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

Merge tag 'driver-core-7.2-rc1' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/driver-core/driver-core
Pull driver core updates from Danilo Krummrich:
"Deferred probe:
- Fix race where deferred probe timeout work could be permanently
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"

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"Over a half of the changes here are cpufreq updates that include core
modifications, fixes of the old-style governors, new hardware support
in drivers, assorded driver fixes and cleanups, and the removal of one
driver (AMD Elan SC4*).
Apart from that, the intel_idle driver will now be able to avoid
exposing redundant C-states if PC6 is disabled and there are new
sysctl knobs for device suspend/resume watchdog timeouts, hibernation
gets built-in LZ4 support for image compression and there is the usual
collection of assorted fixes and cleanups.

iommu: Documentation: rearrange, update kernel-parameters
Add text for some undescribed iommu= parameters (merge, nomerge, biomerge, panic, nopanic, pt, nopt). Add "usedac" and its description. Add that iommu=pt is equivalent to iommu.passthrough=1 and that iommu=nopt is equivalent to iommu.passthrough=0.

Documentation/arch/x86: Hide clearcpuid=
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.

rcu: Latch normal synchronize_rcu() path on flood
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 Perf(cycles, system-wide): total cycles: 932020263832 rcu_sr_normal_add_req(): 2650282811 cycles(~0.28%) Perf report excerpt: 0.01% 0.01% sync_test/... [k] rcu_sr_normal_add_req Measured overhead of rcu_sr_normal_add_req() remained ~0.28% of total CPU cycles in this synthetic stress test.

console: mdacon: remove this obsolete driver
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 |

Documentation/kernel-parameters: Remove "Deprecated" from isolcpus=
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.

If we want to have a fighting chance of surviving the LLM-pocalypse this code needs to find a dedicated owner or get deleted. We've talked about these deletions multiple times in the past and every time someone wanted the code to stay. It is never very clear to me how many of those people actually use the code vs are just nostalgic to see it go. Amateur radio did have occasional users (or so I think) but most users switched to user space implementations since its all super slow stuff. Nobody stepped up to maintain the kernel code.

net: remove ax25 and amateur radio (hamradio) subsystem
Remove the amateur radio (AX.25, NET/ROM, ROSE) protocol implementation and all associated hamradio device drivers from the kernel tree. This set of protocols has long been a huge bug/syzbot magnet, and since nobody stepped up to help us deal with the influx of the AI-generated bug reports we need to move it out of tree to protect our sanity. The code is moved to an out-of-tree repo: https://github.com/linux-netdev/mod-orphan if it's cleaned up and reworked there we can accept it back. Minimal stub headers are kept for include/net/ax25.h (AX25_P_IP, AX25_ADDR_LEN, ax25_address) and include/net/rose.h (ROSE_ADDR_LEN) so that the conditional integration code in arp.c and tun.c continues to compile and work when the out-of-tree modules are loaded.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"Arm:
- Add support for tracing in the standalone EL2 hypervisor code,
which should help both debugging and performance analysis. This
uses the new infrastructure for 'remote' trace buffers that can be
exposed by non-kernel entities such as firmware, and which came
through the tracing tree
- Add support for GICv5 Per Processor Interrupts (PPIs), as the
starting point for supporting the new GIC architecture in KVM
- Finally add support for pKVM protected guests, where pages are
unmapped from the host as they are faulted into the guest and can
be shared back from the guest using pKVM hypercalls. Protected
guests are created using a new machine type identifier. As the
elusive guestmem has not yet delivered on its promises, anonymous
memory is also supported
This is only a first step towards full isolation from the host; for
example, the CPU register state and DMA accesses are not yet
isolated. Because this does not really yet bring fully what it
promises, it is hidden behind CONFIG_ARM_PKVM_GUEST +
'kvm-arm.mode=protected', and also triggers TAINT_USER when a VM is
created. Caveat emptor
- Rework the dreaded user_mem_abort() function to make it more
maintainable, reducing the amount of state being exposed to the
various helpers and rendering a substantial amount of state
immutable
- Expand the Stage-2 page table dumper to support NV shadow page
tables on a per-VM basis
- Tidy up the pKVM PSCI proxy code to be slightly less hard to
follow
- Fix both SPE and TRBE in non-VHE configurations so that they do not
generate spurious, out of context table walks that ultimately lead
to very bad HW lockups
- A small set of patches fixing the Stage-2 MMU freeing in error
cases
- Tighten-up accepted SMC immediate value to be only #0 for host
SMCCC calls
- The usual cleanups and other selftest churn
LoongArch:
- Use CSR_CRMD_PLV for kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel()
- Add DMSINTC irqchip in kernel support
RISC-V:
- Fix steal time shared memory alignment checks
- Fix vector context allocation leak
- Fix array out-of-bounds in pmu_ctr_read() and pmu_fw_ctr_read_hi()
- Fix double-free of sdata in kvm_pmu_clear_snapshot_area()
- Fix integer overflow in kvm_pmu_validate_counter_mask()
- Fix shift-out-of-bounds in make_xfence_request()
- Fix lost write protection on huge pages during dirty logging
- Split huge pages during fault handling for dirty logging
- Skip CSR restore if VCPU is reloaded on the same core
- Implement kvm_arch_has_default_irqchip() for KVM selftests
- Factored-out ISA checks into separate sources
- Added hideleg to struct kvm_vcpu_config
- Factored-out VCPU config into separate sources
- Support configuration of per-VM HGATP mode from KVM user space
s390:
- Support for ESA (31-bit) guests inside nested hypervisors
- Remove restriction on memslot alignment, which is not needed
anymore with the new gmap code
- Fix LPSW/E to update the bear (which of course is the breaking
event address register)
x86:
- Shut up various UBSAN warnings on reading module parameter before
they were initialized
- Don't zero-allocate page tables that are used for splitting
hugepages in the TDP MMU, as KVM is guaranteed to set all SPTEs in
the page table and thus write all bytes
- As an optimization, bail early when trying to unsync 4KiB mappings
if the target gfn can just be mapped with a 2MiB hugepage
x86 generic:
- Copy single-chunk MMIO write values into struct kvm_vcpu (more
precisely struct kvm_mmio_fragment) to fix use-after-free stack
bugs where KVM would dereference stack pointer after an exit to
userspace
- Clean up and comment the emulated MMIO code to try to make it
easier to maintain (not necessarily "easy", but "easier")
- Move VMXON+VMXOFF and EFER.SVME toggling out of KVM (not *all* of
VMX and SVM enabling) as it is needed for trusted I/O
- Advertise support for AVX512 Bit Matrix Multiply (BMM) instructions
- Immediately fail the build if a required #define is missing in one
of KVM's headers that is included multiple times
- Reject SET_GUEST_DEBUG with -EBUSY if there's an already injected
exception, mostly to prevent syzkaller from abusing the uAPI to
trigger WARNs, but also because it can help prevent userspace from
unintentionally crashing the VM
- Exempt SMM from CPUID faulting on Intel, as per the spec
- Misc hardening and cleanup changes
x86 (AMD):
- Fix and optimize IRQ window inhibit handling for AVIC; make it
per-vCPU so that KVM doesn't prematurely re-enable AVIC if multiple
vCPUs have to-be-injected IRQs
- Clean up and optimize the OSVW handling, avoiding a bug in which
KVM would overwrite state when enabling virtualization on multiple
CPUs in parallel. This should not be a problem because OSVW should
usually be the same for all CPUs
- Drop a WARN in KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION where KVM complains
about a "too large" size based purely on user input
- Clean up and harden the pinning code for KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION
- Disallow synchronizing a VMSA of an already-launched/encrypted
vCPU, as doing so for an SNP guest will crash the host due to an
RMP violation page fault
- Overhaul KVM's APIs for detecting SEV+ guests so that VM-scoped
queries are required to hold kvm->lock, and enforce it by lockdep.
Fix various bugs where sev_guest() was not ensured to be stable for
the whole duration of a function or ioctl
- Convert a pile of kvm->lock SEV code to guard()
- Play nicer with userspace that does not enable
KVM_CAP_EXCEPTION_PAYLOAD, for which KVM needs to set CR2 and DR6
as a response to ioctls such as KVM_GET_VCPU_EVENTS (even if the
payload would end up in EXITINFO2 rather than CR2, for example).
Only set CR2 and DR6 when consumption of the payload is imminent,
but on the other hand force delivery of the payload in all paths
where userspace retrieves CR2 or DR6
- Use vcpu->arch.cr2 when updating vmcb12's CR2 on nested #VMEXIT
instead of vmcb02->save.cr2. The value is out of sync after a
save/restore or after a #PF is injected into L2
- Fix a class of nSVM bugs where some fields written by the CPU are
not synchronized from vmcb02 to cached vmcb12 after VMRUN, and so
are not up-to-date when saved by KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE
- Fix a class of bugs where the ordering between KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE
and KVM_SET_{S}REGS could cause vmcb02 to be incorrectly
initialized after save+restore
- Add a variety of missing nSVM consistency checks
- Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly update VMCB fields
on nested #VMEXIT
- Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly synthesize #UD or
#GP for SVM-related instructions
- Add support for save+restore of virtualized LBRs (on SVM)
- Refactor various helpers and macros to improve clarity and
(hopefully) make the code easier to maintain
- Aggressively sanitize fields when copying from vmcb12, to guard
against unintentionally allowing L1 to utilize yet-to-be-defined
features
- Fix several bugs where KVM botched rAX legality checks when
emulating SVM instructions. There are remaining issues in that KVM
doesn't handle size prefix overrides for 64-bit guests
- Fail emulation of VMRUN/VMLOAD/VMSAVE if mapping vmcb12 fails
instead of somewhat arbitrarily synthesizing #GP (i.e. don't double
down on AMD's architectural but sketchy behavior of generating #GP
for "unsupported" addresses)
- Cache all used vmcb12 fields to further harden against TOCTOU bugs
x86 (Intel):
- Drop obsolete branch hint prefixes from the VMX instruction macros
- Use ASM_INPUT_RM() in __vmcs_writel() to coerce clang into using a
register input when appropriate
- Code cleanups
guest_memfd:
- Don't mark guest_memfd folios as accessed, as guest_memfd doesn't
support reclaim, the memory is unevictable, and there is no storage
to write back to
LoongArch selftests:
- Add KVM PMU test cases
s390 selftests:
- Enable more memory selftests
x86 selftests:
- Add support for Hygon CPUs in KVM selftests
- Fix a bug in the MSR test where it would get false failures on
AMD/Hygon CPUs with exactly one of RDPID or RDTSCP
- Add an MADV_COLLAPSE testcase for guest_memfd as a regression test
for a bug where the kernel would attempt to collapse guest_memfd
folios against KVM's will"

