Documentation work keeps chugging along; stuff for 6.6 includes:
- Work from Carlos Bilbao to integrate rustdoc output into the generated
HTML documentation. This took some work to figure out how to do it
without slowing the docs build and without creating people who don't have
Rust installed, but Carlos got there.
- Move the loongarch and mips architecture documentation under
Documentation/arch/.
- Some more maintainer documentation from Jakub
...plus the usual assortment of updates, translations, and fixes.

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.

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 `()`.

Some SoC platforms require that commits must not bring any new dtbs_check warnings. Maintainers of such platforms usually have some automation set, so any new warning will be spotted sooner or later.

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 CC: Greg KH <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> CC: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org> CC: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Signed-off-by: Thorsten Leemhuis <linux@leemhuis.info> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/f83e812879caa978a51a1a7cae7c359f29fc093c.1689056247.git.linux@leemhuis.info Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> |

ARM64:
* Eager page splitting optimization for dirty logging, optionally
allowing for a VM to avoid the cost of hugepage splitting in the stage-2
fault path.
* Arm FF-A proxy for pKVM, allowing a pKVM host to safely interact with
services that live in the Secure world. pKVM intervenes on FF-A calls
to guarantee the host doesn't misuse memory donated to the hyp or a
pKVM guest.
* Support for running the split hypervisor with VHE enabled, known as
'hVHE' mode. This is extremely useful for testing the split
hypervisor on VHE-only systems, and paves the way for new use cases
that depend on having two TTBRs available at EL2.
* Generalized framework for configurable ID registers from userspace.
KVM/arm64 currently prevents arbitrary CPU feature set configuration
from userspace, but the intent is to relax this limitation and allow
userspace to select a feature set consistent with the CPU.
* Enable the use of Branch Target Identification (FEAT_BTI) in the
hypervisor.
* Use a separate set of pointer authentication keys for the hypervisor
when running in protected mode, as the host is untrusted at runtime.
* Ensure timer IRQs are consistently released in the init failure
paths.
* Avoid trapping CTR_EL0 on systems with Enhanced Virtualization Traps
(FEAT_EVT), as it is a register commonly read from userspace.
* Erratum workaround for the upcoming AmpereOne part, which has broken
hardware A/D state management.
RISC-V:
* Redirect AMO load/store misaligned traps to KVM guest
* Trap-n-emulate AIA in-kernel irqchip for KVM guest
* Svnapot support for KVM Guest
s390:
* New uvdevice secret API
* CMM selftest and fixes
* fix racy access to target CPU for diag 9c
x86:
* Fix missing/incorrect #GP checks on ENCLS
* Use standard mmu_notifier hooks for handling APIC access page
* Drop now unnecessary TR/TSS load after VM-Exit on AMD
* Print more descriptive information about the status of SEV and SEV-ES during
module load
* Add a test for splitting and reconstituting hugepages during and after
dirty logging
* Add support for CPU pinning in demand paging test
* Add support for AMD PerfMonV2, with a variety of cleanups and minor fixes
included along the way
* Add a "nx_huge_pages=never" option to effectively avoid creating NX hugepage
recovery threads (because nx_huge_pages=off can be toggled at runtime)
* Move handling of PAT out of MTRR code and dedup SVM+VMX code
* Fix output of PIC poll command emulation when there's an interrupt
* Add a maintainer's handbook to document KVM x86 processes, preferred coding
style, testing expectations, etc.
* Misc cleanups, fixes and comments

* Miscellaneous bugfixes and cleanups

docs: remove the tips on how to submit patches from MAINTAINERS
Having "how to submit patches" in MAINTAINTERS seems out of place. We have a whole section of documentation about it, duplication is harmful and a lot of the text looks really out of date. Sections 1, 2 and 4 look really, really old and not applicable to the modern process. Section 3 is obvious but also we have build bots now. Section 5 is a bit outdated (diff -u?!). But I like the part about factoring out shared code, so add that to process docs. Section 6 is unnecessary? Section 7 is covered by more appropriate docs.

ARM: New SoC support for 6.5
There are two new SoC families this time, and both appear fairly similar: The Nuvoton MA35D1 and the STMicroelectronics STM32MP2 are both dual-core Cortex-A35 based chips for the low-power industrial embedded market, and they mark the first 64-bit product in a widely used family of 32-bit Arm MCUs and SoCs. The way into the kernel is completely different here: The team at ST has a long history of working upstream with their STM32MP1 and other SoCs, and they produced a complete port to arm64 together with the initial announcement. Nuvoton also has multiple SoC product lines with current or previous upstream support, but those are maintained by third parties and are unrelated. The patch series from Nuvoton's Jacky Huang had to go through many revisisions to get to this point and is still missing a few drivers including the serial port for the moment. The branch contains the devicetree files as well as all the code changes, in order to have something that can be tested standalone. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCgAdFiEEiK/NIGsWEZVxh/FrYKtH/8kJUicFAmScqtkACgkQYKtH/8kJ Uifqyg//XgvZBxb/2GILYcThVgLoo1fYA9tG5M0LERY/aPiUwrCwIl5swGQXK4vK E3UBLsQURer4yEBRq7iB6RGbwa4Opjdy3yTkj6WSgEMPh6e6jGvmm+dJ7HuWeviS 8oeyo3Xar6tIF+A8xlBloHA4J6690FYB40McQzh8sWG5SE+id56S71NGnNW0kQTn wsul9BZcGVoyMYNBi/uXtOVUPy7jF3UBC3HJF9UOT7q77bCLjVc/aHmmnZ3zmbYA 2oX3X5hVJakFba6vnz+rjNlzuAoGXJPDdsKFxBysdsksac/TxqRIQGNe75DZZVgz ESTpt1QqjmCFw32HEzi8Ne22FOpzlBqUxBMznHPenpz1/om2ezs3q7ffuPqKvMaq PANuK++JKJaBChVMzJbn84Sr1fvO4ecGJpKZTFC6t6SqHQNQFJT6rfMHx01Xw2wW LjKfEBCR6zEXN0+FaaujgJ4y/9pH1VHPynrZJG9WEwPUEZb2kJ/2RMXjNpzOWKiB pWYV1oW2TqFKYKhFm/pjkbi6Rq76UwEi8fWWoGMkmeV3KZ/0GFauQhItu6mX3s7W uGnUQyrBzWzUoashYFuNtXKHYdwuWgOmG660BXHkyxwvqV96ICGEJ+97zGIBDj81 F8zLxEjPbsEZqGGSosAyk9oYC6eh7eK2V7xx+CUYLTuKZw13zNo= =zaVi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'soc-newsoc-6.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/soc/soc Pull new ARM SoC support from Arnd Bergmann: "There are two new SoC families this time, and both appear fairly similar: The Nuvoton MA35D1 and the STMicroelectronics STM32MP2 are both dual-core Cortex-A35 based chips for the low-power industrial embedded market, and they mark the first 64-bit product in a widely used family of 32-bit Arm MCUs and SoCs.

docs: handling-regressions: rework section about fixing procedures
This basically rewrites the 'Prioritize work on fixing regressions' section of Documentation/process/handling-regressions.rst for various reasons. Among them: some things were too demanding, some didn't align well with the usual workflows, and some apparently were not clear enough -- and of course a few things were missing that would be good to have in there. Linus for example recently stated that regressions introduced during the past year should be handled similarly to regressions from the current cycle, if it's a clear fix with no semantic subtlety. His exact wording[1] didn't fit well into the text structure, but the author tried to stick close to the apparent intention. It was a noble goal from the original author to state "[prevent situations that might force users to] continue running an outdated and thus potentially insecure kernel version for more than two weeks after a regression's culprit was identified"; this directly led to the goal "fix regression in mainline within one week, if the issue made it into a stable/longterm kernel", because the stable team needs time to pick up and prepare a new release. But apparently all that was a bit too demanding. That "one week" target for example doesn't align well with the usual habits of the subsystem maintainers, which normally send their fixes to Linus once a week; and it doesn't align too well with stable/longterm releases either, which often enter a -rc phase on Mondays or Tuesdays and then are released two to three days later. And asking developers to create, review, and mainline fixes within one week might be too much to ask for in general. Hence tone the general goal down to three weeks and use an approach that better aligns with the usual merging and release habits. While at it, also make the rules of thumb a bit easier to follow by grouping them by topic (e.g. generic things, timing, procedures, ...). Also add text for a few cases where recent discussions showed they need covering. Among them are multiple points that better explain the relations to stable and longterm kernels and the team that manages them; they and the group seperators are the primary reason why this whole section sadly grew somewhat in the rewrite. The group about those relations led to one addition the author came up with without any precedent from Linus: the text now tells developers to add a stable tag for any regression that made it into a proper mainline release during the past 12 months. This is meant to ensure the stable team will definitely notice any fixes for recent regressions. That includes those introduced shortly before a new mainline release and found right after it; without such a rule the stable team might miss the fix, which then would only reach users after weeks or months with later releases. Note, the aspect "Do not consider regressions from the current cycle as something that can wait till the cycle's end [...]" might look like an addition, but was kinda was in the old text as well -- but only indirectly. That apparently was too subtle, as many developers seem to assume waiting till the end of the cycle is fine (even for build fixes). In practice this was especially problematic when a cause of a regression made it into a proper release (either directly or through a backport). A revert performed by Linus shortly before the 6.3 release illustrated that[2], as the developer of the culprit had been willing to revert the culprit about three weeks earlier already -- but didn't do so when a fix came into sight and a maintainer suggested it can wait. Due to that the issue in the end plagued users of 6.2.y at least two weeks longer than necessary, as the fix in the end didn't become ready in time. This issue in fact could have been resolved one or two additional weeks earlier, if the developer had reverted the culprit shortly after it had been identified (which even the old version of the text suggest to do in such cases).

rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2
This is the first upgrade to the Rust toolchain since the initial Rust
merge, from 1.62.0 to 1.68.2 (i.e. the latest).
# Context
The kernel currently supports only a single Rust version [1] (rather
than a minimum) given our usage of some "unstable" Rust features [2]
which do not promise backwards compatibility.
The goal is to reach a point where we can declare a minimum version for
the toolchain. For instance, by waiting for some of the features to be
stabilized. Therefore, the first minimum Rust version that the kernel
will support is "in the future".
# Upgrade policy
Given we will eventually need to reach that minimum version, it would be
ideal to upgrade the compiler from time to time to be as close as
possible to that goal and find any issues sooner. In the extreme, we
could upgrade as soon as a new Rust release is out. Of course, upgrading
so often is in stark contrast to what one normally would need for GCC
and LLVM, especially given the release schedule: 6 weeks for Rust vs.
half a year for LLVM and a year for GCC.
Having said that, there is no particular advantage to updating slowly
either: kernel developers in "stable" distributions are unlikely to be
able to use their distribution-provided Rust toolchain for the kernel
anyway [3]. Instead, by routinely upgrading to the latest instead,
kernel developers using Linux distributions that track the latest Rust
release may be able to use those rather than Rust-provided ones,
especially if their package manager allows to pin / hold back /
downgrade the version for some days during windows where the version may
not match. For instance, Arch, Fedora, Gentoo and openSUSE all provide
and track the latest version of Rust as they get released every 6 weeks.
Then, when the minimum version is reached, we will stop upgrading and
decide how wide the window of support will be. For instance, a year of
Rust versions. We will probably want to start small, and then widen it
over time, just like the kernel did originally for LLVM, see commit
