Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "Generic:

   - Use memdup_array_user() to harden against overflow.

   - Unconditionally advertise KVM_CAP_DEVICE_CTRL for all
     architectures.

   - Clean up Kconfigs that all KVM architectures were selecting

   - New functionality around "guest_memfd", a new userspace API that
     creates an anonymous file and returns a file descriptor that refers
     to it. guest_memfd files are bound to their owning virtual machine,
     cannot be mapped, read, or written by userspace, and cannot be
     resized. guest_memfd files do however support PUNCH_HOLE, which can
     be used to switch a memory area between guest_memfd and regular
     anonymous memory.

   - New ioctl KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES allowing userspace to specify
     per-page attributes for a given page of guest memory; right now the
     only attribute is whether the guest expects to access memory via
     guest_memfd or not, which in Confidential SVMs backed by SEV-SNP,
     TDX or ARM64 pKVM is checked by firmware or hypervisor that
     guarantees confidentiality (AMD PSP, Intel TDX module, or EL2 in
     the case of pKVM).

  x86:

   - Support for "software-protected VMs" that can use the new
     guest_memfd and page attributes infrastructure. This is mostly
     useful for testing, since there is no pKVM-like infrastructure to
     provide a meaningfully reduced TCB.

   - Fix a relatively benign off-by-one error when splitting huge pages
     during CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG.

   - Fix a bug where KVM could incorrectly test-and-clear dirty bits in
     non-leaf TDP MMU SPTEs if a racing thread replaces a huge SPTE with
     a non-huge SPTE.

   - Use more generic lockdep assertions in paths that don't actually
     care about whether the caller is a reader or a writer.

   - let Xen guests opt out of having PV clock reported as "based on a
     stable TSC", because some of them don't expect the "TSC stable" bit
     (added to the pvclock ABI by KVM, but never set by Xen) to be set.

   - Revert a bogus, made-up nested SVM consistency check for
     TLB_CONTROL.

   - Advertise flush-by-ASID support for nSVM unconditionally, as KVM
     always flushes on nested transitions, i.e. always satisfies flush
     requests. This allows running bleeding edge versions of VMware
     Workstation on top of KVM.

   - Sanity check that the CPU supports flush-by-ASID when enabling SEV
     support.

   - On AMD machines with vNMI, always rely on hardware instead of
     intercepting IRET in some cases to detect unmasking of NMIs

   - Support for virtualizing Linear Address Masking (LAM)

   - Fix a variety of vPMU bugs where KVM fail to stop/reset counters
     and other state prior to refreshing the vPMU model.

   - Fix a double-overflow PMU bug by tracking emulated counter events
     using a dedicated field instead of snapshotting the "previous"
     counter. If the hardware PMC count triggers overflow that is
     recognized in the same VM-Exit that KVM manually bumps an event
     count, KVM would pend PMIs for both the hardware-triggered overflow
     and for KVM-triggered overflow.

   - Turn off KVM_WERROR by default for all configs so that it's not
     inadvertantly enabled by non-KVM developers, which can be
     problematic for subsystems that require no regressions for W=1
     builds.

   - Advertise all of the host-supported CPUID bits that enumerate
     IA32_SPEC_CTRL "features".

   - Don't force a masterclock update when a vCPU synchronizes to the
     current TSC generation, as updating the masterclock can cause
     kvmclock's time to "jump" unexpectedly, e.g. when userspace
     hotplugs a pre-created vCPU.

   - Use RIP-relative address to read kvm_rebooting in the VM-Enter
     fault paths, partly as a super minor optimization, but mostly to
     make KVM play nice with position independent executable builds.

   - Guard KVM-on-HyperV's range-based TLB flush hooks with an #ifdef on
     CONFIG_HYPERV as a minor optimization, and to self-document the
     code.

   - Add CONFIG_KVM_HYPERV to allow disabling KVM support for HyperV
     "emulation" at build time.

  ARM64:

   - LPA2 support, adding 52bit IPA/PA capability for 4kB and 16kB base
     granule sizes. Branch shared with the arm64 tree.

   - Large Fine-Grained Trap rework, bringing some sanity to the
     feature, although there is more to come. This comes with a prefix
     branch shared with the arm64 tree.

   - Some additional Nested Virtualization groundwork, mostly
     introducing the NV2 VNCR support and retargetting the NV support to
     that version of the architecture.

   - A small set of vgic fixes and associated cleanups.

