If FEAT_MTE_TAGGED_FAR (Armv8.9) is supported, bits 63:60 of the fault address
are preserved in response to synchronous tag check faults (SEGV_MTESERR).
This patch modifies below to support this feature:
- Use the original FAR_EL1 value when an MTE tag check fault occurs,
if ARM64_MTE_FAR is supported so that not only logical tag
(bits 59:56) but also address tag (bits 63:60] being reported too.
- Add HWCAP for mtefar to let user know bits 63:60 includes
address tag information when when FEAT_MTE_TAGGED_FAR is supported.
Applications that require this information should install
a signal handler with the SA_EXPOSE_TAGBITS flag.
While this introduces a minor ABI change,
most applications do not set this flag and therefore will not be affected.

The kernel currently alway prints:
"Use ACPI SPCR as default console: No/Yes "
even on systems that lack an SPCR table. This can
mislead users into thinking the SPCR table exists
on the machines without SPCR.
With this change, the "Yes" is only printed if
the SPCR table is present, parsed and !param_acpi_nospcr.
This avoids user confusion on SPCR-less systems.

The Break-Before-Make cpu feature supports multiple levels (levels 0-2),
and this commit adds a dedicated BBML2 cpufeature to test against
support for.
To support BBML2 in as wide a range of contexts as we can, we want not
only the architectural guarantees that BBML2 makes, but additionally
want BBML2 to not create TLB conflict aborts. Not causing aborts avoids
us having to prove that no recursive faults can be induced in any path
that uses BBML2, allowing its use for arbitrary kernel mappings.
This feature builds on the previous ARM64_CPUCAP_EARLY_LOCAL_CPU_FEATURE,
as all early cpus must support BBML2 for us to enable it (and any later
cpus must also support it to be onlined).
Not onlining late cpus that do not support BBML2 is unavoidable, as we
might currently be using BBML2 semantics for kernel memory regions. This
could cause faults in the late cpus, and would be difficult to unwind,
so let us avoid the case altogether.

For system-wide capabilities, the kernel has the SCOPE_SYSTEM type. Such
capabilities are checked once the SMP boot has completed using the
sanitised ID registers. However, there is a need for a new capability
type similar in scope to the system one but with checking performed
locally on each CPU during boot (e.g. based on MIDR_EL1 which is not a
sanitised register).
Introduce ARM64_CPUCAP_MATCH_ALL_EARLY_CPUS which, together with
ARM64_CPUCAP_SCOPE_LOCAL_CPU, ensures that such capability is enabled
only if all early CPUs have it. For ease of use, define
ARM64_CPUCAP_EARLY_LOCAL_CPU_FEATURE which combines SCOPE_LOCAL_CPU,
PERMITTED_FOR_LATE_CPUS and MATCH_ALL_EARLY_CPUS.

Add arch_stack_walk_reliable(), which will be used during kernel live
patching to detect when threads have completed executing old versions of
functions.
Note that arch_stack_walk_reliable() only needs to guarantee that it
returns an error code when it cannot provide a reliable stacktrace. It
is not required to provide a reliable stacktrace in all scenarios so
long as it returns said error code.
At present we can only reliably unwind up to an exception boundary. In
future we should be able to improve this with additional data from the
compiler (e.g. sframe).

To enable late module patching, livepatch modules need to be able to
apply some of their relocations well after being loaded. In this
scenario however, the livepatch module text and data is already RX-only,
so special treatment is needed to make the late relocations possible. To
do this, use the text-poking API for these late relocations.
This patch is partially based off commit 88fc078a7a ("x86/module: Use
text_poke() for late relocations").

LLD will occasionally error out with a '__init_end does not converge'
error if INIT_IDMAP_DIR_SIZE is defined in terms of _end, as this
results in a circular dependency.
Counter this by dimensioning the initial IDMAP page tables based on a
new boundary marker 'kimage_limit', and define it such that its value
should not change as a result of the initdata segment being pushed over
a 64k segment boundary due to changes in INIT_IDMAP_DIR_SIZE, provided
that its value doesn't change by more than 2M between linker passes.

simplifies the act of creating a pte which addresses the first page in a
folio and reduces the amount of plumbing which architecture must
implement to provide this.
- The 8 patch series "Misc folio patches for 6.16" from Matthew Wilcox
is a shower of largely unrelated folio infrastructure changes which
clean things up and better prepare us for future work.
- The 3 patch series "memory,x86,acpi: hotplug memory alignment
advisement" from Gregory Price adds early-init code to prevent x86 from
leaving physical memory unused when physical address regions are not
aligned to memory block size.
- The 2 patch series "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive
compaction" from Michal Clapinski provides some tuning of the (sadly,
hard-coded (more sadly, not auto-tuned)) thresholds for our invokation
of proactive compaction. In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest
VM's memory consumption was dramatic.
- The 8 patch series "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing
code" from Kemeng Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency
improvement to this part of our swap handling code.
- The 6 patch series "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API"
from Dmitry Levin adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls
arguments. At this time we can alter only "system call information that
are used by strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number,
syscall arguments, and syscall return value.
This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM"
branch, but I goofed.
- The 3 patch series "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report
guard regions" from Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the
PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more
efficiently get at the info about guard regions.
- The 2 patch series "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()"
from Gavin Shan implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected
because validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error.
- The 3 patch series "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode()
rewrite" from David Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into
the current decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in
favor of using more current facilities.
- The 3 patch series "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64"
from Anshuman Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the
pte dumping code. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table
Descriptors are enabled for ARM.
- The 12 patch series "Always call constructor for kernel page tables"
from Kevin Brodsky "ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for
kernel pgtables, as it already is for user pgtables". This permits the
addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks to protect page
tables". This change does result in various architectures performing
unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where it is anticipated to occur.
- The 9 patch series "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and
mmap" from Alice Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM
structures.
- The 3 patch series "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges"
from Lorenzo Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities
which we've been missing for 15 years.
- The 4 patch series "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED
and MADV_FREE" from SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB
flushing. Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec,
we batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost
was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to
load this particular operation.
- The 6 patch series "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation
counts" from Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node
preallocation. stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit
percentages and the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was
dramaticelly reduced.
- The 3 patch series "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from
Baoquan He removes a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when
reading the code.
- The 3 patch series ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in
weighted interleave" from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave
policy in the memory management subsystem by improving sysfs handling,
fixing memory leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory
hotplug support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to
hit.
- The 7 patch series "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups
including tiered memory" from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota
goal metrics which eliminate the manual tuning which is required when
utilizing DAMON for memory tiering.
- The 5 patch series "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from
Baoquan He provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which
Baoquan found via code inspection.
- The 2 patch series "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion"
from Gregory Price "changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective
during demotion when possible". because "presently, reclaim explicitly
ignores cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset
settings to violated." "This is useful for isolating workloads on a
multi-tenant system from certain classes of memory more consistently."
- The 2 patch series ""Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove
unnecessary folio pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and
efficiency gains in in the huge page splitting and migrating code.
- The 3 patch series "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang
creates a slab cache for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory
utilization.
- The 4 patch series "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and
lru_gen" from Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness="
argument for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen. This directs proactive
reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios rather than file-backed folios.
- The 17 patch series "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike
Rapoport is the first step on the path to permitting the kernel to
maintain existing VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based
kexec. At this time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved.
- The 7 patch series "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David
Woodhouse provides and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range.
By skipping ranges of invalid pfns.
- The 2 patch series "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to
one NUMA node via cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless
VMA scanning when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode. Dramatic
performance benefits were seen in some real world cases.
- The 2 patch series "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for
jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank Garg addresses a warning which occurs
during memory compaction when using JFS.
- The 4 patch series "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication
logic to mm" from Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c
into the more appropriate mm/vma.c.
- The 6 patch series "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from
Kairui Song provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the
folio_index() function.
- The 2 patch series "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal
Moola does that.
- The 8 patch series "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from
Waiman Long addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by
the test_memcontrol selftest.
- The 3 patch series "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare
hook" from Lorenzo Stoakes commences the deprecation of
file_operations.mmap() in favor of the new
file_operations.mmap_prepare(). The latter is more restrictive and
prevents drivers from messing with things in ways which, amongst other
problems, may defeat VMA merging.
- The 4 patch series "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from
Shakeel Butt decouples the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's
one. This is a step along the way to making memcg and objcg charging
NMI-safe, which is a BPF requirement.
- The 6 patch series "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code,
tests, and documents" from SeongJae Park is "yet another batch of

