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 |

Filesystems currently have no standard mechanism for reporting metadata corruption and file I/O errors to userspace via fsnotify. Each filesystem (xfs, ext4, erofs, f2fs, etc.) privately defines EFSCORRUPTED, and error reporting to fanotify is inconsistent or absent entirely. This introduces a generic fserror infrastructure built around struct super_block that gives filesystems a standard way to queue metadata and file I/O error reports for delivery to fsnotify. Errors are queued via mempools and queue_work to avoid holding filesystem locks in the notification path; unmount waits for pending events to drain. A new super_operations::report_error callback lets filesystem drivers respond to file I/O errors themselves (to be used by an upcoming XFS self-healing patchset). On the uapi side, EFSCORRUPTED and EUCLEAN are promoted from private per-filesystem definitions to canonical errno.h values across all architectures" * tag 'vfs-7.0-rc1.fserror' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: ext4: convert to new fserror helpers xfs: translate fsdax media errors into file "data lost" errors when convenient xfs: report fs metadata errors via fsnotify iomap: report file I/O errors to the VFS fs: report filesystem and file I/O errors to fsnotify uapi: promote EFSCORRUPTED and EUCLEAN to errno.h |

arm64: Convert SCTLR_EL2 to sysreg infrastructure
Convert SCTLR_EL2 to the sysreg infrastructure, as per the 2025-12_rel revision of the Registers.json file. Note that we slightly deviate from the above, as we stick to the ARM ARM M.a definition of SCTLR_EL2[9], which is RES0, in order to avoid dragging the POE2 definitions...

tools headers: Go back to include asm-generic/unistd.h for arm64
The header unistd.h is included under Arm64's uAPI folder (see
tools/arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/), but it does not include its
dependent header unistd_64.h.
The intention is for unistd_64.h to be generated dynamically using
scripts/Makefile.asm-headers.
However, this dynamic approach causes problems because the header is not
available early enough, even though it is widely included throughout
tools.
Using the perf build as an example:
1) Feature detection: Perf first runs feature tests.
The BPF feature program test-bpf.c includes unistd.h. Since
unistd_64.h has not been generated yet, the program fails to build,
and the BPF feature ends up being disabled.
2) libperf build:
The libperf Makefile later generates unistd_64.h on the fly, so
libperf itself builds successfully.
3) Final perf build:
Although the perf binary can build successfully using the generated
header, we never get a chance to build BPF skeleton programs,
because BPF support was already disabled earlier.
Restore to include asm-generic/unistd.h for fixing the issue. This
aligns with most architectures (x86 is a special case that keeps
unistd_32.h/unistd_64.h for its particular syscall numbers) and ensures
the header is available from the start.
Fixes:

x86/CPU/AMD: Simplify the spectral chicken fix
msr_set_bit() takes a bit number to set but MSR_ZEN2_SPECTRAL_CHICKEN_BIT is a bit mask. The usual pattern that code uses is a _BIT-named type macro instead of a mask. So convert it to a bit number to reflect that. Also, msr_set_bit() already does the reading and checking whether the bit needs to be set so use that instead of a local variable. Fixup tabbing while at it. No functional changes.

[GIT PULL] perf tools changes for v6.19
Perf event/metric description
-----------------------------
Unify all event and metric descriptions in JSON format.
Now event parsing and handling is greatly simplified by that.
From users point of view, perf list will provide richer
information about hardware events like the following.
$ perf list hw
List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e or -M):
legacy hardware:
branch-instructions
[Retired branch instructions [This event is an alias of branches]. Unit: cpu]
branch-misses
[Mispredicted branch instructions. Unit: cpu]
branches
[Retired branch instructions [This event is an alias of branch-instructions]. Unit: cpu]
bus-cycles
[Bus cycles,which can be different from total cycles. Unit: cpu]
cache-misses
[Cache misses. Usually this indicates Last Level Cache misses; this is intended to be used in conjunction with the
PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_REFERENCES event to calculate cache miss rates. Unit: cpu]
cache-references
[Cache accesses. Usually this indicates Last Level Cache accesses but this may vary depending on your CPU. This may include
prefetches and coherency messages; again this depends on the design of your CPU. Unit: cpu]
cpu-cycles
[Total cycles. Be wary of what happens during CPU frequency scaling [This event is an alias of cycles]. Unit: cpu]
cycles
[Total cycles. Be wary of what happens during CPU frequency scaling [This event is an alias of cpu-cycles]. Unit: cpu]
instructions
[Retired instructions. Be careful,these can be affected by various issues,most notably hardware interrupt counts. Unit: cpu]
ref-cycles
[Total cycles; not affected by CPU frequency scaling. Unit: cpu]
But most notable changes would be in the perf stat. On the right side,
the default metrics are better named and aligned. :)

Deferred unwinding support
--------------------------
With the kernel support [1], perf can use deferred callchains for
userspace stack trace with frame pointers like below:
$ perf record --call-graph fp,defer ...
This will be transparent to users when it comes to other commands like
perf report and perf script. They will merge the deferred callchains to
the previous samples as if they were collected together.
[1] https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/c69993ecdd4dfde2b7da08b022052a33b203da07
ARM SPE updates
---------------
* Extensive enhancements to support various kinds of memory operations
including GCS, MTE allocation tags, memcpy/memset, register access,
and SIMD operations.
* Add inverted data source filter (inv_data_src_filter) support to
exclude certain data sources.
* Improve documentation.
Vendor event updates
--------------------
* Intel: Updated event files for Sierra Forest, Panther Lake, Meteor Lake,
Lunar Lake, Granite Rapids, and others.
* Arm64: Added metrics for i.MX94 DDR PMU and Cortex-A720AE definitions.
* RISC-V: Added JSON support for T-HEAD C920V2.
Misc
----
* Improve pointer tracking in data type profiling. It'd give better
output when the variable is using container_of() to convert type.
* Annotation support for perf c2c report in TUI. Press 'a' key to
enter annotation view from cacheline browser window. This will show
which instruction is causing the cacheline contention.
* Lots of fixes and test coverage improvements!

hardware. In addition, the VGIC now supports EOImode==1 style
deactivations for IRQs which may occur on a separate vCPU than the
one that acked the IRQ.

