Commit
d23d33ea0fcd ("x86/microcode: Taint and warn on late loading")
started tainting the kernel after microcode late loading.
There is some history behind why x86 microcode started doing the late
loading stop_machine() rendezvous. Document the whole situation.
No functional changes.

Commit 5d9db883761a ("efi: Add support for a UEFI variable filesystem")
dated Oct 5, 2012, introduced a new efivarfs pseudo-filesystem to
replace the efivars sysfs interface that was used up to that point to
expose EFI variables to user space.
The main problem with the sysfs interface was that it only supported up
to 1024 bytes of payload per file, whereas the underlying variables
themselves are only bounded by a platform specific per-variable and
global limit that is typically much higher than 1024 bytes.
The deprecated sysfs interface is only enabled on x86 and Itanium, other
EFI enabled architectures only support the efivarfs pseudo-filesystem.
So let's finally rip off the band aid, and drop the old interface
entirely. This will make it easier to refactor and clean up the
underlying infrastructure that is shared between efivars, efivarfs and
efi-pstore, and is long overdue for a makeover.

Pull Intel TDX support from Borislav Petkov:
"Intel Trust Domain Extensions (TDX) support.
This is the Intel version of a confidential computing solution called
Trust Domain Extensions (TDX). This series adds support to run the
kernel as part of a TDX guest. It provides similar guest protections
to AMD's SEV-SNP like guest memory and register state encryption,
memory integrity protection and a lot more.
Design-wise, it differs from AMD's solution considerably: it uses a
software module which runs in a special CPU mode called (Secure
Arbitration Mode) SEAM. As the name suggests, this module serves as
sort of an arbiter which the confidential guest calls for services it
needs during its lifetime.
Just like AMD's SNP set, this series reworks and streamlines certain
parts of x86 arch code so that this feature can be properly
accomodated"

Add documentation for In-Field Scan (IFS). This documentation
describes the basics of IFS, the loading IFS image, chunk
authentication, running scan and how to check result via sysfs.
The CORE_CAPABILITIES MSR enumerates whether IFS is supported.
The full github location for distributing the IFS images is
still being decided. So just a placeholder included for now
in the documentation.
Future CPUs will support more than one type of test. Plan for
that now by using a "_0" suffix on the ABI directory names.
Additional test types will use "_1", etc.

The previously defined Confidential Computing blob is provided to the
kernel via a setup_data structure or EFI config table entry. Currently,
these are both checked for by boot/compressed kernel to access the CPUID
table address within it for use with SEV-SNP CPUID enforcement.
To also enable that enforcement for the run-time kernel, similar
access to the CPUID table is needed early on while it's still using
the identity-mapped page table set up by boot/compressed, where global
pointers need to be accessed via fixup_pointer().
This isn't much of an issue for accessing setup_data, and the EFI config
table helper code currently used in boot/compressed *could* be used in
this case as well since they both rely on identity-mapping. However, it
has some reliance on EFI helpers/string constants that would need to be
accessed via fixup_pointer(), and fixing it up while making it shareable
between boot/compressed and run-time kernel is fragile and introduces a
good bit of ugliness.
Instead, add a boot_params->cc_blob_address pointer that the
boot/compressed kernel can initialize so that the run-time kernel can
access the CC blob from there instead of re-scanning the EFI config
table.
Also document these in Documentation/x86/zero-page.rst. While there,
add missing documentation for the acpi_rsdp_addr field, which serves a
similar purpose in providing the run-time kernel a pointer to the ACPI
RSDP table so that it does not need to [re-]scan the EFI configuration
table.

