[ Upstream commit 84a4bb6548a29326564f0e659fb8064503ecc1c7 ]

Since BT_HS has been remove HCI_AMP controllers no longer has any use so
remove it along with the capability of creating AMP controllers.

Since we no longer need to differentiate between AMP and Primary
controllers, as only HCI_PRIMARY is left, this also remove
hdev-&gt;dev_type altogether.

commit cdcc4e46180df8161f4d2f3c6fd6beaf6990133d upstream.

IPVS configuration paths update destination availability while connection
accounting updates destination overload state. The two independent states
share dest-&gt;flags, so their read-modify-write updates can race and lose one
another.

Keep OVERLOAD in flags, where the preceding patch serializes its updates
with dst_lock, and move AVAILABLE to cflags. This keeps configuration-
controlled availability out of the scheduler hot cacheline until a
scheduler needs to check it. It also prevents availability updates from
clobbering overload state.

The destination status bits are not exposed through the IPVS sockopt or
netlink interfaces, so keep their definitions in the internal IPVS header.

Readers can still observe stale destination state; this does not provide a
cross-field snapshot.

<title>btrfs: declare btrfs_ioctl_search_args_v2::buf as __u8</title>

[ Upstream commit b95181f3929ff98949fa9460ca93eccebbf2d7fc ]

The variable-sized buffer buf in struct btrfs_ioctl_search_args_v2 is
declared as __u64[], but it holds a packed byte stream of search results,
where all offsets into the buffer are in bytes.

Declaring buf as __u64[] makes it easy for user space to write incorrect
pointer arithmetic: adding a byte offset directly to a __u64 pointer
scales the offset by 8, landing at byte position offset*8 instead of
offset.

This recently caused an infinite loop in btrfs-progs: the accessor read
all-zero data from misaddressed items, which fed zeroed search keys back
into the ioctl loop and spun forever. The issue was worked around at the
time by disabling TREE_SEARCH_V2 entirely in btrfs-progs (d73e69824854:
"btrfs-progs: temporarily disable usage of v2 of search tree ioctl").

The kernel side already treats buf as a byte buffer, so change the
declaration to __u8[] to match the actual semantics and prevent similar
misuse in user space. The change is ABI compatible: both the structure size
and alignment are unchanged.

In the next patches, the xfrm core code will be extended to support
new type of offload - packet offload. In that mode, both policy and state
should be specially configured in order to perform whole offloaded data
path.

Full offload takes care of encryption, decryption, encapsulation and
other operations with headers.

As this mode is new for XFRM policy flow, we can "start fresh" with flag
bits and release first and second bit for future use.

<title>ALSA: seq: Add UMP support</title>

[ Upstream commit 46397622a3fa8372b8fda0f04b33d16923b03b1b ]

Starting from this commit, we add the basic support of UMP (Universal
MIDI Packet) events on ALSA sequencer infrastructure.  The biggest
change here is that, for transferring UMP packets that are up to 128
bits, we extend the data payload of ALSA sequencer event record when
the client is declared to support for the new UMP events.

A new event flag bit, SNDRV_SEQ_EVENT_UMP, is defined and it shall be
set for the UMP packet events that have the larger payload of 128
bits, defined as struct snd_seq_ump_event.

For controlling the UMP feature enablement in kernel, a new Kconfig,
CONFIG_SND_SEQ_UMP is introduced.  The extended event for UMP is
available only when this Kconfig item is set.  Similarly, the size of
the internal snd_seq_event_cell also increases (in 4 bytes) when the
Kconfig item is set.  (But the size increase is effective only for
32bit architectures; 64bit archs already have padding there.)
Overall, when CONFIG_SND_SEQ_UMP isn't set, there is no change in the
event and cell, keeping the old sizes.

For applications that want to access the UMP packets, first of all, a
sequencer client has to declare the user-protocol to match with the
latest one via the new SNDRV_SEQ_IOCTL_USER_PVERSION; otherwise it's
treated as if a legacy client without UMP support.

Then the client can switch to the new UMP mode (MIDI 1.0 or MIDI 2.0)
with a new field, midi_version, in snd_seq_client_info.  When switched
to UMP mode (midi_version = 1 or 2), the client can write the UMP
events with SNDRV_SEQ_EVENT_UMP flag.  For reads, the alignment size
is changed from snd_seq_event (28 bytes) to snd_seq_ump_event (32
bytes).  When a UMP sequencer event is delivered to a legacy sequencer
client, it's ignored or handled as an error.

Conceptually, ALSA sequencer client and port correspond to the UMP
Endpoint and Group, respectively; each client may have multiple ports
and each port has the fixed number (16) of channels, total up to 256
channels.

As of this commit, ALSA sequencer core just sends and receives the UMP
events as-is from/to clients.  The automatic conversions between the
legacy events and the new UMP events will be implemented in a later
patch.

Along with this commit, bump the sequencer protocol version to 1.0.3.

[ Upstream commit 786be2b05980a5828e67fc564ad7517e2adbe9bd ]

Since there're 4 bytes padding at the end of struct bpf_prog_info, they
won't be checked by bpf_check_uarg_tail_zero().

pahole -C bpf_prog_info ./vmlinux
struct bpf_prog_info {
	...
	__u32                      attach_btf_obj_id;    /*   220     4 */
	__u32                      attach_btf_id;        /*   224     4 */

	/* size: 232, cachelines: 4, members: 38 */
	/* sum members: 224 */
	/* sum bitfield members: 1 bits, bit holes: 1, sum bit holes: 31 bits */
	/* padding: 4 */
	/* forced alignments: 9 */
	/* last cacheline: 40 bytes */
} __attribute__((__aligned__(8)));

If a future kernel extension adds a new 4-byte field, older userspace
programs allocating this structure on the stack might inadvertently pass
uninitialized stack garbage into the new field, permanently breaking
backward compatibility. -- sashiko [1]

Fix it by changing sizeof(info) to
offsetofend(struct bpf_prog_info, attach_btf_id).

And, add "__u32 :32" to the tail of struct bpf_prog_info.

[ Upstream commit 4916f2e2f3fc9aef289fcd07949301e5c29094c2 ]

Currently, the churn state is printed only in sysfs. Add netlink support
so users could get the state via netlink.

<title>bonding: add support for per-port LACP actor priority</title>

[ Upstream commit 6b6dc81ee7e8ca87c71a533e1d69cf96a4f1e986 ]

Introduce a new netlink attribute 'actor_port_prio' to allow setting
the LACP actor port priority on a per-slave basis. This extends the
existing bonding infrastructure to support more granular control over
LACP negotiations.

The priority value is embedded in LACPDU packets and will be used by
subsequent patches to influence aggregator selection policies.
