The NULL array terminator at the end of erratum_1386_microcode was
removed during the switch from x86_cpu_desc to x86_cpu_id. This
causes readers to run off the end of the array.
Replace the NULL.

User->user Spectre v2 attacks (including RSB) across context switches
are already mitigated by IBPB in cond_mitigation(), if enabled globally
or if either the prev or the next task has opted in to protection. RSB
filling without IBPB serves no purpose for protecting user space, as
indirect branches are still vulnerable.
User->kernel RSB attacks are mitigated by eIBRS. In which case the RSB
filling on context switch isn't needed, so remove it.

eIBRS protects against guest->host RSB underflow/poisoning attacks.
Adding retpoline to the mix doesn't change that. Retpoline has a
balanced CALL/RET anyway.
So the current full RSB filling on VMEXIT with eIBRS+retpoline is
overkill. Disable it or do the VMEXIT_LITE mitigation if needed.

IBPB is expected to clear the RSB. However, if X86_BUG_IBPB_NO_RET is
set, that doesn't happen. Make indirect_branch_prediction_barrier()
take that into account by calling write_ibpb() which clears RSB on
X86_BUG_IBPB_NO_RET:
/* Make sure IBPB clears return stack preductions too. */
FILL_RETURN_BUFFER %rax, RSB_CLEAR_LOOPS, X86_BUG_IBPB_NO_RET
Note that, as of the previous patch, write_ibpb() also reads
'x86_pred_cmd' in order to use SBPB when applicable:
movl _ASM_RIP(x86_pred_cmd), %eax
Therefore that existing behavior in indirect_branch_prediction_barrier()
is not lost.

First of all, using 'mmio' prevents proper implementation of 8-bit accessors.
Second, it's simply inconsistent with uart8250 set of options. Rename it to
'mmio32'. While at it, remove rather misleading comment in the documentation.
From now on mmio32 is self-explanatory and pciserial supports not only 32-bit
MMIO accessors.
Also, while at it, fix the comment for the "pciserial" case. The comment
seems to be a copy'n'paste error when mentioning "serial" instead of
"pciserial" (with double quotes). Fix this.
With that, move it upper, so we don't calculate 'buf' twice.

Since
741c10b096bc ("kernfs: Use RCU to access kernfs_node::name.")
a helper rdt_kn_name() that checks that rdtgroup_mutex is held has been used
for all accesses to the kernfs node name.
rdtgroup_mkdir() uses the name to determine if a valid monitor group is being
created by checking the parent name is "mon_groups". This is done without
holding rdtgroup_mutex, and now triggers the following warning:
| WARNING: suspicious RCU usage

Creating a control or monitor group calls mkdir_rdt_prepare(), which uses

e820__register_nosave_regions()
While debugging kexec/hibernation hangs and crashes, it turned out that
the current implementation of e820__register_nosave_regions() suffers from
multiple serious issues:
- The end of last region is tracked by PFN, causing it to find holes
that aren't there if two consecutive subpage regions are present
- The nosave PFN ranges derived from holes are rounded out (instead of
rounded in) which makes it inconsistent with how explicitly reserved
regions are handled
Fix this by:
- Treating reserved regions as if they were holes, to ensure consistent
handling (rounding out nosave PFN ranges is more correct as the
kernel does not use partial pages)
- Tracking the end of the last RAM region by address instead of pages
to detect holes more precisely
These bugs appear to have been introduced about ~18 years ago with the very
first version of e820_mark_nosave_regions(), and its flawed assumptions were
carried forward uninterrupted through various waves of rewrites and renames.

Xen disables ACPI for PV guests in DomU, which causes acpi_mps_check() to
return 1 when CONFIG_X86_MPPARSE is not set. As a result, the local APIC is
disabled and the guest is later limited to a single vCPU, despite being
configured with more.
This regression was introduced in version 6.9 in commit 7c0edad3643f
("x86/cpu/topology: Rework possible CPU management"), which added an
early check that limits CPUs to 1 if apic_is_disabled.
Update the acpi_mps_check() logic to return 0 early when running as a Xen
PV guest in DomU, preventing APIC from being disabled in this specific case
and restoring correct multi-vCPU behaviour.

Pull x86 TDX updates from Dave Hansen:
"Avoid direct HLT instruction execution in TDX guests.
TDX guests aren't expected to use the HLT instruction directly. It
causes a virtualization exception (#VE). While the #VE _can_ be
handled, the current handling is slow and buggy and the easiest thing
is just to avoid HLT in the first place. Plus, the kernel already has
paravirt infrastructure that makes it relatively painless.
Make TDX guests require paravirt and add some TDX-specific paravirt
handlers which avoid HLT in the normal halt routines. Also add a
warning in case another HLT sneaks in.
There was a report that this leads to a "major performance
improvement" on specjbb2015, probably because of the extra #VE
overhead or missed wakeups from the buggy HLT handling"

Direct HLT instruction execution causes #VEs for TDX VMs which is routed
to hypervisor via TDCALL. If HLT is executed in STI-shadow, resulting #VE
handler will enable interrupts before TDCALL is routed to hypervisor
leading to missed wakeup events, as current TDX spec doesn't expose
interruptibility state information to allow #VE handler to selectively
enable interrupts.
Commit bfe6ed0c6727 ("x86/tdx: Add HLT support for TDX guests")
prevented the idle routines from executing HLT instruction in STI-shadow.
But it missed the paravirt routine which can be reached via this path
as an example:
kvm_wait() =>
safe_halt() =>
raw_safe_halt() =>
arch_safe_halt() =>
irq.safe_halt() =>
pv_native_safe_halt()
To reliably handle arch_safe_halt() for TDX VMs, introduce explicit
dependency on CONFIG_PARAVIRT and override paravirt halt()/safe_halt()
routines with TDX-safe versions that execute direct TDCALL and needed
interrupt flag updates. Executing direct TDCALL brings in additional
benefit of avoiding HLT related #VEs altogether.
As tested by Ryan Afranji:
"Tested with the specjbb2015 benchmark. It has heavy lock contention which leads
to many halt calls. TDX VMs suffered a poor score before this patchset.
Verified the major performance improvement with this patchset applied."

CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL is mainly defined/used by XEN PV guests. For
other VM guest types, features supported under CONFIG_PARAVIRT
are self sufficient. CONFIG_PARAVIRT mainly provides support for
TLB flush operations and time related operations.
For TDX guest as well, paravirt calls under CONFIG_PARVIRT meets
most of its requirement except the need of HLT and SAFE_HLT
paravirt calls, which is currently defined under
CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL.
Since enabling CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL is too bloated for TDX guest
like platforms, move HLT and SAFE_HLT paravirt calls under
CONFIG_PARAVIRT.
Moving HLT and SAFE_HLT paravirt calls are not fatal and should not
break any functionality for current users of CONFIG_PARAVIRT.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"These are dominated by cpufreq updates which in turn are dominated by
updates related to boost support in the core and drivers and
amd-pstate driver optimizations.
Apart from the above, there are some cpuidle updates including a
rework of the most recent idle intervals handling in the venerable
menu governor that leads to significant improvements in some
performance benchmarks, as the governor is now more likely to predict
a shorter idle duration in some cases, and there are updates of the
core device power management code, mostly related to system suspend
and resume, that should help to avoid potential issues arising when
the drivers of devices depending on one another want to use different
optimizations.
There is also a usual collection of assorted fixes and cleanups,
including removal of some unused code.
Specifics:
- Manage sysfs attributes and boost frequencies efficiently from
cpufreq core to reduce boilerplate code in drivers (Viresh Kumar)
- Minor cleanups to cpufreq drivers (Aaron Kling, Benjamin Schneider,
Dhananjay Ugwekar, Imran Shaik, zuoqian)
- Migrate some cpufreq drivers to using for_each_present_cpu() (Jacky
Bai)
- cpufreq-qcom-hw DT binding fixes (Krzysztof Kozlowski)
- Use str_enable_disable() helper in cpufreq_online() (Lifeng Zheng)
- Optimize the amd-pstate driver to avoid cases where call paths end
up calling the same writes multiple times and needlessly caching
variables through code reorganization, locking overhaul and tracing
adjustments (Mario Limonciello, Dhananjay Ugwekar)
- Make it possible to avoid enabling capacity-aware scheduling (CAS)
in the intel_pstate driver and relocate a check for out-of-band
(OOB) platform handling in it to make it detect OOB before checking
HWP availability (Rafael Wysocki)
- Fix dbs_update() to avoid inadvertent conversions of negative
integer values to unsigned int which causes CPU frequency selection
to be inaccurate in some cases when the "conservative" cpufreq
governor is in use (Jie Zhan)
- Update the handling of the most recent idle intervals in the menu
cpuidle governor to prevent useful information from being discarded
by it in some cases and improve the prediction accuracy (Rafael
Wysocki)
- Make it possible to tell the intel_idle driver to ignore its
built-in table of idle states for the given processor, clean up the
handling of auto-demotion disabling on Baytrail and Cherrytrail
chips in it, and update its MAINTAINERS entry (David Arcari, Artem
Bityutskiy, Rafael Wysocki)
- Make some cpuidle drivers use for_each_present_cpu() instead of
for_each_possible_cpu() during initialization to avoid issues
occurring when nosmp or maxcpus=0 are used (Jacky Bai)
- Clean up the Energy Model handling code somewhat (Rafael Wysocki)
- Use kfree_rcu() to simplify the handling of runtime Energy Model
updates (Li RongQing)
- Add an entry for the Energy Model framework to MAINTAINERS as
properly maintained (Lukasz Luba)
- Address RCU-related sparse warnings in the Energy Model code
(Rafael Wysocki)
- Remove ENERGY_MODEL dependency on SMP and allow it to be selected
when DEVFREQ is set without CPUFREQ so it can be used on a wider
range of systems (Jeson Gao)
- Unify error handling during runtime suspend and runtime resume in
the core to help drivers to implement more consistent runtime PM
error handling (Rafael Wysocki)
- Drop a redundant check from pm_runtime_force_resume() and rearrange
documentation related to __pm_runtime_disable() (Rafael Wysocki)
- Rework the handling of the "smart suspend" driver flag in the PM
core to avoid issues hat may occur when drivers using it depend on
some other drivers and clean up the related PM core code (Rafael
Wysocki, Colin Ian King)
- Fix the handling of devices with the power.direct_complete flag set
if device_suspend() returns an error for at least one device to
avoid situations in which some of them may not be resumed (Rafael
Wysocki)
- Use mutex_trylock() in hibernate_compressor_param_set() to avoid a
possible deadlock that may occur if the "compressor" hibernation
module parameter is accessed during the registration of a new
ieee80211 device (Lizhi Xu)
- Suppress sleeping parent warning in device_pm_add() in the case
when new children are added under a device with the
power.direct_complete set after it has been processed by
device_resume() (Xu Yang)
- Remove needless return in three void functions related to system
wakeup (Zijun Hu)
- Replace deprecated kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page() in the
hibernation core code (David Reaver)
- Remove unused helper functions related to system sleep (David Alan
Gilbert)
- Clean up s2idle_enter() so it does not lock and unlock CPU offline
in vain and update comments in it (Ulf Hansson)
- Clean up broken white space in dpm_wait_for_children() (Geert
Uytterhoeven)
- Update the cpupower utility to fix lib version-ing in it and memory
leaks in error legs, remove hard-coded values, and implement CPU
physical core querying (Thomas Renninger, John B. Wyatt IV, Shuah
Khan, Yiwei Lin, Zhongqiu Han)"

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
"Nothing major this time around.
Apart from the usual perf/PMU updates, some page table cleanups, the
notable features are average CPU frequency based on the AMUv1
counters, CONFIG_HOTPLUG_SMT and MOPS instructions (memcpy/memset) in
the uaccess routines.
Perf and PMUs:
- Support for the 'Rainier' CPU PMU from Arm
- Preparatory driver changes and cleanups that pave the way for BRBE
support
- Support for partial virtualisation of the Apple-M1 PMU
- Support for the second event filter in Arm CSPMU designs
- Minor fixes and cleanups (CMN and DWC PMUs)
- Enable EL2 requirements for FEAT_PMUv3p9
Power, CPU topology:
- Support for AMUv1-based average CPU frequency
- Run-time SMT control wired up for arm64 (CONFIG_HOTPLUG_SMT). It
adds a generic topology_is_primary_thread() function overridden by
x86 and powerpc
New(ish) features:
- MOPS (memcpy/memset) support for the uaccess routines
Security/confidential compute:
- Fix the DMA address for devices used in Realms with Arm CCA. The
CCA architecture uses the address bit to differentiate between
shared and private addresses
- Spectre-BHB: assume CPUs Linux doesn't know about vulnerable by
default
Memory management clean-ups:
- Drop the P*D_TABLE_BIT definition in preparation for 128-bit PTEs
- Some minor page table accessor clean-ups
- PIE/POE (permission indirection/overlay) helpers clean-up
Kselftests:
- MTE: skip hugetlb tests if MTE is not supported on such mappings
and user correct naming for sync/async tag checking modes
Miscellaneous:
- Add a PKEY_UNRESTRICTED definition as 0 to uapi (toolchain people
request)
- Sysreg updates for new register fields

Pull irq driver updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Support for hard indices on RISC-V. The hart index identifies a hart
(core) within a specific interrupt domain in RISC-V's Priviledged
Architecture.
- Rework of the RISC-V MSI driver
This moves the driver over to the generic MSI library and solves the
affinity problem of unmaskable PCI/MSI controllers. Unmaskable
PCI/MSI controllers are prone to lose interrupts when the MSI message
is updated to change the affinity because the message write consists
of three 32-bit subsequent writes, which update address and data. As
these writes are non-atomic versus the device raising an interrupt,
the device can observe a half written update and issue an interrupt
on the wrong vector. This is mitiated by a carefully orchestrated
step by step update and the observation of an eventually pending
interrupt on the CPU which issues the update. The algorithm follows
the well established method of the X86 MSI driver.
- A new driver for the RISC-V Sophgo SG2042 MSI controller
- Overhaul of the Renesas RZQ2L driver
Simplification of the probe function by using devm_*() mechanisms,
which avoid the endless list of error prone gotos in the failure
paths.
- Expand the Renesas RZV2H driver to support RZ/G3E SoCs
- A workaround for Rockchip 3568002 erratum in the GIC-V3 driver to
ensure that the addressing is limited to the lower 32-bit of the
physical address space.
- Add support for the Allwinner AS23 NMI controller
- Expand the IMX irqsteer driver to handle up to 960 input interrupts

When split_lock_mitigate is disabled, each CPU needs its own delayed_work
structure. They are used to reenable split lock detection after its
disabling. But delayed_work structure must be correctly initialized after
its allocation.
Current implementation uses deferred initialization that makes the
split lock handler code unclear. The code can be simplified a bit
if the initialization is moved to the appropriate initcall.
sld_setup() is called before setup_per_cpu_areas(), thus it can't be used
for this purpose, so introduce an independent initcall for
the initialization.

During the bring-up of an x86 board, the kernel was crashing before
reaching the platform's console driver because of a bug in the firmware,
leaving no trace of the boot progress.
The only available method to debug the kernel boot process was via the
platform's MMIO-based UART, as the board lacked an I/O port-based UART,
PCI UART, or functional video output.
Then it turned out that earlyprintk= does not have a knob to configure
the MMIO-mapped UART.
Extend the early printk facility to support platform MMIO-based UARTs
on x86 systems, enabling debugging during the system bring-up phase.
The command line syntax to enable platform MMIO-based UART is:
earlyprintk=mmio,membase[,{nocfg|baudrate}][,keep]
Note, the change does not integrate MMIO-based UART support to:
arch/x86/boot/early_serial_console.c
Also, update kernel parameters documentation with the new syntax and
add the missing 'nocfg' setting to the PCI serial cards description.

misplaced assignment
Commit:
2e4be0d011f2 ("x86/show_trace_log_lvl: Ensure stack pointer is aligned, again")
was intended to ensure alignment of the stack pointer; but it also moved
the initialization of the "stack" variable down into the loop header.
This was likely intended as a no-op cleanup, since the commit
message does not mention it; however, this caused a behavioral change
because the value of "regs" is different between the two places.
Originally, get_stack_pointer() used the regs provided by the caller; after
that commit, get_stack_pointer() instead uses the regs at the top of the
stack frame the unwinder is looking at. Often, there are no such regs at
all, and "regs" is NULL, causing get_stack_pointer() to fall back to the
task's current stack pointer, which is not what we want here, but probably
happens to mostly work. Other times, the original regs will point to
another regs frame - in that case, the linear guess unwind logic in
show_trace_log_lvl() will start unwinding too far up the stack, causing the
first frame found by the proper unwinder to never be visited, resulting in
a stack trace consisting purely of guess lines.
Fix it by moving the "stack = " assignment back where it belongs.

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.

includes all of arch/x86/ and kernel/sched/. (Josh Poimboeuf)

Merge cpufreq updates for 6.15-rc1:
- Manage sysfs attributes and boost frequencies efficiently from
cpufreq core to reduce boilerplate code from drivers (Viresh Kumar).
- Minor cleanups to cpufreq drivers (Aaron Kling, Benjamin Schneider,
Dhananjay Ugwekar, Imran Shaik, and zuoqian).
- Migrate some cpufreq drivers to using for_each_present_cpu() (Jacky
Bai).
- cpufreq-qcom-hw DT binding fixes (Krzysztof Kozlowski).
- Use str_enable_disable() helper in cpufreq_online() (Lifeng Zheng).
- Optimize the amd-pstate driver to avoid cases where call paths end
up calling the same writes multiple times and needlessly caching
variables through code reorganization, locking overhaul and tracing
adjustments (Mario Limonciello, Dhananjay Ugwekar).
- Make it possible to avoid enabling capacity-aware scheduling (CAS) in
the intel_pstate driver and relocate a check for out-of-band (OOB)
platform handling in it to make it detect OOB before checking HWP
availability (Rafael Wysocki).
- Fix dbs_update() to avoid inadvertent conversions of negative integer
values to unsigned int which causes CPU frequency selection to be
inaccurate in some cases when the "conservative" cpufreq governor is
in use (Jie Zhan).

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
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: handle_bug.isra.0+0x198: call to ftrace_likely_update() leaves .noinstr.text section

Add mshv_handler() to process messages related to managing guest
partitions such as intercepts, doorbells, and scheduling messages.
In a (non-nested) root partition, the same interrupt vector is shared
between the vmbus and mshv_root drivers.
Introduce a stub for mshv_handler() and call it in
sysvec_hyperv_callback alongside vmbus_handler().
Even though both handlers will be called for every Hyper-V interrupt,
the messages for each driver are delivered to different offsets
within the SYNIC message page, so they won't step on each other.
