dm-verity: remove support for asynchronous hashes
The support for asynchronous hashes in dm-verity has outlived its
usefulness. It adds significant code complexity and opportunity for
bugs. I don't know of anyone using it in practice. (The original
submitter of the code possibly was, but that was 8 years ago.) Data I
recently collected for en/decryption shows that using off-CPU crypto
"accelerators" is consistently much slower than the CPU
(https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250704070322.20692-1-ebiggers@kernel.org/),
even on CPUs that lack dedicated cryptographic instructions. Similar
results are likely to be seen for hashing.
I already removed support for asynchronous hashes from fsverity two
years ago, and no one ever complained.
Moreover, neither dm-verity, fsverity, nor fscrypt has ever actually
used the asynchronous crypto algorithms in a truly asynchronous manner.
The lack of interest in such optimizations provides further evidence
that it's only the CPU-based crypto that actually matters.
Historically, it's also been common for people to forget to enable the
optimized SHA-256 code, which could contribute to an off-CPU crypto
engine being perceived as more useful than it really is. In 6.16 I
fixed that: the optimized SHA-256 code is now enabled by default.
Therefore, let's drop the support for asynchronous hashes in dm-verity.

module: Rename MAX_PARAM_PREFIX_LEN to __MODULE_NAME_LEN
The maximum module name length (MODULE_NAME_LEN) is somewhat confusingly
defined in terms of the maximum parameter prefix length
(MAX_PARAM_PREFIX_LEN), when in fact the dependency is in the opposite
direction.
This split originates from commit 730b69d22525 ("module: check kernel param
length at compile time, not runtime"). The code needed to use
MODULE_NAME_LEN in moduleparam.h, but because module.h requires
moduleparam.h, this created a circular dependency. It was resolved by
introducing MAX_PARAM_PREFIX_LEN in moduleparam.h and defining
MODULE_NAME_LEN in module.h in terms of MAX_PARAM_PREFIX_LEN.
Rename MAX_PARAM_PREFIX_LEN to __MODULE_NAME_LEN for clarity. This matches
the similar approach of defining MODULE_INFO in module.h and __MODULE_INFO
in moduleparam.h.

tracing: Replace MAX_PARAM_PREFIX_LEN with MODULE_NAME_LEN
Use the MODULE_NAME_LEN definition in module_exists() to obtain the maximum
size of a module name, instead of using MAX_PARAM_PREFIX_LEN. The values
are the same but MODULE_NAME_LEN is more appropriate in this context.
MAX_PARAM_PREFIX_LEN was added in commit 730b69d22525 ("module: check
kernel param length at compile time, not runtime") only to break a circular
dependency between module.h and moduleparam.h, and should mostly be limited
to use in moduleparam.h.

module: Restore the moduleparam prefix length check
The moduleparam code allows modules to provide their own definition of
MODULE_PARAM_PREFIX, instead of using the default KBUILD_MODNAME ".".
Commit 730b69d22525 ("module: check kernel param length at compile time,
not runtime") added a check to ensure the prefix doesn't exceed
MODULE_NAME_LEN, as this is what param_sysfs_builtin() expects.
Later, commit 58f86cc89c33 ("VERIFY_OCTAL_PERMISSIONS: stricter checking
for sysfs perms.") removed this check, but there is no indication this was
intentional.
Since the check is still useful for param_sysfs_builtin() to function
properly, reintroduce it in __module_param_call(), but in a modernized form
using static_assert().
While here, clean up the __module_param_call() comments. In particular,
remove the comment "Default value instead of permissions?", which comes
from commit 9774a1f54f17 ("[PATCH] Compile-time check re world-writeable
module params"). This comment was related to the test variable
__param_perm_check_##name, which was removed in the previously mentioned
commit 58f86cc89c33.

Passing a module name longer than MODULE_NAME_LEN to the delete_module

because a module with a name longer than MODULE_NAME_LEN cannot be loaded

The code will still fully typechecked but the unreachable parts are
discarded by the compiler. This prevents accidental breakage when a certain
kconfig combination was not specifically tested by the developer.
This pattern is already supported to some extend by module.h defining
empty stub functions if CONFIG_MODULES=n.
However some users of module.h work on the structured defined by module.h.
Therefore these structure definitions need to be visible, too.
Many structure members are still gated by specific configuration settings.
The assumption for those is that the code using them will be gated behind
the same configuration setting anyways.

