Merge tag 'kvm-x86-pmu-6.20' of https://github.com/kvm-x86/linux into HEAD
KVM mediated PMU support for 6.20
Add support for mediated PMUs, where KVM gives the guest full ownership of PMU hardware (contexted switched around the fastpath run loop) and allows direct access to data MSRs and PMCs (restricted by the vPMU model), but intercepts access to control registers, e.g. to enforce event filtering and to prevent the guest from profiling sensitive host state.
To keep overall complexity reasonable, mediated PMU usage is all or nothing for a given instance of KVM (controlled via module param). The Mediated PMU is disabled default, partly to maintain backwards compatilibity for existing setup, partly because there are tradeoffs when running with a mediated PMU that may be non-starters for some use cases, e.g. the host loses the ability to profile guests with mediated PMUs, the fastpath run loop is also a blind spot, entry/exit transitions are more expensive, etc.
Versus the emulated PMU, where KVM is "just another perf user", the mediated PMU delivers more accurate profiling and monitoring (no risk of contention and thus dropped events), with significantly less overhead (fewer exits and faster emulation/programming of event selectors) E.g. when running Specint-2017 on a single-socket Sapphire Rapids with 56 cores and no-SMT, and using perf from within the guest:
Perf command: a. basic-sampling: perf record -F 1000 -e 6-instructions -a --overwrite b. multiplex-sampling: perf record -F 1000 -e 10-instructions -a --overwrite
Guest performance overhead: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Test case | emulated vPMU | all passthrough | passthrough with | | | | | event filters | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | basic-sampling | 33.62% | 4.24% | 6.21% | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | multiplex-sampling | 79.32% | 7.34% | 10.45% | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Merge tag 'perf-core-2026-02-09' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull performance event updates from Ingo Molnar: "x86 PMU driver updates:
- Add support for the core PMU for Intel Diamond Rapids (DMR) CPUs (Dapeng Mi)
Compared to previous iterations of the Intel PMU code, there's been a lot of changes, which center around three main areas:
- Introduce the OFF-MODULE RESPONSE (OMR) facility to replace the Off-Core Response (OCR) facility
- New PEBS data source encoding layout
- Support the new "RDPMC user disable" feature
- Likewise, a large series adds uncore PMU support for Intel Diamond Rapids (DMR) CPUs (Zide Chen)
This centers around these four main areas:
- DMR may have two Integrated I/O and Memory Hub (IMH) dies, separate from the compute tile (CBB) dies. Each CBB and each IMH die has its own discovery domain.
- Unlike prior CPUs that retrieve the global discovery table portal exclusively via PCI or MSR, DMR uses PCI for IMH PMON discovery and MSR for CBB PMON discovery.
- DMR introduces several new PMON types: SCA, HAMVF, D2D_ULA, UBR, PCIE4, CRS, CPC, ITC, OTC, CMS, and PCIE6.
- IIO free-running counters in DMR are MMIO-based, unlike SPR.
- Also add support for Add missing PMON units for Intel Panther Lake, and support Nova Lake (NVL), which largely maps to Panther Lake. (Zide Chen)
- KVM integration: Add support for mediated vPMUs (by Kan Liang and Sean Christopherson, with fixes and cleanups by Peter Zijlstra, Sandipan Das and Mingwei Zhang)
- Add Intel cstate driver to support for Wildcat Lake (WCL) CPUs, which are a low-power variant of Panther Lake (Zide Chen)
- Add core, cstate and MSR PMU support for the Airmont NP Intel CPU (aka MaxLinear Lightning Mountain), which maps to the existing Airmont code (Martin Schiller)
Performance enhancements:
- Speed up kexec shutdown by avoiding unnecessary cross CPU calls (Jan H. Schönherr)
- Fix slow perf_event_task_exit() with LBR callstacks (Namhyung Kim)
User-space stack unwinding support:
- Various cleanups and refactorings in preparation to generalize the unwinding code for other architectures (Jens Remus)
Uprobes updates:
- Transition from kmap_atomic to kmap_local_page (Keke Ming)
- Fix incorrect lockdep condition in filter_chain() (Breno Leitao)
- Fix XOL allocation failure for 32-bit tasks (Oleg Nesterov)
Misc fixes and cleanups:
- s390: Remove kvm_types.h from Kbuild (Randy Dunlap)
- x86/intel/uncore: Convert comma to semicolon (Chen Ni)
- x86/uncore: Clean up const mismatch (Greg Kroah-Hartman)
- x86/ibs: Fix typo in dc_l2tlb_miss comment (Xiang-Bin Shi)"

Merge tag 'trace-deferred-unwind-v6.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull initial deferred unwind infrastructure from Steven Rostedt: "This is the core infrastructure for the deferred unwinder that is required for sframes[1]. Several other patch series are based on this work although those patch series are not dependent on each other. In order to simplify the development, having this core series upstream will allow the other series to be worked on in parallel. The other series are:
- The two patches to implement x86 support [2] [3]
- The s390 work [4]
- The perf work [5]
- The ftrace work [6]
- The sframe work [7]
And more is on the way.
The core infrastructure adds the following in kernel APIs:
- int unwind_user_faultable(struct unwind_stacktrace *trace);
Performs a user space stack trace that may fault user pages in.
- int unwind_deferred_init(struct unwind_work *work, unwind_callback_t func);
Allows a tracer to register with the unwind deferred infrastructure.
- int unwind_deferred_request(struct unwind_work *work, u64 *cookie);
Used when a tracer request a deferred trace. Can be called from interrupt or NMI context.
- void unwind_deferred_cancel(struct unwind_work *work);
Called by a tracer to unregister from the deferred unwind infrastructure.
- void unwind_deferred_task_exit(struct task_struct *task);
Called by task exit code to flush any pending unwind requests.
- void unwind_task_init(struct task_struct *task);
Called by do_fork() to initialize the task struct for the deferred unwinder.
- void unwind_task_free(struct task_struct *task);
Called by do_exit() to free up any resources used by the deferred unwinder.
None of the above is actually compiled unless an architecture enables it, which none currently do"

unwind_user: Add user space unwinding API with frame pointer support
Introduce a generic API for unwinding user stacks.
In order to expand user space unwinding to be able to handle more complex scenarios, such as deferred unwinding and reading user space information, create a generic interface that all architectures can use that support the various unwinding methods.
This is an alternative method for handling user space stack traces from the simple stack_trace_save_user() API. This does not replace that interface, but this interface will be used to expand the functionality of user space stack walking.
None of the structures introduced will be exposed to user space tooling.
Support for frame pointer unwinding is added. For an architecture to support frame pointer unwinding it needs to enable CONFIG_HAVE_UNWIND_USER_FP and define ARCH_INIT_USER_FP_FRAME.
By encoding the frame offsets in struct unwind_user_frame, much of this code can also be reused for future unwinder implementations like sframe.
