Miscellaneous x86 fixes:
- Fix SEV guest boot failures in certain circumstances, due
to very early code relying on a BSS-zeroed variable that
isn't actually zeroed yet an may contain non-zero bootup
values. Move the variable into the .data section go gain
even earlier zeroing.
- Expose & allow the IBPB-on-Entry feature on SNP guests,
which was not properly exposed to guests due to initial
implementational caution.
- Fix O= build failure when CONFIG_EFI_SBAT_FILE is using
relative file paths.
- 4 commits to fix the various SNC (Sub-NUMA Clustering)
topology enumeration bugs/artifacts (sched-domain build
errors mostly). SNC enumeration data got more complicated
with Granite Rapids X (GNR) and Clearwater Forest X (CWF),
which exposed these bugs and made their effects more
serious.
- Also use the now sane(r) SNC code to fix resctrl SNC
detection bugs.
- Work around a historic libgcc unwinder bug in the vdso32
sigreturn code (again), which regressed during an overly
aggressive recent cleanup of DWARF annotations.

x86/topo: Add topology_num_nodes_per_package()
Use the MADT and SRAT table data to compute __num_nodes_per_package. Specifically, SRAT has already been parsed in x86_numa_init(), which is called before acpi_boot_init() which parses MADT. So both are available in topology_init_possible_cpus(). This number is useful to divinate the various Intel CoD/SNC and AMD NPS modes, since the platforms are failing to provide this otherwise. Doing it this way is independent of the number of online CPUs and other such shenanigans.

x86/numa: Store extra copy of numa_nodes_parsed
The topology setup code needs to know the total number of physical nodes enumerated in SRAT; however NUMA_EMU can cause the existing numa_nodes_parsed bitmap to be fictitious. Therefore, keep a copy of the bitmap specifically to retain the physical node count.

x86/sev: Allow IBPB-on-Entry feature for SNP guests
The SEV-SNP IBPB-on-Entry feature does not require a guest-side implementation. It was added in Zen5 h/w, after the first SNP Zen implementation, and thus was not accounted for when the initial set of SNP features were added to the kernel. In its abundant precaution, commit |

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 |

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: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Test case | emulated vPMU | all passthrough | passthrough with | | | | | event filters | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | basic-sampling | 33.62% | 4.24% | 6.21% | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | multiplex-sampling | 79.32% | 7.34% | 10.45% | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

KVM x86 APIC-ish changes for 6.20 - Fix a benign bug where KVM could use the wrong memslots (ignored SMM) when creating a vCPU-specific mapping of guest memory. - 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 burying the RTC shenanigans behind CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=y. - Bury all of ioapic.h and KVM_IRQCHIP_KERNEL behind CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=y. - Add a regression test for recent APICv update fixes. - 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. - 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. |

asm-generic header updates for 7.0
A series from Thomas Weißschuh cleans up the UAPI header files to no longer contain any references to Kconfig symbols, as these make no sense in userspace. The build-time check for these was originally added by Sam Ravnborg in linux-2.6.28, and a later version started warning for all newly added CONFIG_* checks here but kept a list of known exceptions. With the last exceptions gone from that list, the warning is now unconditional in 'make headers_install'.

Updates for the VDSO subsystem:
- Provide the missing 64-bit variant of clock_getres()
This allows the extension of CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME to the vDSO and
finally the removal of 32-bit time types from the kernel and UAPI.
- Remove the useless and broken getcpu_cache from the VDSO
The intention was to provide a trivial way to retrieve the CPU number from
the VDSO, but as the VDSO data is per process there is no way to make it
work.
- Switch get/put_unaligned() from packed struct to memcpy()
The packed struct violates strict aliasing rules which requires to pass
-fno-strict-aliasing to the compiler. As this are scalar values
__builtin_memcpy() turns them into simple loads and stores
- Use __typeof_unqual__() for __unqual_scalar_typeof()
The get/put_unaligned() changes triggered a new sparse warning when __beNN
types are used with get/put_unaligned() as sparse builds add a special
'bitwise' attribute to them which prevents sparse to evaluate the Generic
in __unqual_scalar_typeof().
Newer sparse versions support __typeof_unqual__() which avoids the problem,
but requires a recent sparse install. So this adds a sanity check to sparse
builds, which validates that sparse is available and capable of handling it.
- Force inline __cvdso_clock_getres_common()
Compilers sometimes un-inline agressively, which results in function call
overhead and problems with automatic stack variable initialization.
Interestingly enough the force inlining results in smaller code than the
un-inlined variant produced by GCC when optimizing for size.

