Pull core process handling RT latency updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Reduce the amount of work to release a task stack in context switch.
There is no real reason to do cgroup accounting and memory freeing in
this performance sensitive context.
Aside of this the invoked functions cannot be called from this
preemption disabled context on PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels. Solve this
by moving the accounting into do_exit() and delaying the freeing of
the stack unless the vmap stack can be cached.
- Provide a mechanism to delay raising signals from atomic context on
PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels as sighand::lock cannot be acquired. Store
the information in the task struct and raise it in the exit path.

There are two outstanding issues with CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI and
llvm-objcopy, with similar root causes:
1. llvm-objcopy does not properly convert .note.gnu.property when going
from x86_64 to x86_x32, resulting in a corrupted section when
linking:
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1141
2. llvm-objcopy produces corrupted compressed debug sections when going
from x86_64 to x86_x32, also resulting in an error when linking:
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/514
After commit 41c5ef31ad71 ("x86/ibt: Base IBT bits"), the
.note.gnu.property section is always generated when
CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT is enabled, which causes the first issue to become
visible with an allmodconfig build:
ld.lld: error: arch/x86/entry/vdso/vclock_gettime-x32.o:(.note.gnu.property+0x1c): program property is too short
To avoid this error, do not allow CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI to be selected when
using llvm-objcopy. If the two issues ever get fixed in llvm-objcopy,
this can be turned into a feature check.

Commit 0bf6276392e9 ("x32: Warn and disable rather than error if
binutils too old") added a small test in arch/x86/Makefile because
binutils 2.22 or newer is needed to properly support elf32-x86-64. This
check is no longer necessary, as the minimum supported version of
binutils is 2.23, which is enforced at configuration time with
scripts/min-tool-version.sh.
Remove this check and replace all uses of CONFIG_X86_X32 with
CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI, as two symbols are no longer necessary.
[nathan: Rebase, fix up a few places where CONFIG_X86_X32 was still
used, and simplify commit message to satisfy -tip requirements]

Objtool's --ibt option generates .ibt_endbr_seal which lists
superfluous ENDBR instructions. That is those instructions for which
the function is never indirectly called.
Overwrite these ENDBR instructions with a NOP4 such that these
function can never be indirect called, reducing the number of viable
ENDBR targets in the kernel.

Add Kconfig, Makefile and basic instruction support for x86 IBT.
(Ab)use __DISABLE_EXPORTS to disable IBT since it's already employed
to mark compressed and purgatory. Additionally mark realmode with it
as well to avoid inserting ENDBR instructions there. While ENDBR is
technically a NOP, inserting them was causing some grief due to code
growth. There's also a problem with using __noendbr in code compiled
without -fcf-protection=branch.

Since switch to simplefb/simpledrm VESA graphic mode selection with vga=
kernel parameter is no longer available with legacy BIOS.
The x86 realmode boot code enables the VESA graphic modes when option
FB_BOOT_VESA_SUPPORT is enabled.
This option is selected by vesafb but not simplefb/simpledrm.
To enable use of VESA modes with simplefb in legacy BIOS boot mode drop
dependency of BOOT_VESA_SUPPORT on FB, also drop the FB_ prefix. Select
the option from sysfb rather than the drivers that depend on it.
The BOOT_VESA_SUPPORT is not specific to framebuffer but rather to x86
platform, move it from fbdev to x86 Kconfig.

On x86_64 we must disable preemption before we enable interrupts
for stack faults, int3 and debugging, because the current task is using
a per CPU debug stack defined by the IST. If we schedule out, another task
can come in and use the same stack and cause the stack to be corrupted
and crash the kernel on return.
When CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT is enabled, spinlock_t locks become sleeping, and
one of these is the spin lock used in signal handling.
Some of the debug code (int3) causes do_trap() to send a signal.
This function calls a spinlock_t lock that has been converted to a
sleeping lock. If this happens, the above issues with the corrupted
stack is possible.
Instead of calling the signal right away, for PREEMPT_RT and x86,
the signal information is stored on the stacks task_struct and
TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME is set. Then on exit of the trap, the signal resume
code will send the signal when preemption is enabled.

