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.

2026-09-15RISC-V: KVM: Fix the conversion between vsip and hvipYicong Yang
Per AIA spec 1.0 Section 6.3.2, the interrupt numbers 13-63 shares same bit position between related VS shadow CSRs and hypervisor CSRs. So there's a shift only for SSI, STI and SEI interrupt. Currently the KVM always does a shift for all the interrupts (include LCOFI with number 13) when doing the conversion between vsip and hvip. Fix this by only doing shift the SSI, STI and SEI. Add wrappers for doing the conversion between vsip and hvip.

2026-09-14KVM: arm64: gic-v5: Add VGICv5 IST save/restore UAPISascha Bischoff
Introduce KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_IST as the VGICv5 device attribute group used to transfer SPI and LPI IST state between KVM and userspace during migration. The group uses struct kvm_vgic_v5_ist as a descriptor for the userspace-owned SPI and LPI IST buffers. Each buffer contains the architected 32-bit ISTE state for the corresponding interrupt number space, while the host IST layout remains private to KVM. The descriptor is architecture-specific, as it is only the payload of an ARM VGIC device attribute.

2026-09-14KVM: arm64: gic-v5: Handle userspace accesses to IRS MMIO regionSascha Bischoff
As part of saving and restoring the state of a GICv5-based system, userspace must save and restore the IRS MMIO registers. These include important information such as the guest IST configuration, and KVM must present consistent state to the guest after migration. Introduce KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_IRS_REGS and provide accessors to read and write the virtual IRS register state. This is modelled on the GICv3 ITS register interface, as the migration requirements are broadly the same. Reuse the guest MMIO handlers where userspace and guest accesses have the same semantics. Add userspace-specific handling where restoring a register image must not trigger the operation associated with a guest MMIO write. Validate restored ID register fields against the capabilities KVM and the host can support. Restore the emulated IST configuration without allocating or freeing a host IST, and report operation status registers as idle. Accept writes to IRS_SPI_CFGR, IRS_IIDR, and IRS_AIDR without changing their state, allowing userspace to replay the values it previously read. Restoring IRS_IST_BASER.Valid recreates the guest-visible configuration, but the host LPI IST cannot be allocated until userspace supplies its contents. Track this as a pending LPI IST restore and reject guest entry until userspace restores the IST through KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_IST.

Define the UAPI address type used by userspace to describe the location of the emulated IRS in guest physical address space, together with the size reserved for that region. As per the GICv5 specification, the IRS has one CONFIG_FRAME and optionally one SETLPI_FRAME per interrupt domain. Within a KVM VM we are only concerned with one interrupt domain. Each of these frames is 64kB in size, so reserve 2x64kB of contiguous memory in the GPA space for a GICv5 IRS.

