ASoC: Fixes for v6.19

We've been quite busy with fixes since the merge window, though not in
any particularly exciting ways - the standout thing is the fix for _SX
controls which were broken by a change to how we do clamping, otherwise
it's all fairly run of the mill fixes and quirks.

Merge tag 'net-next-6.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & protocols:

- Replace busylock at the Tx queuing layer with a lockless list.

Resulting in a 300% (4x) improvement on heavy TX workloads, sending
twice the number of packets per second, for half the cpu cycles.

- Allow constantly busy flows to migrate to a more suitable CPU/NIC
queue.

Normally we perform queue re-selection when flow comes out of idle,
but under extreme circumstances the flows may be constantly busy.

Add sysctl to allow periodic rehashing even if it'd risk packet
reordering.

- Optimize the NAPI skb cache, make it larger, use it in more paths.

- Attempt returning Tx skbs to the originating CPU (like we already
did for Rx skbs).

- Various data structure layout and prefetch optimizations from Eric.

- Remove ktime_get() from the recvmsg() fast path, ktime_get() is
sadly quite expensive on recent AMD machines.

- Extend threaded NAPI polling to allow the kthread busy poll for
packets.

- Make MPTCP use Rx backlog processing. This lowers the lock
pressure, improving the Rx performance.

- Support memcg accounting of MPTCP socket memory.

- Allow admin to opt sockets out of global protocol memory accounting
(using a sysctl or BPF-based policy). The global limits are a poor
fit for modern container workloads, where limits are imposed using
cgroups.

- Improve heuristics for when to kick off AF_UNIX garbage collection.

- Allow users to control TCP SACK compression, and default to 33% of
RTT.

- Add tcp_rcvbuf_low_rtt sysctl to let datacenter users avoid
unnecessarily aggressive rcvbuf growth and overshot when the
connection RTT is low.

- Preserve skb metadata space across skb_push / skb_pull operations.

- Support for IPIP encapsulation in the nftables flowtable offload.

- Support appending IP interface information to ICMP messages (RFC
5837).

- Support setting max record size in TLS (RFC 8449).

- Remove taking rtnl_lock from RTM_GETNEIGHTBL and RTM_SETNEIGHTBL.

- Use a dedicated lock (and RCU) in MPLS, instead of rtnl_lock.

- Let users configure the number of write buffers in SMC.

- Add new struct sockaddr_unsized for sockaddr of unknown length,
from Kees.

- Some conversions away from the crypto_ahash API, from Eric Biggers.

- Some preparations for slimming down struct page.

- YAML Netlink protocol spec for WireGuard.

- Add a tool on top of YAML Netlink specs/lib for reporting commonly
computed derived statistics and summarized system state.

Driver API:

- Add CAN XL support to the CAN Netlink interface.

- Add uAPI for reporting PHY Mean Square Error (MSE) diagnostics, as
defined by the OPEN Alliance's "Advanced diagnostic features for
100BASE-T1 automotive Ethernet PHYs" specification.

- Add DPLL phase-adjust-gran pin attribute (and implement it in
zl3073x).

- Refactor xfrm_input lock to reduce contention when NIC offloads
IPsec and performs RSS.

- Add info to devlink params whether the current setting is the
default or a user override. Allow resetting back to default.

- Add standard device stats for PSP crypto offload.

- Leverage DSA frame broadcast to implement simple HSR frame
duplication for a lot of switches without dedicated HSR offload.

- Add uAPI defines for 1.6Tbps link modes.

Device drivers:

- Add Motorcomm YT921x gigabit Ethernet switch support.

- Add MUCSE driver for N500/N210 1GbE NIC series.

- Convert drivers to support dedicated ops for timestamping control,
and away from the direct IOCTL handling. While at it support GET
operations for PHY timestamping.

- Add (and convert most drivers to) a dedicated ethtool callback for
reading the Rx ring count.

- Significant refactoring efforts in the STMMAC driver, which
supports Synopsys turn-key MAC IP integrated into a ton of SoCs.

