Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "Arm:

   - Add support for tracing in the standalone EL2 hypervisor code,
     which should help both debugging and performance analysis. 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-&gt;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-&gt;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-&gt;arch.cr2 when updating vmcb12's CR2 on nested #VMEXIT
     instead of vmcb02-&gt;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"

Pull ACPI support updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These include an update of the CMOS RTC driver and the related ACPI
  and x86 code that, among other things, switches it over to using the
  platform device interface for device binding on x86 instead of the PNP
  device driver interface (which allows the code in question to be
  simplified quite a bit), a major update of the ACPI Time and Alarm
  Device (TAD) driver adding an RTC class device interface to it, and
  updates of core ACPI drivers that remove some unnecessary and not
  really useful code from them.

  Apart from that, two drivers are converted to using the platform
  driver interface for device binding instead of the ACPI driver one,
  which is slated for removal, support for the Performance Limited
  register is added to the ACPI CPPC library and there are some
  janitorial updates of it and the related cpufreq CPPC driver, the ACPI
  processor driver is fixed and cleaned up, and NVIDIA vendor CPER
  record handler is added to the APEI GHES code.

  Also, the interface for obtaining a CPU UID from ACPI is consolidated
  across architectures and used for fixing a problem with the PCI TPH
  Steering Tag on ARM64, there are two updates related to ACPICA, a
  minor ACPI OS Services Layer (OSL) update, and a few assorted updates
  related to ACPI tables parsing.

  Specifics:

   - Update maintainers information regarding ACPICA (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Replace strncpy() with strscpy_pad() in acpi_ut_safe_strncpy()
     (Kees Cook)

   - Trigger an ordered system power off after encountering a fatal
     error operator in AML (Armin Wolf)

   - Enable ACPI FPDT parsing on LoongArch (Xi Ruoyao)

   - Remove the temporary stop-gap acpi_pptt_cache_v1_full structure
     from the ACPI PPTT parser (Ben Horgan)

   - Add support for exposing ACPI FPDT subtables FBPT and S3PT (Nate
     DeSimone)

   - Address multiple assorted issues and clean up the code in the ACPI
     processor idle driver (Huisong Li)

   - Replace strlcat() in the ACPI processor idle drive with a better
     alternative (Andy Shevchenko)

   - Rearrange and clean up acpi_processor_errata_piix4() (Rafael
     Wysocki)

   - Move reference performance to capabilities and fix an uninitialized
     variable in the ACPI CPPC library (Pengjie Zhang)

   - Add support for the Performance Limited Register to the ACPI CPPC
     library (Sumit Gupta)

   - Add cppc_get_perf() API to read performance controls, extend
     cppc_set_epp_perf() for FFH/SystemMemory, and make the ACPI CPPC
     library warn on missing mandatory DESIRED_PERF register (Sumit
     Gupta)

   - Modify the cpufreq CPPC driver to update MIN_PERF/MAX_PERF in
     target callbacks to allow it to control performance bounds via
     standard scaling_min_freq and scaling_max_freq sysfs attributes and
     add sysfs documentation for the Performance Limited Register to it
     (Sumit Gupta)

   - Add ACPI support to the platform device interface in the CMOS RTC
     driver, make the ACPI core device enumeration code create a
     platform device for the CMOS RTC, and drop CMOS RTC PNP device
     support (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Consolidate the x86-specific CMOS RTC handling with the ACPI TAD
     driver and clean up the CMOS RTC ACPI address space handler (Rafael
     Wysocki)

   - Enable ACPI alarm in the CMOS RTC driver if advertised in ACPI FADT
     and allow that driver to work without a dedicated IRQ if the ACPI
     alarm is used (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Clean up the ACPI TAD driver in various ways and add an RTC class
     device interface, including both the RTC setting/reading and alarm
     timer support, to it (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Clean up the ACPI AC and ACPI PAD (processor aggregator device)
     drivers (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Rework checking for duplicate video bus devices and consolidate
     pnp.bus_id workarounds handling in the ACPI video bus driver
     (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Update the ACPI core device drivers to stop setting
     acpi_device_name() unnecessarily (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Rearrange code using acpi_device_class() in the ACPI core device
     drivers and update them to stop setting acpi_device_class()
     unnecessarily (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Define ACPI_AC_CLASS in one place (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Convert the ni903x_wdt watchdog driver and the xen ACPI PAD driver
     to bind to platform devices instead of ACPI devices (Rafael
     Wysocki)

   - Add devm_ghes_register_vendor_record_notifier(), use it in the PCI
     hisi driver, and Add NVIDIA vendor CPER record handler (Kai-Heng
     Feng)

   - Consolidate the interface for obtaining a CPU UID from ACPI across
     architectures and use it to address incorrect PCI TPH Steering Tag
     on ARM64 resulting from the invalid assumption that the ACPI
     Processor UID would always be the same as the corresponding logical
     CPU ID in Linux (Chengwen Feng)"

<title>LoongArch: KVM: Make vcpu_is_preempted() as a macro rather than function</title>

vcpu_is_preempted() is performance sensitive that called in function
osq_lock(), here make it as a macro. So that parameter is not parsed
at most time, it can avoid cache line thrashing across numa nodes.

