Multiple race conditions existed between the PCIe hotplug driver and the
EEH driver, leading to a variety of kernel oopses of the same general
nature:
<pcie device unplug>
<eeh driver trigger>
<hotplug removal trigger>
<pcie tree reconfiguration>
<eeh recovery next step>
<oops in EEH driver bus iteration loop>
A second class of oops is also seen when the underlying bus disappears
during device recovery.
Refactor the EEH module to be PCI rescan and remove safe. Also clean
up a few minor formatting / readability issues.

The PLPKS enabled PowerVM LPAR sysfs exposes all of the secure boot
secvars irrespective of the key management mode.
The PowerVM LPAR supports static and dynamic key management for secure
boot. The key management option can be updated in the management
console. The secvars PK, trustedcadb, and moduledb can be consumed both
in the static and dynamic key management modes for the loading of signed
third-party kernel modules. However, other secvars i.e. KEK, grubdb,
grubdbx, sbat, db and dbx, which are used to verify the grub and kernel
images, are consumed only in the dynamic key management mode.
Expose only PK, trustedcadb, and moduledb in the static key management
mode.

On a PLPKS enabled PowerVM LPAR, the secvar format property for static
key management is misrepresented as "ibm,plpks-sb-unknown", creating
reason for confusion.
Static key management mode uses fixed, built-in keys. Dynamic key
management mode allows keys to be updated in production to handle
security updates without firmware rebuilds.
Define a function named plpks_get_sb_keymgmt_mode() to retrieve the
key management mode based on the existence of the SB_VERSION property
in the firmware.
Set the secvar format property to either "ibm,plpks-sb-v<version>" or
"ibm,plpks-sb-v0" based on the key management mode, and return the
length of the secvar format property.

If we always align the vmemmap start to PAGE_SIZE, there is a
chance that we may end up allocating page-sized vmemmap backing
pages in RAM in the altmap not present case, because a PAGE_SIZE
aligned address is not PMD_SIZE-aligned.
In this patch, we are aligning the vmemmap start address to
PMD_SIZE if altmap is not present. This ensures that a PMD_SIZE
page is always allocated for the vmemmap mapping if altmap is
not present.
If altmap is present, Make sure we align the start vmemmap addr to
PAGE_SIZE so that we calculate the correct start_pfn in altmap
boundary check to decide whether we should use altmap or RAM based
backing memory allocation. Also the address need to be aligned for
set_pte operation. If the start addr is already PMD_SIZE aligned
and with in the altmap boundary then we will try to use a pmd size
altmap mapping else we go for page size mapping.
So if altmap is present, we try to use the maximum number of
altmap pages; otherwise, we allocate a PMD_SIZE RAM page.

IO hotplug add event is handled in the user space with drmgr tool.
After the device is enabled, the user space uses /sys/kernel/dlpar
interface with “dt add index <drc_index>” to update the device tree.
The kernel interface (dlpar_hp_dt_add()) finds the parent node for
the specified ‘drc_index’ from ibm,drc-info property. The recent FW
provides this property from 2017 onwards. But KVM guest code in
some releases is still using the older SLOF firmware which has
ibm,drc-indexes property instead of ibm,drc-info.
If the ibm,drc-info is not available, this patch adds changes to
search ‘drc_index’ from the indexes array in ibm,drc-indexes
property to support old FW.

Commit 030bdc3fd0 ("powerpc/defconfigs: Set HZ=100 on pseries and ppc64
defconfigs") lowered CONFIG_HZ from 250 to 100, citing reduced need for a
higher tick rate due to high-resolution timers and concerns about timer
interrupt overhead and cascading effects in the timer wheel.
However, improvements have been made to the timer wheel algorithm since
then, particularly in eliminating cascading effects at the cost of minor
timekeeping inaccuracies. More details are available here
https://lwn.net/Articles/646950/. This removes the original concern about
cascading, and the reliance on high-resolution timers is not applicable
to the scheduler, which still depends on periodic ticks set by CONFIG_HZ.
With the introduction of the EEVDF scheduler, users can specify custom
slices for workloads. The default base_slice is 3ms, but with CONFIG_HZ=100
(10ms tick interval), base_slice is ineffective. Workloads like stress-ng
that do not voluntarily yield the CPU run for ~10ms before switching out.
Additionally, setting a custom slice below 3ms (e.g., 2ms) should lower
task latency, but this effect is lost due to the coarse 10ms tick.
By increasing CONFIG_HZ to 1000 (1ms tick), base_slice is properly honored,
and user-defined slices work as expected. Benchmark results support this
change:
Latency improvements in schbench with EEVDF under stress-ng-induced noise:
Scheduler CONFIG_HZ Custom Slice 99th Percentile Latency (µs)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
EEVDF 1000 No 0.30x
EEVDF 1000 2 ms 0.29x
EEVDF (default) 100 No 1.00x
Switching to HZ=1000 reduces the 99th percentile latency in schbench by
~70%. This improvement occurs because, with HZ=1000, stress-ng tasks run
for ~3ms before yielding, compared to ~10ms with HZ=100. As a result,
schbench gets CPU time sooner, reducing its latency.
Daytrader Performance:
Daytrader results show minor variation within standard deviation,
indicating no significant regression.
Workload (Users/Instances) Throughput 1000HZ vs 100HZ (Std Dev%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
30 u, 1 i +3.01% (1.62%)
60 u, 1 i +1.46% (2.69%)
90 u, 1 i –1.33% (3.09%)
30 u, 2 i -1.20% (1.71%)
30 u, 3 i –0.07% (1.33%)
Avg. Response Time: No Change (=)
pgbench select queries:
Metric 1000HZ vs 100HZ (Std Dev%)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Average TPS Change +2.16% (1.27%)
Average Latency Change –2.21% (1.21%)
Average TPS: Higher the better
Average Latency: Lower the better
pgbench shows both throughput and latency improvements beyond standard
deviation.
Given these results and the improvements in timer wheel implementation,
increasing CONFIG_HZ to 1000 ensures that powerpc benefits from EEVDF’s
base_slice and allows fine-tuned scheduling for latency-sensitive
workloads.

