 - "mm/damon: optimize out nr_accesses_bp" (SJ Park)

   Replace the error-prone, continuously updated nr_accesses_bp field in
   damon_region with an on-demand moving sum function, reducing
   structure memory overhead and avoiding state corruption bugs

 - "Open HugeTLB allocation routine for more generic use" (Ackerley Tng)

   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.

   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

   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.

   It enforces encapsulation across core structures including
   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

   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.

   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.

 - "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.

   It uses BIT_ULL() to prevent shift-overflow warnings on 64-bit flag
   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.

IIO new device support, features, cleanup for 7.3

Includes a merge of 7.2-rc2 to pick up the changes around
mod_devicetable.h and reduce resulting conflicts around includes.

New device support
------------------

adi,ad3530R
- Add support for the AD3532R and AD3532 16 channel DACs.
adi,ad4080
- Add support for the AD4883 ADC.
adi,ad5686
- Add support for AD5313R, AD5317R, AD5674, AD5687R, AD5689, AD5689R DACs
  over SPI
- Add support for AD5316R, AD5674, AD5697R and AD5696 DACs over I2C
- Significant driver refactoring prior to these additions, partly to reduce
  bus traffic and to add triggered buffer and gain control support. An
  earlier set added support for missing supplies, reset and LDAC GPIO.
adi,adf41513
- New driver to support this PLL frequency synthesizer that runs up to
  26.5 GHz.
- Included infrastructure to handle higher precision attributes with
  extensive tests
adi,ltc2378-20
- New driver supporting LTC2338, LTC2364, LTC2367, LTC2368, LT2369, LTC2370
  LTC2376, LTC2377, LTC2378, LTC2379 and LTC23980 ADCs with both high speed
  capture via appropriate backend and conventional triggered buffer SPI
  capture.
invensense,icm42607
- New driver for this IMU.
mediateck,mt6323
- New driver for this PMIC ADC.
microchip,mcp47a1
- New driver for this I2C 6 bit DAC.
nxp,mcf54415-dac
- New driver for this DAC found in NXP SoCs.
qst,qmc5884l
- New driver for this 3 axis magnetometer. Included dt vendor entry for qst.
qst,qmc6308
- New driver for this 3 axis magnetometer.
sensiron,slf3s
- New driver for this liquid flow sensor. Includes adding IIO_VOLUMEFLOW
  channel type.
st,vl53l1x
- Refactors to improve readability.
ti,ads112c14
- New driver supporting the ADS112C14 and ADS122C14 ADCs. These bring
  some new ABI for input chopping, particular useful for resistive sensors
  like thermocouples or Wheatstone bridges.
- Support CRC8 detection of corruption on the bus.
- Support buffered reads.
ti,tmp117
- (trivial) Add support for the tmp119 temperature sensor.
xilinx,versal-sysmon
- New ADC driver for this block found on various FPGAs including various
  bus interfaces, threshold and oversampling support.

dt binding updates
------------------
new shared bindings
- excitation-channels and excitation-current-nanoamp allow per channel
  specification of currents used for resistive sensor measurement.
- reference-sources property to allow selection of a per channel reference.
rockchip,saradc
- Add RV1106 which is compatible with the RV3588.

Features
--------

buffer-dmaengine
- Allow cyclic buffers, useful for repeating sequence generation with DACs.
devantech,dmard09
- Implement read back of channel scale - previously interface always
  returned an error.
hid,sensors-als
- Enable separate channel scaling for hardware that supports it.
invensense,timestamp library
- Various precision improvements.
invensense,icm42600
- Add support for hwfifo watermark interfaces.
taos,tcs3472
- Support wait time and sampling frequency control.

Cleanups, minor fixes
---------------------

Minor cleanups not mentioned at all in this summary such
as white space fixes or typos.

Affecting various drivers
- Cleanup of conditionals that had no affect.
- Drop some runtime pm local wrappers as now runtime_pm does the
  mark_last_busy part inside the put, these provide no useful code
  deduplication or readability advantages over directly calling the
  runtime_pm functions.
- Return 0 from write_raw() on success.
- Use of dev_err_probe() to simplify code and sometimes provide useful
  info for deferred probe debugging.
- Drop some redundant error prints where the called function already
  provides information on errors.
- Make some read only arrays in functions static.
- Fix up missing handling of regcache_sync() errors.
- Drop some false kernel-doc markings.
- Add missing MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE for some of_match_id tables.
- Use local variables for things like the struct device to shorten and
  improve readability of code.
- Drop some unused structure elements.
- Reorder dds.h macro parameters to be inline with others.
- Header reorders and IWYU. Often part of a more significant series.
- Remove abstractions designed to allow a driver to support multiple device
  types, when they have been around a long time and only the original part
  showed up.
- Initialize spi_device_id arrays using member names following dropping of
  driver data from drivers that didn't actually use it.
- Catch up with i2c_device_id tables added since previous effort to use
  named initializers for all those.
- Use kernel types in a few places instead of standard C ones or bare
  unsigned.

