Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Features:
- Cheaper MAY_EXEC handling for path lookup. This elides MAY_WRITE
permission checks during path lookup and adds the
IOP_FASTPERM_MAY_EXEC flag so filesystems like btrfs can avoid
expensive permission work.
- Hide dentry_cache behind runtime const machinery.
- Add German Maglione as virtiofs co-maintainer.
Cleanups:
- Tidy up and inline step_into() and walk_component() for improved
code generation.
- Re-enable IOCB_NOWAIT writes to files. This refactors file
timestamp update logic, fixing a layering bypass in btrfs when
updating timestamps on device files and improving FMODE_NOCMTIME
handling in VFS now that nfsd started using it.
- Path lookup optimizations extracting slowpaths into dedicated
routines and adding branch prediction hints for mntput_no_expire(),
fd_install(), lookup_slow(), and various other hot paths.
- Enable clang's -fms-extensions flag, requiring a JFS rename to
avoid conflicts.
- Remove spurious exports in fs/file_attr.c.
- Stop duplicating union pipe_index declaration. This depends on the
shared kbuild branch that brings in -fms-extensions support which
is merged into this branch.
- Use MD5 library instead of crypto_shash in ecryptfs.
- Use largest_zero_folio() in iomap_dio_zero().
- Replace simple_strtol/strtoul with kstrtoint/kstrtouint in init and
initrd code.
- Various typo fixes.
Fixes:
- Fix emergency sync for btrfs. Btrfs requires an explicit sync_fs()
call with wait == 1 to commit super blocks. The emergency sync path
never passed this, leaving btrfs data uncommitted during emergency
sync.
- Use local kmap in watch_queue's post_one_notification().
- Add hint prints in sb_set_blocksize() for LBS dependency on THP"

Rust 1.93.0 (expected 2026-01-22) is stabilizing `-Zno-jump-tables`
[1][2] as `-Cjump-tables=n` [3].
Without this change, one would eventually see:
RUSTC L rust/core.o
error: unknown unstable option: `no-jump-tables`
Thus support the upcoming version.

This is a follow up to commit c4781dc3d1cf ("Kbuild: enable
-fms-extensions") but in a separate change due to being substantially
different from the initial submission.
There are many places within the kernel that use their own CFLAGS
instead of the main KBUILD_CFLAGS, meaning code written with the main
kernel's use of '-fms-extensions' in mind that may be tangentially
included in these areas will result in "error: declaration does not
declare anything" messages from the compiler.
Add '-fms-extensions' to all these areas to ensure consistency, along
with -Wno-microsoft-anon-tag to silence clang's warning about use of the
extension that the kernel cares about using. parisc does not build with
clang so it does not need this warning flag. LoongArch does not need it
either because -W flags from KBUILD_FLAGS are pulled into cflags-vdso.

Leyvi Rose reported that his X86_NATIVE_CPU=y build is failing because our
instruction decoder doesn't support SSE4a and the AMDGPU code seems to be
generating those with his compiler of choice (CLANG+LTO).
Now, our normal build flags disable SSE MMX SSE2 3DNOW AVX, but then
CC_FLAGS_FPU re-enable SSE SSE2.
Since nothing mentions SSE3 or SSE4, I'm assuming that -msse (or its negative)
control all SSE variants -- but why then explicitly enumerate SSE2 ?
Anyway, until the instruction decoder gets fixed, explicitly disallow SSE4a
(an AMD specific SSE4 extension).

Pull x86 SEV and apic updates from Borislav Petkov:
- Add functionality to provide runtime firmware updates for the non-x86
parts of an AMD platform like the security processor (ASP) firmware,
modules etc, for example. The intent being that these updates are
interim, live fixups before a proper BIOS update can be attempted
- Add guest support for AMD's Secure AVIC feature which gives encrypted
guests the needed protection against a malicious hypervisor
generating unexpected interrupts and injecting them into such guest,
thus interfering with its operation in an unexpected and negative
manner.
The advantage of this scheme is that the guest determines which
interrupts and when to accept them vs leaving that to the benevolence
(or not) of the hypervisor
- Strictly separate the startup code from the rest of the kernel where
former is executed from the initial 1:1 mapping of memory.
The problem was that the toolchain-generated version of the code was
being executed from a different mapping of memory than what was
"assumed" during code generation, needing an ever-growing pile of
fixups for absolute memory references which are invalid in the early,
1:1 memory mapping during boot.
The major advantage of this is that there's no need to check the 1:1
mapping portion of the code for absolute relocations anymore and get
rid of the RIP_REL_REF() macro sprinkling all over the place.

