x86/shstk: Prevent deadlock during shstk sigreturn
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.

mm: remove CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE
Patch series "mm: remove CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE and cleanup CONFIG_MIGRATION". While working on memory hotplug code cleanups, I realized that CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE is not really required anymore. Changing that revealed some rather nasty looking CONFIG_MIGRATION handling. Let's clean that up by introducing a dedicated CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION option and reducing the dependencies that CONFIG_MIGRATION has. This patch (of 2): All architectures that select CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE also select CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTPLUG. So we can just remove CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE. For CONFIG_MIGRATION, make it depend on CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE instead, and make CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE select CONFIG_MIGRATION (just like CONFIG_CMA and CONFIG_COMPACTION already do). We'll clean up CONFIG_MIGRATION next.

x86/cpu: Remove M486/M486SX/ELAN support
In the x86 architecture we have various complicated hardware emulation facilities on x86-32 to support ancient 32-bit CPUs that very very few people are using with modern kernels. This compatibility glue is sometimes even causing problems that people spend time to resolve, which time could be spent on other things. As Linus recently remarked: > I really get the feeling that it's time to leave i486 support behind. > There's zero real reason for anybody to waste one second of > development effort on this kind of issue. Implement the first step and remove M486/M486SX/ELAN support: CONFIG_M486SX CONFIG_M486 CONFIG_MELAN [ There's no recent M486=y kernel package for any mainstream x86 32-bit distribution available that I've been able to find, so actual users should not be impacted, and any legacy users can keep using older kernels. ] Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Acked-by: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Ahmed S.

x86/fred: Enable FRED by default
When FRED was added to the mainline kernel, it was set up as an explicit opt-in due to the risk of regressions before hardware was available publicly. Now, Panther Lake (Core Ultra 300 series) has been released, and benchmarking by Phoronix has shown that it provides a significant performance benefit on most workloads: https://www.phoronix.com/review/intel-fred-panther-lake Accordingly, enable FRED by default if the CPU supports it. FRED can of course still be disabled via the fred=off command line option. Touch up Kconfig help too. Signed-off-by: H.

x86/apic: Enable TSC coupled programming mode
The TSC deadline timer is directly coupled to the TSC and setting the next deadline is tedious as the clockevents core code converts the CLOCK_MONOTONIC based absolute expiry time to a relative expiry by reading the current time from the TSC. It converts that delta to cycles and hands the result to lapic_next_deadline(), which then has read to the TSC and add the delta to program the timer. The core code now supports coupled clock event devices and can provide the expiry time in TSC cycles directly without reading the TSC at all. This obviouly works only when the TSC is the current clocksource, but that's the default for all modern CPUs which implement the TSC deadline timer. If the TSC is not the current clocksource (e.g. early boot) then the core code falls back to the relative set_next_event() callback as before.

mm: make PT_RECLAIM depends on MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE
The PT_RECLAIM can work on all architectures that support MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE, except for those that have selected HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE,so make PT_RECLAIM depends on MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE && !HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE.

bpf,x86: Use single ftrace_ops for direct calls
Using single ftrace_ops for direct calls update instead of allocating ftrace_ops object for each trampoline. With single ftrace_ops object we can use update_ftrace_direct_* api that allows multiple ip sites updates on single ftrace_ops object. Adding HAVE_SINGLE_FTRACE_DIRECT_OPS config option to be enabled on each arch that supports this. At the moment we can enable this only on x86 arch, because arm relies on ftrace_ops object representing just single trampoline image (stored in ftrace_ops::direct_call). Archs that do not support this will continue to use *_ftrace_direct api.

mm: introduce CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_LAZY_MMU_MODE
Architectures currently opt in for implementing lazy_mmu helpers by defining __HAVE_ARCH_ENTER_LAZY_MMU_MODE. In preparation for introducing a generic lazy_mmu layer that will require storage in task_struct, let's switch to a cleaner approach: instead of defining a macro, select a CONFIG option. This patch introduces CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_LAZY_MMU_MODE and has each arch select it when it implements lazy_mmu helpers. __HAVE_ARCH_ENTER_LAZY_MMU_MODE is removed and <linux/pgtable.h> relies on the new CONFIG instead. On x86, lazy_mmu helpers are only implemented if PARAVIRT_XXL is selected. This creates some complications in arch/x86/boot/, because a few files manually undefine PARAVIRT* options. As a result <asm/paravirt.h> does not define the lazy_mmu helpers, but this breaks the build as <linux/pgtable.h> only defines them if !CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_LAZY_MMU_MODE. There does not seem to be a clean way out of this - let's just undefine that new CONFIG too.

x86/resctrl: Read telemetry events
Introduce intel_aet_read_event() to read telemetry events for resource RDT_RESOURCE_PERF_PKG. There may be multiple aggregators tracking each package, so scan all of them and add up all counters. Aggregators may return an invalid data indication if they have received no records for a given RMID. The user will see "Unavailable" if none of the aggregators on a package provide valid counts. Resctrl now uses readq() so depends on X86_64. Update Kconfig.

x86/resctrl: Discover hardware telemetry events
Each CPU collects data for telemetry events that it sends to the nearest
telemetry event aggregator either when the value of MSR_IA32_PQR_ASSOC.RMID
changes, or when a two millisecond timer expires.
There is a feature type ("energy" or "perf"), GUID, and MMIO region associated
with each aggregator. This combination links to an XML description of the
set of telemetry events tracked by the aggregator. XML files are published
by Intel in a GitHub repository¹.
The telemetry event aggregators maintain per-RMID per-event counts of the
total seen for all the CPUs. There may be multiple telemetry event aggregators
per package.
There are separate sets of aggregators for each feature type. Aggregators
in a set may have different GUIDs. All aggregators with the same feature
type and GUID are symmetric keeping counts for the same set of events for
the CPUs that provide data to them.
The XML file for each aggregator provides the following information:
0) Feature type of the events ("perf" or "energy")
1) Which telemetry events are tracked by the aggregator.
2) The order in which the event counters appear for each RMID.
3) The value type of each event counter (integer or fixed-point).
4) The number of RMIDs supported.
5) Which additional aggregator status registers are included.
6) The total size of the MMIO region for an aggregator.
Introduce struct event_group that condenses the relevant information from
an XML file. Hereafter an "event group" refers to a group of events of a
particular feature type (event_group::pfname set to "energy" or "perf") with
a particular GUID.
Use event_group::pfname to determine the feature id needed to obtain the
aggregator details. It will later be used in console messages and with the
rdt= boot parameter.
The INTEL_PMT_TELEMETRY driver enumerates support for telemetry events.
This driver provides intel_pmt_get_regions_by_feature() to list all available
telemetry event aggregators of a given feature type. The list includes the
"guid", the base address in MMIO space for the region where the event counters
are exposed, and the package id where the all the CPUs that report to this
aggregator are located.
Call INTEL_PMT_TELEMETRY's intel_pmt_get_regions_by_feature() for each event
group to obtain a private copy of that event group's aggregator data. Duplicate
the aggregator data between event groups that have the same feature type
but different GUID. Further processing on this private copy will be unique
to the event group.

x86/tsx: Set default TSX mode to auto
At SUSE we've been releasing our kernels with TSX enabled for the past 6 years and some customers have started to rely on it. Furthermore, the last known vulnerability concerning TSX was TAA (CVE-2019-11135) and a significant amount time has passed since then without anyone reporting any issues. Intel has released numerous processors which do not have the TAA vulnerability (Cooper/Ice Lake, Sapphire/Emerald/Granite Rappids) yet TSX remains being disabled by default. The main aim of this patch is to reduce the divergence between SUSE's configuration and the upstream by switching the default TSX mode to auto. I believe this strikes the right balance between keeping it enabled where appropriate (i.e every machine which doesn't contain the TAA vulnerability) and disabling it preventively.

Core kernel bug handling infrastructure changes for v6.19:
- Improve WARN(), which has vararg printf like arguments,
to work with the x86 #UD based WARN-optimizing infrastructure
by hiding the format in the bug_table and replacing this
first argument with the address of the bug-table entry,
while making the actual function that's called a UD1 instruction.
(Peter Zijlstra)
- Introduce the CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE_DETAILED Kconfig switch
(Ingo Molnar, s390 support by Heiko Carstens)
Fixes and cleanups:
- bugs/s390: Remove private WARN_ON() implementation (Heiko Carstens)
- <asm/bugs.h>: Make i386 use GENERIC_BUG_RELATIVE_POINTERS

x86/ftrace: Implement DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_JMP
Implement the DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_JMP for x86_64. In ftrace_call_replace,
we will use JMP32_INSN_OPCODE instead of CALL_INSN_OPCODE if the address
should use "jmp".
Meanwhile, adjust the direct call in the ftrace_regs_caller. The RSB is
balanced in the "jmp" mode. Take the function "foo" for example:
original_caller:
call foo -> foo:
call fentry -> fentry:
[do ftrace callbacks ]
move tramp_addr to stack
RET -> tramp_addr
tramp_addr:
[..]
call foo_body -> foo_body:
[..]
RET -> back to tramp_addr
[..]
RET -> back to original_caller

iommu/sva: invalidate stale IOTLB entries for kernel address space
Introduce a new IOMMU interface to flush IOTLB paging cache entries for the CPU kernel address space. This interface is invoked from the x86 architecture code that manages combined user and kernel page tables, specifically before any kernel page table page is freed and reused. This addresses the main issue with vfree() which is a common occurrence and can be triggered by unprivileged users. While this resolves the primary problem, it doesn't address some extremely rare case related to memory unplug of memory that was present as reserved memory at boot, which cannot be triggered by unprivileged users. The discussion can be found at the link below. Enable SVA on x86 architecture since the IOMMU can now receive notification to flush the paging cache before freeing the CPU kernel page table pages.

Pull x86 TDX updates from Dave Hansen:
"The biggest change here is making TDX and kexec play nicely together.
Before this, the memory encryption hardware (which doesn't respect
cache coherency) could write back old cachelines on top of data in the
new kernel, so kexec and TDX were made mutually exclusive. This
removes the limitation.
There is also some work to tighten up a hardware bug workaround and
some MAINTAINERS updates.
- Make TDX and kexec work together

