When KHO (Kexec HandOver) is enabled, it sets up scratch memory regions
early during device tree scanning. After kexec, the new kernel
exclusively uses this region for memory allocations during boot up to the
initialization of the page allocator
However, when booting with EFI, EFI's reserve_regions() uses
memblock_remove(0, PHYS_ADDR_MAX) to clear all memory regions before
rebuilding them from EFI data. This destroys KHO scratch regions and
their flags, thus causing a kernel panic, as there are no scratch memory
regions.
Instead of wholesale removal, iterate through memory regions and only
remove non-KHO ones. This preserves KHO scratch regions, which are good
known memory, while still allowing EFI to rebuild its memory map.

Patch series "efi: Fix EFI boot with kexec handover (KHO)", v3.
This patch series fixes a kernel panic that occurs when booting with both
EFI and KHO (Kexec HandOver) enabled.
The issue arises because EFI's `reserve_regions()` clears all memory
regions with `memblock_remove(0, PHYS_ADDR_MAX)` before rebuilding them
from EFI data. This destroys KHO scratch regions that were set up early
during device tree scanning, causing a panic as the kernel has no valid
memory regions for early allocations.
The first patch introduces `is_kho_boot()` to allow early boot components
to reliably detect if the kernel was booted via KHO-enabled kexec. The
existing `kho_is_enabled()` only checks the command line and doesn't
verify if an actual KHO FDT was passed.
The second patch modifies EFI's `reserve_regions()` to selectively remove
only non-KHO memory regions when KHO is active, preserving the critical
scratch regions while still allowing EFI to rebuild its memory map.
This patch (of 3):
During early initialisation, after a kexec, other components, like EFI
need to know if a KHO enabled kexec is performed. The `kho_is_enabled`
function is not enough as in the early stages, it only reflects whether
the cmdline has KHO enabled, not if an actual KHO FDT exists.
Extend the KHO API with `is_kho_boot()` to provide a way for components to
check if a KHO enabled kexec is performed.

crash: add KUnit tests for crash_exclude_mem_range
crash_exclude_mem_range seems to be a simple function but there have been
multiple attempts to fix it,
- commit a2e9a95d2190 ("kexec: Improve & fix crash_exclude_mem_range()
to handle overlapping ranges")
- commit 6dff31597264 ("crash_core: fix and simplify the logic of
crash_exclude_mem_range()")
So add a set of unit tests to verify the correctness of current
implementation. Shall we change the function in the future, the unit
tests can also help prevent any regression. For example, we may make the
function smarter by allocating extra crash_mem range on demand thus there
is no need for the caller to foresee any memory range split or address
-ENOMEM failure.
The testing strategy is to verify the correctness of base case. The
base case is there is one to-be-excluded range A and one existing range
B. Then we can exhaust all possibilities of the position of A regarding
B. For example, here are two combinations,
Case: A is completely inside B (causes split)
Original: [----B----]
Exclude: {--A--}
Result: [B1] .. [B2]
Case: A overlaps B's left part
Original: [----B----]
Exclude: {---A---}
Result: [..B..]
In theory we can prove the correctness by induction,
- Base case: crash_exclude_mem_range is correct in the case where n=1
(n is the number of existing ranges).
- Inductive step: If crash_exclude_mem_range is correct for n=k
existing ranges, then the it's also correct for n=k+1 ranges.
But for the sake of simplicity, simply use unit tests to cover the base
case together with two regression tests.
Note most of the exclude_single_range_test() code is generated by Google
Gemini with some small tweaks. The function specification, function body
and the exhausting test strategy are presented as prompts.

x86/kexec: fix potential cmem->ranges out of memory
In memmap_exclude_ranges(), elfheader will be excluded from crashk_res.
In the current x86 architecture code, the elfheader is always allocated at

depends on the allocation position of elfheader in crashk_res. To avoid
potential out of memory in future, add a extra slot. Otherwise loading
the kdump kernel will fail because crash_exclude_mem_range will return
-ENOMEM. random kexec_buf for passing dm crypt keys may cause a range
split too, add another extra slot here.
The similar issue also exists in fill_up_crash_elf_data(). The range to
be excluded is [0, 1M], start (0) is special and will not appear in the
middle of existing cmem->ranges[]. But in cast the low 1M could be
changed in the future, add a extra slot too.

