Pull char/misc/IIO/etc driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of char, misc, iio, counter, fpga, and other small
  driver subsystems for 7.3-rc1.

  Overall, due to some driver removals we only added a bit more code
  than removed, which was a nice change. Highlights in this merge
  request are:

   - Loads of IIO driver updates and additions

   - binder driver updates (more on that below...)

   - Removal of the SGI XP and GRU drivers as they are not used anymore
     and turn out to be pretty insecure overall

   - Removal of the obsolete ibmasm driver as it's not being used
     anymore

   - Coresight driver updates and additions

   - Mei driver udpates

   - Counter driver updates

   - FPGA driver updates

   - ICC driver updates

   - lots and lots of other tiny driver updates to resolve reported
     issues

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while"

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

     each individual error when multiple errors detected (Lukas Wunner)

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

     (Mohamad Raizudeen)

  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)

  Peer-to-peer DMA:

   - Add Nvidia Vera Rubin to list of platforms that support P2PDMA
     (Leon Romanovsky)

  Freescale i.MX6 PCIe controller driver:

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

     can decide whether to fall back to legacy DT binding with PERST# in
     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)

     running on bare metal, not when running in a VM (Nirmal Patel)

   - Add Nova Lake (NVL) and Dunlow (DNL) Device IDs (Szymon Durawa)

   - Distinguish Tegra264 C0 PCIe controller for internal GPU from C1-C5
     controllers so the unit address matches the first 'reg' entry
     (Thierry Reding)

   - Add Tegra264 Root Port stanzas to prepare for generic WAKE#
     handling (Thierry Reding)

     that only support 32-bit addressing (Marek Vasut)

   - Add Renesas R-Car Gen4 S4/V4H/V4M to the list of GIC600
     integrations that only support 32-bit addressing (Marek Vasut)

  Renesas RZ/G3S PCIe controller driver:

     advantage of the existing debugfs support for silicon debug, error
     injection, and event counters (Brett Zhou)

   - Flush MSI writes from endpoint before unmapping the iATU, as we
     already do for MSI-X writes (Niklas Cassel)

   - Unmap MSI iATU window before mapping MSI-X window, to avoid a

     and handle them (Marek Vasut)

  UltraRISC PCIe controller driver:

   - Add 'core', 'dbi', and 'aux' clocks to DT binding and manage them
     in the driver (Jia Wang)

     though not removable because IRQs can't be safely disposed (Jia
     Wang)

  MicroSemi Switchtec management driver:

   - Add Microchip PCI1008 device ID and include it in NTB DMA alias
     quirk (Logan Gunthorpe)

     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)

     possible to enumerate downstream devices on Intel Arrow Lake-HX
     systems and probably others (Ali Alaei)

   - Pay attention to _OSC negotiation for VMD hierarchy only when
     running on bare metal, not when running in a VM (Nirmal Patel)

   - Add Nova Lake (NVL) and Dunlow (DNL) Device IDs (Szymon Durawa)

   - Add rcar-gen4-pci-host optional 'msi-parent' for GIT ITS (Marek
     Vasut)

   - When MSI is enabled but iMSI-RX is not used, configure AXIINTC to
     allow GIT ITS to handle MSI (Marek Vasut)

     that only support 32-bit addressing (Marek Vasut)

   - Add Renesas R-Car Gen4 S4/V4H/V4M to the list of GIC600
     integrations that only support 32-bit addressing (Marek Vasut)

  Renesas RZ/G3S PCIe controller driver:

     two PCIe controllers, configured either as a single x4 link or two
     independent x2 link controllers (Lad Prabhakar)

  SpacemiT K1 PCIe controller driver:

   - Add missing MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() to generate module alias info for
     OF-based module autoloading (Pengpeng Hou)

     access while power or clocks are disabled (Ali Tariq)

   - Check for runtime PM resume failure to avoid register access while
     power or clocks are disabled (Ali Tariq)

  Synopsys DesignWare PCIe controller driver:

   - Add LECARC PMU IDs to the DWC RAS/DES VSEC list so it can take
     advantage of the existing debugfs support for silicon debug, error
     injection, and event counters (Brett Zhou)

   - Factor pcie_valid_speed() and pci_bus_speed2lnkctl2() out of bwctrl
     so they can be shared by the DWC core (Hans Zhang)

   - Flush MSI writes from endpoint before unmapping the iATU, as we
     already do for MSI-X writes (Niklas Cassel)

   - Unmap MSI iATU window before mapping MSI-X window, to avoid a
     subsequent MSI write using a disabled aperture and losing the
     interrupt (Niklas Cassel)

   - Change endpoint .pre_init() and .init() callbacks to return errors
     and handle them (Marek Vasut)

