Pull EFI updates from Ard Biesheuvel:
"Note the removal of the EFI fake memory map support - this is believed
to be unused and no longer worth supporting. However, we could easily
bring it back if needed.
With recent developments regarding confidential VMs and unaccepted
memory, combined with kexec, creating a known inaccurate view of the
firmware's memory map and handing it to the OS is a feature we can
live without, hence the removal. Alternatively, I could imagine making
this feature mutually exclusive with those confidential VM related
features, but let's try simply removing it first.
Summary:
- Drop support for the 'fake' EFI memory map on x86
- Add an SMBIOS based tweak to the EFI stub instructing the firmware
on x86 Macbook Pros to keep both GPUs enabled
- Replace 0-sized array with flexible array in EFI memory attributes
table handling
- Drop redundant BSS clearing when booting via the native PE
entrypoint on x86
- Avoid returning EFI_SUCCESS when aborting on an out-of-memory
condition
- Cosmetic tweak for arm64 KASLR loading logic"

PCIe ACS settings control the level of isolation and the possible P2P paths
between devices. With greater isolation the kernel will create smaller
iommu_groups and with less isolation there is more HW that can achieve P2P
transfers. From a virtualization perspective all devices in the same
iommu_group must be assigned to the same VM as they lack security
isolation.
There is no way for the kernel to automatically know the correct ACS
settings for any given system and workload. Existing command line options
(e.g., disable_acs_redir) allow only for large scale change, disabling all
isolation, but this is not sufficient for more complex cases.
Add a kernel command-line option 'config_acs' to directly control all the
ACS bits for specific devices, which allows the operator to setup the right
level of isolation to achieve the desired P2P configuration. The
definition is future proof; when new ACS bits are added to the spec the
open syntax can be extended.
ACS needs to be setup early in the kernel boot as the ACS settings affect
how iommu_groups are formed. iommu_group formation is a one time event
during initial device discovery, so changing ACS bits after kernel boot can
result in an inaccurate view of the iommu_groups compared to the current
isolation configuration.
ACS applies to PCIe Downstream Ports and multi-function devices. The
default ACS settings are strict and deny any direct traffic between two
functions. This results in the smallest iommu_group the HW can support.
Frequently these values result in slow or non-working P2PDMA.
ACS offers a range of security choices controlling how traffic is
allowed to go directly between two devices. Some popular choices:
- Full prevention
- Translated requests can be direct, with various options
- Asymmetric direct traffic, A can reach B but not the reverse
- All traffic can be direct
Along with some other less common ones for special topologies.
The intention is that this option would be used with expert knowledge of
the HW capability and workload to achieve the desired configuration.

Implement ieee754 NAN2008 emulation mode.
When this mode is enabled, kernel will accept ELF file
compiled for both NaN 2008 and NaN legacy, but if hardware
does not have capability to match ELF's NaN mode, __own_fpu
will fail for corresponding thread and fpuemu will then kick
in.
This mode trade performance for correctness, while maintaining
support for both NaN mode regardless of hardware capability.
It is useful for multilib installation that have both types
of binary exist in system.

Today Xen multicall debugging needs to be enabled via modifying a
define in a source file for getting debug data of multicall errors
encountered by users.
Switch multicall debugging to depend on a boot parameter "xen_mc_debug"
instead, enabling affected users to boot with the new parameter set in
order to get better diagnostics.
With debugging enabled print the following information in case at least
one of the batched calls failed:
- all calls of the batch with operation, result and caller
- all parameters of each call
- all parameters stored in the multicall data for each call

Per-cpu struct kvm_steal_time is added here, its size is 64 bytes and
also defined as 64 bytes, so that the whole structure is in one physical
page.
When a VCPU is online, function pv_enable_steal_time() is called. This
function will pass guest physical address of struct kvm_steal_time and
tells hypervisor to enable steal time. When a vcpu is offline, physical
address is set as 0 and tells hypervisor to disable steal time.
Here is an output of vmstat on guest when there is workload on both host
and guest. It shows steal time stat information.

If a CPU is running either a userspace application or a guest OS in
nohz_full mode, it is possible for a system call to occur just as an
RCU grace period is starting. If that CPU also has the scheduling-clock
tick enabled for any reason (such as a second runnable task), and if the
system was booted with rcutree.use_softirq=0, then RCU can add insult to
injury by awakening that CPU's rcuc kthread, resulting in yet another
task and yet more OS jitter due to switching to that task, running it,
and switching back.
In addition, in the common case where that system call is not of
excessively long duration, awakening the rcuc task is pointless.
This pointlessness is due to the fact that the CPU will enter an extended
quiescent state upon returning to the userspace application or guest OS.
In this case, the rcuc kthread cannot do anything that the main RCU
grace-period kthread cannot do on its behalf, at least if it is given
a few additional milliseconds (for example, given the time duration
specified by rcutree.jiffies_till_first_fqs, give or take scheduling
delays).
This commit therefore adds a rcutree.nohz_full_patience_delay kernel
boot parameter that specifies the grace period age (in milliseconds,
rounded to jiffies) before which RCU will refrain from awakening the
rcuc kthread. Preliminary experimentation suggests a value of 1000,
that is, one second. Increasing rcutree.nohz_full_patience_delay will
increase grace-period latency and in turn increase memory footprint,
so systems with constrained memory might choose a smaller value.
Systems with less-aggressive OS-jitter requirements might choose the
default value of zero, which keeps the traditional immediate-wakeup
behavior, thus avoiding increases in grace-period latency.

'vmap allocation for size %lu failed: use vmalloc=<size> to increase size'
The above warning is seen in the kernel functionality for allocation of
the restricted virtual memory range till exhaustion.
This message is misleading because 'vmalloc=' is supported on arm32, x86

arc, csky, hexagon, microblaze, mips, nios2, openrisc, parisc, m64k,
powerpc, riscv, sh, um, xtensa, s390, sparc). With the update, the output
gets modified to include the function parameters along with the start and

Between kexec and confidential VM support, handling the EFI memory maps
correctly on x86 is already proving to be rather difficult (as opposed
to other EFI architectures which manage to never modify the EFI memory
map to begin with)
EFI fake memory map support is essentially a development hack (for
testing new support for the 'special purpose' and 'more reliable' EFI
memory attributes) that leaked into production code. The regions marked
in this manner are not actually recognized as such by the firmware
itself or the EFI stub (and never have), and marking memory as 'more
reliable' seems rather futile if the underlying memory is just ordinary
RAM.
Marking memory as 'special purpose' in this way is also dubious, but may
be in use in production code nonetheless. However, the same should be
achievable by using the memmap= command line option with the ! operator.
EFI fake memmap support is not enabled by any of the major distros
(Debian, Fedora, SUSE, Ubuntu) and does not exist on other
architectures, so let's drop support for it.

In cloud environments it can be useful to *only* enable the vmexit
mitigation and leave syscalls vulnerable. Add that as an option.
This is similar to the old spectre_bhi=auto option which was removed
with the following commit:
36d4fe147c87 ("x86/bugs: Remove CONFIG_BHI_MITIGATION_AUTO and spectre_bhi=auto")
with the main difference being that this has a more descriptive name and
is disabled by default.

In order to allow for requesting a memory region that can be used for
things like pstore on multiple machines where the memory layout is not the
same, add a new option to the kernel command line called "reserve_mem".
The format is: reserve_mem=nn:align:name
Where it will find nn amount of memory at the given alignment of align.
The name field is to allow another subsystem to retrieve where the memory
was found. For example:
reserve_mem=12M:4096:oops ramoops.mem_name=oops
Where ramoops.mem_name will tell ramoops that memory was reserved for it
via the reserve_mem option and it can find it by calling:
if (reserve_mem_find_by_name("oops", &start, &size)) {
// start holds the start address and size holds the size given
This is typically used for systems that do not wipe the RAM, and this
command line will try to reserve the same physical memory on soft reboots.
Note, it is not guaranteed to be the same location. For example, if KASLR
places the kernel at the location of where the RAM reservation was from a
previous boot, the new reservation will be at a different location. Any
subsystem using this feature must add a way to verify that the contents of
the physical memory is from a previous boot, as there may be cases where
the memory will not be located at the same location.
Not all systems may work either. There could be bit flips if the reboot
goes through the BIOS. Using kexec to reboot the machine is likely to
have better results in such cases.

There was insufficient review and no agreement that this is the right
approach.
There are serious flaws with the implementation that make processes using
mlock() not even work with simple fork() [1] and we get reliable crashes
when rebooting.
Further, simply because we might be unmapping a single PTE of a large
mlocked folio, we shouldn't zero out the whole folio.
... especially because the code can also *corrupt* urelated memory because
kernel_init_pages(page, folio_nr_pages(folio));
Could end up writing outside of the actual folio if we work with a tail
page.
Let's revert it. Once there is agreement that this is the right approach,
the issues were fixed and there was reasonable review and proper testing,
we can consider it again.

Add an early_params to control WFI and WFE trapping. This is to
control the degree guests can wait for interrupts on their own without
being trapped by KVM. Options for each param are trap and notrap. trap
enables the trap. notrap disables the trap. Note that when enabled,
traps are allowed but not guaranteed by the CPU architecture. Absent
an explicitly set policy, default to current behavior: disabling the
trap if only a single task is running and enabling otherwise.

Add an option to the trace_instance kernel command line parameter that
allows it to use the reserved memory from memmap boot parameter.
memmap=12M$0x284500000 trace_instance=boot_mapped@0x284500000:12M
The above will reserves 12 megs at the physical address 0x284500000.
The second parameter will create a "boot_mapped" instance and use the
memory reserved as the memory for the ring buffer.
That will create an instance called "boot_mapped":
/sys/kernel/tracing/instances/boot_mapped
Note, because the ring buffer is using a defined memory ranged, it will
act just like a memory mapped ring buffer. It will not have a snapshot
buffer, as it can't swap out the buffer. The snapshot files as well as any
tracers that uses a snapshot will not be present in the boot_mapped
instance.

Use preempt_model_preemptible() to detect a preemptible kernel when
deciding whether or not to reschedule in order to drop a contended
spinlock or rwlock. Because PREEMPT_DYNAMIC selects PREEMPTION, kernels
built with PREEMPT_DYNAMIC=y will yield contended locks even if the live
preemption model is "none" or "voluntary". In short, make kernels with
dynamically selected models behave the same as kernels with statically
selected models.
Somewhat counter-intuitively, NOT yielding a lock can provide better
latency for the relevant tasks/processes. E.g. KVM x86's mmu_lock, a
rwlock, is often contended between an invalidation event (takes mmu_lock
for write) and a vCPU servicing a guest page fault (takes mmu_lock for
read). For _some_ setups, letting the invalidation task complete even
if there is mmu_lock contention provides lower latency for *all* tasks,
i.e. the invalidation completes sooner *and* the vCPU services the guest
page fault sooner.
But even KVM's mmu_lock behavior isn't uniform, e.g. the "best" behavior
can vary depending on the host VMM, the guest workload, the number of
vCPUs, the number of pCPUs in the host, why there is lock contention, etc.
In other words, simply deleting the CONFIG_PREEMPTION guard (or doing the
opposite and removing contention yielding entirely) needs to come with a
big pile of data proving that changing the status quo is a net positive.
Opportunistically document this side effect of preempt=full, as yielding
contended spinlocks can have significant, user-visible impact.