module: move 'struct module_use' to internal.h
The struct was moved to the public header file in commit c8e21ced08b3
("module: fix kdb's illicit use of struct module_use.").
Back then the structure was used outside of the module core.
Nowadays this is not true anymore, so the structure can be made internal.
A port link power management (LPM) policy can be controlled using the
link_power_management_policy sysfs host attribute. However, this
attribute exists also for hosts that do not support LPM and in such
case, attempting to change the LPM policy for the host (port) will fail
with -EOPNOTSUPP.
Introduce the new sysfs link_power_management_supported host attribute
to indicate to the user if a the port and the devices connected to the
port for the host support LPM, which implies that the
link_power_management_policy attribute can be used.
Since checking that a port and its devices support LPM is common between
the new ata_scsi_lpm_supported_show() function and the existing
ata_scsi_lpm_store() function, the new helper ata_scsi_lpm_supported()
is introduced.

ata: libata-scsi: Fix ata_to_sense_error() status handling
Commit 8ae720449fca ("libata: whitespace fixes in ata_to_sense_error()")
inadvertantly added the entry 0x40 (ATA_DRDY) to the stat_table array in
the function ata_to_sense_error(). This entry ties a failed qc which has
a status filed equal to ATA_DRDY to the sense key ILLEGAL REQUEST with
the additional sense code UNALIGNED WRITE COMMAND. This entry will be
used to generate a failed qc sense key and sense code when the qc is
missing sense data and there is no match for the qc error field in the
sense_table array of ata_to_sense_error().
As a result, for a failed qc for which we failed to get sense data (e.g.
read log 10h failed if qc is an NCQ command, or REQUEST SENSE EXT
command failed for the non-ncq case, the user very often end up seeing
the completely misleading "unaligned write command" error, even if qc
was not a write command. E.g.:
Fix this by removing the ATA_DRDY entry from the stat_table array so
that we default to always returning ABORTED COMMAND without any
additional sense code, since we do not know any better. The entry 0x08
(ATA_DRQ) is also removed since signaling ABORTED COMMAND with a parity
error is also misleading (as a parity error would likely be signaled
through a bus error). So for this case, also default to returning
ABORTED COMMAND without any additional sense code. With this, the
previous example error case becomes:
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#17 FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_OK cmd_age=0s
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#17 Sense Key : Aborted Command [current]

I/O error, dev sda, sector 4096 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x80700 phys_seg 1 prio class 0
Together with these fixes, refactor stat_table to make it more readable
by putting the entries comments in front of the entries and using the
defined status bits macros instead of hardcoded values.

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

In a private write transfer, the driver pre-fills the FIFO to work around
the FIFO_EMPTY quirk. However, if an IBIWON event occurs, the hardware

attempts to pre-fill the FIFO again if there is remaining data, but since
the FIFO is already full, this leads to data loss.
Check available space in FIFO to prevent overflow.

- Added Linear temporal logic monitors for RT application
Real-time applications may have design flaws causing them to have
unexpected latency. For example, the applications may raise page
faults, or may be blocked trying to take a mutex without priority
inheritance.
However, while attempting to implement DA monitors for these
real-time rules, deterministic automaton is found to be inappropriate
as the specification language. The automaton is complicated, hard to
understand, and error-prone.
For these cases, linear temporal logic is found to be more suitable.
The LTL is more concise and intuitive.

Pull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Rewind persistent ring buffer on boot
When the persistent ring buffer is being used for live kernel tracing
and the system crashes, the tool that is reading the trace may not
have recorded the data when the system crashed.
Although the persistent ring buffer still has that data, when reading
it after a reboot, it will start where it left off. That is, what was
read will not be accessible.
Instead, on reboot, have the persistent ring buffer restart where the
data starts and this will allow the tooling to recover what was lost
when the crash occurred.
- Remove the ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync() logic
Reading the trace file required stopping writing to the ring buffer
as the trace file is only an iterator and does not consume what it
read. It was originally not safe to read the ring buffer in this mode
and required disabling writing. The ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync()
logic was used to stop each per_cpu ring buffer, call
synchronize_rcu() and then start the iterator. This was used instead
of calling synchronize_rcu() for each per_cpu buffer.
Today, the iterator has been updated where it is safe to read the
trace file while writing to the ring buffer is still occurring. There
is no more need to do this synchronization and it is causing large
delays on machines with many CPUs. Remove this unneeded
synchronization.
- Make static string array a constant in show_irq_str()
Making the string array into a constant has shown to decrease code
text/data size.

Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Keep track of when fgraph_ops are registered or not
Keep accounting of when fgraph_ops are registered as if a fgraph_ops
is registered twice it can mess up the accounting and it will not
work as expected later. Trigger a warning if something registers it
twice as to catch bugs before they are found by things just not
working as expected.
- Make DYNAMIC_FTRACE always enabled for architectures that support it
As static ftrace (where all functions are always traced) is very
expensive and only exists to help architectures support ftrace, do
not make it an option. As soon as an architecture supports
DYNAMIC_FTRACE make it use it. This simplifies the code.
The CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT was added to help simplify the
DYNAMIC_FTRACE work, but now every architecture that implements
DYNAMIC_FTRACE also has HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT set too, making it
redundant with the HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE.
- Make pid_ptr string size match the comment
In print_graph_proc() the pid_ptr string is of size 11, but the
comment says /* sign + log10(MAX_INT) + '\0' */ which is actually 12.

