2025-11-19arm_mpam: Add probe/remove for mpam msc driver and kbuild boiler plateJames Morse
Probing MPAM is convoluted. MSCs that are integrated with a CPU may only be accessible from those CPUs, and they may not be online. Touching the hardware early is pointless as MPAM can't be used until the system-wide common values for num_partid and num_pmg have been discovered. Start with driver probe/remove and mapping the MSC.

2025-11-19ACPI / MPAM: Parse the MPAM tableJames Morse
Add code to parse the arm64 specific MPAM table, looking up the cache level from the PPTT and feeding the end result into the MPAM driver. This happens in two stages. Platform devices are created first for the MSC devices. Once the driver probes it calls acpi_mpam_parse_resources() to discover the RIS entries the MSC contains. For now the MPAM hook mpam_ris_create() is stubbed out, but will update the MPAM driver with optional discovered data about the RIS entries.

2025-11-19arm64: kconfig: Add Kconfig entry for MPAMJames Morse
The bulk of the MPAM driver lives outside the arch code because it largely manages MMIO devices that generate interrupts. The driver needs a Kconfig symbol to enable it. As MPAM is only found on arm64 platforms, the arm64 tree is the most natural home for the Kconfig option. This Kconfig option will later be used by the arch code to enable or disable the MPAM context-switch code, and to register properties of CPUs with the MPAM driver.

CPU features: - Advertise atomic floating-point instructions to userspace - Extend Spectre workarounds to cover additional Arm CPU variants - Extend list of CPUs that support break-before-make level 2 and guarantee not to generate TLB conflict aborts for changes of mapping granularity (BBML2_NOABORT) - Add GCS support to our uprobes implementation. Documentation: - Remove bogus SME documentation concerning register state when entering/exiting streaming mode. Entry code: - Switch over to the generic IRQ entry code (GENERIC_IRQ_ENTRY) - Micro-optimise syscall entry path with a compiler branch hint. Memory management: - Enable huge mappings in vmalloc space even when kernel page-table dumping is enabled - Tidy up the types used in our early MMU setup code - Rework rodata= for closer parity with the behaviour on x86 - For CPUs implementing BBML2_NOABORT, utilise block mappings in the linear map even when rodata= applies to virtual aliases - Don't re-allocate the virtual region between '_text' and '_stext', as doing so confused tools parsing /proc/vmcore. Miscellaneous: - Clean-up Kconfig menuconfig text for architecture features - Avoid redundant bitmap_empty() during determination of supported SME vector lengths - Re-enable warnings when building the 32-bit vDSO object - Avoid breaking our eggs at the wrong end. Perf and PMUs: - Support for v3 of the Hisilicon L3C PMU - Support for Hisilicon's MN and NoC PMUs - Support for Fujitsu's Uncore PMU - Support for SPE's extended event filtering feature - Preparatory work to enable data source filtering in SPE - Support for multiple lanes in the DWC PCIe PMU - Support for i.MX94 in the IMX DDR PMU driver - MAINTAINERS update (Thank you, Yicong) - Minor driver fixes (PERF_IDX2OFF() overflow, CMN register offsets). Selftests: - Add basic LSFE check to the existing hwcaps test - Support nolibc in GCS tests - Extend SVE ptrace test to pass unsupported regsets and invalid vector lengths - Minor cleanups (typos, cosmetic changes). System registers: - Fix ID_PFR1_EL1 definition - Fix incorrect signedness of some fields in ID_AA64MMFR4_EL1 - Sync TCR_EL1 definition with the latest Arm ARM (L.b) - Be stricter about the input fed into our AWK sysreg generator script - Typo fixes and removal of redundant definitions. ACPI, EFI and PSCI: - Decouple Arm's "Software Delegated Exception Interface" (SDEI) support from the ACPI GHES code so that it can be used by platforms booted with device-tree - Remove unnecessary per-CPU tracking of the FPSIMD state across EFI runtime calls - Fix a node refcount imbalance in the PSCI device-tree code. CPU Features: - Ensure register sanitisation is applied to fields in ID_AA64MMFR4 - Expose AIDR_EL1 to userspace via sysfs, primarily so that KVM guests can reliably query the underlying CPU types from the VMM - Re-enabling of SME support (CONFIG_ARM64_SME) as a result of fixes to our context-switching, signal handling and ptrace code" * tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (93 commits) arm64: cpufeature: Remove duplicate asm/mmu.h header arm64: Kconfig: Make CPU_BIG_ENDIAN depend on BROKEN perf/dwc_pcie: Fix use of uninitialized variable arm/syscalls: mark syscall invocation as likely in invoke_syscall Documentation: hisi-pmu: Add introduction to HiSilicon V3 PMU Documentation: hisi-pmu: Fix of minor format error drivers/perf: hisi: Add support for L3C PMU v3 drivers/perf: hisi: Refactor the event configuration of L3C PMU drivers/perf: hisi: Extend the field of tt_core drivers/perf: hisi: Extract the event filter check of L3C PMU drivers/perf: hisi: Simplify the probe process of each L3C PMU version drivers/perf: hisi: Export hisi_uncore_pmu_isr() drivers/perf: hisi: Relax the event ID check in the framework perf: Fujitsu: Add the Uncore PMU driver arm64: map [_text, _stext) virtual address range non-executable+read-only arm64/sysreg: Update TCR_EL1 register arm64: Enable vmalloc-huge with ptdump arm64: cpufeature: add Neoverse-V3AE to BBML2 allow list arm64: errata: Apply workarounds for Neoverse-V3AE arm64: cputype: Add Neoverse-V3AE definitions ...
2025-09-24kcfi: Rename CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFIKees Cook
The kernel's CFI implementation uses the KCFI ABI specifically, and is not strictly tied to a particular compiler. In preparation for GCC supporting KCFI, rename CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI (along with associated options). Use new "transitional" Kconfig option for old CONFIG_CFI_CLANG that will enable CONFIG_CFI during olddefconfig.

