[ Upstream commit 67d1189d1095d471ed7fa426c7e384a7140a5dd7 ]

Looking at the error path of __io_uaddr_map, if we fail after pinning
the pages for any reasons, ret will be set to -EINVAL and the error
handler won't properly release the pinned pages.

I didn't manage to trigger it without forcing a failure, but it can
happen in real life when memory is heavily fragmented.

[ Upstream commit 6f0974eccbf78baead1735722c4f1ee3eb9422cd ]

This kind of state is per-syscall, and since we're doing the waiting off
entering the io_uring_enter(2) syscall, there's no way that iowait can
already be set for this case. Simplify it by setting it if we need to,
and always clearing it to 0 when done.

If we have a ton of notifications coming in, we can be looping in here

because we can starve userspace. If the application is waiting on N

<title>io_uring: remove looping around handling traditional task_work</title>

[ Upstream commit 592b4805432af075468876771c0f7d41273ccb3c ]

A previous commit added looping around handling traditional task_work
as an optimization, and while that may seem like a good idea, it's also
possible to run into application starvation doing so. If the task_work
generation is bursty, we can get very deep task_work queues, and we can
end up looping in here for a very long time.

One immediately observable problem with that is handling network traffic
using provided buffers, where flooding incoming traffic and looping
task_work handling will very quickly lead to buffer starvation as we
keep running task_work rather than returning to the application so it
can handle the associated CQEs and also provide buffers back.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "Generic:

   - Use memdup_array_user() to harden against overflow.

   - Unconditionally advertise KVM_CAP_DEVICE_CTRL for all
     architectures.

   - Clean up Kconfigs that all KVM architectures were selecting

   - New functionality around "guest_memfd", a new userspace API that
     creates an anonymous file and returns a file descriptor that refers
     to it. guest_memfd files are bound to their owning virtual machine,
     cannot be mapped, read, or written by userspace, and cannot be
     resized. guest_memfd files do however support PUNCH_HOLE, which can
     be used to switch a memory area between guest_memfd and regular
     anonymous memory.

   - New ioctl KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES allowing userspace to specify
     per-page attributes for a given page of guest memory; right now the
     only attribute is whether the guest expects to access memory via
     guest_memfd or not, which in Confidential SVMs backed by SEV-SNP,
     TDX or ARM64 pKVM is checked by firmware or hypervisor that
     guarantees confidentiality (AMD PSP, Intel TDX module, or EL2 in
     the case of pKVM).

  x86:

   - Support for "software-protected VMs" that can use the new
     guest_memfd and page attributes infrastructure. This is mostly
     useful for testing, since there is no pKVM-like infrastructure to
     provide a meaningfully reduced TCB.

   - Fix a relatively benign off-by-one error when splitting huge pages
     during CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG.

   - Fix a bug where KVM could incorrectly test-and-clear dirty bits in
     non-leaf TDP MMU SPTEs if a racing thread replaces a huge SPTE with
     a non-huge SPTE.

   - Use more generic lockdep assertions in paths that don't actually
     care about whether the caller is a reader or a writer.

   - let Xen guests opt out of having PV clock reported as "based on a
     stable TSC", because some of them don't expect the "TSC stable" bit
     (added to the pvclock ABI by KVM, but never set by Xen) to be set.

   - Revert a bogus, made-up nested SVM consistency check for
     TLB_CONTROL.

   - Advertise flush-by-ASID support for nSVM unconditionally, as KVM
     always flushes on nested transitions, i.e. always satisfies flush
     requests. This allows running bleeding edge versions of VMware
     Workstation on top of KVM.

   - Sanity check that the CPU supports flush-by-ASID when enabling SEV
     support.

   - On AMD machines with vNMI, always rely on hardware instead of
     intercepting IRET in some cases to detect unmasking of NMIs

   - Support for virtualizing Linear Address Masking (LAM)

   - Fix a variety of vPMU bugs where KVM fail to stop/reset counters
     and other state prior to refreshing the vPMU model.

