Char/Misc drivers for 6.4-rc1
Here is the "big" set of char/misc and other driver subsystems for 6.4-rc1. It's pretty big, but due to the removal of pcmcia drivers, almost breaks even for number of lines added vs. removed, a nice change. Included in here are: - removal of unused PCMCIA drivers (finally!) - Interconnect driver updates and additions - Lots of IIO driver updates and additions - MHI driver updates - Coresight driver updates - NVMEM driver updates, which required some OF updates - W1 driver updates and a new maintainer to manage the subsystem - FPGA driver updates - New driver subsystem, CDX, for AMD systems - lots of other small driver updates and additions All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues.

Networking changes for 6.4.
Core
----
- Introduce a config option to tweak MAX_SKB_FRAGS. Increasing the
default value allows for better BIG TCP performances.
- Reduce compound page head access for zero-copy data transfers.
- RPS/RFS improvements, avoiding unneeded NET_RX_SOFTIRQ when possible.
- Threaded NAPI improvements, adding defer skb free support and unneeded
softirq avoidance.
- Address dst_entry reference count scalability issues, via false
sharing avoidance and optimize refcount tracking.
- Add lockless accesses annotation to sk_err[_soft].
- Optimize again the skb struct layout.
- Extends the skb drop reasons to make it usable by multiple
subsystems.
- Better const qualifier awareness for socket casts.
BPF
---
- Add skb and XDP typed dynptrs which allow BPF programs for more
ergonomic and less brittle iteration through data and variable-sized
accesses.
- Add a new BPF netfilter program type and minimal support to hook
BPF programs to netfilter hooks such as prerouting or forward.
- Add more precise memory usage reporting for all BPF map types.
- Adds support for using {FOU,GUE} encap with an ipip device operating
in collect_md mode and add a set of BPF kfuncs for controlling encap
params.
- Allow BPF programs to detect at load time whether a particular kfunc
exists or not, and also add support for this in light skeleton.
- Bigger batch of BPF verifier improvements to prepare for upcoming BPF
open-coded iterators allowing for less restrictive looping capabilities.
- Rework RCU enforcement in the verifier, add kptr_rcu and enforce BPF
programs to NULL-check before passing such pointers into kfunc.
- Add support for kptrs in percpu hashmaps, percpu LRU hashmaps and in
local storage maps.
- Enable RCU semantics for task BPF kptrs and allow referenced kptr
tasks to be stored in BPF maps.
- Add support for refcounted local kptrs to the verifier for allowing
shared ownership, useful for adding a node to both the BPF list and
rbtree.
- Add BPF verifier support for ST instructions in convert_ctx_access()
which will help new -mcpu=v4 clang flag to start emitting them.
- Add ARM32 USDT support to libbpf.
- Improve bpftool's visual program dump which produces the control
flow graph in a DOT format by adding C source inline annotations.
Protocols
---------
- IPv4: Allow adding to IPv4 address a 'protocol' tag. Such value
indicates the provenance of the IP address.
- IPv6: optimize route lookup, dropping unneeded R/W lock acquisition.
- Add the handshake upcall mechanism, allowing the user-space
to implement generic TLS handshake on kernel's behalf.
- Bridge: support per-{Port, VLAN} neighbor suppression, increasing
resilience to nodes failures.
- SCTP: add support for Fair Capacity and Weighted Fair Queueing
schedulers.
- MPTCP: delay first subflow allocation up to its first usage. This
will allow for later better LSM interaction.
- xfrm: Remove inner/outer modes from input/output path. These are
not needed anymore.
- WiFi:
- reduced neighbor report (RNR) handling for AP mode
- HW timestamping support
- support for randomized auth/deauth TA for PASN privacy
- per-link debugfs for multi-link
- TC offload support for mac80211 drivers
- mac80211 mesh fast-xmit and fast-rx support
- enable Wi-Fi 7 (EHT) mesh support
Netfilter
---------
- Add nf_tables 'brouting' support, to force a packet to be routed
instead of being bridged.
- Update bridge netfilter and ovs conntrack helpers to handle
IPv6 Jumbo packets properly, i.e. fetch the packet length
from hop-by-hop extension header. This is needed for BIT TCP
support.
- The iptables 32bit compat interface isn't compiled in by default
anymore.
- Move ip(6)tables builtin icmp matches to the udptcp one.
This has the advantage that icmp/icmpv6 match doesn't load the
iptables/ip6tables modules anymore when iptables-nft is used.
- Extended netlink error report for netdevice in flowtables and
netdev/chains. Allow for incrementally add/delete devices to netdev
basechain. Allow to create netdev chain without device.
Driver API
----------
- Remove redundant Device Control Error Reporting Enable, as PCI core
has already error reporting enabled at enumeration time.
- Move Multicast DB netlink handlers to core, allowing devices other
then bridge to use them.
- Allow the page_pool to directly recycle the pages from safely
localized NAPI.
- Implement lockless TX queue stop/wake combo macros, allowing for
further code de-duplication and sanitization.
- Add YNL support for user headers and struct attrs.
- Add partial YNL specification for devlink.
- Add partial YNL specification for ethtool.
- Add tc-mqprio and tc-taprio support for preemptible traffic classes.
- Add tx push buf len param to ethtool, specifies the maximum number
of bytes of a transmitted packet a driver can push directly to the
underlying device.
- Add basic LED support for switch/phy.
- Add NAPI documentation, stop relaying on external links.
- Convert dsa_master_ioctl() to netdev notifier. This is a preparatory
work to make the hardware timestamping layer selectable by user
space.
- Add transceiver support and improve the error messages for CAN-FD
controllers.

