Merge tag 'riscv-for-linus-7.1-mw1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/riscv/linux

Pull RISC-V updates from Paul Walmsley:
 "There is one significant change outside arch/riscv in this pull
  request: the addition of a set of KUnit tests for strlen(), strnlen(),
  and strrchr().

  Otherwise, the most notable changes are to add some RISC-V-specific
  string function implementations, to remove XIP kernel support, to add
  hardware error exception handling, and to optimize our runtime
  unaligned access speed testing.

  A few comments on the motivation for removing XIP support. It's been
  broken in the RISC-V kernel for months. The code is not easy to
  maintain. Furthermore, for XIP support to truly be useful for RISC-V,
  we think that compile-time feature switches would need to be added for
  many of the RISC-V ISA features and microarchitectural properties that
  are currently implemented with runtime patching. No one has stepped
  forward to take responsibility for that work, so many of us think it's
  best to remove it until clear use cases and champions emerge.

  Summary:

   - Add Kunit correctness testing and microbenchmarks for strlen(),
     strnlen(), and strrchr()

   - Add RISC-V-specific strnlen(), strchr(), strrchr() implementations

   - Add hardware error exception handling

   - Clean up and optimize our unaligned access probe code

   - Enable HAVE_IOREMAP_PROT to be able to use generic_access_phys()

   - Remove XIP kernel support

   - Warn when addresses outside the vmemmap range are passed to
     vmemmap_populate()

   - Update the ACPI FADT revision check to warn if it's not at least
     ACPI v6.6, which is when key RISC-V-specific tables were added to
     the specification

   - Increase COMMAND_LINE_SIZE to 2048 to match ARM64, x86, PowerPC,
     etc.

   - Make kaslr_offset() a static inline function, since there's no need
     for it to show up in the symbol table

   - Add KASLR offset and SATP to the VMCOREINFO ELF notes to improve
     kdump support

   - Add Makefile cleanup rule for vdso_cfi copied source files, and add
     a .gitignore for the build artifacts in that directory

Pull ACPI support updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These include an update of the CMOS RTC driver and the related ACPI
  and x86 code that, among other things, switches it over to using the
  platform device interface for device binding on x86 instead of the PNP
  device driver interface (which allows the code in question to be
  simplified quite a bit), a major update of the ACPI Time and Alarm
  Device (TAD) driver adding an RTC class device interface to it, and
  updates of core ACPI drivers that remove some unnecessary and not
  really useful code from them.

  Apart from that, two drivers are converted to using the platform
  driver interface for device binding instead of the ACPI driver one,
  which is slated for removal, support for the Performance Limited
  register is added to the ACPI CPPC library and there are some
  janitorial updates of it and the related cpufreq CPPC driver, the ACPI
  processor driver is fixed and cleaned up, and NVIDIA vendor CPER
  record handler is added to the APEI GHES code.

  Also, the interface for obtaining a CPU UID from ACPI is consolidated
  across architectures and used for fixing a problem with the PCI TPH
  Steering Tag on ARM64, there are two updates related to ACPICA, a
  minor ACPI OS Services Layer (OSL) update, and a few assorted updates
  related to ACPI tables parsing.

  Specifics:

   - Update maintainers information regarding ACPICA (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Replace strncpy() with strscpy_pad() in acpi_ut_safe_strncpy()
     (Kees Cook)

   - Trigger an ordered system power off after encountering a fatal
     error operator in AML (Armin Wolf)

   - Enable ACPI FPDT parsing on LoongArch (Xi Ruoyao)

   - Remove the temporary stop-gap acpi_pptt_cache_v1_full structure
     from the ACPI PPTT parser (Ben Horgan)

   - Add support for exposing ACPI FPDT subtables FBPT and S3PT (Nate
     DeSimone)

   - Address multiple assorted issues and clean up the code in the ACPI
     processor idle driver (Huisong Li)

   - Replace strlcat() in the ACPI processor idle drive with a better
     alternative (Andy Shevchenko)

   - Rearrange and clean up acpi_processor_errata_piix4() (Rafael
     Wysocki)

   - Move reference performance to capabilities and fix an uninitialized
     variable in the ACPI CPPC library (Pengjie Zhang)

   - Add support for the Performance Limited Register to the ACPI CPPC
     library (Sumit Gupta)

   - Add cppc_get_perf() API to read performance controls, extend
     cppc_set_epp_perf() for FFH/SystemMemory, and make the ACPI CPPC
     library warn on missing mandatory DESIRED_PERF register (Sumit
     Gupta)

   - Modify the cpufreq CPPC driver to update MIN_PERF/MAX_PERF in
     target callbacks to allow it to control performance bounds via
     standard scaling_min_freq and scaling_max_freq sysfs attributes and
     add sysfs documentation for the Performance Limited Register to it
     (Sumit Gupta)

   - Add ACPI support to the platform device interface in the CMOS RTC
     driver, make the ACPI core device enumeration code create a
     platform device for the CMOS RTC, and drop CMOS RTC PNP device
     support (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Consolidate the x86-specific CMOS RTC handling with the ACPI TAD
     driver and clean up the CMOS RTC ACPI address space handler (Rafael
     Wysocki)

   - Enable ACPI alarm in the CMOS RTC driver if advertised in ACPI FADT
     and allow that driver to work without a dedicated IRQ if the ACPI
     alarm is used (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Clean up the ACPI TAD driver in various ways and add an RTC class
     device interface, including both the RTC setting/reading and alarm
     timer support, to it (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Clean up the ACPI AC and ACPI PAD (processor aggregator device)
     drivers (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Rework checking for duplicate video bus devices and consolidate
     pnp.bus_id workarounds handling in the ACPI video bus driver

9b3a2be848 riscv: Remove support for XIP kernel
XIP has a history of being broken for long periods of time. In 2023, it was
broken for 18 months before getting fixed [1]. In 2024 it was 4 months [2].

And now it is broken again since commit a44fb57221 ("riscv: Add runtime
constant support"), 10 months ago.

These are clear signs that XIP feature is not being used.

I occasionally looked after XIP, but mostly because I was bored and had
nothing better to do.

Remove XIP support. Revert is possible if someone shows up complaining.

6455c6c118 riscv: Clean up & optimize unaligned scalar access probe
check_unaligned_access_speed_all_cpus() is more complicated than it should
be:

  - It uses on_each_cpu() to probe unaligned memory access on all CPUs but
    excludes CPU0 with a check in the callback function. So an IPI to CPU0
    is wasted.

  - Probing on CPU0 is done with smp_call_on_cpu(), which is not as fast as
    on_each_cpu().

The reason for this design is because the probe is timed with jiffies.
Therefore on_each_cpu() excludes CPU0 because that CPU needs to tend to
jiffies.

Instead, replace jiffies usage with ktime_get_mono_fast_ns(). With jiffies
out of the way, on_each_cpu() can be used for all CPUs and
smp_call_on_cpu() can be dropped.

To make ktime_get_mono_fast_ns() usable, move this probe to late_initcall.
Anything after clocksource's fs_initcall works, but avoid depending on
clocksource staying at fs_initcall.

The choice of probe time is now 8000000 ns, which is the same as before (2
jiffies) for riscv defconfig. This is excessive for the CPUs I have, and
probably should be reduced; but that's a different discussion.

d7df050547 riscv: vdso_cfi: Add .gitignore for build artifacts
The vdso_cfi build process copies source files (*.c, *.S) from the main
vdso directory to the build directory. Without a .gitignore file, these
copied files appear as untracked files in git status, cluttering the
working directory.

