ipvs: fix ipv4 null-ptr-deref in route error path
The IPv4 code path in __ip_vs_get_out_rt() calls dst_link_failure()
without ensuring skb->dev is set, leading to a NULL pointer dereference
in fib_compute_spec_dst() when ipv4_link_failure() attempts to send
ICMP destination unreachable messages.
The issue emerged after commit ed0de45a1008 ("ipv4: recompile ip options
in ipv4_link_failure") started calling __ip_options_compile() from
ipv4_link_failure(). This code path eventually calls fib_compute_spec_dst()
which dereferences skb->dev. An attempt was made to fix the NULL skb->dev
dereference in commit 0113d9c9d1cc ("ipv4: fix null-deref in
ipv4_link_failure"), but it only addressed the immediate dev_net(skb->dev)
dereference by using a fallback device. The fix was incomplete because
fib_compute_spec_dst() later in the call chain still accesses skb->dev
directly, which remains NULL when IPVS calls dst_link_failure().
The crash occurs when:
1. IPVS processes a packet in NAT mode with a misconfigured destination
2. Route lookup fails in __ip_vs_get_out_rt() before establishing a route
3. The error path calls dst_link_failure(skb) with skb->dev == NULL
4. ipv4_link_failure() → ipv4_send_dest_unreach() →
__ip_options_compile() → fib_compute_spec_dst()
5. fib_compute_spec_dst() dereferences NULL skb->dev
Apply the same fix used for IPv6 in commit 326bf17ea5d4 ("ipvs: fix
ipv6 route unreach panic"): set skb->dev from skb_dst(skb)->dev before
calling dst_link_failure().

inet: frags: flush pending skbs in fqdir_pre_exit()
Fix the issue reported by NIPA starting on Sep 18th [1], where
pernet_ops_rwsem is constantly held by a reader, preventing writers
from grabbing it (specifically driver modules from loading).
The fact that reports started around that time seems coincidental.
The issue seems to be skbs queued for defrag preventing conntrack
from exiting.
First patch fixes another theoretical issue, it's mostly a leftover
from an attempt to get rid of the inet_frag_queue refcnt, which
I gave up on (still think it's doable but a bit of a time sink).
Second patch is a minor refactor.
The real fix is in the third patch. It's the simplest fix I can
think of which is to flush the frag queues. Perhaps someone has
a better suggestion?
Last patch adds an explicit warning for conntrack getting stuck,
as this seems like something that can easily happen if bugs sneak in.
The warning will hopefully save us the first 20% of the investigation
effort.

inet: frags: flush pending skbs in fqdir_pre_exit()
We have been seeing occasional deadlocks on pernet_ops_rwsem since
September in NIPA. The stuck task was usually modprobe (often loading
a driver like ipvlan), trying to take the lock as a Writer.
lockdep does not track readers for rwsems so the read wasn't obvious
from the reports.
On closer inspection the Reader holding the lock was conntrack looping
forever in nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list(). Based on past experience
with occasional NIPA crashes I looked thru the tests which run before
the crash and noticed that the crash follows ip_defrag.sh. An immediate
red flag. Scouring thru (de)fragmentation queues reveals skbs sitting
around, holding conntrack references.
The problem is that since conntrack depends on nf_defrag_ipv6,
nf_defrag_ipv6 will load first. Since nf_defrag_ipv6 loads first its
netns exit hooks run _after_ conntrack's netns exit hook.
Flush all fragment queue SKBs during fqdir_pre_exit() to release
conntrack references before conntrack cleanup runs. Also flush
the queues in timer expiry handlers when they discover fqdir->dead
is set, in case packet sneaks in while we're running the pre_exit
flush.
The commit under Fixes is not exactly the culprit, but I think
previously the timer firing would eventually unblock the spinning
conntrack.

