10 daysRevert "x86/fpu: Refine and simplify the magic number check during signal ↵Andrei Vagin
return" This reverts dc8aa31a7ac2 ("x86/fpu: Refine and simplify the magic number check during signal return"). The aforementioned commit broke applications that construct signal frames in userspace (such as CRIU and gVisor) if the frame's xstate size is smaller than the kernel's fpstate->user_size. Furthermore, this introduces a critical issue for checkpoint/restore tools like CRIU. If a process is checkpointed while inside a signal handler, its stack contains a signal frame formatted according to the source host's xstate capabilities. If that process is later restored on a destination host with larger xstate capabilities (e.g., a newer CPU with more features enabled, resulting in a larger fpstate->user_size), the kernel will look for FP_XSTATE_MAGIC2 at the destination host's larger user_size offset instead of the offset encoded in the frame's fx_sw->xstate_size. This causes the magic2 check to fail, forcing sigreturn to silently fall back to "FX-only" mode. Upon return from the signal handler, the process's extended state is reset to initial values instead of being restored, leading to silent data corruption. The aforementioned commit cited d877550eaf2d ("x86/fpu: Stop relying on userspace for info to fault in xsave buffer") as justification to stop relying on userspace for the magic number check. However, these two changes are fundamentally different. The last one only changed how much memory the kernel ensures is paged-in before running XRSTOR to prevent an infinite loop. It did not change the signal frame format or how the layout is validated. Reverting this change restores the use of fx_sw->xstate_size for locating magic2 and restores the necessary sanity checks, ensuring that the signal frame remains self-describing and portable.

This emitted code was likely working fine until the introduction of 59bec00ace28 ("x86/percpu: Introduce %rip-relative addressing to PER_CPU_VAR()"): it has made the call depth accounting addressing relative to $rip, instead of being based on an absolute address. As this code exact location depends on where the trampoline lives in memory, the corresponding displacement needs to be adjusted at runtime to actually correctly find the per-cpu __x86_call_depth value, otherwise the targeted address is wrong, leading to the page fault seen above.

In order to avoid it, this MSR access needs to be prevented when running virtualized. That is usually done by checking X86_FEATURE_HYPERVISOR but for this particular case it is too early yet. The platform ID needs to be read as early as when microcode is loaded on the BSP: load_ucode_bsp ... -> get_microcode_blob ... -> intel_find_matching_signature and by that time, CPUID leafs haven't been parsed yet. The microcode loader already has logic to check early whether the kernel is running virtualized so make that globally available to arch/x86/. The query whether running virtualized is getting more and more prominent in recent times so might as well make it an arch-global var which the rest of the code can use.

2026-05-20x86/mm: Disable broadcast TLB flush when PCID is disabledTom Lendacky
Booting with "nopcid" clears X86_FEATURE_PCID and keeps CR4.PCIDE from being set to one. On AMD CPUs that support INVLPGB, broadcast TLB flushing remains enabled. There are two checks that decide whether the global ASID code runs, mm_global_asid() and consider_global_asid(), that key off of the X86_FEATURE_INVLPGB feature. Once an mm becomes active on more than three CPUs, consider_global_asid() assigns it a global ASID, after which flush_tlb_mm_range() takes the broadcast_tlb_flush() path using a non-zero PCID. Issuing an INVLPGB with a non-zero PCID while CR4.PCIDE is not set results in a #GP: Oops: general protection fault, kernel NULL pointer dereference 0x1: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI CPU: 158 UID: 0 PID: 3119 Comm: snap Not tainted 7.1.0-rc3 #1 PREEMPT(full) Hardware name: ...

In this situation just disable the broadcast TLB support using the CPUID dependency support by making X86_FEATURE_INVLPGB dependent on X86_FEATURE_PCID.

2026-05-13x86/mce: Restore MCA polling interval halvingBorislav Petkov (AMD)
RongQing reported that the MCA polling interval doesn't halve when an error gets logged. It was traced down to the commit in Fixes:, because: mce_timer_fn() |-> mce_poll_banks() |-> machine_check_poll() |-> mce_log() which will queue the work and return. Now, back in mce_timer_fn(): /* * Alert userspace if needed. If we logged an MCE, reduce the polling * interval, otherwise increase the polling interval. */ if (mce_notify_irq()) <--- here we haven't ran the notifier chain yet so mce_need_notify is not set yet so this won't hit and we won't halve the interval iv. Now the notifier chain runs. mce_early_notifier() sets the bit, does mce_notify_irq(), that clears the bit and then the notifier chain a little later logs the error. So this is a silly timing issue. But, that's all unnecessary. All it needs to happen here is, the "should we notify of a logged MCE" mce_notify_irq() asks, should be simply a question to the mce gen pool: "Are you empty?" And that then turns into a simple yes or no answer and it all JustWorks(tm). So do that and also distribute the functionality where it belongs: - Print that MCE events have been logged in mce_log() - Trigger the mcelog tool specific work in the first notifier As a result, mce_notify_irq() can go now.

