Here is a large chunk of USB driver fixes for 7.0-rc4. Included in here
are:
- usb gadget reverts due to reported issues, and then a follow-on fix
to hopefully resolve the reported overall problem
- xhci driver fixes
- dwc3 driver fixes
- usb core "killable" bulk message api addition to fix a usbtmc driver
bug where userspace could hang the driver for forever
- small USB driver fixes for reported issues
- new usb device quirks
All except the last USB device quirk change have been in linux-next with
no reported issues. That one came in too late, and is "obviously
correct" :)

Some USB devices incorrectly report bNumConfigurations as 0 in their
device descriptor, which causes the USB core to reject them during
enumeration.
logs:
usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71
usb 1-2: no configurations
usb 1-2: can't read configurations, error -22
However, these devices actually work correctly when
treated as having a single configuration.
Add a new quirk USB_QUIRK_FORCE_ONE_CONFIG to handle such devices.
When this quirk is set, assume the device has 1 configuration instead
of failing with -EINVAL.
This quirk is applied to the device with VID:PID 5131:2007 which
exhibits this behavior.

Rename writeback_compressed attr to compressed_writeback to avoid possible
confusion and have more natural naming. writeback_compressed may look
like an alternative version of writeback while in fact
writeback_compressed only sets a writeback property. Make this
distinction more clear with a new compressed_writeback name.
This updates a feature which is new in 7.0-rcX.

It turns out that both sysfs attributes actually directly control
the FN lock status/super key enable status, rather than the
triggering of the associated events. This behavior was first observed
on a Tuxedo notebook and was belived to be a hardware quirk.
However, it seems that i simply misunderstood the manual of the
OEM software for Intel NUC devices. The correct behavior is:
- fn_lock_toggle_enable enables/disables FN lock mode
- super_key_toggle_enable enables/disables the super key
Rename both sysfs attributes to avoid confusing users.

These sysctls were introduced by commit eafb64f40c ("vsock: add
netns to vsock core").
Document the two namespace modes (`global` and `local`), the
inheritance behavior of `child_ns_mode`, and the restriction preventing
local namespaces from setting `child_ns_mode` to `global`.

Here is the "big" set of USB and Thunderbolt driver updates for 7.0-rc1.
Overall more lines were removed than added, thanks to dropping the
obsolete isp1362 USB host controller driver, always a nice change.
Other than that, nothing major happening here, highlights are:
- lots of dwc3 driver updates and new hardware support added
- usb gadget function driver updates
- usb phy driver updates
- typec driver updates and additions
- USB rust binding updates for syntax and formatting changes
- more usb serial device ids added
- other smaller USB core and driver updates and additions
All of these have been in linux-next for a long time, with no reported
problems.

- Update the bootconfig parser to stop searching for a value when it
encounters a newline character.
Note that this changes the bootconfig formatting but this should not
fall under the don't break user space rule as users of bootconfig is
for booting the kernel and not about applications running in the
kernel's user space.
- Update the tests for bootconfig parser to ensure the good examples
to be parsed correctly by comparing the expected results.

- Add more CPUCFG mask bits.
- Improve feature detection.
- Add lazy load support for FPU and binary translation (LBT) register state.
- Fix return value for memory reads from and writes to in-kernel devices.
- Add support for detecting preemption from within a guest.
- Add KVM steal time test case to tools/selftests.
ARM:
- Add support for FEAT_IDST, allowing ID registers that are not
implemented to be reported as a normal trap rather than as an UNDEF
exception.
- Add sanitisation of the VTCR_EL2 register, fixing a number of
UXN/PXN/XN bugs in the process.
- Full handling of RESx bits, instead of only RES0, and resulting in
SCTLR_EL2 being added to the list of sanitised registers.
- More pKVM fixes for features that are not supposed to be exposed to
guests.
- Make sure that MTE being disabled on the pKVM host doesn't give it
the ability to attack the hypervisor.
- Allow pKVM's host stage-2 mappings to use the Force Write Back
version of the memory attributes by using the "pass-through'
encoding.
- Fix trapping of ICC_DIR_EL1 on GICv5 hosts emulating GICv3 for the
guest.
- Preliminary work for guest GICv5 support.
- A bunch of debugfs fixes, removing pointless custom iterators stored
in guest data structures.
- A small set of FPSIMD cleanups.
- Selftest fixes addressing the incorrect alignment of page
allocation.
- Other assorted low-impact fixes and spelling fixes.
RISC-V:
- Fixes for issues discoverd by KVM API fuzzing in
kvm_riscv_aia_imsic_has_attr(), kvm_riscv_aia_imsic_rw_attr(),
and kvm_riscv_vcpu_aia_imsic_update()
- Allow Zalasr, Zilsd and Zclsd extensions for Guest/VM
- Transparent huge page support for hypervisor page tables
- Adjust the number of available guest irq files based on MMIO
register sizes found in the device tree or the ACPI tables
- Add RISC-V specific paging modes to KVM selftests
- Detect paging mode at runtime for selftests
s390:
- Performance improvement for vSIE (aka nested virtualization)
- Completely new memory management. s390 was a special snowflake that enlisted
help from the architecture's page table management to build hypervisor
page tables, in particular enabling sharing the last level of page
tables. This however was a lot of code (~3K lines) in order to support
KVM, and also blocked several features. The biggest advantages is
that the page size of userspace is completely independent of the
page size used by the guest: userspace can mix normal pages, THPs and
hugetlbfs as it sees fit, and in fact transparent hugepages were not
possible before. It's also now possible to have nested guests and
guests with huge pages running on the same host.
- Maintainership change for s390 vfio-pci
- Small quality of life improvement for protected guests
x86:
- Add support for giving the guest full ownership of PMU hardware (contexted
switched around the fastpath run loop) and allowing direct access to data
MSRs and PMCs (restricted by the vPMU model). KVM still intercepts
access to control registers, e.g. to enforce event filtering and to
prevent the guest from profiling sensitive host state. This is more
accurate, since it has no risk of contention and thus dropped events, and
also has significantly less overhead.
For more information, see the commit message for merge commit bf2c3138ae
("Merge tag 'kvm-x86-pmu-6.20' of https://github.com/kvm-x86/linux into HEAD").
- Disallow changing the virtual CPU model if L2 is active, for all the same
reasons KVM disallows change the model after the first KVM_RUN.
- Fix a bug where KVM would incorrectly reject host accesses to PV MSRs
when running with KVM_CAP_ENFORCE_PV_FEATURE_CPUID enabled, even if those
were advertised as supported to userspace,
- Fix a bug with protected guest state (SEV-ES/SNP and TDX) VMs, where KVM
would attempt to read CR3 configuring an async #PF entry.
- Fail the build if EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL or EXPORT_SYMBOL is used in KVM (for x86
only) to enforce usage of EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_KVM_INTERNAL. Only a few exports
that are intended for external usage, and those are allowed explicitly.
- When checking nested events after a vCPU is unblocked, ignore -EBUSY instead
of WARNing. Userspace can sometimes put the vCPU into what should be an
impossible state, and spurious exit to userspace on -EBUSY does not really
do anything to solve the issue.
- Also throw in the towel and drop the WARN on INIT/SIPI being blocked when vCPU
is in Wait-For-SIPI, which also resulted in playing whack-a-mole with syzkaller
stuffing architecturally impossible states into KVM.
- Add support for new Intel instructions that don't require anything beyond
enumerating feature flags to userspace.
- Grab SRCU when reading PDPTRs in KVM_GET_SREGS2.
- Add WARNs to guard against modifying KVM's CPU caps outside of the intended
setup flow, as nested VMX in particular is sensitive to unexpected changes
in KVM's golden configuration.
- Add a quirk to allow userspace to opt-in to actually suppress EOI broadcasts
when the suppression feature is enabled by the guest (currently limited to
split IRQCHIP, i.e. userspace I/O APIC). Sadly, simply fixing KVM to honor
Suppress EOI Broadcasts isn't an option as some userspaces have come to rely
on KVM's buggy behavior (KVM advertises Supress EOI Broadcast irrespective
of whether or not userspace I/O APIC supports Directed EOIs).
- Clean up KVM's handling of marking mapped vCPU pages dirty.
- Drop a pile of *ancient* sanity checks hidden behind in KVM's unused
ASSERT() macro, most of which could be trivially triggered by the guest
and/or user, and all of which were useless.
- Fold "struct dest_map" into its sole user, "struct rtc_status", to make it
more obvious what the weird parameter is used for, and to allow fropping
these RTC shenanigans if CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=n.
- Bury all of ioapic.h, i8254.h and related ioctls (including
KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP) behind CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=y.
- Add a regression test for recent APICv update fixes.
- Handle "hardware APIC ISR", a.k.a. SVI, updates in kvm_apic_update_apicv()
to consolidate the updates, and to co-locate SVI updates with the updates
for KVM's own cache of ISR information.
- Drop a dead function declaration.
- Minor cleanups.
x86 (Intel):
- Rework KVM's handling of VMCS updates while L2 is active to temporarily
switch to vmcs01 instead of deferring the update until the next nested
VM-Exit. The deferred updates approach directly contributed to several
bugs, was proving to be a maintenance burden due to the difficulty in
auditing the correctness of deferred updates, and was polluting
"struct nested_vmx" with a growing pile of booleans.
- Fix an SGX bug where KVM would incorrectly try to handle EPCM page faults,
and instead always reflect them into the guest. Since KVM doesn't shadow
EPCM entries, EPCM violations cannot be due to KVM interference and
can't be resolved by KVM.
- Fix a bug where KVM would register its posted interrupt wakeup handler even
if loading kvm-intel.ko ultimately failed.
- Disallow access to vmcb12 fields that aren't fully supported, mostly to
avoid weirdness and complexity for FRED and other features, where KVM wants
enable VMCS shadowing for fields that conditionally exist.
- Print out the "bad" offsets and values if kvm-intel.ko refuses to load (or
refuses to online a CPU) due to a VMCS config mismatch.
x86 (AMD):
- Drop a user-triggerable WARN on nested_svm_load_cr3() failure.
- Add support for virtualizing ERAPS. Note, correct virtualization of ERAPS
relies on an upcoming, publicly announced change in the APM to reduce the
set of conditions where hardware (i.e. KVM) *must* flush the RAP.
- Ignore nSVM intercepts for instructions that are not supported according to
L1's virtual CPU model.
- Add support for expedited writes to the fast MMIO bus, a la VMX's fastpath
for EPT Misconfig.
- Don't set GIF when clearing EFER.SVME, as GIF exists independently of SVM,
and allow userspace to restore nested state with GIF=0.
- Treat exit_code as an unsigned 64-bit value through all of KVM.
- Add support for fetching SNP certificates from userspace.
- Fix a bug where KVM would use vmcb02 instead of vmcb01 when emulating VMLOAD
or VMSAVE on behalf of L2.
- Misc fixes and cleanups.
x86 selftests:
- Add a regression test for TPR<=>CR8 synchronization and IRQ masking.
- Overhaul selftest's MMU infrastructure to genericize stage-2 MMU support,
and extend x86's infrastructure to support EPT and NPT (for L2 guests).
- Extend several nested VMX tests to also cover nested SVM.
- Add a selftest for nested VMLOAD/VMSAVE.
- Rework the nested dirty log test, originally added as a regression test for
PML where KVM logged L2 GPAs instead of L1 GPAs, to improve test coverage
and to hopefully make the test easier to understand and maintain.
guest_memfd:
- Remove kvm_gmem_populate()'s preparation tracking and half-baked hugepage
handling. SEV/SNP was the only user of the tracking and it can do it via
the RMP.
- Retroactively document and enforce (for SNP) that KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE
and KVM_TDX_INIT_MEM_REGION require the source page to be 4KiB aligned, to
avoid non-trivial complexity for something that no known VMM seems to be
doing and to avoid an API special case for in-place conversion, which
simply can't support unaligned sources.
- When populating guest_memfd memory, GUP the source page in common code and
pass the refcounted page to the vendor callback, instead of letting vendor
code do the heavy lifting. Doing so avoids a looming deadlock bug with
in-place due an AB-BA conflict betwee mmap_lock and guest_memfd's filemap
invalidate lock.
Generic:
- Fix a bug where KVM would ignore the vCPU's selected address space when
creating a vCPU-specific mapping of guest memory. Actually this bug
could not be hit even on x86, the only architecture with multiple
address spaces, but it's a bug nevertheless.

Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"Loongarch:
- Add more CPUCFG mask bits
- Improve feature detection
- Add lazy load support for FPU and binary translation (LBT) register
state
- Fix return value for memory reads from and writes to in-kernel
devices
- Add support for detecting preemption from within a guest
- Add KVM steal time test case to tools/selftests
ARM:
- Add support for FEAT_IDST, allowing ID registers that are not
implemented to be reported as a normal trap rather than as an UNDEF
exception
- Add sanitisation of the VTCR_EL2 register, fixing a number of
UXN/PXN/XN bugs in the process
- Full handling of RESx bits, instead of only RES0, and resulting in
SCTLR_EL2 being added to the list of sanitised registers
- More pKVM fixes for features that are not supposed to be exposed to
guests
- Make sure that MTE being disabled on the pKVM host doesn't give it
the ability to attack the hypervisor
- Allow pKVM's host stage-2 mappings to use the Force Write Back
version of the memory attributes by using the "pass-through'
encoding
- Fix trapping of ICC_DIR_EL1 on GICv5 hosts emulating GICv3 for the
guest
- Preliminary work for guest GICv5 support
- A bunch of debugfs fixes, removing pointless custom iterators
stored in guest data structures
- A small set of FPSIMD cleanups
- Selftest fixes addressing the incorrect alignment of page
allocation
- Other assorted low-impact fixes and spelling fixes
RISC-V:
- Fixes for issues discoverd by KVM API fuzzing in
kvm_riscv_aia_imsic_has_attr(), kvm_riscv_aia_imsic_rw_attr(), and
kvm_riscv_vcpu_aia_imsic_update()
- Allow Zalasr, Zilsd and Zclsd extensions for Guest/VM
- Transparent huge page support for hypervisor page tables
- Adjust the number of available guest irq files based on MMIO
register sizes found in the device tree or the ACPI tables
- Add RISC-V specific paging modes to KVM selftests
- Detect paging mode at runtime for selftests
s390:
- Performance improvement for vSIE (aka nested virtualization)
- Completely new memory management. s390 was a special snowflake that
enlisted help from the architecture's page table management to
build hypervisor page tables, in particular enabling sharing the
last level of page tables. This however was a lot of code (~3K
lines) in order to support KVM, and also blocked several features.
The biggest advantages is that the page size of userspace is
completely independent of the page size used by the guest:
userspace can mix normal pages, THPs and hugetlbfs as it sees fit,
and in fact transparent hugepages were not possible before. It's
also now possible to have nested guests and guests with huge pages
running on the same host
- Maintainership change for s390 vfio-pci
- Small quality of life improvement for protected guests
x86:
- Add support for giving the guest full ownership of PMU hardware
(contexted switched around the fastpath run loop) and allowing
direct access to data MSRs and PMCs (restricted by the vPMU model).
KVM still intercepts access to control registers, e.g. to enforce
event filtering and to prevent the guest from profiling sensitive
host state. This is more accurate, since it has no risk of
contention and thus dropped events, and also has significantly less
overhead.
For more information, see the commit message for merge commit
bf2c3138ae ("Merge tag 'kvm-x86-pmu-6.20' ...")
- Disallow changing the virtual CPU model if L2 is active, for all
the same reasons KVM disallows change the model after the first
KVM_RUN
- Fix a bug where KVM would incorrectly reject host accesses to PV
MSRs when running with KVM_CAP_ENFORCE_PV_FEATURE_CPUID enabled,
even if those were advertised as supported to userspace,
- Fix a bug with protected guest state (SEV-ES/SNP and TDX) VMs,
where KVM would attempt to read CR3 configuring an async #PF entry
- Fail the build if EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL or EXPORT_SYMBOL is used in KVM
(for x86 only) to enforce usage of EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_KVM_INTERNAL.
Only a few exports that are intended for external usage, and those
are allowed explicitly
- When checking nested events after a vCPU is unblocked, ignore
-EBUSY instead of WARNing. Userspace can sometimes put the vCPU
into what should be an impossible state, and spurious exit to
userspace on -EBUSY does not really do anything to solve the issue
- Also throw in the towel and drop the WARN on INIT/SIPI being
blocked when vCPU is in Wait-For-SIPI, which also resulted in
playing whack-a-mole with syzkaller stuffing architecturally
impossible states into KVM
- Add support for new Intel instructions that don't require anything
beyond enumerating feature flags to userspace
- Grab SRCU when reading PDPTRs in KVM_GET_SREGS2
- Add WARNs to guard against modifying KVM's CPU caps outside of the
intended setup flow, as nested VMX in particular is sensitive to
unexpected changes in KVM's golden configuration
- Add a quirk to allow userspace to opt-in to actually suppress EOI
broadcasts when the suppression feature is enabled by the guest
(currently limited to split IRQCHIP, i.e. userspace I/O APIC).
Sadly, simply fixing KVM to honor Suppress EOI Broadcasts isn't an
option as some userspaces have come to rely on KVM's buggy behavior
(KVM advertises Supress EOI Broadcast irrespective of whether or
not userspace I/O APIC supports Directed EOIs)
- Clean up KVM's handling of marking mapped vCPU pages dirty
- Drop a pile of *ancient* sanity checks hidden behind in KVM's
unused ASSERT() macro, most of which could be trivially triggered
by the guest and/or user, and all of which were useless
- Fold "struct dest_map" into its sole user, "struct rtc_status", to
make it more obvious what the weird parameter is used for, and to
allow fropping these RTC shenanigans if CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=n
- Bury all of ioapic.h, i8254.h and related ioctls (including
KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP) behind CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=y
- Add a regression test for recent APICv update fixes
- Handle "hardware APIC ISR", a.k.a. SVI, updates in
kvm_apic_update_apicv() to consolidate the updates, and to
co-locate SVI updates with the updates for KVM's own cache of ISR
information
- Drop a dead function declaration
- Minor cleanups
x86 (Intel):
- Rework KVM's handling of VMCS updates while L2 is active to
temporarily switch to vmcs01 instead of deferring the update until
the next nested VM-Exit.
The deferred updates approach directly contributed to several bugs,
was proving to be a maintenance burden due to the difficulty in
auditing the correctness of deferred updates, and was polluting
"struct nested_vmx" with a growing pile of booleans
- Fix an SGX bug where KVM would incorrectly try to handle EPCM page
faults, and instead always reflect them into the guest. Since KVM
doesn't shadow EPCM entries, EPCM violations cannot be due to KVM
interference and can't be resolved by KVM
- Fix a bug where KVM would register its posted interrupt wakeup
handler even if loading kvm-intel.ko ultimately failed
- Disallow access to vmcb12 fields that aren't fully supported,
mostly to avoid weirdness and complexity for FRED and other
features, where KVM wants enable VMCS shadowing for fields that
conditionally exist
- Print out the "bad" offsets and values if kvm-intel.ko refuses to
load (or refuses to online a CPU) due to a VMCS config mismatch

