Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"Core & protocols:
- A significant effort all around the stack to guide the compiler to
make the right choice when inlining code, to avoid unneeded calls
for small helper and stack canary overhead in the fast-path.
This generates better and faster code with very small or no text
size increases, as in many cases the call generated more code than
the actual inlined helper.
- Extend AccECN implementation so that is now functionally complete,
also allow the user-space enabling it on a per network namespace
basis.
- Add support for memory providers with large (above 4K) rx buffer.
Paired with hw-gro, larger rx buffer sizes reduce the number of
buffers traversing the stack, dincreasing single stream CPU usage
by up to ~30%.
- Do not add HBH header to Big TCP GSO packets. This simplifies the
RX path, the TX path and the NIC drivers, and is possible because
user-space taps can now interpret correctly such packets without
the HBH hint.
- Allow IPv6 routes to be configured with a gateway address that is
resolved out of a different interface than the one specified,
aligning IPv6 to IPv4 behavior.
- Multi-queue aware sch_cake. This makes it possible to scale the
rate shaper of sch_cake across multiple CPUs, while still enforcing
a single global rate on the interface.
- Add support for the nbcon (new buffer console) infrastructure to
netconsole, enabling lock-free, priority-based console operations
that are safer in crash scenarios.
- Improve the TCP ipv6 output path to cache the flow information,
saving cpu cycles, reducing cache line misses and stack use.
- Improve netfilter packet tracker to resolve clashes for most
protocols, avoiding unneeded drops on rare occasions.
- Add IP6IP6 tunneling acceleration to the flowtable infrastructure.
- Reduce tcp socket size by one cache line.
- Notify neighbour changes atomically, avoiding inconsistencies
between the notification sequence and the actual states sequence.
- Add vsock namespace support, allowing complete isolation of vsocks
across different network namespaces.
- Improve xsk generic performances with cache-alignment-oriented
optimizations.
- Support netconsole automatic target recovery, allowing netconsole
to reestablish targets when underlying low-level interface comes
back online.
Driver API:
- Support for switching the working mode (automatic vs manual) of a
DPLL device via netlink.
- Introduce PHY ports representation to expose multiple front-facing
media ports over a single MAC.
- Introduce "rx-polarity" and "tx-polarity" device tree properties,
to generalize polarity inversion requirements for differential
signaling.
- Add helper to create, prepare and enable managed clocks.
Device drivers:
- Add Huawei hinic3 PF etherner driver.
- Add DWMAC glue driver for Motorcomm YT6801 PCIe ethernet
controller.
- Add ethernet driver for MaxLinear MxL862xx switches
- Remove parallel-port Ethernet driver.
- Convert existing driver timestamp configuration reporting to
hwtstamp_get and remove legacy ioctl().
- Convert existing drivers to .get_rx_ring_count(), simplifing the RX
ring count retrieval. Also remove the legacy fallback path.

Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:
- Rework the rescuer to process work items one-by-one instead of
slurping all pending work items in a single pass.
As there is only one rescuer per workqueue, a single long-blocking
work item could cause high latency for all tasks queued behind it,
even after memory pressure is relieved and regular kworkers become
available to service them.
- Add CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_WQ_STALL_PANIC build-time option and
workqueue.panic_on_stall_time parameter for time-based stall panic,
giving systems more control over workqueue stall handling.
- Replace BUG_ON() with panic() in the stall panic path for clearer
intent and more informative output.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Scheduler Kconfig space updates:
- Further consolidate configurable preemption modes (Peter Zijlstra)
Reduce the number of architectures that are allowed to offer
PREEMPT_NONE and PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, reducing the number of
preemption models from four to just two: 'full' and 'lazy' on
up-to-date architectures (arm64, loongarch, powerpc, riscv, s390,
x86).
None and voluntary are only available as legacy features on
platforms that don't implement lazy preemption yet, or which don't
even support preemption.
The goal is to eventually remove cond_resched() and voluntary
preemption altogether.
RSEQ based 'scheduler time slice extension' support (Thomas Gleixner
and Peter Zijlstra):
This allows a thread to request a time slice extension when it enters
a critical section to avoid contention on a resource when the thread
is scheduled out inside of the critical section.
- Add fields and constants for time slice extension
- Provide static branch for time slice extensions
- Add statistics for time slice extensions
- Add prctl() to enable time slice extensions
- Implement sys_rseq_slice_yield()
- Implement syscall entry work for time slice extensions
- Implement time slice extension enforcement timer
- Reset slice extension when scheduled

