Pull x86 mm updates from Borislav Petkov:
- Use the proper accessors when reading CR3 as part of the page level
transitions (5-level to 4-level, the use case being kexec) so that
only the physical address in CR3 is picked up and not flags which are
above the physical mask shift
- Clean up and unify __phys_addr_symbol() definitions

Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar:
- klp-build livepatch module generation (Josh Poimboeuf)
Introduce new objtool features and a klp-build script to generate
livepatch modules using a source .patch as input.
This builds on concepts from the longstanding out-of-tree kpatch
project which began in 2012 and has been used for many years to
generate livepatch modules for production kernels. However, this is a
complete rewrite which incorporates hard-earned lessons from 12+
years of maintaining kpatch.
Key improvements compared to kpatch-build:
- Integrated with objtool: Leverages objtool's existing control-flow
graph analysis to help detect changed functions.
- Works on vmlinux.o: Supports late-linked objects, making it
compatible with LTO, IBT, and similar.
- Simplified code base: ~3k fewer lines of code.
- Upstream: No more out-of-tree #ifdef hacks, far less cruft.
- Cleaner internals: Vastly simplified logic for
symbol/section/reloc inclusion and special section extraction.
- Robust __LINE__ macro handling: Avoids false positive binary diffs
caused by the __LINE__ macro by introducing a fix-patch-lines
script which injects #line directives into the source .patch to
preserve the original line numbers at compile time.
- Disassemble code with libopcodes instead of running objdump
(Alexandre Chartre)
- Disassemble support (-d option to objtool) by Alexandre Chartre,

When transitioning from 5-level to 4-level paging, the existing code
incorrectly accesses page table entries by directly dereferencing CR3 and
applying PAGE_MASK. This approach has several issues:
- __native_read_cr3() returns the raw CR3 register value, which on x86_64
includes not just the physical address but also flags. Bits above the
physical address width of the system i.e. above __PHYSICAL_MASK_SHIFT) are
also not masked.
- The PGD entry is masked by PAGE_SIZE which doesn't take into account the
higher bits such as _PAGE_BIT_NOPTISHADOW.
Replace this with proper accessor functions:
- native_read_cr3_pa(): Uses CR3_ADDR_MASK to additionally mask metadata out
of CR3 (like SME or LAM bits). All remaining bits are real address bits or
reserved and must be 0.
- mask pgd value with PTE_PFN_MASK instead of PAGE_MASK, accounting for flags
above bit 51 (_PAGE_BIT_NOPTISHADOW in particular). Bits below 51, but above
the max physical address are reserved and must be 0.

This is a follow up to commit c4781dc3d1cf ("Kbuild: enable
-fms-extensions") but in a separate change due to being substantially
different from the initial submission.
There are many places within the kernel that use their own CFLAGS
instead of the main KBUILD_CFLAGS, meaning code written with the main
kernel's use of '-fms-extensions' in mind that may be tangentially
included in these areas will result in "error: declaration does not
declare anything" messages from the compiler.
Add '-fms-extensions' to all these areas to ensure consistency, along
with -Wno-microsoft-anon-tag to silence clang's warning about use of the
extension that the kernel cares about using. parisc does not build with
clang so it does not need this warning flag. LoongArch does not need it
either because -W flags from KBUILD_FLAGS are pulled into cflags-vdso.

Recent EFI x86 systems are more strict when it comes to mapping boot
images, and require that mappings are either read-write or read-execute.
Now that the boot code is being cleaned up and refactored, most of it is
being moved into .init.text [where it arguably belongs] but that implies
that when booting on such strict EFI firmware, we need to take care to
map .init.text (and the .altinstr_aux section that follows it)
read-execute as well.

In order to be able to have tight control over which code may execute
from the early 1:1 mapping of memory, but still link vmlinux as a single
executable, prefix all symbol references in startup code with __pi_, and
invoke it from outside using the __pi_ prefix.
Use objtool to check that no absolute symbol references are present in
the startup code, as these cannot be used from code running from the 1:1
mapping.
Note that this also requires disabling the latent-entropy GCC plugin, as
the global symbol references that it injects would require explicit
exports, and given that the startup code rarely executes more than once,
it is not a useful source of entropy anyway.

Invoke objtool on each startup code object individually to check for the
absence of absolute relocations. This is needed because this code will
be invoked from the 1:1 mapping of memory before those absolute virtual
addresses (which are derived from the kernel virtual base address
provided to the linker and possibly shifted at boot) are mapped.
Only objects built under arch/x86/boot/startup/ have this restriction,
and once they have been incorporated into vmlinux.o, this distinction is
difficult to make. So force the invocation of objtool for each object
file individually, even if objtool is deferred to vmlinux.o for the rest
of the build. In the latter case, only pass --noabs and nothing else;
otherwise, append it to the existing objtool command line.

boot time SVSM calling area is in use. However, this API is also called by the
kexec finishing code, which runs very late, and potentially from a different
CPU (which uses a different calling area).
To avoid pulling the per-CPU SVSM calling area pointers and related SEV state
into the startup code, refactor the page state change API so the SVSM calling
area virtual and physical addresses can be provided by the caller.
No functional change intended.

Both the decompressor and the SEV startup code implement the exact same
sequence for invoking the MSR based communication protocol to effectuate
a page state change.
Before tweaking the internal APIs used in both versions, merge them and
share them so those tweaks are only needed in a single place.

