Always use the same page table walker kvm->arch.gva_walk as the entry point to convert a guest's virtual address, where the previous code used two different kvm_mmu structs depending on whether the walk included nested EPT/NPT or not.

2026-08-09KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add support for compat CPU capabilities for KVM on PowerNVAmit Machhiwal
Currently, when booting a compatibility-mode KVM guest (L1) on a PowerNV hypervisor (L0), the guest runs with the expected processor compatibility level. However, when booting a nested KVM guest (L2) inside the L1, QEMU derives the CPU model from the raw host PVR and attempts to run the nested guest at that level, instead of honoring the compatibility mode of the L1. Extend host CPU compatibility capability reporting to support nested virtualization on PowerNV systems (PAPR nested API v1). For nested API v2 (PowerVM), compatibility capabilities are served from the cached nested_capabilities value (populated at module init via kvmhv_nested_init() using the H_GUEST_GET_CAPABILITIES hcall). This information is not available on PowerNV systems. For nested API v1, derive the compatibility capabilities from the L1 guest by reading the "cpu-version" property from the device tree, which reflects the effective (logical) processor compatibility level. Map this value to the corresponding compatibility capability bitmap using KVM-specific constants. The mapping is cumulative: a system running at a given compatibility level is assumed to also support older generations down the supported chain. Note that unlike KVM on PowerVM (nested API v2), KVM on PowerNV currently does not strictly enforce older generation compatibility modes for nested guests - the reported capabilities reflect what the host CPU can present, not what the hypervisor independently validates. Introduce a helper kvmppc_map_compat_capabilities() to translate CPU version values into KVM_PPC_COMPAT_CAP bits using a fallthrough switch, and integrate it into kvmppc_get_compat_caps(). The implementation applies masking to ensure only supported processor modes are exposed. This allows userspace to query host CPU compatibility modes on both KVM on PowerVM and on PowerNV platforms via the KVM_PPC_GET_COMPAT_CAPS ioctl.

2026-08-09KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Implement compat CPU capability retrieval for KVM on ↵Amit Machhiwal
PowerVM On POWER systems, the host CPU may run in a compatibility mode (e.g., a Power11 processor operating in Power10 compatibility mode). In such cases, the effective CPU level exposed to guests differs from the physical processor generation. When running nested KVM guests, QEMU derives the host CPU type using mfpvr(), which reflects the physical processor version. This can result in a mismatch between the CPU model selected by QEMU and the compatibility mode enforced by the host, leading to guest boot failures. For example, booting a nested guest on a Power11 LPAR configured in Power10 compatibility mode fails with: KVM-NESTEDv2: couldn't set guest wide elements [..KVM reg dump..] This occurs because QEMU selects a CPU model corresponding to the physical processor (via mfpvr()), while the host operates in a lower compatibility mode. As a result, KVM rejects the requested compatibility level during guest initialization. On pseries nestedv2 systems, add support for retrieving host CPU compatibility capabilities for nested guests on PowerVM. The capability bitmap reflects the processor modes negotiated between the Power hypervisor (L0) and the host partition (L1) via the H_GUEST_GET_CAPABILITIES hcall, but is retrieved from the cached nested_capabilities value populated during module initialization, avoiding repeated hypervisor calls. A WARN_ON_ONCE() flags the unexpected case where nested_capabilities is zero on a nestedv2 system. The implementation defines KVM-specific capability constants (KVM_PPC_COMPAT_CAP_POWER9/10/11), masks unsupported bits, and exposes the result through the KVM_PPC_GET_COMPAT_CAPS ioctl. Hook the implementation into the Book3S HV kvmppc_ops so that it can be invoked by the generic KVM ioctl handling code.

