Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
"The biggest changes are MPAM enablement in drivers/resctrl and new PMU
support under drivers/perf.
On the core side, FEAT_LSUI lets futex atomic operations with EL0
permissions, avoiding PAN toggling.
The rest is mostly TLB invalidation refactoring, further generic entry
work, sysreg updates and a few fixes.
Core features:
- Add support for FEAT_LSUI, allowing futex atomic operations without
toggling Privileged Access Never (PAN)
- Further refactor the arm64 exception handling code towards the
generic entry infrastructure
- Optimise __READ_ONCE() with CONFIG_LTO=y and allow alias analysis
through it
Memory management:
- Refactor the arm64 TLB invalidation API and implementation for
better control over barrier placement and level-hinted invalidation
- Enable batched TLB flushes during memory hot-unplug
- Fix rodata=full block mapping support for realm guests (when
BBML2_NOABORT is available)
Perf and PMU:
- Add support for a whole bunch of system PMUs featured in NVIDIA's
Tegra410 SoC (cspmu extensions for the fabric and PCIe, new drivers
for CPU/C2C memory latency PMUs)
- Clean up iomem resource handling in the Arm CMN driver
- Fix signedness handling of AA64DFR0.{PMUVer,PerfMon}
MPAM (Memory Partitioning And Monitoring):
- Add architecture context-switch and hiding of the feature from KVM
- Add interface to allow MPAM to be exposed to user-space using
resctrl
- Add errata workaround for some existing platforms
- Add documentation for using MPAM and what shape of platforms can
use resctrl
Miscellaneous:
- Check DAIF (and PMR, where relevant) at task-switch time
- Skip TFSR_EL1 checks and barriers in synchronous MTE tag check mode
(only relevant to asynchronous or asymmetric tag check modes)
- Remove a duplicate allocation in the kexec code
- Remove redundant save/restore of SCS SP on entry to/from EL0
- Generate the KERNEL_HWCAP_ definitions from the arm64 hwcap
descriptions
- Add kselftest coverage for cmpbr_sigill()
- Update sysreg definitions"

The generic irqentry code has entry/exit functions specifically for
exceptions taken from user mode, but doesn't have entry/exit functions
specifically for exceptions taken from kernel mode.
It would be helpful to have separate entry/exit functions specifically
for exceptions taken from kernel mode. This would make the structure of
the entry code more consistent, and would make it easier for
architectures to manage logic specific to exceptions taken from kernel
mode.
Move the logic specific to kernel mode out of irqentry_enter() and
irqentry_exit() into new irqentry_enter_from_kernel_mode() and
irqentry_exit_to_kernel_mode() functions. These are marked
__always_inline and placed in irq-entry-common.h, as with
irqentry_enter_from_user_mode() and irqentry_exit_to_user_mode(), so
that they can be inlined into architecture-specific wrappers. The
existing out-of-line irqentry_enter() and irqentry_exit() functions
retained as callers of the new functions.
The lockdep assertion from irqentry_exit() is moved into
irqentry_exit_to_user_mode() and irqentry_exit_to_kernel_mode(). This
was previously missing from irqentry_exit_to_user_mode() when called
directly, and any new lockdep assertion failure relating from this
change is a latent bug.
Aside from the lockdep change noted above, there should be no functional
change as a result of this change.

local_irq_enable_exit_to_user() and local_irq_disable_exit_to_user() are
never overridden by architecture code, and are always equivalent to
local_irq_enable() and local_irq_disable().
These functions were added on the assumption that arm64 would override
them to manage 'DAIF' exception masking, as described by Thomas Gleixner
in these threads:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20190919150809.340471236@linutronix.de/
https://lore.kernel.org/all/alpine.DEB.2.21.1910240119090.1852@nanos.tec.linutronix.de/
In practice arm64 did not need to override either. Prior to moving to
the generic irqentry code, arm64's management of DAIF was reworked in
commit:
97d935faacde ("arm64: Unmask Debug + SError in do_notify_resume()")
Since that commit, arm64 only masks interrupts during the 'prepare' step
when returning to user mode, and masks other DAIF exceptions later.
Within arm64_exit_to_user_mode(), the arm64 entry code is as follows:
local_irq_disable();
exit_to_user_mode_prepare_legacy(regs);
local_daif_mask();
mte_check_tfsr_exit();
exit_to_user_mode();
Remove the unnecessary local_irq_enable_exit_to_user() and
local_irq_disable_exit_to_user() functions.

