The header unistd.h is included under Arm64's uAPI folder (see
tools/arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/), but it does not include its
dependent header unistd_64.h.
The intention is for unistd_64.h to be generated dynamically using
scripts/Makefile.asm-headers.
However, this dynamic approach causes problems because the header is not
available early enough, even though it is widely included throughout
tools.
Using the perf build as an example:
1) Feature detection: Perf first runs feature tests.
The BPF feature program test-bpf.c includes unistd.h. Since
unistd_64.h has not been generated yet, the program fails to build,
and the BPF feature ends up being disabled.
2) libperf build:
The libperf Makefile later generates unistd_64.h on the fly, so
libperf itself builds successfully.
3) Final perf build:
Although the perf binary can build successfully using the generated
header, we never get a chance to build BPF skeleton programs,
because BPF support was already disabled earlier.
Restore to include asm-generic/unistd.h for fixing the issue. This
aligns with most architectures (x86 is a special case that keeps
unistd_32.h/unistd_64.h for its particular syscall numbers) and ensures
the header is available from the start.
Fixes: 22f72088ff ("tools headers: Update the syscall table with the kernel sources")

"Perf event/metric description:
Unify all event and metric descriptions in JSON format. Now event
parsing and handling is greatly simplified by that.
From users point of view, perf list will provide richer information
about hardware events like the following.
$ perf list hw
List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e or -M):
legacy hardware:

[Mispredicted branch instructions. Unit: cpu]
branches
[Retired branch instructions [This event is an alias of branch-instructions]. Unit: cpu]
bus-cycles

cache-misses
[Cache misses. Usually this indicates Last Level Cache misses; this is intended to be used in conjunction with the
PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_REFERENCES event to calculate cache miss rates. Unit: cpu]
cache-references
[Cache accesses. Usually this indicates Last Level Cache accesses but this may vary depending on your CPU. This may include
prefetches and coherency messages; again this depends on the design of your CPU. Unit: cpu]

trace with frame pointers like below:
$ perf record --call-graph fp,defer ...
This will be transparent to users when it comes to other commands like
perf report and perf script. They will merge the deferred callchains
to the previous samples as if they were collected together.
ARM SPE updates
- Extensive enhancements to support various kinds of memory
operations including GCS, MTE allocation tags, memcpy/memset,
register access, and SIMD operations.
- Add inverted data source filter (inv_data_src_filter) support to