2025-09-24arm64: Kconfig: Make CPU_BIG_ENDIAN depend on BROKENWill Deacon
Big-endian arm64 configurations are vanishingly rare, yet we still claim to support them in Linux despite very limited testing or visible interest. Supporting big-endian adds unnecessary burden to reviewers and contributors which, without any known active users, is hard to justify. For example, recent work to improve our futex routines and to implement nested virtualisation support is non-trivially complicated by having to support both big- and little-endianness. Back in 2019 [1], it was claimed that Huawei were using arm64 big-endian machines in their telecommunication products but I don't know whether that's still the case and certainly haven't seen any patch contributions to help support or maintain it. Make CPU_BIG_ENDIAN depend on BROKEN as an initial deprecation step towards its removal.

2025-09-11arm64: entry: Switch to generic IRQ entryJinjie Ruan
Currently, x86, Riscv and Loongarch use the generic entry code, which makes maintainer's work easier and code more elegant. Start converting arm64 to use the generic entry infrastructure from kernel/entry/* by switching it to generic IRQ entry, which removes 100+ lines of duplicate code. arm64 will completely switch to generic entry in a later series. The changes are below: - Remove *enter_from/exit_to_kernel_mode(), and wrap with generic irqentry_enter/exit() as their code and functionality are almost identical. - Define ARCH_EXIT_TO_USER_MODE_WORK and implement arch_exit_to_user_mode_work() to check arm64-specific thread flags "_TIF_MTE_ASYNC_FAULT" and "_TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE". So also remove *enter_from/exit_to_user_mode(), and wrap with generic enter_from/exit_to_user_mode() because they are exactly the same. - Remove arm64_enter/exit_nmi() and use generic irqentry_nmi_enter/exit() because they're exactly the same, so the temporary arm64 version irqentry_state can also be removed. - Remove PREEMPT_DYNAMIC code, as generic irqentry_exit_cond_resched() has the same functionality. - Implement arch_irqentry_exit_need_resched() with arm64_preempt_schedule_irq() for arm64 which will allow arm64 to do its architecture specific checks.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: "As usual, many cleanups. The below blurbiage describes 42 patchsets. 21 of those are partially or fully cleanup work. "cleans up", "cleanup", "maintainability", "rationalizes", etc. I never knew the MM code was so dirty. "mm: ksm: prevent KSM from breaking merging of new VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes) addresses an issue with KSM's PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE mode: newly mapped VMAs were not eligible for merging with existing adjacent VMAs. "mm/damon: introduce DAMON_STAT for simple and practical access monitoring" (SeongJae Park) adds a new kernel module which simplifies the setup and usage of DAMON in production environments. "stop passing a writeback_control to swap/shmem writeout" (Christoph Hellwig) is a cleanup to the writeback code which removes a couple of pointers from struct writeback_control. "drivers/base/node.c: optimization and cleanups" (Donet Tom) contains largely uncorrelated cleanups to the NUMA node setup and management code. "mm: userfaultfd: assorted fixes and cleanups" (Tal Zussman) does some maintenance work on the userfaultfd code. "Readahead tweaks for larger folios" (Ryan Roberts) implements some tuneups for pagecache readahead when it is reading into order>0 folios. "selftests/mm: Tweaks to the cow test" (Mark Brown) provides some cleanups and consistency improvements to the selftests code. "Optimize mremap() for large folios" (Dev Jain) does that. A 37% reduction in execution time was measured in a memset+mremap+munmap microbenchmark. "Remove zero_user()" (Matthew Wilcox) expunges zero_user() in favor of the more modern memzero_page(). "mm/huge_memory: vmf_insert_folio_*() and vmf_insert_pfn_pud() fixes" (David Hildenbrand) addresses some warts which David noticed in the huge page code. These were not known to be causing any issues at this time. "mm/damon: use alloc_migrate_target() for DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD" (SeongJae Park) provides some cleanup and consolidation work in DAMON. "use vm_flags_t consistently" (Lorenzo Stoakes) uses vm_flags_t in places where we were inappropriately using other types. "mm/memfd: Reserve hugetlb folios before allocation" (Vivek Kasireddy) increases the