On arm64, it has been possible for a module's sections to be placed more
than 128M away from each other since commit:
commit 3e35d303ab7d ("arm64: module: rework module VA range selection")
Due to this, an ftrace callsite in a module's .init.text section can be
out of branch range for the module's ftrace PLT entry (in the module's
.text section). Any attempt to enable tracing of that callsite will
result in a BRK being patched into the callsite, resulting in a fatal
exception when the callsite is later executed.
Fix this by adding an additional trampoline for .init.text, which will
be within range.
No additional trampolines are necessary due to the way a given
module's executable sections are packed together. Any executable
section beginning with ".init" will be placed in MOD_INIT_TEXT,
and any other executable section, including those beginning with ".exit",
will be placed in MOD_TEXT.

Patch series "kexec: Fix invalid field access".
The kexec_buf structure was previously declared without initialization.
commit bf454ec31add ("kexec_file: allow to place kexec_buf randomly")
added a field that is always read but not consistently populated by all
architectures. This un-initialized field will contain garbage.
This is also triggering a UBSAN warning when the uninitialized data was
accessed:
------------[ cut here ]------------
UBSAN: invalid-load in ./include/linux/kexec.h:210:10
load of value 252 is not a valid value for type '_Bool'
Zero-initializing kexec_buf at declaration ensures all fields are cleanly
set, preventing future instances of uninitialized memory being used.
An initial fix was already landed for arm64[0], and this patchset fixes
the problem on the remaining arm64 code and on riscv, as raised by Mark.
Discussions about this problem could be found at[1][2].

Pull arm64 fixes from Catalin Marinas: - CFI failure due to kpti_ng_pgd_alloc() signature mismatch - Underallocation bug in the SVE ptrace kselftest * tag 'arm64-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: kselftest/arm64: Don't open code SVE_PT_SIZE() in fp-ptrace arm64: mm: Fix CFI failure due to kpti_ng_pgd_alloc function signature
Seen during KPTI initialization:
CFI failure at create_kpti_ng_temp_pgd+0x124/0xce8 (target: kpti_ng_pgd_alloc+0x0/0x14; expected type: 0xd61b88b6)
The call site is alloc_init_pud() at arch/arm64/mm/mmu.c:
pud_phys = pgtable_alloc(TABLE_PUD);
alloc_init_pud() has the prototype:
static void alloc_init_pud(p4d_t *p4dp, unsigned long addr, unsigned long end,
phys_addr_t phys, pgprot_t prot,
phys_addr_t (*pgtable_alloc)(enum pgtable_type),
int flags)
where the pgtable_alloc() prototype is declared.
The target (kpti_ng_pgd_alloc) is used in arch/arm64/kernel/cpufeature.c:
create_kpti_ng_temp_pgd(kpti_ng_temp_pgd, __pa(alloc), KPTI_NG_TEMP_VA,
PAGE_SIZE, PAGE_KERNEL, kpti_ng_pgd_alloc, 0);
which is an alias for __create_pgd_mapping_locked() with prototype:
extern __alias(__create_pgd_mapping_locked)
void create_kpti_ng_temp_pgd(pgd_t *pgdir, phys_addr_t phys,
unsigned long virt,
phys_addr_t size, pgprot_t prot,
phys_addr_t (*pgtable_alloc)(enum pgtable_type),
int flags);
__create_pgd_mapping_locked() passes the function pointer down:
__create_pgd_mapping_locked() -> alloc_init_p4d() -> alloc_init_pud()
But the target function (kpti_ng_pgd_alloc) has the wrong signature:
static phys_addr_t __init kpti_ng_pgd_alloc(int shift);
The "int" should be "enum pgtable_type".
To make "enum pgtable_type" available to cpufeature.c, move
enum pgtable_type definition from arch/arm64/mm/mmu.c to
arch/arm64/include/asm/mmu.h.
Adjust kpti_ng_pgd_alloc to use "enum pgtable_type" instead of "int".
The function behavior remains identical (parameter is unused).

