This uses the new infrastructure for 'remote' trace buffers that can be exposed by non-kernel entities such as firmware, and which came through the tracing tree - Add support for GICv5 Per Processor Interrupts (PPIs), as the starting point for supporting the new GIC architecture in KVM - Finally add support for pKVM protected guests, where pages are unmapped from the host as they are faulted into the guest and can be shared back from the guest using pKVM hypercalls. Protected guests are created using a new machine type identifier. As the elusive guestmem has not yet delivered on its promises, anonymous memory is also supported This is only a first step towards full isolation from the host; for example, the CPU register state and DMA accesses are not yet isolated. Because this does not really yet bring fully what it promises, it is hidden behind CONFIG_ARM_PKVM_GUEST + 'kvm-arm.mode=protected', and also triggers TAINT_USER when a VM is created. Caveat emptor - Rework the dreaded user_mem_abort() function to make it more maintainable, reducing the amount of state being exposed to the various helpers and rendering a substantial amount of state immutable - Expand the Stage-2 page table dumper to support NV shadow page tables on a per-VM basis - Tidy up the pKVM PSCI proxy code to be slightly less hard to follow - Fix both SPE and TRBE in non-VHE configurations so that they do not generate spurious, out of context table walks that ultimately lead to very bad HW lockups - A small set of patches fixing the Stage-2 MMU freeing in error cases - Tighten-up accepted SMC immediate value to be only #0 for host SMCCC calls - The usual cleanups and other selftest churn LoongArch: - Use CSR_CRMD_PLV for kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel() - Add DMSINTC irqchip in kernel support RISC-V: - Fix steal time shared memory alignment checks - Fix vector context allocation leak - Fix array out-of-bounds in pmu_ctr_read() and pmu_fw_ctr_read_hi() - Fix double-free of sdata in kvm_pmu_clear_snapshot_area() - Fix integer overflow in kvm_pmu_validate_counter_mask() - Fix shift-out-of-bounds in make_xfence_request() - Fix lost write protection on huge pages during dirty logging - Split huge pages during fault handling for dirty logging - Skip CSR restore if VCPU is reloaded on the same core - Implement kvm_arch_has_default_irqchip() for KVM selftests - Factored-out ISA checks into separate sources - Added hideleg to struct kvm_vcpu_config - Factored-out VCPU config into separate sources - Support configuration of per-VM HGATP mode from KVM user space s390: - Support for ESA (31-bit) guests inside nested hypervisors - Remove restriction on memslot alignment, which is not needed anymore with the new gmap code - Fix LPSW/E to update the bear (which of course is the breaking event address register) x86: - Shut up various UBSAN warnings on reading module parameter before they were initialized - Don't zero-allocate page tables that are used for splitting hugepages in the TDP MMU, as KVM is guaranteed to set all SPTEs in the page table and thus write all bytes - As an optimization, bail early when trying to unsync 4KiB mappings if the target gfn can just be mapped with a 2MiB hugepage x86 generic: - Copy single-chunk MMIO write values into struct kvm_vcpu (more precisely struct kvm_mmio_fragment) to fix use-after-free stack bugs where KVM would dereference stack pointer after an exit to userspace - Clean up and comment the emulated MMIO code to try to make it easier to maintain (not necessarily "easy", but "easier") - Move VMXON+VMXOFF and EFER.SVME toggling out of KVM (not *all* of VMX and SVM enabling) as it is needed for trusted I/O - Advertise support for AVX512 Bit Matrix Multiply (BMM) instructions - Immediately fail the build if a required #define is missing in one of KVM's headers that is included multiple times - Reject SET_GUEST_DEBUG with -EBUSY if there's an already injected exception, mostly to prevent syzkaller from abusing the uAPI to trigger WARNs, but also because it can help prevent userspace from unintentionally crashing the VM - Exempt SMM from CPUID faulting on Intel, as per the spec - Misc hardening and cleanup changes x86 (AMD): - Fix and optimize IRQ window inhibit handling for AVIC; make it per-vCPU so that KVM doesn't prematurely re-enable AVIC if multiple vCPUs have to-be-injected IRQs - Clean up and optimize the OSVW handling, avoiding a bug in which KVM would overwrite state when enabling virtualization on multiple CPUs in parallel. This should not be a problem because OSVW should usually be the same for all CPUs - Drop a WARN in KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION where KVM complains about a "too large" size based purely on user input - Clean up and harden the pinning code for KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION - Disallow synchronizing a VMSA of an already-launched/encrypted