Using core-y is not the correct way to get kbuild to descend into
arch/x86/boot/startup. For instance, building an individual object does
not work as expected when the pattern rule is local to the Makefile
$ make arch/x86/boot/startup/map_kernel.pi.o
GEN Makefile
CALL /home/ardb/linux/scripts/checksyscalls.sh
DESCEND objtool
INSTALL libsubcmd_headers
make[3]: *** No rule to make target 'arch/x86/boot/startup/map_kernel.pi.o'. Stop.
make[2]: *** [/home/ardb/linux/scripts/Makefile.build:461: arch/x86] Error 2
make[1]: *** [/home/ardb/linux/Makefile:2011: .] Error 2
make: *** [/home/ardb/linux/Makefile:248: __sub-make] Error 2
So use obj-y from arch.x86/Kbuild instead, which makes things work as
expected.

The minimum supported version of GCC to build the x86 kernel was bumped
to GCC 8.1 in
a3e8fe814ad1 ("x86/build: Raise the minimum GCC version to 8.1").
Prior to GCC 7.1, '-mpreferred-stack-boundary=3' was not allowed with
'-msse', so areas of the kernel that needed floating point had a
different alignment. Now that GCC > 7.1 is mandatory, there is no need
to have a different value of '-mpreferred-stack-boundary' from the rest
of the kernel, so remove this handling from CC_FLAGS_FPU.

'-mpreferred-stack-boundary' (the GCC option) and '-mstack-alignment'
(the clang option) have been supported in their respective compilers for
some time, so it is unnecessary to check for support for them via
cc-option. '-mpreferred-stack-boundary=3' had a restriction on
'-mno-sse' until GCC 7.1 but that is irrelevant for most of the kernel,
which includes '-mno-sse'.
Move to simple Kconfig checks to avoid querying the compiler for the
flags that it supports.

The 5-level paging trampoline is used by both the EFI stub and the
traditional decompressor. Move it out of the decompressor sources into
the newly minted arch/x86/boot/startup/ sub-directory which will hold
startup code that may be shared between the decompressor, the EFI stub
and the kernel proper, and needs to tolerate being called during early
boot, before the kernel virtual mapping has been created.
This will allow the 5-level paging trampoline to be used by EFI boot
images such as zboot that omit the traditional decompressor entirely.

It turns out the code to generate the x86 cpufeaturemasks.h header was
way too aggressive, and would re-generate it whenever the timestamp on
the kernel config file changed.
Now, the regular 'make *config' tools are fairly careful to not rewrite
the kernel config file unless the contents change, but other usecases
aren't that careful.
Michael Kelley reports that 'make-kpkg' ends up doing "make syncconfig"
multiple times in prepping to build, and will modify the config file in
the process (and then modify it back, but by then the timestamps have
changed).
Jakub Kicinski reports that the netdev CI does something similar in how
it generates the config file in multiple steps.
In both cases, the config file timestamp updates then cause the
cpufeaturemasks.h file to be regenerated, and that in turn then causes
lots of unnecessary rebuilds due to all the normal dependencies.
Fix it by using our 'filechk' infrastructure in the Makefile to generate
the header file. That will only write a new version of the file if the
contents of the file have actually changed.

