2 daysarm64: compat: Fix decrementing LDM/STM alignment emulationKarl Mehltretter
The compat alignment emulator inherited unsigned long data addresses from the 32-bit ARM implementation. In do_alignment_ldmstm(), nr_regs is an unsigned int holding the transfer size. The function uses the same address addition for both transfer directions, negating nr_regs first for a decrementing LDM or STM. The 32-bit negation wraps before the addition, so the handler adds nearly 4 GiB instead of subtracting the transfer size. The resulting address lies outside the compat task's address space, so decrementing LDM/STM emulation fails, while incrementing forms work. For example, a backwards-moving copy routine using decrementing LDM/STM can take an alignment fault when called with unaligned pointers. The compat handler should emulate the transfer, but this bug instead causes SIGBUS. The offset negated in do_alignment_finish_ldst() is offset_union.un, which is already unsigned long and does not have this width mismatch. Make nr_regs unsigned long so its negation and the address arithmetic use the same width.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini: "ARM64: - Add support for 'slot' based PMU events, paired with new UAPI that compels the user to select a specific PMU implementation - Lazy save/restore of vCPU state for pKVM, along with various fixes and cleanups to the management of vCPU state between the untrusted host and pKVM hypervisor - Disable traps of EL1 registers for nested hypervisors when FEAT_NV2p1 is present, guaranteeing that EL2-specific register bits are stateful in the EL1 counterpart - Leverage FEAT_NV3 to avoid unnecessary ERET/TLBI traps when the scope of those instructions remains 'in host' (i.e. L1 kernel/userspace) - Pile of fixes for the management of the VNCR pseudo-TLB, such as under-invalidations and races with concurrent TLBIs on other vCPUs - Consolidate the non-protected and pKVM view of ICH_VTR_EL2 to a runtime-patched constant, allowing the same data to be shared with pKVM prior to dropping host privileges - Considerable pile of LLM-assisted fixes around the shop but mostly in the VGIC, our in-kernel generator of bugs (and sometimes interrupts) LoongArch: - Advertise already-supported capabilities - Some bug fixes about timer and MMIO - Some hardening about interrupt injection - Replace kvm_err() with kvm_pr_unimpl() - Add FPU/LSX/LASX test cases for selftests RISC-V: - Svadu/Zicfiss/Zicfilp FWFT support for Guest - Use try_cmpxchg for IMSIC MRIF RMW - More arch-specific tracepoints in KVM RISC-V - Eager page splitting when enabling dirty logging - Optimize hfence request handling for SMP Guests - Improve dirty log clearing by skipping zero bits in mask - Guard HFENCE range loops against overflow - CPU PM notifiers in KVM RISC-V for non-retentive idle states - Fix kernel-mode vector context save/restore for Guest s390: - Fixes for vfio-ap - Fixes for the gmap rework - Fixes for vsie - AI triggered fixes all over - diag9c tracing - code move preparation for the additional arm64 support - enable CONTEXT_ANALYSIS x86: - Perform spring cleaning on x86.{c,h} and asm/kvm_host.h, by adding regs.c (the kvm_cache_regs.h => regs.h is already applied) and msrs.{c,h}, and moving relevant code out of x86.c - Split kvm_mmu in three parts, respectively to describe the format of page tables, walking the guest page tables and building the page tables. Always use the same page table walker kvm->arch.gva_walk as the entry point to convert a guest's virtual address, where the previous code used two different kvm_mmu structs depending on whether the walk included nested EPT/NPT or not. Make page fault vmexits reuse the permission checking machinery that is used for guest page faults. This is both a cleanup and a baby step towards supporting XS/XU memory permissions - Document some of the "fun" gotchas with the APIC base when creating IRQCHIPs on x86 - Remove a defunct masterclock update from kvm_xen_shared_info_init(). It could result in incorrect kvmclock due to triggering an unnecessary switch to/from masterclock mode - Skip Xen runstate time updates if time has effectively gone backwards, so that the guest doesn't report 100% steal time for a very, very long time - Drop KVM's runtime updates of the Xen PV timing CPUID leaf, as KVM was updating the wrong sub-leaf, and upstream KVM will soon provide all the information needed by userspace to populate the CPUID field itself - Fix a bug where KVM would walk a newly created rmap without holding the rmap lock (or mmu_lock) during aging - Fix a bug where aging TDP MMU SPTEs could clobber FROZEN SPTEs - Fix a variety of #DB priority bugs - Fix a class of races related to enabling Hyper-V emulation on a