Here is the big set of char/misc/iio and other smaller driver subsystem
changes for 7.0-rc1. Lots of little things in here, including:
- Loads of iio driver changes and updates and additions
- gpib driver updates
- interconnect driver updates
- i3c driver updates
- hwtracing (coresight and intel) driver updates
- deletion of the obsolete mwave driver
- binder driver updates (rust and c versions)
- mhi driver updates (causing a merge conflict, see below)
- mei driver updates
- fsi driver updates
- eeprom driver updates
- lots of other small char and misc driver updates and cleanups
All of these have been in linux-next for a while, with no reported
issues except for a merge conflict with your tree due to the mhi driver
changes in the drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath12k/mhi.c file. To fix that
up, just delete the "auto_queue" structure fields being set, see this
message for the full change needed:

- Further consolidate configurable preemption modes: reduce

PREEMPT_NONE and PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, reducing the number
of preemption models from four to just two: 'full' and 'lazy'
on up-to-date architectures (arm64, loongarch, powerpc,

None and voluntary are only available as legacy features

The goal is to eventually remove cond_resched() and
voluntary preemption altogether.

fair amount going on, including:
- Some signs of life on the long-moribund Japanese translation
- Documentation on policies around the use of generative tools for patch
submissions, and a separate document intended for consumption by
generative tools.
- The completion of the move of the documentation tools to tools/docs. For
now we're leaving a /scripts/kernel-doc symlink behind to avoid breaking
scripts.
- Ongoing build-system work includes the incorporation of documentation in
Python code, better support for documenting variables, and lots of
improvements and fixes.
- Automatic linking of man-page references -- cat(1), for example -- to
the online pages in the HTML build.
...and the usual array of typo fixes and such.

Merge tag 'docs-7.0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/docs/linux
Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"A slightly calmer cycle for docs this time around, though there is
still a fair amount going on, including:
- Some signs of life on the long-moribund Japanese translation
- Documentation on policies around the use of generative tools for
patch submissions, and a separate document intended for consumption
by generative tools
- The completion of the move of the documentation tools to
tools/docs. For now we're leaving a /scripts/kernel-doc symlink
behind to avoid breaking scripts
- Ongoing build-system work includes the incorporation of
documentation in Python code, better support for documenting
variables, and lots of improvements and fixes
- Automatic linking of man-page references -- cat(1), for example --
to the online pages in the HTML build
...and the usual array of typo fixes and such"

Add errata section with code examples for querying errata and a warning
that most applications should not check errata. Use kernel-doc directives
to include errata descriptions from the header files instead of manual
links.
Also enhance existing DOC sections in security/landlock/errata/abi-*.h
files with Impact sections, and update the code comment in syscalls.c
to remind developers to update errata documentation when applicable.
This addresses the gap where the kernel implements errata tracking
but provides no user-facing documentation on how to use it, while
improving the existing technical documentation in-place rather than
duplicating it.

Add backwards compatibility handling for the restrict flags introduced
in ABI version 7. This is shown as a separate code block (similar to
the ruleset_attr handling in the switch statement) because restrict flags
are passed to landlock_restrict_self() rather than being part of the
ruleset attributes.
Also fix misleading description of the /usr rule which incorrectly
stated it "only allow[s] reading" when the code actually allows both
reading and executing (LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_EXECUTE is included in
allowed_access).

Address Space IDs allows the VDUSE framework to support devices able to
expose different virtqueues to different part of the drivers. For
example, to let QEMU handle the net device control virtqueue, so QEMU
always knows the state of the device like mac address or number of
queues enabled, while leaving the dataplane passthrough to the guest
intact. This enables live migration.
Expands the VDUSE documentation to explain how to use the new ioctls or
the new struct members of old ioctls.

The root document usually has a special :ref:`genindex` link to the
generated index. This is also the case for Documentation/index.rst. The
other index.rst files deeper in the directory hierarchy usually don't.
For SPHINXDIRS builds, the root document isn't Documentation/index.rst,
but some other index.rst in the hierarchy. Currently they have a
".. only::" block to add the index link when doing SPHINXDIRS html
builds.
This is obviously very tedious and repetitive. The link is also added to
all index.rst files in the hierarchy for SPHINXDIRS builds, not just the
root document.
Put the boilerplate in a sphinx-includes/subproject-index.rst file, and
include it at the end of the root document for subproject builds in an
ad-hoc source-read extension defined in conf.py.
For now, keep having the boilerplate in translations, because this
approach currently doesn't cover translated index link headers.

Some hardware (e.g.: Rockchip's rk3588 hevc decoder) need to fully parse
the slice header, which cannot be passed with the current controls.
There is also no skip method similar as to what can be found in
verisilicon HW.
The SPS is therefore extended through these 2 new controls, providing the
long and short term reference information from the slice header for HEVC
decoding.
These now controls are similar as what is passed in the Vulkan Video API
with the StdVideoH265ShortTermRefPicSet and StdVideoH265LongTermRefPicsSps
structures embedded in the SPS struct.

If you force-disable mitigations on the kernel cmdline, for SPEC_STORE_BYPASS
this ends up with the prctl returning -ENXIO, but contrary to the current docs
for the other controls it returns -EPERM. Fix that.
Note that this return value should probably be considered a bug. But, making
the behaviour consistent with the current docs seems more likely to break
existing users than help anyone out in practice, so just "fix" it by
specifying it as correct.
Since this is getting more wordy and confusing, also be more explicit about
"control is not possible" be mentioning the boot configuration, to better
distinguish this case conceptually from the FORCE_DISABLE failure mode.

This capability is critical for cloud environments, allowing hypervisors

memory, devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition.
As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving memfd file

Patch series "Live Update Orchestrator", v8.
This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel subsystem
designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a kexec-based reboot.
This capability is critical for cloud environments, allowing hypervisors
to be updated with minimal downtime for running virtual machines. LUO
achieves this by preserving the state of selected resources, such as
memory, devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition.
As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving memfd file
descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such as guest RAM or
any other large memory region, to be maintained in RAM across the kexec
reboot.
The other series that use LUO, are VFIO [1], IOMMU [2], and PCI [3]
preservations.
Github repo of this series [4].
The core of LUO is a framework for managing the lifecycle of preserved
resources through a userspace-driven interface. Key features include:
- Session Management
Userspace agent (i.e. luod [5]) creates named sessions, each
represented by a file descriptor (via centralized agent that controls
/dev/liveupdate). The lifecycle of all preserved resources within a
session is tied to this FD, ensuring automatic kernel cleanup if the
controlling userspace agent crashes or exits unexpectedly.
- File Preservation
A handler-based framework allows specific file types (demonstrated
here with memfd) to be preserved. Handlers manage the serialization,
restoration, and lifecycle of their specific file types.
- File-Lifecycle-Bound State
A new mechanism for managing shared global state whose lifecycle is
tied to the preservation of one or more files. This is crucial for
subsystems like IOMMU or HugeTLB, where multiple file descriptors may
depend on a single, shared underlying resource that must be preserved
only once.
- KHO Integration
LUO drives the Kexec Handover framework programmatically to pass its
serialized metadata to the next kernel. The LUO state is finalized and
added to the kexec image just before the reboot is triggered. In the
future this step will also be removed once stateless KHO is
merged [6].
- Userspace Interface
Control is provided via ioctl commands on /dev/liveupdate for creating
and retrieving sessions, as well as on session file descriptors for
managing individual files.
- Testing
The series includes a set of selftests, including userspace API
validation, kexec-based lifecycle tests for various session and file
scenarios, and a new in-kernel test module to validate the FLB logic.
Introduce LUO, a mechanism intended to facilitate kernel updates while
keeping designated devices operational across the transition (e.g., via
kexec). The primary use case is updating hypervisors with minimal
disruption to running virtual machines. For userspace side of hypervisor
update we have copyless migration. LUO is for updating the kernel.
This initial patch lays the groundwork for the LUO subsystem.
Further functionality, including the implementation of state transition
logic, integration with KHO, and hooks for subsystems and file
descriptors, will be added in subsequent patches.
Create a character device at /dev/liveupdate.
A new uAPI header, <uapi/linux/liveupdate.h>, will define the necessary
structures. The magic number for IOCTL is registered in
Documentation/userspace-api/ioctl/ioctl-number.rst.

Add documentation explaining the ability to capture statistics from
the mali-c55 driver's new V4L2 device, as well as the various tap
points from which those statistics can be drawn in the ISP's
processing flow. Additionally add a page detailing the new V4L2
meta format for the mali-c55 statistics.

Add definitions and documentation for the custom control that will
be needed by the Mali-C55 ISP driver. This will be a read only
bitmask of the driver's capabilities, informing userspace of which
blocks are fitted and which are absent.

Aside from the main CMA region, it can be useful to allow userspace to
allocate from the other CMA reserved regions.
Indeed, those regions can have specific properties that can be useful to
a specific us-case.
For example, one of them platform I've been with has ECC enabled on the
entire memory but for a specific region. Using that region to allocate
framebuffers can be particular beneficial because enabling the ECC has a
performance and memory footprint cost.
Thus, exposing these regions as heaps user-space can allocate from and
import wherever needed allows to cover that use-case.
For now, only shared-dma-pools regions with the reusable property (ie,
backed by CMA) are supported, but eventually we'll want to support other
DMA pools types.
Since we collected all the CMA regions created during boot, we can
simply iterate over all of them to create the heaps.
This has a weird interaction with the recent work on the CMA name, in
particular the backward compatibility code created by commit
854acbe75f ("dma-buf: heaps: Give default CMA heap a fixed name").
Indeed, the old name was either 'reserved', or the name of the
reserved-memory region device tree node if the linux,cma-default
property was set.
In both these cases, we have now collected this region during boot, and
we're using the same name. So we're now largely redundant with the
code to handle backward compatibility code, and we can thus remove it
and the associated Kconfig option.

Since we're going to introduce multiple instances of the CMA heap
driver, there's no single CMA heap anymore.
Let's use the heap name instead to differentiate between all the heaps
available in the system.
While we're at it, let's also rework the backward compatibility part to
make it easier to amend later on.

There are lots of broken links on dmx. Those are mostly linked
to namespace handling.
Yet, some symbols were pointed to the wrong locations, and there
are some definitions that aren't needed.
