<id>1746db26f85e4f4b3dd11d7b55f4eff4b0423884</id>

Pull PCI updates from Bjorn Helgaas:
 "Enumeration:

   - Make pci_stop_dev() and pci_destroy_dev() safe so concurrent
     callers can't stop a device multiple times, even as we migrate from
     the global pci_rescan_remove_lock to finer-grained locking (Keith
     Busch)

   - Improve pci_walk_bus() implementation by making it recursive and
     moving locking up to avoid need for a 'locked' parameter (Keith
     Busch)

   - Unexport pci_walk_bus_locked(), which is only used internally by
     the PCI core (Keith Busch)

   - Detect some Thunderbolt chips that are built-in and hence
     'trustworthy' by a heuristic since the 'ExternalFacingPort' and
     'usb4-host-interface' ACPI properties are not quite enough (Esther
     Shimanovich)

  Resource management:

   - Use PCI bus addresses (not CPU addresses) in 'ranges' properties
     when building dynamic DT nodes so systems where PCI and CPU
     addresses differ work correctly (Andrea della Porta)

   - Tidy resource sizing and assignment with helpers to reduce
     redundancy (Ilpo Järvinen)

   - Improve pdev_sort_resources() 'bogus alignment' warning to be more
     specific (Ilpo Järvinen)

  Driver binding:

   - Convert driver .remove_new() callbacks to .remove() again to finish
     the conversion from returning 'int' to being 'void' (Sergio
     Paracuellos)

   - Export pcim_request_all_regions(), a managed interface to request
     all BARs (Philipp Stanner)

   - Replace pcim_iomap_regions_request_all() with
     pcim_request_all_regions(), and pcim_iomap_table()[n] with
     pcim_iomap(n), in the following drivers: ahci, crypto qat, crypto
     octeontx2, intel_th, iwlwifi, ntb idt, serial rp2, ALSA korg1212
     (Philipp Stanner)

   - Remove the now unused pcim_iomap_regions_request_all() (Philipp
     Stanner)

   - Export pcim_iounmap_region(), a managed interface to unmap and
     release a PCI BAR (Philipp Stanner)

   - Replace pcim_iomap_regions(mask) with pcim_iomap_region(n), and
     pcim_iounmap_regions(mask) with pcim_iounmap_region(n), in the
     following drivers: fpga dfl-pci, block mtip32xx, gpio-merrifield,
     cavium (Philipp Stanner)

  Error handling:

   - Add sysfs 'reset_subordinate' to reset the entire hierarchy below a
     bridge; previously Secondary Bus Reset could only be used when
     there was a single device below a bridge (Keith Busch)

   - Warn if we reset a running device where the driver didn't register
     pci_error_handlers notification callbacks (Keith Busch)

  ASPM:

   - Disable ASPM L1 before touching L1 PM Substates to follow the spec
     closer and avoid a CPU load timeout on some platforms (Ajay
     Agarwal)

   - Set devices below Intel VMD to D0 before enabling ASPM L1 Substates
     as required per spec for all L1 Substates changes (Jian-Hong Pan)

  Power management:

   - Enable starfive controller runtime PM before probing host bridge
     (Mayank Rana)

   - Enable runtime power management for host bridges (Krishna chaitanya
     chundru)

  Power control:

   - Use of_platform_device_create() instead of of_platform_populate()
     to create pwrctl platform devices so we can control it based on the
     child nodes (Manivannan Sadhasivam)

   - Create pwrctrl platform devices only if there's a relevant power
     supply property (Manivannan Sadhasivam)

   - Add device link from the pwrctl supplier to the PCI dev to ensure
     pwrctl drivers are probed before the PCI dev driver; this avoids a
     race where pwrctl could change device power state while the PCI
     driver was active (Manivannan Sadhasivam)

   - Find pwrctl device for removal with of_find_device_by_node()
     instead of searching all children of the parent (Manivannan
     Sadhasivam)

   - Rename 'pwrctl' to 'pwrctrl' to match new bandwidth controller
     ('bwctrl') and hotplug files (Bjorn Helgaas)

