Merge tag 'v7.2-rc1' into drm-rust-next

Merge v7.2-rc1 into drm-rust-next to start the next cycle.

Devres now requires T: 'static, which conflicts with shmem::Object using
Devres<SGTableMap<T, C>> without that bound. Resolve by adding 'static
as a supertrait to DriverObject and DeviceContext, which does not
restrict any current use cases since DriverObject is always implemented
on owned, refcounted types and DeviceContext is a sealed marker trait
with only unit-type implementors.

If DriverObject (or DeviceContext) ever becomes lifetime-parameterized
(e.g. via a GAT for TTM backed objects), the 'static supertrait can be
relaxed at that point.

Pull VDSO updates from Thomas Gleixner:

- Consolidate the VDSO datastore further and provide support for
mlock_all() and prefaulting.

- Provide 32-bit legacy time related functionality only if
CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME is enabled. The config switch exists,
but architecture code still exposes the legacy functionality even
disabled.

Clean this up by adding the missing guards and validating at build
time that the VDSO is legacy free if disabled.

- Consolidate the VDSO related config options in core and drivers,
which removes some non-sensical dependencies and quite an amount of
#ifdeffery.

Pull treewide timer related cleanups from Thomas Gleixner:

- Remove the leftover CLOCK_TICK_RATE which has been scheduled for
removal more than a decade ago along with some now empty asm/timex.h
files.

- Consolidate delay timer calibration

The construct of having a define in a header requires that
architectures provided asm/timex.h for no reason. Also the function
name for reading the delay timer is confusing at best.

Use a config switch to enable that functionality and rename the
function to delay_read_timer() to make the purpose clear.

This removes some more now empty asm/timex.h files as well.

Merge tag 'core-entry-2026-08-17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull generic entry code updates from Thomas Gleixner:

- Make syscall user dispatching configurable

Not all architectures can makes use of syscall user dispatching.
Allow them to disable the feature completely.

- Consolidate stack randomization for the generic entry code and the
architectures using it.

Stack randomization on syscall entry was sprinkled throughout the
architecture specific low level entry code and in some cases at the
wrong points, e.g. before establishing state, which violates the
non-instrumentable constraints of that code.

Clean this up by integrating stack randomization into the generic
entry code helpers so that it is invoked at the earliest possible
point right after establishing state and converting all generic entry
code using architecture over.

- Clean up the syscall number handling in the generic entry code. It
works correctly for architectures which have a separate return value
storage in pt_regs, but fails to distinguish the case where user
space handed in -1 as syscall number from the case where the entry
code rejects it by returning -1 to the callers. Aside of that the
return value functionality of those interfaces is not really
intuitive.

Fix this by separating the decision to reject a syscall (user
dispatch, ptrace, seccomp ...) from the potential modification of the
syscall number through these mechanisms.

This solves most of the problems for architectures which do not have
a separate return value storage in pt_regs except for the case where
a tracepoint has a BPF script or a probe attached which overwrite
both the syscall number and the return value. But that's a problem
which cannot be solved in the generic code, that only can be
addressed by separating the storage model in the affected
architectures.

Currently, only x86 genuinely implements and supports Syscall User Dispatch

Multiple architectures provide a stub arch_syscall_is_vdso_sigreturn()

seccomp, treewide: Rename and convert __secure_computing() to return boolean

The return value of __secure_computing() currently uses 0 to indicate
that a system call should be allowed, and -1 to indicate that it should
be blocked/killed. This 0/-1 pattern is non-intuitive for a security
check function and makes the control flow at the call sites less readable.

Furthermore, any potential future changes to these return values would
require a high-risk, error-prone audit of all its users across different
architectures.

Sanitize this logic by converting the return type of __secure_computing()
to a proper boolean, where 'true' explicitly means 'allow' and 'false'
means 'fail/deny'.

Update all the two dozen or so call sites across the tree to align with
this new boolean semantic. No functional changes are intended, as the
callers still return -1 to the lower-level assembly entry code upon
seccomp denial.

Rename the function to __seccomp_permit_syscall() so that the purpose is
entirely clear.

[ tglx: Rename the function ]

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Futex updates:

- Optimize futex hash bucket access patterns (Peter Zijlstra)

- Large series to address the robust futex unlock race for real, by
Thomas Gleixner:

"The robust futex unlock mechanism is racy in respect to the
clearing of the robust_list_head::list_op_pending pointer because
unlock and clearing the pointer are not atomic.

The race window is between the unlock and clearing the pending op
pointer. If the task is forced to exit in this window, exit will
access a potentially invalid pending op pointer when cleaning up
the robust list.

That happens if another task manages to unmap the object
containing the lock before the cleanup, which results in an UAF.

In the worst case this UAF can lead to memory corruption when
unrelated content has been mapped to the same address by the time
the access happens.

User space can't solve this problem without help from the kernel.
This series provides the kernel side infrastructure to help it
along:

1) Combined unlock, pointer clearing, wake-up for the
contended case

2) VDSO based unlock and pointer clearing helpers with a
fix-up function in the kernel when user space was interrupted

The CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG option currently depends on
ARCH_SUPPORTS_PROPELLER_CLANG, but this dependency seems unnecessary.

Remove ARCH_SUPPORTS_PROPELLER_CLANG and allow users to control
Propeller builds solely through CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG. This simplifies
the kconfig and avoids potential confusion.

Move the .llvm_bb_addr_map sections grouping to
include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h.

The Propeller documentation has been updated to reflect the most
recent tool location and now includes instructions for arm64.
