MIPS: Fix MAX_REG_OFFSET

2025-04-30T18:04:59+00:00

Fix MAX_REG_OFFSET to point to the last register in 'pt_regs' and not to
the marker itself, which could allow regs_get_register() to return an
invalid offset.

MIPS: Fix idle VS timer enqueue

2025-04-27T08:12:03+00:00

MIPS re-enables interrupts on its idle routine and performs
a TIF_NEED_RESCHED check afterwards before putting the CPU to sleep.

The IRQs firing between the check and the 'wait' instruction may set the
TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag. In order to deal with this possible race, IRQs
interrupting __r4k_wait() rollback their return address to the
beginning of __r4k_wait() so that TIF_NEED_RESCHED is checked
again before going back to sleep.

However idle IRQs can also queue timers that may require a tick
reprogramming through a new generic idle loop iteration but those timers
would go unnoticed here because __r4k_wait() only checks
TIF_NEED_RESCHED. It doesn't check for pending timers.

Fix this with fast-forwarding idle IRQs return address to the end of the
idle routine instead of the beginning, so that the generic idle loop
handles both TIF_NEED_RESCHED and pending timers.

CONFIG_CPU_MICROMIPS has been removed along with the nop instructions.
There, NOPs are 2 byte in size, so change the code with 3 _ssnop which are
always 4 byte and remove the ifdef. Added ehb to make sure the hazard
is always cleared.

mm: pgtable: convert some architectures to use tlb_remove_ptdesc()

2025-04-01T22:17:13+00:00

Now, the nine architectures of csky, hexagon, loongarch, m68k, mips,
nios2, openrisc, sh and um do not select CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE,
and just call pagetable_dtor() + tlb_remove_page_ptdesc() (the wrapper of
tlb_remove_page()).  This is the same as the implementation of
tlb_remove_{ptdesc|table}() under !CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE, so
convert these architectures to use tlb_remove_ptdesc().

The ultimate goal is to make the architecture only use tlb_remove_ptdesc()
or tlb_remove_table() for page table pages.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

- The series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from Uros
Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide
compile-time checking of percpu area accesses.

This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were
reported. In all cases the calling code was found to be incorrect.

- The series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some
relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code.

- The series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David
Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using
device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is
needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now
succeed.

- The series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed
remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated
for half a year and nobody has complained.

- The series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo
Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime
effects are anticipated.

- The series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from
process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the
madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed
in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark.

- The series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code" from
Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan
noticed when working on the swap code.

- The series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin
Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak
user-visible output.

- The series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes
handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's
handling of large folios.

- The series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless damos_walk()
behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the accuracy of
kdamond's walking of DAMON regions.

- The series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from Lorenzo
Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io and
core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is preparatory
work for the future removal of page structure fields.

- The series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS filter"
from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering by
huge page sizes.

- The series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings"
from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its
present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and
file-backed mappings.

- The series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during
reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping
for pte-mapped large folios.

- The series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from Suren
Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for
pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more
messy. This patchset provides small (0-10%) improvements on one
microbenchmark.

- The series "Docs/mm/damon: misc DAMOS filters documentation fixes and
improves" from SeongJae Park does some maintenance work on the DAMON
docs.

- The series "hugetlb/CMA improvements for large systems" from Frank

Lorenzo Stoakes permits userspace to use /proc/pid/pagemap to
determine whether a particular page is a guard page.

- The series "mm, swap: remove swap slot cache" from Kairui Song
removes the swap slot cache from the allocation path - it simply
wasn't being effective.

- The series "mm: cleanups for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from
David Hildenbrand implements a number of unrelated cleanups in this
code.

- The series "mm: Rework generic PTDUMP configs" from Anshuman Khandual
implements a number of preparatoty cleanups to the GENERIC_PTDUMP
Kconfig logic.

- The series "mm/damon: auto-tune aggregation interval" from SeongJae
Park implements a feedback-driven automatic tuning feature for
DAMON's aggregation interval tuning.

powerpc, sparc and x86 lazy MMU implementations. Ryan did this in
preparation for implementing lazy mmu mode for arm64 to optimize
vmalloc.

- The series "mm/page_alloc: Some clarifications for migratetype
fallback" from Brendan Jackman reworks some commentary to make the
code easier to follow.

Prescher does that. It allows the careful operator to significantly
reduce boot time by tuning the parallalization of huge page
initialization.

- The series "Fix calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgwb"
from Tang Yizhou fixes the tracing output from the dirty page
balancing code.

- The series "mm/damon: make allow filters after reject filters useful
and intuitive" from SeongJae Park improves the handling of allow and
reject filters. Behaviour is made more consistent and the documention
is updated accordingly.

- The series "Switch zswap to object read/write APIs" from Yosry Ahmed
updates zswap to the new object read/write APIs and thus permits the
removal of some legacy code from zpool and zsmalloc.

- The series "Some trivial cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang does as
it claims.

- The series "fs/dax: Fix ZONE_DEVICE page reference counts" from
Alistair Popple regularizes the weird ZONE_DEVICE page refcount
handling in DAX, permittig the removal of a number of special-case
checks.

on handling layers" from SeongJae Park adds a couple of new sysfs
directories to ease the management of DAMON/DAMOS filters.

Capitulino reworks the page_ext initialization to fix a boot-time
crash which was observed with an unusual combination of compile and
cmdline options.

- The series "Buddy allocator like (or non-uniform) folio split" from
Zi Yan reworks the code to split a folio into smaller folios. The
main benefit is lessened memory consumption: fewer post-split folios
are generated.

- The series "Minimize xa_node allocation during xarry split" from Zi
Yan reduces the number of xarray xa_nodes which are generated during
an xarray split.

- The series "drivers/base/memory: Two cleanups" from Gavin Shan

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "ARM:

   - Nested virtualization support for VGICv3, giving the nested
     hypervisor control of the VGIC hardware when running an L2 VM

   - Removal of 'late' nested virtualization feature register masking,
     making the supported feature set directly visible to userspace

   - Support for emulating FEAT_PMUv3 on Apple silicon, taking advantage
     of an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED trap that covers all PMUv3 registers

   - Paravirtual interface for discovering the set of CPU
     implementations where a VM may run, addressing a longstanding issue
     of guest CPU errata awareness in big-little systems and
     cross-implementation VM migration

   - Userspace control of the registers responsible for identifying a
     particular CPU implementation (MIDR_EL1, REVIDR_EL1, AIDR_EL1),
     allowing VMs to be migrated cross-implementation

   - pKVM updates, including support for tracking stage-2 page table
     allocations in the protected hypervisor in the 'SecPageTable' stat

   - Fixes to vPMU, ensuring that userspace updates to the vPMU after
     KVM_RUN are reflected into the backing perf events

  LoongArch:

   - Remove unnecessary header include path

   - Assume constant PGD during VM context switch

   - Add perf events support for guest VM

  RISC-V:

   - Disable the kernel perf counter during configure

   - KVM selftests improvements for PMU

   - Fix warning at the time of KVM module removal

  x86:

   - Add support for aging of SPTEs without holding mmu_lock.

     Not taking mmu_lock allows multiple aging actions to run in
     parallel, and more importantly avoids stalling vCPUs. This includes
     an implementation of per-rmap-entry locking; aging the gfn is done
     with only a per-rmap single-bin spinlock taken, whereas locking an
     rmap for write requires taking both the per-rmap spinlock and the
     mmu_lock.

     Note that this decreases slightly the accuracy of accessed-page
     information, because changes to the SPTE outside aging might not
     use atomic operations even if they could race against a clear of
     the Accessed bit.

     This is deliberate because KVM and mm/ tolerate false
     positives/negatives for accessed information, and testing has shown
     that reducing the latency of aging is far more beneficial to
     overall system performance than providing "perfect" young/old
     information.

   - Defer runtime CPUID updates until KVM emulates a CPUID instruction,
     to coalesce updates when multiple pieces of vCPU state are
     changing, e.g. as part of a nested transition

   - Fix a variety of nested emulation bugs, and add VMX support for
     synthesizing nested VM-Exit on interception (instead of injecting
     #UD into L2)

   - Drop "support" for async page faults for protected guests that do
     not set SEND_ALWAYS (i.e. that only want async page faults at CPL3)

   - Bring a bit of sanity to x86's VM teardown code, which has
     accumulated a lot of cruft over the years. Particularly, destroy
     vCPUs before the MMU, despite the latter being a VM-wide operation

   - Add common secure TSC infrastructure for use within SNP and in the
     future TDX

   - Block KVM_CAP_SYNC_REGS if guest state is protected. It does not
     make sense to use the capability if the relevant registers are not
     available for reading or writing

   - Don't take kvm->lock when iterating over vCPUs in the suspend
     notifier to fix a largely theoretical deadlock

   - Use the vCPU's actual Xen PV clock information when starting the
     Xen timer, as the cached state in arch.hv_clock can be stale/bogus

   - Fix a bug where KVM could bleed PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED across
     different PV clocks; restrict PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED to kvmclock, as
     KVM's suspend notifier only accounts for kvmclock, and there's no
     evidence that the flag is actually supported by Xen guests

   - Clean up the per-vCPU "cache" of its reference pvclock, and instead
     only track the vCPU's TSC scaling (multipler+shift) metadata (which
     is moderately expensive to compute, and rarely changes for modern
     setups)

   - Don't write to the Xen hypercall page on MSR writes that are
     initiated by the host (userspace or KVM) to fix a class of bugs
     where KVM can write to guest memory at unexpected times, e.g.
     during vCPU creation if userspace has set the Xen hypercall MSR
     index to collide with an MSR that KVM emulates

   - Restrict the Xen hypercall MSR index to the unofficial synthetic
     range to reduce the set of possible collisions with MSRs that are
     emulated by KVM (collisions can still happen as KVM emulates
     Hyper-V MSRs, which also reside in the synthetic range)

