Pull VFIO updates from Alex Williamson: - Fix missing selftest <libgen.h> include for basename() to support non-glibc builds (Hisam Mehboob) - Add vfio selftest documentation covering the libvfio helper library and guidance for developers to aid in adding and understanding the framework (David Matlack) - Fix vfio cdev open path to prevent a second open from clobbering the vf_token or clearing the KVM reference. Add a selftest to avoid future recurrences (Alex Williamson) - Extend vfio selftest mix_and_match timeouts, in particular to account for systems where generated faults can induce heavy SMM load, delaying internal timeouts. Also extend timeout for execution via runner to account for various tests exceeding default 45s timeout (Alex Williamson) - Add tracking for non-reserved mappings into a vfio_dma object in order to optimize the tear-down paths where per-page tests can be entirely skipped. This resolves a soft lockup for large memory GPUs (Samuel Crossley) - Add vfio selftest driver for mlx5, providing another target for exercising DMA and interrupts against a physical device (Jason Gunthorpe) - Hardening against read-only region promotion, preserving vm_pgoff for unmap_mapping_range(), and reject non-shared MMIO mmaps as necessary through vfio-platform, vfio-fsl-mc, and vfio-cdx. These prevent future issues, though none are currently reachable (Abdifatah Suruur) - Fix 8-byte ioeventfd support, removing a static error test that was erroneously left in place when generalizing 8-byte io accesses (Li RongQing) - Fix missed RCU drain on module exit (Jiale Yao) - Fix off-by-one boundary check in migration support within the mlx5 vfio-pci variant driver (Seongjun Hong) - Remove drvdata usage convention across vfio-pci-core, allowing variant drivers to freely create their own conventions and enabling a future Rust-based variant driver. A DRM topic branch is also merged in support of this effort, modifying the vga arbiter API to more cleanly remove the drvdata dependency (Simon Song) - Fix hisi_acc vfio-pci variant driver to avoid NULL pointer accesses when bound to unsupported devices and also disabling migration support when running on 64K host page size due to BAR mapping constraints (Longfang Liu) - Add device IDs for Crescent Island and Nova Lake devices to the Xe vfio-pci variant driver (Satyanarayana K V P) - Fix fallback mode in nvgrace-gpu variant driver to use symmetric open and close handlers to avoid reported use-after-free issue.

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini: "ARM: - pKVM state isolation: years after pKVM started being enabled upstream, we finally get the basics in the form of state isolation. The vcpu state is now off-limit for the host for protected VMs - pKVM also grows a hypervisor-private memory allocator, allowing it to deal with sub-page allocation, much like everywhere else - pKVM also lands a trace_printk() equivalent, which hopefully will make debugging a bit easier - First shot at annotating portions of the KVM/arm64 code to be extracted and built on s390. The real fun is yet to come - Allow pre-faulting of stage-2 canonical mappings from userspace, joining x86 and s390 in implementing this feature - Add a reverse mapping infrastructure for shadow stage-2, significantly improving performance when MMU notifiers kick in, and avoiding full unmap of all shadow tables for this VM - Next step of GICv5 enablement, adding support for the IRS block, and providing both SPI and LPI support. This is the first point where KVM/arm64 can support an SMP GICv5 guest - As a preliminary to eventually enabling CCA, add a bunch of infrastructure to KVM/arm64, splitting some of the basic operations into individual backends (normal VM, normal pKVM VM, protected pKVM VM). This allows CCA to later slot in without polluting the rest of KVM with its firmware-driven nonsense - Make ID registers immutable from the point where a vcpu is able to run, even if it fails to run. This prevents KVM from sampling untrusted values - Restore some type checking to the EL2 object. KVM/arm64 originally had some strong type checking between the kernel and the EL2 object, but lost it along the way when the private hypercall interface was (somewhat pointlessly) converted to SMCCC. Type checking is back, syscall style, and with added sparse goodies - Expand the FFA support to FFA_NOTIFICATION_*, and add some sanitisation of the protocol that pKVM relays