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.

Use the proper free operation for the firmware wnode so the name is freed
during error unwind of msi_create_device_irq_domain() and also free the
node in msi_remove_device_irq_domain() if it was automatically allocated.
To avoid extra NULL pointer checks make irq_domain_free_fwnode() tolerant
of NULL.

Fix that by adding an optional acpi callback allowing to skip setting

hypervisor anyway.

This reverts commit 7efc3b7261030da79001c00d92bc3392fd6c664c.
We have got openSUSE reports (Link 1) for 6.1 kernel with khugepaged
stalling CPU for long periods of time. Investigation of tracepoint data
shows that compaction is stuck in repeating fast_find_migrateblock()
based migrate page isolation, and then fails to migrate all isolated
pages.
Commit 7efc3b726103 ("mm/compaction: fix set skip in fast_find_migrateblock")
was suspected as it was merged in 6.1 and in theory can indeed remove a
termination condition for fast_find_migrateblock() under certain
conditions, as it removes a place that always marks a scanned pageblock
from being re-scanned. There are other such places, but those can be
skipped under certain conditions, which seems to match the tracepoint
data.
Testing of revert also appears to have resolved the issue, thus revert
the commit until a more robust solution for the original problem is
developed.
It's also likely this will fix qemu stalls with 6.1 kernel reported in
Link 2, but that is not yet confirmed.

The cxl_pmem.ko module houses the driver for both cxl_nvdimm_bridge
objects and cxl_nvdimm objects. When the core creates a cxl_nvdimm it
arranges for it to be autoremoved when the bridge goes down. However, if
the bridge never initialized because the cxl_pmem.ko module never
loaded, it sets up a the following crash scenario:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000478

It turns out the recent rework to simplify nvdimm probing obviated the
need to unregister cxl_nvdimm objects at cxl_nvdimm_bridge ->remove()
time. Leave the cxl_nvdimm device registered until the hosting
cxl_memdev departs. The alternative is that the cxl_memdev needs to be
reattached whenever the cxl_nvdimm_bridge attach state cycles, which is
awkward and unnecessary.
The only requirement is to make sure that when the cxl_nvdimm_bridge
goes away any dependent cxl_nvdimm objects are shutdown. Handle that in
unregister_nvdimm_bus().
With these registration entanglements removed there is no longer a need
to pre-load the cxl_pmem module in cxl_acpi.

The hypervisor can enable various new features (SEV_FEATURES[1:63]) and start a
SNP guest. Some of these features need guest side implementation. If any of
these features are enabled without it, the behavior of the SNP guest will be
undefined. It may fail booting in a non-obvious way making it difficult to
debug.
Instead of allowing the guest to continue and have it fail randomly later,
detect this early and fail gracefully.
The SEV_STATUS MSR indicates features which the hypervisor has enabled. While
booting, SNP guests should ascertain that all the enabled features have guest
side implementation. In case a feature is not implemented in the guest, the
guest terminates booting with GHCB protocol Non-Automatic Exit(NAE) termination
request event, see "SEV-ES Guest-Hypervisor Communication Block Standardization"
document (currently at https://developer.amd.com/wp-content/resources/56421.pdf),
section "Termination Request".
Populate SW_EXITINFO2 with mask of unsupported features that the hypervisor can
easily report to the user.
More details in the AMD64 APM Vol 2, Section "SEV_STATUS MSR".
[ bp:
- Massage.
- Move snp_check_features() call to C code.
Note: the CC:stable@ aspect here is to be able to protect older, stable
kernels when running on newer hypervisors. Or not "running" but fail
reliably and in a well-defined manner instead of randomly. ]
