printk: Provide threadprintk boot argument
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2060704 For PREEMPT_RT, legacy console printing is performed in a dedicated kthread. However, this behavior can also be interesting for other preemption models as it minimizes the duration of printk() calls by deferring all printing. Provide a new boot argument "threadprintk" that will create the dedicated kthread for legacy console printing for !PREEMPT_RT systems. The implementation is the same as "threadirqs" boot argument. Users should be aware that if this option is enabled, the shutdown, reboot, and panic messages probably will not be visible on the legacy consoles. Non-legacy consoles (NBCON) already have their own dedicated kernel threads for printing and reliable shutdown, reboot, and panic printing. This option really only applies to legacy consoles. Users can view /proc/consoles to see if their console driver is legacy or not. NBCON console drivers are shown with 'N'.

PCI: Extend ACS configurability
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2100340 PCIe ACS settings control the level of isolation and the possible P2P paths between devices. With greater isolation the kernel will create smaller iommu_groups and with less isolation there is more HW that can achieve P2P transfers. From a virtualization perspective all devices in the same iommu_group must be assigned to the same VM as they lack security isolation. There is no way for the kernel to automatically know the correct ACS settings for any given system and workload. Existing command line options (e.g., disable_acs_redir) allow only for large scale change, disabling all isolation, but this is not sufficient for more complex cases. Add a kernel command-line option 'config_acs' to directly control all the ACS bits for specific devices, which allows the operator to setup the right level of isolation to achieve the desired P2P configuration. The definition is future proof; when new ACS bits are added to the spec the open syntax can be extended. ACS needs to be setup early in the kernel boot as the ACS settings affect how iommu_groups are formed. iommu_group formation is a one time event during initial device discovery, so changing ACS bits after kernel boot can result in an inaccurate view of the iommu_groups compared to the current isolation configuration. ACS applies to PCIe Downstream Ports and multi-function devices. The default ACS settings are strict and deny any direct traffic between two functions. This results in the smallest iommu_group the HW can support. Frequently these values result in slow or non-working P2PDMA. ACS offers a range of security choices controlling how traffic is allowed to go directly between two devices. Some popular choices: - Full prevention - Translated requests can be direct, with various options - Asymmetric direct traffic, A can reach B but not the reverse - All traffic can be direct Along with some other less common ones for special topologies. The intention is that this option would be used with expert knowledge of the HW capability and workload to achieve the desired configuration.

zram: permit only one post-processing operation at a time
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2101915 [ Upstream commit 58652f2b6d21f2874c9f060165ec7e03e8b1fc71 ] Both recompress and writeback soon will unlock slots during processing, which makes things too complex wrt possible race-conditions. We still want to clear PP_SLOT in slot_free, because this is how we figure out that slot that was selected for post-processing has been released under us and when we start post-processing we check if slot still has PP_SLOT set. At the same time, theoretically, we can have something like this: CPU0 CPU1 recompress scan slots set PP_SLOT unlock slot slot_free clear PP_SLOT allocate PP_SLOT writeback scan slots set PP_SLOT unlock slot select PP-slot test PP_SLOT So recompress will not detect that slot has been re-used and re-selected for concurrent writeback post-processing. Make sure that we only permit on post-processing operation at a time. So now recompress and writeback post-processing don't race against each other, we only need to handle slot re-use (slot_free and write), which is handled individually by each pp operation. Having recompress and writeback competing for the same slots is not exactly good anyway (can't imagine anyone doing that).

mm/memcontrol: respect zswap.writeback setting from parent cg too
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2085849
[ Upstream commit e399257349098bf7c84343f99efb2bc9c22eb9fd ]
Currently, the behavior of zswap.writeback wrt. the cgroup hierarchy
seems a bit odd. Unlike zswap.max, it doesn't honor the value from parent
cgroups. This surfaced when people tried to globally disable zswap
writeback, i.e. reserve physical swap space only for hibernation [1] -
disabling zswap.writeback only for the root cgroup results in subcgroups
with zswap.writeback=1 still performing writeback.
The inconsistency became more noticeable after I introduced the
MemoryZSwapWriteback= systemd unit setting [2] for controlling the knob.
The patch assumed that the kernel would enforce the value of parent
cgroups. It could probably be workarounded from systemd's side, by going
up the slice unit tree and inheriting the value. Yet I think it's more
sensible to make it behave consistently with zswap.max and friends.

