s390/alternatives: Remove noaltinstr option
The current Kernel doesn't boot without alternative patching on z16 machines. To avoid such bugs in the future, remove the option disable alternative patching.

- 875fa64577da ("mm/hugetlb_vmemmap: fix race with speculative PFN
walkers") is known to cause a performance regression (https://lore.kernel.org/all/3acefad9-96e5-4681-8014-827d6be71c7a@linux.ibm.com/T/#mfa809800a7862fb5bdf834c6f71a3a5113eb83ff). Yu has a fix which I'll send along later via the hotfixes branch. - In the series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling" Jan Kara addresses a couple of issues in the writeback throttling code. These fixes are also targetted at -stable kernels. - Ryusuke Konishi's series "nilfs2: fix potential issues related to reserved inodes" does that. This should actually be in the mm-nonmm-stable tree, along with the many other nilfs2 patches. My bad. - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series "mm: convert to folio_alloc_mpol()" - Kemeng Shi has sent some cleanups to the writeback code in the series "Add helper functions to remove repeated code and improve readability of cgroup writeback" - Kairui Song has made the swap code a little smaller and a little faster in the series "mm/swap: clean up and optimize swap cache index". - In the series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()" David Hildenbrand has reworked the rather sketchy handling of the use of the zeropage in MAP_SHARED mappings. I don't see any runtime effects here - more a cleanup/understandability/maintainablity thing. - Dev Jain has improved selftests/mm/va_high_addr_switch.c's handling of higher addresses, for aarch64. The (poorly named) series is "Restructure va_high_addr_switch". - The core TLB handling code gets some cleanups and possible slight optimizations in Bang Li's series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to simplify code". - Jane Chu has improved the handling of our fake-an-unrecoverable-memory-error testing feature MADV_HWPOISON in the series "Enhance soft hwpoison handling and injection". - Jeff Johnson has sent a billion patches everywhere to add MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to everything. Some landed in this pull. - In the series "mm: cleanup MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode", Kefeng Wang has simplified migration's use of hardware-offload memory copying. - Yosry Ahmed performs more folio API conversions in his series "mm: zswap: trivial folio conversions". - In the series "large folios swap-in: handle refault cases first", Chuanhua Han inches us forward in the handling of large pages in the swap code. This is a cleanup and optimization, working toward the end objective of full support of large folio swapin/out. - In the series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window calculation", Huang Ying has contributed some cleanups and a possible fixlet to his VMA based swap readahead code. - In the series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem" Baolin Wang has taught anonymous shmem mappings to use multisize THP. By default this is a no-op - users must opt in vis sysfs controls. Dramatic improvements in pagefault latency are realized. - David Hildenbrand has some cleanups to our remaining use of page_mapcount() in the series "fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to fs/proc/internal.h". - David also has some highmem accounting cleanups in the series "mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually". - Build-time fixes and cleanups from John Hubbard in the series "cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"". - Cleanups and consolidation of the core pagemap handling from Barry Song in the series "mm: introduce pmd|pte_needs_soft_dirty_wp helpers and utilize them". - Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly common circumstances. A 10x speedup is seen in a microbenchmark. It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless all CPUs are pegged. - hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes". - Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that thing. - Is anyone reading this stuff? If so, email me! - Someone other than SeongJae has developed a DAMON feature in Honggyu Kim's series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory". This adds DAMON features which may be used to help determine the efficiency of our placement of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM. - DAMON user API centralization and simplificatio work in SeongJae Park's series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit function". - In the series "mm: page_type, zsmalloc and page_mapcount_reset()" David Hildenbrand does some maintenance work on zsmalloc - partially modernizing its use of pageframe fields. - Kefeng Wang provides more folio conversions in the series "mm: remove page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()". - More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series "mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for !ZONE_DEVICE". It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline() pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks. - Barry Song's series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and __folio_add_anon_rmap()" is a cleanup to the anon folio handling in preparation for mTHP (multisize THP) swapin. - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: improve clear and copy user folio" implements more folio conversions, this time in the area of large folio userspace copying. - The series "Docs/mm/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool and community meetup series" tells people how to get better involved with other DAMON developers. From SeongJae Park. - A large series ("kmsan: Enable on s390") from Ilya Leoshkevich does that. - David Hildenbrand sends along more cleanups, this time against the migration code. The series is "mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault folio isolation + checks under PTL". - Jan Kara has found quite a lot of strangenesses and minor errors in the readahead code. He addresses this in the series "mm: Fix various readahead quirks". - SeongJae Park's series "selftests/damon: test DAMOS tried regions and {min,max}_nr_regions" adds features and addresses errors in DAMON's self testing code. - Gavin Shan has found a userspace-triggerable WARN in the pagecache code. The series "mm/filemap: Limit page cache size to that supported by xarray" addresses this. The series is marked cc:stable. - Chengming Zhou's series "mm/ksm: cmp_and_merge_page() optimizations and cleanup" cleans up and slightly optimizes KSM. - Roman Gushchin has separated the memcg-v1 and memcg-v2 code - lots of code motion. The series (which also makes the memcg-v1 code Kconfigurable) are "mm: memcg: separate legacy cgroup v1 code and put under config option" and "mm: memcg: put cgroup v1-specific memcg data under CONFIG_MEMCG_V1" - Dan Schatzberg's series "Add swappiness argument to memory.reclaim" adds an additional feature to this cgroup-v2 control file. - The series "Userspace controls soft-offline pages" from Jiaqi Yan permits userspace to stop the kernel's automatic treatment of excessive correctable memory errors. In order to permit userspace to monitor and handle this situation. - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: migrate: support poison recover from migrate folio" teaches the kernel to appropriately handle migration from poisoned source folios rather than simply panicing. - SeongJae Park's series "Docs/damon: minor fixups and improvements" does those things. - In the series "mm/zsmalloc: change back to per-size_class lock" Chengming Zhou improves zsmalloc's scalability and memory utilization. - Vivek Kasireddy's series "mm/gup: Introduce memfd_pin_folios() for pinning memfd folios" makes the GUP code use FOLL_PIN rather than bare refcount increments. So these paes can first be moved aside if they reside in the movable zone or a CMA block. - Andrii Nakryiko has added a binary ioctl()-based API to /proc/pid/maps for much faster reading of vma information. The series is "query VMAs from /proc/<pid>/maps". - In the series "mm: introduce per-order mTHP split counters" Lance Yang improves the kernel's presentation of developer information related to multisize THP splitting. - Michael Ellerman has developed the series "Reimplement huge pages without hugepd on powerpc (8xx, e500, book3s/64)". This permits userspace to use all available huge page sizes. - In the series "revert unconditional slab and page allocator fault injection calls" Vlastimil Babka removes a performance-affecting and not very useful feature from slab fault injection. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEABYKAB0WIQTTMBEPP41GrTpTJgfdBJ7gKXxAjgUCZp2C+QAKCRDdBJ7gKXxA joTkAQDvjqOoFStqk4GU3OXMYB7WCU/ZQMFG0iuu1EEwTVDZ4QEA8CnG7seek1R3 xEoo+vw0sWWeLV3qzsxnCA1BJ8cTJA8= =z0Lf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'mm-stable-2024-07-21-14-50' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - In the series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling" Jan Kara addresses a couple of issues in the writeback throttling code.