Add a .gitignore file to exclude:
- Copied source files (*.c, *.S)
- Temporary build files (vdso.lds, *.tmp, vdso-syms.S)
- While preserving vdso-cfi.S which is the original entry point

This follows the same pattern used in the main vdso directory

382cf7b75b riscv: vdso_cfi: Add clean rule for copied sources
When building VDSO with CFI support, source files are copied from the main
VDSO directory to the CFI build directory as part of the build process.
However, these copied source files were not removed during 'make clean',
leaving temporary files in the build directory.

Add the clean-files variable to ensure that these copied .c and .S files
are properly cleaned up. The notdir() function is used to strip the path
prefix, as clean-files expects relative file names without directory
components.

This ensures the build directory is left in a clean state after make clean.

08ee155905 prctl: cfi: change the branch landing pad prctl()s to be more descriptive
Per Linus' comments requesting the replacement of "INDIR_BR_LP" in the
indirect branch tracking prctl()s with something more readable, and
suggesting the use of the speculation control prctl()s as an exemplar,
reimplement the prctl()s and related constants that control per-task
forward-edge control flow integrity.

This primarily involves two changes.  First, the prctls are
restructured to resemble the style of the speculative execution
workaround control prctls PR_{GET,SET}_SPECULATION_CTRL, to make them
easier to extend in the future.  Second, the "indir_br_lp" abbrevation
is expanded to "branch_landing_pads" to be less telegraphic.  The
kselftest and documentation is adjusted accordingly.

Similar to the recent change to expand "LP" to "branch landing pad",
let's expand "SS" in the ptrace uapi macros to "shadow stack" as well.
This aligns with the existing prctl() arguments, which use the

Per Linus' comments about the unreadability of abbreviations such as
"indir_br_lp", rename the three prctl() implementation functions to be more

While here, add _prctl_ into the function names, following the

When libc locks the CFI status through the following prctl:
 - PR_LOCK_SHADOW_STACK_STATUS
 - PR_LOCK_INDIR_BR_LP_STATUS

A newly execd address space will inherit the lock status
if it does not clear the lock bits. Since the lock bits
remain set, libc will later fail to enable the landing

Since this is called from apply_boot_alternatives() in setup_arch(), and

phys_to_page() is not available there yet, and it panics on boot with

- The sleeping_thread_to_gdb_regs() function copies the value of the

a96ef5848c randomize_kstack: Unify random source across arches
Previously different architectures were using random sources of
differing strength and cost to decide the random kstack offset. A number
of architectures (loongarch, powerpc, s390, x86) were using their
timestamp counter, at whatever the frequency happened to be. Other
arches (arm64, riscv) were using entropy from the crng via
get_random_u16().

There have been concerns that in some cases the timestamp counters may
be too weak, because they can be easily guessed or influenced by user
space. And get_random_u16() has been shown to be too costly for the
level of protection kstack offset randomization provides.

So let's use a common, architecture-agnostic source of entropy; a
per-cpu prng, seeded at boot-time from the crng. This has a few
benefits:

  - We can remove choose_random_kstack_offset(); That was only there to
    try to make the timestamp counter value a bit harder to influence
    from user space [*].

  - The architecture code is simplified. All it has to do now is call
    add_random_kstack_offset() in the syscall path.

  - The strength of the randomness can be reasoned about independently
    of the architecture.

  - Arches previously using get_random_u16() now have much faster
    syscall paths, see below results.

[*] Additionally, this gets rid of some redundant work on s390 and x86.
Before this patch, those architectures called
choose_random_kstack_offset() under arch_exit_to_user_mode_prepare(),
which is also called for exception returns to userspace which were *not*
syscalls (e.g. regular interrupts). Getting rid of
choose_random_kstack_offset() avoids a small amount of redundant work
for the non-syscall cases.

In some configurations, add_random_kstack_offset() will now call
instrumentable code, so for a couple of arches, I have moved the call a
bit later to the first point where instrumentation is allowed. This
doesn't impact the efficacy of the mechanism.

There have been some claims that a prng may be less strong than the
timestamp counter if not regularly reseeded. But the prng has a period
of about 2^113. So as long as the prng state remains secret, it should
not be possible to guess. If the prng state can be accessed, we have
bigger problems.

