5 dayss390/cpum_cf: Honor hwctr session cpu mask during hotplugSumanth Korikkar
cfset_online_cpu() and cfset_offline_cpu() cpu hotplug callbacks start and stop counter sets for every active hwctr session without checking the session cpu mask, and dynamically modify that mask on each hotplug event. For example, assume cpu0 and cpu1 are online and cpu2 is offline. Start an hwctr session restricted to cpu0 and cpu1, and then bring cpu2 online: lshwc -l 9999 -i 5 0-1:b chcpu -e 2 Although cpu2 is not part of the requested mask, cfset_online_cpu() starts the counter sets on cpu2 and adds it to the session mask. cpu2 can then appear in lshwc output (s390-tools) and is handled as part of the session until it is stopped. Keep the userspace provided cpu mask unchanged and update counter sets only when the hotplugged cpu belongs to that mask. For all cpu requests, lshwc should supply the possible cpu mask so that cpus coming online later remain part of the session. Note: A corresponding lshwc (s390-tools) change is needed to supply the possible cpu mask for allcpu sessions, ensuring that cpus coming online later remain part of the session. Without it, newly online cpus would be silently excluded from an active session. Since this userspace change is not yet available, the patch is not suitable for stable kernels and intentionally omits a Fixes: tag. The prerequisite bug fix is in "s390/cpum_cf: Check session mask before cpu offline".

5 dayss390/cpum_cf: Check session mask before cpu offlineSumanth Korikkar
cfset_offline_cpu() stops counter sets for every active session without checking whether the outgoing cpu belongs to the session mask. For example, run an hwctr session on cpu0 and a cpu bound perf event on cpu1: lshwc -l 9999 -i 5 0:b perf stat -C 1 -e cpum_cf/CPU_CYCLES/ sleep 120 chcpu -d 1 chcpu -e 1 Although the hwctr session does not include cpu1, cfset_offline_cpu() decrements its counter set reference count. The subsequent perf teardown decrements it again, causing it to underflow. The perf event keeps the percpu state alive across hotplug. When cpu1 comes online, the hwctr session is started there and the reference count moves from -1 to 0. Stopping the hwctr session then decrements it to -1 again, so the zero triggered counter set disable path is skipped. Check the session mask before stopping counter sets on the outgoing cpu. This prevents the unmatched decrement and the resulting reference count underflow.

5 dayss390/dis: Mark non-NUL-terminated character arrays with __nonstringHeiko Carstens
With [1] the generated string initializers were changed to use an array instead of a non-NUL-terminated string. The reason was that GCC 15 warns about string initializers that truncate the NUL terminator with -Wunterminated-string-initialization. The better solution is to use the __nonstring annotation, which exists to deal exactly with this problem. Therefore use it and basically revert [1] in order to generate more readable initializers: Before: [LONG_INSN_ALGHSIK] = { 'a', 'l', 'g', 'h', 's', 'i', 'k', }, After: [LONG_INSN_ALGHSIK] = "alghsik", [1] commit 7cbae7ea3de5 ("s390/tools: Use array instead of string initializer") Reviewed-by: Jens Remus <jremus@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <hca@linux.ibm.com>

12 daysrandom: vDSO: avoid call to memset() when zeroing reserved parameterNathan Chancellor
After a recent change in LLVM [1], builds with the random vDSO implementation, such as PowerPC and RISC-V, fail when checking the vDSO: arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg: dynamic relocations are not supported arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso.so.dbg: dynamic relocations are not supported memset() is now generated when zeroing params->reserved for some builds because LLVM has an optimization (now run in more instances) that can recognize at compile time when it is assigning a static value to a contiguous area of memory and turn that into a call to memset(). Both clang and GCC assume memset() is always available [2]. Clang has an internal fiddly hook, -max-store-memset, which we can set to a high number, to disable generating out of line memset calls [3]. Similarly, GCC has -finline-stringops=memset to do the same [4], should this issue ever hit future version of GCC. While these options wouldn't make sense for normal kernel code, it is fine for the extremely limited and intentionally compact vDSO code.