vCPU, as doing so for an SNP guest will crash the host due to an RMP violation page fault - Overhaul KVM's APIs for detecting SEV+ guests so that VM-scoped queries are required to hold kvm->lock, and enforce it by lockdep. Fix various bugs where sev_guest() was not ensured to be stable for the whole duration of a function or ioctl - Convert a pile of kvm->lock SEV code to guard() - Play nicer with userspace that does not enable KVM_CAP_EXCEPTION_PAYLOAD, for which KVM needs to set CR2 and DR6 as a response to ioctls such as KVM_GET_VCPU_EVENTS (even if the payload would end up in EXITINFO2 rather than CR2, for example). Only set CR2 and DR6 when consumption of the payload is imminent, but on the other hand force delivery of the payload in all paths where userspace retrieves CR2 or DR6 - Use vcpu->arch.cr2 when updating vmcb12's CR2 on nested #VMEXIT instead of vmcb02->save.cr2. The value is out of sync after a save/restore or after a #PF is injected into L2 - Fix a class of nSVM bugs where some fields written by the CPU are not synchronized from vmcb02 to cached vmcb12 after VMRUN, and so are not up-to-date when saved by KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE - Fix a class of bugs where the ordering between KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE and KVM_SET_{S}REGS could cause vmcb02 to be incorrectly initialized after save+restore - Add a variety of missing nSVM consistency checks - Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly update VMCB fields on nested #VMEXIT - Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly synthesize #UD or #GP for SVM-related instructions - Add support for save+restore of virtualized LBRs (on SVM) - Refactor various helpers and macros to improve clarity and (hopefully) make the code easier to maintain - Aggressively sanitize fields when copying from vmcb12, to guard against unintentionally allowing L1 to utilize yet-to-be-defined features - Fix several bugs where KVM botched rAX legality checks when emulating SVM instructions. There are remaining issues in that KVM doesn't handle size prefix overrides for 64-bit guests - Fail emulation of VMRUN/VMLOAD/VMSAVE if mapping vmcb12 fails instead of somewhat arbitrarily synthesizing #GP (i.e. don't double down on AMD's architectural but sketchy behavior of generating #GP for "unsupported" addresses) - Cache all used vmcb12 fields to further harden against TOCTOU bugs x86 (Intel): - Drop obsolete branch hint prefixes from the VMX instruction macros - Use ASM_INPUT_RM() in __vmcs_writel() to coerce clang into using a register input when appropriate - Code cleanups guest_memfd: - Don't mark guest_memfd folios as accessed, as guest_memfd doesn't support reclaim, the memory is unevictable, and there is no storage to write back to LoongArch selftests: - Add KVM PMU test cases s390 selftests: - Enable more memory selftests x86 selftests: - Add support for Hygon CPUs in KVM selftests - Fix a bug in the MSR test where it would get false failures on AMD/Hygon CPUs with exactly one of RDPID or RDTSCP - Add an MADV_COLLAPSE testcase for guest_memfd as a regression test for a bug where the kernel would attempt to collapse guest_memfd folios against KVM's will" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (373 commits) KVM: x86: use inlines instead of macros for is_sev_*guest x86/virt: Treat SVM as unsupported when running as an SEV+ guest KVM: SEV: Goto an existing error label if charging misc_cg for an ASID fails KVM: SVM: Move lock-protected allocation of SEV ASID into a separate helper KVM: SEV: use mutex guard in snp_handle_guest_req() KVM: SEV: use mutex guard in sev_mem_enc_unregister_region() KVM: SEV: use mutex guard in sev_mem_enc_ioctl() KVM: SEV: use mutex guard in snp_launch_update() KVM: SEV: Assert that kvm->lock is held when querying SEV+ support KVM: SEV: Document that checking for SEV+ guests when reclaiming memory is "safe" KVM: SEV: Hide "struct kvm_sev_info" behind CONFIG_KVM_AMD_SEV=y KVM: SEV: WARN on unhandled VM type when initializing VM KVM: LoongArch: selftests: Add PMU overflow interrupt test KVM: LoongArch: selftests: Add basic PMU event counting test KVM: LoongArch: selftests: Add cpucfg read/write helpers LoongArch: KVM: Add DMSINTC inject msi to vCPU LoongArch: KVM: Add DMSINTC device support LoongArch: KVM: Make vcpu_is_preempted() as a macro rather than function LoongArch: KVM: Move host CSR_GSTAT save and restore in context switch LoongArch: KVM: Move host CSR_EENTRY save and restore in context switch ... 2026-04-17T03:11:56Z Linus Torvalds torvalds@linux-foundation.org 2026-04-17T03:11:56Z urn:sha1:440d6635b20037bc9ad46b20817d7b61cef0fc1b Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton: - "pid: make sub-init creation retryable" (Oleg Nesterov) Make creation of init in a new namespace more robust by clearing away some historical cruft which is no longer needed.