cgroup/cpuset: Delay setting of CS_CPU_EXCLUSIVE until valid partition
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2085849 [ Upstream commit fe8cd2736e75c8ca3aed1ef181a834e41dc5310f ] The CS_CPU_EXCLUSIVE flag is currently set whenever cpuset.cpus.exclusive is set to make sure that the exclusivity test will be run to ensure its exclusiveness. At the same time, this flag can be changed whenever the partition root state is changed. For example, the CS_CPU_EXCLUSIVE flag will be reset whenever a partition root becomes invalid. This makes using CS_CPU_EXCLUSIVE to ensure exclusiveness a bit fragile. The current scheme also makes setting up a cpuset.cpus.exclusive hierarchy to enable remote partition harder as cpuset.cpus.exclusive cannot overlap with any cpuset.cpus of sibling cpusets if their cpuset.cpus.exclusive aren't set. Solve these issues by deferring the setting of CS_CPU_EXCLUSIVE flag until the cpuset become a valid partition root while adding new checks in validate_change() to ensure that cpuset.cpus.exclusive of sibling cpusets cannot overlap. An additional check is also added to validate_change() to make sure that cpuset.cpus of one cpuset cannot be a subset of cpuset.cpus.exclusive of a sibling cpuset to avoid the problem that none of those CPUs will be available when these exclusive CPUs are extracted out to a newly enabled partition root. The Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v2.rst file is updated to document the new constraints.

clocksource: Scale the watchdog read retries automatically
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2083656 [ Upstream commit 2ed08e4bc53298db3f87b528cd804cb0cce066a9 ] On a 8-socket server the TSC is wrongly marked as 'unstable' and disabled during boot time on about one out of 120 boot attempts: clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU227: wd-tsc-wd excessive read-back delay of 153560ns vs. limit of 125000ns, wd-wd read-back delay only 11440ns, attempt 3, marking tsc unstable tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to clocksource watchdog TSC found unstable after boot, most likely due to broken BIOS.

The cCurrent code already has logic to detect and filter such high latency case by reading the watchdog twice and checking the two deltas. Due to the randomness of the latency, there is a low probabilty that the first delta (latency) is big, but the second delta is small and looks valid. The watchdog code retries the readouts by default twice, which is not necessarily sufficient for systems with a large number of CPUs. There is a command line parameter 'max_cswd_read_retries' which allows to increase the number of retries, but that's not user friendly as it needs to be tweaked per system. As the number of required retries is proportional to the number of online CPUs, this parameter can be calculated at runtime. Scale and enlarge the number of retries according to the number of online CPUs and remove the command line parameter completely.

mm: fix khugepaged activation policy
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2083488
[ Upstream commit 00f58104202c472e487f0866fbd38832523fd4f9 ]
Since the introduction of mTHP, the docuementation has stated that
khugepaged would be enabled when any mTHP size is enabled, and disabled
when all mTHP sizes are disabled. There are 2 problems with this; 1.
this is not what was implemented by the code and 2. this is not the
desirable behavior.
Desirable behavior is for khugepaged to be enabled when any PMD-sized THP
is enabled, anon or file. (Note that file THP is still controlled by the
top-level control so we must always consider that, as well as the PMD-size
mTHP control for anon). khugepaged only supports collapsing to PMD-sized
THP so there is no value in enabling it when PMD-sized THP is disabled.
So let's change the code and documentation to reflect this policy.
Further, per-size enabled control modification events were not previously
forwarded to khugepaged to give it an opportunity to start or stop.
Consequently the following was resulting in khugepaged eroneously not
being activated:
echo never > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
echo always > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-2048kB/enabled