vCPU after the vCPU is visible to the rest of KVM - Use static calls for nested virtualization ops - Move more KVM-internal code out of x86's kvm_host.h - Enumerate support for a variety of Zhaoxin instructions that don't require explicit virtualization - Fix missing EFER validation bugs, including in the KVM_SET_SREGS* path - Harden kvm_vcpu_map() against double-mapping and thus leaking references - Misc fixes and cleanups, e.g. for largely benign syzkaller splats x86 (Intel): - Zero a vCPU's entry in VMX's Posted Interrupt Descriptor table used for IPI virtualization when the vCPU is freed, to fix a use-after-free where hardware will write to a freed vCPU's PID - Service local TLB flushes on a failed nested VM-Enter to fix a bug where KVM could miss a TLB on a future, successful VM-Enter with the same L2 VPID - Cap the maximum value shoved into the VMX Preemption Timer to workaround an erratum that affects all existing Intel CPUs that support CPUID 0x15 - Fix VPID virtualization bugs where KVM would fail to flush hardware TLBs - Harden the TDX "populate" ioctls against bad input, and to prepare for supporting in-place private<=>shared conversion x86 (AMD): - Forcefully invalidate SNP VMSA pages if their backing guest_memfd page is zapped/invalidated, e.g. due to a PUNCH_HOLE in response to a Page-State Change request - Remove a dying VM from the GA Log notifier list before the VM is actually destroyed, to fix a potential use-after-free - While FOLL_WRITE was needed in the past to trigger CoW unsharing, nowadays FOLL_LONGTERM does that already even without FOLL_WRITE, and in fact, get_user_pages() actually disallows FOLL_WRITE together with FOLL_LONGTERM. So don't pass FOLL_WRITE when registering encrypted memory regions, i.e. when pinning SEV/SEV-ES guest memory, to fix a regression with file-backed memory introduced by KVM's (correct) usage of long-term pins (This was reviewed by mm maintainers; for more information, see commit ee1a586dd1fa "KVM: SEV: Drop FOLL_WRITE for encrypted region registration") - Allocate full pages for SEV/SEV-ES {DE,EN}CRYPT ops on SNP-enabled hosts to fix a data corruption issue due to the PSP driver assigning to-be-written pages to firmware (as required by the SNP specs) - Unconditionally intercept ICBEP so that KVM generates the correct guest RIP when handling an ICEBP-induced TASK_SWITCH #VMEXIT - Harden the SNP "populate" ioctls against bad input, and to prepare for supporting in-place private<=>shared conversion Generic: - Remove kvm_debugfs_dir if kvm_init() fails after creating KVM's debugfs - Add a per-VM bitmap to track which vCPU IDs have been "claimed" but for which the vCPU isn't yet online, and use the bitmap to reject duplicate IDs before calling into arch code. This allows arch code to consume vcpu_id without having to worry about cross-vCPU clobbering (at least s390 and x86 have had related bugs) - Rework the so called "prepare" and "invalidate" guest_memfd hooks to prepare for in-place private<=>shared conversion, and clean up a few warts along the way Selftests: - Automatically allocate a full page for L2 guest stacks on x86 instead of requiring test-specific L1 guest code to carve out a portion of the L1 stack for L2 usage, and to ensure the L2 stack also adheres to the x86-64 calling convention ABI - Add a selftest to verify {Guest,Host}-Only behavior in x86's mediated PMU - Clean up nested SVM's handling of GPRs on L2<=>L1 transitions, reuse the functionality for nested VMX, and drop the ucall hack that was fudging around the lack of GPR switching on nVMX - Add a stress test to verify KVM doesn't clobber/drop #PF state, e.g. CR2, across save/restore, including when L2 is active - Add a test to verify KVM_CREATE_VM accepts exactly what is reported by KVM_CAP_VM_TYPES - Misc selftests fixes and cleanups - Fix several issues with seeding the pRNG, and rework the pRNG APIs to that the pRNG can be sanely used in host code, not just guest code - Add an IRQ test to validate virtual IRQ deliverty for IRQs wired up via KVM_IRQFD + KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING, with optional support for triggering IRQs via writes to an assigned VFIO device - Add syscall wrappers to assert success on a variety of pthreads and CPU affinity APIs - Set vCPU pthread affinity as early as possible to reduce contention issues that were surfaced by PREEMPT_LAZY, which result in runtimes of over a minute on large hosts, versus the expected ~5 seconds - Rework the PMU counters test to run each testcase using a single VM with many vCPUs for each sub-testcase, instead of using a unique VM for each sub-testcase. This cuts the runtime by ~20x Miscellaneous: - MAINTAINERS updates for vfio-ap, guest_memfd, kvm-x86.

