[PATCH v2] selftests/filesystems: Assume that TIOCGPTPEER is defined

by Mark Brown

The devpts_pts selftest has an ifdef in case an architecture does not define TIOCGPTPEER, but the handling for this is broken since we need errno to be set to EINVAL in order to skip the test as we should. Given that this ioctl() has been defined since v4.15 we may as well just assume it's there rather than write handling code which will probably never get used.

[PATCH v2 0/9] KVM: x86: Improve the handling of debug exceptions during instruction emulation

by Hou Wenlong

During my testing, I found that guest debugging with 'DR6.BD' does not work in instruction emulation, as the current code only considers the guest's DR7. Upon reviewing the code, I also observed that the checks for the userspace guest debugging feature and the guest's own debugging feature are repeated in different places during instruction emulation, but the overall logic is the same. If guest debug is enabled, it needs to exit to userspace; otherwise, a #DB exception needs to be injected into the guest. Therefore, as suggested by Jiangshan Lai, some cleanup has been done for #DB handling in instruction emulation in this patchset. A new function named 'kvm_inject_emulated_db()' is introduced to consolidate all the checking logic. Moreover, I hope we can make the #DB interception path use the same function as well. Additionally, when I looked into the single-step #DB handling in instruction emulation, I noticed that the interrupt shadow is toggled, but it is not considered in the single-step #DB injection. This oversight causes VM entry to fail on VMX (due to pending debug exceptions state checking). As pointed out by Sean, fault-like code #DBs can be coincident with trap-like single-step #DBs at the instruction boundary on the hardware. However it is difficult to emulate this in the emulator, as kvm_vcpu_check_code_breakpoint() is called at the start of the next instruction while the single-step #DB for the previous instruction has already been injected. v1->v2: - cleanup in inject_emulated_exception(). - rename 'set_pending_dbg' callback as 'refresh_pending_dbg_exceptions'. - fold refresh_pending_dbg_exceptions() call into kvm_vcpu_do_singlestep(). - Split the change to move up kvm_set_rflags() into a single patch. - Move the #DB and IRQ handler registration after guest debug testcases.

Issue in parsing of tests that use KUNIT_CASE_PARAM

by Ojaswin Mujoo

Hello, While writing some Kunit tests for ext4 filesystem, I'm encountering an issue in the way we display the diagnostic logs upon failures, when using KUNIT_CASE_PARAM() to write the tests. This can be observed by patching fs/ext4/mballoc-test.c to fail and print one of the params: --- a/fs/ext4/mballoc-test.c +++ b/fs/ext4/mballoc-test.c @@ -350,6 +350,8 @@ static int mbt_kunit_init(struct kunit *test) struct super_block *sb; int ret; + KUNIT_FAIL(test, "Failed: blocksize_bits=%d", layout->blocksize_bits); + sb = mbt_ext4_alloc_super_block(); if (sb == NULL) return -ENOMEM; With the above change, we can observe the following output (snipped): [18:50:25] ============== ext4_mballoc_test (7 subtests) ============== [18:50:25] ================= test_new_blocks_simple ================== [18:50:25] [FAILED] block_bits=10 cluster_bits=3 blocks_per_group=8192 group_count=4 desc_size=64 [18:50:25] # test_new_blocks_simple: EXPECTATION FAILED at fs/ext4/mballoc-test.c:364 [18:50:25] Failed: blocksize_bits=12 [18:50:25] [FAILED] block_bits=12 cluster_bits=3 blocks_per_group=8192 group_count=4 desc_size=64 [18:50:25] # test_new_blocks_simple: EXPECTATION FAILED at fs/ext4/mballoc-test.c:364 [18:50:25] Failed: blocksize_bits=16 [18:50:25] [FAILED] block_bits=16 cluster_bits=3 blocks_per_group=8192 group_count=4 desc_size=64 [18:50:25] # test_new_blocks_simple: EXPECTATION FAILED at fs/ext4/mballoc-test.c:364 [18:50:25] Failed: blocksize_bits=10 [18:50:25] # test_new_blocks_simple: pass:0 fail:3 skip:0 total:3 [18:50:25] ============= [FAILED] test_new_blocks_simple ============== <snip> Note that the diagnostic logs don't show up correctly. Ideally they should be before test result but here the first [FAILED] test has no logs printed above whereas the last "Failed: blocksize_bits=10" print comes after the last subtest, when it actually corresponds to the first subtest. The KTAP file itself seems to have diagnostic logs in the right place: KTAP version 1 1..2 KTAP version 1 # Subtest: ext4_mballoc_test # module: ext4 1..7 KTAP version 1 # Subtest: test_new_blocks_simple # test_new_blocks_simple: EXPECTATION FAILED at fs/ext4/mballoc-test.c:364 Failed: blocksize_bits=10 not ok 1 block_bits=10 cluster_bits=3 blocks_per_group=8192 group_count=4 desc_size=64 # test_new_blocks_simple: EXPECTATION FAILED at fs/ext4/mballoc-test.c:364 Failed: blocksize_bits=12 not ok 2 block_bits=12 cluster_bits=3 blocks_per_group=8192 group_count=4 desc_size=64 # test_new_blocks_simple: EXPECTATION FAILED at fs/ext4/mballoc-test.c:364 Failed: blocksize_bits=16 not ok 3 block_bits=16 cluster_bits=3 blocks_per_group=8192 group_count=4 desc_size=64 # test_new_blocks_simple: pass:0 fail:3 skip:0 total:3 not ok 1 test_new_blocks_simple <snip> By tracing kunit_parser.py script, I could see the issue here is in the parsing of the "Subtest: test_new_blocks_simple". We end up associating everything below the subtest till "not ok 1 block_bits=10..." as diagnostic logs of the subtest, while these lons actually belong to the first of the 3 subtests under this test. I tired to figure out a way to fix the parsing but fixing one thing broke something else. Im starting to think that the issue is that there are 3 subtests under test_new_block_simple (array of 3 params passed to KUNIT_CASE_PARAM), but instead of creating 3 structured subtests, the KTAP output dumps the results of all 3 directly under subtest:test_new_blocks_simple. Which makes it tricky to determine where the diagnostic log/attributes of test_new_blocks_simple ends and that of its children begins. I'm not very familiar with KUnit framework so I though I'd reach out here for some pointers. I can dedicate some time fixing this but I'd like to know if this is something we need to somehow fix in parsing or during generation of the KTAP file itself? Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks, Ojaswin

