Pull x86 ITS mitigation from Dave Hansen:
"Mitigate Indirect Target Selection (ITS) issue.
I'd describe this one as a good old CPU bug where the behavior is
_obviously_ wrong, but since it just results in bad predictions it
wasn't wrong enough to notice. Well, the researchers noticed and also
realized that thus bug undermined a bunch of existing indirect branch
mitigations.
Thus the unusually wide impact on this one. Details:
ITS is a bug in some Intel CPUs that affects indirect branches
including RETs in the first half of a cacheline. Due to ITS such
branches may get wrongly predicted to a target of (direct or indirect)
branch that is located in the second half of a cacheline. Researchers
at VUSec found this behavior and reported to Intel.
Affected processors:
- Cascade Lake, Cooper Lake, Whiskey Lake V, Coffee Lake R, Comet
Lake, Ice Lake, Tiger Lake and Rocket Lake.
Scope of impact:
- Guest/host isolation:
When eIBRS is used for guest/host isolation, the indirect branches
in the VMM may still be predicted with targets corresponding to
direct branches in the guest.
- Intra-mode using cBPF:
cBPF can be used to poison the branch history to exploit ITS.
Realigning the indirect branches and RETs mitigates this attack
vector.
- User/kernel:
With eIBRS enabled user/kernel isolation is *not* impacted by ITS.
- Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier (IBPB):
Due to this bug indirect branches may be predicted with targets
corresponding to direct branches which were executed prior to IBPB.
This will be fixed in the microcode.
Mitigation:
As indirect branches in the first half of cacheline are affected, the
mitigation is to replace those indirect branches with a call to thunk that
is aligned to the second half of the cacheline.
RETs that take prediction from RSB are not affected, but they may be
affected by RSB-underflow condition. So, RETs in the first half of
cacheline are also patched to a return thunk that executes the RET aligned
to second half of cacheline"

FineIBT-paranoid was using the retpoline bytes for the paranoid check,
disabling retpolines, because all parts that have IBT also have eIBRS
and thus don't need no stinking retpolines.
Except... ITS needs the retpolines for indirect calls must not be in
the first half of a cacheline :-/
So what was the paranoid call sequence:
<fineibt_paranoid_start>:
0: 41 ba 78 56 34 12 mov $0x12345678, %r10d
6: 45 3b 53 f7 cmp -0x9(%r11), %r10d
a: 4d 8d 5b <f0> lea -0x10(%r11), %r11
e: 75 fd jne d <fineibt_paranoid_start+0xd>
10: 41 ff d3 call *%r11
13: 90 nop
Now becomes:
<fineibt_paranoid_start>:
0: 41 ba 78 56 34 12 mov $0x12345678, %r10d
6: 45 3b 53 f7 cmp -0x9(%r11), %r10d
a: 4d 8d 5b f0 lea -0x10(%r11), %r11
e: 2e e8 XX XX XX XX cs call __x86_indirect_paranoid_thunk_r11
Where the paranoid_thunk looks like:
1d: <ea> (bad)
__x86_indirect_paranoid_thunk_r11:
1e: 75 fd jne 1d
__x86_indirect_its_thunk_r11:
20: 41 ff eb jmp *%r11

ITS mitigation moves the unsafe indirect branches to a safe thunk. This
could degrade the prediction accuracy as the source address of indirect
branches becomes same for different execution paths.
To improve the predictions, and hence the performance, assign a separate
thunk for each indirect callsite. This is also a defense-in-depth measure
to avoid indirect branches aliasing with each other.
As an example, 5000 dynamic thunks would utilize around 16 bits of the
address space, thereby gaining entropy. For a BTB that uses
32 bits for indexing, dynamic thunks could provide better prediction
accuracy over fixed thunks.
Have ITS thunks be variable sized and use EXECMEM_MODULE_TEXT such that
they are both more flexible (got to extend them later) and live in 2M TLBs,
just like kernel code, avoiding undue TLB pressure.

