Pull kthread updates from Frederic Weisbecker:
"The kthread code provides an infrastructure which manages the
preferred affinity of unbound kthreads (node or custom cpumask)
against housekeeping (CPU isolation) constraints and CPU hotplug
events.
One crucial missing piece is the handling of cpuset: when an isolated
partition is created, deleted, or its CPUs updated, all the unbound
kthreads in the top cpuset become indifferently affine to _all_ the
non-isolated CPUs, possibly breaking their preferred affinity along
the way.
Solve this with performing the kthreads affinity update from cpuset to
the kthreads consolidated relevant code instead so that preferred
affinities are honoured and applied against the updated cpuset
isolated partitions.
The dispatch of the new isolated cpumasks to timers, workqueues and
kthreads is performed by housekeeping, as per the nice Tejun's
suggestion.
As a welcome side effect, HK_TYPE_DOMAIN then integrates both the set
from boot defined domain isolation (through isolcpus=) and cpuset
isolated partitions. Housekeeping cpumasks are now modifiable with a
specific RCU based synchronization. A big step toward making
nohz_full= also mutable through cpuset in the future"

...
When none of the allowed CPUs of a task are online, it gets migrated
to the fallback cpumask which is all the non nohz_full CPUs.
However just like nohz_full CPUs, domain isolated CPUs don't want to be
disturbed by tasks that have lost their CPU affinities.
And since nohz_full rely on domain isolation to work correctly, the
housekeeping mask of domain isolated CPUs should always be a subset of
the housekeeping mask of nohz_full CPUs (there can be CPUs that are
domain isolated but not nohz_full, OTOH there shouldn't be nohz_full
CPUs that are not domain isolated):
HK_TYPE_DOMAIN & HK_TYPE_KERNEL_NOISE == HK_TYPE_DOMAIN
Therefore use HK_TYPE_DOMAIN as the appropriate fallback target for
tasks. Note that cpuset isolated partitions are not supported on those
systems and may result in undefined behaviour.

Define CONFIG_ILLEGAL_POINTER_VALUE to the eye-catching non-zero value
of 0xdead000000000000, consistent with other architectures. Assert at
compile-time that the poison pointers that include/linux/poison.h
defines based on this illegal pointer are beyond the largest useful
virtual addresses. Also, assert at compile-time that the range of poison
pointers per include/linux/poison.h (currently a range of less than
0x10000 addresses) does not overlap with the range used for address
handles for s390's non-MIO PCI instructions.
This enables s390 to track the DMA mappings by the network stack's

Pull RISC-V fixes from Paul Walmsley:
"The notable changes here are the three RISC-V timer compare register
update sequence patches. These only apply to RV32 systems and are
related to the 64-bit timer compare value being split across two
separate 32-bit registers.
We weren't using the appropriate three-write sequence, documented in
the RISC-V ISA specifications, to avoid spurious timer interrupts
during the update sequence; so, these patches now use the recommended
sequence.
This doesn't affect 64-bit RISC-V systems, since the timer compare
value fits inside a single register and can be updated with a single
write.
- Fix the RISC-V timer compare register update sequence on RV32
systems to use the recommended sequence in the RISC-V ISA manual
This avoids spurious interrupts during updates
- Add a dependence on the new CONFIG_CACHEMAINT_FOR_DMA Kconfig

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.

