Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM:
- Clean up vCPU targets, always returning generic v8 as the preferred
target
- Trap forwarding infrastructure for nested virtualization (used for
traps that are taken from an L2 guest and are needed by the L1
hypervisor)
- FEAT_TLBIRANGE support to only invalidate specific ranges of
addresses when collapsing a table PTE to a block PTE. This avoids
that the guest refills the TLBs again for addresses that aren't
covered by the table PTE.
- Fix vPMU issues related to handling of PMUver.
- Don't unnecessary align non-stack allocations in the EL2 VA space
- Drop HCR_VIRT_EXCP_MASK, which was never used...
- Don't use smp_processor_id() in kvm_arch_vcpu_load(), but the cpu
parameter instead
- Drop redundant call to kvm_set_pfn_accessed() in user_mem_abort()
- Remove prototypes without implementations
RISC-V:
- Zba, Zbs, Zicntr, Zicsr, Zifencei, and Zihpm support for guest
- Added ONE_REG interface for SATP mode
- Added ONE_REG interface to enable/disable multiple ISA extensions
- Improved error codes returned by ONE_REG interfaces
- Added KVM_GET_REG_LIST ioctl() implementation for KVM RISC-V
- Added get-reg-list selftest for KVM RISC-V
s390:
- PV crypto passthrough enablement (Tony, Steffen, Viktor, Janosch)
Allows a PV guest to use crypto cards. Card access is governed by
the firmware and once a crypto queue is "bound" to a PV VM every
other entity (PV or not) looses access until it is not bound
anymore. Enablement is done via flags when creating the PV VM.
- Guest debug fixes (Ilya)
x86:
- Clean up KVM's handling of Intel architectural events
- Intel bugfixes
- Add support for SEV-ES DebugSwap, allowing SEV-ES guests to use
debug registers and generate/handle #DBs
- Clean up LBR virtualization code
- Fix a bug where KVM fails to set the target pCPU during an IRTE
update
- Fix fatal bugs in SEV-ES intrahost migration
- Fix a bug where the recent (architecturally correct) change to
reinject #BP and skip INT3 broke SEV guests (can't decode INT3 to
skip it)
- Retry APIC map recalculation if a vCPU is added/enabled
- Overhaul emergency reboot code to bring SVM up to par with VMX, tie
the "emergency disabling" behavior to KVM actually being loaded,
and move all of the logic within KVM
- Fix user triggerable WARNs in SVM where KVM incorrectly assumes the
TSC ratio MSR cannot diverge from the default when TSC scaling is
disabled up related code
- Add a framework to allow "caching" feature flags so that KVM can
check if the guest can use a feature without needing to search
guest CPUID
- Rip out the ancient MMU_DEBUG crud and replace the useful bits with
CONFIG_KVM_PROVE_MMU
- Fix KVM's handling of !visible guest roots to avoid premature
triple fault injection
- Overhaul KVM's page-track APIs, and KVMGT's usage, to reduce the
API surface that is needed by external users (currently only
KVMGT), and fix a variety of issues in the process
Generic:
- Wrap kvm_{gfn,hva}_range.pte in a union to allow mmu_notifier
events to pass action specific data without needing to constantly
update the main handlers.
- Drop unused function declarations
Selftests:
- Add testcases to x86's sync_regs_test for detecting KVM TOCTOU bugs
- Add support for printf() in guest code and covert all guest asserts
to use printf-based reporting
- Clean up the PMU event filter test and add new testcases
- Include x86 selftests in the KVM x86 MAINTAINERS entry"

Pull x86 apic updates from Dave Hansen:
"This includes a very thorough rework of the 'struct apic' handlers.
Quite a variety of them popped up over the years, especially in the
32-bit days when odd apics were much more in vogue.
The end result speaks for itself, which is a removal of a ton of code
and static calls to replace indirect calls.
If there's any breakage here, it's likely to be around the 32-bit
museum pieces that get light to no testing these days.
Summary:
- Rework apic callbacks, getting rid of unnecessary ones and
coalescing lots of silly duplicates.
- Use static_calls() instead of indirect calls for apic->foo()
- Tons of cleanups an crap removal along the way"

Pull perf tools fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Revert a patch that unconditionally resolved addresses to inlines in
callchains, something that was done before when DWARF mode was asked
for, but could as well be done when just frame pointers (the default)
was selected.
This enriches the callchains with inlines but the way to resolve it
is gross right now, relying on addr2line, and even if we come up with
an efficient way of processing all the associated DWARF info for a
big file as vmlinux is, this has to be something people opt-in, as it
will still result in overheads, so revert it until we get this done
in a saner way.
- Update the x86 msr-index.h header with the kernel original, no change
in tooling output, just addresses a tools/perf build warning.
- Resolve a regression where special "tool events", such as
"duration_time" were being presented for all CPUs, when it only
makes sense to show it for the workload, that is, just once.

Add support for "DebugSwap for SEV-ES guests", which provides support
for swapping DR[0-3] and DR[0-3]_ADDR_MASK on VMRUN and VMEXIT, i.e.
allows KVM to expose debug capabilities to SEV-ES guests. Without
DebugSwap support, the CPU doesn't save/load most _guest_ debug
registers (except DR6/7), and KVM cannot manually context switch guest
DRs due the VMSA being encrypted.
Enable DebugSwap if and only if the CPU also supports NoNestedDataBp,
which causes the CPU to ignore nested #DBs, i.e. #DBs that occur when
vectoring a #DB. Without NoNestedDataBp, a malicious guest can DoS
the host by putting the CPU into an infinite loop of vectoring #DBs
(see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1278496)
Set the features bit in sev_es_sync_vmsa() which is the last point
when VMSA is not encrypted yet as sev_(es_)init_vmcb() (where the most
init happens) is called not only when VCPU is initialised but also on
intrahost migration when VMSA is encrypted.
Eliminate DR7 intercepts as KVM can't modify guest DR7, and intercepting
DR7 would completely defeat the purpose of enabling DebugSwap.
Make X86_FEATURE_DEBUG_SWAP appear in /proc/cpuinfo (by not adding "") to
let the operator know if the VM can debug.

Pull perf tool updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
"Third version of perf tool updates, with the build problems with with
using a 'vmlinux.h' generated from the main build fixed, and the bpf
skeleton build disabled by default.
Build:
- Require libtraceevent to build, one can disable it using
NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1.
It is required for tools like 'perf sched', 'perf kvm', 'perf
trace', etc.
libtraceevent is available in most distros so installing
'libtraceevent-devel' should be a one-time event to continue
building perf as usual.
Using NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 produces tooling that is functional and
sufficient for lots of users not interested in those libtraceevent
dependent features.
- Allow Python support in 'perf script' when libtraceevent isn't
linked, as not all features requires it, for instance Intel PT does
not use tracepoints.
- Error if the python interpreter needed for jevents to work isn't
available and NO_JEVENTS=1 isn't set, preventing a build without
support for JSON vendor events, which is a rare but possible
condition. The two check error messages:
$(error ERROR: No python interpreter needed for jevents generation. Install python or build with NO_JEVENTS=1.)
$(error ERROR: Python interpreter needed for jevents generation too old (older than 3.6). Install a newer python or build with NO_JEVENTS=1.)
- Make libbpf 1.0 the minimum required when building with out of
tree, distro provided libbpf.
- Use libsdtc++'s and LLVM's libcxx's __cxa_demangle, a portable C++
demangler, add 'perf test' entry for it.
- Make binutils libraries opt in, as distros disable building with it
due to licensing, they were used for C++ demangling, for instance.
- Switch libpfm4 to opt-out rather than opt-in, if libpfm-devel (or
equivalent) isn't installed, we'll just have a build warning:
Makefile.config:1144: libpfm4 not found, disables libpfm4 support. Please install libpfm4-dev
- Add a feature test for scandirat(), that is not implemented so far
in musl and uclibc, disabling features that need it, such as
scanning for tracepoints in /sys/kernel/tracing/events.
perf BPF filters:
- New feature where BPF can be used to filter samples, for instance:
$ sudo ./perf record -e cycles --filter 'period > 1000' true