2026-08-09KVM: PPC: Introduce KVM_CAP_PPC_COMPAT_CAPS and wire up ioctlAmit Machhiwal
Introduce a new capability and ioctl to expose CPU compatibility modes supported by the host processor for nested guests. On IBM POWER systems, newer processor generations (N) can operate in compatibility modes corresponding to earlier generations, like (N-1) and (N-2). This is particularly relevant for nested virtualization, where nested KVM guests may need to run with a specific processor compatibility level. Introduce KVM_CAP_PPC_COMPAT_CAPS capability and the corresponding KVM_PPC_GET_COMPAT_CAPS vm ioctl. The ioctl returns a bitmap describing the compatibility modes supported by the host in respective bit numbers, allowing userspace (e.g., QEMU) to select an appropriate compatibility level when configuring nested KVM guests. The ioctl handling is added in kvm_arch_vm_ioctl() and retrieves host CPU compatibility capabilities via a PowerPC-specific backend implementation when available. The struct kvm_ppc_compat_caps places the 'size' field first so it can be read alone via get_user() before copy_struct_from_user() is called, avoiding pointer arithmetic to locate the size field. The ioctl is defined using _IO so the ioctl number remains stable even if the struct grows in future versions. It uses copy_struct_from_user() and copy_struct_to_user() to provide forward- and backward-compatible extensibility: older userspace passing a smaller struct to a newer kernel gets zero-padded trailing fields. Newer userspace passing a larger struct to an older kernel (usize > ksize) succeeds if trailing bytes are zero (the kernel reports back min(usize, ksize) as the filled size); if trailing bytes are non-zero, the kernel writes back ksize into host_caps.size and returns -E2BIG so userspace can retry with the correct size. KVM_PPC_COMPAT_CAPS_SIZE_VER0 is defined as a frozen integer constant (24) marking the size of the initial struct version, used as the minimum floor for size field validation, similar to other versioned struct interfaces in the kernel. The 'flags' field is reserved for future use. The kernel rejects any call where flags is non-zero with -EINVAL, preventing garbage values from being baked into ABI permanently. The ioctl returns appropriate error codes: E2BIG if usize exceeds PAGE_SIZE, or if new userspace provides a larger struct with non-zero trailing bytes (with ksize written back into host_caps.size for the retry); EINVAL for an invalid size or non-zero reserved fields; EFAULT for failed copy operations; and ENOTTY if the backend doesn't implement get_compat_caps.

2026-08-03KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Validate arch_compat against host compatibility modeAmit Machhiwal
On IBM POWER systems, newer processor generations can operate in compatibility modes corresponding to earlier generations. This becomes relevant for nested virtualization, where nested KVM guests may need to run with a specific processor compatibility level. Currently, when running a nested KVM guest (L2) inside a Power11 pSeries logical partition (L1) booted in Power10 compatibility mode, the guest fails to boot while setting 'arch_compat'. This happens because the CPU class is derived from the hardware PVR (via mfspr()), which reflects the physical processor generation (Power11), rather than the effective compatibility mode (Power10). As a result, userspace may request a Power11 arch_compat for the L2 guest. However, the L1 partition, running in Power10 compatibility, has only negotiated support up to Power10 with the Power Hypervisor (L0). When H_GUEST_SET_STATE is invoked with a Power11 Logical PVR, the hypervisor rejects the request, leading to a late guest boot failure: KVM-NESTEDv2: couldn't set guest wide elements [..KVM reg dump..] This situation should be detected earlier and rejected by KVM. Without proper validation, if userspace ignores the error, the guest may continue to boot in Power11 raw mode on a Power10 compatibility host, which should not be allowed. Introduce a validation mechanism that detects unsupported arch_compat values early in the guest initialization path. When an unsupported arch_compat is requested (e.g., Power11 on a Power10 compatibility mode host), kvmppc_set_arch_compat() uses cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_P11_PVR) to detect the mismatch and sets arch_compat to PVR_ARCH_INVALID (0xffffffff). This sentinel value is architecturally safe: PAPR specifies that valid logical PVR values must have 0x0f as the first byte, ensuring 0xffffffff lies permanently outside the specification-defined range. Setting this value triggers kvmppc_sanity_check() to mark the vCPU as invalid by setting vcpu->arch.sane to false. On the next vCPU run, kvmppc_vcpu_run_hv() checks this flag and returns -EINVAL, preventing the guest from running with an invalid processor compatibility configuration. With this, when a Power11 arch_compat is requested on a Power10 compatibility mode host, the guest fails early during boot with: error: kvm run failed Invalid argument This provides a much clearer failure mode compared to the previous behavior where the guest could boot in Power11 raw mode (if userspace ignored the error) or fail late during H_GUEST_SET_STATE.