Additionally, we are only consuming 6 bits to randomize the stack, so
there are only 64 possible random offsets. I assert that it would be
trivial for an attacker to brute force by repeating their attack and
waiting for the random stack offset to be the desired one. The prng
approach seems entirely proportional to this level of protection.

Performance data are provided below. The baseline is v6.18 with rndstack
on for each respective arch. (I)/(R) indicate statistically significant
improvement/regression. arm64 platform is AWS Graviton3 (m7g.metal).
x86_64 platform is AWS Sapphire Rapids (m7i.24xlarge):

+-----------------+--------------+---------------+---------------+

I tested an earlier version of this change on x86 bare metal and it
showed a smaller but still significant improvement. The bare metal
system wasn't available this time around so testing was done in a VM
instance. I'm guessing the cost of rdtsc is higher for VMs.

kbuild: Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS
Commit 3e86e4d74c ("kbuild: keep .modinfo section in
vmlinux.unstripped") added .modinfo to ELF_DETAILS while removing it
from COMMON_DISCARDS, as it was needed in vmlinux.unstripped and
ELF_DETAILS was present in all architecture specific vmlinux linker
scripts. While this shuffle is fine for vmlinux, ELF_DETAILS and
COMMON_DISCARDS may be used by other linker scripts, such as the s390
and x86 compressed boot images, which may not expect to have a .modinfo
section. In certain circumstances, this could result in a bootloader
failing to load the compressed kernel [1].

Commit ddc6cbef3e ("s390/boot/vmlinux.lds.S: Ensure bzImage ends with
SecureBoot trailer") recently addressed this for the s390 bzImage but
the same bug remains for arm, parisc, and x86. The presence of .modinfo
in the x86 bzImage was the root cause of the issue worked around with
commit d50f210913 ("kbuild: align modinfo section for Secureboot
Authenticode EDK2 compat"). misc.c in arch/x86/boot/compressed includes
lib/decompress_unzstd.c, which in turn includes lib/xxhash.c and its
MODULE_LICENSE / MODULE_DESCRIPTION macros due to the STATIC definition.

Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS into its own macro and handle it in
all vmlinux linker scripts. Discard .modinfo in the places where it was
previously being discarded from being in COMMON_DISCARDS, as it has
never been necessary in those uses.

32a92f8c89 Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments
This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines.  I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script.  I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from

avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning

x86 PMU driver updates:
 
  - Add support for the core PMU for Intel Diamond Rapids (DMR) CPUs.
    Compared to previous iterations of the Intel PMU code, there's
    been a lot of changes, which center around three main areas:
 
     - Introduce the OFF-MODULE RESPONSE (OMR) facility to
       replace the Off-Core Response (OCR) facility
 
     - New PEBS data source encoding layout
 
     - Support the new "RDPMC user disable" feature
 
    (Dapeng Mi)
 
  - Likewise, a large series adds uncore PMU support for
    Intel Diamond Rapids (DMR) CPUs, which center around these
    four main areas:
 
     - DMR may have two Integrated I/O and Memory Hub (IMH) dies,
       separate from the compute tile (CBB) dies.  Each CBB and
       each IMH die has its own discovery domain.
 
     - Unlike prior CPUs that retrieve the global discovery table
       portal exclusively via PCI or MSR, DMR uses PCI for IMH PMON
       discovery and MSR for CBB PMON discovery.
 
     - DMR introduces several new PMON types: SCA, HAMVF, D2D_ULA,
       UBR, PCIE4, CRS, CPC, ITC, OTC, CMS, and PCIE6.
 
     - IIO free-running counters in DMR are MMIO-based, unlike SPR.
 
