LoongArch: KVM: Disable updating of "num_cpu" and "feature"
Property "num_cpu" and "feature" are read-only once eiointc is created,
which are set with KVM_DEV_LOONGARCH_EXTIOI_GRP_CTRL attr group before
device creation.
Attr group KVM_DEV_LOONGARCH_EXTIOI_GRP_SW_STATUS is to update register
and software state for migration and reset usage, property "num_cpu" and
"feature" can not be update again if it is created already.
Here discard write operation with property "num_cpu" and "feature" in
attr group KVM_DEV_LOONGARCH_EXTIOI_GRP_CTRL.

LoongArch: KVM: Check validity of "num_cpu" from user space
The maximum supported cpu number is EIOINTC_ROUTE_MAX_VCPUS about
irqchip EIOINTC, here add validation about cpu number to avoid array
pointer overflow.

LoongArch: KVM: Check interrupt route from physical CPU
With EIOINTC interrupt controller, physical CPU ID is set for irq route.
However the function kvm_get_vcpu() is used to get destination vCPU when
delivering irq. With API kvm_get_vcpu(), the logical CPU ID is used.
With API kvm_get_vcpu_by_cpuid(), vCPU ID can be searched from physical
CPU ID.

LoongArch: KVM: Fix interrupt route update with EIOINTC
With function eiointc_update_sw_coremap(), there is forced assignment
like val = *(u64 *)pvalue. Parameter pvalue may be pointer to char type
or others, there is problem with forced assignment with u64 type.
Here the detailed value is passed rather address pointer.

LoongArch: KVM: Add address alignment check for IOCSR emulation
IOCSR instruction supports 1/2/4/8 bytes access, the address should be
naturally aligned with its access size. Here address alignment check is

LoongArch: Handle KCOV __init vs inline mismatches
When the KCOV is enabled all functions get instrumented, unless the __no_sanitize_coverage attribute is used. To prepare for __no_sanitize_coverage being applied to __init functions, we have to handle differences in how GCC's inline optimizations get resolved. For LoongArch this exposed several places where __init annotations were missing but ended up being "accidentally correct". So fix these cases.

LoongArch: Reserve the EFI memory map region
The EFI memory map at 'boot_memmap' is crucial for kdump to understand the primary kernel's memory layout. This memory region, typically part of EFI Boot Services (BS) data, can be overwritten after ExitBootServices if not explicitly preserved by the kernel. This commit addresses this by: 1. Calling memblock_reserve() to reserve the entire physical region occupied by the EFI memory map (header + descriptors). This prevents the primary kernel from reallocating and corrupting this area. 2. Setting the EFI_PRESERVE_BS_REGIONS flag in efi.flags. This indicates that efforts have been made to preserve critical BS code/data regions which can be useful for other kernel subsystems or debugging. These changes ensure the original EFI memory map data remains intact, improving kdump reliability and potentially aiding other EFI-related functionalities that might rely on preserved BS code/data.

LoongArch: Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ in headers
While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__ automatically when compiling assembler code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel. This is bad since macros starting with two underscores are names that are reserved by the C language. It can also be very confusing for the developers when switching between userspace and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's now standardize on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers. This is almost a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i" statement), with one comment tweaked manually in the arch/loongarch/include/asm/cpu.h file (it was missing the trailing underscores).

mm: pgtable: fix pte_swp_exclusive
Make pte_swp_exclusive return bool instead of int. This will better reflect how pte_swp_exclusive is actually used in the code. This fixes swap/swapoff problems on Alpha due pte_swp_exclusive not returning correct values when _PAGE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE bit resides in upper 32-bits of PTE (like on alpha).

LoongArch: vDSO: Correctly use asm parameters in syscall wrappers
The syscall wrappers use the "a0" register for two different register variables, both the first argument and the return value. Here the "ret" variable is used as both input and output while the argument register is only used as input. Clang treats the conflicting input parameters as an undefined behaviour and optimizes away the argument assignment. The code seems to work by chance for the most part today but that may change in the future. Specifically clock_gettime_fallback() fails with clockids from 16 to 23, as implemented by the upcoming auxiliary clocks. Switch the "ret" register variable to a pure output, similar to the other architectures' vDSO code. This works in both clang and GCC.

