Some platforms may be configured to not support notification events from
certain sources. This scenario is already handled gracefully by avoiding
any attempt to send a notification enable request for those sources, as
such requests would inevitably fail.
However, in a more extreme case, a platform might not support even a
single source for a given event type. In this situation, allowing
notifier registration is meaningless. Attempting to register a notifier
would serve no purpose and only result in unnecessary overhead.
To address this, we now detect such conditions during the protocol
initialization. When identified, we flag the unsupported event types and
reject any subsequent notifier registration attempts for them with
-ENOTSUPP. This early rejection avoids redundant processing and
simplifies runtime logic.

While BRBE can record branches within guests, the host recording
branches in guests is not supported by perf (though events are).
Support for BRBE in guests will supported by providing direct access
to BRBE within the guests. That is how x86 LBR works for guests.
Therefore, BRBE needs to be disabled on guest entry and restored on
exit.
For nVHE, this requires explicit handling for guests. Before
entering a guest, save the BRBE state and disable the it. When
returning to the host, restore the state.
For VHE, it is not necessary. We initialize
BRBCR_EL1.{E1BRE,E0BRE}=={0,0} at boot time, and HCR_EL2.TGE==1 while
running in the host. We configure BRBCR_EL2.{E2BRE,E0HBRE} to enable
branch recording in the host. When entering the guest, we set
HCR_EL2.TGE==0 which means BRBCR_EL1 is used instead of BRBCR_EL2.
Consequently for VHE, BRBE recording is disabled at EL1 and EL0 when
running a guest.
Should recording in guests (by the host) ever be desired, the perf ABI
will need to be extended to distinguish guest addresses (struct
perf_branch_entry.priv) for starters. BRBE records would also need to be
invalidated on guest entry/exit as guest/host EL1 and EL0 records can't
be distinguished.

To use the Branch Record Buffer Extension (BRBE), some configuration is
necessary at EL3 and EL2. This patch documents the requirements and adds
the initial EL2 setup code, which largely consists of configuring the
fine-grained traps and initializing a couple of BRBE control registers.
Before this patch, __init_el2_fgt() would initialize HDFGRTR_EL2 and
HDFGWTR_EL2 with the same value, relying on the read/write trap controls
for a register occupying the same bit position in either register. The
'nBRBIDR' trap control only exists in bit 59 of HDFGRTR_EL2, while bit
59 of HDFGWTR_EL2 is RES0, and so this assumption no longer holds.
To handle HDFGRTR_EL2 and HDFGWTR_EL2 having (slightly) different bit
layouts, __init_el2_fgt() is changed to accumulate the HDFGRTR_EL2 and
HDFGWTR_EL2 control bits separately. While making this change the
open-coded value (1 << 62) is replaced with
HDFG{R,W}TR_EL2_nPMSNEVFR_EL1_MASK.
The BRBCR_EL1 and BRBCR_EL2 registers are unusual and require special
initialisation: even though they are subject to E2H renaming, both have
an effect regardless of HCR_EL2.TGE, even when running at EL2. So we
must initialize BRBCR_EL2 in case we run in nVHE mode. This is handled
in __init_el2_brbe() with a comment to explain the situation.

any other references from "emac0" to "gmac0".
When support of the hardware was introduced, the name chosen was
"EMAC", which followed previous generations. However the datasheets

Syzkaller reported a bug [1] where sk->sk_forward_alloc can overflow.
When we send data, if an skb exists at the tail of the write queue, the
kernel will attempt to append the new data to that skb. However, the code
that checks for available space in the skb is flawed:
'''
copy = size_goal - skb->len
'''
The types of the variables involved are:
'''
copy: ssize_t (s64 on 64-bit systems)
size_goal: int
skb->len: unsigned int
'''
Due to C's type promotion rules, the signed size_goal is converted to an
unsigned int to match skb->len before the subtraction. The result is an
unsigned int.
When this unsigned int result is then assigned to the s64 copy variable,
it is zero-extended, preserving its non-negative value. Consequently, copy
is always >= 0.
Assume we are sending 2GB of data and size_goal has been adjusted to a
value smaller than skb->len. The subtraction will result in copy holding a
very large positive integer. In the subsequent logic, this large value is
used to update sk->sk_forward_alloc, which can easily cause it to overflow.
The syzkaller reproducer uses TCP_REPAIR to reliably create this
condition. However, this can also occur in real-world scenarios. The
tcp_bound_to_half_wnd() function can also reduce size_goal to a small
value. This would cause the subsequent tcp_wmem_schedule() to set
sk->sk_forward_alloc to a value close to INT_MAX. Further memory
allocation requests would then cause sk_forward_alloc to wrap around and
become negative.

