Borislav Petkov (AMD)andIngo Molnar 80501dff81 Documentation/arch/x86: Hide clearcpuid=
This option was never meant to be used in production because it solely
clears the X86_FEATURE kernel-internal representation of what CPUID bits
it has detected and doesn't do any *proper* feature disablement like
clearing CR4.CET in the user shadow stack case, for example.

So remove its documentation so that it doesn't get used in production
and people get silly ideas. It is meant strictly for debugging; and if
a chicken bit for properly disabling a feature is warranted, then that
would need proper enablement.

No functional changes.

Armin WolfandIlpo Järvinen 26cbe119f9 platform/x86: uniwill-laptop: Do not enable the charging limit even when forced
It seems that on some older models (~2020) the battery charging limit
can permanently damage the battery. Prevent users from enabling this

Ricardo NeriandRafael J. Wysocki ee047fc7a2 Documentation: intel_pstate: Fix description of asymmetric packing with SMT
Patchset [1], including commits

 046a5a95c3 ("x86/sched/itmt: Give all SMT siblings of a core the same priority")
 995998ebde ("x86/sched: Remove SD_ASYM_PACKING from the SMT domain flags")

overhauled asym_packing handling in the scheduler on x86 hybrid
processors with SMT. It removed SD_ASYM_PACKING from the x86 SMT
scheduling domain and made all SMT siblings of a core share the same
priority. As a result, asym_packing operates only across physical
cores, spreading tasks among them and only using idle SMT siblings
once all physical cores are busy.

Fix the documentation to reflect this behavior.

Linus Torvalds 11f00074f7 Merge tag 'cgroup-for-7.1-rc2-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo:

 - During v6.19, cgroup task unlink was moved from do_exit() to after the
   final task switch to satisfy a controller invariant. That left the kernel
   seeing tasks past exit_signals() longer than userspace expected, and
   several v7.0 follow-ups tried to bridge the gap by making rmdir wait for
   the kernel side. None held up.

   The latest is an A-A deadlock when rmdir is invoked by the reaper of
   zombies whose pidns teardown the rmdir itself is waiting on, which
   points at the synchronizing approach being fundamentally wrong.

   Take a different approach: drop the wait, leave rmdir's user-visible
   side returning as soon as cgroup.procs is empty, and defer the css
   percpu_ref kill that drives ->css_offline() until the cgroup is fully
   depopulated.

   Tagged for stable. Somewhat invasive but contained. The hope is that
   fixing forward sticks. If not, the fallback is to revert the entire
   chain and rework on the development branch.

   Note that this doesn't plug a pre-existing analogous race in
   cgroup_apply_control_disable() (controller disable via
   subtree_control). Not a regression. The development branch will do
   the more invasive restructuring needed for that.

 - Documentation update for cgroup-v1 charge-commit section that still
   referenced functions removed when the memcg hugetlb try-commit-cancel
   protocol was retired.

Pull networking deletions from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Delete some obsolete networking code

  Old code like amateur radio and NFC have long been a burden to core
  networking developers. syzbot loves to find bugs in BKL-era code, and
  noobs try to fix them.

  If we want to have a fighting chance of surviving the LLM-pocalypse
  this code needs to find a dedicated owner or get deleted. We've talked
  about these deletions multiple times in the past and every time
  someone wanted the code to stay. It is never very clear to me how many
  of those people actually use the code vs are just nostalgic to see it
  go. Amateur radio did have occasional users (or so I think) but most
  users switched to user space implementations since its all super slow
  stuff. Nobody stepped up to maintain the kernel code.

  We were lucky enough to find someone who wants to help with NFC so
  we're giving that a chance. Let's try to put the rest of this code
  behind us"

Jakub Kicinski dd8d4bc28a net: remove ax25 and amateur radio (hamradio) subsystem
Remove the amateur radio (AX.25, NET/ROM, ROSE) protocol implementation
and all associated hamradio device drivers from the kernel tree.
This set of protocols has long been a huge bug/syzbot magnet,
and since nobody stepped up to help us deal with the influx
of the AI-generated bug reports we need to move it out of tree
to protect our sanity.

The code is moved to an out-of-tree repo:
https://github.com/linux-netdev/mod-orphan
if it's cleaned up and reworked there we can accept it back.

Minimal stub headers are kept for include/net/ax25.h (AX25_P_IP,
AX25_ADDR_LEN, ax25_address) and include/net/rose.h (ROSE_ADDR_LEN)
so that the conditional integration code in arp.c and tun.c continues
to compile and work when the out-of-tree modules are loaded.

Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever:

 - filehandle signing to defend against filehandle-guessing attacks
   (Benjamin Coddington)

   The server now appends a SipHash-2-4 MAC to each filehandle when
   the new "sign_fh" export option is enabled. NFSD then verifies
   filehandles received from clients against the expected MAC;
   mismatches return NFS error STALE

 - convert the entire NLMv4 server-side XDR layer from hand-written C to
   xdrgen-generated code, spanning roughly thirty patches (Chuck Lever)

   XDR functions are generally boilerplate code and are easy to get
   wrong. The goals of this conversion are improved memory safety, lower
   maintenance burden, and groundwork for eventual Rust code generation
   for these functions.

 - improve pNFS block/SCSI layout robustness with two related changes
   (Dai Ngo)

   SCSI persistent reservation fencing is now tracked per client and
   per device via an xarray, to avoid both redundant preempt operations
   on devices already fenced and a potential NFSD deadlock when all nfsd
   threads are waiting for a layout return.

