Merge tag 'memblock-6.19-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rppt/memblock
Pull memblock update from Mike Rapoport:
"Introduce a 'check_pages' boot parameter to decouple simple checks for
page state on allocation and free from CONFIG_DEBUG_VM.
This allows enabling page checking without building kernel with
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM or forcing init_on_{alloc, free} or other heavier
mechanisms"

increases the flexibility of KEXEC Handover. Also preparation for LUO
- "Live Update Orchestrator" (Pasha Tatashin)
is a major new feature targeted at cloud environments. Quoting the
cover letter:
This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel
subsystem designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a
kexec-based reboot. This capability is critical for cloud
environments, allowing hypervisors to be updated with minimal
downtime for running virtual machines. LUO achieves this by
preserving the state of selected resources, such as memory,
devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition.
As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving
memfd file descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such
as guest RAM or any other large memory region, to be maintained in
RAM across the kexec reboot.
Mike Rappaport merits a mention here, for his extensive review and
testing work.

mm/mm_init: Introduce a boot parameter for check_pages
Use-after-free and double-free bugs can be very difficult to track down.
The kernel is good at tracking these and preventing bad pages from being
used/created through simple checks gated behind "check_pages_enabled".
Currently, the only ways to enable this flag is by building with
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, or as a side effect of other checks such as
init_on_{alloc, free}, page_poisoning, or debug_pagealloc among others.
These solutions are powerful, but may often be too coarse in balancing
the performance vs. safety that a user may want, particularly in
latency-sensitive production environments.
Introduce a new boot parameter "check_pages", which enables page checking
with no other side effects. It takes kstrbool-able inputs as an argument
(i.e. 0/1, true/false, on/off, ...). This patch is backwards-compatible;
setting CONFIG_DEBUG_VM still enables page checking.

Merge tag 'docs-6.19' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"This has been another busy cycle for documentation, with a lot of
build-system thrashing. That work should slow down from here on out.
- The various scripts and tools for documentation were spread out in
several directories; now they are (almost) all coalesced under
tools/docs/. The holdout is the kernel-doc script, which cannot be
easily moved without some further thought.
- As the amount of Python code increases, we are accumulating modules
that are imported by multiple programs. These modules have been
pulled together under tools/lib/python/ -- at least, for
documentation-related programs. There is other Python code in the
tree that might eventually want to move toward this organization.
- The Perl kernel-doc.pl script has been removed. It is no longer
used by default, and nobody has missed it, least of all anybody who
actually had to look at it.
- The docs build was controlled by a complex mess of makefilese that
few dared to touch. Mauro has moved that logic into a new program
(tools/docs/sphinx-build-wrapper) that, with any luck at all, will
be far easier to understand and maintain.
- The get_feat.pl program, used to access information under
Documentation/features/, has been rewritten in Python, bringing an
end to the use of Perl in the docs subsystem.
- The top-level README file has been reorganized into a more
reader-friendly presentation.
- A lot of Chinese translation additions
- Typo fixes and documentation updates as usual"

Merge tag 'pm-6.19-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm
Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"There are quite a few interesting things here, including new hardware
support, new features, some bug fixes and documentation updates. In
addition, there are a usual bunch of minor fixes and cleanups all
over.
In the new hardware support category, there are intel_pstate and
intel_rapl driver updates to support new processors, Panther Lake,
Wildcat Lake, Noval Lake, and Diamond Rapids in the OOB mode, OPP and
bandwidth allocation support in the tegra186 cpufreq driver, and
JH7110S SOC support in dt-platdev cpufreq.
The new features are the PM QoS CPU latency limit for suspend-to-idle,
the netlink support for the energy model management, support for
terminating system suspend via a wakeup event during the sync of file
systems, configurable number of hibernation compression threads, the
runtime PM auto-cleanup macros, and the "poweroff" PM event that is
expected to be used during system shutdown.
Bugs are mostly fixed in cpuidle governors, but there are also fixes
elsewhere, like in the amd-pstate cpufreq driver.
Documentation updates include, but are not limited to, a new doc on
debugging shutdown hangs, cross-referencing fixes and cleanups in the
intel_pstate documentation, and updates of comments in the core
hibernation code.
Specifics:

debugfs: Remove broken no-mount mode
debugfs access modes were added in Linux 5.10 (Dec 2020) [1], but the no-mount mode has behaved effectively the same as the off mode since Linux 5.12 (Apr 2021) [2]. The only difference is the specific error code returned by the debugfs_create_* functions, which is -ENOENT in no-mount mode and -EPERM in off mode. Given that no-mount hasn't worked for several years with no complaints, just remove it. [1] |

powerpc/64s/slb: Add no_slb_preload early cmdline param
no_slb_preload cmdline can come useful in quickly disabling and/or testing the performance impact of userspace slb preloads. Recently there was a slb multi-hit issue due to slb preload cache which was very difficult to triage. This cmdline option allows to quickly disable preloads and verify if the issue exists in preload cache or somewhere else. This can also be a useful option to see the effect of slb preloads for any application workload e.g. number of slb faults with or w/o slb preloads. with slb_preload: slb_faults (minimal initrd boot): 15 slb_faults (full systemd boot): 300 with no_slb_preload: slb_faults (minimal initrd boot): 33 slb_faults (full systemd boot): 138180 Signed-off-by: Ritesh Harjani (IBM) <ritesh.list@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Madhavan Srinivasan <maddy@linux.ibm.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/de484b55c45d831bc2db63945f455153c89a9a65.1761834163.git.ritesh.list@gmail.com |

hung_task: panic when there are more than N hung tasks at the same time
The hung_task_panic sysctl is currently a blunt instrument: it's all or nothing. Panicking on a single hung task can be an overreaction to a transient glitch. A more reliable indicator of a systemic problem is when multiple tasks hang simultaneously. Extend hung_task_panic to accept an integer threshold, allowing the kernel to panic only when N hung tasks are detected in a single scan. This provides finer control to distinguish between isolated incidents and system-wide failures. The accepted values are: - 0: Don't panic (unchanged) - 1: Panic on the first hung task (unchanged) - N > 1: Panic after N hung tasks are detected in a single scan The original behavior is preserved for values 0 and 1, maintaining full backward compatibility.

PM: hibernate: make compression threads configurable
The number of compression/decompression threads has a direct impact on
hibernate image generation and resume latency. Using more threads can
reduce overall resume time, but on systems with fewer CPU cores it may
also introduce contention and reduce efficiency.
Performance was evaluated on an 8-core ARM system, averaged over 10 runs:
Threads Hibernate(s) Resume(s)
--------------------------------
3 12.14 18.86
4 12.28 17.48
5 11.09 16.77
6 11.08 16.44
With 5–6 threads, resume latency improves by approximately 12% compared
to the default 3-thread configuration, with negligible impact on
hibernate time.
Introduce a new kernel parameter `hibernate_compression_threads=` that
allows users and integrators to tune the number of
compression/decompression threads at boot. This provides a way to
balance performance and CPU utilization across a wide range of hardware
without recompiling the kernel.