- selftests: Implement time slice extension test
- Allow registering RSEQ with slice extension
- Move slice_ext_nsec to debugfs
- Lower default slice extension
- selftests/rseq: Add rseq slice histogram script
Scheduler performance/scalability improvements:
- Update rq->avg_idle when a task is moved to an idle CPU, which
improves the scalability of various workloads (Shubhang Kaushik)
- Reorder fields in 'struct rq' for better caching (Blake Jones)
- Fair scheduler SMP NOHZ balancing code speedups (Shrikanth Hegde):
- Move checking for nohz cpus after time check
- Change likelyhood of nohz.nr_cpus
- Remove nohz.nr_cpus and use weight of cpumask instead
- Avoid false sharing for sched_clock_irqtime (Wangyang Guo)
- Cleanups (Yury Norov):
- Drop useless cpumask_empty() in find_energy_efficient_cpu()
- Simplify task_numa_find_cpu()
- Use cpumask_weight_and() in sched_balance_find_dst_group()
DL scheduler updates:
- Add a deadline server for sched_ext tasks (by Andrea Righi and Joel
Fernandes, with fixes by Peter Zijlstra)
RT scheduler updates:
- Skip currently executing CPU in rto_next_cpu() (Chen Jinghuang)
Entry code updates and performance improvements (Jinjie Ruan)
This is part of the scheduler tree in this cycle due to inter-
dependencies with the RSEQ based time slice extension work:

- Rework syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work() for architecture reuse
- Add arch_ptrace_report_syscall_entry/exit()
- Inline syscall_exit_work() and syscall_trace_enter()
Scheduler core updates (Peter Zijlstra):

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"By the number of commits, cpufreq is the leading party (again) and the
most visible change there is the removal of the omap-cpufreq driver
that has not been used for a long time (good riddance). There are also
quite a few changes in the cppc_cpufreq driver, mostly related to
fixing its frequency invariance engine in the case when the CPPC
registers used by it are not in PCC. In addition to that, support for
AM62L3 is added to the ti-cpufreq driver and the cpufreq-dt-platdev
list is updated for some platforms. The remaining cpufreq changes are
assorted fixes and cleanups.
Next up is cpuidle and the changes there are dominated by intel_idle
driver updates, mostly related to the new command line facility
allowing users to adjust the list of C-states used by the driver.
There are also a few updates of cpuidle governors, including two menu
governor fixes and some refinements of the teo governor, and a
MAINTAINERS update adding Christian Loehle as a cpuidle reviewer.
[Thanks for stepping up Christian!]
The most significant update related to system suspend and hibernation
is the one to stop freezing the PM runtime workqueue during system PM
transitions which allows some deadlocks to be avoided. There is also a
fix for possible concurrent bit field updates in the core device
suspend code and a few other minor fixes.
Apart from the above, several drivers are updated to discard the
return value of pm_runtime_put() which is going to be converted to a
void function as soon as everybody stops using its return value, PL4
support for Ice Lake is added to the Intel RAPL power capping driver,
and there are assorted cleanups, documentation fixes, and some
cpupower utility improvements.
Specifics:
- Remove the unused omap-cpufreq driver (Andreas Kemnade)
- Optimize error handling code in cpufreq_boost_trigger_state() and
make cpufreq_boost_trigger_state() return -EOPNOTSUPP if no policy
supports boost (Lifeng Zheng)
- Update cpufreq-dt-platdev list for tegra, qcom, TI (Aaron Kling,
Dhruva Gole, and Konrad Dybcio)
- Minor improvements to the cpufreq and cpumask rust implementation
(Alexandre Courbot, Alice Ryhl, Tamir Duberstein, and Yilin Chen)
- Add support for AM62L3 SoC to the ti-cpufreq driver (Dhruva Gole)
- Update arch_freq_scale in the CPPC cpufreq driver's frequency
invariance engine (FIE) in scheduler ticks if the related CPPC
registers are not in PCC (Jie Zhan)
- Assorted minor cleanups and improvements in ARM cpufreq drivers
(Juan Martinez, Felix Gu, Luca Weiss, and Sergey Shtylyov)
- Add generic helpers for sysfs show/store to cppc_cpufreq (Sumit
Gupta)
- Make the scaling_setspeed cpufreq sysfs attribute return the actual
requested frequency to avoid confusion (Pengjie Zhang)
- Simplify the idle CPU time granularity test in the ondemand cpufreq
governor (Frederic Weisbecker)
- Enable asym capacity in intel_pstate only when CPU SMT is not
possible (Yaxiong Tian)
- Update the description of rate_limit_us default value in cpufreq
documentation (Yaxiong Tian)
- Add a command line option to adjust the C-states table in the
intel_idle driver, remove the 'preferred_cstates' module parameter
from it, add C-states validation to it and clean it up (Artem
Bityutskiy)
- Make the menu cpuidle governor always check the time till the
closest timer event when the scheduler tick has been stopped to
prevent it from mistakenly selecting the deepest available idle
state (Rafael Wysocki)
- Update the teo cpuidle governor to avoid making suboptimal
decisions in certain corner cases and generally improve idle state
selection accuracy (Rafael Wysocki)
- Remove an unlikely() annotation on the early-return condition in
menu_select() that leads to branch misprediction 100% of the time
on systems with only 1 idle state enabled, like ARM64 servers
(Breno Leitao)
- Add Christian Loehle to MAINTAINERS as a cpuidle reviewer
(Christian Loehle)
- Stop flagging the PM runtime workqueue as freezable to avoid system
suspend and resume deadlocks in subsystems that assume asynchronous
runtime PM to work during system-wide PM transitions (Rafael
Wysocki)