In Kconfig, inside the "Processor type and features" menu, there is
the CONFIG_I8K option: "Dell i8k legacy laptop support". This is
very confusing - enabling CONFIG_I8K is not required for the kernel to
support old Dell laptops. This option is specific to the dell-smm-hwmon
driver, which mostly exports some hardware monitoring information and
allows the user to change fan speed.
This option is misplaced, so move CONFIG_I8K to drivers/hwmon/Kconfig,
where it belongs.
Also, modify the dependency order - change
select SENSORS_DELL_SMM
to
depends on SENSORS_DELL_SMM
as it is just a configuration option of dell-smm-hwmon. This includes
changing the option type from tristate to bool. It was tristate because
it could select CONFIG_SENSORS_DELL_SMM=m .
When running "make oldconfig" on configurations with
CONFIG_SENSORS_DELL_SMM enabled , this change will result in an
additional question (which could be printed several times during
bisecting). I think that tidying up the configuration is worth it,
though.
Next patch tweaks the description of CONFIG_I8K.

One of the things that CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY sanity-checks is whether
an object that is about to be copied to/from userspace is overlapping
the stack at all. If it is, it performs a number of inexpensive
bounds checks. One of the finer-grained checks is whether an object
crosses stack frames within the stack region. Doing this on x86 with
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER was cheap/easy. Doing it with ORC was deemed too
heavy, and was left out (a while ago), leaving the courser whole-stack
check.
The LKDTM tests USERCOPY_STACK_FRAME_TO and USERCOPY_STACK_FRAME_FROM
try to exercise these cross-frame cases to validate the defense is
working. They have been failing ever since ORC was added (which was
expected). While Muhammad was investigating various LKDTM failures[1],
he asked me for additional details on them, and I realized that when
exact stack frame boundary checking is not available (i.e. everything
except x86 with FRAME_POINTER), it could check if a stack object is at
least "current depth valid", in the sense that any object within the
stack region but not between start-of-stack and current_stack_pointer
should be considered unavailable (i.e. its lifetime is from a call no
longer present on the stack).
Introduce ARCH_HAS_CURRENT_STACK_POINTER to track which architectures
have actually implemented the common global register alias.
Additionally report usercopy bounds checking failures with an offset
from current_stack_pointer, which may assist with diagnosing failures.
The LKDTM USERCOPY_STACK_FRAME_TO and USERCOPY_STACK_FRAME_FROM tests
(once slightly adjusted in a separate patch) pass again with this fixed.

Where an architecture selects HAVE_STATIC_CALL but not
HAVE_STATIC_CALL_INLINE, each static call has an out-of-line trampoline
which will either branch to a callee or return to the caller.
On such architectures, a number of constraints can conspire to make
those trampolines more complicated and potentially less useful than we'd
like. For example:
* Hardware and software control flow integrity schemes can require the
addition of "landing pad" instructions (e.g. `BTI` for arm64), which
will also be present at the "real" callee.
* Limited branch ranges can require that trampolines generate or load an
address into a register and perform an indirect branch (or at least
have a slow path that does so). This loses some of the benefits of
having a direct branch.
* Interaction with SW CFI schemes can be complicated and fragile, e.g.
requiring that we can recognise idiomatic codegen and remove
indirections understand, at least until clang proves more helpful
mechanisms for dealing with this.
For PREEMPT_DYNAMIC, we don't need the full power of static calls, as we
really only need to enable/disable specific preemption functions. We can
achieve the same effect without a number of the pain points above by
using static keys to fold early returns into the preemption functions
themselves rather than in an out-of-line trampoline, effectively
inlining the trampoline into the start of the function.
For arm64, this results in good code generation. For example, the
dynamic_cond_resched() wrapper looks as follows when enabled. When
disabled, the first `B` is replaced with a `NOP`, resulting in an early
return.
| <dynamic_cond_resched>:
| bti c
| b <dynamic_cond_resched+0x10> // or `nop`
| mov w0, #0x0
| ret
| mrs x0, sp_el0
| ldr x0, [x0, #8]
| cbnz x0, <dynamic_cond_resched+0x8>
| paciasp
| stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
| mov x29, sp
| bl <preempt_schedule_common>
| mov w0, #0x1
| ldp x29, x30, [sp], #16
| autiasp
| ret
... compared to the regular form of the function:
| <__cond_resched>:
| bti c
| mrs x0, sp_el0
| ldr x1, [x0, #8]
| cbz x1, <__cond_resched+0x18>
| mov w0, #0x0
| ret
| paciasp
| stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
| mov x29, sp
| bl <preempt_schedule_common>
| mov w0, #0x1
| ldp x29, x30, [sp], #16
| autiasp
| ret
Any architecture which implements static keys should be able to use this
to implement PREEMPT_DYNAMIC with similar cost to non-inlined static
calls. Since this is likely to have greater overhead than (inlined)
static calls, PREEMPT_DYNAMIC is only defaulted to enabled when
HAVE_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC_CALL is selected.

