Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon: "There's the usual summary below, but the highlights are support for the Armv8.6 timer extensions, KASAN support for asymmetric MTE, the ability to kexec() with the MMU enabled and a second attempt at switching to the generic pfn_valid() implementation. Summary: - Support for the Arm8.6 timer extensions, including a self-synchronising view of the system registers to elide some expensive ISB instructions. - Exception table cleanup and rework so that the fixup handlers appear correctly in backtraces. - A handful of miscellaneous changes, the main one being selection of CONFIG_HAVE_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK. - More mm and pgtable cleanups. - KASAN support for "asymmetric" MTE, where tag faults are reported synchronously for loads (via an exception) and asynchronously for stores (via a register). - Support for leaving the MMU enabled during kexec relocation, which significantly speeds up the operation. - Minor improvements to our perf PMU drivers. - Improvements to the compat vDSO build system, particularly when building with LLVM=1. - Preparatory work for handling some Coresight TRBE tracing errata. - Cleanup and refactoring of the SVE code to pave the way for SME support in future. - Ensure SCS pages are unpoisoned immediately prior to freeing them when KASAN is enabled for the vmalloc area. - Try moving to the generic pfn_valid() implementation again now that the DMA mapping issue from last time has been resolved. - Numerous improvements and additions to our FPSIMD and SVE selftests" [ armv8.6 timer updates were in a shared branch and already came in through -tip in the timer pull - Linus ] * tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (85 commits) arm64: Select POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK arm64: Document boot requirements for FEAT_SME_FA64 arm64/sve: Fix warnings when SVE is disabled arm64/sve: Add stub for sve_max_virtualisable_vl() arm64: errata: Add detection for TRBE write to out-of-range arm64: errata: Add workaround for TSB flush failures arm64: errata: Add detection for TRBE overwrite in FILL mode arm64: Add Neoverse-N2, Cortex-A710 CPU part definition selftests: arm64: Factor out utility functions for assembly FP tests arm64: vmlinux.lds.S: remove `.fixup` section arm64: extable: add load_unaligned_zeropad() handler arm64: extable: add a dedicated uaccess handler arm64: extable: add `type` and `data` fields arm64: extable: use `ex` for `exception_table_entry` arm64: extable: make fixup_exception() return bool arm64: extable: consolidate definitions arm64: gpr-num: support W registers arm64: factor out GPR numbering helpers arm64: kvm: use kvm_exception_table_entry arm64: lib: __arch_copy_to_user(): fold fixups into body ...

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.

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...

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.

Pull memory folios from Matthew Wilcox: "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. I'd like to thank all my reviewers who've offered review/ack tags: Christoph Hellwig, David Howells, Jan Kara, Jeff Layton, Johannes Weiner, Kirill A. Shutemov, Michal Hocko, Mike Rapoport, Vlastimil Babka, William Kucharski, Yu Zhao and Zi Yan.