I can't do better than to quote Christoph: "The XOR library used for the RAID5 parity is a bit of a mess right now. The main file sits in crypto/ despite not being cryptography and not using the crypto API, with the generic implementations sitting in include/asm-generic and the arch implementations sitting in an asm/ header in theory. The latter doesn't work for many cases, so architectures often build the code directly into the core kernel, or create another module for the architecture code. Change this to a single module in lib/ that also contains the architecture optimizations, similar to the library work Eric Biggers has done for the CRC and crypto libraries later. After that it changes to better calling conventions that allow for smarter architecture implementations (although none is contained here yet), and uses static_call to avoid indirection function call overhead" - "lib/list_sort: Clean up list_sort() scheduling workarounds" (Kuan-Wei Chiu) Clean up this library code by removing a hacky thing which was added for UBIFS, which UBIFS doesn't actually need - "Fix bugs in extract_iter_to_sg()" (Christian Ehrhardt) Fix a few bugs in the scatterlist code, add in-kernel tests for the now-fixed bugs and fix a leak in the test itself - "kdump: Enable LUKS-encrypted dump target support in ARM64 and PowerPC" (Coiby Xu) Enable support of the LUKS-encrypted device dump target on arm64 and powerpc - "ocfs2: consolidate extent list validation into block read callbacks" (Joseph Qi) Cleanup, simplify, and make more robust ocfs2's validation of extent list fields (Kernel test robot loves mounting corrupted fs images!) * tag 'mm-nonmm-stable-2026-04-15-04-20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (127 commits) ocfs2: validate group add input before caching ocfs2: validate bg_bits during freefrag scan ocfs2: fix listxattr handling when the buffer is full doc: watchdog: fix typos etc update Sean's email address ocfs2: use get_random_u32() where appropriate ocfs2: split transactions in dio completion to avoid credit exhaustion ocfs2: remove redundant l_next_free_rec check in __ocfs2_find_path() ocfs2: validate extent block list fields during block read ocfs2: remove empty extent list check in ocfs2_dx_dir_lookup_rec() ocfs2: validate dx_root extent list fields during block read ocfs2: fix use-after-free in ocfs2_fault() when VM_FAULT_RETRY ocfs2: handle invalid dinode in ocfs2_group_extend .get_maintainer.ignore: add Askar ocfs2: validate bg_list extent bounds in discontig groups checkpatch: exclude forward declarations of const structs tools/accounting: handle truncated taskstats netlink messages taskstats: set version in TGID exit notifications ocfs2/heartbeat: fix slot mapping rollback leaks on error paths arm64,ppc64le/kdump: pass dm-crypt keys to kdump kernel ... 2026-04-14T23:48:56Z Linus Torvalds torvalds@linux-foundation.org 2026-04-14T23:48:56Z urn:sha1:c43267e6794a36013fd495a4d81bf7f748fe4615 Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas: "The biggest changes are MPAM enablement in drivers/resctrl and new PMU support under drivers/perf.

