commit 16abbabc004bedeeaa702e11913da9d4fa70e63a upstream.

Set __entry-&gt;dir to the actual "dir" parameter of all trace events
in dma_alloc_class. This struct member was left uninitialized by
mistake.

Use STATX_DIOALIGN and STATX_DIO_READ_ALIGN to get DIO alignment
attributes from the underlying filesystem and store them in the
associated nfsd_file. This is done when the nfsd_file is first
opened for each regular file.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Deprecate auto-mounting tracefs to /sys/kernel/debug/tracing

   When tracefs was first introduced back in 2014, the directory
   /sys/kernel/tracing was added and is the designated location to mount
   tracefs. To keep backward compatibility, tracefs was auto-mounted in
   /sys/kernel/debug/tracing as well.

   All distros now mount tracefs on /sys/kernel/tracing. Having it seen
   in two different locations has lead to various issues and
   inconsistencies.

   The VFS folks have to also maintain debugfs_create_automount() for
   this single user.

   It's been over 10 years. Tooling and scripts should start replacing
   the debugfs location with the tracefs one. The reason tracefs was
   created in the first place was to allow access to the tracing
   facilities without the need to configure debugfs into the kernel.
   Using tracefs should now be more robust.

   A new config is created: CONFIG_TRACEFS_AUTOMOUNT_DEPRECATED which is
   default y, so that the kernel is still built with the automount. This
   config allows those that want to remove the automount from debugfs to
   do so.

   When tracefs is accessed from /sys/kernel/debug/tracing, the
   following printk is triggerd:

     pr_warn("NOTICE: Automounting of tracing to debugfs is deprecated and will be removed in 2030\n");

   This gives users another 5 years to fix their scripts.

 - Use queue_rcu_work() instead of call_rcu() for freeing event filters

   The number of filters to be free can be many depending on the number
   of events within an event system. Freeing them from softirq context
   can potentially cause undesired latency. Use the RCU workqueue to
   free them instead.

 - Remove pointless memory barriers in latency code

   Memory barriers were added to some of the latency code a long time
   ago with the idea of "making them visible", but that's not what
   memory barriers are for. They are to synchronize access between
   different variables. There was no synchronization here making them
   pointless.

 - Remove "__attribute__()" from the type field of event format

   When LLVM is used to compile the kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y
   and PAHOLE_HAS_BTF_TAG=y, some of the format fields get expanded with
   the following:

     field:const char * filename;      offset:24;      size:8; signed:0;

   Turns into:

     field:const char __attribute__((btf_type_tag("user"))) * filename;      offset:24;      size:8; signed:0;

   This confuses parsers. Add code to strip these tags from the strings.

 - Add eprobe config option CONFIG_EPROBE_EVENTS

   Eprobes were added back in 5.15 but were only enabled when another
   probe was enabled (kprobe, fprobe, uprobe, etc). The eprobes had no
   config option of their own. Add one as they should be a separate
   entity.

   It's default y to keep with the old kernels but still has
   dependencies on TRACING and HAVE_REGS_AND_STACK_ACCESS_API.

 - Add eprobe documentation

   When eprobes were added back in 5.15 no documentation was added to
   describe them. This needs to be rectified.

 - Replace open coded cpumask_next_wrap() in move_to_next_cpu()

 - Have preemptirq_delay_run() use off-stack CPU mask

 - Remove obsolete comment about pelt_cfs event

   DECLARE_TRACE() appends "_tp" to trace events now, but the comment
   above pelt_cfs still mentioned appending it manually.

 - Remove EVENT_FILE_FL_SOFT_MODE flag

   The SOFT_MODE flag was required when the soft enabling and disabling
   of trace events was first introduced. But there was a bug with this
   approach as it only worked for a single instance. When multiple users
   required soft disabling and disabling the code was changed to have a
   ref count. The SOFT_MODE flag is now set iff the ref count is non
   zero. This is redundant and just reading the ref count is good
   enough.

 - Fix typo in comment

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "As usual, many cleanups. The below blurbiage describes 42 patchsets.
  21 of those are partially or fully cleanup work. "cleans up",
  "cleanup", "maintainability", "rationalizes", etc.

  I never knew the MM code was so dirty.

  "mm: ksm: prevent KSM from breaking merging of new VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
     addresses an issue with KSM's PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE mode: newly
     mapped VMAs were not eligible for merging with existing adjacent
     VMAs.

  "mm/damon: introduce DAMON_STAT for simple and practical access monitoring" (SeongJae Park)
     adds a new kernel module which simplifies the setup and usage of
     DAMON in production environments.

  "stop passing a writeback_control to swap/shmem writeout" (Christoph Hellwig)
     is a cleanup to the writeback code which removes a couple of
     pointers from struct writeback_control.

  "drivers/base/node.c: optimization and cleanups" (Donet Tom)
     contains largely uncorrelated cleanups to the NUMA node setup and
     management code.

  "mm: userfaultfd: assorted fixes and cleanups" (Tal Zussman)
     does some maintenance work on the userfaultfd code.

  "Readahead tweaks for larger folios" (Ryan Roberts)
     implements some tuneups for pagecache readahead when it is reading
     into order&gt;0 folios.

  "selftests/mm: Tweaks to the cow test" (Mark Brown)
     provides some cleanups and consistency improvements to the
     selftests code.

  "Optimize mremap() for large folios" (Dev Jain)
     does that. A 37% reduction in execution time was measured in a
     memset+mremap+munmap microbenchmark.

  "Remove zero_user()" (Matthew Wilcox)
     expunges zero_user() in favor of the more modern memzero_page().

  "mm/huge_memory: vmf_insert_folio_*() and vmf_insert_pfn_pud() fixes" (David Hildenbrand)
     addresses some warts which David noticed in the huge page code.
     These were not known to be causing any issues at this time.

  "mm/damon: use alloc_migrate_target() for DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD" (SeongJae Park)
     provides some cleanup and consolidation work in DAMON.

  "use vm_flags_t consistently" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
     uses vm_flags_t in places where we were inappropriately using other
     types.

  "mm/memfd: Reserve hugetlb folios before allocation" (Vivek Kasireddy)
     increases the reliability of large page allocation in the memfd
     code.

  "mm: Remove pXX_devmap page table bit and pfn_t type" (Alistair Popple)
     removes several now-unneeded PFN_* flags.

  "mm/damon: decouple sysfs from core" (SeongJae Park)
     implememnts some cleanup and maintainability work in the DAMON
     sysfs layer.

  "madvise cleanup" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
     does quite a lot of cleanup/maintenance work in the madvise() code.

  "madvise anon_name cleanups" (Vlastimil Babka)
     provides additional cleanups on top or Lorenzo's effort.

  "Implement numa node notifier" (Oscar Salvador)
     creates a standalone notifier for NUMA node memory state changes.
     Previously these were lumped under the more general memory
     on/offline notifier.

  "Make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a standalone bit" (Zi Yan)
     cleans up the pageblock isolation code and fixes a potential issue
     which doesn't seem to cause any problems in practice.

  "selftests/damon: add python and drgn based DAMON sysfs functionality tests" (SeongJae Park)
     adds additional drgn- and python-based DAMON selftests which are
     more comprehensive than the existing selftest suite.

  "Misc rework on hugetlb faulting path" (Oscar Salvador)
     fixes a rather obscure deadlock in the hugetlb fault code and
     follows that fix with a series of cleanups.

  "cma: factor out allocation logic from __cma_declare_contiguous_nid" (Mike Rapoport)
     rationalizes and cleans up the highmem-specific code in the CMA
     allocator.

  "mm/migration: rework movable_ops page migration (part 1)" (David Hildenbrand)
     provides cleanups and future-preparedness to the migration code.

  "mm/damon: add trace events for auto-tuned monitoring intervals and DAMOS quota" (SeongJae Park)
     adds some tracepoints to some DAMON auto-tuning code.

  "mm/damon: fix misc bugs in DAMON modules" (SeongJae Park)
     does that.

  "mm/damon: misc cleanups" (SeongJae Park)
     also does what it claims.

  "mm: folio_pte_batch() improvements" (David Hildenbrand)
     cleans up the large folio PTE batching code.

  "mm/damon/vaddr: Allow interleaving in migrate_{hot,cold} actions" (SeongJae Park)
     facilitates dynamic alteration of DAMON's inter-node allocation
     policy.

  "Remove unmap_and_put_page()" (Vishal Moola)
     provides a couple of page-&gt;folio conversions.

  "mm: per-node proactive reclaim" (Davidlohr Bueso)
     implements a per-node control of proactive reclaim - beyond the
     current memcg-based implementation.

  "mm/damon: remove damon_callback" (SeongJae Park)
     replaces the damon_callback interface with a more general and
     powerful damon_call()+damos_walk() interface.

  "mm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
     implements a number of mremap cleanups (of course) in preparation
     for adding new mremap() functionality: newly permit the remapping
     of multiple VMAs when the user is specifying MREMAP_FIXED. It still
     excludes some specialized situations where this cannot be performed
     reliably.

  "drop hugetlb_free_pgd_range()" (Anthony Yznaga)
     switches some sparc hugetlb code over to the generic version and
     removes the thus-unneeded hugetlb_free_pgd_range().