VFIO EEH recovery for PCI passthrough devices fails on PowerNV and pseries
platforms due to missing host-side PE bridge reconfiguration. In the
current implementation, eeh_pe_configure() only performs RTAS or OPAL-based
bridge reconfiguration for native host devices, but skips it entirely for
PEs managed through VFIO in guest passthrough scenarios.
This leads to incomplete EEH recovery when a PCI error affects a
passthrough device assigned to a QEMU/KVM guest. Although VFIO triggers the
EEH recovery flow through VFIO_EEH_PE_ENABLE ioctl, the platform-specific
bridge reconfiguration step is silently bypassed. As a result, the PE's
config space is not fully restored, causing subsequent config space access
failures or EEH freeze-on-access errors inside the guest.
This patch fixes the issue by ensuring that eeh_pe_configure() always
invokes the platform's configure_bridge() callback (e.g.,
pseries_eeh_phb_configure_bridge) even for VFIO-managed PEs. This ensures
that RTAS or OPAL calls to reconfigure the PE bridge are correctly issued
on the host side, restoring the PE's configuration space after an EEH
event.
This fix is essential for reliable EEH recovery in QEMU/KVM guests using
VFIO PCI passthrough on PowerNV and pseries systems.
Tested with:
- QEMU/KVM guest using VFIO passthrough (IBM Power9,(lpar)Power11 host)
- Injected EEH errors with pseries EEH errinjct tool on host, recovery
verified on qemu guest.
- Verified successful config space access and CAP_EXP DevCtl restoration
after recovery

- Integrate conntrack information into nft trace infrastructure.
- Export set count and backend name to userspace, for better
introspection.
BPF:
- BPF qdisc support: BPF-qdisc can be implemented with BPF struct_ops
programs and can be controlled in similar way to traditional qdiscs
using the "tc qdisc" command.
- Refactor the UDP socket iterator, addressing long standing issues
WRT duplicate hits or missed sockets.
Protocols:
- Improve TCP receive buffer auto-tuning and increase the default
upper bound for the receive buffer; overall this improves the
single flow maximum thoughput on 200Gbs link by over 60%.
- Add AFS GSSAPI security class to AF_RXRPC; it provides transport
security for connections to the AFS fileserver and VL server.
- Improve TCP multipath routing, so that the sources address always
matches the nexthop device.
- Introduce SO_PASSRIGHTS for AF_UNIX, to allow disabling SCM_RIGHTS,
and thus preventing DoS caused by passing around problematic FDs.
- Retire DCCP socket. DCCP only receives updates for bugs, and major
distros disable it by default. Its removal allows for better
organisation of TCP fields to reduce the number of cache lines hit
in the fast path.
- Extend TCP drop-reason support to cover PAWS checks.
Driver API:
- Reorganize PTP ioctl flag support to require an explicit opt-in for
the drivers, avoiding the problem of drivers not rejecting new
unsupported flags.
- Converted several device drivers to timestamping APIs.
- Introduce per-PHY ethtool dump helpers, improving the support for
dump operations targeting PHYs.
Tests and tooling:
- Add support for classic netlink in user space C codegen, so that
ynl-c can now read, create and modify links, routes addresses and
qdisc layer configuration.
- Add ynl sub-types for binary attributes, allowing ynl-c to output
known struct instead of raw binary data, clarifying the classic
netlink output.
- Extend MPTCP selftests to improve the code-coverage.
- Add tests for XDP tail adjustment in AF_XDP.
New hardware / drivers:
- OpenVPN virtual driver: offload OpenVPN data channels processing to
the kernel-space, increasing the data transfer throughput WRT the
user-space implementation.
- Renesas glue driver for the gigabit ethernet RZ/V2H(P) SoC.
- Broadcom asp-v3.0 ethernet driver.

All irq_domain_add_*() functions are going away. PowerPC is the only
user of irq_domain_add_nomap() and there is no irq_domain_create_nomap()
complement.
Therefore, to align with the rest of the kernel, rename
irq_domain_add_nomap() to irq_domain_create_nomap() and accept a
fwnode_handle instead of a device_node.

irq_domain_add_*() interfaces are going away as being obsolete now.
Switch to the preferred irq_domain_create_*() ones. Those differ in the
node parameter: They take more generic struct fwnode_handle instead of
struct device_node. Therefore, of_fwnode_handle() is added around the
original parameter.
Note some of the users can likely use dev->fwnode directly instead of
indirect of_fwnode_handle(dev->of_node). But dev->fwnode is not
guaranteed to be set for all, so this has to be investigated on case to
case basis (by people who can actually test with the HW).