In ip_frag_reinit() we want to move the frag timeout timer into

scheduled it again, and since the timer assumes a ref on frag_queue
we need to acquire one to balance things out.
This is technically racy, we should have acquired the reference
_before_ we touch the timer, it may fire again before we take the ref.
Avoid this entire dance by using mod_timer_pending() which only modifies
the timer if its pending (and which exists since Linux v2.6.30)
Note that this was the only place we ever took a ref on frag_queue
since Eric's conversion to RCU. So we could potentially replace
the whole refcnt field with an atomic flag and a bit more RCU.

selftests: mptcp: pm: ensure unknown flags are ignored
This validates the previous commit: the userspace can set unknown flags
-- the 7th bit is currently unused -- without errors, but only the
supported ones are printed in the endpoints dumps.
The 'Fixes' tag here below is the same as the one from the previous
commit: this patch here is not fixing anything wrong in the selftests,
but it validates the previous fix for an issue introduced by this commit
ID.
Before this patch, the kernel was saving any flags set by the userspace,
even unknown ones. This doesn't cause critical issues because the kernel
is only looking at specific ones. But on the other hand, endpoints dumps
could tell the userspace some recent flags seem to be supported on older
kernel versions.
Instead, ignore all unknown flags when parsing them. By doing that, the
userspace can continue to set unsupported flags, but it has a way to
verify what is supported by the kernel.
Note that it sounds better to continue accepting unsupported flags not
to change the behaviour, but also that eases things on the userspace
side by adding "optional" endpoint types only supported by newer kernel
versions without having to deal with the different kernel versions.
A note for the backports: there will be conflicts in mptcp.h on older
versions not having the mentioned flags, the new line should still be
added last, and the '5' needs to be adapted to have the same value as
the last entry.

bnxt_en: Fix XDP_TX path
For XDP_TX action in bnxt_rx_xdp(), clearing of the event flags is not
correct. __bnxt_poll_work() -> bnxt_rx_pkt() -> bnxt_rx_xdp() may be
looping within NAPI and some event flags may be set in earlier
iterations. In particular, if BNXT_TX_EVENT is set earlier indicating
some XDP_TX packets are ready and pending, it will be cleared if it is
XDP_TX action again. Normally, we will set BNXT_TX_EVENT again when we
successfully call __bnxt_xmit_xdp(). But if the TX ring has no more
room, the flag will not be set. This will cause the TX producer to be
ahead but the driver will not hit the TX doorbell.
For multi-buf XDP_TX, there is no need to clear the event flags and set
BNXT_AGG_EVENT. The BNXT_AGG_EVENT flag should have been set earlier in
bnxt_rx_pkt().
The visible symptom of this is that the RX ring associated with the
TX XDP ring will eventually become empty and all packets will be dropped.
Because this condition will cause the driver to not refill the RX ring
seeing that the TX ring has forever pending XDP_TX packets.
The fix is to only clear BNXT_RX_EVENT when we have successfully
called __bnxt_xmit_xdp().

net/mlx5: Fix double unregister of HCA_PORTS component
Clear hca_devcom_comp in device's private data after unregistering it in

net: phy: RTL8211FVD: Restore disabling of PHY-mode EEE
When support for RTL8211F(D)(I)-VD-CG was introduced in commit bb726b753f75 ("net: phy: realtek: add support for RTL8211F(D)(I)-VD-CG")
the implementation assumed that this PHY model doesn't have the
control register PHYCR2 (Page 0xa43 Address 0x19). This
assumption was based on the differences in CLKOUT configurations
between RTL8211FVD and the remaining RTL8211F PHYs. In the latter
commit 2c67301584f2
("net: phy: realtek: Avoid PHYCR2 access if PHYCR2 not present")
this assumption was expanded to the PHY-mode EEE.
I performed tests on RTL8211FI-VD-CG and confirmed that disabling
PHY-mode EEE works correctly and is uniform with other PHYs
supported by the driver. To validate the correctness,
I contacted Realtek support. Realtek confirmed that PHY-mode EEE on
RTL8211F(D)(I)-VD-CG is configured via Page 0xa43 Address 0x19 bit 5.
Moreover, Realtek informed me that the most recent datasheet
for RTL8211F(D)(I)-VD-CG v1.1 is incomplete and the naming of
control registers is partly inconsistent. The errata I
received from Realtek corrects the naming as follows:
This information confirms that the supposedly missing control register,
PHYCR2, exists in the RTL8211F(D)(I)-VD-CG under the same address and
the same name. It controls widely the same configs as other PHYs from
the RTL8211F series (e.g. PHY-mode EEE). Clock out configuration is an
exception.
Given all this information, restore disabling of the PHY-mode EEE.

This happens because some of the classes have their qdiscs assigned to

Reproducer Steps
(trimmed version of what was sent by zdi-disclosures@trendmicro.com)
1. Maher Azzouzi working with Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative was reported as
the person who found the issue. I requested to get a proper email to add to the
reported-by tag but got no response. For this reason i will credit the person
i exchanged emails with i.e zdi-disclosures@trendmicro.com
2. Neither i nor Victor who did a much more thorough testing was able to
reproduce a UAF with the PoC or other approaches we tried. We were both able to
reproduce a null ptr deref. After exchange with zdi-disclosures@trendmicro.com
they sent a small change to be made to the code to add an extra delay which
was able to simulate the UAF. i.e, this:
qdisc_put(q->classes[i].qdisc);
mdelay(90);
q->classes[i].qdisc = NULL;
I was informed by Thomas Gleixner(tglx@linutronix.de) that adding delays was
acceptable approach for demonstrating the bug, quote:
"Adding such delays is common exploit validation practice"
The equivalent delay could happen "by virt scheduling the vCPU out, SMIs,
NMIs, PREEMPT_RT enabled kernel"
3. I asked the OP to test and report back but got no response and after a
few days gave up and proceeded to submit this fix.

"Core & protocols:
- Replace busylock at the Tx queuing layer with a lockless list.
Resulting in a 300% (4x) improvement on heavy TX workloads, sending
twice the number of packets per second, for half the cpu cycles.
- Allow constantly busy flows to migrate to a more suitable CPU/NIC
queue.
Normally we perform queue re-selection when flow comes out of idle,
but under extreme circumstances the flows may be constantly busy.
Add sysctl to allow periodic rehashing even if it'd risk packet
reordering.
- Optimize the NAPI skb cache, make it larger, use it in more paths.
- Attempt returning Tx skbs to the originating CPU (like we already
did for Rx skbs).
- Various data structure layout and prefetch optimizations from Eric.
- Remove ktime_get() from the recvmsg() fast path, ktime_get() is
sadly quite expensive on recent AMD machines.
- Extend threaded NAPI polling to allow the kthread busy poll for
packets.
- Make MPTCP use Rx backlog processing. This lowers the lock
pressure, improving the Rx performance.
- Support memcg accounting of MPTCP socket memory.
- Allow admin to opt sockets out of global protocol memory accounting
(using a sysctl or BPF-based policy). The global limits are a poor
fit for modern container workloads, where limits are imposed using
cgroups.
- Improve heuristics for when to kick off AF_UNIX garbage collection.
- Allow users to control TCP SACK compression, and default to 33% of
RTT.
- Add tcp_rcvbuf_low_rtt sysctl to let datacenter users avoid
unnecessarily aggressive rcvbuf growth and overshot when the
connection RTT is low.
- Preserve skb metadata space across skb_push / skb_pull operations.
- Support for IPIP encapsulation in the nftables flowtable offload.
- Support appending IP interface information to ICMP messages (RFC
5837).
- Support setting max record size in TLS (RFC 8449).
- Remove taking rtnl_lock from RTM_GETNEIGHTBL and RTM_SETNEIGHTBL.
- Use a dedicated lock (and RCU) in MPLS, instead of rtnl_lock.
- Let users configure the number of write buffers in SMC.
- Add new struct sockaddr_unsized for sockaddr of unknown length,

- Add DPLL phase-adjust-gran pin attribute (and implement it in
zl3073x).
- Refactor xfrm_input lock to reduce contention when NIC offloads
IPsec and performs RSS.
- Add info to devlink params whether the current setting is the
default or a user override. Allow resetting back to default.
- Add standard device stats for PSP crypto offload.
- Leverage DSA frame broadcast to implement simple HSR frame
duplication for a lot of switches without dedicated HSR offload.
- Convert drivers to support dedicated ops for timestamping control,
and away from the direct IOCTL handling. While at it support GET

