Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"SMP load-balancing updates:
- A large series to introduce infrastructure for cache-aware load
balancing, with the goal of co-locating tasks that share data
within the same Last Level Cache (LLC) domain. By improving cache
locality, the scheduler can reduce cache bouncing and cache misses,
ultimately improving data access efficiency.

canceled by using mod_delayed_work()
- Fix missing jiffies conversion in deferred_probe_extend_timeout()
- Guard timeout extension with delayed_work_pending() to prevent
premature firing
- Use system_percpu_wq instead of the deprecated system_wq
- Update deferred_probe_timeout documentation
device:
- Replace direct struct device bitfield access (can_match, dma_iommu,
dma_skip_sync, dma_ops_bypass, state_synced, dma_coherent,
of_node_reused, offline, offline_disabled) with flag-based
accessors using bit operations
- Reject devices with unregistered buses
- Delete unused DEVICE_ATTR_PREALLOC()
- Add low-level device attribute macros with const show/store
callbacks, allowing device attributes to reside in read-only memory
- Move core device attributes to read-only memory
- Constify group array pointers in driver_add_groups() /
driver_remove_groups(), struct bus_type, and struct device_driver
device property:
- Fix fwnode reference leak in fwnode_graph_get_endpoint_by_id()
- Initialize all fields of fwnode_handle in fwnode_init()
- Provide swnode_get()/swnode_put() wrappers around kobject_get/put()
- Allow passing struct software_node_ref_args pointers directly to
PROPERTY_ENTRY_REF()
driver_override:
- Migrate amba, cdx, vmbus, and rpmsg to the generic driver_override
infrastructure, fixing a UAF from unsynchronized access to
driver_override in bus match() callbacks
- Remove the now-unused driver_set_override()
firmware loader:
- Fix recursive lock deadlock in device_cache_fw_images() when async
work falls back to synchronous execution
- Fix device reference leak in firmware_upload_register()
platform:
- Pass KBUILD_MODNAME through the platform driver registration macro
to create module symlinks in sysfs for built-in drivers; move
module_kset initialization to a pure_initcall and tegra cbb
registration to core_initcall to ensure correct ordering
- Pass THIS_MODULE implicitly through a coresight_init_driver() macro
sysfs:
- Upgrade OOB write detection in sysfs_kf_seq_show() from printk to
WARN
- Add return value clamping to sysfs_kf_read()
Rust:
- ACPI:
Fix missing match data for PRP0001 by exporting
acpi_of_match_device()
- Auxiliary:
Replace drvdata() with dedicated registration data on
auxiliary_device. drvdata() exposed the driver's bus device private
data beyond the driver's own scope, creating ordering constraints
and forcing the data to outlive all registrations that access it.
Registration data is instead scoped structurally to the
Registration object, making lifecycle ordering enforced by
construction rather than convention.
- Rust-native device driver lifetimes (HRT):
Allow Rust device drivers to carry a lifetime parameter on their
bus device private data, tied to the device binding scope -- the
interval during which a bus device is bound to a driver. Device
resources like pci::Bar<'a> and IoMem<'a> can be stored directly in
the driver's bus device private data with a lifetime bounded by the
binding scope, so the compiler enforces at build time that they do
not outlive the binding. This removes Devres indirection from every
access site and eliminates try_access() failure paths in
destructors.
Bus driver traits use a Generic Associated Type (GAT) Data<'bound>
to introduce the lifetime on the private data, rather than
parameterizing the Driver trait itself. Auxiliary registration
data, where the lifetime is not introduced by a trait callback but
must be threaded through Registration, uses the ForLt trait (a
type-level abstraction for types generic over a lifetime).
Misc:
- Fix DT overlayed devices not probing by reverting the broken
treewide overlay fix and re-running fw_devlink consumer pickup when
an overlay is applied to a bound device
- Use root_device_register() for faux bus root device; add sanity
check for failed bus init
- Fix dev_has_sync_state() data race with READ_ONCE() and move it to
base.h
- Avoid spurious device_links warning when removing a device while
its supplier is unbinding
- Switch ISA bus to dynamic root device
- Fix suspicious RCU usage in kernfs_put()
- Remove devcoredump exit callback
- Constify devfreq_event_class"

The conservative governor documentation incorrectly states that setting
freq_step to 0 will use the default 5% frequency step. In reality, since
at least commit 8e677ce83b ("[CPUFREQ] conservative: fixup governor to
function more like ondemand logic"), freq_step=0 has always caused the
governor to skip frequency updates entirely.
Correct the documentation to reflect the actual behavior: freq_step=0
disables frequency changes by the governor entirely.