sched/core: Drop spinlocks on contention iff kernel is preemptible
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2083196
[ Upstream commit c793a62823d1ce8f70d9cfc7803e3ea436277cda ]
Use preempt_model_preemptible() to detect a preemptible kernel when
deciding whether or not to reschedule in order to drop a contended
spinlock or rwlock. Because PREEMPT_DYNAMIC selects PREEMPTION, kernels
built with PREEMPT_DYNAMIC=y will yield contended locks even if the live
preemption model is "none" or "voluntary". In short, make kernels with
dynamically selected models behave the same as kernels with statically
selected models.
Somewhat counter-intuitively, NOT yielding a lock can provide better
latency for the relevant tasks/processes. E.g. KVM x86's mmu_lock, a
rwlock, is often contended between an invalidation event (takes mmu_lock
for write) and a vCPU servicing a guest page fault (takes mmu_lock for
read). For _some_ setups, letting the invalidation task complete even
if there is mmu_lock contention provides lower latency for *all* tasks,
i.e. the invalidation completes sooner *and* the vCPU services the guest
page fault sooner.
But even KVM's mmu_lock behavior isn't uniform, e.g. the "best" behavior
can vary depending on the host VMM, the guest workload, the number of
vCPUs, the number of pCPUs in the host, why there is lock contention, etc.
In other words, simply deleting the CONFIG_PREEMPTION guard (or doing the
opposite and removing contention yielding entirely) needs to come with a
big pile of data proving that changing the status quo is a net positive.
Opportunistically document this side effect of preempt=full, as yielding
contended spinlocks can have significant, user-visible impact.

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2060909 commit 95a6ccbdc7199a14b71ad8901cb788ba7fb5167b upstream. BHI mitigation mode spectre_bhi=auto does not deploy the software mitigation by default. In a cloud environment, it is a likely scenario where userspace is trusted but the guests are not trusted. Deploying system wide mitigation in such cases is not desirable. Update the auto mode to unconditionally mitigate against malicious guests. Deploy the software sequence at VMexit in auto mode also, when hardware mitigation is not available. Unlike the force =on mode, software sequence is not deployed at syscalls in auto mode.

Branch history clearing software sequences and hardware control BHI_DIS_S were defined to mitigate Branch History Injection (BHI). Add cmdline spectre_bhi={on|off|auto} to control BHI mitigation: auto - Deploy the hardware mitigation BHI_DIS_S, if available. on - Deploy the hardware mitigation BHI_DIS_S, if available, otherwise deploy the software sequence at syscall entry and VMexit. off - Turn off BHI mitigation. The default is auto mode which does not deploy the software sequence mitigation. This is because of the hardening done in the syscall dispatch path, which is the likely target of BHI.

x86/rfds: Mitigate Register File Data Sampling (RFDS)
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2058224 commit 8076fcde016c9c0e0660543e67bff86cb48a7c9c upstream. RFDS is a CPU vulnerability that may allow userspace to infer kernel stale data previously used in floating point registers, vector registers and integer registers. RFDS only affects certain Intel Atom processors. Intel released a microcode update that uses VERW instruction to clear the affected CPU buffers. Unlike MDS, none of the affected cores support SMT. Add RFDS bug infrastructure and enable the VERW based mitigation by default, that clears the affected buffers just before exiting to userspace. Also add sysfs reporting and cmdline parameter "reg_file_data_sampling" to control the mitigation.

