Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:
- Split dm-bufio's rw_semaphore and rbtree. Offers improvements to
dm-bufio's locking to allow increased concurrent IO -- particularly
for read access for buffers already in dm-bufio's cache.
- Also split dm-bio-prison-v1's spinlock and rbtree with comparable aim
at improving concurrent IO (for the DM thinp target).
- Both the dm-bufio and dm-bio-prison-v1 scaling of the number of locks
and rbtrees used are managed by dm_num_hash_locks(). And the hash
function used by both is dm_hash_locks_index().
- Allow DM targets to require DISCARD, WRITE_ZEROES and SECURE_ERASE to
be split at the target specified boundary (in terms of
max_discard_sectors, max_write_zeroes_sectors and
max_secure_erase_sectors respectively).
- DM verity error handling fix for check_at_most_once on FEC.
- Update DM verity target to emit audit events on verification failure
and more.
- DM core ->io_hints improvements needed in support of new discard
support that is added to the DM "zero" and "error" targets.
- Fix missing kmem_cache_destroy() call in initialization error path of
both the DM integrity and DM clone targets.
- A couple fixes for DM flakey, also add "error_reads" feature.
- Fix DM core's resume to not lock FS when the DM map is NULL;
otherwise initial table load can race with FS mount that takes
superblock's ->s_umount rw_semaphore.
- Various small improvements to both DM core and DM targets.

LoongArch maintains cache coherency in hardware, but when paired with
LS7A chipsets the WUC attribute (Weak-ordered UnCached, which is similar
to WriteCombine) is out of the scope of cache coherency machanism for
PCIe devices (this is a PCIe protocol violation, which may be fixed in
newer chipsets).
This means WUC can only used for write-only memory regions now, so this
option is disabled by default, making WUC silently fallback to SUC for
ioremap(). You can enable this option if the kernel is ensured to run on
hardware without this bug.
Kernel parameter writecombine=on/off can be used to override the Kconfig
option.

Add a text explaining how to quickly build a kernel, as that's something
users will often have to do when they want to report an issue or test
proposed fixes. This is a huge and frightening task for quite a few
users these days, as many rely on pre-compiled kernels and have never
built their own. They find help on quite a few websites explaining the
process in various ways, but those howtos often omit important details
or make things too hard for the 'quickly build just for testing' case
that 'localmodconfig' is really useful for. Hence give users something
at hand to guide them, as that makes it easier for them to help with
testing, debugging, and fixing the kernel.
To keep the complexity at bay, the document explicitly focuses on how to
compile the kernel on commodity distributions running on commodity
hardware. People that deal with less common distributions or hardware
will often know their way around already anyway.
The text describes a few oddities of Arch and Debian that were found by
the author and a few volunteers that tested the described procedure.
There are likely more such quirks that need to be covered as well as a
few things the author will have missed -- but one has to start
somewhere.
The document heavily uses anchors and links to them, which makes things
slightly harder to read in the source form. But the intended target
audience is way more likely to read rendered versions of this text on
pages like docs.kernel.org anyway -- and there those anchors and links
allow easy jumps to the reference section and back, which makes the
document a lot easier to work with for the intended target audience.
Aspects relevant for bisection were left out on purpose, as that is a
related, but in the end different use case. The rough plan is to have a
second document with a similar style to cover bisection. The idea is to
reuse a few bits from this document and link quite often to entries in
the reference section with the help of the anchors in this text.

From ACPI spec below 3 modes for CPPC can be defined:
1. Non autonomous: OS scaling governor specifies operating frequency/
performance level through `Desired Performance` register and platform
follows that.
2. Guided autonomous: OS scaling governor specifies min and max
frequencies/ performance levels through `Minimum Performance` and
`Maximum Performance` register, and platform can autonomously select an
operating frequency in this range.
3. Fully autonomous: OS only hints (via EPP) to platform for the required
energy performance preference for the workload and platform autonomously
scales the frequency.
Currently (1) is supported by amd_pstate as passive mode, and (3) is
implemented by EPP support. This change is to support (2).
In guided autonomous mode the min_perf is based on the input from the
scaling governor. For example, in case of schedutil this value depends

There are only a handful of users of gpio_export() and
related functions.
As these are just wrappers around the modern gpiod_export()
helper, remove the wrappers and open-code the gpio_to_desc
in all callers to shrink the legacy API.

- Return -EIO instead of success when the certificate buffer for SEV
guests is not large enough
- Allow STIPB to be enabled with legacy IBSR. Legacy IBRS is cleared
on return to userspace for performance reasons, but the leaves user

- Removal of several VB1-only deprecated drivers: cpia2, fsl-viu, meye,
stkwebcam, tm6000, vpfe_capture and zr364xx
- saa7146 recovered from staging/deprecated. We opted to give ti a
chance, and, instead of deprecating it, the intention is to write
patches migrating it from VB1 to VB2.
- av7110 returned from staging/deprecated/ to staging/ as we're not
planning on dropping it any time soon
- media controller API has gained experimental support for G_ROUTING
and streams API. No drivers use it right now. We're planning to add
one after -rc1, giving some time to experience the API and eventually
have changes during the next development cycle
- New sensor drivers: imx296, imx415, ov8858
- Atomisp had lots of changes, specially on its sensor's interface,
making atomisp sensor drivers closer to normal sensor drivers

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM:
- Provide a virtual cache topology to the guest to avoid
inconsistencies with migration on heterogenous systems. Non secure
software has no practical need to traverse the caches by set/way in
the first place
- Add support for taking stage-2 access faults in parallel. This was
an accidental omission in the original parallel faults
implementation, but should provide a marginal improvement to
machines w/o FEAT_HAFDBS (such as hardware from the fruit company)
- A preamble to adding support for nested virtualization to KVM,
including vEL2 register state, rudimentary nested exception
handling and masking unsupported features for nested guests
- Fixes to the PSCI relay that avoid an unexpected host SVE trap when
resuming a CPU when running pKVM
- VGIC maintenance interrupt support for the AIC
- Improvements to the arch timer emulation, primarily aimed at
reducing the trap overhead of running nested
- Add CONFIG_USERFAULTFD to the KVM selftests config fragment in the
interest of CI systems
- Avoid VM-wide stop-the-world operations when a vCPU accesses its
own redistributor
- Serialize when toggling CPACR_EL1.SMEN to avoid unexpected
exceptions in the host
- Aesthetic and comment/kerneldoc fixes
- Drop the vestiges of the old Columbia mailing list and add [Oliver]
as co-maintainer
RISC-V:
- Fix wrong usage of PGDIR_SIZE instead of PUD_SIZE
- Correctly place the guest in S-mode after redirecting a trap to the
guest
- Redirect illegal instruction traps to guest
- SBI PMU support for guest
s390:
- Sort out confusion between virtual and physical addresses, which
currently are the same on s390
- A new ioctl that performs cmpxchg on guest memory
- A few fixes
x86:
- Change tdp_mmu to a read-only parameter
- Separate TDP and shadow MMU page fault paths
- Enable Hyper-V invariant TSC control
- Fix a variety of APICv and AVIC bugs, some of them real-world, some
of them affecting architecurally legal but unlikely to happen in
practice
- Mark APIC timer as expired if its in one-shot mode and the count
underflows while the vCPU task was being migrated
- Advertise support for Intel's new fast REP string features
- Fix a double-shootdown issue in the emergency reboot code
- Ensure GIF=1 and disable SVM during an emergency reboot, i.e. give
SVM similar treatment to VMX
- Update Xen's TSC info CPUID sub-leaves as appropriate
- Add support for Hyper-V's extended hypercalls, where "support" at
this point is just forwarding the hypercalls to userspace
- Clean up the kvm->lock vs. kvm->srcu sequences when updating the
PMU and MSR filters
- One-off fixes and cleanups
- Fix and cleanup the range-based TLB flushing code, used when KVM is
running on Hyper-V
- Add support for filtering PMU events using a mask. If userspace
wants to restrict heavily what events the guest can use, it can now
do so without needing an absurd number of filter entries
- Clean up KVM's handling of "PMU MSRs to save", especially when vPMU
support is disabled
- Add PEBS support for Intel Sapphire Rapids
- Fix a mostly benign overflow bug in SEV's
send|receive_update_data()
- Move several SVM-specific flags into vcpu_svm
x86 Intel:
- Handle NMI VM-Exits before leaving the noinstr region
- A few trivial cleanups in the VM-Enter flows
- Stop enabling VMFUNC for L1 purely to document that KVM doesn't
support EPTP switching (or any other VM function) for L1
- Fix a crash when using eVMCS's enlighted MSR bitmaps
Generic:
- Clean up the hardware enable and initialization flow, which was
scattered around multiple arch-specific hooks. Instead, just let
the arch code call into generic code. Both x86 and ARM should
benefit from not having to fight common KVM code's notion of how to
do initialization
- Account allocations in generic kvm_arch_alloc_vm()
- Fix a memory leak if coalesced MMIO unregistration fails
selftests:
- On x86, cache the CPU vendor (AMD vs. Intel) and use the info to
emit the correct hypercall instruction instead of relying on KVM to
patch in VMMCALL
- Use TAP interface for kvm_binary_stats_test and tsc_msrs_test"

