This series adds support for tests that use multiple devices, and adds
one new test, vfio_pci_device_init_perf_test, which measures parallel
device initialization time to demonstrate the improvement from commit
e908f58b6beb ("vfio/pci: Separate SR-IOV VF dev_set").
This series also breaks apart the monolithic vfio_util.h and
vfio_pci_device.c into separate files, to account for all the new code.
This required quite a bit of code motion so the diffstat looks large.
The final layout is more granular and provides a better separation of
the IOMMU code from the device code.
Final layout:
C files:
- tools/testing/selftests/vfio/lib/libvfio.c
- tools/testing/selftests/vfio/lib/iommu.c
- tools/testing/selftests/vfio/lib/iova_allocator.c
- tools/testing/selftests/vfio/lib/vfio_pci_device.c
- tools/testing/selftests/vfio/lib/vfio_pci_driver.c
H files:
- tools/testing/selftests/vfio/lib/include/libvfio.h
- tools/testing/selftests/vfio/lib/include/libvfio/assert.h
- tools/testing/selftests/vfio/lib/include/libvfio/iommu.h
- tools/testing/selftests/vfio/lib/include/libvfio/iova_allocator.h
- tools/testing/selftests/vfio/lib/include/libvfio/vfio_pci_device.h
- tools/testing/selftests/vfio/lib/include/libvfio/vfio_pci_driver.h
Notably, vfio_util.h is now gone and replaced with libvfio.h.
This series is based on vfio/next plus Alex Mastro's series to add the
IOVA allocator [1]. It should apply cleanly to vfio/next once Alex's
series makes its way to vfio/next via Linus' tree.

v4:
- Collect Reviewed-bys from Raghavendra
- Check iommu is not null in vfio_pci_device_init() (Raghavendra)
- Do not include any fixes for the kernel-test-robot errors on riscv.
These issues also exist when building the VFIO selftests without this
series using kernel-test-robot's cross compiler. The issue appears to
be that the cross compiler used by ktr does not have libc, which the
selftests depend on.

- Fix Makefile accumulate vs. assignment (Alex Mastro)
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20251112192232.442761-1-dmatlack@google.com/
- Require tests to call iommu_init() and manage struct iommu objects
rather than implicitly doing it in vfio_pci_device_init().
- Drop all the device wrappers for IOMMU methods and require tests to
interact with the iommu_*() helper functions directly.
- Add a commit to eliminate INVALID_IOVA. This is a simple cleanup I've
been meaning to make.
- Upgrade some driver logging to error (Raghavendra)
- Remove plurality from helper function that fetches BDF from
environment variable (Raghavendra)
- Fix cleanup.sh to only delete the device directory when cleaning up
all devices (Raghavendra)

2.52.0.487.g5c8c507ade-goog
The exception vector constants CP_VECTOR, HV_VECTOR, VC_VECTOR, and
SX_VECTOR are used in ex_str(), but the header that defines
them is not included. Other exception vectors are picked up through
indirect includes, but these four are not, which leads to unresolved
identifiers during selftest builds.
lib/x86/processor.c: In function ‘ex_str’:
lib/x86/processor.c:52:17: error: ‘CP_VECTOR’ undeclared
lib/x86/processor.c:53:17: error: ‘HV_VECTOR’ undeclared
lib/x86/processor.c:54:17: error: ‘VC_VECTOR’ undeclared
lib/x86/processor.c:55:17: error: ‘SX_VECTOR’ undeclared
These vector definitions live in:
tools/arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h
Add the missing include the userspace API exception vector constants.

2.51.1
This patchset introduces target resume capability to netconsole allowing
it to recover targets when underlying low-level interface comes back
online.
The patchset starts by refactoring netconsole state representation in
order to allow representing deactivated targets (targets that are
disabled due to interfaces going down).
It then modifies netconsole to handle NETDEV_UP events for such targets
and setups netpoll. Targets are matched with incoming interfaces
depending on how they were initially bound in netconsole (by mac or
interface name).
The patchset includes a selftest that validates netconsole target state
transitions and that target is functional after resumed.

This series fixes two issues in the bonding 802.3ad implementation
related to port state management and churn detection:
1. When disabling a port, we need to set AD_RX_PORT_DISABLED to ensure
proper state machine transitions, preventing ports from getting stuck
in AD_RX_CURRENT state.