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM:
- Support for userspace handling of synchronous external aborts
(SEAs), allowing the VMM to potentially handle the abort in a
non-fatal manner
- Large rework of the VGIC's list register handling with the goal of
supporting more active/pending IRQs than available list registers
in hardware. In addition, the VGIC now supports EOImode==1 style
deactivations for IRQs which may occur on a separate vCPU than the
one that acked the IRQ
- Support for FEAT_XNX (user / privileged execute permissions) and
FEAT_HAF (hardware update to the Access Flag) in the software page
table walkers and shadow MMU
- Allow page table destruction to reschedule, fixing long
need_resched latencies observed when destroying a large VM
- Minor fixes to KVM and selftests
Loongarch:
- Get VM PMU capability from HW GCFG register
- Add AVEC basic support
- Use 64-bit register definition for EIOINTC
- Add KVM timer test cases for tools/selftests
RISC/V:
- SBI message passing (MPXY) support for KVM guest
- Give a new, more specific error subcode for the case when in-kernel
AIA virtualization fails to allocate IMSIC VS-file
- Support KVM_DIRTY_LOG_INITIALLY_SET, enabling dirty log gradually
in small chunks
- Fix guest page fault within HLV* instructions
- Flush VS-stage TLB after VCPU migration for Andes cores
s390:
- Always allocate ESCA (Extended System Control Area), instead of
starting with the basic SCA and converting to ESCA with the
addition of the 65th vCPU. The price is increased number of exits
(and worse performance) on z10 and earlier processor; ESCA was
introduced by z114/z196 in 2010
- VIRT_XFER_TO_GUEST_WORK support
- Operation exception forwarding support
- Cleanups
x86:
- Skip the costly "zap all SPTEs" on an MMIO generation wrap if MMIO
SPTE caching is disabled, as there can't be any relevant SPTEs to
zap
- Relocate a misplaced export
- Fix an async #PF bug where KVM would clear the completion queue
when the guest transitioned in and out of paging mode, e.g. when
handling an SMI and then returning to paged mode via RSM
- Leave KVM's user-return notifier registered even when disabling
virtualization, as long as kvm.ko is loaded. On reboot/shutdown,
keeping the notifier registered is ok; the kernel does not use the
MSRs and the callback will run cleanly and restore host MSRs if the
CPU manages to return to userspace before the system goes down
- Use the checked version of {get,put}_user()
- Fix a long-lurking bug where KVM's lack of catch-up logic for
periodic APIC timers can result in a hard lockup in the host
- Revert the periodic kvmclock sync logic now that KVM doesn't use a
clocksource that's subject to NTP corrections
- Clean up KVM's handling of MMIO Stale Data and L1TF, and bury the
latter behind CONFIG_CPU_MITIGATIONS
- Context switch XCR0, XSS, and PKRU outside of the entry/exit fast
path; the only reason they were handled in the fast path was to
paper of a bug in the core #MC code, and that has long since been
fixed
- Add emulator support for AVX MOV instructions, to play nice with
emulated devices whose guest drivers like to access PCI BARs with
large multi-byte instructions
x86 (AMD):
- Fix a few missing "VMCB dirty" bugs
- Fix the worst of KVM's lack of EFER.LMSLE emulation
- Add AVIC support for addressing 4k vCPUs in x2AVIC mode
- Fix incorrect handling of selective CR0 writes when checking
intercepts during emulation of L2 instructions
- Fix a currently-benign bug where KVM would clobber SPEC_CTRL[63:32]
on VMRUN and #VMEXIT
- Fix a bug where KVM corrupt the guest code stream when re-injecting
a soft interrupt if the guest patched the underlying code after the
VM-Exit, e.g. when Linux patches code with a temporary INT3
- Add KVM_X86_SNP_POLICY_BITS to advertise supported SNP policy bits
to userspace, and extend KVM "support" to all policy bits that
don't require any actual support from KVM
x86 (Intel):
- Use the root role from kvm_mmu_page to construct EPTPs instead of
the current vCPU state, partly as worthwhile cleanup, but mostly to
pave the way for tracking per-root TLB flushes, and elide EPT
flushes on pCPU migration if the root is clean from a previous
flush
- Add a few missing nested consistency checks
- Rip out support for doing "early" consistency checks via hardware
as the functionality hasn't been used in years and is no longer
useful in general; replace it with an off-by-default module param
to WARN if hardware fails a check that KVM does not perform
- Fix a currently-benign bug where KVM would drop the guest's
SPEC_CTRL[63:32] on VM-Enter
- Misc cleanups
- Overhaul the TDX code to address systemic races where KVM (acting
on behalf of userspace) could inadvertantly trigger lock contention
in the TDX-Module; KVM was either working around these in weird,
ugly ways, or was simply oblivious to them (though even Yan's
devilish selftests could only break individual VMs, not the host
kernel)
- Fix a bug where KVM could corrupt a vCPU's cpu_list when freeing a
TDX vCPU, if creating said vCPU failed partway through
- Fix a few sparse warnings (bad annotation, 0 != NULL)
- Use struct_size() to simplify copying TDX capabilities to userspace
- Fix a bug where TDX would effectively corrupt user-return MSR
values if the TDX Module rejects VP.ENTER and thus doesn't clobber
host MSRs as expected
Selftests:
- Fix a math goof in mmu_stress_test when running on a single-CPU
system/VM
- Forcefully override ARCH from x86_64 to x86 to play nice with
specifying ARCH=x86_64 on the command line
- Extend a bunch of nested VMX to validate nested SVM as well
- Add support for LA57 in the core VM_MODE_xxx macro, and add a test
to verify KVM can save/restore nested VMX state when L1 is using
5-level paging, but L2 is not
- Clean up the guest paging code in anticipation of sharing the core
logic for nested EPT and nested NPT
guest_memfd:
- Add NUMA mempolicy support for guest_memfd, and clean up a variety
of rough edges in guest_memfd along the way
- Define a CLASS to automatically handle get+put when grabbing a
guest_memfd from a memslot to make it harder to leak references
- Enhance KVM selftests to make it easer to develop and debug
selftests like those added for guest_memfd NUMA support, e.g. where
test and/or KVM bugs often result in hard-to-debug SIGBUS errors
- Misc cleanups
Generic:
- Use the recently-added WQ_PERCPU when creating the per-CPU
workqueue for irqfd cleanup
- Fix a goof in the dirty ring documentation
- Fix choice of target for directed yield across different calls to
kvm_vcpu_on_spin(); the function was always starting from the first
vCPU instead of continuing the round-robin search"