The version of purgatory code shipped by kexec-tools attempts to look above the top of its stack to find a return address for a kjump, even in a non-kjump kexec. After the commit in Fixes: the word above the stack might not be there, leading to a fault (which is at least now caught by my exception-handling code in kexec). That commit fixed things for the actual kjump path, but no longer "gratuitously" pushes the unused return address to the stack in the non-kjump path. Put that *back* in the non-kjump path, to prevent purgatory from crashing when trying to access it.

2026-05-07x86/boot/e820: Re-enable BIOS fallback if e820 table is emptyDavid Gow
In commit: 157266edcc56 ("x86/boot/e820: Simplify append_e820_table() and remove restriction on single-entry tables") the check on the number of entries in the e820 table was removed. The intention was to support single-entry maps, but by removing the check entirely, we also skip the fallback (to, e.g., the BIOS 88h function). This means that if no E820 map is passed in from the bootloader (which is the case on some bootloaders, like linld), we end up with an empty memory map, and the kernel fails to boot (either by deadlocking on OOM, or by failing to allocate the real mode trampoline, or similar). Re-instate the check in append_e820_table(), but only check that nr_entries is non-zero. This allows e820__memory_setup_default() to fall back to other memory size sources, and doesn't affect e820__memory_setup_extended(), as the latter ignores the return value from append_e820_table(). In doing so, we also update the return values to be proper error codes, with -ENOENT for this case (there are no entries), and -EINVAL for the case where an entry appears invalid. Given none of the callers check the actual value -- just whether it's nonzero -- this is largely aesthetic in practice. Tested against linld, and the kernel boots again fine.

2026-04-22x86/hyperv: Skip LP/VP creation on kexecJork Loeser
After a kexec the logical processors and virtual processors already exist in the hypervisor because they were created by the previous kernel. Attempting to add them again causes either a BUG_ON or corrupted VP state leading to MCEs in the new kernel. Add hv_lp_exists() to probe whether an LP is already present by calling HVCALL_GET_LOGICAL_PROCESSOR_RUN_TIME. When it succeeds the LP exists and we skip the add-LP and create-VP loops entirely. Also add hv_call_notify_all_processors_started() which informs the hypervisor that all processors are online. This is required after adding LPs (fresh boot) and is a no-op on kexec since we skip that path.

Because kgdb_cpu_enter() is static, the correct public entry point is kgdb_handle_exception(); also fix a pre-existing grammar error ("get them be" -> "get them into") and reflow the text. - kernel/debug/debug_core.c: replace with the generic description "the debug trap handler", since the actual entry path is architecture-specific. - kernel/debug/gdbstub.c: kgdb_cpu_enter() is correct here (it describes internal state, not a call target); add the missing parentheses.

