Pull vdso updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Remove the redundant CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL after converting
   the remaining users over.

 - Rework and sanitize the MIPS VDSO handling, so it does not handle the
   time related VDSO if there is no VDSO capable clocksource available.
   Also stop mapping VDSO data pages unconditionally even if there is no
   usage possible.

Pull RISC-V fixes from Paul Walmsley:

 - Fix the implementation of the CFI branch landing pad control prctl()s
   to return -EINVAL if unknown control bits are set, rather than
   silently ignoring the request; and add a kselftest for this case

 - Fix unaligned access performance testing to happen earlier in boot,
   which fixes a performance regression in the lib/checksum code

 - Fix a binfmt_elf warning when dumping core (due to missing
   .core_note_name for CFI registers)

prctl(PR_SET_CFI,PR_CFI_BRANCH_LANDING_PADS) silently ignored

The syscall definitions can be built just fine for 32-bit systems.
Also the guard does not cover __arch_get_hw_counter() which is always
used together with those system call fallbacks. Also this header is
unused when no vDSO is built anyways.

Drop the ifdeffery. The logic will be simpler to understand. Furthermore
this prepares the complete removal of CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL.

Disable the warnings in the same way for clang-23 and newer. Disable the
warning about unknown warning options to avoid breaking the build for
versions of clang-23 that do not have -Wattribute-alias, such as ones
deployed by vendors like Android or CI systems or when bisecting LLVM
between llvmorg-23-init and release/23.x.

<title>ring-buffer: Flush and stop persistent ring buffer on panic</title>

<content type='text'>
On real hardware, panic and machine reboot may not flush hardware cache
to memory. This means the persistent ring buffer, which relies on a
coherent state of memory, may not have its events written to the buffer
and they may be lost. Moreover, there may be inconsistency with the
counters which are used for validation of the integrity of the
persistent ring buffer which may cause all data to be discarded.

To avoid this issue, stop recording of the ring buffer on panic and
flush the cache of the ring buffer's memory.

Pull RISC-V updates from Paul Walmsley:
 "There is one significant change outside arch/riscv in this pull
  request: the addition of a set of KUnit tests for strlen(), strnlen(),
  and strrchr().

  Otherwise, the most notable changes are to add some RISC-V-specific
  string function implementations, to remove XIP kernel support, to add
  hardware error exception handling, and to optimize our runtime
  unaligned access speed testing.

  A few comments on the motivation for removing XIP support. It's been
  broken in the RISC-V kernel for months. The code is not easy to
  maintain. Furthermore, for XIP support to truly be useful for RISC-V,
  we think that compile-time feature switches would need to be added for
  many of the RISC-V ISA features and microarchitectural properties that
  are currently implemented with runtime patching. No one has stepped
  forward to take responsibility for that work, so many of us think it's
  best to remove it until clear use cases and champions emerge.

  Summary:

   - Add Kunit correctness testing and microbenchmarks for strlen(),
     strnlen(), and strrchr()

   - Add RISC-V-specific strnlen(), strchr(), strrchr() implementations

   - Add hardware error exception handling

   - Clean up and optimize our unaligned access probe code

   - Enable HAVE_IOREMAP_PROT to be able to use generic_access_phys()

   - Remove XIP kernel support

   - Warn when addresses outside the vmemmap range are passed to
     vmemmap_populate()

   - Update the ACPI FADT revision check to warn if it's not at least
     ACPI v6.6, which is when key RISC-V-specific tables were added to
     the specification

   - Increase COMMAND_LINE_SIZE to 2048 to match ARM64, x86, PowerPC,
     etc.

   - Make kaslr_offset() a static inline function, since there's no need
     for it to show up in the symbol table

   - Add KASLR offset and SATP to the VMCOREINFO ELF notes to improve
     kdump support

   - Add Makefile cleanup rule for vdso_cfi copied source files, and add
     a .gitignore for the build artifacts in that directory

   - Remove some redundant ifdefs that check Kconfig macros

   - Add missing SPDX license tag to the CFI selftest

   - Simplify UTS_MACHINE assignment in the RISC-V Makefile

   - Clarify some unclear comments and remove some superfluous comments

   - Fix various English typos across the RISC-V codebase"

Pull s390 updates from Vasily Gorbik:

 - Add support for CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK and enable it in
   debug_defconfig. s390 can only tell user from kernel PTEs via the mm,
   so mm_struct is now passed into pxx_user_accessible_page() callbacks

 - Expose the PCI function UID as an arch-specific slot attribute in
   sysfs so a function can be identified by its user-defined id while
   still in standby. Introduces a generic ARCH_PCI_SLOT_GROUPS hook in
   drivers/pci/slot.c

 - Refresh s390 PCI documentation to reflect current behavior and cover
   previously undocumented sysfs attributes

 - zcrypt device driver cleanup series: consistent field types, clearer
   variable naming, a kernel-doc warning fix, and a comment explaining
   the intentional synchronize_rcu() in pkey_handler_register()

 - Provide an s390 arch_raw_cpu_ptr() that avoids the detour via
   get_lowcore() using alternatives, shrinking defconfig by ~27 kB

 - Guard identity-base randomization with kaslr_enabled() so nokaslr
   keeps the identity mapping at 0 even with RANDOMIZE_IDENTITY_BASE=y

 - Build S390_MODULES_SANITY_TEST as a module only by requiring KUNIT &amp;&amp;

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "Arm:

   - Add support for tracing in the standalone EL2 hypervisor code,
     which should help both debugging and performance analysis. This
     uses the new infrastructure for 'remote' trace buffers that can be
     exposed by non-kernel entities such as firmware, and which came
     through the tracing tree

   - Add support for GICv5 Per Processor Interrupts (PPIs), as the
     starting point for supporting the new GIC architecture in KVM

   - Finally add support for pKVM protected guests, where pages are
     unmapped from the host as they are faulted into the guest and can
     be shared back from the guest using pKVM hypercalls. Protected
     guests are created using a new machine type identifier. As the
     elusive guestmem has not yet delivered on its promises, anonymous
     memory is also supported

     This is only a first step towards full isolation from the host; for
     example, the CPU register state and DMA accesses are not yet
     isolated. Because this does not really yet bring fully what it
     promises, it is hidden behind CONFIG_ARM_PKVM_GUEST +
     'kvm-arm.mode=protected', and also triggers TAINT_USER when a VM is
     created. Caveat emptor

   - Rework the dreaded user_mem_abort() function to make it more
     maintainable, reducing the amount of state being exposed to the
     various helpers and rendering a substantial amount of state
     immutable

   - Expand the Stage-2 page table dumper to support NV shadow page
     tables on a per-VM basis

   - Tidy up the pKVM PSCI proxy code to be slightly less hard to
     follow

   - Fix both SPE and TRBE in non-VHE configurations so that they do not
     generate spurious, out of context table walks that ultimately lead
     to very bad HW lockups

   - A small set of patches fixing the Stage-2 MMU freeing in error
     cases

   - Tighten-up accepted SMC immediate value to be only #0 for host
     SMCCC calls

   - The usual cleanups and other selftest churn

  LoongArch:

   - Use CSR_CRMD_PLV for kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel()

   - Add DMSINTC irqchip in kernel support

  RISC-V:

   - Fix steal time shared memory alignment checks

   - Fix vector context allocation leak

   - Fix array out-of-bounds in pmu_ctr_read() and pmu_fw_ctr_read_hi()

   - Fix double-free of sdata in kvm_pmu_clear_snapshot_area()

   - Fix integer overflow in kvm_pmu_validate_counter_mask()

   - Fix shift-out-of-bounds in make_xfence_request()

   - Fix lost write protection on huge pages during dirty logging

   - Split huge pages during fault handling for dirty logging

   - Skip CSR restore if VCPU is reloaded on the same core

   - Implement kvm_arch_has_default_irqchip() for KVM selftests

   - Factored-out ISA checks into separate sources

   - Added hideleg to struct kvm_vcpu_config

   - Factored-out VCPU config into separate sources

   - Support configuration of per-VM HGATP mode from KVM user space

  s390:

   - Support for ESA (31-bit) guests inside nested hypervisors

   - Remove restriction on memslot alignment, which is not needed
     anymore with the new gmap code

   - Fix LPSW/E to update the bear (which of course is the breaking
     event address register)

  x86:

   - Shut up various UBSAN warnings on reading module parameter before
     they were initialized

   - Don't zero-allocate page tables that are used for splitting
     hugepages in the TDP MMU, as KVM is guaranteed to set all SPTEs in
     the page table and thus write all bytes