Ice Lake generation CPUs are not affected by guest/host isolation part of
ITS. If a user is only concerned about KVM guests, they can now choose a
new cmdline option "vmexit" that will not deploy the ITS mitigation when
CPU is not affected by guest/host isolation. This saves the performance
overhead of ITS mitigation on Ice Lake gen CPUs.
When "vmexit" option selected, if the CPU is affected by ITS guest/host
isolation, the default ITS mitigation is deployed.

RETs in the lower half of cacheline may be affected by ITS bug,
specifically when the RSB-underflows. Use ITS-safe return thunk for such
RETs.
RETs that are not patched:
- RET in retpoline sequence does not need to be patched, because the
sequence itself fills an RSB before RET.
- RET in Call Depth Tracking (CDT) thunks __x86_indirect_{call|jump}_thunk
and call_depth_return_thunk are not patched because CDT by design
prevents RSB-underflow.
- RETs in .init section are not reachable after init.
- RETs that are explicitly marked safe with ANNOTATE_UNRET_SAFE.

Due to ITS, indirect branches in the lower half of a cacheline may be
vulnerable to branch target injection attack.
Introduce ITS-safe thunks to patch indirect branches in the lower half of
cacheline with the thunk. Also thunk any eBPF generated indirect branches
in emit_indirect_jump().
Below category of indirect branches are not mitigated:
- Indirect branches in the .init section are not mitigated because they are
discarded after boot.
- Indirect branches that are explicitly marked retpoline-safe.
Note that retpoline also mitigates the indirect branches against ITS. This
is because the retpoline sequence fills an RSB entry before RET, and it
does not suffer from RSB-underflow part of the ITS.

Consolidate the whole logic which determines whether the microcode loader
should be enabled or not into a single function and call it everywhere.
Well, almost everywhere - not in mk_early_pgtbl_32() because there the kernel
is running without paging enabled and checking dis_ucode_ldr et al would
require physical addresses and uglification of the code.
But since this is 32-bit, the easier thing to do is to simply map the initrd
unconditionally especially since that mapping is getting removed later anyway
by zap_early_initrd_mapping() and avoid the uglification.
In doing so, address the issue of old 486er machines without CPUID
support, not booting current kernels.

Recently _pgd_alloc() was switched from using __get_free_pages() to
pagetable_alloc_noprof(), which might return a compound page in case
the allocation order is larger than 0.
On x86 this will be the case if CONFIG_MITIGATION_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION
is set, even if PTI has been disabled at runtime.
When running as a Xen PV guest (this will always disable PTI), using
a compound page for a PGD will result in VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS being
triggered when the Xen code tries to pin the PGD.
Fix the Xen issue together with the not needed 8k allocation for a
PGD with PTI disabled by replacing PGD_ALLOCATION_ORDER with an
inline helper returning the needed order for PGD allocations.

IBPB is expected to clear the RSB. However, if X86_BUG_IBPB_NO_RET is
set, that doesn't happen. Make indirect_branch_prediction_barrier()
take that into account by calling write_ibpb() which clears RSB on
X86_BUG_IBPB_NO_RET:
/* Make sure IBPB clears return stack preductions too. */
FILL_RETURN_BUFFER %rax, RSB_CLEAR_LOOPS, X86_BUG_IBPB_NO_RET
Note that, as of the previous patch, write_ibpb() also reads
'x86_pred_cmd' in order to use SBPB when applicable:
movl _ASM_RIP(x86_pred_cmd), %eax
Therefore that existing behavior in indirect_branch_prediction_barrier()
is not lost.

Wrap the TDP MMU page counter in CONFIG_KVM_PROVE_MMU so that the sanity
check is omitted from production builds, and more importantly to remove
the atomic accesses to account pages. A one-off memory leak in production
is relatively uninteresting, and a WARN_ON won't help mitigate a systemic
issue; it's as much about helping triage memory leaks as it is about
detecting them in the first place, and doesn't magically stop the leaks.
I.e. production environments will be quite sad if a severe KVM bug escapes,
regardless of whether or not KVM WARNs.