The hrtimer interrupt expires timers and at the end of the interrupt it
rearms the clockevent device for the next expiring timer.
That's obviously correct, but in the case that a expired timer sets
NEED_RESCHED the return from interrupt ends up in schedule(). If HRTICK is
enabled then schedule() will modify the hrtick timer, which causes another
reprogramming of the hardware.
That can be avoided by deferring the rearming to the return from interrupt
path and if the return results in a immediate schedule() invocation then it
can be deferred until the end of schedule(), which avoids multiple rearms
and re-evaluation of the timer wheel.
As this is only relevant for interrupt to user return split the work masks
up and hand them in as arguments from the relevant exit to user functions,
which allows the compiler to optimize the deferred handling out for the
syscall exit to user case.
Add the rearm checks to the approritate places in the exit to user loop and
the interrupt return to kernel path, so that the rearming is always
guaranteed.
In the return to user space path this is handled in the same way as
TIF_RSEQ to avoid extra instructions in the fast path, which are truly
hurtful for device interrupt heavy work loads as the extra instructions and
conditionals while benign at first sight accumulate quickly into measurable
regressions. The return from syscall path is completely unaffected due to
the above mentioned split so syscall heavy workloads wont have any extra
burden.
For now this is just placing empty stubs at the right places which are all
optimized out by the compiler until the actual functionality is in place.

After switching ARM64 to the generic entry code, a syscall_exit_work()
appeared as a profiling hotspot because it is not inlined.
Inlining both syscall_trace_enter() and syscall_exit_work() provides a
performance gain when any of the work items is enabled. With audit enabled
this results in a ~4% performance gain for perf bench basic syscall on
a kunpeng920 system:
| Metric | Baseline | Inlined | Change |
| ---------- | ----------- | ----------- | ------ |
| Total time | 2.353 [sec] | 2.264 [sec] | ↓3.8% |
| usecs/op | 0.235374 | 0.226472 | ↓3.8% |
| ops/sec | 4,248,588 | 4,415,554 | ↑3.9% |
Small gains can be observed on x86 as well, though the generated code
optimizes for the work case, which is counterproductive for high
performance scenarios where such entry/exit work is usually avoided.
Avoid this by marking the work check in syscall_enter_from_user_mode_work()
unlikely, which is what the corresponding check in the exit path does
already.

The kernel sets SYSCALL_WORK_RSEQ_SLICE when it grants a time slice
extension. This allows to handle the rseq_slice_yield() syscall, which is
used by user space to relinquish the CPU after finishing the critical
section for which it requested an extension.
In case the kernel state is still GRANTED, the kernel resets both kernel
and user space state with a set of sanity checks. If the kernel state is
already cleared, then this raced against the timer or some other interrupt
and just clears the work bit.
Doing it in syscall entry work allows to catch misbehaving user space,
which issues an arbitrary syscall, i.e. not rseq_slice_yield(), from the
critical section. Contrary to the initial strict requirement to use
rseq_slice_yield() arbitrary syscalls are not considered a violation of the
ABI contract anymore to allow onion architecture applications, which cannot
control the code inside a critical section, to utilize this as well.
If the code detects inconsistent user space that result in a SIGSEGV for
the application.
If the grant was still active and the task was not preempted yet, the work
code reschedules immediately before continuing through the syscall.

TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME is a multiplexing TIF bit, which is suboptimal especially
with the RSEQ fast path depending on it, but not really handling it.
Define a separate TIF_RSEQ in the generic TIF space and enable the full
separation of fast and slow path for architectures which utilize that.
That avoids the hassle with invocations of resume_user_mode_work() from
hypervisors, which clear TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME. It makes the therefore required
re-evaluation at the end of vcpu_run() a NOOP on architectures which
utilize the generic TIF space and have a separate TIF_RSEQ.
The hypervisor TIF handling does not include the separate TIF_RSEQ as there
is no point in doing so. The guest does neither know nor care about the VMM
host applications RSEQ state. That state is only relevant when the ioctl()
returns to user space.
The fastpath implementation still utilizes TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME for failure
handling, but this only happens within exit_to_user_mode_loop(), so
arguably the hypervisor ioctl() code is long done when this happens.

Now that all bits and pieces are in place, hook the RSEQ handling fast path
function into exit_to_user_mode_prepare() after the TIF work bits have been
handled. If case of fast path failure, TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME has been raised
and the caller needs to take another turn through the TIF handling slow
path.
This only works for architectures which use the generic entry code.
Architectures who still have their own incomplete hacks are not supported
and won't be.
This results in the following improvements:
Kernel build Before After Reduction
exit to user 80692981 80514451
signal checks: 32581 121 99%
slowpath runs: 1201408 1.49% 198 0.00% 100%

signal checks: 35661203 0 100%
slowpath runs: 140542396 36.38% 100 0.00% 100%
fastpath runs: 9509789 2.51% N/A

cs checks: 175587856 45.46% 4728394 1.22% 98%
cs cleared: 172359544 98.16% 1319307 27.90% 99%
cs fixup: 3228312 1.84% 3409087 72.10%
The 'cs cleared' and 'cs fixup' percentages are not relative to the exit to
user invocations, they are relative to the actual 'cs check' invocations.
While some of this could have been avoided in the original code, like the
obvious clearing of CS when it's already clear, the main problem of going
through TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME cannot be solved. In some workloads the RSEQ
notify handler is invoked more than once before going out to user
space. Doing this once when everything has stabilized is the only solution
to avoid this.
The initial attempt to completely decouple it from the TIF work turned out
to be suboptimal for workloads, which do a lot of quick and short system
calls. Even if the fast path decision is only 4 instructions (including a
conditional branch), this adds up quickly and becomes measurable when the
rate for actually having to handle rseq is in the low single digit
percentage range of user/kernel transitions.

Move KVM's morphing of pending signals into userspace exits into KVM
proper, and drop the @vcpu param from xfer_to_guest_mode_handle_work().
How KVM responds to -EINTR is a detail that really belongs in KVM itself,
and invoking kvm_handle_signal_exit() from kernel code creates an inverted
module dependency. E.g. attempting to move kvm_handle_signal_exit() into
kvm_main.c would generate an linker error when building kvm.ko as a module.
Dropping KVM details will also converting the KVM "entry" code into a more
generic virtualization framework so that it can be used when running as a
Hyper-V root partition.
Lastly, eliminating usage of "struct kvm_vcpu" outside of KVM is also nice
to have for KVM x86 developers, as keeping the details of kvm_vcpu purely
within KVM allows changing the layout of the structure without having to
boot into a new kernel, e.g. allows rebuilding and reloading kvm.ko with a
modified kvm_vcpu structure as part of debug/development.