First S390 complained that the sorting of the mcount sections at build
time caused the kernel to crash on their architecture. Now PowerPC is
complaining about it too. And also ARM64 appears to be having issues.
It may be necessary to also update the relocation table for the values
in the mcount table. Not only do we have to sort the table, but also
update the relocations that may be applied to the items in the table.
If the system is not relocatable, then it is fine to sort, but if it is,
some architectures may have issues (although x86 does not as it shifts all
addresses the same).
Add a HAVE_BUILDTIME_MCOUNT_SORT that an architecture can set to say it is
safe to do the sorting at build time.
Also update the config to compile in build time sorting in the sorttable
code in scripts/ to depend on CONFIG_BUILDTIME_MCOUNT_SORT.

Until recent versions of GCC and Clang, it was not possible to disable
KCOV instrumentation via a function attribute. The relevant function
attribute was introduced in 540540d06e9d9 ("kcov: add
__no_sanitize_coverage to fix noinstr for all architectures").
x86 was the first architecture to want a working noinstr, and at the
time no compiler support for the attribute existed yet. Therefore,
commit 0f1441b44e823 ("objtool: Fix noinstr vs KCOV") introduced the
ability to NOP __sanitizer_cov_*() calls in .noinstr.text.
However, this doesn't work for other architectures like arm64 and s390
that want a working noinstr per ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR.
At the time of 0f1441b44e823, we didn't yet have ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR,
but now we can move the Kconfig dependency checks to the generic KCOV
option. KCOV will be available if:
- architecture does not care about noinstr, OR
- we have objtool support (like on x86), OR
- GCC is 12.0 or newer, OR
- Clang is 13.0 or newer.

Patch series "mm: percpu: Cleanup percpu first chunk function".
When supporting page mapping percpu first chunk allocator on arm64, we
found there are lots of duplicated codes in percpu embed/page first chunk
allocator. This patchset is aimed to cleanup them and should no function
change.
The currently supported status about 'embed' and 'page' in Archs shows
below,
embed: NEED_PER_CPU_PAGE_FIRST_CHUNK
page: NEED_PER_CPU_EMBED_FIRST_CHUNK
embed page
------------------------
arm64 Y Y
mips Y N
powerpc Y Y
riscv Y N
sparc Y Y
x86 Y Y
------------------------
There are two interfaces about percpu first chunk allocator,
extern int __init pcpu_embed_first_chunk(size_t reserved_size, size_t dyn_size,
size_t atom_size,
pcpu_fc_cpu_distance_fn_t cpu_distance_fn,
- pcpu_fc_alloc_fn_t alloc_fn,
- pcpu_fc_free_fn_t free_fn);
+ pcpu_fc_cpu_to_node_fn_t cpu_to_nd_fn);
extern int __init pcpu_page_first_chunk(size_t reserved_size,
- pcpu_fc_alloc_fn_t alloc_fn,
- pcpu_fc_free_fn_t free_fn,
- pcpu_fc_populate_pte_fn_t populate_pte_fn);
+ pcpu_fc_cpu_to_node_fn_t cpu_to_nd_fn);
The pcpu_fc_alloc_fn_t/pcpu_fc_free_fn_t is killed, we provide generic
pcpu_fc_alloc() and pcpu_fc_free() function, which are called in the
pcpu_embed/page_first_chunk().
1) For pcpu_embed_first_chunk(), pcpu_fc_cpu_to_node_fn_t is needed to be
provided when archs supported NUMA.
2) For pcpu_page_first_chunk(), the pcpu_fc_populate_pte_fn_t is killed too,
a generic pcpu_populate_pte() which marked '__weak' is provided, if you
need a different function to populate pte on the arch(like x86), please
provide its own implementation.
[1] https://github.com/kevin78/linux.git percpu-cleanup
This patch (of 4):
The HAVE_SETUP_PER_CPU_AREA/NEED_PER_CPU_EMBED_FIRST_CHUNK/
NEED_PER_CPU_PAGE_FIRST_CHUNK/USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID configs, which have
duplicate definitions on platforms that subscribe it.
Move them into mm, drop these redundant definitions and instead just
select it on applicable platforms.

