Pull x86 fixes from Ingo Molnar: - Fix SEV guest boot failures in certain circumstances, due to very early code relying on a BSS-zeroed variable that isn't actually zeroed yet an may contain non-zero bootup values Move the variable into the .data section go gain even earlier zeroing - Expose & allow the IBPB-on-Entry feature on SNP guests, which was not properly exposed to guests due to initial implementational caution - Fix O= build failure when CONFIG_EFI_SBAT_FILE is using relative file paths - Fix the various SNC (Sub-NUMA Clustering) topology enumeration bugs/artifacts (sched-domain build errors mostly). SNC enumeration data got more complicated with Granite Rapids X (GNR) and Clearwater Forest X (CWF), which exposed these bugs and made their effects more serious - Also use the now sane(r) SNC code to fix resctrl SNC detection bugs - Work around a historic libgcc unwinder bug in the vdso32 sigreturn code (again), which regressed during an overly aggressive recent cleanup of DWARF annotations * tag 'x86-urgent-2026-03-08' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/entry/vdso32: Work around libgcc unwinder bug x86/resctrl: Fix SNC detection x86/topo: Fix SNC topology mess x86/topo: Replace x86_has_numa_in_package x86/topo: Add topology_num_nodes_per_package() x86/numa: Store extra copy of numa_nodes_parsed x86/boot: Handle relative CONFIG_EFI_SBAT_FILE file paths x86/sev: Allow IBPB-on-Entry feature for SNP guests x86/boot/sev: Move SEV decompressor variables into the .data section

x86/resctrl: Fix SNC detection

2026-03-04T15:35:09Z

Now that the x86 topology code has a sensible nodes-per-package measure, that does not depend on the online status of CPUs, use this to divinate the SNC mode. Note that when Cluster on Die (CoD) is configured on older systems this will also show multiple NUMA nodes per package. Intel Resource Director Technology is incomaptible with CoD. Print a warning and do not use the fixup MSR_RMID_SNC_CONFIG.

x86/topo: Fix SNC topology mess

2026-03-04T15:35:09Z

Per 4d6dd05d07d0 ("sched/topology: Fix sched domain build error for GNR, CWF in SNC-3 mode"), the original crazy SNC-3 SLIT table was: node distances: node 0 1 2 3 4 5 0: 10 15 17 21 28 26 1: 15 10 15 23 26 23 2: 17 15 10 26 23 21 3: 21 28 26 10 15 17 4: 23 26 23 15 10 15 5: 26 23 21 17 15 10 And per: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250825075642.GQ3245006@noisy.programming.kicks-ass.net/ The suggestion was to average the off-trace clusters to restore sanity. However, 4d6dd05d07d0 implements this under various assumptions: - anything GNR/CWF with numa_in_package; - there will never be more than 2 packages; - the off-trace cluster will have distance >20 And then HPE shows up with a machine that matches the Vendor-Family-Model checks but looks like this: Here's an 8 socket (2 chassis) HPE system with SNC enabled: node 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 0: 10 12 16 16 16 16 18 18 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 1: 12 10 16 16 16 16 18 18 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 2: 16 16 10 12 18 18 16 16 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 3: 16 16 12 10 18 18 16 16 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 4: 16 16 18 18 10 12 16 16 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 5: 16 16 18 18 12 10 16 16 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 6: 18 18 16 16 16 16 10 12 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 7: 18 18 16 16 16 16 12 10 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 8: 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 10 12 16 16 16 16 18 18 9: 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 12 10 16 16 16 16 18 18 10: 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 16 16 10 12 18 18 16 16 11: 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 16 16 12 10 18 18 16 16 12: 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 16 16 18 18 10 12 16 16 13: 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 16 16 18 18 12 10 16 16 14: 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 18 18 16 16 16 16 10 12 15: 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 18 18 16 16 16 16 12 10 10 = Same chassis and socket 12 = Same chassis and socket (SNC) 16 = Same chassis and adjacent socket 18 = Same chassis and non-adjacent socket 40 = Different chassis Turns out, the 'max 2 packages' thing is only relevant to the SNC-3 parts, the smaller parts do 8 sockets (like usual). The above SLIT table is sane, but violates the previous assumptions and trips a WARN. Now that the topology code has a sensible measure of nodes-per-package, we can use that to divinate the SNC mode at hand, and only fix up SNC-3 topologies. There is a 'healthy' amount of paranoia code validating the assumptions on the SLIT table, a simple pr_err(FW_BUG) print on failure and a fallback to using the regular table. Lets see how long this lasts :-) Fixes: 4d6dd05d07d0 ("sched/topology: Fix sched domain build error for GNR, CWF in SNC-3 mode") Reported-by: Kyle Meyer Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Reviewed-by: Ingo Molnar Tested-by: K Prateek Nayak Tested-by: Zhang Rui Tested-by: Chen Yu Tested-by: Kyle Meyer Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260303110100.238361290@infradead.org

x86/topo: Add topology_num_nodes_per_package()

2026-03-04T15:35:08Z

Use the MADT and SRAT table data to compute __num_nodes_per_package. Specifically, SRAT has already been parsed in x86_numa_init(), which is called before acpi_boot_init() which parses MADT. So both are available in topology_init_possible_cpus(). This number is useful to divinate the various Intel CoD/SNC and AMD NPS modes, since the platforms are failing to provide this otherwise. Doing it this way is independent of the number of online CPUs and other such shenanigans.

x86/xen: Build identity mapping page tables dynamically for XENPV

2026-03-03T13:21:44Z

After commit 47ffe0578aee ("x86/pvh: Add 64bit relocation page tables"), the PVH entry uses a new set of page tables instead of the preconstructed page tables in head64.S. Since those preconstructed page tables are only used in XENPV now and XENPV does not actually need the preconstructed identity page tables directly, they can be filled in xen_setup_kernel_pagetable(). Therefore, build the identity mapping page table dynamically to remove the preconstructed page tables and make the code cleaner.

kbuild: Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS

2026-02-26T18:50:19Z

Commit 3e86e4d74c04 ("kbuild: keep .modinfo section in vmlinux.unstripped") added .modinfo to ELF_DETAILS while removing it from COMMON_DISCARDS, as it was needed in vmlinux.unstripped and ELF_DETAILS was present in all architecture specific vmlinux linker scripts. While this shuffle is fine for vmlinux, ELF_DETAILS and COMMON_DISCARDS may be used by other linker scripts, such as the s390 and x86 compressed boot images, which may not expect to have a .modinfo section. In certain circumstances, this could result in a bootloader failing to load the compressed kernel [1]. Commit ddc6cbef3ef1 ("s390/boot/vmlinux.lds.S: Ensure bzImage ends with SecureBoot trailer") recently addressed this for the s390 bzImage but the same bug remains for arm, parisc, and x86. The presence of .modinfo in the x86 bzImage was the root cause of the issue worked around with commit d50f21091358 ("kbuild: align modinfo section for Secureboot Authenticode EDK2 compat"). misc.c in arch/x86/boot/compressed includes lib/decompress_unzstd.c, which in turn includes lib/xxhash.c and its MODULE_LICENSE / MODULE_DESCRIPTION macros due to the STATIC definition. Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS into its own macro and handle it in all vmlinux linker scripts. Discard .modinfo in the places where it was previously being discarded from being in COMMON_DISCARDS, as it has never been necessary in those uses.