The boottime SVSM calling area is used both by the startup code running from
a 1:1 mapping, and potentially later on running from the ordinary kernel
mapping.
This SVSM calling area is statically allocated, and so its physical address
doesn't change. However, its virtual address depends on the calling context
(1:1 mapping or kernel virtual mapping), and even though the variable that
holds the virtual address of this calling area gets updated from 1:1 address
to kernel address during the boot, it is hard to reason about why this is
guaranteed to be safe.
So instead, take the RIP-relative address of the boottime SVSM calling area
whenever its virtual address is required, and only use a global variable for
the physical address.

Both the decompressor and the core kernel implement an early #VC handler,
which only deals with CPUID instructions, and full featured one, which can
handle any #VC exception.
The former communicates with the hypervisor using the MSR based protocol,
whereas the latter uses a shared GHCB page, which is configured a bit later
during the boot, when the kernel runs from its ordinary virtual mapping,
rather than the 1:1 mapping that the startup code uses.
Accessing this shared GHCB page from the core kernel's startup code is
problematic, because it involves converting the GHCB address provided by the
caller to a physical address. In the startup code, virtual to physical address
translations are problematic, given that the virtual address might be a 1:1
mapped address, and such translations should therefore be avoided.
This means that exposing startup code dealing with the GHCB to callers that
execute from the ordinary kernel virtual mapping should be avoided too. So
move all GHCB page based communication out of the startup code, now that all
communication occurring before the kernel virtual mapping is up relies on the
MSR protocol only.
As an exception, add a flag representing the need to apply the coherency
fix in order to avoid exporting CPUID* helpers because of the code
running too early for the *cpu_has* infrastructure.

Determining the VMPL at which the kernel runs involves performing a RMPADJUST
operation on an arbitrary page of memory, and observing whether it succeeds.
The use of boot_ghcb_page in the core kernel in this case is completely
arbitrary, but results in the need to provide a PIC alias for it. So use
boot_svsm_ca_page instead, which already needs this alias for other reasons.

The early page state change API performs an SVSM call to PVALIDATE each page
when running under a SVSM, and this involves either a GHCB page based call or
a call based on the MSR protocol.
The GHCB page based variant involves VA to PA translation of the GHCB address,
and this is best avoided in the startup code, where virtual addresses are
ambiguous (1:1 or kernel virtual).
As this is the last remaining occurrence of svsm_perform_call_protocol() in
the startup code, switch to the MSR protocol exclusively in this particular
case, so that the GHCB based plumbing can be moved out of the startup code
entirely in a subsequent patch.

As the preceding code comment already indicates, remapping the SVSM
calling area occurs long before the GHCB page is configured, and so
calling svsm_perform_call_protocol() is guaranteed to result in a call
to svsm_perform_msr_protocol().
So just call the latter directly. This allows most of the GHCB based API
infrastructure to be moved out of the startup code in a subsequent
patch.

The Secure AVIC feature provides SEV-SNP guests hardware acceleration for
performance sensitive APIC accesses while securely managing the guest-owned
APIC state through the use of a private APIC backing page.
This helps prevent the hypervisor from generating unexpected interrupts for
a vCPU or otherwise violate architectural assumptions around the APIC
behavior.
Add a new x2APIC driver that will serve as the base of the Secure AVIC
support. It is initially the same as the x2APIC physical driver (without IPI
callbacks), but will be modified as features are implemented.
As the new driver does not implement Secure AVIC features yet, if the
hypervisor sets the Secure AVIC bit in SEV_STATUS, maintain the existing
behavior to enforce the guest termination.

There are two distinct callers of snp_cpuid(): the MSR protocol and the GHCB
page based interface.
The snp_cpuid() logic does not care about the distinction, which only matters
at a lower level. But the fact that it supports both interfaces means that the
GHCB page based logic is pulled into the early startup code where PA to VA
conversions are problematic, given that it runs from the 1:1 mapping of memory.
So keep snp_cpuid() itself in the startup code, but factor out the hypervisor
calls via a callback, so that the GHCB page handling can be moved out.
Code refactoring only - no functional change intended.

An SNP cache coherency vulnerability requires a cache line eviction
mitigation when validating memory after a page state change to private.
The specific mitigation is to touch the first and last byte of each 4K
page that is being validated. There is no need to perform the mitigation
when performing a page state change to shared and rescinding validation.
CPUID bit Fn8000001F_EBX[31] defines the COHERENCY_SFW_NO CPUID bit
that, when set, indicates that the software mitigation for this
vulnerability is not needed.
Implement the mitigation and invoke it when validating memory (making it
private) and the COHERENCY_SFW_NO bit is not set, indicating the SNP
guest is vulnerable.

architectures performing unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where
it is anticipated to occur.

Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM structures.
- "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges" from Lorenzo
Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities which we've
been missing for 15 years.
- "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE" from
SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB flushing.
Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec, we
batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost
was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to
load this particular operation.
- "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation counts" from
Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node
preallocation.
stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit percentages and

- ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave"
from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave policy in the memory
management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory
leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug
support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to hit.
- "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups including tiered memory"
from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota goal metrics which
eliminate the manual tuning which is required when utilizing DAMON
for memory tiering.
- "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He
provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which Baoquan
found via code inspection.
- "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion" from Gregory Price
changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when
possible. because presently, reclaim explicitly ignores
cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset
settings to violated.
This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from
certain classes of memory more consistently.

in in the huge page splitting and migrating code.
- "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache
for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization.
- "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen" from
Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness=" argument

This directs proactive reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios
rather than file-backed folios.
- "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike Rapoport is the
first step on the path to permitting the kernel to maintain existing
VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based kexec. At this
time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved.
- "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David Woodhouse provides

ranges of invalid pfns.
- "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via