Compared to the generic entry code, ARM64 does additional checks
when deciding to reschedule on return from interrupt. So introduce
arch_irqentry_exit_need_resched() in the need_resched()
condition of the generic raw_irqentry_exit_cond_resched(), with
a NOP default. This will allow ARM64 to implement the architecture
specific version for switching over to the generic entry code.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM:
- Host driver for GICv5, the next generation interrupt controller for
arm64, including support for interrupt routing, MSIs, interrupt
translation and wired interrupts
- Use FEAT_GCIE_LEGACY on GICv5 systems to virtualize GICv3 VMs on
GICv5 hardware, leveraging the legacy VGIC interface
- Userspace control of the 'nASSGIcap' GICv3 feature, allowing
userspace to disable support for SGIs w/o an active state on
hardware that previously advertised it unconditionally
- Map supporting endpoints with cacheable memory attributes on
systems with FEAT_S2FWB and DIC where KVM no longer needs to
perform cache maintenance on the address range
- Nested support for FEAT_RAS and FEAT_DoubleFault2, allowing the
guest hypervisor to inject external aborts into an L2 VM and take
traps of masked external aborts to the hypervisor
- Convert more system register sanitization to the config-driven
implementation
- Fixes to the visibility of EL2 registers, namely making VGICv3
system registers accessible through the VGIC device instead of the
ONE_REG vCPU ioctls
- Various cleanups and minor fixes
LoongArch:
- Add stat information for in-kernel irqchip
- Add tracepoints for CPUCFG and CSR emulation exits
- Enhance in-kernel irqchip emulation
- Various cleanups
RISC-V:
- Enable ring-based dirty memory tracking
- Improve perf kvm stat to report interrupt events
- Delegate illegal instruction trap to VS-mode
- MMU improvements related to upcoming nested virtualization
s390x
- Fixes
x86:
- Add CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC for x86 to allow disabling support for I/O
APIC, PIC, and PIT emulation at compile time
- Share device posted IRQ code between SVM and VMX and harden it
against bugs and runtime errors
- Use vcpu_idx, not vcpu_id, for GA log tag/metadata, to make lookups
O(1) instead of O(n)
- For MMIO stale data mitigation, track whether or not a vCPU has
access to (host) MMIO based on whether the page tables have MMIO
pfns mapped; using VFIO is prone to false negatives
- Rework the MSR interception code so that the SVM and VMX APIs are
more or less identical
- Recalculate all MSR intercepts from scratch on MSR filter changes,
instead of maintaining shadow bitmaps
- Advertise support for LKGS (Load Kernel GS base), a new instruction
that's loosely related to FRED, but is supported and enumerated
independently
- Fix a user-triggerable WARN that syzkaller found by setting the
vCPU in INIT_RECEIVED state (aka wait-for-SIPI), and then putting
the vCPU into VMX Root Mode (post-VMXON). Trying to detect every
possible path leading to architecturally forbidden states is hard
and even risks breaking userspace (if it goes from valid to valid
state but passes through invalid states), so just wait until
KVM_RUN to detect that the vCPU state isn't allowed
- Add KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_APERFMPERF to allow disabling
interception of APERF/MPERF reads, so that a "properly" configured
VM can access APERF/MPERF. This has many caveats (APERF/MPERF
cannot be zeroed on vCPU creation or saved/restored on suspend and
resume, or preserved over thread migration let alone VM migration)
but can be useful whenever you're interested in letting Linux
guests see the effective physical CPU frequency in /proc/cpuinfo
- Reject KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ for vm file descriptors if vCPUs have been
created, as there's no known use case for changing the default
frequency for other VM types and it goes counter to the very reason
why the ioctl was added to the vm file descriptor. And also, there
would be no way to make it work for confidential VMs with a
"secure" TSC, so kill two birds with one stone