- The 11 patch series "Add folio_mk_pte()" from Matthew Wilcox
simplifies the act of creating a pte which addresses the first page in a folio and reduces the amount of plumbing which architecture must implement to provide this. - The 8 patch series "Misc folio patches for 6.16" from Matthew Wilcox is a shower of largely unrelated folio infrastructure changes which clean things up and better prepare us for future work. - The 3 patch series "memory,x86,acpi: hotplug memory alignment advisement" from Gregory Price adds early-init code to prevent x86 from leaving physical memory unused when physical address regions are not aligned to memory block size. - The 2 patch series "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive compaction" from Michal Clapinski provides some tuning of the (sadly, hard-coded (more sadly, not auto-tuned)) thresholds for our invokation of proactive compaction. In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest VM's memory consumption was dramatic. - The 8 patch series "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing code" from Kemeng Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency improvement to this part of our swap handling code. - The 6 patch series "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API" from Dmitry Levin adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls arguments. At this time we can alter only "system call information that are used by strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number, syscall arguments, and syscall return value. This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM" branch, but I goofed. - The 3 patch series "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions" from Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more efficiently get at the info about guard regions. - The 2 patch series "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()" from Gavin Shan implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected because validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error. - The 3 patch series "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode() rewrite" from David Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into the current decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in favor of using more current facilities. - The 3 patch series "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64" from Anshuman Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the pte dumping code. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table Descriptors are enabled for ARM. - The 12 patch series "Always call constructor for kernel page tables" from Kevin Brodsky "ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for kernel pgtables, as it already is for user pgtables". This permits the addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks to protect page tables". This change does result in various architectures performing unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where it is anticipated to occur. - The 9 patch series "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap" from Alice Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM structures. - The 3 patch series "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges" from Lorenzo Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities which we've been missing for 15 years. - The 4 patch series "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE" from SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB flushing. Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec, we batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to load this particular operation. - The 6 patch series "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation counts" from Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node preallocation. stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit percentages and the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was dramaticelly reduced. - The 3 patch series "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He removes a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when reading the code. - The 3 patch series ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave" from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave policy in the memory management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to hit. - The 7 patch series "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups including tiered memory" from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota goal metrics which eliminate the manual tuning which is required when utilizing DAMON for memory tiering. - The 5 patch series "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which Baoquan found via code inspection. - The 2 patch series "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion" from Gregory Price "changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when possible". because "presently, reclaim explicitly ignores cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset settings to violated." "This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from certain classes of memory more consistently." - The 2 patch series ""Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove unnecessary folio pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and efficiency gains in in the huge page splitting and migrating code. - The 3 patch series "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization. - The 4 patch series "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen" from Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness=" argument for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen. This directs proactive reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios rather than file-backed folios. - The 17 patch series "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike Rapoport is the first step on the path to permitting the kernel to maintain existing VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based kexec. At this time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved. - The 7 patch series "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David Woodhouse provides and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range. By skipping ranges of invalid pfns. - The 2 patch series "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless VMA scanning when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode. Dramatic performance benefits were seen in some real world cases. - The 2 patch series "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank Garg addresses a warning which occurs during memory compaction when using JFS. - The 4 patch series "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication logic to mm" from Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c into the more appropriate mm/vma.c. - The 6 patch series "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from Kairui Song provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the folio_index() function. - The 2 patch series "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal Moola does that. - The 8 patch series "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from Waiman Long addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by the test_memcontrol selftest. - The 3 patch series "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare hook" from Lorenzo Stoakes commences the deprecation of file_operations.mmap() in favor of the new file_operations.mmap_prepare(). The latter is more restrictive and prevents drivers from messing with things in ways which, amongst other problems, may defeat VMA merging. - The 4 patch series "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from Shakeel Butt decouples the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's one. This is a step along the way to making memcg and objcg charging NMI-safe, which is a BPF requirement. - The 6 patch series "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code, tests, and documents" from SeongJae Park is "yet another batch of miscellaneous DAMON changes. Fix and improve minor problems in code, tests and documents." - The 7 patch series "memcg: make memcg stats irq safe" from Shakeel Butt converts memcg stats to be irq safe. Another step along the way to making memcg charging and stats updates NMI-safe, a BPF requirement. - The 4 patch series "Let unmap_hugepage_range() and several related functions take folio instead of page" from Fan Ni provides folio conversions in the hugetlb code. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEABYKAB0WIQTTMBEPP41GrTpTJgfdBJ7gKXxAjgUCaDt5qgAKCRDdBJ7gKXxA ju6XAP9nTiSfRz8Cz1n5LJZpFKEGzLpSihCYyR6P3o1L9oe3mwEAlZ5+XAwk2I5x Qqb/UGMEpilyre1PayQqOnct3aSL9Ao= =tYYm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'mm-stable-2025-05-31-14-50' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - "Add folio_mk_pte()" from Matthew Wilcox simplifies the act of creating a pte which addresses the first page in a folio and reduces the amount of plumbing which architecture must implement to provide this. - "Misc folio patches for 6.16" from Matthew Wilcox is a shower of largely unrelated folio infrastructure changes which clean things up and better prepare us for future work. - "memory,x86,acpi: hotplug memory alignment advisement" from Gregory Price adds early-init code to prevent x86 from leaving physical memory unused when physical address regions are not aligned to memory block size. - "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive compaction" from Michal Clapinski provides some tuning of the (sadly, hard-coded (more sadly, not auto-tuned)) thresholds for our invokation of proactive compaction.

