And arch syscall tables to pick up changes from:

  b1e31c134a8a powerpc: restore some missing spu syscalls
  d3882564a77c syscalls: fix compat_sys_io_pgetevents_time64 usage
  54233a425403 uretprobe: change syscall number, again
  63ded110979b uprobe: Change uretprobe syscall scope and number
  9142be9e6443 x86/syscall: Mark exit[_group] syscall handlers __noreturn
  9aae1baa1c5d x86, arm: Add missing license tag to syscall tables files
  5c28424e9a34 syscalls: Fix to add sys_uretprobe to syscall.tbl
  190fec72df4a uprobe: Wire up uretprobe system call

This should be used to beautify syscall arguments and it addresses
these tools/perf build warnings:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header differences:
  diff -u tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "ARM:

   - Initial infrastructure for shadow stage-2 MMUs, as part of nested
     virtualization enablement

   - Support for userspace changes to the guest CTR_EL0 value, enabling
     (in part) migration of VMs between heterogenous hardware

   - Fixes + improvements to pKVM's FF-A proxy, adding support for v1.1
     of the protocol

   - FPSIMD/SVE support for nested, including merged trap configuration
     and exception routing

   - New command-line parameter to control the WFx trap behavior under
     KVM

   - Introduce kCFI hardening in the EL2 hypervisor

   - Fixes + cleanups for handling presence/absence of FEAT_TCRX

   - Miscellaneous fixes + documentation updates

  LoongArch:

   - Add paravirt steal time support

   - Add support for KVM_DIRTY_LOG_INITIALLY_SET

   - Add perf kvm-stat support for loongarch

  RISC-V:

   - Redirect AMO load/store access fault traps to guest

   - perf kvm stat support

   - Use guest files for IMSIC virtualization, when available

  s390:

   - Assortment of tiny fixes which are not time critical

  x86:

   - Fixes for Xen emulation

   - Add a global struct to consolidate tracking of host values, e.g.
     EFER

   - Add KVM_CAP_X86_APIC_BUS_CYCLES_NS to allow configuring the
     effective APIC bus frequency, because TDX

   - Print the name of the APICv/AVIC inhibits in the relevant
     tracepoint

   - Clean up KVM's handling of vendor specific emulation to
     consistently act on "compatible with Intel/AMD", versus checking
     for a specific vendor

   - Drop MTRR virtualization, and instead always honor guest PAT on
     CPUs that support self-snoop

   - Update to the newfangled Intel CPU FMS infrastructure

   - Don't advertise IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_OVF_CTRL as an MSR-to-be-saved, as
     it reads '0' and writes from userspace are ignored

   - Misc cleanups

  x86 - MMU:

   - Small cleanups, renames and refactoring extracted from the upcoming
     Intel TDX support

   - Don't allocate kvm_mmu_page.shadowed_translation for shadow pages
     that can't hold leafs SPTEs

   - Unconditionally drop mmu_lock when allocating TDP MMU page tables
     for eager page splitting, to avoid stalling vCPUs when splitting
     huge pages

   - Bug the VM instead of simply warning if KVM tries to split a SPTE
     that is non-present or not-huge. KVM is guaranteed to end up in a
     broken state because the callers fully expect a valid SPTE, it's
     all but dangerous to let more MMU changes happen afterwards

  x86 - AMD:

   - Make per-CPU save_area allocations NUMA-aware

   - Force sev_es_host_save_area() to be inlined to avoid calling into
     an instrumentable function from noinstr code

   - Base support for running SEV-SNP guests. API-wise, this includes a
     new KVM_X86_SNP_VM type, encrypting/measure the initial image into
     guest memory, and finalizing it before launching it. Internally,
     there are some gmem/mmu hooks needed to prepare gmem-allocated
     pages before mapping them into guest private memory ranges

     This includes basic support for attestation guest requests, enough
     to say that KVM supports the GHCB 2.0 specification

     There is no support yet for loading into the firmware those signing
     keys to be used for attestation requests, and therefore no need yet
     for the host to provide certificate data for those keys.

     To support fetching certificate data from userspace, a new KVM exit
     type will be needed to handle fetching the certificate from
     userspace.

