Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
 "To help make the move of sysctls out of kernel/sysctl.c not incur a
  size penalty sysctl has been changed to allow us to not require the
  sentinel, the final empty element on the sysctl array. Joel Granados
  has been doing all this work. On the v6.6 kernel we got the major
  infrastructure changes required to support this. For v6.7-rc1 we have
  all arch/ and drivers/ modified to remove the sentinel. Both arch and
  driver changes have been on linux-next for a bit less than a month. It
  is worth re-iterating the value:

   - this helps reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run
     time memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array

   - the extra 64-byte penalty is no longer inncurred now when we move
     sysctls out from kernel/sysctl.c to their own files

  For v6.8-rc1 expect removal of all the sentinels and also then the
  unneeded check for procname == NULL.

  The last two patches are fixes recently merged by Krister Johansen
  which allow us again to use softlockup_panic early on boot. This used
  to work but the alias work broke it. This is useful for folks who want
  to detect softlockups super early rather than wait and spend money on
  cloud solutions with nothing but an eventual hung kernel. Although
  this hadn't gone through linux-next it's also a stable fix, so we
  might as well roll through the fixes now"

Pull ia64 removal and asm-generic updates from Arnd Bergmann:

 - The ia64 architecture gets its well-earned retirement as planned,
   now that there is one last (mostly) working release that will be
   maintained as an LTS kernel.

 - The architecture specific system call tables are updated for the
   added map_shadow_stack() syscall and to remove references to the
   long-gone sys_lookup_dcookie() syscall.

Pull vfs inode time accessor updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This finishes the conversion of all inode time fields to accessor
  functions as discussed on list. Changing timestamps manually as we
  used to do before is error prone. Using accessors function makes this
  robust.

  It does not contain the switch of the time fields to discrete 64 bit
  integers to replace struct timespec and free up space in struct inode.
  But after this, the switch can be trivially made and the patch should
  only affect the vfs if we decide to do it"

Since driver core provides a generic device_match_acpi_handle()

Use devm_add_action_or_reset() instead of devres_alloc() and
devres_add(), which works the same. This will simplify the
code. There is no functional changes.

Use device_set_node() instead of assigning ctrl->dev.of_node
directly because it also sets the firmware node.

More than 1/3 of the n_gsm code has been contributed by us in the last
1.5 years, completing conformance with the standard and stabilizing the
driver:
- added UI (unnumbered information) frame support
- added PN (parameter negotiation) message handling and function support
- added optional keep-alive control link supervision via test messages
- added TIOCM_OUT1 and TIOCM_OUT2 to allow responder to operate as modem
- added TIOCMIWAIT support on virtual ttys
- added additional ioctls and parameters to configure the new functions
- added overall locking mechanism to avoid data race conditions
- added outgoing data flow to decouple physical from virtual tty handling
  for better performance and to avoid dead-locks
- fixed advanced option mode implementation
- fixed convergence layer type 2 implementation
- fixed handling of CLD (multiplexer close down) messages
- fixed broken muxer close down procedure
- and many more bug fixes

With this most of our initial RFC has been implemented. It gives the driver
a quality boost unseen in the decade before.