Core & protocols
----------------
- A significant effort all around the stack to guide the compiler to
make the right choice when inlining code, to avoid unneeded calls for
small helper and stack canary overhead in the fast-path. This
generates better and faster code with very small or no text size
increases, as in many cases the call generated more code than the
actual inlined helper.
- Extend AccECN implementation so that is now functionally complete,
also allow the user-space enabling it on a per network namespace
basis.
- Add support for memory providers with large (above 4K) rx buffer.
Paired with hw-gro, larger rx buffer sizes reduce the number of
buffers traversing the stack, dincreasing single stream CPU usage by
up to ~30%.
- Do not add HBH header to Big TCP GSO packets. This simplifies the RX
path, the TX path and the NIC drivers, and is possible because
user-space taps can now interpret correctly such packets without the
HBH hint.
- Allow IPv6 routes to be configured with a gateway address that is
resolved out of a different interface than the one specified, aligning
IPv6 to IPv4 behavior.
- Multi-queue aware sch_cake. This makes it possible to scale the rate
shaper of sch_cake across multiple CPUs, while still enforcing a
single global rate on the interface.
- Add support for the nbcon (new buffer console) infrastructure to
netconsole, enabling lock-free, priority-based console operations that
are safer in crash scenarios.
- Improve the TCP ipv6 output path to cache the flow information, saving
cpu cycles, reducing cache line misses and stack use.
- Improve netfilter packet tracker to resolve clashes for most protocols,
avoiding unneeded drops on rare occasions.
- Add IP6IP6 tunneling acceleration to the flowtable infrastructure.
- Reduce tcp socket size by one cache line.
- Notify neighbour changes atomically, avoiding inconsistencies between
the notification sequence and the actual states sequence.
- Add vsock namespace support, allowing complete isolation of vsocks
across different network namespaces.
- Improve xsk generic performances with cache-alignment-oriented
optimizations.
- Support netconsole automatic target recovery, allowing netconsole
to reestablish targets when underlying low-level interface comes back
online.
Driver API
----------
- Support for switching the working mode (automatic vs manual) of a DPLL
device via netlink.
- Introduce PHY ports representation to expose multiple front-facing
media ports over a single MAC.

