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"

Commit fb49f07ba1d9 ("locking/mutex: implement mutex_lock_killable_nest_lock")
changed the set of functions that mutex.c defines when CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
is set.

- it removed the "extern" declaration of mutex_lock_killable_nested from
  include/linux/mutex.h, and replaced it with a macro since it could be
  treated as a special case of _mutex_lock_killable.  It also removed a
  definition of the function in kernel/locking/mutex.c.

- likewise, it replaced mutex_trylock() with the more generic
  mutex_trylock_nest_lock() and replaced mutex_trylock() with a macro.

However, it left the old definitions in place in kernel/locking/rtmutex_api.c,
which causes failures when building with CONFIG_RT_MUTEXES=y.  Bring over
the changes.

KVM's SEV intra-host migration code needs to lock all vCPUs
of the source and the target VM, before it proceeds with the migration.

The number of vCPUs that belong to each VM is not bounded by anything
except a self-imposed KVM limit of CONFIG_KVM_MAX_NR_VCPUS vCPUs which is
significantly larger than the depth of lockdep's lock stack.

Luckily, the locks in both of the cases mentioned above, are held under
the 'kvm-&gt;lock' of each VM, which means that we can use the little
known lockdep feature called a "nest_lock" to support this use case in
a cleaner way, compared to the way it's currently done.

Implement and expose 'mutex_lock_killable_nest_lock' for this
purpose.

Despite the fact that several lockdep-related checks are skipped when
calling trylock* versions of the locking primitives, for example
mutex_trylock, each time the mutex is acquired, a held_lock is still
placed onto the lockdep stack by __lock_acquire() which is called
regardless of whether the trylock* or regular locking API was used.

This means that if the caller successfully acquires more than
MAX_LOCK_DEPTH locks of the same class, even when using mutex_trylock,
lockdep will still complain that the maximum depth of the held lock stack
has been reached and disable itself.

For example, the following error currently occurs in the ARM version
of KVM, once the code tries to lock all vCPUs of a VM configured with more
than MAX_LOCK_DEPTH vCPUs, a situation that can easily happen on modern
systems, where having more than 48 CPUs is common, and it's also common to
run VMs that have vCPU counts approaching that number:

[  328.171264] BUG: MAX_LOCK_DEPTH too low!
[  328.175227] turning off the locking correctness validator.
[  328.180726] Please attach the output of /proc/lock_stat to the bug report
[  328.187531] depth: 48  max: 48!

Luckily, in all instances that require locking all vCPUs, the
'kvm-&gt;lock' is taken a priori, and that fact makes it possible to use
the little known feature of lockdep, called a 'nest_lock', to avoid this
warning and subsequent lockdep self-disablement.

The action of 'nested lock' being provided to lockdep's lock_acquire(),
causes the lockdep to detect that the top of the held lock stack contains
a lock of the same class and then increment its reference counter instead
of pushing a new held_lock item onto that stack.

See __lock_acquire for more information.

Despite the fact that several lockdep-related checks are skipped when
calling trylock* versions of the locking primitives, for example
mutex_trylock, each time the mutex is acquired, a held_lock is still
placed onto the lockdep stack by __lock_acquire() which is called
regardless of whether the trylock* or regular locking API was used.

This means that if the caller successfully acquires more than
MAX_LOCK_DEPTH locks of the same class, even when using mutex_trylock,
lockdep will still complain that the maximum depth of the held lock stack
has been reached and disable itself.

For example, the following error currently occurs in the ARM version
of KVM, once the code tries to lock all vCPUs of a VM configured with more
than MAX_LOCK_DEPTH vCPUs, a situation that can easily happen on modern
systems, where having more than 48 CPUs is common, and it's also common to
run VMs that have vCPU counts approaching that number:

[  328.171264] BUG: MAX_LOCK_DEPTH too low!

Luckily, in all instances that require locking all vCPUs, the
'kvm-&gt;lock' is taken a priori, and that fact makes it possible to use
the little known feature of lockdep, called a 'nest_lock', to avoid this
warning and subsequent lockdep self-disablement.

The action of 'nested lock' being provided to lockdep's lock_acquire(),
causes the lockdep to detect that the top of the held lock stack contains
a lock of the same class and then increment its reference counter instead
of pushing a new held_lock item onto that stack.

<title>hung_task: show the blocker task if the task is hung on semaphore</title>

Inspired by mutex blocker tracking[1], this patch makes a trade-off to
balance the overhead and utility of the hung task detector.

Unlike mutexes, semaphores lack explicit ownership tracking, making it
challenging to identify the root cause of hangs.  To address this, we
introduce a last_holder field to the semaphore structure, which is updated
when a task successfully calls down() and cleared during up().

The assumption is that if a task is blocked on a semaphore, the holders
must not have released it.  While this does not guarantee that the last
holder is one of the current blockers, it likely provides a practical hint
for diagnosing semaphore-related stalls.

With this change, the hung task detector can now show blocker task's info
like below:

Patch series "hung_task: extend blocking task stacktrace dump to
semaphore", v5.

Inspired by mutex blocker tracking[1], this patch series extend the
feature to not only dump the blocker task holding a mutex but also to
support semaphores.  Unlike mutexes, semaphores lack explicit ownership
tracking, making it challenging to identify the root cause of hangs.  To
address this, we introduce a last_holder field to the semaphore structure,
which is updated when a task successfully calls down() and cleared during
up().

The assumption is that if a task is blocked on a semaphore, the holders
must not have released it.  While this does not guarantee that the last
holder is one of the current blockers, it likely provides a practical hint
for diagnosing semaphore-related stalls.

With this change, the hung task detector can now show blocker task's info
like below:

This patch (of 3):

This patch replaces 'struct mutex *blocker_mutex' with 'unsigned long
blocker', as only one blocker is active at a time.

The blocker filed can store both the lock addrees and the lock type, with
LSB used to encode the type as Masami suggested, making it easier to
extend the feature to cover other types of locks.

Also, once the lock type is determined, we can directly extract the
address and cast it to a lock pointer ;)

This patch (of 3):

This patch replaces 'struct mutex *blocker_mutex' with 'unsigned long
blocker', as only one blocker is active at a time.

The blocker filed can store both the lock addrees and the lock type, with
LSB used to encode the type as Masami suggested, making it easier to
extend the feature to cover other types of locks.

Also, once the lock type is determined, we can directly extract the
address and cast it to a lock pointer ;)

<title>locking/lockdep: Add number of dynamic keys to /proc/lockdep_stats</title>

There have been recent reports about running out of lockdep keys:

	MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS too low!

One possible reason is that too many dynamic keys have been registered.
A possible culprit is the lockdep_register_key() call in qdisc_alloc()
of net/sched/sch_generic.c.

Currently, there is no way to find out how many dynamic keys have been
registered. Add such a stat to the /proc/lockdep_stats to get better
clarity.

To catch the code trying to use a subclass value &gt;= MAX_LOCKDEP_SUBCLASSES (8),
add a DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON() statement to notify the users that such a
large value is not allowed.
