<title>s390/monwriter: Reject buffer reuse with different data length</title>

When data buffers are reused, e.g. for interval sample records, the
first record determines the data length, and the size of the buffer for
user copy. Current monwriter code does not check if the data length was
changed for subsequent records, which also would never happen for valid
user programs.

However, a malicious user could change the data length, resulting in out
of bounds user copy to the kernel buffer, and memory corruption. By
default, the monwriter misc device is created with root-only permissions,
so practical impact is typically low.

Fix this by checking for changed data length and rejecting such records.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - "selftests/mm: clean up build output and verbosity" (Li Wang)

   Remove some noise from the MM selftests build

 - "mm: Free contiguous order-0 pages efficiently" (Ryan Roberts)

   Speed up the freeing of a batch of 0-order pages by first scanning
   them for coalescing opportunities. This is applicable to vfree() and
   to the releasing of frozen pages

 - "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS failed region quota charge ratio"
   (SeongJae Park)

   Address a DAMOS usability issue: The DAMOS quota often exhausts
   prematurely because it charges for all memory attempted, causing slow
   and inconsistent performance when actions fail on unreclaimable
   memory.

   To fix this, a new feature lets users set a smaller, flexible quota
   charge ratio (via a numerator and denominator) for failed regions.
   Since failed actions cause less overhead, reducing their quota cost
   ensures more predictable and efficient DAMOS processing

 - "selftests/cgroup: improve zswap tests robustness and support large
   page sizes" (Li Wang)

   (SeongJae Park)

   Simplify deployment on diverse hardware like NUMA systems by updating
   DAMON_RECLAIM and DAMON_LRU_SORT to automatically monitor the
   physical address range covering all System RAM areas by default,
   replacing the overly restrictive behavior that only targeted the
   single largest memory block to save on negligible overhead

 - "mm/damon/sysfs: document filters/ directory as deprecated" (SeongJae
   Park)

   Update some DAMON docs

 - "mm: use spinlock guards for zone lock" (Dmitry Ilvokhin)

 - "mm/damon: documentation and comment fixes" (niecheng)

 - "remove mmap_action success, error hooks" (Lorenzo Stoakes)

   Eliminate custom hooks from mmap_action by removing the problematic
   success_hook which allowed drivers to improperly access uninitialized
   VMAs. It replaces the error_hook with a simple error-code field and
   updates the memory char driver accordingly

 - "mm/damon: minor improvements for code readability and tests"
   (SeongJae Park)

 - "memcg: shrink obj_stock_pcp and cache multiple objcgs" (Shakeel
   Butt)

   Resolve a 68% performance regression caused by NUMA-node cache
   thrashing around struct obj_stock_pcp by shrinking its existing
   fields and expanding it into a multi-slot array that caches up to
   five obj_cgroup pointers per CPU, allowing per-node variants of the
   same memcg to coexist within a single 64-byte cache line.

 - "zram: writeback fixes" (Sergey Senozhatsky)

   address a couple of unrelated zram writeback issues

 - "mm: switch THP shrinker to list_lru" (Johannes Weiner)

   refactoring and extending the list_lru API to completely replace the
   complex, open-coded deferred split queue for Transparent Huge Pages

 - "mm: improve large folio readahead for exec memory" (Usama Arif)

   Improve large-folio readahead on systems like 64K-page arm64 by
   preventing the mmap_miss check from permanently disabling
   target-oriented VM_EXEC readahead, and by generalizing the
   force_thp_readahead gate to support mappings with any usefully large
   maximum folio order under the cache cap.

 - "userfaultfd/pagemap: pre-existing fixes" (Kiryl Shutsemau)

   Fix a bunch of minor issues in the userfaultfd/pagemap, all of which

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "arm64:

     This is a bit of an odd merge window on the KVM/arm64 front. There
     is absolutely no new feature in the pull request. It is purely
     fixes, because it is simply becoming too hard to review new stuff
     when so many AI-fuelled fixes hit the list.

   - Significant cleanup of the vgic-v5 PPI support which was merged in
     7.1. This makes the code more maintainable, and squashes a couple
     of bugs in the meantime

   - Set of fixes for the handling of the MMU in an NV context,
     particularly VNCR-triggered faults. S1POE support is fixed as well

   - Large set of pKVM fixes, mostly addressing recurring issues around
     hypervisor tracking of donated pages in obscure cases where the
     donation could fail and leave things in a bizarre state

   - Fixes for the so-called "lazy vgic init", which resulted in
     sleeping operations in non-preemptible sections. This turned out to
     be far more invasive than initially expected..

   - Reduce the overhead of L1/L2 context switch by not touching the FP
     registers

   - Fix the way non-implemented page sizes are dealt with when a guest
     insist on using them for S2 translation

   - The usual set of low-impact fixes and cleanups all over the map

  Loongarch:

   - On a request for lazy FPU load, load all FPU state that the VM
     supports instead of enabling only the part (FPU, LSX or LASX) that
     caused the FPU load request

   - Some enhancements about interrupt injection

   - Some bug fixes and other small changes

  RISC-V:

   - Batch G-stage TLB flushes for GPA range based page table updates

   - Convert HGEI line management to fully per-HART

   - Fix missing CSR dirty marking when FWFT state updated via ONE_REG

   - Fix stale FWFT feature exposure to Guest/VM

   - Speed up dirty logging write faults using MMU rwlock and atomic PTE
     updates using cmpxchg() for permission-only changes

   - Use flexible array for APLIC IRQ state

   - Use kvm_slot_dirty_track_enabled() for logging enable check on a
     memslot

   - Avoid skipping valid pages in kvm_riscv_gstage_wp_range()

   - Avoid skipping valid pages in kvm_riscv_gstage_unmap_range()

   - Use endian-specific __lelong for NACL shared memory

  S390:

   - KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY support

   - Support for 2G hugepages

   - Support for the ASTFLEIE 2 facility

   - Support for fast inject using kvm_arch_set_irq_inatomic

   - Fix potential leak of uninitialized bytes

   - A few more misc gmap fixes

  x86:

   - Generic support for the more granular permissions allowed by EPT,
     namely "read" (which was previously usurping the U bit) and
     separate execution bits for kernel and userspace

   - Do not assume that all page tables start with U=1/W=1/NX=0 at the
     root, as AMD GMET needs to have U=0 at the root

   - Introduce common assembly macros for use within Intel and AMD
     vendor-specific vmentry code. This touches the SPEC_CTRL handling,
     which is now entirely done in assembly for Intel (by reusing the
     AMD code that already existed), and register save/restore which
     uses some macro magic to compute the offsets in the struct. Both of
     these are preparatory changes for upcoming APX support

   - Clean up KVM's register tracking and storage, primarily to prepare
     for APX support, which expands the maximum number of GPRs from 16
     to 32

   - Keep a single copy of the PDPTRs rather than two, since
     architecturally there is just one

   - Handle EXIT_FASTPATH_EXIT_USERSPACE in vendor code to ensure vendor
     code gets a chance to handle things like reaping the PML buffer

   - Update KVM's view of PV async enabling if and only if the MSR write
     fully succeeds

   - Fix a variety of issues where the emulator doesn't honor
     guest-debug state, and clean up related code along the way

   - Synthesize EPT Violation and #NPF "error code" bits when injecting
     faults into L1 that didn't originate in hardware (in which case the
     VMCS/VMCB doesn't hold relevant information)

   - Add support for virtualizing (well, emulating) AMD's flavor of
     CPL&gt;0 CPUID faulting

   - Clean up the GPR APIs so that KVM's use of "raw" is consistent, and
     fix a variety of minor bugs along the way

   - Fix an OOB memory access due to not checking the VP ID when
     handling a Hyper-V PV TLB flush for L2

   - Fix a bug in the mediated PMU's handling of fixed counters that
     allowed the guest to bypass the PMU event filter

   - Allow userspace to return EAGAIN when handling SNP and TDX
     hypercalls, so the KVM can forward a "retry" status code to the
     guest, and reserve all unused error codes for future usage

   - Overhaul the TDP MMU =&gt; S-EPT code to move as much S-EPT specific
     logic as possible into the TDX code, and to funnel (almost) all
     S-EPT updates into a single chokepoint. The motivation is largely
     to prepare for upcoming Dynamic PAMT support, but the cleanups are
     nice to have on their own

   - Plug a hole in shadow page table handling, where KVM fails to
     recursively zap nested EPT/NPT shadow page tables when the nested
     hypervisor tears down its own EPT/NPT page tables from the bottom
     up

  x86 (Intel):

   - Support for nested MBEC (Mode-Based Execute Control), see above in
     the generic section; also run with MBEC enabled even for non-nested
     mode

   - Use the kernel's "enum pg_level" in the TDX APIs instead of the
     TDX-Module's level definitions (which are 0-based)

   - Rework the TDX memory APIs to not require/assume that guest memory
     is backed by "struct page" (in prepartion for guest_memfd hugepage
     support)

   - Fix a largely benign bug where KVM TDX would incorrectly state it
     could emulate several x2APIC MSRs

   - Use the "safe" WRMSR API when proxying LBR MSR writes as the
     to-be-written value is guest controlled and completely unvalidated

  x86 (AMD):

   - Support for nested GMET (Guest Mode Execution Trap), see above in
     the generic section; also run with GMET enabled even for non-nested
     mode

   - Fixes and minor cleanups to GHCB handling, on top of the earlier
     work already merged into 7.1-rc

   - Ensure KVM's copy of CR0 and CR3 are up-to-date prior to invoking
     fastpath handlers

   - Add support for virtualizing gPAT (KVM previously just used L1's
     PAT when running L2)

   - Fix goofs where KVM mishandles side effects (e.g. single-step and
     PMC updates) when emulating VMRUN

   - Fix a variety of bugs in AVIC's handling of x2APIC MSR
     interception, most notably where KVM didn't disable interception of
     IRR, ISR, and TMR regs

   - Add support for virtualizing Host-Only/Guest-Only bits in the
     mediated PMU

   - Don't advertise support for unusable VM types, and account for VM
     types that are disabled by firmware, e.g. to mitigate security
     vulnerabilities

   - Rewrite the SEV {en,de}crypt debug ioctls as they were riddle with
     bugs and unnecessarily complicated, and add comprehensive tests

   - Clean up and deduplicate the SEV page pinning code

   - Fix minor goofs related to writing back CPUID information after
     firmware rejects a CPUID page for an SNP vCPU

  Generic:

   - Rename invalidate_begin() to invalidate_start() throughout KVM to
     follow the kernel's nomenclature, e.g. for mmu_notifiers

   - Use guard() to cleanup up various KVM+VFIO flows

   - Minor cleanups

  guest_memfd:

   - Return -EEXIST instead of -EINVAL if userspace attempts to bind a
     gmem range to multiple memslots, and fix the test that was supposed
     to ensure KVM returns -EEXIST

   - Treat memslot binding offsets and sizes as unsigned values to fix a
     bug where KVM interprets a large "offset + size" as a negative
     value and allows a nonsensical offset

   - Use the inode number instead of the page offset for the NUMA
     interleaving index to fix a bug where the effective index would
     jump by two for consecutive pages (the caller also adds in the page
     offset)

  Selftests:

   - Randomize the dirty log test's delay when reaping the bitmap on the
     first pass, as always waiting only 1ms hid a KVM RISC-V bug as the
     test reaped the bitmap before KVM could build up enough state to
     hit the bug

   - A pile of one-off fixes and cleanups"

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "arm64:

     This is a bit of an odd merge window on the KVM/arm64 front. There
     is absolutely no new feature in the pull request. It is purely
     fixes, because it is simply becoming too hard to review new stuff
     when so many AI-fuelled fixes hit the list.

