Merge tag 'x86_cpu_for_6.19-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 CPU feature updates from Dave Hansen: "The biggest thing of note here is Linear Address Space Separation (LASS). It represents the first time I can think of that the upper=>kernel/lower=>user address space convention is actually recognized by the hardware on x86. It ensures that userspace can not even get the hardware to _start_ page walks for the kernel address space. This, of course, is a really nice generic side channel defense. This is really only a down payment on LASS support. There are still some details to work out in its interaction with EFI calls and vsyscall emulation. For now, LASS is disabled if either of those features is compiled in (which is almost always the case). There's also one straggler commit in here which converts an under-utilized AMD CPU feature leaf into a generic Linux-defined leaf so more feature can be packed in there. Summary: - Enable Linear Address Space Separation (LASS) - Change X86_FEATURE leaf 17 from an AMD leaf to Linux-defined" * tag 'x86_cpu_for_6.19-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/cpu: Enable LASS during CPU initialization selftests/x86: Update the negative vsyscall tests to expect a #GP x86/traps: Communicate a LASS violation in #GP message x86/kexec: Disable LASS during relocate kernel x86/alternatives: Disable LASS when patching kernel code x86/asm: Introduce inline memcpy and memset x86/cpu: Add an LASS dependency on SMAP x86/cpufeatures: Enumerate the LASS feature bits x86/cpufeatures: Make X86_FEATURE leaf 17 Linux-specific