The above sets the variable "PATCH_START" to HEAD~1 and the
OUTPUT_DIR option to "/work/build/urgent".
This is useful because currently the only way to make a slight change
to a config file is by modifying that config file. For one time
changes, this can be annoying. Having a way to do a one time override
from the command line simplifies the workflow.
Temp variables (PATCH_START) will override every temp variable in the
config file, whereas options will act like a normal OVERRIDE option
and will only affect the session they define.
-DBUILD_OUTPUT=/work/git/linux.git
Replaces the default BUILD_OUTPUT option.
'-DBUILD_OUTPUT[2]=/work/git/linux.git'
Only replaces the BUILD_OUTPUT variable for test #2.
- If an option contains itself, just drop it instead of going into an
infinite loop and failing to parse (it doesn't crash, it detects the
recursion after 100 iterations anyway).
Some configs may define a variable with the same name as the option:
ADD_CONFIG := $(ADD_CONFIG)
But if the option doesn't exist, it the above will fail to parse. In
these cases, just ignore evaluating the option inside the definition
of another option if it has the same name.
- Display the BUILD_DIR and OUTPUT_DIR options at the start of every
test
It is useful to know which kernel source and what destination a test
is using when it starts, in case a mistake is made. This makes it
easier to abort the test if the wrong source or destination is being
used instead of waiting until the test completes.
- Add new PATCHCHECK_SKIP option
When testing a series of commits that also includes changes to the
Linux tools directory, it is useless to test the changes in tools as
they may not affect the kernel itself. Doing tests on the kernel for
changes that do not affect the kernel is a waste of time.

Like other HD-audio codec drivers, HD-audio HDMI codec driver was
split to multiple drivers, and now users are forced to choose the
right kconfig items.
For smoother upgrade path, keep the previous CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_HDMI
as the meuconfig, so that the kconfig can be taken over from the
previous config. The all belonging HDMI codec drivers are enabled as
default as long as CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_HDMI is set.
This is only about the default config, and each driver can be still
disabled if user wants to reduce the size, too.
The kconfig for the generic HDMI driver is changed to
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_HDMI_GENERIC along with this action.
Like HD-audio Realtek drivers, Cirrus Logic HD-audio codec driver was
split to multiple drivers, too, and now users are forced to choose the
right kconfig items.
For smoother upgrade path, keep the previous
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CIRRUS as the menuconfig.
The new kconfig CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CS42* are enabled as default, as
long as CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CIRRUS is set, so that the system with
Cirrus codec can keep working.
This is only about the default config, and each driver can be still
disabled if user wants to reduce the size, too.
The recent split of Realtek HD-audio driver forced users to choose the
right Kconfigs, but most users have no idea which ones to enable.
Although the distros tend to enable all of them, individual users may
have their own favorites and miss something needed via the version
upgrade.
For smoother upgrade path from the previous kernel configuration, now
we take the following changes:
- CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_REALTEK (which is a menuconfig) is changed from
bool to tristate again, so that it can take over from the previous
config gracefully.
- CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_ALC* receive "default y", so that they are
enabled as default as long as CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_REALTEK is set.
Those can be still disabled if users want to reduce the size, too.
At least this allows users to run "make oldconfig" and push RETURN
blindly.

spi: spi-mem: Take into account the actual maximum frequency
In order to pick the best variant, the duration of each typical
operation is derived and then compared. These durations are based on the
maximum capabilities of the chips, which are commonly the limiting
factors. However there are other possible limiting pieces, such as the
hardware layout, EMC considerations and in some cases, the SPI controller
itself.
We need to take this into account to further refine our variant choice,
so let's use the actual frequency that will be used for the operation
instead of the theoretical maximum.