KVM mediated PMU support for 6.20
Add support for mediated PMUs, where KVM gives the guest full ownership of PMU
hardware (contexted switched around the fastpath run loop) and allows direct
access to data MSRs and PMCs (restricted by the vPMU model), but intercepts
access to control registers, e.g. to enforce event filtering and to prevent the
guest from profiling sensitive host state.
To keep overall complexity reasonable, mediated PMU usage is all or nothing
for a given instance of KVM (controlled via module param). The Mediated PMU
is disabled default, partly to maintain backwards compatilibity for existing
setup, partly because there are tradeoffs when running with a mediated PMU that
may be non-starters for some use cases, e.g. the host loses the ability to
profile guests with mediated PMUs, the fastpath run loop is also a blind spot,
entry/exit transitions are more expensive, etc.
Versus the emulated PMU, where KVM is "just another perf user", the mediated
PMU delivers more accurate profiling and monitoring (no risk of contention and
thus dropped events), with significantly less overhead (fewer exits and faster
emulation/programming of event selectors) E.g. when running Specint-2017 on
a single-socket Sapphire Rapids with 56 cores and no-SMT, and using perf from
within the guest:
Perf command:
a. basic-sampling: perf record -F 1000 -e 6-instructions -a --overwrite
b. multiplex-sampling: perf record -F 1000 -e 10-instructions -a --overwrite
Guest performance overhead:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Test case | emulated vPMU | all passthrough | passthrough with |
| | | | event filters |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| basic-sampling | 33.62% | 4.24% | 6.21% |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| multiplex-sampling | 79.32% | 7.34% | 10.45% |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