When software issues a Cache Maintenance Operation (CMO) targeting a
dirty cache line, the CPU and DSU cluster may optimize the operation by
combining the CopyBack Write and CMO into a single combined CopyBack
Write plus CMO transaction presented to the interconnect (MCN).
For these combined transactions, the MCN splits the operation into two
separate transactions, one Write and one CMO, and then propagates the
write and optionally the CMO to the downstream memory system or external
Point of Serialization (PoS).
However, the MCN may return an early CompCMO response to the DSU cluster
before the corresponding Write and CMO transactions have completed at
the external PoS or downstream memory. As a result, stale data may be
observed by external observers that are directly connected to the
external PoS or downstream memory.
This erratum affects any system topology in which the following
conditions apply:
- The Point of Serialization (PoS) is located downstream of the
interconnect.
- A downstream observer accesses memory directly, bypassing the
interconnect.
Conditions:
This erratum occurs only when all of the following conditions are met:
1. Software executes a data cache maintenance operation, specifically,
a clean or clean&invalidate by virtual address (DC CVAC or DC
CIVAC), that hits on unique dirty data in the CPU or DSU cache.
This results in a combined CopyBack and CMO being issued to the
interconnect.
2. The interconnect splits the combined transaction into separate Write
and CMO transactions and returns an early completion response to the
CPU or DSU before the write has completed at the downstream memory
or PoS.
3. A downstream observer accesses the affected memory address after the
early completion response is issued but before the actual memory
write has completed. This allows the observer to read stale data
that has not yet been updated at the PoS or downstream memory.
The implementation of workaround put a second loop of CMOs at the same
virtual address whose operation meet erratum conditions to wait until
cache data be cleaned to PoC. This way of implementation mitigates
performance penalty compared to purely duplicate original CMO.

Armv8.7 introduces single-copy atomic 64-byte loads and stores
instructions and its variants named under FEAT_{LS64, LS64_V}.
These features are identified by ID_AA64ISAR1_EL1.LS64 and the
use of such instructions in userspace (EL0) can be trapped.
As st64bv (FEAT_LS64_V) and st64bv0 (FEAT_LS64_ACCDATA) can not be tell
apart, FEAT_LS64 and FEAT_LS64_ACCDATA which will be supported in later
patch will be exported to userspace, FEAT_LS64_V will be enabled only
in kernel.
In order to support the use of corresponding instructions in userspace:
- Make ID_AA64ISAR1_EL1.LS64 visbile to userspace
- Add identifying and enabling in the cpufeature list
- Expose these support of these features to userspace through HWCAP3
and cpuinfo
ld64b/st64b (FEAT_LS64) and st64bv (FEAT_LS64_V) is intended for
special memory (device memory) so requires support by the CPU, system
and target memory location (device that support these instructions).
The HWCAP3_LS64, implies the support of CPU and system (since no
identification method from system, so SoC vendors should advertise
support in the CPU if system also support them).
Otherwise for ld64b/st64b the atomicity may not be guaranteed or a
DABT will be generated, so users (probably userspace driver developer)
should make sure the target memory (device) also have the support.
For st64bv 0xffffffffffffffff will be returned as status result for
unsupported memory so user should check it.
Document the restrictions along with HWCAP3_LS64.

"This has been another busy cycle for documentation, with a lot of
build-system thrashing. That work should slow down from here on out.
- The various scripts and tools for documentation were spread out in
several directories; now they are (almost) all coalesced under
tools/docs/. The holdout is the kernel-doc script, which cannot be
easily moved without some further thought.
- As the amount of Python code increases, we are accumulating modules
that are imported by multiple programs. These modules have been
pulled together under tools/lib/python/ -- at least, for
documentation-related programs. There is other Python code in the
tree that might eventually want to move toward this organization.
- The Perl kernel-doc.pl script has been removed. It is no longer
used by default, and nobody has missed it, least of all anybody who
actually had to look at it.
- The docs build was controlled by a complex mess of makefilese that
few dared to touch. Mauro has moved that logic into a new program
(tools/docs/sphinx-build-wrapper) that, with any luck at all, will
be far easier to understand and maintain.
- The get_feat.pl program, used to access information under
Documentation/features/, has been rewritten in Python, bringing an
end to the use of Perl in the docs subsystem.
- The top-level README file has been reorganized into a more
reader-friendly presentation.
- A lot of Chinese translation additions
- Typo fixes and documentation updates as usual"

