Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

As David pointed out, what truly matters for mremap and userfaultfd move
operations is the soft dirty bit. The current comment and
implementation—which always sets the dirty bit for present PTEs and
fails to set the soft dirty bit for swap PTEs—are incorrect. This could
break features like Checkpoint-Restore in Userspace (CRIU).
This patch updates the behavior to correctly set the soft dirty bit for
both present and swap PTEs in accordance with mremap.

Do not mix class->size and object size during offsets/sizes calculation in
zs_obj_write(). Size classes can merge into clusters, based on
objects-per-zspage and pages-per-zspage characteristics, so some size
classes can store objects smaller than class->size. This becomes
problematic when object size is much smaller than class->size. zsmalloc
can falsely decide that object spans two physical pages, because a larger
class->size value is used for that check, while the actual object is much
smaller and fits the free space of the first physical page, so there is
nothing to write to the second page and memcpy() size calculation
underflows.

This is mostly seen on system with larger page-sizes, because size class
cluters of such systems hold wider size ranges than on 4K PAGE_SIZE
systems.
Assume a 16K PAGE_SIZE system, a write of 820 bytes object to a 864-bytes
size class at offset 15560. 15560 + 864 is more than 16384 so zsmalloc
attempts to memcpy() it to two physical pages. However, 16384 - 15560 =
824 which is more than 820, so the object in fact doesn't span two
physical pages, and there is no data to write to the second physical page.
We always know the exact size in bytes of the object that we are about to
write (store), so use it instead of class->size.

The page allocator tracks the number of zones that have unaccepted memory
using static_branch_enc/dec() and uses that static branch in hot paths to
determine if it needs to deal with unaccepted memory.
Borislav and Thomas pointed out that the tracking is racy: operations on
static_branch are not serialized against adding/removing unaccepted pages
to/from the zone.
Sanity checks inside static_branch machinery detects it:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 10 at kernel/jump_label.c:276 __static_key_slow_dec_cpuslocked+0x8e/0xa0
The comment around the WARN() explains the problem:
/*
* Warn about the '-1' case though; since that means a
* decrement is concurrent with a first (0->1) increment. IOW
* people are trying to disable something that wasn't yet fully
* enabled. This suggests an ordering problem on the user side.
*/
The effect of this static_branch optimization is only visible on
microbenchmark.
Instead of adding more complexity around it, remove it altogether.

try_alloc_pages() will not attempt to allocate memory if the system has
*any* unaccepted memory. Memory is accepted as needed and can remain in
the system indefinitely, causing the interface to always fail.
Rather than immediately giving up, attempt to use already accepted memory
on free lists.
Pass 'alloc_flags' to cond_accept_memory() and do not accept new memory
for ALLOC_TRYLOCK requests.
Found via code inspection - only BPF uses this at present and the
runtime effects are unclear.

The WARN_ON here is simply incorrect. The refcount here must be at least
the mapcount, not the opposite. Each mapcount must have a corresponding
refcount, but the refcount may increase if other components grab the
folio, which is acceptable. Meanwhile, having a mapcount larger than
refcount is a real problem.
So fix the WARN_ON condition.

Not intuitive, but vm_area_dup() located in kernel/fork.c is not only used
for duplicating VMAs during fork(), but also for duplicating VMAs when
splitting VMAs or when mremap()'ing them.
VM_PFNMAP mappings can at least get ordinarily mremap()'ed (no change in
size) and apparently also shrunk during mremap(), which implies
duplicating the VMA in __split_vma() first.
In case of ordinary mremap() (no change in size), we first duplicate the
VMA in copy_vma_and_data()->copy_vma() to then call untrack_pfn_clear() on
the old VMA: we effectively move the VM_PAT reservation. So the
untrack_pfn_clear() call on the new VMA duplicating is wrong in that
context.
Splitting of VMAs seems problematic, because we don't duplicate/adjust the
reservation when splitting the VMA. Instead, in memtype_erase() -- called
during zapping/munmap -- we shrink a reservation in case only the end
address matches: Assume we split a VMA into A and B, both would share a
reservation until B is unmapped.
So when unmapping B, the reservation would be updated to cover only A.
When unmapping A, we would properly remove the now-shrunk reservation.
That scenario describes the mremap() shrinking (old_size > new_size),
where we split + unmap B, and the untrack_pfn_clear() on the new VMA when
is wrong.
What if we manage to split a VM_PFNMAP VMA into A and B and unmap A first?
It would be broken because we would never free the reservation. Likely,
there are ways to trigger such a VMA split outside of mremap().
Affecting other VMA duplication was not intended, vm_area_dup() being used
outside of kernel/fork.c was an oversight. So let's fix that for; how to
handle VMA splits better should be investigated separately.
With a simple reproducer that uses mprotect() to split such a VMA I can
trigger

