Pull arm64 fixes from Will Deacon:

 - Fix Kconfig dependencies to re-allow the enabling of function graph
   tracer and shadow call stacks at the same time.

 - Revert the workaround for CPU erratum #2645198 since the CONFIG_
   guards were incorrect and the code has therefore not seen any real
   exposure in -next.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "ARM64:

   - Enable the per-vcpu dirty-ring tracking mechanism, together with an
     option to keep the good old dirty log around for pages that are
     dirtied by something other than a vcpu.

   - Switch to the relaxed parallel fault handling, using RCU to delay
     page table reclaim and giving better performance under load.

   - Relax the MTE ABI, allowing a VMM to use the MAP_SHARED mapping
     option, which multi-process VMMs such as crosvm rely on (see merge
     commit 382b5b87a97d: "Fix a number of issues with MTE, such as
     races on the tags being initialised vs the PG_mte_tagged flag as
     well as the lack of support for VM_SHARED when KVM is involved.
     Patches from Catalin Marinas and Peter Collingbourne").

   - Merge the pKVM shadow vcpu state tracking that allows the
     hypervisor to have its own view of a vcpu, keeping that state
     private.

   - Add support for the PMUv3p5 architecture revision, bringing support
     for 64bit counters on systems that support it, and fix the
     no-quite-compliant CHAIN-ed counter support for the machines that
     actually exist out there.

   - Fix a handful of minor issues around 52bit VA/PA support (64kB
     pages only) as a prefix of the oncoming support for 4kB and 16kB
     pages.

   - Pick a small set of documentation and spelling fixes, because no
     good merge window would be complete without those.

  s390:

   - Second batch of the lazy destroy patches

   - First batch of KVM changes for kernel virtual != physical address
     support

   - Removal of a unused function

  x86:

   - Allow compiling out SMM support

   - Cleanup and documentation of SMM state save area format

   - Preserve interrupt shadow in SMM state save area

   - Respond to generic signals during slow page faults

   - Fixes and optimizations for the non-executable huge page errata
     fix.

   - Reprogram all performance counters on PMU filter change

   - Cleanups to Hyper-V emulation and tests

   - Process Hyper-V TLB flushes from a nested guest (i.e. from a L2
     guest running on top of a L1 Hyper-V hypervisor)

   - Advertise several new Intel features

   - x86 Xen-for-KVM:

      - Allow the Xen runstate information to cross a page boundary

      - Allow XEN_RUNSTATE_UPDATE flag behaviour to be configured

      - Add support for 32-bit guests in SCHEDOP_poll

   - Notable x86 fixes and cleanups:

      - One-off fixes for various emulation flows (SGX, VMXON, NRIPS=0).

      - Reinstate IBPB on emulated VM-Exit that was incorrectly dropped
        a few years back when eliminating unnecessary barriers when
        switching between vmcs01 and vmcs02.

      - Clean up vmread_error_trampoline() to make it more obvious that
        params must be passed on the stack, even for x86-64.

      - Let userspace set all supported bits in MSR_IA32_FEAT_CTL
        irrespective of the current guest CPUID.

      - Fudge around a race with TSC refinement that results in KVM
        incorrectly thinking a guest needs TSC scaling when running on a
        CPU with a constant TSC, but no hardware-enumerated TSC
        frequency.

      - Advertise (on AMD) that the SMM_CTL MSR is not supported

      - Remove unnecessary exports

  Generic:

   - Support for responding to signals during page faults; introduces
     new FOLL_INTERRUPTIBLE flag that was reviewed by mm folks

  Selftests:

   - Fix an inverted check in the access tracking perf test, and restore
     support for asserting that there aren't too many idle pages when
     running on bare metal.

   - Fix build errors that occur in certain setups (unsure exactly what
     is unique about the problematic setup) due to glibc overriding
     static_assert() to a variant that requires a custom message.

   - Introduce actual atomics for clear/set_bit() in selftests

   - Add support for pinning vCPUs in dirty_log_perf_test.

   - Rename the so called "perf_util" framework to "memstress".