When sysctl_nr_open is set to a very high value (for example, 1073741816
as set by systemd), processes attempting to use file descriptors near
the limit can trigger massive memory allocation attempts that exceed
INT_MAX, resulting in a WARNING in mm/slub.c:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 44 at mm/slub.c:5027 __kvmalloc_node_noprof+0x21a/0x288
This happens because kvmalloc_array() and kvmalloc() check if the
requested size exceeds INT_MAX and emit a warning when the allocation is
not flagged with __GFP_NOWARN.
Specifically, when nr_open is set to 1073741816 (0x3ffffff8) and a
process calls dup2(oldfd, 1073741880), the kernel attempts to allocate:
- File descriptor array: 1073741880 * 8 bytes = 8,589,935,040 bytes
- Multiple bitmaps: ~400MB
- Total allocation size: > 8GB (exceeding INT_MAX = 2,147,483,647)
Reproducer:
1. Set /proc/sys/fs/nr_open to 1073741816:
# echo 1073741816 > /proc/sys/fs/nr_open
2. Run a program that uses a high file descriptor:
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/resource.h>
int main() {
struct rlimit rlim = {1073741824, 1073741824};
setrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE, &rlim);
dup2(2, 1073741880); // Triggers the warning
return 0;
}
3. Observe WARNING in dmesg at mm/slub.c:5027
systemd commit a8b627a introduced automatic bumping of fs.nr_open to the
maximum possible value. The rationale was that systems with memory
control groups (memcg) no longer need separate file descriptor limits
since memory is properly accounted. However, this change overlooked
that:
1. The kernel's allocation functions still enforce INT_MAX as a maximum
size regardless of memcg accounting
2. Programs and tests that legitimately test file descriptor limits can
inadvertently trigger massive allocations
3. The resulting allocations (>8GB) are impractical and will always fail
systemd's algorithm starts with INT_MAX and keeps halving the value
until the kernel accepts it. On most systems, this results in nr_open
being set to 1073741816 (0x3ffffff8), which is just under 1GB of file
descriptors.
While processes rarely use file descriptors near this limit in normal
operation, certain selftests (like
tools/testing/selftests/core/unshare_test.c) and programs that test file
descriptor limits can trigger this issue.
Fix this by adding a check in alloc_fdtable() to ensure the requested
allocation size does not exceed INT_MAX. This causes the operation to
fail with -EMFILE instead of triggering a kernel warning and avoids the
impractical >8GB memory allocation request.

BITS_PER_LONG does not exist in UAPI headers, so can't be used by the UAPI
__GENMASK(). Instead __BITS_PER_LONG needs to be used.
When __GENMASK() was introduced in commit 3c7a8e190b ("uapi: introduce uapi-friendly macros for GENMASK"),
the code was fine. A broken revert in 1e7933a575 ("uapi: Revert "bitops: avoid integer overflow in GENMASK(_ULL)"")
introduced the incorrect usage of BITS_PER_LONG.
That was fixed in commit 11fcf36850 ("uapi: bitops: use UAPI-safe variant of BITS_PER_LONG again").
But a broken sync of the kernel headers with the tools/ headers in
commit fc92099902 ("tools headers: Synchronize linux/bits.h with the kernel sources")
undid the fix.
Reapply the fix and while at it also fix the tools header.

process_proto_type() is using a complex regex and a "while True" loop to
split a declaration into chunks and, in the end, count brackets. Switch to
using a simpler regex to just do the split directly, and handle each chunk
as it comes. The result is, IMO, easier to understand and reason about.
The old algorithm would occasionally elide the space between function
parameters; see struct rng_alg->generate(), foe example. The only output
difference is to not elide that space, which is more correct.

The previous implementation also (in process_proto_type()) removed C++
comments *after* the above dance, leaving trailing whitespace in that case;
now we do the stripping afterward. This results in exactly one output
change: the removal of a spurious space in the definition of