Commit volume in documentation is relatively low this time, but there is
still a fair amount going on, including:
- Reorganizing the architecture-specific documentation under
Documentation/arch. This makes the structure match the source directory
and helps to clean up the mess that is the top-level Documentation
directory a bit. This work creates the new directory and moves x86 and
most of the less-active architectures there. The current plan is to move
the rest of the architectures in 6.5, with the patches going through the
appropriate subsystem trees.
- Some more Spanish translations and maintenance of the Italian
translation.
- A new "Kernel contribution maturity model" document from Ted.
- A new tutorial on quickly building a trimmed kernel from Thorsten.
Plus the usual set of updates and fixes.

Documentation/process: always CC responsible lists
The "Select the recipients for your patch" part about CC-ing mailing lists is a bit vague and might be understood that only some lists should be Cc-ed. That's not what most of the maintainers expect. For given code, associated mailing list must always be CC-ed, because the list is used for reviewing and testing patches. Example are the Devicetree bindings patches, which are tested iff Devicetree mailing list is CC-ed.

Driver core fixes for 6.3-rc5
Here are 3 small changes for 6.3-rc5 semi-related to driver core stuff:
- documentation update where we move the security_bugs file to a more
relevant location.
- mdt/spi-nor debugfs memory leak fix that's been floating around for
a long time and acked by the maintainer
- cacheinfo bugfix for a regression in 6.3-rc1
All have been in linux-next with no reported problems.

Documentation/process: Add Linux Kernel Contribution Maturity Model
As a follow-up to a discussion at the 2021 Maintainer's Summit on the topic of maintainer recruitment and retention, the TAB took on the task of creating a document which to help companies and other organizations to grow in their ability to engage with the Linux Kernel development community, using the Maturity Model[2] framework.

char: pcmcia: remove all the drivers

Note that I also removed a UAPI header: include/uapi/linux/cm4000_cs.h. I found only coccinelle tests mentioning some ioctl constants from that file. But they are not actually used.

Documentation: simplify and clarify DCO contribution example language
Long long ago, in a more innocent time, Greg wrote the clarification for
how the DCO should work and that you couldn't make anonymous
contributions, because the sign-off needed to be something we could
check back with.
It was 2006, and nobody reacted to the wording, the whole Facebook 'real
name' controversy was a decade in the future, and nobody even thought
about it. And despite the language, we've always accepted nicknames and
that language was never meant to be any kind of exclusionary wording.
In fact, even when it became a discussion in other adjacent projects,
apparently nobody even thought to just clarify the language in the
kernel docs, and instead we had projects like the CNCF that had long
discussions about it, and wrote their own clarifications [1] of it.
Just simplify the wording to the point where it shouldn't be causing
unnecessary angst and pain, or scare away people who go by preferred
naming.

