The previous commit ("kexec: move sysfs entries to /sys/kernel/kexec")
moved all existing kexec sysfs entries to a new location. The ABI
document is updated to include a note about the deprecation of the old
kexec sysfs entries.
The following kexec sysfs entries are deprecated:
- /sys/kernel/kexec_loaded
- /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_loaded
- /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size
- /sys/kernel/crash_elfcorehdr_size
- /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_cma_ranges

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Deprecate auto-mounting tracefs to /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
When tracefs was first introduced back in 2014, the directory
/sys/kernel/tracing was added and is the designated location to mount
tracefs. To keep backward compatibility, tracefs was auto-mounted in
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing as well.
All distros now mount tracefs on /sys/kernel/tracing. Having it seen
in two different locations has lead to various issues and
inconsistencies.
The VFS folks have to also maintain debugfs_create_automount() for
this single user.
It's been over 10 years. Tooling and scripts should start replacing
the debugfs location with the tracefs one. The reason tracefs was
created in the first place was to allow access to the tracing
facilities without the need to configure debugfs into the kernel.
Using tracefs should now be more robust.
A new config is created: CONFIG_TRACEFS_AUTOMOUNT_DEPRECATED which is
default y, so that the kernel is still built with the automount. This
config allows those that want to remove the automount from debugfs to
do so.
When tracefs is accessed from /sys/kernel/debug/tracing, the
following printk is triggerd:
pr_warn("NOTICE: Automounting of tracing to debugfs is deprecated and will be removed in 2030\n");
This gives users another 5 years to fix their scripts.
- Use queue_rcu_work() instead of call_rcu() for freeing event filters
The number of filters to be free can be many depending on the number
of events within an event system. Freeing them from softirq context
can potentially cause undesired latency. Use the RCU workqueue to
free them instead.
- Remove pointless memory barriers in latency code
Memory barriers were added to some of the latency code a long time
ago with the idea of "making them visible", but that's not what
memory barriers are for. They are to synchronize access between
different variables. There was no synchronization here making them
pointless.
- Remove "__attribute__()" from the type field of event format
When LLVM is used to compile the kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y
and PAHOLE_HAS_BTF_TAG=y, some of the format fields get expanded with
the following:
field:const char * filename; offset:24; size:8; signed:0;
Turns into:
field:const char __attribute__((btf_type_tag("user"))) * filename; offset:24; size:8; signed:0;
This confuses parsers. Add code to strip these tags from the strings.
- Add eprobe config option CONFIG_EPROBE_EVENTS
Eprobes were added back in 5.15 but were only enabled when another
probe was enabled (kprobe, fprobe, uprobe, etc). The eprobes had no
config option of their own. Add one as they should be a separate
entity.
It's default y to keep with the old kernels but still has
dependencies on TRACING and HAVE_REGS_AND_STACK_ACCESS_API.
- Add eprobe documentation
When eprobes were added back in 5.15 no documentation was added to
describe them. This needs to be rectified.
- Replace open coded cpumask_next_wrap() in move_to_next_cpu()
- Have preemptirq_delay_run() use off-stack CPU mask
- Remove obsolete comment about pelt_cfs event
DECLARE_TRACE() appends "_tp" to trace events now, but the comment
above pelt_cfs still mentioned appending it manually.
- Remove EVENT_FILE_FL_SOFT_MODE flag
The SOFT_MODE flag was required when the soft enabling and disabling
of trace events was first introduced. But there was a bug with this
approach as it only worked for a single instance. When multiple users
required soft disabling and disabling the code was changed to have a
ref count. The SOFT_MODE flag is now set iff the ref count is non
zero. This is redundant and just reading the ref count is good
enough.
- Fix typo in comment