reliability of large page allocation in the memfd code. "mm: Remove pXX_devmap page table bit and pfn_t type" (Alistair Popple) removes several now-unneeded PFN_* flags. "mm/damon: decouple sysfs from core" (SeongJae Park) implememnts some cleanup and maintainability work in the DAMON sysfs layer. "madvise cleanup" (Lorenzo Stoakes) does quite a lot of cleanup/maintenance work in the madvise() code. "madvise anon_name cleanups" (Vlastimil Babka) provides additional cleanups on top or Lorenzo's effort. "Implement numa node notifier" (Oscar Salvador) creates a standalone notifier for NUMA node memory state changes. Previously these were lumped under the more general memory on/offline notifier. "Make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a standalone bit" (Zi Yan) cleans up the pageblock isolation code and fixes a potential issue which doesn't seem to cause any problems in practice. "selftests/damon: add python and drgn based DAMON sysfs functionality tests" (SeongJae Park) adds additional drgn- and python-based DAMON selftests which are more comprehensive than the existing selftest suite. "Misc rework on hugetlb faulting path" (Oscar Salvador) fixes a rather obscure deadlock in the hugetlb fault code and follows that fix with a series of cleanups. "cma: factor out allocation logic from __cma_declare_contiguous_nid" (Mike Rapoport) rationalizes and cleans up the highmem-specific code in the CMA allocator. "mm/migration: rework movable_ops page migration (part 1)" (David Hildenbrand) provides cleanups and future-preparedness to the migration code. "mm/damon: add trace events for auto-tuned monitoring intervals and DAMOS quota" (SeongJae Park) adds some tracepoints to some DAMON auto-tuning code. "mm/damon: fix misc bugs in DAMON modules" (SeongJae Park) does that. "mm/damon: misc cleanups" (SeongJae Park) also does what it claims. "mm: folio_pte_batch() improvements" (David Hildenbrand) cleans up the large folio PTE batching code. "mm/damon/vaddr: Allow interleaving in migrate_{hot,cold} actions" (SeongJae Park) facilitates dynamic alteration of DAMON's inter-node allocation policy. "Remove unmap_and_put_page()" (Vishal Moola) provides a couple of page->folio conversions. "mm: per-node proactive reclaim" (Davidlohr Bueso) implements a per-node control of proactive reclaim - beyond the current memcg-based implementation. "mm/damon: remove damon_callback" (SeongJae Park) replaces the damon_callback interface with a more general and powerful damon_call()+damos_walk() interface. "mm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes) implements a number of mremap cleanups (of course) in preparation for adding new mremap() functionality: newly permit the remapping of multiple VMAs when the user is specifying MREMAP_FIXED. It still excludes some specialized situations where this cannot be performed reliably. "drop hugetlb_free_pgd_range()" (Anthony Yznaga) switches some sparc hugetlb code over to the generic version and removes the thus-unneeded hugetlb_free_pgd_range(). "mm/damon/sysfs: support periodic and automated stats update" (SeongJae Park) augments the present userspace-requested update of DAMON sysfs monitoring files. Automatic update is now provided, along with a tunable to control the update interval. "Some randome fixes and cleanups to swapfile" (Kemeng Shi) does what is claims. "mm: introduce snapshot_page" (Luiz Capitulino and David Hildenbrand) provides (and uses) a means by which debug-style functions can grab a copy of a pageframe and inspect it locklessly without tripping over the races inherent in operating on the live pageframe directly. "use per-vma locks for /proc/pid/maps reads" (Suren Baghdasaryan) addresses the large contention issues which can be triggered by reads from that procfs file. Latencies are reduced by more than half in some situations. The series also introduces several new selftests for the /proc/pid/maps interface. "__folio_split() clean up" (Zi Yan) cleans up __folio_split()! "Optimize mprotect() for large folios" (Dev Jain) provides some quite large (>3x) speedups to mprotect() when dealing with large folios. "selftests/mm: reuse FORCE_READ to replace "asm volatile("" : "+r" (XXX));" and some cleanup" (wang lian) does some cleanup work in the selftests code. "tools/testing: expand mremap testing" (Lorenzo Stoakes) extends the mremap() selftest in several ways, including adding more checking of Lorenzo's recently added "permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" feature.

