The 'ld' instruction requires a 4-byte aligned displacement because it
is a DS-form instruction. But the "m" asm constraint doesn't enforce
that.

Add a special case of __get_user_asm2_goto() so that the "YZ" constraint
can be used for "ld".

The "Z" constraint is documented in the GCC manual PowerPC machine
constraints, and specifies a "memory operand accessed with indexed or
indirect addressing". "Y" is not documented in the manual but specifies
a "memory operand for a DS-form instruction". Using both allows the
compiler to generate a DS-form "ld" or X-form "ldx" as appropriate.

The change has to be conditional on CONFIG_PPC_KERNEL_PREFIXED because
the "Y" constraint does not guarantee 4-byte alignment when prefixed
instructions are enabled.

No build errors have been reported due to this, but the possibility is
there depending on compiler code generation decisions.

Building ppc64le_defconfig with GCC 14 fails with assembler errors:

    CC      fs/readdir.o
  /tmp/ccdQn0mD.s: Assembler messages:
  /tmp/ccdQn0mD.s:212: Error: operand out of domain (18 is not a multiple of 4)

  ... [6 lines]
  /tmp/ccdQn0mD.s:1699: Error: operand out of domain (18 is not a multiple of 4)

A snippet of the asm shows:

  # ../fs/readdir.c:210:         unsafe_copy_dirent_name(dirent-&gt;d_name, name, namlen, efault_end);
         ld 9,0(29)       # MEM[(u64 *)name_38(D) + _88 * 1], MEM[(u64 *)name_38(D) + _88 * 1]
  # 210 "../fs/readdir.c" 1
         1:      std 9,18(8)     # put_user       # *__pus_addr_52, MEM[(u64 *)name_38(D) + _88 * 1]

The 'std' instruction requires a 4-byte aligned displacement because
it is a DS-form instruction, and as the assembler says, 18 is not a
multiple of 4.

A similar error is seen with GCC 13 and CONFIG_UBSAN_SIGNED_WRAP=y.

The fix is to change the constraint on the memory operand to put_user(),
from "m" which is a general memory reference to "YZ".

The "Z" constraint is documented in the GCC manual PowerPC machine
constraints, and specifies a "memory operand accessed with indexed or
indirect addressing". "Y" is not documented in the manual but specifies
a "memory operand for a DS-form instruction". Using both allows the
compiler to generate a DS-form "std" or X-form "stdx" as appropriate.

The change has to be conditional on CONFIG_PPC_KERNEL_PREFIXED because
the "Y" constraint does not guarantee 4-byte alignment when prefixed
instructions are enabled.

Unfortunately clang doesn't support the "Y" constraint so that has to be
behind an ifdef.

Although the build error is only seen with GCC 13/14, that appears
to just be luck. The constraint has been incorrect since it was first
added.

Pull tracing cleanup from Steven Rostedt:
 "Remove second argument of __assign_str()

  The __assign_str() macro logic of the TRACE_EVENT() macro was
  optimized so that it no longer needs the second argument. The
  __assign_str() is always matched with __string() field that takes a
  field name and the source for that field:

    __string(field, source)

  The TRACE_EVENT() macro logic will save off the source value and then
  use that value to copy into the ring buffer via the __assign_str().

  Before commit c1fa617caeb0 ("tracing: Rework __assign_str() and
  __string() to not duplicate getting the string"), the __assign_str()
  needed the second argument which would perform the same logic as the
  __string() source parameter did. Not only would this add overhead, but
  it was error prone as if the __assign_str() source produced something
  different, it may not have allocated enough for the string in the ring
  buffer (as the __string() source was used to determine how much to
  allocate)

  Now that the __assign_str() just uses the same string that was used in
  __string() it no longer needs the source parameter. It can now be
  removed"

With the rework of how the __string() handles dynamic strings where it
saves off the source string in field in the helper structure[1], the
assignment of that value to the trace event field is stored in the helper
value and does not need to be passed in again.

This means that with:

  __string(field, mystring)

Which use to be assigned with __assign_str(field, mystring), no longer
needs the second parameter and it is unused. With this, __assign_str()
will now only get a single parameter.

There's over 700 users of __assign_str() and because coccinelle does not
handle the TRACE_EVENT() macro I ended up using the following sed script:

  git grep -l __assign_str | while read a ; do
      sed -e 's/\(__assign_str([^,]*[^ ,]\) *,[^;]*/\1)/' $a &gt; /tmp/test-file;
      mv /tmp/test-file $a;
  done

I then searched for __assign_str() that did not end with ';' as those
were multi line assignments that the sed script above would fail to catch.

