When enabling a sched_ext scheduler, we may trigger invalid task state
transitions, resulting in warnings like the following (which can be
easily reproduced by running the hotplug selftest in a loop):

 sched_ext: Invalid task state transition 0 -&gt; 3 for fish[770]
 WARNING: CPU: 18 PID: 787 at kernel/sched/ext.c:3862 scx_set_task_state+0x7c/0xc0

This happens because we skip initialization for tasks that are already
dead (with their usage counter set to zero), but we don't exclude them
during the scheduling class transition phase.

Fix this by also skipping dead tasks during class swiching, preventing
invalid task state transitions.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "ARM:

   - Host driver for GICv5, the next generation interrupt controller for
     arm64, including support for interrupt routing, MSIs, interrupt
     translation and wired interrupts

   - Use FEAT_GCIE_LEGACY on GICv5 systems to virtualize GICv3 VMs on
     GICv5 hardware, leveraging the legacy VGIC interface

   - Userspace control of the 'nASSGIcap' GICv3 feature, allowing
     userspace to disable support for SGIs w/o an active state on
     hardware that previously advertised it unconditionally

   - Map supporting endpoints with cacheable memory attributes on
     systems with FEAT_S2FWB and DIC where KVM no longer needs to
     perform cache maintenance on the address range

   - Nested support for FEAT_RAS and FEAT_DoubleFault2, allowing the
     guest hypervisor to inject external aborts into an L2 VM and take
     traps of masked external aborts to the hypervisor

   - Convert more system register sanitization to the config-driven
     implementation

   - Fixes to the visibility of EL2 registers, namely making VGICv3
     system registers accessible through the VGIC device instead of the
     ONE_REG vCPU ioctls

   - Various cleanups and minor fixes

  LoongArch:

   - Add stat information for in-kernel irqchip

   - Add tracepoints for CPUCFG and CSR emulation exits

   - Enhance in-kernel irqchip emulation

   - Various cleanups

  RISC-V:

   - Enable ring-based dirty memory tracking

   - Improve perf kvm stat to report interrupt events

   - Delegate illegal instruction trap to VS-mode

   - MMU improvements related to upcoming nested virtualization

  s390x

   - Fixes

  x86:

   - Add CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC for x86 to allow disabling support for I/O
     APIC, PIC, and PIT emulation at compile time

   - Share device posted IRQ code between SVM and VMX and harden it
     against bugs and runtime errors

   - Use vcpu_idx, not vcpu_id, for GA log tag/metadata, to make lookups
     O(1) instead of O(n)

   - For MMIO stale data mitigation, track whether or not a vCPU has
     access to (host) MMIO based on whether the page tables have MMIO
     pfns mapped; using VFIO is prone to false negatives

   - Rework the MSR interception code so that the SVM and VMX APIs are
     more or less identical

   - Recalculate all MSR intercepts from scratch on MSR filter changes,
     instead of maintaining shadow bitmaps

   - Advertise support for LKGS (Load Kernel GS base), a new instruction
     that's loosely related to FRED, but is supported and enumerated
     independently

   - Fix a user-triggerable WARN that syzkaller found by setting the
     vCPU in INIT_RECEIVED state (aka wait-for-SIPI), and then putting
     the vCPU into VMX Root Mode (post-VMXON). Trying to detect every
     possible path leading to architecturally forbidden states is hard
     and even risks breaking userspace (if it goes from valid to valid
     state but passes through invalid states), so just wait until
     KVM_RUN to detect that the vCPU state isn't allowed

   - Add KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_APERFMPERF to allow disabling
     interception of APERF/MPERF reads, so that a "properly" configured
     VM can access APERF/MPERF. This has many caveats (APERF/MPERF
     cannot be zeroed on vCPU creation or saved/restored on suspend and
     resume, or preserved over thread migration let alone VM migration)
     but can be useful whenever you're interested in letting Linux
     guests see the effective physical CPU frequency in /proc/cpuinfo

   - Reject KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ for vm file descriptors if vCPUs have been
     created, as there's no known use case for changing the default
     frequency for other VM types and it goes counter to the very reason
     why the ioctl was added to the vm file descriptor. And also, there
     would be no way to make it work for confidential VMs with a
     "secure" TSC, so kill two birds with one stone

   - Dynamically allocation the shadow MMU's hashed page list, and defer
     allocating the hashed list until it's actually needed (the TDP MMU
     doesn't use the list)

   - Extract many of KVM's helpers for accessing architectural local
     APIC state to common x86 so that they can be shared by guest-side
     code for Secure AVIC