"mm/damon: refactor damon_{start,stop,commit}() for simple error handling" (SJ Park) Refactor the DAMON core API functions to guarantee that all contexts are fully stopped when damon_start(), damon_stop(), or damon_commit() fail, eliminating the need for complex and error-prone caller-side cleanup code - "Keep tail page private zero at free and folio split" (Zi Yan) Add checks to ensure tail_page->private is zero when freeing compound or high-order pages and when promoting tail pages during large folio splits. By validating these fields at free and split time, it allows the removal of redundant private field clearing inside prep_compound_tail() - "mm: drop redundant lru_add_drain in anon folio reuse paths" (Barry Song) Eliminate redundant lru_add_drain() calls in wp_can_reuse_anon_folio() and do_swap_page() to reduce LRU lock contention and system overhead By validating folio refcounts against the LRU cache before draining and removing unnecessary drains in the swap path, it achieves up to a 30.5% reduction in drain calls during heavy swap workloads - "mm: clean up folio LRU and swap declarations" (Jianyue Wu) Reorganize folio LRU and swap code by relocating page-cluster state to mm/swap_state.c, renaming mm/swap.c to mm/folio.c, and moving MM-internal reclaim declarations into mm/internal.h. - "userfaultfd: working set tracking for VM guest memory" (Kiryl Shutsemau) Add userfaultfd support for tracking the working set of VM guest memory, so a VMM can identify hot pages and reclaim cold ones to tiered or remote storage - "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part 2)" (David Hildenbrand) Remove the remaining pieces of CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE, performing some smaller cleanups around freeing of reserved vmemmap pages on the way. - "mm/damon: update probe hits for runtime parameter commits" (SJ Park) Ensure that DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter is properly updated when monitoring intervals are changed at runtime, matching the behavior of nr_accesses. To achieve this, it refactors and renames existing helper functions for shared use, applies the updates to probe_hits, and handles edge cases in damon_probe_hits_mvsum() to maintain measurement accuracy. - "KSM: performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm" (xu xin) Resolve a severe KSM reverse-mapping performance bottleneck where thousands of split VMAs sharing a single anon_vma cause extended lock contention. By adding an interval-filtering check during the rmap walk, it reduces worst-case anon_vma lock hold times from over 500ms down to under 2ms, preventing application freezes and latency spikes under memory pressure. - "mm: split a couple of headers from internal.h" (Mike Rapoport) Split declarations related to mm_init, memblock, vmalloc and sparse into new headers - "KSM: use linear_page_index in collect_procs_ksm()" (xu xin) Apply the interval tree optimization from rmap_walk_ksm() to collect_procs_ksm() to avoid iterating over non-matching VMAs during KSM memory error handling. It hoists loop-invariant address initialization and restricts the anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach walk to a targeted page offset range, reducing redundant checks and improving lookup efficiency. - "selftests/mm: avoid false failures in hugetlb and KSM tests" (Sayali Patil) Fix issues in the hugetlb and KSM MM selftest categories that can report failures when the prerequisites for the tests are not satisfied - "mm/damon: introduce data attributes only monitoring" (SJ Park) Introduce attribute-weighted region management in DAMON, allowing users to prioritize specific data attributes (such as page sizes or cgroups) over or instead of access monitoring. By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely disable access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on weighted probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for attribute-focused workloads. - "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for userfaultfd-backed mappings" (Stanislav Kinsburskii) Extend hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by allowing the mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new hmm_range_fault_locked() helper. By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd regions while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers. - "mm: make VMA page offset handling more consistent" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Clean up and standardize how vma->vm_pgoff is accessed and manipulated across file-backed and anonymous mappings in the kernel It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(), vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while renaming rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their functionality. These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that will unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd folios. - "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" (Usama Arif) Address kernel panics and state corruption caused by MM walk callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries created during HMM migrations It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock() properly recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present THP or a standard migration entry. - "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" (Dev Jain) Refactor try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb, anonymous-lazyfree, and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated functions, laying the structural groundwork for batched anonymous large folio unmapping. - "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and additions" (Song Hu) Fix typos and fills in missing entries in the DAMON sysfs ABI document - "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs" (Gregory Price) Introduce an atomic sysfs state attribute and supporting DAX/MM infrastructure to prevent userland races when offlining and removing entire memory regions By adding an unplugged state alongside standard online modes, it enables whole-device atomic hotplug control while preserving backward compatibility. - "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Continue transitioning the kernel from the deprecated vm_flags_t type to vma_flags_t across core memory management infrastructure. It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(), unmapped area allocation, mm->def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like mlock, mprotect, and mremap. - "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" (xu xin) Refactor mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify duplicate slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM. It also adds code documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions. - "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields" (SJ Park) Clean up DAMON core structures by consistently marking internal-only fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper direct access from outer layers. It enforces encapsulation across core structures including damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct members. - "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races" (SJ Park) Address potential infinite loops, NULL dereferences, and race conditions identified in DAMON It fixes an infinite loop triggered by extreme user configurations, a NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races. - "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on RT/UP" (Brendan Jackman) Fix an NMI safety flaw in __free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks via non-PCP or isolated migration paths. It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory hotplug or large allocation frees. - "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent cleanups" (Brendan Jackman) Clean up and update page allocator nomenclature, documentation, and debug assertions. It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete VM_BUG_ON() assertions in allocation paths. - "mm/mseal: further cleanups" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Refactor and simplify the mseal implementation by clarifying API boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity. It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO, eliminates mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only to current->mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no functional changes intended. - "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive reclaim" (Ridong Chen) Resolve reclaim behavior bugs and clean up function parameters across memory reclaim paths It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead of collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete gfp_mask parameter from __node_reclaim(). - "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" (Kefeng Wang) Clean up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it removes the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP pages as non-resident. - "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants" (Kiryl Shutsemau) Two trivial cleanups in the folio split API - "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit exec expectation bugs" (SJ Park) Resolve minor operational and testing bugs in DAMON identified by Sashiko.

