  8974eb588283b7d4 ("x86/speculation: Add Gather Data Sampling mitigation")

That cause no changes to tooling:

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "ARM:

   - Clean up vCPU targets, always returning generic v8 as the preferred
     target

   - Trap forwarding infrastructure for nested virtualization (used for
     traps that are taken from an L2 guest and are needed by the L1
     hypervisor)

   - FEAT_TLBIRANGE support to only invalidate specific ranges of
     addresses when collapsing a table PTE to a block PTE. This avoids
     that the guest refills the TLBs again for addresses that aren't
     covered by the table PTE.

   - Fix vPMU issues related to handling of PMUver.

   - Don't unnecessary align non-stack allocations in the EL2 VA space

   - Drop HCR_VIRT_EXCP_MASK, which was never used...

   - Don't use smp_processor_id() in kvm_arch_vcpu_load(), but the cpu
     parameter instead

   - Drop redundant call to kvm_set_pfn_accessed() in user_mem_abort()

   - Remove prototypes without implementations

  RISC-V:

   - Zba, Zbs, Zicntr, Zicsr, Zifencei, and Zihpm support for guest

   - Added ONE_REG interface for SATP mode

   - Added ONE_REG interface to enable/disable multiple ISA extensions

   - Improved error codes returned by ONE_REG interfaces

   - Added KVM_GET_REG_LIST ioctl() implementation for KVM RISC-V

   - Added get-reg-list selftest for KVM RISC-V

  s390:

   - PV crypto passthrough enablement (Tony, Steffen, Viktor, Janosch)

     Allows a PV guest to use crypto cards. Card access is governed by
     the firmware and once a crypto queue is "bound" to a PV VM every
     other entity (PV or not) looses access until it is not bound
     anymore. Enablement is done via flags when creating the PV VM.

   - Guest debug fixes (Ilya)

  x86:

   - Clean up KVM's handling of Intel architectural events

   - Intel bugfixes

   - Add support for SEV-ES DebugSwap, allowing SEV-ES guests to use
     debug registers and generate/handle #DBs

   - Clean up LBR virtualization code

   - Fix a bug where KVM fails to set the target pCPU during an IRTE
     update

   - Fix fatal bugs in SEV-ES intrahost migration

   - Fix a bug where the recent (architecturally correct) change to
     reinject #BP and skip INT3 broke SEV guests (can't decode INT3 to
     skip it)

   - Retry APIC map recalculation if a vCPU is added/enabled

   - Overhaul emergency reboot code to bring SVM up to par with VMX, tie
     the "emergency disabling" behavior to KVM actually being loaded,
     and move all of the logic within KVM

   - Fix user triggerable WARNs in SVM where KVM incorrectly assumes the
     TSC ratio MSR cannot diverge from the default when TSC scaling is
     disabled up related code

   - Add a framework to allow "caching" feature flags so that KVM can
     check if the guest can use a feature without needing to search
     guest CPUID

   - Rip out the ancient MMU_DEBUG crud and replace the useful bits with
     CONFIG_KVM_PROVE_MMU

   - Fix KVM's handling of !visible guest roots to avoid premature
     triple fault injection

   - Overhaul KVM's page-track APIs, and KVMGT's usage, to reduce the
     API surface that is needed by external users (currently only
     KVMGT), and fix a variety of issues in the process

  Generic:

   - Wrap kvm_{gfn,hva}_range.pte in a union to allow mmu_notifier
     events to pass action specific data without needing to constantly
     update the main handlers.

   - Drop unused function declarations

  Selftests:

   - Add testcases to x86's sync_regs_test for detecting KVM TOCTOU bugs

   - Add support for printf() in guest code and covert all guest asserts
     to use printf-based reporting

   - Clean up the PMU event filter test and add new testcases

   - Include x86 selftests in the KVM x86 MAINTAINERS entry"

Pull x86 apic updates from Dave Hansen:
 "This includes a very thorough rework of the 'struct apic' handlers.
  Quite a variety of them popped up over the years, especially in the
  32-bit days when odd apics were much more in vogue.

  The end result speaks for itself, which is a removal of a ton of code
  and static calls to replace indirect calls.

  If there's any breakage here, it's likely to be around the 32-bit
  museum pieces that get light to no testing these days.

  Summary:

   - Rework apic callbacks, getting rid of unnecessary ones and
     coalescing lots of silly duplicates.

   - Use static_calls() instead of indirect calls for apic-&gt;foo()

   - Tons of cleanups an crap removal along the way"

<content type='text'>
Unifying the asm-generic headers across 32-bit and 64-bit architectures
based on the compiler provided macros was a good idea and appears to work
with all user space, but it caused a regression when building old kernels
on systems that have the new headers installed in /usr/include, as this
combination trips an inconsistency in the kernel's own tools/include
headers that are a mix of userspace and kernel-internal headers.

This affects kernel builds on arm64, riscv64 and loongarch64 systems that
might end up using the "#define __BITS_PER_LONG 32" default from the old
tools headers. Backporting the commit into stable kernels would address
this, but it would still break building kernels without that backport,
and waste time for developers trying to understand the problem.

arm64 build machines are rather common, and on riscv64 this can also
happen in practice, but loongarch64 is probably new enough to not
be used much for building old kernels, so only revert the bits
for arm64 and riscv.

Pull perf tools fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

 - Revert a patch that unconditionally resolved addresses to inlines in
   callchains, something that was done before when DWARF mode was asked
   for, but could as well be done when just frame pointers (the default)
   was selected.

   This enriches the callchains with inlines but the way to resolve it
   is gross right now, relying on addr2line, and even if we come up with
   an efficient way of processing all the associated DWARF info for a
   big file as vmlinux is, this has to be something people opt-in, as it
   will still result in overheads, so revert it until we get this done
   in a saner way.

 - Update the x86 msr-index.h header with the kernel original, no change
   in tooling output, just addresses a tools/perf build warning.

  - Resolve a regression where special "tool events", such as
    "duration_time" were being presented for all CPUs, when it only
    makes sense to show it for the workload, that is, just once.

To pick up the changes from these csets:

  522b1d69219d8f08 ("x86/cpu/amd: Add a Zenbleed fix")

That cause no changes to tooling:

  $ tools/perf/trace/beauty/tracepoints/x86_msr.sh &gt; before
  $ cp arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h tools/arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h
  $ tools/perf/trace/beauty/tracepoints/x86_msr.sh &gt; after
  $ diff -u before after
  $

Just silences this perf build warning:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header differences:
