babe393974 The number of commits for documentation is not huge this time around, but
there are some significant changes nonetheless:
 
 - Some more Spanish-language and Chinese translations.
 
 - The much-discussed documentation of the confidential-computing threat
   model.
 
 - Powerpc and RISCV documentation move under Documentation/arch - these
   complete this particular bit of documentation churn.
 
 - A large traditional-Chinese documentation update.
 
 - A new document on backporting and conflict resolution.
 
 - Some kernel-doc and Sphinx fixes.
 
 Plus the usual smattering of smaller updates and typo fixes.

89ed67ef12 Networking changes for 6.7.
Core & protocols
 ----------------
 
  - Support usec resolution of TCP timestamps, enabled selectively by
    a route attribute.
 
  - Defer regular TCP ACK while processing socket backlog, try to send
    a cumulative ACK at the end. Increase single TCP flow performance
    on a 200Gbit NIC by 20% (100Gbit -> 120Gbit).
 
  - The Fair Queuing (FQ) packet scheduler:
    - add built-in 3 band prio / WRR scheduling
    - support bypass if the qdisc is mostly idle (5% speed up for TCP RR)
    - improve inactive flow reporting
    - optimize the layout of structures for better cache locality
 
  - Support TCP Authentication Option (RFC 5925, TCP-AO), a more modern
    replacement for the old MD5 option.
 
  - Add more retransmission timeout (RTO) related statistics to TCP_INFO.
 
  - Support sending fragmented skbs over vsock sockets.
 
  - Make sure we send SIGPIPE for vsock sockets if socket was shutdown().
 
  - Add sysctl for ignoring lower limit on lifetime in Router
    Advertisement PIO, based on an in-progress IETF draft.
 
  - Add sysctl to control activation of TCP ping-pong mode.
 
  - Add sysctl to make connection timeout in MPTCP configurable.
 
  - Support rcvlowat and notsent_lowat on MPTCP sockets, to help apps
    limit the number of wakeups.
 
  - Support netlink GET for MDB (multicast forwarding), allowing user
    space to request a single MDB entry instead of dumping the entire
    table.
 
  - Support selective FDB flushing in the VXLAN tunnel driver.
 
  - Allow limiting learned FDB entries in bridges, prevent OOM attacks.
 
  - Allow controlling via configfs netconsole targets which were created
    via the kernel cmdline at boot, rather than via configfs at runtime.
 
  - Support multiple PTP timestamp event queue readers with different
    filters.
 
  - MCTP over I3C.
 
 BPF
 ---
 
  - Add new veth-like netdevice where BPF program defines the logic
    of the xmit routine. It can operate in L3 and L2 mode.
 
  - Support exceptions - allow asserting conditions which should
    never be true but are hard for the verifier to infer.
    With some extra flexibility around handling of the exit / failure.
    https://lwn.net/Articles/938435/
 
  - Add support for local per-cpu kptr, allow allocating and storing
    per-cpu objects in maps. Access to those objects operates on
    the value for the current CPU. This allows to deprecate local
    one-off implementations of per-CPU storage like
    BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_CGROUP_STORAGE maps.
 
  - Extend cgroup BPF sockaddr hooks for UNIX sockets. The use case is
    for systemd to re-implement the LogNamespace feature which allows
    running multiple instances of systemd-journald to process the logs
    of different services.
 
  - Enable open-coded task_vma iteration, after maple tree conversion
    made it hard to directly walk VMAs in tracing programs.
 
  - Add open-coded task, css_task and css iterator support.
    One of the use cases is customizable OOM victim selection via BPF.
 
  - Allow source address selection with bpf_*_fib_lookup().
 
  - Add ability to pin BPF timer to the current CPU.
 
  - Prevent creation of infinite loops by combining tail calls and
    fentry/fexit programs.
 
  - Add missed stats for kprobes to retrieve the number of missed kprobe
    executions and subsequent executions of BPF programs.
 
  - Inherit system settings for CPU security mitigations.
 
  - Add BPF v4 CPU instruction support for arm32 and s390x.
 
 Changes to common code
 ----------------------
 
  - overflow: add DEFINE_FLEX() for on-stack definition of structs
    with flexible array members.
 
  - Process doc update with more guidance for reviewers.
 
 Driver API
 ----------
 
  - Simplify locking in WiFi (cfg80211 and mac80211 layers), use wiphy
    mutex in most places and remove a lot of smaller locks.
 
  - Create a common DPLL configuration API. Allow configuring
    and querying state of PLL circuits used for clock syntonization,
    in network time distribution.
 
  - Unify fragmented and full page allocation APIs in page pool code.
    Let drivers be ignorant of PAGE_SIZE.
 
  - Rework PHY state machine to avoid races with calls to phy_stop().
 
  - Notify DSA drivers of MAC address changes on user ports, improve
    correctness of offloads which depend on matching port MAC addresses.
 
  - Allow antenna control on injected WiFi frames.
 
  - Reduce the number of variants of napi_schedule().
 
  - Simplify error handling when composing devlink health messages.
 
 Misc
 ----
 
  - A lot of KCSAN data race "fixes", from Eric.
 
  - A lot of __counted_by() annotations, from Kees.
 
  - A lot of strncpy -> strscpy and printf format fixes.
 
  - Replace master/slave terminology with conduit/user in DSA drivers.
 
  - Handful of KUnit tests for netdev and WiFi core.

455cdcb45f Rust changes for v6.7
A small one compared to the previous one in terms of features. In terms
 of lines, as usual, the 'alloc' version upgrade accounts for most of them.
 
 Toolchain and infrastructure:
 
  - Upgrade to Rust 1.73.0.
 
    This time around, due to how the kernel and Rust schedules have
    aligned, there are two upgrades in fact. They contain the fixes for
    a few issues we reported to the Rust project.
 
    In addition, a few cleanups indicated by the upgraded compiler
    or possible thanks to it. For instance, the compiler now detects
    redundant explicit links.
 
  - A couple changes to the Rust 'Makefile' so that it can be used with
    toybox tools, allowing Rust to be used in the Android kernel build.
 
 x86:
 
  - Enable IBT if enabled in C.
 
 Documentation:
 
  - Add "The Rust experiment" section to the Rust index page.

e08ff622c9 rust: upgrade to Rust 1.73.0
This is the next upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.72.1 to 1.73.0
(i.e. the latest) [1].

See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in
commit 3ed03f4da0 ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2").

# Unstable features

No unstable features (that we use) were stabilized.

Therefore, the only unstable feature allowed to be used outside
the `kernel` crate is still `new_uninit`, though other code to be
upstreamed may increase the list.

Please see [3] for details.

# Required changes

For the upgrade, the following changes are required:

  - Allow `internal_features` for `feature(compiler_builtins)` since
    now Rust warns about using internal compiler and standard library
    features (similar to how it also warns about incomplete ones) [4].

  - A cleanup for a documentation link thanks to a new `rustdoc` lint.
    See previous commits for details.

  - A need to make an intra-doc link to a macro explicit, due to a
    change in behavior in `rustdoc`. See previous commits for details.

# `alloc` upgrade and reviewing

The vast majority of changes are due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded
at once.

There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from
upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates
needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer
infallible APIs coming from upstream.

Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative
approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and
the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only,
especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match
the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream.

Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in
the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot
potentially unintended changes to our additions.

To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following
to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream
Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after
applying this patch:

    # Get the difference with respect to the old version.
    git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
    git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
        cut -d/ -f3- |
        grep -Fv README.md |
        xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
    git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch
    git -C linux restore rust/alloc

    # Apply this patch.
    git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch

    # Get the difference with respect to the new version.
    git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
    git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
        cut -d/ -f3- |
        grep -Fv README.md |
        xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
    git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch
    git -C linux restore rust/alloc

Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first
approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second
approach). For the latter, a side-by-side tool is recommended.

1fae02e7eb docs: submitting-patches: encourage direct notifications to commenters
Commenters may not receive new versions of patches via the lists.
Without a directed notification to them they might miss those new
versions.

This is frustrating for the patch developers as they don't receive their
earned Reviewed-by.
It is also frustrating for the commenters, as they might think their
review got ignored or they have to dig up new versions from the archive
manually.

So encourage patch submitters to make sure that all commenters get
notified also when no Reviewed-by was issued yet.

f1477dbfa5 docs: add backporting and conflict resolution document
This is a new document based on my 2022 blog post:

  https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/post/backporting-patches-using-git

Although this is aimed at stable contributors and distro maintainers,
it does also contain useful tips and tricks for anybody who needs to
resolve merge conflicts.

By adding this to the kernel as documentation we can more easily point
to it e.g. from stable emails about failed backports, as well as allow
the community to modify it over time if necessary.

I've added this under process/ since it also has
process/applying-patches.rst. Another interesting document is
maintainer/rebasing-and-merging.rst which maybe should eventually refer
to this one, but I'm leaving that as a future cleanup.

Thanks to Harshit Mogalapalli for helping with the original blog post
as well as this updated document and Bagas Sanjaya for providing
thoughtful feedback.

ae6df65dab rust: upgrade to Rust 1.72.1
This is the third upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.71.1 to 1.72.1
(i.e. the latest) [1].

See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in
commit 3ed03f4da0 ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2").

# Unstable features

No unstable features (that we use) were stabilized.

Therefore, the only unstable feature allowed to be used outside
the `kernel` crate is still `new_uninit`, though other code to be
upstreamed may increase the list.

Please see [3] for details.

# Other improvements

Previously, the compiler could incorrectly generate a `.eh_frame`
section under `-Cpanic=abort`. We were hitting this bug when debug
assertions were enabled (`CONFIG_RUST_DEBUG_ASSERTIONS=y`) [4]:

      LD      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1
    ld.lld: error: <internal>:(.eh_frame) is being placed in '.eh_frame'

Gary fixed the issue in Rust 1.72.0 [5].

# Required changes

For the upgrade, the following changes are required:

  - A call to `Box::from_raw` in `rust/kernel/sync/arc.rs` now requires
    an explicit `drop()` call. See previous patch for details.

# `alloc` upgrade and reviewing

The vast majority of changes are due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded
at once.

There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from
upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates

There has been a repeated misunderstanding about what the hardware embargo
list is for. Clarify the language in the process so that it is clear
that only fixes are coordinated. There is explicitly no prenotification
process. The list members are also expected to keep total radio silence
during embargoes.

bd6c11bc43 Networking changes for 6.6.
Core
 ----
 
  - Increase size limits for to-be-sent skb frag allocations. This
    allows tun, tap devices and packet sockets to better cope with large
    writes operations.
 
  - Store netdevs in an xarray, to simplify iterating over netdevs.
 
  - Refactor nexthop selection for multipath routes.
 
  - Improve sched class lifetime handling.
 
  - Add backup nexthop ID support for bridge.
 
  - Implement drop reasons support in openvswitch.
 
  - Several data races annotations and fixes.
 
  - Constify the sk parameter of routing functions.
 
  - Prepend kernel version to netconsole message.
 
 Protocols
 ---------
 
  - Implement support for TCP probing the peer being under memory
    pressure.
 
  - Remove hard coded limitation on IPv6 specific info placement
    inside the socket struct.
 
  - Get rid of sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale and use an auto-estimated
    per socket scaling factor.
 
  - Scaling-up the IPv6 expired route GC via a separated list of
    expiring routes.
 
  - In-kernel support for the TLS alert protocol.
 
  - Better support for UDP reuseport with connected sockets.
 
  - Add NEXT-C-SID support for SRv6 End.X behavior, reducing the SR
    header size.
 
  - Get rid of additional ancillary per MPTCP connection struct socket.
 
  - Implement support for BPF-based MPTCP packet schedulers.
 
  - Format MPTCP subtests selftests results in TAP.
 
  - Several new SMC 2.1 features including unique experimental options,
    max connections per lgr negotiation, max links per lgr negotiation.
 
 BPF
 ---
 
  - Multi-buffer support in AF_XDP.
 
  - Add multi uprobe BPF links for attaching multiple uprobes
    and usdt probes, which is significantly faster and saves extra fds.
 
  - Implement an fd-based tc BPF attach API (TCX) and BPF link support on
    top of it.
 
  - Add SO_REUSEPORT support for TC bpf_sk_assign.
 
  - Support new instructions from cpu v4 to simplify the generated code and
    feature completeness, for x86, arm64, riscv64.
 
  - Support defragmenting IPv(4|6) packets in BPF.
 
  - Teach verifier actual bounds of bpf_get_smp_processor_id()
    and fix perf+libbpf issue related to custom section handling.
 
  - Introduce bpf map element count and enable it for all program types.
 
  - Add a BPF hook in sys_socket() to change the protocol ID
    from IPPROTO_TCP to IPPROTO_MPTCP to cover migration for legacy.
 
  - Introduce bpf_me_mcache_free_rcu() and fix OOM under stress.
 
  - Add uprobe support for the bpf_get_func_ip helper.
 
  - Check skb ownership against full socket.
 
  - Support for up to 12 arguments in BPF trampoline.
 
  - Extend link_info for kprobe_multi and perf_event links.
 
 Netfilter
 ---------
 
  - Speed-up process exit by aborting ruleset validation if a
    fatal signal is pending.
 
  - Allow NLA_POLICY_MASK to be used with BE16/BE32 types.
 
 Driver API
 ----------
 
  - Page pool optimizations, to improve data locality and cache usage.
 
  - Introduce ndo_hwtstamp_get() and ndo_hwtstamp_set() to avoid the need
    for raw ioctl() handling in drivers.
 
  - Simplify genetlink dump operations (doit/dumpit) providing them
    the common information already populated in struct genl_info.
 
  - Extend and use the yaml devlink specs to [re]generate the split ops.
 
  - Introduce devlink selective dumps, to allow SF filtering SF based on
    handle and other attributes.
 
  - Add yaml netlink spec for netlink-raw families, allow route, link and
    address related queries via the ynl tool.
 
  - Remove phylink legacy mode support.
 
  - Support offload LED blinking to phy.
 
  - Add devlink port function attributes for IPsec.

08ab786556 rust: bindgen: upgrade to 0.65.1
In LLVM 16, anonymous items may return names like `(unnamed union at ..)`
rather than empty names [1], which breaks Rust-enabled builds because
bindgen assumed an empty name instead of detecting them via
`clang_Cursor_isAnonymous` [2]:

    $ make rustdoc LLVM=1 CLIPPY=1 -j$(nproc)
      RUSTC L rust/core.o
      BINDGEN rust/bindings/bindings_generated.rs
      BINDGEN rust/bindings/bindings_helpers_generated.rs
      BINDGEN rust/uapi/uapi_generated.rs
    thread 'main' panicked at '"ftrace_branch_data_union_(anonymous_at__/_/include/linux/compiler_types_h_146_2)" is not a valid Ident', .../proc-macro2-1.0.24/src/fallback.rs:693:9
    ...
    thread 'main' panicked at '"ftrace_branch_data_union_(anonymous_at__/_/include/linux/compiler_types_h_146_2)" is not a valid Ident', .../proc-macro2-1.0.24/src/fallback.rs:693:9
    ...

This was fixed in bindgen 0.62.0. Therefore, upgrade bindgen to
a more recent version, 0.65.1, to support LLVM 16.

Since bindgen 0.58.0 changed the `--{white,black}list-*` flags to
`--{allow,block}list-*` [3], update them on our side too.

In addition, bindgen 0.61.0 moved its CLI utility into a binary crate
called `bindgen-cli` [4]. Thus update the installation command in the
Quick Start guide.

Moreover, bindgen 0.61.0 changed the default functionality to bind
`size_t` to `usize` [5] and added the `--no-size_t-is-usize` flag
to not bind `size_t` as `usize`. Then bindgen 0.65.0 removed
the `--size_t-is-usize` flag [6]. Thus stop passing the flag to bindgen.

Finally, bindgen 0.61.0 added support for the `noreturn` attribute (in
its different forms) [7]. Thus remove the infinite loop in our Rust
panic handler after calling `BUG()`, since bindgen now correctly
generates a `BUG()` binding that returns `!` instead of `()`.

89eed1ab11 rust: upgrade to Rust 1.71.1
This is the second upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.68.2 to 1.71.1
(i.e. the latest).

See the upgrade policy [1] and the comments on the first upgrade in
commit 3ed03f4da0 ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2").

# Unstable features

No unstable features (that we use) were stabilized.

Therefore, the only unstable feature allowed to be used outside
the `kernel` crate is still `new_uninit`, though other code to be
upstreamed may increase the list.

Please see [2] for details.

# Required changes

For the upgrade, this patch requires the following changes:

  - Removal of the `__rust_*` allocator functions, together with
    the addition of the `__rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable` static.
    See [3] for details.

  - Some more compiler builtins added due to `<f{32,64}>::midpoint()`
    that got added in Rust 1.71 [4].

# `alloc` upgrade and reviewing

The vast majority of changes are due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded
at once.

There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from
upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates
needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer
infallible APIs coming from upstream.

Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative
approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and
the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only,
especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match
the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream.

Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in
the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot
potentially unintended changes to our additions.

To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following
to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream
Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after
applying this patch:

    # Get the difference with respect to the old version.
    git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
    git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
        cut -d/ -f3- |
        grep -Fv README.md |
        xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
    git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch
    git -C linux restore rust/alloc

    # Apply this patch.
    git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch

    # Get the difference with respect to the new version.
    git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
    git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
        cut -d/ -f3- |
        grep -Fv README.md |
        xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
    git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch
    git -C linux restore rust/alloc

Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first
approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second
approach). For the latter, a side-by-side tool is recommended.

Documentation/process: maintainer-soc: add clean platforms profile

automation set, so any new warning will be spotted sooner or later.
Worst case: they run the tests themselves.  Document requirements for
such platforms, so contributors can expect their patches being dropped
or ignored, if they bring new warnings for existing boards.

3feb21bb0b docs: stable-kernel-rules: move text around to improve flow
Move the short description about when to use which of the submission
options to the top of the section, as it currently sits somewhat odd in
the middle between option 3 and examples of option 1.

Also move the examples of Option 1 into the section describing it (which
in the diff looks like option 2 and 3 are moving down).

No text changes, just moving it around.

33568553b3 docs: stable-kernel-rules: make rule section more straight forward
Tweak some of the rule text to make things more straight forward, with
the goal to stick closely to the intend of the old text:

* put the "it or equivalent fix must be upstream" rule at the top, as
  it's one of the most important ones that at the same time often seems
  to be missed by developers.
* "It must fix only one thing" was dropped, as that is almost always a
  thing that needs to be handled earlier when the change is mainlined.
  Furthermore, this is already indirectly covered by the "Separate your
  changes" section in Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst which
  the rules already point to.
* six other rules are in the end one rule with clarifications; structure
  the text accordingly to make it a lot easier to follow and understand
  the intend.
* drop the 'In short, something critical' from one of those notes: it
  contradicts the "real bug that bothers people" aspect somewhat and does
  not really add anything

Because the linux-distros group forces reporters to release information
about reported bugs, and they impose arbitrary deadlines in having those
bugs fixed despite not actually being kernel developers, the kernel
security team recommends not interacting with them at all as this just
causes confusion and the early-release of reported security problems.