Here is part of UnixBench result on Loongson-3C5000 DualWay machine with
32 cores and 2 numa nodes.

          original    inline   macro
execl     7025.7      6991.2   7242.3
fstime    474.6       703.1    1071

From the test result, making vcpu_is_preempted() as a macro is the best,
and there is some improvment compared with the original function method.

As a step towards unifying the interface for retrieving ACPI CPU UID
across architectures, introduce a new function acpi_get_cpu_uid() for
loongarch. While at it, add input validation to make the code more
robust.

<title>LoongArch: Override arch_dynirq_lower_bound to reserve LPC IRQs</title>

Loongson 7A PCH chips all contain a LPC controller, which is used in
some devices to connect legacy ISA devices (e.g. 8259 PS/2 controller).

The LPC irqchip driver will register LPC interrupts at the fixed range
0~15, and the PCH PIC irqchip driver uses dynamic allocation. However the
LPC interrupt numbers are currently not exempted from dynamic allocation.

The current setup work by accident because the LPC interrupt controller is
the first consumer of PIC interrupt controller, and the PIC interrupt
number is allocated after LPC interrupts are registered. Such setup is
fragile and will stop to work when the LPC irqchip driver is reworked.

Override arch_dynirq_lower_bound() to reserve LPC interrupts from dynamic
allocation, to prevent interrupt number collision and allow rework of the
LPC irqchip driver.

<title>LoongArch: vDSO: Emit GNU_EH_FRAME correctly</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e4878c37f6679fdea91b27a0f4e60a871f0b7bad</id>

With -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables and --no-eh-frame-hdr (the default
of the linker), the GNU_EH_FRAME segment (specified by vdso.lds.S) is
empty.  This is not valid, as the current DWARF specification mandates
the first byte of the EH frame to be the version number 1.  It causes
some unwinders to complain, for example the ClickHouse query profiler
spams the log with messages:

    clickhouse-server[365854]: libunwind: unsupported .eh_frame_hdr
    version: 127 at 7ffffffb0000

Here "127" is just the byte located at the p_vaddr (0, i.e. the
beginning of the vDSO) of the empty GNU_EH_FRAME segment. Cross-
checking with /proc/365854/maps has also proven 7ffffffb0000 is the
start of vDSO in the process VM image.

In LoongArch the -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables option seems just a
MIPS legacy, and MIPS only uses this option to satisfy the MIPS-specific
"genvdso" program, per the commit cfd75c2db17e ("MIPS: VDSO: Explicitly
use -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables").  IIRC it indicates some inherent
limitation of the MIPS ELF ABI and has nothing to do with LoongArch.  So
we can simply flip it over to -fasynchronous-unwind-tables and pass
--eh-frame-hdr for linking the vDSO, allowing the profilers to unwind the
stack for statistics even if the sample point is taken when the PC is in
the vDSO.

However simply adjusting the options above would exploit an issue: when
the libgcc unwinder saw the invalid GNU_EH_FRAME segment, it silently
falled back to a machine-specific routine to match the code pattern of
rt_sigreturn() and extract the registers saved in the sigframe if the
code pattern is matched.  As unwinding from signal handlers is vital for
libgcc to support pthread cancellation etc., the fall-back routine had
been silently keeping the LoongArch Linux systems functioning since
Linux 5.19.  But when we start to emit GNU_EH_FRAME with the correct
format, fall-back routine will no longer be used and libgcc will fail
to unwind the sigframe, and unwinding from signal handlers will no
longer work, causing dozens of glibc test failures.  To make it possible
to unwind from signal handlers again, it's necessary to code the unwind
info in __vdso_rt_sigreturn via .cfi_* directives.

The offsets in the .cfi_* directives depend on the layout of struct
sigframe, notably the offset of sigcontext in the sigframe.  To use the
offset in the assembly file, factor out struct sigframe into a header to
allow asm-offsets.c to output the offset for assembly.

To work around a long-term issue in the libgcc unwinder (the pc is
unconditionally substracted by 1: doing so is technically incorrect for
a signal frame), a nop instruction is included with the two real
instructions in __vdso_rt_sigreturn in the same FDE PC range.  The same
hack has been used on x86 for a long time.

1. Replace "of_find_node_by_path("/")" with "of_root" to avoid multiple
calls to "of_node_put()".

2. Fix a potential kernel oops during early boot when memory allocation
fails while parsing CPU model from device tree.