Pull timer core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- A rework of the hrtimer subsystem to reduce the overhead for
frequently armed timers, especially the hrtick scheduler timer:
- Better timer locality decision
- Simplification of the evaluation of the first expiry time by
keeping track of the neighbor timers in the RB-tree by providing
a RB-tree variant with neighbor links. That avoids walking the
RB-tree on removal to find the next expiry time, but even more
important allows to quickly evaluate whether a timer which is
rearmed changes the position in the RB-tree with the modified
expiry time or not. If not, the dequeue/enqueue sequence which
both can end up in rebalancing can be completely avoided.
- Deferred reprogramming of the underlying clock event device. This
optimizes for the situation where a hrtimer callback sets the
need resched bit. In that case the code attempts to defer the
re-programming of the clock event device up to the point where
the scheduler has picked the next task and has the next hrtick
timer armed. In case that there is no immediate reschedule or
soft interrupts have to be handled before reaching the reschedule
point in the interrupt entry code the clock event is reprogrammed
in one of those code paths to prevent that the timer becomes
stale.
- Support for clocksource coupled clockevents
The TSC deadline timer is coupled to the TSC. The next event is
programmed in TSC time. Currently this is done by converting the
CLOCK_MONOTONIC based expiry value into a relative timeout,
converting it into TSC ticks, reading the TSC adding the delta
ticks and writing the deadline MSR.
As the timekeeping core has the conversion factors for the TSC
already, the whole back and forth conversion can be completely
avoided. The timekeeping core calculates the reverse conversion
factors from nanoseconds to TSC ticks and utilizes the base
timestamps of TSC and CLOCK_MONOTONIC which are updated once per
tick. This allows a direct conversion into the TSC deadline value
without reading the time and as a bonus keeps the deadline
conversion in sync with the TSC conversion factors, which are
updated by adjtimex() on systems with NTP/PTP enabled.
- Allow inlining of the clocksource read and clockevent write
functions when they are tiny enough, e.g. on x86 RDTSC and WRMSR.
With all those enhancements in place a hrtick enabled scheduler
provides the same performance as without hrtick. But also other
hrtimer users obviously benefit from these optimizations.
- Robustness improvements and cleanups of historical sins in the
hrtimer and timekeeping code.
- Rewrite of the clocksource watchdog.
The clocksource watchdog code has over time reached the state of an
impenetrable maze of duct tape and staples. The original design,
which was made in the context of systems far smaller than today, is
based on the assumption that the to be monitored clocksource (TSC)
can be trivially compared against a known to be stable clocksource
(HPET/ACPI-PM timer).
Over the years this rather naive approach turned out to have major
flaws. Long delays between the watchdog invocations can cause wrap
arounds of the reference clocksource. The access to the reference
clocksource degrades on large multi-sockets systems dure to
interconnect congestion. This has been addressed with various
heuristics which degraded the accuracy of the watchdog to the point
that it fails to detect actual TSC problems on older hardware which
exposes slow inter CPU drifts due to firmware manipulating the TSC to
hide SMI time.
The rewrite addresses this by:
- Restricting the validation against the reference clocksource to
the boot CPU which is usually closest to the legacy block which
contains the reference clocksource (HPET/ACPI-PM).
- Do a round robin validation betwen the boot CPU and the other
CPUs based only on the TSC with an algorithm similar to the TSC
synchronization code during CPU hotplug.
- Being more leniant versus remote timeouts
- The usual tiny fixes, cleanups and enhancements all over the place