UBUNTU: SAUCE: x86/quirks: Add parameter to clear MSIs early on boot
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1797990 We observed a kdump failure in x86 that was narrowed down to MSI irq storm coming from a PCI network device. The bug manifests as a lack of progress in the boot process of kdump kernel, and a flood of kernel messages like: [...] [ 342.265294] do_IRQ: 0.155 No irq handler for vector [ 342.266916] do_IRQ: 0.155 No irq handler for vector [ 347.258422] do_IRQ: 14053260 callbacks suppressed [...] The root cause of the issue is that kexec process of the kdump kernel doesn't ensure PCI devices are reset or MSI capabilities are disabled, so a PCI adapter could produce a huge amount of irqs which would steal all the processing time for the CPU (specially since we usually restrict kdump kernel to use a single CPU only). This patch implements the kernel parameter "pci=clearmsi" to clear the MSI/MSI-X enable bits in the Message Control register for all PCI devices during early boot time, thus preventing potential issues in the kexec'ed kernel. PCI spec also supports/enforces this need (see PCI Local Bus spec sections 6.8.1.3 and 6.8.2.3).

Makefile") removes the config SLAB and makes the SLUB allocator the only
default allocator in the kernel. Hence, the advice on reducing OS jitter
due to kworker kernel threads to build with CONFIG_SLUB instead of
CONFIG_SLAB is obsolete.
Remove the obsolete advice to build with SLUB instead of SLAB.

"Generic:
- Use memdup_array_user() to harden against overflow.
- Unconditionally advertise KVM_CAP_DEVICE_CTRL for all
architectures.
- Clean up Kconfigs that all KVM architectures were selecting
- New functionality around "guest_memfd", a new userspace API that
creates an anonymous file and returns a file descriptor that refers
to it. guest_memfd files are bound to their owning virtual machine,
cannot be mapped, read, or written by userspace, and cannot be
resized. guest_memfd files do however support PUNCH_HOLE, which can
be used to switch a memory area between guest_memfd and regular
anonymous memory.
- New ioctl KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES allowing userspace to specify
per-page attributes for a given page of guest memory; right now the
only attribute is whether the guest expects to access memory via
guest_memfd or not, which in Confidential SVMs backed by SEV-SNP,
TDX or ARM64 pKVM is checked by firmware or hypervisor that
guarantees confidentiality (AMD PSP, Intel TDX module, or EL2 in
the case of pKVM).
x86:
- Support for "software-protected VMs" that can use the new
guest_memfd and page attributes infrastructure. This is mostly
useful for testing, since there is no pKVM-like infrastructure to
provide a meaningfully reduced TCB.
- Fix a relatively benign off-by-one error when splitting huge pages
during CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG.
- Fix a bug where KVM could incorrectly test-and-clear dirty bits in
non-leaf TDP MMU SPTEs if a racing thread replaces a huge SPTE with
a non-huge SPTE.
- Use more generic lockdep assertions in paths that don't actually
care about whether the caller is a reader or a writer.
- let Xen guests opt out of having PV clock reported as "based on a
stable TSC", because some of them don't expect the "TSC stable" bit