to the "trusted" runtime - Make GICv3 RD assignment more robust to userspace nonsense - Convert the remaining MMU fault handler backends to kvm_s2_fault_vma_info and co., fixing a number of bugs in the process - Fix the SError/SEA selftests to be both more robust and less braindead - Fix a smattering of documentation bugs, some of them as a result of our AI friends spitting out credible assertions based on non-existing symbols - The usual collection of low impact bug fixes (SMCCC, timers, PMU) Loongarch: - Add separate vmid support - Simplify MSI interrupt injection - Add crash hypercall support - Allow to set pv_feature until vCPU run - Enable HW page table walk automatically in selftests s390: - rework page allocation for secure guest variable storage - Selftests and documentation improvements - Replace get_zeroed_page with kzalloc - Fix corner cases of floating interrupt injection - Initial arm64 on s390 support x86: - Clean up the handling of vcpu->arch.xen.long_mode to be consistent and correctly handle 32-bit/64-bit alignment, and various other bug fixes have accumulated over the months since v1 - Grab KVM's SRCU "lock" in kvm_zap_gfn_range() to fix a recurring bug where callers fail to do so - Fix a variety of issues in the pre-fault code that are mostly benign in the current code base, but will show up in big ways if/when the pre-faulting logic is used to implementing prefetch-on-fault for the TDP MMU - For PREEMPT_RT=y kernels, drop the rmaps' individual bit-spinlock and just walk the rmaps' with mmu_lock taken. On the write side (which always uses mmu_lock), the bit-spinlock was assuming that preemption was disabled, but that is *not* true when rwlocks become sleepable - Prepare a memory_fault exit (paired with -EFAULT) when KVM hits an error PFN, e.g. so that userspace can resolve transient issues instead of killing the guest. Convert a variety of WARN()+EFAULT paths into KVM_BUG_ON()+EIO so that KVM can hard commit to filling memory_fault on -EFAULTs that occur in the page fault path - Fix a NX hugepage un-accounting bug where KVM would always uncharge the shadow MMU, even when handling TDP MMU pages - Mask off the address space ID when checking for illegal usage of kvm_set_internal_memslot() to prevent false negatives on the sanity check - Explicitly zero reserved flags when delivering a SynIC message to avoid leaking a byte of stack information to the guest - Rework TDX's handling of the canonical MMU root level to not rely on userspace to fill CPUID correctly, as doing so lets userspace trivially trigger a KVM_BUG_ON() - Reject KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE if userspace "restores" L1 with EFER.LMA=1 && EFER.LME=0, which confuses KVM into trying to configure an 64-bit MMU without PAE - Ignore EFER.LMA (clear it from KVM's cached save state) if EFER.LME=0 when preparing L2 state, to fix another way to confuse KVM's MMU (and because real hardware also ignores EFER.LMA) - Improve KVM's sanity checks for a misconfigured MMU to (hopefully) detect all of the ways KVM can botch EFER.LMA vs. CR4.PAE - Remove the "full" out-param from kvm_x86_ops.flush_tlb_gva() as the param is only used to avoid what effectively amounts to a single memory write - Fix a mostly-benign bug where KVM can write through a guest's read-only mapping due to not checking the error code when expediting emulated MMIO page faults - Honor the guest's view of the "EFER.LMSLE must be zero" defeature so that userspace can provide migration compatibility between Rome and Milan+ - Pend a KVM_REQ_EVENT request when an exception is morphed into a nested VM-Exit, otherwise KVM can fail to actually deliver the nested VM-Exit, e.g. when injecting a page fault - Add support for PML on SVM - Add support for virtualizing Bus Lock Detect on SVM, and fix a number of DR6 bugs and warts along the way - Fix a variety of warts in KVM's handling of guest TSC, kvmclock, and timekeeping in general, as a (big) first step towards addressing several longstanding problems with the kvmclock implementation. Most notably, fix a precision issue where get_kvmclock_ns() computed the clock from the *host* TSC without applying guest TSC scaling, causing systemic drift from the values the guest computes from its own TSC - Rip out KVM's shadow timekeeping structures, now that ktime snapshots are powerful enough to replace it - Misc fixes and cleanups x86 (AMD): - Fix a benign-in-practice bug