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"Once again, cpufreq is the most active development area, mostly
because of the new feature additions and documentation updates in the
amd-pstate driver, but there are also changes in the cpufreq core
related to boost support and other assorted updates elsewhere.
Next up are power capping changes due to the major cleanup of the
Intel RAPL driver.
On the cpuidle front, a new C-states table for Intel Panther Lake is
added to the intel_idle driver, the stopped tick handling in the menu
and teo governors is updated, and there are a couple of cleanups.
Apart from the above, support for Tegra114 is added to devfreq and
there are assorted cleanups of that code, there are also two updates
of the operating performance points (OPP) library, two minor updates
related to hibernation, and cpupower utility man pages updates and
cleanups.
Specifics:
- Update qcom-hw DT bindings to include Eliza hardware (Abel Vesa)
- Update cpufreq-dt-platdev blocklist (Faruque Ansari)
- Minor updates to driver and dt-bindings for Tegra (Thierry Reding,

- Fix sysfs files being present when HW missing and broken/outdated
documentation in the amd-pstate driver (Ninad Naik, Gautham Shenoy)
- Pass the policy to cpufreq_driver->adjust_perf() to avoid using
cpufreq_cpu_get() in the .adjust_perf() callback in amd-pstate
which leads to a scheduling-while-atomic bug (K Prateek Nayak)
- Clean up dead code in Kconfig for cpufreq (Julian Braha)
- Remove max_freq_req update for pre-existing cpufreq policy and add
a boost_freq_req QoS request to save the boost constraint instead
of overwriting the last scaling_max_freq constraint (Pierre
Gondois)
- Embed cpufreq QoS freq_req objects in cpufreq policy so they all
are allocated in one go along with the policy to simplify lifetime
rules and avoid error handling issues (Viresh Kumar)
- Use DMI max speed when CPPC is unavailable in the acpi-cpufreq
scaling driver (Henry Tseng)
- Switch policy_is_shared() in cpufreq to using cpumask_nth() instead
of cpumask_weight() because the former is more efficient (Yury
Norov)
- Use sysfs_emit() in sysfs show functions for cpufreq governor
attributes (Thorsten Blum)
- Update intel_pstate to stop returning an error when "off" is
written to its status sysfs attribute while the driver is already
off (Fabio De Francesco)

Biggers)
- Clean up and rearrange the intel_rapl power capping driver to make
the respective interface drivers (TPMI, MSR, and MMOI) hold their
own settings and primitives and consolidate PL4 and PMU support
flags into rapl_defaults (Kuppuswamy Sathyanarayanan)
- Correct kernel-doc function parameter names in the power capping
core code (Randy Dunlap)
- Remove unneeded casting for HZ_PER_KHZ in devfreq (Andy Shevchenko)
- Use _visible attribute to replace create/remove_sysfs_files() in

to the cpupower-frequency-info man page, and add the perf-bias
option to the cpupower-info man page (Roberto Ricci)

clocksource: Rewrite watchdog code completely
The clocksource watchdog code has over time reached the state of an
impenetrable maze of duct tape and staples. The original design, which was
made in the context of systems far smaller than today, is based on the
assumption that the to be monitored clocksource (TSC) can be trivially
compared against a known to be stable clocksource (HPET/ACPI-PM timer).
Over the years it turned out that this approach has major flaws:
- Long delays between watchdog invocations can result in wrap arounds
of the reference clocksource
- Scalability of the reference clocksource readout can degrade on large
multi-socket systems due to interconnect congestion
This was addressed with various heuristics which degraded the accuracy of
the watchdog to the point that it fails to detect actual TSC problems on
older hardware which exposes slow inter CPU drifts due to firmware
manipulating the TSC to hide SMI time.
To address this and bring back sanity to the watchdog, rewrite the code
completely with a different approach:
1) Restrict the validation against a reference clocksource to the boot
CPU, which is usually the CPU/Socket closest to the legacy block which
contains the reference source (HPET/ACPI-PM timer). Validate that the
reference readout is within a bound latency so that the actual
comparison against the TSC stays within 500ppm as long as the clocks
are stable.
2) Compare the TSCs of the other CPUs in a round robin fashion against
the boot CPU in the same way the TSC synchronization on CPU hotplug
works. This still can suffer from delayed reaction of the remote CPU
to the SMP function call and the latency of the control variable cache
line. But this latency is not affecting correctness. It only affects
the accuracy. With low contention the readout latency is in the low
nanoseconds range, which detects even slight skews between CPUs. Under
high contention this becomes obviously less accurate, but still
detects slow skews reliably as it solely relies on subsequent readouts
being monotonically increasing. It just can take slightly longer to
detect the issue.
3) Rewrite the watchdog test so it tests the various mechanisms one by
one and validating the result against the expectation.

