When clone3() was introduced, it was not obvious how each architecture
deals with setting up the stack and keeping the register contents in
a fork()-like system call, so this was left for the architecture
maintainers to implement, with __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 defined by those
that already implement it.
Five years later, we still have a few architectures left that are missing
clone3(), and the macro keeps getting in the way as it's fundamentally
different from all the other __ARCH_WANT_SYS_* macros that are meant
to provide backwards-compatibility with applications using older
syscalls that are no longer provided by default.
Address this by reversing the polarity of the macro, adding an
__ARCH_BROKEN_SYS_CLONE3 macro to all architectures that don't
already provide the syscall, and remove __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3
from all the other ones.

When KFENCE is enabled, total system memory is mapped at page level
granularity. But in radix MMU mode, ~3GB additional memory is needed
to map 100GB of system memory at page level granularity when compared
to using 2MB direct mapping.This is not desired considering KFENCE is
designed to be enabled in production kernels [1].
Mapping only the memory allocated for KFENCE pool at page granularity is
sufficient to enable KFENCE support. So, allocate __kfence_pool during
bootup and map it at page granularity instead of mapping all system
memory at page granularity.
Without patch:
# cat /proc/meminfo
MemTotal: 101201920 kB
With patch:
# cat /proc/meminfo
MemTotal: 104483904 kB
Note that enabling KFENCE at runtime is disabled for radix MMU for now,
as it depends on the ability to split page table mappings and such APIs
are not currently implemented for radix MMU.

In the match() callback, the struct device_driver * should not be
changed, so change the function callback to be a const *. This is one
step of many towards making the driver core safe to have struct
device_driver in read-only memory.
Because the match() callback is in all busses, all busses are modified
to handle this properly. This does entail switching some container_of()
calls to container_of_const() to properly handle the constant *.
For some busses, like PCI and USB and HV, the const * is cast away in
the match callback as those busses do want to modify those structures at
this point in time (they have a local lock in the driver structure.)
That will have to be changed in the future if they wish to have their
struct device * in read-only-memory.

just test BOOKE, because 44x always selects BOOKE.

PPC64 IOMMU API defines iommu_table_group_ops which handles DMA
windows for PEs, their ownership transfer, create/set/unset the TCE
tables for the Dynamic DMA wundows(DDW). VFIOS uses these APIs for
support on POWER.
The commit 9d67c94335 ("powerpc/iommu: Add "borrowing"
iommu_table_group_ops") implemented partial support for this API with
"borrow" mechanism wherein the DMA windows if created already by the
host driver, they would be available for VFIO to use. Also, it didn't
have the support to control/modify the window size or the IO page
size.
The current patch implements all the necessary iommu_table_group_ops
APIs there by avoiding the "borrrowing". So, just the way it is on the
PowerNV platform, with this patch the iommu table group ownership is
transferred to the VFIO PPC subdriver, the iommu table, DMA windows
creation/deletion all driven through the APIs.
The pSeries uses the query-pe-dma-window, create-pe-dma-window and
reset-pe-dma-window RTAS calls for DMA window creation, deletion and
reset to defaul. The RTAs calls do show some minor differences to the
way things are to be handled on the pSeries which are listed below.
* On pSeries, the default DMA window size is "fixed" cannot be custom
sized as requested by the user. For non-SRIOV VFs, It is fixed at 2GB
and for SRIOV VFs, its variable sized based on the capacity assigned
to it during the VF assignment to the LPAR. So, for the default DMA
window alone the size if requested less than tce32_size, the smaller
size is enforced using the iommu table->it_size.
* The DMA start address for 32-bit window is 0, and for the 64-bit
window in case of PowerNV is hardcoded to TVE select (bit 59) at 512PiB
offset. This address is returned at the time of create_table() API call
(even before the window is created), the subsequent set_window() call
actually opens the DMA window. On pSeries, the DMA start address for
32-bit window is known from the 'ibm,dma-window' DT property. However,
the 64-bit window start address is not known until the create-pe-dma
RTAS call is made. So, the create_table() which returns the DMA window
start address actually opens the DMA window and returns the DMA start
address as returned by the Hypervisor for the create-pe-dma RTAS call.
* The reset-pe-dma RTAS call resets the DMA windows and restores the
default DMA window, however it does not clear the TCE table entries
if there are any. In case of ownership transfer from platform domain
which used direct mapping, the patch chooses remove-pe-dma instead of
reset-pe for the 64-bit window intentionally so that the
clear_dma_window() is called.
Other than the DMA window management changes mentioned above, the
patch also brings back the userspace view for the single level TCE
as it existed before commit 090bad39b2 ("powerpc/powernv: Add
indirect levels to it_userspace") along with the relavent
refactoring.