10 daysKVM: arm64: Avoid mismatched accesses to 'struct kvm_nvhe_init_params'Will Deacon
When running with hVHE enabled, ___kvm_hyp_init() calls __kvm_init_el2_state() on the CPU initialisation path during onlining and resume from suspend. In order to avoid clobbering the link register across this call, it is stashed away in the 'tmp' member of 'struct kvm_nvhe_init_params', however this save/restore operation is performed with the stage-1 MMU disabled at EL2 and therefore gives rise to coherency problems because the field is not aligned or padded to the CWG. For example, a cacheable write to a physically-adjacent structure sharing the same cacheline could lead to an eviction and subsequent write-back, overwriting the saved LR while the incoming CPU is executing __kvm_init_el2_state(). Save the lr in far_el2 and remove the 'tmp' member from 'struct kvm_nvhe_init_params' altogether.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull generic entry code updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Make syscall user dispatching configurable Not all architectures can makes use of syscall user dispatching. Allow them to disable the feature completely. - Consolidate stack randomization for the generic entry code and the architectures using it. Stack randomization on syscall entry was sprinkled throughout the architecture specific low level entry code and in some cases at the wrong points, e.g. before establishing state, which violates the non-instrumentable constraints of that code. Clean this up by integrating stack randomization into the generic entry code helpers so that it is invoked at the earliest possible point right after establishing state and converting all generic entry code using architecture over. - Clean up the syscall number handling in the generic entry code. It works correctly for architectures which have a separate return value storage in pt_regs, but fails to distinguish the case where user space handed in -1 as syscall number from the case where the entry code rejects it by returning -1 to the callers. Aside of that the return value functionality of those interfaces is not really intuitive. Fix this by separating the decision to reject a syscall (user dispatch, ptrace, seccomp ...) from the potential modification of the syscall number through these mechanisms. This solves most of the problems for architectures which do not have a separate return value storage in pt_regs except for the case where a tracepoint has a BPF script or a probe attached which overwrite both the syscall number and the return value. But that's a problem which cannot be solved in the generic code, that only can be addressed by separating the storage model in the affected architectures. * tag 'core-entry-2026-08-17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (23 commits) entry, treewide: Make syscall_enter_from_user_mode[_work]() indicate syscall execution entry: Make return type of syscall_trace_enter() bool entry: Rework trace_syscall_enter() entry: Rework syscall_audit_enter() syscall_user_dispatch: Introduce ARCH_SUPPORTS_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH entry: Fix seccomp bypass after ptrace with TSYNC x86/entry: Simplify the syscall number logic x86/entry: Get rid of the sys_ni_syscall() indirection x86/entry: Make syscall functions static ptrace, treewide: Rename ptrace_report_syscall_entry() to ptrace_report_syscall_permit_entry() seccomp, treewide: Rename and convert __secure_computing() to return boolean entry: Use syscall number instead of rereading it entry: Remove syscall_enter_from_user_mode() x86/syscall: Use [syscall_]enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() s390/syscall: Use enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() riscv/syscall: Use syscall_enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() powerpc/syscall: Use syscall_enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() loongarch/syscall: Use syscall_enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() entry: Provide [syscall_]enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() randomize_kstack: Provide add_random_kstack_offset_irqsoff() ...