  UltraRISC PCIe controller driver:

   - Add 'core', 'dbi', and 'aux' clocks to DT binding and manage them
     in the driver (Jia Wang)

   - Use module_platform_driver() since this may be built as a module,
     though not removable because IRQs can't be safely disposed (Jia
     Wang)

  MicroSemi Switchtec management driver:

   - Add Microchip PCI1008 device ID and include it in NTB DMA alias
     quirk (Logan Gunthorpe)

  Miscellaneous:

   - Document how to write PCI Host Controller drivers (Manivannan
     Sadhasivam)

   maintenance efficiency

 - "tools/mm/page_owner_sort: fix filtering and cleanup issues" (Yichong
   Chen)

   Rename is_need() to filter_record() for clearer return semantics, fix
   per-record allocation memory leaks and bound output copies in
   search_pattern() to address an existing buffer issue

 - "memcg: bail out reclaim when memcg is dying" (Jiayuan Chen)

   Mitigate a system-wide stall which occurs when a cgroup is removed
   while one of its memory control files is doing synchronous reclaim

 - "mm/memory-failure: add panic option for unrecoverable pages" (Breno
   Leitao)

   Introduce an opt-in vm.panic_on_unrecoverable_memory_failure sysctl
   that immediately panics the kernel on unrecoverable memory errors in
   kernel-owned pages to preserve error context and prevent delayed,
   silent data corruption

 - "mm/damon: refactor damon_{start,stop,commit}() for simple error
   handling" (SJ Park)

   Refactor the DAMON core API functions to guarantee that all contexts
   are fully stopped when damon_start(), damon_stop(), or damon_commit()
   fail, eliminating the need for complex and error-prone caller-side
   cleanup code

 - "Keep tail page private zero at free and folio split" (Zi Yan)

   Add checks to ensure tail_page-&gt;private is zero when freeing compound
   or high-order pages and when promoting tail pages during large folio
   splits. By validating these fields at free and split time, it allows
   the removal of redundant private field clearing inside
   prep_compound_tail()

 - "mm: drop redundant lru_add_drain in anon folio reuse paths" (Barry
   Song)

   Eliminate redundant lru_add_drain() calls in
   wp_can_reuse_anon_folio() and do_swap_page() to reduce LRU lock
   contention and system overhead

   By validating folio refcounts against the LRU cache before draining
   and removing unnecessary drains in the swap path, it achieves up to a
   30.5% reduction in drain calls during heavy swap workloads

 - "mm: clean up folio LRU and swap declarations" (Jianyue Wu)

   Reorganize folio LRU and swap code by relocating page-cluster state
   to mm/swap_state.c, renaming mm/swap.c to mm/folio.c, and moving
   MM-internal reclaim declarations into mm/internal.h.

 - "userfaultfd: working set tracking for VM guest memory" (Kiryl
   Shutsemau)

   Add userfaultfd support for tracking the working set of VM guest
   memory, so a VMM can identify hot pages and reclaim cold ones to
   tiered or remote storage

 - "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part 2)" (David
   Hildenbrand)

   Remove the remaining pieces of CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE,
   performing some smaller cleanups around freeing of reserved vmemmap
   pages on the way.

 - "mm/damon: update probe hits for runtime parameter commits" (SJ Park)

   Ensure that DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter is properly updated
   when monitoring intervals are changed at runtime, matching the
   behavior of nr_accesses. To achieve this, it refactors and renames
   existing helper functions for shared use, applies the updates to
   probe_hits, and handles edge cases in damon_probe_hits_mvsum() to
   maintain measurement accuracy.

 - "KSM: performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm" (xu xin)

   Resolve a severe KSM reverse-mapping performance bottleneck where
   thousands of split VMAs sharing a single anon_vma cause extended lock
   contention.

   By adding an interval-filtering check during the rmap walk, it
   reduces worst-case anon_vma lock hold times from over 500ms down to
   under 2ms, preventing application freezes and latency spikes under
   memory pressure.

 - "mm: split a couple of headers from internal.h" (Mike Rapoport)

   Split declarations related to mm_init, memblock, vmalloc and sparse
   into new headers

 - "KSM: use linear_page_index in collect_procs_ksm()" (xu xin)

   Apply the interval tree optimization from rmap_walk_ksm() to
   collect_procs_ksm() to avoid iterating over non-matching VMAs during
   KSM memory error handling.

   It hoists loop-invariant address initialization and restricts the
   anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach walk to a targeted page offset range,
   reducing redundant checks and improving lookup efficiency.