(added to the pvclock ABI by KVM, but never set by Xen) to be set.
- Revert a bogus, made-up nested SVM consistency check for
TLB_CONTROL.
- Advertise flush-by-ASID support for nSVM unconditionally, as KVM
always flushes on nested transitions, i.e. always satisfies flush
requests. This allows running bleeding edge versions of VMware
Workstation on top of KVM.
- Sanity check that the CPU supports flush-by-ASID when enabling SEV
support.
- On AMD machines with vNMI, always rely on hardware instead of
intercepting IRET in some cases to detect unmasking of NMIs
- Support for virtualizing Linear Address Masking (LAM)
- Fix a variety of vPMU bugs where KVM fail to stop/reset counters
and other state prior to refreshing the vPMU model.
- Fix a double-overflow PMU bug by tracking emulated counter events
using a dedicated field instead of snapshotting the "previous"
counter. If the hardware PMC count triggers overflow that is
recognized in the same VM-Exit that KVM manually bumps an event
count, KVM would pend PMIs for both the hardware-triggered overflow
and for KVM-triggered overflow.
- Turn off KVM_WERROR by default for all configs so that it's not
inadvertantly enabled by non-KVM developers, which can be
problematic for subsystems that require no regressions for W=1
builds.
- Advertise all of the host-supported CPUID bits that enumerate
IA32_SPEC_CTRL "features".
- Don't force a masterclock update when a vCPU synchronizes to the
current TSC generation, as updating the masterclock can cause
kvmclock's time to "jump" unexpectedly, e.g. when userspace
hotplugs a pre-created vCPU.
- Use RIP-relative address to read kvm_rebooting in the VM-Enter
fault paths, partly as a super minor optimization, but mostly to
make KVM play nice with position independent executable builds.
- Guard KVM-on-HyperV's range-based TLB flush hooks with an #ifdef on
CONFIG_HYPERV as a minor optimization, and to self-document the
code.
- Add CONFIG_KVM_HYPERV to allow disabling KVM support for HyperV
"emulation" at build time.
ARM64:
- LPA2 support, adding 52bit IPA/PA capability for 4kB and 16kB base
granule sizes. Branch shared with the arm64 tree.
- Large Fine-Grained Trap rework, bringing some sanity to the
feature, although there is more to come. This comes with a prefix
branch shared with the arm64 tree.
- Some additional Nested Virtualization groundwork, mostly
introducing the NV2 VNCR support and retargetting the NV support to
that version of the architecture.
- A small set of vgic fixes and associated cleanups.
Loongarch:
- Optimization for memslot hugepage checking
- Cleanup and fix some HW/SW timer issues
- Add LSX/LASX (128bit/256bit SIMD) support
RISC-V:
- KVM_GET_REG_LIST improvement for vector registers
- Generate ISA extension reg_list using macros in get-reg-list
selftest
- Support for reporting steal time along with selftest
s390:
- Bugfixes
Selftests:
- Fix an annoying goof where the NX hugepage test prints out garbage
instead of the magic token needed to run the test.
- Fix build errors when a header is delete/moved due to a missing
flag in the Makefile.
- Detect if KVM bugged/killed a selftest's VM and print out a helpful
message instead of complaining that a random ioctl() failed.
- Annotate the guest printf/assert helpers with __printf(), and fix
the various bugs that were lurking due to lack of said annotation"