Misc
- Update Xilinx AMS maintainer.
- Update email address for Maxwell Doose.
- Update email address for Siratul Islam.
- Update email address for Tomasz Duszynski and re-add Tomasz to
  various maintainer entries.
Docs
- Encourage use of differential channel naming even when there is no
  flexibility in input to differential pair mapping. Intended to
  provide a strong signal to userspace that a channel is differential.
adi,ad_sigma_delta
- Allow COMPILE_TEST without any users.
adi,ad2s1201
- Refactor trigger handler to avoid mix of guard() and goto.
adi,ad5686
- Avoid potential NULL dereference is user forces a driver bind.
adi,ad5696
- Add a couple of missing entries to the of_match_id table and update
  binding to match.
atmel,ad91_adc
- Use const char * for DT string property allowing a cast to be dropped.
avia,hx711
- Various refactors and cleanup to enable support of additional parts
  (to come)
- Add missing supply and gpio dt-bindings.
bosch,bmc150
- Harden against device reporting too large a FIFO sample count.
- Use FIELD_PREP() / FIELD_GET() to improve readability.
freescale,fxls8962af
- Harden against device reporting too large a FIFO sample count.
hid-sensors-*
- Reorder probe to not expose userspace interfaces until the rest of
  the setup is done to avoid potentially dropping data.
honeywell,abp2030pa
- Drop an unreachable return.
invensens,icm45600
- Harden against bad value of FIFO sample count from device.
- Use i2c_match_data if firmware table sourced match data isn't available.
nxp,mpl1115
- Ensure runtime_pm is balanced on error in probe.
rohm,bm1390
- Make the driver slightly more likely to recover from transient errors.
sensiron,sgp30
- Handle thread creation errors.
st,lsm6dsx
- Update the enable mask when doing sensor fusion to avoid incorrect fifo
  data handling.
st,stm32-dfsdm
- Treat dt flags as booleans.
ti,ads1015
- Switch to devm helpers which simplified code and closed a resource leak.
ti,opt3001
- Split complicated opt3001_get_processed() logic into irq an no irq
  helper functions.
- Use devm to simplify code.
- Use guard() to simplify code.
- Reorder probe so final call exposes userspace interfaces.
- Various other more minor cleanup
taos,tsl2772

IIO new device support, features, cleanup for 7.3

Includes a merge of 7.2-rc2 to pick up the changes around
mod_devicetable.h and reduce resulting conflicts around includes.

New device support
------------------

adi,ad3530R
- Add support for the AD3532R and AD3532 16 channel DACs.
adi,ad4080
- Add support for the AD4883 ADC.
adi,ad5686
- Add support for AD5313R, AD5317R, AD5674, AD5687R, AD5689, AD5689R DACs
  over SPI
- Add support for AD5316R, AD5674, AD5697R and AD5696 DACs over I2C
- Significant driver refactoring prior to these additions, partly to reduce
  bus traffic and to add triggered buffer and gain control support. An
  earlier set added support for missing supplies, reset and LDAC GPIO.
adi,adf41513
- New driver to support this PLL frequency synthesizer that runs up to
  26.5 GHz.
- Included infrastructure to handle higher precision attributes with
  extensive tests
adi,ltc2378-20
- New driver supporting LTC2338, LTC2364, LTC2367, LTC2368, LT2369, LTC2370
  LTC2376, LTC2377, LTC2378, LTC2379 and LTC23980 ADCs with both high speed
  capture via appropriate backend and conventional triggered buffer SPI
  capture.
invensense,icm42607
- New driver for this IMU.
mediateck,mt6323
- New driver for this PMIC ADC.
microchip,mcp47a1
- New driver for this I2C 6 bit DAC.
nxp,mcf54415-dac
- New driver for this DAC found in NXP SoCs.
qst,qmc5884l
- New driver for this 3 axis magnetometer. Included dt vendor entry for qst.
qst,qmc6308
- New driver for this 3 axis magnetometer.
sensiron,slf3s
- New driver for this liquid flow sensor. Includes adding IIO_VOLUMEFLOW
  channel type.
st,vl53l1x
- Refactors to improve readability.
ti,ads112c14
- New driver supporting the ADS112C14 and ADS122C14 ADCs. These bring
  some new ABI for input chopping, particular useful for resistive sensors
  like thermocouples or Wheatstone bridges.
- Support CRC8 detection of corruption on the bus.
- Support buffered reads.
ti,tmp117
- (trivial) Add support for the tmp119 temperature sensor.
xilinx,versal-sysmon
- New ADC driver for this block found on various FPGAs including various
  bus interfaces, threshold and oversampling support.