x86/vsyscall: Disable LASS if vsyscall mode is set to EMULATE
The EMULATE mode of vsyscall maps the vsyscall page with a high kernel
address directly into user address space. Reading the vsyscall page in
EMULATE mode would cause LASS to trigger a #GP.
Fixing the LASS violation in EMULATE mode would require complex
instruction decoding because the resulting #GP does include the
necessary error information, and the vsyscall address is not
readily available in the RIP.
The EMULATE mode has been deprecated since 2022 and can only be enabled
using the command line parameter vsyscall=emulate. See commit

ima: remove buggy support for asynchronous hashes
IMA computes hashes using the crypto_shash or crypto_ahash API. The latter is used only when ima.ahash_minsize is set on the command line, and its purpose is ostensibly to make the hash computation faster. However, going off the CPU to a crypto engine and back again is actually quite slow, especially compared with the acceleration that is built into modern CPUs and the kernel now enables by default for most algorithms. Typical performance results for SHA-256 on a modern platform can be found at https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/20250615184638.GA1480@sol/ Partly for this reason, several other kernel subsystems have already dropped support for the crypto_ahash API. The other problem with crypto_ahash is that bugs are also common, not just in the underlying drivers, but also in the code using it, since it is very difficult to use correctly. Just from a quick review, here are some of the bugs I noticed in IMA's ahash code: - [Use after free] ima_alloc_atfm() isn't thread-safe and can trigger a use-after-free if multiple threads try to initialize the global ima_ahash_tfm at the same time. - [Deadlock] If only one buffer is allocated and there is an error reading from the file, then ahash_wait() is executed twice, causing a deadlock in wait_for_completion(). - [Crash or incorrect hash computed] calc_buffer_ahash_atfm() is sometimes passed stack buffers which can be vmalloc addresses, but it puts them in a scatterlist assuming they are linear addresses. This causes the hashing to be done on the wrong physical address. - [Truncation to 32-bit length] ima_alloc_pages() incorrectly assumes an loff_t value fits in an unsigned long. calc_buffer_ahash_atfm() incorrectly assumes that a loff_t value fits in an unsigned int. So, not exactly a great track record so far, even disregarding driver bugs which are an even larger problem. Fortunately, in practice it's unlikely that many users are actually setting the ima.ahash_minsize kernel command-line parameter which enables this code. However, given that this code is almost certainly no longer useful (if it ever was), let's just remove it instead of attempting to fix all these issues.

Pull USB fixes from Greg KH:
"Here is a large chunk of USB driver fixes for 7.0-rc4. Included in
here are:
- usb gadget reverts due to reported issues, and then a follow-on fix
to hopefully resolve the reported overall problem
- xhci driver fixes
- dwc3 driver fixes
- usb core "killable" bulk message api addition to fix a usbtmc
driver bug where userspace could hang the driver for forever
- small USB driver fixes for reported issues
- new usb device quirks
All except the last USB device quirk change have been in linux-next
with no reported issues. That one came in too late, and is 'obviously
correct' :)"

usb: core: new quirk to handle devices with zero configurations
Some USB devices incorrectly report bNumConfigurations as 0 in their device descriptor, which causes the USB core to reject them during enumeration. logs: usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71 usb 1-2: no configurations usb 1-2: can't read configurations, error -22 However, these devices actually work correctly when treated as having a single configuration. Add a new quirk USB_QUIRK_FORCE_ONE_CONFIG to handle such devices. When this quirk is set, assume the device has 1 configuration instead of failing with -EINVAL. This quirk is applied to the device with VID:PID 5131:2007 which exhibits this behavior.

ACPI: OSL: Poweroff when encountering a fatal ACPI error
The ACPI spec states that the operating system should respond to a fatal ACPI error by "performing a controlled OS shutdown in a timely fashion". Comply with the ACPI specification by powering off the system when ACPICA signals a fatal ACPI error. Users can still disable this behavior by using the acpi.poweroff_on_fatal kernel option to work around firmware bugs.