__beNN types are used with get/put_unaligned() as sparse builds add a
special 'bitwise' attribute to them which prevents sparse to evaluate
the Generic in __unqual_scalar_typeof().
Newer sparse versions support __typeof_unqual__() which avoids the
problem, but requires a recent sparse install. So this adds a sanity
check to sparse builds, which validates that sparse is available and
capable of handling it.
- Force inline __cvdso_clock_getres_common()
Compilers sometimes un-inline agressively, which results in function
call overhead and problems with automatic stack variable
initialization.
Interestingly enough the force inlining results in smaller code than
the un-inlined variant produced by GCC when optimizing for size.

Performance events changes for v7.0:
x86 PMU driver updates:
- Add support for the core PMU for Intel Diamond Rapids (DMR) CPUs.
Compared to previous iterations of the Intel PMU code, there's
been a lot of changes, which center around three main areas:
- Introduce the OFF-MODULE RESPONSE (OMR) facility to
replace the Off-Core Response (OCR) facility
- New PEBS data source encoding layout
- Support the new "RDPMC user disable" feature
(Dapeng Mi)
- Likewise, a large series adds uncore PMU support for
Intel Diamond Rapids (DMR) CPUs, which center around these
four main areas:
- DMR may have two Integrated I/O and Memory Hub (IMH) dies,
separate from the compute tile (CBB) dies. Each CBB and
each IMH die has its own discovery domain.
- Unlike prior CPUs that retrieve the global discovery table
portal exclusively via PCI or MSR, DMR uses PCI for IMH PMON
discovery and MSR for CBB PMON discovery.
- DMR introduces several new PMON types: SCA, HAMVF, D2D_ULA,
UBR, PCIE4, CRS, CPC, ITC, OTC, CMS, and PCIE6.
- IIO free-running counters in DMR are MMIO-based, unlike SPR.
(Zide Chen)
- Also add support for Add missing PMON units for Intel Panther Lake,
and support Nova Lake (NVL), which largely maps to Panther Lake.
(Zide Chen)
- KVM integration: Add support for mediated vPMUs (by Kan Liang
and Sean Christopherson, with fixes and cleanups by Peter Zijlstra,
Sandipan Das and Mingwei Zhang)
- Add Intel cstate driver to support for Wildcat Lake (WCL)
CPUs, which are a low-power variant of Panther Lake.
(Zide Chen)
- Add core, cstate and MSR PMU support for the Airmont NP Intel CPU
(aka MaxLinear Lightning Mountain), which maps to the existing
Airmont code. (Martin Schiller)
Performance enhancements:
- core: Speed up kexec shutdown by avoiding unnecessary
cross CPU calls. (Jan H. Schönherr)
- core: Fix slow perf_event_task_exit() with LBR callstacks
(Namhyung Kim)
User-space stack unwinding support:
- Various cleanups and refactorings in preparation to generalize
the unwinding code for other architectures. (Jens Remus)
Uprobes updates:
- Transition from kmap_atomic to kmap_local_page (Keke Ming)
- Fix incorrect lockdep condition in filter_chain() (Breno Leitao)
- Fix XOL allocation failure for 32-bit tasks (Oleg Nesterov)
Misc fixes and cleanups:
- s390: Remove kvm_types.h from Kbuild (Randy Dunlap)
- x86/intel/uncore: Convert comma to semicolon (Chen Ni)
- x86/uncore: Clean up const mismatch (Greg Kroah-Hartman)
- x86/ibs: Fix typo in dc_l2tlb_miss comment (Xiang-Bin Shi)

