Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Lock debugging:
- Implement compiler-driven static analysis locking context checking,
using the upcoming Clang 22 compiler's context analysis features
(Marco Elver)
We removed Sparse context analysis support, because prior to
removal even a defconfig kernel produced 1,700+ context tracking
Sparse warnings, the overwhelming majority of which are false
positives. On an allmodconfig kernel the number of false positive
context tracking Sparse warnings grows to over 5,200... On the plus
side of the balance actual locking bugs found by Sparse context
analysis is also rather ... sparse: I found only 3 such commits in
the last 3 years. So the rate of false positives and the
maintenance overhead is rather high and there appears to be no
active policy in place to achieve a zero-warnings baseline to move
the annotations & fixers to developers who introduce new code.
Clang context analysis is more complete and more aggressive in
trying to find bugs, at least in principle. Plus it has a different
model to enabling it: it's enabled subsystem by subsystem, which
results in zero warnings on all relevant kernel builds (as far as
our testing managed to cover it). Which allowed us to enable it by
default, similar to other compiler warnings, with the expectation
that there are no warnings going forward. This enforces a
zero-warnings baseline on clang-22+ builds (Which are still limited
in distribution, admittedly)
Hopefully the Clang approach can lead to a more maintainable
zero-warnings status quo and policy, with more and more subsystems
and drivers enabling the feature. Context tracking can be enabled
for all kernel code via WARN_CONTEXT_ANALYSIS_ALL=y (default
disabled), but this will generate a lot of false positives.
( Having said that, Sparse support could still be added back,
if anyone is interested - the removal patch is still
relatively straightforward to revert at this stage. )
Rust integration updates: (Alice Ryhl, Fujita Tomonori, Boqun Feng)
- Add support for Atomic<i8/i16/bool> and replace most Rust native
AtomicBool usages with Atomic<bool>
- Clean up LockClassKey and improve its documentation
- Add missing Send and Sync trait implementation for SetOnce
- Make ARef Unpin as it is supposed to be
- Add __rust_helper to a few Rust helpers as a preparation for
helper LTO
- Inline various lock related functions to avoid additional function
calls
WW mutexes:
- Extend ww_mutex tests and other test-ww_mutex updates (John
Stultz)
Misc fixes and cleanups:
- rcu: Mark lockdep_assert_rcu_helper() __always_inline (Arnd
Bergmann)
- locking/local_lock: Include more missing headers (Peter Zijlstra)
- seqlock: fix scoped_seqlock_read kernel-doc (Randy Dunlap)

Pull kmalloc_obj updates from Kees Cook:
"Introduce the kmalloc_obj* family of APIs for switching to type-based
kmalloc allocations, away from purely size-based allocations.
Discussed on lkml, with you, and at Linux Plumbers. It's been in -next
for the entire dev cycle.
Before the merge window closes, I'd like to send the treewide
change (generated from the Coccinelle script included here), which
mechanically converts almost 20k callsites from kmalloc* to
kmalloc_obj*:
8007 files changed, 19980 insertions(+), 20838 deletions(-)
This change needed fixes for mismatched types (since now the return
type from allocations is a pointer to the requested type, not "void
*"), and I've been fixing these over the last 4 releases.
These fixes have mostly been trivial mismatches with const qualifiers
or accidentally identical sizes (e.g. same object size: "struct kvec"
vs "struct iovec", or differing pointers to pointers), but I did catch
one case of too-small allocation.
Summary:
- Introduce kmalloc_obj*() family of type-based allocator APIs
- checkpatch: Suggest kmalloc_obj family for sizeof allocations
- coccinelle: Add kmalloc_objs conversion script"
* tag 'kmalloc_obj-v7.0-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux:
coccinelle: Add kmalloc_objs conversion script
slab: Introduce kmalloc_flex() and family

Some versions of tools that apply patches incorrectly allow lines that

Checkpatch will now emit an ERROR on these lines and optionally convert

Currently, cacheline group macros trigger checkpatch warnings.
For example:
$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -g ba7e025a6c84aed012421468d83639e5dae982b0
WARNING: Missing a blank line after declarations
#58: FILE: drivers/gpio/gpio-virtio.c:32:

+ __dma_from_device_group_end();
$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -g 5d4cc87414c5d11345c4b11d61377d351b5c28a2
WARNING: Missing a blank line after declarations
#267: FILE: include/net/sock.h:431:
+ int sk_rcvlowat;
+ __cacheline_group_end(sock_read_rx);
But these are not actually statements - the following macros
all expand to zero-length fields:
__cacheline_group_begin()
__cacheline_group_end()
__cacheline_group_begin_aligned()
__cacheline_group_end_aligned()
__dma_from_device_group_begin()
__dma_from_device_group_end()
Add them to $declaration_macros so checkpatch recognizes this fact.