Pull vfs initrd removal from Christian Brauner:
"Remove the deprecated linuxrc-based initrd code path and related dead
code. The linuxrc initrd path was deprecated in 2020 and this series
completes its removal. If we see real-life regressions we'll revert.
The core change removes handle_initrd() and init_linuxrc() — the
entire flow that ran /linuxrc from an initrd, pivoted roots, and
handed off to the real root filesystem. With that gone, initrd_load()
becomes void (no longer short-circuits prepare_namespace()),
rd_load_image() is simplified to always load /initrd.image instead of
taking a path, and rd_load_disk() is deleted.
The /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev sysctl and its backing variable are
removed since they only existed for linuxrc to communicate the real
root device back to the kernel.
The no-op load_ramdisk= and prompt_ramdisk= parameters are dropped,
and noinitrd and ramdisk_start= gain deprecation warnings.
Initramfs is entirely unaffected. The non-linuxrc initrd path
(root=/dev/ram0) is preserved but now carries a deprecation warning
targeting January 2027 removal"

Add a new module parameter 'panic_on_stall_time' that triggers a panic
when a workqueue stall persists for longer than the specified duration
in seconds.
Unlike 'panic_on_stall' which counts accumulated stall events, this
parameter triggers based on the duration of a single continuous stall.
This is useful for catching truly stuck workqueues rather than
accumulating transient stalls.
Usage:
workqueue.panic_on_stall_time=120
This would panic if any workqueue pool has been stalled for 120 seconds
or more.
The stall duration is measured from the workqueue last progress
(poll_ts) which accounts for legitimate system stalls.

x86/kfence: fix booting on 32bit non-PAE systems
Add a kernel config option to set the default value of
workqueue.panic_on_stall, similar to CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_SOFTLOCKUP_PANIC,
CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HARDLOCKUP_PANIC and CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HUNG_TASK_PANIC.
This allows setting the number of workqueue stalls before triggering
a kernel panic at build time, which is useful for high-availability
systems that need consistent panic-on-stall, in other words, those
servers which run with CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_*_PANIC=y already.
The default remains 0 (disabled). Setting it to 1 will panic on the
first stall, and higher values will panic after that many stall
warnings. The value can still be overridden at runtime via the
workqueue.panic_on_stall boot parameter or sysfs.

Allow ML-DSA module signing to be enabled.
Note that OpenSSL's CMS_*() function suite does not, as of OpenSSL-3.6,
support the use of CMS_NOATTR with ML-DSA, so the prohibition against using
signedAttrs with module signing has to be removed. The selected digest
then applies only to the algorithm used to calculate the digest stored in
the messageDigest attribute. The OpenSSL development branch has patches
applied that fix this[1], but it appears that that will only be available
in OpenSSL-4.
[1] https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/28923
sign-file won't set CMS_NOATTR if openssl is earlier than v4, resulting in
the use of signed attributes.
The ML-DSA algorithm takes the raw data to be signed without regard to what
digest algorithm is specified in the CMS message. The CMS specified digest
algorithm is ignored unless signedAttrs are used; in such a case, only
SHA512 is permitted.