   - Various cleanups and fixes

  x86 (Intel):

   - Preserve the host's DEBUGCTL.FREEZE_IN_SMM when running the guest.
     Failure to honor FREEZE_IN_SMM can leak host state into guests

   - Explicitly check vmcs12.GUEST_DEBUGCTL on nested VM-Enter to
     prevent L1 from running L2 with features that KVM doesn't support,
     e.g. BTF

  x86 (AMD):

   - WARN and reject loading kvm-amd.ko instead of panicking the kernel
     if the nested SVM MSRPM offsets tracker can't handle an MSR (which
     is pretty much a static condition and therefore should never
     happen, but still)

   - Fix a variety of flaws and bugs in the AVIC device posted IRQ code

   - Inhibit AVIC if a vCPU's ID is too big (relative to what hardware
     supports) instead of rejecting vCPU creation

   - Extend enable_ipiv module param support to SVM, by simply leaving
     IsRunning clear in the vCPU's physical ID table entry

   - Disable IPI virtualization, via enable_ipiv, if the CPU is affected
     by erratum #1235, to allow (safely) enabling AVIC on such CPUs

   - Request GA Log interrupts if and only if the target vCPU is
     blocking, i.e. only if KVM needs a notification in order to wake
     the vCPU

   - Intercept SPEC_CTRL on AMD if the MSR shouldn't exist according to
     the vCPU's CPUID model

   - Accept any SNP policy that is accepted by the firmware with respect
     to SMT and single-socket restrictions. An incompatible policy
     doesn't put the kernel at risk in any way, so there's no reason for
     KVM to care

   - Drop a superfluous WBINVD (on all CPUs!) when destroying a VM and
     use WBNOINVD instead of WBINVD when possible for SEV cache
     maintenance

   - When reclaiming memory from an SEV guest, only do cache flushes on
     CPUs that have ever run a vCPU for the guest, i.e. don't flush the
     caches for CPUs that can't possibly have cache lines with dirty,
     encrypted data

  Generic:

   - Rework irqbypass to track/match producers and consumers via an
     xarray instead of a linked list. Using a linked list leads to
     O(n^2) insertion times, which is hugely problematic for use cases
     that create large numbers of VMs. Such use cases typically don't
     actually use irqbypass, but eliminating the pointless registration
     is a future problem to solve as it likely requires new uAPI

   - Track irqbypass's "token" as "struct eventfd_ctx *" instead of a
     "void *", to avoid making a simple concept unnecessarily difficult
     to understand

   - Decouple device posted IRQs from VFIO device assignment, as binding
     a VM to a VFIO group is not a requirement for enabling device
     posted IRQs

   - Clean up and document/comment the irqfd assignment code

   - Disallow binding multiple irqfds to an eventfd with a priority
     waiter, i.e. ensure an eventfd is bound to at most one irqfd
     through the entire host, and add a selftest to verify eventfd:irqfd
     bindings are globally unique

   - Add a tracepoint for KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES to help debug issues
     related to private &lt;=&gt; shared memory conversions

   - Drop guest_memfd's .getattr() implementation as the VFS layer will
     call generic_fillattr() if inode_operations.getattr is NULL

   - Fix issues with dirty ring harvesting where KVM doesn't bound the
     processing of entries in any way, which allows userspace to keep
     KVM in a tight loop indefinitely

   - Kill off kvm_arch_{start,end}_assignment() and x86's associated
     tracking, now that KVM no longer uses assigned_device_count as a
     heuristic for either irqbypass usage or MDS mitigation

  Selftests:

   - Fix a comment typo

   - Verify KVM is loaded when getting any KVM module param so that
     attempting to run a selftest without kvm.ko loaded results in a
     SKIP message about KVM not being loaded/enabled (versus some random
     parameter not existing)

   - Skip tests that hit EACCES when attempting to access a file, and
     print a "Root required?" help message. In most cases, the test just
     needs to be run with elevated permissions"

   - Inhibit AVIC if a vCPU's ID is too big (relative to what hardware
     supports) instead of rejecting vCPU creation

   - Extend enable_ipiv module param support to SVM, by simply leaving
     IsRunning clear in the vCPU's physical ID table entry

   - Disable IPI virtualization, via enable_ipiv, if the CPU is affected
     by erratum #1235, to allow (safely) enabling AVIC on such CPUs

   - Request GA Log interrupts if and only if the target vCPU is
     blocking, i.e. only if KVM needs a notification in order to wake
     the vCPU

   - Intercept SPEC_CTRL on AMD if the MSR shouldn't exist according to
     the vCPU's CPUID model

