Pull PCI updates from Bjorn Helgaas:
 "Resource management:

   - Add hotplug reservation only once (not at each level of the
     hierarchy) so bridge windows don't grow more than necessary (Ilpo
     Järvinen)

  Driver binding:

   - Rework device matching so device ID lifetime only needs to cover
     the probe path since dynamic IDs can be removed at any time (Gary
     Guo)

  Error handling:

   - Update mappings of AER errors to agent &amp; layer and log them for
     each individual error when multiple errors detected (Lukas Wunner)

   - Log Error Source only once, not twice in separate messages (Lukas
     Wunner)

   - Emit TLP Log only for unmasked errors (Lukas Wunner)

     Chaitanya Chundru)

  Power management:

   - Allow D3 for native hotplug-capable Root Ports on non-x86 platforms
     (we avoid D3 for these ports on x86 because some old platforms
     didn't validate it) (Manivannan Sadhasivam)

   - Allow portdrv to claim Ports even if they don't support services
     (AER, PME, DPC, hotplug, etc) so it can do power management (Brian
     Norris)

  Procfs:

   - Avoid spurious runtime PM wakeup on config space accesses that are
     outside config space and fail before reaching PCI (Krzysztof
     Wilczyński)

   - Warn on user-space writes to kernel-exclusive config space regions,
     as we already do for sysfs (Krzysztof Wilczyński)

   - Check credentials of opener, not reader, for config space reads, as
     we already do for sysfs (Krzysztof Wilczyński)

  Sysfs:

   - In pci_write_legacy_io(), avoid out-of-bounds reads from the user

     the arch doesn't support it, as we do for procfs (Krzysztof
     Wilczyński)

   - Check for LOCKDOWN_PCI_ACCESS for legacy_io and legacy_mem, as we
     do for other config space accessors (Krzysztof Wilczyński)

  Freescale i.MX6 PCIe controller driver:

   - Add imx6 intr/aer/pme interrupt lines for i.MX95 (Richard Zhu)

     the host bridge (Sherry Sun)

   - Fix build issues when PCI_PWRCTRL_GENERIC or PCI_HOST_COMMON is a
     module (Arnd Bergmann)

   - Create pwrctrl devices only once by doing it from imx_pcie_probe()
     instead of imx_pcie_host_init(), which is used during both probe
     and resume (Sherry Sun)

   - Use 'dw_pcie_rp-&gt;skip_pwrctrl_off' to avoid powering off devices
     during suspend to preserve wakeup capability (Sherry Sun)

   - Add runtime PM support for i.MX95 to allow dynamic power management
     when the link is idle (Richard Zhu)

     controllers so the unit address matches the first 'reg' entry
     (Thierry Reding)

   - Add Tegra264 Root Port stanzas to prepare for generic WAKE#

Pull VDSO updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Consolidate the VDSO datastore further and provide support for
   mlock_all() and prefaulting.

 - Provide 32-bit legacy time related functionality only if
   CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME is enabled. The config switch exists,
   but architecture code still exposes the legacy functionality even
   disabled.

   Clean this up by adding the missing guards and validating at build
   time that the VDSO is legacy free if disabled.

 - Consolidate the VDSO related config options in core and drivers,
   which removes some non-sensical dependencies and quite an amount of
   #ifdeffery.

 - Clean up the PAGE_SIZE definition maze

Pull generic entry code updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Make syscall user dispatching configurable

   Not all architectures can makes use of syscall user dispatching.
   Allow them to disable the feature completely.

 - Consolidate stack randomization for the generic entry code and the
   architectures using it.

   Stack randomization on syscall entry was sprinkled throughout the
   architecture specific low level entry code and in some cases at the
   wrong points, e.g. before establishing state, which violates the
   non-instrumentable constraints of that code.

   Clean this up by integrating stack randomization into the generic
   entry code helpers so that it is invoked at the earliest possible
   point right after establishing state and converting all generic entry
   code using architecture over.