In 5.12 cycle we enabled GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT config option for ARM64
and MIPS. It increased performance and shrunk .text size; and so far
I didn't receive any negative feedback on the change.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arch/20210225135700.1381396-1-yury.norov@gmail.com/
Now I think it's a good time to switch all architectures to use
find_{first,last}_bit() unconditionally, and so remove corresponding
config option.
The patch does't introduce functioal changes for arc, arm, arm64, mips,
m68k, s390 and x86, for other architectures I expect improvement both in
performance and .text size.

== Problem ==
The amount of SGX memory on a system is determined by the BIOS and it
varies wildly between systems. It can be as small as dozens of MB's
and as large as many GB's on servers. Just like how applications need
to know how much regular RAM is available, enclave builders need to
know how much SGX memory an enclave can consume.
== Solution ==
Introduce a new sysfs file:
/sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/x86/sgx_total_bytes
to enumerate the amount of SGX memory available in each NUMA node.
This serves the same function for SGX as /proc/meminfo or
/sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/meminfo does for normal RAM.
'sgx_total_bytes' is needed today to help drive the SGX selftests.
SGX-specific swap code is exercised by creating overcommitted enclaves
which are larger than the physical SGX memory on the system. They
currently use a CPUID-based approach which can diverge from the actual
amount of SGX memory available. 'sgx_total_bytes' ensures that the
selftests can work efficiently and do not attempt stupid things like
creating a 100,000 MB enclave on a system with 128 MB of SGX memory.
== Implementation Details ==
Introduce CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_NODE_DEV_GROUP opt-in flag to expose an
arch specific attribute group, and add an attribute for the amount of
SGX memory in bytes to each NUMA node:
== ABI Design Discussion ==
As opposed to the per-node ABI, a single, global ABI was considered.
However, this would prevent enclaves from being able to size
themselves so that they fit on a single NUMA node. Essentially, a
single value would rule out NUMA optimizations for enclaves.
Create a new "x86/" directory inside each "nodeX/" sysfs directory.
'sgx_total_bytes' is expected to be the first of at least a few
sgx-specific files to be placed in the new directory. Just scanning
/proc/meminfo, these are the no-brainers that we have for RAM, but we
need for SGX:
MemTotal: xxxx kB // sgx_total_bytes (implemented here)
MemFree: yyyy kB // sgx_free_bytes
SwapTotal: zzzz kB // sgx_swapped_bytes
So, at *least* three. I think we will eventually end up needing
something more along the lines of a dozen. A new directory (as
opposed to being in the nodeX/ "root") directory avoids cluttering the
root with several "sgx_*" files.
Place the new file in a new "nodeX/x86/" directory because SGX is
highly x86-specific. It is very unlikely that any other architecture
(or even non-Intel x86 vendor) will ever implement SGX. Using "sgx/"
as opposed to "x86/" was also considered. But, there is a real chance
this can get used for other arch-specific purposes.

Make use of an upcoming GCC feature to mitigate
straight-line-speculation for x86:
https://gcc.gnu.org/g:53a643f8568067d7700a9f2facc8ba39974973d3
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=102952
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52323
It's built tested on x86_64-allyesconfig using GCC-12 and GCC-11.
Maintenance overhead of this should be fairly low due to objtool
validation.
Size overhead of all these additional int3 instructions comes to:

SEV and TDX both protect guest memory from host accesses. They both use
guest physical address bits to communicate to the hardware which pages
receive protection or not. SEV and TDX both assume that all I/O (real
devices and virtio) must be performed to pages *without* protection.
To add this support, AMD SEV code forces force_dma_unencrypted() to
decrypt DMA pages when DMA pages were allocated for I/O. It also uses
swiotlb_update_mem_attributes() to update decryption bits in SWIOTLB DMA
buffers.
Since TDX also uses a similar memory sharing design, all the above
mentioned changes can be reused. So move force_dma_unencrypted(),
SWIOTLB update code and virtio changes out of mem_encrypt_amd.c to
mem_encrypt.c.
Introduce a new config option X86_MEM_ENCRYPT that can be selected by
platforms which use x86 memory encryption features (needed in both AMD
SEV and Intel TDX guest platforms).
Since the code is moved from mem_encrypt_amd.c, inherit the same make
flags.
This is preparation for enabling TDX memory encryption support and it
has no functional changes.