kernel with '-march=native'
Add a 'native' option that allows users to build an optimized kernel for
their local machine (i.e. the machine which is used to build the kernel)
by passing '-march=native' to CFLAGS.
The idea comes from Linus' reply to Arnd's initial proposal:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=wji1sV93yKbc==Z7OSSHBiDE=LAdG_d5Y-zPBrnSs0k2A@mail.gmail.com/
Here are some numbers comparing 'generic' to 'native' on a Skylake dual-core
laptop (generic --> native):
- vmlinux and compressed modules size:
125'907'744 bytes --> 125'595'280 bytes (-0.248 %)
18'810 kilobytes --> 18'770 kilobytes (-0.213 %)
- phoronix, average of 3 runs:
ffmpeg:
130.99 --> 131.15 (+0.122 %)
nginx:
10'650 --> 10'725 (+0.704 %)
hackbench (lower is better):
102.27 --> 99.50 (-2.709 %)
- xz compression of firefox tarball (lower is better):
319.57 seconds --> 317.34 seconds (-0.698 %)
- stress-ng, bogoops, average of 3 15-second runs:
fork:
111'744 --> 115'509 (+3.397 %)
bsearch:
7'211 --> 7'436 (+3.120 %)
memfd:
3'591 --> 3'604 (+0.362 %)
mmapfork:
630 --> 629 (-0.159 %)
schedmix:
42'715 --> 43'251 (+1.255 %)
epoll:
2'443'767 --> 2'454'413 (+0.436 %)
vm:
1'442'256 --> 1'486'615 (+3.076 %)
- schbench (two message threads), 30-second runs:
304 rps --> 305 rps (+0.329 %)
There is little difference both in terms of size and of performance, however
the native build comes out on top ever so slightly.

config
Introduce an AWK script to auto-generate the <asm/cpufeaturemasks.h> header
with required and disabled feature masks based on <asm/cpufeatures.h>
and the current build config.
Thus for any CPU feature with a build config, e.g., X86_FRED, simply add:
config X86_DISABLED_FEATURE_FRED
def_bool y
depends on !X86_FRED
to arch/x86/Kconfig.cpufeatures, instead of adding a conditional CPU
feature disable flag, e.g., DISABLE_FRED.
Lastly, the generated required and disabled feature masks will be added to
their corresponding feature masks for this particular compile-time
configuration.

Some architectures build vmlinux with static relocations preserved, but
strip them again from the final vmlinux image. Arch specific tools
consume these static relocations in order to construct relocation tables
for KASLR.
The fact that vmlinux is created, consumed and subsequently updated goes
against the typical, declarative paradigm used by Make, which is based
on rules and dependencies. So as a first step towards cleaning this up,
introduce a Kconfig symbol to declare that the arch wants to consume the
static relocations emitted into vmlinux. This will be wired up further
in subsequent patches.

The x86 CPU selection menu is confusing for a number of reasons:
When configuring 32-bit kernels, it shows a small number of early 64-bit
microarchitectures (K8, Core 2) but not the regular generic 64-bit target
that is the normal default. There is no longer a reason to run 32-bit
kernels on production 64-bit systems, so only actual 32-bit CPUs need
to be shown here.
When configuring 64-bit kernels, the options also pointless as there is
no way to pick any CPU from the past 15 years, leaving GENERIC_CPU as
the only sensible choice.
Address both of the above by removing the obsolete options and making
all 64-bit kernels run on both Intel and AMD CPUs from any generation.
Testing generic 32-bit kernels on 64-bit hardware remains possible,
just not building a 32-bit kernel that requires a 64-bit CPU.

Building an x86-64 kernel with CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU is documented to
run on all CPUs, but the Makefile does not actually pass an -march=
argument, instead relying on the default that was used to configure
the toolchain.
In many cases, gcc will be configured to -march=x86-64 or -march=k8
for maximum compatibility, but in other cases a distribution default
may be either raised to a more recent ISA, or set to -march=native
to build for the CPU used for compilation. This still works in the
case of building a custom kernel for the local machine.
The point where it breaks down is building a kernel for another
machine that is older the the default target. Changing the default
to -march=x86-64 would make it work reliable, but possibly produce
worse code on distros that intentionally default to a newer ISA.
To allow reliably building a kernel for either the oldest x86-64
CPUs, pass the -march=x86-64 flag to the compiler. This was not
possible in early versions of x86-64 gcc, but works on all currently
supported versions down to at least gcc-5.