where KVM unintentionally sets a non-zero error code when delivering exceptions to SEV-ES+ guests - Force a new ASID in both VMCBs on pCPU migration to fix a bug where KVM can run a VMCB with a stale ASID due to the tracking being per-CPU, not per-VMCB - Return INVALID_INPUT to the guest instead of exiting to userspace with -EIO if KVM can't access "guest request" buffer, i.e. try to keep the guest alive if the guest or userspace goofs x86 (Intel): - Enable Notify VM-Exits (now called Instruction Timeout in the SDM) and Bus Lock VM-Exits for TDX guests when they're enabled by userspace (KVM forgot to wire up the TDX Module knobs) - Move all common (between VMX and TDX) APIs/helpers to common.h/main.c, and change all namespace prefixes from "vmx" to "vt" - Fix a thankfully benign bug (due to other areas of KVM being hardened) where userspace can bypass INIT_MEM_REGION's address wrap check by providing a nr_pages that will overflow a u64 when converted to bytes, and fix an also- benign off-by-one bug in the check (inclusive vs. exclusive) - Set the vmcs.GUEST_ACTIVITY_STATE back to ACTIVE when userspace sets KVM's mp_state to anything other than HALTED, e.g. so that a vCPU doesn't get stuck in HLT if userspace emulates RESET guest_memfd: - Take the invalidate lock when unbinding a dying file to fix a race with kvm_gmem_invalidate_end() that results in KVM leaving the MMU invalidation count elevated. Not taking the lock in the first place was pure misguided paranoid - When binding a memslot, purge the bindings if storing the new memslot fails, as Xarray's "store range" API can subtly fail partway through - Establish memslot<=>guest_memfd bindings *after* the memslot is ready, as the memslot becomes reachable the instant the binding is installed - Don't grab a page refcount when reloading an SNP VMSA and stop returning a "struct page" from guest_memfd's PFN lookup altogether, to ensure that KVM doesn't hold any unnecessary refcounts (the lifetime of the page is ensured by MMU notifiers and similar hooks). Preventing unnecessary refcounts greatly simplifies supporting in-place SHARED=>PRIVATE conversions - Add support for in-place PRIVATE<=>SHARED conversion, i.e. allow a single guest_memfd instance to be used for both PRIVATE and SHARED variations of CoCo guests' memory (though not at the same time). This eliminates the need to double allocate guest memory for TDX and SNP, and is basically a hard requirement for pKVM, which relies on being able to preserve memory contents on conversions - Hack-a-fix a deadlock bug in ->error_remove_folio() by returning -EBUSY if the filemap invalidate lock is contended. Punt on a proper fix for the moment, as a proper fix likely involves reworking truncate_error_folio() - Add a pile of selftests for in-place conversions - Misc guest_memfd cleanups Generic: - Move some configuration items to preprocessor symbols, to help with arm-on-s390's need to compile the same code twice with different values - Allow KVM implementations to choose alternative device names, also for s390's support of ARM virtualmachines - Switch the KVM-VFIO interface and external consumers over to standard file-based reference counting, eliminating all external KVM symbol exports Selftests: - Rework KVM selftest's handling of memory regions all so that PPC can force its page table allocations to be naturally aligned - PPC support - Fix emulation of VMPTRST and VMPTRLD when eVMCS is in-use to match real Hyper-V's behavior - Saturate L2's TSC frequency if stacking L1 and L2 scaling multipliers exceeds what hardware supports, as attempting to run L2 with an illegal multiplier will either cause VM-Entry to fail (VMX) or trigger a #GP when writing MSR_AMD64_TSC_RATIO (SVM). The #GP is thankfully benign in the grand scheme as even "unsafe" WRMSRs have exception fixup - Rework KVM selftest's handling of memory regions so that PPC can force its page table allocations to be naturally aligned - Clean up selftest's VMX instruction helpers, and drop an absurd number of completely useless return values, e.g. functions that unconditionally return %true and then have every caller assert success - Add selftests support for Zhaoxin CPUs - Overhaul the TSC scaling test to add a regression test for the saturation behavior, and to increase its coverage in general - Fix selftests usage various NUMA syscalls to account for an undocumented, but known since 2007, off-by-one kernel