2026-08-11arm64: entry: Avoid unnecessary local_irq_disable() on kernel exitVladimir Murzin
Currently, when exiting to kernel mode, we attempt involuntary preemption. The preemption logic expects IRQs to be disabled, which is why we call local_irq_disable() before attempting preemption. However, depending on the context, local_irq_disable() may be unnecessary: - __el1_irq(), the non-NMI EL1 IRQ path, already has IRQs disabled, so local_irq_disable() is redundant. - irqentry_exit_to_kernel_mode_preempt() immediately returns when exiting from an NMI-like context, so calling local_irq_disable() beforehand is unnecessary work. Furthermore, it confuses the pNMI state tracking when we are in a context with interrupts disabled and the GIC_PRIO_PSR_I_SET bit is set in the PMR, leading to a warning when CONFIG_ARM64_DEBUG_PRIORITY_MASKING=y: WARNING: ./arch/arm64/include/asm/irqflags.h:63 at arm64_exit_to_kernel_mode+0xb8/0xc0, CPU#40: retsnoop/31805 CPU: 40 UID: 0 PID: 31805 Comm: retsnoop Not tainted 7.2.0-rc6-next-20260805 #7 PREEMPTLAZY pstate: 234013c9 (nzCv DAIF +PAN -UAO +TCO +DIT +SSBS BTYPE=--) pc : arm64_exit_to_kernel_mode (arch/arm64/kernel/entry-common.c:63) lr : el1_abort (arch/arm64/kernel/entry-common.c:323) pmr: 000000f0 Call trace: arm64_exit_to_kernel_mode (arch/arm64/kernel/entry-common.c:63) (P) el1_abort (arch/arm64/kernel/entry-common.c:323) el1h_64_sync_handler (arch/arm64/kernel/entry-common.c:449) el1h_64_sync (arch/arm64/kernel/entry.S:589) [...] Split arm64_exit_to_kernel_mode() into preempt, non-preempt, and dispatch parts so that we can avoid this extra work where it is not needed and avoid breaking the pNMI tracking logic.