  Bandwidth control:

   - Add read/modify/write locking for Link Control 2, which is used to
     manage Link speed (Ilpo Järvinen)

   - Extract Link Bandwidth Management Status check into
     pcie_lbms_seen(), where it can be shared between the bandwidth
     controller and quirks that use it to help retrain failed links
     (Ilpo Järvinen)

   - Re-add Link Bandwidth notification support with updates to address
     the reasons it was previously reverted (Alexandru Gagniuc, Ilpo
     Järvinen)

   - Add pcie_set_target_speed() and related functionality so drivers
     can manage PCIe Link speed based on thermal or other constraints
     (Ilpo Järvinen)

   - Add a thermal cooling driver to throttle PCIe Links via the
     existing thermal management framework (Ilpo Järvinen)

   - Add a userspace selftest for the PCIe bandwidth controller (Ilpo
     Järvinen)

  PCI device hotplug:

   - Add hotplug controller driver for Marvell OCTEON multi-function
     device where function 0 has a management console interface to
     enable/disable and provision various personalities for the other
     functions (Shijith Thotton)

   - Retain a reference to the pci_bus for the lifetime of a pci_slot to
     avoid a use-after-free when the thunderbolt driver resets USB4 host
     routers on boot, causing hotplug remove/add of downstream docks or
     other devices (Lukas Wunner)

   - Remove unused cpcihp struct cpci_hp_controller_ops.hardware_test
     (Guilherme Giacomo Simoes)

   - Remove unused cpqphp struct ctrl_dbg.ctrl (Christophe JAILLET)

   - Use pci_bus_read_dev_vendor_id() instead of hand-coded presence
     detection in cpqphp (Ilpo Järvinen)

   - Simplify cpqphp enumeration, which is already simple-minded and
     doesn't handle devices below hot-added bridges (Ilpo Järvinen)

  Virtualization:

   - Add ACS quirk for Wangxun FF5xxx NICs, which don't advertise an ACS
     capability but do isolate functions as though PCI_ACS_RR and
     PCI_ACS_CR were set, so the functions can be in independent IOMMU
     groups (Mengyuan Lou)

  TLP Processing Hints (TPH):

   - Add and document TLP Processing Hints (TPH) support so drivers can
     enable and disable TPH and the kernel can save/restore TPH
     configuration (Wei Huang)

   - Add TPH Steering Tag support so drivers can retrieve Steering Tag
     values associated with specific CPUs via an ACPI _DSM to improve
     performance by directing DMA writes closer to their consumers (Wei
     Huang)

  Data Object Exchange (DOE):

   - Wait up to 1 second for DOE Busy bit to clear before writing a
     request to the mailbox to avoid failures if the mailbox is still
     busy from a previous transfer (Gregory Price)

  Endpoint framework:

   - Skip attempts to allocate from endpoint controller memory window if
     the requested size is larger than the window (Damien Le Moal)

   - Add and document pci_epc_mem_map() and pci_epc_mem_unmap() to
     handle controller-specific size and alignment constraints, and add
     test cases to the endpoint test driver (Damien Le Moal)

   - Implement dwc pci_epc_ops.align_addr() so pci_epc_mem_map() can
     observe DWC-specific alignment requirements (Damien Le Moal)

   - Synchronously cancel command handler work in endpoint test before
     cleaning up DMA and BARs (Damien Le Moal)

   - Respect endpoint page size in dw_pcie_ep_align_addr() (Niklas
     Cassel)

   - Use dw_pcie_ep_align_addr() in dw_pcie_ep_raise_msi_irq() and
     dw_pcie_ep_raise_msix_irq() instead of open coding the equivalent
     (Niklas Cassel)

   - Avoid NULL dereference if Modem Host Interface Endpoint lacks
     'mmio' DT property (Zhongqiu Han)

   - Release PCI domain ID of Endpoint controller parent (not controller
     itself) and before unregistering the controller, to avoid
     use-after-free (Zijun Hu)