Pull x86 kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"Generic:
- Rework almost all of KVM's exports to expose symbols only to KVM's
x86 vendor modules (kvm-{amd,intel}.ko and PPC's kvm-{pr,hv}.ko
x86:
- Rework almost all of KVM x86's exports to expose symbols only to
KVM's vendor modules, i.e. to kvm-{amd,intel}.ko
- Add support for virtualizing Control-flow Enforcement Technology
(CET) on Intel (Shadow Stacks and Indirect Branch Tracking) and AMD
(Shadow Stacks).
It is worth noting that while SHSTK and IBT can be enabled
separately in CPUID, it is not really possible to virtualize them
separately. Therefore, Intel processors will really allow both
SHSTK and IBT under the hood if either is made visible in the
guest's CPUID. The alternative would be to intercept
XSAVES/XRSTORS, which is not feasible for performance reasons
- Fix a variety of fuzzing WARNs all caused by checking L1 intercepts
when completing userspace I/O. KVM has already committed to
allowing L2 to to perform I/O at that point
- Emulate PERF_CNTR_GLOBAL_STATUS_SET for PerfMonV2 guests, as the
MSR is supposed to exist for v2 PMUs
- Allow Centaur CPU leaves (base 0xC000_0000) for Zhaoxin CPUs
- Add support for the immediate forms of RDMSR and WRMSRNS, sans full
emulator support (KVM should never need to emulate the MSRs outside
of forced emulation and other contrived testing scenarios)
- Clean up the MSR APIs in preparation for CET and FRED
virtualization, as well as mediated vPMU support
- Clean up a pile of PMU code in anticipation of adding support for
mediated vPMUs
- Reject in-kernel IOAPIC/PIT for TDX VMs, as KVM can't obtain EOI
vmexits needed to faithfully emulate an I/O APIC for such guests
- Many cleanups and minor fixes
- Recover possible NX huge pages within the TDP MMU under read lock
to reduce guest jitter when restoring NX huge pages
- Return -EAGAIN during prefault if userspace concurrently
deletes/moves the relevant memslot, to fix an issue where
prefaulting could deadlock with the memslot update
x86 (AMD):
- Enable AVIC by default for Zen4+ if x2AVIC (and other prereqs) is
supported
- Require a minimum GHCB version of 2 when starting SEV-SNP guests
via KVM_SEV_INIT2 so that invalid GHCB versions result in immediate
errors instead of latent guest failures
- Add support for SEV-SNP's CipherText Hiding, an opt-in feature that
prevents unauthorized CPU accesses from reading the ciphertext of
SNP guest private memory, e.g. to attempt an offline attack. This
feature splits the shared SEV-ES/SEV-SNP ASID space into separate
ranges for SEV-ES and SEV-SNP guests, therefore a new module
parameter is needed to control the number of ASIDs that can be used
for VMs with CipherText Hiding vs. how many can be used to run
SEV-ES guests
- Add support for Secure TSC for SEV-SNP guests, which prevents the
untrusted host from tampering with the guest's TSC frequency, while
still allowing the the VMM to configure the guest's TSC frequency
prior to launch
- Validate the XCR0 provided by the guest (via the GHCB) to avoid
bugs resulting from bogus XCR0 values
- Save an SEV guest's policy if and only if LAUNCH_START fully
succeeds to avoid leaving behind stale state (thankfully not
consumed in KVM)
- Explicitly reject non-positive effective lengths during SNP's
LAUNCH_UPDATE instead of subtly relying on guest_memfd to deal with
them
- Reload the pre-VMRUN TSC_AUX on #VMEXIT for SEV-ES guests, not the
host's desired TSC_AUX, to fix a bug where KVM was keeping a
different vCPU's TSC_AUX in the host MSR until return to userspace
KVM (Intel):
- Preparation for FRED support
- Don't retry in TDX's anti-zero-step mitigation if the target
memslot is invalid, i.e. is being deleted or moved, to fix a
deadlock scenario similar to the aforementioned prefaulting case
- Misc bugfixes and minor cleanups"

Pull irq core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of updates for the interrupt core subsystem:
- Introduce irq_chip_[startup|shutdown]_parent() to prepare for
addressing a few short comings in the PCI/MSI interrupt subsystem.
It allows to utilize the interrupt chip startup/shutdown callbacks
for initializing the interrupt chip hierarchy properly on certain
RISCV implementations and provides a mechanism to reduce the
overhead of masking and unmasking PCI/MSI interrupts during
operation when the underlying MSI provider can mask the interrupt.
The actual usage comes with the interrupt driver pull request.
- Add generic error handling for devm_request_*_irq()
This allows to remove the zoo of random error printk's all over the
usage sites.
- Add a mechanism to warn about long-running interrupt handlers
Long running interrupt handlers can introduce latencies and
tracking them down is a tedious task. The tracking has to be
enabled with a threshold on the kernel command line and utilizes a
static branch to remove the overhead when disabled.
- Update and extend the selftests which validate the CPU hotplug
interrupt migration logic
- Allow dropping the per CPU softirq lock on PREEMPT_RT kernels,
which causes contention and latencies all over the place.
The serialization requirements have been pushed down into the