bug. Add helpers to try and avoid re-introducing the same flaws in the future - Automatically run xAPIC IPI migration test (between NUMA nodes) when possible, as the entire point of the test is verify KVM's handling of page migration of the APIC backing page - Misc cleanups" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (506 commits) KVM: always make in-place conversion a compile-time constant when possible KVM: x86: leave the legacy private attribute in for TDX and SEV KVM: split CONFIG_KVM_PRIVATE_MEMATTR_VM out of KVM_VM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES selftests: kvm: remove useless comma operator arm64: Use proper include variant MAINTAINERS: Add entry for ARM on s390 KVM KVM: s390: arm64: Integrate arm on s390 KVM: s390: arm64: Implement basic page fault handler KVM: s390: arm64: Implement vCPU IOCTLs KVM: s390: arm64: Implement vm/vcpu create destroy KVM: s390: arm64: Implement required functions KVM: s390: Add basic arm64 kvm module s390/hwcaps: Report SAE support as hwcap KVM: s390: arm64: Introduce host definitions s390: Introduce Start Arm Execution instruction KVM: s390: Use arm64 code s390/tools: Use arm64 headers KVM: s390: Use dedicated function for migration mode s390/Kconfig: remove PCI dependency from HAS_IOMEM KVM: s390: Kick PV cpus at the right time for service irqs ...

2026-10-17x86/insn-eval: Fix shadowed segment index in get_seg_reg_override_idx()Lukas Zobernig
Commit 45e1dccc0653 ("x86/insn: Simplify for_each_insn_prefix()") made for_each_insn_prefix() declare its own loop counter named idx. get_seg_reg_override_idx() keeps its result in a local of the same name, so the assignments in the loop body now write the loop counter: - the function always returns INAT_SEG_REG_DEFAULT, so FS and GS overrides are ignored; - a CS override sets the counter to INAT_SEG_REG_CS (2), the increment makes it 3, and prefixes.bytes[3] holds the last prefix, 0x2e again, so the loop never terminates. The UMIP emulation reaches this from the #GP handler for user space: an SGDT, SIDT or SMSW with a memory operand and a CS prefix leaves the task spinning in the kernel, never returning to user space, with a SIGKILL that is never delivered. Any user can thus tie up CPUs until reboot. With an FS or GS prefix, the emulated result is written to the wrong address. Rename the internal macro iterator variable.

2026-08-07x86/paravirt: Use static_call() for the paravirt spinlock opsPeter Zijlstra
queued_spin_lock_slowpath() and queued_spin_unlock() are dispatched through pv_ops_lock via the paravirt-ops ALTERNATIVE machinery, which picks the target (native inline store / hypervisor call) once at boot and cannot change at runtime. Convert both to static_call(). The site becomes a direct call patched in place (one byte smaller), and on native the unlock still collapses to the inline "movb $0, (%rdi)" store, so the fast path is unchanged. Unlike the ALTERNATIVE mechanism, a static_call() target can also be updated at runtime via static_call_update(). This is a prerequisite for the contended_release tracepoint, which has to swap in a traced unlock while the system is running. [ ilvokhin: commit message; fix PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS=n build; teach __static_call_validate() about the inline unlock insn; make the slowpath site module-safe: static_call_mod() + EXPORT_STATIC_CALL_TRAMP(); pass @lock to the callee-save unlock, fixing a boot hang under CALL_DEPTH_TRACKING.

2026-07-13x86/alternative: Drop smp_locks glueBorislav Petkov (AMD)
This was there to be able to patch out locking instructions when running a SMP kernel build on a UP CPU. The times are long gone when single-CPU x86 machines were relevant so drop that machinery and simplify the code considerably. LOCK_PREFIX needs to stay for when one wants to do a UP build for whatever reason. That'll go away when CONFIG_SMP becomes unconditional. Kill a bunch of leftover, unused prototypes while at it.

2026-01-09x86/CPU/AMD: Simplify the spectral chicken fixBorislav Petkov (AMD)
msr_set_bit() takes a bit number to set but MSR_ZEN2_SPECTRAL_CHICKEN_BIT is a bit mask. The usual pattern that code uses is a _BIT-named type macro instead of a mask. So convert it to a bit number to reflect that. Also, msr_set_bit() already does the reading and checking whether the bit needs to be set so use that instead of a local variable. Fixup tabbing while at it. No functional changes.

