The memcpy() of the data following a coreboot_table_entry couldn't
be evaluated by the compiler under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE. To make it
easier to reason about, add an explicit flexible array member to struct
coreboot_device so the entire entry can be copied at once. Additionally,
validate the sizes before copying. Avoids this run-time false positive
warning:

  memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 168) of single field "&amp;device-&gt;entry" at drivers/firmware/google/coreboot_table.c:103 (size 8)

<title>firmware/psci: Don't register with debugfs if PSCI isn't available</title>

Contrary to popular belief, PSCI is not a universal property of an
ARM/arm64 system. There is a garden variety of systems out there
that don't (or even cannot) implement it.

I'm the first one deplore such a situation, but hey...

On such systems, a "cat /sys/kernel/debug/psci" results in
fireworks, as no invocation callback is registered.

Check for the invoke_psci_fn and psci_ops.get_version pointers
before registering with the debugfs subsystem, avoiding the
issue altogether.

After [1][2], if we catch exceptions due to EFI runtime service, we will
clear EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES bit to disable EFI runtime service, then the
subsequent routine which invoke the EFI runtime service should fail.

But the userspace cat efivars through /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/ will stuck
and infinite loop calling read() due to efivarfs_file_read() return -EINTR.

The -EINTR is converted from EFI_ABORTED by efi_status_to_err(), and is
an improper return value in this situation, so let virt_efi_xxx() return
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR and converted to -EIO to invoker.

In cases where runtime services are not supported or have been disabled,
the runtime services workqueue will never have been allocated.

Do not try to destroy the workqueue unconditionally in the unlikely
event that EFI initialisation fails to avoid dereferencing a NULL

  attaching to the M4 after self-recovering from a crash. Support is
  added for i.MX8QM and mailbox channels are reconnected during the

  The Xilinx Zynqmp firmware interface is extended and support for the
  Xilinx R5 RPU is introduced.

  Various resources leaks, primarily in error paths, throughout the

  Lastly a fix to ensure that pm_relax is invoked even if the remoteproc

Do not try to refresh the RNG seed in case the firmware does not support
setting variables.

This is specifically needed to prevent a NULL-pointer dereference on the
Lenovo X13s with some firmware revisions, or more generally, whenever
the runtime services have been disabled (e.g. efi=noruntime or with
PREEMPT_RT).

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.2-rc1.

  The "big" change in here is the addition of a new macro,
  container_of_const() that will preserve the "const-ness" of a pointer
  passed into it.

  The "problem" of the current container_of() macro is that if you pass
  in a "const *", out of it can comes a non-const pointer unless you
  specifically ask for it. For many usages, we want to preserve the
  "const" attribute by using the same call. For a specific example, this
  series changes the kobj_to_dev() macro to use it, allowing it to be
  used no matter what the const value is. This prevents every subsystem
  from having to declare 2 different individual macros (i.e.
  kobj_const_to_dev() and kobj_to_dev()) and having the compiler enforce
  the const value at build time, which having 2 macros would not do
  either.

  The driver for all of this have been discussions with the Rust kernel
  developers as to how to properly mark driver core, and kobject,
  objects as being "non-mutable". The changes to the kobject and driver
  core in this pull request are the result of that, as there are lots of
  paths where kobjects and device pointers are not modified at all, so
  marking them as "const" allows the compiler to enforce this.

  So, a nice side affect of the Rust development effort has been already
  to clean up the driver core code to be more obvious about object
  rules.

  All of this has been bike-shedded in quite a lot of detail on lkml
  with different names and implementations resulting in the tiny version
  we have in here, much better than my original proposal. Lots of
  subsystem maintainers have acked the changes as well.

  Other than this change, included in here are smaller stuff like:

   - kernfs fixes and updates to handle lock contention better

   - vmlinux.lds.h fixes and updates

   - sysfs and debugfs documentation updates

   - device property updates

  All of these have been in the linux-next tree for quite a while with
  no problems"

* tag 'driver-core-6.2-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: (58 commits)
  device property: Fix documentation for fwnode_get_next_parent()
  firmware_loader: fix up to_fw_sysfs() to preserve const
  usb.h: take advantage of container_of_const()
  device.h: move kobj_to_dev() to use container_of_const()
  container_of: add container_of_const() that preserves const-ness of the pointer
  driver core: fix up missed drivers/s390/char/hmcdrv_dev.c class.devnode() conversion.
  driver core: fix up missed scsi/cxlflash class.devnode() conversion.
  driver core: fix up some missing class.devnode() conversions.
  driver core: make struct class.devnode() take a const *
  driver core: make struct class.dev_uevent() take a const *
  cacheinfo: Remove of_node_put() for fw_token
  device property: Add a blank line in Kconfig of tests
  device property: Rename goto label to be more precise
  device property: Move PROPERTY_ENTRY_BOOL() a bit down
  device property: Get rid of __PROPERTY_ENTRY_ARRAY_EL*SIZE*()
  kernfs: fix all kernel-doc warnings and multiple typos

Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the large set of char/misc and other driver subsystem changes
  for 6.2-rc1. Nothing earth-shattering in here at all, just a lot of
  new driver development and minor fixes.

  Highlights include:

   - fastrpc driver updates

   - iio new drivers and updates

   - habanalabs driver updates for new hardware and features

   - slimbus driver updates

   - speakup module parameters added to aid in boot time configuration

   - i2c probe_new conversions for lots of different drivers

   - other small driver fixes and additions

  One semi-interesting change in here is the increase of the number of
  misc dynamic minors available to 1048448 to handle new huge-cpu
  systems.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  problems"