   - Clear secondary (not primary) EPC in pci_epc_remove_epf() when
     removing the secondary controller associated with an NTB (Zijun Hu)

  Cadence PCIe controller driver:

   - Lower severity of 'phy-names' message (Bartosz Wawrzyniak)

  Freescale i.MX6 PCIe controller driver:

   - Fix suspend/resume support on i.MX6QDL, which has a hardware
     erratum that prevents use of L2 (Stefan Eichenberger)

  Intel VMD host bridge driver:

   - Add 0xb60b and 0xb06f Device IDs for client SKUs (Nirmal Patel)

  MediaTek PCIe Gen3 controller driver:

   - Update mediatek-gen3 DT binding to require the exact number of
     clocks for each SoC (Fei Shao)

   - Add support for DT 'max-link-speed' and 'num-lanes' properties to
     restrict the link speed and width (AngeloGioacchino Del Regno)

  Microchip PolarFlare PCIe controller driver:

   - Add DT and driver support for using either of the two PolarFire
     Root Ports (Conor Dooley)

  NVIDIA Tegra194 PCIe controller driver:

   - Move endpoint controller cleanups that depend on refclk from the
     host to the notifier that tells us the host has deasserted PERST#,
     when refclk should be valid (Manivannan Sadhasivam)

  Qualcomm PCIe controller driver:

   - Add qcom SAR2130P DT binding with an additional clock (Dmitry
     Baryshkov)

   - Enable MSI interrupts if 'global' IRQ is supported, since a
     previous commit unintentionally masked them (Manivannan Sadhasivam)

   - Move endpoint controller cleanups that depend on refclk from the
     host to the notifier that tells us the host has deasserted PERST#,
     when refclk should be valid (Manivannan Sadhasivam)

   - Add DT binding and driver support for IPQ9574, with Synopsys IP
     v5.80a and Qcom IP 1.27.0 (devi priya)

   - Move the OPP "operating-points-v2" table from the
     qcom,pcie-sm8450.yaml DT binding to qcom,pcie-common.yaml, where it
     can be used by other Qcom platforms (Qiang Yu)

   - Add 'global' SPI interrupt for events like link-up, link-down to
     qcom,pcie-x1e80100 DT binding so we can start enumeration when the
     link comes up (Qiang Yu)

   - Disable ASPM L0s for qcom,pcie-x1e80100 since the PHY is not tuned
     to support this (Qiang Yu)

   - Add ops_1_21_0 for SC8280X family SoC, which doesn't use the
     'iommu-map' DT property and doesn't need BDF-to-SID translation
     (Qiang Yu)

  Rockchip PCIe controller driver:

   - Define ROCKCHIP_PCIE_AT_SIZE_ALIGN to replace magic 256 endpoint
     .align value (Damien Le Moal)

   - When unmapping an endpoint window, compute the region index instead
     of searching for it, and verify that the address was mapped (Damien
     Le Moal)

   - When mapping an endpoint window, verify that the address hasn't
     been mapped already (Damien Le Moal)

   - Implement pci_epc_ops.align_addr() for rockchip-ep (Damien Le Moal)

   - Fix MSI IRQ data mapping to observe the alignment constraint, which
     fixes intermittent page faults in memcpy_toio() and memcpy_fromio()
     (Damien Le Moal)

   - Rename rockchip_pcie_parse_ep_dt() to
     rockchip_pcie_ep_get_resources() for consistency with similar DT
     interfaces (Damien Le Moal)

   - Skip the unnecessary link train in rockchip_pcie_ep_probe() and do
     it only in the endpoint start operation (Damien Le Moal)

   - Implement pci_epc_ops.stop_link() to disable link training and
     controller configuration (Damien Le Moal)

   - Attempt link training at 5 GT/s when both partners support it
     (Damien Le Moal)

   - Add a handler for PERST# signal so we can detect host-initiated
     resets and start link training after PERST# is deasserted (Damien
     Le Moal)

  Synopsys DesignWare PCIe controller driver:

   - Clear outbound address on unmap so dw_pcie_find_index() won't match
     an ATU index that was already unmapped (Damien Le Moal)

   - Use of_property_present() instead of of_property_read_bool() when
     testing for presence of non-boolean DT properties (Rob Herring)

   - Advertise 1MB size if endpoint supports Resizable BARs, which was
     inadvertently lost in v6.11 (Niklas Cassel)

  TI J721E PCIe driver:

   - Add PCIe support for J722S SoC (Siddharth Vadapalli)

   - Delay PCIE_T_PVPERL_MS (100 ms), not just PCIE_T_PERST_CLK_US (100
     us), before deasserting PERST# to ensure power and refclk are
     stable (Siddharth Vadapalli)

  TI Keystone PCIe controller driver:

   - Set the 'ti,keystone-pcie' mode so v3.65a devices work in Root
     Complex mode (Kishon Vijay Abraham I)

   - Try to avoid unrecoverable SError for attempts to issue config
     transactions when the link is down; this is racy but the best we
     can do (Kishon Vijay Abraham I)

  Miscellaneous:

   - Reorganize kerneldoc parameter names to match order in function
     signature (Julia Lawall)

   - Fix sysfs reset_method_store() memory leak (Todd Kjos)

   - Simplify pci_create_slot() (Ilpo Järvinen)

   - Fix incorrect printf format specifiers in pcitest (Luo Yifan)"

  Virtualization:

   - Add ACS quirk for Wangxun FF5xxx NICs, which don't advertise an ACS
     capability but do isolate functions as though PCI_ACS_RR and
     PCI_ACS_CR were set, so the functions can be in independent IOMMU
     groups (Mengyuan Lou)

     dw_pcie_ep_raise_msix_irq() instead of open coding the equivalent
     (Niklas Cassel)

   - Avoid NULL dereference if Modem Host Interface Endpoint lacks
     'mmio' DT property (Zhongqiu Han)

  Qualcomm PCIe controller driver:

   - Add qcom SAR2130P DT binding with an additional clock (Dmitry
     Baryshkov)

  Rockchip PCIe controller driver:

   - Define ROCKCHIP_PCIE_AT_SIZE_ALIGN to replace magic 256 endpoint
     .align value (Damien Le Moal)

   - Use of_property_present() instead of of_property_read_bool() when
     testing for presence of non-boolean DT properties (Rob Herring)

     inadvertently lost in v6.11 (Niklas Cassel)

  TI J721E PCIe driver:

   - Add PCIe support for J722S SoC (Siddharth Vadapalli)

   - Delay PCIE_T_PVPERL_MS (100 ms), not just PCIE_T_PERST_CLK_US (100

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "The most significant set of changes is the per netns RTNL. The new
  behavior is disabled by default, regression risk should be contained.

  Notably the new config knob PTP_1588_CLOCK_VMCLOCK will inherit its
  default value from PTP_1588_CLOCK_KVM, as the first is intended to be
  a more reliable replacement for the latter.

  Core:

   - Started a very large, in-progress, effort to make the RTNL lock
     scope per network-namespace, thus reducing the lock contention
     significantly in the containerized use-case, comprising:
       - RCU-ified some relevant slices of the FIB control path
       - introduce basic per netns locking helpers
       - namespacified the IPv4 address hash table
       - remove rtnl_register{,_module}() in favour of
         rtnl_register_many()
       - refactor rtnl_{new,del,set}link() moving as much validation as
         possible out of RTNL lock
       - convert all phonet doit() and dumpit() handlers to RCU
       - convert IPv4 addresses manipulation to per-netns RTNL
       - convert virtual interface creation to per-netns RTNL
     the per-netns lock infrastructure is guarded by the
     CONFIG_DEBUG_NET_SMALL_RTNL knob, disabled by default ad interim.

   - Introduce NAPI suspension, to efficiently switching between busy
     polling (NAPI processing suspended) and normal processing.

   - Migrate the IPv4 routing input, output and control path from direct
     ToS usage to DSCP macros. This is a work in progress to make ECN
     handling consistent and reliable.

