a7408b56e5 ynl: support binary and integer sub-type for indexed-array
Add binary and integer sub-type support for indexed-array to display bond
arp and ns targets. Here is what the result looks like:

 # ip link add bond0 type bond mode 1 \
   arp_ip_target 192.168.1.1,192.168.1.2 ns_ip6_target 2001::1,2001::2
 # ./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/rt_link.yaml \
   --do getlink --json '{"ifname": "bond0"}' --output-json | jq '.linkinfo'

    "arp-ip-target": [
      "192.168.1.1",
      "192.168.1.2"
    ],
    [...]
    "ns-ip6-target": [
      "2001::1",
      "2001::2"
    ],

aa6485d813 ynl: rename array-nest to indexed-array
Some implementations, like bonding, has nest array with same attr type.
To support all kinds of entries under one nest array. As discussed[1],
let's rename array-nest to indexed-array, and assuming the value is
a nest by passing the type via sub-type.

Pull gpio updates from Bartosz Golaszewski:
 "The biggest feature is the locking overhaul. Up until now the
  synchronization in the GPIO subsystem was broken. There was a single
  spinlock "protecting" multiple data structures but doing it wrong (as
  evidenced by several places where it would be released when a sleeping
  function was called and then reacquired without checking the protected
  state).

  We tried to use an RW semaphore before but the main issue with GPIO is
  that we have drivers implementing the interfaces in both sleeping and
  non-sleeping ways as well as user-facing interfaces that can be called
  both from process as well as atomic contexts. Both ends converge in
  the same code paths that can use neither spinlocks nor mutexes. The
  only reasonable way out is to use SRCU and go mostly lockless. To that
  end: we add several SRCU structs in relevant places and use them to
  assure consistency between API calls together with atomic reads and
  writes of GPIO descriptor flags where it makes sense.

  This code has spent several weeks in next and has received several
  fixes in the first week or two after which it stabilized nicely. The
  GPIO subsystem is now resilient to providers being suddenly unbound.
  We managed to also remove the existing character device RW semaphore
  and the obsolete global spinlock.

  Other than the locking rework we have one new driver (for Chromebook
  EC), much appreciated documentation improvements from Kent and the
  regular driver improvements, DT-bindings updates and GPIOLIB core
  tweaks.

  Serialization rework:
   - use SRCU to serialize access to the global GPIO device list, to
     GPIO device structs themselves and to GPIO descriptors
   - make the GPIO subsystem resilient to the GPIO providers being
     unbound while the API calls are in progress
   - don't dereference the SRCU-protected chip pointer if the
     information we need can be obtained from the GPIO device structure
   - move some of the information contained in struct gpio_chip to
     struct gpio_device to further reduce the need to dereference the
     former
   - pass the GPIO device struct instead of the GPIO chip to sysfs
     callback to, again, reduce the need for accessing the latter
   - get GPIO descriptors from the GPIO device, not from the chip for
     the same reason
   - allow for mostly lockless operation of the GPIO driver API: assure
     consistency with SRCU and atomic operations
   - remove the global GPIO spinlock
   - remove the character device RW semaphore

  Core GPIOLIB:
   - constify pointers in GPIO API where applicable
   - unify the GPIO counting APIs for ACPI and OF
   - provide a macro for iterating over all GPIOs, not only the ones
     that are requested
   - remove leftover typedefs
   - pass the consumer device to GPIO core in
     devm_fwnode_gpiod_get_index() for improved logging
   - constify the GPIO bus type
   - don't warn about removing GPIO chips with descriptors still held by
     users as we can now handle this situation gracefully
   - remove unused logging helpers
   - unexport functions that are only used internally in the GPIO
     subsystem
   - set the device type (assign the relevant struct device_type) for
     GPIO devices

  New drivers:
   - add the ChromeOS EC GPIO driver

  Driver improvements:
   - allow building gpio-vf610 with COMPILE_TEST as well as disabling it
     in menuconfig (before it was always built for i.MX cofigs)
   - count the number of EICs using the device properties instead of
     hard-coding it in gpio-eic-sprd
   - improve the device naming, extend the debugfs output and add
     lockdep asserts to gpio-sim

  DT bindings:
   - document the 'label' property for gpio-pca9570
   - convert aspeed,ast2400-gpio bindings to DT schema
   - disallow unevaluated properties for gpio-mvebu
   - document a new model in renesas,rcar-gpio

  Documentation:
   - improve the character device kerneldocs in user-space headers
   - add proper documentation for the character device uAPI (both v1 and v2)
   - move the sysfs and gpio-mockup docs into the "obsolete" section
   - improve naming consistency for GPIO terms
   - clarify the line values description for sysfs
   - minor docs improvements
   - improve the driver API contract for setting GPIO direction
   - mark unsafe APIs as deprecated in kerneldocs and suggest
     replacements

  Other:
   - remove an obsolete test from selftests"

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core & protocols:

   - Large effort by Eric to lower rtnl_lock pressure and remove locks:

      - Make commonly used parts of rtnetlink (address, route dumps
        etc) lockless, protected by RCU instead of rtnl_lock.

      - Add a netns exit callback which already holds rtnl_lock,
        allowing netns exit to take rtnl_lock once in the core instead
        of once for each driver / callback.

      - Remove locks / serialization in the socket diag interface.

      - Remove 6 calls to synchronize_rcu() while holding rtnl_lock.

      - Remove the dev_base_lock, depend on RCU where necessary.

   - Support busy polling on a per-epoll context basis. Poll length and
     budget parameters can be set independently of system defaults.

   - Introduce struct net_hotdata, to make sure read-mostly global
     config variables fit in as few cache lines as possible.

   - Add optional per-nexthop statistics to ease monitoring / debug of
     ECMP imbalance problems.