The x86 bootloader ID specification text uses hexadecimal
values without a 0x prefix:
D kexec-tools
E Extended (see ext_loader_type)
F Special (0xFF = undefined)
10 Reserved
11 Minimal Linux Bootloader
<http://sebastian-plotz.blogspot.de>
12 OVMF UEFI virtualization stack
13 barebox
Which beyond the ambiguity of '13' in isolation, also
made me fail a grep -wi '0xd' when I was looking for
the kexec bootloader ID definition and caused quite
a bit of head-scratching before I found out why it
didn't show up.
Furthermore, the actual explanatory text uses the 0x
prefix:
For boot loader IDs above T = 0xD, write T = 0xE to this field and
write the extended ID minus 0x10 to the ext_loader_type field.
Similarly, the ext_loader_ver field can be used to provide more than
four bits for the bootloader version.
So make it all both unambiguous, easy to grep and consistent
across the entire documentation by prefixing the IDs with 0x.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
"These are the arm64 updates for 6.19.
The biggest part is the Arm MPAM driver under drivers/resctrl/.
There's a patch touching mm/ to handle spurious faults for huge pmd
(similar to the pte version). The corresponding arm64 part allows us
to avoid the TLB maintenance if a (huge) page is reused after a write
fault. There's EFI refactoring to allow runtime services with
preemption enabled and the rest is the usual perf/PMU updates and
several cleanups/typos.
Summary:
Core features:
- Basic Arm MPAM (Memory system resource Partitioning And Monitoring)
driver under drivers/resctrl/ which makes use of the fs/rectrl/ API
Perf and PMU:
- Avoid cycle counter on multi-threaded CPUs
- Extend CSPMU device probing and add additional filtering support
for NVIDIA implementations
- Add support for the PMUs on the NoC S3 interconnect
- Add additional compatible strings for new Cortex and C1 CPUs
- Add support for data source filtering to the SPE driver
- Add support for i.MX8QM and "DB" PMU in the imx PMU driver
Memory managemennt:
- Avoid broadcast TLBI if page reused in write fault
- Elide TLB invalidation if the old PTE was not valid
- Drop redundant cpu_set_*_tcr_t0sz() macros
- Propagate pgtable_alloc() errors outside of __create_pgd_mapping()
- Propagate return value from __change_memory_common()
ACPI and EFI:
- Call EFI runtime services without disabling preemption
- Remove unused ACPI function
Miscellaneous:
- ptrace support to disable streaming on SME-only systems
- Improve sysreg generation to include a 'Prefix' descriptor
- Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__
- Align register dumps in the kselftest zt-test
- Remove some no longer used macros/functions
- Various spelling corrections"

Signed-off-by: Paul Walmsley <pjw@kernel.org>
Currently it is not possible to disable streaming mode via ptrace on SME
only systems, the interface for doing this is to write via NT_ARM_SVE but
such writes will be rejected on a system without SVE support. Enable this
functionality by allowing userspace to write SVE_PT_REGS_FPSIMD format data
via NT_ARM_SVE with the vector length set to 0 on SME only systems. Such
writes currently error since we require that a vector length is specified
which should minimise the risk that existing software is relying on current
behaviour.
Reads are not supported since I am not aware of any use case for this and
there is some risk that an existing userspace application may be confused if
it reads NT_ARM_SVE on a system without SVE. Existing kernels will return
FPSIMD formatted register state from NT_ARM_SVE if full SVE state is not
stored, for example if the task has not used SVE. Returning a vector length
of 0 would create a risk that software would try to do things like allocate
space for register state with zero sizes, while returning a vector length of
128 bits would look like SVE is supported. It seems safer to just not make
the changes to add read support.
It remains possible for userspace to detect a SME only system via the ptrace
interface only since reads of NT_ARM_SSVE and NT_ARM_ZA will succeed while
reads of NT_ARM_SVE will fail. Read/write access to the FPSIMD registers in
non-streaming mode is available via REGSET_FPR.
sve_set_common() already avoids allocating SVE storage when doing a FPSIMD
formatted write and allocating SME storage when doing a NT_ARM_SVE write so
we change the function to validate the new case and skip setting a vector
length for it.
The aim is to make a minimally invasive change, no operation that would
previously have succeeded will be affected, and we use a previously
defined interface in new circumstances rather than define completely new
ABI.

"The biggest change here is making TDX and kexec play nicely together.
Before this, the memory encryption hardware (which doesn't respect

removes the limitation.
