"mm/damon: refactor damon_{start,stop,commit}() for simple error handling" (SJ Park) Refactor the DAMON core API functions to guarantee that all contexts are fully stopped when damon_start(), damon_stop(), or damon_commit() fail, eliminating the need for complex and error-prone caller-side cleanup code - "Keep tail page private zero at free and folio split" (Zi Yan) Add checks to ensure tail_page->private is zero when freeing compound or high-order pages and when promoting tail pages during large folio splits. By validating these fields at free and split time, it allows the removal of redundant private field clearing inside prep_compound_tail() - "mm: drop redundant lru_add_drain in anon folio reuse paths" (Barry Song) Eliminate redundant lru_add_drain() calls in wp_can_reuse_anon_folio() and do_swap_page() to reduce LRU lock contention and system overhead By validating folio refcounts against the LRU cache before draining and removing unnecessary drains in the swap path, it achieves up to a 30.5% reduction in drain calls during heavy swap workloads - "mm: clean up folio LRU and swap declarations" (Jianyue Wu) Reorganize folio LRU and swap code by relocating page-cluster state to mm/swap_state.c, renaming mm/swap.c to mm/folio.c, and moving MM-internal reclaim declarations into mm/internal.h. - "userfaultfd: working set tracking for VM guest memory" (Kiryl Shutsemau) Add userfaultfd support for tracking the working set of VM guest memory, so a VMM can identify hot pages and reclaim cold ones to tiered or remote storage - "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part 2)" (David Hildenbrand) Remove the remaining pieces of CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE, performing some smaller cleanups around freeing of reserved vmemmap pages on the way. - "mm/damon: update probe hits for runtime parameter commits" (SJ Park) Ensure that DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter is properly updated when monitoring intervals are changed at runtime, matching the behavior of nr_accesses. To achieve this, it refactors and renames existing helper functions for shared use, applies the updates to probe_hits, and handles edge cases in damon_probe_hits_mvsum() to maintain measurement accuracy. - "KSM: performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm" (xu xin) Resolve a severe KSM reverse-mapping performance bottleneck where thousands of split VMAs sharing a single anon_vma cause extended lock contention. By adding an interval-filtering check during the rmap walk, it reduces worst-case anon_vma lock hold times from over 500ms down to under 2ms, preventing application freezes and latency spikes under memory pressure. - "mm: split a couple of headers from internal.h" (Mike Rapoport) Split declarations related to mm_init, memblock, vmalloc and sparse into new headers - "KSM: use linear_page_index in collect_procs_ksm()" (xu xin) Apply the interval tree optimization from rmap_walk_ksm() to collect_procs_ksm() to avoid iterating over non-matching VMAs during KSM memory error handling. It hoists loop-invariant address initialization and restricts the anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach walk to a targeted page offset range, reducing redundant checks and improving lookup efficiency. - "selftests/mm: avoid false failures in hugetlb and KSM tests" (Sayali Patil) Fix issues in the hugetlb and KSM MM selftest categories that can report failures when the prerequisites for the tests are not satisfied - "mm/damon: introduce data attributes only monitoring" (SJ Park) Introduce attribute-weighted region management in DAMON, allowing users to prioritize specific data attributes (such as page sizes or cgroups) over or instead of access monitoring. By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely disable access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on weighted probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for attribute-focused workloads. - "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for userfaultfd-backed mappings" (Stanislav Kinsburskii) Extend hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by allowing the mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new hmm_range_fault_locked() helper. By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd regions while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers. - "mm: make VMA page offset handling more consistent" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Clean up and standardize how vma->vm_pgoff is accessed and manipulated across file-backed and anonymous mappings in the kernel It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(), vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while renaming rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their functionality. These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that will unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd folios. - "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" (Usama Arif) Address kernel panics and state corruption caused by MM walk callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries created during HMM migrations It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock() properly recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present THP or a standard migration entry. - "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" (Dev Jain) Refactor try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb, anonymous-lazyfree, and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated functions, laying the structural groundwork for batched anonymous large folio unmapping. - "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and additions" (Song Hu) Fix typos and fills in missing entries in the DAMON sysfs ABI document - "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs" (Gregory Price) Introduce an atomic sysfs state attribute and supporting DAX/MM infrastructure to prevent userland races when offlining and removing entire memory regions By adding an unplugged state alongside standard online modes, it enables whole-device atomic hotplug control while preserving backward compatibility. - "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Continue transitioning the kernel from the deprecated vm_flags_t type to vma_flags_t across core memory management infrastructure. It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(), unmapped area allocation, mm->def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like mlock, mprotect, and mremap. - "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" (xu xin) Refactor mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify duplicate slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM. It also adds code documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions. - "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields" (SJ Park) Clean up DAMON core structures by consistently marking internal-only fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper direct access from outer layers. It enforces encapsulation across core structures including damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct members. - "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races" (SJ Park) Address potential infinite loops, NULL dereferences, and race conditions identified in DAMON It fixes an infinite loop triggered by extreme user configurations, a NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races. - "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on RT/UP" (Brendan Jackman) Fix an NMI safety flaw in __free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks via non-PCP or isolated migration paths. It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory hotplug or large allocation frees. - "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent cleanups" (Brendan Jackman) Clean up and update page allocator nomenclature, documentation, and debug assertions. It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete VM_BUG_ON() assertions in allocation paths. - "mm/mseal: further cleanups" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Refactor and simplify the mseal implementation by clarifying API boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity. It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO, eliminates mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only to current->mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no functional changes intended. - "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive reclaim" (Ridong Chen) Resolve reclaim behavior bugs and clean up function parameters across memory reclaim paths It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead of collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete gfp_mask parameter from __node_reclaim(). - "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" (Kefeng Wang) Clean up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it removes the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP pages as non-resident. - "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants" (Kiryl Shutsemau) Two trivial cleanups in the folio split API - "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit exec expectation bugs" (SJ Park) Resolve minor operational and testing bugs in DAMON identified by Sashiko. It initializes the damos->last_applied field to prevent occasional efficiency degradation and fixes invalid memory accesses in DAMON KUnit tests during test failure handling. - "cleanup for stable_page_flags()" (Jinjiang Tu) Clean up and refactor stable_page_flags() used by /proc/kpageflags without altering functionality. It uses BIT_ULL() to prevent shift-overflow warnings on 64-bit flag bits, converts folio-specific flag checks to standard folio_test_*() helpers, and removes redundant CONFIG_PAGE_IDLE_FLAG handling. - "Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios" (Dev Jain) Extend batched folio unmapping support to file folios within userfaultfd write-protect (uffd-wp) VMAs by adding batching capabilities to pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed(). This removes special-case restrictions on uffd-wp VMAs in try_to_unmap_one(), significantly simplifying the function's control flow and complexity. - "mm/early_ioremap: clarify and clean up early_ioremap_reset()" (Sang-Heon Jeon) Clarify and clean up the architecture-specific usage of __late_set_fixmap() and __late_clear_fixmap() after early_ioremap_reset() It adds explicit documentation regarding when early_ioremap_reset() must be called and removes redundant macro definitions and reset calls in the RISC-V and ARM64 architectures. - "mm: fix reclaim storms in defrag_mode" (Johannes Weiner) Address severe performance regressions, swap storms, and spurious OOMs caused by vm.defrag_mode=1 under high memory pressure in Meta production It updates the page allocator slowpath so non-movable allocation requests actively trigger direct reclaim and direct compaction at pageblock_order scale, allowing them to claim whole pageblocks rather than spinning unproductively. - "zram: lockmap tweaks" (Sebastian Siewior) Optimize and fix lockdep tracking for zram devices by consolidating per-entry lockmaps and isolate lock classes across multiple instances This reduces memory overhead by replacing per-entry lockdep_map instances with a single map per struct zram, and assigns a dynamic lock_class_key to each instance to prevent false deadlock reports when different zram devices are backed by distinct filesystems. * tag 'mm-stable-2026-08-18-18-39' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (501 commits) selftests/mm: thuge-gen: fix test_shmget() for PAGE_SIZE check selftests/mm: unpoison pages in memory-failure teardown mm/shmem: downgrade final i_blocks check in shmem_evict_inode() to pr_warn() mm/khugepaged: replace mutex_lock/mutex_unlock usage with guard macro mm/zsmalloc: fix release order of locks in zs_page_migrate() Documentation: zram: remove sections numbering ksm: stop iterating VMAs when ksm_test_exit returns true mm: fold userfaultfd_rwp() to false without CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_PROTNONE mm/migrate: report RCU-tasks quiescent states in migrate_pages_batch() zram: use a custom key for each zram object zram: move lockmap to be per-zram instead per table selftests/mm: fix gup_longterm EINVAL error message mm: page_alloc: fix non-movable reclaim storm in defrag_mode mm: page_alloc: move capture_control to the page allocator mm: compaction: support non-movable compaction for pageblock requests mm: page_alloc: __GFP_FS lockdep annotation for direct compaction hugetlb: evaluate subpool free state while locked mm/damon: remove trailing semicolons after function definitions mm/damon/ops-common: prevent migration fallback to non-target nodes mm/damon: update outdated comment about DAMOS filter handling ...

2026-07-30x86/virt: use higher-level allocator APIBrendan Jackman
The difference between __alloc_pages_node() and alloc_pages_node() is that the latter allows you to pass NUMA_NO_NODE. The former is going away and the latter works fine here so switch over.

2026-07-07x86/virt/sev: Revert "Drop WBINVD before setting MSR_AMD64_SYSCFG_SNP_EN"Tycho Andersen (AMD)
Revert 99cf1fb58e68 ("x86/virt/sev: Drop WBINVD before setting MSR_AMD64_SYSCFG_SNP_EN"). Section 8.8 of the SNP spec says: Before invoking SNP_INIT_EX with INIT_RMP set to 1, software must ensure that no CPUs contain dirty cache lines for the memory containing the RMP. Cachelines can be moved from cache to cache in a dirty state. The wbinvd_on_all_cpus() before SNP_INIT_EX flushes the caches for each CPU, but if the IPIs for WBINVD race with this dirty cacheline movement, it is possible that they may not get flushed, violating the firmware requirement. Doing wbinvd_on_all_cpus() before setting SNPEn is safer since the RMP table is not yet in use.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini: "arm64: This is a bit of an odd merge window on the KVM/arm64 front. There is absolutely no new feature in the pull request. It is purely fixes, because it is simply becoming too hard to review new stuff when so many AI-fuelled fixes hit the list. - Significant cleanup of the vgic-v5 PPI support which was merged in 7.1. This makes the code more maintainable, and squashes a couple of bugs in the meantime - Set of fixes for the handling of the MMU in an NV context, particularly VNCR-triggered faults. S1POE support is fixed as well - Large set of pKVM fixes, mostly addressing recurring issues around hypervisor tracking of donated pages in obscure cases where the donation could fail and leave things in a bizarre state - Fixes for the so-called "lazy vgic init", which resulted in sleeping operations in non-preemptible sections. This turned out to be far more invasive than initially expected.. - Reduce the overhead of L1/L2 context switch by not touching the FP registers - Fix the way non-implemented page sizes are dealt with when a guest insist on using them for S2 translation - The usual set of low-impact fixes and cleanups all over the map Loongarch: - On a request for lazy FPU load, load all FPU state that the VM supports instead of enabling only the part (FPU, LSX or LASX) that caused the FPU load request - Some enhancements about interrupt injection - Some bug fixes and other small changes RISC-V: - Batch G-stage TLB flushes for GPA range based page table updates - Convert HGEI line management to fully per-HART - Fix missing CSR dirty marking when FWFT state updated via ONE_REG - Fix stale FWFT feature exposure to Guest/VM - Speed up dirty logging write faults using MMU rwlock and atomic PTE updates using cmpxchg() for permission-only changes - Use flexible array for APLIC IRQ state - Use kvm_slot_dirty_track_enabled() for logging enable check on a memslot - Avoid skipping valid pages in kvm_riscv_gstage_wp_range() - Avoid skipping valid pages in kvm_riscv_gstage_unmap_range() - Use endian-specific __lelong for NACL shared memory S390: - KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY support - Support for 2G hugepages - Support for the ASTFLEIE 2 facility - Support for fast inject using kvm_arch_set_irq_inatomic - Fix potential leak of uninitialized bytes - A few more misc gmap fixes x86: - Generic support for the more granular permissions allowed by EPT, namely "read" (which was previously usurping the U bit) and separate execution bits for kernel and userspace - Do not assume that all page tables start with U=1/W=1/NX=0 at the root, as AMD GMET needs to have U=0 at the root - Introduce common assembly macros for use within Intel and AMD vendor-specific vmentry code. This touches the SPEC_CTRL handling, which is now entirely done in assembly for Intel (by reusing the AMD code that already existed), and register save/restore which uses some macro magic to compute the offsets in the struct. Both of these are preparatory changes for upcoming APX support - Clean up KVM's register tracking and storage, primarily to prepare for APX support, which expands the maximum number of GPRs from 16 to 32 - Keep a single copy of the PDPTRs rather than two, since architecturally there is just one - Handle EXIT_FASTPATH_EXIT_USERSPACE in vendor code to ensure vendor code gets a chance to handle things like reaping the PML buffer - Update KVM's view of PV async enabling if and only if the MSR write fully succeeds - Fix a variety of issues where the emulator doesn't honor guest-debug state, and clean up related code along the way - Synthesize EPT Violation and #NPF "error code" bits when injecting faults into L1 that didn't originate in hardware (in which case the VMCS/VMCB doesn't hold relevant information) - Add support for virtualizing (well, emulating) AMD's flavor of CPL>0 CPUID faulting - Clean up the GPR APIs so that KVM's use of "raw" is consistent, and fix a variety of