- Dynamically allocation the shadow MMU's hashed page list, and defer
allocating the hashed list until it's actually needed (the TDP MMU
doesn't use the list)
- Extract many of KVM's helpers for accessing architectural local
APIC state to common x86 so that they can be shared by guest-side
code for Secure AVIC
- Various cleanups and fixes
x86 (Intel):
- Preserve the host's DEBUGCTL.FREEZE_IN_SMM when running the guest.
Failure to honor FREEZE_IN_SMM can leak host state into guests
- Explicitly check vmcs12.GUEST_DEBUGCTL on nested VM-Enter to
prevent L1 from running L2 with features that KVM doesn't support,
e.g. BTF
x86 (AMD):
- WARN and reject loading kvm-amd.ko instead of panicking the kernel
if the nested SVM MSRPM offsets tracker can't handle an MSR (which
is pretty much a static condition and therefore should never
happen, but still)
- Fix a variety of flaws and bugs in the AVIC device posted IRQ code
- Inhibit AVIC if a vCPU's ID is too big (relative to what hardware
supports) instead of rejecting vCPU creation
- Extend enable_ipiv module param support to SVM, by simply leaving
IsRunning clear in the vCPU's physical ID table entry
- Disable IPI virtualization, via enable_ipiv, if the CPU is affected
by erratum #1235, to allow (safely) enabling AVIC on such CPUs
- Request GA Log interrupts if and only if the target vCPU is
blocking, i.e. only if KVM needs a notification in order to wake
the vCPU
- Intercept SPEC_CTRL on AMD if the MSR shouldn't exist according to
the vCPU's CPUID model
- Accept any SNP policy that is accepted by the firmware with respect
to SMT and single-socket restrictions. An incompatible policy
doesn't put the kernel at risk in any way, so there's no reason for
KVM to care
- Drop a superfluous WBINVD (on all CPUs!) when destroying a VM and
use WBNOINVD instead of WBINVD when possible for SEV cache
maintenance
- When reclaiming memory from an SEV guest, only do cache flushes on
CPUs that have ever run a vCPU for the guest, i.e. don't flush the
caches for CPUs that can't possibly have cache lines with dirty,
encrypted data
Generic:
- Rework irqbypass to track/match producers and consumers via an
xarray instead of a linked list. Using a linked list leads to
O(n^2) insertion times, which is hugely problematic for use cases
that create large numbers of VMs. Such use cases typically don't
actually use irqbypass, but eliminating the pointless registration
is a future problem to solve as it likely requires new uAPI
- Track irqbypass's "token" as "struct eventfd_ctx *" instead of a
"void *", to avoid making a simple concept unnecessarily difficult
to understand
- Decouple device posted IRQs from VFIO device assignment, as binding
a VM to a VFIO group is not a requirement for enabling device
posted IRQs
- Clean up and document/comment the irqfd assignment code
- Disallow binding multiple irqfds to an eventfd with a priority
waiter, i.e. ensure an eventfd is bound to at most one irqfd
through the entire host, and add a selftest to verify eventfd:irqfd
bindings are globally unique
- Add a tracepoint for KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES to help debug issues
related to private <=> shared memory conversions
- Drop guest_memfd's .getattr() implementation as the VFS layer will
call generic_fillattr() if inode_operations.getattr is NULL
- Fix issues with dirty ring harvesting where KVM doesn't bound the
processing of entries in any way, which allows userspace to keep
KVM in a tight loop indefinitely
- Kill off kvm_arch_{start,end}_assignment() and x86's associated
tracking, now that KVM no longer uses assigned_device_count as a
heuristic for either irqbypass usage or MDS mitigation
Selftests:
- Fix a comment typo
- Verify KVM is loaded when getting any KVM module param so that
attempting to run a selftest without kvm.ko loaded results in a
SKIP message about KVM not being loaded/enabled (versus some random
parameter not existing)
- Skip tests that hit EACCES when attempting to access a file, and
print a "Root required?" help message. In most cases, the test just
needs to be run with elevated permissions"