2026-09-30s390/percpu: Rework to simplify percpu_entry() and percpu_exit()Heiko Carstens
The percpu code section functionality uses a rather complex method to figure out if the register, which contains the address of the current cpu's percpu variable, needs to be adjusted. If an interrupt happens within a percpu code section (indicated by a lowcore field), the instruction at the interrupted location is checked. If it is not a specific AG instruction, the register needs to be updated. This mechanism needs to take kprobes into account, and enforces a specific instruction ordering. Mark Rutland provided a different solution for arm64 [1] which comes without such limitations, but requires to use one more instruction, and two more registers. Given that this simplifies percpu_entry() and percpu_exit() it seems to be worth to go that route. Change s390 to implement a similar approach. This requires to encode three register numbers into the "percpu_register" field, which is used to indicate if a percpu code section is executed. The used mviy instruction can write only one byte, which allows to encode only two register numbers. Use a register pair for the inline assemblies, and only encode the even register number of the register pair to work around this. The generated code changes like this for e.g. a simple this_cpu_inc(): Old: c0 20 00 00 00 00 larl %r2,c6 <foo+0x6> <-- load address of percpu var b9 04 00 32 lgr %r3,%r2 <-- pointless copy of address eb 03 03 c0 00 52 mviy 960,3 <-- start of percpu code section - gpr 3 contains percpu var address e3 30 03 b8 00 08 ag %r3,952 <-- add percpu offset eb 01 30 00 00 7a agsi 0(%r3),1 <-- atomic inc eb 00 03 c0 00 52 mviy 960,0 <-- end of percpu code section New: c0 10 00 00 00 00 larl %r1,c6 <foo+0x6> <-- load address of percpu var eb 21 03 c0 00 52 mviy 960,33 <-- start of percpu code section 33 == 0x21: - gpr 1 contains percpu var address - gpr 2 used for percpu offset - gpr 2+1 == 3 used for current cpu's percpu var address e3 20 03 b8 00 04 lg %r2,952 <-- load percpu offset 41 32 10 00 la %r3,0(%r2,%r1) <-- generate current cpu's percpu var address eb 01 30 00 00 7a agsi 0(%r3),1 <-- atomic inc eb 00 03 c0 00 52 mviy 960,0 <-- end of percpu code section In the above "new" code example 33 (0x21) is used as indicator value to mark that a percpu code section is executed. This value implies that registers 2 and 3 will (only) hold the percpu offset and the current cpu's percpu var address. Those registers will be updated by percpu_exit() if the process was migrated to a different cpu to contain the percpu offset and percpu var address of the new cpu. Note that because of the pointless lgr instruction in the "old" code example the two code sequences have identical size, and it looks like only one more register is used. However this is because of suboptimal gcc code generation.

2026-09-28s390/uv: Rework page allocation for guest variable storage areaHeiko Carstens
Alexander Gordeev reported that the allocation of pages of the guest variable storage area via the uv_alloc_range_cb() callback of apply_to_page_range() will cause problems as soon as s390 fully supports lazy mmu mode. Problem is that uv_alloc_range_cb() allocates pages with GFP_KERNEL while preemption would be disabled. This would result in reports like this: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at ./include/linux/sched/mm.h:322 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 6092, name: qemu-kvm preempt_count: 1, expected: 0 ...

2026-09-22s390/debug: Do not register views for failed static debug areasMikhail Zaslonko
__REGISTER_STATIC_DEBUG_INFO() calls debug_register_view() unconditionally, even when debug_register_static() has failed. In that case _debug_register() was never reached and id->debugfs_root_entry is still NULL, so debugfs_create_file() places the view file in the debugfs root directory. For sclp_err this leaves a /sys/kernel/debug/hex_ascii file with nothing to indicate which debug log it belongs to. debug_register_static() is not exported and the macro is its only caller, so let it return an error code and skip the view registration when it fails. No debugfs files are created for such an area then. Reproduce by booting with s390dbf=sclp_err::100000000. The sclp_err registration fails, no s390dbf/sclp_err/ directory is created, and a hex_ascii file appears in the debugfs root instead.

