Since commit
f2ba877402 ("arm64: mm: Map the kernel data/bss read-only in the linear map")
the linear alias of the .data and .bss regions is remapped read-only
early during the boot. (Note that a subsequent patch to unmap this
region entirely was reverted just before the v7.2 merge window, and will
be brought back in an improved form for the v7.3 cycle)
Fuad reports that in some cases, the KVM init code may apply relocations
to variables that reside in .data, and does so via the linear map. This
means that remapping .data read-only beforehand is a bad idea, and
results in an early boot crash.
These variables in .data are only present when CONFIG_NVHE_EL2_DEBUG or
CONFIG_NVHE_EL2_TRACING are enabled, which is why it was not spotted in
testing.
So move the remap to mark_rodata_ro(), which is a reasonable place to
put this, and ensures that it happens much later during the boot. It
also means that rodata=off is now taken into account, and so the linear
alias will remain writable in that case.

hw_breakpoint_arch_parse() positions the BAS bit pattern in
hw->ctrl.len with
offset = hw->address & alignment_mask; /* 0..7 */
hw->ctrl.len <<= offset;
ctrl.len is an 8-bit bitfield (struct arch_hw_breakpoint_ctrl::len is
u32 :8), so the shift silently drops any bits past bit 7. For
non-compat AArch64 watchpoints the offset is unbounded relative to
ctrl.len: a perf_event_open(PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT) caller asking for
HW_BREAKPOINT_W with bp_addr=page+1 and bp_len=HW_BREAKPOINT_LEN_8
ends up with 0xff << 1 = 0x1fe, stored as 0xfe. The kernel programs
WCR.BAS=0xfe and the hardware watches bytes [1..7] instead of the
requested [1..8] -- the eighth byte is silently dropped. The
syscall still returns success, leaving userspace to discover the
gap by empirical probing.
The same class affects HW_BREAKPOINT_LEN_{2,4} when offset pushes the
high BAS bit past bit 7 (e.g. LEN_4 with offset=5 yields 0xe0
instead of 0x1e0). No memory-safety impact -- the value is masked
into 8 bits before encoding -- but debuggers and perf users observe
missed events on bytes they thought they were watching.
The AArch32 branch immediately above already rejects unrepresentable
(offset, len) combinations via an explicit switch. Mirror that for
the non-compat branch by checking that the shifted pattern fits in
the BAS field, returning -EINVAL when it does not.
GDB and similar debuggers are unaffected by the stricter check.
aarch64_linux_set_debug_regs() already treats EINVAL on
NT_ARM_HW_WATCH as a downgrade signal: it clears
kernel_supports_any_contiguous_range, calls aarch64_downgrade_regs()
to round the BAS up to a legacy 0x01/03/0f/ff mask with an aligned
base, and retries -- the same fallback path that PR-20207 introduced.
The new -EINVAL is therefore reachable only from a raw
perf_event_open() that pairs an unaligned base with an oversized
bp_len, which is precisely the bug.
Reproducer:
struct perf_event_attr a = {
.type = PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT, .size = sizeof(a),
.bp_type = HW_BREAKPOINT_W,
.bp_addr = (uintptr_t)(buf + 1),
.bp_len = HW_BREAKPOINT_LEN_8,
.exclude_kernel = 1, .exclude_hv = 1,
};
int fd = perf_event_open(&a, 0, -1, -1, 0);
/* before this fix: succeeds, watches 7 bytes (buf+1..buf+7) */
/* after this fix: fails with EINVAL */

NVIDIA Olympus cores are affected by the TLBI completion issue tracked as
CVE-2025-10263. The existing ARM64_ERRATUM_4118414 handling already uses
ARM64_WORKAROUND_REPEAT_TLBI to issue an additional broadcast TLBI;DSB
sequence and ensure affected memory write effects are globally observed.
Add MIDR_NVIDIA_OLYMPUS to the repeat-TLBI match list so the same

A number of CPUs developed by Arm suffer from errata whereby a broadcast
TLBI;DSB sequence may complete before the global observation of writes
which are translated by an affected TLB entry.
These errata ONLY affect the completion of memory accesses which have
been translated by an invalidated TLB entry, and these errata DO NOT
affect the actual invalidation of TLB entries. TLB entries are removed
correctly.
This issue has been assigned CVE ID CVE-2025-10263.
To mitigate this issue, Arm recommends that software follows any
affected TLBI;DSB sequence with an additional TLBI;DSB, which will
ensure that all memory write effects affected by the first TLBI have
been globally observed. The additional TLBI can use any operation that
is broadcast to affected CPUs, and the additional DSB can use any option
that is sufficient to complete the additional TLBI.
The ARM64_WORKAROUND_REPEAT_TLBI workaround is sufficient to mitigate
the issue. Enable this workaround for affected CPUs, and update the
silicon errata documentation accordingly.
Note that due to the manner in which Arm develops IP and tracks errata,
some CPUs share a common erratum number.

the same ECV-aware ALTERNATIVE block that arch_timer_read_cntpct_el0()
and arch_timer_read_cntvct_el0() already provide in the same header.
The two pairs are byte-for-byte identical except for the trailing
arch_counter_enforce_ordering() the __arch_counter_get_* variants add.
Replace the duplicated inline assembly in __arch_counter_get_cntpct()
and __arch_counter_get_cntvct() with calls to the corresponding helpers.
This mirrors commit 00b39d1509 ("arm64: vdso: Use
__arch_counter_get_cntvct()"), which removed similar duplication from
the vDSO, and keeps the system-counter read sequence in a single place,
reducing assembly code in the kernell
No functional change: the resulting inline assembly, alternatives, and
clobbers are unchanged; only the source-level expression of the read
moves into the existing helper.
Verified by rebuilding the consumers of these helpers before and after
the change and comparing the resulting disassembly:
- arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vdso.so (final linked vDSO):
bit-identical (same sha256 across rebuilds)
- arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vgettimeofday.o: identical disassembly
- arch/arm64/lib/delay.o: identical disassembly
- drivers/clocksource/arm_arch_timer.o: same 50 functions with
byte-identical instruction streams; only difference is function
ordering inside .text and NOP padding, with no opcodes added or
removed.

and be a maintenance burden.
* For historical reasons, the assembly macros take some register
arguments as numerical indices (e.g. "sme_save_za 0, x2, 12" uses x0, x1, and

Currently sve_flush_live() is written in out-of-line assembly. It would
be nice if we could move it inline such that control flow can be written
more clearly in C, and to permit the removal of otherwise unused
assembly macros.
The 'flush_ffr' argument is redundant as sve_flush_live() is always
called from non-streaming mode, and all callers pass 'true'. Remove the
argument and make it a requirement that the function is called from
non-streaming mode.
The 'vq_minus_1' argument is unnecessary, as sve_flush_live() can read
the live VL directly using the RDVL instruction (wrapped by the
sve_get_vl() helper function).
Move the function to C, with the simplifications above.

Improve this by adding an opaque 'struct arm64_sme_state', and

As the SVE state size can vary at runtime, we don't have a concrete type
for the in-memory SVE state, and pass this around using a pointer to
void. The functions which save/restore the SVE state have a very unusual
calling convention, expecting a pointer to the FFR *in the middle of*
the in-memory SVE state, which is also passed as a pointer to void.
Passing a pointer to the FFR also requires that callers find the live VL
and perform some arithmetic, which callers implement differently.
Using pointer to void means that it's very easy to introduce errors that
cannot be caught by the compiler (e.g. as 'void **' can be assigned to
'void *'). In general this is unnecessarily confusing and fragile.
Improve this by adding an opaque 'struct arm64_sve_state', and
consistently passing a pointer to this, performing the necessary
offsetting *within* the save/restore functions.
For the moment, the offsetting is performed in a new '_sve_pffr'
assembly macro, using the ADDVL and ADDPL instructions. These add a
multiple of the live vector length and predicate length respectively.
The ADDVL immediate range cannot encode 32, so this is split into two
increments of 16.

explicit instrumentation is added in the same manner as other assembly
routines. This instrumentation is implicitly disabled by Kbuild for nVHE
hyp code.
I've used the SVE sequence for restoring FPCR, which uses an
unconditional write to FPCR, rather than the conditional write used by
the FPSIMD assembly sequence. I believe that in practice, this doesn't
matter to a real workload, and given it's possible for the mis-predicted
branch to cost more than the necessary micro-architectural
synchronization, I strongly suspect any performance impact is within the
noise.
Looking at the history, the FPSIMD assembly sequence was changed to use
a conditional write to FPCR since 2014 in commit:
5959e25729 ("arm64: fpsimd: avoid restoring fpcr if the contents haven't change")
... as described in the commit message, this was based on an expectation
of implementation style, and was not based on benchmarking.

Regardless of whether the vector registers are saved in FPSIMD or SVE
format, we store FPSR and FPCR in user_fpsimd_state::{fpsr,fpcr}.
For historical reasons, the functions which save/restore SVE context
take a pointer to user_fpsimd_state::fpsr, and use this to access both
user_fpsimd_state::fpsr and user_fpsimd_state::fpcr. This is
unnecessarily fragile.
Move the save/restore of FPSR and FPCR into separate helper functions
which take a pointer to user_fpsimd_state. I've used read_sysreg_s() and
write_sysreg_s() as contemporary versions of LLVM will refuse to
directly assemble accesses to FPCR or FPSR unless the "fp" arch
extension is enabled.
For the moment, fpsimd_save_state() and fpsimd_load_state() are left
as-is with their own logic to save/restore FPSR and FPCR. This will be
unified in subsequent patches.

Add sysreg definitions for FPCR and FPSR.
Some versions of LLVM will refuse to assemble accesses to FPCR and FPSR
unless the "fp" arch extension is enabled, which we don't currently do
for read_sysreg() and write_sysreg(). In general, handling feature
dependencies would complicate read_sysreg() and write_sysreg(), and it's
simpler to use read_sysreg_s() and write_sysreg_s() instead, requiring
sysreg definitions.

The sve_get_vl() and sme_get_vl() functions are wrappers for the RDVL
and RDSVL instructions respectively. There's no need for those to be
out-of-line.
Replace the out-of-line assembly functions with equivalent inline
functions.
The _sve_rdvl assembly macro is unused, and so it is removed. The
_sme_rdsvl assembly macro is still used elsewhere, and so is kept for

We currently support assemblers which do not support SME instructions,
and have macros to manually encode SME instructions. This was
necessary historically as SME support was developed before assembler
support was widely available, but things have changed:
* All currently supported versions of LLVM support baseline SME
instructions. Building the kernel requires LLVM 15+, while LLVM 13+
supports SME.
* GNU binutils has supported baseline SME instructions since 2.38, which
was released on 09 February 2022. Toolchains using this or later are
widely available. For example Debian 12 (released on 10 June 2023)
provides binutils 2.40. Toolchains provided kernel.org provide
binutils 2.38+ since the GCC 12.1.0 release (released between 06 May
2022 and 17 August 2022).
* For various reasons, SME support was marked as BROKEN, and re-enabled
in v6.16 (released on 27 July 2025). The earliest support LTS kernel
with SME support is v6.18.y, v6.18 was tagged on 30 November 2025, and
contemporary toolchains (GCC 15.2 and binutils 2.45) supported
baseline SME instructions.
* Any distribution which intends to support SME will presumably have a
toolchain that supports baseline SME instructions such that userspace
can be built.
Considering the above, there's no practical benefit to allowing SME to
be built when the toolchain doesn't support baseline SME instructions.
Make CONFIG_ARM64_SME depend on assembler support for SME, and remove
the manual encoding of SME instructions. The various _sme_<insn> macros
are kept for now, and will be cleaned up in subsequent patches.
A couple of SME2 instructions require a more recent toolchain, and are
left as-is for now. I've looked through releases of binutils and LLVM to
find when support was added, and noted this in a comment.

Historically we supported assemblers which could not assemble SVE
instructions. We dropped support for such assemblers in commit:
118c40b7b5 ("kbuild: require gcc-8 and binutils-2.30")
Since that commit, all supported assemblers (binutils and LLVM) are
capable of assembling SVE instructions, and there's no need for us to
manually encode SVE instructions.
Rely on the assembler to encode SVE instructions, and remove the manual
encoding. The various _sve_<insn> macros are kept for now, and will be

The sve_set_vq() and sme_set_vq() assembly functions (and the
sve_load_vq and sme_load_vq macros they use) are open-coded forms of
sysreg_clear_set*(). There's no need for these to be implemented
out-of-line in assembly, and the 'vq_minus_1' argument is unusual and
confusing.
Use sysreg_clear_set_s() directly, where the necessary 'vq - 1' encoding
is more obviously part of encoding the register value.
For now, sve_flush_live() is left with the unusual vq_minus_1 argument.