   - Accept any SNP policy that is accepted by the firmware with respect
     to SMT and single-socket restrictions. An incompatible policy
     doesn't put the kernel at risk in any way, so there's no reason for
     KVM to care

   - Drop a superfluous WBINVD (on all CPUs!) when destroying a VM and
     use WBNOINVD instead of WBINVD when possible for SEV cache
     maintenance

   - When reclaiming memory from an SEV guest, only do cache flushes on
     CPUs that have ever run a vCPU for the guest, i.e. don't flush the
     caches for CPUs that can't possibly have cache lines with dirty,
     encrypted data

  Generic:

   - Rework irqbypass to track/match producers and consumers via an
     xarray instead of a linked list. Using a linked list leads to
     O(n^2) insertion times, which is hugely problematic for use cases
     that create large numbers of VMs. Such use cases typically don't
     actually use irqbypass, but eliminating the pointless registration
     is a future problem to solve as it likely requires new uAPI

   - Track irqbypass's "token" as "struct eventfd_ctx *" instead of a
     "void *", to avoid making a simple concept unnecessarily difficult
     to understand

   - Decouple device posted IRQs from VFIO device assignment, as binding
     a VM to a VFIO group is not a requirement for enabling device
     posted IRQs

   - Clean up and document/comment the irqfd assignment code

   - Disallow binding multiple irqfds to an eventfd with a priority
     waiter, i.e. ensure an eventfd is bound to at most one irqfd
     through the entire host, and add a selftest to verify eventfd:irqfd
     bindings are globally unique

   - Add a tracepoint for KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES to help debug issues
     related to private &lt;=&gt; shared memory conversions

   - Drop guest_memfd's .getattr() implementation as the VFS layer will
     call generic_fillattr() if inode_operations.getattr is NULL

   - Fix issues with dirty ring harvesting where KVM doesn't bound the
     processing of entries in any way, which allows userspace to keep
     KVM in a tight loop indefinitely

   - Kill off kvm_arch_{start,end}_assignment() and x86's associated
     tracking, now that KVM no longer uses assigned_device_count as a
     heuristic for either irqbypass usage or MDS mitigation

  Selftests:

   - Fix a comment typo

   - Verify KVM is loaded when getting any KVM module param so that
     attempting to run a selftest without kvm.ko loaded results in a
     SKIP message about KVM not being loaded/enabled (versus some random
     parameter not existing)

   - Skip tests that hit EACCES when attempting to access a file, and
     print a "Root required?" help message. In most cases, the test just
     needs to be run with elevated permissions"

Pull runtime verification updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Added Linear temporal logic monitors for RT application

   Real-time applications may have design flaws causing them to have
   unexpected latency. For example, the applications may raise page
   faults, or may be blocked trying to take a mutex without priority
   inheritance.

   However, while attempting to implement DA monitors for these
   real-time rules, deterministic automaton is found to be inappropriate
   as the specification language. The automaton is complicated, hard to
   understand, and error-prone.

   For these cases, linear temporal logic is found to be more suitable.
   The LTL is more concise and intuitive.

 - Make printk_deferred() public

   The new monitors needed access to printk_deferred(). Make them
   visible for the entire kernel.

 - Add a vpanic() to allow for va_list to be passed to panic.

 - Add rtapp container monitor.

   A collection of monitors that check for common problems with
   real-time applications that cause unexpected latency.

 - Add page fault tracepoints to risc-v

   These tracepoints are necessary to for the RV monitor to run on
   risc-v.

 - Fix the behaviour of the rv tool with -s and idle tasks.

 - Allow the rv tool to gracefully terminate with SIGTERM

 - Adjusts dot2c not to create lines over 100 columns

 - Properly order nested monitors in the RV Kconfig file

 - Return the registration error in all DA monitor instead of 0

 - Update and add new sched collection monitors

   Replace tss and sncid monitors with more complete sts:

   Not only prove that switches occur in scheduling context and scheduling
   needs interrupt disabled but also that each call to the scheduler
   disables interrupts to (optionally) switch.

   New monitor: nrp
     Preemption requires need resched which is cleared by any switch
     (includes a non optimal workaround for /nested/ preemptions)

   New monitor: sssw
     suspension requires setting the task to sleepable and, after the
     switch occurs, the task requires a wakeup to come back to runnable

   New monitor: opid
      waking and need-resched operations occur with interrupts and
      preemption disabled or in IRQ without explicitly disabling
      preemption"

     entire scheduler code base (Ingo Molnar)

   - Make SMP unconditional: build the SMP scheduler's data structures

     simplify the scheduler and remove around 200 #ifdef/[#else]/#endif
     blocks from the scheduler (Ingo Molnar)

     priority waiters.

