Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Deprecate auto-mounting tracefs to /sys/kernel/debug/tracing When tracefs was first introduced back in 2014, the directory /sys/kernel/tracing was added and is the designated location to mount tracefs. To keep backward compatibility, tracefs was auto-mounted in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing as well. All distros now mount tracefs on /sys/kernel/tracing. Having it seen in two different locations has lead to various issues and inconsistencies. The VFS folks have to also maintain debugfs_create_automount() for this single user. It's been over 10 years. Tooling and scripts should start replacing the debugfs location with the tracefs one. The reason tracefs was created in the first place was to allow access to the tracing facilities without the need to configure debugfs into the kernel. Using tracefs should now be more robust. A new config is created: CONFIG_TRACEFS_AUTOMOUNT_DEPRECATED which is default y, so that the kernel is still built with the automount. This config allows those that want to remove the automount from debugfs to do so. When tracefs is accessed from /sys/kernel/debug/tracing, the following printk is triggerd: pr_warn("NOTICE: Automounting of tracing to debugfs is deprecated and will be removed in 2030\n"); This gives users another 5 years to fix their scripts. - Use queue_rcu_work() instead of call_rcu() for freeing event filters The number of filters to be free can be many depending on the number of events within an event system. Freeing them from softirq context can potentially cause undesired latency. Use the RCU workqueue to free them instead. - Remove pointless memory barriers in latency code Memory barriers were added to some of the latency code a long time ago with the idea of "making them visible", but that's not what memory barriers are for. They are to synchronize access between different variables. There was no synchronization here making them pointless. - Remove "__attribute__()" from the type field of event format When LLVM is used to compile the kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y and PAHOLE_HAS_BTF_TAG=y, some of the format fields get expanded with the following: field:const char * filename; offset:24; size:8; signed:0; Turns into: field:const char __attribute__((btf_type_tag("user"))) * filename; offset:24; size:8; signed:0; This confuses parsers. Add code to strip these tags from the strings. - Add eprobe config option CONFIG_EPROBE_EVENTS Eprobes were added back in 5.15 but were only enabled when another probe was enabled (kprobe, fprobe, uprobe, etc). The eprobes had no config option of their own. Add one as they should be a separate entity. It's default y to keep with the old kernels but still has dependencies on TRACING and HAVE_REGS_AND_STACK_ACCESS_API. - Add eprobe documentation When eprobes were added back in 5.15 no documentation was added to describe them. This needs to be rectified. - Replace open coded cpumask_next_wrap() in move_to_next_cpu() - Have preemptirq_delay_run() use off-stack CPU mask - Remove obsolete comment about pelt_cfs event DECLARE_TRACE() appends "_tp" to trace events now, but the comment above pelt_cfs still mentioned appending it manually. - Remove EVENT_FILE_FL_SOFT_MODE flag The SOFT_MODE flag was required when the soft enabling and disabling of trace events was first introduced. But there was a bug with this approach as it only worked for a single instance. When multiple users required soft disabling and disabling the code was changed to have a ref count. The SOFT_MODE flag is now set iff the ref count is non zero. This is redundant and just reading the ref count is good enough. - Fix typo in comment * tag 'trace-v6.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: Documentation: tracing: Add documentation about eprobes tracing: Have eprobes have their own config option tracing: Remove "__attribute__()" from the type field of event format tracing: Deprecate auto-mounting tracefs in debugfs tracing: Fix comment in trace_module_remove_events() tracing: Remove EVENT_FILE_FL_SOFT_MODE flag tracing: Remove pointless memory barriers tracing/sched: Remove obsolete comment on suffixes kernel: trace: preemptirq_delay_test: use offstack cpu mask tracing: Use queue_rcu_work() to free filters tracing: Replace opencoded cpumask_next_wrap() in move_to_next_cpu()

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: "As usual, many cleanups. The below blurbiage describes 42 patchsets. 21 of those are partially or fully cleanup work. "cleans up", "cleanup", "maintainability", "rationalizes", etc. I never knew the MM code was so dirty. "mm: ksm: prevent KSM from breaking merging of new VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes) addresses an issue with KSM's PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE mode: newly mapped VMAs were not eligible for merging with existing adjacent VMAs. "mm/damon: introduce DAMON_STAT for simple and practical access monitoring" (SeongJae Park) adds a new kernel module which simplifies the setup and usage of DAMON in production environments. "stop passing a writeback_control to swap/shmem writeout" (Christoph Hellwig) is a cleanup to the writeback code which removes a couple of pointers from struct writeback_control. "drivers/base/node.c: optimization and cleanups" (Donet Tom) contains largely uncorrelated cleanups to the NUMA node setup and management code. "mm: userfaultfd: assorted fixes and cleanups" (Tal Zussman) does some maintenance work on the userfaultfd code. "Readahead tweaks for larger folios" (Ryan Roberts) implements some tuneups for pagecache readahead when it is reading into order>0 folios. "selftests/mm: Tweaks to the cow test" (Mark Brown) provides some cleanups and consistency improvements to the selftests code. "Optimize mremap() for large folios" (Dev Jain) does that. A 37% reduction in execution time was measured in a memset+mremap+munmap microbenchmark. "Remove zero_user()" (Matthew Wilcox) expunges zero_user() in favor of the more modern memzero_page(). "mm/huge_memory: vmf_insert_folio_*() and vmf_insert_pfn_pud() fixes" (David Hildenbrand) addresses some warts which David noticed in the huge page code. These were not known to be causing any issues at this time. "mm/damon: use alloc_migrate_target() for DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD" (SeongJae Park) provides some cleanup and consolidation work in DAMON. "use vm_flags_t consistently" (Lorenzo Stoakes) uses vm_flags_t in places where we were inappropriately using other types. "mm/memfd: Reserve hugetlb folios before allocation" (Vivek Kasireddy) increases the reliability of large page allocation in the memfd code. "mm: Remove pXX_devmap page table bit and pfn_t type" (Alistair Popple) removes several now-unneeded PFN_* flags. "mm/damon: decouple sysfs from core" (SeongJae Park) implememnts some cleanup and maintainability work in the DAMON sysfs layer. "madvise cleanup" (Lorenzo Stoakes) does quite a lot of cleanup/maintenance work in the madvise() code. "madvise anon_name cleanups" (Vlastimil Babka) provides additional cleanups on top or Lorenzo's effort. "Implement numa node notifier" (Oscar Salvador) creates a standalone notifier for NUMA node memory state changes. Previously these were lumped under the more general memory on/offline notifier. "Make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a standalone bit" (Zi Yan) cleans up the pageblock isolation code and fixes a potential issue which doesn't seem to cause any problems in practice. "selftests/damon: add python and drgn based DAMON sysfs functionality tests" (SeongJae Park) adds additional drgn- and python-based DAMON selftests which are more comprehensive than the existing selftest suite. "Misc rework on hugetlb faulting path" (Oscar Salvador) fixes a rather obscure deadlock in the hugetlb fault code and follows that fix with a series of cleanups. "cma: factor out allocation logic from __cma_declare_contiguous_nid" (Mike Rapoport) rationalizes and cleans up the highmem-specific code in the CMA allocator. "mm/migration: rework movable_ops page migration (part 1)" (David Hildenbrand) provides cleanups and future-preparedness to the migration code. "mm/damon: add trace events for auto-tuned monitoring intervals and DAMOS quota" (SeongJae Park) adds some tracepoints to some DAMON auto-tuning code. "mm/damon: fix misc bugs in DAMON modules" (SeongJae Park) does that. "mm/damon: misc cleanups" (SeongJae Park) also does what it claims. "mm: folio_pte_batch() improvements" (David Hildenbrand) cleans up the large folio PTE batching code. "mm/damon/vaddr: Allow interleaving in migrate_{hot,cold} actions" (SeongJae Park) facilitates dynamic alteration of DAMON's inter-node allocation policy. "Remove unmap_and_put_page()" (Vishal Moola) provides a couple of page->folio conversions. "mm: per-node proactive reclaim" (Davidlohr Bueso) implements a per-node control of proactive reclaim - beyond the current memcg-based implementation. "mm/damon: remove damon_callback" (SeongJae Park) replaces the damon_callback interface with a more general and powerful damon_call()+damos_walk() interface. "mm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes) implements a number of mremap cleanups (of course) in preparation for adding new mremap() functionality: newly permit the remapping of multiple VMAs when the user is specifying MREMAP_FIXED. It still excludes some specialized situations where this cannot be performed reliably. "drop hugetlb_free_pgd_range()" (Anthony Yznaga) switches some sparc hugetlb code over to the generic version and removes the thus-unneeded hugetlb_free_pgd_range(). "mm/damon/sysfs: support periodic and automated stats update" (SeongJae Park) augments the present userspace-requested update of DAMON sysfs monitoring files. Automatic update is now provided, along with a tunable to control the update interval. "Some randome fixes and cleanups to swapfile" (Kemeng Shi) does what is claims. "mm: introduce snapshot_page" (Luiz Capitulino and David Hildenbrand) provides (and uses) a means by which debug-style functions can grab a copy of a pageframe and inspect it locklessly without tripping over the races inherent in operating on the live pageframe directly. "use per-vma locks for /proc/pid/maps reads" (Suren Baghdasaryan) addresses the large contention issues which can be triggered by reads from that procfs file. Latencies are reduced by more than half in some situations. The series also introduces several new selftests for the /proc/pid/maps interface. "__folio_split() clean up" (Zi Yan) cleans up __folio_split()! "Optimize mprotect() for large folios" (Dev Jain) provides some quite large (>3x) speedups to mprotect() when dealing with large folios. "selftests/mm: reuse FORCE_READ to replace "asm volatile("" : "+r" (XXX));" and some cleanup" (wang lian) does some cleanup work in the selftests code. "tools/testing: expand mremap testing" (Lorenzo Stoakes) extends the mremap() selftest in several ways, including adding more checking of Lorenzo's recently added "permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" feature. "selftests/damon/sysfs.py: test all parameters" (SeongJae Park) extends the DAMON sysfs interface selftest so that it tests all possible user-requested parameters.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini: "ARM: - Host driver for GICv5, the next generation interrupt controller for arm64, including support for interrupt routing, MSIs, interrupt translation and wired interrupts - Use FEAT_GCIE_LEGACY on GICv5 systems to virtualize GICv3 VMs on GICv5 hardware, leveraging the legacy VGIC interface - Userspace control of the 'nASSGIcap' GICv3 feature, allowing userspace to disable support for SGIs w/o an active state on hardware that previously advertised it unconditionally - Map supporting endpoints with cacheable memory attributes on systems with FEAT_S2FWB and DIC where KVM no longer needs to perform cache maintenance on the address range - Nested support for FEAT_RAS and FEAT_DoubleFault2, allowing the guest hypervisor to inject external aborts into an L2 VM and take traps of masked external aborts to the hypervisor - Convert more system register sanitization to the config-driven implementation - Fixes to the visibility of EL2 registers, namely making VGICv3 system registers accessible through the VGIC device instead of the ONE_REG vCPU ioctls - Various cleanups and minor fixes LoongArch: - Add stat information for in-kernel irqchip - Add tracepoints for CPUCFG and CSR emulation exits - Enhance in-kernel irqchip emulation - Various cleanups RISC-V: - Enable ring-based dirty memory tracking - Improve perf kvm stat to report interrupt events - Delegate illegal instruction trap to VS-mode - MMU improvements related to upcoming nested virtualization s390x - Fixes x86: - Add CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC for x86 to allow disabling support for I/O APIC, PIC, and PIT emulation at compile time - Share device posted IRQ code between SVM and VMX and harden it against bugs and runtime errors - Use vcpu_idx, not vcpu_id, for GA log tag/metadata, to make lookups O(1) instead of O(n) - For MMIO stale data mitigation, track whether or not a vCPU has access to (host) MMIO based on whether the page tables have MMIO pfns mapped; using VFIO is prone to false negatives - Rework the MSR interception code so that the SVM and VMX APIs are more or less identical - Recalculate all MSR intercepts from scratch on MSR filter changes, instead of maintaining shadow bitmaps - Advertise support for LKGS (Load Kernel GS base), a new instruction that's loosely related to FRED, but is supported and enumerated independently - Fix a user-triggerable WARN that syzkaller found by setting the vCPU in INIT_RECEIVED state (aka wait-for-SIPI), and then putting the vCPU into VMX Root Mode (post-VMXON). Trying to detect every possible path leading to architecturally forbidden states is hard and even risks breaking userspace (if it goes from valid to valid state but passes through invalid states), so just wait until KVM_RUN to detect that the vCPU state isn't allowed - Add KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_APERFMPERF to allow disabling interception of APERF/MPERF reads, so that a "properly" configured VM can access APERF/MPERF. This has many caveats (APERF/MPERF cannot be zeroed on vCPU creation or saved/restored on suspend and resume, or preserved over thread migration let alone VM migration) but can be useful whenever you're interested in letting Linux guests see the effective physical CPU frequency in /proc/cpuinfo - Reject KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ for vm file descriptors if vCPUs have been created, as there's no known use case for changing the default frequency for other VM types and it goes counter to the very reason why the ioctl was added to the vm file descriptor. And also, there would be no way to make it work for confidential VMs with a "secure" TSC, so kill two birds with one stone - Dynamically allocation the shadow MMU's hashed page list, and defer allocating the hashed list until it's actually needed (the TDP MMU doesn't use the list) - Extract many of KVM's helpers for accessing architectural local APIC state to common x86 so that they can be shared by guest-side code for Secure AVIC - Various cleanups and fixes x86 (Intel): - Preserve the host's DEBUGCTL.FREEZE_IN_SMM when running the guest. Failure to honor FREEZE_IN_SMM can leak host state into guests - Explicitly check vmcs12.GUEST_DEBUGCTL on nested VM-Enter to prevent L1 from running L2 with features that KVM doesn't support, e.g. BTF x86 (AMD): - WARN and reject loading kvm-amd.ko instead of panicking the kernel if the nested SVM MSRPM offsets tracker can't handle an MSR (which is pretty much a static condition and therefore should never happen, but still) - Fix a variety of flaws and bugs in the AVIC device posted IRQ code - Inhibit AVIC if a vCPU's ID is too big (relative to what hardware supports) instead of rejecting vCPU creation - Extend enable_ipiv module param support to SVM, by simply leaving IsRunning clear in the vCPU's physical ID table entry - Disable IPI virtualization, via enable_ipiv, if the CPU is affected by erratum #1235, to allow (safely) enabling AVIC on such CPUs - Request GA Log interrupts if and only if the target vCPU is blocking, i.e. only if KVM needs a notification in order to wake the vCPU - Intercept SPEC_CTRL on AMD if the MSR shouldn't exist according to the vCPU's CPUID model - Accept any SNP policy that is accepted by the firmware with respect to SMT and single-socket restrictions. An incompatible policy doesn't put the kernel at risk in any way, so there's no reason for KVM to care - Drop a superfluous WBINVD (on all CPUs!) when destroying a VM and use WBNOINVD instead of WBINVD when possible for SEV cache maintenance - When reclaiming memory from an SEV guest, only do cache flushes on CPUs that have ever run a vCPU for the guest, i.e. don't flush the caches for CPUs that can't possibly have cache lines with dirty, encrypted data Generic: - Rework irqbypass to track/match producers and consumers via an xarray instead of a linked list. Using a linked list leads to O(n^2) insertion times, which is hugely problematic for use cases that create large numbers of VMs. Such use cases typically don't actually use irqbypass, but eliminating the pointless registration is a future problem to solve as it likely requires new uAPI - Track irqbypass's "token" as "struct eventfd_ctx *" instead of a "void *", to avoid making a simple concept unnecessarily difficult to understand - Decouple device posted IRQs from VFIO device assignment, as binding a VM to a VFIO group is not a requirement for enabling device posted IRQs - Clean up and document/comment the irqfd assignment code - Disallow binding multiple irqfds to an eventfd with a priority waiter, i.e. ensure an eventfd is bound to at most one irqfd through the entire host, and add a selftest to verify eventfd:irqfd bindings are globally unique - Add a tracepoint for KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES to help debug issues related to private <=> shared memory conversions - Drop guest_memfd's .getattr() implementation as the VFS layer will call generic_fillattr() if inode_operations.getattr is NULL - Fix issues with dirty ring harvesting where KVM doesn't bound the processing of entries in any way, which allows userspace to keep KVM in a tight loop indefinitely - Kill off kvm_arch_{start,end}_assignment() and x86's associated tracking, now that KVM no longer uses assigned_device_count as a heuristic for either irqbypass usage or MDS mitigation Selftests: - Fix a comment typo - Verify KVM is loaded when getting any KVM module param so that attempting to run a selftest without kvm.ko loaded results in a SKIP message about KVM not being loaded/enabled (versus some random parameter not existing) - Skip tests that hit EACCES when attempting to access a file, and print a "Root required?" help message.

