support. We also get a fix for a race condition that was fairly rare
unless while stress testing the alarms.

RTC for 6.18

Subsystem:
 - Fix race when setting alarm
 - Ensure alarm irq is enabled when UIE is enabled
 - remove unneeded 'fast_io' parameter in regmap_config

New driver:
 - SpacemiT P1 RTC

Drivers:
 - efi: Remove wakeup functionality
 - optee: add alarms support
 - s3c: Drop support for S3C2410
 - zynqmp: Restore alarm functionality after kexec transition

please pull one more belated x86/core lineup for v6.18-rc1.

The pile conflicts with your tree but not too badly. I've added a merge
conflict resolution I've done locally, at the end of this mail to compare
notes.

Thx.

- Remove a bunch of asm implementing condition flags testing in KVM's
  emulator in favor of int3_emulate_jcc() which is written in C

- Replace KVM fastops with C-based stubs which avoids problems with the
  fastop infra related to latter not adhering to the C ABI due to their
  special calling convention and, more importantly, bypassing compiler
  control-flow integrity checking because they're written in asm

- Remove wrongly used static branches and other ugliness accumulated
  over time in hyperv's hypercall implementation with a proper static
  function call to the correct hypervisor call variant

- Add some fixes and modifications to allow running FRED-enabled kernels
  in KVM even on non-FRED hardware

- Add kCFI improvements like validating indirect calls and prepare for
  enabling kCFI with GCC. Add cmdline params documentation and other

Sorry for the two part pull request, this is mostly the DMA map/unmap
optimization series that we tried to get into v6.17, but made use of
the nth_page API that generated some objections.  That has since been
removed, but was stalled again by the page_to_section() to
memdesc_section() change, where I opt'd for this two part approach
rather than resolution buried in a merge commit since we saw it coming.
Thanks,

 - Remove open coded check for cpu_feature_enabled() from
   acpi_processor_power_init_bm_check() (Mario Limonciello)

 - Remove redundant rcu_read_lock/unlock() under spinlock from
   ghes_notify_hed() in the ACPI APEI support code (pengdonglin)

 - Make the .get_next_child_node() callback in the ACPI fwnode backend

Thanks!

 pm-6.18-rc1-2


 Merge branch 'pm-cpufreq'


 Merge tag 'pm-6.18-rc1' of

to receive more power management updates for 6.18-rc1.

These are cpufreq fixes and cleanups on top of the material merged
previously, a power management core code fix and updates of the
runtime PM framework including unit tests, documentation updates and
introduction of auto-cleanup macros for runtime PM "resume and get"
and "get without resuming" operations.

Specifics:

 - Make cpufreq drivers setting the default CPU transition latency to
   CPUFREQ_ETERNAL specify a proper default transition latency value
   instead which addresses a regression introduced during the 6.6 cycle
   that broke CPUFREQ_ETERNAL handling (Rafael Wysocki)

 - Make the cpufreq CPPC driver use a proper transition delay value
   when CPUFREQ_ETERNAL is returned by cppc_get_transition_latency() to
   indicate an error condition (Rafael Wysocki)

 - Make cppc_get_transition_latency() return a negative error code to
   indicate error conditions instead of using CPUFREQ_ETERNAL for this
   purpose and drop CPUFREQ_ETERNAL that has no other users (Rafael
   Wysocki, Gopi Krishna Menon)

 - Fix device leak in the mediatek cpufreq driver (Johan Hovold)

 - Set target frequency on all CPUs sharing a policy during frequency
   updates in the tegra186 cpufreq driver and make it initialize all
   cores to max frequencies (Aaron Kling)

 - Rust cpufreq helper cleanup (Thorsten Blum)

 - Make pm_runtime_put*() family of functions return 1 when the
   given device is already suspended which is consistent with the
   documentation (Brian Norris)

 - Add basic kunit tests for runtime PM API contracts and update return
   values in kerneldoc comments for the runtime PM API (Brian Norris,
   Dan Carpenter)

 - Add auto-cleanup macros for runtime PM "resume and get" and "get
   without resume" operations, use one of them in the PCI core and
   drop the existing "free" macro introduced for similar purpose, but
   somewhat cumbersome to use (Rafael Wysocki)

 - Make the core power management code avoid waiting on device links
   marked as SYNC_STATE_ONLY which is consistent with the handling of
   those device links elsewhere (Pin-yen Lin)

Thanks!

   Tiwari, Nuno Das Neves, Wei Liu, Roman Kisel, Michael Kelley))

... to get libnvdimm changes for the 6.18 kernel.

The changes are primarily bug fixes.  Dave introduced the usage of cleanup.h a
bit late in the cycle to help with the new label work required within CXL.[1]

Unfortunately linux-next caught a bug so I delayed the pull request slightly to
include that fix of a duplicate slab.h include.  Hopefully, I've managed that
correctly.

The fix has soaked in linux-next for a few days now with the rest of the
patches being in since Sept 26th.

Thanks,
Ira

libnvdimm for 6.18

nvdimm:
        - ndtest: Return -ENOMEM if devm_kcalloc() fails in ndtest_probe()
        - Clean up __nd_ioctl() and remove gotos
                - Remove duplicate linux/slab.h header
        - Introduce guard() for nvdimm_bus_lock
        - Use str_plural() to simplify the code

ACPI:
        - NFIT: Fix incorrect ndr_desc being reportedin dev_err message

Enumeration:

  - Add PCI_FIND_NEXT_CAP() and PCI_FIND_NEXT_EXT_CAP() macros that take
    config space accessor functions; implement pci_find_capability(),
    pci_find_ext_capability(), and dwc, dwc endpoint, and cadence
    capability search interfaces with them (Hans Zhang)

  - Leave parent unit address 0 in 'interrupt-map' so that when we build
    devicetree nodes to describe PCI functions that contain multiple
    peripherals, we can build this property even when interrupt controllers
    lack 'reg' properties (Lorenzo Pieralisi)

  - Add a Xeon 6 quirk to disable Extended Tags and limit Max Read Request
    Size to 128B to avoid a performance issue (Ilpo Järvinen)

  - Add sysfs 'serial_number' file to expose the Device Serial Number
    (Matthew Wood)

  - Fix pci_acpi_preserve_config() memory leak (Nirmoy Das)

Resource management:

  - Align m68k pcibios_enable_device() with other arches (Ilpo Järvinen)

  - Remove sparc pcibios_enable_device() implementations that don't do
    anything beyond what pci_enable_resources() does (Ilpo Järvinen)

  - Remove mips pcibios_enable_resources() and use pci_enable_resources()
    instead (Ilpo Järvinen)

  - Clean up bridge window sizing and assignment (Ilpo Järvinen),
    including:

    - Leave non-claimed bridge windows disabled

    - Enable bridges even if a window wasn't assigned because not all
      windows are required by downstream devices

    - Preserve bridge window type when releasing the resource, since the
      type is needed for reassignment

    - Consolidate selection of bridge windows into two new interfaces,
      pbus_select_window() and pbus_select_window_for_type(), so this is
      done consistently

    - Compute bridge window start and end earlier to avoid logging stale
      information

MSI:

  - Add quirk to disable MSI on RDC PCI to PCIe bridges (Marcos Del Sol
    Vives)

Error handling:

  - Align AER with EEH by allowing drivers to request a Bus Reset on
    Non-Fatal Errors (in addition to the reset on Fatal Errors that we
    already do) (Lukas Wunner)

  - If error recovery fails, emit FAILED_RECOVERY uevents for the devices,
    not for the bridge leading to them; this makes them correspond to
    BEGIN_RECOVERY uevents (Lukas Wunner)

  - Align AER with EEH by calling err_handler.error_detected() callbacks to
    notify drivers if error recovery fails (Lukas Wunner)

  - Align AER with EEH by restoring device error_state to
    pci_channel_io_normal before the err_handler.slot_reset() callback;
    this is earlier than before the err_handler.resume() callback (Lukas
    Wunner)

  - Emit a BEGIN_RECOVERY uevent when driver's err_handler.error_detected()
    requests a reset, as well as when it says recovery is complete or can
    be done without a reset (Niklas Schnelle)

  - Align s390 with AER and EEH by emitting uevents during error recovery
    (Niklas Schnelle)

  - Align EEH with AER and s390 by emitting BEGIN_RECOVERY,
    SUCCESSFUL_RECOVERY, or FAILED_RECOVERY uevents depending on the result
    of err_handler.error_detected() (Niklas Schnelle)

  - Fix a NULL pointer dereference in aer_ratelimit() when ACPI GHES error
    information identifies a device without an AER Capability (Breno
    Leitao)

  - Update error decoding and TLP Log printing for new errors in current
    PCIe base spec (Lukas Wunner)

  - Update error recovery documentation to match the current code and use
    consistent nomenclature (Lukas Wunner)

ASPM:

  - Enable all ClockPM and ASPM states for devicetree platforms, since
    there's typically no firmware that enables ASPM

    This is a risky change that may uncover hardware or configuration
    defects at boot-time rather than when users enable ASPM via sysfs
    later.  Booting with "pcie_aspm=off" prevents this enabling
    (Manivannan Sadhasivam)

  - Remove the qcom code that enabled ASPM (Manivannan Sadhasivam)

Power management:

  - If a device has already been disconnected, e.g., by a hotplug removal,
    don't bother trying to resume it to D0 when detaching the driver; this
    avoids annoying "Unable to change power state from D3cold to D0"
    messages (Mario Limonciello)

  - Ensure devices are powered up before config reads for 'max_link_width',
    'current_link_speed', 'current_link_width', 'secondary_bus_number', and
    'subordinate_bus_number' sysfs files; this prevents using invalid data
    (~0) in drivers or lspci and, depending on how the PCIe controller
    reports errors, may avoid error interrupts or crashes (Brian Norris)

Virtualization:

  - Add rescan/remove locking when enabling/disabling SR-IOV, which avoids
    list corruption on s390, where disabling SR-IOV also generates hotplug
    events (Niklas Schnelle)

Peer-to-peer DMA:

  - Free struct p2p_pgmap, not a member within it, in the
    pci_p2pdma_add_resource() error path (Sungho Kim)

Endpoint framework:

  - Document sysfs interface for BAR assignment of vNTB endpoint functions
    (Jerome Brunet)

  - Fix array underflow in endpoint BAR test case (Dan Carpenter)

  - Skip endpoint IRQ test if the IRQ is out of range to avoid false errors
    (Christian Bruel)

  - Fix endpoint test case for controllers with fixed-size BARs smaller
    than requested by the test (Marek Vasut)

  - Restore inbound translation when disabling doorbell so the endpoint
    doorbell test case can be run more than once (Niklas Cassel)

  - Avoid a NULL pointer dereference when releasing DMA channels in
    endpoint DMA test case (Shin'ichiro Kawasaki)

  - Convert tegra194 interrupt number to MSI vector to fix endpoint
    Kselftest MSI_TEST test case (Niklas Cassel)

  - Reset tegra194 BARs when running in endpoint mode so the BAR tests
    don't overwrite the ATU settings in BAR4 (Niklas Cassel)

  - Handle errors in tegra194 BPMP transactions so we don't mistakenly skip
    future PERST# assertion (Vidya Sagar)

AMD MDB PCIe controller driver:

  - Update DT binding example to separate PERST# to a Root Port stanza to
    make multiple Root Ports possible in the future (Sai Krishna Musham)

  - Add driver support for PERST# being described in a Root Port stanza,
    falling back to the host bridge if not found there (Sai Krishna Musham)

Freescale i.MX6 PCIe controller driver:

  - Enable the 3.3V Vaux supply if available so devices can request wakeup
    with either Beacon or WAKE# (Richard Zhu)

MediaTek PCIe Gen3 controller driver:

  - Add optional sys clock ready time setting to avoid sys_clk_rdy signal
    glitching in MT6991 and MT8196 (AngeloGioacchino Del Regno)

  - Add DT binding and driver support for MT6991 and MT8196
    (AngeloGioacchino Del Regno)

NVIDIA Tegra PCIe controller driver:

  - When asserting PERST#, disable the controller instead of mistakenly
    disabling the PLL twice (Nagarjuna Kristam)

  - Convert struct tegra_msi mask_lock to raw spinlock to avoid a lock
    nesting error (Marek Vasut)

Qualcomm PCIe controller driver:

  - Select PCI Power Control Slot driver so slot voltage rails can be
    turned on/off if described in Root Port devicetree node (Qiang Yu)

  - Parse only PCI bridge child nodes in devicetree, skipping unrelated
    nodes such as OPP (Operating Performance Points), which caused probe
    failures (Krishna Chaitanya Chundru)

  - Add 8.0 GT/s and 32.0 GT/s equalization settings (Ziyue Zhang)

  - Consolidate Root Port 'phy' and 'reset' properties in struct
    qcom_pcie_port, regardless of whether we got them from the Root Port
    node or the host bridge node (Manivannan Sadhasivam)

  - Fetch and map the ELBI register space in the DWC core rather than in
    each driver individually (Krishna Chaitanya Chundru)

  - Enable ECAM mechanism in DWC core by setting up iATU with 'CFG Shift
    Feature' and use this in the qcom driver (Krishna Chaitanya Chundru)

  - Add SM8750 compatible to qcom,pcie-sm8550.yaml (Krishna Chaitanya
    Chundru)

  - Update qcom,pcie-x1e80100.yaml to allow fifth PCIe host on Qualcomm
    Glymur, which is compatible with X1E80100 but doesn't have the
    cnoc_sf_axi clock (Qiang Yu)

Renesas R-Car PCIe controller driver:

  - Fix a typo that prevented correct PHY initialization (Marek Vasut)

  - Add a missing 1ms delay after PWR reset assertion as required by the
    V4H manual (Marek Vasut)

  - Assure reset has completed before DBI access to avoid SError (Marek
    Vasut)

  - Fix inverted PHY initialization check, which sometimes led to timeouts
    and failure to start the controller (Marek Vasut)

  - Pass the correct IRQ domain to generic_handle_domain_irq() to fix a
    regression when converting to msi_create_parent_irq_domain() (Claudiu
    Beznea)

  - Drop the spinlock protecting the PMSR register; it's no longer required
    since pci_lock already serializes accesses (Marek Vasut)

  - Convert struct rcar_msi mask_lock to raw spinlock to avoid a lock
    nesting error (Marek Vasut)

SOPHGO PCIe controller driver:

  - Check for existence of struct cdns_pcie.ops before using it to allow
    Cadence drivers that don't need to supply ops (Chen Wang)

  - Add DT binding and driver for the SOPHGO SG2042 PCIe controller (Chen
    Wang)

STMicroelectronics STM32MP25 PCIe controller driver:

Hi,

please pull two short fixes that would be good to have before rc1.
Thanks.

