Remove support for the "Crypto usage statistics" feature (CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS). This feature does not appear to have ever been used, and it is harmful because it significantly reduces performance and is a large maintenance burden. Covering each of these points in detail: 1. Feature is not being used Since these generic crypto statistics are only readable using netlink, it's fairly straightforward to look for programs that use them. I'm unable to find any evidence that any such programs exist. For example, Debian Code Search returns no hits except the kernel header and kernel code itself and translations of the kernel header: https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=CRYPTOCFGA_STAT&literal=1&perpkg=1 The patch series that added this feature in 2018 (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/1537351855-16618-1-git-send-email-clabbe@baylibre.com/) said "The goal is to have an ifconfig for crypto device." This doesn't appear to have happened. It's not clear that there is real demand for crypto statistics. Just because the kernel provides other types of statistics such as I/O and networking statistics and some people find those useful does not mean that crypto statistics are useful too. Further evidence that programs are not using CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS is that it was able to be disabled in RHEL and Fedora as a bug fix (https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/src/kernel/centos-stream-9/-/merge_requests/2947). Even further evidence comes from the fact that there are and have been bugs in how the stats work, but they were never reported. For example, before Linux v6.7 hash stats were double-counted in most cases. There has also never been any documentation for this feature, so it might be hard to use even if someone wanted to. 2. CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS significantly reduces performance Enabling CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS significantly reduces the performance of the crypto API, even if no program ever retrieves the statistics. This primarily affects systems with a large number of CPUs. For example, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2039576 reported that Lustre client encryption performance improved from 21.7GB/s to 48.2GB/s by disabling CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS. It can be argued that this means that CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS should be optimized with per-cpu counters similar to many of the networking counters. But no one has done this in 5+ years. This is consistent with the fact that the feature appears to be unused, so there seems to be little interest in improving it as opposed to just disabling it. It can be argued that because CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS is off by default, performance doesn't matter. But Linux distros tend to error on the side of enabling options. The option is enabled in Ubuntu and Arch Linux, and until recently was enabled in RHEL and Fedora (see above). So, even just having the option available is harmful to users. 3. CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS is a large maintenance burden There are over 1000 lines of code associated with CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS, spread among 32 files. It significantly complicates much of the implementation of the crypto API. After the initial submission, many fixes and refactorings have consumed effort of multiple people to keep this feature "working". We should be spending this effort elsewhere.

-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end is coming in GCC-14, and we are getting ready to enable it globally. So, we are deprecating flexible-array members in the middle of another structure. There is currently an object (`header`) in `struct nx842_crypto_ctx` that contains a flexible structure (`struct nx842_crypto_header`): struct nx842_crypto_ctx { ... struct nx842_crypto_header header; struct nx842_crypto_header_group group[NX842_CRYPTO_GROUP_MAX]; ... }; So, in order to avoid ending up with a flexible-array member in the middle of another struct, we use the `struct_group_tagged()` helper to separate the flexible array from the rest of the members in the flexible structure: struct nx842_crypto_header { struct_group_tagged(nx842_crypto_header_hdr, hdr, ... the rest of the members ); struct nx842_crypto_header_group group[]; } __packed; With the change described above, we can now declare an object of the type of the tagged struct, without embedding the flexible array in the middle of another struct: struct nx842_crypto_ctx { ... struct nx842_crypto_header_hdr header; struct nx842_crypto_header_group group[NX842_CRYPTO_GROUP_MAX]; ... } __packed; We also use `container_of()` whenever we need to retrieve a pointer to the flexible structure, through which we can access the flexible array if needed. So, with these changes, fix the following warning: In file included from drivers/crypto/nx/nx-842.c:55: drivers/crypto/nx/nx-842.h:174:36: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end] 174 | struct nx842_crypto_header header; | ^~~~~~ Signed-off-by: Gustavo A.

Currently, the wq_stats output also includes the global stats, while the individual global stats are also available as separate debugfs files. Since these are all read-only, there's really no reason to have them as separate files, especially since we already display them as global stats in the wq_stats. It makes more sense to just add a separate global_stats file to display those, and remove them from the wq_stats, as well as removing the individual stats files.