 - Clean up the syscall number handling in the generic entry code. It
   works correctly for architectures which have a separate return value
   storage in pt_regs, but fails to distinguish the case where user
   space handed in -1 as syscall number from the case where the entry
   code rejects it by returning -1 to the callers. Aside of that the
   return value functionality of those interfaces is not really
   intuitive.

   Fix this by separating the decision to reject a syscall (user
   dispatch, ptrace, seccomp ...) from the potential modification of the
   syscall number through these mechanisms.

   This solves most of the problems for architectures which do not have
   a separate return value storage in pt_regs except for the case where
   a tracepoint has a BPF script or a probe attached which overwrite
   both the syscall number and the return value. But that's a problem
   which cannot be solved in the generic code, that only can be
   addressed by separating the storage model in the affected
   architectures.

Pull failfs filesystem from Christian Brauner:
 "Add failfs and expose a FD_FAILFS_ROOT sentinel.

  This allows userspace to shed their filesystem state completely. A
  process with its root or working directory in failfs must anchor every
  path lookup at an explicit file descriptor. Absolute paths, absolute
  symlinks and AT_FDCWD-relative lookups simply fail.

  Failfs is the counterpart to nullfs. nullfs says adds a permanently
  empty, immutable directory whose lookups fail with ENOENT but which
  can be opened, read, stat'd and mounted upon. Failfs on the other hand
  fails every operation. The root cannot be opened at all. A single
  instance is mounted during early boot via kern_mount(), which makes it
  logically distinct from every mount namespace.

  This is accompanied by a new fchroot() system call which makes
  chrooting via a file descriptor a first class concept. It's possible
  to chroot into failfs as an unprivileged user provided the task has no

Pull failfs filesystem from Christian Brauner:
 "Add failfs and expose a FD_FAILFS_ROOT sentinel.

  This allows userspace to shed their filesystem state completely. A
  process with its root or working directory in failfs must anchor every
  path lookup at an explicit file descriptor. Absolute paths, absolute
  symlinks and AT_FDCWD-relative lookups simply fail.

  Failfs is the counterpart to nullfs. nullfs says adds a permanently
  empty, immutable directory whose lookups fail with ENOENT but which
  can be opened, read, stat'd and mounted upon. Failfs on the other hand
  fails every operation. The root cannot be opened at all. A single
  instance is mounted during early boot via kern_mount(), which makes it
  logically distinct from every mount namespace.

  This is accompanied by a new fchroot() system call which makes
  chrooting via a file descriptor a first class concept. It's possible
  to chroot into failfs as an unprivileged user provided the task has no
  new privileges set"

PVR value of 0x0f000008 means we are arch v3.2 compliant (i.e.
Power12). This is used by phyp and kvm when booting as a pseries guest
to detect the presence of new Power12 features and to enable the
appropriate hwcap and facility bits.

<title>powerpc/pseries: Limit PVR list to 16 entries for CAS negotiation</title>

<content type='text'>
Current Power system firmware caps the PVR list array size at 16 entries
during CAS (Client Architecture Support) negotiation. Passing more than
capped size to older firmware could cause an undefined behaviour and
breaks compatibility.

Future Power system firmware releases will lift this restriction and
support greater than 16 array entries.

Ensure that when running on Power11 or below hardware, the number
of PVR entries passed during CAS negotiation does not exceed the
firmware-imposed limit of 16.

In prom_send_capabilities(), compute start_index to skip the oldest
leading pvrs[] entries when running on Power11 or below hardware, so
that the pointer passed to ibm,client-architecture-support points to
ibm_architecture_vec.pvrs[start_index], presenting exactly 16 entries to
firmware.

<title>powerpc/64s: Clarify copy_and_flush() cache sync loop comment</title>

The value loaded into r0 in copy_and_flush() represents the number of
8-byte words processed between cache synchronization operations.

The existing comment refers to cache line size, which can make it appear
that the value is a cache line size in bytes rather than a loop count.
Clarify the comment to explain that the loop processes 8 words (64 bytes)
per cache synchronization iteration, and that increasing the value would
skip cache maintenance for intermediate cache lines.

This is a comment-only change with no functional impact.