Summary of significant series in this pull request:
- The 3 patch series "mm, swap: improve cluster scan strategy" from Kairui Song improves performance and reduces the failure rate of swap cluster allocation. - The 4 patch series "support large align and nid in Rust allocators" from Vitaly Wool permits Rust allocators to set NUMA node and large alignment when perforning slub and vmalloc reallocs. - The 2 patch series "mm/damon/vaddr: support stat-purpose DAMOS" from Yueyang Pan extend DAMOS_STAT's handling of the DAMON operations sets for virtual address spaces for ops-level DAMOS filters. - The 3 patch series "execute PROCMAP_QUERY ioctl under per-vma lock" from Suren Baghdasaryan reduces mmap_lock contention during reads of /proc/pid/maps. - The 2 patch series "mm/mincore: minor clean up for swap cache checking" from Kairui Song performs some cleanup in the swap code. - The 11 patch series "mm: vm_normal_page*() improvements" from David Hildenbrand provides code cleanup in the pagemap code. - The 5 patch series "add persistent huge zero folio support" from Pankaj Raghav provides a block layer speedup by optionalls making the huge_zero_pagepersistent, instead of releasing it when its refcount falls to zero. - The 3 patch series "kho: fixes and cleanups" from Mike Rapoport adds a few touchups to the recently added Kexec Handover feature. - The 10 patch series "mm: make mm->flags a bitmap and 64-bit on all arches" from Lorenzo Stoakes turns mm_struct.flags into a bitmap. To end the constant struggle with space shortage on 32-bit conflicting with 64-bit's needs. - The 2 patch series "mm/swapfile.c and swap.h cleanup" from Chris Li cleans up some swap code. - The 7 patch series "selftests/mm: Fix false positives and skip unsupported tests" from Donet Tom fixes a few things in our selftests code. - The 7 patch series "prctl: extend PR_SET_THP_DISABLE to only provide THPs when advised" from David Hildenbrand "allows individual processes to opt-out of THP=always into THP=madvise, without affecting other workloads on the system". It's a long story - the [1/N] changelog spells out the considerations. - The 11 patch series "Add and use memdesc_flags_t" from Matthew Wilcox gets us started on the memdesc project. Please see https://kernelnewbies.org/MatthewWilcox/Memdescs and https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/post/introducing-memdesc. - The 3 patch series "Tiny optimization for large read operations" from Chi Zhiling improves the efficiency of the pagecache read path. - The 5 patch series "Better split_huge_page_test result check" from Zi Yan improves our folio splitting selftest code. - The 2 patch series "test that rmap behaves as expected" from Wei Yang adds some rmap selftests. - The 3 patch series "remove write_cache_pages()" from Christoph Hellwig removes that function and converts its two remaining callers. - The 2 patch series "selftests/mm: uffd-stress fixes" from Dev Jain fixes some UFFD selftests issues. - The 3 patch series "introduce kernel file mapped folios" from Boris Burkov introduces the concept of "kernel file pages". Using these permits btrfs to account its metadata pages to the root cgroup, rather than to the cgroups of random inappropriate tasks. - The 2 patch series "mm/pageblock: improve readability of some pageblock handling" from Wei Yang provides some readability improvements to the page allocator code. - The 11 patch series "mm/damon: support ARM32 with LPAE" from SeongJae Park teaches DAMON to understand arm32 highmem. - The 4 patch series "tools: testing: Use existing atomic.h for vma/maple tests" from Brendan Jackman performs some code cleanups and deduplication under tools/testing/. - The 2 patch series "maple_tree: Fix testing for 32bit compiles" from Liam Howlett fixes a couple of 32-bit issues in tools/testing/radix-tree.c. - The 2 patch series "kasan: unify kasan_enabled() and remove arch-specific implementations" from Sabyrzhan Tasbolatov moves KASAN arch-specific initialization code into a common arch-neutral implementation. - The 3 patch series "mm: remove zpool" from Johannes Weiner removes zspool - an indirection layer which now only redirects to a single thing (zsmalloc). - The 2 patch series "mm: task_stack: Stack handling cleanups" from Pasha Tatashin makes a couple of cleanups in the fork code. - The 37 patch series "mm: remove nth_page()" from David Hildenbrand makes rather a lot of adjustments at various nth_page() callsites, eventually permitting the removal of that undesirable helper function. - The 2 patch series "introduce kasan.write_only option in hw-tags" from Yeoreum Yun creates a KASAN read-only mode for ARM, using that architecture's memory tagging feature. It is felt that a read-only mode KASAN is suitable for use in production systems rather than debug-only. - The 3 patch series "mm: hugetlb: cleanup hugetlb folio allocation" from Kefeng Wang does some tidying in the hugetlb folio allocation code. - The 12 patch series "mm: establish const-correctness for pointer parameters" from Max Kellermann makes quite a number of the MM API functions more accurate about the constness of their arguments. This was getting in the way of subsystems (in this case CEPH) when they attempt to improving their own const/non-const accuracy. - The 7 patch series "Cleanup free_pages() misuse" from Vishal Moola fixes a number of code sites which were confused over when to use free_pages() vs __free_pages(). - The 3 patch series "Add Rust abstraction for Maple Trees" from Alice Ryhl makes the mapletree code accessible to Rust.

A set of changes to consolidate the generic TIF bits accross architectures
All architectures define the same set of generic TIF bits. This makes it pointlessly hard to add a new generic TIF bit or to change an existing one. Provide a generic variant and convert the architectures which utilize the generic entry code over to use it. The TIF space is divided into 16 generic bits and 16 architecture specific bits, which turned out to provide enough space on both sides. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJHBAABCgAxFiEEQp8+kY+LLUocC4bMphj1TA10mKEFAmjaP78THHRnbHhAbGlu dXRyb25peC5kZQAKCRCmGPVMDXSYoTKyD/9NEg3DiN6aM959o1MhvhDk7jNdECXm QOvZ85wJYhCv3Pb7RSgMxJL/dR9aWV2b24TSzEeki0awbR4nPeUz82vExmgS7rWX 9rQLPrOZsrYd76IcAVoV5Ua/g48c+9TM8kLzoZFa9JEYMPmyTEiA3gy4bgab/aov L2b903ZrCNkWRKM1Wz5V8xdyPEzhE+cLhbWoPbeCqfzxqbv4+WWKQlPmqamQw+yq /61Xhq0tmx3+4hn1IB/Rc8yMTbAK0EwN7SHM+l7yaJ3ijlkGSele4S3mKAHv2I3c vODIFwdQ8pRbC1C5eMBnUKRm7Cmf+8CB3m+OIA5ghj10TPFiTUzQ6iG6nUSVniJm QB21LHYSWroeQBRibnT5k7RiW5QjtTQmcsjvO7S2rZ/7CkMr7LMu6kN1P0TSiOvc SKxs3MO72KaRU/JrEjLqvT2tvdpg2hpffg69U0jA1xCeFULE1jrqo3GwL8dPDk7z zKbC73JNg4QJDdi+hIn5nl0fRGVszLzkDum5eyCpCLY/W7BSiQ7q/ayzt9upsSOm uc7sqeIgelQMRDMoMNcQUsMnApT0JHOS74WQ03SfahZESj8eFoOb8pr7vaqu4lfi 6LV4fpwZPBTMDcQ36r2JLuUTqHNHNtWn4xXjQ72ngovIVUL9A2H0DqK+1JhLJ6yX tknZ9WVmWVf+JQ== =6L98 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'core-core-2025-09-29' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull TIF bit unification updates from Thomas Gleixner: "A set of changes to consolidate the generic TIF (thread info flag) bits accross architectures.