This option was never meant to be used in production because it solely
clears the X86_FEATURE kernel-internal representation of what CPUID bits
it has detected and doesn't do any *proper* feature disablement like
clearing CR4.CET in the user shadow stack case, for example.
So remove its documentation so that it doesn't get used in production
and people get silly ideas. It is meant strictly for debugging; and if
a chicken bit for properly disabling a feature is warranted, then that
would need proper enablement.
No functional changes.

Add support for hardware-wrapped encryption keys to the
dm-inlinecrypt target.
Introduce a new optional argument <key_type> to indicate
whether the provided key is a raw key or a hardware-wrapped
key. Based on this flag, the appropriate blk-crypto key type
is selected when initializing the key.
This allows dm-inlinecrypt to work with hardware that requires
keys to be wrapped and managed by the underlying inline
encryption engine.
Update the target argument parsing accordingly and pass the
key type to blk_crypto_init_key(). Documentation is also
updated to reflect the new parameter and usage.

Currently, rcu_normal_wake_from_gp is only enabled by default
on small systems(<= 16 CPUs) or when a user explicitly set it
enabled.
Introduce an adaptive latching mechanism:
* Track the number of in-flight synchronize_rcu() requests
using a new rcu_sr_normal_count counter;
* If the count reaches/exceeds RCU_SR_NORMAL_LATCH_THR(64),
it sets the rcu_sr_normal_latched, reverting new requests
onto the scaled wait_rcu_gp() path;
* The latch is cleared only when the pending requests are fully
drained(nr == 0);
* Enables rcu_normal_wake_from_gp by default for all systems,
relying on this dynamic throttling instead of static CPU
limits.
Testing(synthetic flood workload):
* Kernel version: 6.19.0-rc6
* Number of CPUs: 1536
* 60K concurrent synchronize_rcu() calls

The mdacon driver supports using ISA MDA or Hercules-compatible display
adapters as a secondary text console. This was commonly used in the
1990s and earlier for debugging software which took over the primary
display. It is highly unlikely anyone is doing so nowadays because
serial consoles and much better methods of debugging exist.
The driver is not enabled by any defconfig, nor any of the
dozens of distro configs collected at [1]. It has been relegated to VTs
13-16 since commit 0b9cf3aa6b ("mdacon messing up default vc's - set
default to vc13-16 again") in Linux 2.6.27 (and before Linux 2.5.53 -
see the link in the message of the above commit). The change in 2.6.27
was done because it was incorrectly detecting non-MDA adapters as MDA
and taking over all VTs, rendering them unusable.
Furthermore, vgacon supports using MDA/Hercules-compatible adapters as
the primary text console, so any systems with only one of these
adapters were already using vgacon and will not experience any loss in
functionality from the removal of this driver.
Given all of these factors, the mdacon driver is likely entirely
unused. Remove it.

Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo:
- During v6.19, cgroup task unlink was moved from do_exit() to after the
final task switch to satisfy a controller invariant. That left the kernel
seeing tasks past exit_signals() longer than userspace expected, and
several v7.0 follow-ups tried to bridge the gap by making rmdir wait for
the kernel side. None held up.
The latest is an A-A deadlock when rmdir is invoked by the reaper of
zombies whose pidns teardown the rmdir itself is waiting on, which
points at the synchronizing approach being fundamentally wrong.
Take a different approach: drop the wait, leave rmdir's user-visible
side returning as soon as cgroup.procs is empty, and defer the css
percpu_ref kill that drives ->css_offline() until the cgroup is fully
depopulated.
Tagged for stable. Somewhat invasive but contained. The hope is that
fixing forward sticks. If not, the fallback is to revert the entire
chain and rework on the development branch.
Note that this doesn't plug a pre-existing analogous race in
cgroup_apply_control_disable() (controller disable via
subtree_control). Not a regression. The development branch will do
the more invasive restructuring needed for that.

The isolcpus= option has been marked as deprecated in 2017. Back then it
was desired for the domain sub option to be configured dynamically at
runtime instead using this boot command line which provides a static
configuration. In the meantime this option was extended by other sub
options which don't have runtime counterpart or it does not make sense
to provide one.
The deprecated part always referred to the default `domain' sub option
but it was not obvious. Also the reasoning behind the deprecation is
sort of dubious: There is nothing wrong with a static configuration if
there is no desired to reconfigure. This is useful on systems which
have one purpose and the CPU partition configuration is not changed for
the entire lifetime.
Remove the "Deprecated" note. Remove the part of the description which
suggest to use cpuset.sched_load_balance and instead point to the
documentation file which explains how to use cpusets to configure this
at runtime.
