Mathias Stearn reports that since v6.19, there are two big issues
affecting rseq:

(1) On arm64 specifically, rseq critical sections aren't aborted when
    they should be.

(2) The 'cpu_id_start' field is no longer written by the kernel in all
    cases it used to be, including some cases where TCMalloc depends on
    the kernel clobbering the field.

This patch fixes issue #1. This patch DOES NOT fix issue #2, which will
need to be addressed by other patches.

The arm64-specific brokenness is a result of commits:

  2fc0e4b4126c ("rseq: Record interrupt from user space")
  39a167560a61 ("rseq: Optimize event setting")

The first commit failed to add a call to rseq_note_user_irq_entry() on
arm64. Thus arm64 never sets rseq_event::user_irq to record that it may
be necessary to abort an active rseq critical section upon return to
userspace. On its own, this commit had no functional impact as the value
of rseq_event::user_irq was not consumed.

The second commit relied upon rseq_event::user_irq to determine whether
or not to bother to perform rseq work when returning to userspace. As
rseq_event::user_irq wasn't set on arm64, this work would be skipped,
and consequently an active rseq critical section would not be aborted.

Fix this by giving arm64 syscall-specific entry/exit paths, and
performing the relevant logic in syscall and non-syscall paths,
including calling rseq_note_user_irq_entry() for non-syscall entry.

Currently arm64 cannot use syscall_enter_from_user_mode(),
syscall_exit_to_user_mode(), and irqentry_exit_to_user_mode(), due to
ordering constraints with exception masking, and risk of ABI breakage
for syscall tracing/audit/etc. For the moment the entry/exit logic is
left as arm64-specific, directly using enter_from_user_mode() and
exit_to_user_mode(), but mirroring the generic code.

I intend to follow up with refactoring/cleanup, as we did for kernel
mode entry paths in commit:

  041aa7a85390 ("entry: Split preemption from irqentry_exit_to_kernel_mode()")

... which will allow arm64 to use the GENERIC_IRQ_ENTRY functions directly.

sve_set_common() is the backend for PTRACE_SETREGSET(NT_ARM_SVE) and
PTRACE_SETREGSET(NT_ARM_SSVE). Every write in the function operates on
the tracee (target) - except a single memset that uses current instead,
zeroing the tracer's saved V0-V31 / FPSR / FPCR shadow on every ptrace
SETREGSET call.

The memset is meant to give the tracee a defined zero register image
before the user-supplied payload is copied in (for partial writes,
header-only writes, and FPSIMD&lt;-&gt;SVE format switches). Aiming it at
current both denies the tracee that clean slate and silently corrupts
the tracer.

The corruption of the tracer's saved FPSIMD state is not always
observable. Where the tracer's state is live on a CPU, this may be
reused without loading the corrupted state from memory, and will
eventually be written back over the corrupted state. Where the tracer's
state is saved in SVE_PT_REGS_SVE format, only the FPSR and FPCR are
clobbered, and the effective copy of the vectors is in the task's
sve_state.

Reproducible on an arm64 kernel with SVE: a single-threaded tracer that
loads a known pattern into V0-V31, issues PTRACE_SETREGSET(NT_ARM_SVE)
on a child, and reads V0-V31 back observes them all zeroed within tens
of thousands of iterations when a sibling thread keeps stealing the
FPSIMD CPU binding.

<title>arm64: signal: Preserve POR_EL0 if poe_context is missing</title>

Commit 2e8a1acea859 ("arm64: signal: Improve POR_EL0 handling to
avoid uaccess failures") delayed the write to POR_EL0 in
rt_sigreturn to avoid spurious uaccess failures. This change however
relies on the poe_context frame record being present: on a system
supporting POE, calling sigreturn without a poe_context record now
results in writing arbitrary data from the kernel stack into POR_EL0.

Fix this by adding a __valid_fields member to struct
user_access_state, and zeroing the struct on allocation.
restore_poe_context() then indicates that the por_el0 field is valid
by setting the corresponding bit in __valid_fields, and
restore_user_access_state() only touches POR_EL0 if there is a valid
value to set it to. This is in line with how POR_EL0 was originally
handled; all frame records are currently optional, except
fpsimd_context.

To ensure that __valid_fields is kept in sync, fields (currently
just por_el0) are now accessed via accessors and prefixed with __ to
discourage direct access.

The expression (*opcode++ &lt;&lt; 24) and exp * code_alignment_factor
may overflow signed int and becomes negative.

Fix this by casting each byte to u64 before shifting. Also fix
the misaligned break statement while we are here.

