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 Restructured Text 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.

When running identity-mapped and depending on the kernel configuration,
it is possible that the compiler uses jump tables when generating code
for cc_platform_has().
This causes a boot failure because the jump table uses un-mapped kernel
virtual addresses, not identity-mapped addresses. This has been seen
with CONFIG_RETPOLINE=n.
Similar to sme_encrypt_kernel(), use an open-coded direct check for the
status of SNP rather than trying to eliminate the jump table. This
preserves any code optimization in cc_platform_has() that can be useful
post boot. It also limits the changes to SEV-specific files so that
future compiler features won't necessarily require possible build changes
just because they are not compatible with running identity-mapped.

In some cases, bootloaders will leave boot_params->cc_blob_address
uninitialized rather than zeroing it out. This field is only meant to be
set by the boot/compressed kernel in order to pass information to the
uncompressed kernel when SEV-SNP support is enabled.
Therefore, there are no cases where the bootloader-provided values
should be treated as anything other than garbage. Otherwise, the
uncompressed kernel may attempt to access this bogus address, leading to
a crash during early boot.
Normally, sanitize_boot_params() would be used to clear out such fields
but that happens too late: sev_enable() may have already initialized
it to a valid value that should not be zeroed out. Instead, have
sev_enable() zero it out unconditionally beforehand.
Also ensure this happens for !CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT as well by also
including this handling in the sev_enable() stub function.

Note1: Model 0xB7 already claimed the "no suffix" #define for a regular
client part, so add (yet another) suffix "S" to distinguish this new
part from the earlier one.
Note2: the RAPTORLAKE* and ALDERLAKE* processors are very similar from a
software enabling point of view. There are no known features that have
model-specific enabling and also differ between the two. In other words,
every single place that list *one* or more RAPTORLAKE* or ALDERLAKE*
processors should list all of them.
Note3: This is being merged before there is an in-tree user. Merging
this provides an "anchor" so that the different folks can update their
subsystems (like perf) in parallel to use this define and test it.

When meeting ftrace trampolines in ORC unwinding, unwinder uses address
of ftrace_{regs_}call address to find the ORC entry, which gets next frame at
sp+176.
If there is an IRQ hitting at sub $0xa8,%rsp, the next frame should be
sp+8 instead of 176. It makes unwinder skip correct frame and throw
warnings such as "wrong direction" or "can't access registers", etc,
depending on the content of the incorrect frame address.
By adding the base address ftrace_{regs_}caller with the offset
*ip - ops->trampoline*, we can get the correct address to find the ORC entry.
Also change "caller" to "tramp_addr" to make variable name conform to
its content.

Older Intel CPUs that are not in the affected processor list for MMIO
Stale Data vulnerabilities currently report "Not affected" in sysfs,
which may not be correct. Vulnerability status for these older CPUs is
unknown.
Add known-not-affected CPUs to the whitelist. Report "unknown"
mitigation status for CPUs that are not in blacklist, whitelist and also
don't enumerate MSR ARCH_CAPABILITIES bits that reflect hardware
immunity to MMIO Stale Data vulnerabilities.
Mitigation is not deployed when the status is unknown.

c89191ce67ef ("x86/entry: Convert SWAPGS to swapgs and remove the definition of SWAPGS")
missed one use case of SWAPGS in entry_INT80_compat(). Removing of
the SWAPGS macro led to asm just using "swapgs", as it is accepting
instructions in capital letters, too.
This in turn leads to splats in Xen PV guests like:

After commit ID in the Fixes: tag, pat_enabled() returns false (because
of PAT initialization being suppressed in the absence of MTRRs being
announced to be available).
This has become a problem: the i915 driver now fails to initialize when
running PV on Xen (i915_gem_object_pin_map() is where I located the
induced failure), and its error handling is flaky enough to (at least
sometimes) result in a hung system.
Yet even beyond that problem the keying of the use of WC mappings to
pat_enabled() (see arch_can_pci_mmap_wc()) means that in particular
graphics frame buffer accesses would have been quite a bit less optimal
than possible.
Arrange for the function to return true in such environments, without
undermining the rest of PAT MSR management logic considering PAT to be
disabled: specifically, no writes to the PAT MSR should occur.
For the new boolean to live in .init.data, init_cache_modes() also needs
moving to .init.text (where it could/should have lived already before).
[ bp: This is the "small fix" variant for stable. It'll get replaced
with a proper PAT and MTRR detection split upstream but that is too
involved for a stable backport.
- additional touchups to commit msg. Use cpu_feature_enabled(). ]