Merge tag 'rust-6.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ojeda/linux
Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Add support for 'syn'.
Syn is a parsing library for parsing a stream of Rust tokens into a
syntax tree of Rust source code.
Currently this library is geared toward use in Rust procedural
macros, but contains some APIs that may be useful more generally.
'syn' allows us to greatly simplify writing complex macros such as
'pin-init' (Benno has already prepared the 'syn'-based version). We
will use it in the 'macros' crate too.
'syn' is the most downloaded Rust crate (according to crates.io),
and it is also used by the Rust compiler itself. While the amount
of code is substantial, there should not be many updates needed for
these crates, and even if there are, they should not be too big,
e.g. +7k -3k lines across the 3 crates in the last year.
'syn' requires two smaller dependencies: 'quote' and 'proc-macro2'.
I only modified their code to remove a third dependency
('unicode-ident') and to add the SPDX identifiers. The code can be
easily verified to exactly match upstream with the provided
scripts.
They are all licensed under "Apache-2.0 OR MIT", like the other
vendored 'alloc' crate we had for a while.
Please see the merge commit with the cover letter for more context.
- Allow 'unreachable_pub' and 'clippy::disallowed_names' for
doctests.
Examples (i.e. doctests) may want to do things like show public
items and use names such as 'foo'.
Nevertheless, we still try to keep examples as close to real code
as possible (this is part of why running Clippy on doctests is
important for us, e.g. for safety comments, which userspace Rust
does not support yet but we are stricter).
'kernel' crate:
- Replace our custom 'CStr' type with 'core::ffi::CStr'.
Using the standard library type reduces our custom code footprint,
and we retain needed custom functionality through an extension
trait and a new 'fmt!' macro which replaces the previous 'core'
import.
This started in 6.17 and continued in 6.18, and we finally land the
replacement now. This required quite some stamina from Tamir, who
split the changes in steps to prepare for the flag day change here.
- Replace 'kernel::c_str!' with C string literals.
C string literals were added in Rust 1.77, which produce '&CStr's
(the 'core' one), so now we can write:
c"hi"
instead of:
c_str!("hi")
- Add 'num' module for numerical features.
It includes the 'Integer' trait, implemented for all primitive
integer types.
It also includes the 'Bounded' integer wrapping type: an integer
value that requires only the 'N' least significant bits of the
wrapped type to be encoded:
// An unsigned 8-bit integer, of which only the 4 LSBs are used.
let v = Bounded::<u8, 4>::new::<15>();
assert_eq!(v.get(), 15);
'Bounded' is useful to e.g. enforce guarantees when working with
bitfields that have an arbitrary number of bits.
Values can also be constructed from simple non-constant expressions
or, for more complex ones, validated at runtime.
'Bounded' also comes with comparison and arithmetic operations
(with both their backing type and other 'Bounded's with a
compatible backing type), casts to change the backing type,
extending/shrinking and infallible/fallible conversions from/to
primitives as applicable.
It enables to use just an immutable tree reference where
appropriate. The existing fully-featured mutable cursor is renamed
to 'CursorMut'.
kallsyms:
- Fix wrong "big" kernel symbol type read from procfs.
'pin-init' crate:
- A couple minor fixes (Benno asked me to pick these patches up for
him this cycle).
Documentation:
- Quick Start guide: add Debian 13 (Trixie).
Debian Stable is now able to build Linux, since Debian 13 (released
2025-08-09) packages Rust 1.85.0, which is recent enough.
We are planning to propose that the minimum supported Rust version
in Linux follows Debian Stable releases, with Debian 13 being the
first one we upgrade to, i.e. Rust 1.85.
MAINTAINERS:
- Add entry for the new 'num' module.
- Remove Alex as Rust maintainer: he hasn't had the time to
contribute for a few years now, so it is a no-op change in
practice.
And a few other cleanups and improvements"