 - "selftests/mm: avoid false failures in hugetlb and KSM tests" (Sayali
   Patil)

   Fix issues in the hugetlb and KSM MM selftest categories that can
   report failures when the prerequisites for the tests are not
   satisfied

 - "mm/damon: introduce data attributes only monitoring" (SJ Park)

   Introduce attribute-weighted region management in DAMON, allowing
   users to prioritize specific data attributes (such as page sizes or
   cgroups) over or instead of access monitoring.

   By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely
   disable access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on
   weighted probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for
   attribute-focused workloads.

 - "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for userfaultfd-backed mappings"
   (Stanislav Kinsburskii)

   Extend hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by
   allowing the mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new
   hmm_range_fault_locked() helper.

   By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock
   release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd
   regions while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers.

 - "mm: make VMA page offset handling more consistent" (Lorenzo Stoakes)

   Clean up and standardize how vma-&gt;vm_pgoff is accessed and
   manipulated across file-backed and anonymous mappings in the kernel

   It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(),
   vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while
   renaming rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their
   functionality.

   These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that
   will unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd
   folios.

 - "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" (Usama Arif)

   Address kernel panics and state corruption caused by MM walk
   callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries
   created during HMM migrations

   It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock()
   properly recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present
   THP or a standard migration entry.

 - "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" (Dev Jain)

   Refactor try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb,
   anonymous-lazyfree, and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated

   unmapped area allocation, mm-&gt;def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like
   mlock, mprotect, and mremap.

 - "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" (xu xin)

   Refactor mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify duplicate
   slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM. It also adds code
   documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must
   remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions.

 - "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields" (SJ Park)

   Clean up DAMON core structures by consistently marking internal-only
   fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper direct access
   from outer layers.

   damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to
   interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct
   members.

 - "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races"
   (SJ Park)

   Address potential infinite loops, NULL dereferences, and race
   conditions identified in DAMON

   NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring
   accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races.

 - "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on RT/UP" (Brendan
   Jackman)

   Fix an NMI safety flaw in __free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages
   on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks
   via non-PCP or isolated migration paths.

   It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation
   risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory
   hotplug or large allocation frees.

 - "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent cleanups" (Brendan
   Jackman)

   Clean up and update page allocator nomenclature, documentation, and
   debug assertions.

   It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming
   convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from
   high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete
   VM_BUG_ON() assertions in allocation paths.

 - "mm/mseal: further cleanups" (Lorenzo Stoakes)

   Refactor and simplify the mseal implementation by clarifying API
   boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity.

   It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a
   dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO,
   eliminates mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only
   to current-&gt;mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no
   functional changes intended.

 - "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive
   reclaim" (Ridong Chen)

   Resolve reclaim behavior bugs and clean up function parameters across
   memory reclaim paths

   It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so
   unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page
   cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead
   of collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete
   gfp_mask parameter from __node_reclaim().

 - "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" (Kefeng Wang)

   Clean up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it
   removes the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP
   pages as non-resident.

 - "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants" (Kiryl Shutsemau)

   Two trivial cleanups in the folio split API

 - "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit exec expectation
   bugs" (SJ Park)

   Resolve minor operational and testing bugs in DAMON identified by
   Sashiko. It initializes the damos-&gt;last_applied field to prevent
   occasional efficiency degradation and fixes invalid memory accesses
   in DAMON KUnit tests during test failure handling.

 - "cleanup for stable_page_flags()" (Jinjiang Tu)

   Clean up and refactor stable_page_flags() used by /proc/kpageflags
   without altering functionality.

   bits, converts folio-specific flag checks to standard folio_test_*()
   helpers, and removes redundant CONFIG_PAGE_IDLE_FLAG handling.

 - "Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios" (Dev Jain)

   Extend batched folio unmapping support to file folios within
   userfaultfd write-protect (uffd-wp) VMAs by adding batching
   capabilities to pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed().

   This removes special-case restrictions on uffd-wp VMAs in
   try_to_unmap_one(), significantly simplifying the function's control
   flow and complexity.

 - "mm/early_ioremap: clarify and clean up early_ioremap_reset()"
   (Sang-Heon Jeon)

   Clarify and clean up the architecture-specific usage of
   __late_set_fixmap() and __late_clear_fixmap() after
   early_ioremap_reset()

   It adds explicit documentation regarding when early_ioremap_reset()
   must be called and removes redundant macro definitions and reset
   calls in the RISC-V and ARM64 architectures.

 - "mm: fix reclaim storms in defrag_mode" (Johannes Weiner)

   Address severe performance regressions, swap storms, and spurious
   OOMs caused by vm.defrag_mode=1 under high memory pressure in Meta
   production

   It updates the page allocator slowpath so non-movable allocation
   requests actively trigger direct reclaim and direct compaction at
   pageblock_order scale, allowing them to claim whole pageblocks rather
   than spinning unproductively.