2026-04-20x86/shstk: Prevent deadlock during shstk sigreturnRick Edgecombe
During sigreturn the shadow stack signal frame is popped. The kernel does this by reading the shadow stack using normal read accesses. When it can't assume the memory is shadow stack, it takes extra steps to makes sure it is reading actual shadow stack memory and not other normal readable memory. It does this by holding the mmap read lock while doing the access and checking the flags of the VMA. Unfortunately that is not safe. If the read of the shadow stack sigframe hits a page fault, the fault handler will try to recursively grab another mmap read lock. This normally works ok, but if a writer on another CPU is also waiting, the second read lock could fail and cause a deadlock. Fix this by not holding mmap lock during the read access to userspace. Instead use mmap_lock_speculate_...() to watch for changes between dropping mmap lock and the userspace access. Retry if anything grabbed an mmap write lock in between and could have changed the VMA. These mmap_lock_speculate_...() helpers use mm::mm_lock_seq, which is only available when PER_VMA_LOCK is configured. So make X86_USER_SHADOW_STACK depend on it. On x86, PER_VMA_LOCK is a default configuration for SMP kernels. So drop support for the other configs under the assumption that the !SMP shadow stack user base does not exist. Currently there is a check that skips the lookup work when the SSP can be assumed to be on a shadow stack. While reorganizing the function, remove the optimization to make the tricky code flows more common, such that issues like this cannot escape detection for so long.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini: "Arm: - Add support for tracing in the standalone EL2 hypervisor code, which should help both debugging and performance analysis. This uses the new infrastructure for 'remote' trace buffers that can be exposed by non-kernel entities such as firmware, and which came through the tracing tree - Add support for GICv5 Per Processor Interrupts (PPIs), as the starting point for supporting the new GIC architecture in KVM - Finally add support for pKVM protected guests, where pages are unmapped from the host as they are faulted into the guest and can be shared back from the guest using pKVM hypercalls. Protected guests are created using a new machine type identifier. As the elusive guestmem has not yet delivered on its promises, anonymous memory is also supported This is only a first step towards full isolation from the host; for example, the CPU register state and DMA accesses are not yet isolated. Because this does not really yet bring fully what it promises, it is hidden behind CONFIG_ARM_PKVM_GUEST + 'kvm-arm.mode=protected', and also triggers TAINT_USER when a VM is created. Caveat emptor - Rework the dreaded user_mem_abort() function to make it more maintainable, reducing the amount of state being exposed to the various helpers and rendering a substantial amount of state immutable - Expand the Stage-2 page table dumper to support NV shadow page tables on a per-VM basis - Tidy up the pKVM PSCI proxy code to be slightly less hard to follow - Fix both SPE and TRBE in non-VHE configurations so that they do not generate spurious, out of context table walks that ultimately lead to very bad HW lockups - A small set of patches fixing the Stage-2 MMU freeing in error cases - Tighten-up accepted SMC immediate value to be only #0 for host SMCCC calls - The usual cleanups and other selftest churn LoongArch: - Use CSR_CRMD_PLV for kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel() - Add DMSINTC irqchip in kernel support RISC-V: - Fix steal time shared memory alignment checks - Fix vector context allocation leak - Fix array out-of-bounds in pmu_ctr_read() and pmu_fw_ctr_read_hi() - Fix double-free of sdata in kvm_pmu_clear_snapshot_area() - Fix integer overflow in kvm_pmu_validate_counter_mask() - Fix shift-out-of-bounds in make_xfence_request() - Fix lost write protection on huge pages during dirty logging - Split huge pages during fault handling for dirty logging - Skip CSR restore if VCPU is reloaded on the same core - Implement kvm_arch_has_default_irqchip() for KVM selftests - Factored-out ISA checks into separate sources - Added hideleg to struct kvm_vcpu_config - Factored-out VCPU config into separate sources - Support configuration of per-VM HGATP mode from KVM user space s390: - Support for ESA (31-bit) guests inside nested hypervisors - Remove restriction on memslot alignment, which is not needed anymore with the new gmap code - Fix LPSW/E to update the bear (which of course is the breaking event address register) x86: - Shut up various UBSAN warnings on reading module parameter before they were initialized - Don't zero-allocate page tables that are used for splitting hugepages in the TDP MMU, as KVM is guaranteed to set all SPTEs in the page table and thus write all bytes - As an optimization, bail early when trying to unsync 4KiB mappings if the target gfn can just be mapped with a 2MiB hugepage x86 generic: - Copy single-chunk MMIO write values into struct kvm_vcpu (more precisely struct kvm_mmio_fragment) to fix use-after-free stack bugs where KVM would dereference stack pointer after an exit to userspace - Clean up and comment the emulated MMIO code to try to make it easier to maintain (not necessarily "easy", but "easier") - Move VMXON+VMXOFF and EFER.SVME toggling out of KVM (not *all* of VMX and SVM enabling) as it is needed for trusted I/O - Advertise support for AVX512 Bit Matrix Multiply (BMM) instructions - Immediately fail the build if a required #define is missing in one of KVM's headers that is included multiple times - Reject SET_GUEST_DEBUG with -EBUSY if there's an already injected exception, mostly to prevent syzkaller from abusing the uAPI to trigger WARNs, but also because it can help prevent userspace from unintentionally crashing the VM - Exempt SMM from CPUID faulting on Intel, as per the spec - Misc hardening and cleanup changes x86 (AMD): - Fix and optimize IRQ window inhibit handling for AVIC; make it per-vCPU so that KVM doesn't prematurely re-enable AVIC if multiple vCPUs have to-be-injected IRQs - Clean up and optimize the OSVW handling, avoiding a bug in which KVM would overwrite state when enabling virtualization on multiple CPUs in parallel.