When CONFIG_DEBUG_EFI is enabled, some objects are needlessly rebuilt.
[Steps to reproduce]
Enable CONFIG_DEBUG_EFI and run 'make' twice in a clean source tree.
On the second run, arch/arm64/kernel/head.o is rebuilt even though
no files have changed.
$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- clean
$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
[ snip ]
$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh
AS arch/arm64/kernel/head.o
AR arch/arm64/kernel/built-in.a
AR arch/arm64/built-in.a
AR built-in.a
[ snip ]
The issue is caused by the use of the $(realpath ...) function.
At the time arch/arm64/kernel/Makefile is parsed on the first run,
$(objtree)/vmlinux does not exist. As a result,
$(realpath $(objtree)/vmlinux) expands to an empty string.
On the second run of Make, $(objtree)/vmlinux already exists, so
$(realpath $(objtree)/vmlinux) expands to the absolute path of vmlinux.
However, this change in the command line causes arch/arm64/kernel/head.o
to be rebuilt.
To address this issue, use $(abspath ...) instead, which does not require
the file to exist. While $(abspath ...) does not resolve symlinks, this
should be fine from a debugging perspective.
The GNU Make manual [1] clearly explains the difference between the two:
$(realpath names...)
For each file name in names return the canonical absolute name.
A canonical name does not contain any . or .. components, nor any
repeated path separators (/) or symlinks. In case of a failure the
empty string is returned. Consult the realpath(3) documentation for
a list of possible failure causes.
$(abspath namees...)
For each file name in names return an absolute name that does not
contain any . or .. components, nor any repeated path separators (/).
Note that, in contrast to realpath function, abspath does not resolve
symlinks and does not require the file names to refer to an existing
file or directory. Use the wildcard function to test for existence.
The same problem exists in drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/Makefile.zboot.
On the first run of Make, $(obj)/vmlinuz.efi.elf does not exist when the
Makefile is parsed, so -DZBOOT_EFI_PATH is set to an empty string.
Replace $(realpath ...) with $(abspath ...) there as well.

The current version of the blk_rq_dma_map support in nvme-pci tries to
reconstruct the DMA mappings from the on the wire descriptors if they
are needed for unmapping. While this is not the case for the direct
mapping fast path and the IOVA path, it is needed for the non-IOVA slow
path, e.g. when using the interconnect is not dma coherent, when using
swiotlb bounce buffering, or a IOMMU mapping that can't coalesce.
While the reconstruction is easy and works fine for the SGL path, where
the on the wire representation maps 1:1 to DMA mappings, the code to
reconstruct the DMA mapping ranges from PRPs can't always work, as a
given PRP layout can come from different DMA mappings, and the current
code doesn't even always get that right.
Give up on this approach and track the actual DMA mapping when actually
needed again.

CI:
- uprev mesa and ci-templates
- use shallow clone to speed up build jobs
- remove sdm845/cheza jobs. These runners are no more (RIP
dear chezas)
- fix runner tag for i915 cml runners
- uprev igt to pull in msm test fixes
Core:
- VM_BIND support!
- single source of truth for UBWC configuration. Adds a global soc
driver for UBWC config which is used from display and GPU. (And
later vidc/camera/etc)
- Decouple ties between GPU and KMS, adding a `separate_gpu_kms`
modparam to allow the GPU and KMS to bind to separate DRM devices.
This should better deal with more exotic SoC configurations where
the number of GPUs is different from number of DPUs. The default
behavior is to still come up as a single unified DRM device to
avoid surprising userspace.
DP:
- major rework of the I/O accessors
DPU:
- use version checks instead of feature bits
- SM8750 support
- set min_prefill_lines for SC8180X
DSI:
- SM8750 support
GPU:
- speedbin support for X1-85

Now that debug exceptions are handled individually and without the need
for dynamic registration, remove the unused registration infrastructure.
This removes the external caller for `debug_exception_enter()` and
`debug_exception_exit()`.
Make them static again and remove them from the header.
Remove `early_brk64()` as it has been made redundant by
(arm64: debug: split brk64 exception entry) and is not used anymore.
Note : in `early_brk64()` `bug_brk_handler()` is called unconditionally
as a fall-through, but now `call_break_hook()` only calls it if the
immediate matches.
This does not change the behaviour in early boot, as if
`bug_brk_handler()` was called on a non-BUG immediate it would return
DBG_HOOK_ERROR anyway, which `call_break_hook()` will do if no immediate
matches.
Remove `trap_init()`, as it would be empty and a weak definition already
exists in `init/main.c`.