dt binding updates
------------------
new shared bindings
- excitation-channels and excitation-current-nanoamp allow per channel
  specification of currents used for resistive sensor measurement.
- reference-sources property to allow selection of a per channel reference.
rockchip,saradc
- Add RV1106 which is compatible with the RV3588.

Features
--------

buffer-dmaengine
- Allow cyclic buffers, useful for repeating sequence generation with DACs.
devantech,dmard09
- Implement read back of channel scale - previously interface always
  returned an error.
hid,sensors-als
- Enable separate channel scaling for hardware that supports it.
invensense,timestamp library
- Various precision improvements.
invensense,icm42600
- Add support for hwfifo watermark interfaces.
taos,tcs3472
- Support wait time and sampling frequency control.

Cleanups, minor fixes
---------------------

Minor cleanups not mentioned at all in this summary such
as white space fixes or typos.

Affecting various drivers
- Cleanup of conditionals that had no affect.
- Drop some runtime pm local wrappers as now runtime_pm does the
  mark_last_busy part inside the put, these provide no useful code
  deduplication or readability advantages over directly calling the
  runtime_pm functions.
- Return 0 from write_raw() on success.
- Use of dev_err_probe() to simplify code and sometimes provide useful
  info for deferred probe debugging.
- Drop some redundant error prints where the called function already
  provides information on errors.
- Make some read only arrays in functions static.
- Fix up missing handling of regcache_sync() errors.
- Drop some false kernel-doc markings.
- Add missing MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE for some of_match_id tables.
- Use local variables for things like the struct device to shorten and
  improve readability of code.
- Drop some unused structure elements.
- Reorder dds.h macro parameters to be inline with others.
- Header reorders and IWYU. Often part of a more significant series.
- Remove abstractions designed to allow a driver to support multiple device
  types, when they have been around a long time and only the original part
  showed up.
- Initialize spi_device_id arrays using member names following dropping of
  driver data from drivers that didn't actually use it.
- Catch up with i2c_device_id tables added since previous effort to use
  named initializers for all those.
- Use kernel types in a few places instead of standard C ones or bare
  unsigned.

Misc
- Update Xilinx AMS maintainer.
- Update email address for Maxwell Doose.
- Update email address for Siratul Islam.
- Update email address for Tomasz Duszynski and re-add Tomasz to
  various maintainer entries.
Docs
- Encourage use of differential channel naming even when there is no
  flexibility in input to differential pair mapping. Intended to
  provide a strong signal to userspace that a channel is differential.
adi,ad_sigma_delta
- Allow COMPILE_TEST without any users.
adi,ad2s1201
- Refactor trigger handler to avoid mix of guard() and goto.
adi,ad5686
- Avoid potential NULL dereference is user forces a driver bind.
adi,ad5696
- Add a couple of missing entries to the of_match_id table and update
  binding to match.
atmel,ad91_adc
- Use const char * for DT string property allowing a cast to be dropped.
avia,hx711
- Various refactors and cleanup to enable support of additional parts
  (to come)
- Add missing supply and gpio dt-bindings.
bosch,bmc150
- Harden against device reporting too large a FIFO sample count.
- Use FIELD_PREP() / FIELD_GET() to improve readability.
freescale,fxls8962af
- Harden against device reporting too large a FIFO sample count.
hid-sensors-*
- Reorder probe to not expose userspace interfaces until the rest of
  the setup is done to avoid potentially dropping data.
honeywell,abp2030pa
- Drop an unreachable return.
invensens,icm45600
- Harden against bad value of FIFO sample count from device.
- Use i2c_match_data if firmware table sourced match data isn't available.
nxp,mpl1115
- Ensure runtime_pm is balanced on error in probe.
rohm,bm1390
- Make the driver slightly more likely to recover from transient errors.
sensiron,sgp30
- Handle thread creation errors.
st,lsm6dsx
- Update the enable mask when doing sensor fusion to avoid incorrect fifo
  data handling.
st,stm32-dfsdm
- Treat dt flags as booleans.
ti,ads1015
- Switch to devm helpers which simplified code and closed a resource leak.
ti,opt3001
- Split complicated opt3001_get_processed() logic into irq an no irq
  helper functions.
- Use devm to simplify code.
- Use guard() to simplify code.
- Reorder probe so final call exposes userspace interfaces.
- Various other more minor cleanup
taos,tsl2772
- Fix calibscale readback to check right channel type.
taos,tsl2583
- Use sysfs_emit() and sysfs_emit_at() to replace open coded equivalents.

