Add the boilerplate that tells resctrl about the mpam monitors that are

so advertise them there and invent an L3 resctrl resource if required. The
L3 cache itself has to exist as the cache ids are used as the domain

Bring the resctrl monitor domains online and offline based on the cpus
they contain.
Support for specific monitor types is left to later.

arm_mpam: resctrl: Add support for 'MB' resource
resctrl supports 'MB', as a percentage throttling of traffic from the
L3. This is the control that mba_sc uses, so ideally the class chosen
should be as close as possible to the counters used for mbm_total. If there
is a single L3, it's the last cache, and the topology of the memory matches
then the traffic at the memory controller will be equivalent to that at
egress of the L3. If these conditions are met allow the memory class to
back MB.
MB's percentage control should be backed either with the fixed point
fraction MBW_MAX or bandwidth portion bitmaps. The bandwidth portion
bitmaps is not used as its tricky to pick which bits to use to avoid
contention, and may be possible to expose this as something other than a
percentage in the future.

arm_mpam: resctrl: Add CDP emulation
Intel RDT's CDP feature allows the cache to use a different control value
depending on whether the accesses was for instruction fetch or a data
access. MPAM's equivalent feature is the other way up: the CPU assigns a
different partid label to traffic depending on whether it was instruction
fetch or a data access, which causes the cache to use a different control
value based solely on the partid.
MPAM can emulate CDP, with the side effect that the alternative partid is
seen by all MSC, it can't be enabled per-MSC.
Add the resctrl hooks to turn this on or off. Add the helpers that match a
closid against a task, which need to be aware that the value written to
hardware is not the same as the one resctrl is using.
Update the 'arm64_mpam_global_default' variable the arch code uses during
context switch to know when the per-cpu value should be used instead. Also,
update these per-cpu values and sync the resulting mpam partid/pmg
configuration to hardware.
resctrl can enable CDP for L2 caches, L3 caches or both. When it is enabled
by one and not the other MPAM globally enabled CDP but hides the effect
on the other cache resource. This hiding is possible as CPOR is the only
supported cache control and that uses a resource bitmap; two partids with
the same bitmap act as one.
Awkwardly, the MB controls don't implement CDP and CDP can't be hidden as
the memory bandwidth control is a maximum per partid which can't be
modelled with more partids. If the total maximum is used for both the data
and instruction partids then then the maximum may be exceeded and if it is
split in two then the one using more bandwidth will hit a lower
limit. Hence, hide the MB controls completely if CDP is enabled for any
resource.

arm64: mpam: Context switch the MPAM registers
MPAM allows traffic in the SoC to be labeled by the OS, these labels are
used to apply policy in caches and bandwidth regulators, and to monitor
traffic in the SoC. The label is made up of a PARTID and PMG value. The x86
equivalent calls these CLOSID and RMID, but they don't map precisely.
MPAM has two CPU system registers that is used to hold the PARTID and PMG
values that traffic generated at each exception level will use. These can
be set per-task by the resctrl file system. (resctrl is the defacto
interface for controlling this stuff).
Add a helper to switch this.
struct task_struct's separate CLOSID and RMID fields are insufficient to
implement resctrl using MPAM, as resctrl can change the PARTID (CLOSID) and
PMG (sort of like the RMID) separately. On x86, the rmid is an independent
number, so a race that writes a mismatched closid and rmid into hardware is
benign. On arm64, the pmg bits extend the partid.
(i.e. partid-5 has a pmg-0 that is not the same as partid-6's pmg-0). In
this case, mismatching the values will 'dirty' a pmg value that resctrl
believes is clean, and is not tracking with its 'limbo' code.
To avoid this, the partid and pmg are always read and written as a
pair. This requires a new u64 field. In struct task_struct there are two
u32, rmid and closid for the x86 case, but as we can't use them here do
something else. Add this new field, mpam_partid_pmg, to struct thread_info
to avoid adding more architecture specific code to struct task_struct.
Always use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() when accessing this field.
Resctrl allows a per-cpu 'default' value to be set, this overrides the
values when scheduling a task in the default control-group, which has
PARTID 0. The way 'code data prioritisation' gets emulated means the
register value for the default group needs to be a variable.
The current system register value is kept in a per-cpu variable to avoid
writing to the system register if the value isn't going to change. Writes
to this register may reset the hardware state for regulating bandwidth.
Finally, there is no reason to context switch these registers unless there
is a driver changing the values in struct task_struct. Hide the whole thing
behind a static key. This also allows the driver to disable MPAM in
response to errors reported by hardware. Move the existing static key to
belong to the arch code, as in the future the MPAM driver may become a
loadable module.

