       - Start checking a CPUID bit on AMD Zen3 which states that the CPU
         clears the segment base when a null selector is written. Do the
         explicit detection on older CPUs, zen2 and hygon specifically, which
         have the functionality but do not advertize the CPUID bit. Factor in
         the presence of a hypervisor underneath the kernel and avoid doing
         the explicit check there which the HV might've decided to not
         advertize for migration safety reasons, or similar.
      
       - Add support for a new X86 CPU vendor: VORTEX. Needed for whitelisting
         those CPUs in the hardware vulnerabilities detection

      mm: fix mismerge of folio page flag manipulators · e6643593
      Linus Torvalds authored
      I had missed a semantic conflict between commit d389a4a8 ("mm: Add
      folio flag manipulation functions") from the folio tree, and commit
      eac96c3e ("mm: filemap: check if THP has hwpoisoned subpage for PMD
      page fault") that added a new set of page flags.
      
      My build tests had too many options enabled, which hid this issue.  But
      if you didn't have MEMORY_FAILURE or TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE enabled, you'd
      end up with build errors like this:
      
        include/linux/page-flags.h:806:29: error: macro "PAGEFLAG_FALSE" requires 2 arguments, but only 1 given
          806 | PAGEFLAG_FALSE(HasHWPoisoned)
              |                             ^
      
      due to the missing lowercase name used for folio function naming.

      Merge tag 'x86-fpu-2021-11-01' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip · 8cb1ae19
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull x86 fpu updates from Thomas Gleixner:
      
       - Cleanup of extable fixup handling to be more robust, which in turn
         allows to make the FPU exception fixups more robust as well.
      
       - Change the return code for signal frame related failures from
         explicit error codes to a boolean fail/success as that's all what the
         calling code evaluates.
      
       - A large refactoring of the FPU code to prepare for adding AMX
         support:
      
            - Distangle the public header maze and remove especially the
              misnomed kitchen sink internal.h which is despite it's name
              included all over the place.
      
            - Add a proper abstraction for the register buffer storage (struct
              fpstate) which allows to dynamically size the buffer at runtime
              by flipping the pointer to the buffer container from the default
              container which is embedded in task_struct::tread::fpu to a
              dynamically allocated container with a larger register buffer.
      
            - Convert the code over to the new fpstate mechanism.
      
            - Consolidate the KVM FPU handling by moving the FPU related code
              into the FPU core which removes the number of exports and avoids
              adding even more export when AMX has to be supported in KVM.
              This also removes duplicated code which was of course
              unnecessary different and incomplete in the KVM copy.
      
            - Simplify the KVM FPU buffer handling by utilizing the new
              fpstate container and just switching the buffer pointer from the
              user space buffer to the KVM guest buffer when entering
              vcpu_run() and flipping it back when leaving the function. This
              cuts the memory requirements of a vCPU for FPU buffers in half
              and avoids pointless memory copy operations.
      
              This also solves the so far unresolved problem of adding AMX
              support because the current FPU buffer handling of KVM inflicted
              a circular dependency between adding AMX support to the core and
              to KVM. With the new scheme of switching fpstate AMX support can
              be added to the core code without affecting KVM.
      
            - Replace various variables with proper data structures so the
              extra information required for adding dynamically enabled FPU
              features (AMX) can be added in one place
      
       - Add AMX (Advanced Matrix eXtensions) support (finally):
      
         AMX is a large XSTATE component which is going to be available with
         Saphire Rapids XEON CPUs. The feature comes with an extra MSR
         (MSR_XFD) which allows to trap the (first) use of an AMX related
         instruction, which has two benefits:
      
          1) It allows the kernel to control access to the feature
      
          2) It allows the kernel to dynamically allocate the large register
             state buffer instead of burdening every task with the the extra
             8K or larger state storage.
      
         It would have been great to gain this kind of control already with
         AVX512.
      
         The support comes with the following infrastructure components:
      
          1) arch_prctl() to
              - read the supported features (equivalent to XGETBV(0))
              - read the permitted features for a task
              - request permission for a dynamically enabled feature
      
             Permission is granted per process, inherited on fork() and
             cleared on exec(). The permission policy of the kernel is
             restricted to sigaltstack size validation, but the syscall
             obviously allows further restrictions via seccomp etc.
      
