[ Upstream commit d237230728c567297f2f98b425d63156ab2ed17f ]

The QAT driver exposes a character device (qat_adf_ctl) with IOCTLs
for device configuration, start, stop, status query and enumeration.
These IOCTLs are not part of any public uAPI header and have no known
in-tree or out-of-tree users. Device lifecycle is already managed via
sysfs.

The ioctl interface also increases the attack surface and is the
subject of a number of bug reports.

Remove the character device, the IOCTL definitions, and the related
data structures (adf_dev_status_info, adf_user_cfg_key_val,
adf_user_cfg_section, adf_user_cfg_ctl_data). Drop the now-unused
adf_cfg_user.h header and strip adf_ctl_drv.c down to the minimal
module_init/module_exit hooks for workqueue, AER, and crypto/compression
algorithm registration.

Clean up leftover dead code that was only reachable from the removed
IOCTL paths: adf_cfg_del_all(), adf_devmgr_verify_id(),
adf_devmgr_get_num_dev(), adf_devmgr_get_dev_by_id(),
adf_get_vf_real_id() and the unused ADF_CFG macros.

Additionally, drop the entry associated to QAT IOCTLs in
ioctl-number.rst.

<title>Remove DECnet support from kernel</title>

DECnet is an obsolete network protocol that receives more attention
from kernel janitors than users. It belongs in computer protocol
history museum not in Linux kernel.

It has been "Orphaned" in kernel since 2010. The iproute2 support
for DECnet was dropped in 5.0 release. The documentation link on
Sourceforge says it is abandoned there as well.

Leave the UAPI alone to keep userspace programs compiling.
This means that there is still an empty neighbour table
for AF_DECNET.

The table of /proc/sys/net entries was updated to match
current directories and reformatted to be alphabetical.

<title>scsi: dpt_i2o: Remove obsolete driver</title>

<content type='text'>
The dpt_i2o driver was fixed to stop using virt_to_bus() in 2008, but it
still has a stale reference in an error handling code path that could never
work. I submitted a patch to fix this reference earlier, but Hannes
Reinecke suggested that removing the driver may be just as good here.

The i2o driver layer was removed in 2015 with commit 4a72a7af462d
("staging: remove i2o subsystem"), but the even older dpt_i2o scsi driver
stayed around.

The last non-cleanup patches I could find were from Miquel van Smoorenburg
and Mark Salyzyn back in 2008, they might know if there is any chance of
the hardware still being used anywhere.

<content type='text'>
Recent Fam19h EPYC server line of processors from AMD support system
management functionality via HSMP (Host System Management Port) interface.

The Host System Management Port (HSMP) is an interface to provide
OS-level software with access to system management functions via a
set of mailbox registers.

More details on the interface can be found in chapter
"7 Host System Management Port (HSMP)" of the following PPR
https://www.amd.com/system/files/TechDocs/55898_B1_pub_0.50.zip

This patch adds new amd_hsmp module under the drivers/platforms/x86/
which creates miscdevice with an IOCTL interface to the user space.
/dev/hsmp is for running the hsmp mailbox commands.