During our testing with hugetlb subpool enabled, we observe that
hstate->resv_huge_pages may underflow into negative values. Root cause
analysis reveals a race condition in subpool reservation fallback handling
as follow:
hugetlb_reserve_pages()
/* Attempt subpool reservation */
gbl_reserve = hugepage_subpool_get_pages(spool, chg);
/* Global reservation may fail after subpool allocation */
if (hugetlb_acct_memory(h, gbl_reserve) < 0)
goto out_put_pages;
out_put_pages:
/* This incorrectly restores reservation to subpool */
hugepage_subpool_put_pages(spool, chg);
When hugetlb_acct_memory() fails after subpool allocation, the current
implementation over-commits subpool reservations by returning the full
'chg' value instead of the actual allocated 'gbl_reserve' amount. This
discrepancy propagates to global reservations during subsequent releases,
eventually causing resv_huge_pages underflow.
This problem can be trigger easily with the following steps:
1. reverse hugepage for hugeltb allocation
2. mount hugetlbfs with min_size to enable hugetlb subpool
3. alloc hugepages with two task(make sure the second will fail due to
insufficient amount of hugepages)
4. with for a few seconds and repeat step 3 which will make
hstate->resv_huge_pages to go below zero.
To fix this problem, return corrent amount of pages to subpool during the
fallback after hugepage_subpool_get_pages is called.

Pull KVM fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM:
- Avoid use of uninitialized memcache pointer in user_mem_abort()
- Always set HCR_EL2.xMO bits when running in VHE, allowing
interrupts to be taken while TGE=0 and fixing an ugly bug on
AmpereOne that occurs when taking an interrupt while clearing the
xMO bits (AC03_CPU_36)
- Prevent VMMs from hiding support for AArch64 at any EL virtualized
by KVM
- Save/restore the host value for HCRX_EL2 instead of restoring an
incorrect fixed value
- Make host_stage2_set_owner_locked() check that the entire requested
range is memory rather than just the first page
RISC-V:
- Add missing reset of smstateen CSRs
x86:
- Forcibly leave SMM on SHUTDOWN interception on AMD CPUs to avoid
causing problems due to KVM stuffing INIT on SHUTDOWN (KVM needs to
sanitize the VMCB as its state is undefined after SHUTDOWN,
emulating INIT is the least awful choice).
- Track the valid sync/dirty fields in kvm_run as a u64 to ensure KVM
KVM doesn't goof a sanity check in the future.
- Free obsolete roots when (re)loading the MMU to fix a bug where
pre-faulting memory can get stuck due to always encountering a
stale root.
- When dumping GHCB state, use KVM's snapshot instead of the raw GHCB
page to print state, so that KVM doesn't print stale/wrong
information.
- When changing memory attributes (e.g. shared <=> private), add
potential hugepage ranges to the mmu_invalidate_range_{start,end}
set so that KVM doesn't create a shared/private hugepage when the
the corresponding attributes will become mixed (the attributes are
commited *after* KVM finishes the invalidation).
- Rework the SRSO mitigation to enable BP_SPEC_REDUCE only when KVM
has at least one active VM. Effectively BP_SPEC_REDUCE when KVM is
loaded led to very measurable performance regressions for non-KVM
workloads"

KVM x86 fixes for 6.15-rcN
- Forcibly leave SMM on SHUTDOWN interception on AMD CPUs to avoid causing
problems due to KVM stuffing INIT on SHUTDOWN (KVM needs to sanitize the
VMCB as its state is undefined after SHUTDOWN, emulating INIT is the
least awful choice).
- Track the valid sync/dirty fields in kvm_run as a u64 to ensure KVM
KVM doesn't goof a sanity check in the future.
- Free obsolete roots when (re)loading the MMU to fix a bug where
pre-faulting memory can get stuck due to always encountering a stale
root.
- When dumping GHCB state, use KVM's snapshot instead of the raw GHCB page
to print state, so that KVM doesn't print stale/wrong information.
- When changing memory attributes (e.g. shared <=> private), add potential
hugepage ranges to the mmu_invalidate_range_{start,end} set so that KVM
doesn't create a shared/private hugepage when the the corresponding
attributes will become mixed (the attributes are commited *after* KVM
finishes the invalidation).
- Rework the SRSO mitigation to enable BP_SPEC_REDUCE only when KVM has at
least one active VM. Effectively BP_SPEC_REDUCE when KVM is loaded led
to very measurable performance regressions for non-KVM workloads.

x86/microcode: Consolidate the loader enablement checking
Fix MAX_REG_OFFSET to point to the last register in 'pt_regs' and not to
the marker itself, which could allow regs_get_register() to return an
invalid offset.

KVM/arm64 fixes for 6.15, round #3
- Avoid use of uninitialized memcache pointer in user_mem_abort()
- Always set HCR_EL2.xMO bits when running in VHE, allowing interrupts
to be taken while TGE=0 and fixing an ugly bug on AmpereOne that
occurs when taking an interrupt while clearing the xMO bits
(AC03_CPU_36)
- Prevent VMMs from hiding support for AArch64 at any EL virtualized by
KVM
- Save/restore the host value for HCRX_EL2 instead of restoring an
incorrect fixed value
- Make host_stage2_set_owner_locked() check that the entire requested
range is memory rather than just the first page