 - "zram: lockmap tweaks" (Sebastian Siewior)

   Optimize and fix lockdep tracking for zram devices by consolidating
   per-entry lockmaps and isolate lock classes across multiple instances

   This reduces memory overhead by replacing per-entry lockdep_map
   instances with a single map per struct zram, and assigns a dynamic
   lock_class_key to each instance to prevent false deadlock reports
   when different zram devices are backed by distinct filesystems.

   will unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd
   folios.

 - "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" (Usama Arif)

   Address kernel panics and state corruption caused by MM walk
   callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries

   Clarify and clean up the architecture-specific usage of
   __late_set_fixmap() and __late_clear_fixmap() after
   early_ioremap_reset()

   It adds explicit documentation regarding when early_ioremap_reset()
   must be called and removes redundant macro definitions and reset
   calls in the RISC-V and ARM64 architectures.

 - "mm: fix reclaim storms in defrag_mode" (Johannes Weiner)

   Address severe performance regressions, swap storms, and spurious
   OOMs caused by vm.defrag_mode=1 under high memory pressure in Meta
   production

   It updates the page allocator slowpath so non-movable allocation
   requests actively trigger direct reclaim and direct compaction at
   pageblock_order scale, allowing them to claim whole pageblocks rather
   than spinning unproductively.

 - "zram: lockmap tweaks" (Sebastian Siewior)

   Optimize and fix lockdep tracking for zram devices by consolidating
   per-entry lockmaps and isolate lock classes across multiple instances

   This reduces memory overhead by replacing per-entry lockdep_map
   instances with a single map per struct zram, and assigns a dynamic
   lock_class_key to each instance to prevent false deadlock reports
   when different zram devices are backed by distinct filesystems.

<title>misc: ibmasm: Remove obsolete IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter driver</title>

<id>c20800490fd7de317aad2773040961202f5555d2</id>
<content type='text'>
The IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter (RSA) and RSA II were out-of-band
management PCI/ISA cards introduced in the early 2000s for ancient
IBM eServer xSeries machines. IBM deprecated the RSA family and
replaced it with the Integrated Management Module (IMM) around 2008.
IBM subsequently sold its x86 server business to Lenovo in 2014, and
modern systems use entirely different BMC architectures.

This hardware has been completely obsolete and out of production for
over 15 years. Surviving physical servers using this specific hardware
would be running ancient 32-bit processors vastly unsuited for modern
kernels.

A review of the recent git history shows that aside from mechanical
treewide VFS API updates, the only recent activities are out-of-bounds
fixes in command_file_write and MFA handling. These fixes address
userspace-triggered security vulnerabilities and fuzzer-discovered
MMIO bugs rather than functional issues reported by active hardware users.

Keeping this obsolete driver in the tree leaves an unnecessary attack
surface and acts as a "fuzzing honeypot", forcing core maintainers to
endlessly review CVEs and OOB fixes for dead hardware, while also paying
a maintenance tax to drag it through modern API refactorings.

Remove the driver entirely.

The Endpoint test driver doesn't need to do anything fancy in its error
handlers; just restore the config space that was saved during probe and
report the correct result. This helps in making sure that the AER recovery
succeeds.

<title>misc: pci_endpoint_test: Fail doorbell test when the trigger IRQ is missed</title>

<id>0a6f72eda328c773324555491e1ad7f0b0153155</id>
<content type='text'>
The doorbell test case was observed to pass even when the Endpoint had
clearly failed to handle the doorbell trigger.

  pci-endpoint-test 0000:01:00.0: Failed to trigger doorbell in endpoint
  ok 23 pcie_ep_doorbell.DOORBELL_TEST

The root cause turned out to be a buggy EPC driver that raised two IRQs
in response to a single ENABLE DOORBELL command. The extra IRQ left
test-&gt;irq_raised.done at a non zero value, so the next
wait_for_completion_timeout() after the writel() that rings the
doorbell returned immediately, before the Endpoint had set
STATUS_DOORBELL_SUCCESS and raised the IRQ that belongs to that write.

The status readback that followed therefore did not yet reflect the
doorbell trigger, and the test logged the failure but did not fail the
test case. Later on, after the doorbell was disabled, the status was
read again and STATUS_DOORBELL_SUCCESS had by then been set by the
Endpoint for the earlier trigger. The final check saw the bit set and
reported the test as passed.

Make the trigger step actually fail the test case when it detects a
problem. Record the failure in a local variable, keep going so that
the doorbell is still disabled and the Endpoint is left in a clean
state, and return the stored error at the end. The disable path still
returns its own error immediately when its wait times out, which is
unchanged.