Pull tracepoint cleanup from Steven Rostedt: "Remove or hide unused tracepoints Tracepoints take up memory (around 5K per tracepoint) even when they are unused. Changes are being made to detect when a tracepoint is defined but unused and a warning is shown at build. But those changes are not yet ready for inclusion. - Fix some of the unused tracepoints that it detected Some tracepoints were removed and others were hidden by config settings to match the config settings of where they are instantiated. Some tracepoints were moved into architecture specific code as only one architecture used them. - Call the ftrace_test_filter tracepoint in an unreachable if statement The ftrace_test_filter tracepoint which is defined when ftrace selftests are configured and is used to test the filter logic, but the tracepoint is not actually called. It is put into an if statement to not have it get compiled out, but also not warn for not being used" * tag 'trace-unused-v6.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: tracing: sched: Hide numa events under CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING powerpc/thp: tracing: Hide hugepage events under CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64 tracing: Call trace_ftrace_test_filter() for the event tracing: arm: arm64: Hide trace events ipi_raise, ipi_entry and ipi_exit binder: Remove unused binder lock events PM: tracing: Hide power_domain_target event under ARCH_OMAP2PLUS PM: tracing: Hide device_pm_callback events under PM_SLEEP PM: tracing: Hide psci_domain_idle events under ARM_PSCI_CPUIDLE PM: cpufreq: powernv/tracing: Move powernv_throttle trace event alarmtimer: Hide alarmtimer_suspend event when RTC_CLASS is not configured tracing, AER: Hide PCIe AER event when PCIEAER is not configured

Pull runtime verification updates from Steven Rostedt: - Added Linear temporal logic monitors for RT application Real-time applications may have design flaws causing them to have unexpected latency. For example, the applications may raise page faults, or may be blocked trying to take a mutex without priority inheritance. However, while attempting to implement DA monitors for these real-time rules, deterministic automaton is found to be inappropriate as the specification language. The automaton is complicated, hard to understand, and error-prone. For these cases, linear temporal logic is found to be more suitable. The LTL is more concise and intuitive. - Make printk_deferred() public The new monitors needed access to printk_deferred(). Make them visible for the entire kernel. - Add a vpanic() to allow for va_list to be passed to panic. - Add rtapp container monitor. A collection of monitors that check for common problems with real-time applications that cause unexpected latency. - Add page fault tracepoints to risc-v These tracepoints are necessary to for the RV monitor to run on risc-v. - Fix the behaviour of the rv tool with -s and idle tasks. - Allow the rv tool to gracefully terminate with SIGTERM - Adjusts dot2c not to create lines over 100 columns - Properly order nested monitors in the RV Kconfig file - Return the registration error in all DA monitor instead of 0 - Update and add new sched collection monitors Replace tss and sncid monitors with more complete sts: Not only prove that switches occur in scheduling context and scheduling needs interrupt disabled but also that each call to the scheduler disables interrupts to (optionally) switch. New monitor: nrp Preemption requires need resched which is cleared by any switch (includes a non optimal workaround for /nested/ preemptions) New monitor: sssw suspension requires setting the task to sleepable and, after the switch occurs, the task requires a wakeup to come back to runnable New monitor: opid waking and need-resched operations occur with interrupts and preemption disabled or in IRQ without explicitly disabling preemption" * tag 'trace-rv-6.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (48 commits) rv: Add opid per-cpu monitor rv: Add nrp and sssw per-task monitors rv: Replace tss and sncid monitors with more complete sts sched: Adapt sched tracepoints for RV task model rv: Retry when da monitor detects race conditions rv: Adjust monitor dependencies rv: Use strings in da monitors tracepoints rv: Remove trailing whitespace from tracepoint string rv: Add da_handle_start_run_event_ to per-task monitors rv: Fix wrong type cast in reactors_show() and monitor_reactor_show() rv: Fix wrong type cast in monitors_show() rv: Remove struct rv_monitor::reacting rv: Remove rv_reactor's reference counter rv: Merge struct rv_reactor_def into struct rv_reactor rv: Merge struct rv_monitor_def into struct rv_monitor rv: Remove unused field in struct rv_monitor_def rv: Return init error when registering monitors verification/rvgen: Organise Kconfig entries for nested monitors tools/dot2c: Fix generated files going over 100 column limit tools/rv: Stop gracefully also on SIGTERM ...