ARM:
* Initial infrastructure for shadow stage-2 MMUs, as part of nested virtualization enablement * Support for userspace changes to the guest CTR_EL0 value, enabling (in part) migration of VMs between heterogenous hardware * Fixes + improvements to pKVM's FF-A proxy, adding support for v1.1 of the protocol * FPSIMD/SVE support for nested, including merged trap configuration and exception routing * New command-line parameter to control the WFx trap behavior under KVM * Introduce kCFI hardening in the EL2 hypervisor * Fixes + cleanups for handling presence/absence of FEAT_TCRX * Miscellaneous fixes + documentation updates LoongArch: * Add paravirt steal time support. * Add support for KVM_DIRTY_LOG_INITIALLY_SET. * Add perf kvm-stat support for loongarch. RISC-V: * Redirect AMO load/store access fault traps to guest * perf kvm stat support * Use guest files for IMSIC virtualization, when available ONE_REG support for the Zimop, Zcmop, Zca, Zcf, Zcd, Zcb and Zawrs ISA extensions is coming through the RISC-V tree. s390: * Assortment of tiny fixes which are not time critical x86: * Fixes for Xen emulation. * Add a global struct to consolidate tracking of host values, e.g. EFER * Add KVM_CAP_X86_APIC_BUS_CYCLES_NS to allow configuring the effective APIC bus frequency, because TDX. * Print the name of the APICv/AVIC inhibits in the relevant tracepoint. * Clean up KVM's handling of vendor specific emulation to consistently act on "compatible with Intel/AMD", versus checking for a specific vendor. * Drop MTRR virtualization, and instead always honor guest PAT on CPUs that support self-snoop. * Update to the newfangled Intel CPU FMS infrastructure. * Don't advertise IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_OVF_CTRL as an MSR-to-be-saved, as it reads '0' and writes from userspace are ignored. * Misc cleanups x86 - MMU: * Small cleanups, renames and refactoring extracted from the upcoming Intel TDX support. * Don't allocate kvm_mmu_page.shadowed_translation for shadow pages that can't hold leafs SPTEs. * Unconditionally drop mmu_lock when allocating TDP MMU page tables for eager page splitting, to avoid stalling vCPUs when splitting huge pages. * Bug the VM instead of simply warning if KVM tries to split a SPTE that is non-present or not-huge. KVM is guaranteed to end up in a broken state because the callers fully expect a valid SPTE, it's all but dangerous to let more MMU changes happen afterwards. x86 - AMD: * Make per-CPU save_area allocations NUMA-aware. * Force sev_es_host_save_area() to be inlined to avoid calling into an instrumentable function from noinstr code. * Base support for running SEV-SNP guests. API-wise, this includes a new KVM_X86_SNP_VM type, encrypting/measure the initial image into guest memory, and finalizing it before launching it. Internally, there are some gmem/mmu hooks needed to prepare gmem-allocated pages before mapping them into guest private memory ranges. This includes basic support for attestation guest requests, enough to say that KVM supports the GHCB 2.0 specification. There is no support yet for loading into the firmware those signing keys to be used for attestation requests, and therefore no need yet for the host to provide certificate data for those keys. To support fetching certificate data from userspace, a new KVM exit type will be needed to handle fetching the certificate from userspace. An attempt to define a new KVM_EXIT_COCO/KVM_EXIT_COCO_REQ_CERTS exit type to handle this was introduced in v1 of this patchset, but is still being discussed by community, so for now this patchset only implements a stub version of SNP Extended Guest Requests that does not provide certificate data. x86 - Intel: * Remove an unnecessary EPT TLB flush when enabling hardware. * Fix a series of bugs that cause KVM to fail to detect nested pending posted interrupts as valid wake eents for a vCPU executing HLT in L2 (with HLT-exiting disable by L1). * KVM: x86: Suppress MMIO that is triggered during task switch emulation Explicitly suppress userspace emulated MMIO exits that are triggered when emulating a task switch as KVM doesn't support userspace MMIO during complex (multi-step) emulation. Silently ignoring the exit request can result in the WARN_ON_ONCE(vcpu->mmio_needed) firing if KVM exits to userspace for some other reason prior to purging mmio_needed. See commit |

However, we could easily bring it back if needed. With recent developments regarding confidential VMs and unaccepted memory, combined with kexec, creating a known inaccurate view of the firmware's memory map and handing it to the OS is a feature we can live without, hence the removal.

PCI: Extend ACS configurability
PCIe ACS settings control the level of isolation and the possible P2P paths between devices. With greater isolation the kernel will create smaller iommu_groups and with less isolation there is more HW that can achieve P2P transfers. From a virtualization perspective all devices in the same iommu_group must be assigned to the same VM as they lack security isolation. There is no way for the kernel to automatically know the correct ACS settings for any given system and workload. Existing command line options (e.g., disable_acs_redir) allow only for large scale change, disabling all isolation, but this is not sufficient for more complex cases. Add a kernel command-line option 'config_acs' to directly control all the ACS bits for specific devices, which allows the operator to setup the right level of isolation to achieve the desired P2P configuration. The definition is future proof; when new ACS bits are added to the spec the open syntax can be extended. ACS needs to be setup early in the kernel boot as the ACS settings affect how iommu_groups are formed. iommu_group formation is a one time event during initial device discovery, so changing ACS bits after kernel boot can result in an inaccurate view of the iommu_groups compared to the current isolation configuration. ACS applies to PCIe Downstream Ports and multi-function devices. The default ACS settings are strict and deny any direct traffic between two functions. This results in the smallest iommu_group the HW can support. Frequently these values result in slow or non-working P2PDMA. ACS offers a range of security choices controlling how traffic is allowed to go directly between two devices. Some popular choices: - Full prevention - Translated requests can be direct, with various options - Asymmetric direct traffic, A can reach B but not the reverse - All traffic can be direct Along with some other less common ones for special topologies. The intention is that this option would be used with expert knowledge of the HW capability and workload to achieve the desired configuration.

MIPS: Implement ieee754 NAN2008 emulation mode
Implement ieee754 NAN2008 emulation mode. When this mode is enabled, kernel will accept ELF file compiled for both NaN 2008 and NaN legacy, but if hardware does not have capability to match ELF's NaN mode, __own_fpu will fail for corresponding thread and fpuemu will then kick in. This mode trade performance for correctness, while maintaining support for both NaN mode regardless of hardware capability. It is useful for multilib installation that have both types of binary exist in system.

The xen_nopvspin boot parameter is deprecated since 2019. nopvspin can be used instead. Remove the xen_nopvspin boot parameter and replace the xen_pvspin variable use cases with nopvspin. This requires to move the nopvspin variable out of the .initdata section, as it needs to be accessed for cpuhotplug, too.

xen: make multicall debug boot time selectable
Today Xen multicall debugging needs to be enabled via modifying a define in a source file for getting debug data of multicall errors encountered by users. Switch multicall debugging to depend on a boot parameter "xen_mc_debug" instead, enabling affected users to boot with the new parameter set in order to get better diagnostics. With debugging enabled print the following information in case at least one of the batched calls failed: - all calls of the batch with operation, result and caller - all parameters of each call - all parameters stored in the multicall data for each call Signed-off-by: Juergen Gross <jgross@suse.com> Reviewed-by: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com> Message-ID: <20240710092749.13595-1-jgross@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Juergen Gross <jgross@suse.com> |

LoongArch: KVM: Add PV steal time support in guest side
Per-cpu struct kvm_steal_time is added here, its size is 64 bytes and also defined as 64 bytes, so that the whole structure is in one physical page. When a VCPU is online, function pv_enable_steal_time() is called. This function will pass guest physical address of struct kvm_steal_time and tells hypervisor to enable steal time. When a vcpu is offline, physical address is set as 0 and tells hypervisor to disable steal time. Here is an output of vmstat on guest when there is workload on both host and guest. It shows steal time stat information. procs -----------memory---------- -----io---- -system-- ------cpu----- r b swpd free inact active bi bo in cs us sy id wa st 15 1 0 7583616 184112 72208 20 0 162 52 31 6 43 0 20 17 0 0 7583616 184704 72192 0 0 6318 6885 5 60 8 5 22 16 0 0 7583616 185392 72144 0 0 1766 1081 0 49 0 1 50 16 0 0 7583616 184816 72304 0 0 6300 6166 4 62 12 2 20 18 0 0 7583632 184480 72240 0 0 2814 1754 2 58 4 1 35 Signed-off-by: Bibo Mao <maobibo@loongson.cn> Signed-off-by: Huacai Chen <chenhuacai@loongson.cn> |

