2026-02-18x86/kexec: Copy ACPI root pointer address from config tableArd Biesheuvel
Dave reports that kexec may fail when the first kernel boots via the EFI stub but without EFI runtime services, as in that case, the RSDP address field in struct bootparams is never assigned. Kexec copies this value into the version of struct bootparams that it provides to the incoming kernel, which may have no other means to locate the ACPI root pointer. So take the value from the EFI config tables if no root pointer has been set in the first kernel's struct bootparams.

2026-02-18x86/xen: Fix Xen PV guest bootJuergen Gross
A recent patch moving the call of sparse_init() to common mm code broke booting as a Xen PV guest. Reason is that the Xen PV specific boot code relied on struct page area being accessible rather early, but this changed by the move of the call of sparse_init(). Fortunately the fix is rather easy: there is a static branch available indicating whether struct page contents are usable by Xen. This static branch just needs to be tested in some places for avoiding the access of struct page.

2026-02-18x86/hyperv: Remove ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT with VMMCALL insnUros Bizjak
Unlike CALL instruction, VMMCALL does not push to the stack, so it's OK to allow the compiler to insert it before the frame pointer gets set up by the containing function. ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT is for CALLs that must be inserted after the frame pointer is set up, so it is over-constraining here and can be removed.

2026-02-17s390/kexec: Make KEXEC_SIG available when CONFIG_MODULES=nAlexander Egorenkov
The commit c8424e776b09 ("MODSIGN: Export module signature definitions") replaced the dependency of KEXEC_SIG on SYSTEM_DATA_VERIFICATION with the dependency on MODULE_SIG_FORMAT. This change disables KEXEC_SIG in s390 kernels built with MODULES=n if nothing else selects MODULE_SIG_FORMAT. Furthermore, the signature verification in s390 kexec does not require MODULE_SIG_FORMAT because it requires only the struct module_signature and, therefore, does not depend on code in kernel/module_signature.c. But making ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_SIG depend on SYSTEM_DATA_VERIFICATION is also incorrect because it makes KEXEC_SIG available on s390 only if some other arbitrary option (for instance a file system or device driver) selects it directly or indirectly. To properly make KEXEC_SIG available for s390 kernels built with MODULES=y as well as MODULES=n _and_ also not depend on arbitrary options selecting SYSTEM_DATA_VERIFICATION, set ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_SIG=y for s390 and select SYSTEM_DATA_VERIFICATION when KEXEC_SIG=y.