Pull sched_ext updates from Tejun Heo:
- Improve recovery from misbehaving BPF schedulers.
When a scheduler puts many tasks with varying affinity restrictions
on a shared DSQ, CPUs scanning through tasks they cannot run can
overwhelm the system, causing lockups.
Bypass mode now uses per-CPU DSQs with a load balancer to avoid this,
and hooks into the hardlockup detector to attempt recovery.
Add scx_cpu0 example scheduler to demonstrate this scenario.
- Add lockless peek operation for DSQs to reduce lock contention for
schedulers that need to query queue state during load balancing.
- Allow scx_bpf_reenqueue_local() to be called from anywhere in
preparation for deprecating cpu_acquire/release() callbacks in favor
of generic BPF hooks.
- Prepare for hierarchical scheduler support: add
scx_bpf_task_set_slice() and scx_bpf_task_set_dsq_vtime() kfuncs,
make scx_bpf_dsq_insert*() return bool, and wrap kfunc args in
structs for future aux__prog parameter.
- Implement cgroup_set_idle() callback to notify BPF schedulers when a
cgroup's idle state changes.
- Fix migration tasks being incorrectly downgraded from
stop_sched_class to rt_sched_class across sched_ext enable/disable.
Applied late as the fix is low risk and the bug subtle but needs
stable backporting.
- Various fixes and cleanups including cgroup exit ordering,
SCX_KICK_WAIT reliability, and backward compatibility improvements.

Otherwise, the driver would rely on the kthread.
It is going to be used as the-best-effort approach for an
experimental nbcon netconsole driver, see
In an ideal world, all networking drivers would be fixed first and
the atomic flush would be blocked only in NMI context. But it brings
the question how reliable networking drivers are when the system is
in a bad state. They might block flushing more reliable serial
consoles which are more suitable for serious debugging anyway.
- Allow to use the last 4 bytes of the printk ring buffer.
- Prevent queuing IRQ work and block printk kthreads when consoles are
suspended. Otherwise, they create non-necessary churn or even block
the suspend.
- Release console_lock() between each record in the kthread used for
legacy consoles on RT. It might significantly speed up the boot.
- Release nbcon context between each record in the atomic flush. It

Pull RCU updates from Frederic Weisbecker:
"SRCU:
- Properly handle SRCU readers within IRQ disabled sections in tiny
SRCU
- Preparation to reimplement RCU Tasks Trace on top of SRCU fast:
- Introduce API to expedite a grace period and test it through
rcutorture
- Split srcu-fast in two flavours: SRCU-fast and SRCU-fast-updown.
Both are still targeted toward faster readers (without full
barriers on LOCK and UNLOCK) at the expense of heavier write
side (using full RCU grace period ordering instead of simply
full ordering) as compared to "traditional" non-fast SRCU. But
those srcu-fast flavours are going to be optimized in two
different ways:
- SRCU-fast will become the reimplementation basis for
RCU-TASK-TRACE for consolidation. Since RCU-TASK-TRACE must
be NMI safe, SRCU-fast must be as well.
- SRCU-fast-updown will be needed for uretprobes code in order
to get rid of the read-side memory barriers while still
allowing entering the reader at task level while exiting it
in a timer handler. It is considered semaphore-like in that
it can have different owners between LOCK and UNLOCK.
However it is not NMI-safe.
The actual optimizations are work in progress for the next
cycle. Only the new interfaces are added for now, along with
related torture and scalability test code.
- Create/document/debug/torture new proper initializers for RCU fast:
DEFINE_SRCU_FAST() and init_srcu_struct_fast()
This allows for using right away the proper ordering on the write
side (either full ordering or full RCU grace period ordering)
without waiting for the read side to tell which to use.
This also optimizes the read side altogether with moving flavour
debug checks under debug config and with removing a costly RmW
operation on their first call.
- Make some diagnostic functions tracing safe
Refscale:
- Add performance testing for common context synchronizations
(Preemption, IRQ, Softirq) and per-cpu increments. Those are
relevant comparisons against SRCU-fast read side APIs, especially
as they are planned to synchronize further tracing fast-path code
Miscellanous:
- In order to prepare the layout for nohz_full work deferral to user
exit, the context tracking state must shrink the counter of
transitions to/from RCU not watching. The only possible hazard is
to trigger wrap-around more easily, delaying a bit grace periods
when that happens. This should be a rare event though. Yet add
debugging and torture code to test that assumption
- Fix memory leak on locktorture module
- Annotate accesses in rculist_nulls.h to prevent from KCSAN
warnings. On recent discussions, we also concluded that all those
WRITE_ONCE() and READ_ONCE() on list APIs deserve appropriate
comments. Something to be expected for the next cycle
- Provide a script to apply several configs to several commits with
torture
- Allow torture to reuse a build directory in order to save needless
rebuild time