- In addition to 'period' (PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD), the other
PERF_SAMPLE_ can be used for filtering, and also some other sample
accessible values, from tools/perf/Documentation/perf-record.txt:
Essentially the BPF filter expression is:
<term> <operator> <value> (("," | "||") <term> <operator> <value>)*
The <term> can be one of:
ip, id, tid, pid, cpu, time, addr, period, txn, weight, phys_addr,
code_pgsz, data_pgsz, weight1, weight2, weight3, ins_lat, retire_lat,
p_stage_cyc, mem_op, mem_lvl, mem_snoop, mem_remote, mem_lock,
mem_dtlb, mem_blk, mem_hops
The <operator> can be one of:
==, !=, >, >=, <, <=, &
The <value> can be one of:
<number> (for any term)
na, load, store, pfetch, exec (for mem_op)
l1, l2, l3, l4, cxl, io, any_cache, lfb, ram, pmem (for mem_lvl)
na, none, hit, miss, hitm, fwd, peer (for mem_snoop)
remote (for mem_remote)
na, locked (for mem_locked)
na, l1_hit, l1_miss, l2_hit, l2_miss, any_hit, any_miss, walk, fault (for mem_dtlb)
na, by_data, by_addr (for mem_blk)
hops0, hops1, hops2, hops3 (for mem_hops)
perf lock contention:
- Show lock type with address.
- Track and show mmap_lock, siglock and per-cpu rq_lock with address.
This is done for mmap_lock by following the current->mm pointer:
$ sudo ./perf lock con -abl -- sleep 10

- Update default map size to 16384.
- Allocate single letter option -M for --map-nr-entries, as it is
proving being frequently used.
- Fix struct rq lock access for older kernels with BPF's CO-RE
(Compile once, run everywhere).
- Fix problems found with MSAn.
perf report/top:
- Add inline information when using --call-graph=fp or lbr, as was
already done to the --call-graph=dwarf callchain mode.
- Improve the 'srcfile' sort key performance by really using an
optimization introduced in 6.2 for the 'srcline' sort key that
avoids calling addr2line for comparision with each sample.
perf sched:
- Make 'perf sched latency/map/replay' to use "sched:sched_waking"
instead of "sched:sched_waking", consistent with 'perf record'
since d566a9c2d4 ("perf sched: Prefer sched_waking event when it
exists").
perf ftrace:
- Make system wide the default target for latency subcommand, run the
following command then generate some network traffic and press
control+C:
# perf ftrace latency -T __kfree_skb

#
perf top:
- Add --branch-history (LBR: Last Branch Record) option, just like
already available for 'perf record'.
- Fix segfault in thread__comm_len() where thread->comm was being
used outside thread->comm_lock.
perf annotate:
- Allow configuring objdump and addr2line in ~/.perfconfig., so that
you can use alternative binaries, such as llvm's.
perf kvm:
- Add TUI mode for 'perf kvm stat report'.
Reference counting:
- Add reference count checking infrastructure to check for use after
free, done to the 'cpumap', 'namespaces', 'maps' and 'map' structs,
more to come.
To build with it use -DREFCNT_CHECKING=1 in the make command line
to build tools/perf. Documented at:
https://perf.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Reference_Count_Checking
- The above caught, for instance, fix, present in this series:
- Fix maps use after put in 'perf test "Share thread maps"':
'maps' is copied from leader, but the leader is put on line 79
and then 'maps' is used to read the reference count below - so
a use after put, with the put of maps happening within
thread__put.
Fixed by reversing the order of puts so that the leader is put
last.
- Also several fixes were made to places where reference counts were
not being held.
- Make this one of the tests in 'make -C tools/perf build-test' to
regularly build test it and to make sure no direct access to the
reference counted structs are made, doing that via accessors to
check the validity of the struct pointer.
ARM64:
- Fix 'perf report' segfault when filtering coresight traces by
sparse lists of CPUs.
- Add support for 'simd' as a sort field for 'perf report', to show
ARM's NEON SIMD's predicate flags: "partial" and "empty".
arm64 vendor events:
- Add N1 metrics.
Intel vendor events:
- Add graniterapids, grandridge and sierraforrest events.
- Refresh events for: alderlake, aldernaken, broadwell, broadwellde,
broadwellx, cascadelakx, haswell, haswellx, icelake, icelakex,
jaketown, meteorlake, knightslanding, sandybridge, sapphirerapids,
silvermont, skylake, tigerlake and westmereep-dp
- Refresh metrics for alderlake-n, broadwell, broadwellde,
broadwellx, haswell, haswellx, icelakex, ivybridge, ivytown and
skylakex.
perf stat:
- Implement --topdown using JSON metrics.
- Add TopdownL1 JSON metric as a default if present, but disable it
for now for some Intel hybrid architectures, a series of patches
addressing this is being reviewed and will be submitted for v6.5.
- Use metrics for --smi-cost.
- Update topdown documentation.
Vendor events (JSON) infrastructure:
- Add support for computing and printing metric threshold values. For
instance, here is one found in thesapphirerapids json file:
{
"BriefDescription": "Percentage of cycles spent in System Management Interrupts.",
"MetricExpr": "((msr@aperf@ - cycles) / msr@aperf@ if msr@smi@ > 0 else 0)",
"MetricGroup": "smi",
"MetricName": "smi_cycles",
"MetricThreshold": "smi_cycles > 0.1",
"ScaleUnit": "100%"
},
- Test parsing metric thresholds with the fake PMU in 'perf test
pmu-events'.
- Support for printing metric thresholds in 'perf list'.
- Add --metric-no-threshold option to 'perf stat'.
- Add rand (reverse and) and has_pmem (optane memory) support to
metrics.
- Sort list of input files to avoid depending on the order from
readdir() helping in obtaining reproducible builds.
S/390:
- Add common metrics: - CPI (cycles per instruction), prbstate (ratio
of instructions executed in problem state compared to total number
of instructions), l1mp (Level one instruction and data cache misses
per 100 instructions).
- Add cache metrics for z13, z14, z15 and z16.
- Add metric for TLB and cache.
ARM:
- Add raw decoding for SPE (Statistical Profiling Extension) v1.3 MTE
(Memory Tagging Extension) and MOPS (Memory Operations) load/store.
Intel PT hardware tracing:
- Add event type names UINTR (User interrupt delivered) and UIRET
(Exiting from user interrupt routine), documented in table 32-50
"CFE Packet Type and Vector Fields Details" in the Intel Processor
Trace chapter of The Intel SDM Volume 3 version 078.
- Add support for new branch instructions ERETS and ERETU.
- Fix CYC timestamps after standalone CBR
ARM CoreSight hardware tracing:
- Allow user to override timestamp and contextid settings.
- Fix segfault in dso lookup.
- Fix timeless decode mode detection.
- Add separate decode paths for timeless and per-thread modes.
auxtrace:
- Fix address filter entire kernel size.
Miscellaneous:
- Fix use-after-free and unaligned bugs in the PLT handling routines.
- Use zfree() to reduce chances of use after free.
- Add missing 0x prefix for addresses printed in hexadecimal in 'perf
probe'.
- Suppress massive unsupported target platform errors in the unwind
code.
- Fix return incorrect build_id size in elf_read_build_id().
- Fix 'perf scripts intel-pt-events.py' IPC output for Python 2 .

'perf mem'.
- Fix wrong size expectation for perf test 'Setup struct
perf_event_attr' caused by the patch adding
perf_event_attr::config3.
- Fix some spelling mistakes"

Mark reported that the ORC unwinder incorrectly marks an unwind as
reliable when the unwind terminates prematurely in the dark corners of
return_to_handler() due to lack of information about the next frame.
The problem is UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY is used in two different situations:
1) The end of the kernel stack unwind before hitting user entry, boot
code, or fork entry
2) A blind spot in ORC coverage where the unwinder has to bail due to
lack of information about the next frame
The ORC unwinder has no way to tell the difference between the two.
When it encounters an undefined stack state with 'end=1', it blindly
marks the stack reliable, which can break the livepatch consistency
model.
Fix it by splitting UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY into UNWIND_HINT_UNDEFINED and
UNWIND_HINT_END_OF_STACK.

Pull perf tools fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Add Adrian Hunter to MAINTAINERS as a perf tools reviewer
- Sync various tools/ copies of kernel headers with the kernel sources,
this time trying to avoid first merging with upstream to then update
but instead copy from upstream so that a merge is avoided and the end
result after merging this pull request is the one expected,
tools/perf/check-headers.sh (mostly) happy, less warnings while
building tools/perf/
- Fix counting when initial delay configured by setting
perf_attr.enable_on_exec when starting workloads from the perf
command line
- Don't avoid emitting a PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 in 'perf inject
--buildid-all' when that record comes with a build-id, otherwise we
end up not being able to resolve symbols
- Don't use comma as the CSV output separator the "stat+csv_output"
test, as comma can appear on some tests as a modifier for an event,
use @ instead, ditto for the JSON linter test
- The offcpu test was looking for some bits being set on
task_struct->prev_state without masking other bits not important for
this specific 'perf test', fix it

14329b825f ("KVM: x86/pmu: Introduce masked events to the pmu event filter")
That don't change functionality in tools/perf, as no new ioctl is added
for the 'perf trace' scripts to harvest.

We also continue with SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START() in util/include/linux/linkage.h

the include cfi_types.h line when checking if the kernel original files drifted
from the copies we carry.

Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Shrink 'struct instruction', to improve objtool performance & memory
footprint
- Other maximum memory usage reductions - this makes the build both
faster, and fixes kernel build OOM failures on allyesconfig and
similar configs when they try to build the final (large) vmlinux.o
- Fix ORC unwinding when a kprobe (INT3) is set on a stack-modifying
single-byte instruction (PUSH/POP or LEAVE). This requires the
extension of the ORC metadata structure with a 'signal' field
- Misc fixes & cleanups

Pull perf tools updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
"Miscellaneous:
- Add Ian Rogers to MAINTAINERS as a perf tools reviewer.
- Add support for retire latency feature (pipeline stall of a
instruction compared to the previous one, in cycles) present on
some Intel processors.
- Add 'perf c2c' report option to show false sharing with adjacent
cachelines, to be used in machines with cacheline prefetching,
where accesses to a cacheline brings the next one too.
- Skip 'perf test bpf' when the required kernel-debuginfo package
isn't installed.
- Avoid d3-flame-graph package dependency in 'perf script flamegraph',
making this feature more generally available.
- Add JSON metric events to present CPI stall cycles in Power10.
- Assorted improvements/refactorings on the JSON metrics parsing
code.
perf lock contention:
- Add -o/--lock-owner option:
$ sudo ./perf lock contention -abo -- ./perf bench sched pipe
# Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
# Executed 1000000 pipe operations between two processes
Total time: 4.766 [sec]

The owner is unknown in most cases. Filtering only for the
mutex locks, it will more likely get the owners.

Please note that to have the -b option (BPF) working above one has
to build with BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1.
- Add more 'perf test' entries to test these new features.
perf script:
- Add 'cgroup' field for 'perf script' output:
$ perf record --all-cgroups -- true
$ perf script -F comm,pid,cgroup
true 337112 /user.slice/user-657345.slice/user@657345.service/...
true 337112 /user.slice/user-657345.slice/user@657345.service/...

true 337112 /user.slice/user-657345.slice/user@657345.service/...
- Add support for showing branch speculation information in 'perf
script' and in the 'perf report' raw dump (-D).
perf record:
- Fix 'perf record' segfault with --overwrite and --max-size.
perf test/bench:
- Switch basic BPF filtering test to use syscall tracepoint to avoid
the variable number of probes inserted when using the previous
probe point (do_epoll_wait) that happens on different CPU
architectures.
- Fix DWARF unwind test by adding non-inline to expected function in
a backtrace.
- Use 'grep -c' where the longer form 'grep | wc -l' was being used.
- Add getpid and execve benchmarks to 'perf bench syscall'.
Intel PT:
- Add support for synthesizing "cycle" events from Intel PT traces as
we support "instruction" events when Intel PT CYC packets are
available. This enables much more accurate profiles than when using
the regular 'perf record -e cycles' (the default) when the workload
lasts for very short periods (<10ms).
- .plt symbol handling improvements, better handling IBT (in the past
MPX) done in the context of decoding Intel PT processor traces,
IFUNC symbols on x86_64, static executables, understanding .plt.got
symbols on x86_64.
- Add a 'perf test' to test symbol resolution, part of the .plt
improvements series, this tests things like symbol size in contexts
where only the symbol start is available (kallsyms), etc.
- Better handle auxtrace/Intel PT data when using pipe mode (perf
record sleep 1|perf report).
- Fix symbol lookup with kcore with multiple segments match stext,
getting the symbol resolution to just show DSOs as unknown.
ARM:
- Timestamp improvements for ARM64 systems with ETMv4 (Embedded Trace
Macrocell v4).
- Ensure ARM64 CoreSight timestamps don't go backwards.
- Document that ARM64 SPE (Statistical Profiling Extension) is used
with 'perf c2c/mem'.
- Add raw decoding for ARM64 SPEv1.2 previous branch address.
- Update neoverse-n2-v2 ARM vendor events (JSON tables): topdown L1,
TLB, cache, branch, PE utilization and instruction mix metrics.
- Update decoder code for OpenCSD version 1.4, on ARM64 systems.
- Fix command line auto-complete of CPU events on aarch64.
Build:
- Fix 'perf probe' and 'perf test' when libtraceevent isn't linked,
as several tests use tracepoints, those should be skipped.
- More fallout fixes for the removal of tools/lib/traceevent/.
- Fix build error when linking with libpfm"
