Merge v6.10-rc6 into drm-next

The exynos-next pull is based on a newer -rc than drm-next. hence
backmerge first to make sure the unrelated conflicts we accumulated
don't end up randomly in the exynos merge pull, but are separated out.

Conflicts are all benign: Adjacent changes in amdgpu and fbdev-dma
code, and cherry-pick conflict in xe.

Use the specified serial port on the serial core bus.
The addressing uses DEVNAME of the physical serial port
device, followed by the serial core controller instance,
and the serial port instance. The options are the same
as documented for the ttyS addressing above.
The mapping of the serial ports to the tty instances
can be viewed with:
$ ls -d /sys/bus/serial-base/devices/*:*.*/tty/*
/sys/bus/serial-base/devices/00:04:0.0/tty/ttyS0
In the above example, the console can be addressed with
console=00:04:0.0. Note that a console addressed this
way will only get added when the related device driver
is ready. The use of an earlycon parameter in addition to
the console may be desired for console output early on.

The I2C bus connects one or more controller chips and one or more target chips.

Simple I2C bus
A **master** chip is a node that starts communications with slaves. In the
Linux kernel implementation it is called an **adapter** or bus. Adapter
drivers are in the ``drivers/i2c/busses/`` subdirectory.
A **controller** chip is a node that starts communications with targets. In the
Linux kernel implementation it is also called an "adapter" or "bus". Controller
drivers are usually in the ``drivers/i2c/busses/`` subdirectory.
An **algorithm** contains general code that can be used to implement a
whole class of I2C adapters. Each specific adapter driver either depends on
an algorithm driver in the ``drivers/i2c/algos/`` subdirectory, or includes
its own implementation.
An **algorithm** contains general code that can be used to implement a whole
class of I2C controllers. Each specific controller driver either depends on an
algorithm driver in the ``drivers/i2c/algos/`` subdirectory, or includes its
own implementation.
A **slave** chip is a node that responds to communications when addressed
by the master. In Linux it is called a **client**. Client drivers are kept
in a directory specific to the feature they provide, for example
``drivers/media/gpio/`` for GPIO expanders and ``drivers/media/i2c/`` for
A **target** chip is a node that responds to communications when addressed by a
controller. In the Linux kernel implementation it is also called a "client".
While targets are usually separate external chips, Linux can also act as a
target (needs hardware support) and respond to another controller on the bus.
This is then called a **local target**. In contrast, an external chip is called
a **remote target**.
Target drivers are kept in a directory specific to the feature they provide,
for example ``drivers/gpio/`` for GPIO expanders and ``drivers/media/i2c/`` for
video-related chips.
For the example configuration in figure, you will need a driver for your
I2C adapter, and drivers for your I2C devices (usually one driver for each
device).
For the example configuration in the figure above, you will need one driver for
the I2C controller, and drivers for your I2C targets. Usually one driver for
each target.
Synonyms
--------
As mentioned above, the Linux I2C implementation historically uses the terms
"adapter" for controller and "client" for target. A number of data structures
have these synonyms in their name. So, when discussing implementation details,
you should be aware of these terms as well. The official wording is preferred,
though.
Outdated terminology
--------------------
In earlier I2C specifications, controller was named "master" and target was
named "slave". These terms have been obsoleted with v7 of the specification and
their use is also discouraged by the Linux Kernel Code of Conduct. You may
still find them in references to documentation which has not been updated. The
general attitude, however, is to use the inclusive terms: controller and
target. Work to replace the old terminology in the Linux Kernel is on-going.

Introduction of non-executable mfd
==================================
:Author:
Daniel Verkamp <dverkamp@chromium.org>
Jeff Xu <jeffxu@chromium.org>
:Contributor:
Aleksa Sarai <cyphar@cyphar.com>
Since Linux introduced the memfd feature, memfds have always had their
execute bit set, and the memfd_create() syscall doesn't allow setting
it differently.
However, in a secure-by-default system, such as ChromeOS, (where all
executables should come from the rootfs, which is protected by verified
boot), this executable nature of memfd opens a door for NoExec bypass
and enables “confused deputy attack”. E.g, in VRP bug [1]: cros_vm
process created a memfd to share the content with an external process,
however the memfd is overwritten and used for executing arbitrary code
and root escalation. [2] lists more VRP of this kind.
On the other hand, executable memfd has its legit use: runc uses memfds
seal and executable feature to copy the contents of the binary then
execute them. For such a system, we need a solution to differentiate runc's
use of executable memfds and an attacker's [3].
To address those above:
- Let memfd_create() set X bit at creation time.
- Let memfd be sealed for modifying X bit when NX is set.
- Add a new pid namespace sysctl: vm.memfd_noexec to help applications in
migrating and enforcing non-executable MFD.
User API
========
``int memfd_create(const char *name, unsigned int flags)``
``MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL``
When MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL bit is set in the ``flags``, memfd is created
with NX. F_SEAL_EXEC is set and the memfd can't be modified to
add X later. MFD_ALLOW_SEALING is also implied.
This is the most common case for the application to use memfd.
``MFD_EXEC``
When MFD_EXEC bit is set in the ``flags``, memfd is created with X.
Note:
``MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL`` implies ``MFD_ALLOW_SEALING``. In case that
an app doesn't want sealing, it can add F_SEAL_SEAL after creation.
Sysctl:
========
``pid namespaced sysctl vm.memfd_noexec``
The new pid namespaced sysctl vm.memfd_noexec has 3 values:
- 0: MEMFD_NOEXEC_SCOPE_EXEC
memfd_create() without MFD_EXEC nor MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL acts like
MFD_EXEC was set.
- 1: MEMFD_NOEXEC_SCOPE_NOEXEC_SEAL
memfd_create() without MFD_EXEC nor MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL acts like
MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL was set.
- 2: MEMFD_NOEXEC_SCOPE_NOEXEC_ENFORCED
memfd_create() without MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL will be rejected.
The sysctl allows finer control of memfd_create for old software that
doesn't set the executable bit; for example, a container with
vm.memfd_noexec=1 means the old software will create non-executable memfd
by default while new software can create executable memfd by setting
MFD_EXEC.
The value of vm.memfd_noexec is passed to child namespace at creation
time. In addition, the setting is hierarchical, i.e. during memfd_create,
we will search from current ns to root ns and use the most restrictive
setting.

Linux clockevents are based on Hyper-V synthetic timer 0 (stimer0).
While Hyper-V offers 4 synthetic timers for each CPU, Linux only uses
timer 0. In older versions of Hyper-V, an interrupt from stimer0
results in a VMBus control message that is demultiplexed by
vmbus_isr() as described in the Documentation/virt/hyperv/vmbus.rst
documentation. In newer versions of Hyper-V, stimer0 interrupts can
be mapped to an architectural interrupt, which is referred to as
"Direct Mode". Linux prefers to use Direct Mode when available. Since
x86/x64 doesn't support per-CPU interrupts, Direct Mode statically
allocates an x86 interrupt vector (HYPERV_STIMER0_VECTOR) across all CPUs
and explicitly codes it to call the stimer0 interrupt handler. Hence
interrupts from stimer0 are recorded on the "HVS" line in /proc/interrupts
rather than being associated with a Linux IRQ. Clockevents based on the
virtualized PIT and local APIC timer also work, but Hyper-V stimer0
is preferred.