2. The ad_churn_machine implementation is restructured to follow IEEE
802.1AX-2014 specifications correctly. The current implementation has
several issues: it doesn't transition to "none" state immediately when
synchronization is achieved, and can get stuck in churned state in
multi-aggregator scenarios.
3. Selftests are enhanced to validate both mux state machine and churn
state logic under aggregator selection and failover scenarios.
These changes ensure proper LACP state machine behavior and fix issues
where ports could remain in incorrect states during aggregator failover.

2.50.1
v23:
fixed some of the "CHECK:" reported on checkpatch --strict.
Accepted Joel's suggestion for kselftest's Makefile.
CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI is enabled when zicfiss, zicfilp and fcf-protection
are all present in toolchain
v22: fixing build error due to -march=zicfiss being picked in gcc-13 and above
but not actually doing any codegen or recognizing instruction for zicfiss.
Change in v22 makes dependence on `-fcf-protection=full` compiler flag to
ensure that toolchain has support and then only CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI will be
visible in menuconfig.
v21: fixed build errors.
Basics and overview
===================
Software with larger attack surfaces (e.g. network facing apps like databases,
browsers or apps relying on browser runtimes) suffer from memory corruption
issues which can be utilized by attackers to bend control flow of the program
to eventually gain control (by making their payload executable). Attackers are
able to perform such attacks by leveraging call-sites which rely on indirect
calls or return sites which rely on obtaining return address from stack memory.
To mitigate such attacks, risc-v extension zicfilp enforces that all indirect
calls must land on a landing pad instruction `lpad` else cpu will raise software
check exception (a new cpu exception cause code on riscv).
Similarly for return flow, risc-v extension zicfiss extends architecture with
- `sspush` instruction to push return address on a shadow stack
- `sspopchk` instruction to pop return address from shadow stack
and compare with input operand (i.e. return address on stack)
- `sspopchk` to raise software check exception if comparision above
was a mismatch
- Protection mechanism using which shadow stack is not writeable via
regular store instructions
More information an details can be found at extensions github repo [1].
Equivalent to landing pad (zicfilp) on x86 is `ENDBRANCH` instruction in Intel
CET [3] and branch target identification (BTI) [4] on arm.
Similarly x86's Intel CET has shadow stack [5] and arm64 has guarded control
stack (GCS) [6] which are very similar to risc-v's zicfiss shadow stack.
x86 and arm64 support for user mode shadow stack is already in mainline.
Kernel awareness for user control flow integrity
================================================
This series picks up Samuel Holland's envcfg changes [2] as well. So if those are
being applied independently, they should be removed from this series.
Enabling:
In order to maintain compatibility and not break anything in user mode, kernel
doesn't enable control flow integrity cpu extensions on binary by default.
Instead exposes a prctl interface to enable, disable and lock the shadow stack
or landing pad feature for a task. This allows userspace (loader) to enumerate
if all objects in its address space are compiled with shadow stack and landing
pad support and accordingly enable the feature. Additionally if a subsequent
`dlopen` happens on a library, user mode can take a decision again to disable
the feature (if incoming library is not compiled with support) OR terminate the
task (if user mode policy is strict to have all objects in address space to be
compiled with control flow integirty cpu feature). prctl to enable shadow stack
results in allocating shadow stack from virtual memory and activating for user
address space. x86 and arm64 are also following same direction due to similar
reason(s).
clone/fork:
On clone and fork, cfi state for task is inherited by child. Shadow stack is
part of virtual memory and is a writeable memory from kernel perspective
(writeable via a restricted set of instructions aka shadow stack instructions)
Thus kernel changes ensure that this memory is converted into read-only when
fork/clone happens and COWed when fault is taken due to sspush, sspopchk or
ssamoswap. In case `CLONE_VM` is specified and shadow stack is to be enabled,
kernel will automatically allocate a shadow stack for that clone call.
map_shadow_stack:
x86 introduced `map_shadow_stack` system call to allow user space to explicitly
map shadow stack memory in its address space. It is useful to allocate shadow
for different contexts managed by a single thread (green threads or contexts)
risc-v implements this system call as well.
signal management:
If shadow stack is enabled for a task, kernel performs an asynchronous control
flow diversion to deliver the signal and eventually expects userspace to issue
sigreturn so that original execution can be resumed. Even though resume context
is prepared by kernel, it is in user space memory and is subject to memory
corruption and corruption bugs can be utilized by attacker in this race window
to perform arbitrary sigreturn and eventually bypass cfi mechanism.
Another issue is how to ensure that cfi related state on sigcontext area is not
trampled by legacy apps or apps compiled with old kernel headers.
In order to mitigate control-flow hijacting, kernel prepares a token and place
it on shadow stack before signal delivery and places address of token in
sigcontext structure. During sigreturn, kernel obtains address of token from
sigcontext struture, reads token from shadow stack and validates it and only
then allow sigreturn to succeed. Compatiblity issue is solved by adopting
dynamic sigcontext management introduced for vector extension. This series
re-factor the code little bit to allow future sigcontext management easy (as
proposed by Andy Chiu from SiFive)
config and compilation:
Introduce a new risc-v config option `CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI`. Selecting this
config option picks the kernel support for user control flow integrity. This
optin is presented only if toolchain has shadow stack and landing pad support.
And is on purpose guarded by toolchain support. Reason being that eventually
vDSO also needs to be compiled in with shadow stack and landing pad support.
vDSO compile patches are not included as of now because landing pad labeling
scheme is yet to settle for usermode runtime.
To get more information on kernel interactions with respect to
zicfilp and zicfiss, patch series adds documentation for
`zicfilp` and `zicfiss` in following:

changelog
---------
v23:
- fixed some of the "CHECK:" reported on checkpatch --strict.
- Accepted Joel's suggestion for kselftest's Makefile.
- CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI is enabled when zicfiss, zicfilp and fcf-protection
are all present in toolchain
v22:
- CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI was by default "n". With dual vdso support it is
default "y" (if toolchain supports it). Fixing build error due to
"-march=zicfiss" being picked in gcc-13 partially. gcc-13 only recognizes the
flag but not actually doing any codegen or recognizing instruction for zicfiss.
Change in v22 makes dependence on `-fcf-protection=full` compiler flag to
ensure that toolchain has support and then only CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI will be
visible in menuconfig.
- picked up tags and some cosmetic changes in commit message for dual vdso
patch.
v21:
- Fixing build errors due to changes in arch/riscv/include/asm/vdso.h
Using #ifdef instead of IS_ENABLED in arch/riscv/include/asm/vdso.h
vdso-cfi-offsets.h should be included only when CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI
is selected.
v20:
- rebased on v6.18-rc1.
- Added two vDSO support. If `CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI` is selected
two vDSOs are compiled (one for hardware prior to RVA23 and one
for RVA23 onwards). Kernel exposes RVA23 vDSO if hardware/cpu
implements zimop else exposes existing vDSO to userspace.
- default selection for `CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI` is "Yes".
- replaced "__ASSEMBLY__" with "__ASSEMBLER__"
v19:
- riscv_nousercfi was `int`. changed it to unsigned long.
Thanks to Alex Ghiti for reporting it. It was a bug.
- ELP is cleared on trap entry only when CONFIG_64BIT.
- restore ssp back on return to usermode was being done
before `riscv_v_context_nesting_end` on trap exit path.
If kernel shadow stack were enabled this would result in
kernel operating on user shadow stack and panic (as I found
in my testing of kcfi patch series). So fixed that.
v18:
- rebased on 6.16-rc1
- uprobe handling clears ELP in sstatus image in pt_regs
- vdso was missing shadow stack elf note for object files.
added that. Additional asm file for vdso needed the elf marker
flag. toolchain should complain if `-fcf-protection=full` and
marker is missing for object generated from asm file. Asked
toolchain folks to fix this. Although no reason to gate the merge
on that.
- Split up compile options for march and fcf-protection in vdso
Makefile
- CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI option is moved under "Kernel features" menu
Added `arch/riscv/configs/hardening.config` fragment which selects
CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI
v17:
- fixed warnings due to empty macros in usercfi.h (reported by alexg)
- fixed prefixes in commit titles reported by alexg
- took below uprobe with fcfi v2 patch from Zong Li and squashed it with
"riscv/traps: Introduce software check exception and uprobe handling"
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250604093403.10916-1-zong.li@sifive.com/
v16:
- If FWFT is not implemented or returns error for shadow stack activation, then
no_usercfi is set to disable shadow stack. Although this should be picked up
by extension validation and activation. Fixed this bug for zicfilp and zicfiss
both. Thanks to Charlie Jenkins for reporting this.
- If toolchain doesn't support cfi, cfi kselftest shouldn't build. Suggested by
Charlie Jenkins.
- Default for CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI is set to no. Charlie/Atish suggested to
keep it off till we have more hardware availibility with RVA23 profile and
zimop/zcmop implemented. Else this will start breaking people's workflow
- Includes the fix if "!RV64 and !SBI" then definitions for FWFT in
asm-offsets.c error.
v15:
- Toolchain has been updated to include `-fcf-protection` flag. This
exists for x86 as well. Updated kernel patches to compile vDSO and
selftest to compile with `fcf-protection=full` flag.
- selecting CONFIG_RISCV_USERCFI selects CONFIG_RISCV_SBI.
- Patch to enable shadow stack for kernel wasn't hidden behind
CONFIG_RISCV_USERCFI and CONFIG_RISCV_SBI. fixed that.
v14:
- rebased on top of palmer/sbi-v3. Thus dropped clement's FWFT patches
Updated RISCV_ISA_EXT_XXXX in hwcap and hwprobe constants.
- Took Radim's suggestions on bitfields.
- Placed cfi_state at the end of thread_info block so that current situation
is not disturbed with respect to member fields of thread_info in single
cacheline.
v13:
- cpu_supports_shadow_stack/cpu_supports_indirect_br_lp_instr uses
riscv_has_extension_unlikely()
- uses nops(count) to create nop slide
- RISCV_ACQUIRE_BARRIER is not needed in `amo_user_shstk`. Removed it
- changed ternaries to simply use implicit casting to convert to bool.
- kernel command line allows to disable zicfilp and zicfiss independently.
updated kernel-parameters.txt.
- ptrace user abi for cfi uses bitmasks instead of bitfields. Added ptrace
kselftest.
- cosmetic and grammatical changes to documentation.
v12:
- It seems like I had accidently squashed arch agnostic indirect branch
tracking prctl and riscv implementation of those prctls. Split them again.
- set_shstk_status/set_indir_lp_status perform CSR writes only when CPU
support is available. As suggested by Zong Li.
- Some minor clean up in kselftests as suggested by Zong Li.
v11:
- patch "arch/riscv: compile vdso with landing pad" was unconditionally
selecting `_zicfilp` for vDSO compile. fixed that. Changed `lpad 1` to
to `lpad 0`.
v10:
- dropped "mm: helper `is_shadow_stack_vma` to check shadow stack vma". This patch
is not that interesting to this patch series for risc-v. There are instances in
arch directories where VM_SHADOW_STACK flag is anyways used. Dropping this patch
to expedite merging in riscv tree.
- Took suggestions from `Clement` on "riscv: zicfiss / zicfilp enumeration" to
validate presence of cfi based on config.
- Added a patch for vDSO to have `lpad 0`. I had omitted this earlier to make sure
we add single vdso object with cfi enabled. But a vdso object with scheme of
zero labeled landing pad is least common denominator and should work with all
objects of zero labeled as well as function-signature labeled objects.
v9:
- rebased on master (39a803b754d5 fix braino in "9p: fix ->rename_sem exclusion")
- dropped "mm: Introduce ARCH_HAS_USER_SHADOW_STACK" (master has it from arm64/gcs)
- dropped "prctl: arch-agnostic prctl for shadow stack" (master has it from arm64/gcs)
v8:
- rebased on palmer/for-next
- dropped samuel holland's `envcfg` context switch patches.
they are in parlmer/for-next
v7:
- Removed "riscv/Kconfig: enable HAVE_EXIT_THREAD for riscv"
Instead using `deactivate_mm` flow to clean up.
see here for more context
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230908203655.543765-1-rick.p.edgecombe@intel.…
- Changed the header include in `kselftest`. Hopefully this fixes compile
issue faced by Zong Li at SiFive.
- Cleaned up an orphaned change to `mm/mmap.c` in below patch
"riscv/mm : ensure PROT_WRITE leads to VM_READ | VM_WRITE"
- Lock interfaces for shadow stack and indirect branch tracking expect arg == 0
Any future evolution of this interface should accordingly define how arg should
be setup.
- `mm/map.c` has an instance of using `VM_SHADOW_STACK`. Fixed it to use helper
`is_shadow_stack_vma`.
- Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241008-v5_user_cfi_series-v6-0-60d9fe073f37@riv…
v6:
- Picked up Samuel Holland's changes as is with `envcfg` placed in
`thread` instead of `thread_info`
- fixed unaligned newline escapes in kselftest
- cleaned up messages in kselftest and included test output in commit message
- fixed a bug in clone path reported by Zong Li
- fixed a build issue if CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_V is not selected
(this was introduced due to re-factoring signal context
management code)
v5:
- rebased on v6.12-rc1
- Fixed schema related issues in device tree file
- Fixed some of the documentation related issues in zicfilp/ss.rst
(style issues and added index)
- added `SHADOW_STACK_SET_MARKER` so that implementation can define base
of shadow stack.
- Fixed warnings on definitions added in usercfi.h when
CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI is not selected.
- Adopted context header based signal handling as proposed by Andy Chiu
- Added support for enabling kernel mode access to shadow stack using
FWFT
(https://github.com/riscv-non-isa/riscv-sbi-doc/blob/master/src/ext-firmware…)
- Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241001-v5_user_cfi_series-v1-0-3ba65b6e550f@riv…
(Note: I had an issue in my workflow due to which version number wasn't
picked up correctly while sending out patches)
v4:
- rebased on 6.11-rc6
- envcfg: Converged with Samuel Holland's patches for envcfg management on per-
thread basis.
- vma_is_shadow_stack is renamed to is_vma_shadow_stack
- picked up Mark Brown's `ARCH_HAS_USER_SHADOW_STACK` patch
- signal context: using extended context management to maintain compatibility.
- fixed `-Wmissing-prototypes` compiler warnings for prctl functions
- Documentation fixes and amending typos.
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240912231650.3740732-1-debug@rivosinc.com/
v3:
- envcfg
logic to pick up base envcfg had a bug where `ENVCFG_CBZE` could have been
picked on per task basis, even though CPU didn't implement it. Fixed in
this series.
- dt-bindings
As suggested, split into separate commit. fixed the messaging that spec is
in public review
- arch_is_shadow_stack change
arch_is_shadow_stack changed to vma_is_shadow_stack
- hwprobe
zicfiss / zicfilp if present will get enumerated in hwprobe
- selftests
As suggested, added object and binary filenames to .gitignore
Selftest binary anyways need to be compiled with cfi enabled compiler which
will make sure that landing pad and shadow stack are enabled. Thus removed
separate enable/disable tests. Cleaned up tests a bit.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240403234054.2020347-1-debug@rivosinc.com/
v2:
- Using config `CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI`, kernel support for riscv control flow
integrity for user mode programs can be compiled in the kernel.
- Enabling of control flow integrity for user programs is left to user runtime
- This patch series introduces arch agnostic `prctls` to enable shadow stack
and indirect branch tracking. And implements them on riscv.

Note: it's net/ only bits and doesn't include changes, which shoulf be
merged separately and are posted separately. The full branch for
convenience is at [1], and the patch is here:
https://lore.kernel.org/io-uring/7486ab32e99be1f614b3ef8d0e9bc77015b173f7.1…
Many modern NICs support configurable receive buffer lengths, and zcrx and
memory providers can use buffers larger than 4K/PAGE_SIZE on x86 to improve
performance. When paired with hw-gro larger rx buffer sizes can drastically
reduce the number of buffers traversing the stack and save a lot of processing
time. It also allows to give to users larger contiguous chunks of data. The
idea was first floated around by Saeed during netdev conf 2024 and was
asked about by a few folks.
Single stream benchmarks showed up to ~30% CPU util improvement.
E.g. comparison for 4K vs 32K buffers using a 200Gbit NIC:
packets=23987040 (MB=2745098), rps=199559 (MB/s=22837)
CPU %usr %nice %sys %iowait %irq %soft %idle
0 1.53 0.00 27.78 2.72 1.31 66.45 0.22
packets=24078368 (MB=2755550), rps=200319 (MB/s=22924)
CPU %usr %nice %sys %iowait %irq %soft %idle
0 0.69 0.00 8.26 31.65 1.83 57.00 0.57
This series adds net infrastructure for memory providers configuring
the size and implements it for bnxt. It's an opt-in feature for drivers,
they should advertise support for the parameter in the qops and must check
if the hardware supports the given size. It's limited to memory providers
as it drastically simplifies implementation. It doesn't affect the fast
path zcrx uAPI, and the sizes is defined in zcrx terms, which allows it
to be flexible and adjusted in the future, see Patch 7 for details.