- Add functionality to provide runtime firmware updates for the non-x86 parts
of an AMD platform like the security processor (ASP) firmware, modules etc, for example. The intent being that these updates are interim, live fixups before a proper BIOS update can be attempted - Add guest support for AMD's Secure AVIC feature which gives encrypted guests the needed protection against a malicious hypervisor generating unexpected interrupts and injecting them into such guest, thus interfering with its operation in an unexpected and negative manner. The advantage of this scheme is that the guest determines which interrupts and when to accept them vs leaving that to the benevolence (or not) of the hypervisor - Strictly separate the startup code from the rest of the kernel where former is executed from the initial 1:1 mapping of memory. The problem was that the toolchain-generated version of the code was being executed from a different mapping of memory than what was "assumed" during code generation, needing an ever-growing pile of fixups for absolute memory references which are invalid in the early, 1:1 memory mapping during boot.

The intent being that these updates are interim, live fixups before a proper BIOS update can be attempted - Add guest support for AMD's Secure AVIC feature which gives encrypted guests the needed protection against a malicious hypervisor generating unexpected interrupts and injecting them into such guest, thus interfering with its operation in an unexpected and negative manner. The advantage of this scheme is that the guest determines which interrupts and when to accept them vs leaving that to the benevolence (or not) of the hypervisor - Strictly separate the startup code from the rest of the kernel where former is executed from the initial 1:1 mapping of memory. The problem was that the toolchain-generated version of the code was being executed from a different mapping of memory than what was "assumed" during code generation, needing an ever-growing pile of fixups for absolute memory references which are invalid in the early, 1:1 memory mapping during boot.

Pull hardening updates from Kees Cook:
"One notable addition is the creation of the 'transitional' keyword for
kconfig so CONFIG renaming can go more smoothly.
This has been a long-standing deficiency, and with the renaming of
CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI (since GCC will soon have KCFI
support), this came up again.
The breadth of the diffstat is mainly this renaming.

kcfi: Rename CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI
The kernel's CFI implementation uses the KCFI ABI specifically, and is not strictly tied to a particular compiler. In preparation for GCC supporting KCFI, rename CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI (along with associated options). Use new "transitional" Kconfig option for old CONFIG_CFI_CLANG that will enable CONFIG_CFI during olddefconfig.

x86/cpu: Detect FreeBSD Bhyve hypervisor
Detect the Bhyve hypervisor and enable 15-bit MSI support if available.
Detecting Bhyve used to be a purely cosmetic issue of the kernel printing
'Hypervisor detected: Bhyve' at boot time.
But FreeBSD 15.0 will support¹ the 15-bit MSI enlightenment to support
more than 255 vCPUs (http://david.woodhou.se/ExtDestId.pdf) which means
there's now actually some functional reason to do so.

x86/virt/tdx: Remove the !KEXEC_CORE dependency
During kexec it is now guaranteed that all dirty cachelines of TDX private memory are flushed before jumping to the new kernel. The TDX private memory from the old kernel will remain as TDX private memory in the new kernel, but it is OK because kernel read/write to TDX private memory will never cause machine check, except on the platforms with the TDX partial write erratum, which has already been handled. It is safe to allow kexec to work together with TDX now. Remove the !KEXEC_CORE dependency.
