Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Scheduler Kconfig space updates:
- Further consolidate configurable preemption modes (Peter Zijlstra)
Reduce the number of architectures that are allowed to offer
PREEMPT_NONE and PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, reducing the number of
preemption models from four to just two: 'full' and 'lazy' on
up-to-date architectures (arm64, loongarch, powerpc, riscv, s390,
x86).
None and voluntary are only available as legacy features on
platforms that don't implement lazy preemption yet, or which don't
even support preemption.
The goal is to eventually remove cond_resched() and voluntary
preemption altogether.
RSEQ based 'scheduler time slice extension' support (Thomas Gleixner
and Peter Zijlstra):
This allows a thread to request a time slice extension when it enters
a critical section to avoid contention on a resource when the thread
is scheduled out inside of the critical section.
- Add fields and constants for time slice extension
- Provide static branch for time slice extensions
- Add statistics for time slice extensions
- Add prctl() to enable time slice extensions
- Implement sys_rseq_slice_yield()
- Implement syscall entry work for time slice extensions
- Implement time slice extension enforcement timer
- Reset slice extension when scheduled
- Implement rseq_grant_slice_extension()
- entry: Hook up rseq time slice extension
- selftests: Implement time slice extension test
- Allow registering RSEQ with slice extension
- Move slice_ext_nsec to debugfs
- Lower default slice extension
- selftests/rseq: Add rseq slice histogram script
Scheduler performance/scalability improvements:
- Update rq->avg_idle when a task is moved to an idle CPU, which
improves the scalability of various workloads (Shubhang Kaushik)
- Reorder fields in 'struct rq' for better caching (Blake Jones)
- Fair scheduler SMP NOHZ balancing code speedups (Shrikanth Hegde):
- Move checking for nohz cpus after time check
- Change likelyhood of nohz.nr_cpus
- Remove nohz.nr_cpus and use weight of cpumask instead
- Avoid false sharing for sched_clock_irqtime (Wangyang Guo)
- Cleanups (Yury Norov):
- Drop useless cpumask_empty() in find_energy_efficient_cpu()
- Simplify task_numa_find_cpu()
- Use cpumask_weight_and() in sched_balance_find_dst_group()
DL scheduler updates:
- Add a deadline server for sched_ext tasks (by Andrea Righi and Joel
Fernandes, with fixes by Peter Zijlstra)
RT scheduler updates:
- Skip currently executing CPU in rto_next_cpu() (Chen Jinghuang)

- <linux/compiler_types.h>: Add the __signed_scalar_typeof() helper
Fair scheduler updates/refactoring (Peter Zijlstra and Ingo Molnar):
- Fold the sched_avg update
- Change rcu_dereference_check_sched_domain() to rcu-sched
- Switch to rcu_dereference_all()
- Remove superfluous rcu_read_lock()
- Limit hrtick work
- Join two #ifdef CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED blocks
- Clean up comments in 'struct cfs_rq'
- Separate se->vlag from se->vprot

- Rename cfs_rq::avg_vruntime to ::sum_w_vruntime & helper functions
- Introduce and use the vruntime_cmp() and vruntime_op() wrappers for

Add errata section with code examples for querying errata and a warning
that most applications should not check errata. Use kernel-doc directives
to include errata descriptions from the header files instead of manual
links.
Also enhance existing DOC sections in security/landlock/errata/abi-*.h
files with Impact sections, and update the code comment in syscalls.c
to remind developers to update errata documentation when applicable.
This addresses the gap where the kernel implements errata tracking
but provides no user-facing documentation on how to use it, while
improving the existing technical documentation in-place rather than
duplicating it.

Add backwards compatibility handling for the restrict flags introduced

are passed to landlock_restrict_self() rather than being part of the

stated it "only allow[s] reading" when the code actually allows both
reading and executing (LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_EXECUTE is included in

Address Space IDs allows the VDUSE framework to support devices able to
expose different virtqueues to different part of the drivers. For
example, to let QEMU handle the net device control virtqueue, so QEMU
always knows the state of the device like mac address or number of
queues enabled, while leaving the dataplane passthrough to the guest
intact. This enables live migration.
Expands the VDUSE documentation to explain how to use the new ioctls or
the new struct members of old ioctls.

The root document usually has a special :ref:`genindex` link to the
generated index. This is also the case for Documentation/index.rst. The
other index.rst files deeper in the directory hierarchy usually don't.
For SPHINXDIRS builds, the root document isn't Documentation/index.rst,
but some other index.rst in the hierarchy. Currently they have a
".. only::" block to add the index link when doing SPHINXDIRS html
builds.
This is obviously very tedious and repetitive. The link is also added to
all index.rst files in the hierarchy for SPHINXDIRS builds, not just the
root document.
Put the boilerplate in a sphinx-includes/subproject-index.rst file, and
include it at the end of the root document for subproject builds in an
ad-hoc source-read extension defined in conf.py.
For now, keep having the boilerplate in translations, because this
approach currently doesn't cover translated index link headers.