2026-08-06arch: arm64: add early_param idle=<wfi|yield|nop>Yureka Lilian
Overriding the idle mechanism might be useful for debugging and performance testing. Add a cmdline parameter for it, similar to the existing idle= parameter already present for the x86 and ppc architectures. It is also useful on platforms where the WFI instruction misbehaves, such as Apple Silicon SoCs. Generally, a misbehaving instruction should be treated as an erratum and patched using the alternatives framework. However, in the Apple Silicon case we need more flexibility because it is difficult to detect whether the erratum applies. For example, Linux VMs inside macOS have the same MIDR and may even seem like they're running in EL2 in the case of NV, but should continue using WFI (it's trapped and handled correctly by the hypervisor there). Thus, we prefer to let the m1n1 bootloader add the idle=nop parameter[1].

2026-08-06arm64: entry: mask DAIF before returning from C EL1 handlersAda Couprie Diaz
Most EL1 exceptions already call local_daif_mask() before returning, with the exception of debug exception handlers which do not change DAIF, and the IRQ/FIQ/Error handlers. However, DAIF get masked in kernel_exit() in all cases when returning from EL1 C handlers anyway. Move this masking from assembly to C by calling local_daif_mask() before irqentry_nmi_exit(). Unlike the raw DAIF masking helper, local_daif_mask() invokes trace_hardirqs_off(), so it must execute while RCU is still watching. Remove the disable_daif assembly macro, as this was its only use.

2026-08-06arm64: suspend: rely on daif helpers to handle PMRAda Couprie Diaz
Commit 77345ef70445 ("arm64: suspend: Use cpuidle context helpers in cpu_suspend()") added cpuidle helpers to handle PMR manipulation and restoration to ensure that the CPU receives interrupts when suspended and pseudo-NMIs are enabled. However, those helpers are called in between a pair of `local_daif_save()` and `local_daif_restore()`, which already configure the PMR as expected. Effectively, `arm_cpuidle_save_irq_context()` is a no-op here, even when using pseudo-NMIs, and `arm_cpuidle_restore_irq_context()` would not restore proper interrupt masking configuration early enough if there were unexpected changes during suspend or resume. (This can be observed with Trusted Firmware A (TF-A) at EL3 handling suspend through PSCI. Even though it should not be the case, TF-A can reset `ICC_PMR_EL1` during CPU_SUSPEND, thus resuming the kernel with an inconsistent priority mask value on hardware implementing more than the minimum number of priority levels, such as Morello.) Thus : remove the cpuidle context helpers as they do not do anything, but keep the comment mentioning the need for interrupts to reach the CPU if we are using pseudo-NMIs.

2026-08-06arm64: hibernate: mask DAIF before restoring hibernated kernelAda Couprie Diaz
The arm64 hibernate code manages the exception masking in an unsound way, leading to potential crashes and/or warnings during resume. When a hibernation image is saved in `swsusp_arch_suspend()`, all DAIF exceptions are masked (by virtue of `local_daif_save()`), and the suspended image is saved assuming that all DAIF exceptions will remain masked when the image is restored. When a hibernation image is resumed by `swsusp_arch_resume()`, only interrupts are masked (by virtue of `local_irq_disable()` in `resume_target_kernel()`). When pseudo-NMI is enabled the DAIF.IF bits will be clear, and regardless of pseudo-NMI the DAIF.DA bits will be clear. This means that there are two problems: (1) It is possible to take Debug, SError, or pseudo-NMI exceptions during the resume process. This is unsafe, as during the resume process both the old ane new kernels will tranisently be in an inconsistent state, and swsusp_arch_suspend_exit() won't retain an executable mapping of any exception vectors. Any exception taken here will be fatal and silent. (2) When re-entering the resumed kernel, some DAIF bits will be clear unexpectedly. This permits Debug, SError, or pseudo-NMI exceptions to be taken for a short period while the resumed kernel is not yet in a consistent state. This is detected by CONFIG_ARM64_DEBUG_PRIORITY_MASKING. Avoid these issues by masking all DAIF exceptions during resume.