x86/sme: Explicitly map new EFI memmap table as encrypted
|
|
Reserving memory using efi_mem_reserve() calls into the x86
efi_arch_mem_reserve() function. This function will insert a new EFI
memory descriptor into the EFI memory map representing the area of
memory to be reserved and marking it as EFI runtime memory. As part
of adding this new entry, a new EFI memory map is allocated and mapped.
The mapping is where a problem can occur. This new memory map is mapped
using early_memremap() and generally mapped encrypted, unless the new
memory for the mapping happens to come from an area of memory that is
marked as EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA memory. In this case, the new memory will
be mapped unencrypted. However, during replacement of the old memory map,
efi_mem_type() is disabled, so the new memory map will now be long-term
mapped encrypted (in efi.memmap), resulting in the map containing invalid
data and causing the kernel boot to crash.
Since it is known that the area will be mapped encrypted going forward,
explicitly map the new memory map as encrypted using early_memremap_prot().

X86 machine check architecture reports a physical address when there
is a memory error. Handling that error requires a method to determine
whether the physical address reported is in any of the areas reserved
for EPC pages by BIOS.
SGX EPC pages do not have Linux "struct page" associated with them.
Keep track of the mapping from ranges of EPC pages to the sections
that contain them using an xarray. N.B. adds CONFIG_XARRAY_MULTI to
the SGX dependecies. So "select" that in arch/x86/Kconfig for X86/SGX.
Create a function arch_is_platform_page() that simply reports whether an
address is an EPC page for use elsewhere in the kernel. The ACPI error
injection code needs this function and is typically built as a module,
so export it.
Note that arch_is_platform_page() will be slower than other similar
"what type is this page" functions that can simply check bits in the
"struct page". If there is some future performance critical user of
this function it may need to be implemented in a more efficient way.
Note also that the current implementation of xarray allocates a few
hundred kilobytes for this usage on a system with 4GB of SGX EPC memory
configured. This isn't ideal, but worth it for the code simplicity.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- kprobes: Restructured stack unwinder to show properly on x86 when a
stack dump happens from a kretprobe callback.
- Fix to bootconfig parsing
- Have tracefs allow owner and group permissions by default (only
denying others). There's been pressure to allow non root to tracefs
in a controlled fashion, and using groups is probably the safest.
- Bootconfig memory managament updates.
- Bootconfig clean up to have the tools directory be less dependent on
changes in the kernel tree.
- Allow perf to be traced by function tracer.
- Rewrite of function graph tracer to be a callback from the function
tracer instead of having its own trampoline (this change will happen
on an arch by arch basis, and currently only x86_64 implements it).
- Allow multiple direct trampolines (bpf hooks to functions) be batched
together in one synchronization.
- Allow histogram triggers to add variables that can perform
calculations against the event's fields.
- Use the linker to determine architecture callbacks from the ftrace
trampoline to allow for proper parameter prototypes and prevent
warnings from the compiler.
- Extend histogram triggers to key off of variables.
- Have trace recursion use bit magic to determine preempt context over
if branches.
- Have trace recursion disable preemption as all use cases do anyway.
- Added testing for verification of tracing utilities.
- Various small clean ups and fixes.