          2) A stronger sigaltstack size validation for sys_sigaltstack(2)
             which takes granted permissions and the potentially resulting
             larger signal frame into account. This mechanism can also be used
             to enforce factual sigaltstack validation independent of dynamic
             features to help with finding potential victims of the 2K
             sigaltstack size constant which is broken since AVX512 support
             was added.
      
          3) Exception handling for #NM traps to catch first use of a extended
             feature via a new cause MSR. If the exception was caused by the
             use of such a feature, the handler checks permission for that
             feature. If permission has not been granted, the handler sends a
             SIGILL like the #UD handler would do if the feature would have
             been disabled in XCR0. If permission has been granted, then a new
             fpstate which fits the larger buffer requirement is allocated.
      
             In the unlikely case that this allocation fails, the handler
             sends SIGSEGV to the task. That's not elegant, but unavoidable as
             the other discussed options of preallocation or full per task
             permissions come with their own set of horrors for kernel and/or
             userspace. So this is the lesser of the evils and SIGSEGV caused
             by unexpected memory allocation failures is not a fundamentally
             new concept either.
      
             When allocation succeeds, the fpstate properties are filled in to
             reflect the extended feature set and the resulting sizes, the
             fpu::fpstate pointer is updated accordingly and the trap is
             disarmed for this task permanently.
      
          4) Enumeration and size calculations
      
          5) Trap switching via MSR_XFD
      
             The XFD (eXtended Feature Disable) MSR is context switched with
             the same life time rules as the FPU register state itself. The
             mechanism is keyed off with a static key which is default
             disabled so !AMX equipped CPUs have zero overhead. On AMX enabled
             CPUs the overhead is limited by comparing the tasks XFD value
             with a per CPU shadow variable to avoid redundant MSR writes. In
             case of switching from a AMX using task to a non AMX using task
             or vice versa, the extra MSR write is obviously inevitable.
      
             All other places which need to be aware of the variable feature
             sets and resulting variable sizes are not affected at all because
             they retrieve the information (feature set, sizes) unconditonally
             from the fpstate properties.
      
          6) Enable the new AMX states
      
         Note, this is relatively new code despite the fact that AMX support
         is in the works for more than a year now.
      
         The big refactoring of the FPU code, which allowed to do a proper
         integration has been started exactly 3 weeks ago. Refactoring of the
         existing FPU code and of the original AMX patches took a week and has
         been subject to extensive review and testing. The only fallout which
         has not been caught in review and testing right away was restricted
         to AMX enabled systems, which is completely irrelevant for anyone
         outside Intel and their early access program. There might be dragons
         lurking as usual, but so far the fine grained refactoring has held up
         and eventual yet undetected fallout is bisectable and should be
         easily addressable before the 5.16 release. Famous last words...
      
         Many thanks to Chang Bae and Dave Hansen for working hard on this and
         also to the various test teams at Intel who reserved extra capacity
         to follow the rapid development of this closely which provides the
         confidence level required to offer this rather large update for
         inclusion into 5.16-rc1

      Pull scheduler updates from Thomas Gleixner:
      
       - Revert the printk format based wchan() symbol resolution as it can
         leak the raw value in case that the symbol is not resolvable.
      
       - Make wchan() more robust and work with all kind of unwinders by
         enforcing that the task stays blocked while unwinding is in progress.
      
       - Prevent sched_fork() from accessing an invalid sched_task_group
      
       - Improve asymmetric packing logic
      
       - Extend scheduler statistics to RT and DL scheduling classes and add
         statistics for bandwith burst to the SCHED_FAIR class.
      
       - Properly account SCHED_IDLE entities
      
       - Prevent a potential deadlock when initial priority is assigned to a
         newly created kthread. A recent change to plug a race between cpuset
         and __sched_setscheduler() introduced a new lock dependency which is
         now triggered. Break the lock dependency chain by moving the priority
         assignment to the thread function.
      
       - Fix the idle time reporting in /proc/uptime for NOHZ enabled systems.
      
       - Improve idle balancing in general and especially for NOHZ enabled
         systems.
      
       - Provide proper interfaces for live patching so it does not have to
         fiddle with scheduler internals.
      
       - Add cluster aware scheduling support.
      
