Pull spi updates from Mark Brown:
 "This release sees some exciting changes from David Lechner which
  implements some optimisations that have been talked about for a long
  time which allows client drivers to pre-prepare SPI messages for
  repeated or low latency use. This lets us move work out of latency
  sensitive paths and avoid repeating work for frequently performed
  operations. As well as being useful in itself this will also be used
  in future to allow controllers to directly trigger SPI operations (eg,
  from interrupts).

  Otherwise this release has mostly been focused on cleanups, plus a
  couple of new devices:

   - Support for pre-optimising messages

   - A big set of updates from Uwe Kleine-König moving drivers to use
     APIs with more modern terminology for controllers

   - Major overhaul of the s3c64xx driver

   - Support for Google GS101 and Samsung Exynos850"

Pull device mapper VDO target from Mike Snitzer:
 "Introduce the DM vdo target which provides block-level deduplication,
  compression, and thin provisioning. Please see:

      Documentation/admin-guide/device-mapper/vdo.rst
      Documentation/admin-guide/device-mapper/vdo-design.rst

  The DM vdo target handles its concurrency by pinning an IO, and
  subsequent stages of handling that IO, to a particular VDO thread.
  This aspect of VDO is "unique" but its overall implementation is very
  tightly coupled to its mostly lockless threading model. As such, VDO
  is not easily changed to use more traditional finer-grained locking
  and Linux workqueues. Please see the "Zones and Threading" section of
  vdo-design.rst

  The DM vdo target has been used in production for many years but has
  seen significant changes over the past ~6 years to prepare it for
  upstream inclusion. The codebase is still large but it is isolated to
  drivers/md/dm-vdo/ and has been made considerably more approachable
  and maintainable.

  Matt Sakai has been added to the MAINTAINERS file to reflect that he
  will send VDO changes upstream through the DM subsystem maintainers"

Pull ata updates from Niklas Cassel:

 - Do not enable LPM for external ports (hotplug-capable ports or eSATA
   ports), as the HBA will not be able to detect hot plug removal events
   when LPM is enabled (me)

 - Drop the board type board_ahci_low_power. Now when we make sure that
   we won't enable LPM for external ports, we can always set the LPM
   policy to CONFIG_SATA_MOBILE_LPM_POLICY for internal ports. There is
   thus no longer any need for the board type board_ahci_low_power, so
   it can be removed. (As before, LPM features not supported by the HBA
   and/or the device will not be enabled, regardless of the LPM policy
   Kconfig) (Mario Limonciello)

   Note that the default CONFIG_SATA_MOBILE_LPM_POLICY value is still 0
   (which will not try to enable any LPM features), however, most Linux
   distributions override this and set it to 3 (Medium power with DIPM).
   We intend to change the default to 3 in the coming cycles, but we
   will wait a cycle or two.

 - Add board type board_ahci_pcs_quirk and make all legacy Intel
   platforms use it. The Intel PCS quirk was being applied to basically
   all Intel platforms, which caused some issues (the device failing to
   come back after a reset), when being applied to newer Intel platforms
   where it shouldn't have been applied.

   New platforms can be added using board type board_ahci, which will
   not have the quirk applied (me)

 - Rename board_ahci_nosntf to board_ahci_pcs_quirk_no_sntf to more
   clearly highlight that it applies two different quirks (me)

 - Modify the ahci_broken_devslp() quirk to be implemented like all the
   other quirks (i.e. define a board type for the quirk) (me)

 - Drop unused board_ahci_noncq board type (me)

 - Rename board_ahci_nomsi to board_ahci_no_msi to match the other board
   types (me)

     when generated by more CPUs in parallel.

   - Ignore non-finalized records during panic(). Messages printed on

     might never be finalized when the CPUs get stopped.

   - Block new printk() calls on non-panic CPUs completely. Backtraces

     just mess information printed by the panic CPU.

Yes, yes, I know the slab people were planning on going slow and letting
every subsystem fight this thing on their own.  But let's just rip off
the band-aid and get it over and done with.  I don't want to see a
number of unnecessary pull requests just to get rid of a flag that no
longer has any meaning.

This was mainly done with a couple of 'sed' scripts and then some manual
cleanup of the end result.

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:

 - Freelist loading optimization (Chengming Zhou)

   When the per-cpu slab is depleted and a new one loaded from the cpu
   partial list, optimize the loading to avoid an irq enable/disable
   cycle. This results in a 3.5% performance improvement on the "perf
   bench sched messaging" test.

 - Kernel boot parameters cleanup after SLAB removal (Xiongwei Song)

   Due to two different main slab implementations we've had boot
   parameters prefixed either slab_ and slub_ with some later becoming
   an alias as both implementations gained the same functionality (i.e.
   slab_nomerge vs slub_nomerge). In order to eventually get rid of the
   implementation-specific names, the canonical and documented
   parameters are now all prefixed slab_ and the slub_ variants become
   deprecated but still working aliases.

 - SLAB_ kmem_cache creation flags cleanup (Vlastimil Babka)

   The flags had hardcoded #define values which became tedious and
   error-prone when adding new ones. Assign the values via an enum that
   takes care of providing unique bit numbers. Also deprecate
   SLAB_MEM_SPREAD which was only used by SLAB, so it's a no-op since
   SLAB removal. Assign it an explicit zero value. The removals of the
   flag usage are handled independently in the respective subsystems,
   with a final removal of any leftover usage planned for the next
   release.

 - Misc cleanups and fixes (Chengming Zhou, Xiaolei Wang, Zheng Yejian)

   Includes removal of unused code or function parameters and a fix of a
   memleak.

Pull lsm updates from Paul Moore:

 - Promote IMA/EVM to a proper LSM

   This is the bulk of the diffstat, and the source of all the changes
   in the VFS code. Prior to the start of the LSM stacking work it was
   important that IMA/EVM were separate from the rest of the LSMs,
   complete with their own hooks, infrastructure, etc. as it was the
   only way to enable IMA/EVM at the same time as a LSM.

   However, now that the bulk of the LSM infrastructure supports
   multiple simultaneous LSMs, we can simplify things greatly by
   bringing IMA/EVM into the LSM infrastructure as proper LSMs. This is
   something I've wanted to see happen for quite some time and Roberto
   was kind enough to put in the work to make it happen.

 - Use the LSM hook default values to simplify the call_int_hook() macro

   Previously the call_int_hook() macro required callers to supply a
   default return value, despite a default value being specified when
   the LSM hook was defined.

   This simplifies the macro by using the defined default return value
   which makes life easier for callers and should also reduce the number
   of return value bugs in the future (we've had a few pop up recently,
   hence this work).

 - Use the KMEM_CACHE() macro instead of kmem_cache_create()

   The guidance appears to be to use the KMEM_CACHE() macro when
   possible and there is no reason why we can't use the macro, so let's
   use it.

 - Fix a number of comment typos in the LSM hook comment blocks

Pull selinux updates from Paul Moore:
 "Really only a few notable changes:

   - Continue the coding style/formatting fixup work

     This is the bulk of the diffstat in this pull request, with the
     focus this time around being the security/selinux/ss directory.

     We've only got a couple of files left to cleanup and once we're
     done with that we can start enabling some automatic style
     verfication and introduce tooling to help new folks format their
     code correctly.

   - Don't restrict xattr copy-up when SELinux policy is not loaded

     This helps systems that use overlayfs, or similar filesystems,
     preserve their SELinux labels during early boot when the SELinux
     policy has yet to be loaded.

   - Reduce the work we do during inode initialization time

     This isn't likely to show up in any benchmark results, but we
     removed an unnecessary SELinux object class lookup/calculation
     during inode initialization.

   - Correct the return values in selinux_socket_getpeersec_dgram()

     We had some inconsistencies with respect to our return values
     across selinux_socket_getpeersec_dgram() and
     selinux_socket_getpeersec_stream().