Add logic to implement the interface for live migration defined in qat/qat_mig_dev.h. This is specific for QAT GEN4 Virtual Functions (VFs). This introduces a migration data manager which is used to handle the device state during migration. The manager ensures that the device state is stored in a format that can be restored in the destination node. The VF state is organized into a hierarchical structure that includes a preamble, a general state section, a MISC bar section and an ETR bar section. The latter contains the state of the 4 ring pairs contained on a VF. Here is a graphical representation of the state: preamble | general state section | leaf state | MISC bar state section| leaf state | ETR bar state section | bank0 state section | leaf state | bank1 state section | leaf state | bank2 state section | leaf state | bank3 state section | leaf state In addition to the implementation of the qat_migdev_ops interface and the state manager framework, add a mutex in pfvf to avoid pf2vf messages during migration.

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner: - Ensure that the encryption mask at boot is properly propagated on 5-level page tables, otherwise the PGD entry is incorrectly set to non-encrypted, which causes system crashes during boot. - Undo the deferred 5-level page table setup as it cannot work with memory encryption enabled. - Prevent inconsistent XFD state on CPU hotplug, where the MSR is reset to the default value but the cached variable is not, so subsequent comparisons might yield the wrong result and as a consequence the result prevents updating the MSR. - Register the local APIC address only once in the MPPARSE enumeration to prevent triggering the related WARN_ONs() in the APIC and topology code. - Handle the case where no APIC is found gracefully by registering a fake APIC in the topology code. That makes all related topology functions work correctly and does not affect the actual APIC driver code at all. - Don't evaluate logical IDs during early boot as the local APIC IDs are not yet enumerated and the invoked function returns an error code. Nothing requires the logical IDs before the final CPUID enumeration takes place, which happens after the enumeration. - Cure the fallout of the per CPU rework on UP which misplaced the copying of boot_cpu_data to per CPU data so that the final update to boot_cpu_data got lost which caused inconsistent state and boot crashes. - Use copy_from_kernel_nofault() in the kprobes setup as there is no guarantee that the address can be safely accessed. - Reorder struct members in struct saved_context to work around another kmemleak false positive - Remove the buggy code which tries to update the E820 kexec table for setup_data as that is never passed to the kexec kernel. - Update the resource control documentation to use the proper units. - Fix a Kconfig warning observed with tinyconfig * tag 'x86-urgent-2024-03-24' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/boot/64: Move 5-level paging global variable assignments back x86/boot/64: Apply encryption mask to 5-level pagetable update x86/cpu: Add model number for another Intel Arrow Lake mobile processor x86/fpu: Keep xfd_state in sync with MSR_IA32_XFD Documentation/x86: Document that resctrl bandwidth control units are MiB x86/mpparse: Register APIC address only once x86/topology: Handle the !APIC case gracefully x86/topology: Don't evaluate logical IDs during early boot x86/cpu: Ensure that CPU info updates are propagated on UP kprobes/x86: Use copy_from_kernel_nofault() to read from unsafe address x86/pm: Work around false positive kmemleak report in msr_build_context() x86/kexec: Do not update E820 kexec table for setup_data x86/config: Fix warning for 'make ARCH=x86_64 tinyconfig'

Clearing BSS should only be done once, at the very beginning. efi_pe_entry() is the entrypoint from the firmware, which may not clear BSS and so it is done explicitly. However, efi_pe_entry() is also used as an entrypoint by the mixed mode startup code, in which case BSS will already have been cleared, and doing it again at this point will corrupt global variables holding the firmware's GDT/IDT and segment selectors. So make the memset() conditional on whether the EFI stub is running in native mode.