   - Clean up and optimize KVM's handling of Xen MSR writes and
     xen_hvm_config

   - Update Xen TSC leaves during CPUID emulation instead of modifying
     the CPUID entries when updating PV clocks; there is no guarantee PV
     clocks will be updated between TSC frequency changes and CPUID
     emulation, and guest reads of the TSC leaves should be rare, i.e.
     are not a hot path

  x86 (Intel):

   - Fix a bug where KVM unnecessarily reads XFD_ERR from hardware and
     thus modifies the vCPU's XFD_ERR on a #NM due to CR0.TS=1

   - Pass XFD_ERR as the payload when injecting #NM, as a preparatory
     step for upcoming FRED virtualization support

   - Decouple the EPT entry RWX protection bit macros from the EPT
     Violation bits, both as a general cleanup and in anticipation of
     adding support for emulating Mode-Based Execution Control (MBEC)

   - Reject KVM_RUN if userspace manages to gain control and stuff
     invalid guest state while KVM is in the middle of emulating nested
     VM-Enter

   - Add a macro to handle KVM's sanity checks on entry/exit VMCS
     control pairs in anticipation of adding sanity checks for secondary
     exit controls (the primary field is out of bits)

  x86 (AMD):

   - Ensure the PSP driver is initialized when both the PSP and KVM
     modules are built-in (the initcall framework doesn't handle
     dependencies)

   - Use long-term pins when registering encrypted memory regions, so
     that the pages are migrated out of MIGRATE_CMA/ZONE_MOVABLE and
     don't lead to excessive fragmentation

   - Add macros and helpers for setting GHCB return/error codes

   - Add support for Idle HLT interception, which elides interception if
     the vCPU has a pending, unmasked virtual IRQ when HLT is executed

   - Fix a bug in INVPCID emulation where KVM fails to check for a
     non-canonical address

   - Don't attempt VMRUN for SEV-ES+ guests if the vCPU's VMSA is
     invalid, e.g. because the vCPU was "destroyed" via SNP's AP
     Creation hypercall

   - Reject SNP AP Creation if the requested SEV features for the vCPU
     don't match the VM's configured set of features

  Selftests:

   - Fix again the Intel PMU counters test; add a data load and do
     CLFLUSH{OPT} on the data instead of executing code. The theory is
     that modern Intel CPUs have learned new code prefetching tricks
     that bypass the PMU counters

   - Fix a flaw in the Intel PMU counters test where it asserts that an
     event is counting correctly without actually knowing what the event
     counts on the underlying hardware

   - Fix a variety of flaws, bugs, and false failures/passes
     dirty_log_test, and improve its coverage by collecting all dirty
     entries on each iteration

   - Fix a few minor bugs related to handling of stats FDs

   - Add infrastructure to make vCPU and VM stats FDs available to tests
     by default (open the FDs during VM/vCPU creation)

   - Relax an assertion on the number of HLT exits in the xAPIC IPI test
     when running on a CPU that supports AMD's Idle HLT (which elides
     interception of HLT if a virtual IRQ is pending and unmasked)"

Pull VDSO infrastructure updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Consolidate the VDSO storage

   The VDSO data storage and data layout has been largely architecture
   specific for historical reasons. That increases the maintenance
   effort and causes inconsistencies over and over.

   There is no real technical reason for architecture specific layouts
   and implementations. The architecture specific details can easily be
   integrated into a generic layout, which also reduces the amount of
   duplicated code for managing the mappings.

   Convert all architectures over to a unified layout and common mapping
   infrastructure. This splits the VDSO data layout into subsystem
   specific blocks, timekeeping, random and architecture parts, which
   provides a better structure and allows to improve and update the
   functionalities without conflict and interaction.

 - Rework the timekeeping data storage

   The current implementation is designed for exposing system
   timekeeping accessors, which was good enough at the time when it was
   designed.

   PTP and Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) change that as there are
   requirements to expose independent PTP clocks, which are not related
   to system timekeeping.

   Replace the monolithic data storage by a structured layout, which
   allows to add support for independent PTP clocks on top while reusing
   both the data structures and the time accessor implementations.

Merge branch 'kvm-nvmx-and-vm-teardown' into HEAD

2025-03-20T17:13:00+00:00

The immediate issue being fixed here is a nVMX bug where KVM fails to
detect that, after nested VM-Exit, L1 has a pending IRQ (or NMI).
However, checking for a pending interrupt accesses the legacy PIC, and
x86's kvm_arch_destroy_vm() currently frees the PIC before destroying
vCPUs, i.e. checking for IRQs during the forced nested VM-Exit results
in a NULL pointer deref; that's a prerequisite for the nVMX fix.

The remaining patches attempt to bring a bit of sanity to x86's VM
teardown code, which has accumulated a lot of cruft over the years.  E.g.
KVM currently unloads each vCPU's MMUs in a separate operation from
destroying vCPUs, all because when guest SMP support was added, KVM had a
kludgy MMU teardown flow that broke when a VM had more than one 1 vCPU.
And that oddity lived on, for 18 years...
