Pull kvm fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
 "ARM:

   - Fix the handling of ZCR_EL2 in NV VMs

   - Pick the correct translation regime when doing a PTW on the back of
     a SEA

   - Prevent userspace from injecting an event into a vcpu that isn't
     initialised yet

   - Move timer save/restore to the sysreg handling code, fixing EL2
     timer access in the process

   - Add FGT-based trapping of MDSCR_EL1 to reduce the overhead of debug

   - Fix trapping configuration when the host isn't GICv3

   - Improve the detection of HCR_EL2.E2H being RES1

   - Drop a spurious 'break' statement in the S1 PTW

   - Don't try to access SPE when owned by EL3

  Documentation updates:

   - Document the failure modes of event injection

   - Document that a GICv3 guest can be created on a GICv5 host with
     FEAT_GCIE_LEGACY

  Selftest improvements:

   - Add a selftest for the effective value of HCR_EL2.AMO

   - Address build warning in the timer selftest when building with
     clang

   - Teach irqfd selftests about non-x86 architectures

   - Add missing sysregs to the set_id_regs selftest

   - Fix vcpu allocation in the vgic_lpi_stress selftest

   - Correctly enable interrupts in the vgic_lpi_stress selftest

  x86:

   - Expand the KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY selftest to add a regression test
     for the bug fixed by commit 3ccbf6f47098 ("KVM: x86/mmu: Return
     -EAGAIN if userspace deletes/moves memslot during prefault")

   - Don't try to get PMU capabilities from perf when running a CPU with
     hybrid CPUs/PMUs, as perf will rightly WARN.

  guest_memfd:

   - Rework KVM_CAP_GUEST_MEMFD_MMAP (newly introduced in 6.18) into a
     more generic KVM_CAP_GUEST_MEMFD_FLAGS

   - Add a guest_memfd INIT_SHARED flag and require userspace to
     explicitly set said flag to initialize memory as SHARED,
     irrespective of MMAP.

     The behavior merged in 6.18 is that enabling mmap() implicitly
     initializes memory as SHARED, which would result in an ABI
     collision for x86 CoCo VMs as their memory is currently always
     initialized PRIVATE.

   - Allow mmap() on guest_memfd for x86 CoCo VMs, i.e. on VMs with
     private memory, to enable testing such setups, i.e. to hopefully
     flush out any other lurking ABI issues before 6.18 is officially
     released.

   - Add testcases to the guest_memfd selftest to cover guest_memfd
     without MMAP, and host userspace accesses to mmap()'d private
     memory"

<title>docs: rust: add section on imports formatting</title>

<content type='text'>
`rustfmt`, by default, formats imports in a way that is prone to conflicts
while merging and rebasing, since in some cases it condenses several
items into the same line.

For instance, Linus mentioned [1] that the following case:

    use crate::{
        fmt,
        page::AsPageIter,
    };

is compressed by `rustfmt` into:

    use crate::{fmt, page::AsPageIter};

which is undesirable.

Similarly, `rustfmt` may put several items in the same line even if the
braces span already multiple lines, e.g.:

    use kernel::{
        acpi, c_str,
        device::{property, Core},
        of, platform,
    };

The options that control the formatting behavior around imports are
generally unstable, and `rustfmt` releases do not allow to use nightly
features, unlike the compiler and other Rust tooling [2].

For the moment, we can introduce a workaround to prevent `rustfmt`
from compressing the example above -- the "trailing empty comment":

    use crate::{
        fmt,
        page::AsPageIter, //
    };

which is reminiscent of the trailing comma behavior in other formatters.
We already used empty comments for formatting purposes in the past,
e.g. in commit b9b701fce49a ("rust: clarify the language unstable features
in use").

In addition, `rustfmt` actually reformats with a vertical layout (i.e. it
does not put two items in the same line) when seeing such a comment,
i.e. it doesn't just preserve the formatting, which is good in the sense
that we can use it to easily reformat some imports, since it matches
the style we generally want to have.

A Git merge driver would help (suggested by Gary and Wedson), though
maintainers would need to set it up, the diffs would still be larger
and the formatting rules for imports would remain hard to predict.

Thus document the style that we will follow in the coding guidelines
by introducing a new section and explain how the trailing empty comment
works there too.

We discussed the issue with upstream Rust in our usual Rust &lt;-&gt; Rust
for Linux meeting [3], and there have also been a few other discussions
in parallel in issues [4][5] and Zulip [6]. We will see what happens,
but upstream Rust has already created a subteam of `rustfmt` to try
to overcome the bandwidth issue [7], which is a good signal, and some
organization work has already started (e.g. tracking issues). We will
continue our discussions with them about it.

`rustfmt`, by default, formats imports in a way that is prone to conflicts
while merging and rebasing, since in some cases it condenses several
items into the same line.

For instance, Linus mentioned [1] that the following case:

    use crate::{
        fmt,
        page::AsPageIter,
    };

is compressed by `rustfmt` into:

    use crate::{fmt, page::AsPageIter};

which is undesirable.

Similarly, `rustfmt` may put several items in the same line even if the
braces span already multiple lines, e.g.:

    use kernel::{
        acpi, c_str,
        device::{property, Core},
        of, platform,
    };

The options that control the formatting behavior around imports are
generally unstable, and `rustfmt` releases do not allow to use nightly
features, unlike the compiler and other Rust tooling [2].

For the moment, we can introduce a workaround to prevent `rustfmt`
from compressing the example above -- the "trailing empty comment":

    use crate::{
        fmt,
        page::AsPageIter, //
    };

which is reminiscent of the trailing comma behavior in other formatters.
We already used empty comments for formatting purposes in the past,
e.g. in commit b9b701fce49a ("rust: clarify the language unstable features
in use").

In addition, `rustfmt` actually reformats with a vertical layout (i.e. it
does not put two items in the same line) when seeing such a comment,
i.e. it doesn't just preserve the formatting, which is good in the sense
that we can use it to easily reformat some imports, since it matches
the style we generally want to have.

A Git merge driver would help (suggested by Gary and Wedson), though
maintainers would need to set it up, the diffs would still be larger
and the formatting rules for imports would remain hard to predict.

Thus document the style that we will follow in the coding guidelines
by introducing a new section and explain how the trailing empty comment
works there too.

We discussed the issue with upstream Rust in our usual Rust &lt;-&gt; Rust
for Linux meeting [3], and there have also been a few other discussions
in parallel in issues [4][5] and Zulip [6]. We will see what happens,
but upstream Rust has already created a subteam of `rustfmt` to try
to overcome the bandwidth issue [7], which is a good signal, and some
organization work has already started (e.g. tracking issues). We will
continue our discussions with them about it.

====================
pull-request: can 2025-10-14

The first 2 paches are by Celeste Liu and target the gS_usb driver.
The first patch remove the limitation to 3 CAN interface per USB
device. The second patch adds the missing population of
net_device-&gt;dev_port.

The next 4 patches are by me and fix the m_can driver. They add a
missing pm_runtime_disable(), fix the CAN state transition back to
Error Active and fix the state after ifup and suspend/resume.

Another patch by me targets the m_can driver, too and replaces Dong
Aisheng's old email address.

The next 2 patches are by Vincent Mailhol and update the CAN
networking Documentation.

Tetsuo Handa contributes the last patch that add missing cleanup calls
in the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notification handler.