Pull thermal control updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"As far as new functionality is concerned, there is a new thermal
driver for the Intel Hardware Feedback Interface (HFI) along with some
intel-speed-select utility changes to support it. There are also new
DT compatible strings for a couple of platforms, and thermal zones on
some platforms will be registered as HWmon sensors now.
Apart from the above, some drivers are updated (fixes mostly) and
there is a new piece of documentation for the Intel DPTF (Dynamic
Power and Thermal Framework) sysfs interface.
Specifics:
- Add a new thermal driver for the Intel Hardware Feedback Interface
(HFI) including the HFI initialization, HFI notification interrupt
handling and sending CPU capabilities change messages to user space
via the thermal netlink interface (Ricardo Neri, Srinivas
Pandruvada, Nathan Chancellor, Randy Dunlap).
- Extend the intel-speed-select utility to handle out-of-band CPU
configuration changes and add support for the CPU capabilities
change messages sent over the thermal netlink interface by the new
HFI thermal driver to it (Srinivas Pandruvada).
- Convert the DT bindings to yaml format for the Exynos platform and
fix and update the MAINTAINERS file for this driver (Krzysztof
Kozlowski).
- Register the thermal zones as HWmon sensors for the QCom's Tsens
driver and TI thermal platforms (Dmitry Baryshkov, Romain Naour).
- Add the msm8953 compatible documentation in the bindings (Luca
Weiss).
- Add the sm8150 platform support to the QCom LMh driver's DT binding
(Thara Gopinath).
- Check the command result from the IPC command to the BPMP in the
Tegra driver (Mikko Perttunen).
- Silence the error for normal configuration where the interrupt is
optionnal in the Broadcom thermal driver (Florian Fainelli).
- Remove remaining dead code from the TI thermal driver (Yue
Haibing).

tl;dr: AMX state is ~8k. Signal frames can have space for this
~8k and each signal entry writes out all 8k even if it is zeros.
Skip writing zeros for AMX to speed up signal delivery by about
4% overall when AMX is in its init state.
This is a user-visible change to the sigframe ABI.
== Hardware XSAVE Background ==
XSAVE state components may be tracked by the processor as being
in their initial configuration. Software can detect which
features are in this configuration by looking at the XSTATE_BV
field in an XSAVE buffer or with the XGETBV(1) instruction.
Both the XSAVE and XSAVEOPT instructions enumerate features s
being in the initial configuration via the XSTATE_BV field in the
XSAVE header, However, XSAVEOPT declines to actually write
features in their initial configuration to the buffer. XSAVE
writes the feature unconditionally, regardless of whether it is
in the initial configuration or not.
Basically, XSAVE users never need to inspect XSTATE_BV to
determine if the feature has been written to the buffer.
XSAVEOPT users *do* need to inspect XSTATE_BV. They might also
need to clear out the buffer if they want to make an isolated
change to the state, like modifying one register.
== Software Signal / XSAVE Background ==
Signal frames have historically been written with XSAVE itself.
Each state is written in its entirety, regardless of being in its
initial configuration.
In other words, the signal frame ABI uses the XSAVE behavior, not
the XSAVEOPT behavior.
== Problem ==
This means that any application which has acquired permission to
use AMX via ARCH_REQ_XCOMP_PERM will write 8k of state to the
signal frame. This 8k write will occur even when AMX was in its
initial configuration and software *knows* this because of
XSTATE_BV.
This problem also exists to a lesser degree with AVX-512 and its
2k of state. However, AVX-512 use does not require
ARCH_REQ_XCOMP_PERM and is more likely to have existing users
which would be impacted by any change in behavior.
== Solution ==
Stop writing out AMX xfeatures which are in their initial state
to the signal frame. This effectively makes the signal frame
XSAVE buffer look as if it were written with a combination of
XSAVEOPT and XSAVE behavior. Userspace which handles XSAVEOPT-
style buffers should be able to handle this naturally.
For now, include only the AMX xfeatures: XTILE and XTILEDATA in
this new behavior. These require new ABI to use anyway, which
makes their users very unlikely to be broken. This XSAVEOPT-like
behavior should be expected for all future dynamic xfeatures. It
may also be extended to legacy features like AVX-512 in the
future.
Only attempt this optimization on systems with dynamic features.
Disable dynamic feature support (XFD) if XGETBV1 is unavailable
by adding a CPUID dependency.
This has been measured to reduce the *overall* cycle cost of
signal delivery by about 4%.