This change does result in various architectures performing unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where it is anticipated to occur. - "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap" from Alice Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM structures. - "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges" from Lorenzo Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities which we've been missing for 15 years. - "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE" from SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB flushing. Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec, we batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to load this particular operation. - "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation counts" from Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node preallocation. stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit percentages and the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was dramaticelly reduced. - "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He removes a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when reading the code. - ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave" from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave policy in the memory management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to hit. - "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups including tiered memory" from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota goal metrics which eliminate the manual tuning which is required when utilizing DAMON for memory tiering. - "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which Baoquan found via code inspection. - "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion" from Gregory Price changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when possible. because presently, reclaim explicitly ignores cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset settings to violated. This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from certain classes of memory more consistently. - "Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove unnecessary folio pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and efficiency gains in in the huge page splitting and migrating code. - "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization. - "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen" from Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness=" argument for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen. This directs proactive reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios rather than file-backed folios. - "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike Rapoport is the first step on the path to permitting the kernel to maintain existing VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based kexec. At this time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved. - "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David Woodhouse provides and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range. By skipping ranges of invalid pfns. - "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless VMA scanning when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode. Dramatic performance benefits were seen in some real world cases. - "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank Garg addresses a warning which occurs during memory compaction when using JFS. - "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication logic to mm" from Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c into the more appropriate mm/vma.c. - "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from Kairui Song provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the folio_index() function. - "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal Moola does that. - "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from Waiman Long addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by the test_memcontrol selftest. - "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare hook" from Lorenzo Stoakes commences the deprecation of file_operations.mmap() in favor of the new file_operations.mmap_prepare(). The latter is more restrictive and prevents drivers from messing with things in ways which, amongst other problems, may defeat VMA merging. - "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from Shakeel Butt decouples the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's one. This is a step along the way to making memcg and objcg charging NMI-safe, which is a BPF requirement. - "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code, tests, and documents" from SeongJae Park is yet another batch of miscellaneous DAMON changes. Fix and improve minor problems in code, tests and documents. - "memcg: make memcg stats irq safe" from Shakeel Butt converts memcg stats to be irq safe. Another step along the way to making memcg charging and stats updates NMI-safe, a BPF requirement. - "Let unmap_hugepage_range() and several related functions take folio instead of page" from Fan Ni provides folio conversions in the hugetlb code. * tag 'mm-stable-2025-05-31-14-50' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (285 commits) mm: pcp: increase pcp->free_count threshold to trigger free_high mm/hugetlb: convert use of struct page to folio in __unmap_hugepage_range() mm/hugetlb: refactor __unmap_hugepage_range() to take folio instead of page mm/hugetlb: refactor unmap_hugepage_range() to take folio instead of page mm/hugetlb: pass folio instead of page to unmap_ref_private() memcg: objcg stock trylock without irq disabling memcg: no stock lock for cpu hot-unplug memcg: make __mod_memcg_lruvec_state re-entrant safe against irqs memcg: make count_memcg_events re-entrant safe against irqs memcg: make mod_memcg_state re-entrant safe against irqs memcg: move preempt disable to callers of memcg_rstat_updated memcg: memcg_rstat_updated re-entrant safe against irqs mm: khugepaged: decouple SHMEM and file folios' collapse selftests/eventfd: correct test name and improve messages alloc_tag: check mem_profiling_support in alloc_tag_init Docs/damon: update titles and brief introductions to explain DAMOS selftests/damon/_damon_sysfs: read tried regions directories in order mm/damon/tests/core-kunit: add a test for damos_set_filters_default_reject() mm/damon/paddr: remove unused variable, folio_list, in damon_pa_stat() mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: fix wrong comment on damons_sysfs_quota_goal_metric_strs ... |

