Pull pci updates from Bjorn Helgaas:
 "Enumeration:

   - Remove MPS/MRRS Kconfig settings (CONFIG_PCIE_BUS_*) that worked
     around a WiFi device defect; use a quirk or boot-time
     "pci=pcie_bus_tune_*" kernel parameter instead (Bjorn Helgaas)

   - Always lift 2.5GT/s restriction in PCIe failed link retraining to
     avoid clamping a link to 2.5GT/s after hot-plug changes the device
     (Maciej W. Rozycki)

   - Request bus reassignment when not probe-only to fix an enumeration
     regression on Marvell CN106XX and possibly other DT-based systems
     (Ratheesh Kannoth)

   - Fix procfs race between pci_proc_init() and pci_bus_add_device()
     that resulted in 'proc_dir_entry ... already registered' warnings
     and pointer corruption (Krzysztof Wilczyński)

   - Fix sysfs race that causes 'duplicate filename' warnings and boot
     panics by converting PCI resource files to static attributes
     (Krzysztof Wilczyński)

   - Expose sysfs 'resourceN_resize' attributes only on platforms with
     PCI mmap (Krzysztof Wilczyński)

   - Require CAP_SYS_ADMIN to write to sysfs 'resourceN_resize'
     attributes (Krzysztof Wilczyński)

   - Add security_locked_down(LOCKDOWN_PCI_ACCESS) to alpha PCI resource
     mmap path to match the generic path (Krzysztof Wilczyński)

   - Use kstrtobool() to parse the 'rom' attribute input to avoid the
     unexpected behavior of enabling the ROM when writing '0' with no
     trailing newline (Krzysztof Wilczyński)

  Resource management:

   - Improve resource claim logging for debuggability (Ilpo Järvinen)

   - Clean up several uses of const parameters (Ilpo Järvinen)

   - Check option ROM header signatures and lengths before accessing to
     avoid page faults and alignment faults (Guixin Liu)

  ASPM:

   - Don't reconfigure ASPM when entering low-power D-state; only do it
     when returning back to D0 (Carlos Bilbao)

  Power management:

   - During suspend, set power state to 'unknown' for all devices, not
     just those with drivers (Lukas Wunner)

   - Skip restoring Resizable BARs and VF Resizable BARs if device
     doesn't respond to config reads, to avoid invalid array accesses
     (Marco Nenciarini)

   - Add pci_suspend_retains_context() so drivers can tell whether
     devices retain internal state across suspend/resume, since some
     platforms reset devices on suspend; use this in nvme to avoid
     issues on Qcom RCs (Manivannan Sadhasivam)

  Power control:

   - Only to power on/off devices that actually support power control to
     avoid poking at incompatible devices mentioned in DT (Manivannan
     Sadhasivam)

  Virtualization and resets:

   - Log device readiness timeouts as errors, not warnings, because the
     device is likely unusable in this case (Bjorn Helgaas)

   - Wait for device readiness after soft reset (D3hot ->
     D0uninitialized transition), when the device may respond with
     Request Retry Status (RRS) if it needs more time to initialize
     (Bjorn Helgaas)

   - Drop unnecessary retries when restoring BARs because resets should
     now already include all required delays (Lukas Wunner)

   - Avoid FLR for MediaTek MT7925 WiFi, where FLR fails after a VM
     terminates uncleanly (Jose Ignacio Tornos Martinez)

   - Avoid SBR for Qualcomm WCN6855/WCN7850 WiFi, SDX62/SDX65 modems,
     which seem not to support it correctly (Jose Ignacio Tornos
     Martinez)

  Peer-to-peer DMA:

   - Prevent P2PDMA as well as CPU access to non-mappable BARs, e.g.,
     s390 ISM BARs (Matt Evans)

   - Add Intel QAT, DSA, IAA devices to whitelist (Lukas Wunner)

  Endpoint framework:

   - Add endpoint controller APIs for use by function drivers to
     discover auxiliary blocks like DMA engines (Koichiro Den)

   - Remember DesignWare eDMA engine base/size and expose them via the
     EPC aux-resource API (Koichiro Den)

   - Add endpoint embedded doorbell fallback, used if MSI allocation
     fails (Koichiro Den)

   - Validate BAR index and remove dead BAR read in endpoint doorbell
     test (Carlos Bilbao)

   - Unwind MSI/MSI-X vectors if NTB initialization fails part-way
     through (Koichiro Den)

   - Cache sleepable pci_irq_vector() value at ISR setup to avoid
     calling it from hardirq context (Koichiro Den)

   - Call sleepable pci_epc_raise_irq() from a work item instead of
     atomic context, e.g., when setting bits in NTB peer doorbells in
     the ntb_peer_db_set() path (Koichiro Den)

   - Report 0-based vNTB doorbell vector to account for link event 0 and
     historically skipped slot 1 (Koichiro Den)

   - Prevent configfs writes to vNTB db_count and other values that are
     already in use after EPC attach (Koichiro Den)

   - Account for vNTB db_valid reserved slots (link event 0 and
     historically skipped slot 1) so they don't appear as valid
     doorbells (Koichiro Den)

   - Implement vNTB .db_vector_count()/mask() for doorbells so clients
     can use multiple vectors and avoid thundering herds (Koichiro Den)

   - Report 0-based NTB doorbell vector to account for link event 0 and
     historically skipped slot 1 (Koichiro Den)

   - Fix doorbell bitmask and IRQ vector handling to clear only
     specified bits, use the correct vector for non-contiguous Linux IRQ
     numbers, and validate incoming vectors (Koichiro Den)

   - Implement NTB .db_vector_count()/mask() for doorbells so clients
     can use multiple vectors (Koichiro Den)

  Native PCIe controller infrastructure:

   - Add pci_host_common_link_train_delay() for the mandatory delay
     after > 5GT/s Link training completes and use it for cadence HPA,
     j721e, LGA; dwc; aardvark, mediatek-gen3, rzg3s (Hans Zhang)

   - Protect root bus removal with rescan lock in altera, brcmstb,
     cadence, dwc, iproc, mediatek, plda, rockchip to prevent
     use-after-free or crashes when racing with sysfs rescan or hotplug
     (Hans Zhang)

   - Add pci_host_common_parse_ports() for use by any native driver to
     parse Root Port properties (per-Link features like width, speed,
     PHY, power and reset control, etc should be described in Root Port
     stanzas, not the host bridge; currently only reset GPIOs
     implemented) (Sherry Sun)

  New native PCIe controller drivers:

4e14b965a6 PCI/sysfs: Convert legacy I/O and memory attributes to static definitions
Currently, legacy_io and legacy_mem are dynamically allocated and created
by pci_create_legacy_files(), with pci_adjust_legacy_attr() updating the
attributes at runtime on Alpha to rename them and shift the size for sparse
addressing.

Convert to four static const attributes (legacy_io, legacy_io_sparse,
legacy_mem, legacy_mem_sparse) with .is_bin_visible() callbacks that use
pci_legacy_has_sparse() to select the appropriate variant per bus.  The
sizes are compile-time constants and .size is set directly on each
attribute.

Register the groups in pcibus_groups[] under a HAVE_PCI_LEGACY guard so the
driver model handles creation and removal automatically.

Stub out pci_create_legacy_files() and pci_remove_legacy_files() as the
dynamic creation is no longer needed.  Remove the __weak
pci_adjust_legacy_attr(), Alpha's override, and its declaration from both
Alpha and PowerPC asm/pci.h headers.

574b5470f8 PCI/sysfs: Add __weak pci_legacy_has_sparse() helper
Currently, Alpha's sparse/dense legacy attribute handling is done via
pci_adjust_legacy_attr(), which updates dynamically allocated attributes at
runtime.  The upcoming conversion to static attributes needs a way to
determine sparse support at visibility check time.

Add a __weak pci_legacy_has_sparse() that returns false by default.  Alpha
overrides it to check has_sparse() on the bus host controller.

385ec1d407 alpha/PCI: Compute legacy size in pci_mmap_legacy_page_range()
Currently, pci_mmap_legacy_page_range() reads the legacy resource size from
bus->legacy_mem->size or bus->legacy_io->size.  This couples the mmap
bounds check to the struct pci_bus fields that will be removed when legacy
attributes are converted to static definitions.

Compute the size directly using PCI_LEGACY_MEM_SIZE (0x100000) and
PCI_LEGACY_IO_SIZE (0xffff) macros, and shift by 5 bits for sparse systems.

b7a57ffd4d alpha/PCI: Convert resource files to static attributes
Previously, Alpha's PCI resource files (resourceN, resourceN_sparse,
resourceN_dense) were dynamically created by pci_create_resource_files(),
which overrides the generic __weak implementation.  The previous code
allocated bin_attributes at runtime and managed them via the res_attr[] and
res_attr_wc[] fields in struct pci_dev.

Convert to static const attributes with three attribute groups (plain,
sparse, dense), each with an .is_bin_visible() callback that checks
resource length, has_sparse(), and sparse_mem_mmap_fits().  A .bin_size()
callback provides the resource size to the kernfs node, with the sparse
variant shifting by 5 bits for byte-level addressing.

Register the groups via ARCH_PCI_DEV_GROUPS so the driver model handles
creation and removal automatically.

Use the new pci_resource_is_mem() helper for the type check, replacing the
open-coded bitwise flag test.

Finally, remove pci_create_resource_files(), pci_remove_resource_files(),
pci_create_attr(), and pci_create_one_attr() which are no longer needed.

is excessive for normal operation.

7d9779cb10 alpha/PCI: Use BAR index in sysfs attr->private instead of resource pointer
Currently, Alpha's pci_create_one_attr() stores a resource pointer in
attr->private, and pci_mmap_resource() loops through all BARs to find
the matching index.

Store the BAR index directly in attr->private and retrieve the resource via
pci_resource_n().  This eliminates the loop and aligns with the convention
used by the generic PCI sysfs code.

The PCI core change was first added in the commit dca40b186b ("PCI: Use
BAR index in sysfs attr->private instead of resource pointer").

PCI BARs.

The generic version has had this check since commit eb627e1772 ("PCI:

attacks when the kernel is locked down.

Add the same check to Alpha's pci_mmap_resource().

strncpy() has no remaining callers in the kernel[1]. Remove the
alpha-specific assembly implementation and __HAVE_ARCH_STRNCPY define,
falling back to the generic version in lib/string.c.

The __stxncpy helper (stxncpy.S/ev6-stxncpy.S) is retained as it is
still used by strncat.

Pull interrupt core updates from Thomas Gleixner:

  - Rework of /proc/interrupt handling:

    /proc/interrupts was subject to micro optimizations for a long time,
    but most of the low hanging fruit was left on the table. This rework
    addresses the major time consuming issues:

      - Printing a long series of zeros one by one via a format string
        instead of counting subsequent zeros and emitting a string
        constant.

      - Simplify and cache the conditions whether interrupts should be
        printed

      - Use a proper iteration over the interrupt descriptor xarray
        instead of walking and testing one by one.

      - Provide helper functions for the architecture code to emit the
        architecture specific counters

      - Convert the counter structure in x86 to an array, which
        simplifies the output and add mechanisms to suppress unused
        architecture interrupts, which just occupy space for nothing.
        Adopt the new core mechanisms.

    This adjusts the gdb scripts related to interrupt counter statistics
    to work with the new mechanisms.

  - Prevent a string overflow in the /proc/irq/$N/ directory name
    creation code.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Features:

   - Reduce pipe->mutex contention by pre-allocating pages outside the
     lock in anon_pipe_write().

     anon_pipe_write() called alloc_page() once per page while holding
     pipe->mutex. The allocation can sleep doing direct reclaim and runs
     memcg charging, which extends the critical section and stalls any
     concurrent reader on the same mutex. Now up to 8 pages are
     pre-allocated before the mutex is taken, leftovers are recycled
     into the per-pipe tmp_page[] cache before unlock, and any remainder
     is released after unlock, keeping the allocator out of the critical
     section on both sides. On a writers x readers sweep with 64KB
     writes against a 1 MB pipe throughput improves 6-28% and average
     write latency drops 5-22%; under memory pressure - when the cost of
     holding the mutex across reclaim is highest - throughput improves
     21-48% and latency drops 17-33%. The microbenchmark is added to
     selftests.

   - uaccess/sockptr: fix the ignored_trailing logic in
     copy_struct_to_user() to behave as documented and the usize check
     in copy_struct_from_sockptr() for user pointers, and add
     copy_struct_{from,to}_bounce_buffer() and copy_struct_to_sockptr()
     helpers for upcoming users (IPPROTO_SMBDIRECT, IPPROTO_QUIC).

   - bpf: add a sleepable bpf_real_inode() kfunc that resolves the real
     inode backing a dentry via d_real_inode(). On overlayfs the inode
     attached to the dentry doesn't carry the underlying device
     information; this is used by the filesystem restriction BPF program
     that was merged into systemd.

   - docs: add guidelines for submitting new filesystems, motivated by
     the maintenance burden abandoned and untestable filesystems impose
     on VFS developers, blocking infrastructure work like folio
     conversions and iomap migration.

  Fixes:

   - libfs: set SB_I_NOEXEC and SB_I_NODEV by default in init_pseudo()
     and drop the now-redundant assignments in callers. This began as a
     one-line dma-buf fix for a path_noexec() warning; a pseudo
     filesystem has no reason not to set SB_I_NOEXEC. All init_pseudo()
     callers were audited: the only visible effect is on dma-buf where
     SB_I_NOEXEC silences the warning.

   - Handle set_blocksize() failures in legacy filesystems (bfs, hpfs,
     qnx4, jfs, befs, affs, isofs, minix, ntfs3, omfs). Mounting a
     device with a sector size > PAGE_SIZE crashed roughly half of them;
     the rest had the same missing error handling pattern. Plus a
     follow-up releasing the superblock buffer_head when setting the
     minix v3 block size fails.

   - mount: honour SB_NOUSER in the new mount API.

   - fs/fcntl: fix a SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order in fasync signaling by
     switching the process-group paths of send_sigio() and send_sigurg()
     from read_lock(&tasklist_lock) to RCU, matching the single-PID
     path.

   - vfs: add an FS_USERNS_DELEGATABLE flag and set it for NFS, fixing
     delegated NFS mounts (fsopen() in a container with the mount
     performed by a privileged daemon) that broke when non-init
     s_user_ns was tied to FS_USERNS_MOUNT.

   - selftests/namespaces: fix a hang in nsid_test where an unreaped
     grandchild kept the TAP pipe write-end open, a waitpid(-1) race in
     listns_efault_test, and a false FAIL on kernels without listns()
     where the tests should SKIP.

   - filelock: fix the break_lease() stub signature for
     CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING=n.

   - init/initramfs_test: wait for the async initramfs unpacking before
     running; the test and do_populate_rootfs() share the parser state.

   - fs/coredump: reduce redundant log noise in
     validate_coredump_safety().

   - iomap: pass the correct length to fserror_report_io() in
     __iomap_write_begin().

   - backing-file: fix the backing_file_open() kerneldoc.

  Cleanups:

   - initramfs: refactor the cpio hex header parsing to use hex2bin()
     instead of the hand-rolled simple_strntoul() which is reverted, and
     extend the initramfs KUnit tests to cover header fields with 0x
     prefixes.

   - Replace __get_free_pages() and friends with kmalloc()/kzalloc()
     across quota, proc, ocfs2/dlm, nilfs2, nfs, nfsd, libfs, jfs, jbd2,
     isofs, fuse, select, namespace, configfs, binfmt_misc, bfs, and the
     do_mounts init code - part of the larger work of replacing page
     allocator calls with kmalloc().

   - Use clear_and_wake_up_bit() in unlock_buffer() and
     journal_end_buffer_io_sync() instead of open-coding the sequence.

   - Drop unused VFS exports: unexport drop_super_exclusive(), remove
     start_removing_user_path_at(), and fold __start_removing_path()
     into start_removing_path().

   - fs/read_write: narrow the __kernel_write() export with
     EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_MODULES().

   - vfs: uapi: retire octal and hex constants in favor of (1 << n) for
     the O_ flags. Finding a free bit for a new flag across the
     architectures was needlessly hard with the mixed bases.

   - dcache: add extra sanity checks of dead dentries in dentry_free()
     via a new DENTRY_WARN_ONCE() that also prints d_flags.

   - iov_iter: use kmemdup_array() in dup_iter() to harden the
     allocation against multiplication overflow.

   - fs/pipe: write to ->poll_usage only once.

   - vfs: remove an always-taken if-branch in find_next_fd().

   - dcache: use kmalloc_flex() for struct external_name in __d_alloc().

   - namei: use QSTR() instead of QSTR_INIT() in path_pts().

   - sync_file_range: delete dead S_ISLNK code.

