eff2eb592e cxl: Fix cross-reference in documentation and add deprecation warning
commit 5731d41af9 ("cxl: Deprecate driver") labelled the cxl driver as
deprecated and moved the ABI documentation to the obsolete/ subdirectory,
but didn't update cxl.rst, causing a warning once ff7ff6eb4f809 ("docs:
media: Allow creating cross-references for RC ABI") was merged.

Fix the cross-reference, and also add a deprecation warning.

1d6d399223 Merge tag 'kthread-for-6.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks
Pull kthread updates from Frederic Weisbecker:
 "Kthreads affinity follow either of 4 existing different patterns:

   1) Per-CPU kthreads must stay affine to a single CPU and never
      execute relevant code on any other CPU. This is currently handled
      by smpboot code which takes care of CPU-hotplug operations.
      Affinity here is a correctness constraint.

   2) Some kthreads _have_ to be affine to a specific set of CPUs and
      can't run anywhere else. The affinity is set through
      kthread_bind_mask() and the subsystem takes care by itself to
      handle CPU-hotplug operations. Affinity here is assumed to be a
      correctness constraint.

   3) Per-node kthreads _prefer_ to be affine to a specific NUMA node.
      This is not a correctness constraint but merely a preference in
      terms of memory locality. kswapd and kcompactd both fall into this
      category. The affinity is set manually like for any other task and
      CPU-hotplug is supposed to be handled by the relevant subsystem so
      that the task is properly reaffined whenever a given CPU from the
      node comes up. Also care should be taken so that the node affinity
      doesn't cross isolated (nohz_full) cpumask boundaries.

   4) Similar to the previous point except kthreads have a _preferred_
      affinity different than a node. Both RCU boost kthreads and RCU
      exp kworkers fall into this category as they refer to "RCU nodes"
      from a distinctly distributed tree.

  Currently the preferred affinity patterns (3 and 4) have at least 4
  identified users, with more or less success when it comes to handle
  CPU-hotplug operations and CPU isolation. Each of which do it in its
  own ad-hoc way.

  This is an infrastructure proposal to handle this with the following
  API changes:

   - kthread_create_on_node() automatically affines the created kthread
     to its target node unless it has been set as per-cpu or bound with
     kthread_bind[_mask]() before the first wake-up.

   - kthread_affine_preferred() is a new function that can be called
     right after kthread_create_on_node() to specify a preferred
     affinity different than the specified node.

  When the preferred affinity can't be applied because the possible
  targets are offline or isolated (nohz_full), the kthread is affine to
  the housekeeping CPUs (which means to all online CPUs most of the time
  or only the non-nohz_full CPUs when nohz_full= is set).

  kswapd, kcompactd, RCU boost kthreads and RCU exp kworkers have been
  converted, along with a few old drivers.

  Summary of the changes:

   - Consolidate a bunch of ad-hoc implementations of
     kthread_run_on_cpu()

   - Introduce task_cpu_fallback_mask() that defines the default last
     resort affinity of a task to become nohz_full aware

   - Add some correctness check to ensure kthread_bind() is always
     called before the first kthread wake up.

   - Default affine kthread to its preferred node.

   - Convert kswapd / kcompactd and remove their halfway working ad-hoc
     affinity implementation

   - Implement kthreads preferred affinity

   - Unify kthread worker and kthread API's style

   - Convert RCU kthreads to the new API and remove the ad-hoc affinity
     implementation"

2613c15b0c Merge patch series "riscv: Add support for xtheadvector"
Charlie Jenkins <charlie@rivosinc.com> says:

xtheadvector is a custom extension that is based upon riscv vector
version 0.7.1 [1]. All of the vector routines have been modified to
support this alternative vector version based upon whether xtheadvector
was determined to be supported at boot.

vlenb is not supported on the existing xtheadvector hardware, so a
devicetree property thead,vlenb is added to provide the vlenb to Linux.

There is a new hwprobe key RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_VENDOR_EXT_THEAD_0 that is
used to request which thead vendor extensions are supported on the
current platform. This allows future vendors to allocate hwprobe keys
for their vendor.

Support for xtheadvector is also added to the vector kselftests.

6912bdb7c6 Documentation: Fix x86_64 UEFI outdated references to elilo
Problem: The x86_64 UEFI doc references Elilo which is an
unmaintained/orphaned bootloader project. Also, on x86_64 a bootloader
is technically not actually required since there is support for the
Linux EFI stub.

Solution: Remove the references to Elilo from the doc and refer to the
EFI stub doc page, update steps accordingly, and add more details about
creation of the EFI partition to improve clarity.

fd10f08cb5 Documentation: arm64: Remove stale and redundant virtual memory diagrams
The arm64 'memory.rst' file tries to document the virtual memory map
and the translation procedure for a couple of kernel configurations.

Unfortunately, the virtual memory map changes relatively frequently and
we support considerably more configurations than we did when the docs
were introduced (e.g. we now have support for 16KiB pages and 52-bit
addressing). Furthermore, the Arm ARM is the definitive resource for the
translation procedure and so there's little point in duplicating part
of that information in the kernel documentation.

Rather than continue trying (and failing) to maintain these diagrams,
let's rip them out. The kernel page-table can be dumped using
CONFIG_PTDUMP_DEBUGFS if necesssary.

4a1567b466 arm64: Exclude nohz_full CPUs from 32bits el0 support
Nohz full CPUs are not a desirable fallback target to run 32bits el0
applications. If present, prefer a set of housekeeping CPUs that can do
the job instead. Otherwise just don't support el0 32 bits. Should the
need arise, appropriate support can be introduced in the future.

819935464c arm64/hwcap: Describe 2024 dpISA extensions to userspace
The 2024 dpISA introduces a number of architecture features all of which
only add new instructions so only require the addition of hwcaps and ID
register visibility.

064737920b arm64: Filter out SVE hwcaps when FEAT_SVE isn't implemented
The hwcaps code that exposes SVE features to userspace only
considers ID_AA64ZFR0_EL1, while this is only valid when
ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.SVE advertises that SVE is actually supported.

The expectations are that when ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.SVE is 0, the
ID_AA64ZFR0_EL1 register is also 0. So far, so good.

Things become a bit more interesting if the HW implements SME.
In this case, a few ID_AA64ZFR0_EL1 fields indicate *SME*
features. And these fields overlap with their SVE interpretations.
But the architecture says that the SME and SVE feature sets must
match, so we're still hunky-dory.

This goes wrong if the HW implements SME, but not SVE. In this
case, we end-up advertising some SVE features to userspace, even
if the HW has none. That's because we never consider whether SVE
is actually implemented. Oh well.

Fix it by restricting all SVE capabilities to ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.SVE
being non-zero. The HWCAPS documentation is amended to reflect the
actually checks performed by the kernel.

ef4144b1b4 iommu/arm-smmu: Re-enable context caching in smmu reset operation
Default MMU-500 reset operation disables context caching in prefetch
buffer. It is however expected for context banks using the ACTLR
register to retain their prefetch value during reset and runtime
suspend.

Add config 'ARM_SMMU_MMU_500_CPRE_ERRATA' to gate this errata workaround
in default MMU-500 reset operation which defaults to 'Y' and provide
option to disable workaround for context caching in prefetch buffer as
and when needed.
