<id>540f4a4f6ef806a28e794001bb4beac4840a6090</id>
<content type='text'>
Start the numbering scheme for higher-level topology structures (like
socket, book, drawer) at zero, matching the convention for other hardware
identifiers like e.g. CPU numbers.

Hardware documentation, the Hardware Management Console and other tools
like zmemtopo also use zero-based numbering for these containing entities.
Aligning the numbering in sysfs, procfs, and tools like lscpu improves
user experience by making it easier to correlate topology information
across different interfaces.

If available, Linux on s390 derives this physical topology information from
the stsi function code 15 store_topology instruction, which is defined to
start at 1 for the lowest numbered container id. Subtract one, so
drawer_id, book_id and socket_id in cpu_topology[] start with 0 for the
lowest numbered entity; and /proc/cpuinfo and tools like 'lscpu -ye'
display the expected values.

Display only, no functional change intended.

Example: In a partition with 3 cores in a system with
8 cores per socket; 2 sockets per book; 4 books per dawer; and 4 drawers:
Before this fix:

For KVM guests, qemu emulates the stsi FC15 store_topology instruction.
This emulation currently erroneously starts id numbering at 0. A qemu fix
is proposed that makes this emulation compliant to the stsi architecture.
In case a guest with this patch is running on a qemu without the other fix,
it can happen that ids of 255 are displayed erroneously.

z/VM currently does not provide or emulate physical topology information to
its guests. So this patch does not change anything for z/VM guests.

<title>s390/pai: Fix missing PAI counter increments under heavy load</title>

<id>99269799bf2448aebccee164df56c22a7b85b02c</id>
<content type='text'>
Machines with a larger number of CPUs and under heavy load sometimes
loose PAI counter increments during recording using events
-e CRYPTO_ÂLL or -e NNPA_ALL. Counting is not affected.
This happens when several PAI crypto counters are incremented during
the same cryptographic operation.

During schedule out the functions

paiXXX_sched_task() (with XXX either crypt or ext)
+--&gt; pai_have_samples()
   +--&gt; pai_have_sample()
	+--&gt; pai_copy()
	+--&gt; pai_push_sample()

are called to read out PAI counter values.
In pai_copy() the current values of PAI counters are read from the
PMU memory mapped page and compared to the values read during last
schedule out operation, which have been saved in a backup page
named PAI_SAVE_AREA(event). For each PAI counter a delta is calculated
and when the delta is positive, that PAI counter was incremented by
hardware. This positve delta is reported as raw data record attached
to a sample.
After all deltas have been calculated, the new PAI counter values
are saved in the backup page PAI_SAVE_AREA(event). However this is
done in pai_push_sample(), leaving a small window for missing hardware
triggered updates. Here is one scenario:

  PAI counter idx:   0   1   2   3   4   5   6   7  ....  N
                   +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+    +---+
  PAI counter page:|   |   | X |   |   |   |   |   |....| Y |
                   +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+    +---+

In pai_copy() each PAI counter value is read and compared
to its old value. This is done in a loop. When PAI counter indexed
N is read, the hardware might increment PAI counter indexed 2 again,
updating its value from X to X+1.
Later pai_push_sample() simply mem-copies the complete PAI counter
page to a backup page and the increment of X+1 is lost, because the
backup page now contains the new value.

Read each PAI counter and save this value in the backup page when
there is a positive delta. This omits any time window between read
and store. This also reduced the work load as only modified PAI
counters are saved.

<title>s390/pai: Disable duplicate read of kernel PAI counter value</title>

<id>3fe7ecab1a0856aafe1026a35af1621a5c18d53f</id>
<content type='text'>
The PAI crypto counter design allows for user space and kernel space
PAI counter increment recording. This is achieved by splitting the
recording page in half. The upper part of the 4KB page records user
space increments of PAI crypto counter and the lower half records
kernel space increments. The page itself looks like:

 lowcore ptr ---&gt; ++++++++++++++++++++++++
                  |user space area       |
                  +----------------------+
                  |kernel space area     |
                  ++++++++++++++++++++++++

User space and kernel space entries are handled via a kernel_offset
value when wrting. For PAI crypto counters this offset is 2048 or
half of a page size.

For PAI NNPA counter design this distinction was not needed. There is
no user and kernel space part for the page pointed to by lowcore.
The set up is:

 lowcore ptr ---&gt; ++++++++++++++++++++++++
                  |user + kernel space   |
                  |area                  |
                  |                      |
                  ++++++++++++++++++++++++

There is always only one counter value recorded and saved.

Depending on number of CPUs and machine load, the number of PAI NNPA
counter increment differs between counting (perf stat) and recording
(perf record). The number reported by sampling was double the number
shown by counting.

This was caused by a double read of the PAI NNPA values in function
pai_copy(). The first part of that function reads the kernel space part.
The offset into the kernel page part must be larger than zero.
The second part of that function reads the user space part, which
begins of offset zero. This works fine for PAI crypto counters.

It fails for PAI NNPA counters because the PMU device driver does
not support that feature and has a kernel_offset value of 0x0.
Executing both user and kernel space read out might end up reading
user space value twice.
For the PAI NNPA PMU prohibit the kernel space part read out.

debug_input_flush_fn() always copies one byte from the userspace buffer
with copy_from_user() regardless of the supplied write length. A
zero-length write therefore reads one byte beyond the caller's buffer.
If the stale byte happens to be '-' or a digit the debug log is
silently flushed. With an unmapped buffer the call returns -EFAULT.