Merge tag 'mm-stable-2025-05-31-14-50' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- "Add folio_mk_pte()" from Matthew Wilcox simplifies the act of
creating a pte which addresses the first page in a folio and reduces
the amount of plumbing which architecture must implement to provide
this.
- "Misc folio patches for 6.16" from Matthew Wilcox is a shower of
largely unrelated folio infrastructure changes which clean things up
and better prepare us for future work.
- "memory,x86,acpi: hotplug memory alignment advisement" from Gregory
Price adds early-init code to prevent x86 from leaving physical
memory unused when physical address regions are not aligned to memory
block size.
- "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive compaction" from
Michal Clapinski provides some tuning of the (sadly, hard-coded (more
sadly, not auto-tuned)) thresholds for our invokation of proactive
compaction. In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest VM's
memory consumption was dramatic.
- "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing code" from Kemeng
Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency improvement to
this part of our swap handling code.
- "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API" from Dmitry Levin
adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls arguments. At this
time we can alter only "system call information that are used by
strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number, syscall
arguments, and syscall return value.
This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM"
branch, but I goofed.
- "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions" from
Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl
against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more efficiently get
at the info about guard regions.
- "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()" from Gavin Shan
implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected because
validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error.
- "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode() rewrite" from David
Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into the current
decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in favor of
using more current facilities.
- "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64" from Anshuman
Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the pte dumping
code. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table Descriptors are
enabled for ARM.
- "Always call constructor for kernel page tables" from Kevin Brodsky
ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for kernel pgtables, as
it already is for user pgtables.
This permits the addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks
to protect page tables". This change does result in various
architectures performing unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where
it is anticipated to occur.
- "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap" from Alice
Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM structures.
- "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges" from Lorenzo
Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities which we've
been missing for 15 years.
- "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE" from
SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB flushing.
Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec, we
batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost
was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to
load this particular operation.
- "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation counts" from
Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node
preallocation.
stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit percentages and
the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was dramaticelly
reduced.
- "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He removes
a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when reading the code.
- ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave"
from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave policy in the memory
management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory
leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug
support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to hit.
- "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups including tiered memory"
from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota goal metrics which
eliminate the manual tuning which is required when utilizing DAMON
for memory tiering.
- "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He
provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which Baoquan
found via code inspection.
- "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion" from Gregory Price
changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when
possible. because presently, reclaim explicitly ignores
cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset
settings to violated.
This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from
certain classes of memory more consistently.
- "Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove unnecessary folio
pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and efficiency gains
in in the huge page splitting and migrating code.
- "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache
for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization.
- "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen" from
Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness=" argument
for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen.
This directs proactive reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios
rather than file-backed folios.
- "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike Rapoport is the
first step on the path to permitting the kernel to maintain existing
VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based kexec. At this
time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved.
- "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David Woodhouse provides
and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range. By skipping
ranges of invalid pfns.
- "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via
cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless VMA scanning
when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode.
Dramatic performance benefits were seen in some real world cases.
- "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank
Garg addresses a warning which occurs during memory compaction when
using JFS.
- "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication logic to mm" from
Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c into the more
appropriate mm/vma.c.
- "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from Kairui Song
provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the folio_index()
function.
- "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal Moola does that.
- "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from Waiman Long
addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by the
test_memcontrol selftest.
- "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare hook" from Lorenzo
Stoakes commences the deprecation of file_operations.mmap() in favor
of the new file_operations.mmap_prepare().
The latter is more restrictive and prevents drivers from messing with
things in ways which, amongst other problems, may defeat VMA merging.
- "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from Shakeel Butt decouples
the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's one.
This is a step along the way to making memcg and objcg charging
NMI-safe, which is a BPF requirement.
- "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code, tests, and
documents" from SeongJae Park is yet another batch of miscellaneous
DAMON changes. Fix and improve minor problems in code, tests and
documents.
- "memcg: make memcg stats irq safe" from Shakeel Butt converts memcg
stats to be irq safe. Another step along the way to making memcg
charging and stats updates NMI-safe, a BPF requirement.
- "Let unmap_hugepage_range() and several related functions take folio

Merge tag 'efi-next-for-v6.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/efi/efi
Pull EFI updates from Ard Biesheuvel:
"Not a lot going on in the EFI tree this cycle. The only thing that
stands out is the new support for SBAT metadata, which was a bit
contentious when it was first proposed, because in the initial
incarnation, it would have required us to maintain a revocation index,
and bump it each time a vulnerability affecting UEFI secure boot got
fixed. This was shot down for obvious reasons.
This time, only the changes needed to emit the SBAT section into the
PE/COFF image are being carried upstream, and it is up to the distros
to decide what to put in there when creating and signing the build.
This only has the EFI zboot bits (which the distros will be using for
arm64); the x86 bzImage changes should be arriving next cycle,
presumably via the -tip tree.
Summary:
- Add support for emitting a .sbat section into the EFI zboot image,
so that downstreams can easily include revocation metadata in the
signed EFI images
- Align PE symbolic constant names with other projects
- Bug fix for the efi_test module
- Log the physical address and size of the EFI memory map when

* Add large stage-2 mapping (THP) support for non-protected guests when

* Significant changes to the way pKVM tracks ownership of pages,

large series, including support for private page tables (managed by the
TDX module and mirrored in KVM for efficiency), forwarding some TDVMCALLs
to userspace, and handling several special VM exits from the TDX module.

On AmpereOne AC04, updates to HCR_EL2 can rarely corrupt simultaneous
translations for data addresses initiated by load/store instructions.
Only instruction initiated translations are vulnerable, not translations
from prefetches for example. A DSB before the store to HCR_EL2 is
sufficient to prevent older instructions from hitting the window for
corruption, and an ISB after is sufficient to prevent younger
instructions from hitting the window for corruption.

Accessing BSS will no longer be permitted from the startup code in
arch/arm64/kernel/pi, as some of it executes before BSS is cleared.
Clearing BSS earlier would involve managing cache coherency explicitly
in software, which is a hassle we prefer to avoid.
So move some variables that are assigned by the startup code out of BSS
and into .data.

init_pgdir[] is only referenced from the startup code, but lives after
BSS in the linker map. Before tightening the rules about accessing BSS
from startup code, move init_pgdir[] into the __pi_ namespace, so it
does not need to be exported explicitly.
For symmetry, do the same with init_idmap_pgdir[], although it lives
before BSS.

mov_q cannot really move PIE_E[0|1] macros into a general purpose register
as expected if those macro constants contain some 128 bit layout elements,
that are required for D128 page tables. The primary issue is that for D128,
PIE_E[0|1] are defined in terms of 128-bit types with shifting and masking,
which the assembler can't accommodate.
Instead pre-calculate these PIRE0_EL1/PIR_EL1 constants into asm-offsets.h
based PIE_E0_ASM/PIE_E1_ASM which can then be used in arch/arm64/mm/proc.S.
While here also drop PTE_MAYBE_NG/PTE_MAYBE_SHARED assembly overrides which
are not required any longer, as the compiler toolchains are smart enough to
compute both the PIE_[E0|E1]_ASM constants in all scenarios.

KVM exposes the sanitised ID registers to guests. Currently these ignore
the ID_AA64PFR1_EL1.MTE_frac field, meaning guests always see a value of
zero.
This is a problem for platforms without the MTE_ASYNC feature where
ID_AA64PFR1_EL1.MTE==0x2 and ID_AA64PFR1_EL1.MTE_frac==0xf. KVM forces
MTE_frac to zero, meaning the guest believes MTE_ASYNC is supported, when
no async fault will ever occur.
Before KVM can fix this, the architecture needs to sanitise the ID
register field for MTE_frac.
Linux itself does not use MTE_frac field and just assumes MTE async faults
can be generated if MTE is supported.

Define ptdesc_t type which describes the basic page table descriptor
layout on arm64 platform. Subsequently all level specific pxxval_t
descriptors are derived from ptdesc_t thus establishing a common original
format, which can also be appropriate for page table entries, masks and
protection values etc which are used at all page table levels.

Currently, when ARM64 displays CPU information, every call to c_show()
assembles all CPU information. However, as the number of CPUs increases,
this can lead to insufficient buffer space due to excessive assembly in
a single call, causing repeated expansion and multiple calls to c_show().
To prevent this invalid c_show() call, only one CPU's information is

Because the kernel can't tolerate page faults for kernel mappings, when
setting a valid, kernel space pte (or pmd/pud/p4d/pgd), it emits a
dsb(ishst) to ensure that the store to the pgtable is observed by the
table walker immediately. Additionally it emits an isb() to ensure that
any already speculatively determined invalid mapping fault gets
canceled.
We can improve the performance of vmalloc operations by batching these
barriers until the end of a set of entry updates.
arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode() and arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode() provide the
required hooks.
vmalloc improves by up to 30% as a result.
Two new TIF_ flags are created; TIF_LAZY_MMU tells us if the task is in
the lazy mode and can therefore defer any barriers until exit from the
lazy mode. TIF_LAZY_MMU_PENDING is used to remember if any pte operation
was performed while in the lazy mode that required barriers. Then when
leaving lazy mode, if that flag is set, we emit the barriers.
Since arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode() and arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode() are used
for both user and kernel mappings, we need the second flag to avoid
emitting barriers unnecessarily if only user mappings were updated.
