The extra-y syntax is deprecated. Instead, use always-$(KBUILD_BUILTIN),
which behaves equivalently.

Pull more kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
  Generic:

   - Clean up locking of all vCPUs for a VM by using the *_nest_lock()
     family of functions, and move duplicated code to virt/kvm/. kernel/
     patches acked by Peter Zijlstra

   - Add MGLRU support to the access tracking perf test

  ARM fixes:

   - Make the irqbypass hooks resilient to changes in the GSI&lt;-&gt;MSI
     routing, avoiding behind stale vLPI mappings being left behind. The
     fix is to resolve the VGIC IRQ using the host IRQ (which is stable)
     and nuking the vLPI mapping upon a routing change

   - Close another VGIC race where vCPU creation races with VGIC
     creation, leading to in-flight vCPUs entering the kernel w/o
     private IRQs allocated

   - Fix a build issue triggered by the recently added workaround for
     Ampere's AC04_CPU_23 erratum

   - Correctly sign-extend the VA when emulating a TLBI instruction
     potentially targeting a VNCR mapping

   - Avoid dereferencing a NULL pointer in the VGIC debug code, which
     can happen if the device doesn't have any mapping yet

  s390:

   - Fix interaction between some filesystems and Secure Execution

   - Some cleanups and refactorings, preparing for an upcoming big
     series

  x86:

   - Wait for target vCPU to ack KVM_REQ_UPDATE_PROTECTED_GUEST_STATE
     to fix a race between AP destroy and VMRUN

   - Decrypt and dump the VMSA in dump_vmcb() if debugging enabled for
     the VM

   - Refine and harden handling of spurious faults

   - Add support for ALLOWED_SEV_FEATURES

   - Add #VMGEXIT to the set of handlers special cased for
     CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y

   - Treat DEBUGCTL[5:2] as reserved to pave the way for virtualizing
     features that utilize those bits

   - Don't account temporary allocations in sev_send_update_data()

   - Add support for KVM_CAP_X86_BUS_LOCK_EXIT on SVM, via Bus Lock
     Threshold

   - Unify virtualization of IBRS on nested VM-Exit, and cross-vCPU
     IBPB, between SVM and VMX

   - Advertise support to userspace for WRMSRNS and PREFETCHI

   - Rescan I/O APIC routes after handling EOI that needed to be
     intercepted due to the old/previous routing, but not the
     new/current routing

   - Add a module param to control and enumerate support for device
     posted interrupts

   - Fix a potential overflow with nested virt on Intel systems running
     32-bit kernels

   - Flush shadow VMCSes on emergency reboot

   - Add support for SNP to the various SEV selftests

   - Add a selftest to verify fastops instructions via forced emulation

   - Refine and optimize KVM's software processing of the posted
     interrupt bitmap, and share the harvesting code between KVM and the
     kernel's Posted MSI handler"

<title>s390/uv: Improve splitting of large folios that cannot be split while dirty</title>

<id>ab73b29efd36f8916c6cc9954e912c4723c9a1b0</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, starting a PV VM on an iomap-based filesystem with large
folio support, such as XFS, will not work. We'll be stuck in
unpack_one()-&gt;gmap_make_secure(), because we can't seem to make progress
splitting the large folio.

The problem is that we require a writable PTE but a writable PTE under such
filesystems will imply a dirty folio.

So whenever we have a writable PTE, we'll have a dirty folio, and dirty
iomap folios cannot currently get split, because
split_folio()-&gt;split_huge_page_to_list_to_order()-&gt;filemap_release_folio()
will fail in iomap_release_folio().

So we will not make any progress splitting such large folios.

Until dirty folios can be split more reliably, let's manually trigger
writeback of the problematic folio using
filemap_write_and_wait_range(), and retry the split immediately
afterwards exactly once, before looking up the folio again.

Should this logic be part of split_folio()? Likely not; most split users
don't have to split so eagerly to make any progress.

For now, this seems to affect xfs, zonefs and erofs, and this patch
makes it work again (tested on xfs only).

While this could be considered a fix for commit 6795801366da ("xfs: Support
large folios"), commit df2f9708ff1f ("zonefs: enable support for large
folios") and commit ce529cc25b18 ("erofs: enable large folios for iomap
mode"), before commit eef88fe45ac9 ("s390/uv: Split large folios in
gmap_make_secure()"), we did not try splitting large folios at all. So it's
all rather part of making SE compatible with file systems that support
large folios. But to have some "Fixes:" tag, let's just use eef88fe45ac9.

Not CCing stable, because there are a lot of dependencies, and it simply
not working is not critical in stable kernels.

Let's consistently return 0 if the operation was successful, and just
detect ourselves whether splitting is required -- folio_test_large() is
a cheap operation.

Update the documentation.

Should we simply always return -EAGAIN instead of 0, so we don't have
to handle it in the caller? Not sure, staring at the documentation, this
way looks a bit cleaner.

<title>s390/uv: Don't return 0 from make_hva_secure() if the operation was not successful</title>

If s390_wiggle_split_folio() returns 0 because splitting a large folio
succeeded, we will return 0 from make_hva_secure() even though a retry
is required. Return -EAGAIN in that case.

Otherwise, we'll return 0 from gmap_make_secure(), and consequently from
unpack_one(). In kvm_s390_pv_unpack(), we assume that unpacking
succeeded and skip unpacking this page. Later on, we run into issues
and fail booting the VM.

So far, this issue was only observed with follow-up patches where we
split large pagecache XFS folios. Maybe it can also be triggered with
shmem?

We'll cleanup s390_wiggle_split_folio() a bit next, to also return 0
if no split was required.

Pull s390 updates from Heiko Carstens:

 - Large rework of the protected key crypto code to allow for

 - Add module autoload support for the diag288_wdt watchdog device
   driver

 - Get rid of s390 specific strcpy() and strncpy() implementations, and
   switch all remaining users to strscpy() when possible

 - Various other small fixes and improvements
