[tip: x86/entry] x86/fred: Remove ENDBR64 from FRED entry points

by tip-bot2 for Xin Li (Intel)

The following commit has been merged into the x86/entry branch of tip: Commit-ID: 3da01ffe1aeaa0d427ab5235ba735226670a80d9 Gitweb: https://git.kernel.org/tip/3da01ffe1aeaa0d427ab5235ba735226670a80d9 Author: Xin Li (Intel) <xin(a)zytor.com> AuthorDate: Tue, 15 Jul 2025 23:33:20 -07:00 Committer: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen(a)linux.intel.com> CommitterDate: Wed, 13 Aug 2025 15:05:32 -07:00 x86/fred: Remove ENDBR64 from FRED entry points The FRED specification has been changed in v9.0 to state that there is no need for FRED event handlers to begin with ENDBR64, because in the presence of supervisor indirect branch tracking, FRED event delivery does not enter the WAIT_FOR_ENDBRANCH state. As a result, remove ENDBR64 from FRED entry points. Then add ANNOTATE_NOENDBR to indicate that FRED entry points will never be used for indirect calls to suppress an objtool warning. This change implies that any indirect CALL/JMP to FRED entry points causes #CP in the presence of supervisor indirect branch tracking. Credit goes to Jennifer Miller <jmill(a)asu.edu> and other contributors from Arizona State University whose research shows that placing ENDBR at entry points has negative value thus led to this change. Note: This is obviously an incompatible change to the FRED architecture. But, it's OK because there no FRED systems out in the wild today. All production hardware and late pre-production hardware will follow the FRED v9 spec and be compatible with this approach.

[PATCH] Revert "ata: libata-scsi: Improve CDL control"

by Igor Pylypiv

This reverts commit 17e897a456752ec9c2d7afb3d9baf268b442451b. The extra checks for the ATA_DFLAG_CDL_ENABLED flag prevent SET FEATURES command from being issued to a drive when NCQ commands are active. ata_mselect_control_ata_feature() sets / clears the ATA_DFLAG_CDL_ENABLED flag during the translation of MODE SELECT to SET FEATURES. If SET FEATURES gets deferred due to outstanding NCQ commands, the original MODE SELECT command will be re-queued. When the re-queued MODE SELECT goes through the ata_mselect_control_ata_feature() translation again, SET FEATURES will not be issued because ATA_DFLAG_CDL_ENABLED has been already set or cleared by the initial translation of MODE SELECT. The ATA_DFLAG_CDL_ENABLED checks in ata_mselect_control_ata_feature() are safe to remove because scsi_cdl_enable() implements a similar logic that avoids enabling CDL if it has been already enabled.

It was meant to warn if this would ever be reached for KVM guest mappings, because the page table would be freed w/o a gmap_unlink(). THP mappings are not allowed for KVM guests on s390, so this should never happen. However, it is possible that the warning is triggered in a valid case as false-positive. s390_enable_sie() takes the mmap_lock, marks all VMAs as VM_NOHUGEPAGE and splits possibly existing THP guest mappings. mm->context.has_pgste is set to 1 before that, to prevent races with the mm_has_pgste() check in MADV_HUGEPAGE. khugepaged drops the mmap_lock for file mappings and might run in parallel, before a vma is marked VM_NOHUGEPAGE, but after mm->context.has_pgste was set to 1. If it finds file mappings to collapse, it will eventually call pte_free_defer(). This will trigger the warning, but it is a valid case because gmap is not yet set up, and the THP mappings will be split again. Therefore, remove the warning and the comment.

However, the text location (...+0x9a in this case) is the instruction *AFTER* the XRSTOR. The highlighted instruction in the "Code:" dump also points one instruction late. The reason is that the "fixup" moves RIP up to pass the bad XRSTOR and keep on running after returning from the #GP handler. But it does this fixup before warning. The resulting warning output is nonsensical because it looks like the non-FPU-related instruction is #GP'ing. Do not fix up RIP until after printing the warning. Do this by using the more generic and standard ex_handler_default().

FAILED: patch "[PATCH] ALSA: scarlett2: Add retry on -EPROTO from scarlett2_usb_tx()" failed to apply to 5.10-stable tree

Bennett" <g(a)b4.vu> Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2025 19:00:35 +0930 Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: scarlett2: Add retry on -EPROTO from scarlett2_usb_tx() During communication with Focusrite Scarlett Gen 2/3/4 USB audio interfaces, -EPROTO is sometimes returned from scarlett2_usb_tx(), snd_usb_ctl_msg() which can cause initialisation and control operations to fail intermittently. This patch adds up to 5 retries in scarlett2_usb(), with a delay starting at 5ms and doubling each time. This follows the same approach as the fix for usb_set_interface() in endpoint.c (commit f406005e162b ("ALSA: usb-audio: Add retry on -EPROTO from usb_set_interface()")), which resolved similar -EPROTO issues during device initialisation, and is the same approach as in fcp.c:fcp_usb().