Example of the result can be seen here:
Link: https://godbolt.org/z/zhY8d3595

It maybe not a real problem, but could be a issue in future.

Pull more arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "The main 'feature' is a workaround for C1-Pro erratum 4193714
  requiring IPIs during TLB maintenance if a process is running in user
  space with SME enabled.

  The hardware acknowledges the DVMSync messages before completing
  in-flight SME accesses, with security implications. The workaround
  makes use of the mm_cpumask() to track the cores that need
  interrupting (arm64 hasn't used this mask before).

  The rest are fixes for MPAM, CCA and generated header that turned up
  during the merging window or shortly before.

  Summary:

  Core features:

   - Add workaround for C1-Pro erratum 4193714 - early CME (SME unit)
     DVMSync acknowledgement. The fix consists of sending IPIs on TLB
     maintenance to those CPUs running in user space with SME enabled

   - Include kernel-hwcap.h in list of generated files (missed in a
     recent commit generating the KERNEL_HWCAP_* macros)

  CCA:

   - Fix RSI_INCOMPLETE error check in arm-cca-guest

  MPAM:

   - Fix an unmount-&gt;remount problem with the CDP emulation,
     uninitialised variable and checker warnings"

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "Arm:

   - Add support for tracing in the standalone EL2 hypervisor code,
     which should help both debugging and performance analysis. This
     uses the new infrastructure for 'remote' trace buffers that can be
     exposed by non-kernel entities such as firmware, and which came
     through the tracing tree

   - Add support for GICv5 Per Processor Interrupts (PPIs), as the
     starting point for supporting the new GIC architecture in KVM

   - Finally add support for pKVM protected guests, where pages are
     unmapped from the host as they are faulted into the guest and can
     be shared back from the guest using pKVM hypercalls. Protected
     guests are created using a new machine type identifier. As the
     elusive guestmem has not yet delivered on its promises, anonymous
     memory is also supported

     This is only a first step towards full isolation from the host; for
     example, the CPU register state and DMA accesses are not yet
     isolated. Because this does not really yet bring fully what it
     promises, it is hidden behind CONFIG_ARM_PKVM_GUEST +
     'kvm-arm.mode=protected', and also triggers TAINT_USER when a VM is
     created. Caveat emptor

   - Rework the dreaded user_mem_abort() function to make it more
     maintainable, reducing the amount of state being exposed to the
     various helpers and rendering a substantial amount of state
     immutable

   - Expand the Stage-2 page table dumper to support NV shadow page
     tables on a per-VM basis

   - Tidy up the pKVM PSCI proxy code to be slightly less hard to
     follow

   - Fix both SPE and TRBE in non-VHE configurations so that they do not
     generate spurious, out of context table walks that ultimately lead
     to very bad HW lockups

   - A small set of patches fixing the Stage-2 MMU freeing in error
     cases

   - Tighten-up accepted SMC immediate value to be only #0 for host
     SMCCC calls

   - The usual cleanups and other selftest churn

  LoongArch:

   - Use CSR_CRMD_PLV for kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel()

   - Add DMSINTC irqchip in kernel support

  RISC-V:

   - Fix steal time shared memory alignment checks

   - Fix vector context allocation leak

   - Fix array out-of-bounds in pmu_ctr_read() and pmu_fw_ctr_read_hi()

   - Fix double-free of sdata in kvm_pmu_clear_snapshot_area()

   - Fix integer overflow in kvm_pmu_validate_counter_mask()

   - Fix shift-out-of-bounds in make_xfence_request()

   - Fix lost write protection on huge pages during dirty logging

   - Split huge pages during fault handling for dirty logging

   - Skip CSR restore if VCPU is reloaded on the same core

   - Implement kvm_arch_has_default_irqchip() for KVM selftests

   - Factored-out ISA checks into separate sources

   - Added hideleg to struct kvm_vcpu_config

   - Factored-out VCPU config into separate sources

   - Support configuration of per-VM HGATP mode from KVM user space

  s390:

   - Support for ESA (31-bit) guests inside nested hypervisors

   - Remove restriction on memslot alignment, which is not needed
     anymore with the new gmap code

   - Fix LPSW/E to update the bear (which of course is the breaking
     event address register)

  x86:

   - Shut up various UBSAN warnings on reading module parameter before
     they were initialized

   - Don't zero-allocate page tables that are used for splitting
     hugepages in the TDP MMU, as KVM is guaranteed to set all SPTEs in
     the page table and thus write all bytes

   - As an optimization, bail early when trying to unsync 4KiB mappings
     if the target gfn can just be mapped with a 2MiB hugepage

  x86 generic:

   - Copy single-chunk MMIO write values into struct kvm_vcpu (more
     precisely struct kvm_mmio_fragment) to fix use-after-free stack
     bugs where KVM would dereference stack pointer after an exit to
     userspace

   - Clean up and comment the emulated MMIO code to try to make it
     easier to maintain (not necessarily "easy", but "easier")

   - Move VMXON+VMXOFF and EFER.SVME toggling out of KVM (not *all* of
     VMX and SVM enabling) as it is needed for trusted I/O

   - Advertise support for AVX512 Bit Matrix Multiply (BMM) instructions

   - Immediately fail the build if a required #define is missing in one
     of KVM's headers that is included multiple times

   - Reject SET_GUEST_DEBUG with -EBUSY if there's an already injected
     exception, mostly to prevent syzkaller from abusing the uAPI to
     trigger WARNs, but also because it can help prevent userspace from
     unintentionally crashing the VM

   - Exempt SMM from CPUID faulting on Intel, as per the spec

   - Misc hardening and cleanup changes

  x86 (AMD):

   - Fix and optimize IRQ window inhibit handling for AVIC; make it
     per-vCPU so that KVM doesn't prematurely re-enable AVIC if multiple
     vCPUs have to-be-injected IRQs

   - Clean up and optimize the OSVW handling, avoiding a bug in which
     KVM would overwrite state when enabling virtualization on multiple
     CPUs in parallel. This should not be a problem because OSVW should
     usually be the same for all CPUs

   - Drop a WARN in KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION where KVM complains
     about a "too large" size based purely on user input

   - Clean up and harden the pinning code for KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION

   - Disallow synchronizing a VMSA of an already-launched/encrypted
     vCPU, as doing so for an SNP guest will crash the host due to an
     RMP violation page fault

   - Overhaul KVM's APIs for detecting SEV+ guests so that VM-scoped
     queries are required to hold kvm-&gt;lock, and enforce it by lockdep.
     Fix various bugs where sev_guest() was not ensured to be stable for
     the whole duration of a function or ioctl

   - Convert a pile of kvm-&gt;lock SEV code to guard()

   - Play nicer with userspace that does not enable
     KVM_CAP_EXCEPTION_PAYLOAD, for which KVM needs to set CR2 and DR6
     as a response to ioctls such as KVM_GET_VCPU_EVENTS (even if the
     payload would end up in EXITINFO2 rather than CR2, for example).
     Only set CR2 and DR6 when consumption of the payload is imminent,
     but on the other hand force delivery of the payload in all paths
     where userspace retrieves CR2 or DR6

   - Use vcpu-&gt;arch.cr2 when updating vmcb12's CR2 on nested #VMEXIT
     instead of vmcb02-&gt;save.cr2. The value is out of sync after a
     save/restore or after a #PF is injected into L2

   - Fix a class of nSVM bugs where some fields written by the CPU are
     not synchronized from vmcb02 to cached vmcb12 after VMRUN, and so
     are not up-to-date when saved by KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE

   - Fix a class of bugs where the ordering between KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE
     and KVM_SET_{S}REGS could cause vmcb02 to be incorrectly
     initialized after save+restore

   - Add a variety of missing nSVM consistency checks

   - Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly update VMCB fields
     on nested #VMEXIT

   - Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly synthesize #UD or
     #GP for SVM-related instructions

   - Add support for save+restore of virtualized LBRs (on SVM)

   - Refactor various helpers and macros to improve clarity and
     (hopefully) make the code easier to maintain

   - Aggressively sanitize fields when copying from vmcb12, to guard
     against unintentionally allowing L1 to utilize yet-to-be-defined
     features

   - Fix several bugs where KVM botched rAX legality checks when
     emulating SVM instructions. There are remaining issues in that KVM
     doesn't handle size prefix overrides for 64-bit guests

   - Fail emulation of VMRUN/VMLOAD/VMSAVE if mapping vmcb12 fails
     instead of somewhat arbitrarily synthesizing #GP (i.e. don't double
     down on AMD's architectural but sketchy behavior of generating #GP
     for "unsupported" addresses)

   - Cache all used vmcb12 fields to further harden against TOCTOU bugs

  x86 (Intel):

   - Drop obsolete branch hint prefixes from the VMX instruction macros

   - Use ASM_INPUT_RM() in __vmcs_writel() to coerce clang into using a
     register input when appropriate

   - Code cleanups

  guest_memfd:

   - Don't mark guest_memfd folios as accessed, as guest_memfd doesn't
     support reclaim, the memory is unevictable, and there is no storage
     to write back to

  LoongArch selftests:

   - Add KVM PMU test cases

  s390 selftests:

   - Enable more memory selftests

  x86 selftests:

   - Add support for Hygon CPUs in KVM selftests

   - Fix a bug in the MSR test where it would get false failures on
     AMD/Hygon CPUs with exactly one of RDPID or RDTSCP

   - Add an MADV_COLLAPSE testcase for guest_memfd as a regression test
     for a bug where the kernel would attempt to collapse guest_memfd
     folios against KVM's will"

Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - "pid: make sub-init creation retryable" (Oleg Nesterov)

   Make creation of init in a new namespace more robust by clearing away
   some historical cruft which is no longer needed. Also some
   documentation fixups

 - "selftests/fchmodat2: Error handling and general" (Mark Brown)

   Fix and a cleanup for the fchmodat2() syscall selftest

 - "lib: polynomial: Move to math/ and clean up" (Andy Shevchenko)

 - "hung_task: Provide runtime reset interface for hung task detector"
   (Aaron Tomlin)

   Give administrators the ability to zero out
   /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_detect_count

 - "tools/getdelays: use the static UAPI headers from
   tools/include/uapi" (Thomas Weißschuh)

   Teach getdelays to use the in-kernel UAPI headers rather than the
   system-provided ones

 - "watchdog/hardlockup: Improvements to hardlockup" (Mayank Rungta)

   Several cleanups and fixups to the hardlockup detector code and its
   documentation

 - "lib/bch: fix undefined behavior from signed left-shifts" (Josh Law)

   A couple of small/theoretical fixes in the bch code

 - "ocfs2/dlm: fix two bugs in dlm_match_regions()" (Junrui Luo)

 - "cleanup the RAID5 XOR library" (Christoph Hellwig)

   A quite far-reaching cleanup to this code. I can't do better than to
   quote Christoph:

     "The XOR library used for the RAID5 parity is a bit of a mess right
      now. The main file sits in crypto/ despite not being cryptography
      and not using the crypto API, with the generic implementations
      sitting in include/asm-generic and the arch implementations
      sitting in an asm/ header in theory. The latter doesn't work for
      many cases, so architectures often build the code directly into
      the core kernel, or create another module for the architecture
      code.

      Change this to a single module in lib/ that also contains the
      architecture optimizations, similar to the library work Eric
      Biggers has done for the CRC and crypto libraries later. After
      that it changes to better calling conventions that allow for
      smarter architecture implementations (although none is contained
      here yet), and uses static_call to avoid indirection function call
      overhead"

 - "lib/list_sort: Clean up list_sort() scheduling workarounds"
   (Kuan-Wei Chiu)

   Clean up this library code by removing a hacky thing which was added
   for UBIFS, which UBIFS doesn't actually need

 - "Fix bugs in extract_iter_to_sg()" (Christian Ehrhardt)

   Fix a few bugs in the scatterlist code, add in-kernel tests for the
   now-fixed bugs and fix a leak in the test itself

 - "kdump: Enable LUKS-encrypted dump target support in ARM64 and
   PowerPC" (Coiby Xu)

   Enable support of the LUKS-encrypted device dump target on arm64 and
   powerpc

 - "ocfs2: consolidate extent list validation into block read callbacks"
   (Joseph Qi)

   Cleanup, simplify, and make more robust ocfs2's validation of extent
   list fields (Kernel test robot loves mounting corrupted fs images!)

* tag 'mm-nonmm-stable-2026-04-15-04-20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (127 commits)
  ocfs2: validate group add input before caching
  ocfs2: validate bg_bits during freefrag scan
  ocfs2: fix listxattr handling when the buffer is full
  doc: watchdog: fix typos etc
  update Sean's email address
  ocfs2: use get_random_u32() where appropriate
  ocfs2: split transactions in dio completion to avoid credit exhaustion
  ocfs2: remove redundant l_next_free_rec check in __ocfs2_find_path()
  ocfs2: validate extent block list fields during block read
  ocfs2: remove empty extent list check in ocfs2_dx_dir_lookup_rec()
  ocfs2: validate dx_root extent list fields during block read
  ocfs2: fix use-after-free in ocfs2_fault() when VM_FAULT_RETRY
  ocfs2: handle invalid dinode in ocfs2_group_extend
  .get_maintainer.ignore: add Askar
  ocfs2: validate bg_list extent bounds in discontig groups
  checkpatch: exclude forward declarations of const structs
  tools/accounting: handle truncated taskstats netlink messages
  taskstats: set version in TGID exit notifications
  ocfs2/heartbeat: fix slot mapping rollback leaks on error paths
  arm64,ppc64le/kdump: pass dm-crypt keys to kdump kernel