minor bugs along the way - Fix an OOB memory access due to not checking the VP ID when handling a Hyper-V PV TLB flush for L2 - Fix a bug in the mediated PMU's handling of fixed counters that allowed the guest to bypass the PMU event filter - Allow userspace to return EAGAIN when handling SNP and TDX hypercalls, so the KVM can forward a "retry" status code to the guest, and reserve all unused error codes for future usage - Overhaul the TDP MMU => S-EPT code to move as much S-EPT specific logic as possible into the TDX code, and to funnel (almost) all S-EPT updates into a single chokepoint. The motivation is largely to prepare for upcoming Dynamic PAMT support, but the cleanups are nice to have on their own - Plug a hole in shadow page table handling, where KVM fails to recursively zap nested EPT/NPT shadow page tables when the nested hypervisor tears down its own EPT/NPT page tables from the bottom up x86 (Intel): - Support for nested MBEC (Mode-Based Execute Control), see above in the generic section; also run with MBEC enabled even for non-nested mode - Use the kernel's "enum pg_level" in the TDX APIs instead of the TDX-Module's level definitions (which are 0-based) - Rework the TDX memory APIs to not require/assume that guest memory is backed by "struct page" (in prepartion for guest_memfd hugepage support) - Fix a largely benign bug where KVM TDX would incorrectly state it could emulate several x2APIC MSRs - Use the "safe" WRMSR API when proxying LBR MSR writes as the to-be-written value is guest controlled and completely unvalidated x86 (AMD): - Support for nested GMET (Guest Mode Execution Trap), see above in the generic section; also run with GMET enabled even for non-nested mode - Fixes and minor cleanups to GHCB handling, on top of the earlier work already merged into 7.1-rc - Ensure KVM's copy of CR0 and CR3 are up-to-date prior to invoking fastpath handlers - Add support for virtualizing gPAT (KVM previously just used L1's PAT when running L2) - Fix goofs where KVM mishandles side effects (e.g. single-step and PMC updates) when emulating VMRUN - Fix a variety of bugs in AVIC's handling of x2APIC MSR interception, most notably where KVM didn't disable interception of IRR, ISR, and TMR regs - Add support for virtualizing Host-Only/Guest-Only bits in the mediated PMU - Don't advertise support for unusable VM types, and account for VM types that are disabled by firmware, e.g. to mitigate security vulnerabilities - Rewrite the SEV {en,de}crypt debug ioctls as they were riddle with bugs and unnecessarily complicated, and add comprehensive tests - Clean up and deduplicate the SEV page pinning code - Fix minor goofs related to writing back CPUID information after firmware rejects a CPUID page for an SNP vCPU Generic: - Rename invalidate_begin() to invalidate_start() throughout KVM to follow the kernel's nomenclature, e.g. for mmu_notifiers - Use guard() to cleanup up various KVM+VFIO flows - Minor cleanups guest_memfd: - Return -EEXIST instead of -EINVAL if userspace attempts to bind a gmem range to multiple memslots, and fix the test that was supposed to ensure KVM returns -EEXIST - Treat memslot binding offsets and sizes as unsigned values to fix a bug where KVM interprets a large "offset + size" as a negative value and allows a nonsensical offset - Use the inode number instead of the page offset for the NUMA interleaving index to fix a bug where the effective index would jump by two for consecutive pages (the caller also adds in the page offset) Selftests: - Randomize the dirty log test's delay when reaping the bitmap on the first pass, as always waiting only 1ms hid a KVM RISC-V bug as the test reaped the bitmap before KVM could build up enough state to hit the bug - A pile of one-off fixes and cleanups" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (326 commits) KVM: x86/mmu: Ensure hugepage is in by slot before checking max mapping level KVM: x86: Fix shadow paging use-after-free due to unexpected role KVM: s390: Introducing kvm_arch_set_irq_inatomic fast inject KVM: s390: Enable adapter_indicators_set to use mapped pages KVM: s390: Add map/unmap ioctl and clean mappings post-guest riscv: kvm: Use endian-specific __lelong for NACL shared memory KVM: selftests: access_tracking_perf_test: bump number of NUMA nodes to 32 KVM: s390: vsie: Implement ASTFLEIE facility 2 KVM: s390: vsie: Refactor handle_stfle s390/sclp: Detect ASTFLEIE 2 facility KVM: s390: Minor refactor of base/ext facility lists KVM: x86/mmu: move pdptrs out of the MMU KVM: x86: check that kvm_handle_invpcid is only invoked with shadow paging KVM: nSVM: invalidate cached PDPTRs across nested NPT transitions KVM: nVMX: remove unnecessary code in prepare_vmcs02_rare KVM: x86: remove nested_mmu from mmu_is_nested() KVM: arm64: vgic-its: Make ABI commit helpers return void KVM: s390: Initialize KVM_S390_GET_CMMA_BITS memory LoongArch: KVM: Add missing slots_lock for device register/unregister LoongArch: KVM: Validate irqchip index in irqfd routing ...