KVM: arm64: Preserve host MPAM configuration when changing traps
When KVM enables or disables MPAM traps to EL2 it clears all other bits in
MPAM2_EL2. Notably, it clears the partition ids (PARTIDs) and performance
monitoring groups (PMGs). Avoid changing these bits in anticipation of
adding support for MPAM in the kernel. Otherwise, on a VHE system with the
host running at EL2 where MPAM2_EL2 and MPAM1_EL1 access the same register,
any attempt to use MPAM to monitor or partition resources for kernel space
would be foiled by running a KVM guest. Additionally, MPAM2_EL2.EnMPAMSM is
always set to 0 which causes MPAMSM_EL1 to always trap. Keep EnMPAMSM set
to 1 when not in a guest so that the kernel can use MPAMSM_EL1.

arm_mpam: Reset when feature configuration bit unset
To indicate that the configuration, of the controls used by resctrl, in a
RIS need resetting to driver defaults the reset flags in mpam_config are
set. However, these flags are only ever set temporarily at RIS scope in
mpam_reset_ris() and hence mpam_cpu_online() will never reset these
controls to default. As the hardware reset is unknown this leads to unknown
configuration when the control values haven't been configured away from the
defaults.
Use the policy that an unset feature configuration bit means reset. In this
way the mpam_config in the component can encode that it should be in reset
state and mpam_reprogram_msc() will reset controls as needed.

arm_mpam: Ensure in_reset_state is false after applying configuration
The per-RIS flag, in_reset_state, indicates whether or not the MSC
registers are in reset state, and allows avoiding resetting when they are
already in reset state. However, when mpam_apply_config() updates the
configuration it doesn't update the in_reset_state flag and so even after
the configuration update in_reset_state can be true and mpam_reset_ris()
will skip the actual register restoration on subsequent resets.
Once resctrl has a MPAM backend it will use resctrl_arch_reset_all_ctrls()
to reset the MSC configuration on unmount and, if the in_reset_state flag
is bogusly true, fail to reset the MSC configuration. The resulting
non-reset MSC configuration can lead to persistent performance restrictions
even after resctrl is unmounted.
Fix by clearing in_reset_state to false immediately after successful
configuration application, ensuring that the next reset operation
properly restores MSC register defaults.

The issue is that a temporary buffer is used to store the events to

overwrites what was previously there.

temporary buffer already has content.

bpf: Fix precision backtracking bug with linked registers
Emil Tsalapatis reported a verifier bug hit by the scx_lavd sched_ext
scheduler. The essential part of the verifier log looks as follows:
436: ...
// checkpoint hit for 438: (1d) if r7 == r8 goto ...
frame 3: propagating r2,r7,r8
frame 2: propagating r6
mark_precise: frame3: last_idx ...
mark_precise: frame3: regs=r2,r7,r8 stack= before 436: ...
mark_precise: frame3: regs=r2,r7 stack= before 435: ...
mark_precise: frame3: regs=r2,r7 stack= before 434: (85) call bpf_trace_vprintk#177
verifier bug: backtracking call unexpected regs 84
The log complains that registers r2 and r7 are tracked as precise
while processing the bpf_trace_vprintk() call in precision backtracking.
This can't be right, as r2 is reset by the call and there is nothing
to backtrack it to. The precision propagation is triggered when
a checkpoint is hit at instruction 438, r2 is dead at that instruction.
This happens because of the following sequence of events:
- Instruction 438 is first reached with registers r2 and r7 having
the same id via a path that does not call bpf_trace_vprintk():
- Checkpoint is created at 438.
- The jump at 438 is predicted, hence r7 and registers linked to it
(r2) are propagated as precise, marking r2 and r7 precise in the
checkpoint.
- Instruction 438 is reached a second time with r2 undefined and via
a path that calls bpf_trace_vprintk():
- Checkpoint is hit.
- propagate_precision() picks registers r2 and r7 and propagates
precision marks for those up to the helper call.
The root cause is the fact that states_equal() and
propagate_precision() assume that the precision flag can't be set for a
dead register (as computed by compute_live_registers()).
However, this is not the case when linked registers are at play.
Fix this by accounting for live register flags in
collect_linked_regs().
---
====================
selftests/bpf: add reproducer for spurious precision propagation through calls
Add a test for the scenario described in the previous commit:
an iterator loop with two paths where one ties r2/r7 via
shared scalar id and skips a call, while the other goes
through the call. Precision marks from the linked registers
get spuriously propagated to the call path via
propagate_precision(), hitting "backtracking call unexpected
regs" in backtrack_insn().
Fix an inconsistency between func_states_equal() and
collect_linked_regs():
- regsafe() uses check_ids() to verify that cached and current states
have identical register id mapping.
- func_states_equal() calls regsafe() only for registers computed as
live by compute_live_registers().
- clean_live_states() is supposed to remove dead registers from cached
states, but it can skip states belonging to an iterator-based loop.
- collect_linked_regs() collects all registers sharing the same id,
ignoring the marks computed by compute_live_registers().
Linked registers are stored in the state's jump history.
- backtrack_insn() marks all linked registers for an instruction
as precise whenever one of the linked registers is precise.
The above might lead to a scenario:
- There is an instruction I with register rY known to be dead at I.
- Instruction I is reached via two paths: first A, then B.
- On path A:
- There is an id link between registers rX and rY.
- Checkpoint C is created at I.
- Linked register set {rX, rY} is saved to the jump history.
- rX is marked as precise at I, causing both rX and rY
to be marked precise at C.
- On path B:
- There is no id link between registers rX and rY,
otherwise register states are sub-states of those in C.
- Because rY is dead at I, check_ids() returns true.
- Current state is considered equal to checkpoint C,
propagate_precision() propagates spurious precision
mark for register rY along the path B.
- Depending on a program, this might hit verifier_bug()
in the backtrack_insn(), e.g. if rY ∈ [r1..r5]
and backtrack_insn() spots a function call.
The reproducer program is in the next patch.
This was hit by sched_ext scx_lavd scheduler code.
Changes in tests:
- verifier_scalar_ids.c selftests need modification to preserve
some registers as live for __msg() checks.
- exceptions_assert.c adjusted to match changes in the verifier log,
R0 is dead after conditional instruction and thus does not get
range.
- precise.c adjusted to match changes in the verifier log, register r9
is dead after comparison and it's range is not important for test.