   - Add drop reasons support to the IPv4 rotue input path, allowing
     better introspection in case of packets drop.

   - Make FIB seqnum lockless, dropping RTNL protection for read access.

   - Make inet{,v6} addresses hashing less predicable.

   - Allow providing timestamp OPT_ID via cmsg, to correlate TX packets
     and timestamps

  Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

   - Add small file operations for debugfs, to reduce the struct ops
     size.

   - Refactoring and optimization for the implementation of page_frag
     API, This is a preparatory work to consolidate the page_frag
     implementation.

  Netfilter:

   - Optimize set element transactions to reduce memory consumption

   - Extended netlink error reporting for attribute parser failure.

   - Make legacy xtables configs user selectable, giving users the
     option to configure iptables without enabling any other config.

   - Address a lot of false-positive RCU issues, pointed by recent CI
     improvements.

  BPF:

   - Put xsk sockets on a struct diet and add various cleanups. Overall,
     this helps to bump performance by 12% for some workloads.

   - Extend BPF selftests to increase coverage of XDP features in
     combination with BPF cpumap.

   - Optimize and homogenize bpf_csum_diff helper for all archs and also
     add a batch of new BPF selftests for it.

   - Extend netkit with an option to delegate skb-&gt;{mark,priority}
     scrubbing to its BPF program.

   - Make the bpf_get_netns_cookie() helper available also to tc(x) BPF
     programs.

  Protocols:

   - Introduces 4-tuple hash for connected udp sockets, speeding-up
     significantly connected sockets lookup.

   - Add a fastpath for some TCP timers that usually expires after
     close, the socket lock contention.

   - Add inbound and outbound xfrm state caches to speed up state
     lookups.

   - Avoid sending MPTCP advertisements on stale subflows, reducing
     risks on loosing them.

   - Make neighbours table flushing more scalable, maintaining per
     device neigh lists.

  Driver API:

   - Introduce a unified interface to configure transmission H/W
     shaping, and expose it to user-space via generic-netlink.

   - Add support for per-NAPI config via netlink. This makes napi
     configuration persistent across queues removal and re-creation.
     Requires driver updates, currently supported drivers are:
     nVidia/Mellanox mlx4 and mlx5, Broadcom brcm and Intel ice.

   - Add ethtool support for writing SFP / PHY firmware blocks.

   - Track RSS context allocation from ethtool core.

   - Implement support for mirroring to DSA CPU port, via TC mirror
     offload.

   - Consolidate FDB updates notification, to avoid duplicates on
     device-specific entries.

   - Expose DPLL clock quality level to the user-space.

   - Support master-slave PHY config via device tree.

  Tests and tooling:

   - forwarding: introduce deferred commands, to simplify the cleanup
     phase

  Drivers:

   - Updated several drivers - Amazon vNic, Google vNic, Microsoft vNic,
     Intel e1000e and Broadcom Tigon3 - to use netdev-genl to link the
     IRQs and queues to NAPI IDs, allowing busy polling and better
     introspection.

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "Another moderately busy cycle in docsland:

   - Work on Chinese translations has picked up again. Happily, they are
     maintaining the existing translations and not just adding new ones.

   - Some maintenance of the Japanese and Italian translations as well.

   - The removal of the venerable "dontdiff" file. It has long outlived
     its usefulness and contained entries ("parse.*") that would
     actively mask actual source change.

   - The addition of enforcement information to the code-of-conduct
     documentation.

  Along with some build-system fixes and a lot of typo and language
  fixes"

Pull RCU updates from Frederic Weisbecker:
 "SRCU:

   - Introduction of the new SRCU-lite flavour with a new pair of
     srcu_read_[un]lock_lite() APIs. In practice the read side using
     this flavour becomes lighter by removing a full memory barrier on
     LOCK and a full memory barrier on UNLOCK. This comes at the expense
     of a higher latency write side with two (in the best case of a
     snaphot of unused read-sides) or more RCU grace periods on the
     update side which now assumes by itself the whole full ordering
     guarantee against the LOCK/UNLOCK counters on both indexes, along
     with the accesses performed inside.

