2c340aab54 x86/efi: Restore IRQ state in EFI page fault handler 
The kernel's softirq API does not permit re-enabling softirqs while IRQs
are disabled. The reason for this is that local_bh_enable() will not
only re-enable delivery of softirqs over the back of IRQs, it will also
handle any pending softirqs immediately, regardless of whether IRQs are
enabled at that point.

For this reason, commit

  d021985504 ("x86/fpu: Improve crypto performance by making kernel-mode FPU reliably usable in softirqs")

disables softirqs only when IRQs are enabled, as it is not permitted
otherwise, but also unnecessary, given that asynchronous softirq
delivery never happens to begin with while IRQs are disabled.

However, this does mean that entering a kernel mode FPU section with
IRQs enabled and leaving it with IRQs disabled leads to problems, as
identified by Sashiko [0]: the EFI page fault handler is called from
page_fault_oops() with IRQs disabled, and thus ends the kernel mode FPU
section with IRQs disabled as well, regardless of whether IRQs were
enabled when it was started. This may result in schedule() being called
with a non-zero preempt_count, causing a BUG().

So take care to re-enable IRQs when handling any EFI page faults if they
were taken with IRQs enabled.

088f65e206 x86/efi: Fix graceful fault handling after FPU softirq changes 
Since commit d021985504 ("x86/fpu: Improve crypto performance by
making kernel-mode FPU reliably usable in softirqs"), kernel_fpu_begin()
calls fpregs_lock() which uses local_bh_disable() instead of the
previous preempt_disable(). This sets SOFTIRQ_OFFSET in preempt_count
during the entire EFI runtime service call, causing in_interrupt() to
return true in normal task context.

The graceful page fault handler efi_crash_gracefully_on_page_fault()
uses in_interrupt() to bail out for faults in real interrupt context.
With SOFTIRQ_OFFSET now set, the handler always bails out, leaving EFI
firmware page faults unhandled. This escalates to die() which also sees
in_interrupt() as true and calls panic("Fatal exception in interrupt"),
resulting in a hard system freeze. On systems with buggy firmware that
triggers page faults during EFI runtime calls (e.g., accessing unmapped
memory in GetTime()), this causes an unrecoverable hang instead of the
expected graceful EFI_ABORTED recovery.

Fix by replacing in_interrupt() with !in_task(). This preserves the
original intent of bailing for interrupts or NMI faults, while no longer
falsely triggering from the FPU code path's local_bh_disable().

[ardb: Sashiko spotted that using 'in_hardirq() || in_nmi()' leaves a
       window where a softirq may be taken before fpregs_lock() is
       called, but after efi_rts_work.efi_rts_id has been assigned,
       and any page faults occurring in that window will then be
       misidentified as having been caused by the firmware. Instead,
       use !in_task(), which incorporates in_serving_softirq(). ]

b981e9e94c x86/platform/geode: Fix on-stack property data use-after-return bug 
The PROPERTY_ENTRY_GPIO macro (and by extension PROPERTY_ENTRY_REF)
creates a temporary software_node_ref_args structure on the stack
when used in a runtime assignment. This results in the property
pointing to data that is invalid once the function returns.

Fix this by ensuring the GPIO reference data is not stored on stack and
using PROPERTY_ENTRY_REF_ARRAY_LEN() to point directly to the persistent
reference data.

0021e71cfb x86/efi: Disable LASS while executing runtime services 
Ideally, EFI runtime services should switch to kernel virtual addresses
after SetVirtualAddressMap(). However, firmware implementations are
known to be buggy in this regard and continue to access physical
addresses. The kernel maintains a 1:1 mapping of all runtime services
code and data regions to avoid breaking such firmware.

LASS enforcement relies on bit 63 of the virtual address, which would
block such accesses to the lower half. Unfortunately, not doing anything
could lead to #GP faults when users update to a kernel with LASS
enabled.

One option is to use a STAC/CLAC pair to temporarily disable LASS data
enforcement. However, there is no guarantee that the stray accesses
would only touch data and not perform instruction fetches. Also, relying
on the AC bit would depend on the runtime calls preserving RFLAGS, which
is highly unlikely in practice.

Instead, use the big hammer and switch off the entire LASS mechanism
temporarily by clearing CR4.LASS. Runtime services are called in the
context of efi_mm, which has explicitly unmapped any memory EFI isn't
allowed to touch (including userspace). So, do this right after
switching to efi_mm to avoid any security impact.

Some runtime services can be invoked during boot when LASS isn't active.
Use a global variable (similar to efi_mm) to save and restore the
correct CR4.LASS state. The runtime calls are serialized with the
efi_runtime_lock, so no concurrency issues are expected.

a4b0bf6a40 x86/efi: defer freeing of boot services memory 
efi_free_boot_services() frees memory occupied by EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_CODE
and EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA using memblock_free_late().

There are two issue with that: memblock_free_late() should be used for
memory allocated with memblock_alloc() while the memory reserved with
memblock_reserve() should be freed with free_reserved_area().

More acutely, with CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT=y
efi_free_boot_services() is called before deferred initialization of the
memory map is complete.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt reports that this causes a leak of ~140MB of
RAM on EC2 t3a.nano instances which only have 512MB or RAM.

If the freed memory resides in the areas that memory map for them is
still uninitialized, they won't be actually freed because
memblock_free_late() calls memblock_free_pages() and the latter skips
uninitialized pages.

Using free_reserved_area() at this point is also problematic because
__free_page() accesses the buddy of the freed page and that again might
end up in uninitialized part of the memory map.

Delaying the entire efi_free_boot_services() could be problematic
because in addition to freeing boot services memory it updates
efi.memmap without any synchronization and that's undesirable late in
boot when there is concurrency.

More robust approach is to only defer freeing of the EFI boot services
memory.

Split efi_free_boot_services() in two. First efi_unmap_boot_services()
collects ranges that should be freed into an array then
efi_free_boot_services() later frees them after deferred init is complete.

bf4afc53b7 Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument 
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

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.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

69050f8d6d treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types 
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

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
"TYPE *".

db9aded979 x86/xen/pvh: Enable PAE mode for 32-bit guest only when CONFIG_X86_PAE is set 
The PVH entry is available for 32-bit KVM guests, and 32-bit KVM guests
do not depend on CONFIG_X86_PAE. However, mk_early_pgtbl_32() builds
different pagetables depending on whether CONFIG_X86_PAE is set.
Therefore, enabling PAE mode for 32-bit KVM guests without
CONFIG_X86_PAE being set would result in a boot failure during CR3

4ad03f133c x86/boot/e820: Simplify the e820__range_remove() API 
Right now e820__range_remove() has two parameters to control the
E820 type of the range removed:

	extern void e820__range_remove(u64 start, u64 size, enum e820_type old_type, bool check_type);

Since E820 types start at 1, zero has a natural meaning of 'no type.

Consolidate the (old_type,check_type) parameters into a single (filter_type)
parameter:

	extern void e820__range_remove(u64 start, u64 size, enum e820_type filter_type);

Note that both e820__mapped_raw_any() and e820__mapped_any()
already have such semantics for their 'type' parameter, although
it's currently not used with '0' by in-kernel code.

Also, the __e820__mapped_all() internal helper already has such
semantics implemented as well, and the e820__get_entry_type() API
uses the '0' type to such effect.

This simplifies not just e820__range_remove(), and synchronizes its
use of type filters with other E820 API functions, but simplifies
usage sites as well, such as parse_memmap_one(), beyond the reduction
of the number of parameters:

  -               else if (from)
  -                       e820__range_remove(start_at, mem_size, from, 1);
                  else
  -                       e820__range_remove(start_at, mem_size, 0, 0);
  +                       e820__range_remove(start_at, mem_size, from);

The generated code gets smaller as well:

	add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/5 up/down: 0/-66 (-66)

	Function                                     old     new   delta

 - The 3 patch series "kho: fixes and cleanups" from Mike Rapoport adds a
   few touchups to the recently added Kexec Handover feature.
 
 - The 10 patch series "mm: make mm->flags a bitmap and 64-bit on all

   64-bit's needs.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/swapfile.c and swap.h cleanup" from Chris Li
   cleans up some swap code.
 
 - The 7 patch series "selftests/mm: Fix false positives and skip

   architecture's memory tagging feature.  It is felt that a read-only mode
   KASAN is suitable for use in production systems rather than debug-only.
 
 - The 3 patch series "mm: hugetlb: cleanup hugetlb folio allocation"
   from Kefeng Wang does some tidying in the hugetlb folio allocation code.
 
 - The 12 patch series "mm: establish const-correctness for pointer

   split_pte_mapped_thp improvements" from David Hildenbrand adds a fix and
   some cleanups to the thp selftesting code.
 
 - The 14 patch series "mm, swap: introduce swap table as swap cache
   (phase I)" from Chris Li and Kairui Song is the first step along the
   path to implementing "swap tables" - a new approach to swap allocation
   and state tracking which is expected to yield speed and space
   improvements.  This patchset itself yields a 5-20% performance benefit
   in some situations.
 
 - The 3 patch series "Some ptdesc cleanups" from Matthew Wilcox utilizes
   the new memdesc layer to clean up the ptdesc code a little.
 
 - The 3 patch series "Fix va_high_addr_switch.sh test failure" from
   Chunyu Hu fixes some issues in our 5-level pagetable selftesting code.
 
 - The 2 patch series "Minor fixes for memory allocation profiling" from
   Suren Baghdasaryan addresses a couple of minor issues in relatively new
   memory allocation profiling feature.
 
 - The 3 patch series "Small cleanups" from Matthew Wilcox has a few
   cleanups in preparation for more memdesc work.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/damon: add addr_unit for DAMON_LRU_SORT and
   DAMON_RECLAIM" from Quanmin Yan makes some changes to DAMON in
   furtherance of supporting arm highmem.
 
 - The 2 patch series "selftests/mm: Add -Wunreachable-code and fix
   warnings" from Muhammad Anjum adds that compiler check to selftests code
   and fixes the fallout, by removing dead code.
 
 - The 10 patch series "Improvements to Victim Process Thawing and OOM
   Reaper Traversal Order" from zhongjinji makes a number of improvements
   in the OOM killer: mainly thawing a more appropriate group of victim
   threads so they can release resources.
 
 - The 5 patch series "mm/damon: misc fixups and improvements for 6.18"
   from SeongJae Park is a bunch of small and unrelated fixups for DAMON.
 
 - The 7 patch series "mm/damon: define and use DAMON initialization
   check function" from SeongJae Park implement reliability and
   maintainability improvements to a recently-added bug fix.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/damon/stat: expose auto-tuned intervals and
   non-idle ages" from SeongJae Park provides additional transparency to
   userspace clients of the DAMON_STAT information.
 
 - The 2 patch series "Expand scope of khugepaged anonymous collapse"
   from Dev Jain removes some constraints on khubepaged's collapsing of
   anon VMAs.  It also increases the success rate of MADV_COLLAPSE against
   an anon vma.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm: do not assume file == vma->vm_file in
   compat_vma_mmap_prepare()" from Lorenzo Stoakes moves us further towards
   removal of file_operations.mmap().  This patchset concentrates upon
   clearing up the treatment of stacked filesystems.
 
 - The 6 patch series "mm: Improve mlock tracking for large folios" from
   Kiryl Shutsemau provides some fixes and improvements to mlock's tracking
   of large folios.  /proc/meminfo's "Mlocked" field became more accurate.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/ksm: Fix incorrect accounting of KSM counters
   during fork" from Donet Tom fixes several user-visible KSM stats
   inaccuracies across forks and adds selftest code to verify these
   counters.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm_slot: fix the usage of mm_slot_entry" from Wei
   Yang addresses some potential but presently benign issues in KSM's
   mm_slot handling.

   the recently added Kexec Handover feature

 - "mm: make mm->flags a bitmap and 64-bit on all arches" from Lorenzo

894af4a1cd objtool: Validate kCFI calls 
Validate that all indirect calls adhere to kCFI rules. Notably doing
nocfi indirect call to a cfi function is broken.

Apparently some Rust 'core' code violates this and explodes when ran
with FineIBT.

All the ANNOTATE_NOCFI_SYM sites are prime targets for attackers.

 - runtime EFI is especially henous because it also needs to disable
   IBT. Basically calling unknown code without CFI protection at
   runtime is a massice security issue.

 - Kexec image handover; if you can exploit this, you get to keep it :-)

7f9958230d x86/mm: Fix false positive warning in switch_mm_irqs_off() 
Multiple testers reported the following new warning:

	WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at arch/x86/mm/tlb.c:795

Which corresponds to:

	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEBUG_VM) && WARN_ON_ONCE(prev != &init_mm &&
	    !cpumask_test_cpu(cpu, mm_cpumask(next))))
		cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, mm_cpumask(next));

So the problem is that unuse_temporary_mm() explicitly clears
that bit; and it has to, because otherwise the flush_tlb_mm_range() in
__text_poke() will try sending IPIs, which are not at all needed.