Test how KVM handles guest SEA when APEI is unable to claim it, and
KVM_CAP_ARM_SEA_TO_USER is enabled.
The behavior is triggered by consuming recoverable memory error (UER)
injected via EINJ. The test asserts two major things:
1. KVM returns to userspace with KVM_EXIT_ARM_SEA exit reason, and
has provided expected fault information, e.g. esr, flags, gva, gpa.
2. Userspace is able to handle KVM_EXIT_ARM_SEA by injecting SEA to
guest and KVM injects expected SEA into the VCPU.
Tested on a data center server running Siryn AmpereOne processor
that has RAS support.
Several things to notice before attempting to run this selftest:
- The test relies on EINJ support in both firmware and kernel to
inject UER. Otherwise the test will be skipped.
- The under-test platform's APEI should be unable to claim the SEA.
Otherwise the test will be skipped.
- Some platform doesn't support notrigger in EINJ, which may cause
APEI and GHES to offline the memory before guest can consume
injected UER, and making test unable to trigger SEA.

While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a
macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel.
This can be very confusing when switching between userspace
and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that
rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize now
on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers.
This is a mostly mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i"
statement), except for the following files where comments with
mis-spelled macros were tweaked manually:

Pull kvm fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM:
- Correctly handle 'invariant' system registers for protected VMs
- Improved handling of VNCR data aborts, including external aborts
- Fixes for handling of FEAT_RAS for NV guests, providing a sane
fault context during SEA injection and preventing the use of
RASv1p1 fault injection hardware
- Ensure that page table destruction when a VM is destroyed gives an
opportunity to reschedule
- Large fix to KVM's infrastructure for managing guest context loaded
on the CPU, addressing issues where the output of AT emulation
doesn't get reflected to the guest
- Fix AT S12 emulation to actually perform stage-2 translation when
necessary
- Avoid attempting vLPI irqbypass when GICv4 has been explicitly
disabled for a VM
- Minor KVM + selftest fixes
RISC-V:
- Fix pte settings within kvm_riscv_gstage_ioremap()
- Fix comments in kvm_riscv_check_vcpu_requests()
- Fix stack overrun when setting vlenb via ONE_REG
x86:
- Use array_index_nospec() to sanitize the target vCPU ID when
handling PV IPIs and yields as the ID is guest-controlled.
- Drop a superfluous cpumask_empty() check when reclaiming SEV
memory, as the common case, by far, is that at least one CPU will
have entered the VM, and wbnoinvd_on_cpus_mask() will naturally
handle the rare case where the set of have_run_cpus is empty.
Selftests (not KVM):
- Rename the is_signed_type() macro in kselftest_harness.h to
is_signed_var() to fix a collision with linux/overflow.h. The
collision generates compiler warnings due to the two macros having
different meaning"

This addresses these perf build warnings:
Warning: Kernel ABI header differences:
diff -u tools/arch/arm64/include/asm/cputype.h arch/arm64/include/asm/cputype.h
But the following two changes cannot be applied since they introduced
new build errors in util/arm-spe.c. So it still has the warning after
this change.