PREEMPT_NONE and PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, reducing the number
of preemption models from four to just two: 'full' and 'lazy'

PKCS#7/CMS messages, thereby allowing this algorithm to be used for
signing modules, kexec'able binaries, wifi regulatory data, etc..
This requires OpenSSL-3.5 at a minimum and preferably OpenSSL-4 (so
that it can avoid the use of CMS signedAttrs - but that version is not
cut yet). certs/Kconfig does a check to hide the signing options if
OpenSSL does not list the algorithm as being available"

For benchmarking or debugging purpose, we usually want to control SMT
via boot parameter and sysfs knobs. So add HOTPLUG_SMT implementation.
1. Boot parameters:
nosmt: Disable SMT, can be enabled via sysfs knobs.
nosmt=force: Disable SMT, cannot be enabled via sysfs knobs.
2. Runtime sysfs controls:
Write "on", "off", "forceoff" or the number of SMT threads (1, 2, ...)
to /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control.

Merge tag 'pm-6.20-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm
Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"By the number of commits, cpufreq is the leading party (again) and the
most visible change there is the removal of the omap-cpufreq driver
that has not been used for a long time (good riddance). There are also
quite a few changes in the cppc_cpufreq driver, mostly related to
fixing its frequency invariance engine in the case when the CPPC
registers used by it are not in PCC. In addition to that, support for
AM62L3 is added to the ti-cpufreq driver and the cpufreq-dt-platdev
list is updated for some platforms. The remaining cpufreq changes are
assorted fixes and cleanups.
Next up is cpuidle and the changes there are dominated by intel_idle
driver updates, mostly related to the new command line facility
allowing users to adjust the list of C-states used by the driver.
There are also a few updates of cpuidle governors, including two menu
governor fixes and some refinements of the teo governor, and a
MAINTAINERS update adding Christian Loehle as a cpuidle reviewer.
[Thanks for stepping up Christian!]
The most significant update related to system suspend and hibernation
is the one to stop freezing the PM runtime workqueue during system PM
transitions which allows some deadlocks to be avoided. There is also a
fix for possible concurrent bit field updates in the core device
suspend code and a few other minor fixes.
Apart from the above, several drivers are updated to discard the
return value of pm_runtime_put() which is going to be converted to a
void function as soon as everybody stops using its return value, PL4
support for Ice Lake is added to the Intel RAPL power capping driver,
and there are assorted cleanups, documentation fixes, and some
cpupower utility improvements.
Specifics:
- Remove the unused omap-cpufreq driver (Andreas Kemnade)
- Optimize error handling code in cpufreq_boost_trigger_state() and
make cpufreq_boost_trigger_state() return -EOPNOTSUPP if no policy

Pull vfs initrd removal from Christian Brauner:
"Remove the deprecated linuxrc-based initrd code path and related dead
code. The linuxrc initrd path was deprecated in 2020 and this series
completes its removal. If we see real-life regressions we'll revert.
The core change removes handle_initrd() and init_linuxrc() — the
entire flow that ran /linuxrc from an initrd, pivoted roots, and
handed off to the real root filesystem. With that gone, initrd_load()
becomes void (no longer short-circuits prepare_namespace()),
rd_load_image() is simplified to always load /initrd.image instead of
taking a path, and rd_load_disk() is deleted.
The /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev sysctl and its backing variable are
removed since they only existed for linuxrc to communicate the real
root device back to the kernel.
The no-op load_ramdisk= and prompt_ramdisk= parameters are dropped,
and noinitrd and ramdisk_start= gain deprecation warnings.
Initramfs is entirely unaffected. The non-linuxrc initrd path
(root=/dev/ram0) is preserved but now carries a deprecation warning
targeting January 2027 removal"

Re-implement RCU tasks trace in term of SRCU-fast, not only more than 500 lines

previous rcu_read_{,un}lock_trace(), the new API avoid the task_struct accesses

Add a new module parameter 'panic_on_stall_time' that triggers a panic
when a workqueue stall persists for longer than the specified duration
in seconds.
Unlike 'panic_on_stall' which counts accumulated stall events, this
parameter triggers based on the duration of a single continuous stall.
This is useful for catching truly stuck workqueues rather than
accumulating transient stalls.
Usage:
workqueue.panic_on_stall_time=120
This would panic if any workqueue pool has been stalled for 120 seconds
or more.
The stall duration is measured from the workqueue last progress
(poll_ts) which accounts for legitimate system stalls.
