Pull VFIO updates from Alex Williamson: - Move libvfio selftest artifacts in preparation of more tightly coupled integration with KVM selftests (David Matlack) - Fix comment typo in mtty driver (Chu Guangqing) - Support for new hardware revision in the hisi_acc vfio-pci variant driver where the migration registers can now be accessed via the PF. When enabled for this support, the full BAR can be exposed to the user (Longfang Liu) - Fix vfio cdev support for VF token passing, using the correct size for the kernel structure, thereby actually allowing userspace to provide a non-zero UUID token. Also set the match token callback for the hisi_acc, fixing VF token support for this this vfio-pci variant driver (Raghavendra Rao Ananta) - Introduce internal callbacks on vfio devices to simplify and consolidate duplicate code for generating VFIO_DEVICE_GET_REGION_INFO data, removing various ioctl intercepts with a more structured solution (Jason Gunthorpe) - Introduce dma-buf support for vfio-pci devices, allowing MMIO regions to be exposed through dma-buf objects with lifecycle managed through move operations. This enables low-level interactions such as a vfio-pci based SPDK drivers interacting directly with dma-buf capable RDMA devices to enable peer-to-peer operations. IOMMUFD is also now able to build upon this support to fill a long standing feature gap versus the legacy vfio type1 IOMMU backend with an implementation of P2P support for VM use cases that better manages the lifecycle of the P2P mapping (Leon Romanovsky, Jason Gunthorpe, Vivek Kasireddy) - Convert eventfd triggering for error and request signals to use RCU mechanisms in order to avoid a 3-way lockdep reported deadlock issue (Alex Williamson) - Fix a 32-bit overflow introduced via dma-buf support manifesting with large DMA buffers (Alex Mastro) - Convert nvgrace-gpu vfio-pci variant driver to insert mappings on fault rather than at mmap time. This conversion serves both to make use of huge PFNMAPs but also to both avoid corrected RAS events during reset by now being subject to vfio-pci-core's use of unmap_mapping_range(), and to enable a device readiness test after reset (Ankit Agrawal) - Refactoring of vfio selftests to support multi-device tests and split code to provide better separation between IOMMU and device objects.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brgl/linux Pull gpio updates from Bartosz Golaszewski: "There's one new driver, lots of various updates to existing ones, some refactoring support for new models and misc tweaks and fixes. The biggest new feature in GPIO core is adding support for managed, enable-counted sharing of GPIO pins, something that - until now - was only hacked around with the GPIOD_FLAGS_BIT_NONEXCLUSIVE request flag which basically allowed drivers to "fight it out" for the descriptor and provided no synchronization. It was enabled on Qualcomm platforms (and thus is enabled on arm64 defconfig) and I plan on removing GPIOD_FLAGS_BIT_NONEXCLUSIVE once all drivers using it are switched to the new mechanism. GPIO core: - add proper support for shared GPIOs that's aiming to replace the current sharing mechanism (which provides no synchronization ot enable counting) and enable it for Qualcomm platforms - improve the software node GPIO lookup by using the fwnode representation instead of the software node's name which was prone to bugs (GPIO controllers don't have to use the software node's name as their kernel label) - remove the last user of legacy-of-mm-gpiochip.h and drop the header - move closer to removing the legacy gpio_request_one() routine - rename some symbols for consistency - shrink GPIO printk() helpers by reusing existing code - remove some redundant kernel messages - use min() instead of min_t() in GPIO ACPI code - use system_percpu_wq instead of system_wq in GPIO character device code New drivers: - add a driver for the QIXIS FPGA GPIO controller Driver improvements: - use modernized variants of power management macros across a wide array of drivers in order to avoid having to use the __maybe_unused attribute - convert gpio-elkhartlake and reset-gpio to using the auxiliary bus instead of the platform bus as they are not really described in firmware - use lock guards and update symbol prefixes in gpio-mmio - support the bryx radio interface kit in gpio-mpsse + refactor the driver - use software nodes for configuring the reset-gpio driver, including setting up the reference to the shared "reset" pin - check and propagate the return value of gpiod_set_value() to user-space in gpio-virtuser (this was previously not possible as this function returned void) - extend the gpio-regmap helper with more features (bypass cache for aliased inputs, force writes for aliased data registers, add a new configuration parameter) - remove unneeded includes from gpio-aspeed and gpio-latch - add support for Tegra410 to gpio-tegra186 - replace PCI-specific PM with generic device-level PM in gpio-bt8xx - use dynamic GPIO range allocation in gpio-loongson-64bit - improve handling of level-triggered interrupts in gpio-pca953x - add suspend/resume support to gpio-fxl6408 - add support for more models to gpio-menz127 - optimize gpio-mvebu interrupt handling by avoiding unnecessary calls to mvebu_gpio_irq_handler() - make locking more consistent in gpio-grgpio Device-tree bindings: - document new NXP and Microchip models Documentation: - add a comprehensive compatibility and feature list for gpio-pca953x, which is a great addition as it's probably the most commonly used GPIO expander driver - kernel-doc tweaks Late fixes: - use BYTE_CTRL_MODE for 2K2000/3000 models in gpio-loongson" * tag 'gpio-updates-for-v6.19-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brgl/linux: (80 commits) gpio: loongson: Switch 2K2000/3000 GPIO to BYTE_CTRL_MODE gpio: regmap: fix kernel-doc notation gpio: shared: fix a deadlock gpio: shared-proxy: set suppress_bind_attrs gpio: shared: ignore GPIO hogs when traversing the device tree gpio: shared: ignore special __symbols__ node when traversing device tree gpio: shared: handle the reset-gpios corner case gpio: zynq: Use modern PM macros gpio: xilinx: Use modern PM macros gpio: xgene: Use modern PM macros gpio: uniphier: Use modern PM macros gpio: tqmx86: Use modern PM macros gpio: pch: Use modern PM macros gpio: omap: Use modern PM macros gpio: msc313: Use modern PM macros gpio: mlxbf2: Use modern PM macros gpio: ml-ioh: Use modern PM macros gpio: pl061: Use modern PM macros gpio: htc-egpio: Use modern PM macros gpio: brcmstb: Use modern PM macros ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "Core & protocols: - Replace busylock at the Tx queuing layer with a lockless list. Resulting in a 300% (4x) improvement on heavy TX workloads, sending twice the number of packets per second, for half the cpu cycles. - Allow constantly busy flows to migrate to a more suitable CPU/NIC queue. Normally we perform queue re-selection when flow comes out of idle, but under extreme circumstances the flows may be constantly busy. Add sysctl to allow periodic rehashing even if it'd risk packet reordering. - Optimize the NAPI skb cache, make it larger, use it in more paths. - Attempt returning Tx skbs to the originating CPU (like we already did for Rx skbs). - Various data structure layout and prefetch optimizations from Eric. - Remove ktime_get() from the recvmsg() fast path, ktime_get() is sadly quite expensive on recent AMD machines. - Extend threaded NAPI polling to allow the kthread busy poll for packets. - Make MPTCP use Rx backlog processing. This lowers the lock pressure, improving the Rx performance. - Support memcg accounting of MPTCP socket memory. - Allow admin to opt sockets out of global protocol memory accounting (using a sysctl or BPF-based policy). The global limits are a poor fit for modern container workloads, where limits are imposed using cgroups. - Improve heuristics for when to kick off AF_UNIX garbage collection. - Allow users to control TCP SACK compression, and default to 33% of RTT. - Add tcp_rcvbuf_low_rtt sysctl to let datacenter users avoid unnecessarily aggressive rcvbuf growth and overshot when the connection RTT is low. - Preserve skb metadata space across skb_push / skb_pull operations. - Support for IPIP encapsulation in the nftables flowtable offload. - Support appending IP interface information to ICMP messages (RFC 5837). - Support setting max record size in TLS (RFC 8449). - Remove taking rtnl_lock from RTM_GETNEIGHTBL and RTM_SETNEIGHTBL. - Use a dedicated lock (and RCU) in MPLS, instead of rtnl_lock. - Let users configure the number of write buffers in SMC. - Add new struct sockaddr_unsized for sockaddr of unknown length, from Kees. - Some conversions away from the crypto_ahash API, from Eric Biggers. - Some preparations for slimming down struct page. - YAML Netlink protocol spec for WireGuard. - Add a tool on top of YAML Netlink specs/lib for reporting commonly computed derived statistics and summarized system state. Driver API: - Add CAN XL support to the CAN Netlink interface. - Add uAPI for reporting PHY Mean Square Error (MSE) diagnostics, as defined by the OPEN Alliance's "Advanced diagnostic features for 100BASE-T1 automotive Ethernet PHYs" specification. - Add DPLL phase-adjust-gran pin attribute (and implement it in zl3073x). - Refactor xfrm_input lock to reduce contention when NIC offloads IPsec and performs RSS. - Add info to devlink params whether the current setting is the default or a user override. Allow resetting back to default. - Add standard device stats for PSP crypto offload. - Leverage DSA frame broadcast to implement simple HSR frame duplication for a lot of switches without dedicated HSR offload. - Add uAPI defines for 1.6Tbps link modes. Device drivers: - Add Motorcomm YT921x gigabit Ethernet switch support. - Add MUCSE driver for N500/N210 1GbE NIC series. - Convert drivers to support dedicated ops for timestamping control, and away from the direct IOCTL handling. While at it support GET operations for PHY timestamping. - Add (and convert most drivers to) a dedicated ethtool callback for reading the Rx ring count. - Significant refactoring efforts in the STMMAC driver, which supports Synopsys turn-key MAC IP integrated into a ton of SoCs. - Ethernet high-speed NICs: - Broadcom (bnxt): - support PPS in/out on all pins - Intel (100G, ice, idpf): - ice: implement standard ethtool and timestamping stats - i40e: support setting the max number of MAC addresses per VF -

This makes them correspond to BEGIN_RECOVERY uevents (Lukas Wunner) - Align AER with EEH by calling err_handler.error_detected() callbacks to notify drivers if error recovery fails (Lukas Wunner) - Align AER with EEH by restoring device error_state to pci_channel_io_normal before the err_handler.slot_reset() callback. This is earlier than before the err_handler.resume() callback (Lukas Wunner) - Emit a BEGIN_RECOVERY uevent when driver's err_handler.error_detected() requests a reset, as well as when it says recovery is complete or can be done without a reset (Niklas Schnelle) - Align s390 with AER and EEH by emitting uevents during error recovery (Niklas Schnelle) - Align EEH with AER and s390 by emitting BEGIN_RECOVERY, SUCCESSFUL_RECOVERY, or FAILED_RECOVERY uevents depending on the result of err_handler.error_detected() (Niklas Schnelle) - Fix a NULL pointer dereference in aer_ratelimit() when ACPI GHES error information identifies a device without an AER Capability (Breno Leitao) - Update error decoding and TLP Log printing for new errors in current PCIe base spec (Lukas Wunner) - Update error recovery documentation to match the current code and use consistent nomenclature (Lukas Wunner) ASPM: - Enable all ClockPM and ASPM states for devicetree platforms, since there's typically no firmware that enables ASPM This is a risky change that may uncover hardware or configuration defects at boot-time rather than when users enable ASPM via sysfs later. Booting with "pcie_aspm=off" prevents this enabling (Manivannan Sadhasivam) - Remove the qcom code that enabled ASPM (Manivannan Sadhasivam) Power management: - If a device has already been disconnected, e.g., by a hotplug removal, don't bother trying to resume it to D0 when detaching the driver. This avoids annoying "Unable to change power state from D3cold to D0" messages (Mario Limonciello) - Ensure devices are powered up before config reads for 'max_link_width', 'current_link_speed', 'current_link_width', 'secondary_bus_number', and 'subordinate_bus_number' sysfs files. This prevents using invalid data (~0) in drivers or lspci and, depending on how the PCIe controller reports errors, may avoid error interrupts or crashes (Brian Norris) Virtualization: - Add rescan/remove locking when enabling/disabling SR-IOV, which avoids list corruption on s390, where disabling SR-IOV also generates hotplug events (Niklas Schnelle) Peer-to-peer DMA: - Free struct p2p_pgmap, not a member within it, in the pci_p2pdma_add_resource() error path (Sungho Kim) Endpoint framework: - Document sysfs interface for BAR assignment of vNTB endpoint functions (Jerome Brunet) - Fix array underflow in endpoint BAR test case (Dan Carpenter) - Skip endpoint IRQ test if the IRQ is out of range to avoid false errors (Christian Bruel) - Fix endpoint test case for controllers with fixed-size BARs smaller than requested by the test (Marek Vasut) -