2026-06-03x86/virt/tdx: Refresh TDX module version after updateChao Gao
The kernel exposes the TDX module version through sysfs so userspace can check update compatibility. That information needs to remain accurate across runtime updates. A runtime update may change the module's update_version, so refresh the cached version right after a successful update. Drop __ro_after_init from tdx_sysinfo because it is now updated at runtime. Do not refresh the rest of tdx_sysinfo, even if some values change across updates. TDX module updates are backward compatible, so existing tdx_sysinfo consumers, such as KVM, can continue to operate without seeing the new values.

TDX metadata like the version number changes during a module update. Add functions to lock out module updates. The current stop_machine() implementation uses worker threads.

2026-06-03x86/virt/tdx: Restore TDX module stateChao Gao
After per-CPU initialization, the module is nearly functional. It is in a similar state to TDX initialization before TDH.SYS.CONFIG. At this point, the kernel _could_ just repeat the boot-time sequence, but that would land the new module in a slightly different state than the old module. This would leave old TDs unrunnable, which is not a good outcome. Thankfully, the "handoff" data saved during module shutdown should contain all the information needed to restore the TDX module state to exactly what it was before the update. Restore TDX module state. The TDX module only needs a single copy so only do this on the lead CPU. Restoration errors can theoretically be handled in a few ways. For instance, userspace could try to load a different TDX module version. Or, the kernel could give up on the handoff process and just reinitialize the new module from scratch, which would lose all existing TDs. Simply propagate errors to userspace. Ignore the idea of a TD-destroying reinitialization. It would destroy data like a reboot and if things have gone that wrong a reboot is probably the best option anyway. Note: the location and the format of handoff data is defined by the TDX module. The new module knows where to get handoff data and how to parse it. The kernel does not touch it at all.

2026-06-03x86/virt/seamldr: Initialize the newly-installed TDX moduleChao Gao
Continue fleshing out the update process. At this point the new module is sitting in memory but has never been called and is not usable. It is in a similar state to the when the system first boots. Leave the P-SEAMLDR behind. Stop making calls to it. Transition to calling the new TDX module itself to set up both global and per-cpu state. Share tdx_cpu_enable() with the fresh-boot module initialization code. Export it and invoke it on all CPUs. Note: "TDX global initialization" needs to be done once before "TDX per-CPU initialization". It would be a great fit for the new runtime update "is_lead_cpu" logic. But tdx_cpu_enable() already has some logic to do the global initialization properly. Just use it directly to maximize fresh-boot and runtime update code sharing. == Background == The boot-time and post-update initialization flows share the same first steps: - TDX global initialization - TDX per-CPU initialization After that, they diverge: - Fresh boot: Prepare TDMRs/PAMTs Configure the TDX module Configure the global KeyID Initialize TDMRs - Runtime update: Restore TDX module state from handoff data Future changes will consume the handoff data.

2026-06-03x86/virt/seamldr: Shut down the current TDX moduleChao Gao
The first step of TDX module updates is shutting down the current TDX module. This step also packs state information that needs to be preserved across updates, called "handoff data". This handoff data is consumed by the updated module and stored internally in the SEAM range and hidden from the kernel. Since the handoff data layout may change between modules, the handoff data is versioned. Each module has a native handoff version and provides backward support for several older versions. The complete handoff versioning protocol is complex as it supports both module upgrades and downgrades. See details in "Intel Trust Domain Extensions (Intel TDX) Module Base Architecture Specification", Chapter "Handoff Versioning". Ideally, the kernel needs to retrieve the handoff versions supported by the current module and the new module and select a version supported by both. But since this implementation only supports module upgrades, simply request handoff data from the current module using its highest supported version. That is sufficient for this upgrade-only implementation. Retrieve the module's handoff version from TDX global metadata and add an update step to shut down the module. Module shutdown only needs to run on one CPU. Don't cache the handoff information in tdx_sysinfo. It is used only for module shutdown, and is present only when the TDX module supports updates. Caching it in get_tdx_sys_info() would require extra update-support guards and refreshing the cached value across module updates. [ dhansen: fix up function variables, remove 'cpu'.

