      Merge tag 'sound-6.12-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound · 2f27fce6
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
       "A fairly big update at this time, both in core and driver sides.
      
        The core received rewrites in PCM buffer allocation handling and
        locking optimizations, PCM rate updates followed by lots of cleanups.
      
        In ASoC side, the legacy Intel drivers have been deprecated by AVS
        drivers which leaded to the significant amount of code reduction.
        SoundWire driver updates and other cleanups contributed more code
        reduction, too.
      
        USB-audio driver received a large cleanup of its big quirk table, and
        the old snd_print*() API usages in many legacy drivers are replaced
        with the standard print API.
      
        Here are some highlights:
      
        Core:
         - More optimized locking in ALSA control code
         - Rewrites of memalloc helpers for better DMA API usage
         - Drop of obsoleted vmalloc PCM buffer helper API
         - Continued MIDI2 UMP updates
         - Support of a new user-space driven timer instance
         - Update for more PCM support rates and cleanups
         - Xrun counter report in the proc files
      
        ASoC:
         - Continued simplification and cleanup works for ASoC
         - Extensive cleanups and refactoring of the Soundwire drivers
         - Removal of Intel machine support obsoleted by the AVS driver
         - Lots of DT schema conversions
         - Machine support for many AMD and Intel x86 platforms
         - Support for AMD ACP 7.1, Mediatek MT6367 and MT8365, Realtek
           RTL1320 SoundWire and rev C, and Texas Instruments TAS2563
      
        USB-audio:
         - Add support of multiple control interfaces
         - A large rewrite of quirk table with macros
         - Support for RME Digiface USB
      
        HD-audio:
         - Cleanup of quirk code for Samsung Galaxy laptops
         - Clean up of detection of Cirrus codecs
         - C-Media CM9825 HD-audio codec support
      
        Others:
         - Rewrites to standard print API in a lot of legacy drivers"

       - Make LAM enablement safe vs. kernel threads using a process mm
         temporarily as switching back to the process would not update CR3 and
         therefore not enable LAM causing faults in user space when using
         tagged pointers. Cure it by synchronizing LAM enablement via IPIs to
         all CPUs which use the related mm.
      
       - Cure a LAM harmless inconsistency between CR3 and the state during
         context switch. It's both confusing and prone to lead to real bugs
      
       - Handle alt stack handling for threads which run with a non-zero
         protection key. The non-zero key prevents the kernel to access the
         alternate stack. Cure it by temporarily enabling all protection keys
         for the alternate stack setup/restore operations.
      
       - Provide a EFI config table identity mapping for kexec kernel to
         prevent kexec fails because the new kernel cannot access the config
         table array
      
       - Use GB pages only when a full GB is mapped in the identity map as
         otherwise the CPU can speculate into reserved areas after the end of
         memory which causes malfunction on UV systems.
      
       - Remove the noisy and pointless SRAT table dump during boot
      
       - Use is_ioremap_addr() for iounmap() address range checks instead of

      Pull x86 APIC updates from Thomas Gleixner:
      
       - Handle an allocation failure in the IO/APIC code gracefully instead
         of crashing the machine.
      
       - Remove support for APIC local destination mode on 64bit
      
         Logical destination mode of the local APIC is used for systems with
         up to 8 CPUs. It has an advantage over physical destination mode as
         it allows to target multiple CPUs at once with IPIs. That advantage
         was definitely worth it when systems with up to 8 CPUs were state of
         the art for servers and workstations, but that's history.
      
         In the recent past there were quite some reports of new laptops
         failing to boot with logical destination mode, but they work fine
         with physical destination mode. That's not a suprise because physical
         destination mode is guaranteed to work as it's the only way to get a
         CPU up and running via the INIT/INIT/STARTUP sequence. Some of the
         affected systems were cured by BIOS updates, but not all OEMs provide
         them.
      
         As the number of CPUs keep increasing, logical destination mode
         becomes less used and the benefit for small systems, like laptops, is
         not really worth the trouble. So just remove logical destination mode
         support for 64bit and be done with it.

      Pull SoC driver updates from Arnd Bergmann:
       "The driver updates seem larger this time around, with changes is many
        of the SoC specific drivers, both the custom drivers/soc ones and the
        closely related subsystems (memory, bus, firmware, reset, ...).
      
        The at91 platform gains support for sam9x7 chips in the soc and power
        management code. This is the latest variant of one of the oldest still
        supported SoC families, using the ARM9 (ARMv5) core.
      
        As usual, the qualcomm snapdragon platform gets a ton of updates in
        many of their drivers to add more features and additional SoC support.
        Most of these are somewhat firmware related as the platform has a
        number of firmware based interfaces to the kernel. A notable addition
        here is the inclusion of trace events to two of these drivers.
      
        Herve Codina and Christophe Leroy are now sending updates for
        drivers/soc/fsl/ code through the SoC tree, this contains both PowerPC
        and Arm specific platforms and has previously been problematic to
        maintain. The first update here contains support for newer PowerPC
        variants and some cleanups.
      
        The turris mox firmware driver has a number of updates, mostly
        cleanups.
      
        The Arm SCMI firmware driver gets a major rework to modularize the
        existing code into separately loadable drivers for the various
        transports, the addition of custom NXP i.MX9 interfaces and a number
        of smaller updates.
      
        The Arm FF-A firmware driver gets a feature update to support the v1.2
        version of the specification.
      
        The reset controller drivers have some smaller cleanups and a newly
        added driver for the Intel/Mobileye EyeQ5/EyeQ6 MIPS SoCs.
      
        The memory controller drivers get some cleanups and refactoring for
        Tegra, TI, Freescale/NXP and a couple more platforms.

      Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
       "This is the "last" part of the support for the new nbcon consoles.
        Where "nbcon" stays for "No Big console lock CONsoles" aka not under
        the console_lock.
      
        New callbacks are added to struct console:
      
         - write_thread() for flushing nbcon consoles in task context.
      
         - write_atomic() for flushing nbcon consoles in atomic context,
           including NMI.
      
         - con->device_lock() and device_unlock() for taking the driver
           specific lock, for example, port->lock.
      
        New printk-specific kthreads are created:
      
         - per-console kthreads which get responsible for flushing normal
           priority messages on nbcon consoles.
      
         - thread which gets responsible for flushing normal priority messages
           on all consoles when CONFIG_RT enabled.
      
        The new callbacks are called under a special per-console lock which
        has already been added back in v6.7. It allows to distinguish three
        severities: normal, emergency, and panic. A context with a higher
        priority could take over the ownership when it is safe even in the
        middle of handling a record. The panic context could do it even when
        it is not safe. But it is allowed only for the final desperate flush
        before entering the infinite loop.
      
        The new lock helps to flush the messages directly in emergency and
        panic contexts. But it is not enough in all situations:
      
         - console_lock() is still need for synchronization against boot
           consoles.
      
         - con->device_lock() is need for synchronization against other
           operations on the same HW, e.g. serial port speed setting,
           non-printk related read/write.
      
        The dependency on con->device_lock() is mutual. Any code taking the
        driver specific lock has to acquire the related nbcon console context
        as well. For example, see the new uart_port_lock() API. It provides
        the necessary synchronization against emergency and panic contexts
        where the messages are flushed only under the new per-console lock.
      
        Maybe surprisingly, a quite tricky part is the decision how to flush
        the consoles in various situations. It has to take into account:
      
         - message priority:    normal, emergency, panic
      
         - scheduling context:  task, atomic, deferred_legacy
      
         - registered consoles: boot, legacy, nbcon
      
         - threads are running: early boot, suspend, shutdown, panic
      
         - caller:              printk(), pr_flush(), printk_flush_in_panic(),
                                console_unlock(), console_start(), ...
      
        The primary decision is made in printk_get_console_flush_type(). It
        creates a hint what the caller should do:
      
         - flush nbcon consoles directly or via the kthread
      
         - call the legacy loop (console_unlock()) directly or via irq_work
      
        The existing behavior is preserved for the legacy consoles. The only
        exception is that they are not longer flushed directly from printk()
        in panic() before CPUs are stopped. But this blocking happens only
        when at least one nbcon console is registered. The motivation is to
        increase a chance to produce the crash dump. They legacy consoles
        might create a deadlock in compare with nbcon consoles. The nbcon
        console should allow to see the messages even when the crash dump
        fails.
      
        There are three possible ways how nbcon consoles are flushed:
      
         - The per-nbcon-console kthread is responsible for flushing messages
           added with the normal priority. This is the default mode.
      
         - The legacy loop, aka console_unlock(), is used when there is still
           a boot console registered. There is no easy way how to match an
           early console driver with a nbcon console driver. And the
           console_lock() provides the only reliable serialization at the
           moment.
      
           The legacy loop uses either con->write_atomic() or
           con->write_thread() callbacks depending on whether it is allowed to
           schedule. The atomic variant has to be used from printk().
      
         - In other situations, the messages are flushed directly using
           write_atomic() which can be called in any context, including NMI.
           It is primary needed during early boot or shutdown, in emergency
           situations, and panic.
      
