11 daysPCI: Correct PCI_CAP_EXP_ENDPOINT_SIZEOF_V2 valueBjorn Helgaas1-1/+1
fb82437fdd8c ("PCI: Change capability register offsets to hex") incorrectly converted the PCI_CAP_EXP_ENDPOINT_SIZEOF_V2 value from decimal 52 to hex 0x32: -#define PCI_CAP_EXP_ENDPOINT_SIZEOF_V2 52 /* v2 endpoints with link end here */ +#define PCI_CAP_EXP_ENDPOINT_SIZEOF_V2 0x32 /* end of v2 EPs w/ link */ This broke PCI capabilities in a VMM because subsequent ones weren't DWORD-aligned. Change PCI_CAP_EXP_ENDPOINT_SIZEOF_V2 to the correct value of 0x34. fb82437fdd8c was from Baruch Siach <baruch@tkos.co.il>, but this was not Baruch's fault; it's a mistake I made when applying the patch.

2026-02-23rseq: slice ext: Ensure rseq feature size differs from original rseq sizeMathieu Desnoyers1-4/+22
Before rseq became extensible, its original size was 32 bytes even though the active rseq area was only 20 bytes. This had the following impact in terms of userspace ecosystem evolution: * The GNU libc between 2.35 and 2.39 expose a __rseq_size symbol set to 32, even though the size of the active rseq area is really 20. * The GNU libc 2.40 changes this __rseq_size to 20, thus making it express the active rseq area. * Starting from glibc 2.41, __rseq_size corresponds to the AT_RSEQ_FEATURE_SIZE from getauxval(3). This means that users of __rseq_size can always expect it to correspond to the active rseq area, except for the value 32, for which the active rseq area is 20 bytes. Exposing a 32 bytes feature size would make life needlessly painful for userspace. Therefore, add a reserved field at the end of the rseq area to bump the feature size to 33 bytes. This reserved field is expected to be replaced with whatever field will come next, expecting that this field will be larger than 1 byte. The effect of this change is to increase the size from 32 to 64 bytes before we actually have fields using that memory. Clarify the allocation size and alignment requirements in the struct rseq uapi comment. Change the value returned by getauxval(AT_RSEQ_ALIGN) to return the value of the active rseq area size rounded up to next power of 2, which guarantees that the rseq structure will always be aligned on the nearest power of two large enough to contain it, even as it grows. Change the alignment check in the rseq registration accordingly. This will minimize the amount of ABI corner-cases we need to document and require userspace to play games with. The rule stays simple when __rseq_size != 32: #define rseq_field_available(field) (__rseq_size >= offsetofend(struct rseq_abi, field)) Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260220200642.1317826-3-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com

Musl defines its own struct ethhdr and thus defines __UAPI_DEF_ETHHDR to zero. To avoid struct redefinition errors, user space is therefore supposed to include netinet/if_ether.h before (or instead of) linux/if_ether.h.

2026-02-16io_uring/bpf_filter: pass in expected filter payload sizeJens Axboe1-1/+7
It's quite possible that opcodes that have payloads attached to them, like IORING_OP_OPENAT/OPENAT2 or IORING_OP_SOCKET, that these paylods can change over time. For example, on the openat/openat2 side, the struct open_how argument is extensible, and could be extended in the future to allow further arguments to be passed in. Allow registration of a cBPF filter to give the size of the filter as seen by userspace. If that filter is for an opcode that takes extra payload data, allow it if the application payload expectation is the same size than the kernels. If that is the case, the kernel supports filtering on the payload that the application expects. If the size differs, the behavior depends on the IO_URING_BPF_FILTER_SZ_STRICT flag: 1) If IO_URING_BPF_FILTER_SZ_STRICT is set and the size expectation differs, fail the attempt to load the filter. 2) If IO_URING_BPF_FILTER_SZ_STRICT isn't set, allow the filter if the userspace pdu size is smaller than what the kernel offers. 3) Regardless if IO_URING_BPF_FILTER_SZ_STRICT, fail loading the filter if the userspace pdu size is bigger than what the kernel supports. An attempt to load a filter due to sizing will error with -EMSGSIZE. For that error, the registration struct will have filter->pdu_size populated with the pdu size that the kernel uses.

This is a significant improvement for large-range close operations on sparse file descriptor tables. - Add FS_XFLAG_VERITY file attribute for fs-verity files, retrievable via FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR and file_getattr(). The flag is read-only. Add tracepoints for fs-verity enable and verify operations, replacing the previously removed debug printk's. - Prevent nfsd from exporting special kernel filesystems like pidfs and nsfs. These filesystems have custom ->open() and ->permission() export methods that are designed for open_by_handle_at(2) only and are incompatible with nfsd. Update the exportfs documentation accordingly. Fixes: - Fix KMSAN uninit-value in ovl_fill_real() where strcmp() was used on a non-null-terminated decrypted directory entry name from fscrypt. This triggered on encrypted lower layers when the decrypted name buffer contained uninitialized tail data. The fix also adds VFS-level name_is_dot(), name_is_dotdot(), and name_is_dot_dotdot() helpers, replacing various open-coded "." and ".." checks across the tree. - Fix read-only fsflags not being reset together with xflags in vfs_fileattr_set().

This however was a lot of code (~3K lines) in order to support KVM, and also blocked several features. The biggest advantages is that the page size of userspace is completely independent of the page size used by the guest: userspace can mix normal pages, THPs and hugetlbfs as it sees fit, and in fact transparent hugepages were not possible before. It's also now possible to have nested guests and guests with huge pages running on the same host - Maintainership change for s390 vfio-pci - Small quality of life improvement for protected guests x86: - Add support for giving the guest full ownership of PMU hardware (contexted switched around the fastpath run loop) and allowing direct access to data MSRs and PMCs (restricted by the vPMU model). KVM still intercepts access to control registers, e.g. to enforce event filtering and to prevent the guest from profiling sensitive host state. This is more accurate, since it has no risk of contention and thus dropped events, and also has significantly less overhead. For more information, see the commit message for merge commit bf2c3138ae36 ("Merge tag 'kvm-x86-pmu-6.20' ...") - Disallow changing the virtual CPU model if L2 is active, for all the same reasons KVM disallows change the model after the first KVM_RUN - Fix a bug where KVM would incorrectly reject host accesses to PV MSRs when running with KVM_CAP_ENFORCE_PV_FEATURE_CPUID enabled, even if those were advertised as supported to userspace, - Fix a bug with protected guest state (SEV-ES/SNP and TDX) VMs, where KVM would attempt to read CR3 configuring an async #PF entry - Fail the build if EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL or EXPORT_SYMBOL is used in KVM (for x86 only) to enforce usage of EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_KVM_INTERNAL. Only a few exports that are intended for external usage, and those are allowed explicitly - When checking nested events after a vCPU is unblocked, ignore -EBUSY instead of WARNing. Userspace can sometimes put the vCPU into what should be an impossible state, and spurious exit to userspace on -EBUSY does not really do anything to solve the issue - Also throw in the towel and drop the WARN on INIT/SIPI being blocked when vCPU is in Wait-For-SIPI, which also resulted in playing whack-a-mole with syzkaller stuffing architecturally impossible states into KVM - Add support for new Intel instructions that don't require anything beyond enumerating feature flags to userspace - Grab SRCU when reading PDPTRs in KVM_GET_SREGS2 - Add WARNs to guard against modifying KVM's CPU caps outside of the intended setup flow, as nested VMX in particular is sensitive to unexpected changes in KVM's golden configuration - Add a quirk to allow userspace to opt-in to actually suppress EOI broadcasts when the suppression feature is enabled by the guest (currently limited to split IRQCHIP, i.e. userspace I/O APIC). Sadly, simply fixing KVM to honor Suppress EOI Broadcasts isn't an option as some userspaces have come to rely on KVM's buggy behavior (KVM advertises Supress EOI Broadcast irrespective of whether or not userspace I/O APIC supports Directed EOIs) - Clean up KVM's handling of marking mapped vCPU pages dirty - Drop a pile of *ancient* sanity checks hidden behind in KVM's unused ASSERT() macro, most of which could be trivially triggered by the guest and/or user, and all of which were useless - Fold "struct dest_map" into its sole user, "struct rtc_status", to make it more obvious what the weird parameter is used for, and to allow fropping these RTC shenanigans if CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=n - Bury all of ioapic.h, i8254.h and related ioctls (including KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP) behind CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=y - Add a regression test for recent APICv update fixes - Handle "hardware APIC ISR", a.k.a. SVI, updates in kvm_apic_update_apicv() to consolidate the updates, and to co-locate SVI updates with the updates for KVM's own cache of ISR information - Drop a dead function declaration - Minor cleanups x86 (Intel): - Rework KVM's handling of VMCS updates while L2 is active to temporarily switch to vmcs01 instead of deferring the update until the next nested VM-Exit. The deferred updates approach directly contributed to several bugs, was proving to be a maintenance burden due to the difficulty in auditing the correctness of deferred updates, and was polluting "struct nested_vmx" with a growing pile of booleans - Fix an SGX bug where KVM would incorrectly try to handle EPCM page faults, and instead always reflect them into the guest. Since KVM doesn't shadow EPCM entries, EPCM violations cannot be due to KVM interference and can't be resolved by KVM - Fix a bug where KVM would register its posted interrupt wakeup handler even if loading kvm-intel.ko ultimately failed - Disallow access to vmcb12 fields that aren't fully supported, mostly to avoid weirdness and complexity for FRED and other features, where KVM wants enable VMCS shadowing for fields that conditionally exist - Print out the "bad" offsets and values if kvm-intel.ko refuses to load (or refuses to online a CPU) due to a VMCS config mismatch x86 (AMD): - Drop a user-triggerable WARN on nested_svm_load_cr3() failure - Add support for virtualizing ERAPS. Note, correct virtualization of ERAPS relies on an upcoming, publicly announced change in the APM to reduce the set of conditions where hardware (i.e. KVM) *must* flush the RAP - Ignore nSVM intercepts for instructions that are not supported according to L1's virtual CPU model - Add support for expedited writes to the fast MMIO bus, a la VMX's fastpath for EPT Misconfig - Don't set GIF when clearing EFER.SVME, as GIF exists independently of SVM, and allow userspace to restore nested state with GIF=0 - Treat exit_code as an unsigned 64-bit value through all of KVM - Add support for fetching SNP certificates from userspace - Fix a bug where KVM would use vmcb02 instead of vmcb01 when emulating VMLOAD or VMSAVE on behalf of L2 - Misc fixes and cleanups x86 selftests: - Add a regression test for TPR<=>CR8 synchronization and IRQ masking - Overhaul selftest's MMU infrastructure to genericize stage-2 MMU support, and extend x86's infrastructure to support EPT and NPT (for L2 guests) - Extend several nested VMX tests to also cover nested SVM - Add a selftest for nested VMLOAD/VMSAVE - Rework the nested dirty log test, originally added as a regression test for PML where KVM logged L2 GPAs instead of L1 GPAs, to improve test coverage and to hopefully make the test easier to understand and maintain guest_memfd: - Remove kvm_gmem_populate()'s preparation tracking and half-baked hugepage handling. SEV/SNP was the only user of the tracking and it can do it via the RMP - Retroactively document and enforce (for SNP) that KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE and KVM_TDX_INIT_MEM_REGION require the source page to be 4KiB aligned, to avoid non-trivial complexity for something that no known VMM seems to be doing and to avoid an API special case for in-place conversion, which simply can't support unaligned sources - When populating guest_memfd memory, GUP the source page in common code and pass the refcounted page to the vendor callback, instead of letting vendor code do the heavy lifting. Doing so avoids a looming deadlock bug with in-place due an AB-BA conflict betwee mmap_lock and guest_memfd's filemap invalidate lock Generic: - Fix a bug where KVM would ignore the vCPU's selected address space when creating a vCPU-specific mapping of guest memory. Actually this bug could not be hit even on x86, the only architecture with multiple address spaces, but it's a bug nevertheless" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (267 commits) KVM: s390: Increase permitted SE header size to 1 MiB MAINTAINERS: Replace backup for s390 vfio-pci KVM: s390: vsie: Fix race in acquire_gmap_shadow() KVM: s390: vsie: Fix race in walk_guest_tables() KVM: s390: Use guest address to mark guest page dirty irqchip/riscv-imsic: Adjust the number of available guest irq files RISC-V: KVM: Transparent huge page support RISC-V: KVM: selftests: Add Zalasr extensions to get-reg-list test RISC-V: KVM: Allow Zalasr extensions for Guest/VM KVM: riscv: selftests: Add riscv vm satp modes KVM: riscv: selftests: add Zilsd and Zclsd extension to get-reg-list test riscv: KVM: allow Zilsd and Zclsd extensions for Guest/VM RISC-V: KVM: Skip IMSIC update if vCPU IMSIC state is not initialized RISC-V: KVM: Fix null pointer dereference in kvm_riscv_aia_imsic_rw_attr() RISC-V: KVM: Fix null pointer dereference in kvm_riscv_aia_imsic_has_attr() RISC-V: KVM: Remove unnecessary 'ret' assignment KVM: s390: Add explicit padding to struct kvm_s390_keyop KVM: LoongArch: selftests: Add steal time test case LoongArch: KVM: Add paravirt vcpu_is_preempted() support in guest side LoongArch: KVM: Add paravirt preempt feature in hypervisor side ...

Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever: "Neil Brown and Jeff Layton contributed a dynamic thread pool sizing mechanism for NFSD. The sunrpc layer now tracks minimum and maximum thread counts per pool, and NFSD adjusts running thread counts based on workload: idle threads exit after a timeout when the pool exceeds its minimum, and new threads spawn automatically when all threads are busy. Administrators control this behavior via the nfsdctl netlink interface. Rick Macklem, FreeBSD NFS maintainer, generously contributed server- side support for the POSIX ACL extension to NFSv4, as specified in draft-ietf-nfsv4-posix-acls. This extension allows NFSv4 clients to get and set POSIX access and default ACLs using native NFSv4 operations, eliminating the need for sideband protocols. The feature is gated by a Kconfig option since the IETF draft has not yet been ratified. Chuck Lever delivered numerous improvements to the xdrgen tool. Error reporting now covers parsing, AST transformation, and invalid declarations. Generated enum decoders validate incoming values against valid enumerator