watchdog: skip checks when panic is in progress
This issue was found when an EFI pstore was configured for kdump logging
with the NMI hard lockup detector enabled. The efi-pstore write operation
was slow, and with a large number of logs, the pstore dump callback within
kmsg_dump() took a long time.
This delay triggered the NMI watchdog, leading to a nested panic. The
call flow demonstrates how the secondary panic caused an
emergency_restart() to be triggered before the initial pstore operation
could finish, leading to a failure to dump the logs:
real panic() {
kmsg_dump() {
...
pstore_dump() {
start_dump();
... // long time operation triggers NMI watchdog
nmi panic() {
...
emergency_restart(); // pstore unfinished
}
...
finish_dump(); // never reached
}
}
}
Both watchdog_buddy_check_hardlockup() and watchdog_overflow_callback()
may trigger during a panic. This can lead to recursive panic handling.
Add panic_in_progress() checks so watchdog activity is skipped once a
panic has begun.
This prevents recursive panic and keeps the panic path more reliable.

panic: introduce helper functions for panic state
Patch series "panic: introduce panic status function family", v2.
This series introduces a family of helper functions to manage panic state
and updates existing code to use them.
Before this series, panic state helpers were scattered and inconsistent.
For example, panic_in_progress() was defined in printk/printk.c, not in
panic.c or panic.h. As a result, developers had to look in unexpected
places to understand or re-use panic state logic. Other checks were open-
coded, duplicating logic across panic, crash, and watchdog paths.
The new helpers centralize the functionality in panic.c/panic.h:
- panic_try_start()
- panic_reset()
- panic_in_progress()
- panic_on_this_cpu()
- panic_on_other_cpu()
Patches 1–8 add the helpers and convert panic/crash and printk/nbcon
code to use them.
Patch 9 fixes a bug in the watchdog subsystem by skipping checks when a
panic is in progress, avoiding interference with the panic CPU.
Together, this makes panic state handling simpler, more discoverable, and
more robust.
This patch (of 9):
This patch introduces four new helper functions to abstract the management
of the panic_cpu variable. These functions will be used in subsequent
patches to refactor existing code.
The direct use of panic_cpu can be error-prone and ambiguous, as it
requires manual checks to determine which CPU is handling the panic. The
new helpers clarify intent:
panic_try_start():
Atomically sets the current CPU as the panicking CPU.
panic_reset():
Reset panic_cpu to PANIC_CPU_INVALID.
panic_in_progress():
Checks if a panic has been triggered.
panic_on_this_cpu():
Returns true if the current CPU is the panic originator.
panic_on_other_cpu():
Returns true if a panic is on another CPU.
This change lays the groundwork for improved code readability
and robustness in the panic handling subsystem.

fork: kill the pointless lower_32_bits() in create_io_thread(), kernel_thread(), and user_mode_thread()
Unlike sys_clone(), these helpers have only in kernel users which should
pass the correct "flags" argument. lower_32_bits(flags) just adds the
unnecessary confusion and doesn't allow to use the CLONE_ flags which
don't fit into 32 bits.
create_io_thread() looks especially confusing because:
- "flags" is a compile-time constant, so lower_32_bits() simply
has no effect
- .exit_signal = (lower_32_bits(flags) & CSIGNAL) is harmless but
doesn't look right, copy_process(CLONE_THREAD) will ignore this
argument anyway.
None of these helpers actually need CLONE_UNTRACED or "& ~CSIGNAL", but
their presence does not add any confusion and improves code clarity.

init: handle bootloader identifier in kernel parameters
BootLoaders (Grub, LILO, etc) may pass an identifier such as "BOOT_IMAGE=
/boot/vmlinuz-x.y.z" to kernel parameters. But these identifiers are not
recognized by the kernel itself so will be passed to userspace. However
user space init program also don't recognize it.
KEXEC/KDUMP (kexec-tools) may also pass an identifier such as "kexec" on
some architectures.
We cannot change BootLoader's behavior, because this behavior exists for
many years, and there are already user space programs search BOOT_IMAGE=
in /proc/cmdline to obtain the kernel image locations:
https://github.com/linuxdeepin/deepin-ab-recovery/blob/master/util.go
(search getBootOptions)
https://github.com/linuxdeepin/deepin-ab-recovery/blob/master/main.go
(search getKernelReleaseWithBootOption) So the the best way is handle
(ignore) it by the kernel itself, which can avoid such boot warnings (if
we use something like init=/bin/bash, bootloader identifier can even cause
a crash):
Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=(hd0,1)/vmlinuz-6.x root=/dev/sda3 ro console=tty
Unknown kernel command line parameters "BOOT_IMAGE=(hd0,1)/vmlinuz-6.x", will be passed to user space.