TDX guests aren't expected to use the HLT instruction directly. It

is just to avoid HLT in the first place. Plus, the kernel already has
paravirt infrastructure that makes it relatively painless.
Make TDX guests require paravirt and add some TDX-specific paravirt
handlers which avoid HLT in the normal halt routines. Also add a
warning in case another HLT sneaks in.

improvement" on specjbb2015, probably because of the extra #VE

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- The series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from Uros
Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide
compile-time checking of percpu area accesses.
This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were
reported. In all cases the calling code was found to be incorrect.
- The series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some
relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code.
- The series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David
Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using
device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is
needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now
succeed.

Pull bpf relisient spinlock support from Alexei Starovoitov:
"This patch set introduces Resilient Queued Spin Lock (or rqspinlock
with res_spin_lock() and res_spin_unlock() APIs).
This is a qspinlock variant which recovers the kernel from a stalled
state when the lock acquisition path cannot make forward progress.
This can occur when a lock acquisition attempt enters a deadlock
situation (e.g. AA, or ABBA), or more generally, when the owner of the
lock (which we’re trying to acquire) isn’t making forward progress.
Deadlock detection is the main mechanism used to provide instant
recovery, with the timeout mechanism acting as a final line of
defense. Detection is triggered immediately when beginning the waiting
loop of a lock slow path.
Additionally, BPF programs attached to different parts of the kernel
can introduce new control flow into the kernel, which increases the
likelihood of deadlocks in code not written to handle reentrancy.
There have been multiple syzbot reports surfacing deadlocks in
internal kernel code due to the diverse ways in which BPF programs can
be attached to different parts of the kernel. By switching the BPF
subsystem’s lock usage to rqspinlock, all of these issues are
mitigated at runtime.
This spin lock implementation allows BPF maps to become safer and
remove mechanisms that have fallen short in assuring safety when
nesting programs in arbitrary ways in the same context or across
different contexts.
We run benchmarks that stress locking scalability and perform
comparison against the baseline (qspinlock). For the rqspinlock case,
we replace the default qspinlock with it in the kernel, such that all
spin locks in the kernel use the rqspinlock slow path. As such,
benchmarks that stress kernel spin locks end up exercising rqspinlock.
More details in the cover letter in commit 6ffb9017e932 ("Merge branch
'resilient-queued-spin-lock'")"

Direct HLT instruction execution causes #VEs for TDX VMs which is routed
to hypervisor via TDCALL. If HLT is executed in STI-shadow, resulting #VE
handler will enable interrupts before TDCALL is routed to hypervisor
leading to missed wakeup events, as current TDX spec doesn't expose
interruptibility state information to allow #VE handler to selectively
enable interrupts.
Commit bfe6ed0c6727 ("x86/tdx: Add HLT support for TDX guests")
prevented the idle routines from executing HLT instruction in STI-shadow.
But it missed the paravirt routine which can be reached via this path
as an example:
kvm_wait() =>
safe_halt() =>
raw_safe_halt() =>
arch_safe_halt() =>
irq.safe_halt() =>
pv_native_safe_halt()
To reliably handle arch_safe_halt() for TDX VMs, introduce explicit
dependency on CONFIG_PARAVIRT and override paravirt halt()/safe_halt()
routines with TDX-safe versions that execute direct TDCALL and needed
interrupt flag updates. Executing direct TDCALL brings in additional
benefit of avoiding HLT related #VEs altogether.
As tested by Ryan Afranji:
"Tested with the specjbb2015 benchmark. It has heavy lock contention which leads
to many halt calls. TDX VMs suffered a poor score before this patchset.
Verified the major performance improvement with this patchset applied."

CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL is mainly defined/used by XEN PV guests. For
other VM guest types, features supported under CONFIG_PARAVIRT
are self sufficient. CONFIG_PARAVIRT mainly provides support for
TLB flush operations and time related operations.
For TDX guest as well, paravirt calls under CONFIG_PARVIRT meets
most of its requirement except the need of HLT and SAFE_HLT
paravirt calls, which is currently defined under
CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL.
Since enabling CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL is too bloated for TDX guest
like platforms, move HLT and SAFE_HLT paravirt calls under
CONFIG_PARAVIRT.
Moving HLT and SAFE_HLT paravirt calls are not fatal and should not
break any functionality for current users of CONFIG_PARAVIRT.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"These are dominated by cpufreq updates which in turn are dominated by
updates related to boost support in the core and drivers and
amd-pstate driver optimizations.
Apart from the above, there are some cpuidle updates including a
rework of the most recent idle intervals handling in the venerable
menu governor that leads to significant improvements in some
performance benchmarks, as the governor is now more likely to predict
a shorter idle duration in some cases, and there are updates of the
core device power management code, mostly related to system suspend
and resume, that should help to avoid potential issues arising when
the drivers of devices depending on one another want to use different
optimizations.
There is also a usual collection of assorted fixes and cleanups,
including removal of some unused code.
Specifics:
- Manage sysfs attributes and boost frequencies efficiently from
cpufreq core to reduce boilerplate code in drivers (Viresh Kumar)
- Minor cleanups to cpufreq drivers (Aaron Kling, Benjamin Schneider,
Dhananjay Ugwekar, Imran Shaik, zuoqian)
- Migrate some cpufreq drivers to using for_each_present_cpu() (Jacky
Bai)
- cpufreq-qcom-hw DT binding fixes (Krzysztof Kozlowski)
- Use str_enable_disable() helper in cpufreq_online() (Lifeng Zheng)
- Optimize the amd-pstate driver to avoid cases where call paths end
up calling the same writes multiple times and needlessly caching
variables through code reorganization, locking overhaul and tracing
adjustments (Mario Limonciello, Dhananjay Ugwekar)
- Make it possible to avoid enabling capacity-aware scheduling (CAS)
in the intel_pstate driver and relocate a check for out-of-band
(OOB) platform handling in it to make it detect OOB before checking
HWP availability (Rafael Wysocki)
- Fix dbs_update() to avoid inadvertent conversions of negative
integer values to unsigned int which causes CPU frequency selection
to be inaccurate in some cases when the "conservative" cpufreq
governor is in use (Jie Zhan)
- Update the handling of the most recent idle intervals in the menu
cpuidle governor to prevent useful information from being discarded
by it in some cases and improve the prediction accuracy (Rafael
Wysocki)
- Make it possible to tell the intel_idle driver to ignore its
built-in table of idle states for the given processor, clean up the
handling of auto-demotion disabling on Baytrail and Cherrytrail
chips in it, and update its MAINTAINERS entry (David Arcari, Artem
Bityutskiy, Rafael Wysocki)
- Make some cpuidle drivers use for_each_present_cpu() instead of
for_each_possible_cpu() during initialization to avoid issues
occurring when nosmp or maxcpus=0 are used (Jacky Bai)
- Clean up the Energy Model handling code somewhat (Rafael Wysocki)
- Use kfree_rcu() to simplify the handling of runtime Energy Model
updates (Li RongQing)
- Add an entry for the Energy Model framework to MAINTAINERS as
properly maintained (Lukasz Luba)
- Address RCU-related sparse warnings in the Energy Model code
(Rafael Wysocki)
- Remove ENERGY_MODEL dependency on SMP and allow it to be selected
when DEVFREQ is set without CPUFREQ so it can be used on a wider
range of systems (Jeson Gao)
- Unify error handling during runtime suspend and runtime resume in
the core to help drivers to implement more consistent runtime PM
error handling (Rafael Wysocki)
- Drop a redundant check from pm_runtime_force_resume() and rearrange
documentation related to __pm_runtime_disable() (Rafael Wysocki)
- Rework the handling of the "smart suspend" driver flag in the PM
core to avoid issues hat may occur when drivers using it depend on
some other drivers and clean up the related PM core code (Rafael
Wysocki, Colin Ian King)
- Fix the handling of devices with the power.direct_complete flag set
if device_suspend() returns an error for at least one device to
avoid situations in which some of them may not be resumed (Rafael
Wysocki)
- Use mutex_trylock() in hibernate_compressor_param_set() to avoid a
possible deadlock that may occur if the "compressor" hibernation
module parameter is accessed during the registration of a new
ieee80211 device (Lizhi Xu)
- Suppress sleeping parent warning in device_pm_add() in the case
when new children are added under a device with the
power.direct_complete set after it has been processed by
device_resume() (Xu Yang)
- Remove needless return in three void functions related to system
wakeup (Zijun Hu)
- Replace deprecated kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page() in the
hibernation core code (David Reaver)
- Remove unused helper functions related to system sleep (David Alan
Gilbert)
- Clean up s2idle_enter() so it does not lock and unlock CPU offline
in vain and update comments in it (Ulf Hansson)
- Clean up broken white space in dpm_wait_for_children() (Geert
Uytterhoeven)
- Update the cpupower utility to fix lib version-ing in it and memory
leaks in error legs, remove hard-coded values, and implement CPU