  "mm/damon/sysfs: support periodic and automated stats update" (SeongJae Park)
     augments the present userspace-requested update of DAMON sysfs
     monitoring files. Automatic update is now provided, along with a
     tunable to control the update interval.

  "Some randome fixes and cleanups to swapfile" (Kemeng Shi)
     does what is claims.

  "mm: introduce snapshot_page" (Luiz Capitulino and David Hildenbrand)
     provides (and uses) a means by which debug-style functions can grab
     a copy of a pageframe and inspect it locklessly without tripping
     over the races inherent in operating on the live pageframe
     directly.

  "use per-vma locks for /proc/pid/maps reads" (Suren Baghdasaryan)
     addresses the large contention issues which can be triggered by
     reads from that procfs file. Latencies are reduced by more than
     half in some situations. The series also introduces several new
     selftests for the /proc/pid/maps interface.

  "__folio_split() clean up" (Zi Yan)
     cleans up __folio_split()!

  "Optimize mprotect() for large folios" (Dev Jain)
     provides some quite large (&gt;3x) speedups to mprotect() when dealing
     with large folios.

  "selftests/mm: reuse FORCE_READ to replace "asm volatile("" : "+r" (XXX));" and some cleanup" (wang lian)
     does some cleanup work in the selftests code.

  "tools/testing: expand mremap testing" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
     extends the mremap() selftest in several ways, including adding
     more checking of Lorenzo's recently added "permit mremap() move of
     multiple VMAs" feature.

  "selftests/damon/sysfs.py: test all parameters" (SeongJae Park)
     extends the DAMON sysfs interface selftest so that it tests all
     possible user-requested parameters. Rather than the present minimal
     subset"

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "ARM:

   - Host driver for GICv5, the next generation interrupt controller for
     arm64, including support for interrupt routing, MSIs, interrupt
     translation and wired interrupts

   - Use FEAT_GCIE_LEGACY on GICv5 systems to virtualize GICv3 VMs on
     GICv5 hardware, leveraging the legacy VGIC interface

   - Userspace control of the 'nASSGIcap' GICv3 feature, allowing
     userspace to disable support for SGIs w/o an active state on
     hardware that previously advertised it unconditionally

   - Map supporting endpoints with cacheable memory attributes on
     systems with FEAT_S2FWB and DIC where KVM no longer needs to
     perform cache maintenance on the address range

   - Nested support for FEAT_RAS and FEAT_DoubleFault2, allowing the
     guest hypervisor to inject external aborts into an L2 VM and take
     traps of masked external aborts to the hypervisor

   - Convert more system register sanitization to the config-driven
     implementation

   - Fixes to the visibility of EL2 registers, namely making VGICv3
     system registers accessible through the VGIC device instead of the
     ONE_REG vCPU ioctls

   - Various cleanups and minor fixes

  LoongArch:

   - Add stat information for in-kernel irqchip

   - Add tracepoints for CPUCFG and CSR emulation exits

   - Enhance in-kernel irqchip emulation

   - Various cleanups

  RISC-V:

   - Enable ring-based dirty memory tracking

   - Improve perf kvm stat to report interrupt events

   - Delegate illegal instruction trap to VS-mode

   - MMU improvements related to upcoming nested virtualization

  s390x

   - Fixes

  x86:

   - Add CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC for x86 to allow disabling support for I/O
     APIC, PIC, and PIT emulation at compile time

   - Share device posted IRQ code between SVM and VMX and harden it
     against bugs and runtime errors

   - Use vcpu_idx, not vcpu_id, for GA log tag/metadata, to make lookups
     O(1) instead of O(n)

   - For MMIO stale data mitigation, track whether or not a vCPU has
     access to (host) MMIO based on whether the page tables have MMIO
     pfns mapped; using VFIO is prone to false negatives

   - Rework the MSR interception code so that the SVM and VMX APIs are
     more or less identical

   - Recalculate all MSR intercepts from scratch on MSR filter changes,
     instead of maintaining shadow bitmaps

   - Advertise support for LKGS (Load Kernel GS base), a new instruction
     that's loosely related to FRED, but is supported and enumerated
     independently

   - Fix a user-triggerable WARN that syzkaller found by setting the
     vCPU in INIT_RECEIVED state (aka wait-for-SIPI), and then putting
     the vCPU into VMX Root Mode (post-VMXON). Trying to detect every
     possible path leading to architecturally forbidden states is hard
     and even risks breaking userspace (if it goes from valid to valid
     state but passes through invalid states), so just wait until
     KVM_RUN to detect that the vCPU state isn't allowed

   - Add KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_APERFMPERF to allow disabling
     interception of APERF/MPERF reads, so that a "properly" configured
     VM can access APERF/MPERF. This has many caveats (APERF/MPERF
     cannot be zeroed on vCPU creation or saved/restored on suspend and
     resume, or preserved over thread migration let alone VM migration)
     but can be useful whenever you're interested in letting Linux
     guests see the effective physical CPU frequency in /proc/cpuinfo

   - Reject KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ for vm file descriptors if vCPUs have been
     created, as there's no known use case for changing the default
     frequency for other VM types and it goes counter to the very reason
     why the ioctl was added to the vm file descriptor. And also, there
     would be no way to make it work for confidential VMs with a
     "secure" TSC, so kill two birds with one stone

   - Dynamically allocation the shadow MMU's hashed page list, and defer
     allocating the hashed list until it's actually needed (the TDP MMU
     doesn't use the list)

   - Extract many of KVM's helpers for accessing architectural local
     APIC state to common x86 so that they can be shared by guest-side
     code for Secure AVIC

   - Various cleanups and fixes

  x86 (Intel):

   - Preserve the host's DEBUGCTL.FREEZE_IN_SMM when running the guest.
     Failure to honor FREEZE_IN_SMM can leak host state into guests

   - Explicitly check vmcs12.GUEST_DEBUGCTL on nested VM-Enter to
     prevent L1 from running L2 with features that KVM doesn't support,
     e.g. BTF

  x86 (AMD):

   - WARN and reject loading kvm-amd.ko instead of panicking the kernel
     if the nested SVM MSRPM offsets tracker can't handle an MSR (which
     is pretty much a static condition and therefore should never
     happen, but still)

   - Fix a variety of flaws and bugs in the AVIC device posted IRQ code

   - Inhibit AVIC if a vCPU's ID is too big (relative to what hardware
     supports) instead of rejecting vCPU creation

   - Extend enable_ipiv module param support to SVM, by simply leaving
     IsRunning clear in the vCPU's physical ID table entry

   - Disable IPI virtualization, via enable_ipiv, if the CPU is affected
     by erratum #1235, to allow (safely) enabling AVIC on such CPUs

   - Request GA Log interrupts if and only if the target vCPU is
     blocking, i.e. only if KVM needs a notification in order to wake
     the vCPU

   - Intercept SPEC_CTRL on AMD if the MSR shouldn't exist according to
     the vCPU's CPUID model

   - Accept any SNP policy that is accepted by the firmware with respect
     to SMT and single-socket restrictions. An incompatible policy
     doesn't put the kernel at risk in any way, so there's no reason for
     KVM to care

   - Drop a superfluous WBINVD (on all CPUs!) when destroying a VM and
     use WBNOINVD instead of WBINVD when possible for SEV cache
     maintenance

   - When reclaiming memory from an SEV guest, only do cache flushes on
     CPUs that have ever run a vCPU for the guest, i.e. don't flush the
     caches for CPUs that can't possibly have cache lines with dirty,
     encrypted data

  Generic:

   - Rework irqbypass to track/match producers and consumers via an
     xarray instead of a linked list. Using a linked list leads to
     O(n^2) insertion times, which is hugely problematic for use cases
     that create large numbers of VMs. Such use cases typically don't
     actually use irqbypass, but eliminating the pointless registration
     is a future problem to solve as it likely requires new uAPI

   - Track irqbypass's "token" as "struct eventfd_ctx *" instead of a
     "void *", to avoid making a simple concept unnecessarily difficult
     to understand

   - Decouple device posted IRQs from VFIO device assignment, as binding
     a VM to a VFIO group is not a requirement for enabling device
     posted IRQs

   - Clean up and document/comment the irqfd assignment code

   - Disallow binding multiple irqfds to an eventfd with a priority
     waiter, i.e. ensure an eventfd is bound to at most one irqfd
     through the entire host, and add a selftest to verify eventfd:irqfd
     bindings are globally unique

   - Add a tracepoint for KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES to help debug issues
     related to private &lt;=&gt; shared memory conversions

   - Drop guest_memfd's .getattr() implementation as the VFS layer will
     call generic_fillattr() if inode_operations.getattr is NULL

   - Fix issues with dirty ring harvesting where KVM doesn't bound the
     processing of entries in any way, which allows userspace to keep
     KVM in a tight loop indefinitely

   - Kill off kvm_arch_{start,end}_assignment() and x86's associated
     tracking, now that KVM no longer uses assigned_device_count as a
     heuristic for either irqbypass usage or MDS mitigation

  Selftests:

   - Fix a comment typo

   - Verify KVM is loaded when getting any KVM module param so that
     attempting to run a selftest without kvm.ko loaded results in a
     SKIP message about KVM not being loaded/enabled (versus some random
     parameter not existing)

   - Skip tests that hit EACCES when attempting to access a file, and
     print a "Root required?" help message. In most cases, the test just
     needs to be run with elevated permissions"