     Uretprobes is a known potential user.

     Note this doesn't replace the default normal flavour of SRCU which
     still behaves the same as usual.

   - Add testing of SRCU-lite through rcutorture and rcuscale

   - Various cleanups on the way.

  Fixes:

   - Allow short-circuiting RCU-TASKS-RUDE grace periods on
     architectures that have sane noinstr boundaries forbidding tracing
     on low-level idle and kernel entry code. RCU-TASKS is enough on
     such configurations because it involves an RCU grace period that
     waits for all idle tasks to either schedule out voluntarily or
     enter into RCU unwatched noinstr code.

   - Allow and test start_poll_synchronize_rcu() with IRQs disabled.

   - Mention rcuog kthreads in relevant documentation and Kconfig help

   - Various fixes and consolidations

  rcutorture:

   - Add --no-affinity on tools to leave the affinity setting of guests
     up to the user.

   - Add guest_os_delay parameter to rcuscale for better warm-up
     control.

   - Fix and improve some rcuscale error handling.

   - Various cleanups and fixes

  stall:

   - Remove dead code

   - Stop dumping tasks if a stalled grace period eventually ended
     midway as that only produces confusing output.

   - Optimize detection of stalling CPUs and avoid useless node locking
     otherwise.

  NOCB:

   - Fix rcu_barrier() hang due to a race against callbacks
     deoffloading. This is not yet used, except by rcutorture, and waits
     for its promised cpusets interface.

   - Remove leftover function declaration"

* tag 'rcu.release.v6.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rcu/linux: (42 commits)

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:

 - Support for running Linux in a protected VM under the Arm
   Confidential Compute Architecture (CCA)

 - Guarded Control Stack user-space support. Current patches follow the
   x86 ABI of implicitly creating a shadow stack on clone(). Subsequent
   patches (already on the list) will add support for clone3() allowing
   finer-grained control of the shadow stack size and placement from
   libc

 - AT_HWCAP3 support (not running out of HWCAP2 bits yet but we are
   getting close with the upcoming dpISA support)

 - Other arch features:

     - In-kernel use of the memcpy instructions, FEAT_MOPS (previously
       only exposed to user; uaccess support not merged yet)

     - MTE: hugetlbfs support and the corresponding kselftests

     - Optimise CRC32 using the PMULL instructions

     - Support for FEAT_HAFT enabling ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG

     - Optimise the kernel TLB flushing to use the range operations

     - POE/pkey (permission overlays): further cleanups after bringing
       the signal handler in line with the x86 behaviour for 6.12

 - arm64 perf updates:

     - Support for the NXP i.MX91 PMU in the existing IMX driver

     - Support for Ampere SoCs in the Designware PCIe PMU driver

     - Support for Marvell's 'PEM' PCIe PMU present in the 'Odyssey' SoC

     - Support for Samsung's 'Mongoose' CPU PMU

     - Support for PMUv3.9 finer-grained userspace counter access
       control

     - Switch back to platform_driver::remove() now that it returns
       'void'

     - Add some missing events for the CXL PMU driver

 - Miscellaneous arm64 fixes/cleanups:

     - Page table accessors cleanup: type updates, drop unused macros,
       reorganise arch_make_huge_pte() and clean up pte_mkcont(), sanity
       check addresses before runtime P4D/PUD folding

     - Command line override for ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1.ECV (advertising the
       FEAT_ECV for the generic timers) allowing Linux to boot with
       firmware deployments that don't set SCTLR_EL3.ECVEn

     - ACPI/arm64: tighten the check for the array of platform timer
       structures and adjust the error handling procedure in
       gtdt_parse_timer_block()

     - Optimise the cache flush for the uprobes xol slot (skip if no
       change) and other uprobes/kprobes cleanups

     - Fix the context switching of tpidrro_el0 when kpti is enabled

     - Dynamic shadow call stack fixes

     - Sysreg updates