Add support for tracing in the standalone EL2 hypervisor code, which should help both debugging and performance analysis. This comes with a full infrastructure for 'remote' trace buffers that can be exposed by non-kernel entities such as firmware. - Add support for GICv5 Per Processor Interrupts (PPIs), as the starting point for supporting the new GIC architecture in KVM. - Finally add support for pKVM protected guests, with anonymous memory being used as a backing store. About time! * Improvements and bug fixes: - Rework the dreaded user_mem_abort() function to make it more maintainable, reducing the amount of state being exposed to the various helpers and rendering a substantial amount of state immutable. - Expand the Stage-2 page table dumper to support NV shadow page tables on a per-VM basis. - Tidy up the pKVM PSCI proxy code to be slightly less hard to follow. - Fix both SPE and TRBE in non-VHE configurations so that they do not generate spurious, out of context table walks that ultimately lead to very bad HW lockups. - A small set of patches fixing the Stage-2 MMU freeing in error cases. - Tighten-up accepted SMC immediate value to be only #0 for host SMCCC calls. - The usual cleanups and other selftest churn. 2026-04-10T13:22:24Z Catalin Marinas catalin.marinas@arm.com 2026-04-10T13:22:24Z urn:sha1:480a9e57cceaf42db6ff874dbfe91de201935035 * arm64/for-next/perf: : Perf updates perf/arm-cmn: Fix resource_size_t printk specifier in arm_cmn_init_dtc() perf/arm-cmn: Fix incorrect error check for devm_ioremap() perf: add NVIDIA Tegra410 C2C PMU perf: add NVIDIA Tegra410 CPU Memory Latency PMU perf/arm_cspmu: nvidia: Add Tegra410 PCIE-TGT PMU perf/arm_cspmu: nvidia: Add Tegra410 PCIE PMU perf/arm_cspmu: Add arm_cspmu_acpi_dev_get perf/arm_cspmu: nvidia: Add Tegra410 UCF PMU perf/arm_cspmu: nvidia: Rename doc to Tegra241 perf/arm-cmn: Stop claiming entire iomem region arm64: cpufeature: Use pmuv3_implemented() function arm64: cpufeature: Make PMUVer and PerfMon unsigned KVM: arm64: Read PMUVer as unsigned * arm64/for-next/read-once: : Fixes for __READ_ONCE() with CONFIG_LTO=y arm64, compiler-context-analysis: Permit alias analysis through __READ_ONCE() with CONFIG_LTO=y arm64: Optimize __READ_ONCE() with CONFIG_LTO=y * for-next/misc: : Miscellaneous cleanups/fixes arm64: rsi: use linear-map alias for realm config buffer arm64: Kconfig: fix duplicate word in CMDLINE help text arm64: mte: Skip TFSR_EL1 checks and barriers in synchronous tag check mode arm64/hwcap: Generate the KERNEL_HWCAP_ definitions for the hwcaps arm64: kexec: Remove duplicate allocation for trans_pgd arm64: mm: Use generic enum pgtable_level arm64: scs: Remove redundant save/restore of SCS SP on entry to/from EL0 arm64: remove ARCH_INLINE_* * for-next/tlbflush: : Refactor the arm64 TLB invalidation API and implementation arm64: mm: __ptep_set_access_flags must hint correct TTL arm64: mm: Provide level hint for flush_tlb_page() arm64: mm: Wrap flush_tlb_page() around __do_flush_tlb_range() arm64: mm: More flags for __flush_tlb_range() arm64: mm: Refactor __flush_tlb_range() to take flags arm64: mm: Refactor flush_tlb_page() to use __tlbi_level_asid() arm64: mm: Simplify __flush_tlb_range_limit_excess() arm64: mm: Simplify __TLBI_RANGE_NUM() macro arm64: mm: Re-implement the __flush_tlb_range_op macro in C arm64: mm: Inline __TLBI_VADDR_RANGE() into __tlbi_range() arm64: mm: Push __TLBI_VADDR() into __tlbi_level() arm64: mm: Implicitly invalidate user ASID based on TLBI operation arm64: mm: Introduce a C wrapper for by-range TLB invalidation arm64: mm: Re-implement the __tlbi_level macro as a C function * for-next/ttbr-macros-cleanup: : Cleanups of the TTBR1_* macros arm64/mm: Directly use TTBRx_EL1_CnP arm64/mm: Directly use TTBRx_EL1_ASID_MASK arm64/mm: Describe TTBR1_BADDR_4852_OFFSET * for-next/kselftest: : arm64 kselftest updates selftests/arm64: Implement cmpbr_sigill() to hwcap test * for-next/feat_lsui: : Futex support using FEAT_LSUI instructions to avoid toggling PAN arm64: armv8_deprecated: Disable swp emulation when FEAT_LSUI present arm64: Kconfig: Add support for LSUI KVM: arm64: Use CAST instruction for swapping guest descriptor arm64: futex: Support futex with FEAT_LSUI arm64: futex: Refactor futex atomic operation KVM: arm64: kselftest: set_id_regs: Add test for FEAT_LSUI KVM: arm64: Expose FEAT_LSUI to guests arm64: cpufeature: Add FEAT_LSUI * for-next/mpam: (40 commits) : Expose MPAM to user-space via resctrl: : -