Pull x86 fpu updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Cleanup of extable fixup handling to be more robust, which in turn
allows to make the FPU exception fixups more robust as well.
- Change the return code for signal frame related failures from
explicit error codes to a boolean fail/success as that's all what the
calling code evaluates.
- A large refactoring of the FPU code to prepare for adding AMX
support:
- Distangle the public header maze and remove especially the
misnomed kitchen sink internal.h which is despite it's name
included all over the place.
- Add a proper abstraction for the register buffer storage (struct
fpstate) which allows to dynamically size the buffer at runtime
by flipping the pointer to the buffer container from the default
container which is embedded in task_struct::tread::fpu to a
dynamically allocated container with a larger register buffer.
- Convert the code over to the new fpstate mechanism.
- Consolidate the KVM FPU handling by moving the FPU related code
into the FPU core which removes the number of exports and avoids
adding even more export when AMX has to be supported in KVM.
This also removes duplicated code which was of course
unnecessary different and incomplete in the KVM copy.
- Simplify the KVM FPU buffer handling by utilizing the new
fpstate container and just switching the buffer pointer from the
user space buffer to the KVM guest buffer when entering
vcpu_run() and flipping it back when leaving the function. This
cuts the memory requirements of a vCPU for FPU buffers in half
and avoids pointless memory copy operations.
This also solves the so far unresolved problem of adding AMX
support because the current FPU buffer handling of KVM inflicted
a circular dependency between adding AMX support to the core and
to KVM. With the new scheme of switching fpstate AMX support can
be added to the core code without affecting KVM.
- Replace various variables with proper data structures so the
extra information required for adding dynamically enabled FPU
features (AMX) can be added in one place
- Add AMX (Advanced Matrix eXtensions) support (finally):
AMX is a large XSTATE component which is going to be available with
Saphire Rapids XEON CPUs. The feature comes with an extra MSR
(MSR_XFD) which allows to trap the (first) use of an AMX related
instruction, which has two benefits:
1) It allows the kernel to control access to the feature
2) It allows the kernel to dynamically allocate the large register
state buffer instead of burdening every task with the the extra
8K or larger state storage.
It would have been great to gain this kind of control already with
AVX512.
The support comes with the following infrastructure components:
1) arch_prctl() to
- read the supported features (equivalent to XGETBV(0))
- read the permitted features for a task
- request permission for a dynamically enabled feature
Permission is granted per process, inherited on fork() and
cleared on exec(). The permission policy of the kernel is
restricted to sigaltstack size validation, but the syscall
obviously allows further restrictions via seccomp etc.
2) A stronger sigaltstack size validation for sys_sigaltstack(2)
which takes granted permissions and the potentially resulting
larger signal frame into account. This mechanism can also be used
to enforce factual sigaltstack validation independent of dynamic
features to help with finding potential victims of the 2K
sigaltstack size constant which is broken since AVX512 support
was added.
3) Exception handling for #NM traps to catch first use of a extended
feature via a new cause MSR. If the exception was caused by the
use of such a feature, the handler checks permission for that
feature. If permission has not been granted, the handler sends a
SIGILL like the #UD handler would do if the feature would have
been disabled in XCR0. If permission has been granted, then a new
fpstate which fits the larger buffer requirement is allocated.
In the unlikely case that this allocation fails, the handler
sends SIGSEGV to the task. That's not elegant, but unavoidable as
the other discussed options of preallocation or full per task
permissions come with their own set of horrors for kernel and/or
userspace. So this is the lesser of the evils and SIGSEGV caused
by unexpected memory allocation failures is not a fundamentally
new concept either.
When allocation succeeds, the fpstate properties are filled in to
reflect the extended feature set and the resulting sizes, the
fpu::fpstate pointer is updated accordingly and the trap is
disarmed for this task permanently.
4) Enumeration and size calculations
5) Trap switching via MSR_XFD
The XFD (eXtended Feature Disable) MSR is context switched with
the same life time rules as the FPU register state itself. The
mechanism is keyed off with a static key which is default
disabled so !AMX equipped CPUs have zero overhead. On AMX enabled
CPUs the overhead is limited by comparing the tasks XFD value
with a per CPU shadow variable to avoid redundant MSR writes. In
case of switching from a AMX using task to a non AMX using task
or vice versa, the extra MSR write is obviously inevitable.
All other places which need to be aware of the variable feature
sets and resulting variable sizes are not affected at all because
they retrieve the information (feature set, sizes) unconditonally
from the fpstate properties.
6) Enable the new AMX states
Note, this is relatively new code despite the fact that AMX support
is in the works for more than a year now.
The big refactoring of the FPU code, which allowed to do a proper
integration has been started exactly 3 weeks ago. Refactoring of the
existing FPU code and of the original AMX patches took a week and has
been subject to extensive review and testing. The only fallout which
has not been caught in review and testing right away was restricted
to AMX enabled systems, which is completely irrelevant for anyone
outside Intel and their early access program. There might be dragons
lurking as usual, but so far the fine grained refactoring has held up
and eventual yet undetected fallout is bisectable and should be
easily addressable before the 5.16 release. Famous last words...
Many thanks to Chang Bae and Dave Hansen for working hard on this and
also to the various test teams at Intel who reserved extra capacity
to follow the rapid development of this closely which provides the
confidence level required to offer this rather large update for
inclusion into 5.16-rc1