Normally, the EFI stub calls into the EFI boot services using the stack that was live when the stub was entered. According to the UEFI spec, this stack needs to be at least 128k in size - this might seem large but all asynchronous processing and event handling in EFI runs from the same stack and so quite a lot of space may be used in practice. In mixed mode, the situation is a bit different: the bootloader calls the 32-bit EFI stub entry point, which calls the decompressor's 32-bit entry point, where the boot stack is set up, using a fixed allocation of 16k. This stack is still in use when the EFI stub is started in 64-bit mode, and so all calls back into the EFI firmware will be using the decompressor's limited boot stack. Due to the placement of the boot stack right after the boot heap, any stack overruns have gone unnoticed. However, commit 5c4feadb0011983b ("x86/decompressor: Move global symbol references to C code") moved the definition of the boot heap into C code, and now the boot stack is placed right at the base of BSS, where any overruns will corrupt the end of the .data section. While it would be possible to work around this by increasing the size of the boot stack, doing so would affect all x86 systems, and mixed mode systems are a tiny (and shrinking) fraction of the x86 installed base. So instead, record the firmware stack pointer value when entering from the 32-bit firmware, and switch to this stack every time a EFI boot service call is made.

Commit 63bed966 ("x86/startup_64: Defer assignment of 5-level paging global variables") moved assignment of 5-level global variables to later in the boot in order to avoid having to use RIP relative addressing in order to set them. However, when running with 5-level paging and SME active (mem_encrypt=on), the variables are needed as part of the page table setup needed to encrypt the kernel (using pgd_none(), p4d_offset(), etc.). Since the variables haven't been set, the page table manipulation is done as if 4-level paging is active, causing the system to crash on boot. While only a subset of the assignments that were moved need to be set early, move all of the assignments back into check_la57_support() so that these assignments aren't spread between two locations. Instead of just reverting the fix, this uses the new RIP_REL_REF() macro when assigning the variables.

When running with 5-level page tables, the kernel mapping PGD entry is updated to point to the P4D table. The assignment uses _PAGE_TABLE_NOENC, which, when SME is active (mem_encrypt=on), results in a page table entry without the encryption mask set, causing the system to crash on boot. Change the assignment to use _PAGE_TABLE instead of _PAGE_TABLE_NOENC so that the encryption mask is set for the PGD entry.

Commit 67236547 ("x86/fpu: Update XFD state where required") and commit 8bf26758 ("x86/fpu: Add XFD state to fpstate") introduced a per CPU variable xfd_state to keep the MSR_IA32_XFD value cached, in order to avoid unnecessary writes to the MSR. On CPU hotplug MSR_IA32_XFD is reset to the init_fpstate.xfd, which wipes out any stale state. But the per CPU cached xfd value is not reset, which brings them out of sync. As a consequence a subsequent xfd_update_state() might fail to update the MSR which in turn can result in XRSTOR raising a #NM in kernel space, which crashes the kernel. To fix this, introduce xfd_set_state() to write xfd_state together with MSR_IA32_XFD, and use it in all places that set MSR_IA32_XFD.

Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner: "Two regression fixes for the timer and timer migration code: - Prevent endless timer requeuing which is caused by two CPUs racing out of idle. This happens when the last CPU goes idle and therefore has to ensure to expire the pending global timers and some other CPU come out of idle at the same time and the other CPU wins the race and expires the global queue. This causes the last CPU to chase ghost timers forever and reprogramming it's clockevent device endlessly. Cure this by re-evaluating the wakeup time unconditionally. - The split into local (pinned) and global timers in the timer wheel caused a regression for NOHZ full as it broke the idle tracking of global timers. On NOHZ full this prevents an self IPI being sent which in turn causes the timer to be not programmed and not being expired on time. Restore the idle tracking for the global timer base so that the self IPI condition for NOHZ full is working correctly again" * tag 'timers-urgent-2024-03-23' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: timers: Fix removed self-IPI on global timer's enqueue in nohz_full timers/migration: Fix endless timer requeue after idle interrupts

Pull core entry fix from Thomas Gleixner: "A single fix for the generic entry code: The trace_sys_enter() tracepoint can modify the syscall number via kprobes or BPF in pt_regs, but that requires that the syscall number is re-evaluted from pt_regs after the tracepoint. A seccomp fix in that area removed the re-evaluation so the change does not take effect as the code just uses the locally cached number. Restore the original behaviour by re-evaluating the syscall number after the tracepoint" * tag 'core-entry-2024-03-23' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: entry: Respect changes to system call number by trace_sys_enter()
