Commit d2add27cf2b8 ("tpm: Add NULL primary creation") introduced
CONFIG_TCG_TPM2_HMAC. When this option is enabled on ppc64 then the
following message appears in the kernel log due to a missing call to
tpm2_sessions_init().

[    2.654549] tpm tpm0: auth session is not active

Add the missing call to tpm2_session_init() to the ibmvtpm driver to
resolve this issue.

<title>char: xillybus: Check USB endpoints when probing device</title>

Ensure, as the driver probes the device, that all endpoints that the
driver may attempt to access exist and are of the correct type.

All XillyUSB devices must have a Bulk IN and Bulk OUT endpoint at
address 1. This is verified in xillyusb_setup_base_eps().

On top of that, a XillyUSB device may have additional Bulk OUT
endpoints. The information about these endpoints' addresses is deduced
from a data structure (the IDT) that the driver fetches from the device
while probing it. These endpoints are checked in setup_channels().

A XillyUSB device never has more than one IN endpoint, as all data
towards the host is multiplexed in this single Bulk IN endpoint. This is
why setup_channels() only checks OUT endpoints.

As the wakeup work item now runs on a separate workqueue, it needs to be
flushed separately along with flushing the device's workqueue.

Also, move the destroy_workqueue() call to the end of the exit method,
so that deinitialization is done in the opposite order of
initialization.

Triggered by a kref decrement, destroy_workqueue() may be called from
within a work item for destroying its own workqueue. This illegal
situation is averted by adding a module-global workqueue for exclusive
use of the offending work item. Other work items continue to be queued
on per-device workqueues to ensure performance.

Since commit 1fffe7a34c89 ("script: modpost: emit a warning when the
description is missing"), a module without a MODULE_DESCRIPTION() will
result in a warning with make W=1. The following warnings are being
observed in drivers/char when CONFIG_ARCH_NETWINDER is enabled:

WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() in drivers/char/ds1620.o
WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() in drivers/char/nwbutton.o
WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() in drivers/char/nwflash.o

Add the missing invocations of the MODULE_DESCRIPTION() macro.

<title>sysctl: treewide: constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers</title>

const qualify the struct ctl_table argument in the proc_handler function
signatures. This is a prerequisite to moving the static ctl_table
structs into .rodata data which will ensure that proc_handler function
pointers cannot be modified.

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
 "This adds getrandom() support to the vDSO.

  First, it adds a new kind of mapping to mmap(2), MAP_DROPPABLE, which
  lets the kernel zero out pages anytime under memory pressure, which
  enables allocating memory that never gets swapped to disk but also
  doesn't count as being mlocked.

  Then, the vDSO implementation of getrandom() is introduced in a
  generic manner and hooked into random.c.

  Next, this is implemented on x86. (Also, though it's not ready for
  this pull, somebody has begun an arm64 implementation already)

  Finally, two vDSO selftests are added.

  There are also two housekeeping cleanup commits"

 "Here is the "big" set of char/misc and other driver subsystem changes
  for 6.11-rc1. Nothing major in here, just loads of new drivers and
  updates. Included in here are:

   - IIO api updates and new drivers added

   - wait_interruptable_timeout() api cleanups for some drivers

   - MODULE_DESCRIPTION() additions for loads of drivers

   - parport out-of-bounds fix

   - interconnect driver updates and additions

   - mhi driver updates and additions

   - w1 driver fixes

   - binder speedups and fixes

   - eeprom driver updates

   - coresight driver updates

   - counter driver update

   - new misc driver additions

   - other minor api updates

  All of these, EXCEPT for the final Kconfig build fix for 32bit
  systems, have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues.