Older versions of GCC fixed the location of the stack protector canary
at %gs:40. This constraint forced the percpu section to be linked at
absolute address 0 so that the canary could be the first data object in
the percpu section. Supporting the zero-based percpu section requires
additional code to handle relocations for RIP-relative references to
percpu data, extra complexity to kallsyms, and workarounds for linker
bugs due to the use of absolute symbols.
GCC 8.1 supports redefining where the canary is located, allowing it to
become a normal percpu variable instead of at a fixed location. This
removes the constraint that the percpu section must be zero-based.

GCC and Clang both implement stack protector support based on Thread Local
Storage (TLS) variables, and this is used in the kernel to implement per-task
stack cookies, by copying a task's stack cookie into a per-CPU variable every
time it is scheduled in.
Both now also implement -mstack-protector-guard-symbol=, which permits the TLS
variable to be specified directly. This is useful because it will allow to
move away from using a fixed offset of 40 bytes into the per-CPU area on
x86_64, which requires a lot of special handling in the per-CPU code and the
runtime relocation code.
However, while GCC is rather lax in its implementation of this command line
option, Clang actually requires that the provided symbol name refers to a TLS
variable (i.e., one declared with __thread), although it also permits the
variable to be undeclared entirely, in which case it will use an implicit
declaration of the right type.
The upshot of this is that Clang will emit the correct references to the stack
cookie variable in most cases, e.g.,
10d: 64 a1 00 00 00 00 mov %fs:0x0,%eax
10f: R_386_32 __stack_chk_guard
However, if a non-TLS definition of the symbol in question is visible in the
same compilation unit (which amounts to the whole of vmlinux if LTO is
enabled), it will drop the per-CPU prefix and emit a load from a bogus
address.
Work around this by using a symbol name that never occurs in C code, and emit
it as an alias in the linker script.

Make it possible to use the Control Flow Integrity (CFI) sanitizer when
Rust is enabled. Enabling CFI with Rust requires that CFI is configured
to normalize integer types so that all integer types of the same size
and signedness are compatible under CFI.
Rust and C use the same LLVM backend for code generation, so Rust KCFI
is compatible with the KCFI used in the kernel for C. In the case of
FineIBT, CFI also depends on -Zpatchable-function-entry for rewriting
the function prologue, so we set that flag for Rust as well. The flag
for FineIBT requires rustc 1.80.0 or later, so include a Kconfig
requirement for that.
Enabling Rust will select CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS because the flag
is required to use Rust with CFI. Using select rather than `depends on`
avoids the case where Rust is not visible in menuconfig due to
CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS not being enabled. One disadvantage of
select is that RUST must `depends on` all of the things that
CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS depends on to avoid invalid configurations.
Alice has been using KCFI on her phone for several months, so it is
reasonably well tested on arm64.

Support `MITIGATION_RETPOLINE` by enabling the target features that
Clang does.
The existing target feature being enabled was a leftover from
our old `rust` branch, and it is not enough: the target feature
`retpoline-external-thunk` only implies `retpoline-indirect-calls`, but
not `retpoline-indirect-branches` (see LLVM's `X86.td`), unlike Clang's
flag of the same name `-mretpoline-external-thunk` which does imply both
(see Clang's `lib/Driver/ToolChains/Arch/X86.cpp`).
Without this, `objtool` would complain if enabled for Rust, e.g.:
rust/core.o: warning: objtool:
_R...escape_default+0x13: indirect jump found in RETPOLINE build
In addition, change the comment to note that LLVM is the one disabling
jump tables when retpoline is enabled, thus we do not need to use
`-Zno-jump-tables` for Rust here -- see commit c58f2166ab39 ("Introduce
the "retpoline" x86 mitigation technique ...") [1]:
The goal is simple: avoid generating code which contains an indirect
branch that could have its prediction poisoned by an attacker. In
many cases, the compiler can simply use directed conditional
branches and a small search tree. LLVM already has support for
lowering switches in this way and the first step of this patch is
to disable jump-table lowering of switches and introduce a pass to
rewrite explicit indirectbr sequences into a switch over integers.
As well as a live example at [2].
These should be eventually enabled via `-Ctarget-feature` when `rustc`
starts recognizing them (or via a new dedicated flag) [3].