It represents the first time I can think of that the upper=>kernel/lower=>user address space convention is actually recognized by the hardware on x86. It ensures that userspace can not even get the hardware to _start_ page walks for the kernel address space. This, of course, is a really nice generic side channel defense. This is really only a down payment on LASS support. There are still some details to work out in its interaction with EFI calls and vsyscall emulation. For now, LASS is disabled if either of those features is compiled in (which is almost always the case). There's also one straggler commit in here which converts an under-utilized AMD CPU feature leaf into a generic Linux-defined leaf so more feature can be packed in there.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar: - klp-build livepatch module generation (Josh Poimboeuf) Introduce new objtool features and a klp-build script to generate livepatch modules using a source .patch as input. This builds on concepts from the longstanding out-of-tree kpatch project which began in 2012 and has been used for many years to generate livepatch modules for production kernels. However, this is a complete rewrite which incorporates hard-earned lessons from 12+ years of maintaining kpatch. Key improvements compared to kpatch-build: - Integrated with objtool: Leverages objtool's existing control-flow graph analysis to help detect changed functions. - Works on vmlinux.o: Supports late-linked objects, making it compatible with LTO, IBT, and similar. - Simplified code base: ~3k fewer lines of code. - Upstream: No more out-of-tree #ifdef hacks, far less cruft. - Cleaner internals: Vastly simplified logic for symbol/section/reloc inclusion and special section extraction. - Robust __LINE__ macro handling: Avoids false positive binary diffs caused by the __LINE__ macro by introducing a fix-patch-lines script which injects #line directives into the source .patch to preserve the original line numbers at compile time. - Disassemble code with libopcodes instead of running objdump (Alexandre Chartre) - Disassemble support (-d option to objtool) by Alexandre Chartre, which supports the decoding of various Linux kernel code generation specials such as alternatives: 17ef: sched_balance_find_dst_group+0x62f mov 0x34(%r9),%edx 17f3: sched_balance_find_dst_group+0x633 | <alternative.17f3> | X86_FEATURE_POPCNT 17f3: sched_balance_find_dst_group+0x633 | call 0x17f8 <__sw_hweight64> | popcnt %rdi,%rax 17f8: sched_balance_find_dst_group+0x638 cmp %eax,%edx ... jump table alternatives: 1895: sched_use_asym_prio+0x5 test $0x8,%ch 1898: sched_use_asym_prio+0x8 je 0x18a9 <sched_use_asym_prio+0x19> 189a: sched_use_asym_prio+0xa | <jump_table.189a> | JUMP 189a: sched_use_asym_prio+0xa | jmp 0x18ae <sched_use_asym_prio+0x1e> | nop2 189c: sched_use_asym_prio+0xc mov $0x1,%eax 18a1: sched_use_asym_prio+0x11 and $0x80,%ecx ... exception table alternatives: native_read_msr: 5b80: native_read_msr+0x0 mov %edi,%ecx 5b82: native_read_msr+0x2 | <ex_table.5b82> | EXCEPTION 5b82: native_read_msr+0x2 | rdmsr | resume at 0x5b84 <native_read_msr+0x4> 5b84: native_read_msr+0x4 shl $0x20,%rdx .... x86 feature flag decoding (also see the X86_FEATURE_POPCNT example in sched_balance_find_dst_group() above): 2faaf: start_thread_common.constprop.0+0x1f jne 0x2fba4 <start_thread_common.constprop.0+0x114> 2fab5: start_thread_common.constprop.0+0x25 | <alternative.2fab5> | X86_FEATURE_ALWAYS | X86_BUG_NULL_SEG 2fab5: start_thread_common.constprop.0+0x25 | jmp 0x2faba <.altinstr_aux+0x2f4> | jmp 0x4b0 <start_thread_common.constprop.0+0x3f> | nop5 2faba: start_thread_common.constprop.0+0x2a mov $0x2b,%eax ...