For historical reasons, do_sve_acc() is structurally different from
do_sme_acc(), and the logic to convert the task from FPSIMD to SVE is
out-of-line in sve_init_regs(). We only use sve_init_regs() within
do_sve_acc(), so it's not necessary for this to be a separate function.
Fold sve_init_regs() into do_sve_acc(), and simplify the associated
comments. This makes do_sve_acc() structurally similar to do_sme_acc(),
making it easier to see similarities and differences.

There's no need for struct cpu_sve_state. Code would be simpler and more
robust without it, and removing it will simplify further cleanups (e.g.
adding an opaque type for the sve register state).
Protected KVM stores most of the host's system register state in
kvm_host_data::host_ctxt, which is an instance of struct
kvm_cpu_context. As kvm_cpu_context::sys_regs[] has a slot for ZCR_EL1,
we can store the host's ZCR_EL1 there.
While kvm_cpu_context::sys_regs doesn't have slots for FPSR and FPCR,
these are usually expected to be stored in struct user_fpsimd_state.
For historical reasons, __sve_save_state and __sve_restore_state()
expect a pointer to fpsr *within* struct user_fpsimd_state, assuming the
fpcr will immediately follow, as per the order within struct
user_fpsimd_state. We currently match this ordering in struct
cpu_sve_state, but it would be simpler and more robust to use struct
user_fpsimd_state directly.
After moving ZCR_EL1, FPSR, and FPCR out of struct cpu_sve_state, all
that's left is sve_regs, which can be represented as a pointer without
need for a container struct. This is kept as a pointer to u8 (matching
the array type), as this permits the compiler to catch unbalanced
referencing/dereferencing, which is not possible for pointers to void.
Apply the above changes, and remove cpu_sve_state.
I've dropped the comment regarding buffer alignment as AFAICT this was
never necessary. The LDR/STR (vector) instructions only require this
alignment when SCTLR_ELx.A==1, which is not the case for the kernel or
hyp code. Nothing else depends on the alignment.

The __sve_save_state() and __sve_restore_state() functions take a
parameter describing whether to save/restore the FFR, but both functions
silently override this with '1'. This has always been benign (and
callers have all passed 'true' since the parameter was introduced), but
clearly this is not intentional.
Historically, the functions always saved/restored the FFR, and there was
no parameter to control this.
In v5.16, the sve_save and sve_load assembly macros used by
__sve_save_state() and __sve_restore_state() were changed to make
saving/restoring FFR optional. The implementations of __sve_save_state()
and __sve_restore_state() were changed to pass '1' to their respective
macros, and the prototypes of __sve_save_state() and
__sve_restore_state() were unchanged. See commit:
9f58486657 ("arm64/sve: Make access to FFR optional")
In v6.10, the prototypes of __sve_save_state() and __sve_restore_state()
were changed to add 'save_ffr' and 'restore_ffr' parameters
respectively, but the implementations were not changed to stop passing 1
to their respective macros. All callers were changed to pass 'true' to
__sve_save_state() and __sve_restore_state(). See commit:
45f4ea9bcf ("KVM: arm64: Fix prototype for __sve_save_state/__sve_restore_state")
This is all benign, but clearly unintentional, and it gets in the way of
cleaning up the FPSIMD/SVE/SME code. Remove the unnecessary overriding.
The 'save_ffr' and 'restore_ffr' parameters are 32-bit ints, and per the
AAPCS64 parameter passing rules, the upper 32 bits of the register
holding these arguments might contain arbitrary values. Thus it is
necessary to pass 'w2' rather than 'x2' to the sve_load and save_save
macros, such that the upper 32 bits are ignored when deciding whether to
save/restore the FFR.

The sme_save_state() and sme_load_state() functions take a 32-bit int
argument that describes whether to save/restore ZT0. Their assembly
implementations consume the entire 64-bit register containing this
32-bit value, and will attempt to save/restore ZT0 if any bit of
that 64-bit register is non-zero.
Per the AAPCS64 parameter passing rules, the callee is responsible for
any necessary widening, and the upper 32-bits are permitted to contain
arbitrary values. If the upper 32 bits are non-zero, this could result
in an unexpected attempt to save/restore ZT0, and consequently could

In practice compilers are very unlikely to generate code where the upper

Fix this by only consuming the low 32 bits of the register, and update

When TTBRx.CNP=1, TLB entries may be incorrectly shared between CPU