       - A small set of tweaks for RT (irqwork, wait_task_inactive(), various
         scheduler options and delaying mmdrop)
      
       - The usual small tweaks and improvements all over the place

       - Move futex code into kernel/futex/ and split up the kitchen sink into

       - Add a new sys_futex_waitv() syscall which allows to wait on multiple

         rework their eviction code step by step without making lockdep upset
         until the final steps of rework are completed. It's also useful for

      btrfs: fix lzo_decompress_bio() kmap leakage · 2cf3f813
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Commit ccaa66c8 reinstated the kmap/kunmap that had been dropped in
      commit 8c945d32 ("btrfs: compression: drop kmap/kunmap from lzo").
      
      However, it seems to have done so incorrectly due to the change not
      reverting cleanly, and lzo_decompress_bio() ended up not having a
      matching "kunmap()" to the "kmap()" that was put back.
      
      Also, any assert that the page pointer is not NULL should be before the
      kmap() of said pointer, since otherwise you'd just oops in the kmap()
      before the assert would even trigger.
      
      I noticed this when trying to verify my btrfs merge, and things not
      adding up.  I'm doing this fixup before re-doing my merge, because this
      commit needs to also be backported to 5.15 (after verification from the
      btrfs people).

      Pull erofs updates from Gao Xiang:
       "There are some new features available for this cycle. Firstly, EROFS
        LZMA algorithm support, specifically called MicroLZMA, is available as
        an option for embedded devices, LiveCDs and/or as the secondary
        auxiliary compression algorithm besides the primary algorithm in one
        file.
      
        In order to better support the LZMA fixed-sized output compression,
        especially for 4KiB pcluster size (which has lowest memory pressure
        thus useful for memory-sensitive scenarios), Lasse introduced a new
        LZMA header/container format called MicroLZMA to minimize the original
        LZMA1 header (for example, we don't need to waste 4-byte dictionary
        size and another 8-byte uncompressed size, which can be calculated by
        fs directly, for each pcluster) and enable EROFS fixed-sized output
        compression.
      
        Note that MicroLZMA can also be later used by other things in addition
        to EROFS too where wasting minimal amount of space for headers is
        important and it can be only compiled by enabling XZ_DEC_MICROLZMA.
        MicroLZMA has been supported by the latest upstream XZ embedded [1] &
        XZ utils [2], apply the latest related XZ embedded upstream patches by
        the XZ author Lasse here.
      
        Secondly, multiple device is also supported in this cycle, which is
        designed for multi-layer container images. By working together with
        inter-layer data deduplication and compression, we can achieve the
        next high-performance container image solution. Our team will announce
        the new Nydus container image service [3] implementation with new RAFS
        v6 (EROFS-compatible) format in Open Source Summit 2021 China [4]
        soon.
      
        Besides, the secondary compression head support and readmore
        decompression strategy are also included in this cycle. There are also
        some minor bugfixes and cleanups, as always.
      
        Summary:
      
         - support multiple devices for multi-layer container images;
      
         - support the secondary compression head;
      
         - support readmore decompression strategy;
      
         - support new LZMA algorithm (specifically called MicroLZMA);
      
         - some bugfixes & cleanups"

       "Add memory folios, a new type to represent either order-0 pages or the
        head page of a compound page. This should be enough infrastructure to
        support filesystems converting from pages to folios.
      
        The point of all this churn is to allow filesystems and the page cache
        to manage memory in larger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. The original plan
        was to use compound pages like THP does, but I ran into problems with
        some functions expecting only a head page while others expect the
        precise page containing a particular byte.
      
        The folio type allows a function to declare that it's expecting only a
        head page. Almost incidentally, this allows us to remove various calls
        to VM_BUG_ON(PageTail(page)) and compound_head().
      
        This converts just parts of the core MM and the page cache. For 5.17,
        we intend to convert various filesystems (XFS and AFS are ready; other
        filesystems may make it) and also convert more of the MM and page
        cache to folios. For 5.18, multi-page folios should be ready.
      
        The multi-page folios offer some improvement to some workloads. The
        80% win is real, but appears to be an artificial benchmark (postgres
        startup, which isn't a serious workload). Real workloads (eg building
        the kernel, running postgres in a steady state, etc) seem to benefit
        between 0-10%. I haven't heard of any performance losses as a result
        of this series. Nobody has done any serious performance tuning; I
        imagine that tweaking the readahead algorithm could provide some more
        interesting wins. There are also other places where we could choose to
        create large folios and currently do not, such as writes that are
        larger than PAGE_SIZE.