Currently all debug exceptions share common entry code and are routed
to `do_debug_exception()`, which calls dynamically-registered
handlers for each specific debug exception. This is unfortunate as
different debug exceptions have different entry handling requirements,
and it would be better to handle these distinct requirements earlier.
The BKPT32 exception can only be triggered by a BKPT instruction. Thus,
we know that the PC is a legitimate address and isn't being used to train
a branch predictor with a bogus address : we don't need to call
`arm64_apply_bp_hardening()`.
The handler for this exception only pends a signal and doesn't depend
on any per-CPU state : we don't need to inhibit preemption, nor do we
need to keep the DAIF exceptions masked, so we can unmask them earlier.
Split the BKPT32 exception entry and adjust function signatures and its
behaviour to match its relaxed constraints compared to other
debug exceptions.
We can also remove `NOKRPOBE_SYMBOL`, as this cannot lead to a kprobe
recursion.
This replaces the last usage of `el0_dbg()`, so remove it.

We do not need to handle the Cortex-A76 erratum #1463225 either, as it
only relevant for single stepping at EL1.
BRK64 does not write FAR_EL1 either, as only hardware watchpoints do so.
Split the BRK64 exception entry, adjust the function signature, and its
behaviour to match the lack of needed mitigations.
Further, as the EL0 and EL1 code paths are cleanly separated, we can split
`do_brk64()` into `do_el0_brk64()` and `do_el1_brk64()`, and call them
directly from the relevant entry paths.
Use `die()` directly for the EL1 error path, as in `do_el1_bti()` and
`do_el1_undef()`.
We can also remove `NOKRPOBE_SYMBOL` for the EL0 path, as it cannot
lead to a kprobe recursion.
When taking a BRK64 exception from EL0, the exception handling is safely
preemptible : the only possible handler is `uprobe_brk_handler()`.
It only operates on task-local data and properly checks its validity,
then raises a Thread Information Flag, processed before returning
to userspace in `do_notify_resume()`, which is already preemptible.
Thus we can safely unmask interrupts and enable preemption before
handling the break itself, fixing a PREEMPT_RT issue where the handler
could call a sleeping function with preemption disabled.
Given that the break hook registration is handled statically in
`call_break_hook` since
(arm64: debug: call software break handlers statically)
and that we now bypass the exception handler registration, this change
renders `early_brk64` redundant : its functionality is now handled through
the post-init path.
This also removes the last usage of `el1_dbg()`.
This also removes the last usage of `el0_dbg()` without `CONFIG_COMPAT`.
Mark it `__maybe_unused`, to prevent a warning when building this patch
without `CONFIG_COMPAT`, as the following patch removes `el0_dbg()`.

to `do_debug_exception()`, which calls dynamically-registered
handlers for each specific debug exception. This is unfortunate as
different debug exceptions have different entry handling requirements,
and it would be better to handle these distinct requirements earlier.
The single stepping exception has the most constraints : it can be
exploited to train branch predictors and it needs special handling at EL1
for the Cortex-A76 erratum #1463225. We need to conserve all those
mitigations.
However, it does not write an address at FAR_EL1, as only hardware
watchpoints do so.
The single-step handler does its own signaling if it needs to and only
returns 0, so we can call it directly from `entry-common.c`.
Split the single stepping exception entry, adjust the function signature,
keep the security mitigation and erratum handling.
Further, as the EL0 and EL1 code paths are cleanly separated, we can split

We can also remove `NOKPROBE_SYMBOL` for the EL0 path, as it cannot

Move the call to `arm64_apply_bp_hardening()` to `entry-common.c` so that
we can do it as early as possible, and only for the exceptions coming
from EL0, where it is needed.
This is safe to do as it is `noinstr`, as are all the functions it
may call. `el0_ia()` and `el0_pc()` already call it this way.
When taking a soft-step exception from EL0, most of the single stepping
handling is safely preemptible : the only possible handler is
`uprobe_single_step_handler()`. It only operates on task-local data and
properly checks its validity, then raises a Thread Information Flag,
processed before returning to userspace in `do_notify_resume()`, which
is already preemptible.
However, the soft-step handler first calls `reinstall_suspended_bps()`
to check if there is any hardware breakpoint or watchpoint pending
or already stepped through.
This cannot be preempted as it manipulates the hardware breakpoint and
watchpoint registers.
Move the call to `try_step_suspended_breakpoints()` to `entry-common.c`
and adjust the relevant comments.
We can now safely unmask interrupts before handling the step itself,

`reinstall_suspended_bps()` plays a key part in the stepping process
when we have hardware breakpoints and watchpoints enabled.
It checks if we need to step one, will re-enable it if it has
been handled and will return whether or not we need to proceed with
a single-step.
However, the current naming and return values make it harder to understand
the logic and goal of the function.
Rename it `try_step_suspended_breakpoints()` and change the return value
to a boolean, aligning it with similar functions used in
`do_el0_undef()` like `try_emulate_mrs()`, and making its behaviour
more obvious.