[PATCH][v2] watchdog: softlockup: panic when lockup duration exceeds N thresholds

by lirongqing

From: Li RongQing <lirongqing(a)baidu.com> The softlockup_panic sysctl is currently a binary option: panic immediately or never panic on soft lockups. Panicking on any soft lockup, regardless of duration, can be overly aggressive for brief stalls that may be caused by legitimate operations. Conversely, never panicking may allow severe system hangs to persist undetected. Extend softlockup_panic to accept an integer threshold, allowing the kernel to panic only when the normalized lockup duration exceeds N watchdog threshold periods. This provides finer-grained control to distinguish between transient delays and persistent system failures. The accepted values are: - 0: Don't panic (unchanged) - 1: Panic when duration >= 1 * threshold (20s default, original behavior) - N > 1: Panic when duration >= N * threshold (e.g., 2 = 40s, 3 = 60s.) The original behavior is preserved for values 0 and 1, maintaining full backward compatibility while allowing systems to tolerate brief lockups while still catching severe, persistent hangs.

[PATCHSET v11 sched_ext/for-6.20] Add a deadline server for sched_ext tasks

by Andrea Righi

sched_ext tasks can be starved by long-running RT tasks, especially since RT throttling was replaced by deadline servers to boost only SCHED_NORMAL tasks. Several users in the community have reported issues with RT stalling sched_ext tasks. This is fairly common on distributions or environments where applications like video compositors, audio services, etc. run as RT tasks by default. Example trace (showing a per-CPU kthread stalled due to the sway Wayland compositor running as an RT task): runnable task stall (kworker/0:0[106377] failed to run for 5.043s) ... CPU 0 : nr_run=3 flags=0xd cpu_rel=0 ops_qseq=20646200 pnt_seq=45388738 curr=sway[994] class=rt_sched_class R kworker/0:0[106377] -5043ms scx_state/flags=3/0x1 dsq_flags=0x0 ops_state/qseq=0/0 sticky/holding_cpu=-1/-1 dsq_id=0x8000000000000002 dsq_vtime=0 slice=20000000 cpus=01 This is often perceived as a bug in the BPF schedulers, but in reality they can't do much: RT tasks run outside their control and can potentially consume 100% of the CPU bandwidth. Fix this by adding a sched_ext deadline server, so that sched_ext tasks are also boosted and do not suffer starvation. Two kselftests are also provided to verify the starvation fixes and bandwidth allocation is correct. == Design == - The EXT server is initialized at boot time and remains configured throughout the system's lifetime - It starts automatically when the first sched_ext task is enqueued (rq->scx.nr_running == 1) - The server's pick function (ext_server_pick_task) always selects sched_ext tasks when active - Runtime accounting happens in update_curr_scx() during task execution and update_curr_idle() when idle - Bandwidth accounting includes both fair and ext servers in root domain calculations - A debugfs interface (/sys/kernel/debug/sched/ext_server/) allows runtime tuning of server parameters == Highlights in this version == As discussed at the sched_ext microconference at LPC Tokyo, the plan is to start with a simpler approach, avoiding automatically creating or tearing down the EXT server bandwidth reservation when a BPF scheduler is loaded or unloaded. Instead, the reservation is kept permanently active. This significantly simplifies the logic while still addressing the starvation issue. Any fine-tuning of the bandwidth reservation is delegated to the system administrator, who can adjust it via the debugfs interface. In the future, a more suitable interface can be introduced and automatic removal of the reservation when the BPF scheduler is unloaded can be revisited.

[PATCH] kunit: fix up const mis-match in many assert functions

by Greg Kroah-Hartman

In many kunit assert functions a const pointer is passed to container_of() and out pops a non-const pointer, which really isn't the correct thing to do at all. Fix this up by correctly marking the casted-to pointer as const to preserve the marking.

[PATCH v5 00/24] ARM64 PMU Partitioning

by Colton Lewis

This series creates a new PMU scheme on ARM, a partitioned PMU that allows reserving a subset of counters for more direct guest access, significantly reducing overhead. More details, including performance benchmarks, can be read in the v1 cover letter linked below. An overview of what this series accomplishes was presented at KVM Forum 2025. Slides [1] and video [2] are linked below. The long duration between v4 and v5 is due to time spent on this project being monopolized preparing this feature for internal production. As a result, there are too many improvements to fully list here, but I will cover the notable ones. v5: * Rebase onto v6.18-rc7. This required pulling some reorganization patches from Anish and Sean that were dependencies from previous versions based on kvm/queue but never made it to upstream. * Ensure FGTs (fine-grained traps) are correctly programmed at vCPU load using kvm_vcpu_load_fgt() and helpers introduced by Oliver Upton. * Cleanly separate concerns of whether the partitioned PMU is enabled for the guest and whether FGT should be enabled. This allows that the capability can be VM-scoped while the implementation detail of whether FGT and context switching are in effect can remain vCPU-scoped. * Shrink the uAPI change. Instead of a cap and corresponding ioctl, the feature can be controlled by just a cap with an argument. The cap is now also VM-scoped and enforces ordering that it should be decided before vCPUs are created. Whether the cap is enabled is now tracked by the new flag KVM_ARCH_ARM_PARTITIONED_PMU_ENABLED. * Improve log messages when partitioning in the PMUv3 driver. * Introduce a global variable armv8pmu_hpmn_max in the PMUv3 driver so KVM code can read if a value was set before the PMU is probed. This is needed to properly test if we have the capability before vCPUs are created. * Make it possible for a VMM to filter the HPMN0 feature bit. * Fix event filter problems with PMEVTYPER handling in writethrough_pmevtyper() and kvm_pmu_apply_event_filter() by using kvm_pmu_event_mask() in the right spots. And if an event is filtered, write the physical register with the appropriate exclude bits set but keep the virtual register exactly what the guest wrote. * Fix register access problems with the PMU register fast path handler by lifting some static PMU access checks from sys_regs.c to use them in the fast path too and make bit masking more strict for better ARM compliance. * Fix the readability and logic of programming the MDCR_EL2 register when entering the guest. Make sure to set the HPME bit to allow host counters to count guest events. Set TPM and TPMCR by default and clear them if partitioning is enabled rather than the previous inverted logic of leaving them clear and setting them if partitioning is not enabled. Make the HPMN field computation more clear. * As part of lazy context switching, do a load when the guest is switching to physical access to ensure any previous writes that only reached the virtual registers reach the physical ones as well and are not clobbered by the next vcpu_put(). * Other fixes and improvements that are too small to mention or left out from my personal notes. v4: https://lore.kernel.org/kvmarm/20250714225917.1396543-1-coltonlewis@google.… v3: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20250626200459.1153955-1-coltonlewis@google.com/ v2: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20250620221326.1261128-1-coltonlewis@google.com/ v1: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20250602192702.2125115-1-coltonlewis@google.com/ [1] https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/kvm-forum/-/raw/main/_attachments/2025/Opti… [2] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRzZ8jMIA6M&list=PLW3ep1uCIRfxwmllXTOA2txfD… Anish Ghulati (1): KVM: arm64: Move arm_{psci,hypercalls}.h to an internal KVM path Colton Lewis (20): arm64: cpufeature: Add cpucap for HPMN0 KVM: arm64: Reorganize