Pull PCI updates from Bjorn Helgaas:
"Enumeration:
- Rework portdrv shutdown so it disables interrupts but doesn't
disable bus mastering, which leads to hangs on Loongson LS7A
- Add mechanism to prevent Max_Read_Request_Size (MRRS) increases,
again to avoid hardware issues on Loongson LS7A (and likely other
devices based on DesignWare IP)
- Ignore devices with a firmware (DT or ACPI) node that says the
device is disabled
Resource management:
- Distribute spare resources to unconfigured hotplug bridges at
boot-time (not just when hot-adding such a bridge), which makes
hot-adding devices to docks work better. Tried this in v6.1 but had
to revert for regressions, so try again
- Fix root bus issue that dropped resources that happened to end
at 0, e.g., [bus 00]
PCI device hotplug:
- Remove device locking when marking device as disconnected so this
doesn't have to wait for concurrent driver bind/unbind to complete
- Quirk more Qualcomm bridges that don't fully implement the PCIe
Slot Status 'Command Completed' bit
Power management:
- Account for _S0W of the target bridge in acpi_pci_bridge_d3() so we
don't miss hot-add notifications for USB4 docks, Thunderbolt, etc
Reset:
- Observe delay after reset, e.g., resuming from system sleep,
regardless of whether a bridge can suspend to D3cold at runtime
- Wait for secondary bus to become ready after a bridge reset
Virtualization:
- Avoid FLR on some AMD FCH AHCI adapters where it doesn't work
- Allow independent IOMMU groups for some Wangxun NICs that prevent
peer-to-peer transactions but don't advertise an ACS Capability
Error handling:
- Configure End-to-End-CRC (ECRC) only if Linux owns the AER
Capability
- Remove redundant Device Control Error Reporting Enable in the AER
service driver since this is already done for all devices during
enumeration
ASPM:
- Add pci_enable_link_state() interface to allow drivers to enable
ASPM link state
Endpoint framework:
- Move dra7xx and tegra194 linkup processing from hard IRQ to
threaded IRQ handler
- Add a separate lock for endpoint controller list of endpoint
function drivers to prevent deadlock in callbacks
- Pass events from endpoint controller to endpoint function drivers
via callbacks instead of notifiers
Synopsys DesignWare eDMA controller driver (acked by Vinod):
- Fix CPU vs PCI address issues
- Fix source vs destination address issues
- Fix issues with interleaved transfer semantics
- Fix channel count initialization issue (issue still exists in
several other drivers)
- Clean up and improve debugfs usage so it will work on platforms
with several eDMA devices
Baikal T-1 PCIe controller driver:
- Set a 64-bit DMA mask
Freescale i.MX6 PCIe controller driver:
- Add i.MX8MM, i.MX8MQ, i.MX8MP endpoint mode DT binding and driver
support
Intel VMD host bridge driver:
- Add quirk to configure PCIe ASPM and LTR. This is normally done by
BIOS, and will be for future products
Marvell MVEBU PCIe controller driver:
- Mark this driver as broken in Kconfig since bugs prevent its daily
usage
MediaTek MT7621 PCIe controller driver:
- Delay PHY port initialization to improve boot reliability for ZBT
WE1326, ZBT WF3526-P, and some Netgear models
Qualcomm PCIe controller driver:
- Add MSM8998 DT compatible string
- Unify MSM8996 and MSM8998 clock orderings
- Add SM8350 DT binding and driver support
- Add IPQ8074 Gen3 DT binding and driver support
- Correct qcom,perst-regs in DT binding
- Add qcom_pcie_host_deinit() so the PHY is powered off and
regulators and clocks are disabled on late host-init errors
Socionext UniPhier Pro5 controller driver:
- Clean up uniphier-ep reg, clocks, resets, and their names in DT
binding
Synopsys DesignWare PCIe controller driver:
- Restrict coherent DMA mask to 32 bits for MSI, but allow controller
drivers to set 64-bit streaming DMA mask
- Add eDMA engine support in both Root Port and Endpoint controllers
Miscellaneous:
- Remove MODULE_LICENSE from boolean drivers so they don't look like

Pull xfs updates from Darrick Wong:
"There's a couple of bug fixes, some cleanups for inconsistent variable
names and reduction of struct boxing and unboxing in the logging code.
More work is pending, which will begin reworking allocation group
lifetimes and finally replace confusing indirect calls to the
allocator with actual ... function calls. But I want to let that
experience another week of testing.
Summary:
- Eliminate repeated boxing and unboxing of log item parameters
- Clean up some confusing variable names in the log item code
- Fix a deadlock when doing unwritten extent conversion that causes a
bmbt split when there are sustained memory shortages and the worker
pool runs out of worker threads
- Fix the panic_mask debug knob not being able to trigger on verifier
errors
- Constify kobj_type objects"

Pull ATA updates from Damien Le Moal:
- Small cleanup of the pata_octeon driver to drop a useless platform
callback (Uwe)
- Simplify ata_scsi_cmd_error_handler() code using the fact that
ap->ops->error_handler is NULL most of the time (Wenchao)
- Several patches improving libata error handling. This is in
preparation for supporting the command duration limits (CDL) feature.
The changes allow handling corner cases of ATA NCQ errors which do
not happen with regular drives but will be triggered with CDL drives
(Niklas)
- Simplify the qc_fill_rtf operation (me)
- Improve SCSI command translation for REPORT_SUPPORTED_OPERATION_CODES
command (me)
- Cleanup of libata FUA handling.
This falls short of enabling FUA for ATA drives that support it by
default as there were concerns that old drives would break. The
series however fixes several issues with the FUA support to ensure
that FUA is reported as being supported only for drives that can
handle all possible write cases (NCQ and non-NCQ). A check in the
block layer is also added to ensure that we never see read FUA
commands (current behavior) (me)
- Several patches to move the old PARIDE (parallel port IDE) driver to
libata as pata_parport. Given that this driver also needs protocol
modules, the driver code resides in its own pata_parport directoy
under drivers/ata (Ondrej)