2026-07-31KVM: powerpc: Use generic xfer to guest work functionVishal Chourasia
Since commit 2cd571245b43 ("sched/fair: Add related data structure for task based throttle") in v6.18, CFS bandwidth throttling no longer dequeues a task directly; it queues task_work via TWA_RESUME and sets TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME, relying on that work running before the task returns to guest/user mode. The powerpc KVM run loops only checked for reschedule and signals, never TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME, so the deferred throttle never ran while a vCPU stayed in the run loop: a CPU-bound guest that rarely exits to userspace ran far past its cpu.max quota and then appeared frozen for minutes while the accrued throttle debt was repaid. Use the generic infrastructure to check for and handle pending work before transitioning into guest mode, replacing the open-coded need_resched() and cond_resched() checks in the Book3S HV run loops and in the common kvmppc_prepare_to_enter() used by the Book3S PR and BookE run loops. The redundant signal_pending() recheck (and its sigpend label) in kvmhv_run_single_vcpu() is also dropped, as xfer_to_guest_mode_work_pending() is a superset of it. This picks up handling for TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME, which was previously ignored, meaning task work will now be correctly handled on every guest re-entry. Selecting VIRT_XFER_TO_GUEST_WORK disables RCU's last-resort self-IPI fallback for vCPU tasks (see rcu_irq_work_resched()), which on nohz_full CPUs was what forced a reschedule for deferred rcuog wakeups queued right before guest entry. Take over that obligation the same way x86 and s390 do: call xfer_to_guest_mode_prepare() with IRQs disabled immediately before the final xfer_to_guest_mode_work_pending() check at each guest-entry gate (kvmhv_run_single_vcpu(), kvmppc_run_core() and kvmppc_prepare_to_enter()). In kvmppc_prepare_to_enter(), IRQs are now disabled with local_irq_disable() before hard_irq_disable(): on 32-bit, hard_irq_disable() is a raw MSR[EE] clear that bypasses the lockdep/irq-tracing state, and the strict xfer_to_guest_mode helpers assert that IRQs are seen as disabled. This also allows upgrading the racy __xfer_to_guest_mode_work_pending() check to the asserting variant, as this loop is the terminal gate for the PR and BookE paths. In kvmhv_run_single_vcpu(), the -EINTR exit and the pre-existing kvmhv_setup_mmu() failure exit now leave via the done label instead of returning directly, keeping the run_vcpu enter/exit tracepoints balanced and vcpu->arch.ret consistent with the returned value. In kvmppc_prepare_to_enter() the generic helper accounts the signal exit (vcpu->stat.signal_exits and KVM_EXIT_INTR) but does not set the exit type, so kvmppc_set_exit_type(SIGNAL_EXITS) is retained on the signal path to preserve the E500 CONFIG_KVM_EXIT_TIMING histogram; it is a no-op otherwise.

Fix a build error in kvmppc_e500_tlb_init() that was introduced by the conversion to use kzalloc_objs(), as KVM confusingly uses the size of the structure that is one and only field in tlbe_priv: arch/powerpc/kvm/e500_mmu.c:923:33: error: assignment to 'struct tlbe_priv *' from incompatible pointer type 'struct tlbe_ref *' [-Wincompatible-pointer-types] 923 | vcpu_e500->gtlb_priv[0] = kzalloc_objs(struct tlbe_ref, | ^ KVM has been flawed since commit 0164c0f0c404 ("KVM: PPC: e500: clear up confusion between host and guest entries"), but the issue went unnoticed until kmalloc_obj() came along and enforced types, as "struct tlbe_priv" was just a wrapper of "struct tlbe_ref" (why on earth the two ever existed separately...).

2026-02-21Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL argumentsLinus Torvalds
This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts. The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want whitespace cleanup anyway. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2026-02-21Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argumentLinus Torvalds
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' | xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/' to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL argument to just drop that argument. Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered: they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically. For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate conversion. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org>
2026-01-26mm/zone_device: reinitialize large zone device private foliosMatthew Brost
Reinitialize metadata for large zone device private folios in zone_device_page_init prior to creating a higher-order zone device private folio. This step is necessary when the folio's order changes dynamically between zone_device_page_init calls to avoid building a corrupt folio. As part of the metadata reinitialization, the dev_pagemap must be passed in from the caller because the pgmap stored in the folio page may have been overwritten with a compound head. Without this fix, individual pages could have invalid pgmap fields and flags (with PG_locked being notably problematic) due to prior different order allocations, which can, and will, result in kernel crashes.

2026-01-08KVM: Remove subtle "struct kvm_stats_desc" pseudo-overlaySean Christopherson
Remove KVM's internal pseudo-overlay of kvm_stats_desc, which subtly aliases the flexible name[] in the uAPI definition with a fixed-size array of the same name. The unusual embedded structure results in compiler warnings due to -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end, and also necessitates an extra level of dereferencing in KVM. To avoid the "overlay", define the uAPI structure to have a fixed-size name when building for the kernel. Opportunistically clean up the indentation for the stats macros, and replace spaces with tabs. No functional change intended. Reported-by: Gustavo A. R.

replace it with an off-by-default module param to WARN if hardware fails a check that KVM does not perform - Fix a currently-benign bug where KVM would drop the guest's SPEC_CTRL[63:32] on VM-Enter - Misc cleanups - Overhaul the TDX code to address systemic races where KVM (acting on behalf of userspace) could inadvertantly trigger lock contention in the TDX-Module;

2025-11-24mm/zone_device: support large zone device private foliosBalbir Singh
Patch series "mm: support device-private THP", v7. This patch series introduces support for Transparent Huge Page (THP) migration in zone device-private memory. The implementation enables efficient migration of large folios between system memory and device-private memory Background Current zone device-private memory implementation only supports PAGE_SIZE granularity, leading to: - Increased TLB pressure - Inefficient migration between CPU and device memory This series extends the existing zone device-private infrastructure to support THP, leading to: - Reduced page table overhead - Improved memory bandwidth utilization - Seamless fallback to base pages when needed In my local testing (using lib/test_hmm) and a throughput test, the series shows a 350% improvement in data transfer throughput and a 80% improvement in latency These patches build on the earlier posts by Ralph Campbell [1] Two new flags are added in vma_migration to select and mark compound pages. migrate_vma_setup(), migrate_vma_pages() and migrate_vma_finalize() support migration of these pages when MIGRATE_VMA_SELECT_COMPOUND is passed in as arguments. The series also adds zone device awareness to (m)THP pages along with fault handling of large zone device private pages. page vma walk and the rmap code is also zone device aware. Support has also been added for folios that might need to be split in the middle of migration (when the src and dst do not agree on MIGRATE_PFN_COMPOUND), that occurs when src side of the migration can migrate large pages, but the destination has not been able to allocate large pages. The code supported and used folio_split() when migrating THP pages, this is used when MIGRATE_VMA_SELECT_COMPOUND is not passed as an argument to migrate_vma_setup(). The test infrastructure lib/test_hmm.c has been enhanced to support THP migration. A new ioctl to emulate failure of large page allocations has been added to test the folio split code path. hmm-tests.c has new test cases for huge page migration and to test the folio split path. A new throughput test has been added as well. The nouveau dmem code has been enhanced to use the new THP migration capability. mTHP support: The patches hard code, HPAGE_PMD_NR in a few places, but the code has been kept generic to support various order sizes. With additional refactoring of the code support of different order sizes should be possible. The future plan is to post enhancements to support mTHP with a rough design as follows: 1. Add the notion of allowable thp orders to the HMM based test driver 2. For non PMD based THP paths in migrate_device.c, check to see if a suitable order is found and supported by the driver 3. Iterate across orders to check the highest supported order for migration 4. Migrate and finalize The mTHP patches can be built on top of this series, the key design elements that need to be worked out are infrastructure and driver support for multiple ordered pages and their migration. HMM support for large folios was added in 10b9feee2d0d ("mm/hmm: populate PFNs from PMD swap entry"). This patch (of 16) Add routines to support allocation of large order zone device folios and helper functions for zone device folios, to check if a folio is device private and helpers for setting zone device data. When large folios are used, the existing page_free() callback in pgmap is called when the folio is freed, this is true for both PAGE_SIZE and higher order pages. Zone device private large folios do not support deferred split and scan like normal THP folios.