   - Significant cleanup of the vgic-v5 PPI support which was merged in
     7.1. This makes the code more maintainable, and squashes a couple
     of bugs in the meantime

   - Set of fixes for the handling of the MMU in an NV context,
     particularly VNCR-triggered faults. S1POE support is fixed as well

   - Large set of pKVM fixes, mostly addressing recurring issues around
     hypervisor tracking of donated pages in obscure cases where the
     donation could fail and leave things in a bizarre state

   - Fixes for the so-called "lazy vgic init", which resulted in
     sleeping operations in non-preemptible sections. This turned out to
     be far more invasive than initially expected..

   - Reduce the overhead of L1/L2 context switch by not touching the FP
     registers

   - Fix the way non-implemented page sizes are dealt with when a guest
     insist on using them for S2 translation

   - The usual set of low-impact fixes and cleanups all over the map

  Loongarch:

   - On a request for lazy FPU load, load all FPU state that the VM
     supports instead of enabling only the part (FPU, LSX or LASX) that
     caused the FPU load request

   - Some enhancements about interrupt injection

   - Some bug fixes and other small changes

  RISC-V:

   - Batch G-stage TLB flushes for GPA range based page table updates

   - Convert HGEI line management to fully per-HART

   - Fix missing CSR dirty marking when FWFT state updated via ONE_REG

   - Fix stale FWFT feature exposure to Guest/VM

   - Speed up dirty logging write faults using MMU rwlock and atomic PTE
     updates using cmpxchg() for permission-only changes

   - Use flexible array for APLIC IRQ state

   - Use kvm_slot_dirty_track_enabled() for logging enable check on a
     memslot

   - Avoid skipping valid pages in kvm_riscv_gstage_wp_range()

   - Avoid skipping valid pages in kvm_riscv_gstage_unmap_range()

   - Use endian-specific __lelong for NACL shared memory

  S390:

<title>s390/con3270: Replace __get_free_page() with kmalloc()</title>

<content type='text'>
con3270_alloc_view() allocates a staging buffer used to assemble
3270 datastream content before it is copied into channel program
requests.

This buffer can be allocated with kmalloc() as there's nothing special
about it to go directly to the page allocator.

kmalloc() provides a better API that does not require ugly casts and
kfree() does not need to know the size of the freed object.

Performance difference between kmalloc() and __get_free_pages() is not
measurable as both allocators take an object/page from a per-CPU list for
fast path allocations.

For the slow path the performance is anyway determined by the amount of
reclaim involved rather than by what allocator is used.

Replace use of __get_free_page() with kmalloc() and free_page() with
kfree().

Rename the memory block lookup helper to make the acquired reference
explicit, add memory_block_put() to wrap put_device(), remove
find_memory_block(), and use memory_block_get() as the single block-id
based lookup interface.

This makes it clearer to callers that a successful lookup holds a
reference that must be dropped, reducing the chance of forgetting the
matching put and leaking the memory block device reference.

Rename the memory block lookup helper to make the acquired reference
explicit, add memory_block_put() to wrap put_device(), remove
find_memory_block(), and use memory_block_get() as the single block-id
based lookup interface.

This makes it clearer to callers that a successful lookup holds a
reference that must be dropped, reducing the chance of forgetting the
matching put and leaking the memory block device reference.

allmodconfig with clang W=1 points out unused global variables:

drivers/s390/char/zcore.c:49:23: error: variable
 'zcore_reipl_file' set but not used [-Werror,-Wunused-but-set-global]
drivers/s390/char/zcore.c:50:23: error: variable
 'zcore_hsa_file' set but not used [-Werror,-Wunused-but-set-global]

Remove both of them, since there is no point in keeping them.
