Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"Loongarch:
- Add more CPUCFG mask bits
- Improve feature detection
- Add lazy load support for FPU and binary translation (LBT) register
state
- Fix return value for memory reads from and writes to in-kernel
devices
- Add support for detecting preemption from within a guest
- Add KVM steal time test case to tools/selftests
ARM:
- Add support for FEAT_IDST, allowing ID registers that are not
implemented to be reported as a normal trap rather than as an UNDEF
exception
- Add sanitisation of the VTCR_EL2 register, fixing a number of
UXN/PXN/XN bugs in the process
- Full handling of RESx bits, instead of only RES0, and resulting in
SCTLR_EL2 being added to the list of sanitised registers
- More pKVM fixes for features that are not supposed to be exposed to
guests
- Make sure that MTE being disabled on the pKVM host doesn't give it
the ability to attack the hypervisor
- Allow pKVM's host stage-2 mappings to use the Force Write Back
version of the memory attributes by using the "pass-through'
encoding
- Fix trapping of ICC_DIR_EL1 on GICv5 hosts emulating GICv3 for the
guest
- Preliminary work for guest GICv5 support
- A bunch of debugfs fixes, removing pointless custom iterators
stored in guest data structures
- A small set of FPSIMD cleanups
- Selftest fixes addressing the incorrect alignment of page
allocation
- Other assorted low-impact fixes and spelling fixes
RISC-V:
- Fixes for issues discoverd by KVM API fuzzing in
kvm_riscv_aia_imsic_has_attr(), kvm_riscv_aia_imsic_rw_attr(), and
kvm_riscv_vcpu_aia_imsic_update()
- Allow Zalasr, Zilsd and Zclsd extensions for Guest/VM
- Transparent huge page support for hypervisor page tables
- Adjust the number of available guest irq files based on MMIO
register sizes found in the device tree or the ACPI tables
- Add RISC-V specific paging modes to KVM selftests
- Detect paging mode at runtime for selftests
s390:
- Performance improvement for vSIE (aka nested virtualization)
- Completely new memory management. s390 was a special snowflake that
enlisted help from the architecture's page table management to
build hypervisor page tables, in particular enabling sharing the
last level of page tables. This however was a lot of code (~3K
lines) in order to support KVM, and also blocked several features.
The biggest advantages is that the page size of userspace is
completely independent of the page size used by the guest:
userspace can mix normal pages, THPs and hugetlbfs as it sees fit,
and in fact transparent hugepages were not possible before. It's
also now possible to have nested guests and guests with huge pages
running on the same host
- Maintainership change for s390 vfio-pci
- Small quality of life improvement for protected guests
x86:
- Add support for giving the guest full ownership of PMU hardware
(contexted switched around the fastpath run loop) and allowing
direct access to data MSRs and PMCs (restricted by the vPMU model).
KVM still intercepts access to control registers, e.g. to enforce
event filtering and to prevent the guest from profiling sensitive
host state. This is more accurate, since it has no risk of
contention and thus dropped events, and also has significantly less
overhead.

