Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:
 "This cycle, a lot of workqueue changes including some that are
  significant and invasive.

   - During v6.6 cycle, unbound workqueues were updated so that they are
     more topology aware and flexible, which among other things improved
     workqueue behavior on modern multi-L3 CPUs. In the process, commit
     636b927eba ("workqueue: Make unbound workqueues to use per-cpu
     pool_workqueues") switched unbound workqueues to use per-CPU
     frontend pool_workqueues as a part of increasing front-back mapping
     flexibility.

     An unwelcome side effect of this change was that this made max
     concurrency enforcement per-CPU blowing up the maximum number of
     allowed concurrent executions. I incorrectly assumed that this
     wouldn't cause practical problems as most unbound workqueue users
     are self-regulate max concurrency; however, there definitely are
     which don't (e.g. on IO paths) and the drastic increase in the
     allowed max concurrency led to noticeable perf regressions in some
     use cases.

     This is now addressed by separating out max concurrency enforcement
     to a separate struct - wq_node_nr_active - which makes @max_active
     consistently mean system-wide max concurrency regardless of the
     number of CPUs or (finally) NUMA nodes. This is a rather invasive
     and, in places, a bit clunky; however, the clunkiness rises from
     the the inherent requirement to handle the disagreement between the
     execution locality domain and max concurrency enforcement domain on
     some modern machines.

     See commit 5797b1c189 ("workqueue: Implement system-wide
     nr_active enforcement for unbound workqueues") for more details.

   - BH workqueue support is added.

     They are similar to per-CPU workqueues but execute work items in
     the softirq context. This is expected to replace tasklet. However,
     currently, it's missing the ability to disable and enable work
     items which is needed to convert many tasklet users. To avoid
     crowding this merge window too much, this will be included in the
     next merge window. A separate pull request will be sent for the
     couple conversion patches that are currently pending.

   - Waiman plugged a long-standing hole in workqueue CPU isolation
     where ordered workqueues didn't follow wq_unbound_cpumask updates.
     Ordered workqueues now follow the same rules as other unbound
     workqueues.

   - More CPU isolation improvements: Juri fixed another deficit in
     workqueue isolation where unbound rescuers don't respect
     wq_unbound_cpumask. Leonardo fixed delayed_work timers firing on
     isolated CPUs.

   - Other misc changes"

3bc1e711c2 workqueue: Don't implicitly make UNBOUND workqueues w/ @max_active==1 ordered
5c0338c687 ("workqueue: restore WQ_UNBOUND/max_active==1 to be ordered")
automoatically promoted UNBOUND workqueues w/ @max_active==1 to ordered
workqueues because UNBOUND workqueues w/ @max_active==1 used to be the way
to create ordered workqueues and the new NUMA support broke it. These
problems can be subtle and the fact that they can only trigger on NUMA
machines made them even more difficult to debug.

However, overloading the UNBOUND allocation interface this way creates other
issues. It's difficult to tell whether a given workqueue actually needs to
be ordered and users that legitimately want a min concurrency level wq
unexpectedly gets an ordered one instead. With planned UNBOUND workqueue
udpates to improve execution locality and more prevalence of chiplet designs
which can benefit from such improvements, this isn't a state we wanna be in
forever.

There aren't that many UNBOUND w/ @max_active==1 users in the tree and the
preceding patches audited all and converted them to
alloc_ordered_workqueue() as appropriate. This patch removes the implicit
promotion of UNBOUND w/ @max_active==1 workqueues to ordered ones.

v2: v1 patch incorrectly dropped !list_empty(&wq->pwqs) condition in
    apply_workqueue_attrs_locked() which spuriously triggers WARNING and
    fails workqueue creation. Fix it.

4cb1ef6460 workqueue: Implement BH workqueues to eventually replace tasklets
The only generic interface to execute asynchronously in the BH context is
tasklet; however, it's marked deprecated and has some design flaws such as
the execution code accessing the tasklet item after the execution is
complete which can lead to subtle use-after-free in certain usage scenarios
and less-developed flush and cancel mechanisms.

This patch implements BH workqueues which share the same semantics and
features of regular workqueues but execute their work items in the softirq
context. As there is always only one BH execution context per CPU, none of
the concurrency management mechanisms applies and a BH workqueue can be
thought of as a convenience wrapper around softirq.

Except for the inability to sleep while executing and lack of max_active
adjustments, BH workqueues and work items should behave the same as regular
workqueues and work items.

Currently, the execution is hooked to tasklet[_hi]. However, the goal is to
convert all tasklet users over to BH workqueues. Once the conversion is
complete, tasklet can be removed and BH workqueues can directly take over
the tasklet softirqs.

system_bh[_highpri]_wq are added. As queue-wide flushing doesn't exist in
tasklet, all existing tasklet users should be able to use the system BH
workqueues without creating their own workqueues.

v3: - Add missing interrupt.h include.

v2: - Instead of using tasklets, hook directly into its softirq action
      functions - tasklet[_hi]_action(). This is slightly cheaper and closer
      to the eventual code structure we want to arrive at. Suggested by Lai.

    - Lai also pointed out several places which need NULL worker->task
      handling or can use clarification. Updated.

 "This contains two major new drivers:

   - imagination is a first driver for Imagination Technologies devices,
     it only covers very specific devices, but there is hope to grow it

   - xe is a reboot of the i915 GPU (shares display) side using a more
     upstream focused development model, and trying to maximise code
     sharing. It's not enabled for any hw by default, and will hopefully
     get switched on for Intel's Lunarlake.

0445ee0004 mm/slab, docs: switch mm-api docs generation from slab.c to slub.c
The SLAB implementation is going to be removed, and mm-api.rst currently
uses mm/slab.c to obtain kerneldocs for some API functions. Switch it to
mm/slub.c and move the relevant kerneldocs of exported functions from
one to the other. The rest of kerneldocs in slab.c is for static SLAB
implementation-specific functions that don't have counterparts in slub.c
and thus can be simply removed with the implementation.

cf8e865810 arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture
The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals
that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX
or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to
enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether
things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some
distro packages that are rarely used in practice.

None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support
any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as
'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers
that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that
matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture
upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel
firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2
reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original
architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it
deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as
Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have
dropped support years ago.

While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common
good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the
Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the
fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on
Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in
the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64
could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is
actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case.

There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is
generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64
but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would
like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue
code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64
be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead
of keeping it supported is real.

So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely.
This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5],
which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known
good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow
once the kernel support is removed.

Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:

 - Unbound workqueues now support more flexible affinity scopes.

   The default behavior is to soft-affine according to last level cache
   boundaries. A work item queued from a given LLC is executed by a
   worker running on the same LLC but the worker may be moved across
   cache boundaries as the scheduler sees fit. On machines which
   multiple L3 caches, which are becoming more popular along with
   chiplet designs, this improves cache locality while not harming work
   conservation too much.

   Unbound workqueues are now also a lot more flexible in terms of
   execution affinity. Differeing levels of affinity scopes are
   supported and both the default and per-workqueue affinity settings
   can be modified dynamically. This should help working around amny of
   sub-optimal behaviors observed recently with asymmetric ARM CPUs.

   This involved signficant restructuring of workqueue code. Nothing was
   reported yet but there's some risk of subtle regressions. Should keep
   an eye out.

 - Rescuer workers now has more identifiable comms.

 - workqueue.unbound_cpus added so that CPUs which can be used by
   workqueue can be constrained early during boot.

 - Now that all the in-tree users have been flushed out, trigger warning
   if system-wide workqueues are flushed.

   - Create a library function for intlog10() and use it in the NAU8825
     driver
   - Convert drivers to use the more modern maple tree register cache
   - Lots of work on the SOF framework, AMD and Intel drivers, including
     a lot of cleanup and new device support
   - Standardization of the presentation of jacks from drivers
   - Provision of some generic sound card DT properties
   - Support for AMD Van Gogh, AMD machines with MAX98388 and NAU8821,
     AWInic AW88261, Cirrus Logic CS35L36 and CS42L43, various Intel
     platforms including AVS machines with ES8336 and RT5663, Mediatek
     MT7986, NXP i.MX93, RealTek RT1017 and StarFive JH7110

  Others:
   - New test coverage including ASoC and topology tests in KUnit; this
     also involves enabling UML builds of ALSA since that's the default
     KUnit test environment which pulls in the addition of some stubs to
     the driver
   - More enhancement of pcmtest driver
   - A few fixes / enhancements of MIDI 2.0 UMP core
   - Using PCI definitions in allover HD-audio code
   - Support for Cirrus CS35L56 and TI TAS2781 HD-audio sub-codecs
   - CS35L41 HD-audio sub-codec improvements
   - Continued emu10k1 improvements"