rcu: Add rcutree.nohz_full_patience_delay to reduce nohz_full OS jitter
If a CPU is running either a userspace application or a guest OS in nohz_full mode, it is possible for a system call to occur just as an RCU grace period is starting. If that CPU also has the scheduling-clock tick enabled for any reason (such as a second runnable task), and if the system was booted with rcutree.use_softirq=0, then RCU can add insult to injury by awakening that CPU's rcuc kthread, resulting in yet another task and yet more OS jitter due to switching to that task, running it, and switching back. In addition, in the common case where that system call is not of excessively long duration, awakening the rcuc task is pointless. This pointlessness is due to the fact that the CPU will enter an extended quiescent state upon returning to the userspace application or guest OS. In this case, the rcuc kthread cannot do anything that the main RCU grace-period kthread cannot do on its behalf, at least if it is given a few additional milliseconds (for example, given the time duration specified by rcutree.jiffies_till_first_fqs, give or take scheduling delays). This commit therefore adds a rcutree.nohz_full_patience_delay kernel boot parameter that specifies the grace period age (in milliseconds, rounded to jiffies) before which RCU will refrain from awakening the rcuc kthread. Preliminary experimentation suggests a value of 1000, that is, one second. Increasing rcutree.nohz_full_patience_delay will increase grace-period latency and in turn increase memory footprint, so systems with constrained memory might choose a smaller value. Systems with less-aggressive OS-jitter requirements might choose the default value of zero, which keeps the traditional immediate-wakeup behavior, thus avoiding increases in grace-period latency.

vmalloc: modify the alloc_vmap_area() error message for better diagnostics
'vmap allocation for size %lu failed: use vmalloc=<size> to increase size' The above warning is seen in the kernel functionality for allocation of the restricted virtual memory range till exhaustion. This message is misleading because 'vmalloc=' is supported on arm32, x86 platforms and is not a valid kernel parameter on a number of other platforms (in particular its not supported on arm64, alpha, loongarch, arc, csky, hexagon, microblaze, mips, nios2, openrisc, parisc, m64k, powerpc, riscv, sh, um, xtensa, s390, sparc).

x86/efi: Drop support for fake EFI memory maps
Between kexec and confidential VM support, handling the EFI memory maps correctly on x86 is already proving to be rather difficult (as opposed to other EFI architectures which manage to never modify the EFI memory map to begin with) EFI fake memory map support is essentially a development hack (for testing new support for the 'special purpose' and 'more reliable' EFI memory attributes) that leaked into production code. The regions marked in this manner are not actually recognized as such by the firmware itself or the EFI stub (and never have), and marking memory as 'more reliable' seems rather futile if the underlying memory is just ordinary RAM. Marking memory as 'special purpose' in this way is also dubious, but may be in use in production code nonetheless. However, the same should be achievable by using the memmap= command line option with the ! operator. EFI fake memmap support is not enabled by any of the major distros (Debian, Fedora, SUSE, Ubuntu) and does not exist on other architectures, so let's drop support for it.

mm/memblock: Add "reserve_mem" to reserved named memory at boot up
In order to allow for requesting a memory region that can be used for things like pstore on multiple machines where the memory layout is not the same, add a new option to the kernel command line called "reserve_mem". The format is: reserve_mem=nn:align:name Where it will find nn amount of memory at the given alignment of align. The name field is to allow another subsystem to retrieve where the memory was found. For example: reserve_mem=12M:4096:oops ramoops.mem_name=oops Where ramoops.mem_name will tell ramoops that memory was reserved for it via the reserve_mem option and it can find it by calling: if (reserve_mem_find_by_name("oops", &start, &size)) { // start holds the start address and size holds the size given This is typically used for systems that do not wipe the RAM, and this command line will try to reserve the same physical memory on soft reboots. Note, it is not guaranteed to be the same location. For example, if KASLR places the kernel at the location of where the RAM reservation was from a previous boot, the new reservation will be at a different location. Any subsystem using this feature must add a way to verify that the contents of the physical memory is from a previous boot, as there may be cases where the memory will not be located at the same location. Not all systems may work either. There could be bit flips if the reboot goes through the BIOS. Using kexec to reboot the machine is likely to have better results in such cases.