system boots and reserved memory ranges are incorporated into the
initial_boot_params (base FDT).
However, they are not taken into account when determining the additional

generating the following error:

Therefore, consider the extra size for CPU nodes added post-system boot

Currently in some cases, when the sampled instruction address register
latches to a specific address during sampling, the privilege bits
captured in the sampled event register are incorrect.
For example, a snippet from the perf report on a power10 system is:
Overhead Address Command Shared Object Symbol
........ .................. ............ ................. .......................
2.41% 0x7fff9f94a02c null_syscall [unknown] [k] 0x00007fff9f94a02c
2.20% 0x7fff9f94a02c null_syscall libc.so.6 [.] syscall
perf_get_misc_flags() function looks at the privilege bits to return
the corresponding flags to be used for the address symbol and these
privilege bit details are read from the sampled event register. In the
above snippet, address "0x00007fff9f94a02c" is shown as "k" (kernel) due
to the incorrect privilege bits captured in the sampled event register.
To address this case check whether the sampled address is in the kernel
area. Since this is specific to the latest platform, a new pmu flag
is added called "PPMU_P10" and is used to contain the proposed fix.
PPMU_P10_DD1 marked events are also included under PPMU_P10, hence
remove the code specific to PPMU_P10_DD1 marked events.

Dynamic DMA Window (DDW) supports TCEs that are backed by 2MB page
size. In most configurations, DDW is big enough to pre-map all of LPAR
memory for IO. Pre-mapping of memory for DMA results in improvements in
IO performance.
Persistent memory, vPMEM, can be assigned to an LPAR as well. vPMEM is
not contiguous with LPAR memory and usually is assigned at high memory
addresses. This makes is not possible to pre-map both vPMEM and LPAR
memory in the same DDW.
For a dedicated adapter this limitation is not an issue. Dedicated
adapters can have both Default DMA window, which is backed by 4K page
size and a DDW backed by 2MB page size TCEs. In this scenario, LPAR
memory is pre-mapped in the DDW. Any DMA going to the vPMEM is routed
via dynamically allocated TCEs in the default window.
The issue arises with SR-IOV adapters. There is only one DMA window -
either Default or DDW. If an LPAR has vPMEM assigned, memory is not
pre-mapped in the DDW since TCEs needs to be allocated for vPMEM as well.
In this case, DDW is created and TCEs are dynamically allocated for both
vPMEM and LPAR memory.
Today, DDW is only used in single mode - direct mapped TCEs or
dynamically mapped TCEs. This enhancement breaks a single DDW in 2
regions -
1. First region to pre-map LPAR memory
2. Second region to dynamically allocate TCEs for IO to vPMEM
The DDW is split only if it is big enough to pre-map complete LPAR
memory and still have some space left to dynamically map vPMEM. Maximum
size possible DDW is created as permitted by the Hypervisor.

The 'ld' instruction requires a 4-byte aligned displacement because it
is a DS-form instruction. But the "m" asm constraint doesn't enforce
that.
Add a special case of __get_user_asm2_goto() so that the "YZ" constraint
can be used for "ld".
The "Z" constraint is documented in the GCC manual PowerPC machine
constraints, and specifies a "memory operand accessed with indexed or
indirect addressing". "Y" is not documented in the manual but specifies
a "memory operand for a DS-form instruction". Using both allows the
compiler to generate a DS-form "ld" or X-form "ldx" as appropriate.
The change has to be conditional on CONFIG_PPC_KERNEL_PREFIXED because
the "Y" constraint does not guarantee 4-byte alignment when prefixed
instructions are enabled.
No build errors have been reported due to this, but the possibility is
there depending on compiler code generation decisions.

The 'std' instruction requires a 4-byte aligned displacement because
it is a DS-form instruction, and as the assembler says, 18 is not a
multiple of 4.
A similar error is seen with GCC 13 and CONFIG_UBSAN_SIGNED_WRAP=y.
The fix is to change the constraint on the memory operand to put_user(),
from "m" which is a general memory reference to "YZ".
The "Z" constraint is documented in the GCC manual PowerPC machine
constraints, and specifies a "memory operand accessed with indexed or
indirect addressing". "Y" is not documented in the manual but specifies
a "memory operand for a DS-form instruction". Using both allows the
compiler to generate a DS-form "std" or X-form "stdx" as appropriate.
The change has to be conditional on CONFIG_PPC_KERNEL_PREFIXED because
the "Y" constraint does not guarantee 4-byte alignment when prefixed
instructions are enabled.
Unfortunately clang doesn't support the "Y" constraint so that has to be
behind an ifdef.
Although the build error is only seen with GCC 13/14, that appears
to just be luck. The constraint has been incorrect since it was first
added.