All architectures have an interruptible RCU extended quiescent state
(EQS) as part of their idle sequences, where interrupts can occur
without RCU watching. Entry code must account for this and wake RCU as
necessary; the common entry code deals with this in irqentry_enter() by
treating any interrupt from an idle thread as potentially having
occurred within an EQS and waking RCU for the duration of the interrupt
via rcu_irq_enter() .. rcu_irq_exit().
Some architectures may have other interruptible EQSs which require
similar treatment. For example, on s390 it is necessary to enable
interrupts around guest entry in the middle of a period where core KVM
code has entered an EQS.
So that architectures can wake RCU in these cases, this patch adds a
new arch_in_rcu_eqs() hook to the common entry code which is checked in
addition to the existing is_idle_thread() check, with RCU woken if
either returns true. A default implementation is provided which always
returns false, which suffices for most architectures.
As no architectures currently implement arch_in_rcu_eqs(), there should
be no functional change as a result of this patch alone. A subsequent
patch will add an s390 implementation to fix a latent bug with missing
RCU wakeups.

Prerequisite for ARM[64] generic entry conversion
Merge it into the entry branch so further changes can be based on it.
|
|
Currently CONFIG_GENERIC_ENTRY enables both the generic exception
entry logic and the generic syscall entry logic, which are otherwise
loosely coupled.
Introduce separate config options for these so that architectures can
select the two independently. This will make it easier for
architectures to migrate to generic entry code.

There are two possible scenarios for syscall filtering:
- having a trusted/allowed range of PCs, and intercepting everything else
- or the opposite: a single untrusted/intercepted range and allowing
everything else (this is relevant for any kind of sandboxing scenario,
or monitoring behavior of a single library)
The current API only allows the former use case due to allowed
range wrap-around check. Add PR_SYS_DISPATCH_INCLUSIVE_ON that
enables the second use case.
Add PR_SYS_DISPATCH_EXCLUSIVE_ON alias for PR_SYS_DISPATCH_ON
to make it clear how it's different from the new
PR_SYS_DISPATCH_INCLUSIVE_ON.

well.
Testing was done with the byte-unixbench syscall benchmark (which calls
getpid) and QEMU. On riscv I measured a 7.09246% improvement, on x86 a
2.98843% improvement, on loongarch a 6.07954% improvement, and on s390 a

Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar:
- The biggest change is the new option to automatically fail the build
on objtool warnings: CONFIG_OBJTOOL_WERROR.
While there are no currently known unfixed false positives left, such
an expansion in the severity of objtool warnings inevitably creates a
risk of build failures, so it's disabled by default and depends on
!COMPILE_TEST, so it shouldn't be enabled on
allyesconfig/allmodconfig builds and won't be forced on people who
just accept build-time defaults in 'make oldconfig'.
While the option is strongly recommended, only people who enable it
explicitly should see it.

CONFIG_TRACE_BRANCH_PROFILING inserts a call to ftrace_likely_update()
for each use of likely() or unlikely(). That breaks noinstr rules if
the affected function is annotated as noinstr.
Disable branch profiling for files with noinstr functions. In addition
to some individual files, this also includes the entire arch/x86
subtree, as well as the kernel/entry, drivers/cpuidle, and drivers/idle
directories, all of which are noinstr-heavy.
Due to the nature of how sched binaries are built by combining multiple
.c files into one, branch profiling is disabled more broadly across the
sched code than would otherwise be needed.
This fixes many warnings like the following:
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: do_syscall_64+0x40: call to ftrace_likely_update() leaves .noinstr.text section
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: __rdgsbase_inactive+0x33: call to ftrace_likely_update() leaves .noinstr.text section

When a probe is registered at the trace_sys_enter() tracepoint, and that
probe changes the system call number, the old system call still gets
executed. This worked correctly until commit b6ec41346103 ("core/entry:
Report syscall correctly for trace and audit"), which removed the
re-evaluation of the syscall number after the trace point.
Restore the original semantics by re-evaluating the system call number
after trace_sys_enter().
The performance impact of this re-evaluation is minimal because it only
takes place when a trace point is active, and compared to the actual trace
point overhead the read from a cache hot variable is negligible.

Back when set_fs() was a generic API for altering the address limit,
addr_limit_user_check() was a safety measure to prevent userspace being
able to issue syscalls with an unbound limit.
With the the removal of set_fs() as a generic API, the last user of
addr_limit_user_check() was removed in commit:
b5a5a01d8e9a44ec ("arm64: uaccess: remove addr_limit_user_check()")
... as since that commit, no architecture defines TIF_FSCHECK, and hence
addr_limit_user_check() always expands to nothing.
Remove addr_limit_user_check(), updating the comment in
exit_to_user_mode_prepare() to no longer refer to it. At the same time,
the comment is reworded to be a little more generic so as to cover
kmap_assert_nomap() in addition to lockdep_sys_exit().
No functional change.