Add new module parameter to the KVM module to enable CipherText Hiding and control the number of ASIDs that can be used for VMs with CipherText Hiding, which is in effect the number of SNP VMs. When CipherText Hiding is enabled, the shared SEV-ES/SEV-SNP ASID space is split into separate ranges for SEV-ES and SEV-SNP guests, i.e. ASIDs that can be used for CipherText Hiding cannot be used to run SEV-ES guests. |

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"There's good stuff across the board, including some nice mm
improvements for CPUs with the 'noabort' BBML2 feature and a clever
patch to allow ptdump to play nicely with block mappings in the
vmalloc area.
Confidential computing:
- Add support for accepting secrets from firmware (e.g. ACPI CCEL)
and mapping them with appropriate attributes.
CPU features:
- Advertise atomic floating-point instructions to userspace
- Extend Spectre workarounds to cover additional Arm CPU variants
- Extend list of CPUs that support break-before-make level 2 and
guarantee not to generate TLB conflict aborts for changes of
mapping granularity (BBML2_NOABORT)
- Add GCS support to our uprobes implementation.
Documentation:
- Remove bogus SME documentation concerning register state when
entering/exiting streaming mode.
Entry code:
- Switch over to the generic IRQ entry code (GENERIC_IRQ_ENTRY)
- Micro-optimise syscall entry path with a compiler branch hint.
Memory management:
- Enable huge mappings in vmalloc space even when kernel page-table
dumping is enabled
- Tidy up the types used in our early MMU setup code
- Rework rodata= for closer parity with the behaviour on x86
- For CPUs implementing BBML2_NOABORT, utilise block mappings in the
linear map even when rodata= applies to virtual aliases
- Don't re-allocate the virtual region between '_text' and '_stext',
as doing so confused tools parsing /proc/vmcore.
Miscellaneous:
- Clean-up Kconfig menuconfig text for architecture features
- Avoid redundant bitmap_empty() during determination of supported
SME vector lengths
- Re-enable warnings when building the 32-bit vDSO object
- Avoid breaking our eggs at the wrong end.
Perf and PMUs:
- Support for v3 of the Hisilicon L3C PMU
- Support for Hisilicon's MN and NoC PMUs
- Support for Fujitsu's Uncore PMU
- Support for SPE's extended event filtering feature
- Preparatory work to enable data source filtering in SPE
- Support for multiple lanes in the DWC PCIe PMU
- Support for i.MX94 in the IMX DDR PMU driver
- MAINTAINERS update (Thank you, Yicong)
- Minor driver fixes (PERF_IDX2OFF() overflow, CMN register offsets).
Selftests:
- Add basic LSFE check to the existing hwcaps test
- Support nolibc in GCS tests
- Extend SVE ptrace test to pass unsupported regsets and invalid
vector lengths
- Minor cleanups (typos, cosmetic changes).
System registers:
- Fix ID_PFR1_EL1 definition
- Fix incorrect signedness of some fields in ID_AA64MMFR4_EL1
- Sync TCR_EL1 definition with the latest Arm ARM (L.b)
- Be stricter about the input fed into our AWK sysreg generator
script
- Typo fixes and removal of redundant definitions.
ACPI, EFI and PSCI:
- Decouple Arm's "Software Delegated Exception Interface" (SDEI)
support from the ACPI GHES code so that it can be used by platforms
booted with device-tree
- Remove unnecessary per-CPU tracking of the FPSIMD state across EFI
runtime calls
- Fix a node refcount imbalance in the PSCI device-tree code.
CPU Features:
- Ensure register sanitisation is applied to fields in ID_AA64MMFR4
- Expose AIDR_EL1 to userspace via sysfs, primarily so that KVM
guests can reliably query the underlying CPU types from the VMM
- Re-enabling of SME support (CONFIG_ARM64_SME) as a result of fixes
to our context-switching, signal handling and ptrace code"

