Pull tty/serial driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of tty and serial driver changes for 6.6-rc1.

  Lots of cleanups in here this cycle, and some driver updates. Short
  summary is:

   - Jiri's continued work to make the tty code and apis be a bit more
     sane with regards to modern kernel coding style and types

   - cpm_uart driver updates

   - n_gsm updates and fixes

   - meson driver updates

   - sc16is7xx driver updates

   - 8250 driver updates for different hardware types

   - qcom-geni driver fixes

   - tegra serial driver change

   - stm32 driver updates

   - synclink_gt driver cleanups

   - tty structure size reduction

  All of these have been in linux-next this week with no reported
  issues. The last bit of cleanups from Jiri and the tty structure size
  reduction came in last week, a bit late but as they were just style
  changes and size reductions, I figured they should get into this merge
  cycle so that others can work on top of them with no merge conflicts"

Pull x86 shadow stack support from Dave Hansen:
 "This is the long awaited x86 shadow stack support, part of Intel's
  Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET).

  CET consists of two related security features: shadow stacks and
  indirect branch tracking. This series implements just the shadow stack
  part of this feature, and just for userspace.

  The main use case for shadow stack is providing protection against
  return oriented programming attacks. It works by maintaining a
  secondary (shadow) stack using a special memory type that has
  protections against modification. When executing a CALL instruction,
  the processor pushes the return address to both the normal stack and
  to the special permission shadow stack. Upon RET, the processor pops
  the shadow stack copy and compares it to the normal stack copy.

  For more information, refer to the links below for the earlier
  versions of this patch set"

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Some swap cleanups from Ma Wupeng ("fix WARN_ON in
   add_to_avail_list")

 - Peter Xu has a series (mm/gup: Unify hugetlb, speed up thp") which
   reduces the special-case code for handling hugetlb pages in GUP. It
   also speeds up GUP handling of transparent hugepages.

 - Peng Zhang provides some maple tree speedups ("Optimize the fast path
   of mas_store()").

 - Sergey Senozhatsky has improved te performance of zsmalloc during
   compaction (zsmalloc: small compaction improvements").

 - Domenico Cerasuolo has developed additional selftest code for zswap
   ("selftests: cgroup: add zswap test program").

 - xu xin has doe some work on KSM's handling of zero pages. These
   changes are mainly to enable the user to better understand the
   effectiveness of KSM's treatment of zero pages ("ksm: support
   tracking KSM-placed zero-pages").

 - Jeff Xu has fixes the behaviour of memfd's
   MEMFD_NOEXEC_SCOPE_NOEXEC_ENFORCED sysctl ("mm/memfd: fix sysctl
   MEMFD_NOEXEC_SCOPE_NOEXEC_ENFORCED").

 - David Howells has fixed an fscache optimization ("mm, netfs, fscache:
   Stop read optimisation when folio removed from pagecache").

 - Axel Rasmussen has given userfaultfd the ability to simulate memory

<title>sparc: Explicitly include correct DT includes</title>

<content type='text'>
The DT of_device.h and of_platform.h date back to the separate
of_platform_bus_type before it was merged into the regular platform bus.
As part of that merge prepping Arm DT support 13 years ago, they
"temporarily" include each other. They also include platform_device.h
and of.h. As a result, there's a pretty much random mix of those include
files used throughout the tree. In order to detangle these headers and
replace the implicit includes with struct declarations, users need to
explicitly include the correct includes.

<title>nmi_backtrace: allow excluding an arbitrary CPU</title>
<updated>2023-08-18T17:19:00+00:00</updated>

<id>8d539b84f1e3478436f978ceaf55a0b6cab497b5</id>
<content type='text'>
The APIs that allow backtracing across CPUs have always had a way to
exclude the current CPU.  This convenience means callers didn't need to
find a place to allocate a CPU mask just to handle the common case.

Let's extend the API to take a CPU ID to exclude instead of just a
boolean.  This isn't any more complex for the API to handle and allows the
hardlockup detector to exclude a different CPU (the one it already did a
trace for) without needing to find space for a CPU mask.

Arguably, this new API also encourages safer behavior.  Specifically if
the caller wants to avoid tracing the current CPU (maybe because they
already traced the current CPU) this makes it more obvious to the caller
that they need to make sure that the current CPU ID can't change.