        The emergency priority is used by a code called within
        nbcon_cpu_emergency_enter()/exit(). At the moment, it is used in four
        situations: WARN(), Oops, lockdep, and RCU stall reports.
      
        Finally, there is no nbcon console at the moment. It means that the
        changes should _not_ modify the existing behavior. The only exception
        is CONFIG_RT which would force offloading the legacy loop, for normal
        priority context, into the dedicated kthread"

         - Remove the historical extra jiffie in msleep()
      
           msleep() adds an extra jiffie to the timeout value to ensure
           minimal sleep time. The timer wheel ensures minimal sleep time
           since the large rewrite to a non-cascading wheel, but the extra
           jiffie in msleep() remained unnoticed. Remove it.
      
         - Make the timer slack handling correct for realtime tasks.
      
           The procfs interface is inconsistent and does neither reflect
           reality nor conforms to the man page. Show the correct 0 slack for
           real time tasks and enforce it at the core level instead of having

       "Core:
      
         - Remove a global lock in the affinity setting code
      
           The lock protects a cpumask for intermediate results and the lock
           causes a bottleneck on simultaneous start of multiple virtual
           machines. Replace the lock and the static cpumask with a per CPU
           cpumask which is nicely serialized by raw spinlock held when
           executing this code.
      
         - Provide support for giving a suffix to interrupt domain names.
      
           That's required to support devices with subfunctions so that the
           domain names are distinct even if they originate from the same
           device node.

      Pull lsm updates from Paul Moore:
      
       - Move the LSM framework to static calls
      
         This transitions the vast majority of the LSM callbacks into static
         calls. Those callbacks which haven't been converted were left as-is
         due to the general ugliness of the changes required to support the
         static call conversion; we can revisit those callbacks at a future
         date.
      
       - Add the Integrity Policy Enforcement (IPE) LSM
      
         This adds a new LSM, Integrity Policy Enforcement (IPE). There is
         plenty of documentation about IPE in this patches, so I'll refrain
         from going into too much detail here, but the basic motivation behind
         IPE is to provide a mechanism such that administrators can restrict
         execution to only those binaries which come from integrity protected
         storage, e.g. a dm-verity protected filesystem. You will notice that
         IPE requires additional LSM hooks in the initramfs, dm-verity, and
         fs-verity code, with the associated patches carrying ACK/review tags
         from the associated maintainers. We couldn't find an obvious
         maintainer for the initramfs code, but the IPE patchset has been
         widely posted over several years.
      
         Both Deven Bowers and Fan Wu have contributed to IPE's development
         over the past several years, with Fan Wu agreeing to serve as the IPE
         maintainer moving forward. Once IPE is accepted into your tree, I'll
         start working with Fan to ensure he has the necessary accounts, keys,
         etc. so that he can start submitting IPE pull requests to you
         directly during the next merge window.
      
       - Move the lifecycle management of the LSM blobs to the LSM framework
      
         Management of the LSM blobs (the LSM state buffers attached to
         various kernel structs, typically via a void pointer named "security"
         or similar) has been mixed, some blobs were allocated/managed by
         individual LSMs, others were managed by the LSM framework itself.
      
         Starting with this pull we move management of all the LSM blobs,
         minus the XFRM blob, into the framework itself, improving consistency
         across LSMs, and reducing the amount of duplicated code across LSMs.
         Due to some additional work required to migrate the XFRM blob, it has
         been left as a todo item for a later date; from a practical
         standpoint this omission should have little impact as only SELinux
         provides a XFRM LSM implementation.
      
       - Fix problems with the LSM's handling of F_SETOWN
      
         The LSM hook for the fcntl(F_SETOWN) operation had a couple of
         problems: it was racy with itself, and it was disconnected from the
         associated DAC related logic in such a way that the LSM state could
         be updated in cases where the DAC state would not. We fix both of
         these problems by moving the security_file_set_fowner() hook into the
         same section of code where the DAC attributes are updated. Not only
         does this resolve the DAC/LSM synchronization issue, but as that code
         block is protected by a lock, it also resolve the race condition.
      
       - Fix potential problems with the security_inode_free() LSM hook
      
         Due to use of RCU to protect inodes and the placement of the LSM hook
         associated with freeing the inode, there is a bit of a challenge when
         it comes to managing any LSM state associated with an inode. The VFS
         folks are not open to relocating the LSM hook so we have to get
         creative when it comes to releasing an inode's LSM state.
         Traditionally we have used a single LSM callback within the hook that
         is triggered when the inode is "marked for death", but not actually
         released due to RCU.
      
         Unfortunately, this causes problems for LSMs which want to take an
         action when the inode's associated LSM state is actually released; so
         we add an additional LSM callback, inode_free_security_rcu(), that is
         called when the inode's LSM state is released in the RCU free
         callback.
      
