Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"It feels like the new world of AI tooling has slowed us down a little
on the feature side when compared to the fixes side. The extra rounds
of Sashiko review have also pushed a few things out until next time.
Still, there's some good foundational stuff here for the fpsimd code
and hardening work towards removing the predictable linear alias of
the kernel image.
CPU errata handling:
- Extend CnP disabling workaround to HiSilicon HIP09 hardware.
- Work around eternally broken broadcast TLB invalidation on more
CPUs.
- Documentation and code cleanups.
CPU features:
- Add new hwcaps for the 2025 dpISA extensions.
Floating point / SVE / SME:
- Significant cleanup to the low-level state management code in the
core architecture code and KVM.
- Use correct register widths during SVE/SME save/restore assembly.
- Expose SVE/SME save/restore memory accesses to sanitisers.
Memory management:
- Preparatory work for unmapping the kernel data and bss sections
from the linear map.
Miscellaneous:
- Inline DAIF manipulation helpers so they can be used safely from
non-instrumentable code.
- Fix handling of the 'nosmp' cmdline option to avoid marking
secondary cores as "possible".
MPAM:
- Add support for v0.1 of the MPAM architecture.
Perf:
- Update HiSilicon PMU MAINTAINERS entry.
- Fix event encodings for the DVM node in the CMN driver.
Selftests:
- Extend sigframe tests to cover POE context.
- Add coverage for the newly added 2025 dpISA hwcaps.
System registers:
- Add new registers and ESR encodings for the HDBSS feature.
Plus minor fixes and cleanups across the board"

The CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG option currently depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_PROPELLER_CLANG, but this dependency seems unnecessary. Remove ARCH_SUPPORTS_PROPELLER_CLANG and allow users to control Propeller builds solely through CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG. This simplifies the kconfig and avoids potential confusion. Move the .llvm_bb_addr_map sections grouping to include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h. The Propeller documentation has been updated to reflect the most recent tool location and now includes instructions for arm64.

Rename the .pgdir.bss section to .bss..pgtbl so that the compiler will notice the leading ".bss" and mark it as NOBITS by default (rather than PROGBITS, which would take up space in Image binary, forcing all of the preceding BSS to be emitted into the image as well). This supersedes the NOLOAD linker directive, which achieves the same thing, and can be therefore be dropped. Also, rename .pgdir to .pgtbl to be more generic, as page tables of various levels will reside here.

Move the fixmap and kasan page tables out of the BSS section, and place them at the end of the image, right before the init_pg_dir section where some of the other statically allocated page tables live. These page tables are currently the only data objects in vmlinux that are meant to be accessed via the kernel image's linear alias, and so placing them together allows the remainder of the data/bss section to be remapped read-only or unmapped entirely.

KVM/arm64 updates for 7.1 * New features: - Add support for tracing in the standalone EL2 hypervisor code, which should help both debugging and performance analysis. This comes with a full infrastructure for 'remote' trace buffers that can be exposed by non-kernel entities such as firmware. - 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, with anonymous memory being used as a backing store. About time! * Improvements and bug fixes: - 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.
Pull arm64 fix from Will Deacon: - Implement a basic static call trampoline to fix CFI failures with the generic implementation * tag 'arm64-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: arm64: Use static call trampolines when kCFI is enabled
Implement arm64 support for the 'unoptimized' static call variety, which routes all calls through a trampoline that performs a tail call to the chosen function, and wire it up for use when kCFI is enabled. This works around an issue with kCFI and generic static calls, where the prototypes of default handlers such as __static_call_nop() and __static_call_ret0() don't match the expected prototype of the call site, resulting in kCFI false positives [0]. Since static call targets may be located in modules loaded out of direct branching range, this needs an ADRP/LDR pair to load the branch target into R16 and a branch-to-register (BR) instruction to perform an indirect call. Unlike on x86, there is no pressing need on arm64 to avoid indirect calls at all cost, but hiding it from the compiler as is done here does have some benefits: - the literal is located in .rodata, which gives us the same robustness advantage that code patching does; - no D-cache pollution from fetching hash values from .text sections. From an execution speed PoV, this is unlikely to make any difference at all.