Note, the same updates will need to be done for:

  __assign_str_len()
  __assign_rel_str()
  __assign_rel_str_len()

I tested this with both an allmodconfig and an allyesconfig (build only for both).

PowerPC provides an equivalent to the common kernel-mode FPU API, but in a
different header and using different function names.  The PowerPC API also
requires a non-preemptible context.  Add a wrapper header, and export the
CFLAGS adjustments.

Pull mm updates from Andrew Morton:
 "The usual shower of singleton fixes and minor series all over MM,
  documented (hopefully adequately) in the respective changelogs.
  Notable series include:

   - Lucas Stach has provided some page-mapping cleanup/consolidation/
     maintainability work in the series "mm/treewide: Remove pXd_huge()
     API".

   - In the series "Allow migrate on protnone reference with
     MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy", Donet Tom has optimized mempolicy's
     MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY mode, yielding almost doubled performance in
     one test.

   - In their series "Memory allocation profiling" Kent Overstreet and
     Suren Baghdasaryan have contributed a means of determining (via
     /proc/allocinfo) whereabouts in the kernel memory is being
     allocated: number of calls and amount of memory.

   - Matthew Wilcox has provided the series "Various significant MM
     patches" which does a number of rather unrelated things, but in
     largely similar code sites.

   - In his series "mm: page_alloc: freelist migratetype hygiene"
     Johannes Weiner has fixed the page allocator's handling of
     migratetype requests, with resulting improvements in compaction
     efficiency.

   - In the series "make the hugetlb migration strategy consistent"
     Baolin Wang has fixed a hugetlb migration issue, which should
     improve hugetlb allocation reliability.

   - Liu Shixin has hit an I/O meltdown caused by readahead in a
     memory-tight memcg. Addressed in the series "Fix I/O high when
     memory almost met memcg limit".

   - In the series "mm/filemap: optimize folio adding and splitting"
     Kairui Song has optimized pagecache insertion, yielding ~10%
     performance improvement in one test.

   - Baoquan He has cleaned up and consolidated the early zone
     initialization code in the series "mm/mm_init.c: refactor
     free_area_init_core()".

   - Baoquan has also redone some MM initializatio code in the series
     "mm/init: minor clean up and improvement".

   - MM helper cleanups from Christoph Hellwig in his series "remove
     follow_pfn".

   - More cleanups from Matthew Wilcox in the series "Various
     page-&gt;flags cleanups".

   - Vlastimil Babka has contributed maintainability improvements in the
     series "memcg_kmem hooks refactoring".

   - More folio conversions and cleanups in Matthew Wilcox's series:
	"Convert huge_zero_page to huge_zero_folio"
	"khugepaged folio conversions"
	"Remove page_idle and page_young wrappers"
	"Use folio APIs in procfs"
	"Clean up __folio_put()"
	"Some cleanups for memory-failure"
	"Remove page_mapping()"
	"More folio compat code removal"

   - David Hildenbrand chipped in with "fs/proc/task_mmu: convert
     hugetlb functions to work on folis".

   - Code consolidation and cleanup work related to GUP's handling of
     hugetlbs in Peter Xu's series "mm/gup: Unify hugetlb, part 2".

   - Rick Edgecombe has developed some fixes to stack guard gaps in the
     series "Cover a guard gap corner case".

   - Jinjiang Tu has fixed KSM's behaviour after a fork+exec in the
     series "mm/ksm: fix ksm exec support for prctl".

   - Baolin Wang has implemented NUMA balancing for multi-size THPs.
     This is a simple first-cut implementation for now. The series is
     "support multi-size THP numa balancing".

   - Cleanups to vma handling helper functions from Matthew Wilcox in
     the series "Unify vma_address and vma_pgoff_address".

   - Some selftests maintenance work from Dev Jain in the series
     "selftests/mm: mremap_test: Optimizations and style fixes".

   - Improvements to the swapping of multi-size THPs from Ryan Roberts
     in the series "Swap-out mTHP without splitting".

   - Kefeng Wang has significantly optimized the handling of arm64's
     permission page faults in the series
	"arch/mm/fault: accelerate pagefault when badaccess"
	"mm: remove arch's private VM_FAULT_BADMAP/BADACCESS"

   - GUP cleanups from David Hildenbrand in "mm/gup: consistently call
     it GUP-fast".

     path to use struct vm_fault".