   - Comment fixes: retire a stale comment in fget_task_next() and fix
     assorted spelling mistakes"

Pull openat2 updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Features:

   - Add O_EMPTYPATH to openat(2)/openat2(2). To get an operable file
     descriptor from an O_PATH file descriptor it is possible to use
     openat(fd, ".", O_DIRECTORY) for directories, but other file types
     require going through open("/proc/<pid>/fd/<nr>") and thus depend
     on a functioning procfs.

     With O_EMPTYPATH an empty path string is accepted and LOOKUP_EMPTY
     is set at path resolution time, allowing to reopen the file behind
     the file descriptor directly. Selftests are included.

   - Add an OPENAT2_REGULAR flag for openat2(2) which refuses to open
     anything but regular files with the new EFTYPE error code.

     This implements the "ability to only open regular files" feature
     requested by userspace via uapi-group.org and protects services
     from being redirected to fifos, device nodes, and friends.

     All atomic_open implementations were audited for OPENAT2_REGULAR
     handling. Explicit checks were added to ceph, gfs2, nfs (v4), and
     cifs/smb - these are the filesystems whose atomic_open can
     encounter an existing non-regular file and would otherwise call
     finish_open() on it or return a misleading error code.

     The remaining implementations (9p, fuse, vboxsf, nfs v2/v3) only
     call finish_open() on freshly created files and use
     finish_no_open() for lookup hits, letting the VFS catch non-regular
     files via the do_open() safety net.

  Cleanups:

   - Migrate the openat2 selftests to the kselftest harness and move
     them under selftests/filesystems/. The tests were written in the
     early days of selftests' TAP support and the modern kselftest
     harness is much easier to follow and maintain. The contents of the
     tests are unchanged and the new emptypath tests are ported on top.

   - Make the LAST_XXX last-type constants private to fs/namei.c. The
     only user outside of fs/namei.c was ksmbd which only needs to know
     whether the last component is a regular one, so
     vfs_path_parent_lookup() now performs the LAST_NORM check
     internally. The ints are replaced with a dedicated enum last_type"

0da79c259a vfs: uapi: retire octal and hex numbers in favor of (1 << n) for O_ flags
A recent build failure[1] exposed the diffculty of working with the
current octal and hex definitions of O_ flags when trying to find a gap
for a new flag. This difficulty is compounded by the fact that O_ flags
may have architectural specific values.

Replace the hex/octal #defines, which are hard to parse when looking for
free bits, with explicit bit shifts like (1 << 11). Also, add comments
that identify which architectures redefine some of the seemingly free
("cursed") bits in uapi/asm-generic/fcntl.h. These should not be used to
define new O_ flags (for now, at least).

The translastion was done with Claude Opus 4.8, and verified with a
(non-AI) gawk script. The accounting of which architectures claim
which bit-gaps in uapi/asm-generic/fcntl.h is also done by hand.

34594da765 genirq/proc: Increase default interrupt number precision to four
Quite some architectures have four character wide acronyms for architecture
specific interrupts like IPI, NMI, etc.

The default precision of printing the Linux device interrupt numbers is
three, which causes quite some code to play games with adding or omitting
space after the acronym and the colon in order to keep the per CPU numbers
properly aligned.

Increase the default number precision to four in the core code and get rid
of the space games all over the place. At the same time align all
architecture specific descriptor texts left so that they show up in the
same column as the interrupt chip names, which makes the output more
uniform accross architectures. Fix up the GDB script to this new scheme as
well.

a494d3c8d5 ring-buffer: Flush and stop persistent ring buffer on panic
On real hardware, panic and machine reboot may not flush hardware cache
to memory. This means the persistent ring buffer, which relies on a
coherent state of memory, may not have its events written to the buffer
and they may be lost. Moreover, there may be inconsistency with the
counters which are used for validation of the integrity of the
persistent ring buffer which may cause all data to be discarded.

To avoid this issue, stop recording of the ring buffer on panic and
flush the cache of the ring buffer's memory.

e38b27199e console: mdacon: remove this obsolete driver
The mdacon driver supports using ISA MDA or Hercules-compatible display
adapters as a secondary text console. This was commonly used in the
1990s and earlier for debugging software which took over the primary
display. It is highly unlikely anyone is doing so nowadays because
serial consoles and much better methods of debugging exist.

The driver is not enabled by any defconfig, nor any of the
dozens of distro configs collected at [1]. It has been relegated to VTs
13-16 since commit 0b9cf3aa6b ("mdacon messing up default vc's - set
default to vc13-16 again") in Linux 2.6.27 (and before Linux 2.5.53 -
see the link in the message of the above commit). The change in 2.6.27
was done because it was incorrectly detecting non-MDA adapters as MDA
and taking over all VTs, rendering them unusable.

Furthermore, vgacon supports using MDA/Hercules-compatible adapters as
the primary text console, so any systems with only one of these
adapters were already using vgacon and will not experience any loss in
functionality from the removal of this driver.

Given all of these factors, the mdacon driver is likely entirely
unused. Remove it.

that is over two decades old and no longer in active use.

Since yellowfin was the last remaining driver in the packetengines

This eliminates dead code and reduces the overall maintenance burden

 - "cleanup the RAID5 XOR library" (Christoph Hellwig)

   A quite far-reaching cleanup to this code. I can't do better than to
   quote Christoph:

     "The XOR library used for the RAID5 parity is a bit of a mess right
      now. The main file sits in crypto/ despite not being cryptography
      and not using the crypto API, with the generic implementations
      sitting in include/asm-generic and the arch implementations
      sitting in an asm/ header in theory. The latter doesn't work for
      many cases, so architectures often build the code directly into
      the core kernel, or create another module for the architecture
      code.