Revert "mm: init_mlocked_on_free_v3"
There was insufficient review and no agreement that this is the right
approach.
There are serious flaws with the implementation that make processes using
mlock() not even work with simple fork() [1] and we get reliable crashes
when rebooting.
Further, simply because we might be unmapping a single PTE of a large
mlocked folio, we shouldn't zero out the whole folio.
... especially because the code can also *corrupt* urelated memory because
kernel_init_pages(page, folio_nr_pages(folio));
Could end up writing outside of the actual folio if we work with a tail
page.
Let's revert it. Once there is agreement that this is the right approach,
the issues were fixed and there was reasonable review and proper testing,
we can consider it again.

KVM: arm64: Add early_param to control WFx trapping
Add an early_params to control WFI and WFE trapping. This is to control the degree guests can wait for interrupts on their own without being trapped by KVM. Options for each param are trap and notrap. trap enables the trap. notrap disables the trap. Note that when enabled, traps are allowed but not guaranteed by the CPU architecture. Absent an explicitly set policy, default to current behavior: disabling the trap if only a single task is running and enabling otherwise.

sched/core: Drop spinlocks on contention iff kernel is preemptible
Use preempt_model_preemptible() to detect a preemptible kernel when
deciding whether or not to reschedule in order to drop a contended
spinlock or rwlock. Because PREEMPT_DYNAMIC selects PREEMPTION, kernels
built with PREEMPT_DYNAMIC=y will yield contended locks even if the live
preemption model is "none" or "voluntary". In short, make kernels with
dynamically selected models behave the same as kernels with statically
selected models.
Somewhat counter-intuitively, NOT yielding a lock can provide better
latency for the relevant tasks/processes. E.g. KVM x86's mmu_lock, a
rwlock, is often contended between an invalidation event (takes mmu_lock
for write) and a vCPU servicing a guest page fault (takes mmu_lock for
read). For _some_ setups, letting the invalidation task complete even
if there is mmu_lock contention provides lower latency for *all* tasks,
i.e. the invalidation completes sooner *and* the vCPU services the guest
page fault sooner.
But even KVM's mmu_lock behavior isn't uniform, e.g. the "best" behavior
can vary depending on the host VMM, the guest workload, the number of
vCPUs, the number of pCPUs in the host, why there is lock contention, etc.
In other words, simply deleting the CONFIG_PREEMPTION guard (or doing the
opposite and removing contention yielding entirely) needs to come with a
big pile of data proving that changing the status quo is a net positive.
Opportunistically document this side effect of preempt=full, as yielding
contended spinlocks can have significant, user-visible impact.

platform/x86: touchscreen_dmi: Add support for setting touchscreen properties from cmdline
On x86/ACPI platforms touchscreens mostly just work without needing any device/model specific configuration. But in some cases (mostly with Silead and Goodix touchscreens) it is still necessary to manually specify various touchscreen-properties on a per model basis. touchscreen_dmi is a special place for DMI quirks for this, but it can be challenging for users to figure out the right property values, especially for Silead touchscreens where non of these can be read back from the touchscreen-controller. ATM users can only test touchscreen properties by editing touchscreen_dmi.c and then building a completely new kernel which makes it unnecessary difficult for users to test and submit properties when necessary for their laptop / tablet model. Add support for specifying properties on the kernel commandline to allow users to easily figure out the right settings. See the added documentation in kernel-parameters.txt for the commandline syntax.
