The library code built under arch/x86/boot/startup is not intended to be
linked into vmlinux but only into the decompressor and/or the EFI stub.
This means objtool validation is not needed here, and may result in
false positive errors for things like missing retpolines.
So disable it for all objects added to lib-y

Since
741c10b096bc ("kernfs: Use RCU to access kernfs_node::name.")
a helper rdt_kn_name() that checks that rdtgroup_mutex is held has been used
for all accesses to the kernfs node name.
rdtgroup_mkdir() uses the name to determine if a valid monitor group is being
created by checking the parent name is "mon_groups". This is done without
holding rdtgroup_mutex, and now triggers the following warning:
| WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
| 6.15.0-rc1 #4465 Tainted: G E

Creating a control or monitor group calls mkdir_rdt_prepare(), which uses
rdtgroup_kn_lock_live() to take the rdtgroup_mutex.
To avoid taking and dropping the lock, move the check for the monitor group
name and position into mkdir_rdt_prepare() so that it occurs under
rdtgroup_mutex. Hoist is_mon_groups() earlier in the file.

Pull kvm fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM:
- Rework heuristics for resolving the fault IPA (HPFAR_EL2 v. re-walk
stage-1 page tables) to align with the architecture. This avoids
possibly taking an SEA at EL2 on the page table walk or using an
architecturally UNKNOWN fault IPA
- Use acquire/release semantics in the KVM FF-A proxy to avoid
reading a stale value for the FF-A version
- Fix KVM guest driver to match PV CPUID hypercall ABI
- Use Inner Shareable Normal Write-Back mappings at stage-1 in KVM
selftests, which is the only memory type for which atomic
instructions are architecturally guaranteed to work
s390:
- Don't use %pK for debug printing and tracepoints
x86:
- Use a separate subclass when acquiring KVM's per-CPU posted
interrupts wakeup lock in the scheduled out path, i.e. when adding
a vCPU on the list of vCPUs to wake, to workaround a false positive
deadlock. The schedule out code runs with a scheduler lock that the
wakeup handler takes in the opposite order; but it does so with
IRQs disabled and cannot run concurrently with a wakeup
- Explicitly zero-initialize on-stack CPUID unions
- Allow building irqbypass.ko as as module when kvm.ko is a module
- Wrap relatively expensive sanity check with KVM_PROVE_MMU
- Acquire SRCU in KVM_GET_MP_STATE to protect guest memory accesses
selftests:
- Add more scenarios to the MONITOR/MWAIT test
- Add option to rseq test to override /dev/cpu_dma_latency
- Bring list of exit reasons up to date
- Cleanup Makefile to list once tests that are valid on all
architectures

ANNOTATE_IGNORE_ALTERNATIVE adds additional noise to the code generated
by CLAC/STAC alternatives, hurting readability for those whose read
uaccess-related code generation on a regular basis.
Remove the annotation specifically for the "NOP patched with CLAC/STAC"
case in favor of a manual check.
Leave the other uses of that annotation in place as they're less common
and more difficult to detect.

