To pick up the changes in:

  caa574ffc4aaf4f2 ("drm/i915/uapi: document behaviour for DG2 64K support")

That don't add any new ioctl, so no changes in tooling.

This silences this perf build warning:

  e9e9feebcbc14b17 ("KVM: s390: Add optional storage key checking to MEMOP IOCTL")

That just rebuilds perf, as these patches don't add any new KVM ioctl to
be harvested for the the 'perf trace' ioctl syscall argument
beautifiers.

This is also by now used by tools/testing/selftests/kvm/, a simple test
build succeeded.

     Explanation about these features from the "Intel® 64 and IA-32
     architectures software developer’s manual combined volumes: 1, 2A,
     2B, 2C, 2D, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, and 4" PDF at:

        https://cdrdv2.intel.com/v1/dl/getContent/671200

     At page 3951:
      "32.2.4

       Event Trace is a capability that exposes details about the
       asynchronous events, when they are generated, and when their
       corresponding software event handler completes execution. These
       include:

        o Interrupts, including NMI and SMI, including the interrupt
          vector when defined.

        o Faults, exceptions including the fault vector.

           - Page faults additionally include the page fault address,
             when in context.

        o Event handler returns, including IRET and RSM.

        o VM exits and VM entries.¹

           - VM exits include the values written to the “exit reason”
             and “exit qualification” VMCS fields. INIT and SIPI events.

        o TSX aborts, including the abort status returned for the RTM
          instructions.

        o Shutdown.

       Additionally, it provides indication of the status of the
       Interrupt Flag (IF), to indicate when interrupts are masked"

  ARM CoreSight:

   - Use advertised caps/min_interval as default sample_period on ARM
     spe.

   - Update deduction of TRCCONFIGR register for branch broadcast on
     ARM's CoreSight ETM.

  Vendor Events (JSON):

     Sandybridge, Silvermont, Skylake, Skylake Server, SkylakeX,
     Tigerlake, TremontX, Westmere EP-SP, and Westmere EX.

  ARM:

   - Add support for HiSilicon CPA PMU aliasing.

  perf stat:

   - Fix forked applications enablement of counters.

   - The 'slots' should only be printed on a different order than the
     one specified on the command line when 'topdown' events are
     present, fix it.

  Miscellaneous:

   - Sync msr-index, cpufeatures header files with the kernel sources.

   - Stop using some deprecated libbpf APIs in 'perf trace'.

   - Fix some spelling mistakes.

   - Refactor the maps pointers usage to pave the way for using refcount
     debugging.

   - Only offer the --tui option on perf top, report and annotate when
     perf was built with libslang.

   - Don't mention --to-ctf in 'perf data --help' when not linking with
     the required library, libbabeltrace.

   - Use ARRAY_SIZE() instead of ad hoc equivalent, spotted by
     array_size.cocci.

   - Enhance the matching of sub-commands abbreviations:
	'perf c2c rec' -&gt; 'perf c2c record'
	'perf c2c recport -&gt; error

   - Set build-id using build-id header on new mmap records.

   - Fix generation of 'perf --version' string.

   - Add MODE.Exec IFLAG bit support.

     Explanation about these features from the "Intel® 64 and IA-32
     architectures software developer’s manual combined volumes: 1, 2A,
     2B, 2C, 2D, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, and 4" PDF at:

        https://cdrdv2.intel.com/v1/dl/getContent/671200

     At page 3951:
      "32.2.4

       Event Trace is a capability that exposes details about the
       asynchronous events, when they are generated, and when their
       corresponding software event handler completes execution. These
       include:

        o Interrupts, including NMI and SMI, including the interrupt
          vector when defined.

        o Faults, exceptions including the fault vector.

           - Page faults additionally include the page fault address,
             when in context.

        o Event handler returns, including IRET and RSM.

        o VM exits and VM entries.¹

           - VM exits include the values written to the “exit reason”
             and “exit qualification” VMCS fields. INIT and SIPI events.

        o TSX aborts, including the abort status returned for the RTM
          instructions.

        o Shutdown.

       Additionally, it provides indication of the status of the
       Interrupt Flag (IF), to indicate when interrupts are masked"

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "The sprinkling of SPI drivers is because we added a new one and Mark
  sent us a SPI driver interface conversion pull request.

  Core
  ----

   - Introduce XDP multi-buffer support, allowing the use of XDP with
     jumbo frame MTUs and combination with Rx coalescing offloads (LRO).

   - Speed up netns dismantling (5x) and lower the memory cost a little.
     Remove unnecessary per-netns sockets. Scope some lists to a netns.
     Cut down RCU syncing. Use batch methods. Allow netdev registration
     to complete out of order.

   - Support distinguishing timestamp types (ingress vs egress) and
     maintaining them across packet scrubbing points (e.g. redirect).

   - Continue the work of annotating packet drop reasons throughout the
     stack.

   - Switch netdev error counters from an atomic to dynamically
     allocated per-CPU counters.

   - Rework a few preempt_disable(), local_irq_save() and busy waiting
     sections problematic on PREEMPT_RT.

   - Extend the ref_tracker to allow catching use-after-free bugs.

  BPF
  ---

   - Introduce "packing allocator" for BPF JIT images. JITed code is
     marked read only, and used to be allocated at page granularity.
     Custom allocator allows for more efficient memory use, lower iTLB
     pressure and prevents identity mapping huge pages from getting
     split.

   - Make use of BTF type annotations (e.g. __user, __percpu) to enforce
     the correct probe read access method, add appropriate helpers.

   - Convert the BPF preload to use light skeleton and drop the
     user-mode-driver dependency.

   - Allow XDP BPF_PROG_RUN test infra to send real packets, enabling
     its use as a packet generator.

   - Allow local storage memory to be allocated with GFP_KERNEL if
     called from a hook allowed to sleep.

   - Introduce fprobe (multi kprobe) to speed up mass attachment (arch
     bits to come later).

   - Add unstable conntrack lookup helpers for BPF by using the BPF
     kfunc infra.

   - Allow cgroup BPF progs to return custom errors to user space.

   - Add support for AF_UNIX iterator batching.

   - Allow iterator programs to use sleepable helpers.

   - Support JIT of add, and, or, xor and xchg atomic ops on arm64.

   - Add BTFGen support to bpftool which allows to use CO-RE in kernels
     without BTF info.

   - Large number of libbpf API improvements, cleanups and deprecations.

  Protocols
  ---------

   - Micro-optimize UDPv6 Tx, gaining up to 5% in test on dummy netdev.

   - Adjust TSO packet sizes based on min_rtt, allowing very low latency
     links (data centers) to always send full-sized TSO super-frames.

   - Make IPv6 flow label changes (AKA hash rethink) more configurable,
     via sysctl and setsockopt. Distinguish between server and client
     behavior.

   - VxLAN support to "collect metadata" devices to terminate only
     configured VNIs. This is similar to VLAN filtering in the bridge.

   - Support inserting IPv6 IOAM information to a fraction of frames.

   - Add protocol attribute to IP addresses to allow identifying where
     given address comes from (kernel-generated, DHCP etc.)

   - Support setting socket and IPv6 options via cmsg on ping6 sockets.

   - Reject mis-use of ECN bits in IP headers as part of DSCP/TOS.
     Define dscp_t and stop taking ECN bits into account in fib-rules.

   - Add support for locked bridge ports (for 802.1X).

   - tun: support NAPI for packets received from batched XDP buffs,
     doubling the performance in some scenarios.

   - IPv6 extension header handling in Open vSwitch.

   - Support IPv6 control message load balancing in bonding, prevent
     neighbor solicitation and advertisement from using the wrong port.
     Support NS/NA monitor selection similar to existing ARP monitor.

   - SMC
      - improve performance with TCP_CORK and sendfile()
      - support auto-corking
      - support TCP_NODELAY

   - MCTP (Management Component Transport Protocol)
      - add user space tag control interface
      - I2C binding driver (as specified by DMTF DSP0237)

   - Multi-BSSID beacon handling in AP mode for WiFi.

   - Bluetooth:
      - handle MSFT Monitor Device Event
      - add MGMT Adv Monitor Device Found/Lost events

   - Multi-Path TCP:
      - add support for the SO_SNDTIMEO socket option
      - lots of selftest cleanups and improvements

   - Increase the max PDU size in CAN ISOTP to 64 kB.

  Driver API
  ----------

   - Add HW counters for SW netdevs, a mechanism for devices which
     offload packet forwarding to report packet statistics back to
     software interfaces such as tunnels.

   - Select the default NIC queue count as a fraction of number of
     physical CPU cores, instead of hard-coding to 8.

   - Expose devlink instance locks to drivers. Allow device layer of
     drivers to use that lock directly instead of creating their own
     which always runs into ordering issues in devlink callbacks.

   - Add header/data split indication to guide user space enabling of
     TCP zero-copy Rx.

   - Allow configuring completion queue event size.

   - Refactor page_pool to enable fragmenting after allocation.

   - Add allocation and page reuse statistics to page_pool.

   - Improve Multiple Spanning Trees support in the bridge to allow
     reuse of topologies across VLANs, saving HW resources in switches.

   - DSA (Distributed Switch Architecture):
      - replay and offload of host VLAN entries
      - offload of static and local FDB entries on LAG interfaces
      - FDB isolation and unicast filtering

   - Ethernet:
      - LAN937x T1 PHYs
      - Davicom DM9051 SPI NIC driver
      - Realtek RTL8367S, RTL8367RB-VB switch and MDIO

     designs but also simplifying other cases.

   - Intel Ethernet NICs:
      - add TTY for GNSS module for E810T device

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "The sprinkling of SPI drivers is because we added a new one and Mark
  sent us a SPI driver interface conversion pull request.

  Core
  ----

   - Introduce XDP multi-buffer support, allowing the use of XDP with
     jumbo frame MTUs and combination with Rx coalescing offloads (LRO).