In January 2015, tracefs was created to allow access to the tracing
infrastructure without needing to compile in debugfs. When tracefs is
configured, the directory /sys/kernel/tracing will exist and tooling is
expected to use that path to access the tracing infrastructure.
To allow backward compatibility, when debugfs is mounted, it would
automount tracefs in its "tracing" directory so that tooling that had hard
coded /sys/kernel/debug/tracing would still work.
It has been over 10 years since the new interface was introduced, and all
tooling should now be using it. Start the process of deprecating the old
path so that it doesn't need to be maintained anymore.
A new config is added to allow distributions to disable automounting of
tracefs on debugfs.
If /sys/kernel/debug/tracing is accessed, a pr_warn() will trigger stating:
"NOTICE: Automounting of tracing to debugfs is deprecated and will be removed in 2030"
Expect to remove this feature in 5 years (2030).

As a way to allow the user-space to stop referring to GPIOs by their

exported GPIO that live inside the GPIO chip class device and are
referred to by their HW offset within their parent chip.

In order to enable moving away from the global GPIO numberspace-based
exporting of lines over sysfs: add a parallel, per-chip entry under
/sys/class/gpio/ for every registered GPIO chip, denoted by device ID
in the file name and not its base GPIO number.
Compared to the existing chip group: it does not contain the "base"
attribute as the goal of this change is to not refer to GPIOs by their
global number from user-space anymore. It also contains its own,
per-chip export/unexport attribute pair which allow to export lines by
their hardware offset within the chip.
Caveat #1: the new device cannot be a link to (or be linked to by) the
existing "gpiochip<BASE>" entry as we cannot create links in
/sys/class/xyz/.
Caveat #2: the new entry cannot be named "gpiochipX" as it could
conflict with devices whose base is statically defined to a low number.
Let's go with "chipX" instead.
While at it: the chip label is unique so update the untrue statement
when extending the docs.

Update the IIO ABI documentation to reflect the actual usage of channels
with I and Q modifiers. These are currently only used in a few drivers:
frequency/admv1013 (kernel v5.17):
- in_altvoltageY-altvoltageZ_i_calibphase
- in_altvoltageY-altvoltageZ_q_calibphase
- in_altvoltageY_i_calibbias
- in_altvoltageY_q_calibbias
frequency/admv1014 (kernel v5.18):
- in_altvoltageY_i_phase
- in_altvoltageY_q_phase
- in_altvoltageY_i_offset
- in_altvoltageY_q_offset
- in_altvoltageY_i_calibscale_course
- in_altvoltageY_i_calibscale_fine
- in_altvoltageY_q_calibscale_course
- in_altvoltageY_q_calibscale_fine
frequency/adrf6780 (kernel v5.16):
- out_altvoltageY_i_phase
- out_altvoltageY_q_phase
There are no _raw or _scale attributes in use, so those are all removed.
There are no currentY attributes in use with these modifiers, so those
are also removed. All of the voltageY are changed to altvoltageY since
that is how they are actually used. None of these channels are used
with scan buffers, so all of those attributes are removed as well. And
the {in,out}_altvoltageY_{i,q}_phase attributes were missing so those
are added.
The differential channel names for admv1013 are fixed.

Some Ideapad models support a battery conservation mode which limits the
battery charge threshold for longer battery longevity. This is currently
exposed via a custom conservation_mode attribute in sysfs.
The newly introduced charge_types sysfs attribute is a standardized
replacement for laptops with a fixed end charge threshold. Setting it to
`Long Life` would enable battery conservation mode. The standardized
user space API would allow applications such as UPower to detect laptops
which support this battery longevity mode and set it.
Tested on an Lenovo ideapad U330p.

