     delightful consequence of adding some 600 warnings to the docs

     addressed almost all of those, bringing the documentation back into
     sync with the code. The fixes are going through the appropriate
     maintainer trees

Pull SoC DT updates from Arnd Bergmann:
 "There is one new SoC for each 32-bit Arm and 64-bit RISC-V, but both
  the Rockchips rv1109 and Sopgho CV1812H are just minor variations of
  already supported chips.

  The other six new SoCs are all part of existing arm64 families, but
  are somewhat more interesting:

   - Samsung ExynosAutov920 is an automotive chip, and the first one we
     support based on the Cortex-A78AE core with lockstep mode.

   - Google gs101 (Tensor G1) is the chip used in a number of Pixel
     phones, and is grouped with Samsung Exynos here since it is based
     on the same SoC design, sharing most of its IP blocks with that
     series.

   - MediaTek MT8188 is a new chip used for mid-range tablets and
     Chromebooks, using two Cortex-A78 cores where the older MT8195 had
     four of them.

   - Qualcomm SM8650 (Snapdragon 8 Gen 3) is their current top range
     phone SoC and the first supported chip based on Cortex-X4,
     Cortex-A720 and Cortex-A520.

   - Qualcomm X1E80100 (Snapdragon X Elite) in turn is the latest Laptop
     chip using the custom Oryon cores.

   - Unisoc UMS9620 (Tanggula 7 series) is a 5G phone SoC based on
     Cortex-A76 and Cortex-A55

  In terms of boards, we have

   - Five old Microsoft Lumia phones, the HTC One Mini 2, Motorola Moto
     G 4G, and Huawei Honor 5X/GR5, all based on Snapdragon SoCs.

   - Multiple Rockchips mobile gaming systems (Anbernic RG351V, Powkiddy
     RK2023, Powkiddy X55) along with the Sonoff iHost Smart Home Hub
     and a few Rockchips SBCs

   - Some ComXpress boards based on Marvell CN913x, which is the
     follow-up to Armada 7xxx/8xxx.

   - Six new industrial/embedded boards based on NXP i.MX8 and i.MX9

   - Mediatek MT8183 based Chromebooks from Lenovo, Asus and Acer.

   - Toradex Verdin AM62 Mallow carrier for TI AM62

   - Huashan Pi board based on the SophGo CV1812H RISC-V chip

   - Two boards based on Allwinner H616/H618

   - A number of reference boards for various added SoCs from Qualcomm,
     Mediatek, Google, Samsung, NXP and Spreadtrum

  As usual, there are cleanups and warning fixes across all platforms as
  well as added features for several of them"

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "The most interesting thing is probably the networking structs
  reorganization and a significant amount of changes is around
  self-tests.

  Core & protocols:

   - Analyze and reorganize core networking structs (socks, netdev,
     netns, mibs) to optimize cacheline consumption and set up build
     time warnings to safeguard against future header changes

     This improves TCP performances with many concurrent connections up
     to 40%

   - Add page-pool netlink-based introspection, exposing the memory
     usage and recycling stats. This helps indentify bad PP users and
     possible leaks

   - Refine TCP/DCCP source port selection to no longer favor even
     source port at connect() time when IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE is set. This
     lowers the time taken by connect() for hosts having many active
     connections to the same destination

   - Refactor the TCP bind conflict code, shrinking related socket
     structs

   - Refactor TCP SYN-Cookie handling, as a preparation step to allow
     arbitrary SYN-Cookie processing via eBPF

   - Tune optmem_max for 0-copy usage, increasing the default value to
     128KB and namespecifying it

   - Allow coalescing for cloned skbs coming from page pools, improving
     RX performances with some common configurations

   - Reduce extension header parsing overhead at GRO time

   - Add bridge MDB bulk deletion support, allowing user-space to
     request the deletion of matching entries

   - Reorder nftables struct members, to keep data accessed by the
     datapath first

   - Introduce TC block ports tracking and use. This allows supporting
     multicast-like behavior at the TC layer

   - Remove UAPI support for retired TC qdiscs (dsmark, CBQ and ATM) and
     classifiers (RSVP and tcindex)

   - More data-race annotations

   - Extend the diag interface to dump TCP bound-only sockets

   - Conditional notification of events for TC qdisc class and actions

   - Support for WPAN dynamic associations with nearby devices, to form
     a sub-network using a specific PAN ID

   - Implement SMCv2.1 virtual ISM device support

   - Add support for Batman-avd mulicast packet type

  BPF:

   - Tons of verifier improvements:
       - BPF register bounds logic and range support along with a large
         test suite
       - log improvements
       - complete precision tracking support for register spills
       - track aligned STACK_ZERO cases as imprecise spilled registers.
         This improves the verifier "instructions processed" metric from
         single digit to 50-60% for some programs
       - support for user's global BPF subprogram arguments with few
         commonly requested annotations for a better developer
         experience
       - support tracking of BPF_JNE which helps cases when the compiler
         transforms (unsigned) "a > 0" into "if a == 0 goto xxx" and the
         like
       - several fixes

   - Add initial TX metadata implementation for AF_XDP with support in
     mlx5 and stmmac drivers. Two types of offloads are supported right
     now, that is, TX timestamp and TX checksum offload

   - Fix kCFI bugs in BPF all forms of indirect calls from BPF into
     kernel and from kernel into BPF work with CFI enabled. This allows
     BPF to work with CONFIG_FINEIBT=y

   - Change BPF verifier logic to validate global subprograms lazily
     instead of unconditionally before the main program, so they can be
     guarded using BPF CO-RE techniques

   - Support uid/gid options when mounting bpffs

   - Add a new kfunc which acquires the associated cgroup of a task
     within a specific cgroup v1 hierarchy where the latter is
     identified by its id

   - Extend verifier to allow bpf_refcount_acquire() of a map value
     field obtained via direct load which is a use-case needed in
     sched_ext

   - Add BPF link_info support for uprobe multi link along with bpftool
     integration for the latter

   - Support for VLAN tag in XDP hints

   - Remove deprecated bpfilter kernel leftovers given the project is
     developed in user-space (https://github.com/facebook/bpfilter)

  Misc:

   - Support for parellel TC self-tests execution

   - Increase MPTCP self-tests coverage

   - Updated the bridge documentation, including several so-far
     undocumented features

   - Convert all the net self-tests to run in unique netns, to avoid
     random failures due to conflict and allow concurrent runs

   - Add TCP-AO self-tests

   - Add kunit tests for both cfg80211 and mac80211

   - Autogenerate Netlink families documentation from YAML spec

   - Add yml-gen support for fixed headers and recursive nests, the tool
     can now generate user-space code for all genetlink families for
     which we have specs

   - A bunch of additional module descriptions fixes

   - Catch incorrect freeing of pages belonging to a page pool

  Driver API:

   - Rust abstractions for network PHY drivers; do not cover yet the
     full C API, but already allow implementing functional PHY drivers
     in rust

   - Introduce queue and NAPI support in the netdev Netlink interface,
     allowing complete access to the device <> NAPIs <> queues
     relationship

   - Introduce notifications filtering for devlink to allow control
     application scale to thousands of instances

   - Improve PHY validation, requesting rate matching information for
     each ethtool link mode supported by both the PHY and host

   - Add support for ethtool symmetric-xor RSS hash

   - ACPI based Wifi band RFI (WBRF) mitigation feature for the AMD
     platform

Pull s390 updates from Alexander Gordeev:

 - Add machine variable capacity information to /proc/sysinfo.

 - Limit the waste of page tables and always align vmalloc area size and
   base address on segment boundary.

 - Fix a memory leak when an attempt to register interruption sub class
   (ISC) for the adjunct-processor (AP) guest failed.

 - Reset response code AP_RESPONSE_INVALID_GISA to understandable by
   guest AP_RESPONSE_INVALID_ADDRESS in response to a failed
   interruption sub class (ISC) registration attempt.

 - Improve reaction to adjunct-processor (AP)
   AP_RESPONSE_OTHERWISE_CHANGED response code when enabling interrupts
   on behalf of a guest.

 - Fix incorrect sysfs 'status' attribute of adjunct-processor (AP)
   queue device bound to the vfio_ap device driver when the mediated
   device is attached to a guest, but the queue device is not passed
   through.

 - Rework struct ap_card to hold the whole adjunct-processor (AP) card
   hardware information. As result, all the ugly bit checks are replaced
   by simple evaluations of the required bit fields.

 - Improve handling of some weird scenarios between service element (SE)
   host and SE guest with adjunct-processor (AP) pass-through support.

 - Change local_ctl_set_bit() and local_ctl_clear_bit() so they return
   the previous value of the to be changed control register. This is
   useful if a bit is only changed temporarily and the previous content
   needs to be restored.

 - The kernel starts with machine checks disabled and is expected to
   enable it once trap_init() is called. However the implementation
   allows machine checks early. Consistently enable it in trap_init()
   only.

 - local_mcck_disable() and local_mcck_enable() assume that machine
   checks are always enabled. Instead implement and use
   local_mcck_save() and local_mcck_restore() to disable machine checks
   and restore the previous state.

 - Modification of floating point control (FPC) register of a traced
   process using ptrace interface may lead to corruption of the FPC
   register of the tracing process. Fix this.

 - kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_set_fpu() allows to set the floating point
   control (FPC) register in vCPU, but may lead to corruption of the FPC
   register of the host process. Fix this.

 - Use READ_ONCE() to read a vCPU floating point register value from the
   memory mapped area. This avoids that, depending on code generation, a
   different value is tested for validity than the one that is used.

 - Get rid of test_fp_ctl(), since it is quite subtle to use it
   correctly. Instead copy a new floating point control register value
   into its save area and test the validity of the new value when
   loading it.

 - Remove superfluous save_fpu_regs() call.

 - Remove s390 support for ARCH_WANTS_DYNAMIC_TASK_STRUCT. All machines
   provide the vector facility since many years and the need to make the
   task structure size dependent on the vector facility does not exist.

 - Remove the "novx" kernel command line option, as the vector code runs
   without any problems since many years.

 - Add the vector facility to the z13 architecture level set (ALS). All
   hypervisors support the vector facility since many years. This allows
   compile time optimizations of the kernel.

 - Get rid of MACHINE_HAS_VX and replace it with cpu_has_vx(). As
   result, the compiled code will have less runtime checks and less
   code.

 - Convert pgste_get_lock() and pgste_set_unlock() ASM inlines to C.

 - Convert the struct subchannel spinlock from pointer to member.

 "A series from Baoquan He cleans up the asm-generic/io.h to remove the
  ioremap_uc() definition from everything except x86, which still needs
  it for pre-PAT systems. This series notably contains a patch from

Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
 "To help make the move of sysctls out of kernel/sysctl.c not incur a
  size penalty sysctl has been changed to allow us to not require the
  sentinel, the final empty element on the sysctl array. Joel Granados
  has been doing all this work.

  In the v6.6 kernel we got the major infrastructure changes required to
  support this. For v6.7 we had all arch/ and drivers/ modified to
  remove the sentinel. For v6.8-rc1 we get a few more updates for fs/
  directory only.

  The kernel/ directory is left but we'll save that for v6.9-rc1 as
  those patches are still being reviewed. After that we then can expect
  also the removal of the no longer needed check for procname == NULL.

  Let us recap the purpose of this work:

   - this helps reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run
     time memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array

   - the extra 64-byte penalty is no longer inncurred now when we move
     sysctls out from kernel/sysctl.c to their own files

  Thomas Weißschuh also sent a few cleanups, for v6.9-rc1 we expect to
  see further work by Thomas Weißschuh with the constificatin of the
  struct ctl_table.

  Due to Joel Granados's work, and to help bring in new blood, I have
  suggested for him to become a maintainer and he's accepted. So for
  v6.9-rc1 I look forward to seeing him sent you a pull request for
  further sysctl changes. This also removes Iurii Zaikin as a maintainer
  as he has moved on to other projects and has had no time to help at
  all"

Pull bcachefs updates from Kent Overstreet:

 - btree write buffer rewrite: instead of adding keys to the btree write
   buffer at transaction commit time, we now journal them with a
   different journal entry type and copy them from the journal to the
   write buffer just prior to journal write.

   This reduces the number of atomic operations on shared cachelines in
   the transaction commit path and is a signicant performance
   improvement on some workloads: multithreaded 4k random writes went
   from ~650k iops to ~850k iops.

 - Bring back optimistic spinning for six locks: the new implementation
   doesn't use osq locks; instead we add to the lock waitlist as normal,
   and then spin on the lock_acquired bit in the waitlist entry, _not_
   the lock itself.

 - New ioctls:

    - BCH_IOCTL_DEV_USAGE_V2, which allows for new data types

    - BCH_IOCTL_OFFLINE_FSCK, which runs the kernel implementation of
      fsck but without mounting: useful for transparently using the
      kernel version of fsck from 'bcachefs fsck' when the kernel
      version is a better match for the on disk filesystem.

    - BCH_IOCTL_ONLINE_FSCK: online fsck. Not all passes are supported
      yet, but the passes that are supported are fully featured - errors
      may be corrected as normal.

   The new ioctls use the new 'thread_with_file' abstraction for kicking
   off a kthread that's tied to a file descriptor returned to userspace
   via the ioctl.

 - btree_paths within a btree_trans are now dynamically growable,
   instead of being limited to 64. This is important for the
   check_directory_structure phase of fsck, and also fixes some issues
   we were having with btree path overflow in the reflink btree.

 - Trigger refactoring; prep work for the upcoming disk space accounting

Pull unicode updates from Gabriel Krisman Bertazi:
 "Other than the update to MAINTAINERS, this PR has only a fix to stop
  ecryptfs from inadvertently mounting case-insensitive filesystems that
  it cannot handle, which would otherwise caused post-mount failures"

* tag 'unicode-next-6.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/krisman/unicode:
  MAINTAINERS: update unicode maintainer e-mail address
  ecryptfs: Reject casefold directory inodes

Fix the size check added to dns_resolver_preparse() for the V1 server-list
header so that it doesn't give EINVAL if the size supplied is the same as
the size of the header struct (which should be valid).

This can be tested with:

        echo -n -e '\0\0\01\xff\0\0' | keyctl padd dns_resolver desc @p

which will give "add_key: Invalid argument" without this fix.