   - Fix a double-overflow PMU bug by tracking emulated counter events
     using a dedicated field instead of snapshotting the "previous"
     counter. If the hardware PMC count triggers overflow that is
     recognized in the same VM-Exit that KVM manually bumps an event
     count, KVM would pend PMIs for both the hardware-triggered overflow
     and for KVM-triggered overflow.

   - Turn off KVM_WERROR by default for all configs so that it's not
     inadvertantly enabled by non-KVM developers, which can be
     problematic for subsystems that require no regressions for W=1
     builds.

   - Advertise all of the host-supported CPUID bits that enumerate
     IA32_SPEC_CTRL "features".

   - Don't force a masterclock update when a vCPU synchronizes to the
     current TSC generation, as updating the masterclock can cause
     kvmclock's time to "jump" unexpectedly, e.g. when userspace
     hotplugs a pre-created vCPU.

   - Use RIP-relative address to read kvm_rebooting in the VM-Enter
     fault paths, partly as a super minor optimization, but mostly to
     make KVM play nice with position independent executable builds.

   - Guard KVM-on-HyperV's range-based TLB flush hooks with an #ifdef on
     CONFIG_HYPERV as a minor optimization, and to self-document the
     code.

   - Add CONFIG_KVM_HYPERV to allow disabling KVM support for HyperV
     "emulation" at build time.

  ARM64:

   - LPA2 support, adding 52bit IPA/PA capability for 4kB and 16kB base
     granule sizes. Branch shared with the arm64 tree.

   - Large Fine-Grained Trap rework, bringing some sanity to the
     feature, although there is more to come. This comes with a prefix
     branch shared with the arm64 tree.

   - Some additional Nested Virtualization groundwork, mostly
     introducing the NV2 VNCR support and retargetting the NV support to
     that version of the architecture.

   - A small set of vgic fixes and associated cleanups.

  Loongarch:

   - Optimization for memslot hugepage checking

   - Cleanup and fix some HW/SW timer issues

   - Add LSX/LASX (128bit/256bit SIMD) support

  RISC-V:

   - KVM_GET_REG_LIST improvement for vector registers

   - Generate ISA extension reg_list using macros in get-reg-list
     selftest

   - Support for reporting steal time along with selftest

  s390:

   - Bugfixes

  Selftests:

   - Fix an annoying goof where the NX hugepage test prints out garbage
     instead of the magic token needed to run the test.

   - Fix build errors when a header is delete/moved due to a missing
     flag in the Makefile.

   - Detect if KVM bugged/killed a selftest's VM and print out a helpful
     message instead of complaining that a random ioctl() failed.

   - Annotate the guest printf/assert helpers with __printf(), and fix
     the various bugs that were lurking due to lack of said annotation"

Instead of explicitly checking -&gt;cq_wait_nr for whether there are
waiting, which is currently represented by 0, we can store there a
large value and the nr_tw will automatically filter out those cases.
Add a named constant for that and for the wake up bias value.

While it reads as do something if it's not the first entry, it does
exactly the opposite because "first" here is a pointer to the first
entry. Remove the confusion by renaming it into "head".

Kill a smp_mb__after_atomic() right before wake_up, it's useless, and
add a comment explaining implicit barriers from cmpxchg and
synchronsation around -&gt;cq_wait_nr with the waiter.

<title>io_uring: adjust defer tw counting</title>

The UINT_MAX work item counting bias in io_req_local_work_add() in case
of !IOU_F_TWQ_LAZY_WAKE works in a sense that we will not miss a wake up,
however it's still eerie. In particular, if we add a lazy work item
after a non-lazy one, we'll increment it and get nr_tw==0, and
subsequent adds may try to unnecessarily wake up the task, which is
though not so likely to happen in real workloads.

Half the bias, it's still large enough to be larger than any valid
-&gt;cq_wait_nr, which is limited by IORING_MAX_CQ_ENTRIES, but further
have a good enough of space before it overflows.