See also:

   https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241113095550.GBZzR3pg-RhJKPDazS@fat_crate.local/

Notably, the whole {,un}use_temporary_mm() thing requires preemption to
be disabled across it with the express purpose of keeping all TLB
nonsense CPU local, such that invalidations can also stay local etc.

However, as a side-effect, we violate this above WARN(), which sorta
makes sense for the normal case, but very much doesn't make sense here.

Change unuse_temporary_mm() to mark the mm_struct such that a further
exception (beyond init_mm) can be grafted, to keep the warning for all
the other cases.

4ce385f564 x86/mm: Fix _pgd_alloc() for Xen PV mode 
Recently _pgd_alloc() was switched from using __get_free_pages() to
pagetable_alloc_noprof(), which might return a compound page in case
the allocation order is larger than 0.

On x86 this will be the case if CONFIG_MITIGATION_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION
is set, even if PTI has been disabled at runtime.

When running as a Xen PV guest (this will always disable PTI), using
a compound page for a PGD will result in VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS being
triggered when the Xen code tries to pin the PGD.

Fix the Xen issue together with the not needed 8k allocation for a
PGD with PTI disabled by replacing PGD_ALLOCATION_ORDER with an
inline helper returning the needed order for PGD allocations.

Fixes: a9b3c355c2 ("asm-generic: pgalloc: provide generic __pgd_{alloc,free}")

42c782fae3 x86/asm: Remove semicolon from "rep" prefixes 
Minimum version of binutils required to compile the kernel is 2.25.
This version correctly handles the "rep" prefixes, so it is possible
to remove the semicolon, which was used to support ancient versions
of GNU as.

Due to the semicolon, the compiler considers "rep; insn" (or its
alternate "rep\n\tinsn" form) as two separate instructions. Removing
the semicolon makes asm length calculations more accurate, consequently
making scheduling and inlining decisions of the compiler more accurate.

Removing the semicolon also enables assembler checks involving "rep"
prefixes. Trying to assemble e.g. "rep addl %eax, %ebx" results in:

  Error: invalid instruction `add' after `rep'

9d7de2aa8b x86/percpu/64: Use relative percpu offsets 
The percpu section is currently linked at absolute address 0, because
older compilers hard-coded the stack protector canary value at a fixed
offset from the start of the GS segment.  Now that the canary is a
normal percpu variable, the percpu section does not need to be linked
at a specific address.

x86-64 will now calculate the percpu offsets as the delta between the
initial percpu address and the dynamically allocated memory, like other
architectures.  Note that GSBASE is limited to the canonical address
width (48 or 57 bits, sign-extended).  As long as the kernel text,
modules, and the dynamically allocated percpu memory are all in the
negative address space, the delta will not overflow this limit.

     logic

   - "Account page tables at all levels" from Kevin Brodsky cleans up
     and regularizes the pagetable ctor/dtor handling. This results in
     improvements in accounting accuracy

   - "mm/damon: replace most damon_callback usages in sysfs with new
     core functions" from SeongJae Park cleans up and generalizes
     DAMON's sysfs file interface logic

   - "mm/damon: enable page level properties based monitoring" from
     SeongJae Park increases the amount of information which is
     presented in response to DAMOS actions

   - "mm/damon: remove DAMON debugfs interface" from SeongJae Park
     removes DAMON's long-deprecated debugfs interfaces. Thus the
     migration to sysfs is completed

     removes a never-used feature of the alloc_pages_bulk() interface

   - "mm/damon: extend DAMOS filters for inclusion" from SeongJae Park
     extends DAMOS filters to support not only exclusion (rejecting),
     but also inclusion (allowing) behavior

   - "Add zpdesc memory descriptor for zswap.zpool" from Alex Shi
     introduces a new memory descriptor for zswap.zpool that currently
     overlaps with struct page for now. This is part of the effort to
     reduce the size of struct page and to enable dynamic allocation of
     memory descriptors

   - "mm, swap: rework of swap allocator locks" from Kairui Song redoes
     and simplifies the swap allocator locking. A speedup of 400% was
     demonstrated for one workload. As was a 35% reduction for kernel
     build time with swap-on-zram

   - "mm: update mips to use do_mmap(), make mmap_region() internal"
     from Lorenzo Stoakes reworks MIPS's use of mmap_region() so that
     mmap_region() can be made MM-internal

   - "mm/mglru: performance optimizations" from Yu Zhao fixes a few
     MGLRU regressions and otherwise improves MGLRU performance

   - "Docs/mm/damon: add tuning guide and misc updates" from SeongJae