After working with the larger SELinux-based distros for several
years, we're finally at a place where we can disable the SELinux
runtime disable functionality. The existing kernel deprecation
notice explains the functionality and why we want to remove it:
The selinuxfs "disable" node allows SELinux to be disabled at
runtime prior to a policy being loaded into the kernel. If
disabled via this mechanism, SELinux will remain disabled until
the system is rebooted.
The preferred method of disabling SELinux is via the "selinux=0"
boot parameter, but the selinuxfs "disable" node was created to
make it easier for systems with primitive bootloaders that did not
allow for easy modification of the kernel command line.
Unfortunately, allowing for SELinux to be disabled at runtime makes
it difficult to secure the kernel's LSM hooks using the
"__ro_after_init" feature.
It is that last sentence, mentioning the '__ro_after_init' hardening,
which is the real motivation for this change, and if you look at the
diffstat you'll see that the impact of this patch reaches across all
the different LSMs, helping prevent tampering at the LSM hook level.
From a SELinux perspective, it is important to note that if you
continue to disable SELinux via "/etc/selinux/config" it may appear
that SELinux is disabled, but it is simply in an uninitialized state.
If you load a policy with `load_policy -i`, you will see SELinux
come alive just as if you had loaded the policy during early-boot.
It is also worth noting that the "/sys/fs/selinux/disable" file is
always writable now, regardless of the Kconfig settings, but writing
to the file has no effect on the system, other than to display an
error on the console if a non-zero/true value is written.
Finally, in the several years where we have been working on
deprecating this functionality, there has only been one instance of
someone mentioning any user visible breakage. In this particular
case it was an individual's kernel test system, and the workaround
documented in the deprecation notice ("selinux=0" on the kernel
command line) resolved the issue without problem.

We originally promised that the SELinux 'checkreqprot' functionality
would be removed no sooner than June 2021, and now that it is March
2023 it seems like it is a good time to do the final removal. The
deprecation notice in the kernel provides plenty of detail on why
'checkreqprot' is not desirable, with the key point repeated below:
This was a compatibility mechanism for legacy userspace and
for the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC personality flag. However, if set to
1, it weakens security by allowing mappings to be made executable
without authorization by policy. The default value of checkreqprot
at boot was changed starting in Linux v4.4 to 0 (i.e. check the
actual protection), and Android and Linux distributions have been
explicitly writing a "0" to /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot during
initialization for some time.
Along with the official deprecation notice, we have been discussing
this on-list and directly with several of the larger SELinux-based
distros and everyone is happy to see this feature finally removed.
In an attempt to catch all of the smaller, and DIY, Linux systems
we have been writing a deprecation notice URL into the kernel log,
along with a growing ssleep() penalty, when admins enabled
checkreqprot at runtime or via the kernel command line. We have
yet to have anyone come to us and raise an objection to the
deprecation or planned removal.
It is worth noting that while this patch removes the checkreqprot
functionality, it leaves the user visible interfaces (kernel command
line and selinuxfs file) intact, just inert. This should help
prevent breakages with existing userspace tools that correctly, but
unnecessarily, disable checkreqprot at boot or runtime. Admins
that attempt to enable checkreqprot will be met with a removal
message in the kernel log.

The /sys/class/dax compatibility option has shipped in the kernel for 4
years now which should be sufficient time for tools to abandon the old
ABI in favor of the /sys/bus/dax device-model. Delete it now and see if
anyone screams.
Since this compatibility option shipped there has been more reports of
users being surprised by the compat ABI than surprised by the "new", so
the compat infrastructure has outlived its usefulness. Recall that
/sys/bus/dax device-model is required for the dax kmem driver which
allows PMEM to be used as "System RAM".
The following projects were known to have a dependency on /sys/class/dax
and have dropped their dependency as of the listed version:
- ndctl (including libndctl, daxctl, and libdaxctl): v64+
- fio: v3.13+
- pmdk: v1.5.2+
As further evidence this option is no longer needed some distributions
have already stopped enabling CONFIG_DEV_DAX_PMEM_COMPAT.