  Loongarch:

   - Optimization for memslot hugepage checking

   - Cleanup and fix some HW/SW timer issues

   - Add LSX/LASX (128bit/256bit SIMD) support

  RISC-V:

   - KVM_GET_REG_LIST improvement for vector registers

   - Generate ISA extension reg_list using macros in get-reg-list
     selftest

   - Support for reporting steal time along with selftest

  s390:

   - Bugfixes

  Selftests:

   - Fix an annoying goof where the NX hugepage test prints out garbage
     instead of the magic token needed to run the test.

   - Fix build errors when a header is delete/moved due to a missing
     flag in the Makefile.

   - Detect if KVM bugged/killed a selftest's VM and print out a helpful
     message instead of complaining that a random ioctl() failed.

   - Annotate the guest printf/assert helpers with __printf(), and fix
     the various bugs that were lurking due to lack of said annotation"

Instead of explicitly checking -&gt;cq_wait_nr for whether there are
waiting, which is currently represented by 0, we can store there a

Add a named constant for that and for the wake up bias value.

<content type='text'>
The UINT_MAX work item counting bias in io_req_local_work_add() in case
of !IOU_F_TWQ_LAZY_WAKE works in a sense that we will not miss a wake up,
however it's still eerie. In particular, if we add a lazy work item
after a non-lazy one, we'll increment it and get nr_tw==0, and
subsequent adds may try to unnecessarily wake up the task, which is
though not so likely to happen in real workloads.

Half the bias, it's still large enough to be larger than any valid
-&gt;cq_wait_nr, which is limited by IORING_MAX_CQ_ENTRIES, but further
have a good enough of space before it overflows.

after a non-lazy one, we'll increment it and get nr_tw==0, and
subsequent adds may try to unnecessarily wake up the task, which is
though not so likely to happen in real workloads.

Half the bias, it's still large enough to be larger than any valid
-&gt;cq_wait_nr, which is limited by IORING_MAX_CQ_ENTRIES, but further
have a good enough of space before it overflows.

For the normal read/write path, we have already locked the ring
submission side when assigning the file. This causes branch
mispredictions when we then check and try and lock again in
io_req_set_rsrc_node(). As this is a very hot path, this matters.

Add a basic helper that already assumes we already have it locked,
and use that in io_file_get_fixed().

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the usual miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes
  for vfs and individual fses.

  Features:

   - Add Jan Kara as VFS reviewer

   - Show correct device and inode numbers in proc/&lt;pid&gt;/maps for vma
     files on stacked filesystems. This is now easily doable thanks to
     the backing file work from the last cycles. This comes with
     selftests

  Cleanups:

   - Remove a redundant might_sleep() from wait_on_inode()

   - Initialize pointer with NULL, not 0

   - Clarify comment on access_override_creds()

   - Rework and simplify eventfd_signal() and eventfd_signal_mask()
     helpers

   - Process aio completions in batches to avoid needless wakeups

   - Completely decouple struct mnt_idmap from namespaces. We now only
     keep the actual idmapping around and don't stash references to
     namespaces

   - Reformat maintainer entries to indicate that a given subsystem
     belongs to fs/

   - Simplify fput() for files that were never opened

   - Get rid of various pointless file helpers

   - Rename various file helpers

   - Rename struct file members after SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU switch from
     last cycle

   - Make relatime_need_update() return bool

   - Use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_USER when allocating superblocks

   - Replace deprecated ida_simple_*() calls with their current ida_*()
     counterparts

  Fixes:

   - Fix comments on user namespace id mapping helpers. They aren't
     kernel doc comments so they shouldn't be using /**

   - s/Retuns/Returns/g in various places

   - Add missing parameter documentation on can_move_mount_beneath()

   - Rename i_mapping-&gt;private_data to i_mapping-&gt;i_private_data

   - Fix a false-positive lockdep warning in pipe_write() for watch
     queues

   - Improve __fget_files_rcu() code generation to improve performance

   - Only notify writer that pipe resizing has finished after setting
     pipe-&gt;max_usage otherwise writers are never notified that the pipe
     has been resized and hang

   - Fix some kernel docs in hfsplus

   - s/passs/pass/g in various places

   - Fix kernel docs in ntfs

   - Fix kcalloc() arguments order reported by gcc 14

   - Fix uninitialized value in reiserfs"

A previous commit added an earlier break condition here, which is fine if
we're using non-local task_work as it'll be run on return to userspace.
However, if DEFER_TASKRUN is used, then we could be leaving local
task_work that is ready to process in the ctx list until next time that
we enter the kernel to wait for events.

Move the break condition to _after_ we have run task_work.