This however was a lot of code (~3K lines) in order to support KVM, and also blocked several features. The biggest advantages is that the page size of userspace is completely independent of the page size used by the guest: userspace can mix normal pages, THPs and hugetlbfs as it sees fit, and in fact transparent hugepages were not possible before. It's also now possible to have nested guests and guests with huge pages running on the same host - Maintainership change for s390 vfio-pci - Small quality of life improvement for protected guests x86: - Add support for giving the guest full ownership of PMU hardware (contexted switched around the fastpath run loop) and allowing direct access to data MSRs and PMCs (restricted by the vPMU model). KVM still intercepts access to control registers, e.g. to enforce event filtering and to prevent the guest from profiling sensitive host state. This is more accurate, since it has no risk of contention and thus dropped events, and also has significantly less overhead. For more information, see the commit message for merge commit bf2c3138ae36 ("Merge tag 'kvm-x86-pmu-6.20' ...") - Disallow changing the virtual CPU model if L2 is active, for all the same reasons KVM disallows change the model after the first KVM_RUN - Fix a bug where KVM would incorrectly reject host accesses to PV MSRs when running with KVM_CAP_ENFORCE_PV_FEATURE_CPUID enabled, even if those were advertised as supported to userspace, - Fix a bug with protected guest state (SEV-ES/SNP and TDX) VMs, where KVM would attempt to read CR3 configuring an async #PF entry - Fail the build if EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL or EXPORT_SYMBOL is used in KVM (for x86 only) to enforce usage of EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_KVM_INTERNAL. Only a few exports that are intended for external usage, and those are allowed explicitly - When checking nested events after a vCPU is unblocked, ignore -EBUSY instead of WARNing. Userspace can sometimes put the vCPU into what should be an impossible state, and spurious exit to userspace on -EBUSY does not really do anything to solve the issue - Also throw in the towel and drop the WARN on INIT/SIPI being blocked when vCPU is in Wait-For-SIPI, which also resulted in playing whack-a-mole with syzkaller stuffing architecturally impossible states into KVM - Add support for new Intel instructions that don't require anything beyond enumerating feature flags to userspace - Grab SRCU when reading PDPTRs in KVM_GET_SREGS2 - Add WARNs to guard against modifying KVM's CPU caps outside of the intended setup flow, as nested VMX in particular is sensitive to unexpected changes in KVM's golden configuration - Add a quirk to allow userspace to opt-in to actually suppress EOI broadcasts when the suppression feature is enabled by the guest (currently limited to split IRQCHIP, i.e. userspace I/O APIC). Sadly, simply fixing KVM to honor Suppress EOI Broadcasts isn't an option as some userspaces have come to rely on KVM's buggy behavior (KVM advertises Supress EOI Broadcast irrespective of whether or not userspace I/O APIC supports Directed EOIs) - Clean up KVM's handling of marking mapped vCPU pages dirty - Drop a pile of *ancient* sanity checks hidden behind in KVM's unused ASSERT() macro, most of which could be trivially triggered by the guest and/or user, and all of which were useless - Fold "struct dest_map" into its sole user, "struct rtc_status", to make it more obvious what the weird parameter is used for, and to allow fropping these RTC shenanigans if CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=n - Bury all of ioapic.h, i8254.h and related ioctls (including KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP) behind CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=y - Add a regression test for recent APICv update fixes - Handle "hardware APIC ISR", a.k.a. SVI, updates in kvm_apic_update_apicv() to consolidate the updates, and to co-locate SVI updates with the updates for KVM's own cache of ISR information - Drop a dead function declaration - Minor cleanups x86 (Intel): - Rework KVM's handling of VMCS updates while L2 is active to temporarily switch to vmcs01 instead of deferring the update until the next nested VM-Exit. The deferred updates approach directly contributed to several bugs, was proving to be a maintenance burden due to the difficulty in auditing the correctness of deferred updates, and was polluting "struct nested_vmx" with a growing pile of booleans - Fix an SGX bug where KVM would incorrectly try to handle EPCM page faults, and instead always reflect them into the guest. Since KVM doesn't shadow EPCM entries, EPCM violations cannot be due to KVM interference and can't be resolved by KVM - Fix a bug where KVM would register its posted interrupt wakeup handler even if loading kvm-intel.ko ultimately failed - Disallow access to vmcb12 fields that aren't fully supported, mostly to avoid weirdness and complexity for FRED and other features, where KVM wants enable VMCS shadowing for fields that conditionally exist - Print out the "bad" offsets and values if kvm-intel.ko refuses to load (or refuses to online a CPU) due to a VMCS config mismatch x86 (AMD): - Drop a user-triggerable WARN on nested_svm_load_cr3() failure - Add support for virtualizing ERAPS. Note, correct virtualization of ERAPS relies on an upcoming, publicly announced change in the APM to reduce the set of conditions where hardware (i.e. KVM) *must* flush the RAP - Ignore nSVM intercepts for instructions that are not supported according to L1's virtual CPU model - Add support for expedited writes to the fast MMIO bus, a la VMX's fastpath for EPT Misconfig - Don't set GIF when clearing EFER.SVME, as GIF exists independently of SVM, and allow userspace to restore nested state with GIF=0 - Treat exit_code as an unsigned 64-bit value through all of KVM - Add support for fetching SNP certificates from userspace - Fix a bug where KVM would use vmcb02 instead of vmcb01 when emulating VMLOAD or VMSAVE on behalf of L2 - Misc fixes and cleanups x86 selftests: - Add a regression test for TPR<=>CR8 synchronization and IRQ masking - Overhaul selftest's MMU infrastructure to genericize stage-2 MMU support, and extend x86's infrastructure to support EPT and NPT (for L2 guests) - Extend several nested VMX tests to also cover nested SVM - Add a selftest for nested VMLOAD/VMSAVE - Rework the nested dirty log test, originally added as a regression test for PML where KVM logged L2 GPAs instead of L1 GPAs, to improve test coverage and to hopefully make the test easier to understand and maintain guest_memfd: - Remove kvm_gmem_populate()'s preparation tracking and half-baked hugepage handling. SEV/SNP was the only user of the tracking and it can do it via the RMP - Retroactively document and enforce (for SNP) that KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE and KVM_TDX_INIT_MEM_REGION require the source page to be 4KiB aligned, to avoid non-trivial complexity for something that no known VMM seems to be doing and to avoid an API special case for in-place conversion, which simply can't support unaligned sources - When populating guest_memfd memory, GUP the source page in common code and pass the refcounted page to the vendor callback, instead of letting vendor code do the heavy lifting.