"Here is the big set of IIO and staging driver patches for 5.14-rc1.
Loads of IIO driver updates and additions in here, the shortlog has
the full details.
For the staging side, we moved a few drivers out of staging, and
deleted the kpc2000 drivers as the original developer asked us to
because no one was working on them anymore.
Also in here are loads of coding style cleanups due to different
intern projects focusing on the staging tree to try to get experience
doing kernel development.
All of these have been in the linux-next tree for a while with no

Commit 63cd35f34d2e ("iio: Documentation: update definitions for bufferY and scan_elements")
updated iio documentation in order to point to the newly
per-buffer API, as it is now possible to support multi buffers.
While the previous ABI will be kept forever, the best is
for applications to use the 5.11+ ABI. So, move the
legacy one ABI/obsolete.
This fixes an issue with scripts/get_abi.pl, that doesn't
accept two different Kernel version support for the same
API set.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"These rework the system-wide PM driver flags, make runtime switching
of cpuidle governors easier, improve the user space hibernation
interface code, add intel-speed-select interface documentation, add
more debug messages to the ACPI code handling suspend to idle, update
the cpufreq core and drivers, fix a minor issue in the cpuidle core
and update two cpuidle drivers, improve the PM-runtime framework,
update the Intel RAPL power capping driver, update devfreq core and

- Improve the resume device handling in the user space hibernarion
interface code (Domenico Andreoli).
- Document the intel-speed-select sysfs interface (Srinivas
Pandruvada).
- Make the ACPI code handing suspend to idle print more debug
messages to help diagnose issues with it (Rafael Wysocki).
- Fix a helper routine in the cpufreq core and correct a typo in the
struct cpufreq_driver kerneldoc comment (Rafael Wysocki, Wang
Wenhu).
- Update cpufreq drivers:
- Make the intel_pstate driver start in the passive mode by
default on systems without HWP (Rafael Wysocki).
- Add i.MX7ULP support to the imx-cpufreq-dt driver and add
i.MX7ULP to the cpufreq-dt-platdev blacklist (Peng Fan).
- Convert the qoriq cpufreq driver to a platform one, make the
platform code create a suitable device object for it and add
platform dependencies to it (Mian Yousaf Kaukab, Geert
Uytterhoeven).
- Fix wrong compatible binding in the qcom driver (Ansuel Smith).
- Build the omap driver by default for ARCH_OMAP2PLUS (Anders
Roxell).
- Add r8a7742 SoC support to the dt cpufreq driver (Lad
Prabhakar).
- Update cpuidle core and drivers:
- Fix three reference count leaks in error code paths in the
cpuidle core (Qiushi Wu).
- Convert Qualcomm SPM to a generic cpuidle driver (Stephan
Gerhold).
- Fix up the execution order when entering a domain idle state in
the PSCI driver (Ulf Hansson).
- Fix a reference counting issue related to clock management and
clean up two oddities in the PM-runtime framework (Rafael Wysocki,
Andy Shevchenko).
- Add ElkhartLake support to the Intel RAPL power capping driver and
remove an unused local MSR definition from it (Jacob Pan, Sumeet
Pawnikar).
- Update devfreq core and drivers:
- Replace strncpy() with strscpy() in the devfreq core and use
lockdep asserts instead of manual checks for a locked mutex in
it (Dmitry Osipenko, Krzysztof Kozlowski).
- Add a generic imx bus scaling driver and make it register an
interconnect device (Leonard Crestez, Gustavo A. R. Silva).
- Make the cpufreq notifier in the tegra30 driver take boosting
into account and delete an unuseful error message from that
driver (Dmitry Osipenko, Markus Elfring).
- Remove unneeded semicolon from the cpupower code (Zou Wei)"

This driver only creates a bunch of platform devices sharing resources
belonging to the PMC device. This is pretty much what MFD subsystem is
for so move the driver there, renaming it to intel_pmc_bxt.c which
should be more clear what it is.
MFD subsystem provides nice helper APIs for subdevice creation so
convert the driver to use those. Unfortunately the ACPI device includes
separate resources for most of the subdevices so we cannot simply call
mfd_add_devices() to create all of them but instead we need to call it
separately for each device.
The new MFD driver continues to expose two sysfs attributes that allow
userspace to send IPC commands to the PMC/SCU to avoid breaking any
existing applications that may use these. Generally this is bad idea so
document this in the ABI documentation.