Merge tag 'kvm-x86-pmu-6.20' of https://github.com/kvm-x86/linux into HEAD
KVM mediated PMU support for 6.20 Add support for mediated PMUs, where KVM gives the guest full ownership of PMU hardware (contexted switched around the fastpath run loop) and allows direct access to data MSRs and PMCs (restricted by the vPMU model), but intercepts access to control registers, e.g. to enforce event filtering and to prevent the guest from profiling sensitive host state. To keep overall complexity reasonable, mediated PMU usage is all or nothing for a given instance of KVM (controlled via module param). The Mediated PMU is disabled default, partly to maintain backwards compatilibity for existing setup, partly because there are tradeoffs when running with a mediated PMU that may be non-starters for some use cases, e.g. the host loses the ability to profile guests with mediated PMUs, the fastpath run loop is also a blind spot, entry/exit transitions are more expensive, etc. Versus the emulated PMU, where KVM is "just another perf user", the mediated PMU delivers more accurate profiling and monitoring (no risk of contention and thus dropped events), with significantly less overhead (fewer exits and faster emulation/programming of event selectors) E.g. when running Specint-2017 on a single-socket Sapphire Rapids with 56 cores and no-SMT, and using perf from within the guest: Perf command: a. basic-sampling: perf record -F 1000 -e 6-instructions -a --overwrite b. multiplex-sampling: perf record -F 1000 -e 10-instructions -a --overwrite Guest performance overhead: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Test case | emulated vPMU | all passthrough | passthrough with | | | | | event filters | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | basic-sampling | 33.62% | 4.24% | 6.21% | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | multiplex-sampling | 79.32% | 7.34% | 10.45% | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Scheduler Kconfig space updates:
- Further consolidate configurable preemption modes (Peter Zijlstra)
Reduce the number of architectures that are allowed to offer
PREEMPT_NONE and PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, reducing the number of
preemption models from four to just two: 'full' and 'lazy' on
up-to-date architectures (arm64, loongarch, powerpc, riscv, s390,
x86).
None and voluntary are only available as legacy features on
platforms that don't implement lazy preemption yet, or which don't
even support preemption.
The goal is to eventually remove cond_resched() and voluntary
preemption altogether.
RSEQ based 'scheduler time slice extension' support (Thomas Gleixner
and Peter Zijlstra):
This allows a thread to request a time slice extension when it enters
a critical section to avoid contention on a resource when the thread
is scheduled out inside of the critical section.
- Add fields and constants for time slice extension
- Provide static branch for time slice extensions
- Add statistics for time slice extensions
- Add prctl() to enable time slice extensions
- Implement sys_rseq_slice_yield()
- Implement syscall entry work for time slice extensions
- Implement time slice extension enforcement timer
- Reset slice extension when scheduled
- Implement rseq_grant_slice_extension()

- selftests: Implement time slice extension test
- Allow registering RSEQ with slice extension
- Move slice_ext_nsec to debugfs
- Lower default slice extension
- selftests/rseq: Add rseq slice histogram script
Scheduler performance/scalability improvements:
- Update rq->avg_idle when a task is moved to an idle CPU, which
improves the scalability of various workloads (Shubhang Kaushik)
- Reorder fields in 'struct rq' for better caching (Blake Jones)
- Fair scheduler SMP NOHZ balancing code speedups (Shrikanth Hegde):
- Move checking for nohz cpus after time check
- Change likelyhood of nohz.nr_cpus
- Remove nohz.nr_cpus and use weight of cpumask instead
- Avoid false sharing for sched_clock_irqtime (Wangyang Guo)
- Cleanups (Yury Norov):
- Drop useless cpumask_empty() in find_energy_efficient_cpu()
- Simplify task_numa_find_cpu()
- Use cpumask_weight_and() in sched_balance_find_dst_group()
DL scheduler updates:
- Add a deadline server for sched_ext tasks (by Andrea Righi and Joel
Fernandes, with fixes by Peter Zijlstra)
RT scheduler updates:
- Skip currently executing CPU in rto_next_cpu() (Chen Jinghuang)
Entry code updates and performance improvements (Jinjie Ruan)
This is part of the scheduler tree in this cycle due to inter-
dependencies with the RSEQ based time slice extension work:
- Remove unused syscall argument from syscall_trace_enter()
- Rework syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work() for architecture reuse
- Add arch_ptrace_report_syscall_entry/exit()
- Inline syscall_exit_work() and syscall_trace_enter()
Scheduler core updates (Peter Zijlstra):
- Rework sched_class::wakeup_preempt() and rq_modified_*()
- Avoid rq->lock bouncing in sched_balance_newidle()
- Rename rcu_dereference_check_sched_domain() =>
rcu_dereference_sched_domain()
- <linux/compiler_types.h>: Add the __signed_scalar_typeof() helper
Fair scheduler updates/refactoring (Peter Zijlstra and Ingo Molnar):
- Fold the sched_avg update
- Change rcu_dereference_check_sched_domain() to rcu-sched
- Switch to rcu_dereference_all()
- Remove superfluous rcu_read_lock()
- Limit hrtick work
- Join two #ifdef CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED blocks
- Clean up comments in 'struct cfs_rq'
- Separate se->vlag from se->vprot
- Rename cfs_rq::avg_load to cfs_rq::sum_weight
- Rename cfs_rq::avg_vruntime to ::sum_w_vruntime & helper functions
- Introduce and use the vruntime_cmp() and vruntime_op() wrappers for
wrapped-signed aritmetics
- Sort out 'blocked_load*' namespace noise
Scheduler debugging code updates:
- Export hidden tracepoints to modules (Gabriele Monaco)
- Convert copy_from_user() + kstrtouint() to kstrtouint_from_user()
(Fushuai Wang)