2026-08-02arm64: Add override for MMFR1.HAFDBSRobin Murphy
In general it might be nice to have the ability to disable hardware access/dirty bit management for debugging or performance comparison purposes without having to rebuild the kernel. However once FEAT_HAFT comes into the picture we also start to have a real functional concern where the decision to use HAFT based on the boot CPUs can prevent SVA or late-onlining if SMMUs/CPUs are later found to lack HAFT support. To that end, add the appropriate MMFR1 override, with an easy "nohaft" alias for the significant case, partly since the feature/field naming isn't the most obvious, but also so it could potentially be redirected in future if someone wanted to attempt a higher-level means of turning off just HAFT usage independently from FEAT_HDBSS.

Commit e057b9477232 ("arm64: syscall: Ensure saved x0 is kept in-sync with tracer updates") attempted to resolve a long-standing issue with syscall entry tracing, where a tracer is able to manipulate the first syscall argument without being subjected to seccomp or audit checking. Unfortunately, that fix was incomplete [1], as it failed to update 'orig_x0' between a tracer updating x0 during a seccomp ptrace exit (SECCOMP_RET_TRACE) and the seccomp filter being re-evaluated. Rather than add hooks to the core seccomp code, instead move the synchronisation code into the ptrace GPR and syscall setting code so that 'orig_x0' is kept up to date with x0 whenever we're stopped on the syscall entry path.

sve_init_header_from_task() takes header as a pointer, so for the inactive mode header->size = sizeof(header); stores 8 rather than sizeof(struct user_sve_header), which is 16. Userspace sees an impossible size smaller than the header it describes. The inactive-mode check in sve_get_common() compares header.size against sizeof(header) as well, but there header is a struct, so the check can never fire. Reads of NT_ARM_SVE and NT_ARM_SSVE for the inactive mode therefore still return the other mode's FPSIMD data, exactly the situation the check was added to prevent. Fix the size, and make the check return the remaining membuf space instead of 0, which regset_get() would interpret as the entire (zero-filled) buffer having been populated.

2026-08-02arm64: escalate smp_send_stop() to an SDEI NMI as a last resortKiryl Shutsemau (Meta)
A CPU wedged with interrupts masked ignores the stop IPI, and without pseudo-NMI there is no NMI IPI to escalate to: a reboot proceeds with the CPU still running, and a kdump misses its registers. Add a third rung to smp_send_stop(): once the IPI (and pseudo-NMI IPI, if enabled) rungs have run, signal SDEI event 0 at whatever stayed online. Firmware delivers it regardless of the target's DAIF, so it reaches a CPU a plain IPI cannot; the target acks by going offline, which the caller already polls for. Fold the stop bookkeeping into one arm64_nmi_cpu_stop(regs, die_on_crash), shared by the stop IPI handlers, panic_smp_self_stop() and the SDEI handler, replacing the near-duplicate local_cpu_stop() and ipi_cpu_crash_stop(). @die_on_crash is the only difference: the IPI handlers pass true and PSCI CPU_OFF the CPU on a crash stop so a capture kernel can reclaim it; the SDEI handler and self-stop pass false and park. The SDEI park is required, not conservative -- its handler runs inside an SDEI event that is never completed (completing it resumes the wedged context), and a CPU_OFF from that unfinished-event context wedges EL3 on some firmware (left as a follow-up). The dump is unaffected; only re-onlining the CPU in an SMP capture kernel is lost.