   - selftests build fixes from John Hubbard in the series "Fix
     selftests/mm build without requiring "make headers"".

   - Memory tiering fixes/improvements from Ho-Ren (Jack) Chuang in the
     series "Improved Memory Tier Creation for CPUless NUMA Nodes".
     Fixes the initialization code so that migration between different
     memory types works as intended.

   - David Hildenbrand has improved follow_pte() and fixed an errant
     driver in the series "mm: follow_pte() improvements and acrn
     follow_pte() fixes".

   - David also did some cleanup work on large folio mapcounts in his
     series "mm: mapcount for large folios + page_mapcount() cleanups".

   - Folio conversions in KSM in Alex Shi's series "transfer page to
     folio in KSM".

   - Barry Song has added some sysfs stats for monitoring multi-size
     THP's in the series "mm: add per-order mTHP alloc and swpout
     counters".

   - Some zswap cleanups from Yosry Ahmed in the series "zswap
     same-filled and limit checking cleanups".

   - Matthew Wilcox has been looking at buffer_head code and found the
     documentation to be lacking. The series is "Improve buffer head
     documentation".

   - Multi-size THPs get more work, this time from Lance Yang. His
     series "mm/madvise: enhance lazyfreeing with mTHP in madvise_free"
     optimizes the freeing of these things.

   - Kemeng Shi has added more userspace-visible writeback
     instrumentation in the series "Improve visibility of writeback".

     "Fix and cleanups to page-writeback".

   - Matthew Wilcox reduces mmap_lock traffic in the anon vma code in
     the series "Improve anon_vma scalability for anon VMAs". Intel's
     test bot reported an improbable 3x improvement in one test.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - Enable BPF Kernel Functions (kfuncs) in the powerpc BPF JIT.

 - Allow per-process DEXCR (Dynamic Execution Control Register) settings
   via prctl, notably NPHIE which controls hashst/hashchk for ROP
   protection.

 - Install powerpc selftests in sub-directories. Note this changes the
   way run_kselftest.sh needs to be invoked for powerpc selftests.

 - Change fadump (Firmware Assisted Dump) to better handle memory
   add/remove.

 - Add support for passing additional parameters to the fadump kernel.

 - Add support for updating the kdump image on CPU/memory add/remove
   events.

 - Other small features, cleanups and fixes.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - Enable BPF Kernel Functions (kfuncs) in the powerpc BPF JIT.

 - Allow per-process DEXCR (Dynamic Execution Control Register) settings
   via prctl, notably NPHIE which controls hashst/hashchk for ROP
   protection.

 - Install powerpc selftests in sub-directories. Note this changes the
   way run_kselftest.sh needs to be invoked for powerpc selftests.

 - Change fadump (Firmware Assisted Dump) to better handle memory
   add/remove.

 - Add support for passing additional parameters to the fadump kernel.

 - Add support for updating the kdump image on CPU/memory add/remove
   events.

 - Other small features, cleanups and fixes.

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "ARM:

   - Move a lot of state that was previously stored on a per vcpu basis
     into a per-CPU area, because it is only pertinent to the host while
     the vcpu is loaded. This results in better state tracking, and a
     smaller vcpu structure.

   - Add full handling of the ERET/ERETAA/ERETAB instructions in nested
     virtualisation. The last two instructions also require emulating
     part of the pointer authentication extension. As a result, the trap
     handling of pointer authentication has been greatly simplified.

   - Turn the global (and not very scalable) LPI translation cache into
     a per-ITS, scalable cache, making non directly injected LPIs much
     cheaper to make visible to the vcpu.

   - A batch of pKVM patches, mostly fixes and cleanups, as the
     upstreaming process seems to be resuming. Fingers crossed!

   - Allocate PPIs and SGIs outside of the vcpu structure, allowing for
     smaller EL2 mapping and some flexibility in implementing more or
     less than 32 private IRQs.

   - Purge stale mpidr_data if a vcpu is created after the MPIDR map has
     been created.

   - Preserve vcpu-specific ID registers across a vcpu reset.

   - Various minor cleanups and improvements.

  LoongArch:

   - Add ParaVirt IPI support

   - Add software breakpoint support

   - Add mmio trace events support

  RISC-V:

   - Support guest breakpoints using ebreak

   - Introduce per-VCPU mp_state_lock and reset_cntx_lock

   - Virtualize SBI PMU snapshot and counter overflow interrupts

   - New selftests for SBI PMU and Guest ebreak

   - Some preparatory work for both TDX and SNP page fault handling.

     This also cleans up the page fault path, so that the priorities of
     various kinds of fauls (private page, no memory, write to read-only
     slot, etc.) are easier to follow.

  x86:

   - Minimize amount of time that shadow PTEs remain in the special
     REMOVED_SPTE state.

     This is a state where the mmu_lock is held for reading but
     concurrent accesses to the PTE have to spin; shortening its use
     allows other vCPUs to repopulate the zapped region while the zapper
     finishes tearing down the old, defunct page tables.

   - Advertise the max mappable GPA in the "guest MAXPHYADDR" CPUID
     field, which is defined by hardware but left for software use.

     This lets KVM communicate its inability to map GPAs that set bits
     51:48 on hosts without 5-level nested page tables. Guest firmware
     is expected to use the information when mapping BARs; this avoids
     that they end up at a legal, but unmappable, GPA.

   - Fixed a bug where KVM would not reject accesses to MSR that aren't
     supposed to exist given the vCPU model and/or KVM configuration.

   - As usual, a bunch of code cleanups.

  x86 (AMD):

   - Implement a new and improved API to initialize SEV and SEV-ES VMs,
     which will also be extendable to SEV-SNP.

     The new API specifies the desired encryption in KVM_CREATE_VM and
     then separately initializes the VM. The new API also allows
     customizing the desired set of VMSA features; the features affect
     the measurement of the VM's initial state, and therefore enabling
     them cannot be done tout court by the hypervisor.

     While at it, the new API includes two bugfixes that couldn't be
     applied to the old one without a flag day in userspace or without
     affecting the initial measurement. When a SEV-ES VM is created with
     the new VM type, KVM_GET_REGS/KVM_SET_REGS and friends are rejected
     once the VMSA has been encrypted. Also, the FPU and AVX state will
     be synchronized and encrypted too.

   - Support for GHCB version 2 as applicable to SEV-ES guests.

     This, once more, is only accessible when using the new
     KVM_SEV_INIT2 flow for initialization of SEV-ES VMs.

  x86 (Intel):

   - An initial bunch of prerequisite patches for Intel TDX were merged.

     They generally don't do anything interesting. The only somewhat
     user visible change is a new debugging mode that checks that KVM's
     MMU never triggers a #VE virtualization exception in the guest.

   - Clear vmcs.EXIT_QUALIFICATION when synthesizing an EPT Misconfig
     VM-Exit to L1, as per the SDM.

  Generic:

   - Use vfree() instead of kvfree() for allocations that always use
     vcalloc() or __vcalloc().

   - Remove .change_pte() MMU notifier - the changes to non-KVM code are
     small and Andrew Morton asked that I also take those through the
     KVM tree.

     The callback was only ever implemented by KVM (which was also the
     original user of MMU notifiers) but it had been nonfunctional ever
     since calls to set_pte_at_notify were wrapped with
     invalidate_range_start and invalidate_range_end... in 2012.

  Selftests:

   - Enhance the demand paging test to allow for better reporting and
     stressing of UFFD performance.

   - Convert the steal time test to generate TAP-friendly output.

   - Fix a flaky false positive in the xen_shinfo_test due to comparing
     elapsed time across two different clock domains.

   - Skip the MONITOR/MWAIT test if the host doesn't actually support
     MWAIT.

   - Avoid unnecessary use of "sudo" in the NX hugepage test wrapper
     shell script, to play nice with running in a minimal userspace
     environment.

   - Allow skipping the RSEQ test's sanity check that the vCPU was able
     to complete a reasonable number of KVM_RUNs, as the assert can fail
     on a completely valid setup.

     If the test is run on a large-ish system that is otherwise idle,
     and the test isn't affined to a low-ish number of CPUs, the vCPU
     task can be repeatedly migrated to CPUs that are in deep sleep
     states, which results in the vCPU having very little net runtime
     before the next migration due to high wakeup latencies.

   - Define _GNU_SOURCE for all selftests to fix a warning that was
     introduced by a change to kselftest_harness.h late in the 6.9
     cycle, and because forcing every test to #define _GNU_SOURCE is
     painful.

   - Provide a global pseudo-RNG instance for all tests, so that library
     code can generate random, but determinstic numbers.

   - Use the global pRNG to randomly force emulation of select writes
     from guest code on x86, e.g. to help validate KVM's emulation of
     locked accesses.

   - Allocate and initialize x86's GDT, IDT, TSS, segments, and default
     exception handlers at VM creation, instead of forcing tests to
     manually trigger the related setup.

   - Fix a goof in the KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD documentation"