Various Kconfig options selected the per-architecture helpers for
fbdev. But none of the contained code depends on fbdev. Standardize
on CONFIG_VIDEO, which will allow to add more general helpers for
video functionality.
CONFIG_VIDEO protects each architecture's video/ directory. This
allows for the use of more fine-grained control for each directory's
files, such as the use of CONFIG_STI_CORE on parisc.

This is problematic when you build a single object in parallel because
multiple threads attempt to build the same file.

Pull core x86 updates from Ingo Molnar:
- The biggest change is the rework of the percpu code, to support the
'Named Address Spaces' GCC feature, by Uros Bizjak:
- This allows C code to access GS and FS segment relative memory
via variables declared with such attributes, which allows the
compiler to better optimize those accesses than the previous
inline assembly code.
- The series also includes a number of micro-optimizations for
various percpu access methods, plus a number of cleanups of %gs
accesses in assembly code.
- These changes have been exposed to linux-next testing for the
last ~5 months, with no known regressions in this area.
- Fix/clean up __switch_to()'s broken but accidentally working handling
of FPU switching - which also generates better code
- Propagate more RIP-relative addressing in assembly code, to generate
slightly better code
- Rework the CPU mitigations Kconfig space to be less idiosyncratic, to
make it easier for distros to follow & maintain these options
- Rework the x86 idle code to cure RCU violations and to clean up the
logic
- Clean up the vDSO Makefile logic
- Misc cleanups and fixes

Now that the minimum supported version of LLVM for building the kernel has
been bumped to 13.0.1, the inner ifeq statement is always false, as the
build will fail during the configuration stage for older LLVM versions.
This effectively reverts part of commit b33fff07e3e3 ("x86, build: allow
LTO to be selected") and its follow up fix, commit 2398ce80152a ("x86,
lto: Pass -stack-alignment only on LLD < 13.0.0").

GNU Make manual [1] clearly forbids a tab at the beginning of the
conditional directive line:
"Extra spaces are allowed and ignored at the beginning of the
conditional directive line, but a tab is not allowed."
This will not work for the next release of GNU Make, hence commit
82175d1f9430 ("kbuild: Replace tabs with spaces when followed by
conditionals") replaced the inappropriate tabs with 8 spaces.
However, the 8-space indentation cannot be visually distinguished.
Linus suggested 2-4 spaces for those nested if-statements. [2]
This commit redoes the replacement with 4 spaces.

Eventually we want all architectures to be using the target as defined
by rustc. However currently some architectures can't do that and are
using the target.json specification. This puts in place the foundation
to allow the use of the builtin target definition or a target.json
specification.

This is needed for the future (post make-4.4.1) versions of gnu make.
Starting from https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/make.git/commit/?id=07fcee35f058a876447c8a021f9eb1943f902534
gnu make won't allow conditionals to follow recipe prefix.
For example there is a tab followed by ifeq on line 324 in the root Makefile.
With the new make this conditional causes the following
$ make cpu.o
/home/dgoncharov/src/linux-kbuild/Makefile:2063: *** missing 'endif'. Stop.
make: *** [Makefile:240: __sub-make] Error 2
This patch replaces tabs followed by conditionals with 8 spaces.

Pull x86 TDX updates from Dave Hansen:
"The majority of this is a rework of the assembly and C wrappers that
are used to talk to the TDX module and VMM. This is a nice cleanup in
general but is also clearing the way for using this code when Linux is
the TDX VMM.
There are also some tidbits to make TDX guests play nicer with Hyper-V
and to take advantage the hardware TSC.
Summary:
- Refactor and clean up TDX hypercall/module call infrastructure
- Handle retrying/resuming page conversion hypercalls
- Make sure to use the (shockingly) reliable TSC in TDX guests"