Pull tracing cleanup from Steven Rostedt:
"Remove second argument of __assign_str()
The __assign_str() macro logic of the TRACE_EVENT() macro was
optimized so that it no longer needs the second argument. The
__assign_str() is always matched with __string() field that takes a
field name and the source for that field:
__string(field, source)
The TRACE_EVENT() macro logic will save off the source value and then
use that value to copy into the ring buffer via the __assign_str().
Before commit c1fa617cae ("tracing: Rework __assign_str() and
__string() to not duplicate getting the string"), the __assign_str()
needed the second argument which would perform the same logic as the
__string() source parameter did. Not only would this add overhead, but
it was error prone as if the __assign_str() source produced something
different, it may not have allocated enough for the string in the ring
buffer (as the __string() source was used to determine how much to
allocate)
Now that the __assign_str() just uses the same string that was used in
__string() it no longer needs the source parameter. It can now be
removed"

With the rework of how the __string() handles dynamic strings where it
saves off the source string in field in the helper structure[1], the
assignment of that value to the trace event field is stored in the helper
value and does not need to be passed in again.
This means that with:
__string(field, mystring)
Which use to be assigned with __assign_str(field, mystring), no longer
needs the second parameter and it is unused. With this, __assign_str()
will now only get a single parameter.
There's over 700 users of __assign_str() and because coccinelle does not
handle the TRACE_EVENT() macro I ended up using the following sed script:
git grep -l __assign_str | while read a ; do
sed -e 's/\(__assign_str([^,]*[^ ,]\) *,[^;]*/\1)/' $a > /tmp/test-file;
mv /tmp/test-file $a;
done
I then searched for __assign_str() that did not end with ';' as those
were multi line assignments that the sed script above would fail to catch.
Note, the same updates will need to be done for:
__assign_str_len()
__assign_rel_str()
__assign_rel_str_len()
I tested this with both an allmodconfig and an allyesconfig (build only for both).

