In that configuration, the netconsole driver is useless anyway, so
avoid this with an added dependency that prevents CONFIG_NETCONSOLE

Merge tag 'net-next-7.0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"Core & protocols:

- A significant effort all around the stack to guide the compiler to
make the right choice when inlining code, to avoid unneeded calls
for small helper and stack canary overhead in the fast-path.

This generates better and faster code with very small or no text
size increases, as in many cases the call generated more code than
the actual inlined helper.

- Extend AccECN implementation so that is now functionally complete,
also allow the user-space enabling it on a per network namespace
basis.

- Add support for memory providers with large (above 4K) rx buffer.
Paired with hw-gro, larger rx buffer sizes reduce the number of
buffers traversing the stack, dincreasing single stream CPU usage
by up to ~30%.

- Do not add HBH header to Big TCP GSO packets. This simplifies the
RX path, the TX path and the NIC drivers, and is possible because
user-space taps can now interpret correctly such packets without
the HBH hint.

- Allow IPv6 routes to be configured with a gateway address that is
resolved out of a different interface than the one specified,
aligning IPv6 to IPv4 behavior.

- Multi-queue aware sch_cake. This makes it possible to scale the
rate shaper of sch_cake across multiple CPUs, while still enforcing
a single global rate on the interface.

- Add support for the nbcon (new buffer console) infrastructure to
netconsole, enabling lock-free, priority-based console operations
that are safer in crash scenarios.

- Improve the TCP ipv6 output path to cache the flow information,
saving cpu cycles, reducing cache line misses and stack use.

- Improve netfilter packet tracker to resolve clashes for most
protocols, avoiding unneeded drops on rare occasions.

- Add IP6IP6 tunneling acceleration to the flowtable infrastructure.

- Reduce tcp socket size by one cache line.

- Notify neighbour changes atomically, avoiding inconsistencies
between the notification sequence and the actual states sequence.

- Add vsock namespace support, allowing complete isolation of vsocks
across different network namespaces.

- Improve xsk generic performances with cache-alignment-oriented
optimizations.

- Support netconsole automatic target recovery, allowing netconsole
to reestablish targets when underlying low-level interface comes
back online.

Driver API:

- Support for switching the working mode (automatic vs manual) of a
DPLL device via netlink.

- Introduce PHY ports representation to expose multiple front-facing
media ports over a single MAC.

- Introduce "rx-polarity" and "tx-polarity" device tree properties,
to generalize polarity inversion requirements for differential
signaling.

- Add helper to create, prepare and enable managed clocks.

Device drivers:

- Add Huawei hinic3 PF etherner driver.

- Add DWMAC glue driver for Motorcomm YT6801 PCIe ethernet
controller.

- Add ethernet driver for MaxLinear MxL862xx switches

- Remove parallel-port Ethernet driver.

- Convert existing driver timestamp configuration reporting to

ring count retrieval. Also remove the legacy fallback path.

Merge branch 'net-netconsole-convert-to-nbcon-console-infrastructure'

Breno Leitao says:

====================
net: netconsole: convert to NBCON console infrastructure

This series adds support for the nbcon (new buffer console) infrastructure
to netconsole, enabling lock-free, priority-based console operations that
are safer in crash scenarios.

The implementation is introduced in three steps:

0) Extend printk to expose CPU and taskname (task->comm) where the
printk originated from. (Thanks John and Petr for the support in
getting this done)
1) Refactor the message fragmentation logic into a reusable helper function
2) Extend nbcon support to non-extended (basic) consoles using the same
infrastructure.

The initial discussion about it appeared a while ago in [1], in order to
solve Mike's HARDIRQ-safe -> HARDIRQ-unsafe lock order warning, and the root
cause is that some hosts were calling IRQ unsafe locks from inside console
lock.

At that time, we didn't have the CON_NBCON_ATOMIC_UNSAFE yet. John
kindly implemented CON_NBCON_ATOMIC_UNSAFE in 187de7c212e5 ("printk:
nbcon: Allow unsafe write_atomic() for panic"), and now we can
implement netconsole on top of nbcon.

Important to note that netconsole continues to call netpoll and the
network TX helpers with interrupt disable, given the TX are called with
target_list_lock.

printk: Add execution context (task name/CPU) to printk_info

Extend struct printk_info to include the task name, pid, and CPU
number where printk messages originate. This information is captured
at vprintk_store() time and propagated through printk_message to
nbcon_write_context, making it available to nbcon console drivers.

This is useful for consoles like netconsole that want to include
execution context in their output, allowing correlation of messages
with specific tasks and CPUs regardless of where the console driver
actually runs.

The feature is controlled by CONFIG_PRINTK_EXECUTION_CTX, which is
automatically selected by CONFIG_NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC. When disabled,
the helper functions compile to no-ops with no overhead.

net: remove HIPPI support and RoadRunner HIPPI driver

HIPPI has not been relevant for over two decades. It was rapidly
eclipsed by Fibre Channel, and even when it was new, it was
confined to very high-end hardware. The HIPPI code has only
received tree-wide changes and fixes by inspection in the entire
Git history. Remove HIPPI support and the rrunner HIPPI driver,
and move the former maintainer to the CREDITS file. Keep the
include/uapi/linux/if_hippi.h header because it is used by the TUN
code, and to avoid breaking userspace, however unlikely that may be.

Merge tag 'libcrypto-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiggers/linux

Pull crypto library updates from Eric Biggers:

- Add a RISC-V optimized implementation of Poly1305. This code was
written by Andy Polyakov and contributed by Zhihang Shao.

- Migrate the MD5 code into lib/crypto/, and add KUnit tests for MD5.

Yes, it's still the 90s, and several kernel subsystems are still
using MD5 for legacy use cases. As long as that remains the case,
it's helpful to clean it up in the same way as I've been doing for
other algorithms.

Later, I plan to convert most of these users of MD5 to use the new
MD5 library API instead of the generic crypto API.

- Simplify the organization of the ChaCha, Poly1305, BLAKE2s, and
Curve25519 code.

Consolidate these into one module per algorithm, and centralize the
configuration and build process. This is the same reorganization that
has already been successful for SHA-1 and SHA-2.

- Remove the unused crypto_kpp API for Curve25519.

- Migrate the BLAKE2s and Curve25519 self-tests to KUnit.

- Always enable the architecture-optimized BLAKE2s code.

internally, without any dependency on CRYPTO.

best to make this dependency explicit.