Commit 7f1635737823 ("arm64: proton-pack: Fix hard lockup due to print in scheduler context") moved the "mitigation disabled" printks into spectre_print_disabled_mitigations(). For spectre-v2 and spectre-v4 only the pr_info_once() calls were removed, but for spectre-bhb the whole branch went with the print: - } else if (cpu_mitigations_off() || __nospectre_bhb) { - pr_info_once("spectre-bhb mitigation disabled ...\n"); spectre_bhb_enable_mitigation() therefore no longer tests __nospectre_bhb or cpu_mitigations_off() and the mitigation is enabled regardless of the command line. The parameter is still parsed and its flag is still checked by spectre_print_disabled_mitigations(), so the kernel prints "spectre-bhb mitigation disabled by command-line option" while /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spectre_v2 reports "Mitigation: CSV2, BHB" and the vectors are switched to EL1_VECTOR_BHB_LOOP. The only remaining escape is the SPECTRE_VULNERABLE arm at the top of the chain, which a CSV2 core never reaches, so from Cortex-A76 and Neoverse N1 onwards both nospectre_bhb and mitigations=off are ignored. Both are documented in Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt. The identical mistake was made on the neighbouring compile-time-option branch immediately before this regression and fixed shortly afterwards; this command-line branch was missed. build_bhb_mitigation() in arch/arm64/net/bpf_jit_comp.c still tests both flags, so nospectre_bhb currently keeps the exception-vector loop while dropping the cBPF epilogue mitigation. Restore the check, folded into a spectre_bhb_mitigations_off() helper alongside its spectre_v2/v4 counterparts, and use it for the boot-time print in spectre_print_disabled_mitigations() as well. The print itself already lives there and does not need restoring. Tested under QEMU with -cpu neoverse-n1 (CSV2, no ECBHB, no CLRBHB). Before, spectre_v2 read "Mitigation: CSV2, BHB" with and without the option; after, nospectre_bhb and mitigations=off both give "Mitigation: CSV2, but not BHB" and a boot without either is unchanged.

Generic ftrace also needs ftrace_modify_call() when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS is enabled, to retarget a callsite between two non-FTRACE_ADDR destinations, as happens when a direct trampoline is modified. The next patch allows DIRECT_CALLS without CALL_OPS, so widen the guard to cover both configurations and switch the body to the ftrace_rec_update_ops() wrapper, which already has a stub for the !CALL_OPS case. ftrace_make_call() already uses the same wrapper today. No functional change: with CALL_OPS enabled, ftrace_rec_update_ops() expands to the exact call this replaces.

2026-07-22arm64: errata: work around NVIDIA Olympus device store/load orderingShanker Donthineni
On systems with NVIDIA Olympus cores, a Device-nGnR* load can be observed by a peripheral before an older, non-overlapping Device-nGnR* store to the same peripheral. This breaks the program-order guarantee that software expects for Device-nGnR* accesses and can leave a peripheral in an incorrect state. The erratum can occur only when all of the following apply: - A PE executes a Device-nGnR* store followed by a younger Device-nGnR* load. - The store is not a store-release. - The accesses target the same peripheral and do not overlap in bytes. - There is at most one intervening Device-nGnR* store in program order, and there are no intervening Device-nGnR* loads. - There is no DSB or full DMB between the store and the load. - Specific microarchitectural and timing conditions occur. Insert a DMB OSH immediately before each raw MMIO load on affected CPUs. As a full barrier, DMB OSH orders the older Device store before the younger Device load and prevents the erroneous observation. Add the barrier directly to the __raw_read*() helpers, independently of the existing device-load-acquire alternative. On affected CPUs this adds one DMB OSH per raw MMIO load, including each load used by memcpy_fromio(). On unaffected CPUs the alternative remains a NOP.

2026-07-22arm64: topology: read CPPC FFH feedback counters in one operationPengjie Zhang
arm64 implements CPPC FFH feedback-counter reads using AMU counters. Because those counters must be sampled on the target CPU, reading the delivered and reference counters separately widens the observation window between them. Implement the paired FFH feedback-counter read hook on arm64 and sample both AMU counters together before decoding the requested CPC register values. Also factor the FFH bitfield extraction logic into a helper and reuse it from the existing single-counter FFH read path.

2026-07-21arm64/coco: Add pKVM as a CC platformMostafa Saleh
pKVM does support memory encryption, expose that to the rest of the kernel through cc_platform_has() At the moment, all devices inside the guest are emulated which requires its memory to be shared back to the host (decrypted), so set force_dma_unencrypted() to always return true. Although, typically pKVM guests rely on restricted-dma-pools to bounce traffic, with this change, it is possible to solely rely on the default SWIOTLB for that (assuming the appropriate size is set from the command line) Signed-off-by: Mostafa Saleh <smostafa@google.com> Reviewed-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Tested-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V (Arm) <aneesh.kumar@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org>