The root document usually has a special :ref:`genindex` link to the
generated index. This is also the case for Documentation/index.rst. The
other index.rst files deeper in the directory hierarchy usually don't.
For SPHINXDIRS builds, the root document isn't Documentation/index.rst,
but some other index.rst in the hierarchy. Currently they have a
".. only::" block to add the index link when doing SPHINXDIRS html
builds.
This is obviously very tedious and repetitive. The link is also added to
all index.rst files in the hierarchy for SPHINXDIRS builds, not just the
root document.
Put the boilerplate in a sphinx-includes/subproject-index.rst file, and
include it at the end of the root document for subproject builds in an
ad-hoc source-read extension defined in conf.py.
For now, keep having the boilerplate in translations, because this
approach currently doesn't cover translated index link headers.

If a time slice extension is granted and the reschedule delayed, the kernel
has to ensure that user space cannot abuse the extension and exceed the
maximum granted time.
It was suggested to implement this via the existing hrtick() timer in the
scheduler, but that turned out to be problematic for several reasons:
1) It creates a dependency on CONFIG_SCHED_HRTICK, which can be disabled
independently of CONFIG_HIGHRES_TIMERS
2) HRTICK usage in the scheduler can be runtime disabled or is only used
for certain aspects of scheduling.
3) The function is calling into the scheduler code and that might have
unexpected consequences when this is invoked due to a time slice
enforcement expiry. Especially when the task managed to clear the
grant via sched_yield(0).
It would be possible to address #2 and #3 by storing state in the
scheduler, but that is extra complexity and fragility for no value.
Implement a dedicated per CPU hrtimer instead, which is solely used for the
purpose of time slice enforcement.
The timer is armed when an extension was granted right before actually
returning to user mode in rseq_exit_to_user_mode_restart().
It is disarmed, when the task relinquishes the CPU. This is expensive as
the timer is probably the first expiring timer on the CPU, which means it
has to reprogram the hardware. But that's less expensive than going through
a full hrtimer interrupt cycle for nothing.

Add a dedicated ".dm-verity" keyring for root hash signature
verification, similar to the ".fs-verity" keyring used by fs-verity.
By default the keyring is unused retaining the exact same old behavior.
For systems that provision additional keys only intended for dm-verity
images during boot, the dm_verity.keyring_unsealed=1 kernel parameter
leaves the keyring open.
We want to use this in systemd as a way add keys during boot that are
only used for creating dm-verity devices for later mounting and nothing
else. The discoverable disk image (DDI) spec at [1] heavily relies on
dm-verity and we would like to expand this even more. This will allow us
to do that in a fully backward compatible way.
Once provisioning is complete, userspace restricts and activates it for
dm-verity verification. If userspace fully seals the keyring then it
gains the guarantee that no new keys can be added.

The SPCR provided console on x86 is only available as a boot console when
earlycon is provided on the kernel command line, and will not be present in
/proc/consoles.
While it's possible to retain the boot console with the keep_bootcon
parameter, that leaves the console using the less efficient 8250_early driver.
Users wanting to use the firmware suggested console (to avoid maintaining
unique serial console parameters for different server models in large fleets)
with the conventional driver have to parse the kernel log for the console
parameters and reinsert them.

In commit
0231d00082 ("ACPI: SPCR: Make SPCR available to x86")¹
the SPCR console was only added as an option for earlycon but not as an
ordinary console so users don't see console output changes.
So users can opt in to an automatic SPCR console, make ACPI init add it if
acpi=spcr is set.

vsprintf.c uses a mix of the `kernel.kptr_restrict` sysctl and the
`hash_pointers` boot param to control pointer hashing. But that wasn't
possible to tell without looking at the source code.
They have a different focus and purpose. To avoid wasting the time of
users trying to use one instead of the other, simply have them reference
each other in the Documentation.

Xen can support console_io hypercalls for any domains, not just dom0,
depending on DEBUG and XSM policies. These hypercalls can be very useful
for development and debugging.
Introduce a kernel command line option xen_console_io to enable the
usage of console_io hypercalls for any domain upon request. When
xen_console_io is not specified, the current behavior is retained.

In blamed commit, I added a check against the temporary queue
built in __dev_xmit_skb(). Idea was to drop packets early,
before any spinlock was acquired.
if (unlikely(defer_count > READ_ONCE(q->limit))) {
kfree_skb_reason(skb, SKB_DROP_REASON_QDISC_DROP);
return NET_XMIT_DROP;
}
It turned out that HTB Qdisc has a zero q->limit.
HTB limits packets on a per-class basis.
Some of our tests became flaky.
Add a new sysctl : net.core.qdisc_max_burst to control
how many packets can be stored in the temporary lockless queue.
Also add a new QDISC_BURST_DROP drop reason to better diagnose
future issues.
Thanks Neal !
