[ Upstream commit 31557b3487b349464daf42bc4366153743c1e727 ]

A decade ago commit 6d08acd2d32e ("in6: fix conflict with glibc")
hid the definitions of IPV6 options, because GCC was complaining
about duplicates. The commit did not list the warnings seen, but
trying to recreate them now I think they are (building iproute2):

In file included from ./include/uapi/rdma/rdma_user_cm.h:39,
                 from rdma.h:16,
                 from res.h:9,
                 from res-ctx.c:7:
../include/uapi/linux/in6.h:171:9: warning: ‘IPV6_ADD_MEMBERSHIP’ redefined
  171 | #define IPV6_ADD_MEMBERSHIP     20
      |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In file included from /usr/include/netinet/in.h:37,
                 from rdma.h:13:
/usr/include/bits/in.h:233:10: note: this is the location of the previous definition
  233 | # define IPV6_ADD_MEMBERSHIP    IPV6_JOIN_GROUP
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
../include/uapi/linux/in6.h:172:9: warning: ‘IPV6_DROP_MEMBERSHIP’ redefined
  172 | #define IPV6_DROP_MEMBERSHIP    21
      |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/usr/include/bits/in.h:234:10: note: this is the location of the previous definition
  234 | # define IPV6_DROP_MEMBERSHIP   IPV6_LEAVE_GROUP
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Compilers don't complain about redefinition if the defines
are identical, but here we have the kernel using the literal
value, and glibc using an indirection (defining to a name
of another define, with the same numerical value).

Problem is, the commit in question hid all the IPV6 socket
options, and glibc has a pretty sparse list. For instance
it lacks Flow Label related options. Willem called this out
in commit 3fb321fde22d ("selftests/net: ipv6 flowlabel"):

  /* uapi/glibc weirdness may leave this undefined */
  #ifndef IPV6_FLOWINFO
  #define IPV6_FLOWINFO 11
  #endif

More interestingly some applications (socat) use
a #ifdef IPV6_FLOWINFO to gate compilation of thier
rudimentary flow label support. (For added confusion
socat misspells it as IPV4_FLOWINFO in some places.)

Hide only the two defines we know glibc has a problem
with. If we discover more warnings we can hide more
but we should avoid covering the entire block of
defines for "IPV6 socket options".

commit cf73d9970ea4f8cace5d8f02d2565a2723003112 upstream.

__kernel_rwf_t is defined as int, the actual size of which is
implementation defined. It won't go well if some compiler / archs
ever defines it as i64, so replace it with __u32, hoping that
there is no one using i16 for it.

<title>vfio/pci: Do vf_token checks for VFIO_DEVICE_BIND_IOMMUFD</title>

[ Upstream commit 86624ba3b522b6512def25534341da93356c8da4 ]

This was missed during the initial implementation. The VFIO PCI encodes
the vf_token inside the device name when opening the device from the group
FD, something like:

  "0000:04:10.0 vf_token=bd8d9d2b-5a5f-4f5a-a211-f591514ba1f3"

This is used to control access to a VF unless there is co-ordination with
the owner of the PF.

Since we no longer have a device name in the cdev path, pass the token
directly through VFIO_DEVICE_BIND_IOMMUFD using an optional field
indicated by VFIO_DEVICE_BIND_FLAG_TOKEN.

<title>vhost: Reintroduce kthread API and add mode selection</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.stealer.net/cgit.cgi/user/sven/linux.git/commit/?id=3fe763963289b5072a03e5ef1c8cb3f7bd46597c'/>
<id>urn:sha1:3fe763963289b5072a03e5ef1c8cb3f7bd46597c</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 7d9896e9f6d02d8aa85e63f736871f96c59a5263 ]

Since commit 6e890c5d5021 ("vhost: use vhost_tasks for worker threads"),
the vhost uses vhost_task and operates as a child of the
owner thread. This is required for correct CPU usage accounting,
especially when using containers.

However, this change has caused confusion for some legacy
userspace applications, and we didn't notice until it's too late.

Unfortunately, it's too late to revert - we now have userspace
depending both on old and new behaviour :(

To address the issue, reintroduce kthread mode for vhost workers and
provide a configuration to select between kthread and task worker.

- Add 'fork_owner' parameter to vhost_dev to let users select kthread
  or task mode. Default mode is task mode(VHOST_FORK_OWNER_TASK).

- Reintroduce kthread mode support:
  * Bring back the original vhost_worker() implementation,
    and renamed to vhost_run_work_kthread_list().
  * Add cgroup support for the kthread
  * Introduce struct vhost_worker_ops:
    - Encapsulates create / stop / wake‑up callbacks.
    - vhost_worker_create() selects the proper ops according to
      inherit_owner.