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.
Features:
- Add "initramfs_options" parameter to set initramfs mount options.
This allows to add specific mount options to the rootfs to e.g.,
limit the memory size
- Add RWF_NOSIGNAL flag for pwritev2()
Add RWF_NOSIGNAL flag for pwritev2. This flag prevents the SIGPIPE
signal from being raised when writing on disconnected pipes or
sockets. The flag is handled directly by the pipe filesystem and
converted to the existing MSG_NOSIGNAL flag for sockets
- Allow to pass pid namespace as procfs mount option
Ever since the introduction of pid namespaces, procfs has had very
implicit behaviour surrounding them (the pidns used by a procfs
mount is auto-selected based on the mounting process's active
pidns, and the pidns itself is basically hidden once the mount has
been constructed)
This implicit behaviour has historically meant that userspace was
required to do some special dances in order to configure the pidns
of a procfs mount as desired. Examples include:
* In order to bypass the mnt_too_revealing() check, Kubernetes
creates a procfs mount from an empty pidns so that user
namespaced containers can be nested (without this, the nested
containers would fail to mount procfs)
But this requires forking off a helper process because you cannot
just one-shot this using mount(2)
* Container runtimes in general need to fork into a container
before configuring its mounts, which can lead to security issues
in the case of shared-pidns containers (a privileged process in
the pidns can interact with your container runtime process)
While SUID_DUMP_DISABLE and user namespaces make this less of an
issue, the strict need for this due to a minor uAPI wart is kind
of unfortunate
Things would be much easier if there was a way for userspace to
just specify the pidns they want. So this pull request contains
changes to implement a new "pidns" argument which can be set
using fsconfig(2):
fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "pidns", NULL, nsfd);
fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "pidns", "/proc/self/ns/pid", 0);
or classic mount(2) / mount(8):
// mount -t proc -o pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid proc /tmp/proc
mount("proc", "/tmp/proc", "proc", MS_..., "pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid");
Cleanups:
- Remove the last references to EXPORT_OP_ASYNC_LOCK
- Make file_remove_privs_flags() static
- Remove redundant __GFP_NOWARN when GFP_NOWAIT is used
- Use try_cmpxchg() in start_dir_add()
- Use try_cmpxchg() in sb_init_done_wq()
- Replace offsetof() with struct_size() in ioctl_file_dedupe_range()
- Remove vfs_ioctl() export
- Replace rwlock() with spinlock in epoll code as rwlock causes
priority inversion on preempt rt kernels
- Make ns_entries in fs/proc/namespaces const
- Use a switch() statement() in init_special_inode() just like we do
in may_open()
- Use struct_size() in dir_add() in the initramfs code
- Use str_plural() in rd_load_image()
- Replace strcpy() with strscpy() in find_link()
- Rename generic_delete_inode() to inode_just_drop() and
generic_drop_inode() to inode_generic_drop()
- Remove unused arguments from fcntl_{g,s}et_rw_hint()
Fixes:
- Document @name parameter for name_contains_dotdot() helper
- Fix spelling mistake
- Always return zero from replace_fd() instead of the file descriptor
number
- Limit the size for copy_file_range() in compat mode to prevent a
signed overflow
- Fix debugfs mount options not being applied
- Verify the inode mode when loading it from disk in minixfs
- Verify the inode mode when loading it from disk in cramfs
- Don't trigger automounts with RESOLVE_NO_XDEV
If openat2() was called with RESOLVE_NO_XDEV it didn't traverse
through automounts, but could still trigger them
- Add FL_RECLAIM flag to show_fl_flags() macro so it appears in
tracepoints
- Fix unused variable warning in rd_load_image() on s390