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.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull openat2 updates from Christian Brauner: "Features: - Add O_EMPTYPATH to openat(2)/openat2(2). To get an operable file descriptor from an O_PATH file descriptor it is possible to use openat(fd, ".", O_DIRECTORY) for directories, but other file types require going through open("/proc/<pid>/fd/<nr>") and thus depend on a functioning procfs. With O_EMPTYPATH an empty path string is accepted and LOOKUP_EMPTY is set at path resolution time, allowing to reopen the file behind the file descriptor directly. Selftests are included. - Add an OPENAT2_REGULAR flag for openat2(2) which refuses to open anything but regular files with the new EFTYPE error code. This implements the "ability to only open regular files" feature requested by userspace via uapi-group.org and protects services from being redirected to fifos, device nodes, and friends. All atomic_open implementations were audited for OPENAT2_REGULAR handling. Explicit checks were added to ceph, gfs2, nfs (v4), and cifs/smb - these are the filesystems whose atomic_open can encounter an existing non-regular file and would otherwise call finish_open() on it or return a misleading error code. The remaining implementations (9p, fuse, vboxsf, nfs v2/v3) only call finish_open() on freshly created files and use finish_no_open() for lookup hits, letting the VFS catch non-regular files via the do_open() safety net. Cleanups: - Migrate the openat2 selftests to the kselftest harness and move them under selftests/filesystems/. The tests were written in the early days of selftests' TAP support and the modern kselftest harness is much easier to follow and maintain. The contents of the tests are unchanged and the new emptypath tests are ported on top. - Make the LAST_XXX last-type constants private to fs/namei.c.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini: "Arm: - Add support for tracing in the standalone EL2 hypervisor code, which should help both debugging and performance analysis. This uses the new infrastructure for 'remote' trace buffers that can be exposed by non-kernel entities such as firmware, and which came through the tracing tree - Add support for GICv5 Per Processor Interrupts (PPIs), as the starting point for supporting the new GIC architecture in KVM - Finally add support for pKVM protected guests, where pages are unmapped from the host as they are faulted into the guest and can be shared back from the guest using pKVM hypercalls. Protected guests are created using a new machine type identifier. As the elusive guestmem has not yet delivered on its promises, anonymous memory is also supported This is only a first step towards full isolation from the host; for example, the CPU register state and DMA accesses are not yet isolated. Because this does not really yet bring fully what it promises, it is hidden behind CONFIG_ARM_PKVM_GUEST + 'kvm-arm.mode=protected', and also triggers TAINT_USER when a VM is created. Caveat emptor - Rework the dreaded user_mem_abort() function to make it more maintainable, reducing the amount of state being exposed to the various helpers and rendering a substantial amount of state immutable - Expand the Stage-2 page table dumper to support NV shadow page tables on a per-VM basis - Tidy up the pKVM PSCI proxy code to be slightly less hard to follow - Fix both SPE and TRBE in non-VHE configurations so that they do not generate spurious, out of context table walks that ultimately lead to very bad HW lockups - A small set of patches fixing the Stage-2 MMU freeing in error cases - Tighten-up accepted SMC immediate value to be only #0 for host SMCCC calls - The usual cleanups and other selftest churn LoongArch: - Use CSR_CRMD_PLV for kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel() - Add DMSINTC irqchip in kernel support RISC-V: - Fix steal time shared memory alignment checks - Fix vector context allocation leak - Fix array out-of-bounds in pmu_ctr_read() and pmu_fw_ctr_read_hi() - Fix double-free of sdata in kvm_pmu_clear_snapshot_area() - Fix integer overflow in kvm_pmu_validate_counter_mask() - Fix shift-out-of-bounds in make_xfence_request() - Fix lost write protection on huge pages during dirty logging - Split huge pages during fault handling for dirty logging - Skip CSR restore if VCPU is reloaded on the same core - Implement kvm_arch_has_default_irqchip() for KVM selftests - Factored-out ISA checks into separate sources - Added hideleg to struct kvm_vcpu_config - Factored-out VCPU config into separate sources - Support configuration of per-VM HGATP mode from KVM user space s390: - Support for ESA (31-bit) guests inside nested hypervisors - Remove restriction on memslot alignment, which is not needed anymore with the new gmap code - Fix LPSW/E to update the bear (which of course is the breaking event address register) x86: - Shut up various UBSAN warnings on reading module parameter before they were initialized - Don't zero-allocate page tables that are used for splitting hugepages in the TDP MMU, as KVM is guaranteed to set all SPTEs in the page table and thus write all bytes - As an optimization, bail early when trying to unsync 4KiB mappings if the target gfn can just be mapped with a 2MiB hugepage x86 generic: - Copy single-chunk MMIO write values into struct kvm_vcpu (more precisely struct kvm_mmio_fragment) to fix use-after-free stack bugs where KVM would dereference stack pointer after an exit to userspace - Clean up and comment the emulated MMIO code to try to make it easier to maintain (not necessarily "easy", but "easier") - Move VMXON+VMXOFF and EFER.SVME toggling out of KVM (not *all* of VMX and SVM enabling) as it is needed for trusted I/O - Advertise support for AVX512 Bit Matrix Multiply (BMM) instructions - Immediately fail the build if a required #define is missing in one of KVM's headers that is included multiple times - Reject SET_GUEST_DEBUG with -EBUSY if there's an already injected exception, mostly to prevent syzkaller from abusing the uAPI to trigger WARNs, but also because it can help prevent userspace from unintentionally crashing the VM - Exempt SMM from CPUID faulting on Intel, as per the spec - Misc hardening and cleanup changes x86 (AMD): - Fix and optimize IRQ window inhibit handling for AVIC; make it per-vCPU so that KVM doesn't prematurely re-enable AVIC if multiple vCPUs have to-be-injected IRQs - Clean up and optimize the OSVW handling, avoiding a bug in which KVM would overwrite state when enabling virtualization on multiple CPUs in parallel. This should not be a problem because OSVW should usually be the same for all CPUs - Drop a WARN in KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION where KVM complains about a "too large" size based purely on user input - Clean up and harden the pinning code for KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION - Disallow synchronizing a VMSA of an already-launched/encrypted vCPU, as doing so for an SNP guest will crash the host due to an RMP violation page fault - Overhaul KVM's APIs for detecting SEV+ guests so that VM-scoped queries are required to hold kvm->lock, and enforce it by lockdep. Fix various bugs where sev_guest() was not ensured to be stable for the whole duration of a function or ioctl - Convert a pile of kvm->lock SEV code to guard() - Play nicer with userspace that does not enable KVM_CAP_EXCEPTION_PAYLOAD, for which KVM needs to set CR2 and DR6 as a response to ioctls such as KVM_GET_VCPU_EVENTS (even if the payload would end up in EXITINFO2 rather than CR2, for example). Only set CR2 and DR6 when consumption of the payload is imminent, but on the other hand force delivery of the payload in all paths where userspace retrieves CR2 or DR6 - Use vcpu->arch.cr2 when updating vmcb12's CR2 on nested #VMEXIT instead of vmcb02->save.cr2. The value is out of sync after a save/restore or after a #PF is injected into L2 - Fix a class of nSVM bugs where some fields written by the CPU are not synchronized from vmcb02 to cached vmcb12 after VMRUN, and so are not up-to-date when saved by KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE - Fix a class of bugs where the ordering between KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE and KVM_SET_{S}REGS could cause vmcb02 to be incorrectly initialized after save+restore - Add a variety of missing nSVM consistency checks - Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly update VMCB fields on nested #VMEXIT - Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly synthesize #UD or #GP for SVM-related instructions - Add support for save+restore of virtualized LBRs (on SVM) - Refactor various helpers and macros to improve clarity and (hopefully) make the code easier to maintain - Aggressively sanitize fields when copying from vmcb12, to guard against unintentionally allowing L1 to utilize yet-to-be-defined features - Fix several bugs where KVM botched rAX legality checks when emulating SVM instructions. There are remaining issues in that KVM doesn't handle size prefix overrides for 64-bit guests - Fail emulation of VMRUN/VMLOAD/VMSAVE if mapping vmcb12 fails instead of somewhat arbitrarily synthesizing #GP (i.e. don't double down on AMD's architectural but sketchy behavior of generating #GP for "unsupported" addresses) - Cache all used vmcb12 fields to further harden against TOCTOU bugs x86 (Intel): - Drop obsolete branch hint prefixes from the VMX instruction macros - Use ASM_INPUT_RM() in __vmcs_writel() to coerce clang into using a register input when appropriate - Code cleanups guest_memfd: - Don't mark guest_memfd folios as accessed, as guest_memfd doesn't support reclaim, the memory is unevictable, and there is no storage to write back to LoongArch selftests: - Add KVM PMU test cases s390 selftests: - Enable more memory selftests x86 selftests: - Add support for Hygon CPUs in KVM selftests - Fix a bug in the MSR test where it would get false failures on AMD/Hygon CPUs with exactly one of RDPID or RDTSCP - Add an MADV_COLLAPSE testcase for guest_memfd as a regression test for a bug where the kernel would attempt to collapse guest_memfd folios against KVM's will" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (373 commits) KVM: x86: use inlines instead of macros for is_sev_*guest x86/virt: Treat SVM as unsupported when running as an SEV+ guest KVM: SEV: Goto an existing error label if charging misc_cg for an ASID fails KVM: SVM: Move lock-protected allocation of SEV ASID into a separate helper KVM: SEV: use mutex guard in snp_handle_guest_req() KVM: SEV: use mutex guard in sev_mem_enc_unregister_region() KVM: SEV: use mutex guard in sev_mem_enc_ioctl() KVM: SEV: use mutex guard in snp_launch_update() KVM: SEV: Assert that kvm->lock is held when querying SEV+ support KVM: SEV: Document that checking for SEV+ guests when reclaiming memory is "safe" KVM: SEV: Hide "struct kvm_sev_info" behind CONFIG_KVM_AMD_SEV=y KVM: SEV: WARN on unhandled VM type when initializing VM KVM: LoongArch: selftests: Add PMU overflow interrupt test KVM: LoongArch: selftests: Add basic PMU event counting test KVM: LoongArch: selftests: Add cpucfg read/write helpers LoongArch: KVM: Add DMSINTC inject msi to vCPU LoongArch: KVM: Add DMSINTC device support LoongArch: KVM: Make vcpu_is_preempted() as a macro rather than function LoongArch: KVM: Move host CSR_GSTAT save and restore in context switch LoongArch: KVM: Move host CSR_EENTRY save and restore in context switch ...