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM:
- Nested virtualization support for VGICv3, giving the nested
hypervisor control of the VGIC hardware when running an L2 VM
- Removal of 'late' nested virtualization feature register masking,
making the supported feature set directly visible to userspace
- Support for emulating FEAT_PMUv3 on Apple silicon, taking advantage
of an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED trap that covers all PMUv3 registers
- Paravirtual interface for discovering the set of CPU
implementations where a VM may run, addressing a longstanding issue
of guest CPU errata awareness in big-little systems and
cross-implementation VM migration
- Userspace control of the registers responsible for identifying a
particular CPU implementation (MIDR_EL1, REVIDR_EL1, AIDR_EL1),
allowing VMs to be migrated cross-implementation
- pKVM updates, including support for tracking stage-2 page table
allocations in the protected hypervisor in the 'SecPageTable' stat
- Fixes to vPMU, ensuring that userspace updates to the vPMU after
KVM_RUN are reflected into the backing perf events
LoongArch:
- Remove unnecessary header include path
- Assume constant PGD during VM context switch
- Add perf events support for guest VM
RISC-V:
- Disable the kernel perf counter during configure
- KVM selftests improvements for PMU
- Fix warning at the time of KVM module removal
x86:
- Add support for aging of SPTEs without holding mmu_lock.
Not taking mmu_lock allows multiple aging actions to run in
parallel, and more importantly avoids stalling vCPUs. This includes
an implementation of per-rmap-entry locking; aging the gfn is done
with only a per-rmap single-bin spinlock taken, whereas locking an
rmap for write requires taking both the per-rmap spinlock and the
mmu_lock.
Note that this decreases slightly the accuracy of accessed-page
information, because changes to the SPTE outside aging might not
use atomic operations even if they could race against a clear of
the Accessed bit.
This is deliberate because KVM and mm/ tolerate false
positives/negatives for accessed information, and testing has shown
that reducing the latency of aging is far more beneficial to
overall system performance than providing "perfect" young/old
information.
- Defer runtime CPUID updates until KVM emulates a CPUID instruction,
to coalesce updates when multiple pieces of vCPU state are
changing, e.g. as part of a nested transition
- Fix a variety of nested emulation bugs, and add VMX support for
synthesizing nested VM-Exit on interception (instead of injecting
#UD into L2)
- Drop "support" for async page faults for protected guests that do
not set SEND_ALWAYS (i.e. that only want async page faults at CPL3)
- Bring a bit of sanity to x86's VM teardown code, which has
accumulated a lot of cruft over the years. Particularly, destroy
vCPUs before the MMU, despite the latter being a VM-wide operation
- Add common secure TSC infrastructure for use within SNP and in the
future TDX
- Block KVM_CAP_SYNC_REGS if guest state is protected. It does not
make sense to use the capability if the relevant registers are not
available for reading or writing
- Don't take kvm->lock when iterating over vCPUs in the suspend
notifier to fix a largely theoretical deadlock
- Use the vCPU's actual Xen PV clock information when starting the
Xen timer, as the cached state in arch.hv_clock can be stale/bogus
- Fix a bug where KVM could bleed PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED across
different PV clocks; restrict PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED to kvmclock, as
KVM's suspend notifier only accounts for kvmclock, and there's no
evidence that the flag is actually supported by Xen guests
- Clean up the per-vCPU "cache" of its reference pvclock, and instead
only track the vCPU's TSC scaling (multipler+shift) metadata (which
is moderately expensive to compute, and rarely changes for modern
setups)
- Don't write to the Xen hypercall page on MSR writes that are
initiated by the host (userspace or KVM) to fix a class of bugs
where KVM can write to guest memory at unexpected times, e.g.
during vCPU creation if userspace has set the Xen hypercall MSR
index to collide with an MSR that KVM emulates
- Restrict the Xen hypercall MSR index to the unofficial synthetic
range to reduce the set of possible collisions with MSRs that are
emulated by KVM (collisions can still happen as KVM emulates
Hyper-V MSRs, which also reside in the synthetic range)
- Clean up and optimize KVM's handling of Xen MSR writes and
xen_hvm_config
- Update Xen TSC leaves during CPUID emulation instead of modifying
the CPUID entries when updating PV clocks; there is no guarantee PV
clocks will be updated between TSC frequency changes and CPUID
emulation, and guest reads of the TSC leaves should be rare, i.e.
are not a hot path
x86 (Intel):
- Fix a bug where KVM unnecessarily reads XFD_ERR from hardware and
thus modifies the vCPU's XFD_ERR on a #NM due to CR0.TS=1
- Pass XFD_ERR as the payload when injecting #NM, as a preparatory
step for upcoming FRED virtualization support
- Decouple the EPT entry RWX protection bit macros from the EPT
Violation bits, both as a general cleanup and in anticipation of
adding support for emulating Mode-Based Execution Control (MBEC)
- Reject KVM_RUN if userspace manages to gain control and stuff
invalid guest state while KVM is in the middle of emulating nested
VM-Enter
- Add a macro to handle KVM's sanity checks on entry/exit VMCS
control pairs in anticipation of adding sanity checks for secondary
exit controls (the primary field is out of bits)
x86 (AMD):
- Ensure the PSP driver is initialized when both the PSP and KVM
modules are built-in (the initcall framework doesn't handle
dependencies)
- Use long-term pins when registering encrypted memory regions, so
that the pages are migrated out of MIGRATE_CMA/ZONE_MOVABLE and
don't lead to excessive fragmentation
- Add macros and helpers for setting GHCB return/error codes
- Add support for Idle HLT interception, which elides interception if
the vCPU has a pending, unmasked virtual IRQ when HLT is executed
- Fix a bug in INVPCID emulation where KVM fails to check for a
non-canonical address
- Don't attempt VMRUN for SEV-ES+ guests if the vCPU's VMSA is
invalid, e.g. because the vCPU was "destroyed" via SNP's AP
Creation hypercall
- Reject SNP AP Creation if the requested SEV features for the vCPU
don't match the VM's configured set of features
Selftests:
- Fix again the Intel PMU counters test; add a data load and do
CLFLUSH{OPT} on the data instead of executing code. The theory is
that modern Intel CPUs have learned new code prefetching tricks
that bypass the PMU counters
- Fix a flaw in the Intel PMU counters test where it asserts that an
event is counting correctly without actually knowing what the event
counts on the underlying hardware
- Fix a variety of flaws, bugs, and false failures/passes
dirty_log_test, and improve its coverage by collecting all dirty
entries on each iteration
- Fix a few minor bugs related to handling of stats FDs
- Add infrastructure to make vCPU and VM stats FDs available to tests
by default (open the FDs during VM/vCPU creation)
- Relax an assertion on the number of HLT exits in the xAPIC IPI test
when running on a CPU that supports AMD's Idle HLT (which elides
interception of HLT if a virtual IRQ is pending and unmasked)"