The relative rates among two or more events are useful for performance
analysis, e.g., a high branch miss rate may indicate a performance
issue. Usually, the samples with a relative rate that exceeds some
threshold are more useful. However, the traditional sampling takes
samples of events separately. To get the relative rates among two or
more events, a high sample rate is required, which can bring high
overhead. Many samples taken in the non-hotspot area are also dropped
(useless) in the post-process.
The auto counter reload (ACR) feature takes samples when the relative
rate of two or more events exceeds some threshold, which provides the
fine-grained information at a low cost.
To support the feature, two sets of MSRs are introduced. For a given
counter IA32_PMC_GPn_CTR/IA32_PMC_FXm_CTR, bit fields in the
IA32_PMC_GPn_CFG_B/IA32_PMC_FXm_CFG_B MSR indicate which counter(s)
can cause a reload of that counter. The reload value is stored in the
IA32_PMC_GPn_CFG_C/IA32_PMC_FXm_CFG_C.
The details can be found at Intel SDM (085), Volume 3, 21.9.11 Auto
Counter Reload.
In the hw_config(), an ACR event is specially configured, because the
cause/reloadable counter mask has to be applied to the dyn_constraint.
Besides the HW limit, e.g., not support perf metrics, PDist and etc, a
SW limit is applied as well. ACR events in a group must be contiguous.
It facilitates the later conversion from the event idx to the counter
idx. Otherwise, the intel_pmu_acr_late_setup() has to traverse the whole
event list again to find the "cause" event.
Also, add a new flag PERF_X86_EVENT_ACR to indicate an ACR group, which
is set to the group leader.
The late setup() is also required for an ACR group. It's to convert the
event idx to the counter idx, and saved it in hw.config1.
The ACR configuration MSRs are only updated in the enable_event().
The disable_event() doesn't clear the ACR CFG register.
Add acr_cfg_b/acr_cfg_c in the struct cpu_hw_events to cache the MSR
values. It can avoid a MSR write if the value is not changed.
Expose an acr_mask to the sysfs. The perf tool can utilize the new
format to configure the relation of events in the group. The bit
sequence of the acr_mask follows the events enabled order of the group.
Example:
Here is the snippet of the mispredict.c. Since the array has a random
numbers, jumps are random and often mispredicted.
The mispredicted rate depends on the compared value.
For the Loop1, ~11% of all branches are mispredicted.
For the Loop2, ~21% of all branches are mispredicted.
main()
{
...
for (i = 0; i < N; i++)
data[i] = rand() % 256;
...
/* Loop 1 */
for (k = 0; k < 50; k++)
for (i = 0; i < N; i++)
if (data[i] >= 64)
sum += data[i];
...
...
/* Loop 2 */
for (k = 0; k < 50; k++)
for (i = 0; i < N; i++)
if (data[i] >= 128)
sum += data[i];
...
}
Usually, a code with a high branch miss rate means a bad performance.
To understand the branch miss rate of the codes, the traditional method
usually samples both branches and branch-misses events. E.g.,
perf record -e "{cpu_atom/branch-misses/ppu, cpu_atom/branch-instructions/u}"
-c 1000000 -- ./mispredict
[ perf record: Woken up 4 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.925 MB perf.data (5106 samples) ]
The 5106 samples are from both events and spread in both Loops.
In the post-process stage, a user can know that the Loop 2 has a 21%
branch miss rate. Then they can focus on the samples of branch-misses
events for the Loop 2.
With this patch, the user can generate the samples only when the branch
miss rate > 20%. For example,
perf record -e "{cpu_atom/branch-misses,period=200000,acr_mask=0x2/ppu,
cpu_atom/branch-instructions,period=1000000,acr_mask=0x3/u}"
-- ./mispredict
(Two different periods are applied to branch-misses and
branch-instructions. The ratio is set to 20%.
If the branch-instructions is overflowed first, the branch-miss
rate < 20%. No samples should be generated. All counters should be
automatically reloaded.
If the branch-misses is overflowed first, the branch-miss rate > 20%.
A sample triggered by the branch-misses event should be
generated. Just the counter of the branch-instructions should be
automatically reloaded.
The branch-misses event should only be automatically reloaded when
the branch-instructions is overflowed. So the "cause" event is the
branch-instructions event. The acr_mask is set to 0x2, since the
event index in the group of branch-instructions is 1.
The branch-instructions event is automatically reloaded no matter which
events are overflowed. So the "cause" events are the branch-misses
and the branch-instructions event. The acr_mask should be set to 0x3.)

The counters that support the auto counter reload feature can be
enumerated in the CPUID Leaf 0x23 sub-leaf 0x2.
Add acr_cntr_mask to store the mask of counters which are reloadable.
Add acr_cause_mask to store the mask of counters which can cause reload.
Since the e-core and p-core may have different numbers of counters,
track the masks in the struct x86_hybrid_pmu as well.

The auto counter reload feature requires an event flag to indicate an
auto counter reload group, which can only be scheduled on specific
counters that enumerated in CPUID. However, the hw_perf_event.flags has
run out on X86.
Two solutions were considered to address the issue.
- Currently, 20 bits are reserved for the architecture-specific flags.
Only the bit 31 is used for the generic flag. There is still plenty
of space left. Reserve 8 more bits for the arch-specific flags.
- Add a new X86 specific hw_perf_event.flags1 to support more flags.
The former is implemented. Enough room is still left in the global
generic flag.

When a machine supports PEBS v6, perf unconditionally searches the
cpuc->event_list[] for every event and check if the late setup is
required, which is unnecessary.
The late setup is only required for special events, e.g., events support
counters snapshotting feature. Add n_late_setup to track the num of
events that needs the late setup.
Other features, e.g., auto counter reload feature, require the late
setup as well. Add a wrapper, intel_pmu_pebs_late_setup, for the events
that support counters snapshotting feature.