Only set CR2 and DR6 when consumption of the payload is imminent, but on the other hand force delivery of the payload in all paths where userspace retrieves CR2 or DR6 - Use vcpu->arch.cr2 when updating vmcb12's CR2 on nested #VMEXIT instead of vmcb02->save.cr2.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull timer core updates from Thomas Gleixner: - A rework of the hrtimer subsystem to reduce the overhead for frequently armed timers, especially the hrtick scheduler timer: - Better timer locality decision - Simplification of the evaluation of the first expiry time by keeping track of the neighbor timers in the RB-tree by providing a RB-tree variant with neighbor links. That avoids walking the RB-tree on removal to find the next expiry time, but even more important allows to quickly evaluate whether a timer which is rearmed changes the position in the RB-tree with the modified expiry time or not. If not, the dequeue/enqueue sequence which both can end up in rebalancing can be completely avoided. - Deferred reprogramming of the underlying clock event device. This optimizes for the situation where a hrtimer callback sets the need resched bit. In that case the code attempts to defer the re-programming of the clock event device up to the point where the scheduler has picked the next task and has the next hrtick timer armed. In case that there is no immediate reschedule or soft interrupts have to be handled before reaching the reschedule point in the interrupt entry code the clock event is reprogrammed in one of those code paths to prevent that the timer becomes stale. - Support for clocksource coupled clockevents The TSC deadline timer is coupled to the TSC. The next event is programmed in TSC time. Currently this is done by converting the CLOCK_MONOTONIC based expiry value into a relative timeout, converting it into TSC ticks, reading the TSC adding the delta ticks and writing the deadline MSR. As the timekeeping core has the conversion factors for the TSC already, the whole back and forth conversion can be completely avoided. The timekeeping core calculates the reverse conversion factors from nanoseconds to TSC ticks and utilizes the base timestamps of TSC and CLOCK_MONOTONIC which are updated once per tick. This allows a direct conversion into the TSC deadline value without reading the time and as a bonus keeps the deadline conversion in sync with the TSC conversion factors, which are updated by adjtimex() on systems with NTP/PTP enabled. - Allow inlining of the clocksource read and clockevent write functions when they are tiny enough, e.g. on x86 RDTSC and WRMSR. With all those enhancements in place a hrtick enabled scheduler provides the same performance as without hrtick. But also other hrtimer users obviously benefit from these optimizations. - Robustness improvements and cleanups of historical sins in the hrtimer and timekeeping code. - Rewrite of the clocksource watchdog. The clocksource watchdog code has over time reached the state of an impenetrable maze of duct tape and staples. The original design, which was made in the context of systems far smaller than today, is based on the assumption that the to be monitored clocksource (TSC) can be trivially compared against a known to be stable clocksource (HPET/ACPI-PM timer). Over the years this rather naive approach turned out to have major flaws. Long delays between the watchdog invocations can cause wrap arounds of the reference clocksource. The access to the reference clocksource degrades on large multi-sockets systems dure to interconnect congestion. This has been addressed with various heuristics which degraded the accuracy of the watchdog to the point that it fails to detect actual TSC problems on older hardware which exposes slow inter CPU drifts due to firmware manipulating the TSC to hide SMI time. The rewrite addresses this by: - Restricting the validation against the reference clocksource to the boot CPU which is usually closest to the legacy block which contains the reference clocksource (HPET/ACPI-PM). - Do a round robin validation betwen the boot CPU and the other CPUs based only on the TSC with an algorithm similar to the TSC synchronization code during CPU hotplug. - Being more leniant versus remote timeouts - The usual tiny fixes, cleanups and enhancements all over the place * tag 'timers-core-2026-04-12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (75 commits) alarmtimer: Access timerqueue node under lock in suspend hrtimer: Fix incorrect #endif comment for BITS_PER_LONG check posix-timers: Fix stale function name in comment timers: Get this_cpu once while clearing the idle state clocksource: Rewrite watchdog code completely clocksource: Don't use non-continuous clocksources as watchdog x86/tsc: Handle CLOCK_SOURCE_VALID_FOR_HRES correctly MIPS: Don't select CLOCKSOURCE_WATCHDOG parisc: Remove unused clocksource flags hrtimer: Add a helper to retrieve a hrtimer from its timerqueue node hrtimer: Remove trailing comma after HRTIMER_MAX_CLOCK_BASES hrtimer: Mark index and clockid of clock base as const hrtimer: Drop unnecessary pointer indirection in hrtimer_expire_entry event hrtimer: Drop spurious space in 'enum hrtimer_base_type' hrtimer: Don't zero-initialize ret in hrtimer_nanosleep() hrtimer: Remove hrtimer_get_expires_ns() timekeeping: Mark offsets array as const timekeeping/auxclock: Consistently use raw timekeeper for tk_setup_internals() timer_list: Print offset as signed integer tracing: Use explicit array size instead of sentinel elements in symbol printing ...

