The arm64 Guarded Control Stack (GCS) feature provides support for
hardware protected stacks of return addresses, intended to provide
hardening against return oriented programming (ROP) attacks and to make
it easier to gather call stacks for applications such as profiling.
When GCS is active a secondary stack called the Guarded Control Stack is
maintained, protected with a memory attribute which means that it can
only be written with specific GCS operations. The current GCS pointer
can not be directly written to by userspace. When a BL is executed the
value stored in LR is also pushed onto the GCS, and when a RET is
executed the top of the GCS is popped and compared to LR with a fault
being raised if the values do not match. GCS operations may only be
performed on GCS pages, a data abort is generated if they are not.
The combination of hardware enforcement and lack of extra instructions
in the function entry and exit paths should result in something which
has less overhead and is more difficult to attack than a purely software
implementation like clang's shadow stacks.
This series implements support for use of GCS by userspace, along with
support for use of GCS within KVM guests. It does not enable use of GCS
by either EL1 or EL2, this will be implemented separately. Executables
are started without GCS and must use a prctl() to enable it, it is
expected that this will be done very early in application execution by
the dynamic linker or other startup code. For dynamic linking this will
be done by checking that everything in the executable is marked as GCS
compatible.
x86 has an equivalent feature called shadow stacks, this series depends
on the x86 patches for generic memory management support for the new
guarded/shadow stack page type and shares APIs as much as possible. As
there has been extensive discussion with the wider community around the
ABI for shadow stacks I have as far as practical kept implementation
decisions close to those for x86, anticipating that review would lead to
similar conclusions in the absence of strong reasoning for divergence.
The main divergence I am concious of is that x86 allows shadow stack to
be enabled and disabled repeatedly, freeing the shadow stack for the
thread whenever disabled, while this implementation keeps the GCS
allocated after disable but refuses to reenable it. This is to avoid
races with things actively walking the GCS during a disable, we do
anticipate that some systems will wish to disable GCS at runtime but are
not aware of any demand for subsequently reenabling it.
x86 uses an arch_prctl() to manage enable and disable, since only x86
and S/390 use arch_prctl() a generic prctl() was proposed[1] as part of a
patch set for the equivalent RISC-V Zicfiss feature which I initially
adopted fairly directly but following review feedback has been revised
quite a bit.
We currently maintain the x86 pattern of implicitly allocating a shadow
stack for threads started with shadow stack enabled, there has been some
discussion of removing this support and requiring the use of clone3()
with explicit allocation of shadow stacks instead. I have no strong
feelings either way, implicit allocation is not really consistent with
anything else we do and creates the potential for errors around thread
exit but on the other hand it is existing ABI on x86 and minimises the
changes needed in userspace code.
There is an open issue with support for CRIU, on x86 this required the
ability to set the GCS mode via ptrace. This series supports
configuring mode bits other than enable/disable via ptrace but it needs
to be confirmed if this is sufficient.
The series depends on support for shadow stacks in clone3(), that series
includes the addition of ARCH_HAS_USER_SHADOW_STACK.

It also depends on the addition of more waitpid() flags to nolibc:

2.42.0
In this series, I'm trying to add 3 missing tests to vm_runtests.sh
which is used to run all the tests in mm suite. These tests weren't
running by CIs. While enabling them and through review feedback, I've
fixed some problems in tests as well. I've found more flakiness in more
tests which I'll be fixing with future patches.
hugetlb-read-hwpoison test is being added where it can only run with
newly added "-d" (destructive) flag only. Not sure why it is failing
again. So once it become stable, we can think of moving it to default
set of tests if it doesn't have any side-effect to them.

This patchset adds KVM selftests for LoongArch system, currently only
some common test cases are supported and pass to run. These testcase
are listed as following:
demand_paging_test
dirty_log_perf_test
dirty_log_test
guest_print_test
hardware_disable_test
kvm_binary_stats_test
kvm_create_max_vcpus
kvm_page_table_test
memslot_modification_stress_test
memslot_perf_test
set_memory_region_test
This patchset originally is posted from zhaotianrui, I continue to work
on his efforts.
---
Changes in v7:
1. Refine code to add LoongArch support in test case
set_memory_region_test.
Changes in v6:
1. Refresh the patch based on latest kernel 6.8-rc1, add LoongArch
support about testcase set_memory_region_test.
2. Add hardware_disable_test test case.
3. Drop modification about macro DEFAULT_GUEST_TEST_MEM, it is problem
of LoongArch binutils, this issue is raised to LoongArch binutils owners.
Changes in v5:
1. In LoongArch kvm self tests, the DEFAULT_GUEST_TEST_MEM could be
0x130000000, it is different from the default value in memstress.h.
So we Move the definition of DEFAULT_GUEST_TEST_MEM into LoongArch
ucall.h, and add 'ifndef' condition for DEFAULT_GUEST_TEST_MEM
in memstress.h.
Changes in v4:
1. Remove the based-on flag, as the LoongArch KVM patch series
have been accepted by Linux kernel, so this can be applied directly
in kernel.
Changes in v3:
1. Improve implementation of LoongArch VM page walk.
2. Add exception handler for LoongArch.
3. Add dirty_log_test, dirty_log_perf_test, guest_print_test
test cases for LoongArch.
4. Add __ASSEMBLER__ macro to distinguish asm file and c file.
5. Move ucall_arch_do_ucall to the header file and make it as
static inline to avoid function calls.
6. Change the DEFAULT_GUEST_TEST_MEM base addr for LoongArch.
Changes in v2:
1. We should use ".balign 4096" to align the assemble code with 4K in
exception.S instead of "align 12".
2. LoongArch only supports 3 or 4 levels page tables, so we remove the
hanlders for 2-levels page table.
3. Remove the DEFAULT_LOONGARCH_GUEST_STACK_VADDR_MIN and use the common
DEFAULT_GUEST_STACK_VADDR_MIN to allocate stack memory in guest.
4. Reorganize the test cases supported by LoongArch.
5. Fix some code comments.
6. Add kvm_binary_stats_test test case into LoongArch KVM selftests.

2.34.1
This patch series introduces a new char misc driver, /dev/ntsync, which is used
to implement Windows NT synchronization primitives.
This was previously submitted as an RFC [1]. Since there were no major changes
requested to the last RFC revision, I've stripped the RFC prefix.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240131021356.10322-1-zfigura@codeweavers.com/
== Background ==
The Wine project emulates the Windows API in user space. One particular part of
that API, namely the NT synchronization primitives, have historically been
implemented via RPC to a dedicated "kernel" process. However, more recent
applications use these APIs more strenuously, and the overhead of RPC has become
a bottleneck.
The NT synchronization APIs are too complex to implement on top of existing
primitives without sacrificing correctness. Certain operations, such as
NtPulseEvent() or the "wait-for-all" mode of NtWaitForMultipleObjects(), require
direct control over the underlying wait queue, and implementing a wait queue
sufficiently robust for Wine in user space is not possible. This proposed
driver, therefore, implements the problematic interfaces directly in the Linux
kernel.
This driver was presented at Linux Plumbers Conference 2023. For those further
interested in the history of synchronization in Wine and past attempts to solve
this problem in user space, a recording of the presentation can be viewed here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjU4nyWyhU8
== Performance ==
The gain in performance varies wildly depending on the application in question
and the user's hardware. For some games NT synchronization is not a bottleneck
and no change can be observed, but for others frame rate improvements of 50 to
150 percent are not atypical. The following table lists frame rate measurements

== Patches ==
The intended semantics of the patches are broadly intended to match those of the
corresponding Windows functions. For those not already familiar with the Windows
functions (or their undocumented behaviour), patch 31/31 provides a detailed
specification, and individual patches also include a brief description of the
API they are implementing.
The patches making use of this driver in Wine can be retrieved or browsed here:
https://repo.or.cz/wine/zf.git/shortlog/refs/heads/ntsync5
== Implementation ==
Some aspects of the implementation may deserve particular comment:
* In the interest of performance, each object is governed only by a single
spinlock. However, NTSYNC_IOC_WAIT_ALL requires that the state of multiple
objects be changed as a single atomic operation. In order to achieve this, we
first take a device-wide lock ("wait_all_lock") any time we are going to lock
more than one object at a time.
The maximum number of objects that can be used in a vectored wait, and
therefore the maximum that can be locked simultaneously, is 64. This number is
NT's own limit.
The acquisition of multiple spinlocks will degrade performance. This is a
conscious choice, however. Wait-for-all is known to be a very rare operation
in practice, especially with counts that approach the maximum, and it is the
intent of the ntsync driver to optimize wait-for-any at the expense of
wait-for-all as much as possible.
* NT mutexes are tied to their threads on an OS level, and the kernel includes
builtin support for "robust" mutexes. In order to keep the ntsync driver
self-contained and avoid touching more code than necessary, it does not hook
into task exit nor use pids.
Instead, the user space emulator is expected to manage thread IDs and pass
them as an argument to any relevant functions; this is the "owner" field of
ntsync_wait_args and ntsync_mutex_args.
When the emulator detects that a thread dies, it should therefore call
NTSYNC_IOC_MUTEX_KILL on any open mutexes.
* ntsync is module-capable mostly because there was nothing preventing it, and
because it aided development. It is not a hard requirement, though.
== Previous versions ==
Changes from v1:
* Fix a broken rebase that stole part of the Kconfig documentation from the
neighbouring entry, per Randy Dunlap.
* Add my email address to copyright and MODULE_AUTHOR lines, per Randy Dunlap.
* Document the reference counting behaviour more clearly, per Greg
Kroah-Hartman.
* Hopefully submit all the patches this time the right way.

2.43.0
Arch maintainers, please ack/review patches.
This is a resend of a series from Frank last year[1]. I worked in Rob's
review comments to unconditionally call unflatten_device_tree() and
fixup/audit calls to of_have_populated_dt() so that behavior doesn't
change.
I need this series so I can add DT based tests in the clk framework.
Either I can merge it through the clk tree once everyone is happy, or
Rob can merge it through the DT tree and provide some branch so I can
base clk patches on it.
Changes from v3 (https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240202195909.3458162-1-sboyd@kernel.org):
* Made OF_UNITTEST depend on OF_EARLY_FLATREE
* Made OF_EARLY_FLATREE depend on absence of arches that don't call
unflatten_device_tree()
* Added of_ prefix to dtb_ prefixed KUnit tests
* Picked up tags
Changes from v2 (https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240130004508.1700335-1-sboyd@kernel.org):
* Reorder patches to have OF changes largely first
* No longer modify initial_boot_params if ACPI=y
* Put arm64 patch back to v1
Changes from v1 (https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240112200750.4062441-1-sboyd@kernel.org):
* x86 patch included
* arm64 knocks out initial dtb if acpi is in use
* keep Kconfig hidden but def_bool enabled otherwise
Changes from Frank's series[1]:
* Add a DTB loaded kunit test
* Make of_have_populated_dt() return false if the DTB isn't from the
bootloader
* Architecture calls made unconditional so that a root node is always
made
Frank Rowand (2):
of: Create of_root if no dtb provided by firmware
of: unittest: treat missing of_root as error instead of fixing up
Stephen Boyd (5):
of: Always unflatten in unflatten_and_copy_device_tree()
um: Unconditionally call unflatten_device_tree()
x86/of: Unconditionally call unflatten_and_copy_device_tree()
arm64: Unconditionally call unflatten_device_tree()
of: Add KUnit test to confirm DTB is loaded

From: Zi Yan <ziy(a)nvidia.com>
Hi all,
File folio supports any order and multi-size THP is upstreamed[1], so both
file and anonymous folios can be >0 order. Currently, split_huge_page()
only splits a huge page to order-0 pages, but splitting to orders higher than
0 might better utilize large folios, if done properly. In addition,
Large Block Sizes in XFS support would benefit from it during truncate[2].
This patchset adds support for splitting a large folio to any lower order
folios. The patchset is on top of mm-everything-2024-02-24-02-40.
In addition to this implementation of split_huge_page_to_list_to_order(),
a possible optimization could be splitting a large folio to arbitrary
smaller folios instead of a single order. As both Hugh and Ryan pointed
out [3,5] that split to a single order might not be optimal, an order-9 folio
might be better split into 1 order-8, 1 order-7, ..., 1 order-1, and 2 order-0
folios, depending on subsequent folio operations. Leave this as future work.
Changelog
===
Since v4[4]
1. Picked up Matthew's order-1 folio support in the page cache patch, so
that XFS Large Block Sizes patchset can avoid additional code churn in
split_huge_page_to_list_to_order().
2. Dropped truncate change patch and corresponding testing code.
3. Removed thp_nr_pages() use in __split_huge_page()
(per David Hildenbrand).
4. Fixed __split_page_owner() (per David Hildenbrand).
5. Changed unmap_folio() to only add TTU_SPLIT_HUGE_PMD if the folios is
pmd mappable (per Ryan Roberts).
6. Moved swapcached folio split warning upfront and return -EINVAL
(per Ryan Roberts).
Since v3
---
1. Excluded shmem folios and pagecache folios without FS support from
splitting to any order (per Hugh Dickins).
2. Allowed splitting anonymous large folio to any lower order since
multi-size THP is upstreamed.
3. Adapted selftests code to new framework.
Since v2
---
1. Fixed an issue in __split_page_owner() introduced during my rebase
Since v1
---
1. Changed split_page_memcg() and split_page_owner() parameter to use order
2. Used folio_test_pmd_mappable() in place of the equivalent code
Details
===
* Patch 1 changes unmap_folio() to only add TTU_SPLIT_HUGE_PMD if the
folio is pmd mappable.
* Patch 2 adds support for order-1 page cache folio.
* Patch 3 changes split_page_memcg() to use order instead of nr_pages.
* Patch 4 changes split_page_owner() to use order instead of nr_pages.
* Patch 5 and 6 add new_order parameter split_page_memcg() and
split_page_owner() and prepare for upcoming changes.
* Patch 7 adds split_huge_page_to_list_to_order() to split a huge page
to any lower order. The original split_huge_page_to_list() calls
split_huge_page_to_list_to_order() with new_order = 0.
* Patch 8 adds a test API to debugfs and test cases in
split_huge_page_test selftests.