 - scalability and infrastructure improvements

SeongJae ParkandAndrew Morton 0c13ed77dd Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/lru_sort: warn commit_inputs vs param updates race
DAMON_LRU_SORT handles commit_inputs request inside kdamond thread,
reading the module parameters.  If the user updates the module
parameters while the kdamond thread is reading those, races can happen.
To avoid this, the commit_inputs parameter shows whether it is still in
the progress, assuming users wouldn't update parameters in the middle of
the work.  Some users might ignore that.  Add a warning about the
behavior.

The issue was discovered in [1] by sashiko.

SeongJae ParkandAndrew Morton 0beba407d4 Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/reclaim: warn commit_inputs vs param updates race
Patch series "Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon: warn commit_inputs vs other
params race".

Writing 'Y' to the commit_inputs parameter of DAMON_RECLAIM and
DAMON_LRU_SORT, and writing other parameters before the commit_inputs
request is completely processed can cause race conditions.  While the
consequence can be bad, the documentation is not clearly describing that. 
Add clear warnings.

The issue was discovered [1,2] by sashiko.

Since kho_add_subtree() now accepts arbitrary data blobs (not just FDTs),
rename the parameter from 'fdt' to 'blob' to better reflect its purpose. 
Apply the same rename to kho_remove_subtree() for consistency.

Also rename kho_debugfs_fdt_add() and kho_debugfs_fdt_remove() to
kho_debugfs_blob_add() and kho_debugfs_blob_remove() respectively, with

Linus Torvalds 01f492e181 Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
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. This should not be a problem because OSVW should
     usually be the same for all CPUs

   - Drop a WARN in KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION where KVM complains
     about a "too large" size based purely on user input

   - Clean up and harden the pinning code for KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION

   - Disallow synchronizing a VMSA of an already-launched/encrypted
     vCPU, as doing so for an SNP guest will crash the host due to an
     RMP violation page fault

   - Overhaul KVM's APIs for detecting SEV+ guests so that VM-scoped
     queries are required to hold kvm->lock, and enforce it by lockdep.
     Fix various bugs where sev_guest() was not ensured to be stable for
     the whole duration of a function or ioctl

   - Convert a pile of kvm->lock SEV code to guard()

   - Play nicer with userspace that does not enable
     KVM_CAP_EXCEPTION_PAYLOAD, for which KVM needs to set CR2 and DR6
     as a response to ioctls such as KVM_GET_VCPU_EVENTS (even if the
     payload would end up in EXITINFO2 rather than CR2, for example).
     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. The value is out of sync after a
     save/restore or after a #PF is injected into L2

   - Fix a class of nSVM bugs where some fields written by the CPU are
     not synchronized from vmcb02 to cached vmcb12 after VMRUN, and so
     are not up-to-date when saved by KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE

   - Fix a class of bugs where the ordering between KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE
     and KVM_SET_{S}REGS could cause vmcb02 to be incorrectly
     initialized after save+restore

   - Add a variety of missing nSVM consistency checks

   - Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly update VMCB fields
     on nested #VMEXIT

   - Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly synthesize #UD or
     #GP for SVM-related instructions

   - Add support for save+restore of virtualized LBRs (on SVM)

   - Refactor various helpers and macros to improve clarity and
     (hopefully) make the code easier to maintain

   - Aggressively sanitize fields when copying from vmcb12, to guard
     against unintentionally allowing L1 to utilize yet-to-be-defined
     features

   - Fix several bugs where KVM botched rAX legality checks when
     emulating SVM instructions. There are remaining issues in that KVM
     doesn't handle size prefix overrides for 64-bit guests

   - Fail emulation of VMRUN/VMLOAD/VMSAVE if mapping vmcb12 fails
     instead of somewhat arbitrarily synthesizing #GP (i.e. don't double
     down on AMD's architectural but sketchy behavior of generating #GP
     for "unsupported" addresses)

   - Cache all used vmcb12 fields to further harden against TOCTOU bugs

  x86 (Intel):

   - Drop obsolete branch hint prefixes from the VMX instruction macros

   - Use ASM_INPUT_RM() in __vmcs_writel() to coerce clang into using a
     register input when appropriate

   - Code cleanups

  guest_memfd:

   - Don't mark guest_memfd folios as accessed, as guest_memfd doesn't
     support reclaim, the memory is unevictable, and there is no storage
     to write back to

  LoongArch selftests:

   - Add KVM PMU test cases

  s390 selftests:

   - Enable more memory selftests

  x86 selftests:

   - Add support for Hygon CPUs in KVM selftests

   - Fix a bug in the MSR test where it would get false failures on
     AMD/Hygon CPUs with exactly one of RDPID or RDTSCP

   - Add an MADV_COLLAPSE testcase for guest_memfd as a regression test
     for a bug where the kernel would attempt to collapse guest_memfd
     folios against KVM's will"

 - "cleanup the RAID5 XOR library" (Christoph Hellwig)

   A quite far-reaching cleanup to this code. I can't do better than to
   quote Christoph:

     "The XOR library used for the RAID5 parity is a bit of a mess right
      now. The main file sits in crypto/ despite not being cryptography
      and not using the crypto API, with the generic implementations
      sitting in include/asm-generic and the arch implementations
      sitting in an asm/ header in theory. The latter doesn't work for
      many cases, so architectures often build the code directly into
      the core kernel, or create another module for the architecture
      code.

      Change this to a single module in lib/ that also contains the
      architecture optimizations, similar to the library work Eric
      Biggers has done for the CRC and crypto libraries later. After
      that it changes to better calling conventions that allow for
      smarter architecture implementations (although none is contained
      here yet), and uses static_call to avoid indirection function call
      overhead"