   - Add a lightweight psuedo RNG for guest use, and use it to randomize
     the access pattern and write vs. read percentage in the memstress
     tests.

   - Add a common ucall implementation; code dedup and pre-work for
     running SEV (and beyond) guests in selftests.

   - Provide a common constructor and arch hook, which will eventually
     be used by x86 to automatically select the right hypercall (AMD vs.
     Intel).

   - A bunch of added/enabled/fixed selftests for ARM64, covering
     memslots, breakpoints, stage-2 faults and access tracking.

   - x86-specific selftest changes:

      - Clean up x86's page table management.

      - Clean up and enhance the "smaller maxphyaddr" test, and add a
        related test to cover generic emulation failure.

      - Clean up the nEPT support checks.

      - Add X86_PROPERTY_* framework to retrieve multi-bit CPUID values.

      - Fix an ordering issue in the AMX test introduced by recent
        conversions to use kvm_cpu_has(), and harden the code to guard
        against similar bugs in the future. Anything that tiggers
        caching of KVM's supported CPUID, kvm_cpu_has() in this case,
        effectively hides opt-in XSAVE features if the caching occurs
        before the test opts in via prctl().

  Documentation:

   - Remove deleted ioctls from documentation

   - Clean up the docs for the x86 MSR filter.

This reverts commit 44ecda71fd8a70185c270f5914ac563827fe1d4c.

All versions of this patch on the mailing list, including the version
that ended up getting merged, have portions of code guarded by the
non-existent CONFIG_ARM64_WORKAROUND_2645198 option. Although Anshuman
says he tested the code with some additional debug changes [1], I'm
hesitant to fix the CONFIG option and light up a bunch of code right
before I (and others) disappear for the end of year holidays, during
which time we won't be around to deal with any fallout.

So revert the change for now. We can bring back a fixed, tested version
for a later -rc when folks are thinking about things other than trees
and turkeys.

   (Gustavo A. R. Silva, Nathan Chancellor, Kees Cook)

 - Remove the remaining side-effect users of ksize() by converting
   dma-buf, btrfs, and coredump to using kmalloc_size_roundup(), add
   more __alloc_size attributes, and introduce full testing of all
   allocator functions. Finally remove the ksize() side-effect so that
   each allocation-aware checker can finally behave without exceptions

 - Introduce oops_limit (default 10,000) and warn_limit (default off) to
   provide greater granularity of control for panic_on_oops and
   panic_on_warn (Jann Horn, Kees Cook)

 - Introduce overflows_type() and castable_to_type() helpers for cleaner
   overflow checking

 - Improve code generation for strscpy() and update str*() kern-doc

 - Convert strscpy and sigphash tests to KUnit, and expand memcpy tests

 - Always use a non-NULL argument for prepare_kernel_cred()

 - Disable structleak plugin in FORTIFY KUnit test (Anders Roxell)

Pull EFI updates from Ard Biesheuvel:
 "Another fairly sizable pull request, by EFI subsystem standards.

  Most of the work was done by me, some of it in collaboration with the
  distro and bootloader folks (GRUB, systemd-boot), where the main focus
  has been on removing pointless per-arch differences in the way EFI
  boots a Linux kernel.

   - Refactor the zboot code so that it incorporates all the EFI stub
     logic, rather than calling the decompressed kernel as a EFI app.

   - Add support for initrd= command line option to x86 mixed mode.

   - Allow initrd= to be used with arbitrary EFI accessible file systems
     instead of just the one the kernel itself was loaded from.

   - Move some x86-only handling and manipulation of the EFI memory map
     into arch/x86, as it is not used anywhere else.

   - More flexible handling of any random seeds provided by the boot
     environment (i.e., systemd-boot) so that it becomes available much
     earlier during the boot.

   - Allow improved arch-agnostic EFI support in loaders, by setting a
     uniform baseline of supported features, and adding a generic magic
     number to the DOS/PE header. This should allow loaders such as GRUB
     or systemd-boot to reduce the amount of arch-specific handling
     substantially.