   - Speed up netns dismantling (5x) and lower the memory cost a little.
     Remove unnecessary per-netns sockets. Scope some lists to a netns.
     Cut down RCU syncing. Use batch methods. Allow netdev registration
     to complete out of order.

   - Support distinguishing timestamp types (ingress vs egress) and
     maintaining them across packet scrubbing points (e.g. redirect).

   - Continue the work of annotating packet drop reasons throughout the
     stack.

   - Switch netdev error counters from an atomic to dynamically
     allocated per-CPU counters.

   - Rework a few preempt_disable(), local_irq_save() and busy waiting
     sections problematic on PREEMPT_RT.

   - Extend the ref_tracker to allow catching use-after-free bugs.

  BPF
  ---

   - Introduce "packing allocator" for BPF JIT images. JITed code is
     marked read only, and used to be allocated at page granularity.
     Custom allocator allows for more efficient memory use, lower iTLB
     pressure and prevents identity mapping huge pages from getting
     split.

   - Make use of BTF type annotations (e.g. __user, __percpu) to enforce
     the correct probe read access method, add appropriate helpers.

   - Convert the BPF preload to use light skeleton and drop the
     user-mode-driver dependency.

   - Allow XDP BPF_PROG_RUN test infra to send real packets, enabling
     its use as a packet generator.

   - Allow local storage memory to be allocated with GFP_KERNEL if
     called from a hook allowed to sleep.

   - Introduce fprobe (multi kprobe) to speed up mass attachment (arch
     bits to come later).

   - Add unstable conntrack lookup helpers for BPF by using the BPF
     kfunc infra.

   - Allow cgroup BPF progs to return custom errors to user space.

   - Add support for AF_UNIX iterator batching.

   - Allow iterator programs to use sleepable helpers.

   - Support JIT of add, and, or, xor and xchg atomic ops on arm64.

   - Add BTFGen support to bpftool which allows to use CO-RE in kernels
     without BTF info.

   - Large number of libbpf API improvements, cleanups and deprecations.

  Protocols
  ---------

   - Micro-optimize UDPv6 Tx, gaining up to 5% in test on dummy netdev.

   - Adjust TSO packet sizes based on min_rtt, allowing very low latency
     links (data centers) to always send full-sized TSO super-frames.

   - Make IPv6 flow label changes (AKA hash rethink) more configurable,
     via sysctl and setsockopt. Distinguish between server and client
     behavior.

   - VxLAN support to "collect metadata" devices to terminate only
     configured VNIs. This is similar to VLAN filtering in the bridge.

   - Support inserting IPv6 IOAM information to a fraction of frames.

   - Add protocol attribute to IP addresses to allow identifying where
     given address comes from (kernel-generated, DHCP etc.)

   - Support setting socket and IPv6 options via cmsg on ping6 sockets.

   - Reject mis-use of ECN bits in IP headers as part of DSCP/TOS.
     Define dscp_t and stop taking ECN bits into account in fib-rules.

   - Add support for locked bridge ports (for 802.1X).

   - tun: support NAPI for packets received from batched XDP buffs,
     doubling the performance in some scenarios.

   - IPv6 extension header handling in Open vSwitch.

   - Support IPv6 control message load balancing in bonding, prevent
     neighbor solicitation and advertisement from using the wrong port.
     Support NS/NA monitor selection similar to existing ARP monitor.

   - SMC
      - improve performance with TCP_CORK and sendfile()
      - support auto-corking
      - support TCP_NODELAY

   - MCTP (Management Component Transport Protocol)
      - add user space tag control interface
      - I2C binding driver (as specified by DMTF DSP0237)

   - Multi-BSSID beacon handling in AP mode for WiFi.

   - Bluetooth:
      - handle MSFT Monitor Device Event
      - add MGMT Adv Monitor Device Found/Lost events

   - Multi-Path TCP:
      - add support for the SO_SNDTIMEO socket option
      - lots of selftest cleanups and improvements

   - Increase the max PDU size in CAN ISOTP to 64 kB.

  Driver API
  ----------

   - Add HW counters for SW netdevs, a mechanism for devices which
     offload packet forwarding to report packet statistics back to
     software interfaces such as tunnels.

   - Select the default NIC queue count as a fraction of number of
     physical CPU cores, instead of hard-coding to 8.

   - Expose devlink instance locks to drivers. Allow device layer of
     drivers to use that lock directly instead of creating their own
     which always runs into ordering issues in devlink callbacks.

   - Add header/data split indication to guide user space enabling of
     TCP zero-copy Rx.

   - Allow configuring completion queue event size.

   - Refactor page_pool to enable fragmenting after allocation.

   - Add allocation and page reuse statistics to page_pool.

   - Improve Multiple Spanning Trees support in the bridge to allow
     reuse of topologies across VLANs, saving HW resources in switches.

   - DSA (Distributed Switch Architecture):
      - replay and offload of host VLAN entries
      - offload of static and local FDB entries on LAG interfaces
      - FDB isolation and unicast filtering
