A couple of subsystems have their own subsystem maintainers but choose
to have the code merged through the soc tree as upstream, as the code
tends to be used across multiple SoCs or has SoC specific drivers itself:
- memory controllers:
Krzysztof Kozlowski takes ownership of the drivers/memory
subsystem and its drivers, starting out with a set of cleanup
patches.
A larger driver for the Tegra memory controller that was accidentally
missed for v5.8 is now added.
- reset controllers:
Only minor updates to drivers/reset this time
- firmware:
The "turris mox" firmware driver gains support for signed firmware blobs
The tegra firmware driver gets extended to export some debug information
Various updates to i.MX firmware drivers, mostly cosmetic
- ARM SCMI/SCPI:
A new mechanism for platform notifications is added, among a number
of minor changes.
- optee:
Probing of the TEE bus is rewritten to better support detection of
devices that depend on the tee-supplicant user space.
A new firmware based trusted platform module (fTPM) driver is added
based on OP-TEE
- SoC attributes:
A new driver is added to provide a generic soc_device for identifying
a machine through the SMCCC ARCH_SOC_ID firmware interface rather than
by probing SoC family specific registers.
The series also contains some cleanups to the common soc_device code.
There are also a number of updates to SoC specific drivers,
the main ones are:
- Mediatek cmdq driver gains a few in-kernel interfaces
- Minor updates to Qualcomm RPMh, socinfo, rpm drivers, mostly adding
support for additional SoC variants
- The Qualcomm GENI core code gains interconnect path voting and
performance level support, and integrating this into a number of
device drivers.
- A new driver for Samsung Exynos5800 voltage coupler for
- Renesas RZ/G2H (R8A774E1) SoC support gets added to a couple of SoC
specific device drivers
- Updates to the TI K3 Ring Accelerator driver

This directory attempts to document the ABI between the Linux kernel and userspace, and the relative stability of these interfaces. Due to the everchanging nature of Linux, and the differing maturity levels, these interfaces should be used by userspace programs in different ways. We have four different levels of ABI stability, as shown by the four different subdirectories in this location. Interfaces may change levels of stability according to the rules described below. The different levels of stability are: stable/ This directory documents the interfaces that the developer has defined to be stable. Userspace programs are free to use these interfaces with no restrictions, and backward compatibility for them will be guaranteed for at least 2 years. Most interfaces (like syscalls) are expected to never change and always be available. testing/ This directory documents interfaces that are felt to be stable, as the main development of this interface has been completed. The interface can be changed to add new features, but the current interface will not break by doing this, unless grave errors or security problems are found in them. Userspace programs can start to rely on these interfaces, but they must be aware of changes that can occur before these interfaces move to be marked stable. Programs that use these interfaces are strongly encouraged to add their name to the description of these interfaces, so that the kernel developers can easily notify them if any changes occur (see the description of the layout of the files below for details on how to do this.) obsolete/ This directory documents interfaces that are still remaining in the kernel, but are marked to be removed at some later point in time. The description of the interface will document the reason why it is obsolete and when it can be expected to be removed. removed/ This directory contains a list of the old interfaces that have been removed from the kernel. Every file in these directories will contain the following information: What: Short description of the interface Date: Date created KernelVersion: Kernel version this feature first showed up in. Contact: Primary contact for this interface (may be a mailing list) Description: Long description of the interface and how to use it. Users: All users of this interface who wish to be notified when it changes. This is very important for interfaces in the "testing" stage, so that kernel developers can work with userspace developers to ensure that things do not break in ways that are unacceptable. It is also important to get feedback for these interfaces to make sure they are working in a proper way and do not need to be changed further. How things move between levels: Interfaces in stable may move to obsolete, as long as the proper notification is given. Interfaces may be removed from obsolete and the kernel as long as the documented amount of time has gone by. Interfaces in the testing state can move to the stable state when the developers feel they are finished. They cannot be removed from the kernel tree without going through the obsolete state first. It's up to the developer to place their interfaces in the category they wish for it to start out in. Notable bits of non-ABI, which should not under any circumstances be considered stable: - Kconfig. Userspace should not rely on the presence or absence of any particular Kconfig symbol, in /proc/config.gz, in the copy of .config commonly installed to /boot, or in any invocation of the kernel build process. - Kernel-internal symbols. Do not rely on the presence, absence, location, or type of any kernel symbol, either in System.map files or the kernel binary itself. See Documentation/process/stable-api-nonsense.rst.