(Before, the allocator would always return "void *", which can be implicitly cast to any pointer type.) The assigned type is "struct gic_kvm_info", but the returned type, while matching, is const qualified. To get them exactly matching, just use the dereferenced pointer for the sizeof().

2026-02-13KVM: arm64: Fix ID register initialization for non-protected pKVM guestsFuad Tabba
In protected mode, the hypervisor maintains a separate instance of the `kvm` structure for each VM. For non-protected VMs, this structure is initialized from the host's `kvm` state. Currently, `pkvm_init_features_from_host()` copies the `KVM_ARCH_FLAG_ID_REGS_INITIALIZED` flag from the host without the underlying `id_regs` data being initialized. This results in the hypervisor seeing the flag as set while the ID registers remain zeroed. Consequently, `kvm_has_feat()` checks at EL2 fail (return 0) for non-protected VMs. This breaks logic that relies on feature detection, such as `ctxt_has_tcrx()` for TCR2_EL1 support. As a result, certain system registers (e.g., TCR2_EL1, PIR_EL1, POR_EL1) are not saved/restored during the world switch, which could lead to state corruption. Fix this by explicitly copying the ID registers from the host `kvm` to the hypervisor `kvm` for non-protected VMs during initialization, since we trust the host with its non-protected guests' features. Also ensure `KVM_ARCH_FLAG_ID_REGS_INITIALIZED` is cleared initially in `pkvm_init_features_from_host` so that `vm_copy_id_regs` can properly initialize them and set the flag once done.

2026-02-13KVM: arm64: Optimise away S1POE handling when not supported by hostFuad Tabba
Although ID register sanitisation prevents guests from seeing the feature, adding this check to the helper allows the compiler to entirely eliminate S1POE-specific code paths (such as context switching POR_EL1) when the host kernel is compiled without support (CONFIG_ARM64_POE is disabled). This aligns with the pattern used for other optional features like SVE (kvm_has_sve()) and FPMR (kvm_has_fpmr()), ensuring no POE logic if the host lacks support, regardless of the guest configuration state.

2026-02-13KVM: arm64: Hide S1POE from guests when not supported by the hostFuad Tabba
When CONFIG_ARM64_POE is disabled, KVM does not save/restore POR_EL1. However, ID_AA64MMFR3_EL1 sanitisation currently exposes the feature to guests whenever the hardware supports it, ignoring the host kernel configuration. If a guest detects this feature and attempts to use it, the host will fail to context-switch POR_EL1, potentially leading to state corruption. Fix this by masking ID_AA64MMFR3_EL1.S1POE in the sanitised system registers, preventing KVM from advertising the feature when the host does not support it (i.e. system_supports_poe() is false).

2026-02-12arm64: mm: implement the architecture-specific clear_flush_young_ptes()Baolin Wang
Implement the Arm64 architecture-specific clear_flush_young_ptes() to enable batched checking of young flags and TLB flushing, improving performance during large folio reclamation. Performance testing: Allocate 10G clean file-backed folios by mmap() in a memory cgroup, and try to reclaim 8G file-backed folios via the memory.reclaim interface. I can observe 33% performance improvement on my Arm64 32-core server (and 10%+ improvement on my X86 machine). Meanwhile, the hotspot folio_check_references() dropped from approximately 35% to around 5%.

