     doesn't shadow EPCM entries, EPCM violations cannot be due to KVM
     interference and can't be resolved by KVM

   - Fix a bug where KVM would register its posted interrupt wakeup
     handler even if loading kvm-intel.ko ultimately failed

   - Disallow access to vmcb12 fields that aren't fully supported,
     mostly to avoid weirdness and complexity for FRED and other
     features, where KVM wants enable VMCS shadowing for fields that
     conditionally exist

   - Print out the "bad" offsets and values if kvm-intel.ko refuses to
     load (or refuses to online a CPU) due to a VMCS config mismatch

  x86 (AMD):

   - Drop a user-triggerable WARN on nested_svm_load_cr3() failure

   - Add support for virtualizing ERAPS. Note, correct virtualization of
     ERAPS relies on an upcoming, publicly announced change in the APM
     to reduce the set of conditions where hardware (i.e. KVM) *must*
     flush the RAP

   - Ignore nSVM intercepts for instructions that are not supported
     according to L1's virtual CPU model

   - Add support for expedited writes to the fast MMIO bus, a la VMX's
     fastpath for EPT Misconfig

   - Don't set GIF when clearing EFER.SVME, as GIF exists independently
     of SVM, and allow userspace to restore nested state with GIF=0

   - Treat exit_code as an unsigned 64-bit value through all of KVM

   - Add support for fetching SNP certificates from userspace

   - Fix a bug where KVM would use vmcb02 instead of vmcb01 when
     emulating VMLOAD or VMSAVE on behalf of L2

   - Misc fixes and cleanups

  x86 selftests:

   - Add a regression test for TPR<=>CR8 synchronization and IRQ masking

   - Overhaul selftest's MMU infrastructure to genericize stage-2 MMU
     support, and extend x86's infrastructure to support EPT and NPT
     (for L2 guests)

   - Extend several nested VMX tests to also cover nested SVM

   - Add a selftest for nested VMLOAD/VMSAVE

   - Rework the nested dirty log test, originally added as a regression
     test for PML where KVM logged L2 GPAs instead of L1 GPAs, to
     improve test coverage and to hopefully make the test easier to
     understand and maintain

  guest_memfd:

   - Remove kvm_gmem_populate()'s preparation tracking and half-baked
     hugepage handling. SEV/SNP was the only user of the tracking and it
     can do it via the RMP

   - Retroactively document and enforce (for SNP) that
     KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE and KVM_TDX_INIT_MEM_REGION require the
     source page to be 4KiB aligned, to avoid non-trivial complexity for
     something that no known VMM seems to be doing and to avoid an API
     special case for in-place conversion, which simply can't support
     unaligned sources

   - When populating guest_memfd memory, GUP the source page in common
     code and pass the refcounted page to the vendor callback, instead
     of letting vendor code do the heavy lifting. Doing so avoids a
     looming deadlock bug with in-place due an AB-BA conflict betwee
     mmap_lock and guest_memfd's filemap invalidate lock

  Generic:

   - Fix a bug where KVM would ignore the vCPU's selected address space
     when creating a vCPU-specific mapping of guest memory. Actually
     this bug could not be hit even on x86, the only architecture with
     multiple address spaces, but it's a bug nevertheless"

9bdc64892d workqueue: Changes for v6.20
- Rework the rescuer to process work items one-by-one instead of
   slurping all pending work items in a single pass. As there is only
   one rescuer per workqueue, a single long-blocking work item could
   cause high latency for all tasks queued behind it, even after memory
   pressure is relieved and regular kworkers become available to service
   them.
 
 - Add CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_WQ_STALL_PANIC build-time option and
   workqueue.panic_on_stall_time parameter for time-based stall panic,
   giving systems more control over workqueue stall handling.
 
 - Replace BUG_ON() with panic() in the stall panic path for clearer
   intent and more informative output.

KVM mediated PMU support for 6.20

Add support for mediated PMUs, where KVM gives the guest full ownership of PMU
hardware (contexted switched around the fastpath run loop) and allows direct
access to data MSRs and PMCs (restricted by the vPMU model), but intercepts
access to control registers, e.g. to enforce event filtering and to prevent the
guest from profiling sensitive host state.