selftests/bpf: test refining u32/s32 bounds when ranges cross min/max boundary
Two test cases for signed/unsigned 32-bit bounds refinement
when s32 range crosses the sign boundary:
- s32 range [S32_MIN..1] overlapping with u32 range [3..U32_MAX],
s32 range tail before sign boundary overlaps with u32 range.
- s32 range [-3..5] overlapping with u32 range [0..S32_MIN+3],
s32 range head after the sign boundary overlaps with u32 range.
This covers both branches added in the __reg32_deduce_bounds().
Also, crossing_32_bit_signed_boundary_2() no longer triggers invariant
violations.
bpf: Fix u32/s32 bounds when ranges cross min/max boundary
Same as in __reg64_deduce_bounds(), refine s32/u32 ranges
in __reg32_deduce_bounds() in the following situations:
- s32 range crosses U32_MAX/0 boundary, positive part of the s32 range
overlaps with u32 range:
0 U32_MAX
| [xxxxxxxxxxxxxx u32 range xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] |
|----------------------------|----------------------------|
|xxxxx s32 range xxxxxxxxx] [xxxxxxx|
0 S32_MAX S32_MIN -1
- s32 range crosses U32_MAX/0 boundary, negative part of the s32 range
overlaps with u32 range:
0 U32_MAX
| [xxxxxxxxxxxxxx u32 range xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] |
|----------------------------|----------------------------|
|xxxxxxxxx] [xxxxxxxxxxxx s32 range |
0 S32_MAX S32_MIN -1
- No refinement if ranges overlap in two intervals.
This helps for e.g. consider the following program:
call %[bpf_get_prandom_u32];
w0 &= 0xffffffff;
if w0 < 0x3 goto 1f; // on fall-through u32 range [3..U32_MAX]
if w0 s> 0x1 goto 1f; // on fall-through s32 range [S32_MIN..1]
if w0 s< 0x0 goto 1f; // range can be narrowed to [S32_MIN..-1]
r10 = 0;
1: ...;
The reg_bounds.c selftest is updated to incorporate identical logic,
refinement based on non-overflowing range halves:

Multiple events can be enabled on the kernel command line via a comma

Require (reasonably) normal mappings for MADV_DOFORK
This came up as a result of the tracing fix pull request, and commit e39bb9e02b68 ("tracing: Fix WARN_ON in tracing_buffers_mmap_close") in
particular.
The use of MADV_DOFORK confused the ring buffer mapping reference
counting just because it was unexpected, since the mapping was
originally done with VM_DONTCOPY.
The tracing code may well be the only case of this (and fixed it all by
just using the mmap open callback to unconfuse itself), but it's just
strange that we allow MADV_DOFORK on special mappings where the kernel
has set the "don't copy this" bit.
The code already disallowed it for VM_IO mappings (going back to the
original commit f822566165dd: "madvise MADV_DONTFORK/MADV_DOFORK"), so
just extend it to any of the VM_SPECIAL cases (which includes
VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_PFNMAP | VM_MIXEDMAP in addition to VM_IO).
We could also allow MADV_DOFORK only on mappings that had been marked
DONTFORK by the user. But that would require us to track that
(presumably with another VM_xyz bit), so let's just do this trivial and
straightforward modifications.
If anybody notices, Lorenzo will be boarding Flying Pig Airlines.

