[PATCH 5/6] KVM: SVM: Add missing save/restore handling of LBR MSRs

by Yosry Ahmed

MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR and LBR MSRs are currently not enumerated by KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST, and LBR MSRs cannot be set with KVM_SET_MSRS. So save/restore is completely broken. Fix it by adding the MSRs to msrs_to_save_base, and allowing writes to LBR MSRs from userspace only (as they are read-only MSRs). Additionally, to correctly restore L1's LBRs while L2 is running, make sure the LBRs are copied from the captured VMCB01 save area in svm_copy_vmrun_state().

[PATCH 1/1] firmware: stratix10-svc: stop kernel thread once service is completed

by Khairul A. Romli

From: Khairul Anuar Romli <khairul.anuar.romli(a)altera.com> This patch resolves a customer-reported issue where the Stratix10 SVC service layer caused maximum CPU utilization. The original logic only stopped the thread if it was running and there was one or fewer active clients. This overly restrictive condition prevented the thread from stopping even when the application was active, leading to unnecessary CPU consumption. The updated logic now stops the thread whenever it is running, regardless of the number of active clients, ensuring better resource management and resolving the performance issue.

[PATCH] rust: kbuild: skip gendwarfksyms in `bindings.o` for Rust >= 1.91.0

by Miguel Ojeda

Starting with Rust 1.91.0 (released 2025-10-30), in upstream commit ab91a63d403b ("Ignore intrinsic calls in cross-crate-inlining cost model") [1][2], `bindings.o` stops containing DWARF debug information because the `Default` implementations contained `write_bytes()` calls which are now ignored in that cost model (note that `CLIPPY=1` does not reproduce it). This means `gendwarfksyms` complains: RUSTC L rust/bindings.o error: gendwarfksyms: process_module: dwarf_get_units failed: no debugging information? For the moment, conditionally skip `gendwarfksyms` for Rust >= 1.91.0. Cc: stable(a)vger.kernel.org # Needed in 6.12.y and later (Rust is pinned in older LTSs).

[PATCH net v2] strparser: Fix signed/unsigned mismatch bug

by Nate Karstens

The `len` member of the sk_buff is an unsigned int. This is cast to `ssize_t` (a signed type) for the first sk_buff in the comparison, but not the second sk_buff. On 32-bit systems, this can result in an integer underflow for certain values because unsigned arithmetic is being used. This appears to be an oversight: if the intention was to use unsigned arithmetic, then the first cast would have been omitted. The change ensures both len values are cast to `ssize_t`. The underflow causes an issue with ktls when multiple TLS PDUs are included in a single TCP segment. The mainline kernel does not use strparser for ktls anymore, but this is still useful for other features that still use strparser, and for backporting.

[PATCH 3/6] KVM: nSVM: Fix and simplify LBR virtualization handling with nested

by Yosry Ahmed

The current scheme for handling LBRV when nested is used is very complicated, especially when L1 does not enable LBRV (i.e. does not set LBR_CTL_ENABLE_MASK). To avoid copying LBRs between VMCB01 and VMCB02 on every nested transition, the current implementation switches between using VMCB01 or VMCB02 as the source of truth for the LBRs while L2 is running. If L2 enables LBR, VMCB02 is used as the source of truth. When L2 disables LBR, the LBRs are copied to VMCB01 and VMCB01 is used as the source of truth. This introduces significant complexity, and incorrect behavior in some cases. For example, on a nested #VMEXIT, the LBRs are only copied from VMCB02 to VMCB01 if LBRV is enabled in VMCB01. This is because L2's writes to MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR to enable LBR are intercepted and propagated to VMCB01 instead of VMCB02. However, LBRV is only enabled in VMCB02 when L2 is running. This means that if L2 enables LBR and exits to L1, the LBRs will not be propagated from VMCB02 to VMCB01, because LBRV is disabled in VMCB01. There is no meaningful difference in CPUID rate in L2 when copying LBRs on every nested transition vs. the current approach, so do the simple and correct thing and always copy LBRs between VMCB01 and VMCB02 on nested transitions (when LBRV is disabled by L1). Drop the conditional LBRs copying in __svm_{enable/disable}_lbrv() as it is now unnecessary. VMCB02 becomes the only source of truth for LBRs when L2 is running, regardless of LBRV being enabled by L1, drop svm_get_lbr_vmcb() and use svm->vmcb directly in its place.

[PATCH v2] x86/amd: Disable RDSEED on AMD Zen5 because of an error.

by Gregory Price

Under unknown conditions, Zen5 chips running rdseed can produce (val=0,CF=1) over 10% of the time (when rdseed is successful). CF=1 indicates success, while val=0 is typically only produced when rdseed fails (CF=0). This suggests there is a bug which causes rdseed to silently fail. This was reproduced reliably by launching 2-threads per available core, 1-thread per for hamming on RDSEED, and 1-thread per core collectively eating and hammering on ~90% of memory. This was observed on more than 1 Zen5 model, so it should be disabled for all of Zen5 until/unless a comprehensive blacklist can be built.