2026-06-03x86/virt/seamldr: Abort updates after a failed stepChao Gao
A TDX module update is a multi-step process, and any step can fail. The current update flow continues to later steps after an error. Continuing after a failure can cause the TDX module to enter an unrecoverable state. But certain failures during the initial module shutdown step should simply return an error to userspace, so the update can be retried cleanly. To preserve that recoverability, one option would be to abort the update only for those failures, since they occur before any TDX module state is changed. But special-casing specific failures in specific steps would complicate the do-while() update loop for no benefit. Simply abort update on any failure, at any step. Track failures for each step, stop the update loop once a failure is observed, and do not advance the state machine to the next step.

2026-06-03x86/virt/seamldr: Introduce skeleton for TDX module updatesChao Gao
tl;dr: Use stop_machine() and a state machine based on the "MULTI_STOP" pattern to implement core TDX module update logic. Long version: TDX module updates require careful synchronization with other TDX operations. The requirements are (#1/#2 reflect current behavior that must be preserved): 1. SEAMCALLs need to be callable from both process and IRQ contexts. 2. SEAMCALLs need to be able to run concurrently across CPUs 3. During updates, only update-related SEAMCALLs are permitted; all other SEAMCALLs shouldn't be called. 4. During updates, all online CPUs must participate in the update work. No single lock primitive satisfies all requirements. For instance, rwlock_t handles #1/#2 but fails #4: CPUs spinning with IRQs disabled cannot be directed to perform update work. Use stop_machine() as it is the only well-understood mechanism that can meet all requirements. And TDX module updates consist of several steps (See Intel Trust Domain Extensions (Intel TDX) Module Base Architecture Specification, Chapter "TD-Preserving TDX module Update"). Ordering requirements between steps mandate lockstep synchronization across all CPUs. multi_cpu_stop() provides a good example of executing a multi-step task in lockstep across CPUs, but it does not synchronize the individual steps inside the callback itself. Implement a similar state machine as the skeleton for TDX module updates. Each state represents one step in the update flow, and the state advances only after all CPUs acknowledge completion of the current step. This acknowledgment mechanism provides the required lockstep execution. The update flow is intentionally simpler than multi_cpu_stop() in two ways: a) use a spinlock to protect the control data instead of atomic_t and explicit memory barriers. b) omit touch_nmi_watchdog() and rcu_momentary_eqs(), which exist there for debugging and are not strictly needed for this update flow Potential alternative to stop_machine() ======================================= An alternative approach is to lock all KVM entry points and kick all vCPUs. Here, KVM entry points refer to KVM VM/vCPU ioctl entry points, implemented in KVM common code (virt/kvm). Adding a locking mechanism there would affect all architectures KVM supports. And to lock only TDX vCPUs, new logic would be needed to identify TDX vCPUs, which the KVM common code currently lacks. This would add significant complexity and maintenance overhead to KVM for this TDX-specific use case, so don't take this approach.

2026-06-03x86/virt/seamldr: Allocate and populate a module update requestChao Gao
There are two important ABIs here: 'struct tdx_image' - The on-disk and in-memory format for a TDX module update image. 'struct seamldr_params' - The in-memory ABI passed to the TDX module loader. Points to a single 'struct tdx_image' broken up into 4k pages. Userspace supplies the update image in 'struct tdx_image' format. The image consists of a header followed by a sigstruct and the module binary. P-SEAMLDR, however, consumes 'struct seamldr_params' rather than the image directly. Parse the 'struct tdx_image' provided by userspace and populate a matching 'struct seamldr_params'. The 'tdx_image' ABI is versioned. Two public versions exist today: 0x100 and 0x200. This kernel only accepts 0x200. The older 0x100 format is being deprecated and is intentionally not supported here. Future versions of the module might be able to use the same ABIs (user/kernel and kernel/SEAMLDR) but they will not be able to use this kernel code. Reject module images without that specific version. This ensures that the kernel is able to understand the passed-in format. Validate the 'struct tdx_image' header before using it, because the header is consumed solely by the kernel to locate the sigstruct and module within the image. Do not validate the payload itself. The sigstruct and module pages are passed through to P-SEAMLDR, which validates them as part of the update. sigstruct_pages_pa_list currently has only one entry, but it will grow to four pages in the future. Keep it as an array for symmetry with module_pages_pa_list and for extensibility.

2026-06-03coco/tdx-host: Implement firmware upload sysfs ABI for TDX module updatesChao Gao
tl;dr: Select fw_upload for doing TDX module updates. The process of selecting among available update images is complicated and nuanced. Punt the selection process out to userspace. One existing userspace implementation today is the script in the Intel TDX Module Binaries repository[1]. Long Version: The kernel supports two primary firmware update mechanisms: 1. request_firmware() - used by microcode, SEV firmware, hundreds of other drivers 2. 'struct fw_upload' - used by CXL, FPGA updates, dozens of others The key difference between is that request_firmware() loads a named file from the filesystem where the filename is kernel-controlled, while fw_upload accepts firmware data directly from userspace. TDX module firmware update selection policy is too complex for the kernel. Leave it to userspace and use fw_upload. Add a skeleton fw_upload implementation to be fleshed out in subsequent patches. Refactor the sysfs visiblity attribute function so it can be used as a more generic flag for the presence of viable runtime update support. Why fw_upload instead of request_firmware()? ============================================ Selecting a TDX module update image is not a simple "load the latest" decision. Userspace needs to choose an image that is compatible with both the platform and the currently running module. Some constraints are hard requirements: a. Module version series are platform-specific. For example, the 1.5.x series runs on Sapphire Rapids but not Granite Rapids, which needs 2.0.x. b. Updates are also constrained by version distance. A 1.5.6 module might permit updates to 1.5.7 but not to 1.5.50. There may also be userspace policy choices: c. Decide the update direction: upgrade or downgrade d. Choose whether to optimize for fewer updates or smaller version steps, for example, 1.2.3=>1.2.5 versus 1.2.3=>1.2.4=>1.2.5. Given that complexity, leave module selection to userspace and use fw_upload. 1. https://github.com/intel/confidential-computing.tdx.tdx-module.binaries/blob/main/version_select_and_load.py [ dhansen: add version script link, add more explanation of code moves, fix some minor whitespace issues ] Signed-off-by: Chao Gao <chao.gao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Tony Lindgren <tony.lindgren@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Kai Huang <kai.huang@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta) <kas@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/01fc8946-eb84-46fa-9458-f345dd3f6033@intel.com/ Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260520133909.409394-13-chao.gao@intel.com
2026-06-03coco/tdx-host: Don't expose P-SEAMLDR information on CPUs with erratumChao Gao
TDX-capable CPUs clobber the current VMCS on P-SEAMLDR calls. Clearing the current VMCS behind KVM's back breaks KVM. Future CPUs will fix this by preserving the current VMCS across P-SEAMLDR calls. A future specification update will describe the VMCS-clearing behavior as an erratum and to state that it does not occur when IA32_VMX_BASIC[60] is set. Add a CPU bug bit and refuse to expose P-SEAMLDR information on affected CPUs. Use a CPU bug bit to stay consistent with X86_BUG_TDX_PW_MCE. As a bonus, the bug bit is visible to userspace, which allows userspace to determine why these sysfs files are not exposed, and it can also be checked by other kernel components in the future if needed. == Alternatives == Two workarounds were considered but both were rejected: 1. Save/restore the current VMCS around P-SEAMLDR calls. This produces ugly assembly code [1] and doesn't play well with #MCE or #NMI if they need to use the current VMCS. 2.

2026-06-03x86/virt/seamldr: Add a helper to retrieve P-SEAMLDR informationChao Gao
P-SEAMLDR reports its state via SEAMLDR.INFO, including its version and the number of remaining runtime updates. This information is useful for userspace. For example, userspace can use the P-SEAMLDR version to determine whether a candidate TDX module is compatible with the running loader, and can use the remaining update count to determine whether another runtime update is still possible. Add a helper to retrieve P-SEAMLDR information in preparation for exposing P-SEAMLDR version and other necessary information to userspace. Export the new kAPI for use by the "tdx_host" device. Note that there are two distinct P-SEAMLDR APIs with similar names: "SEAMLDR.INFO" is metadata about the loader. It's metadata for the update process. "SEAMLDR.SEAMINFO" is metadata about SEAM mode. It is for the module init process, not for the update process. Use SEAMLDR.INFO here. For details, see "Intel Trust Domain Extensions - SEAM Loader (SEAMLDR) Interface Specification".

2026-06-03x86/virt/seamldr: Introduce a wrapper for P-SEAMLDR SEAMCALLsChao Gao
The TDX architecture uses the "SEAMCALL" instruction to communicate with SEAM mode software. Right now, the only SEAM mode software that the kernel communicates with is the TDX module. But, there is actually another component that runs in SEAM mode but it is separate from the TDX module: the persistent SEAM loader or "P-SEAMLDR". Right now, the only component that communicates with it is the BIOS which loads the TDX module itself at boot. But, to support updating the TDX module, the kernel now needs to be able to talk to it. P-SEAMLDR SEAMCALLs differ from TDX module SEAMCALLs in areas such as concurrency requirements. Add a P-SEAMLDR wrapper to handle these differences and prepare for implementing concrete functions. Use seamcall_prerr() (not '_ret') because current P-SEAMLDR calls do not use any output registers other than RAX. Note: Despite the similar name, the NP-SEAMLDR ("Non-Persistent") (ACM) invoked exclusively by the BIOS at boot rather than a component running in SEAM mode. The kernel cannot call it at runtime. It exposes no SEAMCALL interface.

2026-06-03coco/tdx-host: Expose TDX module versionChao Gao
For TDX module updates, userspace needs to select compatible update versions based on the current module version. For example, the 1.5.x series runs on Sapphire Rapids but not Granite Rapids, which needs 2.0.x. Updates are also constrained by version distance, so a 1.5.6 module might permit updates to 1.5.7 but not to 1.5.20. Start the process of punting the version selection logic to userspace. Expose the TDX module version in the new faux device. Define TDX_VERSION_FMT macro for the TDX version format since it will be used multiple times. Also convert an existing print statement to use it. == Background == For posterity, here's what other firmware mechanisms do: 1. AMD SEV leverages an existing PCI device for the PSP to expose metadata. TDX uses a faux device as it doesn't have PCI device in its architecture. 2. Microcode uses per-CPU virtual devices to report microcode revisions because CPUs can have different revisions. But, there is only a single TDX module, so exposing the TDX module version through a global TDX faux device is appropriate 3. ARM's CCA implementation isn't in-tree yet, but will likely follow a similar faux device approach, though it's unclear whether they need to expose firmware version information [ dhansen: trim changelog ] Signed-off-by: Chao Gao <chao.gao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Binbin Wu <binbin.wu@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Tony Lindgren <tony.lindgren@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Xu Yilun <yilun.xu@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Kai Huang <kai.huang@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta) <kas@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Xiaoyao Li <xiaoyao.li@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/2025073035-bulginess-rematch-b92e@gregkh/ # [1] Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260520133909.409394-8-chao.gao@intel.com
2026-06-03coco/tdx-host: Introduce a "tdx_host" deviceChao Gao
TDX depends on a platform firmware module that runs on the CPU. Unlike other CoCo architectures, TDX has no hardware "device" running the show, just a blob on the CPU. Create a virtual device to anchor interactions with this platform firmware. This lets later code: - expose metadata: TDX module version, seamldr version, to userspace as device attributes - implement firmware uploader APIs (which are tied to a device) to support TDX module runtime updates Use a faux device because the TDX module is singular within the system and has no platform resources. Using a faux device eliminates the need to create a stub bus. The call to tdx_get_sysinfo() ensures that the TDX module is ready to provide services. Note that AMD has a PCI device for the PSP for SEV and ARM CCA will likely have a faux device [1]. Thanks to Dan and Yilun for all the help on this one.

2026-06-03x86/virt/tdx: Move low level SEAMCALL helpers out of <asm/tdx.h>Kai Huang
TDX host core code implements three seamcall*() helpers to make SEAMCALLs to the TDX module. Currently, they are implemented in <asm/tdx.h> and are exposed to other kernel code which includes <asm/tdx.h>. However, other than the TDX host core, seamcall*() are not expected to be used by other kernel code directly. For instance, for all SEAMCALLs that are used by KVM, the TDX host core exports a wrapper function for each of them. Move seamcall*() and related code out of <asm/tdx.h> and make them only visible to TDX host core. Since TDX host core tdx.c is already very heavy, don't put low level seamcall*() code there but to a new dedicated "seamcall_internal.h". Also, currently tdx.c has seamcall_prerr*() helpers which additionally print error message when calling seamcall*() fails. Move them to "seamcall_internal.h" as well. In such way all low level SEAMCALL helpers are in a dedicated place, which is much more readable.

2026-06-03x86/virt/tdx: Consolidate TDX global initialization statesChao Gao
The kernel uses several global flags to guard one-time TDX initialization flows and prevent them from being repeated. When the TDX module is updated, all of those states must be reset so that the module can be initialized again. Today those states are kept as separate global variables, which makes the reset path awkward and easy to miss when a new state is added. Group the states into a single structure so they can be reset together, for example with memset(), and so a newly added state won't be missed. Drop the __ro_after_init annotation from tdx_module_initialized because the other two states do not have it. And with TDX module update support, all the states need to be writable at runtime.

2026-05-26x86/tdx: Use PFN directly for unmapping guest private memorySean Christopherson
Remove struct page assumptions/constraints in APIs for unmapping guest private memory and have them take physical address directly. Having core TDX make assumptions that guest private memory must be backed by struct page (and/or folio) will create subtle dependencies on how KVM/guest_memfd allocates/manages memory (e.g., whether it uses memory allocated from core MM, if the memory is refcounted, or if the folio is split) that are easily avoided. [1]. KVM's MMUs work with PFNs. This is very much an intentional design choice. It ensures that the KVM MMUs remain flexible and are not too tightly tied to the regular CPU MMUs and the kernel code around them. Using "struct page" for TDX guest memory is not a good fit anywhere near the KVM MMU code [2]. Therefore, for unmapping guest private memory: export tdx_quirk_reset_paddr() for direct KVM invocation, and convert the SEAMCALL wrapper API tdh_phymem_page_wbinvd_hkid() to take PFN as input (thus updating mk_keyed_paddr() and tdh_phymem_page_wbinvd_tdr()). Intentionally have KVM pass PAGE_SIZE (rather than KVM_HPAGE_SIZE(level)) to tdx_quirk_reset_paddr() in tdx_sept_remove_private_spte() to avoid mixing in huge page changes. The KVM_BUG_ON() check for !PG_LEVEL_4K in tdx_sept_remove_private_spte() justifies using PAGE_SIZE. Do not convert tdx_reclaim_page() to use PFN as input since it currently does not remove guest private memory. Use "kvm_pfn_t pfn" for type safety. Using this KVM type is appropriate since APIs tdh_phymem_page_wbinvd_hkid() and tdx_quirk_reset_paddr() are exported to KVM only.

2026-04-27x86/tdx: Disable the TDX module during kexec and kdumpVishal Verma
Use the TDH.SYS.DISABLE SEAMCALL, which disables the TDX module, reclaims all memory resources assigned to TDX, and clears any partial-write induced poison, to allow kexec and kdump on platforms with the partial write errata. On TDX-capable platforms with the partial write erratum, kexec has been disabled because the new kernel could hit a machine check reading a previously poisoned memory location. Later TDX modules support TDH.SYS.DISABLE, which disables the module and reclaims all TDX memory resources, allowing the new kernel to re-initialize TDX from scratch. This operation also clears the old memory, cleaning up any poison. Add tdx_sys_disable() to tdx_shutdown(), which is called in the syscore_shutdown path for kexec. This is done just before tdx_shutdown() disables VMX on all CPUs. For kdump, call tdx_sys_disable() in the crash path before x86_virt_emergency_disable_virtualization_cpu() does VMXOFF. Since this clears any poison on TDX-managed memory, remove the X86_BUG_TDX_PW_MCE check in machine_kexec() that blocked kexec on partial write errata platforms.

2026-04-27x86/virt/tdx: Add SEAMCALL wrapper for TDH.SYS.DISABLEVishal Verma
Some early TDX-capable platforms have an erratum where a partial write to TDX private memory can cause a machine check on a subsequent read. On these platforms, kexec and kdump have been disabled in these cases, because the old kernel cannot safely hand off TDX state to the new kernel. Later TDX modules support the TDH.SYS.DISABLE SEAMCALL, which provides a way to cleanly disable TDX and allow kexec to proceed. The new SEAMCALL has an enumeration bit, but that is ignored. It is expected that users will be using the latest TDX module, and the failure mode for running the missing SEAMCALL on an older module is not fatal. This can be a long running operation, and the time needed largely depends on the amount of memory that has been allocated to TDs. If all TDs have been destroyed prior to the sys_disable call, then it is fast, with only needing to override the TDX module memory. After the SEAMCALL completes, the TDX module is disabled and all memory resources allocated to TDX are freed and reset. The next kernel can then re-initialize the TDX module from scratch via the normal TDX bring-up sequence. The SEAMCALL can return two different error codes that expect a retry. - TDX_INTERRUPTED_RESUMABLE can be returned in the case of a host interrupt. However, it will not return until it makes some forward progress, so we can expect to complete even in the case of interrupt storms. - TDX_SYS_BUSY will be returned on contention with other TDH.SYS.* SEAMCALLs, however a side effect of TDH.SYS.DISABLE is that it will block other SEAMCALLs once it gets going. So this contention will be short lived. So loop infinitely on either of these error codes, until success or other error. An error is printed if the SEAMCALL fails with anything other than the error codes that cause retries, or 'synthesized' error codes produced for #GP or #UD. e.g., an old module that has been properly initialized, that doesn't implement SYS_DISABLE, returns TDX_OPERAND_INVALID. This prints: virt/tdx: TDH.SYS.DISABLE failed: 0xc000010000000000 But a system that doesn't have any TDX support at all doesn't print anything.

2026-04-27x86/virt/tdx: Pull kexec cache flush logic into arch/x86Rick Edgecombe
KVM tries to take care of some required cache flushing earlier in the kexec path in order to be kind to some long standing races that can occur later in the operation. Until recently, VMXOFF was handled within KVM. Since VMX being enabled is required to make a SEAMCALL, it had the best per-cpu scoped operation to plug the flushing into. So it is kicked off from there. This early kexec cache flushing in KVM happens via a syscore shutdown callback. Now that VMX enablement control has moved to arch/x86, which has grown its own syscore shutdown callback, it no longer make sense for it to live in KVM. It fits better with the TDX enablement managing code. In addition, future changes will add a SEAMCALL that happens immediately before VMXOFF, which means the cache flush in KVM will be too late to flush the cache before the last SEAMCALL. So move it to the newly added TDX arch/x86 syscore shutdown handler. Since tdx_cpu_flush_cache_for_kexec() is no longer needed by KVM, make it static and remove the export. Since it is also not part of an operation spread across disparate components, remove the redundant comments and verbose naming. In the existing KVM based code, CPU offline also funnels through tdx_cpu_flush_cache_for_kexec(). Add an explicit WBINVD in tdx_offline_cpu() as well, even though it may be redundant with WBINVD done elsewhere during CPU offline (e.g. hlt_play_dead()). This avoids relying on fragile code ordering for cache coherency safety.

2026-04-09x86/virt: Treat SVM as unsupported when running as an SEV+ guestSean Christopherson
When running as an SEV+ guest, treat SVM as unsupported even if CPUID (and other reporting, e.g. MSRs) enumerate support for SVM, as KVM doesn't support nested virtualization within an SEV VM (KVM would need to explicitly share all VMCBs and other assets with the untrusted host), let alone running nested VMs within SEV-ES+ guests (e.g. emulating VMLOAD, VMSAVE, and VMRUN all require access to guest register state). And outside of KVM, there is no in-tree user of SVM enabling. Arguably, the hypervisor/VMM (e.g. QEMU) should clear SVM from guest CPUID for SEV VMs, especially for SEV-ES+, but super duper technically, it's feasible to run nested VMs in SEV+ guests (with many caveats). More importantly, Linux-as-a-guest has played nice with SVM being advertised to SEV+ guests for a long time. Treating SVM as unsupported fixes a regression where a clean shutdown of an SEV-ES+ guest degrades into an abrupt termination. Due to a gnarly virtualization hole in SEV-ES (the architecture), where EFER must NOT be intercepted by the hypervisor (because the untrusted hypervisor can't set e.g. EFER.LME on behalf o the guest), the _host's_ EFER.SVME is visible to the guest. Because EFER.SVME must be always '1' while in guest mode, Linux-the-guest sees EFER.SVME=1 even when _its_ EFER.SVME is '0', thinks it has enabled virtualization, and ultimately can cause x86_svm_emergency_disable_virtualization_cpu() to execute STGI to ensure GIF is enabled. Executing STGI _should_ be fine, except Linux is a also wee bit paranoid when running as an SEV-ES guest. Because L0 sees EFER.SVME=0 for the guest, a well-behaved L0 hypervisor will intercept STGI (to inject #UD), and thus generate a #VC on the STGI. Which, again, should be fine. Unfortunately, vc_check_opcode_bytes() fails to account for STGI and other SVM instructions, throws a fatal error, and triggers a termination request. In a perfect world, the #VC handler would be more forgiving of unknown intercepts, especially when the #VC happened on an instruction with exception fixup. For now, just fix the immediate regression.