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM:
- Move a lot of state that was previously stored on a per vcpu basis
into a per-CPU area, because it is only pertinent to the host while
the vcpu is loaded. This results in better state tracking, and a
smaller vcpu structure.
- Add full handling of the ERET/ERETAA/ERETAB instructions in nested
virtualisation. The last two instructions also require emulating
part of the pointer authentication extension. As a result, the trap
handling of pointer authentication has been greatly simplified.
- Turn the global (and not very scalable) LPI translation cache into
a per-ITS, scalable cache, making non directly injected LPIs much
cheaper to make visible to the vcpu.
- A batch of pKVM patches, mostly fixes and cleanups, as the
upstreaming process seems to be resuming. Fingers crossed!
- Allocate PPIs and SGIs outside of the vcpu structure, allowing for
smaller EL2 mapping and some flexibility in implementing more or
less than 32 private IRQs.
- Purge stale mpidr_data if a vcpu is created after the MPIDR map has
been created.
- Preserve vcpu-specific ID registers across a vcpu reset.
- Various minor cleanups and improvements.
LoongArch:
- Add ParaVirt IPI support
- Add software breakpoint support
- Add mmio trace events support
RISC-V:
- Support guest breakpoints using ebreak
- Introduce per-VCPU mp_state_lock and reset_cntx_lock
- Virtualize SBI PMU snapshot and counter overflow interrupts
- New selftests for SBI PMU and Guest ebreak
- Some preparatory work for both TDX and SNP page fault handling.
This also cleans up the page fault path, so that the priorities of
various kinds of fauls (private page, no memory, write to read-only
slot, etc.) are easier to follow.
x86:
- Minimize amount of time that shadow PTEs remain in the special
REMOVED_SPTE state.
This is a state where the mmu_lock is held for reading but
concurrent accesses to the PTE have to spin; shortening its use
allows other vCPUs to repopulate the zapped region while the zapper
finishes tearing down the old, defunct page tables.
- Advertise the max mappable GPA in the "guest MAXPHYADDR" CPUID
field, which is defined by hardware but left for software use.
This lets KVM communicate its inability to map GPAs that set bits
51:48 on hosts without 5-level nested page tables. Guest firmware
is expected to use the information when mapping BARs; this avoids
that they end up at a legal, but unmappable, GPA.
- Fixed a bug where KVM would not reject accesses to MSR that aren't
supposed to exist given the vCPU model and/or KVM configuration.
- As usual, a bunch of code cleanups.
x86 (AMD):
- Implement a new and improved API to initialize SEV and SEV-ES VMs,
which will also be extendable to SEV-SNP.
The new API specifies the desired encryption in KVM_CREATE_VM and
then separately initializes the VM. The new API also allows
customizing the desired set of VMSA features; the features affect
the measurement of the VM's initial state, and therefore enabling
them cannot be done tout court by the hypervisor.
While at it, the new API includes two bugfixes that couldn't be
applied to the old one without a flag day in userspace or without
affecting the initial measurement. When a SEV-ES VM is created with
the new VM type, KVM_GET_REGS/KVM_SET_REGS and friends are rejected
once the VMSA has been encrypted. Also, the FPU and AVX state will
be synchronized and encrypted too.
- Support for GHCB version 2 as applicable to SEV-ES guests.
This, once more, is only accessible when using the new
KVM_SEV_INIT2 flow for initialization of SEV-ES VMs.
x86 (Intel):
- An initial bunch of prerequisite patches for Intel TDX were merged.
They generally don't do anything interesting. The only somewhat
user visible change is a new debugging mode that checks that KVM's
MMU never triggers a #VE virtualization exception in the guest.
- Clear vmcs.EXIT_QUALIFICATION when synthesizing an EPT Misconfig
VM-Exit to L1, as per the SDM.
Generic:
- Use vfree() instead of kvfree() for allocations that always use
vcalloc() or __vcalloc().
- Remove .change_pte() MMU notifier - the changes to non-KVM code are
small and Andrew Morton asked that I also take those through the
KVM tree.
The callback was only ever implemented by KVM (which was also the
original user of MMU notifiers) but it had been nonfunctional ever
since calls to set_pte_at_notify were wrapped with
invalidate_range_start and invalidate_range_end... in 2012.
Selftests:
- Enhance the demand paging test to allow for better reporting and
stressing of UFFD performance.
- Convert the steal time test to generate TAP-friendly output.
- Fix a flaky false positive in the xen_shinfo_test due to comparing
elapsed time across two different clock domains.
- Skip the MONITOR/MWAIT test if the host doesn't actually support
MWAIT.
- Avoid unnecessary use of "sudo" in the NX hugepage test wrapper
shell script, to play nice with running in a minimal userspace
environment.
- Allow skipping the RSEQ test's sanity check that the vCPU was able
to complete a reasonable number of KVM_RUNs, as the assert can fail
on a completely valid setup.
If the test is run on a large-ish system that is otherwise idle,
and the test isn't affined to a low-ish number of CPUs, the vCPU
task can be repeatedly migrated to CPUs that are in deep sleep
states, which results in the vCPU having very little net runtime
before the next migration due to high wakeup latencies.
- Define _GNU_SOURCE for all selftests to fix a warning that was
introduced by a change to kselftest_harness.h late in the 6.9
cycle, and because forcing every test to #define _GNU_SOURCE is
painful.
- Provide a global pseudo-RNG instance for all tests, so that library
code can generate random, but determinstic numbers.
- Use the global pRNG to randomly force emulation of select writes
from guest code on x86, e.g. to help validate KVM's emulation of
locked accesses.
- Allocate and initialize x86's GDT, IDT, TSS, segments, and default
exception handlers at VM creation, instead of forcing tests to
manually trigger the related setup.

It starts with a non-functional changes API rename / placeholders to

Archs now can intitialize this execmem_info as the last part of
mm_core_init() if they have to diverge from the norm. Each range is a
known type clearly articulated and spelled out in enum execmem_type.

Pull timers and timekeeping updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Core code:
- Make timekeeping and VDSO time readouts resilent against math
overflow:
In guest context the kernel is prone to math overflow when the host
defers the timer interrupt due to overload, malfunction or malice.
This can be mitigated by checking the clocksource delta for the
maximum deferrement which is readily available. If that value is
exceeded then the code uses a slowpath function which can handle
the multiplication overflow.
This functionality is enabled unconditionally in the kernel, but
made conditional in the VDSO code. The latter is conditional
because it allows architectures to optimize the check so it is not
causing performance regressions.
On X86 this is achieved by reworking the existing check for
negative TSC deltas as a negative delta obviously exceeds the
maximum deferrement when it is evaluated as an unsigned value. That
avoids two conditionals in the hotpath and allows to hide both the
negative delta and the large delta handling in the same slow path.