   - As an optimization, bail early when trying to unsync 4KiB mappings
     if the target gfn can just be mapped with a 2MiB hugepage

  x86 generic:

   - Copy single-chunk MMIO write values into struct kvm_vcpu (more
     precisely struct kvm_mmio_fragment) to fix use-after-free stack
     bugs where KVM would dereference stack pointer after an exit to
     userspace

   - Clean up and comment the emulated MMIO code to try to make it
     easier to maintain (not necessarily "easy", but "easier")

   - Move VMXON+VMXOFF and EFER.SVME toggling out of KVM (not *all* of
     VMX and SVM enabling) as it is needed for trusted I/O

   - Advertise support for AVX512 Bit Matrix Multiply (BMM) instructions

   - Immediately fail the build if a required #define is missing in one
     of KVM's headers that is included multiple times

   - Reject SET_GUEST_DEBUG with -EBUSY if there's an already injected
     exception, mostly to prevent syzkaller from abusing the uAPI to
     trigger WARNs, but also because it can help prevent userspace from
     unintentionally crashing the VM

   - Exempt SMM from CPUID faulting on Intel, as per the spec

   - Misc hardening and cleanup changes

  x86 (AMD):

   - Fix and optimize IRQ window inhibit handling for AVIC; make it
     per-vCPU so that KVM doesn't prematurely re-enable AVIC if multiple
     vCPUs have to-be-injected IRQs

   - Clean up and optimize the OSVW handling, avoiding a bug in which
     KVM would overwrite state when enabling virtualization on multiple
     CPUs in parallel. This should not be a problem because OSVW should
     usually be the same for all CPUs

   - Drop a WARN in KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION where KVM complains
     about a "too large" size based purely on user input

   - Clean up and harden the pinning code for KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION

   - Disallow synchronizing a VMSA of an already-launched/encrypted
     vCPU, as doing so for an SNP guest will crash the host due to an
     RMP violation page fault

   - Overhaul KVM's APIs for detecting SEV+ guests so that VM-scoped
     queries are required to hold kvm-&gt;lock, and enforce it by lockdep.
     Fix various bugs where sev_guest() was not ensured to be stable for
     the whole duration of a function or ioctl

   - Convert a pile of kvm-&gt;lock SEV code to guard()

   - Play nicer with userspace that does not enable
     KVM_CAP_EXCEPTION_PAYLOAD, for which KVM needs to set CR2 and DR6
     as a response to ioctls such as KVM_GET_VCPU_EVENTS (even if the
     payload would end up in EXITINFO2 rather than CR2, for example).
     Only set CR2 and DR6 when consumption of the payload is imminent,
     but on the other hand force delivery of the payload in all paths
     where userspace retrieves CR2 or DR6

   - Use vcpu-&gt;arch.cr2 when updating vmcb12's CR2 on nested #VMEXIT
     instead of vmcb02-&gt;save.cr2. The value is out of sync after a
     save/restore or after a #PF is injected into L2

   - Fix a class of nSVM bugs where some fields written by the CPU are
     not synchronized from vmcb02 to cached vmcb12 after VMRUN, and so
     are not up-to-date when saved by KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE

   - Fix a class of bugs where the ordering between KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE
     and KVM_SET_{S}REGS could cause vmcb02 to be incorrectly
     initialized after save+restore

   - Add a variety of missing nSVM consistency checks

   - Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly update VMCB fields
     on nested #VMEXIT

   - Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly synthesize #UD or
     #GP for SVM-related instructions

   - Add support for save+restore of virtualized LBRs (on SVM)

   - Refactor various helpers and macros to improve clarity and
     (hopefully) make the code easier to maintain

   - Aggressively sanitize fields when copying from vmcb12, to guard
     against unintentionally allowing L1 to utilize yet-to-be-defined
     features

   - Fix several bugs where KVM botched rAX legality checks when
     emulating SVM instructions. There are remaining issues in that KVM
     doesn't handle size prefix overrides for 64-bit guests

   - Fail emulation of VMRUN/VMLOAD/VMSAVE if mapping vmcb12 fails
     instead of somewhat arbitrarily synthesizing #GP (i.e. don't double
     down on AMD's architectural but sketchy behavior of generating #GP
     for "unsupported" addresses)

   - Cache all used vmcb12 fields to further harden against TOCTOU bugs

  x86 (Intel):

