Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of driver core changes for 6.11-rc1.

  Lots of stuff in here, with not a huge diffstat, but apis are evolving
  which required lots of files to be touched. Highlights of the changes
  in here are:

   - platform remove callback api final fixups (Uwe took many releases
     to get here, finally!)

   - Rust bindings for basic firmware apis and initial driver-core
     interactions.

     It's not all that useful for a "write a whole driver in rust" type
     of thing, but the firmware bindings do help out the phy rust
     drivers, and the driver core bindings give a solid base on which
     others can start their work.

     There is still a long way to go here before we have a multitude of
     rust drivers being added, but it's a great first step.

   - driver core const api changes.

     This reached across all bus types, and there are some fix-ups for
     some not-common bus types that linux-next and 0-day testing shook
     out.

     This work is being done to help make the rust bindings more safe,
     as well as the C code, moving toward the end-goal of allowing us to
     put driver structures into read-only memory. We aren't there yet,
     but are getting closer.

   - minor devres cleanups and fixes found by code inspection

   - arch_topology minor changes

   - other minor driver core cleanups

  All of these have been in linux-next for a very long time with no
  reported problems"

sysfs/cpu: Make crash_hotplug attribute world-readable

2024-07-12T09:00:58+00:00

There is no reason to restrict access to this attribute, as it merely
reports whether crash elfcorehdr is automatically updated on CPU hot
plug/unplug and/or online/offline events.

Note that since commit 79365026f8694 ("crash: add a new kexec flag for
hotplug support"), this maps to the same flag which is world-accessible
through /sys/devices/system/memory/crash_hotplug.

driver core: have match() callback in struct bus_type take a const *

2024-07-03T13:16:54+00:00

In the match() callback, the struct device_driver * should not be
changed, so change the function callback to be a const *.  This is one
step of many towards making the driver core safe to have struct
device_driver in read-only memory.

Because the match() callback is in all busses, all busses are modified
to handle this properly.  This does entail switching some container_of()
calls to container_of_const() to properly handle the constant *.

For some busses, like PCI and USB and HV, the const * is cast away in
the match callback as those busses do want to modify those structures at
this point in time (they have a local lock in the driver structure.)
That will have to be changed in the future if they wish to have their
struct device * in read-only-memory.

cpumask: Add enabled cpumask for present CPUs that can be brought online

2024-06-28T17:38:33+00:00

The 'offline' file in sysfs shows all offline CPUs, including those
that aren't present. User-space is expected to remove not-present CPUs
from this list to learn which CPUs could be brought online.

CPUs can be present but not-enabled. These CPUs can't be brought online
until the firmware policy changes, which comes with an ACPI notification
that will register the CPUs.

With only the offline and present files, user-space is unable to
determine which CPUs it can try to bring online. Add a new CPU mask
that shows this based on all the registered CPUs.

cpu: Do not warn on arch_register_cpu() returning -EPROBE_DEFER

2024-06-28T17:38:27+00:00

For arm64 the CPU registration cannot complete until the ACPI
interpreter us up and running so in those cases the arch specific
arch_register_cpu() will return -EPROBE_DEFER at this stage and the
registration will be attempted later.

crash: add a new kexec flag for hotplug support

2024-04-23T04:59:01+00:00

Commit a72bbec70da2 ("crash: hotplug support for kexec_load()")
introduced a new kexec flag, `KEXEC_UPDATE_ELFCOREHDR`. Kexec tool uses
this flag to indicate to the kernel that it is safe to modify the
elfcorehdr of the kdump image loaded using the kexec_load system call.

However, it is possible that architectures may need to update kexec
segments other then elfcorehdr. For example, FDT (Flatten Device Tree)
on PowerPC. Introducing a new kexec flag for every new kexec segment
may not be a good solution. Hence, a generic kexec flag bit,
`KEXEC_CRASH_HOTPLUG_SUPPORT`, is introduced to share the CPU/Memory
hotplug support intent between the kexec tool and the kernel for the
kexec_load system call.

Now we have two kexec flags that enables crash hotplug support for
kexec_load system call. First is KEXEC_UPDATE_ELFCOREHDR (only used in
x86), and second is KEXEC_CRASH_HOTPLUG_SUPPORT (for all architectures).

To simplify the process of finding and reporting the crash hotplug
support the following changes are introduced.

1. Define arch specific function to process the kexec flags and
   determine crash hotplug support

2. Rename the @update_elfcorehdr member of struct kimage to
   @hotplug_support and populate it for both kexec_load and
   kexec_file_load syscalls, because architecture can update more than
   one kexec segment

3. Let generic function crash_check_hotplug_support report hotplug
   support for loaded kdump image based on value of @hotplug_support

To bring the x86 crash hotplug support in line with the above points,
the following changes have been made:

- Introduce the arch_crash_hotplug_support function to process kexec
  flags and determine crash hotplug support

- Remove the arch_crash_hotplug_[cpu|memory]_support functions

2024-03-15T00:43:30+00:00

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

- Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
"implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".

- More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series

"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"

- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
scalability of zswap rb-tree".

- Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.

- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.

- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series
"mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".

- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is
hotplugged as system memory.

- Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
which does that.

- More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series

"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"

- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving
policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion
rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory
environments appearing with CXL.

- Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".

- Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".

- Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
tools to parse and process out selftesting results.

- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the
process has a large number of pte-mapped folios.

- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown
situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice.

- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings"
Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's
series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.

- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page
faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.

- In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction
test", Mark Brown did what the title claims.

- Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and
refactoring".

- Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
zswap kselftests" does as claimed.

- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess
in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing
data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.

- Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides
dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during
certain userfaultfd operations.

- Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
in his series

"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"

- Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability
improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It
realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark.

- Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".

- Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series

"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"

- Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging
of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
memory compaction".

- Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages()
to an iterator".

- Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
"Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".

- Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".

- David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
total_mapcount()", a cleanup.

- Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".

- Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which
are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.

- Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.

- Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
also. S390 is affected.

- Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
"mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".

- Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his
series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM
Selftests".

- Also, of course, many singleton patches to many things. Please see
the individual changelogs for details.

x86/rfds: Mitigate Register File Data Sampling (RFDS)

2024-03-11T20:13:48+00:00

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.

For details see:

crash: split crash dumping code out from kexec_core.c

2024-02-24T01:48:22+00:00

Currently, KEXEC_CORE select CRASH_CORE automatically because crash codes
need be built in to avoid compiling error when building kexec code even
though the crash dumping functionality is not enabled. E.g
--------------------
CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y
---------------------

After splitting out crashkernel reservation code and vmcoreinfo exporting
code, there's only crash related code left in kernel/crash_core.c. Now
move crash related codes from kexec_core.c to crash_core.c and only build it
in when CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y.

And also wrap up crash codes inside CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP ifdeffery scope,
or replace inappropriate CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE ifdef with CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP
ifdef in generic kernel files.

With these changes, crash_core codes are abstracted from kexec codes and
can be disabled at all if only kexec reboot feature is wanted.