The pin controller core is now "aware" if a pin is in GPIO mode if the callback is implemented in the driver, and can thus be marked as "strict", i.e. disallowing simultaneous use of a line as GPIO and another function such as I2C. This is enabled in the Qualcomm TLMM driver and also implemeted from day 1 in the new Broadcom STB driver - Rename the pin config option PIN_CONFIG_OUTPUT to PIN_CONFIG_LEVEL to better describe what the config is doing, as well as making it more intuitive what shall be returned when reading this property New drivers: - Qualcomm SDM660 LPASS LPI TLMM pin controller subdriver - Qualcomm Glymur family pin controller driver - Broadcom STB family pin controller driver - Tegra186 pin controller driver - AAEON UP pin controller support. This is some special pin controller that works as an external advanced line MUX and amplifier for signals from an Intel SoC. A cooperative effort with the GPIO maintainer was needed to reach a solution where we reuse code from the GPIO aggregator/forwarder driver - Renesas RZ/T2H and RZ/N2H pin controller support - Axis ARTPEC-8 subdriver for the Samsung pin controller driver Improvements: - Output enable (OEN) support in the Renesas RZG2L driver - Properly support bias pull up/down in the pinctrl-single driver - Move over all GPIO portions using generic MMIO GPIO to the new generic GPIO chip management which has a nice and separate API - Proper DT bindings for some older Broadcom SoCs - External GPIO (EGPIO) support in the Qualcomm SM8250 Deleted code: - Dropped the now unused Samsung S3C24xx drivers" * tag 'pinctrl-v6.18-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-pinctrl: (75 commits) pinctrl: use more common syntax for compound literals pinctrl: Simplify printks with pOF format pinctrl: qcom: Add SDM660 LPASS LPI TLMM dt-bindings: pinctrl: qcom: Add SDM660 LPI pinctrl pinctrl: qcom: lpass-lpi: Add ability to use custom pin offsets pinctrl: qcom: Add glymur pinctrl driver dt-bindings: pinctrl: qcom: Add Glymur pinctrl pinctrl: qcom: sm8250: Add egpio support pinctrl: generic: rename PIN_CONFIG_OUTPUT to LEVEL pinctrl: keembay: fix double free in keembay_build_functions() pinctrl: spacemit: fix typo in PRI_TDI pin name pinctrl: eswin: Fix regulator error check and Kconfig dependency pinctrl: bcm: Add STB family pin controller driver dt-bindings: pinctrl: Add support for Broadcom STB pin controller pinctrl: qcom: make the pinmuxing strict pinctrl: qcom: mark the `gpio` and `egpio` pins function as non-strict functions pinctrl: qcom: add infrastructure for marking pin functions as GPIOs pinctrl: allow to mark pin functions as requestable GPIOs pinctrl: qcom: use generic pin function helpers pinctrl: make struct pinfunction a pointer in struct function_desc ...

2025-09-08pinctrl: generic: rename PIN_CONFIG_OUTPUT to LEVELLinus Walleij
This generic pin config property is confusingly named so let's rename it to make things clearer. There are already drivers in the tree that use PIN_CONFIG_OUTPUT to *read* the value of an output driven pin, which is a big semantic confusion for the head: are we then reading the setting of the output or the actual value/level that is put out on the pin? We already have PIN_CONFIG_OUTPUT_ENABLE that turns on driver buffers for output, so this can by logical conclusion only drive the voltage level if it should be any different. But if we read the pin, are we then reading the *setting* of the output value or the *actual* value we can see on the line? If the pin has not first been set into output mode with PIN_CONFIG_OUTPUT_ENABLE, but is instead in some input mode or tristate, what will reading this property actually return? Reading the current users reading this property it is clear that what we read is the logical level of the pin as 0 or 1 depending on if it is low or high. Rename it to PIN_CONFIG_LEVEL so it is crystal clear that we set or read the voltage level of the pin and nothing else.

2025-08-20docs: initramfs: file data alignment via name paddingDavid Disseldorp
The existing cpio extraction logic reads (maximum PATH_MAX) name_len bytes from the archive into the collected name buffer and ensures that the trailing byte is a null-terminator. This allows the actual file name to be shorter than name_len, with the name string simply zero-terminated prior to the last byte. Initramfs generators, such as dracut-cpio[1], can take advantage of name zero-padding to align file data segments within the archive to filesystem block boundaries. Block boundary alignment may allow the copy_file_range syscall to reflink archive source and destination extents.