Some hardware (e.g.: Rockchip's rk3588 hevc decoder) need to fully parse
the slice header, which cannot be passed with the current controls.
There is also no skip method similar as to what can be found in
verisilicon HW.
The SPS is therefore extended through these 2 new controls, providing the
long and short term reference information from the slice header for HEVC
decoding.
These now controls are similar as what is passed in the Vulkan Video API
with the StdVideoH265ShortTermRefPicSet and StdVideoH265LongTermRefPicsSps
structures embedded in the SPS struct.

If you force-disable mitigations on the kernel cmdline, for SPEC_STORE_BYPASS
this ends up with the prctl returning -ENXIO, but contrary to the current docs
for the other controls it returns -EPERM. Fix that.
Note that this return value should probably be considered a bug. But, making
the behaviour consistent with the current docs seems more likely to break
existing users than help anyone out in practice, so just "fix" it by
specifying it as correct.
Since this is getting more wordy and confusing, also be more explicit about
"control is not possible" be mentioning the boot configuration, to better
distinguish this case conceptually from the FORCE_DISABLE failure mode.

is a major new feature targeted at cloud environments. Quoting the
cover letter:
This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel
subsystem designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a
kexec-based reboot. This capability is critical for cloud
environments, allowing hypervisors to be updated with minimal
downtime for running virtual machines. LUO achieves this by
preserving the state of selected resources, such as memory,
devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition.
As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving
memfd file descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such
as guest RAM or any other large memory region, to be maintained in
RAM across the kexec reboot.

testing work.

Pull drm updates from Dave Airlie:
"There was a rather late merge of a new color pipeline feature, that
some userspace projects are blocked on, and has seen a lot of work in
amdgpu. This should have seen some time in -next. There is additional

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"This has been another busy cycle for documentation, with a lot of
build-system thrashing. That work should slow down from here on out.
- The various scripts and tools for documentation were spread out in
several directories; now they are (almost) all coalesced under
tools/docs/. The holdout is the kernel-doc script, which cannot be
easily moved without some further thought.
- As the amount of Python code increases, we are accumulating modules
that are imported by multiple programs. These modules have been
pulled together under tools/lib/python/ -- at least, for
documentation-related programs. There is other Python code in the
tree that might eventually want to move toward this organization.
- The Perl kernel-doc.pl script has been removed. It is no longer
used by default, and nobody has missed it, least of all anybody who
actually had to look at it.
- The docs build was controlled by a complex mess of makefilese that
few dared to touch. Mauro has moved that logic into a new program
(tools/docs/sphinx-build-wrapper) that, with any luck at all, will
be far easier to understand and maintain.
- The get_feat.pl program, used to access information under
Documentation/features/, has been rewritten in Python, bringing an
end to the use of Perl in the docs subsystem.
- The top-level README file has been reorganized into a more
reader-friendly presentation.
- A lot of Chinese translation additions
- Typo fixes and documentation updates as usual"

Aside from the main CMA region, it can be useful to allow userspace to
allocate from the other CMA reserved regions.
Indeed, those regions can have specific properties that can be useful to
a specific us-case.
For example, one of them platform I've been with has ECC enabled on the
entire memory but for a specific region. Using that region to allocate
framebuffers can be particular beneficial because enabling the ECC has a
performance and memory footprint cost.
Thus, exposing these regions as heaps user-space can allocate from and
import wherever needed allows to cover that use-case.
For now, only shared-dma-pools regions with the reusable property (ie,
backed by CMA) are supported, but eventually we'll want to support other
DMA pools types.
Since we collected all the CMA regions created during boot, we can
simply iterate over all of them to create the heaps.
This has a weird interaction with the recent work on the CMA name, in
particular the backward compatibility code created by commit
854acbe75f ("dma-buf: heaps: Give default CMA heap a fixed name").
Indeed, the old name was either 'reserved', or the name of the
reserved-memory region device tree node if the linux,cma-default
property was set.
In both these cases, we have now collected this region during boot, and
we're using the same name. So we're now largely redundant with the
code to handle backward compatibility code, and we can thus remove it
and the associated Kconfig option.

Since we're going to introduce multiple instances of the CMA heap
driver, there's no single CMA heap anymore.
Let's use the heap name instead to differentiate between all the heaps
available in the system.
While we're at it, let's also rework the backward compatibility part to
make it easier to amend later on.