Driver core changes for 6.3-rc1
Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.3-rc1.
There's a lot of changes this development cycle, most of the work falls
into two different categories:
- fw_devlink fixes and updates. This has gone through numerous review
cycles and lots of review and testing by lots of different devices.
Hopefully all should be good now, and Saravana will be keeping a
watch for any potential regression on odd embedded systems.
- driver core changes to work to make struct bus_type able to be moved
into read-only memory (i.e. const) The recent work with Rust has
pointed out a number of areas in the driver core where we are
passing around and working with structures that really do not have
to be dynamic at all, and they should be able to be read-only making
things safer overall. This is the contuation of that work (started
last release with kobject changes) in moving struct bus_type to be
constant. We didn't quite make it for this release, but the
remaining patches will be finished up for the release after this
one, but the groundwork has been laid for this effort.
Other than that we have in here:
- debugfs memory leak fixes in some subsystems
- error path cleanups and fixes for some never-able-to-be-hit
codepaths.
- cacheinfo rework and fixes
- Other tiny fixes, full details are in the shortlog
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
problems.

docs: recommend using Link: whenever using Reported-by:
Encourage developers to place Link: tag pointing to the report when they are using Reported-by: tags. Those links are often extremely useful for any code archaeologist that wants to know more about the backstory of a change than the commit message provides. That includes maintainers higher up in the patch-flow hierarchy, which is why Linus asks developers to add such links [1, 2, 3]. To quote [1]: > Again, the commit has a link to the patch *submission*, which is > almost entirely useless. There's no link to the actual problem the > patch fixes. > > [...] > > Put another way: I can see that > > Reported-by: Zhangfei Gao <zhangfei.gao@foxmail.com> > > in the commit, but I don't have a clue what the actual report was, and > there really isn't enough information in the commit itself, except for > a fairly handwavy "Device drivers might, for instance, still need to > flush operations.." > > I don't want to know what device drivers _might_ do. I would want to > have an actual pointer to what they do and where. Another reason why these links are wanted: the ongoing regression tracking efforts can only scale with them, as they allow the regression tracking bot 'regzbot' to automatically connect tracked reports with patches that are posted or committed to fix tracked regressions.

docs: maintainer-pgp-guide: update for latest gnupg defaults
It is finally becoming increasingly rare to find a distribution that still ships with gnupg-1.x, so remove the last vestiges of "gpg" vs "gpg2" from documentation. Similarly, starting with GnuPG 2.2 and above, the default --gen-key operation creates ed25519/cv25519 keypairs, so update all example command outputs to use that combination instead of rsa2048. Lastly, add a few wording tweaks and remove links that lead to stale information (e.g. hardware tokens overview from 2017).

docs: netdev: convert to a non-FAQ document
The netdev-FAQ document has grown over the years to the point where finding information in it is somewhat challenging. The length of the questions prevents readers from locating content that's relevant at a glance. Convert to a more standard documentation format with sections and sub-sections rather than questions and answers. The content edits are limited to what's necessary to change the format, and very minor clarifications.

Documentation: raise minimum supported version of binutils to 2.25
Binutils 2.23 was released in 2012. Almost 10 years old. We already require GCC 5.1, released in 2015. Bump the binutils version to 2.25, which was released some months before GCC 5.1. With this applied, some subsystems can start to clean up code.

This was a not-too-busy cycle for documentation; highlights include:
- The beginnings of a set of translations into Spanish, headed up by Carlos
Bilbao.
- More Chinese translations.
- A change to the Sphinx "alabaster" theme by default for HTML generation.
Unlike the previous default (Read the Docs), alabaster is shipped with
Sphinx by default, reducing the number of other dependencies that need to
be installed. It also (IMO) produces a cleaner and more readable result.
- The ability to render the documentation into the texinfo format
(something Sphinx could always do, we just never wired it up until now).
Plus the usual collection of typo fixes, build-warning fixes, and minor
updates.

Documentation: process: replace outdated LTS table w/ link
The existing table was a bit outdated. 3.16 was EOL in 2020. 4.4 was EOL in 2022. 5.10 is new in 2020. 5.15 is new in 2021. We'll see if 6.1 becomes LTS in 2022. Rather than keep this table updated, it does duplicate information from multiple kernel.org pages. Make one less duplication site that needs to be updated and simply refer to the kernel.org page on releases.

docs: netdev: offer performance feedback to contributors
Some of us gotten used to producing large quantities of peer feedback at work, every 3 or 6 months. Extending the same courtesy to community members seems like a logical step. It may be hard for some folks to get validation of how important their work is internally, especially at smaller companies which don't employ many kernel experts. The concept of "peer feedback" may be a hyperscaler / silicon valley thing so YMMV. Hopefully we can build more context as we go.