Rename the "async" ioctl API to "unlocked" so that upcoming usage in x86's TDX code doesn't result in a massive misnomer. To avoid having to retry SEAMCALLs, TDX needs to acquire kvm->lock *and* all vcpu->mutex locks, and acquiring all of those locks after/inside the current vCPU's mutex is a non-starter. However, TDX also needs to acquire the vCPU's mutex and load the vCPU, i.e. the handling is very much not async to the vCPU. No functional change intended.

Implement kvm_arch_vcpu_async_ioctl() "natively" in x86 and arm64 instead of relying on an #ifdef'd stub, and drop HAVE_KVM_VCPU_ASYNC_IOCTL in anticipation of using the API on x86. Once x86 uses the API, providing a stub for one architecture and having all other architectures opt-in requires more code than simply implementing the API in the lone holdout. Eliminating the Kconfig will also reduce churn if the API is renamed in the future (spoiler alert). No functional change intended.

2025-10-13powerpc, ocxl: Fix extraction of struct xive_irq_dataNam Cao
Commit cc0cc23babc9 ("powerpc/xive: Untangle xive from child interrupt controller drivers") changed xive_irq_data to be stashed to chip_data instead of handler_data. However, multiple places are still attempting to read xive_irq_data from handler_data and get a NULL pointer deference bug. Update them to read xive_irq_data from chip_data. Non-XIVE files which touch xive_irq_data seem quite strange to me, especially the ocxl driver. I think there ought to be an alternative platform-independent solution, instead of touching XIVE's data directly. Therefore, I think this whole thing should be cleaned up.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: "As usual, many cleanups. The below blurbiage describes 42 patchsets. 21 of those are partially or fully cleanup work. "cleans up", "cleanup", "maintainability", "rationalizes", etc. I never knew the MM code was so dirty. "mm: ksm: prevent KSM from breaking merging of new VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes) addresses an issue with KSM's PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE mode: newly mapped VMAs were not eligible for merging with existing adjacent VMAs. "mm/damon: introduce DAMON_STAT for simple and practical access monitoring" (SeongJae Park) adds a new kernel module which simplifies the setup and usage of DAMON in production environments. "stop passing a writeback_control to swap/shmem writeout" (Christoph Hellwig) is a cleanup to the writeback code which removes a couple of pointers from struct writeback_control. "drivers/base/node.c: optimization and cleanups" (Donet Tom) contains largely uncorrelated cleanups to the NUMA node setup and management code. "mm: userfaultfd: assorted fixes and cleanups" (Tal Zussman) does some maintenance work on the userfaultfd code. "Readahead tweaks for larger folios" (Ryan Roberts) implements some tuneups for pagecache readahead when it is reading into order>0 folios. "selftests/mm: Tweaks to the cow test" (Mark Brown) provides some cleanups and consistency improvements to the selftests code. "Optimize mremap() for large folios" (Dev Jain) does that. A 37% reduction in execution time was measured in a memset+mremap+munmap microbenchmark. "Remove zero_user()" (Matthew Wilcox) expunges zero_user() in favor of the more modern memzero_page(). "mm/huge_memory: vmf_insert_folio_*() and vmf_insert_pfn_pud() fixes" (David Hildenbrand) addresses some warts which David noticed in the huge page code. These were not known to be causing any issues at this time. "mm/damon: use alloc_migrate_target() for DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD" (SeongJae Park) provides some cleanup and consolidation work in DAMON. "use vm_flags_t consistently" (Lorenzo Stoakes) uses vm_flags_t in places where we were inappropriately using other types. "mm/memfd: Reserve hugetlb folios before allocation" (Vivek Kasireddy) increases the reliability of large page allocation in the memfd code. "mm: Remove pXX_devmap page table bit and pfn_t type" (Alistair Popple) removes several now-unneeded PFN_* flags. "mm/damon: decouple sysfs from core" (SeongJae Park) implememnts some cleanup and maintainability work in the DAMON sysfs layer. "madvise cleanup" (Lorenzo Stoakes) does quite a lot of cleanup/maintenance work in the madvise() code. "madvise anon_name cleanups" (Vlastimil Babka) provides additional cleanups on top or Lorenzo's effort. "Implement numa node notifier" (Oscar Salvador) creates a standalone notifier for NUMA node memory state changes. Previously these were lumped under the more general memory on/offline notifier. "Make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a standalone bit" (Zi Yan) cleans up the pageblock isolation code and fixes a potential issue which doesn't seem to cause any problems in practice. "selftests/damon: add python and drgn based DAMON sysfs functionality tests" (SeongJae Park) adds additional drgn- and python-based DAMON selftests which are more comprehensive than the existing selftest suite. "Misc rework on hugetlb faulting path" (Oscar Salvador) fixes a rather obscure deadlock in the hugetlb fault code and follows that fix with a series of cleanups. "cma: factor out allocation logic from __cma_declare_contiguous_nid" (Mike Rapoport) rationalizes and cleans up the highmem-specific code in the CMA allocator. "mm/migration: rework movable_ops page migration (part 1)" (David Hildenbrand) provides cleanups and future-preparedness to the migration code. "mm/damon: add trace events for auto-tuned monitoring intervals and DAMOS quota" (SeongJae Park) adds some tracepoints to some DAMON auto-tuning code. "mm/damon: fix misc bugs in DAMON modules" (SeongJae Park) does that. "mm/damon: misc cleanups" (SeongJae Park) also does what it claims. "mm: folio_pte_batch() improvements" (David Hildenbrand) cleans up the large folio PTE batching code. "mm/damon/vaddr: Allow interleaving in migrate_{hot,cold} actions" (SeongJae Park) facilitates dynamic alteration of DAMON's inter-node allocation policy. "Remove unmap_and_put_page()" (Vishal Moola) provides a couple of page->folio conversions. "mm: per-node proactive reclaim" (Davidlohr Bueso) implements a per-node control of proactive reclaim - beyond the current memcg-based implementation. "mm/damon: remove damon_callback" (SeongJae Park) replaces the damon_callback interface with a more general and powerful damon_call()+damos_walk() interface. "mm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes) implements a number of mremap cleanups (of course) in preparation for adding new mremap() functionality: newly permit the remapping of multiple VMAs when the user is specifying MREMAP_FIXED. It still excludes some specialized situations where this cannot be performed reliably. "drop hugetlb_free_pgd_range()" (Anthony Yznaga) switches some sparc hugetlb code over to the generic version and removes the thus-unneeded hugetlb_free_pgd_range(). "mm/damon/sysfs: support periodic and automated stats update" (SeongJae Park) augments the present userspace-requested update of DAMON sysfs monitoring files. Automatic update is now provided, along with a tunable to control the update interval. "Some randome fixes and cleanups to swapfile" (Kemeng Shi) does what is claims. "mm: introduce snapshot_page" (Luiz Capitulino and David Hildenbrand) provides (and uses) a means by which debug-style functions can grab a copy of a pageframe and inspect it locklessly without tripping over the races inherent in operating on the live pageframe directly. "use per-vma locks for /proc/pid/maps reads" (Suren Baghdasaryan) addresses the large contention issues which can be triggered by reads from that procfs file. Latencies are reduced by more than half in some situations. The series also introduces several new selftests for the /proc/pid/maps interface.

2025-05-12KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix IRQ map warnings with XICS on pSeries KVM GuestAmit Machhiwal
The commit 9576730d0e6e ("KVM: PPC: select IRQ_BYPASS_MANAGER") enabled IRQ_BYPASS_MANAGER when CONFIG_KVM was set. Subsequently, commit c57875f5f9be ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Enable IRQ bypass") enabled IRQ bypass and added the necessary callbacks to create/remove the mappings between host real IRQ and the guest GSI. The availability of IRQ bypass is determined by the arch-specific function kvm_arch_has_irq_bypass(), which invokes kvmppc_irq_bypass_add_producer_hv(). This function, in turn, calls kvmppc_set_passthru_irq_hv() to create a mapping in the passthrough IRQ map, associating a host IRQ to a guest GSI. However, when a pSeries KVM guest (L2) is booted within an LPAR (L1) with the kernel boot parameter `xive=off`, it defaults to using emulated XICS controller. As an attempt to establish host IRQ to guest GSI mappings via kvmppc_set_passthru_irq() on a PCI device hotplug (passhthrough) operation fail, returning -ENOENT. This failure occurs because only interrupts with EOI operations handled through OPAL calls (verified via is_pnv_opal_msi()) are currently supported. These mapping failures lead to below repeated warnings in the L1 host: [ 509.220349] kvmppc_set_passthru_irq_hv: Could not assign IRQ map for (58,4970) [ 509.220368] kvmppc_set_passthru_irq (irq 58, gsi 4970) fails: -2 [ 509.220376] vfio-pci 0015:01:00.0: irq bypass producer (token 0000000090bc635b) registration fails: -2 ...

Add support for adding and parsing Hostwide elements to the Guest-state-buffer data structure used in apiv2. These elements are used to share meta-information pertaining to entire L1-Lpar and this meta-information is maintained by L0-PowerVM hypervisor. Example of this include the amount of the page-table memory currently used by L0-PowerVM for hosting the Shadow-Pagetable of all active L2-Guests. More of the are documented in kernel-documentation at [1]. The Hostwide GSB elements are currently only support with H_GUEST_SET_STATE hcall with a special flag namely 'KVMPPC_GS_FLAGS_HOST_WIDE'. The patch introduces new defs for the 5 new Hostwide GSB elements including their GSIDs as well as introduces a new class of GSB elements namely 'KVMPPC_GS_CLASS_HOSTWIDE' to indicate to GSB construction/parsing infrastructure in 'kvm/guest-state-buffer.c'. Also gs_msg_ops_vcpu_get_size(), kvmppc_gsid_type() and kvmppc_gse_{flatten,unflatten}_iden() are updated to appropriately indicate the needed size for these Hostwide GSB elements as well as how to flatten/unflatten their GSIDs so that they can be marked as available in GSB bitmap.

2025-03-07KVM: PPC: Enable CAP_SPAPR_TCE_VFIO on pSeries KVM guestsAmit Machhiwal
Currently on book3s-hv, the capability KVM_CAP_SPAPR_TCE_VFIO is only available for KVM Guests running on PowerNV and not for the KVM guests running on pSeries hypervisors. This prevents a pSeries L2 guest from leveraging the in-kernel acceleration for H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT and H_STUFF_TCE hcalls that results in slow startup times for large memory guests. Support for VFIO on pSeries was restored in commit f431a8cde7f1 ("powerpc/iommu: Reimplement the iommu_table_group_ops for pSeries"), making it possible to re-enable this capability on pSeries hosts. This change enables KVM_CAP_SPAPR_TCE_VFIO for nested PAPR guests on pSeries, while maintaining the existing behavior on PowerNV. Booting an L2 guest with 128GB of memory shows an average 11% improvement in startup time.

2025-02-18KVM: PPC: Switch to use hrtimer_setup()Nam Cao
hrtimer_setup() takes the callback function pointer as argument and initializes the timer completely. Replace hrtimer_init() and the open coded initialization of hrtimer::function with the new setup mechanism. Patch was created by using Coccinelle.