2026-04-02x86/cpufeatures: Add AMD CPPC Performance Priority feature.Gautham R. Shenoy
Some future AMD processors have feature named "CPPC Performance Priority" which lets userspace specify different floor performance levels for different CPUs. The platform firmware takes these different floor performance levels into consideration while throttling the CPUs under power/thermal constraints. The presence of this feature is indicated by bit 16 of the EDX register for CPUID leaf 0x80000007. More details can be found in AMD Publication titled "AMD64 Collaborative Processor Performance Control (CPPC) Performance Priority" Revision 1.10.

2026-03-19KVM: arm64: gic-v5: Communicate userspace-driveable PPIs via a UAPISascha Bischoff
GICv5 systems will likely not support the full set of PPIs. The presence of any virtual PPI is tied to the presence of the physical PPI. Therefore, the available PPIs will be limited by the physical host. Userspace cannot drive any PPIs that are not implemented. Moreover, it is not desirable to expose all PPIs to the guest in the first place, even if they are supported in hardware. Some devices, such as the arch timer, are implemented in KVM, and hence those PPIs shouldn't be driven by userspace, either. Provided a new UAPI: KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_CTRL => KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_USERPSPACE_PPIs This allows userspace to query which PPIs it is able to drive via KVM_IRQ_LINE. Additionally, introduce a check in kvm_vm_ioctl_irq_line() to reject any PPIs not in the userspace mask.