   - Support TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT in MPTCP.

   - Ensure that IPv6 temporary addresses' preferred lifetimes are long
     enough, compared to other configured lifetimes, and at least 2 sec.

   - Support forwarding of ICMP Error messages in IPSec, per RFC 4301.

   - Add support for the independent control state machine for bonding
     per IEEE 802.1AX-2008 5.4.15 in addition to the existing coupled
     control state machine.

   - Add "network ID" to MCTP socket APIs to support hosts with multiple
     disjoint MCTP networks.

   - Re-use the mono_delivery_time skbuff bit for packets which user
     space wants to be sent at a specified time. Maintain the timing
     information while traversing veth links, bridge etc.

   - Take advantage of MSG_SPLICE_PAGES for RxRPC DATA and ACK packets.

   - Simplify many places iterating over netdevs by using an xarray
     instead of a hash table walk (hash table remains in place, for use
     on fastpaths).

   - Speed up scanning for expired routes by keeping a dedicated list.

   - Speed up "generic" XDP by trying harder to avoid large allocations.

   - Support attaching arbitrary metadata to netconsole messages.

  Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

   - Enforce VM_IOREMAP flag and range in ioremap_page_range and
     introduce VM_SPARSE kind and vm_area_[un]map_pages (used by
     bpf_arena).

   - Rework selftest harness to enable the use of the full range of ksft
     exit code (pass, fail, skip, xfail, xpass).

  Netfilter:

   - Allow userspace to define a table that is exclusively owned by a
     daemon (via netlink socket aliveness) without auto-removing this
     table when the userspace program exits. Such table gets marked as
     orphaned and a restarting management daemon can re-attach/regain
     ownership.

   - Speed up element insertions to nftables' concatenated-ranges set
     type. Compact a few related data structures.

  BPF:

   - Add BPF token support for delegating a subset of BPF subsystem
     functionality from privileged system-wide daemons such as systemd
     through special mount options for userns-bound BPF fs to a trusted
     & unprivileged application.

   - Introduce bpf_arena which is sparse shared memory region between
     BPF program and user space where structures inside the arena can
     have pointers to other areas of the arena, and pointers work
     seamlessly for both user-space programs and BPF programs.

   - Introduce may_goto instruction that is a contract between the
     verifier and the program. The verifier allows the program to loop
     assuming it's behaving well, but reserves the right to terminate
     it.

   - Extend the BPF verifier to enable static subprog calls in spin lock
     critical sections.

   - Support registration of struct_ops types from modules which helps
     projects like fuse-bpf that seeks to implement a new struct_ops
     type.

   - Add support for retrieval of cookies for perf/kprobe multi links.

   - Support arbitrary TCP SYN cookie generation / validation in the TC
     layer with BPF to allow creating SYN flood handling in BPF
     firewalls.

   - Add code generation to inline the bpf_kptr_xchg() helper which
     improves performance when stashing/popping the allocated BPF
     objects.

  Wireless:

   - Add SPP (signaling and payload protected) AMSDU support.

   - Support wider bandwidth OFDMA, as required for EHT operation.

  Driver API:

   - Major overhaul of the Energy Efficient Ethernet internals to
     support new link modes (2.5GE, 5GE), share more code between
     drivers (especially those using phylib), and encourage more
     uniform behavior. Convert and clean up drivers.

   - Define an API for querying per netdev queue statistics from
     drivers.

   - IPSec: account in global stats for fully offloaded sessions.

   - Create a concept of Ethernet PHY Packages at the Device Tree level,
     to allow parameterizing the existing PHY package code.

   - Enable Rx hashing (RSS) on GTP protocol fields.

  Misc:

   - Improvements and refactoring all over networking selftests.

   - Create uniform module aliases for TC classifiers, actions, and
     packet schedulers to simplify creating modprobe policies.

   - Address all missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() warnings in networking.

   - Extend the Netlink descriptions in YAML to cover message
     encapsulation or "Netlink polymorphism", where interpretation of
     nested attributes depends on link type, classifier type or some
     other "class type".

These are lifted versions of the ext4 ioctls, with one change: we're not
using a flexible array member, because UUIDs will never be more than 16
bytes.

This patch adds a generic implementation of FS_IOC_GETFSUUID, which
reads from super_block->s_uuid. We're not lifting SETFSUUID from ext4 -
that can be done on offline filesystems by the people who need it,
trying to do it online is just asking for too much trouble.

b3decc5ce7 media: mc: Expand MUST_CONNECT flag to always require an enabled link
The MEDIA_PAD_FL_MUST_CONNECT flag indicates that the pad requires an
enabled link to stream, but only if it has any link at all. This makes
little sense, as if a pad is part of a pipeline, there are very few use
cases for an active link to be mandatory only if links exist at all. A
review of in-tree drivers confirms they all need an enabled link for
pads marked with the MEDIA_PAD_FL_MUST_CONNECT flag.

Expand the scope of the flag by rejecting pads that have no links at
all. This requires modifying the pipeline build code to add those pads
to the pipeline.

413971526a Documentation: userspace-api: Document perf ring buffer mechanism
In the Linux perf tool, the ring buffer serves not only as a medium for
transferring PMU event data but also as a vital mechanism for hardware
tracing using technologies like Intel PT and Arm CoreSight, etc.

Consequently, the ring buffer mechanism plays a crucial role by ensuring
high throughput for data transfer between the kernel and user space
while avoiding excessive overhead caused by the ring buffer itself.

This commit documents the ring buffer mechanism in detail.  It explains
the implementation of both the regular ring buffer and the AUX ring
buffer.  Additionally, it covers how these ring buffers support various
tracing modes and explains the synchronization with memory barriers.
