Pull driver core updates from Danilo Krummrich:
"debugfs:
- Fix NULL pointer dereference in debugfs_create_str()
- Fix misplaced EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL for debugfs_create_str()
- Fix soundwire debugfs NULL pointer dereference from uninitialized
firmware_file
device property:
- Make fwnode flags modifications thread safe; widen the field to
unsigned long and use set_bit() / clear_bit() based accessors
- Document how to check for the property presence
devres:
- Separate struct devres_node from its "subclasses" (struct devres,
struct devres_group); give struct devres_node its own release and
free callbacks for per-type dispatch
- Introduce struct devres_action for devres actions, avoiding the
ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN alignment overhead of struct devres
- Export struct devres_node and its init/add/remove/dbginfo
primitives for use by Rust Devres<T>
- Fix missing node debug info in devm_krealloc()
- Use guard(spinlock_irqsave) where applicable; consolidate unlock
paths in devres_release_group()
driver_override:
- Convert PCI, WMI, vdpa, s390/cio, s390/ap, and fsl-mc to the
generic driver_override infrastructure, replacing per-bus
driver_override strings, sysfs attributes, and match logic; fixes a
potential UAF from unsynchronized access to driver_override in bus
match() callbacks
- Simplify __device_set_driver_override() logic
kernfs:
- Send IN_DELETE_SELF and IN_IGNORED inotify events on kernfs file
and directory removal
- Add corresponding selftests for memcg
platform:
- Allow attaching software nodes when creating platform devices via a
new 'swnode' field in struct platform_device_info
- Add kerneldoc for struct platform_device_info
software node:
- Move software node initialization from postcore_initcall() to
driver_init(), making it available early in the boot process
- Move kernel_kobj initialization (ksysfs_init) earlier to support
the above
- Remove software_node_exit(); dead code in a built-in unit
SoC:
- Introduce of_machine_read_compatible() and of_machine_read_model()
OF helpers and export soc_attr_read_machine() to replace direct
accesses to of_root from SoC drivers; also enables
CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST coverage for these drivers
sysfs:
- Constify attribute group array pointers to
'const struct attribute_group *const *' in sysfs functions,
device_add_groups() / device_remove_groups(), and struct class
Rust:
- Devres:
- Embed struct devres_node directly in Devres<T> instead of going
through devm_add_action(), avoiding the extra allocation and the
unnecessary ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN alignment
- I/O:
- Turn IoCapable from a marker trait into a functional trait
carrying the raw I/O accessor implementation (io_read /
io_write), providing working defaults for the per-type Io
methods
- Add RelaxedMmio wrapper type, making relaxed accessors usable in
code generic over the Io trait
- Remove overloaded per-type Io methods and per-backend macros
from Mmio and PCI ConfigSpace
- I/O (Register):
- Add IoLoc trait and generic read/write/update methods to the Io
trait, making I/O operations parameterizable by typed locations
- Add register! macro for defining hardware register types with
typed bitfield accessors backed by Bounded values; supports
direct, relative, and array register addressing
- Add write_reg() / try_write_reg() and LocatedRegister trait
- Update PCI sample driver to demonstrate the register! macro
Example:
```
register! {
/// UART control register.
CTRL(u32) @ 0x18 {
/// Receiver enable.
19:19 rx_enable => bool;
/// Parity configuration.
14:13 parity ?=> Parity;
}
/// FIFO watermark and counter register.
WATER(u32) @ 0x2c {
/// Number of datawords in the receive FIFO.
26:24 rx_count;
/// RX interrupt threshold.
17:16 rx_water;
}
}
impl WATER {
fn rx_above_watermark(&self) -> bool {
self.rx_count() > self.rx_water()
}
}
fn init(bar: &pci::Bar<BAR0_SIZE>) {
let water = WATER::zeroed()
.with_const_rx_water::<1>(); // > 3 would not compile
bar.write_reg(water);
let ctrl = CTRL::zeroed()
.with_parity(Parity::Even)
.with_rx_enable(true);
bar.write_reg(ctrl);
}
fn handle_rx(bar: &pci::Bar<BAR0_SIZE>) {
if bar.read(WATER).rx_above_watermark() {
// drain the FIFO
}
}
fn set_parity(bar: &pci::Bar<BAR0_SIZE>, parity: Parity) {
bar.update(CTRL, |r| r.with_parity(parity));
}
```
- IRQ:
- Move 'static bounds from where clauses to trait declarations for
IRQ handler traits

- Enable the generic_arg_infer Rust feature
- Extend Bounded with shift operations, single-bit bool
conversion, and const get()
Misc:

callbacks when no bus type PM ops are set
- Add conditional guard support for device_lock()

kernfs has historically used const void * to pass around namespace tags used for directory-level namespace filtering. The only current user of this is sysfs network namespace tagging where struct net pointers are cast to void *. Replace all const void * namespace parameters with const struct ns_common * throughout the kernfs, sysfs, and kobject namespace layers. This includes the kobj_ns_type_operations callbacks, kobject_namespace(), and all sysfs/kernfs APIs that accept or return namespace tags. Passing struct ns_common is needed because various codepaths require access to the underlying namespace. A struct ns_common can always be converted back to the concrete namespace type (e.g., struct net) via container_of() or to_ns_common() in the reverse direction. This is a preparatory change for switching to ns_id-based directory iteration to prevent a KASLR pointer leak through the current use of raw namespace pointers as hash seeds and comparison keys.

The macro is related to sysfs, but is defined in kernel.h. Move it to the proper header, and unload the generic kernel.h. Now that the macro is removed from kernel.h, linux/moduleparam.h is decoupled, and kernel.h inclusion can be removed.

Define the macros in terms of each other. This makes them easier to understand and also will make it easier to implement the transition machinery for 'const struct attribute'. __ATTR_RO_MODE() can't be implemented in terms of __ATTR() as not all attributes have a .store callback. The same issue theoretically exists for __ATTR_WO(), but practically that does not occur today. Reorder __ATTR_RO() below __ATTR_RO_MODE() to keep the order of the macro definition consistent with respect to each other.

When constifying instances of struct attribute, for consistency the corresponding .is_visible() callback should be adapted, too. Introduce a temporary transition mechanism until all callbacks are converted.

For the constification phase of 'struct attribute' various callback struct members will need to exist in both const and non-const variants. Keeping both members in a union avoids memory and CPU overhead but will be detected and trapped by Control Flow Integrity (CFI). By deciding between a struct and a union depending whether CFI is enabled, most configurations can avoid this overhead. Code using these callbacks will still need to be updated to handle both members explicitly. In the union case the compiler will recognize that testing for one union member is enough and optimize away the code for the other one.

To ease the constification process of 'struct attribute', transparently handle the const pointers in ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS(). A cast is used instead of assigning to .attrs_new as it keeps the macro smaller. As both members are aliased to each other the result is identical. Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh <linux@weissschuh.net> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251029-sysfs-const-attr-prep-v5-2-ea7d745acff4@weissschuh.net Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
To be able to constify instances of struct attribute it has to be
possible to add them to struct attribute_group. The current type of the
attrs member however is not compatible with that. Introduce a union that
allows registration of both const and non-const attributes to enable a
piecewise transition. As both union member types are compatible no
logic needs to be adapted.
Technically it is now possible register a const struct attribute and
receive it as mutable pointer in the callbacks. This is a soundness
issue. But this same soundness issue already exists today in
sysfs_create_file(). Also the struct definition and callback
implementation are always closely linked and are meant to be moved to
const in lockstep.

registration of const bin_attribute")