     This provides a more uniform set of error codes across the two
     functions and should help make it easier for users to identify
     the source of a failure"

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core & protocols:

   - Large effort by Eric to lower rtnl_lock pressure and remove locks:

      - Make commonly used parts of rtnetlink (address, route dumps
        etc) lockless, protected by RCU instead of rtnl_lock.

      - Add a netns exit callback which already holds rtnl_lock,
        allowing netns exit to take rtnl_lock once in the core instead
        of once for each driver / callback.

      - Remove locks / serialization in the socket diag interface.

      - Remove 6 calls to synchronize_rcu() while holding rtnl_lock.

      - Remove the dev_base_lock, depend on RCU where necessary.

   - Support busy polling on a per-epoll context basis. Poll length and
     budget parameters can be set independently of system defaults.

   - Introduce struct net_hotdata, to make sure read-mostly global
     config variables fit in as few cache lines as possible.

   - Add optional per-nexthop statistics to ease monitoring / debug of
     ECMP imbalance problems.

   - Support TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT in MPTCP.

   - Ensure that IPv6 temporary addresses' preferred lifetimes are long
     enough, compared to other configured lifetimes, and at least 2 sec.

   - Support forwarding of ICMP Error messages in IPSec, per RFC 4301.

   - Add support for the independent control state machine for bonding
     per IEEE 802.1AX-2008 5.4.15 in addition to the existing coupled
     control state machine.

   - Add "network ID" to MCTP socket APIs to support hosts with multiple
     disjoint MCTP networks.

   - Re-use the mono_delivery_time skbuff bit for packets which user
     space wants to be sent at a specified time. Maintain the timing
     information while traversing veth links, bridge etc.

   - Take advantage of MSG_SPLICE_PAGES for RxRPC DATA and ACK packets.

   - Simplify many places iterating over netdevs by using an xarray
     instead of a hash table walk (hash table remains in place, for use
     on fastpaths).

   - Speed up scanning for expired routes by keeping a dedicated list.

   - Speed up "generic" XDP by trying harder to avoid large allocations.

   - Support attaching arbitrary metadata to netconsole messages.

  Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

   - Enforce VM_IOREMAP flag and range in ioremap_page_range and
     introduce VM_SPARSE kind and vm_area_[un]map_pages (used by
     bpf_arena).

   - Rework selftest harness to enable the use of the full range of ksft
     exit code (pass, fail, skip, xfail, xpass).

  Netfilter:

   - Allow userspace to define a table that is exclusively owned by a
     daemon (via netlink socket aliveness) without auto-removing this
     table when the userspace program exits. Such table gets marked as
     orphaned and a restarting management daemon can re-attach/regain
     ownership.

   - Speed up element insertions to nftables' concatenated-ranges set
     type. Compact a few related data structures.

  BPF:

   - Add BPF token support for delegating a subset of BPF subsystem
     functionality from privileged system-wide daemons such as systemd
     through special mount options for userns-bound BPF fs to a trusted
     & unprivileged application.

   - Introduce bpf_arena which is sparse shared memory region between
     BPF program and user space where structures inside the arena can
     have pointers to other areas of the arena, and pointers work
     seamlessly for both user-space programs and BPF programs.

   - Introduce may_goto instruction that is a contract between the
     verifier and the program. The verifier allows the program to loop
     assuming it's behaving well, but reserves the right to terminate
     it.

   - Extend the BPF verifier to enable static subprog calls in spin lock
     critical sections.

   - Support registration of struct_ops types from modules which helps
     projects like fuse-bpf that seeks to implement a new struct_ops
     type.

   - Add support for retrieval of cookies for perf/kprobe multi links.

   - Support arbitrary TCP SYN cookie generation / validation in the TC
     layer with BPF to allow creating SYN flood handling in BPF
     firewalls.