* kvm-arm64/pv-cpuid:
: Paravirtualized implementation ID, courtesy of Shameer Kolothum
:
: Big-little has historically been a pain in the ass to virtualize. The
: implementation ID (MIDR, REVIDR, AIDR) of a vCPU can change at the whim
: of vCPU scheduling. This can be particularly annoying when the guest
: needs to know the underlying implementation to mitigate errata.
:
: "Hyperscalers" face a similar scheduling problem, where VMs may freely
: migrate between hosts in a pool of heterogenous hardware. And yes, our
: server-class friends are equally riddled with errata too.
:
: In absence of an architected solution to this wart on the ecosystem,
: introduce support for paravirtualizing the implementation exposed
: to a VM, allowing the VMM to describe the pool of implementations that a
: VM may be exposed to due to scheduling/migration.
:
: Userspace is expected to intercept and handle these hypercalls using the
: SMCCC filter UAPI, should it choose to do so.

The ICH_VTR_EL2-related macros are missing a number of config
bits that we are about to handle. Take this opportunity to fully
describe the layout of that register as part of the automatic
generation infrastructure.
This results in a bit of churn to repaint constants that are now
generated with a different format.

Convert TRFCR to automatic generation. Add separate definitions for ELx
and EL2 as TRFCR_EL1 doesn't have CX. This also mirrors the previous
definition so no code change is required.
Also add TRFCR_EL12 which will start to be used in a later commit.
Unfortunately, to avoid breaking the Perf build with duplicate
definition errors, the tools copy of the sysreg.h header needs to be
updated at the same time rather than the usual second commit. This is
because the generated version of sysreg
(arch/arm64/include/generated/asm/sysreg-defs.h), is currently shared
and tools/ does not have its own copy.

KVM/arm64 changes for 6.13, part #1
- Support for stage-1 permission indirection (FEAT_S1PIE) and
permission overlays (FEAT_S1POE), including nested virt + the
emulated page table walker
- Introduce PSCI SYSTEM_OFF2 support to KVM + client driver. This call
was introduced in PSCIv1.3 as a mechanism to request hibernation,
similar to the S4 state in ACPI
- Explicitly trap + hide FEAT_MPAM (QoS controls) from KVM guests. As
part of it, introduce trivial initialization of the host's MPAM
context so KVM can use the corresponding traps
- PMU support under nested virtualization, honoring the guest
hypervisor's trap configuration and event filtering when running a
nested guest
- Fixes to vgic ITS serialization where stale device/interrupt table
entries are not zeroed when the mapping is invalidated by the VM
- Avoid emulated MMIO completion if userspace has requested synchronous
external abort injection
- Various fixes and cleanups affecting pKVM, vCPU initialization, and
selftests

When clone3() was introduced, it was not obvious how each architecture
deals with setting up the stack and keeping the register contents in
a fork()-like system call, so this was left for the architecture
maintainers to implement, with __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 defined by those
that already implement it.
Five years later, we still have a few architectures left that are missing
clone3(), and the macro keeps getting in the way as it's fundamentally
different from all the other __ARCH_WANT_SYS_* macros that are meant
to provide backwards-compatibility with applications using older
syscalls that are no longer provided by default.
Address this by reversing the polarity of the macro, adding an
__ARCH_BROKEN_SYS_CLONE3 macro to all architectures that don't
already provide the syscall, and remove __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3
from all the other ones.