- fix printk format warning on 32bit platforms

- fix potential out-of-bounds access in callback encoding NFS handles

LoongArch changes for v6.18

1, Init acpi_gbl_use_global_lock to false;
2, Allow specify SIMD width via kernel parameters;
3, Add kexec_file (both EFI & ELF format) support;
4, Add PER_VMA_LOCK for page fault handling support;
5, Improve BPF trampoline support;
6, Update the default config file;
7, Some bug fixes and other small changes.

Note: There is a conflict in arch/loongarch/Kconfig but can be simply
fixed by adjusting context.

Generic:

* Rework almost all of KVM's exports to expose symbols only to KVM's x86
  vendor modules (kvm-{amd,intel}.ko and PPC's kvm-{pr,hv}.ko.

x86:

* Rework almost all of KVM x86's exports to expose symbols only to KVM's
  vendor modules, i.e. to kvm-{amd,intel}.ko.

* Add support for virtualizing Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) on
  Intel (Shadow Stacks and Indirect Branch Tracking) and AMD (Shadow Stacks).
  It's worth noting that while SHSTK and IBT can be enabled separately in CPUID,
  it is not really possible to virtualize them separately.  Therefore, Intel
  processors will really allow both SHSTK and IBT under the hood if either is
  made visible in the guest's CPUID.  The alternative would be to intercept
  XSAVES/XRSTORS, which is not feasible for performance reasons.

* Fix a variety of fuzzing WARNs all caused by checking L1 intercepts when
  completing userspace I/O.  KVM has already committed to allowing L2 to
  to perform I/O at that point.

* Emulate PERF_CNTR_GLOBAL_STATUS_SET for PerfMonV2 guests, as the MSR is
  supposed to exist for v2 PMUs.

* Allow Centaur CPU leaves (base 0xC000_0000) for Zhaoxin CPUs.

* Add support for the immediate forms of RDMSR and WRMSRNS, sans full
  emulator support (KVM should never need to emulate the MSRs outside of
  forced emulation and other contrived testing scenarios).

* Clean up the MSR APIs in preparation for CET and FRED virtualization, as
  well as mediated vPMU support.

* Clean up a pile of PMU code in anticipation of adding support for mediated
  vPMUs.

* Reject in-kernel IOAPIC/PIT for TDX VMs, as KVM can't obtain EOI vmexits
  needed to faithfully emulate an I/O APIC for such guests.

* Many cleanups and minor fixes.

* Recover possible NX huge pages within the TDP MMU under read lock to
  reduce guest jitter when restoring NX huge pages.

* Return -EAGAIN during prefault if userspace concurrently deletes/moves the
  relevant memslot, to fix an issue where prefaulting could deadlock with the
  memslot update.

x86 (AMD):

* Enable AVIC by default for Zen4+ if x2AVIC (and other prereqs) is supported.

* Require a minimum GHCB version of 2 when starting SEV-SNP guests via
  KVM_SEV_INIT2 so that invalid GHCB versions result in immediate errors
  instead of latent guest failures.

* Add support for SEV-SNP's CipherText Hiding, an opt-in feature that prevents
  unauthorized CPU accesses from reading the ciphertext of SNP guest private
  memory, e.g. to attempt an offline attack.  This feature splits the shared
  SEV-ES/SEV-SNP ASID space into separate ranges for SEV-ES and SEV-SNP guests,
  therefore a new module parameter is needed to control the number of ASIDs
  that can be used for VMs with CipherText Hiding vs. how many can be used to
  run SEV-ES guests.

* Add support for Secure TSC for SEV-SNP guests, which prevents the untrusted
  host from tampering with the guest's TSC frequency, while still allowing the
  the VMM to configure the guest's TSC frequency prior to launch.

* Validate the XCR0 provided by the guest (via the GHCB) to avoid bugs
  resulting from bogus XCR0 values.

* Save an SEV guest's policy if and only if LAUNCH_START fully succeeds to
  avoid leaving behind stale state (thankfully not consumed in KVM).

* Explicitly reject non-positive effective lengths during SNP's LAUNCH_UPDATE
  instead of subtly relying on guest_memfd to deal with them.

* Reload the pre-VMRUN TSC_AUX on #VMEXIT for SEV-ES guests, not the host's
  desired TSC_AUX, to fix a bug where KVM was keeping a different vCPU's
  TSC_AUX in the host MSR until return to userspace.

KVM (Intel):

* Preparation for FRED support.

* Don't retry in TDX's anti-zero-step mitigation if the target memslot is
  invalid, i.e. is being deleted or moved, to fix a deadlock scenario similar
  to the aforementioned prefaulting case.

* Misc bugfixes and minor cleanups.

NFSD 6.18 Release Notes

Mike Snitzer has prototyped a mechanism for disabling I/O caching in
NFSD. This is introduced in v6.18 as an experimental feature. This
enables scaling NFSD in /both/ directions:

- NFS service can be supported on systems with small memory
  footprints, such as low-cost cloud instances
- Large NFS workloads will be less likely to force the eviction of
  server-local activity, helping it avoid thrashing

Jeff Layton contributed a number of fixes to the new attribute
delegation implementation (based on a pending Internet RFC) that we
hope will make attribute delegation reliable enough to enable by
default, as it is on the Linux NFS client.

The remaining patches in this pull request are clean-ups and minor
optimizations. Many thanks to the contributors, reviewers, testers,
and bug reporters who participated during the v6.18 NFSD development
cycle.

Thanks.


Only two patch series in this pull request:

- The 3 patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: fixup crash during uevent
  handling" from Hannes Reinecke which fixes a race which was causing udev
  to trigger a crash in the memory hotplug code.

- The 2 patch series "mm_slot: following fixup for usage of
  mm_slot_entry()" from Wei Yang adds some touchups to the just-merged
  mm_slot changes.

- switch longson32 platform to DT and use MIPS_GENERIC framework
- cleanups/fixes for lantiq DTs
- other cleanups and fixes

OpenRISC updates for 6.18

I picked up one series from Chen Miao, our Google Summer
of Code contributor:

 - Added OpenRISC support for static keys

Char/Misc/IIO/Binder changes for 6.18-rc1

Here is the big set of char/misc/iio and other driver subsystem changes
for 6.18-rc1.  Loads of different stuff in here, it was a busy
development cycle in lots of different subsystems, with over 27k new
lines added to the tree.  Included in here are:
  - IIO updates including new drivers, reworking of existing apis, and
    other goodness in the sensor subsystems
  - MEI driver updates and additions
  - NVMEM driver updates
  - slimbus removal for an unused driver and some other minor
    updates
  - coresight driver updates and additions
  - MHI driver updates
  - comedi driver updates and fixes
  - extcon driver updates
  - interconnect driver additions
  - eeprom driver updates and fixes
  - minor UIO driver updates
  - tiny W1 driver updates

But the majority of new code is in the rust bindings and additions,
which includes:
  - misc driver rust binding updates for read/write support, we can now
    write "normal" misc drivers in rust fully, and the sample driver
    shows how this can be done.
  - Initial framework for USB driver rust bindings, which are disabled
    for now in the build, due to limited support, but coming in through
    this tree due to dependencies on other rust binding changes that
    were in here.  I'll be enabling these back on in the build in the
    usb.git tree after -rc1 is out so that developers can continue to
    work on these in linux-next over the next development cycle.
  - Android Binder driver implemented in Rust.  This is the big one, and
    was driving a huge majority of the rust binding work over the past
    years.  Right now there are 2 binder drivers in the kernel, selected
    only at build time as to which one to use as binder wants to be
    included in the system at boot time.  The binder C maintainers all
    agreed on this, as eventually, they want the C code to be removed from
    the tree, but it will take a few releases to get there while both
    are maintained to ensure that the rust implementation is fully
    stable and compliant with the existing userspace apis.

All of these have been in linux-next for a while, with only minor merge
issues showing up (you will hit them as well.)  Just accept both sides
of the merge, it's just some header and include file lines, nothing
major.

TTY/Serial update for 6.18-rc1

Here are some small updates for tty/serial drivers for 6.18-rc1.

Not many changes overall, just the usual:
  - abi cleanups and reworking of the tty functions by Jiri by adding
    console lock guard logic
  - 8250_platform driver updates
  - qcom-geni driver updates
  - other minor serial driver updates
  - some more vt escape codes added

All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues.

Staging driver changes for 6.18-rc1

Here is the "big" set of staging driver changes for 6.18-rc1.  Nothing
really exciting in here they pretty much consist of:
  - minor coding style changes and cleanups
  - some api layer removals where not needed

Overall a quiet development cycle.

All have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues.

USB/Thunderbolt changes for 6.18-rc1

Here is the big set of USB and thunderbolt drivers for 6.18-rc1.  It was
another normal development cycle, with lots of the usual drivers getting
updates:
  - Thunderbolt driver cleanups and additions
  - dwc3 driver updates
  - dwc2 driver updates
  - typec driver updates
  - xhci driver updates and additions
  - offload USB engine updates for better power management
  - unused tracepoint removals
  - usb gadget fixes and updates as more users start to rely on these
    drivers instead of the "old" function gadget drivers
  - new USB device ids
  - other minor driver USB driver updates
  - new USB I/O driver framework and driver additions

The last item, the usb i/o driver, has an i2c and gpio driver added
through this tree.  Those drivers were acked by the respective subsystem
maintainers, but you will get a merge conflict with the i2c tree where
new drivers were added in the same places in a Kconfig and Makefile.
The merge conflict is simple, just take both sides.

All of these have been in linux-next for a while, with the only issue
being the i2c tree merge conflicts.

from Jonas and Sven on rtl9300.

This branch is rebased on top of Linus’ i2c merge commit[*].

Thanks again for covering for me. There is plenty of work ahead,
and I am looking forward to catching up with it.

I wish you a great weekend,

i2c-host for v6.18, part 2

rtl9300 updates:
 - general cleanups
 - implemented block read/write support
 - added RTL9310 support

Could you please consider this pull request?

Thanks,

f2fs-for-6.18-rc1

This release focuses on two primary updates for Android devices. First, it sets
hash-based file name lookup as the default method to improve performance, while
retaining an option to fall back to a linear lookup. Second, it resolves a
persistent issue with the checkpoint=enable feature. The update further boosts
performance by prefetching node blocks, merging FUA writes more efficiently, and
optimizing block allocation policies.

The release is rounded out by a comprehensive set of bug fixes that address
memory safety, data integrity, and potential system hangs, along with minor
documentation and code clean-ups.

Enhancement:
 - add mount option and sysfs entry to tune the lookup mode
 - dump more information and add a timeout when enabling/disabling checkpoints
 - readahead node blocks in F2FS_GET_BLOCK_PRECACHE mode
 - merge FUA command with the existing writes
 - allocate HOT_DATA for IPU writes
 - Use allocate_section_policy to control write priority in multi-devices setups
 - add reserved nodes for privileged users
 - Add bggc_io_aware to adjust the priority of BG_GC when issuing IO
 - show the list of donation files

Bug fix:
 - add missing dput() when printing the donation list
 - fix UAF issue in f2fs_merge_page_bio()
 - add sanity check on ei.len in __update_extent_tree_range()
 - fix infinite loop in __insert_extent_tree()
 - fix zero-sized extent for precache extents
 - fix to mitigate overhead of f2fs_zero_post_eof_page()
 - fix to avoid migrating empty section
 - fix to truncate first page in error path of f2fs_truncate()
 - fix to update map->m_next_extent correctly in f2fs_map_blocks()
 - fix wrong layout information on 16KB page
 - fix to do sanity check on node footer for non inode dnode
 - fix to avoid NULL pointer dereference in f2fs_check_quota_consistency()
 - fix to detect potential corrupted nid in free_nid_list
 - fix to clear unusable_cap for checkpoint=enable
 - fix to zero data after EOF for compressed file correctly
 - fix to avoid overflow while left shift operation
 - fix condition in __allow_reserved_blocks()

No new features. Just clean ups and one fix.

tracing updates for v6.18:

- Use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() instead of RCU for syscall tracepoints

  Individual system call trace events are pseudo events attached to the
  raw_syscall trace events that just trace the entry and exit of all system
  calls. When any of these individual system call trace events get enabled,
  an element in an array indexed by the system call number is assigned to
  the trace file that defines how to trace it. When the trace event
  triggers, it reads this array and if the array has an element, it uses th=
at
  trace file to know what to write it (the trace file defines the output
  format of the corresponding system call).

  The issue is that it uses rcu_dereference_ptr() and marks the elements of
  the array as using RCU. This is incorrect. There is no RCU synchronization
  here. The event file that is pointed to has a completely different way to
  make sure it's freed properly. The reading of the array during the system
  call trace event is only to know if there is a value or not. If not, it
  does nothing (it means this system call isn't being traced). If it does,
  it uses the information to store the system call data.

  The RCU usage here can simply be replaced by READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE()
  macros.

- Have the system call trace events use "0x" for hex values

  Some system call trace events display hex values but do not have "0x" in
  front of it. Seeing "count: 44" can be assumed that it is 44 decimal when
  in actuality it is 44 hex (68 decimal). Display "0x44" instead.

- Use vmalloc_array() in tracing_map_sort_entries()

  The function tracing_map_sort_entries() used array_size() and vmalloc()
  when it could have simply used vmalloc_array().

- Use for_each_online_cpu() in trace_osnoise.c()

  Instead of open coding for_each_cpu(cpu, cpu_online_mask), use
  for_each_online_cpu().

- Move the buffer field in struct trace_seq to the end

  The buffer field in struct trace_seq is architecture dependent in size,
  and caused padding for the fields after it. By moving the buffer to the
  end of the structure, it compacts the trace_seq structure better.

- Remove redundant zeroing of cmdline_idx field in saved_cmdlines_buffer()

  The structure that contains cmdline_idx is zeroed by memset(), no need to
  explicitly zero any of its fields after that.

- Use system_percpu_wq instead of system_wq in user_event_mm_remove()

  As system_wq is being deprecated, use the new wq.

- Add cond_resched() is ftrace_module_enable()

  Some modules have a lot of functions (thousands of them), and the enabling
  of those functions can take some time. On non preemtable kernels, it was
  triggering a watchdog timeout. Add a cond_resched() to prevent that.

- Add a BUILD_BUG_ON() to make sure PID_MAX_DEFAULT is always a power of 2

  There's code that depends on PID_MAX_DEFAULT being a power of 2 or it will
  break. If in the future that changes, make sure the build fails to ensure
  that the code is fixed that depends on this.

- Grab mutex_lock() before ever exiting s_start()

  The s_start() function is a seq_file start routine. As s_stop() is always
  called even if s_start() fails, and s_stop() expects the event_mutex to be
  held as it will always release it. That mutex must always be taken in
  s_start() even if that function fails.




trace-v6.18

rtla: Updates for v6.18

- This update is mostly just consolidating code between osnoise/timerlat
  and top/hist for easier maintenance and less future divergence.




trace-tools-v6.18

This includes the following changes related to sparc for v6.18:

- Add relocation handling for R_SPARC_UA64 for sparc64 that is generated
  by llvm and clarify printout on missing relocation handler

- Fix missing hugetlb tte initialization for sun4u

- Code cleanup for redundant use of __GPF_NOWARN for sparc64

- Fix prototypes of reads[bwl]() for sparc64 by adding missing const and
  volatile pointer qualifiers

- Fix bugs in accurate exception reporting in multiple machine specific
  sparc64 variants of copy_{from,to}_user() for sparc64

- Fix memory leak in error handling for sparc32

- Drop -ansi from asflags and replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ in
  headers for all arch/sparc

- Replace strcpy() with strscpy() for all arch/sparc

guest_memfd:

* Add support for host userspace mapping of guest_memfd-backed memory for VM
  types that do NOT use support KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_PRIVATE (which isn't
  precisely the same thing as CoCo VMs, since x86's SEV-MEM and SEV-ES have
  no way to detect private vs. shared).

  This lays the groundwork for removal of guest memory from the kernel direct
  map, as well as for limited mmap() for guest_memfd-backed memory.

  For more information see:
  * a6ad54137af9 ("Merge branch 'guest-memfd-mmap' into HEAD", 2025-08-27)
  * https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker/tree/feature/secret-hiding
    (guest_memfd in Firecracker)

    (direct map removal)
  * https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250328153133.3504118-1-tabba@google.com/
    (mmap support)

ARM:

* Add support for FF-A 1.2 as the secure memory conduit for pKVM,
  allowing more registers to be used as part of the message payload.

* Change the way pKVM allocates its VM handles, making sure that the
  privileged hypervisor is never tricked into using uninitialised
  data.

* Speed up MMIO range registration by avoiding unnecessary RCU
  synchronisation, which results in VMs starting much quicker.

* Add the dump of the instruction stream when panic-ing in the EL2
  payload, just like the rest of the kernel has always done. This will
  hopefully help debugging non-VHE setups.

* Add 52bit PA support to the stage-1 page-table walker, and make use
  of it to populate the fault level reported to the guest on failing
  to translate a stage-1 walk.

* Add NV support to the GICv3-on-GICv5 emulation code, ensuring
  feature parity for guests, irrespective of the host platform.

* Fix some really ugly architecture problems when dealing with debug
  in a nested VM. This has some bad performance impacts, but is at
  least correct.

* Add enough infrastructure to be able to disable EL2 features and
  give effective values to the EL2 control registers. This then allows
  a bunch of features to be turned off, which helps cross-host
  migration.

* Large rework of the selftest infrastructure to allow most tests to
  transparently run at EL2. This is the first step towards enabling
  NV testing.

* Various fixes and improvements all over the map, including one BE
  fix, just in time for the removal of the feature.

LoongArch:

* Detect page table walk feature on new hardware

* Add sign extension with kernel MMIO/IOCSR emulation

* Improve in-kernel IPI emulation

* Improve in-kernel PCH-PIC emulation

* Move kvm_iocsr tracepoint out of generic code

RISC-V:

* Added SBI FWFT extension for Guest/VM with misaligned delegation and
  pointer masking PMLEN features

* Added ONE_REG interface for SBI FWFT extension

* Added Zicbop and bfloat16 extensions for Guest/VM

* Enabled more common KVM selftests for RISC-V

* Added SBI v3.0 PMU enhancements in KVM and perf driver

s390:

* Improve interrupt cpu for wakeup, in particular the heuristic to decide
  which vCPU to deliver a floating interrupt to.

* Clear the PTE when discarding a swapped page because of CMMA; this
  bug was introduced in 6.16 when refactoring gmap code.

x86 selftests:

* Add #DE coverage in the fastops test (the only exception that's guest-
  triggerable in fastop-emulated instructions).

* Fix PMU selftests errors encountered on Granite Rapids (GNR), Sierra
  Forest (SRF) and Clearwater Forest (CWF).

* Minor cleanups and improvements

x86 (guest side):

* For the legacy PCI hole (memory between TOLUD and 4GiB) to UC when
  overriding guest MTRR for TDX/SNP to fix an issue where ACPI auto-mapping
  could map devices as WB and prevent the device drivers from mapping their
  devices with UC/UC-.

* Make kvm_async_pf_task_wake() a local static helper and remove its
  export.

* Use native qspinlocks when running in a VM with dedicated vCPU=>pCPU
  bindings even when PV_UNHALT is unsupported.

Generic:

* Remove a redundant __GFP_NOWARN from kvm_setup_async_pf() as __GFP_NOWARN is
  now included in GFP_NOWAIT.

Thanks!

Description for this pull request:
 - Add support for FS_IOC_{GET,SET}FSLABEL ioctl.
 - Two small clean-up patches.
 - Optimizes allocation bitmap loading time on large partitions
   with small cluster sizes.
 - Allow changes for discard, zero_size_dir, and errors options
   via remount.
 - Validate that the clusters used for the allocation bitmap are
   correctly marked as in-use during mount, preventing potential
   data corruption from reallocating the bitmap's own space.
 - Uses ratelimit to avoid too many error prints on I/O error path.

RISC-V updates for the v6.18 merge window (part two)

Second set of RISC-V updates for the v6.18 merge window, consisting
of:

- Support for the RISC-V-standardized RPMI interface.

  RPMI is a platform management communication mechanism between OSes
  running on application processors, and a remote platform management
  processor.  Similar to ARM SCMI, TI SCI, etc.  This includes irqchip,
  mailbox, and clk changes.

- Support for the RISC-V-standardized MPXY SBI extension.

  MPXY is a RISC-V-specific standard implementing a shared memory
  mailbox between S-mode operating systems (e.g., Linux) and M-mode
  firmware (e.g., OpenSBI).  It is part of this PR since one of its
  use cases is to enable M-mode firmware to act as a single RPMI client
  for all RPMI activity on a core (including S-mode RPMI activity).
  Includes a mailbox driver.

- Some ACPI-related updates to enable the use of RPMI and MPXY.

- The addition of Linux-wide memcpy_{from,to}_le32() static inline
  functions, for RPMI use.

- An ACPI Kconfig change to enable boot logos on any ACPI-using
  architecture (including RISC-V)

- A RISC-V defconfig change to add GPIO keyboard and event device
  support, for front panel shutdown or reboot buttons

This PR also includes a recent, one-line Kconfig patch from Geert to
keep non-RISC-V users from being asked about building the RPMI virtual
clock driver when !COMPILE_TEST.  THere's nothing preventing
non-RISC-V SoCs from implementing RPMI, but until some users show up,
let's not annoy others with it.

Probes for v6.18:

- fprobe: Performance enhancement of the fprobe using rhltable
  . fprobe: use rhltable for fprobe_ip_table. The fprobe IP table has
    been converted to use an rhltable for improved performance when
    dealing with a large number of probed functions.
  . Fix a suspicious RCU usage warning of the above change in the
    fprobe entry handler.
  . Remove an unused local variable of the above change.
  . Fix to initialize fprobe_ip_table in core_initcall().

- wprobe: Introduce a watchpoint probe event based on hw_breakpoint.
  . Add a new watchpoint probe that uses hardware breakpoints to
    monitor memory accesses. This allows for tracing memory reads
    and writes at specified addresses.
  . Add a basic add/remove test case for wprobe.
  . Add a syntax test case for wprobe.

- probes: Cleanup probe event subsystems.
  . uprobe/eprobe: Allocate traceprobe_parse_context per probe instead
    of each probe argument parsing. This reduce memory allocation/free
    of temporary working memory.
  . uprobes: Cleanup code using __free().
  . eprobes: Cleanup code using __free().
  . probes: Cleanup code using __free(trace_probe_log_clear) to clear
    error log automatically.
  . probes: Replace strcpy() with memcpy() in __trace_probe_log_err().

Patch series in this pull request:

- The 3 patch series "ida: Remove the ida_simple_xxx() API" from
  Christophe Jaillet completes the removal of this legacy IDR API.

- The 9 patch series "panic: introduce panic status function family"
  from Jinchao Wang provides a number of cleanups to the panic code and
  its various helpers, which were rather ad-hoc and scattered all over the
  place.

- The 5 patch series "tools/delaytop: implement real-time keyboard
  interaction support" from Fan Yu adds a few nice user-facing usability
  changes to the delaytop monitoring tool.

- The 3 patch series "efi: Fix EFI boot with kexec handover (KHO)" from
  Evangelos Petrongonas fixes a panic which was happening with the
  combination of EFI and KHO.

- The 2 patch series "Squashfs: performance improvement and a sanity
  check" from Phillip Lougher teaches squashfs's lseek() about
  SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE.  A mere 150x speedup was measured for a well-chosen
  microbenchmark.

- Plus another 50-odd singleton patches all over the place.

RCU pull request for v6.18

This pull request contains the following branches, non-octopus merged:

Documentation updates:

  - Update whatisRCU.rst and checklist.rst for recent RCU API additions.

  - Fix RCU documentation formatting and typos.

  - Replace dead Ottawa Linux Symposium links in RTFP.txt.

Miscellaneous RCU updates:

  - Document that rcu_barrier() hurries RCU_LAZY callbacks.

  - Remove redundant interrupt disabling from
    rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handler().

  - Move list_for_each_rcu from list.h to rculist.h, and adjust the
    include directive in kernel/cgroup/dmem.c accordingly.

  - Make initial set of changes to accommodate upcoming system_percpu_wq
    changes.

SRCU updates:

  - Create an srcu_read_lock_fast_notrace() for eventual use in tracing,
    including adding guards.

  - Document the reliance on per-CPU operations as implicit RCU readers
    in __srcu_read_{,un}lock_fast().

  - Document the srcu_flip() function's memory-barrier D's relationship
    to SRCU-fast readers.

  - Remove a redundant preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() pair from
    srcu_gp_start_if_needed().

Torture-test updates:

  - Fix jitter.sh spin time so that it actually varies as advertised.
    It is still quite coarse-grained, but at least it does now vary.

  - Update torture.sh help text to include the not-so-new --do-normal
    parameter, which permits (for example) testing KCSAN kernels without
    doing non-debug kernels.

  - Fix a number of false-positive diagnostics that were being triggered
    by rcutorture starting before boot completed.  Running multiple
    near-CPU-bound rcutorture processes when there is only the boot CPU
    is after all a bit excessive.

  - Substitute kcalloc() for kzalloc().

  - Remove a redundant kfree() and NULL out kfree()ed objects.

rpmsg updates for v6.18

Clean up the dev_pm_domain integration in rpmsg core. Correct module
aliases for the rpmsg char driver.

Transition Qualcomm SMD and GLINK drivers to strscpy() and fix the
regression in legacy code for acquiring outgoing interrupts using the
non-mailbox based mechanism.

remoteproc updates for v6.18

Enable coredump support for the i.MX HiFi core remoteproc, and clean up
the i.MX remoteproc driver.

Introduce remoteprocs on the Qualcomm Milos platform. Gracefully shut own
the ADSP remoteproc when bootloader has loaded the "Lite" firmware on X
Elite. Improve the resource handover procedure to avoid possibly duplicate
handling.

Transition the TI DA8xx, TI Keystone, and TI Wakeup M3 remoteproc
drivers to handle resources using devres.

please pull the latest printk changes from



- Add KUnit test for the printk ring buffer.

- Fix the check of the maximal record size which is allowed to be stored
  into the printk ring buffer. It prevents corruptions of the ring buffer.

  Note that printk() is on the safe side. The messages are limited by 1kB
  buffer and are always small enough for the minimal log buffer size 4kB,
  see CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT definition.

IOMMU Updates for Linux v6.18:

Including:

- Inte VT-d:
 - IOMMU driver updated to the latest VT-d specification.
 - Don't enable PRS if PDS isn't supported.
 - Replace snprintf with scnprintf.
 - Fix legacy mode page table dump through debugfs.
 - Miscellaneous cleanups.

- AMD-Vi:
  - Support kdump boot when SNP is enabled.

- Apple-DART:
  - 4-level page-table support.

- RISC-V IOMMU:
  - ACPI support.

- Small number of miscellaneous cleanups and fixes.

  from Kefeng Wang does some tidying in the hugetlb folio allocation code.

- The 12 patch series "mm: establish const-correctness for pointer
  parameters" from Max Kellermann makes quite a number of the MM API

  improvements.  This patchset itself yields a 5-20% performance benefit
  in some situations.

- The 3 patch series "Some ptdesc cleanups" from Matthew Wilcox utilizes
  the new memdesc layer to clean up the ptdesc code a little.

- The 3 patch series "Fix va_high_addr_switch.sh test failure" from

  non-idle ages" from SeongJae Park provides additional transparency to
  userspace clients of the DAMON_STAT information.

- The 2 patch series "Expand scope of khugepaged anonymous collapse"
  from Dev Jain removes some constraints on khubepaged's collapsing of
  anon VMAs.  It also increases the success rate of MADV_COLLAPSE against
  an anon vma.

- The 2 patch series "mm: do not assume file == vma->vm_file in
  compat_vma_mmap_prepare()" from Lorenzo Stoakes moves us further towards
  removal of file_operations.mmap().  This patchset concentrates upon
  clearing up the treatment of stacked filesystems.

- The 6 patch series "mm: Improve mlock tracking for large folios" from

  Yang addresses some potential but presently benign issues in KSM's
  mm_slot handling.

asm-generic: updates for 6.18

Two small patches for the asm-generic header files: Varad Gautam improves
the MMIO tracing to be faster when the tracepoints are built into the
kernel but disabled, while Qi Xi updates the DO_ONCE logic so that
clearing the WARN_ONCE() flags does not change the other DO_ONCE users.

These are the SoC updates for the 6.18 release on Arm and RISC-V
platforms. With about 1150 non-merge changesets and 70000 lines
added,  this is one of the larger sets recently, and a lot of
that comes from updates for the Qualcomm, NXP/Freescale and Apple
platforms, which have both a significant number of new machines
and other updates.

There is one new RISC-V chip family in a separate branch, plus
new SoCs in five existing families.

Here is the i3c subsystem pull request for 6.18. Another controller
driver has been added this cycle. We also have many improvements for the
mipi-i3c-hci driver.

I3C for 6.18

New driver:
 - Analog Devices I3C Controller

Subsystem:
 - fix big-endian FIFO transfers
 - fix default I2C adapter timeout value

Drivers:
 - dw: shutdown support
 - mipi-i3c-hci: Intel Wildcat Lake-U support, IOMMU support
 - renesas: RZ/V2H(P) and RZ/V2N support

Please a pair of x86/entry changes for 6.18-rc1. The FRED one adjusts
the kernel to the latest spec. The spec change prevents attackers from
abusing kernel entry points.

The second one came about because of the LASS work[1]. It moves the
vsyscall emulation code away from depending on X86_PF_INSTR which is
not available on some CPUs. Those CPUs are pretty obscure these days,
but this still seems like the right thing to do. It also makes this
code consistent with some things that the LASS code is going to do.

1. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250620135325.3300848-1-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com/

--

 - Use RIP instead of X86_PF_INSTR for vsyscall emulation
 - Remove ENDBR64 from FRED entry points

is making TDX and kexec play nicely together. Before this, the memory
encryption hardware (which doesn't respect cache coherency) could
write back old cachelines on top of data in the new kernel, so kexec
and TDX were made mutually exclusive. This removes the limitation.

There is also some work to tighten up a hardware bug workaround and
some MAINTAINERS updates.

--

 - Make TDX and kexec work together
 - Skip TDX bug workaround when the bug is not present
 - Update maintainers entries

Riel's work to get the INVLPGB instruction working. It just removes an
open-coded TLB flush operation by using an existing helper.

--

Change cpa_flush() to call flush_kernel_range() directly

[GIT PULL for v6.18] media updates

Backlight for v6.18

This set is comprised of a couple of small but important fixes and a number of clean-up and
refactoring patches.  The fixes correct an EPROM address for the LP8556 and improve memory
allocation safety in the LED backlight driver.

The remainder of the set is made up of refactoring work to the mp3309c driver and a series of
patches to make a number of drivers more self-contained by including their own dependencies.

Improvements & Fixes
- Correct the EPROM start address for the LP8556 to align with the device's datasheet.
- Use devm_kcalloc() in the LED backlight driver for safer array allocation with overflow
  protection.

Cleanups & Refactoring
- Drop an unnecessary call to pwm_apply_args() in the mp3309c driver.
- Modernize struct initialization in the mp3309c driver by using a compound literal instead of
  memset.
- Make numerous drivers self-contained by including necessary headers directly rather than
  relying on transitive includes from the core backlight header.

LEDs for v6.18

This submission is a mix of new features, a number of fixes, some clean-up/refactoring and a
few Device Tree binding updates.  The most significant changes include new device support for
the IS31FL3236A and QNAP's status LEDs, a number of fixes for the Qualcomm flash, LP55xx,
MAX77705 and QNAP MCU drivers, along with some generic LED consumer binding documentation and
unification.

New Support & Features
- Add support for the IS31FL3236A LED driver, including an optional 22kHz PWM frequency setting.
- Add support for the red and green status LEDs on QNAP MCU devices.

Improvements & Fixes
- Fix an issue in the MAX77705 driver where an error value was assigned but not returned.
- Correctly update the torch current clamp setting in the Qualcomm flash LED driver to prevent
  unexpected clamping.
- Add a separate register map for the PMI8998 to the Qualcomm flash LED driver to handle its
  unique register layout.
- Fix the state numbering for the USB LED in the QNAP MCU driver to avoid command conflicts.
- Correct the memory programming address calculation for non-paged devices like the LP5562 in
  the LP55xx driver.
- Add Device Tree support to the generic led_get() function, allowing LEDs to be looked up by
  name.

Cleanups & Refactoring
- Fix a spelling mistake in the Kconfig help text for the BD2606MVV driver.
- Use devm_mutex_init() in the IS31FL319x driver to simplify code.

Device Tree Bindings Updates
- Drop the redundant '-db' suffix from the IS31FL319x binding.
- Introduce generic LED consumer bindings for referencing LEDs via phandles.
- Unify the 'leds' property across several bindings to use the new generic consumer binding.
- Convert the AMS AS3645A LED controller binding to the DT schema format.

MFD for v6.18

This round of updates contains a fair amount of new device support, a couple of fixes and
some refactoring.  The most notable additions include new drivers for Loongson's Security
Engine, RNG and TPM, new drivers for TI's TPS6594 Power Button and BQ257xx Charger ICs.

The rest of the set provides a return value check fix and a refactoring to use a more modern
GPIO API for the VEXPRESS sysreg driver, the removal of a deprecated IRQ ACK function from the
MC13xxx RTC driver and a new DT binding for the aforementioned TI BQ257xx charger.

New Support & Features
- Add a suite of drivers for the Loongson Security Engine, including the core controller, a
  Random Number Generator (RNG) and Trusted Platform Module (TPM) support.
- Introduce support for the TI TPS6594 PMIC's power button, including the input driver, MFD
  cell registration, and a system power-off handler.
- Add comprehensive support for the TI BQ257xx series of charger ICs, including the core MFD
  driver and a power supply driver for the charger functionality.

Improvements & Fixes
- Check the return value of devm_gpiochip_add_data() in the VEXPRESS sysreg driver to prevent
  potential silent failures.

Cleanups & Refactoring
- Add a MAINTAINERS entry for the new Loongson Security Engine drivers.
- Convert the VEXPRESS sysreg driver to use the modern generic GPIO chip API.

Removals
- Remove the deprecated and unused mc13xxx_irq_ack() function from the MC13xxx RTC, input and
  touchscreen drivers.

Device Tree Bindings Updates
- Add device tree bindings for the TI BQ25703A charger.

Finally a duplicate commit (different hash, same contents) with the vhost
tree:
  4e9510f162188 ("ptr_ring: drop duplicated tail zeroing code")
  4a37c69fc60bf ("ptr_ring: drop duplicated tail zeroing code")
both touching include/linux/ptr_ring.h the same way.

There is a very recent build failure for arm64 with oldish compiler currently
under investigation, I hope it should not block this PR.

Networking changes for 6.18.

Core & protocols

Here are the changes for configfs for v6.18. This time it is just a very
small refactoring to use PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO().


Best regards,
Andreas Hindborg

configfs changes for v6.18

This is the main drm pull request for the 6.18 merge window.

Compared to last time there are only 2 xe merge conflicts when I
merged this into your tree this morning. One of them is simple, the
other a bit tricky, as all the goto cleanup should be return ret, not
sure where they get lost. Let me know if you have any problems, but
taking what is in next should be fine.

Outside the drm tree, there are i2c-hid changes and an MEI driver addition.

The other big thing here is rust stuff. There is a pin-init rework
which may also be merged in other trees (I can't remember). Then dma,
device and drm stuff. This also has updates to the nova-core, nova-drm
drivers and introduces a skeleton driver Tyr for ARM Mali, which will
be constructed upstream as the rust pieces are merged.

Other highlights:
- rocket accel driver for Rockchip NPUs
- habanalabs upstreaming has restarted
- xe support for madvise in gpusvm
- amdgpu CRIU support for gem objects

Then there is the usual insane number of patches to everything across the b=
oard.

As usual, let me know if there are any problems.

Dave.

Subject: [GIT PULL] power-supply changes for 6.18
MIME-Version: 1.0

Hi Linus,

power supply and reset changes for the 6.18 series

 * power-supply core
  - introduce adc-battery-helper for capacity estimation based on
    simple ADC readings of battery voltage and current
  - add new property for battery internal resistance
  - add new property for battery state of health
 * power-supply drivers
  - ug3105_battery: convert to adc-battery-helper
  - intel_dc_ti_battery: New driver for Intel Dollar Cove TI batteries
  - rt9467-charger: add voltage and current ADC support
  - sbs-charger: support multiple instances
  - qcom_battmgr: add charge control support
  - qcom_battmgr: add support for state of health and internal resistance
  - max77705_charger: big driver cleanup
  - max77705_charger: add support for setting charge current
  - misc. minor fixes and cleanups

this is the big pull request with v6.18 pin control changes.

Most of the details are in the signed tag, we have GPIO
awareness in the pin control core and an interesting AAEON
driver.

At rc6 you expressed strongly that you don't want to see
unsolicited Link: tags unless these provide some additional
information that is actually useful for regressions and
debugging, so at this point I dropped the automated addition
of Link: tags. They are still present on prior commits, I
hope that is OK for now. They will not be in future pull
requests.

Some GPIO and Renesas cross-tree changes are coming
into the diffstat through immutable branches that I pulled
in, including some string helper lib functions and what not.


Yours,
Linus Walleij

Pin control changes for the v6.18 kernel cycle:

Core changes:

- Allow pins to be identified/marked as GPIO mode with
  a special callback. The pin controller core is now
  "aware" if a pin is in GPIO mode if the callback is
  implemented in the driver, and can thus be marked
  as "strict", i.e. disallowing simultaneous use of a
  line as GPIO and another function such as I2C. This
  is enabled in the Qualcomm TLMM driver and also
  implemeted from day 1 in the new Broadcom STB driver.

- Rename the pin config option PIN_CONFIG_OUTPUT to
  PIN_CONFIG_LEVEL to better describe what the config is
  doing, as well as making it more intuitive what shall
  be returned when reading this property.

New drivers:

- Qualcomm SDM660 LPASS LPI TLMM pin controller subdriver.

- Qualcomm Glymur family pin controller driver.

- Broadcom STB family pin controller driver.

- Tegra186 pin controller driver.

- AAEON UP pin controller support. This is some special
  pin controller that works as an external advanced line
  MUX and amplifier for signals from an Intel SoC.
  A cooperative effort with the GPIO maintainer was
  needed to reach a solution where we reuse code from
  the GPIO aggregator/forwarder driver.

- Renesas RZ/T2H and RZ/N2H pin controller support.

- Axis ARTPEC-8 subdriver for the Samsung pin controller
  driver.

Improvements:

- Output enable (OEN) support in the Renesas RZG2L driver.

- Properly support bias pull up/down in the pinctrl-single
  driver.

- Move over all GPIO portions using generic MMIO GPIO to
  the new generic GPIO chip management which has a nice and
  separate API.

- Proper DT bindings for some older Broadcom SoCs.

- External GPIO (EGPIO) support in the Qualcomm SM8250.

Deleted code:

- Dropped the now unused Samsung S3C24xx drivers.

VFIO updates for v6.18-rc1

 - Use fdinfo to expose the sysfs path of a device represented by a
   vfio device file. (Alex Mastro)

 - Mark vfio-fsl-mc, vfio-amba, and the reset functions for
   vfio-platform for removal as these are either orphaned or believed
   to be unused. (Alex Williamson)

 - Add reviewers for vfio-platform to save it from also being marked
   for removal. (Mostafa Saleh, Pranjal Shrivastava)

 - VFIO selftests, including basic sanity testing and minimal userspace
   drivers for testing against real hardware.  This is also expected to
   provide integration with KVM selftests for KVM-VFIO interfaces.
   (David Matlack, Josh Hilke)

 - Fix drivers/cdx and vfio/cdx to build without CONFIG_GENERIC_MSI_IRQ.
   (Nipun Gupta)

 - Fix reference leak in hisi_acc. (Miaoqian Lin)

 - Use consistent return for unsupported device feature. (Alex Mastro)

 - Unwind using the correct memory free callback in vfio/pds.
   (Zilin Guan)

 - Use IRQ_DISABLE_LAZY flag to improve handling of pre-PCI2.3 INTx
   and resolve stalled interrupt on ppc64. (Timothy Pearson)

 - Enable GB300 in nvgrace-gpu vfio-pci variant driver. (Tushar Dave)

 - Misc:
   - Drop unnecessary ternary conversion in vfio/pci. (Xichao Zhao)
   - Grammatical fix in nvgrace-gpu. (Morduan Zang)
   - Update Shameer's email address. (Shameer Kolothum)
   - Fix document build warning. (Alex Williamson)

sound updates for 6.18-rc1

It's been relatively calm in this cycle from the feature POV, but
there were lots of cleanup works in the wide-range of code for
converting with the auto-cleanup macros like guard().
The mostly user-visible changes are the support of a couple of new
compress-offload API extensions, and the support of new ASoC codec /
platform drivers as well as USB-audio quirks.

Here we go with some highlights:

Core:
 - Compress-offload API extension for 64bit timestamp support
 - Compress-offload API extension for OPUS codec support
 - Workaround for PCM locking issue with PREEMPT_RT and softirq
 - KCSAN warning fix for ALSA sequencer core

ASoC:
 - Continued cleanup works for ASoC core APIs
 - Lots of cleanups and conversions of DT bindings
 - Substantial maintainance work on the Intel AVS drivers
 - Support for Qualcomm Glymur and PM4125, Realtek RT1321, Shanghai
   FourSemi FS2104/5S, Texas Instruments PCM1754 and TAS2783A
 - Remove support for TI WL1273 for old Nokia systems

USB-audio:
 - Support for Tascam US-144mkII, Presonus S1824c support
 - More flexible quirk option handling
 - Fix for USB MIDI timer bug triggered by fuzzer

Others:
 - A large series of cleanups with guard() & co macros over (non-ASoC)
   sound drivers (PCI, ISA, HD-audio, USB-audio, drivers, etc)
 - TAS5825 HD-audio side-codec support

It has been a relatively busy cycle in docsland, with changes all over:

- Bring the kernel memory-model docs into the Sphinx build in the "literal
  include" mode.

- Lots of build-infrastructure work, further cleaning up long-term
  kernel-doc technical debt.  The sphinx-pre-install tool has been
  converted to Python and updated for current systems.

- A new tool to detect when documents have been moved and generate HTML
  redirects; this can be used on kernel.org (or any other site hosting the
  rendered docs) to avoid breaking links.

- Automated processing of the YAML files describing the netlink protocol.

- A significant update of the maintainer's PGP guide.

...and a seemingly endless series of typo fixes, build-problem fixes, etc.

Here is the main PDx86 PR for v6.18.

There's one-liner change into sound/ due to x86-android-tables moving away
from using GPIO legacy APIs which changes the name of a SPI/codec device.

dma-mapping updates for Linux 6.18:

- refactoring of DMA mapping API to physical addresses as the primary
interface instead of page+offset parameters; this gets much closer to
Matthew Wilcox's long term wish for struct-pageless IO to cacheable DRAM and is
supporting memdesc project which seeks to substantially transform how
struct page works; an advantage of this approach is the possibility of
introducing DMA_ATTR_MMIO, which covers existing 'dma_map_resource' flow
in the common paths, what in turn lets to use recently introduced
dma_iova_link() API to map PCI P2P MMIO without creating struct page;
developped by Leon Romanovsky and Jason Gunthorpe
- minor clean-up by Petr Tesarik and Qianfeng Rong

This update includes the following changes:

Drivers:

- Add ciphertext hiding support to ccp.
- Add hashjoin, gather and UDMA data move features to hisilicon.
- Add lz4 and lz77_only to hisilicon.
- Add xilinx hwrng driver.
- Add ti driver with ecb/cbc aes support.
- Add ring buffer idle and command queue telemetry for GEN6 in qat.

Others:

- Use rcu_dereference_all to stop false alarms in rhashtable.
- Fix CPU number wraparound in padata.

This branch has been sitting in linux-next for a few weeks,
but I added some RVB last week.

It has gone through the usual overlayfs test routines.

The branch merges cleanly with master branch of the moment.

Note that there is a small change to fs.h in this PR for the
sb encoding helpers.

This change is reviewed by Gabriel and Christian has agreed that I will
merge it through the ovl tree.

Thanks,
Amir.

overlayfs updates for 6.18

- Work by André Almeida to support case-insensitive overlayfs

  Underlying case-insensitive filesystems casefolding is per directory,
  but for overlayfs it is all-or-nothing.  It supports layers where
  all directories are casefolded (with same encoding) or layers where
  no directories are casefolded.

- A fix for a "bug" in Neil's ovl directory lock changes,
  which only manifested itself with casefold enabled layers
  which may return an unhashed negative dentry from lookup.

please pull the latest slab updates from:


This time we have two rather large features - a new percpu caching scheme and
re-entrant kmalloc_nolock(), along with the usual fixes and cleanups.

To avoid conflicts with mm tree, the patches from Lorenzo and Qianfeng are part
of this pull although normally they would be in mm tree. There should be no
conflicts.

Thanks,
Vlastimil


* A new layer for caching objects for allocation and free via percpu arrays
  called sheaves. The aim is to combine the good parts of SLAB (lower-overhead
  and simpler percpu caching, compared to SLUB) without the past issues with
  arrays for freeing remote NUMA node objects and their flushing. It also
  allows more efficient kfree_rcu(), and cheaper object preallocations for
  cases where the exact number of objects is unknown, but an upper bound is.

  Currently VMAs and maple nodes are using this new caching, with a plan to
  enable it for all caches and remove the complex SLUB fastpath based on cpu
  (partial) slabs and this_cpu_cmpxchg_double(). (Vlastimil Babka, with Liam
  Howlett and Pedro Falcato for the maple tree changes)

* Re-entrant kmalloc_nolock(), which allows opportunistic allocations from NMI
  and tracing/kprobe contexts. Building on prior page allocator and memcg
  changes, it will result in removing BPF-specific caches on top of slab.
  (Alexei Starovoitov)

* Various fixes and cleanups. (Kuan-Wei Chiu, Matthew Wilcox, Suren
  Baghdasaryan, Ye Liu)

request, so if I have done something incorrect or unsatisfactory to
your standards, please let me know so I (and Nicolas) can avoid
repeating mistakes in the future.

The majority of these changes have been in -next for several cycles
with no reported problems. I am only aware of one conflict with the
arm64 tree around CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN, Mark's resolution looks
correct to me.

  https://lore.kernel.org/aNU-sG84vqPj7p7G@sirena.org.uk/

There are several changes from other areas (mostly architectures) that
should have their appropriate acks and such.

There is a back merge of 6.17-rc6, which should have sufficient
justification but I know back merges can be contentious so I figured
I would be open with it up front anyways. Looking back on it, I probably
should have only merged up to 6.17-rc4 for commit bd7c2312128e ("pinctrl:
meson: Fix typo in device table macro") but I went with -rc6 to try and
head off a simple conflict from commit 41f9049cff32 ("riscv: Only allow
LTO with CMODEL_MEDANY") in -rc5. In the end, it didn't matter because
of the arm64 conflict so I will be more careful in the future.

Cheers,
Nathan


Kbuild updates for 6.18

- Extend modules.builtin.modinfo to include module aliases from
  MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE for builtin modules so that userspace tools (such
  as kmod) can verify that a particular module alias will be handled by
  a builtin module.

- Bump the minimum version of LLVM for building the kernel to 15.0.0.

- Upgrade several userspace API checks in headers_check.pl to errors.

- Unify and consolidate CONFIG_WERROR / W=e handling.

- Turn assembler and linker warnings into errors with CONFIG_WERROR /
  W=e.

- Respect CONFIG_WERROR / W=e when building userspace programs
  (userprogs).

- Enable -Werror unconditionally when building host programs
  (hostprogs).

- Support copy_file_range() and data segment alignment in gen_init_cpio
  to improve performance on filesystems that support reflinks such as
  btrfs and XFS.

Hi Linus,


A seven patch series adds a new parameterized test features
   KUnit parameterized tests currently support two primary methods for
   getting parameters:
     1.  Defining custom logic within a generate_params() function.
     2.  Using the KUNIT_ARRAY_PARAM() and KUNIT_ARRAY_PARAM_DESC()
         macros with a pre-defined static array and passing
         the created *_gen_params() to KUNIT_CASE_PARAM().

     These methods present limitations when dealing with dynamically
     generated parameter arrays, or in scenarios where populating parameters
     sequentially via generate_params() is inefficient or overly complex.

     These limitations are fixed with a parameterized test method.

- Fixes issues in kunit build artifacts cleanup,
- Fixes parsing skipped test problem in kselftest framework,
- Enables PCI on UML without triggering WARN()
- a few other fixes and adds support for new configs such as MIPS

bitmap-for-6.18

Bits-related paches for 6.17:
 - FIELD_PREP_WM16() consolidation (Nicolas);
 - bitmaps for Rust (Burak);
 - __fls() fix for arc (Kees).

is the creation of the "transitional" keyword for kconfig so CONFIG
renaming can go more smoothly. This has been a long-standing deficiency,
and with the renaming of CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI (since GCC will
soon have KCFI support), this came up again. The breadth of the diffstat
is mainly this renaming.

Thanks!

seccomp updates for v6.18-rc1

- Fix race with WAIT_KILLABLE_RECV (Johannes Nixdorf)

working on various hardening refactoring a while back we encountered
inconsistencies in the application of __attribute_const__ on the ffs()
family of functions. This series fixes this across all archs and adds
KUnit tests. Notably, this found a theoretical underflow in PCI (also
fixed here) and uncovered an inefficiency in ARC (fixed in the ARC
arch PR). I kept the series separate from the general hardening PR since
it is a stand-alone "topic".

Thanks!

ffs-const update for v6.18-rc1

There's a few more touches to vendor-prefixes.yaml this cycle than 
normal, so expect a couple of conflicts. It's all just trivial context 
conflicts.

This set of patches add a dlm_release_lockspace() flag to request that
node-failure recovery be performed for the node leaving the lockspace.
The implementation of this flag requires coordination with userland
clustering components.  It's been requested for use by GFS2.

Thanks,
Dave

Could you consider this pull request for 6.18-rc1?

There is no outstanding feature for this cycle.  One change adds
support for FS_IOC_GETFSLABEL, and the others are fixes and cleanups.

All commits have been in -next for a while and no potential merge
conflict is observed.

Thanks,
Gao Xiang

Changes since last update:

 - Support FS_IOC_GETFSLABEL ioctl;

 - Stop meaningless read-more policy on fragment extents;

 - Remove a duplicate check for ztailpacking inline.

Please accept the changes for FireWire subsystem to your tree.

This update may appear to include many changes, but most of them are
code refactoring. Except for the removal of firewire-ohci module
parameter, there are only a few notable changes.


firewire updates for v6.18

This update includes the following changes:

- Removal of the deprecated debug parameter from firewire-ohci module
- Replacement of the module-local workqueue in 1394 OHCI PCI driver with
  a companion IRQ thread
- Refactoring of bus management code
- Additional minor code cleanup

The existing tracepoints serve as an alternative to the removed debug
parameter. The use of IRQ thread is experimental, as it handles 1394 OHCI
SelfIDComplete event only. It may be replaced in the future releases with
another approach; e.g. by providing workqueue from core functionality

spi: Updates for v6.18

There's one big core change in this release, Jonas Gorski has addressed
the issues with multiple chip selects which makes things more robust and
stable.  Otherwise there's quite a bit of driver work, as well as some
new drivers several existing drivers have had quite a bit of work done
on them.

Possibly the most interesting thing is the VirtIO driver, this is
apparently useful for some automotive applications which want to keep as
small and robust a host system as they can, moving less critical
functionality into guests.

 - James Clark has done some substantial updates on the Freescale DSPI
   driver, porting in code from the BSP and building onm top of that to
   fix some bugs and increase performance.
 - Jonas Gorski has fixed the issues with handling multple chip selects,
   making things more robust and scalable.
 - Support for higher performance modes in the NXP FSPI driver from
   Haibo Chen.
 - Removal of the obsolete S3C2443 driver, the underlying SoC support
   has been removed from the kernel.
 - Support for Amlogic AL113L2, Atmel SAMA7D65 and SAM9x7 and for VirtIO
   controllers.

regulator: Updates for v6.18

This is a very quiet release for regulator, almost all the changes are
new drivers but we do also have some improvements for the Rust bindings.

 - Additional APIs added to the Rust bindings.
 - Support for Maxim MAX77838, NXP PF0900 and PF5300, Richtek RT5133 and
   SpacemiT P1.

regmap: Updates for v6.18

This just contains a few small fixes, there's been no substantial
development on regmap this release cycle.

Many thanks,

Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer (KCSAN) updates for v6.18

- Replace deprecated strcpy() with strscpy()

This change has had 6 weeks of linux-next exposure.

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@linaro.org>


Here's the PR containing the GPIO updates for this merge window. There are
two new drivers and support for more models in existing ones. 

The generic GPIO API has been reworked and all users converted which
allowed us to move the fields specific to the generic GPIO implementation
out of the high-level struct gpio_chip into its own structure that wraps
the gpio_chip.

Other than that, there's nothing too exciting. Mostly minor tweaks and
fixes all over the place, some refactoring and some small new features
in helper modules. Details are in the signed tag.

The merges you see here are either me pulling in MFD changes with GPIO
drivers that depend on MFD changes or my own immutable branches provided
for other trees.

Thanks,
Bartosz

please pull the latest irq/drivers branch from:

 IRQ controller

Updates for interrupt chip drivers:

  - Use the startup/shutdown callbacks for the PCI/MSI per device interrupt
    domains.

    This allows to initialize the RISCV PLIC interrupt hierarchy correctly
    and provides a mechanism to decouple the masking and unmasking during
    run-time from the expensive PCI mask and unmask when the underlying MSI
    provider implementation allows the interrupt to be masked.

  - Initialize the RISCV PLIC MSI interrupt hierarchy correctly so that the
    affinity assignment works correctly by switching it over to the
    startup/shutdown scheme

  - Allow MSI providers to opt out from masking a PCI/MSI interrupt at the
    PCI device during operation when the provider can mask the interrupt at
    the underlying interrupt chip. This reduces the overhead in scenarios
    where disable_irq()/enable_irq() is utilized frequently by a driver.

    The PCI/MSI device level [un]masking is only required on startup and
    shutdown in this case.

  - Remove the conditional mask/unmask logic in the PCI/MSI layer as this
    is now handled unconditionally.

  - Replace the hardcoded interrupt routing in the Loongson EIOINTC
    interrupt driver to respect the firmware settings and spread them out
    to different CPU interrupt inputs so that the demultiplexing handler
    only needs to read only a single 64-bit status register instead of
    four, which significantly reduces the overhead in VMs as the status
    register access causes a VM exit.

  - Add support for the new AST2700 SCU interrupt controllers

  - Use the legacy interrupt domain setup for the Loongson PCH-LPC
    interrupt controller, which resembles the x86 legacy PIC setup and has
    the same hardcoded legacy requirements.

  - The usual set of cleanups, fixes and improvements all over the place

Thanks,

tglx

please pull the latest timers/core branch from:

-09-29


Updates for the time(rs) core subsystem:

  - Address the inconsistent shutdown sequence of per CPU clockevents on
    CPU hotplug, which onoly removed it from the core but failed to invoke
    the actual device driver shutdown callback. This keeps the timer
    active, which prevents power savings and causes pointless noise in
    virtualization.

  - Encapsulate the open coded access to the hrtimer clock base, which is a
    private implementation detail, so that the implementation can be
    changed without breaking a lot of usage sites.

  - Enhance the debug output of the clocksource watchdog to provide better
    information for analysis.

  - The usual set of cleanups and enhancements all over the place

Thanks,

please pull the latest irq/core branch from:

-29

RT

A set of updates for the interrupt core subsystem:

  - Introduce irq_chip_[startup|shutdown]_parent() to prepare for
    addressing a few short comings in the PCI/MSI interrupt subsystem.

    It allows to utilize the interrupt chip startup/shutdown callbacks for
    initializing the interrupt chip hierarchy properly on certain RISCV
    implementations and provides a mechanism to reduce the overhead of
    masking and unmasking PCI/MSI interrupts during operation when the
    underlying MSI provider can mask the interrupt.

    The actual usage comes with the interrupt driver pull request.

  - Add generic error handling for devm_request_*_irq()

    This allows to remove the zoo of random error printk's all over the
    usage sites.

  - Add a mechanism to warn about long-running interrupt handlers

    Long running interrupt handlers can introduce latencies and tracking
    them down is a tedious task. The tracking has to be enabled with a
    threshold on the kernel command line and utilizes a static branch to
    remove the overhead when disabled.

  - Update and extend the selftests which validate the CPU hotplug
    interrupt migration logic

  - Allow dropping the per CPU softirq lock on PREEMPT_RT kernels, which
    causes contention and latencies all over the place.

    The serialization requirements have been pushed down into the actual
    affected usage sites already.

  - The usual small cleanups and improvements

Thanks,

please pull the latest core/rseq branch from:

on, to link with glibc

Two fixes for RSEQ:

  1) Protect the event mask modification against the membarrier() IPI as
     otherwise the RmW operation is unprotected and events might be lost.

  2) Fix the weak symbol reference in rseq selftests

     The current weak RSEQ symbols definitions which were added to allow
     static linkage are not working correctly as the effectively re-define
     the glibc symbols leading to multiple versions of the symbols when
     compiled with -fno-common. Mark them as 'extern' to convert them from
     weak symbol definitions to weak symbol references. That works with
     static and dynamic linkage independent of -fcommon and -fno-common.

A set of changes to consolidate the generic TIF bits accross architectures

All architectures define the same set of generic TIF bits. This makes it
pointlessly hard to add a new generic TIF bit or to change an existing one.

Provide a generic variant and convert the architectures which utilize the
generic entry code over to use it. The TIF space is divided into 16 generic
bits and 16 architecture specific bits, which turned out to provide enough
space on both sides.

Linus,

RISC-V updates for the v6.18 merge window (part one)

First set of RISC-V updates for the v6.18 merge window, including:

- Replacement of __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ in header files (other
  architectures have already merged this type of cleanup)

- The introduction of ioremap_wc() for RISC-V

- Cleanup of the RISC-V kprobes code to use mostly-extant macros rather than
  open code

- A RISC-V kprobes unit test

- An architecture-specific endianness swap macro set implementation,
  leveraging some dedicated RISC-V instructions for this purpose if they
  are available

- The ability to identity and communicate to userspace the presence of a
  MIPS P8700-specific ISA extension, and to leverage its MIPS-specific PAUSE
  implementation in cpu_relax()

- Several other miscellaneous cleanups

Subject: [GIT PULL] pwm: Changes for v6.18-rc1
MIME-Version: 1.0

Hello Linus,

the following changes since commit 8f5ae30d69d7543eee0d70083daf4de8fe15d585:

  Linux 6.17-rc1 (2025-08-10 19:41:16 +0300)

  pwm: cros-ec: Avoid -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warnings (2025-09-15 1=
1:39:47 +0200)

pwm: Changes for v6.18-rc1

The core highlights for this cycle are:

 - The pca9586 driver was converted to the waveform API.
 - Waveform drivers automatically provide a gpio chip to make PWMs
   usable as GPIOs. (The pca9586 driver did that in a driver specific
   implementation before.)

Otherwise it's the usual mix of fixes and device tree and driver changes
to support new hardware variants.


There is an immutable branch pending for this merge window that was
created by Lee at

t-pinctrl-pwm-v6.18

=2E I didn't add it here because it merges cleanly into my tree; you'll get
it via Lee's PR and probably others, too. (For the next time such a
situation arises: Would you prefer me including such a merge anyhow?)

Otherwise this PR should be boring for you
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DV_ioxeU7Kpw). Diffstat below as usual.

Thanks to all contributors!

This pull request contains several fixes of syzbot reported
issues, HFS/HFS+ fixes of xfstests failures, and rework of
HFS/HFS+ debug output subsystem.

Kang Chen has fixed a slab-out-of-bounds issue in hfsplus_uni2asc()
when hfsplus_uni2asc() is called from hfsplus_listxattr().
Yang Chenzhi has fixed a crash in hfsplus_bmap_alloc() if record
offset or length is larger than node_size.
Yangtao Li made correction of returning error code from
hfsplus_fill_super() if Catalog File contains corrupted record
for the case of hidden directory's type.

The KMSAN uninit-value issue has been fixed in hfs_find_set_zero_bits()
by exchanging the kmalloc() on kzalloc() call. The KMSAN uninit-value
issue in hfsplus_delete_cat() has been fixed by proper initialization
of struct hfsplus_inode_info in the hfsplus_iget() logic. The KMSAN
uninit-value issue in __hfsplus_ext_cache_extent() has been fixed by
exchanging the kmalloc() on kzalloc() in hfs_find_init().

The slab-out-of-bounds issue could happen in hfsplus_strcasecmp()
if the length field of struct hfsplus_unistr is bigger than
HFSPLUS_MAX_STRLEN. The issue has been fixed by checking
the length of comparing strings. And if the strings' length
is bigger than HFSPLUS_MAX_STRLEN, then the length is corrected
to this value.

The generic/736 xfstest fails for HFS case because HFS volume
becomes corrupted after the test run. The main reason of
the issue is the absence of logic that corrects
mdb->drNxtCNID/HFS_SB(sb)->next_id (next unused CNID) after
deleting a record in Catalog File. It was introduced
a hfs_correct_next_unused_CNID() method that implements
the necessary logic.

All changes have been in linux-next for at least six rounds (except for two
minor patches that change the Display implementation of pci::Vendor and
pci::Class to print the actual vendor and class name).

This is the next round of the Rust support.

A small one this time. One of the trees I merge (pin-init) is going this
cycle through DRM for convenience.

No conflicts expected at this time. Nevertheless, I did a test merge and
tested it a bit and it seems fine.

When you merge other trees, you will have some. The resolutions in -next
should be fine, except for a `rustfmt` issue in one, so please remember
to double-check that on your merges (it may be solved by the time you
get to it).

All commits have been in linux-next for at least four rounds, most for
two weeks or more.


Cheers,
Miguel

Rust changes for v6.18

Toolchain and infrastructure:

 - Derive 'Zeroable' for all structs and unions generated by 'bindgen'
   where possible and corresponding cleanups. To do so, add the
   'pin-init' crate as a dependency to 'bindings' and 'uapi'.

   It also includes its first use in the 'cpufreq' module, with more to
   come in the next cycle.

 - Add warning to the 'rustdoc' target to detect broken 'srctree/' links
   and fix existing cases.

 - Remove support for unused (since v6.16) host '#[test]'s, simplifying
   the 'rusttest' target. Tests should generally run within KUnit.

'kernel' crate:

 - Add 'ptr' module with a new 'Alignment' type, which is always a power
   of two and is used to validate that a given value is a valid
   alignment and to perform masking and alignment operations:

       // Checked at build time.
       assert_eq!(Alignment::new::<16>().as_usize(), 16);

       // Checked at runtime.
       assert_eq!(Alignment::new_checked(15), None);

       assert_eq!(Alignment::of::<u8>().log2(), 0);

       assert_eq!(0x25u8.align_down(Alignment::new::<0x10>()), 0x20);
       assert_eq!(0x5u8.align_up(Alignment::new::<0x10>()), Some(0x10));
       assert_eq!(u8::MAX.align_up(Alignment::new::<0x10>()), None);

   It also includes its first use in Nova.

 - Add 'core::mem::{align,size}_of{,_val}' to the prelude, matching
   Rust 1.80.0.

 - Keep going with the steps on our migration to the standard library
   'core::ffi::CStr' type (use 'kernel::{fmt, prelude::fmt!}' and use
   upstream method names).

 - 'error' module: improve 'Error::from_errno' and 'to_result'
   documentation, including examples/tests.

 - 'sync' module: extend 'aref' submodule documentation now that it
   exists, and more updates to complete the ongoing move of 'ARef' and
   'AlwaysRefCounted' to 'sync::aref'.

 - 'list' module: add an example/test for 'ListLinksSelfPtr' usage.

 - 'alloc' module:

   - Implement 'Box::pin_slice()', which constructs a pinned slice of
     elements.

   - Provide information about the minimum alignment guarantees of
     'Kmalloc', 'Vmalloc' and 'KVmalloc'.

   - Take minimum alignment guarantees of allocators for
     'ForeignOwnable' into account.

   - Remove the 'allocator_test' (including 'Cmalloc').

   - Add doctest for 'Vec::as_slice()'.

   - Constify various methods.

 - 'time' module:

   - Add methods on 'HrTimer' that can only be called with exclusive
     access to an unarmed timer, or from timer callback context.

   - Add arithmetic operations to 'Instant' and 'Delta'.

   - Add a few convenience and access methods to 'HrTimer' and
     'Instant'.

'macros' crate:

 - Reduce collections in 'quote!' macro.

And a few other cleanups and improvements.

Note, there is a trivial conflict between tip and bpf-next trees:
in kernel/events/uprobes.c between commit:
  4363264111e12 ("uprobe: Do not emulate/sstep original instruction when ip is changed")
from the bpf-next tree and commit:
  ba2bfc97b4629 ("uprobes/x86: Add support to optimize uprobes")
from the tip tree:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/aNVMR5rjA2geHNLn@sirena.org.uk/
since Jiri's two separate uprobe/bpf related patch series landed
in different trees. One was mostly uprobe. Another was mostly bpf.

Other than that the main changes are:

- Support pulling non-linear xdp data with bpf_xdp_pull_data() kfunc
  (Amery Hung).
  Applied as a stable branch in bpf-next and net-next trees.

- Support reading skb metadata via bpf_dynptr (Jakub Sitnicki).
  Also a stable branch in bpf-next and net-next trees.

- Enforce expected_attach_type for tailcall compatibility
  (Daniel Borkmann)

- Replace path-sensitive with path-insensitive live stack analysis
  in the verifier (Eduard Zingerman).
  This is a significant change in the verification logic. More details,
  motivation, long term plans are in the cover letter/merge commit.

- Support signed BPF programs (KP Singh).
  This is another major feature that took years to materialize.
  Algorithm details are in the cover letter/marge commit.

- Add support for may_goto instruction to s390 JIT (Ilya Leoshkevich)

- Add support for may_goto instruction to arm64 JIT (Puranjay Mohan)

- Fix USDT SIB argument handling in libbpf (Jiawei Zhao)

- Allow uprobe-bpf program to change context registers (Jiri Olsa)

- Support signed loads from BPF arena (Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi
  and Puranjay Mohan)

- Allow access to union arguments in tracing programs (Leon Hwang)

- Optimize rcu_read_lock() + migrate_disable() combination
  where it's used in BPF subsystem (Menglong Dong)

- Introduce bpf_task_work_schedule*() kfuncs to schedule
  deferred execution of BPF callback in the context of
  a specific task using the kernel’s task_work infrastructure
  (Mykyta Yatsenko)

- Enforce RCU protection for KF_RCU_PROTECTED kfuncs
  (Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi)

- Add stress test for rqspinlock in NMI
  (Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi)

- Improve the precision of tnum multiplier verifier operation
  (Nandakumar Edamana)

- Use tnums to improve is_branch_taken() logic (Paul Chaignon)

- Add support for atomic operations in arena in riscv JIT (Pu Lehui)

- Report arena faults to BPF error stream (Puranjay Mohan)

- Search for tracefs at /sys/kernel/tracing first in bpftool
  (Quentin Monnet)

- Add bpf_strcasecmp() kfunc (Rong Tao)

- Support lookup_and_delete_elem command in BPF_MAP_STACK_TRACE
  (Tao Chen)

Hi Rafael,

after an error reported by kbuild test, it appears a file missed when 
importing the RZ/G3E new driver which stayed locally after a conflict 
resolution. This change is on top of the previous tag. Alternatively, if 
you wish to drop the previous PR, I can emit a new PR with this 
offending change fixed, IOW this fix folded with initial patch (which 
sounds cleaner to me BTW).

- Add missing file when importing conflicting change for the Renesas
   RZ/G3E thermal driver (Daniel Lezcano)

- Add a RISC-V optimized implementation of Poly1305. This code was
  written by Andy Polyakov and contributed by Zhihang Shao.

- Migrate the MD5 code into lib/crypto/, and add KUnit tests for MD5.
  Yes, it's still the 90s, and several kernel subsystems are still
  using MD5 for legacy use cases. As long as that remains the case,
  it's helpful to clean it up in the same way as I've been doing for
  other algorithms. Later, I plan to convert most users of MD5 to use
  the new MD5 library API instead of the generic crypto API.

- Simplify the organization of the ChaCha, Poly1305, BLAKE2s, and
  Curve25519 code. Consolidate these into one module per algorithm,
  and centralize the configuration and build process. This is the same
  reorganization that has already been successful for SHA-1 and SHA-2.

- Remove the unused crypto_kpp API for Curve25519.

- Migrate the BLAKE2s and Curve25519 self-tests to KUnit.

- Always enable the architecture-optimized BLAKE2s code.

Due to interdependencies between test and non-test code, both are
included in this pull request. The broken-down diffstat is as follows:

    Tests:            735 insertions(+), 1917 deletions(-)
    RISC-V Poly1305:  877 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
    Other:           1777 insertions(+), 3117 deletions(-)

Besides the new RISC-V code which is an addition, there are quite a
few simplifications due to the improved code organization for multiple
algorithms, the removal of the unused crypto_kpp API for Curve25519
and redundant tests, and the redesign of the BLAKE2s test.

Note: this depends on the pull request
"[GIT PULL 03/12 for v6.18] inode" from Christian Brauner.


Add support for 2-way interleaved SHA-256 hashing to lib/crypto/, and
make fsverity use it for faster file data verification. This improves
fsverity performance on many x86_64 and arm64 processors.

Later, I plan to make dm-verity use this too.

Make fs/crypto/ use the HMAC-SHA512 library functions instead of
crypto_shash. This is simpler, faster, and more reliable.

Update crc_kunit to test the CRC functions in softirq and hardirq
contexts, similar to what the lib/crypto/ KUnit tests do. Move the
helper function needed to do this into a common header.

This is useful mainly to test fallback code paths for when
FPU/SIMD/vector registers are unusable.

Hi Wolfram,

this merge window pull request is rather small, and the blame is
all on me. It has been a very messy period, leaving me with
little time to look after the patches for 6.18.

That said, I now have quite a bit of work ahead, but I am
confident that with the next pull request I will manage to slim
the queue down.

For now, I hope you will not mind a second part of this pull
request, where I plan to include the most obvious patches from
those still in the queue.

Thank you and wishing you a great weekend,
Andi

i2c-host for v6.18

dt-bindings:
 - add support for MediaTek MT6878 I2C
 - Drp[ support fpr S3C2410

cgroup: Changes for v6.18

- Extensive cpuset code cleanup and refactoring work with no functional
  changes: CPU mask computation logic refactoring, introducing new helpers,
  removing redundant code paths, and improving error handling for better
  maintainability.

- A few bug fixes to cpuset including fixes for partition creation failures
  when isolcpus is in use, missing error returns, and null pointer access
  prevention in free_tmpmasks().

- Core cgroup changes include replacing the global percpu_rwsem with
  per-threadgroup rwsem when writing to cgroup.procs for better scalability,
  workqueue conversions to use WQ_PERCPU and system_percpu_wq to prepare for
  workqueue default switching from percpu to unbound, and removal of unused
  code including the post_attach callback.

- New cgroup.stat.local time accounting feature that tracks frozen time
  duration.

- Misc changes including selftests updates (new freezer time tests and
  backward compatibility fixes), documentation sync, string function safety
  improvements, and 64-bit division fixes.

workqueue: Changes for v6.18

- WQ_PERCPU was added to remaining alloc_workqueue() users and system_wq
  usage was replaced with system_percpu_wq and system_unbound_wq with
  system_dfl_wq. These are equivalent conversions with no functional changes,
  preparing for switching default to unbound workqueues from percpu.

- A handshake mechanism was added for canceling BH workers to avoid live
  lock scenarios under PREEMPT_RT.

- Unnecessary rcu_read_lock/unlock() calls were dropped in
  wq_watchdog_timer_fn() and workqueue_congested().

- Documentation was fixed to resolve texinfodocs warnings.

sched_ext: Changes for v6.18

- Code organization cleanup. Separate internal types and accessors to
  ext_internal.h to reduce the size of ext.c and improve maintainability.

- Prepare for cgroup sub-scheduler support by adding @sch parameter to
  various functions and helpers, reorganizing scheduler instance handling,
  and dropping obsolete helpers like scx_kf_exit() and kf_cpu_valid().

- Add new scx_bpf_cpu_curr() and scx_bpf_locked_rq() BPF helpers to provide
  safer access patterns with proper RCU protection. scx_bpf_cpu_rq() is
  deprecated with warnings due to potential race conditions.

- Improve debugging with migration-disabled counter in error state dumps,
  SCX_EFLAG_INITIALIZED flag, bitfields for warning flags, and other
  enhancements to help diagnose issues.

- Use cgroup_lock/unlock() for cgroup synchronization instead of
  scx_cgroup_rwsem based synchronization. This is simpler and allows
  enable/disable paths to synchronize against cgroup changes independent of
  the CPU controller.

- rhashtable_lookup() replacement to avoid redundant RCU locking was
  reverted due to RCU usage warnings. Will be redone once rhashtable is
  updated to use rcu_dereference_all().

- Other misc updates and fixes including bypass handling improvements,
  scx_task_iter_relock() improvements, tools/sched_ext updates, and
  compatibility helpers.

[sending this early as I'm fishing on Monday]

across the board, including some nice mm improvements for CPUs with
the "noabort" BBML2 feature and a clever patch to allow ptdump to play
nicely with block mappings in the vmalloc area.

We've only had a couple of trivial conflicts show up in -next:

  * The fs-next tree has taken clone3() support for shadow stacks and
    this gives rise to a simple context conflict in our asm/gcs.h.
    There's been some late ABI feedback from the glibc community,
    however, so maybe Christian will end up dropping the patches [1].

  * The kbuild tree has removed the tautological dependency that
    CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN has on the assembler version. However, we've
    extended that to make it depend on BROKEN in anticipation of
    dropping support altogether.

I've already got a handful of minor fixes to go on top but I'll send
those separately once they've had a chance to sit in -next.

Summary in the tag.

Cheers,

Will

   and mapping them with appropriate attributes.

CPU features:
 - Advertise atomic floating-point instructions to userspace.

 - Extend Spectre workarounds to cover additional Arm CPU variants.

 - Extend list of CPUs that support break-before-make level 2 and
   guarantee not to generate TLB conflict aborts for changes of mapping
   granularity (BBML2_NOABORT).

 - Add GCS support to our uprobes implementation.

Documentation:
 - Remove bogus SME documentation concerning register state when
   entering/exiting streaming mode.

Entry code:

 - For CPUs implementing BBML2_NOABORT, utilise block mappings in the
   linear map even when rodata= applies to virtual aliases.

 - Don't re-allocate the virtual region between '_text' and '_stext',
   as doing so confused tools parsing /proc/vmcore.

Miscellaneous:
 - Clean-up Kconfig menuconfig text for architecture features.

 - Avoid redundant bitmap_empty() during determination of supported
   SME vector lengths.

 - Re-enable warnings when building the 32-bit vDSO object.

 - Fix incorrect signedness of some fields in ID_AA64MMFR4_EL1.

 - Sync TCR_EL1 definition with the latest Arm ARM (L.b).

 - Be stricter about the input fed into our AWK sysreg generator script.

 - Typo fixes and removal of redundant definitions.

ACPI, EFI and PSCI:
 - Decouple Arm's "Software Delegated Exception Interface" (SDEI)
   support from the ACPI GHES code so that it can be used by platforms
   booted with device-tree.

 - Remove unnecessary per-CPU tracking of the FPSIMD state across EFI
   runtime calls.

 - Fix a node refcount imbalance in the PSCI device-tree code.

CPU Features:
 - Ensure register sanitisation is applied to fields in ID_AA64MMFR4.

 - Expose AIDR_EL1 to userspace via sysfs, primarily so that KVM guests
   can reliably query the underlying CPU types from the VMM.

 - Re-enabling of SME support (CONFIG_ARM64_SME) as a result of fixes
   to our context-switching, signal handling and ptrace code.

Locking updates for v6.16 mostly include Rust runtime enhancements:

 - Add initial support for generic LKMM atomic variables in Rust. (Boqun Feng)
 - Add the wrapper for `refcount_t` in Rust. (Gary Guo)
 - Make `data` in `Lock` structurally pinned. (Daniel Almeida)
 - Add a new reviewer, Gary Guo.

 Thanks,

Ingo

Performance events updates for v6.18:

Core perf code updates:

   is in reaction to the recently fixed refcount bugs, which
   could have been detected earlier and could have mitigated
   the bug somewhat. (Thomas Gleixner, Peter Zijlstra)

 - Clean up and simplify the callchain code, in preparation
   for sframes. (Steven Rostedt, Josh Poimboeuf)

Uprobes updates:

 - Add support to optimize usdt probes on x86-64, which
   gives a substantial speedup. (Jiri Olsa)

 - Cleanups and fixes on x86 (Peter Zijlstra)

PMU driver updates:

 - Various optimizations and fixes to the Intel PMU driver
   (Dapeng Mi)

Misc cleanups and fixes:

 - Remove redundant __GFP_NOWARN (Qianfeng Rong)

 Thanks,

Ingo

This is the batch of pull requests for the v6.18 merge window!

This was a pretty usual cycle. Not light, not particularly heavy.

There are a few minor filesystem specific changes such as afs and pidfs
but nothing that's really worth mentioning. Same goes for iomap and
rust. There are some changes around clone3() and copy_process() that
lead to some cleanups.

There's some workqueue chagnes that affect all of fs but it's not all
that exciting and we don't have to care once all the cleanup is done and
the semantics for per-cpu and unbounded workqueues are simplified and
clarified.

There's a pretty interesting writeback series by Jan Kara that fixes a
nasty issue causing lockups reported by users when a systemd unit
reading lots of files from a filesystem mounted with the lazytime mount
option exits.

With the lazytime mount option enabled we can be switching many dirty
inodes on cgroup exit to the parent cgroup. The numbers observed in
practice when a systemd slice of a large cron job exits can easily reach
hundreds of thousands or millions.

The overall time complexity of switching all the inodes to the correct
wb is quadratic leading to workers being pegged for hours consuming 100%
of the CPU and switching inodes to the parent wb.

That issue should be gone.

We also have a series that shrinks struct inode by 16 bytes. This is
really something I care about because struct inode in contrast to struct
file and struct dentry both of which are meticulously clean by now (I
mean, it could alwasy be better, but you know...) struct inode is still
a giant dumping ground where everyone is made to pay for features that
only 3 filesystems actually end up using. First step, I've moved fscrpt
and fsverity pointers out of struct inode and into the individual
filesystems that care about this. Hopefully more to come in that area.

There's also some preliminary cleanup related to the inode lifetime
rework that is currently under way leading to less open-coded accesses
to internal inode members and some simplifications for iput_final().

Last but not least there's a bunch of namespace related rework this cycle.
This specifically also addresses a complaint you had a few weeks back
about ns_alloc_inum(). That's now completely gone and so is the
special-casing of the init network namespace initialization.

Initialization, reference counting, and cleanup are now unified and
statically derived from the namespace type allowing the compiler to
catch obvious bugs.

The namespace iterator infrastructure I did for the mount namespace some
time back is now extended and generalized to cover all other namespace
types. As a first step this allows the implemenation of namespace file
handles.

As with pidfs file handles, namespace file handles are exhaustive,
meaning it is not required to actually hold a reference to nsfs to be
able to decode aka open_by_handle_at() a namespace file handle. It has
the same advantage as pidfs file handles have. It's possible to reliably
and for the lifetime of the system refer to a namespace without pinning
any resources and to compare them trivially.

The namespace file handle layout is exposed as uapi and has a stable and
extensible format. The stable format means that userspace may construct
its own namespace file handles without going through name_to_handle_at().

Thanks!
Christian

( Merge note: we've stopped using Link tags for the purpose of tip-bot 
  lkml email notifications during the v6.18 development window, and 
  thus commits applied after September 15-ish only have Links if they 
  are particularly informative. Commits before that still have the 
  old-style Link tags. )

Scheduler updates for v6.18:

Core scheduler changes:

 - Make migrate_{en,dis}able() inline, to improve performance
   (Menglong Dong)

 - Move STDL_INIT() functions out-of-line (Peter Zijlstra)

 - Unify the SCHED_{SMT,CLUSTER,MC} Kconfig (Peter Zijlstra)

Fair scheduling:

 - Defer throttling when tasks exit to user-space, to reduce the
   chance & impact of throttle-preemption with held locks and
   other resources. (Aaron Lu, Valentin Schneider)

 - Get rid of sched_domains_curr_level hack for tl->cpumask(),
   as the warning was getting triggered on certain topologies.
   (Peter Zijlstra)

Misc cleanups & fixes:

 - Header cleanups (Menglong Dong)

 - Fix race in push_dl_task() (Harshit Agarwal)

 Thanks,

Ingo

 arch/x86/configs/xen.config        |  1 -

please pull the x86/apic lineup for v6.18-rc1.

The AMD SEV (encrypted guests and hypervisor support) side of things received
a lot of development this time around and you should be getting a lot of code
from several trees.

Even this branch contains two big features because it was deemed a better idea
to merge them into one.

So there might be other merge conflicts, like with the crypto tree, for
example:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/aM1bJqhtojdLhp3c@sirena.org.uk

The resolution should be easy but lemme give you a heads-up anyway.

Thx.

- Add functionality to provide runtime firmware updates for the non-x86 parts
  of an AMD platform like the security processor (ASP) firmware, modules
  etc, for example. The intent being that these updates are interim,
  live fixups before a proper BIOS update can be attempted

- Add guest support for AMD's Secure AVIC feature which gives encrypted
  guests the needed protection against a malicious hypervisor generating
  unexpected interrupts and injecting them into such guest, thus
  interfering with its operation in an unexpected and negative manner.
  The advantage of this scheme is that the guest determines which
  interrupts and when to accept them vs leaving that to the benevolence
  (or not) of the hypervisor

- Strictly separate the startup code from the rest of the kernel where
  former is executed from the initial 1:1 mapping of memory. The problem
  was that the toolchain-generated version of the code was being
  executed from a different mapping of memory than what was "assumed"
  during code generation, needing an ever-growing pile of fixups for
  absolute memory references which are invalid in the early, 1:1 memory
  mapping during boot.

  The major advantage of this is that there's no need to check the 1:1
  mapping portion of the code for absolute relocations anymore and get
  rid of the RIP_REL_REF() macro sprinkling all over the place.

  For more info, see Ard's very detailed writeup on this:
  https://lore.kernel.org/r/CAMj1kXEzKEuePEiHB%2BHxvfQbFz0sTiHdn4B%2B%2BzVBJ2mhkPkQ4Q@mail.gmail.com

- The usual cleanups and fixes

please pull the x86/cache lineup for v6.18-rc1.

Thx.

---

- Add support on AMD for assigning QOS bandwidth counters to resources
  (RMIDs) with the ability for those resources to be tracked by the
  counters as long as they're assigned to them. Previously, due to hw
  limitations, bandwidth counts from untracked resources would get lost
  when those resources are not tracked. Refactor the code and user
  interfaces to be able to also support other, similar features on ARM,
  for example

please pull the x86/cpu lineup for v6.18-rc1.

Thx.

---

- Make UMIP instruction detection more robust

- Correct and cleanup AMD CPU topology detection; document the relevant
  CPUID leaves topology parsing precedence on AMD

- Add support for running the kernel as guest on FreeBSD's Bhyve
  hypervisor

- Cleanups and improvements

please pull the x86/bugs lineup for v6.18-rc1.

Thx.

  fuzzing the different mitigation options

please pull the RAS lineup for v6.18-rc1.

Thx.

   mnemonic because the minimum binutils version supports it

please pull a single x86/misc update for v6.18-rc1.

Thx.

---

- Add instruction decoding support for the XOP-prefixed instruction set
  present on the AMD Bulldozer uarch

  in the build machinery now that the minimal version of both compilers
  supports them

please pull the EDAC lineup for v6.18.

Thx.

---

- Add support for new AMD family 0x1a models to amd64_edac

- Add an EDAC driver for the AMD VersalNET memory controller which
  reports hw errors from different IP blocks in the fabric using an
  IPC-type transport

- Drop the silly static number of memory controllers in the Intel EDAC
  drivers (skx, i10nm) in favor of a flexible array so that former
  doesn't need to be increased with every new generation which adds more
  memory controllers; along with a proper refactoring

- Add support for two Alder Lake-S SOCs to ie31200_edac

- Add an EDAC driver for ADM Cortex A72 cores, and specifically for
  reporting L1 and L2 cache errors

- Last but not least, the usual fixes, cleanups and improvements all
  over the subsystem

Hi,

please pull the following updates for btrfs. There are no new features,
the changes are in the core code, notably tree-log error handling and
reporting improvements, and initial support for block size > page size.

(There's one build warning due to printk format mismatch reported on
i386, we'll fix it before rc1. I did not consider it serious enough to
rework and delay the whole pull request.)


Performance improvements:

- search data checksums in the commit root (previous transaction) to
  avoid locking contention, this improves parallelism of read heavy/low
  write workloads, and also reduces transaction commit time;
  on real and reproducer workload the sync time went from minutes to
  tens of seconds (workload and numbers are in the changelog)

Core:

- tree-log updates
  - error handling improvements, transaction aborts
  - add new error state 'O' (printed in status messages) when log replay
    fails and is aborted
  - reduced number of btrfs_path allocations when traversing the tree

- 'block size > page size' support
  - basic implementation with limitations, under experimental build
  - limitations: no direct io, raid56, encoded read (standalone and in
    send ioctl), encoded write
  - preparatory work for compression, removing implicit assumptions of
    page and block sizes
  - compression workspaces are now per-filesystem, we cannot assume
    common block size for work memory among different filesystems

- tree-checker now verifies INODE_EXTREF item (which is implementing
  hardlinks)

- tree leaf pretty printer updates, there were missing data from items,
  keys/items

- move config option CONFIG_BTRFS_REF_VERIFY to CONFIG_BTRFS_DEBUG,
  it's a debugging feature and not needed to be enabled separately

- more struct btrfs_path auto free updates

- use ref_tracker API for tracking delayed inodes, enabled by mount
  option 'ref_verify', allowing to better pinpoint leaking references

- in zoned mode, avoid selecting data relocation zoned for ordinary data
  block groups

- updated and enhanced error messages

- lots of cleanups and refactoring

NIOS2: update for v6.18
- Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ in headers
- Set memblock.current_limit when setting pfn limits

LoongArch KVM changes for v6.18

1. Add PTW feature detection on new hardware.
2. Add sign extension with kernel MMIO/IOCSR emulation.
3. Improve in-kernel IPI emulation.
4. Improve in-kernel PCH-PIC emulation.
5. Move kvm_iocsr tracepoint out of generic code.

please consider pulling the following gfs2 changes for 6.18.

gfs2 changes

- Partially revert "gfs2: do_xmote fixes" to ignore dlm_lock() errors
  during withdraw; passing on those errors doesn't help.

- Change the LM_FLAG_TRY and LM_FLAG_TRY_1CB logic in add_to_queue() to
  check if the holder would actually block.

- Move some more dlm specific code from glock.c to lock_dlm.c.

- Remove the unused dlm alternate locking mode code.

- Add proper locking to make sure that dlm lockspaces are never used
  after being released.

- Various other cleanups.

interconnect changes for 6.18

This pull request contains the interconnect changes for the 6.18-rc1
merge window. It contains new driver and a minor core cleanup.

Core change:
- Use device_match_of_node() instead of open coding it

Driver changes:
- Add new driver for the Qualcomm Glymur SoC
- Enable OSM L3 support for the QCS615 SoC

Signed-off-by: Georgi Djakov <djakov@kernel.org>

Apple SoC driver updates for 6.18

Krzysztof Kozlowski asked us to move away from generic compatibles:
- Adjust all dt-bindings to use apple,t8103-XXXX instead of apple,XXXX
  as fallback and add a comment that the old generic list should no
  longer be extended.
- Add new fallback compatibles to pinctrl, pmdomain, spi, and mca
  drivers. These changes have been Acked by their subsystem maintainers
  to be merged through our tree together with the dt-bindings.

Support for pre-M1 Apple Silicon:
- SART and mailbox gain support for Apple's A11, which are both
  required for NVMe.
- NVMe also gains support for Apple's A11 and the nvme maintainers
  prefer that we merge this through the soc tree together with
  the mailbox and SART changes.
- SPMI compatibles for A11 and T2 have been added, also going through
  the soc tree due to conflicts with the generic compatible removal and
  because no driver change is required.

Hi Peter & Ingo,

than usual because I was at Kangrejos conference this week, however the
changes are relatively small and simple, so I think it's Ok for v6.18.
I also try using "git notes" for submission links as Thomas suggests,
let see how it goes ;-)

Locking changes for v6.18:

- Fix a data-race in do_raw_write_lock reported by KCSAN

Rust locking changes for v6.18

- Make `data` in `Lock` structurally pinned.

  Previously the `data` field of a `Lock<T>` is not structurally pinned,
  and it's impossible to initialize the `data` field with a
  pin-initializer, hence e.g. a `Lock<T>` where T is a pin-initialized
  type is not supported. This encourages workarounds like
  `Lock<Pin<KBox<T>>`, which is more complicated and less efficient.
  Therefore make the `data` field in `Lock` structurally pinned to
  support pin-initialized types in a `Lock<T>`.

  Since the `data` field is structurally pinned, make `Guard<T, ...>`
  only `DerefMut` is T is Unpin, otherwise `Guard::as_mut()` is added to
  provide a `Pin<&mut T>`. This is different than normal Rust standand
  library locks.

Keystone2 device tree updates for v6.18

Cosmetic cleanups:
* dt-bindings: Convert ti,keystone to DT schema

Hi Dave and Sima,


Besides the DRM changes, this PR also contains some new DMA & scatterlist
infrastructure (incl. some alloc dependencies), with Nova as a first user.

It also includes a few AsBytes and FromBytes additions needed by Nova.

I merged this cycle's pin-init PR from Benno, since Nova is the first user
taking advantage of the new features included.

There are a couple of conflicts with other trees (Rust, MM, Driver Core, Li=
nus),
but they are mostly around includes and all trivial [1..8] -- no semantic
conflicts.

All changes have been in -next for a couple of rounds; the latest nova-core
series from Alex for one cycle.

Hi Dave and Sima,


Besides the DRM changes, this PR also contains some new DMA & scatterlist
infrastructure (incl. some alloc dependencies), with Nova as a first user.

It also includes a few AsBytes and FromBytes additions needed by Nova.

I merged this cycle's pin-init PR from Benno, since Nova is the first user
taking advantage of the new features included.

There are a couple of conflicts with other trees (Rust, MM, Driver Core, Li=
nus),
but they are mostly around includes and all trivial [1..8] -- no semantic
conflicts.

All changes have been in -next for a couple of rounds; the latest nova-core
series from Alex for one cycle.

Add Qualcomm TEE driver (QTEE)

This introduces a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) driver for
Qualcomm TEE (QTEE).

QTEE enables Trusted Applications (TAs) and services to run securely. It
uses an object-based interface, where each service is an object with
sets of operations.

Kernel and userspace services are also available to QTEE through a
similar approach. QTEE makes callback requests that are converted into
object invocations. These objects can represent services within the
kernel or userspace process.

We extend the TEE subsystem to understand object parameters and an ioctl
call so client can invoke objects in QTEE:
  - TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_ATTR_TYPE_OBJREF_*
  - TEE_IOC_OBJECT_INVOKE

The existing ioctl calls TEE_IOC_SUPPL_RECV and TEE_IOC_SUPPL_SEND are
used for invoking services in the userspace process by QTEE.

The TEE backend driver uses the QTEE Transport Message to communicate
with QTEE. Interactions through the object INVOKE interface are
translated into QTEE messages. Likewise, object invocations from QTEE
for userspace objects are converted into SEND/RECV ioctl calls to
supplicants.

Further ASPEED devicetree updates for v6.18

New platforms:

- Meta Clemente

  Clemente is a compute-tray platform using an AST2600 SoC

Updated platforms:

- Harma (Meta): Hot-swap controller, power monitoring, GPIO names

There are also some devicetree cleanups from Rob and Krzysztof that touch a
variety of platforms and the DTSIs. These lead to fewer warnings emitted fo=
r the
ASPEED devicetrees.

Hi Danilo,

As discussed with Miguel, I'm sending my PR to you this time.

The code changes themselves aren't that big, but functionality-wise
there are three important ones: pin-projections, code blocks and access
to previously initialized fields. More syntax changes will be on the way
for v6.19 and I hope I'll be a bit earlier in that cycle :)

The commits have been in linux-next for one day.

I have a conflict with your devres fix that's in -rc3, the resolution in
linux-next looks good.

TEE protected DMA-bufs for v6.18

- Allocates protected DMA-bufs from a DMA-heap instantiated from the TEE
  subsystem.
- The DMA-heap uses a protected memory pool provided by the backend TEE
  driver, allowing it to choose how to allocate the protected physical
  memory.
- Three use-cases (Secure Video Playback, Trusted UI, and Secure Video
  Recording) have been identified so far to serve as examples of what
  can be expected.
- The use-cases have predefined DMA-heap names,
  "protected,secure-video", "protected,trusted-ui", and
  "protected,secure-video-record". The backend driver registers protected
  memory pools for the use-cases it supports.

Detailed description for this pull request:
- Add support for LPDDR5 for Rockhip RK3588 SoC on rockchip-dfi devfreq driver.

- Fix an issue where DDR cycle counts on RK3588/RK3528 with LPDDR4(X)
  are reported as half by adding a cycle multiplier to the DFI driver
  on rockchip-dfi devfreq-event driver.

- Fix missing error pointer dereference of regulator instance

Samsung DTS ARM changes for v6.18

1. Drop S3C2416 SoC from bindings, because it was removed from kernel
   in 2023.

2. Add Ethernet attached via SROM controller (memory bus) on SMDK5250.
   This wasn't tested, but code should work just like it is working on
   Exynos5410-based boards.

Samsung SoC clock drivers changes for 6.18

1. Tesla FSD: Expose CSI clocks to consumers (DTS).

2. Exynos990:
   - Few fixes for fixed factor clocks, register widths and proper PLL
     parents.
   - Add four more clocks for the DPU and HSI0 clock for USB.
   - Add PERIC0 and PERIC1 clock controllers (CMU), responsible for
     providing clocks to serial engines.

3. Add seven clock controllers for the new Axis ARTPEC-8 SoC.  The SoC
   shares all main blocks, including the clock controllers, with Samsung
   SoC, so same drivers and bindings are used.

4. Cleanups: switch to determine_rate().

Samsung pinctrl drivers changes for v6.18

1. Add pin controller drivers for new Axis ARTPEC-8 SoC.  The SoC shares
   all main blocks, including the pin controller, with Samsung SoC, so
   same drivers and bindings are used.

2. Drop remaining support for Samsung S3C2410 SoC pin controllers.  The
   actual SoC support was removed in January 2023, so this is just
   remaining cleanup.

Hi Greg,

Just two minor improvements.

T-HEAD Devicetrees for v6.18

Add a device tree node for the IMG BXM-4-64 GPU present in the T-HEAD
TH1520 SoC used by the Lichee Pi 4A board. This node enables support for
the GPU using the drm/imagination driver.

By adding this node, the kernel can recognize and initialize the GPU,
providing graphics acceleration capabilities on the Lichee Pi 4A and
other boards based on the TH1520 SoC. The display controller and HDMI
output are still a work in progress.

Also included is a MAINTAINERS patch that adds an entry for the T-Head
SoC patchwork.

T-HEAD clock changes for v6.18

Updates for the T-HEAD TH1520 clock controller:

 - Describe gate clocks with clk_gate so that clock gates can be clock
   parents. This is similar to the mux clock refactor in 54edba916e29
   ("clk: thead: th1520-ap: Describe mux clocks with clk_mux").

 - Add support for enabling/disabling PLLs. Some PLLs are put into a
   disabled state by the bootloader, and clock driver now has the
   ability to enable them.

 - Set all AXI clocks to CLK_IS_CRITICAL. The AXI crossbar of TH1520 has
   no proper timeout handling, which means gating AXI clocks can easily
   lead to bus timeout and hang the system. All these clock gates are
   ungated by default on system reset.

 - Convert all current CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED usage to CLK_IS_CRITICAL to
   prevent unwanted clock gating.

 - Fix parent of padctrl0 clock, fix parent of DPU pixel clocks and
   support changing DPU pixel clock rate.

All changes have been tested in linux-next.

Hi Will, Peter and Mark,

I'm sending this pull request containing Rust atomic changes to tip
tree. You can find the technical details below, but most importantly we
got a new reviewer for ATOMIC INFRASTRUCTURE that can help maintaining
the code. Welcome Gary!

Similar to other pull requests of myself to the tip tree, this pull
request is sent in form as patch series as well, in case that I missed
something and changes are needed in some patch.

Thanks!

Rust atomic changes for v6.18:

- Add initial support for generic LKMM atomic variables in Rust. This
  ensures Rust and C side are using the same memory model when
  communicating with each other, and would unblock a few more
  fine-grained concurrent core on Rust side.

- Add the wrapper for `refcount_t` in Rust. This avoids using customized
  reference counting solution on Rust side (e.g. in `block::mq`).