Merge our topic branch containing kdump hotplug changes, more detail from the
original cover letter:
Commit 2472627561 ("crash: add generic infrastructure for crash
hotplug support") added a generic infrastructure that allows
architectures to selectively update the kdump image component during CPU
or memory add/remove events within the kernel itself.
This patch series adds crash hotplug handler for PowerPC and enable
support to update the kdump image on CPU/Memory add/remove events.
Among the 6 patches in this series, the first two patches make changes
to the generic crash hotplug handler to assist PowerPC in adding support
for this feature. The last four patches add support for this feature.
The following section outlines the problem addressed by this patch
series, along with the current solution, its shortcomings, and the
proposed resolution.
Problem:
========
Due to CPU/Memory hotplug or online/offline events the elfcorehdr
(which describes the CPUs and memory of the crashed kernel) and FDT
(Flattened Device Tree) of kdump image becomes outdated. Consequently,
attempting dump collection with an outdated elfcorehdr or FDT can lead
to failed or inaccurate dump collection.
Going forward CPU hotplug or online/offline events are referred as
CPU/Memory add/remove events.
Existing solution and its shortcoming:
======================================
The current solution to address the above issue involves monitoring the
CPU/memory add/remove events in userspace using udev rules and whenever
there are changes in CPU and memory resources, the entire kdump image
is loaded again. The kdump image includes kernel, initrd, elfcorehdr,
FDT, purgatory. Given that only elfcorehdr and FDT get outdated due to
CPU/Memory add/remove events, reloading the entire kdump image is
inefficient. More importantly, kdump remains inactive for a substantial
amount of time until the kdump reload completes.
Proposed solution:
==================
Instead of initiating a full kdump image reload from userspace on
CPU/Memory hotplug and online/offline events, the proposed solution aims
to update only the necessary kdump image component within the kernel
itself.
For fadump case, passing additional parameters to dump capture kernel
helps in minimizing the memory footprint for it and also provides the
flexibility to disable components/modules, like hugepages, that are
hindering the boot process of the special dump capture environment.
Set up a dedicated parameter area to be passed to the capture kernel.
This area type is defined as RTAS_FADUMP_PARAM_AREA. Sysfs attribute
'/sys/kernel/fadump/bootargs_append' is exported to the userspace to
specify the additional parameters to be passed to the capture kernel

Currently, fadump on pseries assumes a single boot memory region even
though f/w supports more than one boot memory region. Add support for
more boot memory regions to make the implementation flexible for any
enhancements that introduce other region types. For this, rtas memory
structure for fadump is updated to have multiple boot memory regions
instead of just one. Additionally, methods responsible for creating
the fadump memory structure during both the first and second kernel
boot have been modified to take these multiple boot memory regions
into account. Also, a new callback has been added to the fadump_ops
structure to get the maximum boot memory regions supported by the
platform.

There is code that builds with calls to IO accessors even when
CONFIG_PCI=n, but the actual calls are guarded by runtime checks.
If not those calls would be faulting, because the page at virtual
address zero is (usually) not mapped into the kernel. As Arnd pointed
out, it is possible a large port value could cause the address to be
above mmap_min_addr which would then access userspace, which would be
a bug.
To avoid any such issues, set _IO_BASE to POISON_POINTER_DELTA. That
is a value chosen to point into unmapped space between the kernel and
userspace, so any access will always fault.
Note that on 32-bit POISON_POINTER_DELTA is 0, so the patch only has an
effect on 64-bit.

With -Wextra clang warns about pointer arithmetic using a null pointer.
When building with CONFIG_PCI=n, that triggers a warning in the IO
accessors, eg:
In file included from linux/arch/powerpc/include/asm/io.h:672:
linux/arch/powerpc/include/asm/io-defs.h:23:1: warning: performing pointer arithmetic on a null pointer has undefined behavior [-Wnull-pointer-arithmetic]
23 | DEF_PCI_AC_RET(inb, u8, (unsigned long port), (port), pio, port)
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
...
linux/arch/powerpc/include/asm/io.h:591:53: note: expanded from macro '__do_inb'
591 | #define __do_inb(port) readb((PCI_IO_ADDR)_IO_BASE + port);
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^
That is because when CONFIG_PCI=n, _IO_BASE is defined as 0.
Although _IO_BASE is defined as plain 0, the cast (PCI_IO_ADDR) converts
it to void * before the addition with port happens.
Instead the addition can be done first, and then the cast. The resulting
value will be the same, but avoids the warning, and also avoids void
pointer arithmetic which is apparently non-standard.