More and more features require a dynamic event constraint, e.g., branch
counter logging, auto counter reload, Arch PEBS, etc.
Add a generic flag, PMU_FL_DYN_CONSTRAINT, to indicate the case. It
avoids keeping adding the individual flag in intel_cpuc_prepare().
Add a variable dyn_constraint in the struct hw_perf_event to track the
dynamic constraint of the event. Apply it if it's updated.
Apply the generic dynamic constraint for branch counter logging.
Many features on and after V6 require dynamic constraint. So
unconditionally set the flag for V6+.

When running as a PVH dom0 the ACPI tables exposed to Linux are (mostly)
the native ones, thus exposing the C and P states, that can lead to
attachment of CPU idle and frequency drivers. However the entity in
control of the CPU C and P states is Xen, as dom0 doesn't have a full view
of the system load, neither has all CPUs assigned and identity pinned.
Like it's done for classic PV guests, prevent Linux from using idle or
frequency state drivers when running as a PVH dom0.
On an AMD EPYC 7543P system without this fix a Linux PVH dom0 will keep the
host CPUs spinning at 100% even when dom0 is completely idle, as it's
attempting to use the acpi_idle driver.

KVM/arm64: First batch of fixes for 6.15
- Rework heuristics for resolving the fault IPA (HPFAR_EL2 v. re-walk
stage-1 page tables) to align with the architecture. This avoids
possibly taking an SEA at EL2 on the page table walk or using an
architecturally UNKNOWN fault IPA.
- Use acquire/release semantics in the KVM FF-A proxy to avoid reading
a stale value for the FF-A version.
- Fix KVM guest driver to match PV CPUID hypercall ABI.
- Use Inner Shareable Normal Write-Back mappings at stage-1 in KVM
selftests, which is the only memory type for which atomic
instructions are architecturally guaranteed to work.

The lookup_one_len family of functions is (now) only used internally by
a filesystem on itself either
- in a context where permission checking is irrelevant such as by a
virtual filesystem populating itself, or xfs accessing its ORPHANAGE
or dquota accessing the quota file; or
- in a context where a permission check (MAY_EXEC on the parent) has just
been performed such as a network filesystem finding in "silly-rename"
file in the same directory. This is also the context after the
_parentat() functions where currently lookup_one_qstr_excl() is used.
So the permission check is pointless.
The name "one_len" is unhelpful in understanding the purpose of these
functions and should be changed. Most of the callers pass the len as
"strlen()" so using a qstr and QSTR() can simplify the code.
This patch renames these functions (include lookup_positive_unlocked()
which is part of the family despite the name) to have a name based on
"lookup_noperm". They are changed to receive a 'struct qstr' instead
of separate name and len. In a few cases the use of QSTR() results in a
new call to strlen().
try_lookup_noperm() takes a pointer to a qstr instead of the whole
qstr. This is consistent with d_hash_and_lookup() (which is nearly
identical) and useful for lookup_noperm_unlocked().
The new lookup_noperm_common() doesn't take a qstr yet. That will be
tidied up in a subsequent patch.

Move platform initialization of SEV/SNP from CCP driver probe time to
KVM module load time so that KVM can do SEV/SNP platform initialization
explicitly if it actually wants to use SEV/SNP functionality.
Add support for KVM to explicitly call into the CCP driver at load time
to initialize SEV/SNP. If required, this behavior can be altered with KVM
module parameters to not do SEV/SNP platform initialization at module load
time. Additionally, a corresponding SEV/SNP platform shutdown is invoked
during KVM module unload time.
Continue to support SEV deferred initialization as the user may have the
file containing SEV persistent data for SEV INIT_EX available only later
after module load/init.

Objtool uses an arbitrary rule for INSN_SYSCALL and INSN_SYSRET that
almost works by accident: if it's in a function, control flow continues
after the instruction, otherwise it terminates.
That behavior should instead be based on the semantics of the underlying
instruction. Change INSN_SYSCALL to always preserve control flow and
INSN_SYSRET to always terminate it.
The changed semantic for INSN_SYSCALL requires a tweak to the
!CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION version of xen_entry_SYSCALL_compat(). In Xen,
SYSCALL is a hypercall which usually returns. But in this case it's a
hypercall to IRET which doesn't return. Add UD2 to tell objtool to
terminate control flow, and to prevent undefined behavior at runtime.