Pull EFI updates from Ard Biesheuvel:
"Not a lot going on in the EFI tree this cycle. The only thing that
stands out is the new support for SBAT metadata, which was a bit
contentious when it was first proposed, because in the initial
incarnation, it would have required us to maintain a revocation index,
and bump it each time a vulnerability affecting UEFI secure boot got
fixed. This was shot down for obvious reasons.
This time, only the changes needed to emit the SBAT section into the
PE/COFF image are being carried upstream, and it is up to the distros
to decide what to put in there when creating and signing the build.
This only has the EFI zboot bits (which the distros will be using for
arm64); the x86 bzImage changes should be arriving next cycle,
presumably via the -tip tree.
Summary:
- Add support for emitting a .sbat section into the EFI zboot image,
so that downstreams can easily include revocation metadata in the
signed EFI images
- Align PE symbolic constant names with other projects

LoongArch: Preserve firmware configuration when desired
If we must preserve the firmware resource assignments, claim the existing resources rather than reassigning everything. According to PCI Firmware Specification: if ACPI DSM#5 function returns 0, the OS must retain the resource allocation for PCI in the firmware; if ACPI DSM#5 function returns 1, the OS can ignore the resource allocation for PCI and reallocate it.

LoongArch: Avoid using $r0/$r1 as "mask" for csrxchg
When building kernel with LLVM there are occasionally such errors:
In file included from ./include/linux/spinlock.h:59:
In file included from ./include/linux/irqflags.h:17:
arch/loongarch/include/asm/irqflags.h:38:3: error: must not be $r0 or $r1
38 | "csrxchg %[val], %[mask], %[reg]\n\t"
| ^
<inline asm>:1:16: note: instantiated into assembly here
1 | csrxchg $a1, $ra, 0
| ^
To prevent the compiler from allocating $r0 or $r1 for the "mask" of the
csrxchg instruction, the 'q' constraint must be used but Clang < 21 does
not support it. So force to use $t0 in the inline asm, in order to avoid
using $r0/$r1 while keeping the backward compatibility.

LoongArch: Increase max supported CPUs up to 2048
Increase max supported CPUs up to 2048, including:
1. Increase CSR.CPUID register's effective width;
2. Define MAX_CORE_PIC (a.k.a. max physical ID) to 2048;
3. Allow NR_CPUS (a.k.a. max logical ID) to be as large as 2048;
4. Introduce acpi_numa_x2apic_affinity_init() to handle ACPI SRAT
for CPUID >= 256.
Note: The reason of increasing to 2048 rather than 4096/8192 is because
the IPI hardware can only support 2048 as a maximum.