Reject zero-length writes before copying from userspace.

debug_get_user_string() duplicates the userspace buffer with
memdup_user_nul() and then unconditionally looks at buffer[user_len - 1]
to strip a trailing newline.

A zero-length write reaches this helper unchanged, so the newline trim
reads before the start of the allocated buffer.

Reject empty writes before accessing the last input byte.

debug_get_user_string() duplicates the userspace buffer with
memdup_user_nul() and then unconditionally looks at buffer[user_len - 1]
to strip a trailing newline.

A zero-length write reaches this helper unchanged, so the newline trim
reads before the start of the allocated buffer.

Reject empty writes before accessing the last input byte.

Pull integrity updates from Mimi Zohar:
 "There are two main changes, one feature removal, some code cleanup,
  and a number of bug fixes.

  Main changes:
   - Detecting secure boot mode was limited to IMA. Make detecting
     secure boot mode accessible to EVM and other LSMs
   - IMA sigv3 support was limited to fsverity. Add IMA sigv3 support
     for IMA regular file hashes and EVM portable signatures

  Remove:
   - Remove IMA support for asychronous hash calculation originally
     added for hardware acceleration

  Cleanup:
   - Remove unnecessary Kconfig CONFIG_MODULE_SIG and CONFIG_KEXEC_SIG
     tests
   - Add descriptions of the IMA atomic flags

  Bug fixes:
   - Like IMA, properly limit EVM "fix" mode
   - Define and call evm_fix_hmac() to update security.evm
   - Fallback to using i_version to detect file change for filesystems
     that do not support STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE
   - Address missing kernel support for configured (new) TPM hash
     algorithms
   - Add missing crypto_shash_final() return value"

Pull bpf updates from Alexei Starovoitov:

 - Welcome new BPF maintainers: Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi, Eduard
   Zingerman while Martin KaFai Lau reduced his load to Reviwer.

 - Lots of fixes everywhere from many first time contributors. Thank you
   All.

 - Diff stat is dominated by mechanical split of verifier.c into
   multiple components:

    - backtrack.c: backtracking logic and jump history
    - states.c:    state equivalence
    - cfg.c:       control flow graph, postorder, strongly connected
                   components
    - liveness.c:  register and stack liveness
    - fixups.c:    post-verification passes: instruction patching, dead
                   code removal, bpf_loop inlining, finalize fastcall

   8k line were moved. verifier.c still stands at 20k lines.

   Further refactoring is planned for the next release.

 - Replace dynamic stack liveness with static stack liveness based on
   data flow analysis.

   This improved the verification time by 2x for some programs and
   equally reduced memory consumption. New logic is in liveness.c and
   supported by constant folding in const_fold.c (Eduard Zingerman,
   Alexei Starovoitov)

 - Introduce BTF layout to ease addition of new BTF kinds (Alan Maguire)

 - Use kmalloc_nolock() universally in BPF local storage (Amery Hung)

 - Fix several bugs in linked registers delta tracking (Daniel Borkmann)

 - Improve verifier support of arena pointers (Emil Tsalapatis)

 - Improve verifier tracking of register bounds in min/max and tnum
   domains (Harishankar Vishwanathan, Paul Chaignon, Hao Sun)

 - Further extend support for implicit arguments in the verifier (Ihor
   Solodrai)

 - Add support for nop,nop5 instruction combo for USDT probes in libbpf
   (Jiri Olsa)

 - Support merging multiple module BTFs (Josef Bacik)

 - Extend applicability of bpf_kptr_xchg (Kaitao Cheng)

 - Retire rcu_trace_implies_rcu_gp() (Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi)

 - Support variable offset context access for 'syscall' programs (Kumar
   Kartikeya Dwivedi)

Pull module updates from Sami Tolvanen:
 "Kernel symbol flags:

   - Replace the separate *_gpl symbol sections (__ksymtab_gpl and
     __kcrctab_gpl) with a unified symbol table and a new __kflagstab
     section.

     This section stores symbol flags, such as the GPL-only flag, as an
     8-bit bitset for each exported symbol. This is a cleanup that
     simplifies symbol lookup in the module loader by avoiding table
     fragmentation and will allow a cleaner way to add more flags later
     if needed.

  Module signature UAPI:

   - Move struct module_signature to the UAPI headers to allow reuse by
     tools outside the kernel proper, such as kmod and
     scripts/sign-file.

     This also renames a few constants for clarity and drops unused
     signature types as preparation for hash-based module integrity
     checking work that's in progress.

  Sysfs:

   - Add a /sys/module/&lt;module&gt;/import_ns sysfs attribute to show the
     symbol namespaces imported by loaded modules.

     This makes it easier to verify driver API access at runtime on
     systems that care about such things (e.g. Android).

  Cleanups and fixes:

   - Force sh_addr to 0 for all sections in module.lds. This prevents
     non-zero section addresses when linking modules with 'ld.bfd -r',
     which confused elfutils.

   - Fix a memory leak of charp module parameters on module unload when
     the kernel is configured with CONFIG_SYSFS=n.

   - Override the -EEXIST error code returned by module_init() to
     userspace. This prevents confusion with the errno reserved by the
     module loader to indicate that a module is already loaded.

   - Simplify the warning message and drop the stack dump on positive
     returns from module_init().

   - Drop unnecessary extern keywords from function declarations and
     synchronize parse_args() arguments with their implementation"