KVM/arm64 changes for 6.17, take #2 - Correctly handle 'invariant' system registers for protected VMs - Improved handling of VNCR data aborts, including external aborts - Fixes for handling of FEAT_RAS for NV guests, providing a sane fault context during SEA injection and preventing the use of RASv1p1 fault injection hardware - Ensure that page table destruction when a VM is destroyed gives an opportunity to reschedule - Large fix to KVM's infrastructure for managing guest context loaded on the CPU, addressing issues where the output of AT emulation doesn't get reflected to the guest - Fix AT S12 emulation to actually perform stage-2 translation when necessary - Avoid attempting vLPI irqbypass when GICv4 has been explicitly disabled for a VM - Minor KVM + selftest fixes
Detecting FEAT_RASv1p1 is rather complicated, as there are two ways for the architecture to advertise the same thing (always a delight...). Add a capability that will advertise this in a synthetic way to the rest of the kernel.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM:
- Host driver for GICv5, the next generation interrupt controller for
arm64, including support for interrupt routing, MSIs, interrupt
translation and wired interrupts
- Use FEAT_GCIE_LEGACY on GICv5 systems to virtualize GICv3 VMs on
GICv5 hardware, leveraging the legacy VGIC interface
- Userspace control of the 'nASSGIcap' GICv3 feature, allowing
userspace to disable support for SGIs w/o an active state on
hardware that previously advertised it unconditionally
- Map supporting endpoints with cacheable memory attributes on
systems with FEAT_S2FWB and DIC where KVM no longer needs to
perform cache maintenance on the address range
- Nested support for FEAT_RAS and FEAT_DoubleFault2, allowing the
guest hypervisor to inject external aborts into an L2 VM and take
traps of masked external aborts to the hypervisor
- Convert more system register sanitization to the config-driven
implementation
- Fixes to the visibility of EL2 registers, namely making VGICv3
system registers accessible through the VGIC device instead of the
ONE_REG vCPU ioctls
- Various cleanups and minor fixes
LoongArch:
- Add stat information for in-kernel irqchip
- Add tracepoints for CPUCFG and CSR emulation exits
- Enhance in-kernel irqchip emulation
- Various cleanups
RISC-V:
- Enable ring-based dirty memory tracking
- Improve perf kvm stat to report interrupt events
- Delegate illegal instruction trap to VS-mode
- MMU improvements related to upcoming nested virtualization
s390x
- Fixes
x86:
- Add CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC for x86 to allow disabling support for I/O
APIC, PIC, and PIT emulation at compile time
- Share device posted IRQ code between SVM and VMX and harden it
against bugs and runtime errors
- Use vcpu_idx, not vcpu_id, for GA log tag/metadata, to make lookups
O(1) instead of O(n)
- For MMIO stale data mitigation, track whether or not a vCPU has
access to (host) MMIO based on whether the page tables have MMIO
pfns mapped; using VFIO is prone to false negatives
- Rework the MSR interception code so that the SVM and VMX APIs are
more or less identical
- Recalculate all MSR intercepts from scratch on MSR filter changes,
instead of maintaining shadow bitmaps
- Advertise support for LKGS (Load Kernel GS base), a new instruction
that's loosely related to FRED, but is supported and enumerated
independently
- Fix a user-triggerable WARN that syzkaller found by setting the
vCPU in INIT_RECEIVED state (aka wait-for-SIPI), and then putting
the vCPU into VMX Root Mode (post-VMXON). Trying to detect every
possible path leading to architecturally forbidden states is hard
and even risks breaking userspace (if it goes from valid to valid
state but passes through invalid states), so just wait until
KVM_RUN to detect that the vCPU state isn't allowed
- Add KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_APERFMPERF to allow disabling
interception of APERF/MPERF reads, so that a "properly" configured
VM can access APERF/MPERF. This has many caveats (APERF/MPERF
cannot be zeroed on vCPU creation or saved/restored on suspend and
resume, or preserved over thread migration let alone VM migration)
but can be useful whenever you're interested in letting Linux
guests see the effective physical CPU frequency in /proc/cpuinfo
- Reject KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ for vm file descriptors if vCPUs have been
created, as there's no known use case for changing the default
frequency for other VM types and it goes counter to the very reason
why the ioctl was added to the vm file descriptor. And also, there
would be no way to make it work for confidential VMs with a
"secure" TSC, so kill two birds with one stone
- Dynamically allocation the shadow MMU's hashed page list, and defer
allocating the hashed list until it's actually needed (the TDP MMU
doesn't use the list)
- Extract many of KVM's helpers for accessing architectural local
APIC state to common x86 so that they can be shared by guest-side
code for Secure AVIC
- Various cleanups and fixes
x86 (Intel):
- Preserve the host's DEBUGCTL.FREEZE_IN_SMM when running the guest.
Failure to honor FREEZE_IN_SMM can leak host state into guests
- Explicitly check vmcs12.GUEST_DEBUGCTL on nested VM-Enter to
prevent L1 from running L2 with features that KVM doesn't support,
e.g. BTF
x86 (AMD):
- WARN and reject loading kvm-amd.ko instead of panicking the kernel
if the nested SVM MSRPM offsets tracker can't handle an MSR (which
is pretty much a static condition and therefore should never
happen, but still)
- Fix a variety of flaws and bugs in the AVIC device posted IRQ code
- Inhibit AVIC if a vCPU's ID is too big (relative to what hardware
supports) instead of rejecting vCPU creation
- Extend enable_ipiv module param support to SVM, by simply leaving
IsRunning clear in the vCPU's physical ID table entry
- Disable IPI virtualization, via enable_ipiv, if the CPU is affected
by erratum #1235, to allow (safely) enabling AVIC on such CPUs
- Request GA Log interrupts if and only if the target vCPU is
blocking, i.e. only if KVM needs a notification in order to wake
the vCPU
- Intercept SPEC_CTRL on AMD if the MSR shouldn't exist according to
the vCPU's CPUID model
- Accept any SNP policy that is accepted by the firmware with respect
to SMT and single-socket restrictions. An incompatible policy
doesn't put the kernel at risk in any way, so there's no reason for
KVM to care
- Drop a superfluous WBINVD (on all CPUs!) when destroying a VM and
use WBNOINVD instead of WBINVD when possible for SEV cache
maintenance
- When reclaiming memory from an SEV guest, only do cache flushes on
CPUs that have ever run a vCPU for the guest, i.e. don't flush the
caches for CPUs that can't possibly have cache lines with dirty,
encrypted data
Generic:
- Rework irqbypass to track/match producers and consumers via an
xarray instead of a linked list. Using a linked list leads to
O(n^2) insertion times, which is hugely problematic for use cases
that create large numbers of VMs. Such use cases typically don't
actually use irqbypass, but eliminating the pointless registration
is a future problem to solve as it likely requires new uAPI
- Track irqbypass's "token" as "struct eventfd_ctx *" instead of a
"void *", to avoid making a simple concept unnecessarily difficult
to understand
- Decouple device posted IRQs from VFIO device assignment, as binding
a VM to a VFIO group is not a requirement for enabling device
posted IRQs
- Clean up and document/comment the irqfd assignment code
- Disallow binding multiple irqfds to an eventfd with a priority
waiter, i.e. ensure an eventfd is bound to at most one irqfd
through the entire host, and add a selftest to verify eventfd:irqfd
bindings are globally unique
- Add a tracepoint for KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES to help debug issues
related to private <=> shared memory conversions
- Drop guest_memfd's .getattr() implementation as the VFS layer will
call generic_fillattr() if inode_operations.getattr is NULL
- Fix issues with dirty ring harvesting where KVM doesn't bound the
processing of entries in any way, which allows userspace to keep
KVM in a tight loop indefinitely
- Kill off kvm_arch_{start,end}_assignment() and x86's associated
tracking, now that KVM no longer uses assigned_device_count as a
heuristic for either irqbypass usage or MDS mitigation
Selftests:
- Fix a comment typo
- Verify KVM is loaded when getting any KVM module param so that
attempting to run a selftest without kvm.ko loaded results in a
SKIP message about KVM not being loaded/enabled (versus some random
parameter not existing)
- Skip tests that hit EACCES when attempting to access a file, and
print a "Root required?" help message. In most cases, the test just
needs to be run with elevated permissions"