   - Add code generation to inline the bpf_kptr_xchg() helper which
     improves performance when stashing/popping the allocated BPF
     objects.

  Wireless:

   - Add SPP (signaling and payload protected) AMSDU support.

   - Support wider bandwidth OFDMA, as required for EHT operation.

  Driver API:

   - Major overhaul of the Energy Efficient Ethernet internals to
     support new link modes (2.5GE, 5GE), share more code between
     drivers (especially those using phylib), and encourage more
     uniform behavior. Convert and clean up drivers.

   - Define an API for querying per netdev queue statistics from
     drivers.

   - IPSec: account in global stats for fully offloaded sessions.

   - Create a concept of Ethernet PHY Packages at the Device Tree level,
     to allow parameterizing the existing PHY package code.

   - Enable Rx hashing (RSS) on GTP protocol fields.

  Misc:

   - Improvements and refactoring all over networking selftests.

   - Create uniform module aliases for TC classifiers, actions, and
     packet schedulers to simplify creating modprobe policies.

   - Address all missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() warnings in networking.

   - Extend the Netlink descriptions in YAML to cover message
     encapsulation or "Netlink polymorphism", where interpretation of
     nested attributes depends on link type, classifier type or some
     other "class type".

Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
 "Mostly stabilization, refactoring and cleanup changes. There rest are
  minor performance optimizations due to caching or lock contention
  reduction and a few notable fixes.

  Performance improvements:

   - minor speedup in logging when repeatedly allocated structure is
     preallocated only once, improves latency and decreases lock
     contention

   - minor throughput increase (+6%), reduced lock contention after
     clearing delayed allocation bits, applies to several common
     workload types

   - skip full quota rescan if a new relation is added in the same
     transaction

  Fixes:

   - zstd fix for inline compressed file in subpage mode, updated
     version from the 6.8 time

   - proper qgroup inheritance ioctl parameter validation

   - more fiemap followup fixes after reduced locking done in 6.8:
      - fix race when detecting delalloc ranges

  Core changes:

   - more debugging code:
      - added assertions for a very rare crash in raid56 calculation
      - tree-checker dumps page state to give more insights into
        possible reference counting issues

   - add checksum calculation offloading sysfs knob, for now enabled
     under DEBUG only to determine a good heuristic for deciding the
     offload or synchronous, depends on various factors (block group
     profile, device speed) and is not as clear as initially thought
     (checksum type)

   - error handling improvements, added assertions

   - more page to folio conversion (defrag, truncate), cached size and
     shift

   - preparation for more fine grained locking of sectors in subpage
     mode

   - cleanups and refactoring:
      - include cleanups, forward declarations
      - pointer-to-structure helpers
      - redundant argument removals
      - removed unused code
      - slab cache updates, last use of SLAB_MEM_SPREAD removed"

Pull SoC device tree updates from Arnd Bergmann:
 "There is very little going on with new SoC support this time, all the
  new chips are variations of others that we already support, and they
  are all based on ARMv8 cores:

   - Mediatek MT7981B (Filogic 820) and MT7988A (Filogic 880) are
     networking SoCs designed to be used in wireless routers, similar to
     the already supported MT7986A (Filogic 830).

   - NXP i.MX8DXP is a variant of i.MX8QXP, with two CPU cores less.
     These are used in many embedded and industrial applications.

   - Renesas R8A779G2 (R-Car V4H ES2.0) and R8A779H0 (R-Car V4M) are
     automotive SoCs.

   - TI J722S is another automotive variant of its K3 family, related to
     the AM62 series.

  There are a total of 7 new arm32 machines and 45 arm64 ones, including

   - Two Android phones based on the old Tegra30 chip

   - Two machines using Cortex-A53 SoCs from Allwinner, a mini PC and a
     SoM development board

   - A set-top box using Amlogic Meson G12A S905X2

   - Eight embedded board using NXP i.MX6/8/9

   - Three machines using Mediatek network router chips

   - Ten Chromebooks, all based on Mediatek MT8186

   - One development board based on Mediatek MT8395 (Genio 1200)

   - Seven tablets and phones based on Qualcomm SoCs, most of them from
     Samsung.

