[ Upstream commit 05d3855b4d21ef3c2df26be1cbba9d2c68915fcb ]

Copy the forced type casts from the normal MMIO accessors to suppress
the sparse warnings that point out __raw_readl() returns a native endian
word (just like readl()).

[ Upstream commit d564fa1ff19e893e2971d66e5c8f49dc1cdc8ffc ]

Commit c1d55d50139b ("asm-generic/io.h: Fix sparse warnings on
big-endian architectures") missed fixing the 64-bit accessors.

Arnd explains in the attached link why the casts are necessary, even if
__raw_readq() and __raw_writeq() do not take endian-specific types.

<title>arch: fix broken BuildID for arm64 and riscv</title>

Dennis Gilmore reports that the BuildID is missing in the arm64 vmlinux
since commit 994b7ac1697b ("arm64: remove special treatment for the
link order of head.o").

The issue is that the type of .notes section, which contains the BuildID,
changed from NOTES to PROGBITS.

Ard Biesheuvel figured out that whichever object gets linked first gets
to decide the type of a section. The PROGBITS type is the result of the
compiler emitting .note.GNU-stack as PROGBITS rather than NOTE.

While Ard provided a fix for arm64, I want to fix this globally because
the same issue is happening on riscv since commit 2348e6bf4421 ("riscv:
remove special treatment for the link order of head.o"). This problem
will happen in general for other architectures if they start to drop
unneeded entries from scripts/head-object-list.txt.

Discard .note.GNU-stack in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.2-rc1.

  The "big" change in here is the addition of a new macro,
  container_of_const() that will preserve the "const-ness" of a pointer
  passed into it.

  The "problem" of the current container_of() macro is that if you pass
  in a "const *", out of it can comes a non-const pointer unless you
  specifically ask for it. For many usages, we want to preserve the
  "const" attribute by using the same call. For a specific example, this
  series changes the kobj_to_dev() macro to use it, allowing it to be
  used no matter what the const value is. This prevents every subsystem
  from having to declare 2 different individual macros (i.e.
  kobj_const_to_dev() and kobj_to_dev()) and having the compiler enforce
  the const value at build time, which having 2 macros would not do
  either.

  The driver for all of this have been discussions with the Rust kernel
  developers as to how to properly mark driver core, and kobject,
  objects as being "non-mutable". The changes to the kobject and driver
  core in this pull request are the result of that, as there are lots of
  paths where kobjects and device pointers are not modified at all, so
  marking them as "const" allows the compiler to enforce this.

  So, a nice side affect of the Rust development effort has been already
  to clean up the driver core code to be more obvious about object
  rules.

  All of this has been bike-shedded in quite a lot of detail on lkml
  with different names and implementations resulting in the tiny version
  we have in here, much better than my original proposal. Lots of
  subsystem maintainers have acked the changes as well.

  Other than this change, included in here are smaller stuff like:

   - kernfs fixes and updates to handle lock contention better

   - vmlinux.lds.h fixes and updates

   - sysfs and debugfs documentation updates

   - device property updates

  All of these have been in the linux-next tree for quite a while with
  no problems"

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "ARM64:

   - Enable the per-vcpu dirty-ring tracking mechanism, together with an
     option to keep the good old dirty log around for pages that are
     dirtied by something other than a vcpu.

   - Switch to the relaxed parallel fault handling, using RCU to delay
     page table reclaim and giving better performance under load.

   - Relax the MTE ABI, allowing a VMM to use the MAP_SHARED mapping
     option, which multi-process VMMs such as crosvm rely on (see merge
     commit 382b5b87a97d: "Fix a number of issues with MTE, such as
     races on the tags being initialised vs the PG_mte_tagged flag as
     well as the lack of support for VM_SHARED when KVM is involved.
     Patches from Catalin Marinas and Peter Collingbourne").

   - Merge the pKVM shadow vcpu state tracking that allows the
     hypervisor to have its own view of a vcpu, keeping that state
     private.

   - Add support for the PMUv3p5 architecture revision, bringing support
     for 64bit counters on systems that support it, and fix the
     no-quite-compliant CHAIN-ed counter support for the machines that
     actually exist out there.

   - Fix a handful of minor issues around 52bit VA/PA support (64kB
     pages only) as a prefix of the oncoming support for 4kB and 16kB
     pages.

   - Pick a small set of documentation and spelling fixes, because no
     good merge window would be complete without those.

  s390:

   - Second batch of the lazy destroy patches

   - First batch of KVM changes for kernel virtual != physical address
     support

   - Removal of a unused function

  x86:

   - Allow compiling out SMM support

   - Cleanup and documentation of SMM state save area format

   - Preserve interrupt shadow in SMM state save area

   - Respond to generic signals during slow page faults

   - Fixes and optimizations for the non-executable huge page errata
     fix.

   - Reprogram all performance counters on PMU filter change

   - Cleanups to Hyper-V emulation and tests

   - Process Hyper-V TLB flushes from a nested guest (i.e. from a L2
     guest running on top of a L1 Hyper-V hypervisor)

   - Advertise several new Intel features

   - x86 Xen-for-KVM:

      - Allow the Xen runstate information to cross a page boundary

      - Allow XEN_RUNSTATE_UPDATE flag behaviour to be configured

      - Add support for 32-bit guests in SCHEDOP_poll

   - Notable x86 fixes and cleanups:

      - One-off fixes for various emulation flows (SGX, VMXON, NRIPS=0).

      - Reinstate IBPB on emulated VM-Exit that was incorrectly dropped
        a few years back when eliminating unnecessary barriers when
        switching between vmcs01 and vmcs02.

      - Clean up vmread_error_trampoline() to make it more obvious that
        params must be passed on the stack, even for x86-64.

      - Let userspace set all supported bits in MSR_IA32_FEAT_CTL
        irrespective of the current guest CPUID.

      - Fudge around a race with TSC refinement that results in KVM
        incorrectly thinking a guest needs TSC scaling when running on a
        CPU with a constant TSC, but no hardware-enumerated TSC
        frequency.

      - Advertise (on AMD) that the SMM_CTL MSR is not supported

      - Remove unnecessary exports

  Generic:

   - Support for responding to signals during page faults; introduces
     new FOLL_INTERRUPTIBLE flag that was reviewed by mm folks

  Selftests:

   - Fix an inverted check in the access tracking perf test, and restore
     support for asserting that there aren't too many idle pages when
     running on bare metal.

   - Fix build errors that occur in certain setups (unsure exactly what
     is unique about the problematic setup) due to glibc overriding
     static_assert() to a variant that requires a custom message.

   - Introduce actual atomics for clear/set_bit() in selftests

   - Add support for pinning vCPUs in dirty_log_perf_test.

   - Rename the so called "perf_util" framework to "memstress".

   - Add a lightweight psuedo RNG for guest use, and use it to randomize
     the access pattern and write vs. read percentage in the memstress
     tests.

   - Add a common ucall implementation; code dedup and pre-work for
     running SEV (and beyond) guests in selftests.

   - Provide a common constructor and arch hook, which will eventually
     be used by x86 to automatically select the right hypercall (AMD vs.
     Intel).

   - A bunch of added/enabled/fixed selftests for ARM64, covering
     memslots, breakpoints, stage-2 faults and access tracking.

   - x86-specific selftest changes:

      - Clean up x86's page table management.

      - Clean up and enhance the "smaller maxphyaddr" test, and add a
        related test to cover generic emulation failure.

      - Clean up the nEPT support checks.

      - Add X86_PROPERTY_* framework to retrieve multi-bit CPUID values.

      - Fix an ordering issue in the AMX test introduced by recent
        conversions to use kvm_cpu_has(), and harden the code to guard
        against similar bugs in the future. Anything that tiggers
        caching of KVM's supported CPUID, kvm_cpu_has() in this case,
        effectively hides opt-in XSAVE features if the caching occurs
        before the test opts in via prctl().

  Documentation:

   - Remove deleted ioctls from documentation

   - Clean up the docs for the x86 MSR filter.

Pull x86 core updates from Borislav Petkov:

 - Add the call depth tracking mitigation for Retbleed which has been
   long in the making. It is a lighterweight software-only fix for
   Skylake-based cores where enabling IBRS is a big hammer and causes a
   significant performance impact.

   What it basically does is, it aligns all kernel functions to 16 bytes
   boundary and adds a 16-byte padding before the function, objtool
   collects all functions' locations and when the mitigation gets
   applied, it patches a call accounting thunk which is used to track
   the call depth of the stack at any time.

   When that call depth reaches a magical, microarchitecture-specific
   value for the Return Stack Buffer, the code stuffs that RSB and
   avoids its underflow which could otherwise lead to the Intel variant
   of Retbleed.

   This software-only solution brings a lot of the lost performance
   back, as benchmarks suggest:

       https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220915111039.092790446@infradead.org/

   That page above also contains a lot more detailed explanation of the
   whole mechanism

 - Implement a new control flow integrity scheme called FineIBT which is
   based on the software kCFI implementation and uses hardware IBT
   support where present to annotate and track indirect branches using a
   hash to validate them

 - Other misc fixes and cleanups

Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Updates for the interrupt core and driver subsystem:

  The bulk is the rework of the MSI subsystem to support per device MSI
  interrupt domains. This solves conceptual problems of the current
  PCI/MSI design which are in the way of providing support for
  PCI/MSI[-X] and the upcoming PCI/IMS mechanism on the same device.

  IMS (Interrupt Message Store] is a new specification which allows
  device manufactures to provide implementation defined storage for MSI
  messages (as opposed to PCI/MSI and PCI/MSI-X that has a specified
  message store which is uniform accross all devices). The PCI/MSI[-X]
  uniformity allowed us to get away with "global" PCI/MSI domains.

  IMS not only allows to overcome the size limitations of the MSI-X
  table, but also gives the device manufacturer the freedom to store the
  message in arbitrary places, even in host memory which is shared with
  the device.

  There have been several attempts to glue this into the current MSI
  code, but after lengthy discussions it turned out that there is a
  fundamental design problem in the current PCI/MSI-X implementation.
  This needs some historical background.

  When PCI/MSI[-X] support was added around 2003, interrupt management
  was completely different from what we have today in the actively
  developed architectures. Interrupt management was completely
  architecture specific and while there were attempts to create common
  infrastructure the commonalities were rudimentary and just providing
  shared data structures and interfaces so that drivers could be written
  in an architecture agnostic way.

  The initial PCI/MSI[-X] support obviously plugged into this model
  which resulted in some basic shared infrastructure in the PCI core
  code for setting up MSI descriptors, which are a pure software
  construct for holding data relevant for a particular MSI interrupt,
  but the actual association to Linux interrupts was completely
  architecture specific. This model is still supported today to keep
  museum architectures and notorious stragglers alive.

  In 2013 Intel tried to add support for hot-pluggable IO/APICs to the
  kernel, which was creating yet another architecture specific mechanism
  and resulted in an unholy mess on top of the existing horrors of x86
  interrupt handling. The x86 interrupt management code was already an
  incomprehensible maze of indirections between the CPU vector
  management, interrupt remapping and the actual IO/APIC and PCI/MSI[-X]
  implementation.

  At roughly the same time ARM struggled with the ever growing SoC
  specific extensions which were glued on top of the architected GIC
  interrupt controller.

  This resulted in a fundamental redesign of interrupt management and
  provided the today prevailing concept of hierarchical interrupt
  domains. This allowed to disentangle the interactions between x86
  vector domain and interrupt remapping and also allowed ARM to handle
  the zoo of SoC specific interrupt components in a sane way.

  The concept of hierarchical interrupt domains aims to encapsulate the
  functionality of particular IP blocks which are involved in interrupt
  delivery so that they become extensible and pluggable. The X86
  encapsulation looks like this:

                                            |--- device 1
     [Vector]---[Remapping]---[PCI/MSI]--|...
                                            |--- device N

  where the remapping domain is an optional component and in case that
  it is not available the PCI/MSI[-X] domains have the vector domain as
  their parent. This reduced the required interaction between the
  domains pretty much to the initialization phase where it is obviously
  required to establish the proper parent relation ship in the
  components of the hierarchy.

  While in most cases the model is strictly representing the chain of IP
  blocks and abstracting them so they can be plugged together to form a
  hierarchy, the design stopped short on PCI/MSI[-X]. Looking at the
  hardware it's clear that the actual PCI/MSI[-X] interrupt controller
  is not a global entity, but strict a per PCI device entity.

  Here we took a short cut on the hierarchical model and went for the
  easy solution of providing "global" PCI/MSI domains which was possible
  because the PCI/MSI[-X] handling is uniform across the devices. This
  also allowed to keep the existing PCI/MSI[-X] infrastructure mostly
  unchanged which in turn made it simple to keep the existing
  architecture specific management alive.

  A similar problem was created in the ARM world with support for IP
  block specific message storage. Instead of going all the way to stack
  a IP block specific domain on top of the generic MSI domain this ended
  in a construct which provides a "global" platform MSI domain which
  allows overriding the irq_write_msi_msg() callback per allocation.

  In course of the lengthy discussions we identified other abuse of the
  MSI infrastructure in wireless drivers, NTB etc. where support for
  implementation specific message storage was just mindlessly glued into
  the existing infrastructure. Some of this just works by chance on
  particular platforms but will fail in hard to diagnose ways when the
  driver is used on platforms where the underlying MSI interrupt
  management code does not expect the creative abuse.

  Another shortcoming of today's PCI/MSI-X support is the inability to
  allocate or free individual vectors after the initial enablement of
  MSI-X. This results in an works by chance implementation of VFIO (PCI
  pass-through) where interrupts on the host side are not set up upfront
  to avoid resource exhaustion. They are expanded at run-time when the
  guest actually tries to use them. The way how this is implemented is
  that the host disables MSI-X and then re-enables it with a larger
  number of vectors again. That works by chance because most device
  drivers set up all interrupts before the device actually will utilize
  them. But that's not universally true because some drivers allocate a
  large enough number of vectors but do not utilize them until it's
  actually required, e.g. for acceleration support. But at that point
  other interrupts of the device might be in active use and the MSI-X
  disable/enable dance can just result in losing interrupts and
  therefore hard to diagnose subtle problems.

  Last but not least the "global" PCI/MSI-X domain approach prevents to
  utilize PCI/MSI[-X] and PCI/IMS on the same device due to the fact
  that IMS is not longer providing a uniform storage and configuration
  model.

  The solution to this is to implement the missing step and switch from
  global PCI/MSI domains to per device PCI/MSI domains. The resulting
  hierarchy then looks like this:

                              |--- [PCI/MSI] device 1
     [Vector]---[Remapping]---|...
                              |--- [PCI/MSI] device N

  which in turn allows to provide support for multiple domains per
  device:

                              |--- [PCI/MSI] device 1
                              |--- [PCI/IMS] device 1
     [Vector]---[Remapping]---|...
                              |--- [PCI/MSI] device N
                              |--- [PCI/IMS] device N

  This work converts the MSI and PCI/MSI core and the x86 interrupt
  domains to the new model, provides new interfaces for post-enable
  allocation/free of MSI-X interrupts and the base framework for
  PCI/IMS. PCI/IMS has been verified with the work in progress IDXD
  driver.

  There is work in progress to convert ARM over which will replace the
  platform MSI train-wreck. The cleanup of VFIO, NTB and other creative
  "solutions" are in the works as well.

  Drivers:

   - Updates for the LoongArch interrupt chip drivers

   - Support for MTK CIRQv2

   - The usual small fixes and updates all over the place"