Pull documentation update from Jonathan Corbet:
"Another moderately busy cycle for documentation, including:
- The minimum Sphinx requirement has been raised to 2.4.4, following
a warning that was added in 6.2
- Some reworking of the Documentation/process front page to,
hopefully, make it more useful
- Various kernel-doc tweaks to, for example, make it deal properly
with __counted_by annotations
- We have also restored a warning for documentation of nonexistent
structure members that disappeared a while back. That had the
delightful consequence of adding some 600 warnings to the docs
build. A sustained effort by Randy, Vegard, and myself has
addressed almost all of those, bringing the documentation back into
sync with the code. The fixes are going through the appropriate
maintainer trees
- Various improvements to the HTML rendered docs, including automatic
links to Git revisions and a nice new pulldown to make translations
easy to access
- Speaking of translations, more of those for Spanish and Chinese
... plus the usual stream of documentation updates and typo fixes"

Merge tag 'net-next-6.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"The most interesting thing is probably the networking structs
reorganization and a significant amount of changes is around
self-tests.
Core & protocols:
- Analyze and reorganize core networking structs (socks, netdev,
netns, mibs) to optimize cacheline consumption and set up build
time warnings to safeguard against future header changes
This improves TCP performances with many concurrent connections up
to 40%
- Add page-pool netlink-based introspection, exposing the memory
usage and recycling stats. This helps indentify bad PP users and
possible leaks
- Refine TCP/DCCP source port selection to no longer favor even
source port at connect() time when IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE is set. This
lowers the time taken by connect() for hosts having many active
connections to the same destination
- Refactor the TCP bind conflict code, shrinking related socket
structs
- Refactor TCP SYN-Cookie handling, as a preparation step to allow
arbitrary SYN-Cookie processing via eBPF
- Tune optmem_max for 0-copy usage, increasing the default value to
128KB and namespecifying it
- Allow coalescing for cloned skbs coming from page pools, improving
RX performances with some common configurations
- Reduce extension header parsing overhead at GRO time
- Add bridge MDB bulk deletion support, allowing user-space to
request the deletion of matching entries
- Reorder nftables struct members, to keep data accessed by the
datapath first
- Introduce TC block ports tracking and use. This allows supporting
multicast-like behavior at the TC layer
- Remove UAPI support for retired TC qdiscs (dsmark, CBQ and ATM) and
classifiers (RSVP and tcindex)
- More data-race annotations
- Extend the diag interface to dump TCP bound-only sockets
- Conditional notification of events for TC qdisc class and actions
- Support for WPAN dynamic associations with nearby devices, to form
a sub-network using a specific PAN ID
- Implement SMCv2.1 virtual ISM device support
- Add support for Batman-avd mulicast packet type
BPF:
- Tons of verifier improvements:
- BPF register bounds logic and range support along with a large
test suite
- log improvements
- complete precision tracking support for register spills
- track aligned STACK_ZERO cases as imprecise spilled registers.
This improves the verifier "instructions processed" metric from
single digit to 50-60% for some programs
- support for user's global BPF subprogram arguments with few
commonly requested annotations for a better developer
experience
- support tracking of BPF_JNE which helps cases when the compiler
transforms (unsigned) "a > 0" into "if a == 0 goto xxx" and the
like
- several fixes
- Add initial TX metadata implementation for AF_XDP with support in
mlx5 and stmmac drivers. Two types of offloads are supported right
now, that is, TX timestamp and TX checksum offload
- Fix kCFI bugs in BPF all forms of indirect calls from BPF into
kernel and from kernel into BPF work with CFI enabled. This allows
BPF to work with CONFIG_FINEIBT=y
- Change BPF verifier logic to validate global subprograms lazily
instead of unconditionally before the main program, so they can be
guarded using BPF CO-RE techniques
- Support uid/gid options when mounting bpffs
- Add a new kfunc which acquires the associated cgroup of a task
within a specific cgroup v1 hierarchy where the latter is
identified by its id
- Extend verifier to allow bpf_refcount_acquire() of a map value
field obtained via direct load which is a use-case needed in
sched_ext
- Add BPF link_info support for uprobe multi link along with bpftool
integration for the latter
- Support for VLAN tag in XDP hints
- Remove deprecated bpfilter kernel leftovers given the project is
developed in user-space (https://github.com/facebook/bpfilter)
Misc:
- Support for parellel TC self-tests execution
- Increase MPTCP self-tests coverage
- Updated the bridge documentation, including several so-far
undocumented features
- Convert all the net self-tests to run in unique netns, to avoid
random failures due to conflict and allow concurrent runs
- Add TCP-AO self-tests
- Add kunit tests for both cfg80211 and mac80211
- Autogenerate Netlink families documentation from YAML spec
- Add yml-gen support for fixed headers and recursive nests, the tool
can now generate user-space code for all genetlink families for
which we have specs
- A bunch of additional module descriptions fixes
- Catch incorrect freeing of pages belonging to a page pool
Driver API:
- Rust abstractions for network PHY drivers; do not cover yet the
full C API, but already allow implementing functional PHY drivers
in rust
- Introduce queue and NAPI support in the netdev Netlink interface,
allowing complete access to the device <> NAPIs <> queues
relationship
- Introduce notifications filtering for devlink to allow control
application scale to thousands of instances
- Improve PHY validation, requesting rate matching information for
each ethtool link mode supported by both the PHY and host
- Add support for ethtool symmetric-xor RSS hash
- ACPI based Wifi band RFI (WBRF) mitigation feature for the AMD
platform
- Expose pin fractional frequency offset value over new DPLL generic
netlink attribute
- Convert older drivers to platform remove callback returning void
- Add support for PHY package MMD read/write

docs: kernel_feat.py: fix potential command injection
The kernel-feat directive passes its argument straight to the shell.
This is unfortunate and unnecessary.
Let's always use paths relative to $srctree/Documentation/ and use
subprocess.check_call() instead of subprocess.Popen(shell=True).
This also makes the code shorter.
This is analogous to commit