KVM x86 misc changes for 6.20
- 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 that
were advertised as supported to userspace when running with
KVM_CAP_ENFORCE_PV_FEATURE_CPUID enabled.
- Fix a bug where KVM would attempt to read protect guest state (CR3) when
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. Explicitly allow
the few exports that are intended for external usage.
- Ignore -EBUSY when checking nested events after a vCPU exits blocking as
the WARN is user-triggerable, and because exiting to userspace on -EBUSY
does more harm than good in pretty much every situation.
- Throw in the towel and drop the WARN on INIT/SIPI being blocked when vCPU is
in Wait-For-SIPI, as playing whack-a-mole with syzkaller turned out to be an
unwinnable game.
- 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).
- Minor cleanups.

x86/vmware: Fix hypercall clobbers
Fedora QA reported the following panic: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 0000000040003e54 #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS edk2-20251119-3.fc43 11/19/2025 RIP: 0010:vmware_hypercall4.constprop.0+0x52/0x90 .. Call Trace: vmmouse_report_events+0x13e/0x1b0 psmouse_handle_byte+0x15/0x60 ps2_interrupt+0x8a/0xd0 ... because the QEMU VMware mouse emulation is buggy, and clears the top 32 bits of %rdi that the kernel kept a pointer in. The QEMU vmmouse driver saves and restores the register state in a "uint32_t data[6];" and as a result restores the state with the high bits all cleared. RDI originally contained the value of a valid kernel stack address (0xff5eeb3240003e54). After the vmware hypercall it now contains 0x40003e54, and we get a page fault as a result when it is dereferenced. The proper fix would be in QEMU, but this works around the issue in the kernel to keep old setups working, when old kernels had not happened to keep any state in %rdi over the hypercall. In theory this same issue exists for all the hypercalls in the vmmouse driver; in practice it has only been seen with vmware_hypercall3() and vmware_hypercall4(). For now, just mark RDI/RSI as clobbered for those two calls. This should have a minimal effect on code generation overall as it should be rare for the compiler to want to make RDI/RSI live across hypercalls.

x86/kfence: fix booting on 32bit non-PAE systems
The original patch inverted the PTE unconditionally to avoid
L1TF-vulnerable PTEs, but Linux doesn't make this adjustment in 2-level
paging.
Adjust the logic to use the flip_protnone_guard() helper, which is a nop
on 2-level paging but inverts the address bits in all other paging modes.
This doesn't matter for the Xen aspect of the original change. Linux no
longer supports running 32bit PV under Xen, and Xen doesn't support
running any 32bit PV guests without using PAE paging.

x86/fgraph,bpf: Switch kprobe_multi program stack unwind to hw_regs path
Mahe reported missing function from stack trace on top of kprobe
multi program. The missing function is the very first one in the
stacktrace, the one that the bpf program is attached to.
# bpftrace -e 'kprobe:__x64_sys_newuname* { print(kstack)}'
Attaching 1 probe...
do_syscall_64+134
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+118
('*' is used for kprobe_multi attachment)
The reason is that the previous change (the Fixes commit) fixed
stack unwind for tracepoint, but removed attached function address
from the stack trace on top of kprobe multi programs, which I also
overlooked in the related test (check following patch).
The tracepoint and kprobe_multi have different stack setup, but use
same unwind path. I think it's better to keep the previous change,
which fixed tracepoint unwind and instead change the kprobe multi
unwind as explained below.
The bpf program stack unwind calls perf_callchain_kernel for kernel
portion and it follows two unwind paths based on X86_EFLAGS_FIXED
bit in pt_regs.flags.
When the bit set we unwind from stack represented by pt_regs argument,
otherwise we unwind currently executed stack up to 'first_frame'
boundary.
The 'first_frame' value is taken from regs.rsp value, but ftrace_caller
and ftrace_regs_caller (ftrace trampoline) functions set the regs.rsp
to the previous stack frame, so we skip the attached function entry.
If we switch kprobe_multi unwind to use the X86_EFLAGS_FIXED bit,
we set the start of the unwind to the attached function address.
As another benefit we also cut extra unwind cycles needed to reach
the 'first_frame' boundary.
The speedup can be measured with trigger bench for kprobe_multi
program and stacktrace support.
- trigger bench with stacktrace on current code:
kprobe-multi : 0.810 ± 0.001M/s
kretprobe-multi: 0.808 ± 0.001M/s
- and with the fix:
kprobe-multi : 1.264 ± 0.001M/s
kretprobe-multi: 1.401 ± 0.002M/s
With the fix, the entry probe stacktrace:
# bpftrace -e 'kprobe:__x64_sys_newuname* { print(kstack)}'
Attaching 1 probe...
__x64_sys_newuname+9
do_syscall_64+134
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+118
The return probe skips the attached function, because it's no longer
on the stack at the point of the unwind and this way is the same how
standard kretprobe works.
# bpftrace -e 'kretprobe:__x64_sys_newuname* { print(kstack)}'
Attaching 1 probe...
do_syscall_64+134
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+118