ARM:
* Add large stage-2 mapping (THP) support for non-protected guests when pKVM is enabled, clawing back some performance. * Enable nested virtualisation support on systems that support it, though it is disabled by default. * Add UBSAN support to the standalone EL2 object used in nVHE/hVHE and protected modes. * Large rework of the way KVM tracks architecture features and links them with the effects of control bits. While this has no functional impact, it ensures correctness of emulation (the data is automatically extracted from the published JSON files), and helps dealing with the evolution of the architecture. * Significant changes to the way pKVM tracks ownership of pages, avoiding page table walks by storing the state in the hypervisor's vmemmap. This in turn enables the THP support described above. * New selftest checking the pKVM ownership transition rules * Fixes for FEAT_MTE_ASYNC being accidentally advertised to guests even if the host didn't have it. * Fixes for the address translation emulation, which happened to be rather buggy in some specific contexts. * Fixes for the PMU emulation in NV contexts, decoupling PMCR_EL0.N from the number of counters exposed to a guest and addressing a number of issues in the process. * Add a new selftest for the SVE host state being corrupted by a guest. * Keep HCR_EL2.xMO set at all times for systems running with the kernel at EL2, ensuring that the window for interrupts is slightly bigger, and avoiding a pretty bad erratum on the AmpereOne HW. * Add workaround for AmpereOne's erratum AC04_CPU_23, which suffers from a pretty bad case of TLB corruption unless accesses to HCR_EL2 are heavily synchronised. * Add a per-VM, per-ITS debugfs entry to dump the state of the ITS tables in a human-friendly fashion. * and the usual random cleanups. LoongArch: * Don't flush tlb if the host supports hardware page table walks. * Add KVM selftests support. RISC-V: * Add vector registers to get-reg-list selftest * VCPU reset related improvements * Remove scounteren initialization from VCPU reset * Support VCPU reset from userspace using set_mpstate() ioctl x86: * Initial support for TDX in KVM. This finally makes it possible to use the TDX module to run confidential guests on Intel processors. This is quite a large series, including support for private page tables (managed by the TDX module and mirrored in KVM for efficiency), forwarding some TDVMCALLs to userspace, and handling several special VM exits from the TDX module. This has been in the works for literally years and it's not really possible to describe everything here, so I'll defer to the various merge commits up to and including commit |

- Inline syscall_exit_user_mode() which benefits all architectures by
avoiding a function call and letting the compiler do better
optimizations.

LoongArch: KVM: Do not flush tlb if HW PTW supported
With HW PTW supported, invalid TLB is not added when page fault happens. But for EXCCODE_TLBM exception, stale TLB may exist because of the last read access. Thus TLB flush operation is necessary for the EXCCODE_TLBM exception, but not necessary for other tyeps of page fault exceptions. With SW PTW supported, invalid TLB is added in the TLB refill exception. TLB flush operation is necessary for all types of page fault exceptions. Here remove unnecessary TLB flush opereation with HW PTW supported. Signed-off-by: Bibo Mao <maobibo@loongson.cn> Signed-off-by: Huacai Chen <chenhuacai@loongson.cn> |

LoongArch: uprobes: Remove redundant code about resume_era
arch_uprobe_skip_sstep() returns true if instruction was emulated, that
is to say, there is no need to single step for the emulated instructions.
regs->csr_era will point to the destination address directly after the
exception, so the resume_era related code is redundant, just remove them.