Pull VDSO infrastructure updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Consolidate the VDSO storage
The VDSO data storage and data layout has been largely architecture
specific for historical reasons. That increases the maintenance
effort and causes inconsistencies over and over.
There is no real technical reason for architecture specific layouts
and implementations. The architecture specific details can easily be
integrated into a generic layout, which also reduces the amount of
duplicated code for managing the mappings.
Convert all architectures over to a unified layout and common mapping
infrastructure. This splits the VDSO data layout into subsystem
specific blocks, timekeeping, random and architecture parts, which
provides a better structure and allows to improve and update the
functionalities without conflict and interaction.
- Rework the timekeeping data storage
The current implementation is designed for exposing system
timekeeping accessors, which was good enough at the time when it was
designed.
PTP and Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) change that as there are
requirements to expose independent PTP clocks, which are not related
to system timekeeping.
Replace the monolithic data storage by a structured layout, which
allows to add support for independent PTP clocks on top while reusing
both the data structures and the time accessor implementations.

For X86_FEATURE_SMAP alternatives which replace NOP with STAC or CLAC,
uaccess validation skips the NOP branch to avoid following impossible
code paths, e.g. where a STAC would be patched but a CLAC wouldn't.
However, it's not safe to assume an X86_FEATURE_SMAP alternative is
patching STAC/CLAC. There can be other alternatives, like
static_cpu_has(), where both branches need to be validated.
Fix that by repurposing ANNOTATE_IGNORE_ALTERNATIVE for skipping either
original instructions or new ones. This is a more generic approach
which enables the removal of the feature checking hacks and the
insn->ignore bit.
Fixes the following warnings:
arch/x86/mm/fault.o: warning: objtool: do_user_addr_fault+0x8ec: __stack_chk_fail() missing __noreturn in .c/.h or NORETURN() in noreturns.h

Merge cpufreq updates for 6.15-rc1:
- Manage sysfs attributes and boost frequencies efficiently from
cpufreq core to reduce boilerplate code from drivers (Viresh Kumar).
- Minor cleanups to cpufreq drivers (Aaron Kling, Benjamin Schneider,
Dhananjay Ugwekar, Imran Shaik, and zuoqian).
- Migrate some cpufreq drivers to using for_each_present_cpu() (Jacky
Bai).
- cpufreq-qcom-hw DT binding fixes (Krzysztof Kozlowski).
- Use str_enable_disable() helper in cpufreq_online() (Lifeng Zheng).
- Optimize the amd-pstate driver to avoid cases where call paths end
up calling the same writes multiple times and needlessly caching
variables through code reorganization, locking overhaul and tracing
adjustments (Mario Limonciello, Dhananjay Ugwekar).
- Make it possible to avoid enabling capacity-aware scheduling (CAS) in
the intel_pstate driver and relocate a check for out-of-band (OOB)
platform handling in it to make it detect OOB before checking HWP
availability (Rafael Wysocki).
- Fix dbs_update() to avoid inadvertent conversions of negative integer
values to unsigned int which causes CPU frequency selection to be
inaccurate in some cases when the "conservative" cpufreq governor is
in use (Jie Zhan).

Commit:
010c4a461c1d ("x86/speculation: Simplify and make CALL_NOSPEC consistent")
added an #ifdef CONFIG_MITIGATION_RETPOLINE around the CALL_NOSPEC definition.
This is not required as this code is already under a larger #ifdef.
Remove the extra #ifdef, no functional change.
vmlinux size remains same before and after this change:
CONFIG_MITIGATION_RETPOLINE=y:

Clang does not tolerate the use of non-TLS symbols for the per-CPU stack
protector very well, and to work around this limitation, the symbol
passed via the -mstack-protector-guard-symbol= option is never defined
in C code, but only in the linker script, and it is exported from an
assembly file. This is necessary because Clang will fail to generate the
correct %GS based references in a compilation unit that includes a
non-TLS definition of the guard symbol being used to store the stack
cookie.
This problem is only triggered by symbol definitions, not by
declarations, but nonetheless, the declaration in <asm/asm-prototypes.h>
is conditional on __GENKSYMS__ being #define'd, so that only genksyms
will observe it, but for ordinary compilation, it will be invisible.
This is causing problems with the genksyms alternative gendwarfksyms,
which does not #define __GENKSYMS__, does not observe the symbol
declaration, and therefore lacks the information it needs to version it.
Adding the #define creates problems in other places, so that is not a
straight-forward solution. So take the easy way out, and drop the
conditional on __GENKSYMS__, as this is not really needed to begin with.