Commit a2cec6863709 ("s390/debug: Add s390dbf kernel parameter") calls debug_get_param() from both debug_info_create() and debug_set_level(). Since debug_get_param() emits the override notice unconditionally, and drivers typically call debug_set_level() right after debug_register(), the same line is printed twice per debug area: s390dbf: 0.0.1234: override level to 6 s390dbf: 0.0.1234: override level to 6 For areas registered per device this is multiplied by the device count. With 's390dbf=0.0.*:6' a system with many DASDs emits a large number of redundant lines during boot. Add a quiet parameter to debug_get_param() and pass quiet=true from debug_set_level(), where the override has already been announced during registration.

2026-09-08s390/pai: Support CPU hotplug for PMU PAIThomas Richter
The command 'perf stat -e pai_crypto/CRYPTO_ALL/ -- <command>' crashes the kernel when CPUs are hotplug added during that run. Root cause is the missing allocation of per-CPU data structures for that new CPU. The allocation is dynamic and the first event that has task context creates such a structure for each online CPU. This is not sufficient. CPUs may be offline during event creation and can be set online during the perf run time. For example commands # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online # perf stat -e cycles -i -- stress-ng -t10s --matrix X # sleep 1 # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online Currently without a CPU hotplug handler, that new CPU has no per-CPU data infrastructure. The scheduler runs PMU call back function pai_add() to install the PMU support for that CPU before the task is being scheduled on that new CPU. In pai_add() instructions mp = this_cpu_ptr(pai_root[idx].mapptr); cpump = mp->mapptr; return a NULL pointer and the result is a kernel panic as variable cpump is used inside that function. Add CPU hotplug support for CPU add and delete and create the necessary per-CPU data infrastructure during CPU hotplug add processing. Same for CPU hotplug remove. This is done when the CPU is offline to ensure the data structures are available when CPU is made online and tasks are scheduled on it.

2026-08-31s390/pai: Reduce excessive debug feature sizeHeiko Carstens
The pai debug feature is registered with 256 areas, where each area contains 32 pages. This sums up to a total of 32MiB. The code does not use any debug exceptions, which means that 255 of those areas are never used. In addition all existing debug feature calls have a lower level (5) than the default level (3). This in turn means that without user interaction the debug feature is unused. Reduce the number of areas to 1, and also reduce the number of pages for the remaining area to 1. Since user interaction is required, the user can also increase the size of the remaining area, instead of wasting memory by default. This reduces the total size of the debug feature to 4KiB.

2026-08-31s390/pai: Handle multiple PMU stop callback invocationsThomas Richter
Handle the following scenario: The kernel protects itself against a very high sampling load and throttles the sampling using: perf_event_throttle() --> PMU->stop() Shortly later the scheduler may terminate the task and removes it from the CPU. It again calls PMU->stop() which results in two invocations of PMU->stop() called back to back. Protect against this and check the PERF_HES_STOPPED bit on function entry. If it is already set return. Clear bit PERF_HES_STOPPED in PMU->start(). Prohibit ioctl(fd, PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD, ...) call for this event. It sets perf_event::event_limit to a positive value and causes perf_event_overflow() to invoke pai_stop() call back function when perf_event::event_limit hits zero. This is not supported because the sample events CRYPTO_ALL and NNPA_ALL are only taken at schedule out of a task.