FEAT_HAF (hardware update to the Access Flag) in the software page
table walkers and shadow MMU.
- Allow page table destruction to reschedule, fixing long need_resched
latencies observed when destroying a large VM.
- Minor fixes to KVM and selftests
Loongarch:
- Get VM PMU capability from HW GCFG register.
- Add AVEC basic support.
- Use 64-bit register definition for EIOINTC.
- Add KVM timer test cases for tools/selftests.
RISC/V:
- SBI message passing (MPXY) support for KVM guest
- Give a new, more specific error subcode for the case when in-kernel
AIA virtualization fails to allocate IMSIC VS-file
- Support KVM_DIRTY_LOG_INITIALLY_SET, enabling dirty log gradually
in small chunks
- Fix guest page fault within HLV* instructions
- Flush VS-stage TLB after VCPU migration for Andes cores
s390:
- Always allocate ESCA (Extended System Control Area), instead of
starting with the basic SCA and converting to ESCA with the
addition of the 65th vCPU. The price is increased number of
exits (and worse performance) on z10 and earlier processor;
ESCA was introduced by z114/z196 in 2010.
- VIRT_XFER_TO_GUEST_WORK support
- Operation exception forwarding support
- Cleanups
x86:
- Skip the costly "zap all SPTEs" on an MMIO generation wrap if MMIO SPTE
caching is disabled, as there can't be any relevant SPTEs to zap.
- Relocate a misplaced export.
- Fix an async #PF bug where KVM would clear the completion queue when the
guest transitioned in and out of paging mode, e.g. when handling an SMI and
then returning to paged mode via RSM.
- Leave KVM's user-return notifier registered even when disabling
virtualization, as long as kvm.ko is loaded. On reboot/shutdown, keeping
the notifier registered is ok; the kernel does not use the MSRs and the
callback will run cleanly and restore host MSRs if the CPU manages to
return to userspace before the system goes down.
- Use the checked version of {get,put}_user().
- Fix a long-lurking bug where KVM's lack of catch-up logic for periodic APIC
timers can result in a hard lockup in the host.
- Revert the periodic kvmclock sync logic now that KVM doesn't use a
clocksource that's subject to NTP corrections.
- Clean up KVM's handling of MMIO Stale Data and L1TF, and bury the latter
behind CONFIG_CPU_MITIGATIONS.
- Context switch XCR0, XSS, and PKRU outside of the entry/exit fast path;
the only reason they were handled in the fast path was to paper of a bug
in the core #MC code, and that has long since been fixed.
- Add emulator support for AVX MOV instructions, to play nice with emulated
devices whose guest drivers like to access PCI BARs with large multi-byte
instructions.
x86 (AMD):
- Fix a few missing "VMCB dirty" bugs.
- Fix the worst of KVM's lack of EFER.LMSLE emulation.
- Add AVIC support for addressing 4k vCPUs in x2AVIC mode.
- Fix incorrect handling of selective CR0 writes when checking intercepts
during emulation of L2 instructions.
- Fix a currently-benign bug where KVM would clobber SPEC_CTRL[63:32] on
VMRUN and #VMEXIT.
- Fix a bug where KVM corrupt the guest code stream when re-injecting a soft
interrupt if the guest patched the underlying code after the VM-Exit, e.g.
when Linux patches code with a temporary INT3.
- Add KVM_X86_SNP_POLICY_BITS to advertise supported SNP policy bits to
userspace, and extend KVM "support" to all policy bits that don't require
any actual support from KVM.
x86 (Intel):
- Use the root role from kvm_mmu_page to construct EPTPs instead of the
current vCPU state, partly as worthwhile cleanup, but mostly to pave the
way for tracking per-root TLB flushes, and elide EPT flushes on pCPU
migration if the root is clean from a previous flush.
- Add a few missing nested consistency checks.
- Rip out support for doing "early" consistency checks via hardware as the
functionality hasn't been used in years and is no longer useful in general;
replace it with an off-by-default module param to WARN if hardware fails
a check that KVM does not perform.
- Fix a currently-benign bug where KVM would drop the guest's SPEC_CTRL[63:32]
on VM-Enter.
- Misc cleanups.
- Overhaul the TDX code to address systemic races where KVM (acting on behalf
of userspace) could inadvertantly trigger lock contention in the TDX-Module;
KVM was either working around these in weird, ugly ways, or was simply
oblivious to them (though even Yan's devilish selftests could only break
individual VMs, not the host kernel)
- Fix a bug where KVM could corrupt a vCPU's cpu_list when freeing a TDX vCPU,
if creating said vCPU failed partway through.
- Fix a few sparse warnings (bad annotation, 0 != NULL).
- Use struct_size() to simplify copying TDX capabilities to userspace.
- Fix a bug where TDX would effectively corrupt user-return MSR values if the
TDX Module rejects VP.ENTER and thus doesn't clobber host MSRs as expected.
Selftests:
- Fix a math goof in mmu_stress_test when running on a single-CPU system/VM.
- Forcefully override ARCH from x86_64 to x86 to play nice with specifying
ARCH=x86_64 on the command line.
- Extend a bunch of nested VMX to validate nested SVM as well.
- Add support for LA57 in the core VM_MODE_xxx macro, and add a test to
verify KVM can save/restore nested VMX state when L1 is using 5-level
paging, but L2 is not.
- Clean up the guest paging code in anticipation of sharing the core logic for
nested EPT and nested NPT.
guest_memfd:
- Add NUMA mempolicy support for guest_memfd, and clean up a variety of
rough edges in guest_memfd along the way.
- Define a CLASS to automatically handle get+put when grabbing a guest_memfd
from a memslot to make it harder to leak references.
- Enhance KVM selftests to make it easer to develop and debug selftests like
those added for guest_memfd NUMA support, e.g. where test and/or KVM bugs
often result in hard-to-debug SIGBUS errors.
- Misc cleanups.
Generic:
- Use the recently-added WQ_PERCPU when creating the per-CPU workqueue for
irqfd cleanup.
- Fix a goof in the dirty ring documentation.
- Fix choice of target for directed yield across different calls to
kvm_vcpu_on_spin(); the function was always starting from the first
vCPU instead of continuing the round-robin search.

Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
"These are the arm64 updates for 6.19.
The biggest part is the Arm MPAM driver under drivers/resctrl/.
There's a patch touching mm/ to handle spurious faults for huge pmd
(similar to the pte version). The corresponding arm64 part allows us
to avoid the TLB maintenance if a (huge) page is reused after a write
fault. There's EFI refactoring to allow runtime services with
preemption enabled and the rest is the usual perf/PMU updates and
several cleanups/typos.
Summary:
Core features:
- Basic Arm MPAM (Memory system resource Partitioning And Monitoring)

It represents the first time I can think of that the upper=>kernel/lower=>user address space convention is actually recognized by the hardware on x86. It ensures that userspace can not even get the hardware to _start_ page walks for the kernel address space. This, of course, is a really nice generic side channel defense. This is really only a down payment on LASS support. There are still some details to work out in its interaction with EFI calls and vsyscall emulation. For now, LASS is disabled if either of those features is compiled in (which is almost always the case). There's also one straggler commit in here which converts an under-utilized AMD CPU feature leaf into a generic Linux-defined leaf so more feature can be packed in there.

KVM/arm64 updates for 6.19
- Support for userspace handling of synchronous external aborts (SEAs),
allowing the VMM to potentially handle the abort in a non-fatal
manner.
- Large rework of the VGIC's list register handling with the goal of
supporting more active/pending IRQs than available list registers in
hardware. In addition, the VGIC now supports EOImode==1 style
deactivations for IRQs which may occur on a separate vCPU than the
one that acked the IRQ.
- Support for FEAT_XNX (user / privileged execute permissions) and
FEAT_HAF (hardware update to the Access Flag) in the software page
table walkers and shadow MMU.
- Allow page table destruction to reschedule, fixing long need_resched
latencies observed when destroying a large VM.
- Minor fixes to KVM and selftests

objtool updates for v6.19:
- klp-build livepatch module generation (Josh Poimboeuf)
Introduce new objtool features and a klp-build
script to generate livepatch modules using a
source .patch as input.
This builds on concepts from the longstanding out-of-tree
kpatch project which began in 2012 and has been used for
many years to generate livepatch modules for production kernels.
However, this is a complete rewrite which incorporates
hard-earned lessons from 12+ years of maintaining kpatch.
Key improvements compared to kpatch-build:
- Integrated with objtool: Leverages objtool's existing control-flow
graph analysis to help detect changed functions.
- Works on vmlinux.o: Supports late-linked objects, making it
compatible with LTO, IBT, and similar.
- Simplified code base: ~3k fewer lines of code.
- Upstream: No more out-of-tree #ifdef hacks, far less cruft.
- Cleaner internals: Vastly simplified logic for symbol/section/reloc
inclusion and special section extraction.
- Robust __LINE__ macro handling: Avoids false positive binary diffs
caused by the __LINE__ macro by introducing a fix-patch-lines script
which injects #line directives into the source .patch to preserve
the original line numbers at compile time.
- Disassemble code with libopcodes instead of running objdump
(Alexandre Chartre)
- Disassemble support (-d option to objtool) by Alexandre Chartre,
which supports the decoding of various Linux kernel code generation
specials such as alternatives:

KVM: arm64: selftests: Remove ARM64_FEATURE_FIELD_BITS and its last user
ARM64_FEATURE_FIELD_BITS is set to 4 but not all ID register fields are 4 bits. See for instance ID_AA64SMFR0_EL1. The last user of this define, ARM64_FEATURE_FIELD_BITS, is the set_id_regs selftest. Its logic assumes the fields aren't a single bits; assert that's the case and stop using the define. As there are no more users, ARM64_FEATURE_FIELD_BITS is removed from the arm64 tools sysreg.h header. A separate commit removes this from the kernel version of the header.