KVM: x86: Add x2APIC "features" to control EOI broadcast suppression
Add two flags for KVM_CAP_X2APIC_API to allow userspace to control support for Suppress EOI Broadcasts when using a split IRQCHIP (I/O APIC emulated by userspace), which KVM completely mishandles. When x2APIC support was first added, KVM incorrectly advertised and "enabled" Suppress EOI Broadcast, without fully supporting the I/O APIC side of the equation, i.e. without adding directed EOI to KVM's in-kernel I/O APIC. That flaw was carried over to split IRQCHIP support, i.e. KVM advertised support for Suppress EOI Broadcasts irrespective of whether or not the userspace I/O APIC implementation supported directed EOIs. Even worse, KVM didn't actually suppress EOI broadcasts, i.e. userspace VMMs without support for directed EOI came to rely on the "spurious" broadcasts. KVM "fixed" the in-kernel I/O APIC implementation by completely disabling support for Suppress EOI Broadcasts in commit |

KVM: x86: Advertise MOVRS CPUID to userspace
Define the feature flag for MOVRS and advertise support to userspace when
the feature is supported by the host.
MOVRS is a new set of instructions introduced in the Intel platform
Diamond Rapids, to provide load instructions that carry a read-shared
hint.
Functionally, MOVRS family is equivalent to existing load instructions,
but its read-shared hint indicates that the source memory location is
likely to become read-shared by multiple processors, i.e., read in the
future by at least one other processor before it is written (assuming it
is ever written in the future). This hint could optimize the behavior of
the caches, especially shared caches, for this data for future reads by
multiple processors. Additionally, MOVRS family also includes a software
prefetch instruction, PREFETCHRST2, that carries the same read-shared
hint. [*]
MOVRS family is enumerated by CPUID single-bit (0x7.0x1.EAX[bit 31]).
Since it's on a densely-populated CPUID leaf and some other bits on
this leaf have kernel usages, define this new feature in cpufeatures.h,
but hide it in /proc/cpuinfo due to lack of current kernel usage.
Advertise MOVRS bit to userspace directly. It's safe, since there's no
new VMX controls or additional host enabling required for guests to use
this feature.

$ perf bench mem memset -k 4KB -s 4GB -f x86-64-stosq
# Running 'mem/memset' benchmark:

# Copying 4GB bytes ...
38.104311 GB/sec
(Both on AMD Milan.)
With a change in chunk-size from 4KB to 1GB, we see the performance go
from 13.7 GB/sec to 38.1 GB/sec. For the chunk-size of 2MB the change
isn't quite as drastic but it is worth adding a clear_page() variant that
can handle contiguous page-extents.