To keep overall complexity reasonable, mediated PMU usage is all or nothing
for a given instance of KVM (controlled via module param).  The Mediated PMU
is disabled default, partly to maintain backwards compatilibity for existing
setup, partly because there are tradeoffs when running with a mediated PMU that
may be non-starters for some use cases, e.g. the host loses the ability to
profile guests with mediated PMUs, the fastpath run loop is also a blind spot,
entry/exit transitions are more expensive, etc.

Versus the emulated PMU, where KVM is "just another perf user", the mediated
PMU delivers more accurate profiling and monitoring (no risk of contention and
thus dropped events), with significantly less overhead (fewer exits and faster
emulation/programming of event selectors) E.g. when running Specint-2017 on
a single-socket Sapphire Rapids with 56 cores and no-SMT, and using perf from
within the guest:

  Perf command:
  a. basic-sampling: perf record -F 1000 -e 6-instructions  -a --overwrite
  b. multiplex-sampling: perf record -F 1000 -e 10-instructions -a --overwrite

  Guest performance overhead:

  |                    |               |                 | event filters    |

  | basic-sampling     |   33.62%      |    4.24%        |   6.21%          |

36ae1c45b2 Scheduler changes for v7.0:
Scheduler Kconfig space updates:
 
  - Further consolidate configurable preemption modes: reduce
    the number of architectures that are allowed to offer
    PREEMPT_NONE and PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, reducing the number
    of preemption models from four to just two: 'full' and 'lazy'
    on up-to-date architectures (arm64, loongarch, powerpc,
    riscv, s390, x86).
 
    None and voluntary are only available as legacy features
    on platforms that don't implement lazy preemption yet,
    or which don't even support preemption.
 
    The goal is to eventually remove cond_resched() and
    voluntary preemption altogether.
 
    (Peter Zijlstra)
 
 RSEQ based 'scheduler time slice extension' support:
 
 This allows a thread to request a time slice extension when it
 enters a critical section to avoid contention on a resource when
 the thread is scheduled out inside of the critical section.
 
  - Add fields and constants for time slice extension
  - Provide static branch for time slice extensions
  - Add statistics for time slice extensions
  - Add prctl() to enable time slice extensions
  - Implement sys_rseq_slice_yield()
  - Implement syscall entry work for time slice extensions
  - Implement time slice extension enforcement timer
  - Reset slice extension when scheduled
  - Implement rseq_grant_slice_extension()
  - entry: Hook up rseq time slice extension
  - selftests: Implement time slice extension test

  - Allow registering RSEQ with slice extension
  - Move slice_ext_nsec to debugfs
  - Lower default slice extension
  - selftests/rseq: Add rseq slice histogram script
 
    (Peter Zijlstra)
 
 Scheduler performance/scalability improvements:
 
  - Update rq->avg_idle when a task is moved to an idle CPU,
    which improves the scalability of various workloads.
    (Shubhang Kaushik)
 
  - Reorder fields in 'struct rq' for better caching
    (Blake Jones)
 
  - Fair scheduler SMP NOHZ balancing code speedups:
 
    - Move checking for nohz cpus after time check
    - Change likelyhood of nohz.nr_cpus
    - Remove nohz.nr_cpus and use weight of cpumask instead
 
      (Shrikanth Hegde)
 
  - Avoid false sharing for sched_clock_irqtime (Wangyang Guo)
 
  - Drop useless cpumask_empty() in find_energy_efficient_cpu()
  - Simplify task_numa_find_cpu()
  - Use cpumask_weight_and() in sched_balance_find_dst_group()
 
    (Yury Norov)
 
 DL scheduler updates:
 
  - Add a deadline server for sched_ext tasks (by Andrea Righi and
    Joel Fernandes, with fixes by Peter Zijlstra)
 
 RT scheduler updates:
 
  - Skip currently executing CPU in rto_next_cpu() (Chen Jinghuang)
 
 Entry code updates and performance improvements, which is part of the
 scheduler tree in this cycle due to interdependencies with the RSEQ
 based time slice extension work:
 
   - Remove unused syscall argument from syscall_trace_enter()
   - Rework syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work() for architecture reuse
   - Add arch_ptrace_report_syscall_entry/exit()
   - Inline syscall_exit_work() and syscall_trace_enter()

 Scheduler core updates:
 