This generates better and faster code with very small or no text size increases, as in many cases the call generated more code than the actual inlined helper. - Extend AccECN implementation so that is now functionally complete, also allow the user-space enabling it on a per network namespace basis. - Add support for memory providers with large (above 4K) rx buffer. Paired with hw-gro, larger rx buffer sizes reduce the number of buffers traversing the stack, dincreasing single stream CPU usage by up to ~30%. - Do not add HBH header to Big TCP GSO packets. This simplifies the RX path, the TX path and the NIC drivers, and is possible because user-space taps can now interpret correctly such packets without the HBH hint. - Allow IPv6 routes to be configured with a gateway address that is resolved out of a different interface than the one specified, aligning IPv6 to IPv4 behavior. - Multi-queue aware sch_cake. This makes it possible to scale the rate shaper of sch_cake across multiple CPUs, while still enforcing a single global rate on the interface. - Add support for the nbcon (new buffer console) infrastructure to netconsole, enabling lock-free, priority-based console operations that are safer in crash scenarios. - Improve the TCP ipv6 output path to cache the flow information, saving cpu cycles, reducing cache line misses and stack use. - Improve netfilter packet tracker to resolve clashes for most protocols, avoiding unneeded drops on rare occasions. - Add IP6IP6 tunneling acceleration to the flowtable infrastructure. - Reduce tcp socket size by one cache line. - Notify neighbour changes atomically, avoiding inconsistencies between the notification sequence and the actual states sequence. - Add vsock namespace support, allowing complete isolation of vsocks across different network namespaces. - Improve xsk generic performances with cache-alignment-oriented optimizations. - Support netconsole automatic target recovery, allowing netconsole to reestablish targets when underlying low-level interface comes back online.

KVM mediated PMU support for 6.20 Add support for mediated PMUs, where KVM gives the guest full ownership of PMU hardware (contexted switched around the fastpath run loop) and allows direct access to data MSRs and PMCs (restricted by the vPMU model), but intercepts access to control registers, e.g. to enforce event filtering and to prevent the guest from profiling sensitive host state. To keep overall complexity reasonable, mediated PMU usage is all or nothing for a given instance of KVM (controlled via module param). The Mediated PMU is disabled default, partly to maintain backwards compatilibity for existing setup, partly because there are tradeoffs when running with a mediated PMU that may be non-starters for some use cases, e.g. the host loses the ability to profile guests with mediated PMUs, the fastpath run loop is also a blind spot, entry/exit transitions are more expensive, etc. Versus the emulated PMU, where KVM is "just another perf user", the mediated PMU delivers more accurate profiling and monitoring (no risk of contention and thus dropped events), with significantly less overhead (fewer exits and faster emulation/programming of event selectors) E.g. when running Specint-2017 on a single-socket Sapphire Rapids with 56 cores and no-SMT, and using perf from within the guest: Perf command: a. basic-sampling: perf record -F 1000 -e 6-instructions -a --overwrite b. multiplex-sampling: perf record -F 1000 -e 10-instructions -a --overwrite Guest performance overhead: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Test case | emulated vPMU | all passthrough | passthrough with | | | | | event filters | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | basic-sampling | 33.62% | 4.24% | 6.21% | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | multiplex-sampling | 79.32% | 7.34% | 10.45% | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