Pull vfs initrd removal from Christian Brauner: "Remove the deprecated linuxrc-based initrd code path and related dead code. The linuxrc initrd path was deprecated in 2020 and this series completes its removal. If we see real-life regressions we'll revert. The core change removes handle_initrd() and init_linuxrc() — the entire flow that ran /linuxrc from an initrd, pivoted roots, and handed off to the real root filesystem. With that gone, initrd_load() becomes void (no longer short-circuits prepare_namespace()), rd_load_image() is simplified to always load /initrd.image instead of taking a path, and rd_load_disk() is deleted. The /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev sysctl and its backing variable are removed since they only existed for linuxrc to communicate the real root device back to the kernel. The no-op load_ramdisk= and prompt_ramdisk= parameters are dropped, and noinitrd and ramdisk_start= gain deprecation warnings. Initramfs is entirely unaffected. The non-linuxrc initrd path (root=/dev/ram0) is preserved but now carries a deprecation warning targeting January 2027 removal" * tag 'vfs-7.0-rc1.initrd' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: init: remove /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev initrd: remove deprecated code path (linuxrc) init: remove deprecated "load_ramdisk" and "prompt_ramdisk" command line parameters |

workqueue: add time-based panic for stalls
Add a new module parameter 'panic_on_stall_time' that triggers a panic when a workqueue stall persists for longer than the specified duration in seconds. Unlike 'panic_on_stall' which counts accumulated stall events, this parameter triggers based on the duration of a single continuous stall. This is useful for catching truly stuck workqueues rather than accumulating transient stalls. Usage: workqueue.panic_on_stall_time=120 This would panic if any workqueue pool has been stalled for 120 seconds or more. The stall duration is measured from the workqueue last progress (poll_ts) which accounts for legitimate system stalls.

nvme: add support for dynamic quirk configuration via module parameter
Introduce support for enabling or disabling specific NVMe quirks at module load time through the `quirks` module parameter. This mechanism allows users to apply known quirks dynamically based on the device's PCI vendor and device IDs, without requiring to add hardcoded entries in the driver and recompiling the kernel. While the generic PCI new_id sysfs interface exists for dynamic configuration, it is insufficient for scenarios where the system fails to boot (for example, this has been reported to happen because of the bogus_nid quirk). The new_id attribute is writable only after the system has booted and sysfs is mounted. The `quirks` parameter accepts a list of quirk specifications separated by a '-' character in the following format: <VID>:<DID>:<quirk_names>[-<VID>:<DID>:<quirk_names>-..] Each quirk is represented by its name and can be prefixed with `^` to indicate that the quirk should be disabled; quirk names are separated by a ',' character.