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 <=> 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.

2025-07-23tracing: arm: arm64: Hide trace events ipi_raise, ipi_entry and ipi_exitSteven Rostedt
The ipi tracepoints are mostly generic, but the tracepoints ipi_raise, ipi_entry and ipi_exit are only used by arm and arm64. This means these trace events are wasting memory in all the other architectures that do not use them. Add CONFIG_HAVE_EXTRA_IPI_TRACEPOINTS and have arm and arm64 select it to enable these trace events. The config makes it easy if other architectures decide to trace these as well.

2025-07-22tracing: Remove redundant config HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORDSteven Rostedt
Ftrace is tightly coupled with architecture specific code because it requires the use of trampolines written in assembly. This means that when a new feature or optimization is made, it must be done for all architectures. To simplify the approach, CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_* configs are added to denote which architecture has the new enhancement so that other architectures can still function until they too have been updated. The CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT was added to help simplify the DYNAMIC_FTRACE work, but now every architecture that implements DYNAMIC_FTRACE also has HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT set too, making it redundant with the HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE. Remove the HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT config and use DYNAMIC_FTRACE directly where applicable.

In preparation for adding Clang sanitizer coverage stack depth tracking that can support stack depth callbacks: - Add the new top-level CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE option which will be implemented either with the stackleak GCC plugin, or with the Clang stack depth callback support. - Rename CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STACKLEAK as needed to CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE, but keep it for anything specific to the GCC plugin itself. - Rename all exposed "STACKLEAK" names and files to "KSTACK_ERASE" (named for what it does rather than what it protects against), but leave as many of the internals alone as possible to avoid even more churn. While here, also split "prev_lowest_stack" into CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE_METRICS, since that's the only place it is referenced from.

2025-07-09mm: remove devmap related functions and page table bitsAlistair Popple
Now that DAX and all other reference counts to ZONE_DEVICE pages are managed normally there is no need for the special devmap PTE/PMD/PUD page table bits. So drop all references to these, freeing up a software defined page table bit on architectures supporting it.

2025-07-08arm64: Mandate VMAP_STACKBreno Leitao
On arm64, VMAP_STACK has been enabled by default for a while now, and the only reason to disable it was a historical lack of support for KASAN_VMALLOC. Today there's no good reason to disable VMAP_STACK. Mandate VMAP_STACK, which will allow code to be simplified in subsequent patches.

2025-07-04arm64: Unconditionally select CONFIG_JUMP_LABELMarc Zyngier
Aneesh reports that his kernel fails to boot in nVHE mode with KVM's protected mode enabled. Further investigation by Mostafa reveals that this fails because CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL=n and that we have static keys shared between EL1 and EL2. While this can be worked around, it is obvious that we have long relied on having CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL enabled at all times, as all supported compilers now have 'asm goto' (which is the basic block for jump labels). Let's simplify our lives once and for all by mandating jump labels. It's not like anyone else is testing anything without them, and we already rely on them for other things (kfence, xfs, preempt).

2025-07-01arm64: Implement HAVE_LIVEPATCHSong Liu
Allocate a task flag used to represent the patch pending state for the task. When a livepatch is being loaded or unloaded, the livepatch code uses this flag to select the proper version of a being patched kernel functions to use for current task. In arch/arm64/Kconfig, select HAVE_LIVEPATCH and include proper Kconfig. This is largely based on [1] by Suraj Jitindar Singh.

2025-06-30lib/crc: arm64: Migrate optimized CRC code into lib/crc/Eric Biggers
Move the arm64-optimized CRC code from arch/arm64/lib/crc* into its new location in lib/crc/arm64/, and wire it up in the new way. This new way of organizing the CRC code eliminates the need to artificially split the code for each CRC variant into separate arch and generic modules, enabling better inlining and dead code elimination. For more details, see "lib/crc: Prepare for arch-optimized code in subdirs of lib/crc/". Reviewed-by: "Martin K.

2025-06-20arm64: stacktrace: Implement arch_stack_walk_reliable()Song Liu
Add arch_stack_walk_reliable(), which will be used during kernel live patching to detect when threads have completed executing old versions of functions. Note that arch_stack_walk_reliable() only needs to guarantee that it returns an error code when it cannot provide a reliable stacktrace. It is not required to provide a reliable stacktrace in all scenarios so long as it returns said error code. At present we can only reliably unwind up to an exception boundary. In future we should be able to improve this with additional data from the compiler (e.g. sframe).
