DECnet is an obsolete network protocol that receives more attention
from kernel janitors than users. It belongs in computer protocol
history museum not in Linux kernel.
It has been "Orphaned" in kernel since 2010. The iproute2 support
for DECnet was dropped in 5.0 release. The documentation link on
Sourceforge says it is abandoned there as well.
Leave the UAPI alone to keep userspace programs compiling.
This means that there is still an empty neighbour table
for AF_DECNET.
The table of /proc/sys/net entries was updated to match
current directories and reformatted to be alphabetical.

The dpt_i2o driver was fixed to stop using virt_to_bus() in 2008, but it
still has a stale reference in an error handling code path that could never
work. I submitted a patch to fix this reference earlier, but Hannes
Reinecke suggested that removing the driver may be just as good here.
The i2o driver layer was removed in 2015 with commit 4a72a7af462d
("staging: remove i2o subsystem"), but the even older dpt_i2o scsi driver
stayed around.
The last non-cleanup patches I could find were from Miquel van Smoorenburg
and Mark Salyzyn back in 2008, they might know if there is any chance of
the hardware still being used anywhere.

These were only implemented by the IDE CD driver, which has since
been removed. Given that nobody is likely to create new CD/DVD

Recent Fam19h EPYC server line of processors from AMD support system
management functionality via HSMP (Host System Management Port) interface.
The Host System Management Port (HSMP) is an interface to provide
OS-level software with access to system management functions via a
set of mailbox registers.
More details on the interface can be found in chapter
"7 Host System Management Port (HSMP)" of the following PPR
https://www.amd.com/system/files/TechDocs/55898_B1_pub_0.50.zip
This patch adds new amd_hsmp module under the drivers/platforms/x86/
which creates miscdevice with an IOCTL interface to the user space.
/dev/hsmp is for running the hsmp mailbox commands.

Introduce the pfr_update driver which can be used for Platform Firmware
Runtime code injection and driver update [1].
The user is expected to provide the EFI capsule, and pass it to the
driver by writing the capsule to a device special file. The capsule
is transferred by the driver to the platform firmware with the help
of an ACPI _DSM method under the special ACPI Platform Firmware
Runtime Update device (INTC1080), and the actual firmware update is
carried out by the low-level Management Mode code in the platform
firmware.
This change allows certain pieces of the platform firmware to be
updated on the fly while the system is running (runtime) without the
need to restart it, which is key in the cases when the system needs to
be available 100% of the time and it cannot afford the downtime related
to restarting it, or when the work carried out by the system is
particularly important, so it cannot be interrupted, and it is not
practical to wait until it is complete.

The current implementation of the CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED ioctl relies on
global state, meaning that only one process can detect a disc change
while the ioctl call will return 0 for other calling processes afterwards
(see bug 213267).
This introduces a new cdrom ioctl, CDROM_TIMED_MEDIA_CHANGE, that
works by maintaining a timestamp of the last detected disc change instead
of a boolean flag: Processes calling this ioctl command can provide
a timestamp of the last disc change known to them and receive
an indication whether the disc was changed since then and the updated
timestamp.
I considered fixing the buggy behavior in the original
CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED ioctl but that would require maintaining state
for each calling process in the kernel, which seems like a worse
solution than introducing this new ioctl.

This VDUSE driver enables implementing software-emulated vDPA
devices in userspace. The vDPA device is created by
ioctl(VDUSE_CREATE_DEV) on /dev/vduse/control. Then a char device
interface (/dev/vduse/$NAME) is exported to userspace for device
emulation.
In order to make the device emulation more secure, the device's
control path is handled in kernel. A message mechnism is introduced
to forward some dataplane related control messages to userspace.
And in the data path, the DMA buffer will be mapped into userspace
address space through different ways depending on the vDPA bus to
which the vDPA device is attached. In virtio-vdpa case, the MMU-based
software IOTLB is used to achieve that. And in vhost-vdpa case, the
DMA buffer is reside in a userspace memory region which can be shared
to the VDUSE userspace processs via transferring the shmfd.
For more details on VDUSE design and usage, please see the follow-on
Documentation commit.
NB(mst): when merging this with
b542e383d8c0 ("eventfd: Make signal recursion protection a task bit")
replace eventfd_signal_count with eventfd_signal_allowed,
and drop the previous
("eventfd: Export eventfd_wake_count to modules").

user-space
Currently, debugging unknown events requires writing a custom driver.
This is somewhat difficult, slow to adapt, and not entirely
user-friendly for quickly trying to figure out things on devices of some
third-party user. We can do better. We already have a user-space
interface intended for debugging SAM EC requests, so let's add support
for receiving events to that.
This commit provides support for receiving events by reading from the
controller file. It additionally introduces two new IOCTLs to control
which event categories will be forwarded. Specifically, a user-space
client can specify which target categories it wants to receive events
from by registering the corresponding notifier(s) via the IOCTLs and
after that, read the received events by reading from the controller
device.

Pull staging/IIO driver updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big set of staging and IIO driver updates for 5.13-rc1.
Lots of little churn in here, and some larger churn as well. Major
things are:
- removal of wimax drivers, no one has this hardware anymore for this
failed "experiment".
- removal of the Google gasket driver, turns out no one wanted to
maintain it or cares about it anymore, so they asked for it to be
removed.
- comedi finally moves out of the staging directory into drivers/comedi
This is one of the oldest kernel subsystems around, being created
in the 2.0 kernel days, and was one of the first things added to
drivers/staging/ when that was created over 15 years ago.
It should have been moved out of staging a long time ago, it's well
maintained and used by loads of different devices in the real world
every day. Nice to see this finally happen.
- so many tiny coding style cleanups it's not funny.
Perfect storm of at least 2 different intern project application
deadlines combined to provide a huge number of new contributions in
this area from people learning how to do kernel development. Great
job to everyone involved here.
There's also the normal updates for IIO drivers with new IIO drivers
and updates all over that subsystem.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues"

The Microsoft Surface Book series devices consist of a so-called
clipboard part (containing the CPU, touchscreen, and primary battery)
and a base part (containing keyboard, secondary battery, and optional
discrete GPU). These parts can be separated, i.e. the clipboard can be
detached and used as tablet.
This detachment process is initiated by pressing a button. On the
Surface Book 2 and 3 (targeted with this commit), the Surface Aggregator
Module (i.e. the embedded controller on those devices) attempts to send
a notification to any listening client driver and waits for further
instructions (i.e. whether the detachment process should continue or be
aborted). If it does not receive a response in a certain time-frame, the
detachment process (by default) continues and the clipboard can be
physically separated. In other words, (by default and) without a driver,
the detachment process takes about 10 seconds to complete.
This commit introduces a driver for this detachment system (called DTX).
This driver allows a user-space daemon to control and influence the
detachment behavior. Specifically, it forwards any detachment requests
to user-space, allows user-space to make such requests itself, and
allows handling of those requests. Requests can be handled by either
aborting, continuing/allowing, or delaying (i.e. resetting the timeout
via a heartbeat commend). The user-space API is implemented via the
/dev/surface/dtx miscdevice.
In addition, user-space can change the default behavior on timeout from
allowing detachment to disallowing it, which is useful if the (optional)
discrete GPU is in use.
Furthermore, this driver allows user-space to receive notifications
about the state of the base, specifically when it is physically removed
(as opposed to detachment requested), in what manner it is connected
(i.e. in reverse-/tent-/studio- or laptop-mode), and what type of base
is connected. Based on this information, the driver also provides a
simple tablet-mode switch (aliasing all modes without keyboard access,
i.e. tablet-mode and studio-mode to its reported tablet-mode).
An implementation of such a user-space daemon, allowing configuration of
detachment behavior via scripts (e.g. safely unmounting USB devices
connected to the base before continuing) can be found at [1].

Currently, only the 'i' 0x90 ioctl() actually exists and is defined in
'include/uapi/linux/iio/events.h'.
It's the IIO_GET_EVENT_FD_IOCTL, which is used to retrieve and FD for
reading events from an IIO device.
We will want to add more ioct() numbers, so with this change the 'i'
0x90-0x9F space is reserved for IIO ioctl() calls.

The Cyclades driver was orphaned by commit d459883e6c54 (MAINTAINERS:
remove two dead e-mail) 13 years ago. Noone stepped up to take care of
them and to fix all the issues the driver has.
On the top of that, there is no way to obtain the firmware for Z cards
from the vendor as cyclades.com ceased to exist.
So it's time to drop the driver with all its traces.

Pull initial support for CXL (Compute Express Link) from Dan Williams:
"Introduce an initial driver for CXL 2.0 Type-3 Memory Devices.
CXL is Compute Express Link which released the 2.0 specification in
November. The Linux relevant changes in CXL 2.0 are support for an OS
to dynamically assign address space to memory devices, support for
switches, persistent memory, and hotplug.
A Type-3 Memory Device is a PCI enumerated device presenting the CXL
Memory Device Class Code and implementing the CXL.mem protocol.
CXL.mem allows device to advertise CPU and I/O coherent memory to the
system, i.e. typical "System RAM" and "Persistent Memory" in Linux
/proc/iomem terms.
In addition to the CXL.mem fast path there is an administrative
command hardware mailbox interface for maintenance and provisioning.
It is this command interface that is the focus of the initial driver.
With this driver a CXL device that is mapped by the BIOS can be
administered by Linux.
Linux support for CXL PMEM and dynamic CXL address space management
are to be implemented post v5.12"

Add a straightforward IOCTL that provides a mechanism for userspace to
query the supported memory device commands. CXL commands as they appear
to userspace are described as part of the UAPI kerneldoc. The command
list returned via this IOCTL will contain the full set of commands that
the driver supports, however, some of those commands may not be
available for use by userspace.
Memory device commands first appear in the CXL 2.0 specification. They
are submitted through a mailbox mechanism specified in the CXL 2.0
specification.
The send command allows userspace to issue mailbox commands directly to
the hardware. The list of available commands to send are the output of
the query command. The driver verifies basic properties of the command
and possibly inspect the input (or output) payload to determine whether
or not the command is allowed (or might taint the kernel).

The VM management interfaces expose several VM operations to ACRN
userspace via ioctls. For example, creating VM, starting VM, destroying
VM and so on.
The ACRN Hypervisor needs to exchange data with the ACRN userspace
during the VM operations. HSM provides VM operation ioctls to the ACRN
userspace and communicates with the ACRN Hypervisor for VM operations
via hypercalls.
HSM maintains a list of User VM. Each User VM will be bound to an
existing file descriptor of /dev/acrn_hsm. The User VM will be
destroyed when the file descriptor is closed.

Adding userspace support for the MC (Management Complex) means exporting
an ioctl capable device file representing the root resource container.
This new functionality in the fsl-mc bus driver intends to provide
userspace applications an interface to interact with the MC firmware.
Commands that are composed in userspace are sent to the MC firmware
through the FSL_MC_SEND_MC_COMMAND ioctl. By default the implicit MC
I/O portal is used for this operation, but if the implicit one is busy,
a dynamic portal is allocated and then freed upon execution.
The command received through the ioctl interface is checked against a
known whitelist of accepted MC commands. Commands that attempt a change
in hardware configuration will need CAP_NET_ADMIN, while commands used
in debugging do not need it.

The gdth driver refers to a SCSI parallel, PCI-only HBA RAID adapter which
was manufactured by the now-defunct ICP Vortex company, later acquired by
Adaptec and superseded by the aacraid series of controllers. The driver
itself would require a major overhaul before any modifications can be
attempted, but seeing that it's unlikely to have any users left it should
rather be removed completely.