PMU functions perf: arm_pmuv3: Introduce method to partition the PMU perf: arm_pmuv3: Generalize counter bitmasks perf: arm_pmuv3: Keep out of guest counter partition KVM: arm64: Set up FGT for Partitioned PMU KVM: arm64: Writethrough trapped PMEVTYPER register KVM: arm64: Use physical PMSELR for PMXEVTYPER if partitioned KVM: arm64: Writethrough trapped PMOVS register KVM: arm64: Write fast path PMU register handlers KVM: arm64: Setup MDCR_EL2 to handle a partitioned PMU KVM: arm64: Account for partitioning in PMCR_EL0 access KVM: arm64: Context swap Partitioned PMU guest registers KVM: arm64: Enforce PMU event filter at vcpu_load() KVM: arm64: Implement lazy PMU context swaps perf: arm_pmuv3: Handle IRQs for Partitioned PMU guest counters KVM: arm64: Inject recorded guest interrupts KVM: arm64: Add KVM_CAP to partition the PMU KVM: selftests: Add find_bit to KVM library KVM: arm64: selftests: Add test case for partitioned PMU Marc Zyngier (1): KVM: arm64: Reorganize PMU includes Sean Christopherson (2): KVM: arm64: Include KVM headers to get forward declarations KVM: arm64: Move ARM specific headers in include/kvm to arch directory Documentation/virt/kvm/api.rst | 24 + arch/arm/include/asm/arm_pmuv3.h | 28 + arch/arm64/include/asm/arm_pmuv3.h | 61 +- .../arm64/include/asm/kvm_arch_timer.h | 2 + arch/arm64/include/asm/kvm_host.h | 24 +- .../arm64/include/asm/kvm_pmu.h | 142 ++++ arch/arm64/include/asm/kvm_types.h | 7 +- .../arm64/include/asm/kvm_vgic.h | 0 arch/arm64/kernel/cpufeature.c | 8 + arch/arm64/kvm/Makefile | 2 +- arch/arm64/kvm/arch_timer.c | 5 +- arch/arm64/kvm/arm.c | 23 +- {include => arch/arm64}/kvm/arm_hypercalls.h | 0 {include => arch/arm64}/kvm/arm_psci.h | 0 arch/arm64/kvm/config.c | 34 +- arch/arm64/kvm/debug.c | 31 +- arch/arm64/kvm/guest.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/kvm/handle_exit.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/Makefile | 6 +- arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/include/hyp/switch.h | 211 ++++- arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/switch.c | 4 +- arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/vhe/switch.c | 4 +- arch/arm64/kvm/hypercalls.c | 4 +- arch/arm64/kvm/pmu-direct.c | 464 +++++++++++ arch/arm64/kvm/pmu-emul.c | 678 +--------------- arch/arm64/kvm/pmu.c | 726 ++++++++++++++++++ arch/arm64/kvm/psci.c | 4 +- arch/arm64/kvm/pvtime.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/kvm/reset.c | 3 +- arch/arm64/kvm/sys_regs.c | 110 +-- arch/arm64/kvm/trace_arm.h | 2 +- arch/arm64/kvm/trng.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/kvm/vgic/vgic-debug.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/kvm/vgic/vgic-init.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/kvm/vgic/vgic-irqfd.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/kvm/vgic/vgic-kvm-device.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/kvm/vgic/vgic-mmio-v2.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/kvm/vgic/vgic-mmio-v3.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/kvm/vgic/vgic-mmio.c | 4 +- arch/arm64/kvm/vgic/vgic-v2.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/kvm/vgic/vgic-v3-nested.c | 3 +- arch/arm64/kvm/vgic/vgic-v3.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/kvm/vgic/vgic-v5.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/tools/cpucaps | 1 + arch/arm64/tools/sysreg | 6 +- drivers/perf/arm_pmuv3.c | 137 +++- include/linux/perf/arm_pmu.h | 1 + include/linux/perf/arm_pmuv3.h | 14 +- include/uapi/linux/kvm.h | 1 + tools/include/uapi/linux/kvm.h | 1 + tools/testing/selftests/kvm/Makefile.kvm | 1 + .../selftests/kvm/arm64/vpmu_counter_access.c | 77 +- tools/testing/selftests/kvm/lib/find_bit.c | 1 + 53 files changed, 2049 insertions(+), 831 deletions(-) rename include/kvm/arm_arch_timer.h => arch/arm64/include/asm/kvm_arch_timer.h (98%) rename include/kvm/arm_pmu.h => arch/arm64/include/asm/kvm_pmu.h (61%) rename include/kvm/arm_vgic.h => arch/arm64/include/asm/kvm_vgic.h (100%) rename {include => arch/arm64}/kvm/arm_hypercalls.h (100%) rename {include => arch/arm64}/kvm/arm_psci.h (100%) create mode 100644 arch/arm64/kvm/pmu-direct.c create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/kvm/lib/find_bit.c base-commit: ac3fd01e4c1efce8f2c054cdeb2ddd2fc0fb150d -- 2.52.0.239.gd5f0c6e74e-goog