2026-08-31s390/ipl: Fix NULL deref in dump_reipl without re-IPL parm blockVasily Gorbik
Unlike kdump, which passes the re-IPL parameter block through os_info, the stand-alone dump passes it through the IPL parm block address and checksum in lowcore. Some IPL types, like HMC FTP boot or QEMU direct kernel boot, might not provide an IPL parameter block. In this case reipl_type_init() selects IPL_TYPE_UNKNOWN and reipl_block_actual remains NULL. Nevertheless, dump_reipl_run() unconditionally dereferences it when preparing the lowcore fields. This may happen to work by chance when address zero contains readable lowcore data. A zero IPL parameter block address is then stored in lowcore, causing the stand-alone dumper to enter disabled wait after completing the dump. Explicitly store a zero IPL parameter block address and checksum when no re-IPL parameter block is available. This does not change the behavior: the stand-alone dumper completes the dump and halts, while valid re-IPL parameter blocks continue to be handled as before.

Always use the same page table walker kvm->arch.gva_walk as the entry point to convert a guest's virtual address, where the previous code used two different kvm_mmu structs depending on whether the walk included nested EPT/NPT or not. Make page fault vmexits reuse the permission checking machinery that is used for guest page faults. This is both a cleanup and a baby step towards supporting XS/XU memory permissions - Document some of the "fun" gotchas with the APIC base when creating IRQCHIPs on x86 - Remove a defunct masterclock update from kvm_xen_shared_info_init(). It could result in incorrect kvmclock due to triggering an unnecessary switch to/from masterclock mode - Skip Xen runstate time updates if time has effectively gone backwards, so that the guest doesn't report 100% steal time for a very, very long time - Drop KVM's runtime updates of the Xen PV timing CPUID leaf, as KVM was updating the wrong sub-leaf, and upstream KVM will soon provide all the information needed by userspace to populate the CPUID field itself - Fix a bug where KVM would walk a newly created rmap without holding the rmap lock (or mmu_lock) during aging - Fix a bug where aging TDP MMU SPTEs could clobber FROZEN SPTEs - Fix a variety of #DB priority bugs - Fix a class of races related to enabling Hyper-V emulation on a vCPU after the vCPU is visible to the rest of KVM - Use static calls for nested virtualization ops - Move more KVM-internal code out of x86's kvm_host.h - Enumerate support for a variety of Zhaoxin instructions that don't require explicit virtualization - Fix missing EFER validation bugs, including in the KVM_SET_SREGS* path - Harden kvm_vcpu_map() against double-mapping and thus leaking references - Misc fixes and cleanups, e.g. for largely benign syzkaller splats x86 (Intel): - Zero a vCPU's entry in VMX's Posted Interrupt Descriptor table used for IPI virtualization when the vCPU is freed, to fix a use-after-free where hardware will write to a freed vCPU's PID - Service local TLB flushes on a failed nested VM-Enter to fix a bug where KVM could miss a TLB on a future, successful VM-Enter with the same L2 VPID - Cap the maximum value shoved into the VMX Preemption Timer to workaround an erratum that affects all existing Intel CPUs that support CPUID 0x15 - Fix VPID virtualization bugs where KVM would fail to flush hardware TLBs - Harden the TDX "populate" ioctls against bad input, and to prepare for supporting in-place private<=>shared conversion x86 (AMD): - Forcefully invalidate SNP VMSA pages if their backing guest_memfd page is zapped/invalidated, e.g. due to a PUNCH_HOLE in response to a Page-State Change request - Remove a dying VM from the GA Log notifier list before the VM is actually destroyed, to fix a potential use-after-free - While FOLL_WRITE was needed in the past to trigger CoW unsharing, nowadays FOLL_LONGTERM does that already even without FOLL_WRITE, and in fact, get_user_pages() actually disallows FOLL_WRITE together with FOLL_LONGTERM. So don't pass FOLL_WRITE when registering encrypted memory regions, i.e. when pinning SEV/SEV-ES guest memory, to fix a regression with file-backed memory introduced by KVM's (correct) usage of long-term pins (This was reviewed by mm maintainers; for more information, see commit ee1a586dd1fa "KVM: SEV: Drop FOLL_WRITE for encrypted region registration") - Allocate full pages for SEV/SEV-ES {DE,EN}CRYPT ops on SNP-enabled hosts to fix a data corruption issue due to the PSP driver assigning to-be-written pages to firmware (as required by the SNP specs) - Unconditionally intercept ICBEP so that KVM generates the correct guest RIP when handling an ICEBP-induced TASK_SWITCH #VMEXIT - Harden the SNP "populate" ioctls against bad input, and to prepare for supporting in-place private<=>shared conversion Generic: - Remove kvm_debugfs_dir if kvm_init() fails after creating KVM's debugfs - Add a per-VM bitmap to track which vCPU IDs have been "claimed" but for which the vCPU isn't yet online, and use the bitmap to reject duplicate IDs before calling into arch code. This allows arch code to consume vcpu_id without having to worry about cross-vCPU clobbering (at least s390 and x86 have had related bugs) - Rework the so called "prepare" and "invalidate" guest_memfd hooks to prepare for in-place private<=>shared conversion, and clean up a few warts along the way Selftests: - Automatically allocate a full page for L2 guest stacks on x86 instead of requiring test-specific L1 guest code to carve out a portion of the L1 stack for L2 usage, and to ensure the L2 stack also adheres to the x86-64 calling convention ABI - Add a selftest to verify {Guest,Host}-Only behavior in x86's mediated PMU - Clean up nested SVM's handling of GPRs on L2<=>L1 transitions, reuse the functionality for nested VMX, and drop the ucall hack that was fudging around the lack of GPR switching on nVMX - Add a stress test to verify KVM doesn't clobber/drop #PF state, e.g. CR2, across save/restore, including when L2 is active - Add a test to verify KVM_CREATE_VM accepts exactly what is reported by KVM_CAP_VM_TYPES - Misc selftests fixes and cleanups - Fix several issues with seeding the pRNG, and rework the pRNG APIs to that the pRNG can be sanely used in host code, not just guest code - Add an IRQ test to validate virtual IRQ deliverty for IRQs wired up via KVM_IRQFD + KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING, with optional support for triggering IRQs via writes to an assigned VFIO device - Add syscall wrappers to assert success on a variety of pthreads and CPU affinity APIs - Set vCPU pthread affinity as early as possible to reduce contention issues that were surfaced by PREEMPT_LAZY, which result in runtimes of over a minute on large hosts, versus the expected ~5 seconds - Rework the PMU counters test to run each testcase using a single VM with many vCPUs for each sub-testcase, instead of using a unique VM for each sub-testcase.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull generic entry code updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Make syscall user dispatching configurable Not all architectures can makes use of syscall user dispatching. Allow them to disable the feature completely. - Consolidate stack randomization for the generic entry code and the architectures using it. Stack randomization on syscall entry was sprinkled throughout the architecture specific low level entry code and in some cases at the wrong points, e.g. before establishing state, which violates the non-instrumentable constraints of that code. Clean this up by integrating stack randomization into the generic entry code helpers so that it is invoked at the earliest possible point right after establishing state and converting all generic entry code using architecture over. - Clean up the syscall number handling in the generic entry code. It works correctly for architectures which have a separate return value storage in pt_regs, but fails to distinguish the case where user space handed in -1 as syscall number from the case where the entry code rejects it by returning -1 to the callers. Aside of that the return value functionality of those interfaces is not really intuitive. Fix this by separating the decision to reject a syscall (user dispatch, ptrace, seccomp ...) from the potential modification of the syscall number through these mechanisms. This solves most of the problems for architectures which do not have a separate return value storage in pt_regs except for the case where a tracepoint has a BPF script or a probe attached which overwrite both the syscall number and the return value. But that's a problem which cannot be solved in the generic code, that only can be addressed by separating the storage model in the affected architectures. * tag 'core-entry-2026-08-17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (23 commits) entry, treewide: Make syscall_enter_from_user_mode[_work]() indicate syscall execution entry: Make return type of syscall_trace_enter() bool entry: Rework trace_syscall_enter() entry: Rework syscall_audit_enter() syscall_user_dispatch: Introduce ARCH_SUPPORTS_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH entry: Fix seccomp bypass after ptrace with TSYNC x86/entry: Simplify the syscall number logic x86/entry: Get rid of the sys_ni_syscall() indirection x86/entry: Make syscall functions static ptrace, treewide: Rename ptrace_report_syscall_entry() to ptrace_report_syscall_permit_entry() seccomp, treewide: Rename and convert __secure_computing() to return boolean entry: Use syscall number instead of rereading it entry: Remove syscall_enter_from_user_mode() x86/syscall: Use [syscall_]enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() s390/syscall: Use enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() riscv/syscall: Use syscall_enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() powerpc/syscall: Use syscall_enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() loongarch/syscall: Use syscall_enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() entry: Provide [syscall_]enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() randomize_kstack: Provide add_random_kstack_offset_irqsoff() ...