Pull timer and timekeeping core updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Fix a subtly inconsistency in the timekeeping code, which fails to
   account for the monotonicity adjustment in ntp_error.

   For small changes of the clocksource multiplicator (+/-1) which are
   typically used by the NTP PLL this is hard to observe. But for larger
   adjustments, e.g. caused by a direct frequency setting through
   adjtimex() the one-time uncompensated offset is significant.

   Cure this by adjusting ntp_error with the resulting offset so that
   the discrepancy is smoothed away over time

 - Make tick length calculations correct in NTP.

   The timekeeping core takes the quantisation of the clocksource into
   account when calculating the tick length to compensate for the
   deviation of the nominal NTP_INTERVAL_LENGTH.

   While timekeeping gets this right, NTP is not aware of that, which
   means it operates on the nominal value and not on the actual value
   which is determined by the clock source frequency. The rounding of a
   coarse clocksource like the ACPI PM timer results in a +127 PPM
   deviation.

   Cure this by exposing the deviation to the NTP code so that it can
   operate on the same data as the timekeeping core. This is purely
   kernel internal. User space still sees the nominal tick lenght via
   adjtimex().

 - The accuracy of the NTP adjustments is fairly approximate as the code
   assumes that the invocations are precisely in NTP interval frequency
   ticks and the final adjustment can over and under-run.

   Cure this by adjusting ntp_error by the intended skew on each tick to
   achieve the desired rate.

 - Handle the two competing skews of time offset and time adjustment
   correctly by calculating the conflict portion between the skews and
   adjusting both accordingly.

 - A set of updates and improvements for the selftests

 - The usual small fixes and improvements all over the place

<title>ALSA: hda: Fix connection list comparison in proc output</title>

<id>c139e7e44f58a6f8ddc9d850ea9924d34963b5da</id>
<content type='text'>
print_conn_list() compares the raw hardware connection list with the
connection list cached by the HDA driver.  When they differ, it prints an
additional "In-driver Connection" line so that /proc/asound/card*/codec#*
shows the topology actually used by the driver.

The comparison currently passes conn_len directly to memcmp().  However,
conn_len is a number of connection-list entries, while memcmp() expects a
size in bytes.  Both list and conn are arrays of hda_nid_t, which is u16,
so only half of the connection data is compared.

For example, for two-entry lists such as:

  hardware: 0x0c 0x0d
  cached:   0x0c 0x0e

conn_len is 2, and the current comparison checks only the first hda_nid_t.
The lists are therefore incorrectly treated as identical even though the
second connection differs.

This can happen legitimately when codec fixups replace a cached connection
list with snd_hda_override_conn_list().  The codec routing used by the
driver is not affected, but the proc output can hide the overridden
driver-visible routing and provide misleading topology information during
codec debugging.

Convert the entry count to a byte size so that memcmp() covers the
complete connection list.

ASoC: Updates for v7.3

A very busy release, a combination of a lot of new device work and more
people than usual doing various subsystem wide improvements in the code.
The main subsystem level change is the work Morimoto-san has been doing
to get automatic DAI format selection more widely deployed, and even
that is largely changes in the drivers to enable use of the feature
rather than framework work.

 - Conversions of a lot of drivers to use the automatic DAI format
   selection code from Morimoto-san.
 - Many fixes and code improvements from bui duc phuc and Morimoto-san.
 - Fixes for ordering problems in register default tables from Peter
   Ujfalusi.
 - Changes to use auto-cleanup for firmware to improve robustness from
   Takashi Iwai.
 - Support for firmware on more Awinc devices.
 - Many changes in the Qualcomm driver stack, mostly around new platform
   support.
 - Support for AMD ACP7.B/F, Cirrus Logic CS35L62, Loongson 2K0300,
   Meson GX formatter and interface, Qualcomm LPI MI2S, SM8475 and
   WSA855 and Realtek RT1321 VA1/2 and RT766/7.