  - Rework sched_class::wakeup_preempt() and rq_modified_*()
  - Avoid rq->lock bouncing in sched_balance_newidle()
  - Rename rcu_dereference_check_sched_domain() =>
           rcu_dereference_sched_domain()
  - <linux/compiler_types.h>: Add the __signed_scalar_typeof() helper
 
    (Peter Zijlstra)
 
 Fair scheduler updates/refactoring:
 
  - Fold the sched_avg update
  - Change rcu_dereference_check_sched_domain() to rcu-sched
  - Switch to rcu_dereference_all()
  - Remove superfluous rcu_read_lock()
  - Limit hrtick work
 
    (Peter Zijlstra)
 
  - Join two #ifdef CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED blocks
  - Clean up comments in 'struct cfs_rq'
  - Separate se->vlag from se->vprot
  - Rename cfs_rq::avg_load to cfs_rq::sum_weight

  - Introduce and use the vruntime_cmp() and vruntime_op() wrappers
    for wrapped-signed aritmetics
  - Sort out 'blocked_load*' namespace noise
 
    (Ingo Molnar)
 
 Scheduler debugging code updates:
 
  - Export hidden tracepoints to modules (Gabriele Monaco)
 
  - Convert copy_from_user() + kstrtouint() to kstrtouint_from_user()
    (Fushuai Wang)
 
  - Add assertions to QUEUE_CLASS (Peter Zijlstra)
 
  - hrtimer: Fix tracing oddity (Thomas Gleixner)
 
 Misc fixes and cleanups:

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Scheduler Kconfig space updates:

   - Further consolidate configurable preemption modes (Peter Zijlstra)

     Reduce the number of architectures that are allowed to offer
     PREEMPT_NONE and PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, reducing the number of
     preemption models from four to just two: 'full' and 'lazy' on
     up-to-date architectures (arm64, loongarch, powerpc, riscv, s390,
     x86).

     None and voluntary are only available as legacy features on
     platforms that don't implement lazy preemption yet, or which don't
     even support preemption.

     The goal is to eventually remove cond_resched() and voluntary
     preemption altogether.

  RSEQ based 'scheduler time slice extension' support (Thomas Gleixner
  and Peter Zijlstra):

  This allows a thread to request a time slice extension when it enters
  a critical section to avoid contention on a resource when the thread
  is scheduled out inside of the critical section.

   - Add fields and constants for time slice extension
   - Provide static branch for time slice extensions
   - Add statistics for time slice extensions
   - Add prctl() to enable time slice extensions
   - Implement sys_rseq_slice_yield()
   - Implement syscall entry work for time slice extensions
   - Implement time slice extension enforcement timer
   - Reset slice extension when scheduled
   - Implement rseq_grant_slice_extension()
   - entry: Hook up rseq time slice extension
   - selftests: Implement time slice extension test
   - Allow registering RSEQ with slice extension
   - Move slice_ext_nsec to debugfs
   - Lower default slice extension
   - selftests/rseq: Add rseq slice histogram script

  Scheduler performance/scalability improvements:

   - Update rq->avg_idle when a task is moved to an idle CPU, which
     improves the scalability of various workloads (Shubhang Kaushik)

   - Reorder fields in 'struct rq' for better caching (Blake Jones)

   - Fair scheduler SMP NOHZ balancing code speedups (Shrikanth Hegde):
      - Move checking for nohz cpus after time check
      - Change likelyhood of nohz.nr_cpus
      - Remove nohz.nr_cpus and use weight of cpumask instead

   - Avoid false sharing for sched_clock_irqtime (Wangyang Guo)

   - Cleanups (Yury Norov):
      - Drop useless cpumask_empty() in find_energy_efficient_cpu()
      - Simplify task_numa_find_cpu()
      - Use cpumask_weight_and() in sched_balance_find_dst_group()

  DL scheduler updates:

   - Add a deadline server for sched_ext tasks (by Andrea Righi and Joel
     Fernandes, with fixes by Peter Zijlstra)

  RT scheduler updates:

   - Skip currently executing CPU in rto_next_cpu() (Chen Jinghuang)

  Entry code updates and performance improvements (Jinjie Ruan)

  This is part of the scheduler tree in this cycle due to inter-
  dependencies with the RSEQ based time slice extension work:

    - Remove unused syscall argument from syscall_trace_enter()
    - Rework syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work() for architecture reuse
    - Add arch_ptrace_report_syscall_entry/exit()
    - Inline syscall_exit_work() and syscall_trace_enter()

  Scheduler core updates (Peter Zijlstra):

   - Rework sched_class::wakeup_preempt() and rq_modified_*()
   - Avoid rq->lock bouncing in sched_balance_newidle()
   - Rename rcu_dereference_check_sched_domain() =>
            rcu_dereference_sched_domain()
   - <linux/compiler_types.h>: Add the __signed_scalar_typeof() helper

  Fair scheduler updates/refactoring (Peter Zijlstra and Ingo Molnar):

   - Fold the sched_avg update
   - Change rcu_dereference_check_sched_domain() to rcu-sched
   - Switch to rcu_dereference_all()
   - Remove superfluous rcu_read_lock()
   - Limit hrtick work
   - Join two #ifdef CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED blocks
   - Clean up comments in 'struct cfs_rq'
   - Separate se->vlag from se->vprot
   - Rename cfs_rq::avg_load to cfs_rq::sum_weight
   - Rename cfs_rq::avg_vruntime to ::sum_w_vruntime & helper functions
   - Introduce and use the vruntime_cmp() and vruntime_op() wrappers for
     wrapped-signed aritmetics
   - Sort out 'blocked_load*' namespace noise

  Scheduler debugging code updates:

   - Export hidden tracepoints to modules (Gabriele Monaco)

   - Convert copy_from_user() + kstrtouint() to kstrtouint_from_user()
     (Fushuai Wang)

   - Add assertions to QUEUE_CLASS (Peter Zijlstra)

   - hrtimer: Fix tracing oddity (Thomas Gleixner)

  Misc fixes and cleanups:

   - Re-evaluate scheduling when migrating queued tasks out of throttled
     cgroups (Zicheng Qu)

   - Remove task_struct->faults_disabled_mapping (Christoph Hellwig)

   - Fix math notation errors in avg_vruntime comment (Zhan Xusheng)

Pull vfs initrd removal from Christian Brauner:
 "Remove the deprecated linuxrc-based initrd code path and related dead
  code. The linuxrc initrd path was deprecated in 2020 and this series
  completes its removal. If we see real-life regressions we'll revert.

  The core change removes handle_initrd() and init_linuxrc() — the
  entire flow that ran /linuxrc from an initrd, pivoted roots, and
  handed off to the real root filesystem. With that gone, initrd_load()
  becomes void (no longer short-circuits prepare_namespace()),
  rd_load_image() is simplified to always load /initrd.image instead of
  taking a path, and rd_load_disk() is deleted.

  The /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev sysctl and its backing variable are
  removed since they only existed for linuxrc to communicate the real
  root device back to the kernel.

  The no-op load_ramdisk= and prompt_ramdisk= parameters are dropped,
  and noinitrd and ramdisk_start= gain deprecation warnings.

  Initramfs is entirely unaffected. The non-linuxrc initrd path
  (root=/dev/ram0) is preserved but now carries a deprecation warning
  targeting January 2027 removal"

f84c9dd34e workqueue: add time-based panic for stalls
Add a new module parameter 'panic_on_stall_time' that triggers a panic
when a workqueue stall persists for longer than the specified duration
in seconds.

Unlike 'panic_on_stall' which counts accumulated stall events, this
parameter triggers based on the duration of a single continuous stall.
This is useful for catching truly stuck workqueues rather than
accumulating transient stalls.

Usage:
  workqueue.panic_on_stall_time=120

This would panic if any workqueue pool has been stalled for 120 seconds
or more.

The stall duration is measured from the workqueue last progress
(poll_ts) which accounts for legitimate system stalls.

7bb8c40f5a nvme: add support for dynamic quirk configuration via module parameter
Introduce support for enabling or disabling specific NVMe quirks at module
load time through the `quirks` module parameter.
This mechanism allows users to apply known quirks dynamically based on the
device's PCI vendor and device IDs, without requiring to add hardcoded
entries in the driver and recompiling the kernel.

While the generic PCI new_id sysfs interface exists for dynamic
configuration, it is insufficient for scenarios where the system fails
to boot (for example, this has been reported to happen because of the
bogus_nid quirk). The new_id attribute is writable only after the system
has booted and sysfs is mounted.