KVM x86 VMXON and EFER.SVME extraction for 7.1 Move _only_ VMXON+VMXOFF and EFER.SVME toggling out of KVM (versus all of VMX and SVM enabling) out of KVM and into the core kernel so that non-KVM TDX enabling, e.g. for trusted I/O, can make SEAMCALLs without needing to ensure KVM is fully loaded. TIO isn't a hypervisor, and isn't trying to be a hypervisor. Specifically, TIO should _never_ have it's own VMCSes (that are visible to the host; the TDX-Module has it's own VMCSes to do SEAMCALL/SEAMRET), and so there is simply no reason to move that functionality out of KVM. With that out of the way, dealing with VMXON/VMXOFF and EFER.SVME is a fairly simple refcounting game.

2026-04-10Merge branch 'pm-cpufreq'Rafael J. Wysocki
Merge cpufreq updates for 7.1-rc1: - Update qcom-hw DT bindings to include Eliza hardware (Abel Vesa) - Update cpufreq-dt-platdev blocklist (Faruque Ansari) - Minor updates to driver and dt-bindings for Tegra (Thierry Reding, Rosen Penev) - Add MAINTAINERS entry for CPPC driver (Viresh Kumar) - Add support for new features: CPPC performance priority, Dynamic EPP, Raw EPP, and new unit tests for them to amd-pstate (Gautham Shenoy, Mario Limonciello) - Fix sysfs files being present when HW missing and broken/outdated documentation in the amd-pstate driver (Ninad Naik, Gautham Shenoy) - Pass the policy to cpufreq_driver->adjust_perf() to avoid using cpufreq_cpu_get() in the .adjust_perf() callback in amd-pstate which leads to a scheduling-while-atomic bug (K Prateek Nayak) - Clean up dead code in Kconfig for cpufreq (Julian Braha) - Remove max_freq_req update for pre-existing cpufreq policy and add a boost_freq_req QoS request to save the boost constraint instead of overwriting the last scaling_max_freq constraint (Pierre Gondois) - Embed cpufreq QoS freq_req objects in cpufreq policy so they all are allocated in one go along with the policy to simplify lifetime rules and avoid error handling issues (Viresh Kumar) - Use DMI max speed when CPPC is unavailable in the acpi-cpufreq scaling driver (Henry Tseng) - Switch policy_is_shared() in cpufreq to using cpumask_nth() instead of cpumask_weight() because the former is more efficient (Yury Norov) - Use sysfs_emit() in sysfs show functions for cpufreq governor attributes (Thorsten Blum) - Update intel_pstate to stop returning an error when "off" is written to its status sysfs attribute while the driver is already off (Fabio De Francesco) - Include current frequency in the debug message printed by __cpufreq_driver_target() (Pengjie Zhang) * pm-cpufreq: (38 commits) cpufreq/amd-pstate: Add POWER_SUPPLY select for dynamic EPP MAINTAINERS: amd-pstate: Step down as maintainer, add Prateek as reviewer cpufreq: Pass the policy to cpufreq_driver->adjust_perf() cpufreq/amd-pstate: Pass the policy to amd_pstate_update() cpufreq/amd-pstate-ut: Add a unit test for raw EPP cpufreq/amd-pstate: Add support for raw EPP writes cpufreq/amd-pstate: Add support for platform profile class cpufreq/amd-pstate: add kernel command line to override dynamic epp cpufreq/amd-pstate: Add dynamic energy performance preference Documentation: amd-pstate: fix dead links in the reference section cpufreq/amd-pstate: Cache the max frequency in cpudata Documentation/amd-pstate: Add documentation for amd_pstate_floor_{freq,count} Documentation/amd-pstate: List amd_pstate_prefcore_ranking sysfs file Documentation/amd-pstate: List amd_pstate_hw_prefcore sysfs file amd-pstate-ut: Add a testcase to validate the visibility of driver attributes amd-pstate-ut: Add module parameter to select testcases amd-pstate: Introduce a tracepoint trace_amd_pstate_cppc_req2() amd-pstate: Add sysfs support for floor_freq and floor_count amd-pstate: Add support for CPPC_REQ2 and FLOOR_PERF x86/cpufeatures: Add AMD CPPC Performance Priority feature. ...