All of the ID tables based on <linux/mod_devicetable.h> (of_device_id,
pci_device_id, ...) require their arrays to end in an empty sentinel
value. That's usually spelled with an empty initializer entry (e.g.,
"{}"), but also sometimes with explicit 0 entries, field initializers
(e.g., '.id = ""'), or even a macro entry (like PCMCIA_DEVICE_NULL).
Without a sentinel, device-matching code may read out of bounds.
I've found a number of such bugs in driver reviews, and we even
occasionally commit one to the tree. See commit 5751eee5c620 ("i2c:
nomadik: Add missing sentinel to match table") for example.
Teach checkpatch to find these ID tables, and complain if it looks like
there wasn't a sentinel value.
Test output:
$ git format-patch -1 a0d15cc47f29be6d --stdout | scripts/checkpatch.pl -
ERROR: missing sentinel in ID array

},
};
total: 1 errors, 0 warnings, 66 lines checked
NOTE: For some of the reported defects, checkpatch may be able to
mechanically convert to the typical style using --fix or --fix-inplace.
"[PATCH] i2c: nomadik: switch from of_device_is_compatible() to" has style problems, please review.
NOTE: If any of the errors are false positives, please report
them to the maintainer, see CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS.
When run across the entire tree (scripts/checkpatch.pl -q --types
MISSING_SENTINEL -f ...), false positives exist:
* where macros are used that hide the table from analysis
(e.g., drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_drv.c / radeon_PCI_IDS).
There are fewer than 5 of these.
* where such tables are processed correctly via ARRAY_SIZE() (fewer than
5 instances). This is by far not the typical usage of *_device_id
arrays.
* some odd parsing artifacts, where ctx_statement_block() seems to quit
in the middle of a block due to #if/#else/#endif.
Also, not every "struct *_device_id" is in fact a sentinel-requiring
structure, but even with such types, false positives are very rare.

Historically, the RGMII PHY modes specified in Device Trees have been
used inconsistently, often referring to the usage of delays on the PHY
side rather than describing the board; many drivers still implement this
incorrectly.
Require a comment in Devices Trees using these modes (usually mentioning
that the delay is realized on the PCB), so we can avoid adding more
incorrect uses (or will at least notice which drivers still need to be
fixed).

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"Core:
- Implement the Device Memory TCP transmit path, allowing zero-copy
data transmission on top of TCP from e.g. GPU memory to the wire.
- Move all the IPv6 routing tables management outside the RTNL scope,
under its own lock and RCU. The route control path is now 3x times
faster.
- Convert queue related netlink ops to instance lock, reducing again
the scope of the RTNL lock. This improves the control plane
scalability.
- Refactor the software crc32c implementation, removing unneeded
abstraction layers and improving significantly the related
micro-benchmarks.
- Optimize the GRO engine for UDP-tunneled traffic, for a 10%
performance improvement in related stream tests.
- Cover more per-CPU storage with local nested BH locking; this is a
prep work to remove the current per-CPU lock in local_bh_disable()
on PREMPT_RT.
- Introduce and use nlmsg_payload helper, combining buffer bounds
verification with accessing payload carried by netlink messages.
Netfilter:
- Rewrite the procfs conntrack table implementation, improving
considerably the dump performance. A lot of user-space tools still
use this interface.
- Implement support for wildcard netdevice in netdev basechain and
flowtables.
- Integrate conntrack information into nft trace infrastructure.
- Export set count and backend name to userspace, for better
introspection.
BPF:
- BPF qdisc support: BPF-qdisc can be implemented with BPF struct_ops
programs and can be controlled in similar way to traditional qdiscs
using the "tc qdisc" command.
- Refactor the UDP socket iterator, addressing long standing issues
WRT duplicate hits or missed sockets.
Protocols:
- Improve TCP receive buffer auto-tuning and increase the default
upper bound for the receive buffer; overall this improves the
single flow maximum thoughput on 200Gbs link by over 60%.
- Add AFS GSSAPI security class to AF_RXRPC; it provides transport
security for connections to the AFS fileserver and VL server.
- Improve TCP multipath routing, so that the sources address always
matches the nexthop device.
- Introduce SO_PASSRIGHTS for AF_UNIX, to allow disabling SCM_RIGHTS,
and thus preventing DoS caused by passing around problematic FDs.
- Retire DCCP socket. DCCP only receives updates for bugs, and major
distros disable it by default. Its removal allows for better
organisation of TCP fields to reduce the number of cache lines hit
in the fast path.
- Extend TCP drop-reason support to cover PAWS checks.
Driver API:
- Reorganize PTP ioctl flag support to require an explicit opt-in for
the drivers, avoiding the problem of drivers not rejecting new
unsupported flags.
- Converted several device drivers to timestamping APIs.
- Introduce per-PHY ethtool dump helpers, improving the support for
dump operations targeting PHYs.
Tests and tooling:
- Add support for classic netlink in user space C codegen, so that
ynl-c can now read, create and modify links, routes addresses and
qdisc layer configuration.
- Add ynl sub-types for binary attributes, allowing ynl-c to output
known struct instead of raw binary data, clarifying the classic
netlink output.
- Extend MPTCP selftests to improve the code-coverage.
- Add tests for XDP tail adjustment in AF_XDP.
New hardware / drivers:
- OpenVPN virtual driver: offload OpenVPN data channels processing to
the kernel-space, increasing the data transfer throughput WRT the
user-space implementation.

rust abstractions through this tree, aux bus being the main one, with
devres changes also in the driver-core tree. Along with the drm core
abstractions and enough nova-core/nova-drm to use them. This is still
all stub work under construction, to build the nova driver upstream.
The other big NVIDIA related one is nouveau adds support for
Hopper/Blackwell GPUs, this required a new GSP firmware update to
570.144, and a bunch of rework in order to support multiple fw

Uses of srcu_read_lock_lite() and srcu_read_unlock_lite() are better
served by the new srcu_read_lock_fast() and srcu_read_unlock_fast() APIs.
As in srcu_read_lock_lite() and srcu_read_unlock_lite() would never have
happened had I thought a bit harder a few months ago. Therefore, mark
them deprecated.

2 small tweaks to checkpatch,
1 reducing several pages of powernow "not-relevant-here" log-msgs to a few lines
This patch (of 3):
We currently get:
WARNING: Argument 'name' is not used in function-like macro
on:

Following this advice is wrong here, and shouldn't be fixed by ignoring