LoongArch: uprobes: Remove user_{en,dis}able_single_step()
When executing the "perf probe" and "perf stat" test cases about some
cryptographic algorithm, the output shows that "Trace/breakpoint trap".
This is because it uses the software singlestep breakpoint for uprobes
on LoongArch, and no need to use the hardware singlestep. So just remove
the related function call to user_{en,dis}able_single_step() for uprobes
on LoongArch.
How to reproduce:
Please make sure CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENTS is set and openssl supports sm2
algorithm, then execute the following command.
cd tools/perf && make
./perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so BN_mod_mul_montgomery
./perf stat -e probe_libcrypto:BN_mod_mul_montgomery openssl speed sm2

LoongArch: Save and restore CSR.CNTC for hibernation
Save and restore CSR.CNTC for hibernation which is similar to suspend. For host this is unnecessary because sched clock is ensured continuous, but for kvm guest sched clock isn't enough because rdtime.d should also be continuous. Host::rdtime.d = Host::CSR.CNTC + counter Guest::rdtime.d = Host::CSR.CNTC + Host::CSR.GCNTC + Guest::CSR.CNTC + counter so, Guest::rdtime.d = Host::rdtime.d + Host::CSR.GCNTC + Guest::CSR.CNTC To ensure Guest::rdtime.d continuous, Host::rdtime.d should be at first continuous, while Host::CSR.GCNTC / Guest::CSR.CNTC is maintained by KVM.

LoongArch: Move __arch_cpu_idle() to .cpuidle.text section
Now arch_cpu_idle() is annotated with __cpuidle which means it is in
the .cpuidle.text section, but __arch_cpu_idle() isn't. Thus, fix the
missing .cpuidle.text section assignment for __arch_cpu_idle() in order
to correct backtracing with nmi_backtrace().
The principle is similar to the commit

LoongArch: Prevent cond_resched() occurring within kernel-fpu
When CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT is not configured (i.e. CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE/
CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY), preempt_disable() / preempt_enable() merely
acts as a barrier(). However, in these cases cond_resched() can still
trigger a context switch and modify the CSR.EUEN, resulting in do_fpu()
exception being activated within the kernel-fpu critical sections, as
demonstrated in the following path:
dcn32_calculate_wm_and_dlg()
DC_FP_START()
dcn32_calculate_wm_and_dlg_fpu()
dcn32_find_dummy_latency_index_for_fw_based_mclk_switch()

dcn32_enable_phantom_stream()
dc_create_stream_for_sink()

crypto: testmgr - replace CRYPTO_MANAGER_DISABLE_TESTS with CRYPTO_SELFTESTS
The negative-sense of CRYPTO_MANAGER_DISABLE_TESTS is a longstanding mistake that regularly causes confusion. Especially bad is that you can have CRYPTO=n && CRYPTO_MANAGER_DISABLE_TESTS=n, which is ambiguous. Replace CRYPTO_MANAGER_DISABLE_TESTS with CRYPTO_SELFTESTS which has the expected behavior. The tests continue to be disabled by default. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> |

mm: pass mm down to pagetable_{pte,pmd}_ctor
Patch series "Always call constructor for kernel page tables", v2.
There has been much confusion around exactly when page table
constructors/destructors (pagetable_*_[cd]tor) are supposed to be called.
They were initially introduced for user PTEs only (to support split page
table locks), then at the PMD level for the same purpose. Accounting was
added later on, starting at the PTE level and then moving to higher levels
(PMD, PUD). Finally, with my earlier series "Account page tables at all
levels" [1], the ctor/dtor is run for all levels, all the way to PGD.
I thought this was the end of the story, and it hopefully is for user
pgtables, but I was wrong for what concerns kernel pgtables. The current
situation there makes very little sense:
* At the PTE level, the ctor/dtor is not called (at least in the generic
implementation). Specific helpers are used for kernel pgtables at this
level (pte_{alloc,free}_kernel()) and those have never called the
ctor/dtor, most likely because they were initially irrelevant in the
kernel case.
* At all other levels, the ctor/dtor is normally called. This is
potentially wasteful at the PMD level (more on that later).
This series aims to ensure that the ctor/dtor is always called for kernel
pgtables, as it already is for user pgtables. Besides consistency, the
main motivation is to guarantee that ctor/dtor hooks are systematically
called; this makes it possible to insert hooks to protect page tables [2],
for instance. There is however an extra challenge: split locks are not
used for kernel pgtables, and it would therefore be wasteful to initialise
them (ptlock_init()).
It is worth clarifying exactly when split locks are used. They clearly
are for user pgtables, but as illustrated in commit