against the requested entry to detect no-ops. ptep_get() ORs AF/dirty
from all sub-PTEs in the CONT block, so a dirty sibling can make the
target appear already-dirty. When the gathered value matches entry, the
function returns 0 even though the target sub-PTE still has PTE_RDONLY
set in hardware.
For a CPU with FEAT_HAFDBS this gathered view is fine, since hardware may
set AF/dirty on any sub-PTE and CPU TLB behavior is effectively gathered
across the CONT range. But page-table walkers that evaluate each
descriptor individually (e.g. a CPU without DBM support, or an SMMU
without HTTU, or with HA/HD disabled in CD.TCR) can keep faulting on the
unchanged target sub-PTE, causing an infinite fault loop.
Gathering can therefore cause false no-ops when only a sibling has been
updated:
- write faults: target still has PTE_RDONLY (needs PTE_RDONLY cleared)
- read faults: target still lacks PTE_AF
Fix by checking each sub-PTE against the requested AF/dirty/write state
(the same bits consumed by __ptep_set_access_flags()), using raw
per-PTE values rather than the gathered ptep_get() view, before
returning no-op. Keep using the raw target PTE for the write-bit unfold
decision.
Per Arm ARM (DDI 0487) D8.7.1 ("The Contiguous bit"), any sub-PTE in a CONT
range may become the effective cached translation and software must
maintain consistent attributes across the range.

parisc: Fix initial page table creation for boot
The KERNEL_INITIAL_ORDER value defines the initial size (usually 32 or
64 MB) of the page table during bootup. Up until now the whole area was
initialized with PTE entries, but there was no check if we filled too
many entries. Change the code to fill up with so many entries that the
"_end" symbol can be reached by the kernel, but not more entries than
actually fit into the initial PTE tables.

parisc: Check kernel mapping earlier at bootup
The check if the initial mapping is sufficient needs to happen much
earlier during bootup. Move this test directly to the start_parisc()
function and use native PDC iodc functions to print the warning, because
panic() and printk() are not functional yet.
This fixes boot when enabling various KALLSYSMS options which need
much more space.

ata: libata-eh: Fix detection of deferred qc timeouts
If the ata_qc_for_each_raw() loop finishes without finding a matching SCSI
command for any QC, the variable qc will hold a pointer to the last element
examined, which has the tag i == ATA_MAX_QUEUE - 1. This qc can match the
port deferred QC (ap->deferred_qc).
If that happens, the condition qc == ap->deferred_qc evaluates to true
despite the loop not breaking with a match on the SCSI command for this QC.
In that case, the error handler mistakenly intercepts a command that has
not been issued yet and that has not timed out, and thus erroneously
returning a timeout error.
Fix the problem by checking for i < ATA_MAX_QUEUE in addition to
qc == ap->deferred_qc.
The problem was found by an experimental code review agent based on
gemini-3.1-pro while reviewing backports into v6.18.y.

accel: ethosu: Handle possible underflow in IFM size calculations
If the command stream has larger padding sizes than the IFM and OFM
diminsions, then the calculations will underflow to a negative value.
The result is a very large region bounds which is caught on submit, but
it's better to catch it earlier.
Current mesa ethosu driver has a signedness bug which resulted in
padding of 127 (the max) and triggers this issue.
accel: ethosu: Fix NPU_OP_ELEMENTWISE validation with scalar
The NPU_OP_ELEMENTWISE instruction uses a scalar value for IFM2 if the
IFM2_BROADCAST "scalar" mode is set. It is a bit (7) on the u65 and
part of a field (bits 3:0) on the u85. The driver was hardcoded to the
u85.
If the job submit fails before adding the job to the scheduler queue
such as when the GEM buffer bounds checks fail, then doing a
ethosu_job_put() results in a pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() without the
corresponding pm_runtime_resume_and_get(). The dma_fence_put()'s are
also unnecessary, but seem to be harmless.
Split the ethosu_job_cleanup() function into 2 parts for the before
and after the job is queued.

accel/amdxdna: Split mailbox channel create function
The management channel used for firmware control command submission is
currently created after the firmware is started. If channel creation
fails (for example, due to memory allocation failure or workqueue
creation interruption), the firmware remains in a pending state and is
unable to receive any control commands.
To avoid leaving the firmware in this inconsistent state, split
xdna_mailbox_create_channel() into two separate functions so that
resource allocation can be completed before interacting with the
hardware.
xdna_mailbox_alloc_channel()
Allocates memory and initializes the workqueue. This can be called
earlier, before interacting with the hardware.
xdna_mailbox_start_channel()
Performs the hardware interaction required to start the channel.
Rename xdna_mailbox_destroy_channel() to xdna_mailbox_free_channel().
Ensure that xdna_mailbox_stop_channel() and xdna_mailbox_free_channel()
properly unwind the corresponding start and allocation steps, respectively.