Commit 3e86e4d74c04 ("kbuild: keep .modinfo section in
vmlinux.unstripped") added .modinfo to ELF_DETAILS while removing it
from COMMON_DISCARDS, as it was needed in vmlinux.unstripped and
ELF_DETAILS was present in all architecture specific vmlinux linker
scripts. While this shuffle is fine for vmlinux, ELF_DETAILS and
COMMON_DISCARDS may be used by other linker scripts, such as the s390
and x86 compressed boot images, which may not expect to have a .modinfo
section. In certain circumstances, this could result in a bootloader
failing to load the compressed kernel [1].
Commit ddc6cbef3ef1 ("s390/boot/vmlinux.lds.S: Ensure bzImage ends with
SecureBoot trailer") recently addressed this for the s390 bzImage but
the same bug remains for arm, parisc, and x86. The presence of .modinfo
in the x86 bzImage was the root cause of the issue worked around with
commit d50f21091358 ("kbuild: align modinfo section for Secureboot
Authenticode EDK2 compat"). misc.c in arch/x86/boot/compressed includes
lib/decompress_unzstd.c, which in turn includes lib/xxhash.c and its
MODULE_LICENSE / MODULE_DESCRIPTION macros due to the STATIC definition.
Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS into its own macro and handle it in
all vmlinux linker scripts. Discard .modinfo in the places where it was
previously being discarded from being in COMMON_DISCARDS, as it has
never been necessary in those uses.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"As far as x86 goes this pull request "only" includes TDX host support.
Quotes are appropriate because (at 6k lines and 100+ commits) it is
much bigger than the rest, which will come later this week and
consists mostly of bugfixes and selftests. s390 changes will also come
in the second batch.
ARM:
- Add large stage-2 mapping (THP) support for non-protected guests
when pKVM is enabled, clawing back some performance.
- Enable nested virtualisation support on systems that support it,
though it is disabled by default.
- Add UBSAN support to the standalone EL2 object used in nVHE/hVHE
and protected modes.
- Large rework of the way KVM tracks architecture features and links
them with the effects of control bits. While this has no functional
impact, it ensures correctness of emulation (the data is
automatically extracted from the published JSON files), and helps
dealing with the evolution of the architecture.
- Significant changes to the way pKVM tracks ownership of pages,
avoiding page table walks by storing the state in the hypervisor's
vmemmap. This in turn enables the THP support described above.
- New selftest checking the pKVM ownership transition rules
- Fixes for FEAT_MTE_ASYNC being accidentally advertised to guests
even if the host didn't have it.
- Fixes for the address translation emulation, which happened to be
rather buggy in some specific contexts.
- Fixes for the PMU emulation in NV contexts, decoupling PMCR_EL0.N
from the number of counters exposed to a guest and addressing a
number of issues in the process.
- Add a new selftest for the SVE host state being corrupted by a
guest.
- Keep HCR_EL2.xMO set at all times for systems running with the
kernel at EL2, ensuring that the window for interrupts is slightly
bigger, and avoiding a pretty bad erratum on the AmpereOne HW.
- Add workaround for AmpereOne's erratum AC04_CPU_23, which suffers
from a pretty bad case of TLB corruption unless accesses to HCR_EL2
are heavily synchronised.
- Add a per-VM, per-ITS debugfs entry to dump the state of the ITS
tables in a human-friendly fashion.
- and the usual random cleanups.
LoongArch:
- Don't flush tlb if the host supports hardware page table walks.
- Add KVM selftests support.
RISC-V:
- Add vector registers to get-reg-list selftest
- VCPU reset related improvements
- Remove scounteren initialization from VCPU reset
- Support VCPU reset from userspace using set_mpstate() ioctl
x86:
- Initial support for TDX in KVM.
This finally makes it possible to use the TDX module to run
confidential guests on Intel processors. This is quite a large
series, including support for private page tables (managed by the
TDX module and mirrored in KVM for efficiency), forwarding some
TDVMCALLs to userspace, and handling several special VM exits from
the TDX module.
This has been in the works for literally years and it's not really
possible to describe everything here, so I'll defer to the various
merge commits up to and including commit 7bcf7246c42a ('Merge
branch 'kvm-tdx-finish-initial' into HEAD')"
