The options to configure a dump file name extension was added for 2
cases:
1. if we dump because of a missed beacon, we added the mac id and type
to the filename.
2. to add the error id of the LMAC/UMAC/TCM/RCM error id to the file
name.
For 1, there is a bug: in cases in which missed beacon will not trigger
a dump (for example in the default preset), and a missed beacon occurred,
and eventually there is a dump for a different reason,
the dump file name will contain the mac type and id even thought the
dump has nothing to do with a missed beacon.
Anyway, both cases are no longer required. Remove the code.

Firmware releases follow a "Core N" pattern, but due to some
historical accidents, the API number for a Core N has always
been N+3. That's confusing for everyone.
For future firmware releases the firmware will make new file
names that, instead of being named with the API number, will
be named with the core number. For example, for the next one
for bz/fm it'd be "iwlwifi-bz-b0-fm-c0-c99.ucode" instead of
the now expected "iwlwifi-bz-b0-fm-c0-102.ucode".
In the driver, represent that as an offset of 1000, and then
request the "c<core>" format instead of just "<api>". When
looking for older versions, skip from 1099 to 101 (which is
core 98.)

When resuming, we iterate over all the (installed) keys to update the
PNs. If we find a key with an unexpected cipher we disconnect.
But there is no reason for us to validate the internal key state
specifically on resume, it should be the same as it was before the
suspend.
Remove the 'unhandled_cipher' from the iteration data.
Also remove the num_keys indication as it is not really needed.
If no keys were installed before the suspend, we will have
num_of_gtk_rekeys = 0 and we will return early anyway.

There is a utility function, iwl_fill_ppag_table, to fill the PPAG table
according the version of the FW API and on of the BIOS table.
But this function handles really old APIs that iwlmld will not support.
Also, iwlmvm will no longer have new APIs of PPAG (because it is loaded
on frozen devices only). So in the next versions we might introdue
regressions to iwlmvm.
Simply fill the PPAG table separately in iwlmld code, without using this
utility.

This is the final move of ctl_tables into their respective
subsystems. Only 5 (out of the original 50) will remain in
kernel/sysctl.c file; these handle either sysctl or common arch
variables.
By decentralizing sysctl registrations, subsystem maintainers regain
control over their sysctl interfaces, improving maintainability and
reducing the likelihood of merge conflicts.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
"A quick summary: perf support for Branch Record Buffer Extensions
(BRBE), typical PMU hardware updates, small additions to MTE for
store-only tag checking and exposing non-address bits to signal
handlers, HAVE_LIVEPATCH enabled on arm64, VMAP_STACK forced on.
There is also a TLBI optimisation on hardware that does not require
break-before-make when changing the user PTEs between contiguous and
non-contiguous.
More details:
Perf and PMU updates:
- Add support for new (v3) Hisilicon SLLC and DDRC PMUs
- Add support for Arm-NI PMU integrations that share interrupts
between clock domains within a given instance
- Allow SPE to be configured with a lower sample period than the
minimum recommendation advertised by PMSIDR_EL1.Interval
- Add suppport for Arm's "Branch Record Buffer Extension" (BRBE)
- Adjust the perf watchdog period according to cpu frequency changes
- Minor driver fixes and cleanups
Hardware features:
- Support for MTE store-only checking (FEAT_MTE_STORE_ONLY)
- Support for reporting the non-address bits during a synchronous MTE
tag check fault (FEAT_MTE_TAGGED_FAR)
- Optimise the TLBI when folding/unfolding contiguous PTEs on
hardware with FEAT_BBM (break-before-make) level 2 and no TLB
conflict aborts
Software features:
- Enable HAVE_LIVEPATCH after implementing arch_stack_walk_reliable()
and using the text-poke API for late module relocations
- Force VMAP_STACK always on and change arm64_efi_rt_init() to use
arch_alloc_vmap_stack() in order to avoid KASAN false positives
ACPI:
- Improve SPCR handling and messaging on systems lacking an SPCR
table
Debug:
- Simplify the debug exception entry path
- Drop redundant DBG_MDSCR_* macros

- Standardize on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by GCC and
Clang compilers and replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ in both
uapi and non-uapi headers
- Explicitly include <linux/export.h> in architecture and driver files
which contain an EXPORT_SYMBOL() and remove the include from the
files which do not contain the EXPORT_SYMBOL()
- Use the full title of "z/Architecture Principles of Operation" manual
and the name of a section where facility bits are listed
- Use -D__DISABLE_EXPORTS for files in arch/s390/boot to avoid
unnecessary slowing down of the build and confusing external kABI
tools that process symtypes data
- Print additional unrecoverable machine check information to make the
root cause analysis easier
- Move cmpxchg_user_key() handling to uaccess library code, since the
generated code is large anyway and there is no benefit if it is
inlined
- Fix a problem when cmpxchg_user_key() is executing a code with a
non-default key: if a system is IPL-ed with "LOAD NORMAL", and the
previous system used storage keys where the fetch-protection bit was
set for some pages, and the cmpxchg_user_key() is located within such
page, a protection exception happens
- Either the external call or emergency signal order is used to send an
IPI to a remote CPU. Use the external order only, since it is at
least as good and sometimes even better, than the emergency signal
- In case of an early crash the early program check handler prints more
or less random value of the last breaking event address, since it is
not initialized properly. Copy the last breaking event address from
the lowcore to pt_regs to address this
- During STP synchronization check udelay() can not be used, since the
first CPU modifies tod_clock_base and get_tod_clock_monotonic() might
return a non-monotonic time. Instead, busy-loop on other CPUs, while
the the first CPU actually handles the synchronization operation
- When debugging the early kernel boot using QEMU with the -S flag and
GDB attached, skip the decompressor and start directly in kernel
- Rename PAI Crypto event 4210 according to z16 and z17 "z/Architecture
Principles of Operation" manual
- Remove the in-kernel time steering support in favour of the new s390
PTP driver, which allows the kernel clock steered more precisely

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Core scheduler changes:
- Better tracking of maximum lag of tasks in presence of different
slices duration, for better handling of lag in the fair scheduler
(Vincent Guittot)
- Clean up and standardize #if/#else/#endif markers throughout the
entire scheduler code base (Ingo Molnar)
- Make SMP unconditional: build the SMP scheduler's data structures
and logic on UP kernel too, even though they are not used, to
simplify the scheduler and remove around 200 #ifdef/[#else]/#endif
blocks from the scheduler (Ingo Molnar)
- Reorganize cgroup bandwidth control interface handling for better
interfacing with sched_ext (Tejun Heo)

(Prateek Nayak)
- Simplify and clean up build_sched_topology() (Li Chen)
- Optimize build_sched_topology() on large machines (Li Chen)
Real-time scheduling:
- Add initial version of proxy execution: a mechanism for
mutex-owning tasks to inherit the scheduling context of higher
priority waiters.
Currently limited to a single runqueue and conditional on
CONFIG_EXPERT, and other limitations (John Stultz, Peter Zijlstra,
Valentin Schneider)
- Deadline scheduler (Juri Lelli):
- Fix dl_servers initialization order (Juri Lelli)
- Fix DL scheduler's root domain reinitialization logic (Juri
Lelli)

- Fix scalability regression by implementing less agressive
dl_server handling (Peter Zijlstra)

usage (Peter Zijlstra)
Rust changes:
- Make Task, CondVar and PollCondVar methods inline to avoid
unnecessary function calls (Kunwu Chan, Panagiotis Foliadis)
- Add might_sleep() support for Rust code: Rust's "#[track_caller]"
mechanism is used so that Rust's might_sleep() doesn't need to be
defined as a macro (Fujita Tomonori)
- Introduce file_from_location() (Boqun Feng)
Debugging & instrumentation:
- Make clangd usable with scheduler source code files again (Peter
Zijlstra)

Certain targets disable kstack_erase by filtering out KSTACK_ERASE_CFLAGS
rather than adding DISABLE_KSTACK_ERASE. The renaming to kstack_erase
missed the CFLAGS export, which broke those build targets (e.g. x86
vdso32).