For bare-metal SGX on real hardware, the hardware provides guarantees
SGX state at reboot. For instance, all pages start out uninitialized.
The vepc driver provides a similar guarantee today for freshly-opened
vepc instances, but guests such as Windows expect all pages to be in
uninitialized state on startup, including after every guest reboot.
Some userspace implementations of virtual SGX would rather avoid having
to close and reopen the /dev/sgx_vepc file descriptor and re-mmap the
virtual EPC. For example, they could sandbox themselves after the guest
starts and forbid further calls to open(), in order to mitigate exploits
from untrusted guests.
Therefore, add a ioctl that does this with EREMOVE. Userspace can
invoke the ioctl to bring its vEPC pages back to uninitialized state.
There is a possibility that some pages fail to be removed if they are
SECS pages, and the child and SECS pages could be in separate vEPC
regions. Therefore, the ioctl returns the number of EREMOVE failures,
telling userspace to try the ioctl again after it's done with all
vEPC regions. A more verbose description of the correct usage and
the possible error conditions is documented in sgx.rst.

x86_64 vmalloc() mappings are no longer "synchronized" among page tables
via faulting since commit 6eb82f994026 ("x86/mm: Pre-allocate P4D/PUD
pages for vmalloc area"), since the corresponding P4D or PUD pages are
now preallocated at boot, by preallocate_vmalloc_pages(). Drop the
"lazily synchronized" description for less confusion.
While this file is x86_64-specific, it is worth noting that things are
different for x86_32, where vmalloc()-related changes to `init_mm.pgd` are
synchronized to all page tables in the system during runtime, via
arch_sync_kernel_mappings(). Unfortunately, this synchronization is
subject to race condition, which is further handled via faulting, see
vmalloc_fault(). See commit 4819e15f740e ("x86/mm/32: Bring back vmalloc
faulting on x86_32") for more details.

commit 5955633e91bf ("x86/reboot: Skip DMI checks if reboot set by user")
made it so that it's not required to recompile the kernel in order to
bypass broken reboot quirks compiled into an image:
* This variable is used privately to keep track of whether or not
* reboot_type is still set to its default value (i.e., reboot= hasn't
* been set on the command line). This is needed so that we can
* suppress DMI scanning for reboot quirks. Without it, it's
* impossible to override a faulty reboot quirk without recompiling.
However, at the time it was not eally documented outside the source code,
and so this information isn't really available to the average user out
there.
The change is a little white lie and invented "reboot=default" since it is
easy to remember, and documents well. The truth is that any random string
that is *not* a currently accepted string will work.
Since that doesn't document well for non-coders, and since it's unknown
what the future additions might be, lay claim on "default" since that is
exactly what it achieves.

Pull x86 fpu updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Fixes and improvements for FPU handling on x86:
- Prevent sigaltstack out of bounds writes.
The kernel unconditionally writes the FPU state to the alternate
stack without checking whether the stack is large enough to
accomodate it.
Check the alternate stack size before doing so and in case it's too
small force a SIGSEGV instead of silently corrupting user space
data.
- MINSIGSTKZ and SIGSTKSZ are constants in signal.h and have never
been updated despite the fact that the FPU state which is stored on
the signal stack has grown over time which causes trouble in the
field when AVX512 is available on a CPU. The kernel does not expose
the minimum requirements for the alternate stack size depending on
the available and enabled CPU features.
ARM already added an aux vector AT_MINSIGSTKSZ for the same reason.
Add it to x86 as well.
- A major cleanup of the x86 FPU code. The recent discoveries of
XSTATE related issues unearthed quite some inconsistencies,
duplicated code and other issues.
The fine granular overhaul addresses this, makes the code more
robust and maintainable, which allows to integrate upcoming XSTATE

constants on several architectures may result in signal stack overflow, and
thus user data corruption.
A few years ago, the ARM team addressed this issue by establishing
getauxval(AT_MINSIGSTKSZ). This enables the kernel to supply a value
at runtime that is an appropriate replacement on current and future
hardware.
Add getauxval(AT_MINSIGSTKSZ) support to x86, analogous to the support
added for ARM in
94b07c1f8c39 ("arm64: signal: Report signal frame size to userspace via auxv").
Also, include a documentation to describe x86-specific auxiliary vectors.