spi: spi-mem: Use picoseconds for calculating the op durations
spi_mem_calc_op_duration() is deriving the duration of a specific op, by
multiplying the number of cycles with the time a cycle will last. This
time was measured in nanoseconds, which means at high frequencies the
delta between two frequencies might not be properly catch due to
roundings.
For instance, the Winbond driver has a changing number of dummy cycles
depending on the speed, adding +8 dummy cycles when running at 166MHz
compared to 162MHz.
Both frequencies would lead to using a 6ns delay per cycle for the op
duration computation, whereas in practice there is a small difference
which actually offsets the number of extra dummy cycles on a normal page
read.
Augmenting the precision of the calculation by using picoseconds
prevents selecting a lower frequency if we can do slightly better with
another frequency involving more cycles. As a result, the above
situation leads to comparing cycles of 6024 and 6172 picoseconds which
leads to picking the most efficient variant.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
"A quick summary: perf support for Branch Record Buffer Extensions
(BRBE), typical PMU hardware updates, small additions to MTE for
store-only tag checking and exposing non-address bits to signal
handlers, HAVE_LIVEPATCH enabled on arm64, VMAP_STACK forced on.
There is also a TLBI optimisation on hardware that does not require
break-before-make when changing the user PTEs between contiguous and
non-contiguous.
More details:
Perf and PMU updates:
- Add support for new (v3) Hisilicon SLLC and DDRC PMUs
- Add support for Arm-NI PMU integrations that share interrupts
between clock domains within a given instance
- Allow SPE to be configured with a lower sample period than the
minimum recommendation advertised by PMSIDR_EL1.Interval
- Add suppport for Arm's "Branch Record Buffer Extension" (BRBE)
- Adjust the perf watchdog period according to cpu frequency changes
- Minor driver fixes and cleanups
Hardware features:
- Support for MTE store-only checking (FEAT_MTE_STORE_ONLY)
- Support for reporting the non-address bits during a synchronous MTE
tag check fault (FEAT_MTE_TAGGED_FAR)
- Optimise the TLBI when folding/unfolding contiguous PTEs on
hardware with FEAT_BBM (break-before-make) level 2 and no TLB
conflict aborts
Software features:
- Enable HAVE_LIVEPATCH after implementing arch_stack_walk_reliable()
and using the text-poke API for late module relocations
- Force VMAP_STACK always on and change arm64_efi_rt_init() to use
arch_alloc_vmap_stack() in order to avoid KASAN false positives
ACPI:
- Improve SPCR handling and messaging on systems lacking an SPCR
table
Debug:
- Simplify the debug exception entry path
- Drop redundant DBG_MDSCR_* macros
Kselftests:
- Cleanups and improvements for SME, SVE and FPSIMD tests
Miscellaneous:
- Optimise loop to reduce redundant operations in contpte_ptep_get()
- Remove ISB when resetting POR_EL0 during signal handling
- Mark the kernel as tainted on SEA and SError panic
- Remove redundant gcs_free() call"

- Standardize on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by GCC and
Clang compilers and replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ in both
uapi and non-uapi headers
- Explicitly include <linux/export.h> in architecture and driver files
which contain an EXPORT_SYMBOL() and remove the include from the
files which do not contain the EXPORT_SYMBOL()
- Use the full title of "z/Architecture Principles of Operation" manual
and the name of a section where facility bits are listed
- Use -D__DISABLE_EXPORTS for files in arch/s390/boot to avoid
unnecessary slowing down of the build and confusing external kABI
tools that process symtypes data
- Print additional unrecoverable machine check information to make the
root cause analysis easier
- Move cmpxchg_user_key() handling to uaccess library code, since the
generated code is large anyway and there is no benefit if it is
inlined
- Fix a problem when cmpxchg_user_key() is executing a code with a
non-default key: if a system is IPL-ed with "LOAD NORMAL", and the
previous system used storage keys where the fetch-protection bit was
set for some pages, and the cmpxchg_user_key() is located within such
page, a protection exception happens
- Either the external call or emergency signal order is used to send an
IPI to a remote CPU. Use the external order only, since it is at
least as good and sometimes even better, than the emergency signal
- In case of an early crash the early program check handler prints more
or less random value of the last breaking event address, since it is
not initialized properly. Copy the last breaking event address from
the lowcore to pt_regs to address this
- During STP synchronization check udelay() can not be used, since the
first CPU modifies tod_clock_base and get_tod_clock_monotonic() might
return a non-monotonic time. Instead, busy-loop on other CPUs, while
the the first CPU actually handles the synchronization operation
- When debugging the early kernel boot using QEMU with the -S flag and
GDB attached, skip the decompressor and start directly in kernel
- Rename PAI Crypto event 4210 according to z16 and z17 "z/Architecture
Principles of Operation" manual
- Remove the in-kernel time steering support in favour of the new s390
PTP driver, which allows the kernel clock steered more precisely
- Remove a possible false-positive warning in pte_free_defer(), which
could be triggered in a valid case KVM guest process is initializing

compiler_types: Provide __no_kstack_erase to disable coverage only on Clang
In order to support Clang's stack depth tracking (for Linux's kstack_erase
feature), the coverage sanitizer needed to be disabled for __init (and
__head) section code. Doing this universally (i.e. for GCC too) created
a number of unexpected problems, ranging from changes to inlining logic
to failures to DCE code on earlier GCC versions.
Since this change is only needed for Clang, specialize it so that GCC
doesn't see the change as it isn't needed there (the GCC implementation
of kstack_erase uses a GCC plugin that removes stack depth tracking
instrumentation from __init sections during a late pass in the IR).
Successfully build and boot tested with GCC 12 and Clang 22.