- Userspace configuration interface:
  * New IOCTLs:
      - VHOST_SET_FORK_FROM_OWNER lets userspace select task mode
        (VHOST_FORK_OWNER_TASK) or kthread mode (VHOST_FORK_OWNER_KTHREAD)
      - VHOST_GET_FORK_FROM_OWNER reads the current worker mode
  * Expose module parameter 'fork_from_owner_default' to allow system
    administrators to configure the default mode for vhost workers
  * Kconfig option CONFIG_VHOST_ENABLE_FORK_OWNER_CONTROL controls whether
    these IOCTLs and the parameter are available

- The VHOST_NEW_WORKER functionality requires fork_owner to be set
  to true, with validation added to ensure proper configuration

This partially reverts or improves upon:
  commit 6e890c5d5021 ("vhost: use vhost_tasks for worker threads")
  commit 1cdaafa1b8b4 ("vhost: replace single worker pointer with xarray")

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 95cbab48782bf62e4093837dc15ac6133902c12f ]

drm_panthor_gpu_info::shader_present is currently automatically offset
by 4 byte to meet Arm's 32-bit/64-bit field alignment rules, but those
constraints don't stand on 32-bit x86 and cause a mismatch when running
an x86 binary in a user emulated environment like FEX. It's also
generally agreed that uAPIs should explicitly pad their struct fields,
which we originally intended to do, but a mistake slipped through during
the submission process, leading drm_panthor_gpu_info::shader_present to
be misaligned.

This uAPI change doesn't break any of the existing users of panthor
which are either arm32 or arm64 where the 64-bit alignment of
u64 fields is already enforced a the compiler level.

Changes in v2:
- Rename the garbage field into pad0 and adjust the comment accordingly
- Add Liviu's A-b

Changes in v3:
- Add R-bs

 "Many patches, pretty much all of them small, that accumulated while I
  was on vacation.

  ARM:

   - Remove the last leftovers of the ill-fated FPSIMD host state
     mapping at EL2 stage-1

   - Fix unexpected advertisement to the guest of unimplemented S2 base
     granule sizes

   - Gracefully fail initialising pKVM if the interrupt controller isn't
     GICv3

   - Also gracefully fail initialising pKVM if the carveout allocation
     fails

   - Fix the computing of the minimum MMIO range required for the host
     on stage-2 fault

   - Fix the generation of the GICv3 Maintenance Interrupt in nested
     mode

  x86:

   - Reject SEV{-ES} intra-host migration if one or more vCPUs are
     actively being created, so as not to create a non-SEV{-ES} vCPU in
     an SEV{-ES} VM

   - Use a pre-allocated, per-vCPU buffer for handling de-sparsification
     of vCPU masks in Hyper-V hypercalls; fixes a "stack frame too
     large" issue

   - Allow out-of-range/invalid Xen event channel ports when configuring
     IRQ routing, to avoid dictating a specific ioctl() ordering to
     userspace

   - Conditionally reschedule when setting memory attributes to avoid
     soft lockups when userspace converts huge swaths of memory to/from
     private

   - Add back MWAIT as a required feature for the MONITOR/MWAIT selftest

   - Add a missing field in struct sev_data_snp_launch_start that
     resulted in the guest-visible workarounds field being filled at the
     wrong offset

   - Skip non-canonical address when processing Hyper-V PV TLB flushes
     to avoid VM-Fail on INVVPID

   - Advertise supported TDX TDVMCALLs to userspace

   - Pass SetupEventNotifyInterrupt arguments to userspace

   - Fix TSC frequency underflow"

<title>uapi: bitops: use UAPI-safe variant of BITS_PER_LONG again (2)</title>

<content type='text'>
BITS_PER_LONG does not exist in UAPI headers, so can't be used by the UAPI
__GENMASK(). Instead __BITS_PER_LONG needs to be used.

When __GENMASK() was introduced in commit 3c7a8e190bc5 ("uapi: introduce uapi-friendly macros for GENMASK"),
the code was fine. A broken revert in 1e7933a575ed ("uapi: Revert "bitops: avoid integer overflow in GENMASK(_ULL)"")
introduced the incorrect usage of BITS_PER_LONG.
That was fixed in commit 11fcf368506d ("uapi: bitops: use UAPI-safe variant of BITS_PER_LONG again").
But a broken sync of the kernel headers with the tools/ headers in
commit fc92099902fb ("tools headers: Synchronize linux/bits.h with the kernel sources")
undid the fix.

Reapply the fix and while at it also fix the tools header.