The `quirks` parameter accepts a list of quirk specifications separated by
a '-' character in the following format:

<VID>:<DID>:<quirk_names>[-<VID>:<DID>:<quirk_names>-..]

Each quirk is represented by its name and can be prefixed with `^` to
indicate that the quirk should be disabled; quirk names are separated by
a ',' character.

Example: enable BOGUS_NID and BROKEN_MSI, disable DEALLOCATE_ZEROES:

   $ modprobe nvme quirks=7170:2210:bogus_nid,broken_msi,^deallocate_zeroes

32d572e390 workqueue: add CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_WQ_STALL_PANIC option
Add a kernel config option to set the default value of
workqueue.panic_on_stall, similar to CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_SOFTLOCKUP_PANIC,
CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HARDLOCKUP_PANIC and CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HUNG_TASK_PANIC.

This allows setting the number of workqueue stalls before triggering
a kernel panic at build time, which is useful for high-availability
systems that need consistent panic-on-stall, in other words, those
servers which run with CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_*_PANIC=y already.

The default remains 0 (disabled). Setting it to 1 will panic on the
first stall, and higher values will panic after that many stall
warnings. The value can still be overridden at runtime via the
workqueue.panic_on_stall boot parameter or sysfs.

2e171ab29f panic: add panic_force_cpu= parameter to redirect panic to a specific CPU
Some platforms require panic handling to execute on a specific CPU for
crash dump to work reliably.  This can be due to firmware limitations,
interrupt routing constraints, or platform-specific requirements where
only a single CPU is able to safely enter the crash kernel.

Add the panic_force_cpu= kernel command-line parameter to redirect panic
execution to a designated CPU.  When the parameter is provided, the CPU
that initially triggers panic forwards the panic context to the target CPU
via IPI, which then proceeds with the normal panic and kexec flow.

The IPI delivery is implemented as a weak function
(panic_smp_redirect_cpu) so architectures with NMI support can override it
for more reliable delivery.

If the specified CPU is invalid, offline, or a panic is already in
progress on another CPU, the redirection is skipped and panic continues on
the current CPU.

e700f5d156 watchdog: softlockup: panic when lockup duration exceeds N thresholds
The softlockup_panic sysctl is currently a binary option: panic
immediately or never panic on soft lockups.

Panicking on any soft lockup, regardless of duration, can be overly
aggressive for brief stalls that may be caused by legitimate operations. 
Conversely, never panicking may allow severe system hangs to persist
undetected.

Extend softlockup_panic to accept an integer threshold, allowing the
kernel to panic only when the normalized lockup duration exceeds N
watchdog threshold periods.  This provides finer-grained control to
distinguish between transient delays and persistent system failures.

The accepted values are:
- 0: Don't panic (unchanged)
- 1: Panic when duration >= 1 * threshold (20s default, original behavior)
- N > 1: Panic when duration >= N * threshold (e.g., 2 = 40s, 3 = 60s.)

The original behavior is preserved for values 0 and 1, maintaining full
backward compatibility while allowing systems to tolerate brief lockups
while still catching severe, persistent hangs.

033724b1c6 dm-verity: add dm-verity keyring
Add a dedicated ".dm-verity" keyring for root hash signature
verification, similar to the ".fs-verity" keyring used by fs-verity.

By default the keyring is unused retaining the exact same old behavior.
For systems that provision additional keys only intended for dm-verity
images during boot, the dm_verity.keyring_unsealed=1 kernel parameter
leaves the keyring open.

We want to use this in systemd as a way add keys during boot that are
only used for creating dm-verity devices for later mounting and nothing
else. The discoverable disk image (DDI) spec at [1] heavily relies on
dm-verity and we would like to expand this even more. This will allow us
to do that in a fully backward compatible way.

Once provisioning is complete, userspace restricts and activates it for
dm-verity verification. If userspace fully seals the keyring then it
gains the guarantee that no new keys can be added.

2a11e1479e x86/acpi: Add acpi=spcr to use SPCR-provided default console
The SPCR provided console on x86 is only available as a boot console when
earlycon is provided on the kernel command line, and will not be present in
/proc/consoles.

While it's possible to retain the boot console with the keep_bootcon
parameter, that leaves the console using the less efficient 8250_early driver.