KVM: selftests: Test for KVM_EXIT_ARM_SEA
Test how KVM handles guest SEA when APEI is unable to claim it, and KVM_CAP_ARM_SEA_TO_USER is enabled. The behavior is triggered by consuming recoverable memory error (UER) injected via EINJ. The test asserts two major things: 1. KVM returns to userspace with KVM_EXIT_ARM_SEA exit reason, and has provided expected fault information, e.g. esr, flags, gva, gpa. 2. Userspace is able to handle KVM_EXIT_ARM_SEA by injecting SEA to guest and KVM injects expected SEA into the VCPU. Tested on a data center server running Siryn AmpereOne processor that has RAS support. Several things to notice before attempting to run this selftest: - The test relies on EINJ support in both firmware and kernel to inject UER. Otherwise the test will be skipped. - The under-test platform's APEI should be unable to claim the SEA. Otherwise the test will be skipped. - Some platform doesn't support notrigger in EINJ, which may cause APEI and GHES to offline the memory before guest can consume injected UER, and making test unable to trigger SEA.

arm64: Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ in non-uapi headers
While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__ automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel. This can be very confusing when switching between userspace and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize now on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers. This is a mostly mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i" statement), except for the following files where comments with mis-spelled macros were tweaked manually: arch/arm64/include/asm/stacktrace/frame.h arch/arm64/include/asm/kvm_ptrauth.h arch/arm64/include/asm/debug-monitors.h arch/arm64/include/asm/esr.h arch/arm64/include/asm/scs.h arch/arm64/include/asm/memory.h Signed-off-by: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> |

x86/cpufeatures: Correct LKGS feature flag description
Quotation marks in cpufeatures.h comments are special and when the comment begins with a quoted string, that string lands in /proc/cpuinfo, turning it into a user-visible one. The LKGS comment doesn't begin with a quoted string but just in case drop the quoted "kernel" in there to avoid confusion. And while at it, simply change the description into what the LKGS instruction does for more clarity. No functional changes.

Performance events updates for v6.18:
Core perf code updates:
- Convert mmap() related reference counts to refcount_t. This
is in reaction to the recently fixed refcount bugs, which
could have been detected earlier and could have mitigated
the bug somewhat. (Thomas Gleixner, Peter Zijlstra)
- Clean up and simplify the callchain code, in preparation
for sframes. (Steven Rostedt, Josh Poimboeuf)
Uprobes updates:
- Add support to optimize usdt probes on x86-64, which
gives a substantial speedup. (Jiri Olsa)
- Cleanups and fixes on x86 (Peter Zijlstra)
PMU driver updates:
- Various optimizations and fixes to the Intel PMU driver
(Dapeng Mi)
Misc cleanups and fixes:
- Remove redundant __GFP_NOWARN (Qianfeng Rong)

objtool/LoongArch: Mark special atomic instruction as INSN_BUG type
When compiling with LLVM and CONFIG_RUST is set, there exists the following objtool warning: rust/compiler_builtins.o: warning: objtool: __rust__unordsf2(): unexpected end of section .text.unlikely. objdump shows that the end of section .text.unlikely is an atomic instruction: amswap.w $zero, $ra, $zero According to the LoongArch Reference Manual, if the amswap.w atomic memory access instruction has the same register number as rd and rj, the execution will trigger an Instruction Non-defined Exception, so mark the above instruction as INSN_BUG type to fix the warning.

riscv: Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ in non-uapi headers
While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__ automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel. This can be very confusing when switching between userspace and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers now. This originally was a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i" statement), with some manual fixups during rebasing of the patch later.