   - A third development board for Qualcomm SM8550 (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2)

   - Three variants of the "White Hawk" board for Renesas automotive
     SoCs

   - Ten Rockchips RK35xx based machines, including NAS, Tablet, Game
     console and industrial form factors.

   - Three evaluation boards for TI K3 based SoCs

  The other changes are mainly the usual feature additions for existing
  hardware, cleanups, and dtc compile time fixes. One notable change is
  the inclusion of PowerVR SGX GPU nodes on TI SoCs"

Pull s390 updates from Heiko Carstens:

 - Various virtual vs physical address usage fixes

 - Fix error handling in Processor Activity Instrumentation device
   driver, and export number of counters with a sysfs file

 - Allow for multiple events when Processor Activity Instrumentation
   counters are monitored in system wide sampling

 - Change multiplier and shift values of the Time-of-Day clock source to
   improve steering precision

 - Remove a couple of unneeded GFP_DMA flags from allocations

 - Disable mmap alignment if randomize_va_space is also disabled, to
   avoid a too small heap

 - Various changes to allow s390 to be compiled with LLVM=1, since
   ld.lld and llvm-objcopy will have proper s390 support witch clang 19

 - Add __uninitialized macro to Compiler Attributes. This is helpful
   with s390's FPU code where some users have up to 520 byte stack
   frames. Clearing such stack frames (if INIT_STACK_ALL_PATTERN or
   INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO is enabled) before they are used contradicts the
   intention (performance improvement) of such code sections.

 - Convert switch_to() to an out-of-line function, and use the generic
   switch_to header file

 - Replace the usage of s390's debug feature with pr_debug() calls
   within the zcrypt device driver

 - Improve hotplug support of the Adjunct Processor device driver

 - Improve retry handling in the zcrypt device driver

 - Various changes to the in-kernel FPU code:

     - Make in-kernel FPU sections preemptible

     - Convert various larger inline assemblies and assembler files to
       C, mainly by using singe instruction inline assemblies. This
       increases readability, but also allows makes it easier to add
       proper instrumentation hooks

     - Cleanup of the header files

 - Provide fast variants of csum_partial() and
   csum_partial_copy_nocheck() based on vector instructions

 - Introduce and use a lock to synchronize accesses to zpci device data
   structures to avoid inconsistent states caused by concurrent accesses

 - Compile the kernel without -fPIE. This addresses the following
   problems if the kernel is compiled with -fPIE:

     - It uses dynamic symbols (.dynsym), for which the linker refuses
       to allow more than 64k sections. This can break features which
       use '-ffunction-sections' and '-fdata-sections', including
       kpatch-build and function granular KASLR

     - It unnecessarily uses GOT relocations, adding an extra layer of
       indirection for many memory accesses

 - Fix shared_cpu_list for CPU private L2 caches, which incorrectly were
   reported as globally shared

Pull x86 boot updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Continuing work by Ard Biesheuvel to improve the x86 early startup
   code, with the long-term goal to make it position independent:

      - Get rid of early accesses to global objects, either by moving
        them to the stack, deferring the access until later, or dropping
        the globals entirely

      - Move all code that runs early via the 1:1 mapping into
        .head.text, and move code that does not out of it, so that build
        time checks can be added later to ensure that no inadvertent
        absolute references were emitted into code that does not
        tolerate them

      - Remove fixup_pointer() and occurrences of __pa_symbol(), which
        rely on the compiler emitting absolute references, which is not
        guaranteed

 - Improve the early console code

 - Add early console message about ignored NMIs, so that users are at
   least warned about their existence - even if we cannot do anything
   about them

 - Improve the kexec code's kernel load address handling

 - Enable more X86S (simplified x86) bits

 - Simplify early boot GDT handling