Users wanting to use the firmware suggested console (to avoid maintaining
unique serial console parameters for different server models in large fleets)
with the conventional driver have to parse the kernel log for the console
parameters and reinsert them.

  [    0.005091] ACPI: SPCR 0x000000007FFB5000 000059 (v04 ALASKA A M I    01072009 INTL 20250404)
  [    0.073387] ACPI: SPCR: console: uart,io,0x3f8,115200

In commit

  0231d00082 ("ACPI: SPCR: Make SPCR available to x86")¹

the SPCR console was only added as an option for earlycon but not as an
ordinary console so users don't see console output changes.

So users can opt in to an automatic SPCR console, make ACPI init add it if
acpi=spcr is set.

842e7f97d7 x86/resctrl: Add energy/perf choices to rdt boot option
Legacy resctrl features are enumerated by X86_FEATURE_* flags. These may be
overridden by quirks to disable features in the case of errata.  Users can use
kernel command line options to either disable a feature, or to force enable
a feature that was disabled by a quirk.

A different approach is needed for hardware features that do not have an
X86_FEATURE_* flag.

Update parsing of the "rdt=" boot parameter to call the telemetry driver
directly to handle new "perf" and "energy" options that controls activation of
telemetry monitoring of the named type. By itself a "perf" or "energy" option
controls the forced enabling or disabling (with ! prefix) of all event groups
of the named type. A ":guid" suffix allows for fine grained control per event
group.

   increases the flexibility of KEXEC Handover. Also preparation for LUO

 - "Live Update Orchestrator" (Pasha Tatashin)
   is a major new feature targeted at cloud environments. Quoting the
   cover letter:

      This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel
      subsystem designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a
      kexec-based reboot. This capability is critical for cloud
      environments, allowing hypervisors to be updated with minimal
      downtime for running virtual machines. LUO achieves this by
      preserving the state of selected resources, such as memory,
      devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition.

      As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving
      memfd file descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such
      as guest RAM or any other large memory region, to be maintained in
      RAM across the kexec reboot.

   Mike Rappaport merits a mention here, for his extensive review and

83c8f7b5e1 mm/mm_init: Introduce a boot parameter for check_pages
Use-after-free and double-free bugs can be very difficult to track down.
The kernel is good at tracking these and preventing bad pages from being
used/created through simple checks gated behind "check_pages_enabled".

Currently, the only ways to enable this flag is by building with
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, or as a side effect of other checks such as
init_on_{alloc, free}, page_poisoning, or debug_pagealloc among others.
These solutions are powerful, but may often be too coarse in balancing
the performance vs. safety that a user may want, particularly in
latency-sensitive production environments.

Introduce a new boot parameter "check_pages", which enables page checking
with no other side effects. It takes kstrbool-able inputs as an argument
(i.e. 0/1, true/false, on/off, ...). This patch is backwards-compatible;
setting CONFIG_DEBUG_VM still enables page checking.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "There are quite a few interesting things here, including new hardware
  support, new features, some bug fixes and documentation updates. In
  addition, there are a usual bunch of minor fixes and cleanups all
  over.

  In the new hardware support category, there are intel_pstate and
  intel_rapl driver updates to support new processors, Panther Lake,
  Wildcat Lake, Noval Lake, and Diamond Rapids in the OOB mode, OPP and
  bandwidth allocation support in the tegra186 cpufreq driver, and
  JH7110S SOC support in dt-platdev cpufreq.

  The new features are the PM QoS CPU latency limit for suspend-to-idle,
  the netlink support for the energy model management, support for
  terminating system suspend via a wakeup event during the sync of file
  systems, configurable number of hibernation compression threads, the
  runtime PM auto-cleanup macros, and the "poweroff" PM event that is
  expected to be used during system shutdown.

  Bugs are mostly fixed in cpuidle governors, but there are also fixes
  elsewhere, like in the amd-pstate cpufreq driver.

  Documentation updates include, but are not limited to, a new doc on
  debugging shutdown hangs, cross-referencing fixes and cleanups in the
  intel_pstate documentation, and updates of comments in the core
  hibernation code.

  Specifics:

   - Introduce and document a QoS limit on CPU exit latency during
     wakeup from suspend-to-idle (Ulf Hansson)