treewide: provide a generic clear_user_page() variant
Patch series "mm: folio_zero_user: clear page ranges", v11.
This series adds clearing of contiguous page ranges for hugepages.
The series improves on the current discontiguous clearing approach in two
ways:
- clear pages in a contiguous fashion.
- use batched clearing via clear_pages() wherever exposed.
The first is useful because it allows us to make much better use of
hardware prefetchers.
The second, enables advertising the real extent to the processor. Where
specific instructions support it (ex. string instructions on x86; "mops"
on arm64 etc), a processor can optimize based on this because, instead of
seeing a sequence of 8-byte stores, or a sequence of 4KB pages, it sees a
larger unit being operated on.
For instance, AMD Zen uarchs (for extents larger than LLC-size) switch to
a mode where they start eliding cacheline allocation. This is helpful not
just because it results in higher bandwidth, but also because now the
cache is not evicting useful cachelines and replacing them with zeroes.
Demand faulting a 64GB region shows performance improvement:
$ perf bench mem mmap -p $pg-sz -f demand -s 64GB -l 5

[*] This improvement is because switching to sequential clearing
allows the hardware prefetchers to do a much better job.
[#] For pg-sz=1GB a large part of the improvement is because of the
cacheline elision mentioned above. preempt=full|lazy improves upon
that because, not needing explicit invocations of cond_resched() to
ensure reasonable preemption latency, it can clear the full extent
as a single unit. In comparison the maximum extent used for
preempt=none|voluntary is PROCESS_PAGES_NON_PREEMPT_BATCH (32MB).
When provided the full extent the processor forgoes allocating
cachelines on this path almost entirely.
(The hope is that eventually, in the fullness of time, the lazy
preemption model will be able to do the same job that none or
voluntary models are used for, allowing us to do away with
cond_resched().)
Raghavendra also tested previous version of the series on AMD Genoa and
sees similar improvement [1] with preempt=lazy.

This patch (of 8):
Let's drop all variants that effectively map to clear_page() and provide
it in a generic variant instead.
We'll use the macro clear_user_page to indicate whether an architecture
provides it's own variant.
Also, clear_user_page() is only called from the generic variant of
clear_user_highpage(), so define it only if the architecture does not
provide a clear_user_highpage(). And, for simplicity define it in
linux/highmem.h.
Note that for parisc, clear_page() and clear_user_page() map to
clear_page_asm(), so we can just get rid of the custom clear_user_page()
implementation. There is a clear_user_page_asm() function on parisc, that
seems to be unused. Not sure what's up with that.

x86/xen: use lazy_mmu_state when context-switching
We currently set a TIF flag when scheduling out a task that is in lazy MMU mode, in order to restore it when the task is scheduled again. The generic lazy_mmu layer now tracks whether a task is in lazy MMU mode in task_struct::lazy_mmu_state. We can therefore check that state when switching to the new task, instead of using a separate TIF flag.

mm: introduce generic lazy_mmu helpers
The implementation of the lazy MMU mode is currently entirely
arch-specific; core code directly calls arch helpers:
arch_{enter,leave}_lazy_mmu_mode().
We are about to introduce support for nested lazy MMU sections. As things
stand we'd have to duplicate that logic in every arch implementing
lazy_mmu - adding to a fair amount of logic already duplicated across
lazy_mmu implementations.
This patch therefore introduces a new generic layer that calls the
existing arch_* helpers. Two pair of calls are introduced:
* lazy_mmu_mode_enable() ... lazy_mmu_mode_disable()
This is the standard case where the mode is enabled for a given
block of code by surrounding it with enable() and disable()
calls.
* lazy_mmu_mode_pause() ... lazy_mmu_mode_resume()
This is for situations where the mode is temporarily disabled
by first calling pause() and then resume() (e.g. to prevent any
batching from occurring in a critical section).
The documentation in <linux/pgtable.h> will be updated in a subsequent
patch.
No functional change should be introduced at this stage. The
implementation of enable()/resume() and disable()/pause() is currently
identical, but nesting support will change that.
Most of the call sites have been updated using the following Coccinelle
script:
@@
@@
{
...
- arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode();
+ lazy_mmu_mode_enable();
...
- arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode();
+ lazy_mmu_mode_disable();
...
}
@@
@@
{
...
- arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode();
+ lazy_mmu_mode_pause();
...
- arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode();
+ lazy_mmu_mode_resume();
...
}
A couple of notes regarding x86:
* Xen is currently the only case where explicit handling is required
for lazy MMU when context-switching. This is purely an
implementation detail and using the generic lazy_mmu_mode_*
functions would cause trouble when nesting support is introduced,
because the generic functions must be called from the current task.
For that reason we still use arch_leave() and arch_enter() there.
* x86 calls arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode() unconditionally in a few
places, but only defines it if PARAVIRT_XXL is selected, and we
are removing the fallback in <linux/pgtable.h>. Add a new fallback
definition to <asm/pgtable.h> to keep things building.