arm64: mm: Rework the 'rodata=' options
As per admin guide documentation, "rodata=on" should be the default on
platforms. Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt describes
these options as
rodata= [KNL,EARLY]
on Mark read-only kernel memory as read-only (default).
off Leave read-only kernel memory writable for debugging.
full Mark read-only kernel memory and aliases as read-only
[arm64]
But on arm64 platform, RODATA_FULL_DEFAULT_ENABLED is enabled by default,
so "rodata=full" is the default instead.
For parity with other architectures, namely x86, rework 'rodata=on' to
match the current "full" behaviour and replace 'rodata=full' with a new
'rodata=noalias' option which retains writable aliases in the direct map
for memory regions outside of the kernel image.

KVM: SEV: Add SEV-SNP CipherTextHiding support
Ciphertext hiding prevents host accesses from reading the ciphertext of SNP guest private memory. Instead of reading ciphertext, the host reads will see constant default values (0xff). The SEV ASID space is split into SEV and SEV-ES/SEV-SNP ASID ranges. Enabling ciphertext hiding further splits the SEV-ES/SEV-SNP ASID space into separate ASID ranges for SEV-ES and SEV-SNP guests. Add a new off-by-default kvm-amd module parameter to enable ciphertext hiding and allow the admin to configure the SEV-ES and SEV-SNP ASID ranges. Simply cap the maximum SEV-SNP ASID as appropriate, i.e. don't reject loading KVM or disable ciphertest hiding for a too-big value, as KVM's general approach for module params is to sanitize inputs based on hardware/kernel support, not burn the world down. This also allows the admin to use -1u to assign all SEV-ES/SNP ASIDs to SNP without needing dedicated handling in KVM.

fs: Add 'initramfs_options' to set initramfs mount options
When CONFIG_TMPFS is enabled, the initial root filesystem is a tmpfs. By default, a tmpfs mount is limited to using 50% of the available RAM for its content. This can be problematic in memory-constrained environments, particularly during a kdump capture. In a kdump scenario, the capture kernel boots with a limited amount of memory specified by the 'crashkernel' parameter. If the initramfs is large, it may fail to unpack into the tmpfs rootfs due to insufficient space. This is because to get X MB of usable space in tmpfs, 2*X MB of memory must be available for the mount. This leads to an OOM failure during the early boot process, preventing a successful crash dump. This patch introduces a new kernel command-line parameter, initramfs_options, which allows passing specific mount options directly to the rootfs when it is first mounted. This gives users control over the rootfs behavior. For example, a user can now specify initramfs_options=size=75% to allow the tmpfs to use up to 75% of the available memory. This can significantly reduce the memory pressure for kdump. Consider a practical example: To unpack a 48MB initramfs, the tmpfs needs 48MB of usable space. With the default 50% limit, this requires a memory pool of 96MB to be available for the tmpfs mount. The total memory requirement is therefore approximately: 16MB (vmlinuz) + 48MB (loaded initramfs) + 48MB (unpacked kernel) + 96MB (for tmpfs) + 12MB (runtime overhead) ≈ 220MB. By using initramfs_options=size=75%, the memory pool required for the 48MB tmpfs is reduced to 48MB / 0.75 = 64MB. This reduces the total memory requirement by 32MB (96MB - 64MB), allowing the kdump to succeed with a smaller crashkernel size, such as 192MB. An alternative approach of reusing the existing rootflags parameter was considered. However, a new, dedicated initramfs_options parameter was chosen to avoid altering the current behavior of rootflags (which applies to the final root filesystem) and to prevent any potential regressions. Also add documentation for the new kernel parameter "initramfs_options" This approach is inspired by prior discussions and patches on the topic.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Core scheduler changes:
- Better tracking of maximum lag of tasks in presence of different
slices duration, for better handling of lag in the fair scheduler
(Vincent Guittot)
- Clean up and standardize #if/#else/#endif markers throughout the
entire scheduler code base (Ingo Molnar)
- Make SMP unconditional: build the SMP scheduler's data structures
and logic on UP kernel too, even though they are not used, to
simplify the scheduler and remove around 200 #ifdef/[#else]/#endif
blocks from the scheduler (Ingo Molnar)
- Reorganize cgroup bandwidth control interface handling for better
interfacing with sched_ext (Tejun Heo)
Balancing:
- Bump sd->max_newidle_lb_cost when newidle balance fails (Chris
Mason)
- Remove sched_domain_topology_level::flags to simplify the code
(Prateek Nayak)
- Simplify and clean up build_sched_topology() (Li Chen)
- Optimize build_sched_topology() on large machines (Li Chen)
Real-time scheduling:
- Add initial version of proxy execution: a mechanism for
mutex-owning tasks to inherit the scheduling context of higher
priority waiters.
Currently limited to a single runqueue and conditional on
CONFIG_EXPERT, and other limitations (John Stultz, Peter Zijlstra,
Valentin Schneider)
- Deadline scheduler (Juri Lelli):
- Fix dl_servers initialization order (Juri Lelli)
- Fix DL scheduler's root domain reinitialization logic (Juri
Lelli)
- Fix accounting bugs after global limits change (Juri Lelli)
- Fix scalability regression by implementing less agressive
dl_server handling (Peter Zijlstra)
PSI:
- Improve scalability by optimizing psi_group_change() cpu_clock()
usage (Peter Zijlstra)
Rust changes:
- Make Task, CondVar and PollCondVar methods inline to avoid
unnecessary function calls (Kunwu Chan, Panagiotis Foliadis)
- Add might_sleep() support for Rust code: Rust's "#[track_caller]"
mechanism is used so that Rust's might_sleep() doesn't need to be
defined as a macro (Fujita Tomonori)
- Introduce file_from_location() (Boqun Feng)
Debugging & instrumentation:
- Make clangd usable with scheduler source code files again (Peter
Zijlstra)
- tools: Add root_domains_dump.py which dumps root domains info (Juri
Lelli)
- tools: Add dl_bw_dump.py for printing bandwidth accounting info
(Juri Lelli)
Misc cleanups & fixes:
- Remove play_idle() (Feng Lee)
- Fix check_preemption_disabled() (Sebastian Andrzej Siewior)
- Do not call __put_task_struct() on RT if pi_blocked_on is set (Luis
Claudio R. Goncalves)
- Correct the comment in place_entity() (wang wei)"