   - Drop obsolete branch hint prefixes from the VMX instruction macros

   - Use ASM_INPUT_RM() in __vmcs_writel() to coerce clang into using a
     register input when appropriate

   - Code cleanups

  guest_memfd:

   - Don't mark guest_memfd folios as accessed, as guest_memfd doesn't
     support reclaim, the memory is unevictable, and there is no storage
     to write back to

  LoongArch selftests:

   - Add KVM PMU test cases

  s390 selftests:

   - Enable more memory selftests

  x86 selftests:

   - Add support for Hygon CPUs in KVM selftests

   - Fix a bug in the MSR test where it would get false failures on
     AMD/Hygon CPUs with exactly one of RDPID or RDTSCP

   - Add an MADV_COLLAPSE testcase for guest_memfd as a regression test
     for a bug where the kernel would attempt to collapse guest_memfd
     folios against KVM's will"

     memory is also supported

     This is only a first step towards full isolation from the host; for
     example, the CPU register state and DMA accesses are not yet
     isolated. Because this does not really yet bring fully what it
     promises, it is hidden behind CONFIG_ARM_PKVM_GUEST +
     'kvm-arm.mode=protected', and also triggers TAINT_USER when a VM is
     created. Caveat emptor

   - Rework the dreaded user_mem_abort() function to make it more
     maintainable, reducing the amount of state being exposed to the
     various helpers and rendering a substantial amount of state
     immutable

   - Expand the Stage-2 page table dumper to support NV shadow page
     tables on a per-VM basis

   - Tidy up the pKVM PSCI proxy code to be slightly less hard to
     follow

   - Fix both SPE and TRBE in non-VHE configurations so that they do not
     generate spurious, out of context table walks that ultimately lead
     to very bad HW lockups

   - A small set of patches fixing the Stage-2 MMU freeing in error
     cases

   - Tighten-up accepted SMC immediate value to be only #0 for host
     SMCCC calls

   - The usual cleanups and other selftest churn

  LoongArch:

   - Use CSR_CRMD_PLV for kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel()

   - Add DMSINTC irqchip in kernel support

  RISC-V:

   - Fix steal time shared memory alignment checks

   - Fix vector context allocation leak

   - Fix array out-of-bounds in pmu_ctr_read() and pmu_fw_ctr_read_hi()

   - Fix double-free of sdata in kvm_pmu_clear_snapshot_area()

   - Fix integer overflow in kvm_pmu_validate_counter_mask()

   - Fix shift-out-of-bounds in make_xfence_request()

   - Fix lost write protection on huge pages during dirty logging

   - Split huge pages during fault handling for dirty logging

   - Skip CSR restore if VCPU is reloaded on the same core

   - Implement kvm_arch_has_default_irqchip() for KVM selftests

   - Factored-out ISA checks into separate sources

   - Added hideleg to struct kvm_vcpu_config

   - Factored-out VCPU config into separate sources

   - Support configuration of per-VM HGATP mode from KVM user space

  s390:

   - Support for ESA (31-bit) guests inside nested hypervisors

   - Remove restriction on memslot alignment, which is not needed
     anymore with the new gmap code

   - Fix LPSW/E to update the bear (which of course is the breaking
     event address register)

  x86:

   - Shut up various UBSAN warnings on reading module parameter before
     they were initialized

   - Don't zero-allocate page tables that are used for splitting
     hugepages in the TDP MMU, as KVM is guaranteed to set all SPTEs in
     the page table and thus write all bytes

   - As an optimization, bail early when trying to unsync 4KiB mappings
     if the target gfn can just be mapped with a 2MiB hugepage

  x86 generic:

   - Copy single-chunk MMIO write values into struct kvm_vcpu (more
     precisely struct kvm_mmio_fragment) to fix use-after-free stack
     bugs where KVM would dereference stack pointer after an exit to
     userspace

   - Clean up and comment the emulated MMIO code to try to make it
     easier to maintain (not necessarily "easy", but "easier")

   - Move VMXON+VMXOFF and EFER.SVME toggling out of KVM (not *all* of
     VMX and SVM enabling) as it is needed for trusted I/O

   - Advertise support for AVX512 Bit Matrix Multiply (BMM) instructions

   - Immediately fail the build if a required #define is missing in one
     of KVM's headers that is included multiple times

   - Reject SET_GUEST_DEBUG with -EBUSY if there's an already injected
     exception, mostly to prevent syzkaller from abusing the uAPI to
     trigger WARNs, but also because it can help prevent userspace from
     unintentionally crashing the VM

   - Exempt SMM from CPUID faulting on Intel, as per the spec

   - Misc hardening and cleanup changes

  x86 (AMD):

   - Fix and optimize IRQ window inhibit handling for AVIC; make it
     per-vCPU so that KVM doesn't prematurely re-enable AVIC if multiple
     vCPUs have to-be-injected IRQs

   - Clean up and optimize the OSVW handling, avoiding a bug in which
     KVM would overwrite state when enabling virtualization on multiple
     CPUs in parallel. This should not be a problem because OSVW should
     usually be the same for all CPUs

   - Drop a WARN in KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION where KVM complains
     about a "too large" size based purely on user input

   - Clean up and harden the pinning code for KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION

   - Disallow synchronizing a VMSA of an already-launched/encrypted
     vCPU, as doing so for an SNP guest will crash the host due to an
     RMP violation page fault

   - Overhaul KVM's APIs for detecting SEV+ guests so that VM-scoped
     queries are required to hold kvm-&gt;lock, and enforce it by lockdep.
     Fix various bugs where sev_guest() was not ensured to be stable for
     the whole duration of a function or ioctl

   - Convert a pile of kvm-&gt;lock SEV code to guard()

   - Play nicer with userspace that does not enable
     KVM_CAP_EXCEPTION_PAYLOAD, for which KVM needs to set CR2 and DR6
     as a response to ioctls such as KVM_GET_VCPU_EVENTS (even if the
     payload would end up in EXITINFO2 rather than CR2, for example).
     Only set CR2 and DR6 when consumption of the payload is imminent,
     but on the other hand force delivery of the payload in all paths
     where userspace retrieves CR2 or DR6

   - Use vcpu-&gt;arch.cr2 when updating vmcb12's CR2 on nested #VMEXIT
     instead of vmcb02-&gt;save.cr2. The value is out of sync after a
     save/restore or after a #PF is injected into L2

   - Fix a class of nSVM bugs where some fields written by the CPU are
     not synchronized from vmcb02 to cached vmcb12 after VMRUN, and so
     are not up-to-date when saved by KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE

   - Fix a class of bugs where the ordering between KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE
     and KVM_SET_{S}REGS could cause vmcb02 to be incorrectly
     initialized after save+restore

   - Add a variety of missing nSVM consistency checks

   - Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly update VMCB fields
     on nested #VMEXIT

   - Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly synthesize #UD or
     #GP for SVM-related instructions

   - Add support for save+restore of virtualized LBRs (on SVM)

   - Refactor various helpers and macros to improve clarity and
     (hopefully) make the code easier to maintain

   - Aggressively sanitize fields when copying from vmcb12, to guard
     against unintentionally allowing L1 to utilize yet-to-be-defined
     features

   - Fix several bugs where KVM botched rAX legality checks when
     emulating SVM instructions. There are remaining issues in that KVM
     doesn't handle size prefix overrides for 64-bit guests

   - Fail emulation of VMRUN/VMLOAD/VMSAVE if mapping vmcb12 fails
     instead of somewhat arbitrarily synthesizing #GP (i.e. don't double
     down on AMD's architectural but sketchy behavior of generating #GP
     for "unsupported" addresses)

   - Cache all used vmcb12 fields to further harden against TOCTOU bugs

  x86 (Intel):

   - Drop obsolete branch hint prefixes from the VMX instruction macros

   - Use ASM_INPUT_RM() in __vmcs_writel() to coerce clang into using a
     register input when appropriate

   - Code cleanups

  guest_memfd:

   - Don't mark guest_memfd folios as accessed, as guest_memfd doesn't
     support reclaim, the memory is unevictable, and there is no storage
     to write back to

  LoongArch selftests:

   - Add KVM PMU test cases

  s390 selftests:

   - Enable more memory selftests

  x86 selftests:

   - Add support for Hygon CPUs in KVM selftests

   - Fix a bug in the MSR test where it would get false failures on
     AMD/Hygon CPUs with exactly one of RDPID or RDTSCP

   - Add an MADV_COLLAPSE testcase for guest_memfd as a regression test
     for a bug where the kernel would attempt to collapse guest_memfd
     folios against KVM's will"
