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.

Commit 3f4c8211d982 ("x86/mm: Use mm_alloc() in poking_init()") broke
the kernel for running as Xen PV guest.
It seems as if the new address space is never activated before being
used, resulting in Xen rejecting to accept the new CR3 value (the PGD
isn't pinned).
Fix that by adding the now missing call of paravirt_arch_dup_mmap() to
poking_init(). That call was previously done by dup_mm()->dup_mmap() and
it is a NOP for all cases but for Xen PV, where it is just doing the
pinning of the PGD.

When creating a new monitoring group, the RMID allocated for it may have
been used by a group which was previously removed. In this case, the
hardware counters will have non-zero values which should be deducted
from what is reported in the new group's counts.
resctrl_arch_reset_rmid() initializes the prev_msr value for counters to
0, causing the initial count to be charged to the new group. Resurrect
__rmid_read() and use it to initialize prev_msr correctly.
Unlike before, __rmid_read() checks for error bits in the MSR read so
that callers don't need to.

When the user moves a running task to a new rdtgroup using the task's
file interface or by deleting its rdtgroup, the resulting change in
CLOSID/RMID must be immediately propagated to the PQR_ASSOC MSR on the
task(s) CPUs.
x86 allows reordering loads with prior stores, so if the task starts
running between a task_curr() check that the CPU hoisted before the
stores in the CLOSID/RMID update then it can start running with the old
CLOSID/RMID until it is switched again because __rdtgroup_move_task()
failed to determine that it needs to be interrupted to obtain the new
CLOSID/RMID.
Refer to the diagram below:
CPU 0 CPU 1
----- -----
__rdtgroup_move_task():
curr <- t1->cpu->rq->curr
__schedule():
rq->curr <- t1
resctrl_sched_in():
t1->{closid,rmid} -> {1,1}
t1->{closid,rmid} <- {2,2}
if (curr == t1) // false
IPI(t1->cpu)
A similar race impacts rdt_move_group_tasks(), which updates tasks in a
deleted rdtgroup.
In both cases, use smp_mb() to order the task_struct::{closid,rmid}
stores before the loads in task_curr(). In particular, in the
rdt_move_group_tasks() case, simply execute an smp_mb() on every
iteration with a matching task.
It is possible to use a single smp_mb() in rdt_move_group_tasks(), but
this would require two passes and a means of remembering which
task_structs were updated in the first loop. However, benchmarking
results below showed too little performance impact in the simple
approach to justify implementing the two-pass approach.
Times below were collected using `perf stat` to measure the time to
remove a group containing a 1600-task, parallel workload.
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum P-8136 CPU @ 2.00GHz (112 threads)

Pull memblock fix from Mike Rapoport:
"memblock: always release pages to the buddy allocator in
memblock_free_late()
If CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is enabled, memblock_free_pages()
only releases pages to the buddy allocator if they are not in the
deferred range. This is correct for free pages (as defined by
for_each_free_mem_pfn_range_in_zone()) because free pages in the
deferred range will be initialized and released as part of the
deferred init process.
memblock_free_pages() is called by memblock_free_late(), which is used
to free reserved ranges after memblock_free_all() has run. All pages
in reserved ranges have been initialized at that point, and
accordingly, those pages are not touched by the deferred init process.
This means that currently, if the pages that memblock_free_late()
intends to release are in the deferred range, they will never be
released to the buddy allocator. They will forever be reserved.
In addition, memblock_free_pages() calls kmsan_memblock_free_pages(),
which is also correct for free pages but is not correct for reserved
pages. KMSAN metadata for reserved pages is initialized by
kmsan_init_shadow(), which runs shortly before memblock_free_all().
For both of these reasons, memblock_free_pages() should only be called
for free pages, and memblock_free_late() should call
__free_pages_core() directly instead.
One case where this issue can occur in the wild is EFI boot on x86_64.
The x86 EFI code reserves all EFI boot services memory ranges via
memblock_reserve() and frees them later via memblock_free_late()
(efi_reserve_boot_services() and efi_free_boot_services(),
respectively).
If any of those ranges happens to fall within the deferred init range,
the pages will not be released and that memory will be unavailable.
For example, on an Amazon EC2 t3.micro VM (1 GB) booting via EFI:
v6.2-rc2:
Node 0, zone DMA

Since
72cbc8f04fe2 ("x86/PAT: Have pat_enabled() properly reflect state when running on Xen")
PAT can be enabled without MTRR.
This has resulted in problems e.g. for a SEV-SNP guest running under Hyper-V,
when trying to establish a new mapping via memremap() with WB caching mode, as
pat_x_mtrr_type() will call mtrr_type_lookup(), which in turn is returning
MTRR_TYPE_INVALID due to MTRR being disabled in this configuration.
The result is a mapping with UC- caching, leading to severe performance
degradation.
Fix that by handling MTRR_TYPE_INVALID the same way as MTRR_TYPE_WRBACK
in pat_x_mtrr_type() because MTRR_TYPE_INVALID means MTRRs are disabled.