- Rewrite the single target build so it works more correctly.
- Fix rpm-pkg builds with V=1.
- List top-level subdirectories in ./Kbuild.
- Ignore auto-generated __kstrtab_* and __kstrtabns_* symbols in kallsyms.
- Avoid two different modules in lib/zstd/ having shared code, which
potentially causes building the common code as build-in and modular
back-and-forth.
- Unify two modpost invocations to optimize the build process.
- Remove head-y syntax in favor of linker scripts for placing particular
sections in the head of vmlinux.
- Bump the minimal GNU Make version to 3.82.
- Clean up misc Makefiles and scripts.

Driver core changes for 6.1-rc1
Here is the big set of driver core and debug printk changes for 6.1-rc1.
Included in here is:
- dynamic debug updates for the core and the drm subsystem. The
drm changes have all been acked by the relevant maintainers.
- kernfs fixes for syzbot reported problems
- kernfs refactors and updates for cgroup requirements
- magic number cleanups and removals from the kernel tree (they
were not being used and they really did not actually do
anything.)
- other tiny cleanups
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues.

TTY/Serial driver update for 6.1-rc1
Here is the big set of TTY and Serial driver updates for 6.1-rc1.
Lots of cleanups in here, no real new functionality this time around,
with the diffstat being that we removed more lines than we added!
Included in here are:
- termios unification cleanups from Al Viro, it's nice to
finally get this work done
- tty serial transmit cleanups in various drivers in preparation
for more cleanup and unification in future releases (that work
was not ready for this release.)
- n_gsm fixes and updates
- ktermios cleanups and code reductions
- dt bindings json conversions and updates for new devices
- some serial driver updates for new devices
- lots of other tiny cleanups and janitorial stuff. Full
details in the shortlog.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues.

docs: bump minimal GNU Make version to 3.82
GNU Make 3.81 fails in CONFIG_RUST=y builds. rust/Makefile:105: *** multiple target patterns. Stop. make[1]: *** [prepare] Error 2 make: *** [__sub-make] Error 2 The error message is unclear, but the reason is because the 'private' keyword is only supported since GNU Make 3.82. GNU Make 3.81 is still able to build the kernel when CONFIG_RUST is disabled, but it might be a good timing to raise the minimal GNU Make version. Perhaps, I am the last person who was testing GNU Make 3.81. GNU Make 3.81 was released in 2006, GNU Make 3.82 in 2010.

hardening updates for v6.1-rc1
Various fixes across several hardening areas:
- loadpin: Fix verity target enforcement (Matthias Kaehlcke).
- zero-call-used-regs: Add missing clobbers in paravirt (Bill Wendling).
- CFI: clean up sparc function pointer type mismatches (Bart Van Assche).
- Clang: Adjust compiler flag detection for various Clang changes (Sami
Tolvanen, Kees Cook).
- fortify: Fix warnings in arch-specific code in sh, ARM, and xen.
Improvements to existing features:
- testing: improve overflow KUnit test, introduce fortify KUnit test,
add more coverage to LKDTM tests (Bart Van Assche, Kees Cook).
- overflow: Relax overflow type checking for wider utility.
New features:
- string: Introduce strtomem() and strtomem_pad() to fill a gap in
strncpy() replacement needs.
- um: Enable FORTIFY_SOURCE support.
- fortify: Enable run-time struct member memcpy() overflow warning.

Pull kernel hardening updates from Kees Cook:
"Most of the collected changes here are fixes across the tree for
various hardening features (details noted below).
The most notable new feature here is the addition of the memcpy()
overflow warning (under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE), which is the next step
on the path to killing the common class of "trivially detectable"
buffer overflow conditions (i.e. on arrays with sizes known at compile
time) that have resulted in many exploitable vulnerabilities over the
years (e.g. BleedingTooth).
This feature is expected to still have some undiscovered false
positives. It's been in -next for a full development cycle and all the
reported false positives have been fixed in their respective trees.
All the known-bad code patterns we could find with Coccinelle are also
either fixed in their respective trees or in flight.
