This is a 5.15 backport of Indirect Target Selection (ITS) mitigation. ITS is a bug in some Intel CPUs that affects indirect branches including RETs in the first half of a cacheline. Mitigation is to relocate the affected branches to an ITS-safe thunk. Below additional upstream commits are required to cover some of the special cases like indirects in asm and returns in static calls: cfceff8526a4 ("x86/speculation: Simplify and make CALL_NOSPEC consistent") 052040e34c08 ("x86/speculation: Add a conditional CS prefix to CALL_NOSPEC") c8c81458863a ("x86/speculation: Remove the extra #ifdef around CALL_NOSPEC") d2408e043e72 ("x86/alternative: Optimize returns patching") 4ba89dd6ddec ("x86/alternatives: Remove faulty optimization") [1] https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/6f5bf947bab06f37ff931c359fd5770c4d… --- Borislav Petkov (AMD) (1): x86/alternative: Optimize returns patching Josh Poimboeuf (1): x86/alternatives: Remove faulty optimization Pawan Gupta (10): x86/speculation: Simplify and make CALL_NOSPEC consistent x86/speculation: Add a conditional CS prefix to CALL_NOSPEC x86/speculation: Remove the extra #ifdef around CALL_NOSPEC Documentation: x86/bugs/its: Add ITS documentation x86/its: Enumerate Indirect Target Selection (ITS) bug x86/its: Add support for ITS-safe indirect thunk x86/its: Add support for ITS-safe return thunk x86/its: Enable Indirect Target Selection mitigation x86/its: Add "vmexit" option to skip mitigation on some CPUs x86/its: Align RETs in BHB clear sequence to avoid thunking Peter Zijlstra (2): x86,nospec: Simplify {JMP,CALL}_NOSPEC x86/its: Use dynamic thunks for indirect branches Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-system-cpu | 1 + Documentation/admin-guide/hw-vuln/index.rst | 1 + .../hw-vuln/indirect-target-selection.rst | 156 ++++++++++++++ Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt | 15 ++ arch/x86/Kconfig | 11 + arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S | 20 +- arch/x86/include/asm/alternative.h | 24 +++ arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h | 3 + arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h | 8 + arch/x86/include/asm/nospec-branch.h | 57 ++++-- arch/x86/kernel/alternative.c | 226 ++++++++++++++++++++- arch/x86/kernel/cpu/bugs.c | 139 ++++++++++++- arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c | 63 ++++-- arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c | 2 +- arch/x86/kernel/module.c | 7 + arch/x86/kernel/static_call.c | 2 +- arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S | 10 + arch/x86/kvm/x86.c | 4 +- arch/x86/lib/retpoline.S | 39 ++++ arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp.c | 8 +- drivers/base/cpu.c | 8 + include/linux/cpu.h | 2 + include/linux/module.h | 5 + 23 files changed, 768 insertions(+), 43 deletions(-) --- base-commit: 3b8db0e4f2631c030ab86f78d199ec0b198578f3 change-id: 20250512-its-5-15-0e0385221e32 Best regards, -- Pawan

And the root cause is that it has too much free memory than what the test supports. The test case tries to allocate 100000 huge pages, which is about 200 GB for that x86 server, and when it succeeds, it expects it's large than 1/3 of 80% of the free memory in system. This logic only works for platform with 750 GB ( 200 / (1/3) / 80% ) or less free memory, and may raise false alarm for others. Fix it by changing the fixed page number to self-adjustable number according to the real number of free memory.

However, when the device is removed and brought back, the channel gets rescinded and the device again gets registered to VMBus. However this time, the uio_hv_generic driver is already registered to probe for that device and in this case sysfs creation is tried before the device's kobject gets initialized completely. Fix this by moving the core logic of sysfs creation of ring buffer, from uio_hv_generic to HyperV's VMBus driver, where the rest of the sysfs attributes for the channels are defined. While doing that, make use of attribute groups and macros, instead of creating sysfs directly, to ensure better error handling and code flow. Problematic path: vmbus_process_offer (A new offer comes for the VMBus device) vmbus_add_channel_work vmbus_device_register |-> device_register | |... | |-> hv_uio_probe | |... | |-> sysfs_create_bin_file (leads to a warning as | the primary channel's kobject, which is used to | create the sysfs file, is not yet initialized) |-> kset_create_and_add |-> vmbus_add_channel_kobj (initialization of the primary channel's kobject happens later) Above code flow is sequential and the warning is always reproducible in this path.

[PATCH 6.1.y] drm/amd/display: Don't refer to dc_sink in is_dsc_need_re_compute

by jianqi.ren.cn＠windriver.com

From: Wayne Lin <wayne.lin(a)amd.com> [ Upstream commit fcf6a49d79923a234844b8efe830a61f3f0584e4 ] [Why] When unplug one of monitors connected after mst hub, encounter null pointer dereference. It's due to dc_sink get released immediately in early_unregister() or detect_ctx(). When commit new state which directly referring to info stored in dc_sink will cause null pointer dereference. [how] Remove redundant checking condition. Relevant condition should already be covered by checking if dsc_aux is null or not. Also reset dsc_aux to NULL when the connector is disconnected.

[PATCH 5.10.y] net: fec: remove .ndo_poll_controller to avoid deadlocks

by Feng Liu

From: Wei Fang <wei.fang(a)nxp.com> [ Upstream commit c2e0c58b25a0a0c37ec643255558c5af4450c9f5 ] There is a deadlock issue found in sungem driver, please refer to the commit ac0a230f719b ("eth: sungem: remove .ndo_poll_controller to avoid deadlocks"). The root cause of the issue is that netpoll is in atomic context and disable_irq() is called by .ndo_poll_controller interface of sungem driver, however, disable_irq() might sleep. After analyzing the implementation of fec_poll_controller(), the fec driver should have the same issue. Due to the fec driver uses NAPI for TX completions, the .ndo_poll_controller is unnecessary to be implemented in the fec driver, so fec_poll_controller() can be safely removed.

This causes lockdep to complain because it observed the lock being acquired with interrupts enabled and in hard interrupt context.

[PATCH for 6.1/6.6] LoongArch: Explicitly specify code model in Makefile

by Huacai Chen

LoongArch's toolchain may change the default code model from normal to medium. This is unnecessary for kernel, and generates some relocations which cannot be handled by the module loader. So explicitly specify the code model to normal in Makefile (for Rust 'normal' is 'small').

And the root cause is that it has too much free memory than what the test supports. The test case tries to allocate 100000 huge pages, which is about 200 GB for that x86 server, and when it succeeds, it expects it's large than 1/3 of 80% of the free memory in system. This logic only works for platform with 750 GB ( 200 / (1/3) / 80% ) or less free memory, and may raise false alarm for others. Fix it by changing the fixed page number to self-adjustable number according to the real number of free memory.