Pull char / misc and other driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the "big" set of char/misc and other driver subsystem changes
  for 6.11-rc1. Nothing major in here, just loads of new drivers and
  updates. Included in here are:

   - IIO api updates and new drivers added

   - wait_interruptable_timeout() api cleanups for some drivers

   - MODULE_DESCRIPTION() additions for loads of drivers

   - parport out-of-bounds fix

   - interconnect driver updates and additions

   - mhi driver updates and additions

   - w1 driver fixes

   - binder speedups and fixes

   - eeprom driver updates

   - coresight driver updates

   - counter driver update

   - new misc driver additions

   - other minor api updates

  All of these, EXCEPT for the final Kconfig build fix for 32bit
  systems, have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues.
  The Kconfig fixup went in 29 hours ago, so might have missed the
  latest linux-next, but was acked by everyone involved"

<title>random: introduce generic vDSO getrandom() implementation</title>

Provide a generic C vDSO getrandom() implementation, which operates on
an opaque state returned by vgetrandom_alloc() and produces random bytes
the same way as getrandom(). This has the following API signature:

  ssize_t vgetrandom(void *buffer, size_t len, unsigned int flags,
                     void *opaque_state, size_t opaque_len);

The return value and the first three arguments are the same as ordinary
getrandom(), while the last two arguments are a pointer to the opaque
allocated state and its size. Were all five arguments passed to the
getrandom() syscall, nothing different would happen, and the functions
would have the exact same behavior.

The actual vDSO RNG algorithm implemented is the same one implemented by
drivers/char/random.c, using the same fast-erasure techniques as that.
Should the in-kernel implementation change, so too will the vDSO one.

It requires an implementation of ChaCha20 that does not use any stack,
in order to maintain forward secrecy if a multi-threaded program forks
(though this does not account for a similar issue with SA_SIGINFO
copying registers to the stack), so this is left as an
architecture-specific fill-in. Stack-less ChaCha20 is an easy algorithm
to implement on a variety of architectures, so this shouldn't be too
onerous.

Initially, the state is keyless, and so the first call makes a
getrandom() syscall to generate that key, and then uses it for
subsequent calls. By keeping track of a generation counter, it knows
when its key is invalidated and it should fetch a new one using the
syscall. Later, more than just a generation counter might be used.

Since MADV_WIPEONFORK is set on the opaque state, the key and related
state is wiped during a fork(), so secrets don't roll over into new
processes, and the same state doesn't accidentally generate the same
random stream. The generation counter, as well, is always &gt;0, so that
the 0 counter is a useful indication of a fork() or otherwise
uninitialized state.

If the kernel RNG is not yet initialized, then the vDSO always calls the
syscall, because that behavior cannot be emulated in userspace, but
fortunately that state is short lived and only during early boot. If it
has been initialized, then there is no need to inspect the `flags`
argument, because the behavior does not change post-initialization
regardless of the `flags` value.

Since the opaque state passed to it is mutated, vDSO getrandom() is not
reentrant, when used with the same opaque state, which libc should be
mindful of.

The function works over an opaque per-thread state of a particular size,
which must be marked VM_WIPEONFORK, VM_DONTDUMP, VM_NORESERVE, and
VM_DROPPABLE for proper operation. Over time, the nuances of these
allocations may change or grow or even differ based on architectural
features.

The opaque state passed to vDSO getrandom() must be allocated using the
mmap_flags and mmap_prot parameters provided by the vgetrandom_opaque_params
struct, which also contains the size of each state. That struct can be
obtained with a call to vgetrandom(NULL, 0, 0, &amp;params, ~0UL). Then,
libc can call mmap(2) and slice up the returned array into a state per
each thread, while ensuring that no single state straddles a page
boundary. Libc is expected to allocate a chunk of these on first use,
and then dole them out to threads as they're created, allocating more
when needed.

vDSO getrandom() provides the ability for userspace to generate random
bytes quickly and safely, and is intended to be integrated into libc's
thread management. As an illustrative example, the introduced code in
the vdso_test_getrandom self test later in this series might be used to
do the same outside of libc. In a libc the various pthread-isms are
expected to be elided into libc internals.
