Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:

 - Do not allow large strings (> 4096) as single write to trace_marker

   The size of a string written into trace_marker was determined by the
   size of the sub-buffer in the ring buffer. That size is dependent on
   the PAGE_SIZE of the architecture as it can be mapped into user
   space. But on PowerPC, where PAGE_SIZE is 64K, that made the limit of
   the string of writing into trace_marker 64K.

   One of the selftests looks at the size of the ring buffer sub-buffers
   and writes that plus more into the trace_marker. The write will take
   what it can and report back what it consumed so that the user space
   application (like echo) will write the rest of the string. The string
   is stored in the ring buffer and can be read via the "trace" or
   "trace_pipe" files.

   The reading of the ring buffer uses vsnprintf(), which uses a
   precision "%.*s" to make sure it only reads what is stored in the
   buffer, as a bug could cause the string to be non terminated.

   With the combination of the precision change and the PAGE_SIZE of 64K
   allowing huge strings to be added into the ring buffer, plus the test
   that would actually stress that limit, a bug was reported that the
   precision used was too big for "%.*s" as the string was close to 64K
   in size and the max precision of vsnprintf is 32K.

   Linus suggested not to have that precision as it could hide a bug if
   the string was again stored without a nul byte.

   Another issue that was brought up is that the trace_seq buffer is
   also based on PAGE_SIZE even though it is not tied to the
   architecture limit like the ring buffer sub-buffer is. Having it be
   64K * 2 is simply just too big and wasting memory on systems with 64K
   page sizes. It is now hardcoded to 8K which is what all other
   architectures with 4K PAGE_SIZE has.

   Finally, the write to trace_marker is now limited to 4K as there is
   no reason to write larger strings into trace_marker.

 - ring_buffer_wait() should not loop.

   The ring_buffer_wait() does not have the full context (yet) on if it
   should loop or not. Just exit the loop as soon as its woken up and
   let the callers decide to loop or not (they already do, so it's a bit
   redundant).

 - Fix shortest_full field to be the smallest amount in the ring buffer
   that a waiter is waiting for. The "shortest_full" field is updated
   when a new waiter comes in and wants to wait for a smaller amount of
   data in the ring buffer than other waiters. But after all waiters are
   woken up, it's not reset, so if another waiter comes in wanting to
   wait for more data, it will be woken up when the ring buffer has a
   smaller amount from what the previous waiters were waiting for.

 - The wake up all waiters on close is incorrectly called frome
   .release() and not from .flush() so it will never wake up any waiters
   as the .release() will not get called until all .read() calls are
   finished. And the wakeup is for the waiters in those .read() calls.

      tracing: Use .flush() call to wake up readers · e5d7c191
      Steven Rostedt (Google) authored 
      The .release() function does not get called until all readers of a file
descriptor are finished.

If a thread is blocked on reading a file descriptor in ring_buffer_wait(),
and another thread closes the file descriptor, it will not wake up the
other thread as ring_buffer_wake_waiters() is called by .release(), and
that will not get called until the .read() is finished.

The issue originally showed up in trace-cmd, but the readers are actually
other processes with their own file descriptors. So calling close() would wake
up the other tasks because they are blocked on another descriptor then the
one that was closed(). But there's other wake ups that solve that issue.

When a thread is blocked on a read, it can still hang even when another
thread closed its descriptor.

This is what the .flush() callback is for. Have the .flush() wake up the
readers.

      ring-buffer: Fix resetting of shortest_full · 68282dd9
      Steven Rostedt (Google) authored 
      The "shortest_full" variable is used to keep track of the waiter that is
waiting for the smallest amount on the ring buffer before being woken up.
When a tasks waits on the ring buffer, it passes in a "full" value that is
a percentage. 0 means wake up on any data. 1-100 means wake up from 1% to
100% full buffer.

As all waiters are on the same wait queue, the wake up happens for the
waiter with the smallest percentage.

The problem is that the smallest_full on the cpu_buffer that stores the
smallest amount doesn't get reset when all the waiters are woken up. It
does get reset when the ring buffer is reset (echo > /sys/kernel/tracing/trace).

This means that tasks may be woken up more often then when they want to
be. Instead, have the shortest_full field get reset just before waking up
all the tasks. If the tasks wait again, they will update the shortest_full
before sleeping.

Also add locking around setting of shortest_full in the poll logic, and
change "work" to "rbwork" to match the variable name for rb_irq_work
structures that are used in other places.

 "KVM GUEST_MEMFD fixes for 6.8:

   - Make KVM_MEM_GUEST_MEMFD mutually exclusive with KVM_MEM_READONLY
     to avoid creating an inconsistent ABI (KVM_MEM_GUEST_MEMFD is not
     writable from userspace, so there would be no way to write to a
     read-only guest_memfd).

   - Update documentation for KVM_SW_PROTECTED_VM to make it abundantly
     clear that such VMs are purely for development and testing.

   - Limit KVM_SW_PROTECTED_VM guests to the TDP MMU, as the long term
     plan is to support confidential VMs with deterministic private
     memory (SNP and TDX) only in the TDP MMU.

   - Fix a bug in a GUEST_MEMFD dirty logging test that caused false
     passes.

  x86 fixes:

   - Fix missing marking of a guest page as dirty when emulating an
     atomic access.

   - Check for mmu_notifier invalidation events before faulting in the
     pfn, and before acquiring mmu_lock, to avoid unnecessary work and
     lock contention with preemptible kernels (including
     CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC in non-preemptible mode).

   - Disable AMD DebugSwap by default, it breaks VMSA signing and will
     be re-enabled with a better VM creation API in 6.10.

   - Do the cache flush of converted pages in svm_register_enc_region()
     before dropping kvm->lock, to avoid a race with unregistering of
     the same region and the consequent use-after-free issue"

      ring-buffer: Fix waking up ring buffer readers · b3594573
      Steven Rostedt (Google) authored 
      A task can wait on a ring buffer for when it fills up to a specific
watermark. The writer will check the minimum watermark that waiters are
waiting for and if the ring buffer is past that, it will wake up all the
waiters.

The waiters are in a wait loop, and will first check if a signal is
pending and then check if the ring buffer is at the desired level where it
should break out of the loop.

If a file that uses a ring buffer closes, and there's threads waiting on
the ring buffer, it needs to wake up those threads. To do this, a
"wait_index" was used.

Before entering the wait loop, the waiter will read the wait_index. On
wakeup, it will check if the wait_index is different than when it entered
the loop, and will exit the loop if it is. The waker will only need to
update the wait_index before waking up the waiters.

This had a couple of bugs. One trivial one and one broken by design.

The trivial bug was that the waiter checked the wait_index after the
schedule() call. It had to be checked between the prepare_to_wait() and
the schedule() which it was not.

The main bug is that the first check to set the default wait_index will
always be outside the prepare_to_wait() and the schedule(). That's because
the ring_buffer_wait() doesn't have enough context to know if it should
break out of the loop.

The loop itself is not needed, because all the callers to the
ring_buffer_wait() also has their own loop, as the callers have a better
sense of what the context is to decide whether to break out of the loop
or not.

Just have the ring_buffer_wait() block once, and if it gets woken up, exit
the function and let the callers decide what to do next.

Pull firewire fix from Takashi Sakamoto:
 "A fix to suppress a warning about unreleased IRQ for 1394 OHCI
  hardware when disabling MSI.

  In Linux kernel v6.5, a PCI driver for 1394 OHCI hardware was
  optimized into the managed device resources. Edmund Raile points out
  that the change brings the warning about unreleased IRQ at the call of
  pci_disable_msi(), since the API expects that the relevant IRQ has
  already been released in advance.

  As long as the API is called in .remove callback of PCI device
  operation, it is prohibited to maintain the IRQ as the part of managed
  device resource. As a workaround, the IRQ is explicitly released at
  .remove callback, before the call of pci_disable_msi().

  pci_disable_msi() is legacy API nowadays in PCI MSI implementation. I
  have a plan to replace it with the modern API in the development for
  the future version of Linux kernel. So at present I keep them as is"