KVM x86 APIC-ish changes for 6.20 - Fix a benign bug where KVM could use the wrong memslots (ignored SMM) when creating a vCPU-specific mapping of guest memory. - Clean up KVM's handling of marking mapped vCPU pages dirty. - Drop a pile of *ancient* sanity checks hidden behind in KVM's unused ASSERT() macro, most of which could be trivially triggered by the guest and/or user, and all of which were useless. - Fold "struct dest_map" into its sole user, "struct rtc_status", to make it more obvious what the weird parameter is used for, and to allow burying the RTC shenanigans behind CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=y. - Bury all of ioapic.h and KVM_IRQCHIP_KERNEL behind CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=y. - Add a regression test for recent APICv update fixes. - Rework KVM's handling of VMCS updates while L2 is active to temporarily switch to vmcs01 instead of deferring the update until the next nested VM-Exit. The deferred updates approach directly contributed to several bugs, was proving to be a maintenance burden due to the difficulty in auditing the correctness of deferred updates, and was polluting "struct nested_vmx" with a growing pile of booleans. - Handle "hardware APIC ISR", a.k.a. SVI, updates in kvm_apic_update_apicv() to consolidate the updates, and to co-locate SVI updates with the updates for KVM's own cache of ISR information. - Drop a dead function declaration.

KVM guest_memfd changes for 6.20 - Remove kvm_gmem_populate()'s preparation tracking and half-baked hugepage handling, and instead rely on SNP (the only user of the tracking) to do its own tracking via the RMP. - Retroactively document and enforce (for SNP) that KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE and KVM_TDX_INIT_MEM_REGION require the source page to be 4KiB aligned, to avoid non-trivial complexity for a non-existent usecase (and because in-place conversion simply can't support unaligned sources). - When populating guest_memfd memory, GUP the source page in common code and pass the refcounted page to the vendor callback, instead of letting vendor code do the heavy lifting. Doing so avoids a looming deadlock bug with in-place due an AB-BA conflict betwee mmap_lock and guest_memfd's filemap invalidate lock.

Pull SoC devicetree updates from Arnd Bergmann: "There are a handful of new SoCs this time, all of these are more or less related to chips in a wider family: - SpacemiT Key Stone K3 is an 8-core risc-v chip, and the first widely available RVA23 implementation. Note that this is entirely unrelated with the similarly named Texas Instruments K3 chip family that follwed the TI Keystone2 SoC. - The Realtek Kent family of SoCs contains three chip models rtd1501s, rtd1861b and rtd1920s, and is related to their earlier Set-top-box and NAS products such as rtd1619, but is built on newer Arm Cortex-A78 cores. - The Qualcomm Milos family includes the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 (SM7635) mobile phone SoC built around Armv9 Kryo cores of the Arm Cortex-A720 generation. This one is used in the Fairphone Gen 6 - Qualcomm Kaanapali is a new SoC based around eight high performance Oryon CPU cores - NXP i.MX8QP and i.MX952 are both feature reduced versions of chips we already support, i.e. the i.MX8QM and i.MX952, with fewer CPU cores and I/O interfaces. As part of a cleanup, a number of SoC specific devicetree files got removed because they did not have a single board using the .dtsi files and they were never compile tested as a result: Samsung s3c6400, ST spear320s, ST stm32mp21xc/stm32mp23xc/stm32mp25xc, Renesas r8a779m0/r8a779m2/r8a779m4/r8a779m6/r8a779m7/r8a779m8/r8a779mb/ r9a07g044c1/r9a07g044l1/r9a07g054l1/r9a09g047e37, and TI am3703/am3715.

2026-02-10x86: keep legacy generated vdso files around in .gitignore fileLinus Torvalds
Commit 93d73005bff4 ("x86/entry/vdso: Rename vdso_image_* to vdso*_image") updated the vdso .gitignore file with the new filenames, which is certainly not incorrect. However, while adding new generated names is obviously the right thing to do, you should *not* immediately remove the old filenames from the .gitignore file when things move around or get renamed, because people still have those old generated files in their build trees - and they haven't suddenly become valid files to commit to the repository just because they were moved or renamed. While it's mostly just a slight visual nuisance for 'git status' that can be fixed up with a clean build tree, it can become more serious than that: see for example commit 04a3389b3535 ("Remove stale generated 'genheaders' file"). That commit removed up a stale generated file that had been carelessly committed by a kernel developer because it wasn't properly ignored any more and thus showed up as a new file in their tree.