     Currently limited to a single runqueue and conditional on
     CONFIG_EXPERT, and other limitations (John Stultz, Peter Zijlstra,

KVM IRQ changes for 6.17

 - Rework irqbypass to track/match producers and consumers via an xarray
   instead of a linked list.  Using a linked list leads to O(n^2) insertion
   times, which is hugely problematic for use cases that create large numbers
   of VMs.  Such use cases typically don't actually use irqbypass, but
   eliminating the pointless registration is a future problem to solve as it
   likely requires new uAPI.

 - Track irqbypass's "token" as "struct eventfd_ctx *" instead of a "void *",
   to avoid making a simple concept unnecessarily difficult to understand.

 - Add CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC for x86 to allow disabling support for I/O APIC, PIC,
   and PIT emulation at compile time.

 - Drop x86's irq_comm.c, and move a pile of IRQ related code into irq.c.

 - Fix a variety of flaws and bugs in the AVIC device posted IRQ code.

 - Inhibited AVIC if a vCPU's ID is too big (relative to what hardware
   supports) instead of rejecting vCPU creation.

 - Extend enable_ipiv module param support to SVM, by simply leaving IsRunning
   clear in the vCPU's physical ID table entry.

 - Disable IPI virtualization, via enable_ipiv, if the CPU is affected by
   erratum #1235, to allow (safely) enabling AVIC on such CPUs.

 - Dedup x86's device posted IRQ code, as the vast majority of functionality
   can be shared verbatime between SVM and VMX.

 - Harden the device posted IRQ code against bugs and runtime errors.

 - Use vcpu_idx, not vcpu_id, for GA log tag/metadata, to make lookups O(1)
   instead of O(n).

 - Generate GA Log interrupts if and only if the target vCPU is blocking, i.e.
   only if KVM needs a notification in order to wake the vCPU.

 - Decouple device posted IRQs from VFIO device assignment, as binding a VM to
   a VFIO group is not a requirement for enabling device posted IRQs.

 - Clean up and document/comment the irqfd assignment code.

 - Disallow binding multiple irqfds to an eventfd with a priority waiter, i.e.
   ensure an eventfd is bound to at most one irqfd through the entire host,
   and add a selftest to verify eventfd:irqfd bindings are globally unique.

KVM IRQ changes for 6.17

 - Rework irqbypass to track/match producers and consumers via an xarray
   instead of a linked list.  Using a linked list leads to O(n^2) insertion
   times, which is hugely problematic for use cases that create large numbers
   of VMs.  Such use cases typically don't actually use irqbypass, but
   eliminating the pointless registration is a future problem to solve as it
   likely requires new uAPI.

 - Track irqbypass's "token" as "struct eventfd_ctx *" instead of a "void *",
   to avoid making a simple concept unnecessarily difficult to understand.

 - Add CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC for x86 to allow disabling support for I/O APIC, PIC,
   and PIT emulation at compile time.

 - Drop x86's irq_comm.c, and move a pile of IRQ related code into irq.c.

 - Fix a variety of flaws and bugs in the AVIC device posted IRQ code.

 - Inhibited AVIC if a vCPU's ID is too big (relative to what hardware
   supports) instead of rejecting vCPU creation.

 - Extend enable_ipiv module param support to SVM, by simply leaving IsRunning
   clear in the vCPU's physical ID table entry.

 - Disable IPI virtualization, via enable_ipiv, if the CPU is affected by
   erratum #1235, to allow (safely) enabling AVIC on such CPUs.

Add the following tracepoint:
* sched_set_need_resched(tsk, cpu, tif)
    Called when a task is set the need resched [lazy] flag

Remove the unused ip parameter from sched_entry and sched_exit and alter
sched_entry to have a value of preempt consistent with the one used in
sched_switch.

Also adapt all monitors using sched_{entry,exit} to avoid breaking build.

These tracepoints are useful to describe the Linux task model and are
adapted from the patches by Daniel Bristot de Oliveira
(https://bristot.me/linux-task-model/).

Pull scheduler fix from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A single fix for the scheduler.

  A recent commit changed the runqueue counter nr_uninterruptible to an
  unsigned int. Due to the fact that the counters are not updated on
  migration of a uninterruptble task to a different CPU, these counters
  can exceed INT_MAX.

  The counter is cast to long in the load average calculation, which
  means that the cast expands into negative space resulting in bogus
  load average values.

  Convert it back to unsigned long to fix this.