mm: introduce CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_LAZY_MMU_MODE
Architectures currently opt in for implementing lazy_mmu helpers by defining __HAVE_ARCH_ENTER_LAZY_MMU_MODE. In preparation for introducing a generic lazy_mmu layer that will require storage in task_struct, let's switch to a cleaner approach: instead of defining a macro, select a CONFIG option. This patch introduces CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_LAZY_MMU_MODE and has each arch select it when it implements lazy_mmu helpers. __HAVE_ARCH_ENTER_LAZY_MMU_MODE is removed and <linux/pgtable.h> relies on the new CONFIG instead. On x86, lazy_mmu helpers are only implemented if PARAVIRT_XXL is selected. This creates some complications in arch/x86/boot/, because a few files manually undefine PARAVIRT* options. As a result <asm/paravirt.h> does not define the lazy_mmu helpers, but this breaks the build as <linux/pgtable.h> only defines them if !CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_LAZY_MMU_MODE. There does not seem to be a clean way out of this - let's just undefine that new CONFIG too.

x86/segment: Use MOVL when reading segment registers
Use MOVL when reading segment registers to avoid 0x66 operand-size override insn prefix. The segment value is always 16-bit and gets zero-extended to the full 32-bit size. Example: 4e4: 66 8c c0 mov %es,%ax 4e7: 66 89 83 80 0b 00 00 mov %ax,0xb80(%rbx) 4e4: 8c c0 mov %es,%eax 4e6: 66 89 83 80 0b 00 00 mov %ax,0xb80(%rbx) Also, use the %k0 modifier which generates the SImode (signed integer) register name for the target register.

x86/kfence: avoid writing L1TF-vulnerable PTEs
For native, the choice of PTE is fine. There's real memory backing the
non-present PTE. However, for XenPV, Xen complains:
(XEN) d1 L1TF-vulnerable L1e 8010000018200066 - Shadowing
To explain, some background on XenPV pagetables:
Xen PV guests are control their own pagetables; they choose the new
PTE value, and use hypercalls to make changes so Xen can audit for
safety.
In addition to a regular reference count, Xen also maintains a type
reference count. e.g. SegDesc (referenced by vGDT/vLDT), Writable
(referenced with _PAGE_RW) or L{1..4} (referenced by vCR3 or a lower
pagetable level). This is in order to prevent e.g. a page being
inserted into the pagetables for which the guest has a writable mapping.
For non-present mappings, all other bits become software accessible,
and typically contain metadata rather a real frame address. There is
nothing that a reference count could sensibly be tied to. As such, even
if Xen could recognise the address as currently safe, nothing would
prevent that frame from changing owner to another VM in the future.
When Xen detects a PV guest writing a L1TF-PTE, it responds by
activating shadow paging. This is normally only used for the live phase
of migration, and comes with a reasonable overhead.
KFENCE only cares about getting #PF to catch wild accesses; it doesn't
care about the value for non-present mappings. Use a fully inverted PTE,
to avoid hitting the slow path when running under Xen.
While adjusting the logic, take the opportunity to skip all actions if the
PTE is already in the right state, half the number PVOps callouts, and
skip TLB maintenance on a !P -> P transition which benefits non-Xen cases
too.
