<id>urn:sha1:5dbbc7b04c141f1ebd5283e79b8b39d11dd27ba3</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 539d7344d4feaea37e05863e9aa86bd31f28e46f upstream.

When compiling with LLVM and CONFIG_RUST is set, there exists the
following objtool warning:

  rust/compiler_builtins.o: warning: objtool: __rust__unordsf2(): unexpected end of section .text.unlikely.

objdump shows that the end of section .text.unlikely is an atomic
instruction:

  amswap.w        $zero, $ra, $zero

According to the LoongArch Reference Manual, if the amswap.w atomic
memory access instruction has the same register number as rd and rj,
the execution will trigger an Instruction Non-defined Exception, so
mark the above instruction as INSN_BUG type to fix the warning.

<title>x86/rdrand: Disable RDSEED on AMD Cyan Skillfish</title>

<content type='text'>
AMD Cyan Skillfish (Family 17h, Model 47h, Stepping 0h) has an error that
causes RDSEED to always return 0xffffffff, while RDRAND works correctly.

Mask the RDSEED cap for this CPU so that both /proc/cpuinfo and direct CPUID
read report RDSEED as unavailable.

<title>LoongArch: Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ in headers</title>
<updated>2025-06-26T12:07:10+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.rulkc.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=f0ef0b02af381418973a952867052b12194f9c16'/>
<id>urn:sha1:f0ef0b02af381418973a952867052b12194f9c16</id>
<content type='text'>
While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembler code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a macro
that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel. This is bad
since macros starting with two underscores are names that are reserved
by the C language. It can also be very confusing for the developers
when switching between userspace and kernelspace coding, or when
dealing with uapi headers that rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead.
So let's now standardize on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided
by the compilers.

This is almost a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple
"sed -i" statement), with one comment tweaked manually in the
arch/loongarch/include/asm/cpu.h file (it was missing the trailing
underscores).

<id>urn:sha1:d222b6e6fb31e320eca506e665694d8ddf459157</id>
<content type='text'>
To pick the changes from:

  faad6645e1128ec2 ("x86/cpufeatures: Add CPUID feature bit for the Bus Lock Threshold")
  159013a7ca18c271 ("x86/its: Enumerate Indirect Target Selection (ITS) bug")
  f9f27c4a377a8b45 ("x86/cpufeatures: Add "Allowed SEV Features" Feature")
  b02dc185ee86836c ("x86/cpufeatures: Add X86_FEATURE_APX")
  d88bb2ded2efdc38 ("KVM: x86: Advertise support for AMD's PREFETCHI")

This causes these perf files to be rebuilt and brings some X86_FEATURE
that may be used by:

      CC       /tmp/build/perf/bench/mem-memcpy-x86-64-asm.o
      CC       /tmp/build/perf/bench/mem-memset-x86-64-asm.o

And addresses this perf build warning:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header differences:
    diff -u tools/arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h

Please see tools/include/uapi/README for further details.

To pick up the changes from:

  861c6b1185fbb2e3 ("x86/platform/amd: Add standard header guards to &lt;asm/amd/ibs.h&gt;")

A small change to tools/perf/check-headers.sh was made to cope with the
move of this header done in:

  3846389c03a85188 ("x86/platform/amd: Move the &lt;asm/amd-ibs.h&gt; header to &lt;asm/amd/ibs.h&gt;")

That don't result in any changes in the tools, just address this perf
build warning:

To pick up the changes from these csets:

  159013a7ca18c271 ("x86/its: Enumerate Indirect Target Selection (ITS) bug")

  ec980e4facef8110 ("perf/x86/intel: Support auto counter reload")

That cause no changes to tooling as it doesn't include a new MSR to be
captured by the tools/perf/trace/beauty/tracepoints/x86_msr.sh script.

Just silences this perf build warning:
