Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for
watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls,
loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net,
drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a
registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or
modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function.
Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of
proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata.
This is made possible after commit 78eb4ea25c ("sysctl: treewide:
constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers") constified all the
proc_handlers.
Created this by running an spatch followed by a sed command:

- I'm switching to a new email address, so update that
- Minor fixes for formats and return values and missing ifdefs
- A fix for some error handling that causes a loss of messages
* tag 'for-linus-6.14-1' of https://github.com/cminyard/linux-ipmi:
MAINTAINERS: ipmi: update my email address

char:ipmi: Fix a not-used variable on a non-ACPI system
char:ipmi: Fix the wrong format specifier
ipmi: ipmb: Add check devm_kasprintf() returned value
Return value of ipmi_destroy_user() has no meaning, because it's always
zero and callers can do nothing with it. And in most cases it's not
checked. So make this function return void. This also will eliminate static
code analyzer warnings such as unreachable code/redundant comparison when
the return value is checked against non-zero value.

The continual trickle of small conversion patches is grating on me, and
is really not helping. Just get rid of the 'remove_new' member
function, which is just an alias for the plain 'remove', and had a
comment to that effect:
/*
* .remove_new() is a relic from a prototype conversion of .remove().
* New drivers are supposed to implement .remove(). Once all drivers are
* converted to not use .remove_new any more, it will be dropped.
*/
This was just a tree-wide 'sed' script that replaced '.remove_new' with
'.remove', with some care taken to turn a subsequent tab into two tabs
to make things line up.
I did do some minimal manual whitespace adjustment for places that used
spaces to line things up.
Then I just removed the old (sic) .remove_new member function, and this
is the end result. No more unnecessary conversion noise.

no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b144
("fs: remove no_llseek")
To quote that commit,
At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek -
git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do
sed -i '/\<no_llseek\>/d' $i
done
would do it.
Unfortunately, that hadn't been done. Linus, could you do that now, so
that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the
form
.llseek = no_llseek,
so it's obviously safe.

Pull IPMI updates from Corey Minyard:
"Some minor fixes and cleanups for IPMI. Nothing big.
Handle a bogus BMC a little better, fix autoload on some systems,
remove some deprecated interfaces from the docs"
* tag 'for-linus-6.12-1' of https://github.com/cminyard/linux-ipmi:
ipmi: docs: don't advertise deprecated sysfs entries
ipmi:ssif: Improve detecting during probing
ipmi: ipmi_ssif: fix module autoloading
If an IPMI SSIF device is probed and there is something there, but
probably not an actual BMC, the code would just issue a lot of errors
before it failed. We kind of need these errors to help with certain
issues, and some of the failure reports are non-fatal.
However, a get device id command should alway work. If that fails,
nothing else is going to work and it's a pretty good indication that
there's no valid BMC there. So issue and check that command and bail
if it fails.

These drivers don't use the driver_data member of struct i2c_device_id,
so don't explicitly initialize this member.
This prepares putting driver_data in an anonymous union which requires
either no initialization or named designators. But it's also a nice
cleanup on its own.
While at it, also remove commas after the sentinel entries.

There are actually two bugs here. First, we need to ensure that count
is at least sizeof(u32) or msg.len will be uninitialized data.
The "msg.len" variable is a u32 that comes from the user. On 32bit
systems the "sizeof_field(struct ipmi_ssif_msg, len) + msg.len"
addition can overflow if "msg.len" is greater than U32_MAX - 4.
Valid lengths for "msg.len" are 1-254. Add a check for that to
prevent the integer overflow.

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart
from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks.
To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return
void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to
.remove_new(), which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers
are converted, .remove_new() will be renamed to .remove().
Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.

The only generic interface to execute asynchronously in the BH context is
tasklet; however, it's marked deprecated and has some design flaws. To
replace tasklets, BH workqueue support was recently added. A BH workqueue
behaves similarly to regular workqueues except that the queued work items
are executed in the BH context.
This patch converts drivers/char/ipmi/* from tasklet to BH workqueue.