      Change this to a single module in lib/ that also contains the
      architecture optimizations, similar to the library work Eric
      Biggers has done for the CRC and crypto libraries later. After
      that it changes to better calling conventions that allow for
      smarter architecture implementations (although none is contained
      here yet), and uses static_call to avoid indirection function call
      overhead"

Pull pci updates from Bjorn Helgaas:
 "Enumeration:

   - Allow TLP Processing Hints to be enabled for RCiEPs (George Abraham
     P)

   - Enable AtomicOps only if we know the Root Port supports them (Gerd
     Bayer)

   - Don't enable AtomicOps for RCiEPs since none of them need Atomic
     Ops and we can't tell whether the Root Complex would support them
     (Gerd Bayer)

   - Leave Precision Time Measurement disabled until a driver enables it
     to avoid PCIe errors (Mika Westerberg)

   - Make pci_set_vga_state() fail if bridge doesn't support VGA
     routing, i.e., PCI_BRIDGE_CTL_VGA is not writable, and return
     errors to vga_get() callers including userspace via
     /dev/vga_arbiter (Simon Richter)

   - Validate max-link-speed from DT in j721e, brcmstb, mediatek-gen3,
     rzg3s drivers (where the actual controller constraints are known),
     and remove validation from the generic OF DT accessor (Hans Zhang)

   - Remove pc110pad driver (no longer useful after 486 CPU support
     removed) and no_pci_devices() (pc110pad was the last user) (Dmitry
     Torokhov, Heiner Kallweit)

  Resource management:

   - Prevent assigning space to unimplemented bridge windows; previously
     we mistakenly assumed prefetchable window existed and assigned
     space and put a BAR there (Ahmed Naseef)

   - Avoid shrinking bridge windows to fit in the initial Root Port
     window; fixes one problem with devices with large BARs connected
     via switches, e.g., Thunderbolt (Ilpo Järvinen)

   - Pass full extent of empty space, not just the aligned space, to
     resource_alignf callback so free space before the requested
     alignment can be used (Ilpo Järvinen)

   - Place small resources before larger ones for better utilization of
     address space (Ilpo Järvinen)

   - Fix alignment calculation for resource size larger than align,
     e.g., bridge windows larger than the 1MB required alignment (Ilpo
     Järvinen)

  Reset:

   - Update slot handling so all ARI functions are treated as being in
     the same slot. They're all reset by Secondary Bus Reset, but
     previously drivers of ARI functions that appeared to be on a
     non-zero device weren't notified and fatal hardware errors could
     result (Keith Busch)

   - Make sysfs reset_subordinate hotplug safe to avoid spurious hotplug
     events (Keith Busch)

   - Hide Secondary Bus Reset ('bus') from sysfs reset_methods if masked
     by CXL because it has no effect (Vidya Sagar)

   - Avoid FLR for AMD NPU device, where it causes the device to hang
     (Lizhi Hou)

   - Initialize ratelimit info so DPC and EDR paths log AER error
     information (Kuppuswamy Sathyanarayanan)

  Power control:

   - Add UPD720201/UPD720202 USB 3.0 xHCI Host Controller .compatible so
     generic pwrctrl driver can control it (Neil Armstrong)

  Hotplug:

   - Set LED_HW_PLUGGABLE for NPEM hotplug-capable ports so LED core
     doesn't complain when setting brightness fails because the endpoint
     is gone (Richard Cheng)

  Peer-to-peer DMA:

   - Allow wildcards in list of host bridges that support peer-to-peer
     DMA between hierarchy domains and add all Google SoCs (Jacob
     Moroni)

     update host pci_endpoint_test to skip doorbell testing if not
     advertised by endpoint (Koichiro Den)

   - Return 0, not remaining timeout, when MHI eDMA ops complete so
     mhi_ep_ring_add_element() doesn't interpret non-zero as failure
     (Daniel Hodges)

   - Remove vntb and ntb duplicate resource teardown that leads to oops
     when .allow_link() fails or .drop_link() is called (Koichiro Den)

   - Disable vntb delayed work before clearing BAR mappings and
     doorbells to avoid oops caused by doing the work after resources
     have been torn down (Koichiro Den)

   - Add a way to describe reserved subregions within BARs, e.g.,
     platform-owned fixed register windows, and use it for the RK3588
     BAR4 DMA ctrl window (Koichiro Den)

   - Add BAR_DISABLED for BARs that will never be available to an EPF
     driver, and change some BAR_RESERVED annotations to BAR_DISABLED
     (Niklas Cassel)

   - Add NTB .get_dma_dev() callback for cases where DMA API requires a
     different device, e.g., vNTB devices (Koichiro Den)

   - Add reserved region types for MSI-X Table and PBA so Endpoint
     controllers can them as describe hardware-owned regions in a
     BAR_RESERVED BAR (Manikanta Maddireddy)

   - Make Tegra194/234 BAR0 programmable and remove 1MB size limit
     (Manikanta Maddireddy)

   - Expose Tegra BAR2 (MSI-X) and BAR4 (DMA) as 64-bit BAR_RESERVED
     (Manikanta Maddireddy)

   - Add Tegra194 and Tegra234 device table entries to pci_endpoint_test

     registered in Root Port mode (Manikanta Maddireddy)

   - Handle 'nvidia,refclk-select' as optional (Vidya Sagar)

     erratum (Vidya Sagar)

   - Delay post-PERST# cleanup until core is powered on to avoid CBB

bd39fc8134 alpha: Define pgprot_modify to silence tautological comparison warnings
Alpha's pgprot_noncached, pgprot_writecombine, and pgprot_device are
all identity macros, so the generic pgprot_modify() produces
tautological self-comparisons that GCC warns about:

  include/linux/pgtable.h:1701:25: warning: self-comparison always
  evaluates to true [-Wtautological-compare]

Since all caching attributes are no-ops on Alpha, define
pgprot_modify() to simply return newprot.

55b22075f7 alpha: add support for SECCOMP and SECCOMP_FILTER
Add SECCOMP and SECCOMP_FILTER support to the Alpha architecture and fix
syscall entry and ptrace issues uncovered by the seccomp-bpf selftests.

The syscall entry path is reworked to consistently track syscall state
using r0, r1 and r2:
  - r1 holds the active syscall number
  - r2 preserves the original syscall number for restart
  - r0 carries the return value, with r19 (a3) indicating success/error

This allows syscall restarts to be permitted only for valid ERESTART*
return codes and prevents kernel-internal restart values from leaking to
userspace. The syscall tracing error marker is corrected to use the saved
syscall number slot, matching the Alpha ABI.

Additionally, implement minimal PTRACE_GETREGSET and PTRACE_SETREGSET
support for NT_PRSTATUS, exporting struct pt_regs directly. This fixes
ptrace-based seccomp tests that previously failed with -EIO.

With these changes, seccomp-bpf and ptrace syscall tests pass reliably on
Alpha.

6215d9f447 arch, mm: consolidate empty_zero_page
Reduce 22 declarations of empty_zero_page to 3 and 23 declarations of
ZERO_PAGE() to 4.

Every architecture defines empty_zero_page that way or another, but for the
most of them it is always a page aligned page in BSS and most definitions
of ZERO_PAGE do virt_to_page(empty_zero_page).

Move Linus vetted x86 definition of empty_zero_page and ZERO_PAGE() to the
core MM and drop these definitions in architectures that do not implement
colored zero page (MIPS and s390).

ZERO_PAGE() remains a macro because turning it to a wrapper for a static
inline causes severe pain in header dependencies.

For the most part the change is mechanical, with these being noteworthy:

* alpha: aliased empty_zero_page with ZERO_PGE that was also used for boot
  parameters. Switching to a generic empty_zero_page removes the aliasing
  and keeps ZERO_PGE for boot parameters only
* arm64: uses __pa_symbol() in ZERO_PAGE() so that definition of
  ZERO_PAGE() is kept intact.
* m68k/parisc/um: allocated empty_zero_page from memblock,
  although they do not support zero page coloring and having it in BSS
  will work fine.
* sparc64 can have empty_zero_page in BSS rather allocate it, but it
  can't use virt_to_page() for BSS. Keep it's definition of ZERO_PAGE()
  but instead of allocating it, make mem_map_zero point to
  empty_zero_page.
* sh: used empty_zero_page for boot parameters at the very early boot.
  Rename the parameters page to boot_params_page and let sh use the generic
  empty_zero_page.
* hexagon: had an amusing comment about empty_zero_page

	/* A handy thing to have if one has the RAM. Declared in head.S */

  that unfortunately had to go :)

503793b134 alpha: move the XOR code to lib/raid/
Move the optimized XOR code out of line into lib/raid.

Note that the giant inline assembly block might be better off as a
separate assembly source file now, but I'll leave that to the alpha
maintainers.

8678591b47 kbuild: Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS
Commit 3e86e4d74c ("kbuild: keep .modinfo section in
vmlinux.unstripped") added .modinfo to ELF_DETAILS while removing it
from COMMON_DISCARDS, as it was needed in vmlinux.unstripped and
ELF_DETAILS was present in all architecture specific vmlinux linker
scripts. While this shuffle is fine for vmlinux, ELF_DETAILS and
COMMON_DISCARDS may be used by other linker scripts, such as the s390
and x86 compressed boot images, which may not expect to have a .modinfo
section. In certain circumstances, this could result in a bootloader
failing to load the compressed kernel [1].

Commit ddc6cbef3e ("s390/boot/vmlinux.lds.S: Ensure bzImage ends with
SecureBoot trailer") recently addressed this for the s390 bzImage but
the same bug remains for arm, parisc, and x86. The presence of .modinfo
in the x86 bzImage was the root cause of the issue worked around with
commit d50f210913 ("kbuild: align modinfo section for Secureboot
Authenticode EDK2 compat"). misc.c in arch/x86/boot/compressed includes
lib/decompress_unzstd.c, which in turn includes lib/xxhash.c and its
MODULE_LICENSE / MODULE_DESCRIPTION macros due to the STATIC definition.

Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS into its own macro and handle it in
all vmlinux linker scripts. Discard .modinfo in the places where it was
previously being discarded from being in COMMON_DISCARDS, as it has
never been necessary in those uses.

bf4afc53b7 Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

69050f8d6d treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Scheduler Kconfig space updates:

   - Further consolidate configurable preemption modes (Peter Zijlstra)

     Reduce the number of architectures that are allowed to offer
     PREEMPT_NONE and PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, reducing the number of
     preemption models from four to just two: 'full' and 'lazy' on
     up-to-date architectures (arm64, loongarch, powerpc, riscv, s390,
     x86).

     None and voluntary are only available as legacy features on
     platforms that don't implement lazy preemption yet, or which don't
     even support preemption.

     The goal is to eventually remove cond_resched() and voluntary
     preemption altogether.

  RSEQ based 'scheduler time slice extension' support (Thomas Gleixner
  and Peter Zijlstra):

  This allows a thread to request a time slice extension when it enters
  a critical section to avoid contention on a resource when the thread
  is scheduled out inside of the critical section.

   - Add fields and constants for time slice extension
   - Provide static branch for time slice extensions
   - Add statistics for time slice extensions
   - Add prctl() to enable time slice extensions
   - Implement sys_rseq_slice_yield()
   - Implement syscall entry work for time slice extensions
   - Implement time slice extension enforcement timer
   - Reset slice extension when scheduled
   - Implement rseq_grant_slice_extension()
   - entry: Hook up rseq time slice extension
   - selftests: Implement time slice extension test
   - Allow registering RSEQ with slice extension
   - Move slice_ext_nsec to debugfs
   - Lower default slice extension
   - selftests/rseq: Add rseq slice histogram script

  Scheduler performance/scalability improvements:

   - Update rq->avg_idle when a task is moved to an idle CPU, which
     improves the scalability of various workloads (Shubhang Kaushik)

   - Reorder fields in 'struct rq' for better caching (Blake Jones)

   - Fair scheduler SMP NOHZ balancing code speedups (Shrikanth Hegde):
      - Move checking for nohz cpus after time check
      - Change likelyhood of nohz.nr_cpus
      - Remove nohz.nr_cpus and use weight of cpumask instead

   - Avoid false sharing for sched_clock_irqtime (Wangyang Guo)

   - Cleanups (Yury Norov):
      - Drop useless cpumask_empty() in find_energy_efficient_cpu()
      - Simplify task_numa_find_cpu()
      - Use cpumask_weight_and() in sched_balance_find_dst_group()

  DL scheduler updates:

   - Add a deadline server for sched_ext tasks (by Andrea Righi and Joel
     Fernandes, with fixes by Peter Zijlstra)

  RT scheduler updates:

   - Skip currently executing CPU in rto_next_cpu() (Chen Jinghuang)

  Entry code updates and performance improvements (Jinjie Ruan)

  This is part of the scheduler tree in this cycle due to inter-
  dependencies with the RSEQ based time slice extension work:

    - Remove unused syscall argument from syscall_trace_enter()
    - Rework syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work() for architecture reuse
    - Add arch_ptrace_report_syscall_entry/exit()
    - Inline syscall_exit_work() and syscall_trace_enter()

  Scheduler core updates (Peter Zijlstra):

   - Rework sched_class::wakeup_preempt() and rq_modified_*()
   - Avoid rq->lock bouncing in sched_balance_newidle()
   - Rename rcu_dereference_check_sched_domain() =>
            rcu_dereference_sched_domain()
   - <linux/compiler_types.h>: Add the __signed_scalar_typeof() helper

  Fair scheduler updates/refactoring (Peter Zijlstra and Ingo Molnar):

   - Fold the sched_avg update
   - Change rcu_dereference_check_sched_domain() to rcu-sched
   - Switch to rcu_dereference_all()
   - Remove superfluous rcu_read_lock()
   - Limit hrtick work
   - Join two #ifdef CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED blocks
   - Clean up comments in 'struct cfs_rq'
   - Separate se->vlag from se->vprot
   - Rename cfs_rq::avg_load to cfs_rq::sum_weight
   - Rename cfs_rq::avg_vruntime to ::sum_w_vruntime & helper functions
   - Introduce and use the vruntime_cmp() and vruntime_op() wrappers for
     wrapped-signed aritmetics
   - Sort out 'blocked_load*' namespace noise

  Scheduler debugging code updates:

   - Export hidden tracepoints to modules (Gabriele Monaco)

   - Convert copy_from_user() + kstrtouint() to kstrtouint_from_user()
     (Fushuai Wang)

   - Add assertions to QUEUE_CLASS (Peter Zijlstra)

   - hrtimer: Fix tracing oddity (Thomas Gleixner)

  Misc fixes and cleanups:

   - Re-evaluate scheduling when migrating queued tasks out of throttled
     cgroups (Zicheng Qu)

   - Remove task_struct->faults_disabled_mapping (Christoph Hellwig)

   - Fix math notation errors in avg_vruntime comment (Zhan Xusheng)

44b079583f alpha: mm: enable MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE
On a 64-bit system, madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) may cause a large number of
empty PTE page table pages (such as 100GB+).  To resolve this problem,
first enable MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE to prepare for enabling the
PT_RECLAIM feature, which resolves this problem.

4267739cab arch, mm: consolidate initialization of SPARSE memory model
Every architecture calls sparse_init() during setup_arch() although the
data structures created by sparse_init() are not used until the
initialization of the core MM.

Beside the code duplication, calling sparse_init() from architecture
specific code causes ordering differences of vmemmap and HVO
initialization on different architectures.

Move the call to sparse_init() from architecture specific code to
free_area_init() to ensure that vmemmap and HVO initialization order is
always the same.

d49004c5f0 arch, mm: consolidate initialization of nodes, zones and memory map
To initialize node, zone and memory map data structures every architecture
calls free_area_init() during setup_arch() and passes it an array of zone
limits.

Beside code duplication it creates "interesting" ordering cases between
allocation and initialization of hugetlb and the memory map.  Some
architectures allocate hugetlb pages very early in setup_arch() in certain
cases, some only create hugetlb CMA areas in setup_arch() and sometimes
hugetlb allocations happen mm_core_init().

With arch_zone_limits_init() helper available now on all architectures it
is no longer necessary to call free_area_init() from architecture setup
code.  Rather core MM initialization can call arch_zone_limits_init() in a
single place.

This allows to unify ordering of hugetlb vs memory map allocation and
initialization.

Remove the call to free_area_init() from architecture specific code and
place it in a new mm_core_init_early() function that is called immediately
after setup_arch().

After this refactoring it is possible to consolidate hugetlb allocations
and eliminate differences in ordering of hugetlb and memory map
initialization among different architectures.

As the first step of this consolidation move hugetlb_bootmem_alloc() to
mm_core_early_init().

ba1c86874e alpha: introduce arch_zone_limits_init()
Patch series "arch, mm: consolidate hugetlb early reservation", v3.

Order in which early memory reservation for hugetlb happens depends on
architecture, on configuration options and on command line parameters.

Some architectures rely on the core MM to call hugetlb_bootmem_alloc()
while others call it very early to allow pre-allocation of HVO-style
vmemmap.

When hugetlb_cma is supported by an architecture it is initialized during
setup_arch() and then later hugetlb_init code needs to understand did it
happen or not.