     An attempt to define a new KVM_EXIT_COCO / KVM_EXIT_COCO_REQ_CERTS
     exit type to handle this was introduced in v1 of this patchset, but
     is still being discussed by community, so for now this patchset
     only implements a stub version of SNP Extended Guest Requests that
     does not provide certificate data

  x86 - Intel:

   - Remove an unnecessary EPT TLB flush when enabling hardware

   - Fix a series of bugs that cause KVM to fail to detect nested
     pending posted interrupts as valid wake eents for a vCPU executing
     HLT in L2 (with HLT-exiting disable by L1)

   - KVM: x86: Suppress MMIO that is triggered during task switch
     emulation

     Explicitly suppress userspace emulated MMIO exits that are
     triggered when emulating a task switch as KVM doesn't support
     userspace MMIO during complex (multi-step) emulation

     Silently ignoring the exit request can result in the
     WARN_ON_ONCE(vcpu-&gt;mmio_needed) firing if KVM exits to userspace
     for some other reason prior to purging mmio_needed

     See commit 0dc902267cb3 ("KVM: x86: Suppress pending MMIO write
     exits if emulator detects exception") for more details on KVM's
     limitations with respect to emulated MMIO during complex emulator
     flows

  Generic:

   - Rename the AS_UNMOVABLE flag that was introduced for KVM to
     AS_INACCESSIBLE, because the special casing needed by these pages
     is not due to just unmovability (and in fact they are only
     unmovable because the CPU cannot access them)

   - New ioctl to populate the KVM page tables in advance, which is
     useful to mitigate KVM page faults during guest boot or after live
     migration. The code will also be used by TDX, but (probably) not
     through the ioctl

   - Enable halt poll shrinking by default, as Intel found it to be a
     clear win

   - Setup empty IRQ routing when creating a VM to avoid having to
     synchronize SRCU when creating a split IRQCHIP on x86

   - Rework the sched_in/out() paths to replace kvm_arch_sched_in() with
     a flag that arch code can use for hooking both sched_in() and
     sched_out()

   - Take the vCPU @id as an "unsigned long" instead of "u32" to avoid
     truncating a bogus value from userspace, e.g. to help userspace
     detect bugs

   - Mark a vCPU as preempted if and only if it's scheduled out while in
     the KVM_RUN loop, e.g. to avoid marking it preempted and thus
     writing guest memory when retrieving guest state during live
     migration blackout

  Selftests:

   - Remove dead code in the memslot modification stress test

   - Treat "branch instructions retired" as supported on all AMD Family
     17h+ CPUs

   - Print the guest pseudo-RNG seed only when it changes, to avoid
     spamming the log for tests that create lots of VMs

   - Make the PMU counters test less flaky when counting LLC cache
     misses by doing CLFLUSH{OPT} in every loop iteration"

<content type='text'>
A platform can have more than one Arm SPE PMU. For example, a system
with multiple clusters may have each cluster enabled with its own Arm
SPE instance. In such case, the PMU devices will be named 'arm_spe_0',
'arm_spe_1', and so on.

Currently, the tool only supports 'arm_spe_0'. This commit extends
support to multiple Arm SPE PMUs by detecting the substring 'arm_spe_'.

A platform can have more than one Arm SPE PMU. For example, a system
with multiple clusters may have each cluster enabled with its own Arm
SPE instance. In such case, the PMU devices will be named 'arm_spe_0',
'arm_spe_1', and so on.

Currently, the tool only supports 'arm_spe_0'. This commit extends
support to multiple Arm SPE PMUs by detecting the substring 'arm_spe_'.

<title>perf build x86: Fix SC2034 error in syscalltbl.sh</title>

<id>759ce73cf74d666ca90d2860dc386fd839887e19</id>
<content type='text'>
Change the unused var in 'arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscalltbl.sh' to '_'
when reading from '$sorted_table'. This change allows the script to pass
tests of ShellCheck before and after version 0.7.2 at the same time.

When building in arch x86, syscalltbl.sh got a ShellCheck warning, which
makes compilation error:

    In arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscalltbl.sh line 27:
    while read nr _abi name entry _compat; do
                  ^-^ SC2034: abi appears unused.
                  Verify use (or export if used externally).
                                  ^----^ SC2034: compat appears unused.
                               Verify use (or export if used externally).

The script reads unused param abi and compat. It uses format '_xxx' to
indicate dummy vars, which won't work properly when ShellCheck &lt;= 0.7.2.

According to SC2034, the more general way of writing is to use directly
'_' to indicate discarding vars. 'entry' is also replaced by '_' because
it just happens to be defined in emit function, otherwise it will lead
to some misunderstandings.

In the past, the exclude_guest setting has had no effect on Intel PT
tracing, but that may not be the case in the future.

Set the flag correctly based upon whether KVM is using Intel PT
"Host/Guest" mode, which is determined by the kvm_intel module
parameter pt_mode:

 pt_mode=0	System-wide mode : host and guest output to host buffer
 pt_mode=1	Host/Guest mode : host/guest output to host/guest
                buffers respectively