   - (arm64) Run EFI runtime services from a dedicated stack, and use it
     to recover from synchronous exceptions that might occur in the
     firmware code.

   - (arm64) Ensure that we don't allocate memory outside of the 48-bit
     addressable physical range.

   - Make EFI pstore record size configurable

   - Add support for decoding CXL specific CPER records"

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:

 - Replace prandom_u32_max() and various open-coded variants of it,
   there is now a new family of functions that uses fast rejection
   sampling to choose properly uniformly random numbers within an
   interval:

       get_random_u32_below(ceil) - [0, ceil)
       get_random_u32_above(floor) - (floor, U32_MAX]
       get_random_u32_inclusive(floor, ceil) - [floor, ceil]

   Coccinelle was used to convert all current users of
   prandom_u32_max(), as well as many open-coded patterns, resulting in
   improvements throughout the tree.

   I'll have a "late" 6.1-rc1 pull for you that removes the now unused
   prandom_u32_max() function, just in case any other trees add a new
   use case of it that needs to converted. According to linux-next,
   there may be two trivial cases of prandom_u32_max() reintroductions
   that are fixable with a 's/.../.../'. So I'll have for you a final
   conversion patch doing that alongside the removal patch during the
   second week.

   This is a treewide change that touches many files throughout.

 - More consistent use of get_random_canary().

 - Updates to comments, documentation, tests, headers, and
   simplification in configuration.

 - The arch_get_random*_early() abstraction was only used by arm64 and
   wasn't entirely useful, so this has been replaced by code that works
   in all relevant contexts.

 - The kernel will use and manage random seeds in non-volatile EFI
   variables, refreshing a variable with a fresh seed when the RNG is
   initialized. The RNG GUID namespace is then hidden from efivarfs to
   prevent accidental leakage.

   These changes are split into random.c infrastructure code used in the
   EFI subsystem, in this pull request, and related support inside of
   EFISTUB, in Ard's EFI tree. These are co-dependent for full
   functionality, but the order of merging doesn't matter.

 - Part of the infrastructure added for the EFI support is also used for
   an improvement to the way vsprintf initializes its siphash key,
   replacing an sleep loop wart.

 - The hardware RNG framework now always calls its correct random.c
   input function, add_hwgenerator_randomness(), rather than sometimes
   going through helpers better suited for other cases.

 - The add_latent_entropy() function has long been called from the fork
   handler, but is a no-op when the latent entropy gcc plugin isn't
   used, which is fine for the purposes of latent entropy.

   But it was missing out on the cycle counter that was also being mixed
   in beside the latent entropy variable. So now, if the latent entropy
   gcc plugin isn't enabled, add_latent_entropy() will expand to a call
   to add_device_randomness(NULL, 0), which adds a cycle counter,
   without the absent latent entropy variable.

 - The RNG is now reseeded from a delayed worker, rather than on demand
   when used. Always running from a worker allows it to make use of the
   CPU RNG on platforms like S390x, whose instructions are too slow to
   do so from interrupts. It also has the effect of adding in new inputs
   more frequently with more regularity, amounting to a long term
   transcript of random values. Plus, it helps a bit with the upcoming
   vDSO implementation (which isn't yet ready for 6.2).

 - The jitter entropy algorithm now tries to execute on many different
   CPUs, round-robining, in hopes of hitting even more memory latencies
   and other unpredictable effects. It also will mix in a cycle counter
   when the entropy timer fires, in addition to being mixed in from the
   main loop, to account more explicitly for fluctuations in that timer
   firing. And the state it touches is now kept within the same cache
   line, so that it's assured that the different execution contexts will
   cause latencies.

Pull perf events updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Thoroughly rewrite the data structures that implement perf task
   context handling, with the goal of fixing various quirks and
   unfeatures both in already merged, and in upcoming proposed code.

   The old data structure is the per task and per cpu
   perf_event_contexts:

         task_struct::perf_events_ctxp[] &lt;-&gt; perf_event_context &lt;-&gt; perf_cpu_context
              ^                                 |    ^     |           ^
              `---------------------------------'    |     `--&gt; pmu ---'
                                                     v           ^
                                                perf_event ------'

   In this new design this is replaced with a single task context and a
   single CPU context, plus intermediate data-structures:

         task_struct::perf_event_ctxp -&gt; perf_event_context &lt;- perf_cpu_context
              ^                           |   ^ ^

Pull perf events updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Thoroughly rewrite the data structures that implement perf task
   context handling, with the goal of fixing various quirks and
   unfeatures both in already merged, and in upcoming proposed code.

   The old data structure is the per task and per cpu
   perf_event_contexts:

         task_struct::perf_events_ctxp[] &lt;-&gt; perf_event_context &lt;-&gt; perf_cpu_context
              ^                                 |    ^     |           ^
              `---------------------------------'    |     `--&gt; pmu ---'
                                                     v           ^
                                                perf_event ------'

   In this new design this is replaced with a single task context and a
   single CPU context, plus intermediate data-structures:

         task_struct::perf_event_ctxp -&gt; perf_event_context &lt;- perf_cpu_context
              ^                           |   ^ ^
              `---------------------------'   | |
                                              | |    perf_cpu_pmu_context &lt;--.

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Updates for timers, timekeeping and drivers:

  Core:

   - The timer_shutdown[_sync]() infrastructure:

     Tearing down timers can be tedious when there are circular
     dependencies to other things which need to be torn down. A prime
     example is timer and workqueue where the timer schedules work and
     the work arms the timer.

     What needs to prevented is that pending work which is drained via
     destroy_workqueue() does not rearm the previously shutdown timer.
     Nothing in that shutdown sequence relies on the timer being
     functional.

     The conclusion was that the semantics of timer_shutdown_sync()
     should be:
	- timer is not enqueued
    	- timer callback is not running
    	- timer cannot be rearmed

     Preventing the rearming of shutdown timers is done by discarding
     rearm attempts silently.

     A warning for the case that a rearm attempt of a shutdown timer is
     detected would not be really helpful because it's entirely unclear
     how it should be acted upon. The only way to address such a case is
     to add 'if (in_shutdown)' conditionals all over the place. This is
     error prone and in most cases of teardown not required all.

   - The real fix for the bluetooth HCI teardown based on
     timer_shutdown_sync().

     A larger scale conversion to timer_shutdown_sync() is work in
     progress.

   - Consolidation of VDSO time namespace helper functions

   - Small fixes for timer and timerqueue

  Drivers:

   - Prevent integer overflow on the XGene-1 TVAL register which causes
     an never ending interrupt storm.

   - The usual set of new device tree bindings

   - Small fixes and improvements all over the place"

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Updates for timers, timekeeping and drivers:

  Core:

   - The timer_shutdown[_sync]() infrastructure:

     Tearing down timers can be tedious when there are circular
     dependencies to other things which need to be torn down. A prime
     example is timer and workqueue where the timer schedules work and
     the work arms the timer.

     What needs to prevented is that pending work which is drained via
     destroy_workqueue() does not rearm the previously shutdown timer.
     Nothing in that shutdown sequence relies on the timer being
     functional.

     The conclusion was that the semantics of timer_shutdown_sync()
     should be:
	- timer is not enqueued
    	- timer callback is not running
    	- timer cannot be rearmed

     Preventing the rearming of shutdown timers is done by discarding
     rearm attempts silently.

     A warning for the case that a rearm attempt of a shutdown timer is
     detected would not be really helpful because it's entirely unclear
     how it should be acted upon. The only way to address such a case is
     to add 'if (in_shutdown)' conditionals all over the place. This is
     error prone and in most cases of teardown not required all.

   - The real fix for the bluetooth HCI teardown based on
     timer_shutdown_sync().

     A larger scale conversion to timer_shutdown_sync() is work in
     progress.

   - Consolidation of VDSO time namespace helper functions

   - Small fixes for timer and timerqueue

  Drivers:

   - Prevent integer overflow on the XGene-1 TVAL register which causes
     an never ending interrupt storm.

   - The usual set of new device tree bindings

   - Small fixes and improvements all over the place"