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"The most interesting parts are probably the mm changes from Ryan which
optimise the creation of the linear mapping at boot and (separately)
implement write-protect support for userfaultfd.
Outside of our usual directories, the Kbuild-related changes under
scripts/ have been acked by Masahiro whilst the drivers/acpi/ parts
have been acked by Rafael and the addition of cpumask_any_and_but()
has been acked by Yury.
ACPI:
- Support for the Firmware ACPI Control Structure (FACS) signature
feature which is used to reboot out of hibernation on some systems
Kbuild:
- Support for building Flat Image Tree (FIT) images, where the kernel
Image is compressed alongside a set of devicetree blobs
Memory management:
- Optimisation of our early page-table manipulation for creation of
the linear mapping
- Support for userfaultfd write protection, which brings along some
nice cleanups to our handling of invalid but present ptes
- Extend our use of range TLBI invalidation at EL1
Perf and PMUs:
- Ensure that the 'pmu->parent' pointer is correctly initialised by
PMU drivers
- Avoid allocating 'cpumask_t' types on the stack in some PMU drivers
- Fix parsing of the CPU PMU "version" field in assembly code, as it
doesn't follow the usual architectural rules
- Add best-effort unwinding support for USER_STACKTRACE
- Minor driver fixes and cleanups
Selftests:
- Minor cleanups to the arm64 selftests (missing NULL check, unused
variable)
Miscellaneous:
- Add a command-line alias for disabling 32-bit application support
- Add part number for Neoverse-V2 CPUs
- Minor fixes and cleanups"

tldr; Just FYI, I'm carrying this on the perf tools tree.
Full explanation:
There used to be no copies, with tools/ code using kernel headers
directly. From time to time tools/perf/ broke due to legitimate kernel
hacking. At some point Linus complained about such direct usage. Then we
adopted the current model.
The way these headers are used in perf are not restricted to just
including them to compile something.
There are sometimes used in scripts that convert defines into string
tables, etc, so some change may break one of these scripts, or new MSRs
may use some different #define pattern, etc.
E.g.:
$ ls -1 tools/perf/trace/beauty/*.sh | head -5
tools/perf/trace/beauty/arch_errno_names.sh
tools/perf/trace/beauty/drm_ioctl.sh
tools/perf/trace/beauty/fadvise.sh
tools/perf/trace/beauty/fsconfig.sh
tools/perf/trace/beauty/fsmount.sh
$
$ tools/perf/trace/beauty/fadvise.sh
static const char *fadvise_advices[] = {
[0] = "NORMAL",
[1] = "RANDOM",
[2] = "SEQUENTIAL",
[3] = "WILLNEED",
[4] = "DONTNEED",
[5] = "NOREUSE",
};
$
The tools/perf/check-headers.sh script, part of the tools/ build
process, points out changes in the original files.
So its important not to touch the copies in tools/ when doing changes in
the original kernel headers, that will be done later, when
check-headers.sh inform about the change to the perf tools hackers.

Pull asm-generic regression fix from Arnd Bergmann:
"Just one partial revert for a commit from the merge window that caused
annoying behavior when building old kernels on arm64 hosts"
* tag 'asm-generic-fix-6.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic:
asm-generic: partially revert "Unify uapi bitsperlong.h for arm64, riscv and loongarch"
Unifying the asm-generic headers across 32-bit and 64-bit architectures
based on the compiler provided macros was a good idea and appears to work
with all user space, but it caused a regression when building old kernels
on systems that have the new headers installed in /usr/include, as this
combination trips an inconsistency in the kernel's own tools/include
headers that are a mix of userspace and kernel-internal headers.
This affects kernel builds on arm64, riscv64 and loongarch64 systems that
might end up using the "#define __BITS_PER_LONG 32" default from the old
tools headers. Backporting the commit into stable kernels would address
this, but it would still break building kernels without that backport,
and waste time for developers trying to understand the problem.
arm64 build machines are rather common, and on riscv64 this can also
happen in practice, but loongarch64 is probably new enough to not
be used much for building old kernels, so only revert the bits
for arm64 and riscv.

To get the changes in:
e910baa9c1 ("KVM: arm64: vgic: Add Apple M2 PRO/MAX cpus to the list of broken SEIS implementations")
That makes this perf source code to be rebuilt:
CC /tmp/build/perf-tools/util/arm-spe.o
The changes in the above patch don't affect things that are used in
arm-spe.c (things like MIDR_NEOVERSE_N1, etc). Unsure if Apple M2 has
SPE (Statistical Profiling Extension) :-)
That addresses this perf build warning:

That don't change functionality in tools/perf, as no new ioctl is added
for the 'perf trace' scripts to harvest.