Pull selinux updates from Paul Moore:
- Improve the granularity of SELinux labeling for memfd files
Currently when creating a memfd file, SELinux treats it the same as
any other tmpfs, or hugetlbfs, file. While simple, the drawback is
that it is not possible to differentiate between memfd and tmpfs
files.
This adds a call to the security_inode_init_security_anon() LSM hook
and wires up SELinux to provide a set of memfd specific access
controls, including the ability to control the execution of memfds.
As usual, the commit message has more information.
- Improve the SELinux AVC lookup performance
Adopt MurmurHash3 for the SELinux AVC hash function instead of the
custom hash function currently used. MurmurHash3 is already used for
the SELinux access vector table so the impact to the code is minimal,
and performance tests have shown improvements in both hash
distribution and latency.
See the commit message for the performance measurments.
- Introduce a Kconfig option for the SELinux AVC bucket/slot size
While we have the ability to grow the number of AVC hash buckets
today, the size of the buckets (slot size) is fixed at 512. This pull

Kconfig knob, CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_AVC_HASH_BITS.

Pull LSM updates from Paul Moore:
- Rework the LSM initialization code
What started as a "quick" patch to enable a notification event once
all of the individual LSMs were initialized, snowballed a bit into a
30+ patch patchset when everything was done. Most of the patches, and
diffstat, is due to splitting out the initialization code into
security/lsm_init.c and cleaning up some of the mess that was there.
While not strictly necessary, it does cleanup the code signficantly,
and hopefully makes the upkeep a bit easier in the future.
Aside from the new LSM_STARTED_ALL notification, these changes also
ensure that individual LSM initcalls are only called when the LSM is
enabled at boot time. There should be a minor reduction in boot times
for those who build multiple LSMs into their kernels, but only enable
a subset at boot.
It is worth mentioning that nothing at present makes use of the
LSM_STARTED_ALL notification, but there is work in progress which is
dependent upon LSM_STARTED_ALL.

ipe: Add AT_EXECVE_CHECK support for script enforcement
This patch adds a new ipe_bprm_creds_for_exec() hook that integrates
with the AT_EXECVE_CHECK mechanism. To enable script enforcement,
interpreters need to incorporate the AT_EXECVE_CHECK flag when
calling execveat() on script files before execution.
When a userspace interpreter calls execveat() with the AT_EXECVE_CHECK
flag, this hook triggers IPE policy evaluation on the script file. The
hook only triggers IPE when bprm->is_check is true, ensuring it's
being called from an AT_EXECVE_CHECK context. It then builds an
evaluation context for an IPE_OP_EXEC operation and invokes IPE policy.
The kernel returns the policy decision to the interpreter, which can
then decide whether to proceed with script execution.
This extends IPE enforcement to indirectly executed scripts, permitting
trusted scripts to execute while denying untrusted ones.

Unfortunately, 528 bytes is kind of a lot for task_struct. This

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"There are quite a few interesting things here, including new hardware
support, new features, some bug fixes and documentation updates. In
addition, there are a usual bunch of minor fixes and cleanups all
over.
In the new hardware support category, there are intel_pstate and
intel_rapl driver updates to support new processors, Panther Lake,
Wildcat Lake, Noval Lake, and Diamond Rapids in the OOB mode, OPP and
bandwidth allocation support in the tegra186 cpufreq driver, and
JH7110S SOC support in dt-platdev cpufreq.
The new features are the PM QoS CPU latency limit for suspend-to-idle,
the netlink support for the energy model management, support for
terminating system suspend via a wakeup event during the sync of file
systems, configurable number of hibernation compression threads, the
runtime PM auto-cleanup macros, and the "poweroff" PM event that is
expected to be used during system shutdown.
Bugs are mostly fixed in cpuidle governors, but there are also fixes
elsewhere, like in the amd-pstate cpufreq driver.
Documentation updates include, but are not limited to, a new doc on
debugging shutdown hangs, cross-referencing fixes and cleanups in the
intel_pstate documentation, and updates of comments in the core
hibernation code.
Specifics:
- Introduce and document a QoS limit on CPU exit latency during
wakeup from suspend-to-idle (Ulf Hansson)

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
"These are the arm64 updates for 6.19.
The biggest part is the Arm MPAM driver under drivers/resctrl/.
There's a patch touching mm/ to handle spurious faults for huge pmd
(similar to the pte version). The corresponding arm64 part allows us
to avoid the TLB maintenance if a (huge) page is reused after a write
fault. There's EFI refactoring to allow runtime services with
preemption enabled and the rest is the usual perf/PMU updates and
several cleanups/typos.
Summary:
Core features:
- Basic Arm MPAM (Memory system resource Partitioning And Monitoring)
driver under drivers/resctrl/ which makes use of the fs/rectrl/ API
Perf and PMU:
- Avoid cycle counter on multi-threaded CPUs
- Extend CSPMU device probing and add additional filtering support
for NVIDIA implementations
- Add support for the PMUs on the NoC S3 interconnect
- Add additional compatible strings for new Cortex and C1 CPUs
- Add support for data source filtering to the SPE driver
- Add support for i.MX8QM and "DB" PMU in the imx PMU driver
Memory managemennt:
- Avoid broadcast TLBI if page reused in write fault
- Elide TLB invalidation if the old PTE was not valid
- Drop redundant cpu_set_*_tcr_t0sz() macros
- Propagate pgtable_alloc() errors outside of __create_pgd_mapping()
- Propagate return value from __change_memory_common()
ACPI and EFI:
- Call EFI runtime services without disabling preemption
- Remove unused ACPI function
Miscellaneous:
- ptrace support to disable streaming on SME-only systems
- Improve sysreg generation to include a 'Prefix' descriptor
- Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__
- Align register dumps in the kselftest zt-test
- Remove some no longer used macros/functions

Pull x86 CPU feature updates from Dave Hansen:
"The biggest thing of note here is Linear Address Space Separation
(LASS). It represents the first time I can think of that the
upper=>kernel/lower=>user address space convention is actually
recognized by the hardware on x86. It ensures that userspace can not
even get the hardware to _start_ page walks for the kernel address
space. This, of course, is a really nice generic side channel defense.
This is really only a down payment on LASS support. There are still
some details to work out in its interaction with EFI calls and
vsyscall emulation. For now, LASS is disabled if either of those
features is compiled in (which is almost always the case).
There's also one straggler commit in here which converts an
under-utilized AMD CPU feature leaf into a generic Linux-defined leaf
so more feature can be packed in there.

net: page_pool: sanitise allocation order
We're going to give more control over rx buffer sizes to user space, and
since we can't always rely on driver validation, let's sanitise it in
page_pool_init() as well. Note that we only need to reject over
MAX_PAGE_ORDER allocations for normal page pools, as current memory
providers don't need to use the buddy allocator and must check the order
on init.i

net: page pool: xa init with destroy on pp init
The free_ptr_ring label path initialises ->dma_mapped xarray but doesn't
destroy it in case of an error. That's not a real problem since init
itself doesn't do anything requiring destruction, but still match it
with xa_destroy() to silence warnings.

Merge tag 'ras_core_for_v6.19_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 RAS updates from Borislav Petkov:
- The second part of the AMD MCA interrupts rework after the
last-minute show-stopper from the last merge window was sorted out.
After this, the AMD MCA deferred errors, thresholding and corrected
errors interrupt handlers use common MCA code and are tightly
integrated into the core MCA code, thereby getting rid of
considerable duplication. All culminating into allowing CMCI error
thresholding storms to be detected at AMD too, using the common
infrastructure
- Add support for two new MCA bank bits on AMD Zen6 which denote
whether the error address logged is a system physical address, which
obviates the need for it to be translated before further error
recovery can be done