This allows userspace to shed their filesystem state completely. A process with its root or working directory in failfs must anchor every path lookup at an explicit file descriptor. Absolute paths, absolute symlinks and AT_FDCWD-relative lookups simply fail. Failfs is the counterpart to nullfs. nullfs says adds a permanently empty, immutable directory whose lookups fail with ENOENT but which can be opened, read, stat'd and mounted upon. Failfs on the other hand fails every operation. The root cannot be opened at all. A single instance is mounted during early boot via kern_mount(), which makes it logically distinct from every mount namespace. This is accompanied by a new fchroot() system call which makes chrooting via a file descriptor a first class concept.

2026-08-13s390/cpum_cf: Handle CPU hotplug via prepare/dead callbacksThomas Richter
The command 'perf stat -e cycles -- <command>' crashes the kernel when CPUs are hotplug added during that run. Root cause is the allocation of struct cpu_cf_events at first event initialization. The allocation is dynamic and the first event that has task context creates such a structure for each online CPU. This is not sufficient. CPUs may be offline during event creation and can be set online during the perf run time. For example commands # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online # perf stat -e cycles -i -- stress-ng -t10s --matrix X # sleep 1 # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online create an event for CPUs 0,2-X. Since the events are created with task-context, the scheduler will eventually schedule the program on CPU1. This CPU has not created and initialized any per CPU event infrastructure as that CPU was not online at the time of the perf invocation. Thus when the scheduler runs stress-ng on CPU1, the function cpumf_pmu_add() refers to a NULL pointer: struct cpu_cf_events *cpuhw = this_cpu_cfhw(); This function call is invoked after the task stress-ng has been made runnable on CPU1. And this_cpu_cfhw() returns NULL. The result is a panic: Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference in virtual kernel address space Failing address: 0000000000000000 TEID: 0000000000000483 ....

Last Breaking-Event-Address: [<000003ef8291f1d8>] this_cpu_cfhw+0x38/0x40 The issue arises only in per-task context when the CPUMF facility is used and the scheduler picks a random CPU for such a process to run on. The scheduler enables the CPUMF infrastructure via PMU callback functions pmu::add() and pmu::del(). Introduce a CPU hotplug prepare/dead callback pair which creates and removes the per CPU counter data while the CPU is offline. Count the users which track every CPU (cpu == -1), that is perf_event_open() events with task context and /dev/hwctr device sessions, in the new counter cpu_cf_root::tskcnt, protected by pmc_reserve_mutex. This ensures the infrastructure is available when new CPU is selected to run the per-task context process. In cpum_cf_free_root() and cpum_cf_free_cpu() ensure the reference pointer to data structures is set to NULL before the data is freed to prevent interrupt handlers to access stale data.