"A quick summary: perf support for Branch Record Buffer Extensions
(BRBE), typical PMU hardware updates, small additions to MTE for
store-only tag checking and exposing non-address bits to signal
handlers, HAVE_LIVEPATCH enabled on arm64, VMAP_STACK forced on.
There is also a TLBI optimisation on hardware that does not require
break-before-make when changing the user PTEs between contiguous and
non-contiguous.
More details:
Perf and PMU updates:
- Add support for new (v3) Hisilicon SLLC and DDRC PMUs
- Add support for Arm-NI PMU integrations that share interrupts
between clock domains within a given instance

minimum recommendation advertised by PMSIDR_EL1.Interval
- Add suppport for Arm's "Branch Record Buffer Extension" (BRBE)
- Adjust the perf watchdog period according to cpu frequency changes
- Minor driver fixes and cleanups
Hardware features:
- Support for MTE store-only checking (FEAT_MTE_STORE_ONLY)
- Support for reporting the non-address bits during a synchronous MTE
tag check fault (FEAT_MTE_TAGGED_FAR)
- Optimise the TLBI when folding/unfolding contiguous PTEs on
hardware with FEAT_BBM (break-before-make) level 2 and no TLB
conflict aborts
Software features:
- Enable HAVE_LIVEPATCH after implementing arch_stack_walk_reliable()
and using the text-poke API for late module relocations
- Force VMAP_STACK always on and change arm64_efi_rt_init() to use
arch_alloc_vmap_stack() in order to avoid KASAN false positives
ACPI:
- Improve SPCR handling and messaging on systems lacking an SPCR
table
Debug:
- Simplify the debug exception entry path
- Drop redundant DBG_MDSCR_* macros
Kselftests:
- Cleanups and improvements for SME, SVE and FPSIMD tests