workqueue: add CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_WQ_STALL_PANIC option
Add a kernel config option to set the default value of workqueue.panic_on_stall, similar to CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_SOFTLOCKUP_PANIC, CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HARDLOCKUP_PANIC and CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HUNG_TASK_PANIC. This allows setting the number of workqueue stalls before triggering a kernel panic at build time, which is useful for high-availability systems that need consistent panic-on-stall, in other words, those servers which run with CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_*_PANIC=y already. The default remains 0 (disabled). Setting it to 1 will panic on the first stall, and higher values will panic after that many stall warnings. The value can still be overridden at runtime via the workqueue.panic_on_stall boot parameter or sysfs. Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao <leitao@debian.org> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> |

panic: add panic_force_cpu= parameter to redirect panic to a specific CPU
Some platforms require panic handling to execute on a specific CPU for crash dump to work reliably. This can be due to firmware limitations, interrupt routing constraints, or platform-specific requirements where only a single CPU is able to safely enter the crash kernel. Add the panic_force_cpu= kernel command-line parameter to redirect panic execution to a designated CPU. When the parameter is provided, the CPU that initially triggers panic forwards the panic context to the target CPU via IPI, which then proceeds with the normal panic and kexec flow. The IPI delivery is implemented as a weak function (panic_smp_redirect_cpu) so architectures with NMI support can override it for more reliable delivery. If the specified CPU is invalid, offline, or a panic is already in progress on another CPU, the redirection is skipped and panic continues on the current CPU.

watchdog: softlockup: panic when lockup duration exceeds N thresholds
The softlockup_panic sysctl is currently a binary option: panic immediately or never panic on soft lockups. Panicking on any soft lockup, regardless of duration, can be overly aggressive for brief stalls that may be caused by legitimate operations. Conversely, never panicking may allow severe system hangs to persist undetected. Extend softlockup_panic to accept an integer threshold, allowing the kernel to panic only when the normalized lockup duration exceeds N watchdog threshold periods. This provides finer-grained control to distinguish between transient delays and persistent system failures. The accepted values are: - 0: Don't panic (unchanged) - 1: Panic when duration >= 1 * threshold (20s default, original behavior) - N > 1: Panic when duration >= N * threshold (e.g., 2 = 40s, 3 = 60s.) The original behavior is preserved for values 0 and 1, maintaining full backward compatibility while allowing systems to tolerate brief lockups while still catching severe, persistent hangs.

dm-verity: add dm-verity keyring
Add a dedicated ".dm-verity" keyring for root hash signature verification, similar to the ".fs-verity" keyring used by fs-verity. By default the keyring is unused retaining the exact same old behavior. For systems that provision additional keys only intended for dm-verity images during boot, the dm_verity.keyring_unsealed=1 kernel parameter leaves the keyring open. We want to use this in systemd as a way add keys during boot that are only used for creating dm-verity devices for later mounting and nothing else. The discoverable disk image (DDI) spec at [1] heavily relies on dm-verity and we would like to expand this even more. This will allow us to do that in a fully backward compatible way. Once provisioning is complete, userspace restricts and activates it for dm-verity verification. If userspace fully seals the keyring then it gains the guarantee that no new keys can be added.

x86/acpi: Add acpi=spcr to use SPCR-provided default console
The SPCR provided console on x86 is only available as a boot console when
earlycon is provided on the kernel command line, and will not be present in
/proc/consoles.
While it's possible to retain the boot console with the keep_bootcon
parameter, that leaves the console using the less efficient 8250_early driver.
Users wanting to use the firmware suggested console (to avoid maintaining
unique serial console parameters for different server models in large fleets)
with the conventional driver have to parse the kernel log for the console
parameters and reinsert them.

docs: make kptr_restrict and hash_pointers reference each other
vsprintf.c uses a mix of the `kernel.kptr_restrict` sysctl and the `hash_pointers` boot param to control pointer hashing. But that wasn't possible to tell without looking at the source code. They have a different focus and purpose. To avoid wasting the time of users trying to use one instead of the other, simply have them reference each other in the Documentation.

x86/resctrl: Add energy/perf choices to rdt boot option
Legacy resctrl features are enumerated by X86_FEATURE_* flags. These may be overridden by quirks to disable features in the case of errata. Users can use kernel command line options to either disable a feature, or to force enable a feature that was disabled by a quirk. A different approach is needed for hardware features that do not have an X86_FEATURE_* flag. Update parsing of the "rdt=" boot parameter to call the telemetry driver directly to handle new "perf" and "energy" options that controls activation of telemetry monitoring of the named type. By itself a "perf" or "energy" option controls the forced enabling or disabling (with ! prefix) of all event groups of the named type. A ":guid" suffix allows for fine grained control per event group.