       - Refactor two LSM hooks to better fit the LSM return value patterns
      
         The vast majority of the LSM hooks follow the "return 0 on success,
         negative values on failure" pattern, however, there are a small
         handful that have unique return value behaviors which has caused
         confusion in the past and makes it difficult for the BPF verifier to
         properly vet BPF LSM programs. This includes patches to
         convert two of these"special" LSM hooks to the common 0/-ERRNO pattern.
      
       - Various cleanups and improvements
      
         A handful of patches to remove redundant code, better leverage the
         IS_ERR_OR_NULL() helper, add missing "static" markings, and do some
         minor style fixups.

      cifs: Remove redundant setting of NETFS_SREQ_HIT_EOF · 43a64bd0
      David Howells authored
      Fix an upstream merge resolution issue[1].  The NETFS_SREQ_HIT_EOF flag,
      and code to set it, got added via two different paths.  The original path
      saw it added in the netfslib read improvements[2], but it was also added,
      and slightly differently, in a fix that was committed before v6.11:
      
              1da29f2c
              netfs, cifs: Fix handling of short DIO read
      
      However, the code added to smb2_readv_callback() to set the flag in didn't
      get removed when the netfs read improvements series was rebased to take
      account of the cifs fixes.  The proposed merge resolution[2] deleted it
      rather than rebase the patches.
      
      Fix this by removing the redundant lines.  Code to set the bit that derives
      from the fix patch is still there, a few lines above in the source.

      cifs: Fix cifs readv callback merge resolution issue · dc1a456d
      David Howells authored
      Fix an upstream merge resolution issue[1].  Prior to the netfs read
      healpers, the SMB1 asynchronous read callback, cifs_readv_worker()
      performed the cleanup for the operation in the network message processing
      loop, potentially slowing down the processing of incoming SMB messages.
      
      With commit a68c7486 ("cifs: Fix SMB1 readv/writev callback in the same
      way as SMB2/3"), this was moved to a worker thread (as is done in the
      SMB2/3 transport variant).  However, the "was_async" argument to
      netfs_subreq_terminated (which was originally incorrectly "false" got
      flipped to "true" - which was then incorrect because, being in a kernel
      thread, it's not in an async context).
      
      This got corrected in the sample merge[2], but Linus, not unreasonably,
      switched it back to its previous value.
      
      Note that this value tells netfslib whether or not it can run sleepable
      stuff or stuff that takes a long time, such as retries and cleanups, in the
      calling thread, or whether it should offload to a worker thread.
      
      Fix this so that it is "false".  The callback to netfslib in both SMB1 and
      SMB2/3 now gets offloaded from the network message thread to a separate
      worker thread and thus it's fine to do the slow work in this thread.

      Pull io_uring async discard support from Jens Axboe:
       "Sitting on top of both the 6.12 block and io_uring core branches,
        here's support for async discard through io_uring.
      
        This allows applications to issue async discards, rather than rely on
        the blocking sync ioctl discards we already have. The sync support is
        difficult to use outside of idle/cleanup periods.
      
        On a real (but slow) device, testing shows the following results when
        compared to sync discard:
      
      	qd64 sync discard: 21K IOPS, lat avg 3 msec (max 21 msec)
      	qd64 async discard: 76K IOPS, lat avg 845 usec (max 2.2 msec)

      	qd64 async discard: 56K IOPS, lat avg 1153 usec (max 3.6 msec)
      
        and synthetic null_blk testing with the same queue depth and block

      Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:
      
       - NAPI fixes and cleanups (Pavel, Olivier)
      
       - Add support for absolute timeouts (Pavel)
      
       - Fixes for io-wq/sqpoll affinities (Felix)
      
       - Efficiency improvements for dealing with huge pages (Chenliang)
      
       - Support for a minwait mode, where the application essentially has two
         timouts - one smaller one that defines the batch timeout, and the
         overall large one similar to what we had before. This enables
         efficient use of batching based on count + timeout, while still
         working well with periods of less intensive workloads
      
       - Use ITER_UBUF for single segment sends
      
       - Add support for incremental buffer consumption. Right now each
         operation will always consume a full buffer. With incremental
         consumption, a recv/read operation only consumes the part of the
         buffer that it needs to satisfy the operation
      
       - Add support for GCOV for io_uring, to help retain a high coverage of
         test to code ratio
      
       - Fix regression with ocfs2, where an odd -EOPNOTSUPP wasn't correctly
         converted to a blocking retry
      
       - Add support for cloning registered buffers from one ring to another
      
       - Misc cleanups (Anuj, me)
