- Rework and sanitize the MIPS VDSO handling, so it does not handle the
time related VDSO if there is no VDSO capable clocksource available.
Also stop mapping VDSO data pages unconditionally even if there is no

riscv: misaligned: Make enabling delegation depend on NONPORTABLE

The unaligned access emulation code in Linux has various deficiencies.
For example, it doesn't emulate vector instructions [1] [2], and doesn't
emulate KVM guest accesses. Therefore, requesting misaligned exception
delegation with SBI FWFT actually regresses vector instructions' and KVM
guests' behavior.

Until Linux can handle it properly, guard these sbi_fwft_set() calls
behind RISCV_SBI_FWFT_DELEGATE_MISALIGNED, which in turn depends on
NONPORTABLE. Those who are sure that this wouldn't be a problem can
enable this option, perhaps getting better performance.

The rest of the existing code proceeds as before, except as if
SBI_FWFT_MISALIGNED_EXC_DELEG is not available, to handle any remaining
address misaligned exceptions on a best-effort basis. The KVM SBI FWFT
implementation is also not touched, but it is disabled if the firmware
emulates unaligned accesses.

Merge tag 'riscv-for-linus-7.1-mw1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/riscv/linux

Pull RISC-V updates from Paul Walmsley:
"There is one significant change outside arch/riscv in this pull
request: the addition of a set of KUnit tests for strlen(), strnlen(),
and strrchr().

Otherwise, the most notable changes are to add some RISC-V-specific
string function implementations, to remove XIP kernel support, to add
hardware error exception handling, and to optimize our runtime
unaligned access speed testing.

A few comments on the motivation for removing XIP support. It's been
broken in the RISC-V kernel for months. The code is not easy to
maintain. Furthermore, for XIP support to truly be useful for RISC-V,
we think that compile-time feature switches would need to be added for
many of the RISC-V ISA features and microarchitectural properties that
are currently implemented with runtime patching. No one has stepped
forward to take responsibility for that work, so many of us think it's
best to remove it until clear use cases and champions emerge.

Summary:

- Add Kunit correctness testing and microbenchmarks for strlen(),
strnlen(), and strrchr()

- Add RISC-V-specific strnlen(), strchr(), strrchr() implementations

- Add hardware error exception handling

- Clean up and optimize our unaligned access probe code

- Enable HAVE_IOREMAP_PROT to be able to use generic_access_phys()

- Remove XIP kernel support

- Warn when addresses outside the vmemmap range are passed to
vmemmap_populate()

- Update the ACPI FADT revision check to warn if it's not at least
ACPI v6.6, which is when key RISC-V-specific tables were added to
the specification

- Increase COMMAND_LINE_SIZE to 2048 to match ARM64, x86, PowerPC,
etc.

- Make kaslr_offset() a static inline function, since there's no need
for it to show up in the symbol table

- Add KASLR offset and SATP to the VMCOREINFO ELF notes to improve
kdump support

- Add Makefile cleanup rule for vdso_cfi copied source files, and add
a .gitignore for the build artifacts in that directory

- Remove some redundant ifdefs that check Kconfig macros

- Add missing SPDX license tag to the CFI selftest

- Simplify UTS_MACHINE assignment in the RISC-V Makefile

- Clarify some unclear comments and remove some superfluous comments

- Fix various English typos across the RISC-V codebase"

mm: remove CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE

Patch series "mm: remove CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE and cleanup
CONFIG_MIGRATION".

While working on memory hotplug code cleanups, I realized that
CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE is not really required anymore.

Changing that revealed some rather nasty looking CONFIG_MIGRATION
handling.

Let's clean that up by introducing a dedicated CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION
option and reducing the dependencies that CONFIG_MIGRATION has.


This patch (of 2):

All architectures that select CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE also
select CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTPLUG. So we can just remove
CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE.

For CONFIG_MIGRATION, make it depend on CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE instead,
and make CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE select CONFIG_MIGRATION (just like
CONFIG_CMA and CONFIG_COMPACTION already do).

We'll clean up CONFIG_MIGRATION next.

riscv: Remove support for XIP kernel

XIP has a history of being broken for long periods of time. In 2023, it was
broken for 18 months before getting fixed [1]. In 2024 it was 4 months [2].

And now it is broken again since commit a44fb5722199 ("riscv: Add runtime
constant support"), 10 months ago.

These are clear signs that XIP feature is not being used.

I occasionally looked after XIP, but mostly because I was bored and had
nothing better to do.

Remove XIP support. Revert is possible if someone shows up complaining.

Merge tag 'riscv-for-linus-7.0-mw1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/riscv/linux

Pull RISC-V updates from Paul Walmsley:

- Add support for control flow integrity for userspace processes.

This is based on the standard RISC-V ISA extensions Zicfiss and
Zicfilp

- Improve ptrace behavior regarding vector registers, and add some
selftests

- Optimize our strlen() assembly

- Enable the ISO-8859-1 code page as built-in, similar to ARM64, for
EFI volume mounting

- Clean up some code slightly, including defining copy_user_page() as
copy_page() rather than memcpy(), aligning us with other
architectures; and using max3() to slightly simplify an expression
in riscv_iommu_init_check()

riscv: create a Kconfig fragment for shadow stack and landing pad support

This patch creates a Kconfig fragment for shadow stack support and
landing pad instruction support. Shadow stack support and landing pad
instruction support can be enabled by selecting
'CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI'. Selecting 'CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI' wires up
the path to enumerate CPU support. If support exists, the kernel will
support CPU-assisted user mode CFI.

If CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI is selected, select 'ARCH_USES_HIGH_VMA_FLAGS',
'ARCH_HAS_USER_SHADOW_STACK' and 'DYNAMIC_SIGFRAME' for riscv.

RISC-V: Enable HOTPLUG_PARALLEL for secondary CPUs

The core kernel already supports parallel bringup of secondary
CPUs (aka HOTPLUG_PARALLEL). The x86 and MIPS architectures
already use HOTPLUG_PARALLEL and ARM is also moving toward it.

On RISC-V, there is no arch specific global data accessed in the
RISC-V secondary CPU bringup path so enabling HOTPLUG_PARALLEL for
RISC-V would only require:
1) Providing RISC-V specific arch_cpuhp_kick_ap_alive()
2) Calling cpuhp_ap_sync_alive() from smp_callin()

This patch is tested natively with OpenSBI on QEMU RV64 virt machine
with 64 cores and also tested with KVM RISC-V guest with 32 VCPUs.

Merge tag 'kbuild-6.18-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kbuild/linux

Pull Kbuild updates from Nathan Chancellor:

- Extend modules.builtin.modinfo to include module aliases from
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE for builtin modules so that userspace tools (such
as kmod) can verify that a particular module alias will be handled by
a builtin module

- Bump the minimum version of LLVM for building the kernel to 15.0.0

- Upgrade several userspace API checks in headers_check.pl to errors

- Unify and consolidate CONFIG_WERROR / W=e handling

- Turn assembler and linker warnings into errors with CONFIG_WERROR /
W=e

- Respect CONFIG_WERROR / W=e when building userspace programs
(userprogs)

- Enable -Werror unconditionally when building host programs
(hostprogs)

- Support copy_file_range() and data segment alignment in gen_init_cpio
to improve performance on filesystems that support reflinks such as
btrfs and XFS

- Miscellaneous small changes to scripts and configuration files