idr test suite: remove usage of the deprecated ida_simple_xx() API
Patch series "ida: Remove the ida_simple_xxx() API", v3.
These are the final steps in removing the ida_simple_xxx() API.
This series was last proposed in August 2024. Since then, some users of
the old API have be re-introduced and then removed.
A first time in drivers/misc/rpmb-core.c, added in commit 1e9046e3a154
("rpmb: add Replay Protected Memory Block (RPMB) subsystem") (2024-08-26)
and removed in commit dfc881abca42 ("rpmb: Remove usage of the deprecated
ida_simple_xx() API") (2024-10-13).
A second time in drivers/gpio/gpio-mpsse.c, added in commit c46a74ff05c0
("gpio: add support for FTDI's MPSSE as GPIO") (2024-10-14) and removed in
commit f57c08492866 (gpio: mpsse: Remove usage of the deprecated
ida_simple_xx() API) (2024-11-22).
Since then, I've not spotted any new usage.
So things being stable now, it's time to end this story once and for all.
This patch (of 3):
ida_alloc() and ida_free() should be preferred to the deprecated
ida_simple_get() and ida_simple_remove().
Note that the upper limit of ida_simple_get() is exclusive, but the one of
ida_alloc_range()/ida_alloc_max() is inclusive. But because of the ranges
used for the tests, there is no need to adjust them.
kcov: use write memory barrier after memcpy() in kcov_move_area()
KCOV Remote uses two separate memory buffers, one private to the kernel
space (kcov_remote_areas) and the second one shared between user and
kernel space (kcov->area). After every pair of kcov_remote_start() and
kcov_remote_stop(), the coverage data collected in the kcov_remote_areas
is copied to kcov->area so the user can read the collected coverage data.
This memcpy() is located in kcov_move_area().
The load/store pattern on the kernel-side [1] is:
```
/* dst_area === kcov->area, dst_area[0] is where the count is stored */
dst_len = READ_ONCE(*(unsigned long *)dst_area);
...
memcpy(dst_entries, src_entries, ...);
...
WRITE_ONCE(*(unsigned long *)dst_area, dst_len + entries_moved);
```
And for the user [2]:
```
/* cover is equivalent to kcov->area */
n = __atomic_load_n(&cover[0], __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
```
Without a write-memory barrier, the atomic load for the user can
potentially read fresh values of the count stored at cover[0], but
continue to read stale coverage data from the buffer itself. Hence, we
recommend adding a write-memory barrier between the memcpy() and the
WRITE_ONCE() in kcov_move_area().

x86/kexec: carry forward the boot DTB on kexec
Currently, the kexec_file_load syscall on x86 does not support passing a
device tree blob to the new kernel. Some embedded x86 systems use device
trees. On these systems, failing to pass a device tree to the new kernel
causes a boot failure.
To add support for this, we copy the behavior of ARM64 and PowerPC and
copy the current boot's device tree blob for use in the new kernel. We do
this on x86 by passing the device tree blob as a setup_data entry in
accordance with the x86 boot protocol.
This behavior is gated behind the KEXEC_FILE_FORCE_DTB flag.

After an innocuous change in -next that modified a structure that
contains __counted_by, clang-19 start crashing when building certain
files in drivers/gpu/drm/xe. When assertions are enabled, the more
descriptive failure is:
clang: clang/lib/AST/RecordLayoutBuilder.cpp:3335: const ASTRecordLayout &clang::ASTContext::getASTRecordLayout(const RecordDecl *) const: Assertion `D && "Cannot get layout of forward declarations!"' failed.
According to a reverse bisect, a tangential change to the LLVM IR
generation phase of clang during the LLVM 20 development cycle [1]
resolves this problem. Bump the version of clang that enables
CONFIG_CC_HAS_COUNTED_BY to 20.1.0 to ensure that this issue cannot be
hit.

- Correctly handle 'invariant' system registers for protected VMs
- Improved handling of VNCR data aborts, including external aborts
- Fixes for handling of FEAT_RAS for NV guests, providing a sane
fault context during SEA injection and preventing the use of
RASv1p1 fault injection hardware
- Ensure that page table destruction when a VM is destroyed gives an
opportunity to reschedule
- Large fix to KVM's infrastructure for managing guest context loaded
on the CPU, addressing issues where the output of AT emulation
doesn't get reflected to the guest
- Fix AT S12 emulation to actually perform stage-2 translation when
necessary
- Avoid attempting vLPI irqbypass when GICv4 has been explicitly

The main fixes here are for some of the cleanups done in the core in
this release, we had broken component lookup in the case with a single

shortlogs for the Intel WCL and rsnd drivers look like minor cleanups
but are actually bugfixes (adding an op needed for correct functionality