Pull x86 CPU mitigation updates from Borislav Petkov: - Untangle the Retbleed from the ITS mitigation on Intel. Allow for ITS to enable stuffing independently from Retbleed, do some cleanups to simplify and streamline the code - Simplify SRSO and make mitigation types selection more versatile depending on the Retbleed mitigation selection. Simplify code some - Add the second part of the attack vector controls which provide a lot friendlier user interface to the speculation mitigations than selecting each one by one as it is now. Instead, the selection of whole attack vectors which are relevant to the system in use can be done and protection against only those vectors is enabled, thus giving back some performance to the users * tag 'x86_bugs_for_v6.17_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (31 commits) x86/bugs: Print enabled attack vectors x86/bugs: Add attack vector controls for TSA x86/pti: Add attack vector controls for PTI x86/bugs: Add attack vector controls for ITS x86/bugs: Add attack vector controls for SRSO x86/bugs: Add attack vector controls for L1TF x86/bugs: Add attack vector controls for spectre_v2 x86/bugs: Add attack vector controls for BHI x86/bugs: Add attack vector controls for spectre_v2_user x86/bugs: Add attack vector controls for retbleed x86/bugs: Add attack vector controls for spectre_v1 x86/bugs: Add attack vector controls for GDS x86/bugs: Add attack vector controls for SRBDS x86/bugs: Add attack vector controls for RFDS x86/bugs: Add attack vector controls for MMIO x86/bugs: Add attack vector controls for TAA x86/bugs: Add attack vector controls for MDS x86/bugs: Define attack vectors relevant for each bug x86/Kconfig: Add arch attack vector support cpu: Define attack vectors ... |