Add a test case for stacktrace from kretprobe handler and
nested kretprobe handlers.
This test checks both of stack trace inside kretprobe handler
and stack trace from pt_regs. Those stack trace must include
actual function return address instead of kretprobe trampoline.
The nested kretprobe stacktrace test checks whether the unwinder
can correctly unwind the call frame on the stack which has been
modified by the kretprobe.
Since the stacktrace on kretprobe is correctly fixed only on x86,
this introduces a meta kconfig ARCH_CORRECT_STACKTRACE_ON_KRETPROBE
which tells user that the stacktrace on kretprobe is correct or not.
The test results will be shown like below;

For historical reasons MINSIGSTKSZ is a constant which became already too
small with AVX512 support.
Add a mechanism to enforce strict checking of the sigaltstack size against
the real size of the FPU frame.
The strict check can be enabled via a config option and can also be
controlled via the kernel command line option 'strict_sas_size' independent
of the config switch.
Enabling it might break existing applications which allocate a too small
sigaltstack but 'work' because they never get a signal delivered. Though it
can be handy to filter out binaries which are not yet aware of
AT_MINSIGSTKSZ.
Also the upcoming support for dynamically enabled FPU features requires a
strict sanity check to ensure that:
- Enabling of a dynamic feature, which changes the sigframe size fits
into an enabled sigaltstack
- Installing a too small sigaltstack after a dynamic feature has been
added is not possible.
Implement the base check which is controlled by config and command line
options.

The function graph tracer is going to now depend on
ARCH_SUPPORTS_FTRACE_OPS, as that also means that it can support ftrace
args. Since ARCH_SUPPORTS_FTRACE_OPS depends on DYNAMIC_FTRACE, this
means that the function graph tracer for x86_64 will need to depend on
DYNAMIC_FTRACE.

There are x86 CPU architectures (e.g. Jacobsville) where L2 cahce is
shared among a cluster of cores instead of being exclusive to one
single core.
To prevent oversubscription of L2 cache, load should be balanced
between such L2 clusters, especially for tasks with no shared data.
On benchmark such as SPECrate mcf test, this change provides a boost
to performance especially on medium load system on Jacobsville. on a
Jacobsville that has 24 Atom cores, arranged into 6 clusters of 4
cores each, the benchmark number is as follow:
Improvement over baseline kernel for mcf_r
copies run time base rate
1 -0.1% -0.2%
6 25.1% 25.1%
12 18.8% 19.0%
24 0.3% 0.3%
So this looks pretty good. In terms of the system's task distribution,
some pretty bad clumping can be seen for the vanilla kernel without
the L2 cluster domain for the 6 and 12 copies case. With the extra
domain for cluster, the load does get evened out between the clusters.
Note this patch isn't an universal win as spreading isn't necessarily
a win, particually for those workload who can benefit from packing.

This Kconfig option was added initially so that memory encryption is
enabled by default on machines which support it.
However, devices which have DMA masks that are less than the bit
position of the encryption bit, aka C-bit, require the use of an IOMMU
or the use of SWIOTLB.
If the IOMMU is disabled or in passthrough mode, the kernel would switch
to SWIOTLB bounce-buffering for those transfers.
In order to avoid that,
2cc13bb4f59f ("iommu: Disable passthrough mode when SME is active")
disables the default IOMMU passthrough mode so that devices for which the
default 256K DMA is insufficient, can use the IOMMU instead.
However 2, there are cases where the IOMMU is disabled in the BIOS, etc.
(think the usual hardware folk "oops, I dropped the ball there" cases) or a
driver doesn't properly use the DMA APIs or a device has a firmware or
hardware bug, e.g.:
ea68573d408f ("drm/amdgpu: Fail to load on RAVEN if SME is active")
However 3, in the above GPU use case, there are APIs like Vulkan and
some OpenGL/OpenCL extensions which are under the assumption that
user-allocated memory can be passed in to the kernel driver and both the
GPU and CPU can do coherent and concurrent access to the same memory.
That cannot work with SWIOTLB bounce buffers, of course.
So, in order for those devices to function, drop the "default y" for the
SME by default active option so that users who want to have SME enabled,
will need to either enable it in their config or use "mem_encrypt=on" on
the kernel command line.