To make everything consistent and unified, both reservation of hugetlb
memory from bootmem and creation of CMA areas for hugetlb must be called
from core MM initialization and it would have been a simple change. 
However, HVO-style pre-initialization ordering requirements slightly
complicate things and for HVO pre-init to work sparse and memory map
should be initialized after hugetlb reservations.

This required pulling out the call to free_area_init() out of setup_arch()
path and moving it MM initialization and this is what the first 23 patches
do.

These changes are deliberately split into per-arch patches that change how
the zone limits are calculated for each architecture and the patches 22
and 23 just remove the calls to free_area_init() and sprase_init() from
arch/*.

Patch 24 is a simple cleanup for MIPS.

Patches 25 and 26 actually consolidate hugetlb reservations and patches 27
and 28 perform some aftermath cleanups.


This patch (of 29):

Move calculations of zone limits to a dedicated arch_zone_limits_init()
function.

Later MM core will use this function as an architecture specific callback
during nodes and zones initialization and thus there won't be a need to
call free_area_init() from every architecture.

dd5712f337 alpha: fix user-space corruption during memory compaction
Alpha systems can suffer sporadic user-space crashes and heap
corruption when memory compaction is enabled.

Symptoms include SIGSEGV, glibc allocator failures (e.g. "unaligned
tcache chunk"), and compiler internal errors. The failures disappear
when compaction is disabled or when using global TLB invalidation.

The root cause is insufficient TLB shootdown during page migration.
Alpha relies on ASN-based MM context rollover for instruction cache
coherency, but this alone is not sufficient to prevent stale data or
instruction translations from surviving migration.

Fix this by introducing a migration-specific helper that combines:
  - MM context invalidation (ASN rollover),
  - immediate per-CPU TLB invalidation (TBI),
  - synchronous cross-CPU shootdown when required.

The helper is used only by migration/compaction paths to avoid changing
global TLB semantics.

Additionally, update flush_tlb_other(), pte_clear(), to use
READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() for correct SMP memory ordering.

This fixes observed crashes on both UP and SMP Alpha systems.

99d2592023 rseq: Implement sys_rseq_slice_yield()
Provide a new syscall which has the only purpose to yield the CPU after the
kernel granted a time slice extension.

sched_yield() is not suitable for that because it unconditionally
schedules, but the end of the time slice extension is not required to
schedule when the task was already preempted. This also allows to have a
strict check for termination to catch user space invoking random syscalls
including sched_yield() from a time slice extension region.

8e38607aa4 treewide: provide a generic clear_user_page() variant
Patch series "mm: folio_zero_user: clear page ranges", v11.

This series adds clearing of contiguous page ranges for hugepages.

The series improves on the current discontiguous clearing approach in two
ways:

  - clear pages in a contiguous fashion.
  - use batched clearing via clear_pages() wherever exposed.

The first is useful because it allows us to make much better use of
hardware prefetchers.

The second, enables advertising the real extent to the processor.  Where
specific instructions support it (ex.  string instructions on x86; "mops"
on arm64 etc), a processor can optimize based on this because, instead of
seeing a sequence of 8-byte stores, or a sequence of 4KB pages, it sees a
larger unit being operated on.

For instance, AMD Zen uarchs (for extents larger than LLC-size) switch to
a mode where they start eliding cacheline allocation.  This is helpful not
just because it results in higher bandwidth, but also because now the
cache is not evicting useful cachelines and replacing them with zeroes.

Demand faulting a 64GB region shows performance improvement:

 $ perf bench mem mmap -p $pg-sz -f demand -s 64GB -l 5

                       baseline              +series
                   (GBps +- %stdev)      (GBps +- %stdev)

   pg-sz=2MB       11.76 +- 1.10%        25.34 +- 1.18% [*]   +115.47%  	preempt=*

   pg-sz=1GB       24.85 +- 2.41%        39.22 +- 2.32%       + 57.82%  	preempt=none|voluntary
   pg-sz=1GB         (similar)           52.73 +- 0.20% [#]   +112.19%  	preempt=full|lazy

 [*] This improvement is because switching to sequential clearing
  allows the hardware prefetchers to do a much better job.

 [#] For pg-sz=1GB a large part of the improvement is because of the
  cacheline elision mentioned above. preempt=full|lazy improves upon
  that because, not needing explicit invocations of cond_resched() to
  ensure reasonable preemption latency, it can clear the full extent
  as a single unit. In comparison the maximum extent used for
  preempt=none|voluntary is PROCESS_PAGES_NON_PREEMPT_BATCH (32MB).

  When provided the full extent the processor forgoes allocating
  cachelines on this path almost entirely.

  (The hope is that eventually, in the fullness of time, the lazy
   preemption model will be able to do the same job that none or
   voluntary models are used for, allowing us to do away with
   cond_resched().)

Raghavendra also tested previous version of the series on AMD Genoa and
sees similar improvement [1] with preempt=lazy.

  $ perf bench mem map -p $page-size -f populate -s 64GB -l 10

                    base               patched              change
   pg-sz=2MB       12.731939 GB/sec    26.304263 GB/sec     106.6%
   pg-sz=1GB       26.232423 GB/sec    61.174836 GB/sec     133.2%


This patch (of 8):

Let's drop all variants that effectively map to clear_page() and provide
it in a generic variant instead.

We'll use the macro clear_user_page to indicate whether an architecture
provides it's own variant.

Also, clear_user_page() is only called from the generic variant of
clear_user_highpage(), so define it only if the architecture does not
provide a clear_user_highpage().  And, for simplicity define it in
linux/highmem.h.

Note that for parisc, clear_page() and clear_user_page() map to
clear_page_asm(), so we can just get rid of the custom clear_user_page()
implementation.  There is a clear_user_page_asm() function on parisc, that
seems to be unused.  Not sure what's up with that.