    (Zide Chen)
 
  - Also add support for Add missing PMON units for Intel Panther Lake,
    and support Nova Lake (NVL), which largely maps to Panther Lake.
    (Zide Chen)
 
  - KVM integration: Add support for mediated vPMUs (by Kan Liang
    and Sean Christopherson, with fixes and cleanups by Peter Zijlstra,
    Sandipan Das and Mingwei Zhang)
 
  - Add Intel cstate driver to support for Wildcat Lake (WCL)
    CPUs, which are a low-power variant of Panther Lake.
    (Zide Chen)
 
  - Add core, cstate and MSR PMU support for the Airmont NP Intel CPU
    (aka MaxLinear Lightning Mountain), which maps to the existing
    Airmont code. (Martin Schiller)
 
 Performance enhancements:
 
  - core: Speed up kexec shutdown by avoiding unnecessary
    cross CPU calls. (Jan H. Schönherr)
 
  - core: Fix slow perf_event_task_exit() with LBR callstacks
    (Namhyung Kim)

f4be988f5b riscv: ptrace: validate input vector csr registers
Add strict validation for vector csr registers when setting them via
ptrace:
- reject attempts to set reserved bits or invalid field combinations
- enforce strict VL checks against calculated VLMAX values

Vector specs 0.7.1 and 1.0 allow normal applications to set candidate
VL values and read back the hardware-adjusted results, see section 6
for details. Disallow such flexibility in vector ptrace operations
and strictly enforce valid VL input.

The traced process may not update its saved vector context if no vector
instructions execute between breakpoints. So the purpose of the strict
ptrace approach is to make sure that debuggers maintain an accurate view
of the tracee's vector context across multiple halt/resume debug cycles.

ef3ff40346 riscv: vector: init vector context with proper vlenb
The vstate in thread_struct is zeroed when the vector context is
initialized. That includes read-only register vlenb, which holds
the vector register length in bytes. Zeroed state persists until
mstatus.VS becomes 'dirty' and a context switch saves the actual
hardware values.

This can expose the zero vlenb value to the user-space in early
debug scenarios, e.g. when ptrace attaches to a traced process
early, before any vector instruction except the first one was
executed.

Fix this by specifying proper vlenb on vector context init.

8cdb04bd06 riscv: ptrace: return ENODATA for inactive vector extension
Currently, ptrace returns EINVAL when the vector extension is supported
but not yet activated for the traced process. This error code is not
always appropriate since the ptrace arguments may be valid.

Debug tools like gdbserver expect ENODATA when the requested register
set is not active, e.g. see [1]. This expectation seems to be more
appropriate, so modify the vector ptrace implementation to return:
- EINVAL when V extension is not supported
- ENODATA when V extension is supported but not active

ccad8c1336 arch/riscv: add dual vdso creation logic and select vdso based on hw
Shadow stack instructions are taken from the Zimop ISA extension,
which is mandated on RVA23. Any userspace with shadow stack
instructions in it will fault on hardware that doesn't have support
for Zimop.  Thus, a shadow stack-enabled userspace can't be run on
hardware that doesn't support Zimop.

It's not known how Linux userspace providers will respond to this kind
of binary fragmentation.  In order to keep kernel portable across
different hardware, 'arch/riscv/kernel/vdso_cfi' is created which has
Makefile logic to compile 'arch/riscv/kernel/vdso' sources with CFI
flags, and 'arch/riscv/kernel/vdso.c' is modified to select the
appropriate vdso depending on whether the underlying CPU implements
the Zimop extension. Since the offset of vdso symbols will change due
to having two different vdso binaries, there is added logic to include
a new generated vdso offset header and dynamically select the offset
(like for rt_sigreturn).

41213bf2ae riscv: enable kernel access to shadow stack memory via the FWFT SBI call
The kernel has to perform shadow stack operations on the user shadow stack.
During signal delivery and sigreturn, the shadow stack token must be
created and validated respectively. Thus shadow stack access for the kernel
must be enabled.

In the future, when kernel shadow stacks are enabled, they must be
enabled as early as possible for better coverage and to prevent any
imbalance between the regular stack and the shadow stack. After
'relocate_enable_mmu' has completed, this is the earliest that it can
be enabled.