Current storage scan delay is reduced by the following old commit.
a4a47bc03fe5 ("Lower USB storage settling delay to something more reasonable")
It means that delay is at least 'one second', or zero with delay_use=0.
'one second' is still long delay especially for embedded system but
when delay_use is set to 0 (no delay), still error observed on some USB drives.
So delay_use should not be set to 0 but 'one second' is quite long.
Especially for embedded system, it's important for end user
how quickly access to USB drive when it's connected.
That's why we have a chance to minimize such a constant long delay.
This patch optimizes scan delay more precisely
to minimize delay time but not to have any problems on USB drives
by extending module parameter 'delay_use' in milliseconds internally.
The parameter 'delay_use' optionally supports in milliseconds
if it ends with 'ms'.
It makes the range of value to 1 / 1000 in internal 32-bit value
but it's still enough to set the delay time.
By default, delay time is 'one second' for backward compatibility.
For example, it seems to be good by changing delay_use=100ms,
that is 100 millisecond delay without issues for most USB pen drives.

properties from cmdline
On x86/ACPI platforms touchscreens mostly just work without needing any
device/model specific configuration. But in some cases (mostly with Silead
and Goodix touchscreens) it is still necessary to manually specify various
touchscreen-properties on a per model basis.
touchscreen_dmi is a special place for DMI quirks for this, but it can be
challenging for users to figure out the right property values, especially
for Silead touchscreens where non of these can be read back from
the touchscreen-controller.
ATM users can only test touchscreen properties by editing touchscreen_dmi.c
and then building a completely new kernel which makes it unnecessary
difficult for users to test and submit properties when necessary for their
laptop / tablet model.
Add support for specifying properties on the kernel commandline to allow
users to easily figure out the right settings. See the added documentation
in kernel-parameters.txt for the commandline syntax.

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"The most interesting parts are probably the mm changes from Ryan which
optimise the creation of the linear mapping at boot and (separately)
implement write-protect support for userfaultfd.
Outside of our usual directories, the Kbuild-related changes under
scripts/ have been acked by Masahiro whilst the drivers/acpi/ parts
have been acked by Rafael and the addition of cpumask_any_and_but()
has been acked by Yury.
ACPI:
- Support for the Firmware ACPI Control Structure (FACS) signature
feature which is used to reboot out of hibernation on some systems
Kbuild:
- Support for building Flat Image Tree (FIT) images, where the kernel
Image is compressed alongside a set of devicetree blobs
Memory management:
- Optimisation of our early page-table manipulation for creation of
the linear mapping
- Support for userfaultfd write protection, which brings along some
nice cleanups to our handling of invalid but present ptes
- Extend our use of range TLBI invalidation at EL1
Perf and PMUs:
- Ensure that the 'pmu->parent' pointer is correctly initialised by
PMU drivers
- Avoid allocating 'cpumask_t' types on the stack in some PMU drivers
- Fix parsing of the CPU PMU "version" field in assembly code, as it
doesn't follow the usual architectural rules
- Add best-effort unwinding support for USER_STACKTRACE
- Minor driver fixes and cleanups
Selftests:
- Minor cleanups to the arm64 selftests (missing NULL check, unused
variable)
Miscellaneous:
- Add a command-line alias for disabling 32-bit application support
- Add part number for Neoverse-V2 CPUs
- Minor fixes and cleanups"

Pull x86 interrupt handling updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Add support for posted interrupts on bare metal.
Posted interrupts is a virtualization feature which allows to inject
interrupts directly into a guest without host interaction. The VT-d
interrupt remapping hardware sets the bit which corresponds to the
interrupt vector in a vector bitmap which is either used to inject the
interrupt directly into the guest via a virtualized APIC or in case
that the guest is scheduled out provides a host side notification
interrupt which informs the host that an interrupt has been marked
pending in the bitmap.
This can be utilized on bare metal for scenarios where multiple
devices, e.g. NVME storage, raise interrupts with a high frequency. In
the default mode these interrupts are handles independently and
therefore require a full roundtrip of interrupt entry/exit.
Utilizing posted interrupts this roundtrip overhead can be avoided by
coalescing these interrupt entries to a single entry for the posted
interrupt notification. The notification interrupt then demultiplexes
the pending bits in a memory based bitmap and invokes the
corresponding device specific handlers.
Depending on the usage scenario and device utilization throughput
improvements between 10% and 130% have been measured.
As this is only relevant for high end servers with multiple device
queues per CPU attached and counterproductive for situations where
interrupts are arriving at distinct times, the functionality is opt-in
via a kernel command line parameter"