This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel
subsystem designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a
kexec-based reboot. This capability is critical for cloud
environments, allowing hypervisors to be updated with minimal
downtime for running virtual machines. LUO achieves this by
preserving the state of selected resources, such as memory,
devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition.
As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving
memfd file descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such
as guest RAM or any other large memory region, to be maintained in
RAM across the kexec reboot.
Mike Rappaport merits a mention here, for his extensive review and
testing work.

mm/mm_init: Introduce a boot parameter for check_pages
Use-after-free and double-free bugs can be very difficult to track down.
The kernel is good at tracking these and preventing bad pages from being
used/created through simple checks gated behind "check_pages_enabled".
Currently, the only ways to enable this flag is by building with
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, or as a side effect of other checks such as
init_on_{alloc, free}, page_poisoning, or debug_pagealloc among others.
These solutions are powerful, but may often be too coarse in balancing
the performance vs. safety that a user may want, particularly in
latency-sensitive production environments.
Introduce a new boot parameter "check_pages", which enables page checking
with no other side effects. It takes kstrbool-able inputs as an argument
(i.e. 0/1, true/false, on/off, ...). This patch is backwards-compatible;
setting CONFIG_DEBUG_VM still enables page checking.

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"This has been another busy cycle for documentation, with a lot of
build-system thrashing. That work should slow down from here on out.
- The various scripts and tools for documentation were spread out in
several directories; now they are (almost) all coalesced under
tools/docs/. The holdout is the kernel-doc script, which cannot be
easily moved without some further thought.
- As the amount of Python code increases, we are accumulating modules
that are imported by multiple programs. These modules have been
pulled together under tools/lib/python/ -- at least, for
documentation-related programs. There is other Python code in the
tree that might eventually want to move toward this organization.
- The Perl kernel-doc.pl script has been removed. It is no longer
used by default, and nobody has missed it, least of all anybody who
actually had to look at it.
- The docs build was controlled by a complex mess of makefilese that
few dared to touch. Mauro has moved that logic into a new program
(tools/docs/sphinx-build-wrapper) that, with any luck at all, will
be far easier to understand and maintain.
- The get_feat.pl program, used to access information under
Documentation/features/, has been rewritten in Python, bringing an
end to the use of Perl in the docs subsystem.
- The top-level README file has been reorganized into a more
reader-friendly presentation.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"There are quite a few interesting things here, including new hardware
support, new features, some bug fixes and documentation updates. In
addition, there are a usual bunch of minor fixes and cleanups all
over.
In the new hardware support category, there are intel_pstate and
intel_rapl driver updates to support new processors, Panther Lake,
Wildcat Lake, Noval Lake, and Diamond Rapids in the OOB mode, OPP and
bandwidth allocation support in the tegra186 cpufreq driver, and
JH7110S SOC support in dt-platdev cpufreq.
The new features are the PM QoS CPU latency limit for suspend-to-idle,
the netlink support for the energy model management, support for
terminating system suspend via a wakeup event during the sync of file
systems, configurable number of hibernation compression threads, the
runtime PM auto-cleanup macros, and the "poweroff" PM event that is
expected to be used during system shutdown.
Bugs are mostly fixed in cpuidle governors, but there are also fixes
elsewhere, like in the amd-pstate cpufreq driver.
Documentation updates include, but are not limited to, a new doc on
debugging shutdown hangs, cross-referencing fixes and cleanups in the
intel_pstate documentation, and updates of comments in the core
hibernation code.
Specifics:
