<content type='text'>
The unaligned access emulation code in Linux has various deficiencies.
For example, it doesn't emulate vector instructions [1] [2], and doesn't
emulate KVM guest accesses. Therefore, requesting misaligned exception
delegation with SBI FWFT actually regresses vector instructions' and KVM
guests' behavior.

Until Linux can handle it properly, guard these sbi_fwft_set() calls
behind RISCV_SBI_FWFT_DELEGATE_MISALIGNED, which in turn depends on
NONPORTABLE. Those who are sure that this wouldn't be a problem can
enable this option, perhaps getting better performance.

The rest of the existing code proceeds as before, except as if
SBI_FWFT_MISALIGNED_EXC_DELEG is not available, to handle any remaining
address misaligned exceptions on a best-effort basis. The KVM SBI FWFT
implementation is also not touched, but it is disabled if the firmware
emulates unaligned accesses.

<title>riscv: cfi: reduce shadow stack size limit from 4GB to 2GB</title>

<id>6c7674b5b7ae513cecae22aa9dcdcf533862cf5c</id>
<content type='text'>
Follow the ARM64 GCS (Guarded Control Stack) implementation approach
by reducing the shadow stack size allocation from min(RLIMIT_STACK, 4GB)
to min(RLIMIT_STACK/2, 2GB). See commit 506496bcbb42 ("arm64/gcs: Ensure
that new threads have a GCS")

Rationale:

1. Shadow stacks only store return addresses (8 bytes per entry), not
   local variables, function parameters, or saved registers. A 2GB
   shadow stack is far more than sufficient for any practical
   application, even with extremely deep recursion. Using half the size
   maintains adequate margin while being more resource-efficient.

2. On memory-constrained systems (e.g., platforms with only 4GB of
   physical memory, which is a common configuration), allocating 4GB
   of virtual address space for shadow stack per process/thread can
   lead to virtual memory allocation failures when the overcommit mode
   is set to OVERCOMMIT_GUESS or OVERCOMMIT_NEVER:
   Error: "__vm_enough_memory: not enough memory for the allocation"

This reduces virtual address space consumption by 50% while maintaining
more than adequate space for return address storage.

We have pre-defined ISA extension macros, here use those macros to
replace a magic number for isa2hwcap definition and some array
indexing for isa2hwcap access.

This doesn't change the original functionality, just improve the code
maintainability and readability.

<title>riscv: Fix register corruption from uninitialized cregs on error</title>

compat_riscv_gpr_set() calls cregs_to_regs() unconditionally, even when
user_regset_copyin() fails. Since cregs is an uninitialized stack
variable, a copyin failure causes uninitialized stack data to be written
into the target task's pt_regs, corrupting its register state and
potentially leaking kernel stack contents.

compat_restore_sigcontext() has the same issue: it calls cregs_to_regs()
even when __copy_from_user() fails, leading to the same corruption of
the signal-returning task's register state on error.

Only call cregs_to_regs() when the user copy succeeds.

<title>riscv: Define __riscv_copy_{,vec_}{words,bytes}_unaligned() using SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START</title>

After commit 67bdd7b01387 ("riscv: Split out measure_cycles() for
reuse") and commit c03ad15f7cf6 ("riscv: Reuse measure_cycles() in
check_vector_unaligned_access()"), there are CFI failure when booting
kernels with CONFIG_CFI=y:

  CFI failure at measure_cycles+0x38/0xe0 (target: __riscv_copy_words_unaligned+0x0/0x50; expected type: ...)
  CFI failure at measure_cycles+0x38/0xe0 (target: __riscv_copy_vec_words_unaligned+0x0/0x24; expected type: ...)

The __riscv_copy_*_unaligned() functions are now called indirectly but
they are not defined with SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START, which is required for
assembly functions called indirectly from C to pass CFI checking. Switch
to SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START to clear up the CFI failures.

Pull RISC-V updates from Paul Walmsley:
 "There is one significant change outside arch/riscv in this pull
  request: the addition of a set of KUnit tests for strlen(), strnlen(),
  and strrchr().

  Otherwise, the most notable changes are to add some RISC-V-specific
  string function implementations, to remove XIP kernel support, to add
  hardware error exception handling, and to optimize our runtime
  unaligned access speed testing.

  A few comments on the motivation for removing XIP support. It's been
  broken in the RISC-V kernel for months. The code is not easy to
  maintain. Furthermore, for XIP support to truly be useful for RISC-V,
  we think that compile-time feature switches would need to be added for
  many of the RISC-V ISA features and microarchitectural properties that
  are currently implemented with runtime patching. No one has stepped
  forward to take responsibility for that work, so many of us think it's
  best to remove it until clear use cases and champions emerge.

  Summary:

   - Add Kunit correctness testing and microbenchmarks for strlen(),
     strnlen(), and strrchr()

   - Add RISC-V-specific strnlen(), strchr(), strrchr() implementations

   - Add hardware error exception handling

   - Clean up and optimize our unaligned access probe code

   - Enable HAVE_IOREMAP_PROT to be able to use generic_access_phys()

   - Remove XIP kernel support

   - Warn when addresses outside the vmemmap range are passed to
     vmemmap_populate()

   - Update the ACPI FADT revision check to warn if it's not at least
     ACPI v6.6, which is when key RISC-V-specific tables were added to
     the specification

   - Increase COMMAND_LINE_SIZE to 2048 to match ARM64, x86, PowerPC,
     etc.

   - Make kaslr_offset() a static inline function, since there's no need
     for it to show up in the symbol table

   - Add KASLR offset and SATP to the VMCOREINFO ELF notes to improve
     kdump support

   - Add Makefile cleanup rule for vdso_cfi copied source files, and add
     a .gitignore for the build artifacts in that directory

   - Remove some redundant ifdefs that check Kconfig macros

   - Add missing SPDX license tag to the CFI selftest

   - Simplify UTS_MACHINE assignment in the RISC-V Makefile

   - Clarify some unclear comments and remove some superfluous comments

   - Fix various English typos across the RISC-V codebase"

Pull ACPI support updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These include an update of the CMOS RTC driver and the related ACPI
  and x86 code that, among other things, switches it over to using the
  platform device interface for device binding on x86 instead of the PNP
  device driver interface (which allows the code in question to be
  simplified quite a bit), a major update of the ACPI Time and Alarm
  Device (TAD) driver adding an RTC class device interface to it, and
  updates of core ACPI drivers that remove some unnecessary and not
  really useful code from them.

  Apart from that, two drivers are converted to using the platform
  driver interface for device binding instead of the ACPI driver one,
  which is slated for removal, support for the Performance Limited
  register is added to the ACPI CPPC library and there are some
  janitorial updates of it and the related cpufreq CPPC driver, the ACPI
  processor driver is fixed and cleaned up, and NVIDIA vendor CPER
  record handler is added to the APEI GHES code.

  Also, the interface for obtaining a CPU UID from ACPI is consolidated
  across architectures and used for fixing a problem with the PCI TPH
  Steering Tag on ARM64, there are two updates related to ACPICA, a
  minor ACPI OS Services Layer (OSL) update, and a few assorted updates
  related to ACPI tables parsing.

  Specifics:

   - Update maintainers information regarding ACPICA (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Replace strncpy() with strscpy_pad() in acpi_ut_safe_strncpy()
     (Kees Cook)

   - Trigger an ordered system power off after encountering a fatal
     error operator in AML (Armin Wolf)

   - Enable ACPI FPDT parsing on LoongArch (Xi Ruoyao)

   - Remove the temporary stop-gap acpi_pptt_cache_v1_full structure
     from the ACPI PPTT parser (Ben Horgan)

   - Add support for exposing ACPI FPDT subtables FBPT and S3PT (Nate
     DeSimone)

   - Address multiple assorted issues and clean up the code in the ACPI
     processor idle driver (Huisong Li)

   - Replace strlcat() in the ACPI processor idle drive with a better
     alternative (Andy Shevchenko)

   - Rearrange and clean up acpi_processor_errata_piix4() (Rafael
     Wysocki)

   - Move reference performance to capabilities and fix an uninitialized
     variable in the ACPI CPPC library (Pengjie Zhang)

   - Add support for the Performance Limited Register to the ACPI CPPC
     library (Sumit Gupta)

   - Add cppc_get_perf() API to read performance controls, extend
     cppc_set_epp_perf() for FFH/SystemMemory, and make the ACPI CPPC
     library warn on missing mandatory DESIRED_PERF register (Sumit
     Gupta)

   - Modify the cpufreq CPPC driver to update MIN_PERF/MAX_PERF in
     target callbacks to allow it to control performance bounds via
     standard scaling_min_freq and scaling_max_freq sysfs attributes and
     add sysfs documentation for the Performance Limited Register to it
     (Sumit Gupta)

   - Add ACPI support to the platform device interface in the CMOS RTC
     driver, make the ACPI core device enumeration code create a
     platform device for the CMOS RTC, and drop CMOS RTC PNP device
     support (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Consolidate the x86-specific CMOS RTC handling with the ACPI TAD
     driver and clean up the CMOS RTC ACPI address space handler (Rafael
     Wysocki)

   - Enable ACPI alarm in the CMOS RTC driver if advertised in ACPI FADT
     and allow that driver to work without a dedicated IRQ if the ACPI
     alarm is used (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Clean up the ACPI TAD driver in various ways and add an RTC class
     device interface, including both the RTC setting/reading and alarm
     timer support, to it (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Clean up the ACPI AC and ACPI PAD (processor aggregator device)
     drivers (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Rework checking for duplicate video bus devices and consolidate
     pnp.bus_id workarounds handling in the ACPI video bus driver
     (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Update the ACPI core device drivers to stop setting
     acpi_device_name() unnecessarily (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Rearrange code using acpi_device_class() in the ACPI core device
     drivers and update them to stop setting acpi_device_class()
     unnecessarily (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Define ACPI_AC_CLASS in one place (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Convert the ni903x_wdt watchdog driver and the xen ACPI PAD driver
     to bind to platform devices instead of ACPI devices (Rafael
     Wysocki)

   - Add devm_ghes_register_vendor_record_notifier(), use it in the PCI
     hisi driver, and Add NVIDIA vendor CPER record handler (Kai-Heng
     Feng)

   - Consolidate the interface for obtaining a CPU UID from ACPI across
     architectures and use it to address incorrect PCI TPH Steering Tag
     on ARM64 resulting from the invalid assumption that the ACPI
     Processor UID would always be the same as the corresponding logical
     CPU ID in Linux (Chengwen Feng)"

  Steering Tag on ARM64, there are two updates related to ACPICA, a
  minor ACPI OS Services Layer (OSL) update, and a few assorted updates
  related to ACPI tables parsing.

  Specifics:

   - Update maintainers information regarding ACPICA (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Replace strncpy() with strscpy_pad() in acpi_ut_safe_strncpy()
     (Kees Cook)

   - Trigger an ordered system power off after encountering a fatal
     error operator in AML (Armin Wolf)

   - Enable ACPI FPDT parsing on LoongArch (Xi Ruoyao)

   - Remove the temporary stop-gap acpi_pptt_cache_v1_full structure
     from the ACPI PPTT parser (Ben Horgan)

   - Add support for exposing ACPI FPDT subtables FBPT and S3PT (Nate
     DeSimone)

   - Address multiple assorted issues and clean up the code in the ACPI
     processor idle driver (Huisong Li)

   - Replace strlcat() in the ACPI processor idle drive with a better
     alternative (Andy Shevchenko)

   - Rearrange and clean up acpi_processor_errata_piix4() (Rafael
     Wysocki)

   - Move reference performance to capabilities and fix an uninitialized
     variable in the ACPI CPPC library (Pengjie Zhang)

   - Add support for the Performance Limited Register to the ACPI CPPC
     library (Sumit Gupta)

   - Add cppc_get_perf() API to read performance controls, extend
     cppc_set_epp_perf() for FFH/SystemMemory, and make the ACPI CPPC
     library warn on missing mandatory DESIRED_PERF register (Sumit
     Gupta)

   - Modify the cpufreq CPPC driver to update MIN_PERF/MAX_PERF in
     target callbacks to allow it to control performance bounds via
     standard scaling_min_freq and scaling_max_freq sysfs attributes and
     add sysfs documentation for the Performance Limited Register to it
     (Sumit Gupta)

   - Add ACPI support to the platform device interface in the CMOS RTC
     driver, make the ACPI core device enumeration code create a
     platform device for the CMOS RTC, and drop CMOS RTC PNP device
     support (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Consolidate the x86-specific CMOS RTC handling with the ACPI TAD
     driver and clean up the CMOS RTC ACPI address space handler (Rafael
     Wysocki)

   - Enable ACPI alarm in the CMOS RTC driver if advertised in ACPI FADT
     and allow that driver to work without a dedicated IRQ if the ACPI
     alarm is used (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Clean up the ACPI TAD driver in various ways and add an RTC class
     device interface, including both the RTC setting/reading and alarm
     timer support, to it (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Clean up the ACPI AC and ACPI PAD (processor aggregator device)
     drivers (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Rework checking for duplicate video bus devices and consolidate
     pnp.bus_id workarounds handling in the ACPI video bus driver
     (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Update the ACPI core device drivers to stop setting
     acpi_device_name() unnecessarily (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Rearrange code using acpi_device_class() in the ACPI core device
     drivers and update them to stop setting acpi_device_class()
     unnecessarily (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Define ACPI_AC_CLASS in one place (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Convert the ni903x_wdt watchdog driver and the xen ACPI PAD driver
     to bind to platform devices instead of ACPI devices (Rafael
     Wysocki)

   - Add devm_ghes_register_vendor_record_notifier(), use it in the PCI
     hisi driver, and Add NVIDIA vendor CPER record handler (Kai-Heng
     Feng)

   - Consolidate the interface for obtaining a CPU UID from ACPI across
     architectures and use it to address incorrect PCI TPH Steering Tag
     on ARM64 resulting from the invalid assumption that the ACPI
     Processor UID would always be the same as the corresponding logical
     CPU ID in Linux (Chengwen Feng)"