Merge branch 'net-phy-remove-fixed_phy_add-and-first-its-users'

Heiner Kallweit says:

====================
net: phy: remove fixed_phy_add and first its users

fixed_phy_add() has a number of problems/disadvantages:
- It uses phy address 0 w/o checking whether a fixed phy with this
address exists already.
- A subsequent call to fixed_phy_register() would also use phy address 0,
because fixed_phy_add() doesn't mark it as used.
- fixed_phy_add() is used from platform code, therefore requires that
fixed phy code is built-in.

fixed_phy_add() has only two users
- coldfire/5272, using fec
- bcm47xx, using b44

So migrate fec and b44 to use fixed_phy_register_100fd(), afterwards
remove usage of fixed_phy_add() from the two platforms, and eventually
remove fixed_phy_add().

In case of bcm47xx a fixed phy is used, which so far is created
by platform code, using fixed_phy_add(). This function has a number of
problems, therefore create a potentially needed fixed phy here, using
fixed_phy_register_100fd.

Due to lack of hardware, this is compile-tested only.

Merge tag 'net-next-6.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

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

- Improve drop account scalability on NUMA hosts for RAW and UDP
sockets and the backlog, almost doubling the Pps capacity under DoS

- Optimize the UDP RX performance under stress, reducing contention,
revisiting the binary layout of the involved data structs and
implementing NUMA-aware locking. This improves UDP RX performance
by an additional 50%, even more under extreme conditions

- Add support for PSP encryption of TCP connections; this mechanism
has some similarities with IPsec and TLS, but offers superior HW
offloads capabilities

- Ongoing work to support Accurate ECN for TCP. AccECN allows more
than one congestion notification signal per RTT and is a building
block for Low Latency, Low Loss, and Scalable Throughput (L4S)

- Reorganize the TCP socket binary layout for data locality, reducing
the number of touched cachelines in the fastpath

- Refactor skb deferral free to better scale on large multi-NUMA
hosts, this improves TCP and UDP RX performances significantly on
such HW

- Increase the default socket memory buffer limits from 256K to 4M to
better fit modern link speeds

- Improve handling of setups with a large number of nexthop, making
dump operating scaling linearly and avoiding unneeded
synchronize_rcu() on delete

- Improve bridge handling of VLAN FDB, storing a single entry per
bridge instead of one entry per port; this makes the dump order of
magnitude faster on large switches

- Restore IP ID correctly for encapsulated packets at GSO
segmentation time, allowing GRO to merge packets in more scenarios

- Improve netfilter matching performance on large sets

- Improve MPTCP receive path performance by leveraging recently
introduced core infrastructure (skb deferral free) and adopting
recent TCP autotuning changes

- Allow bridges to redirect to a backup port when the bridge port is
administratively down

- Introduce MPTCP 'laminar' endpoint that con be used only once per
connection and simplify common MPTCP setups

- Add RCU safety to dst->dev, closing a lot of possible races

- A significant crypto library API for SCTP, MPTCP and IPv6 SR,
reducing code duplication

- Supports pulling data from an skb frag into the linear area of an
XDP buffer

Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

- Generate netlink documentation from YAML using an integrated YAML
parser

Driver API:

- Support using IPv6 Flow Label in Rx hash computation and RSS queue
selection

- Introduce API for fetching the DMA device for a given queue,
allowing TCP zerocopy RX on more H/W setups

- Make XDP helpers compatible with unreadable memory, allowing more
easily building DevMem-enabled drivers with a unified XDP/skbs
datapath

- Add a new dedicated ethtool callback enabling drivers to provide
the number of RX rings directly, improving efficiency and clarity
in RX ring queries and RSS configuration

- Introduce a burst period for the health reporter, allowing better
handling of multiple errors due to the same root cause

- Support for DPLL phase offset exponential moving average,
controlling the average smoothing factor

Device drivers:

- Add a new Huawei driver for 3rd gen NIC (hinic3)

- Add a new SpacemiT driver for K1 ethernet MAC

- Add a generic abstraction for shared memory communication
devices (dibps)

- Ethernet high-speed NICs:
- nVidia/Mellanox:
- Use multiple per-queue doorbell, to avoid MMIO contention
issues
- support adjacent functions, allowing them to delegate their
SR-IOV VFs to sibling PFs
- support RSS for IPSec offload
- support exposing raw cycle counters in PTP and mlx5

Merge branch 'add-more-functionality-to-bnge'

Bhargava Marreddy says:

====================
Add more functionality to BNGE

This patch series adds the infrastructure to make the netdevice
functional. It allocates data structures for core resources,
followed by their initialisation and registration with the firmware.
The core resources include the RX, TX, AGG, CMPL, and NQ rings,
as well as the VNIC. RX/TX functionality will be introduced in the
next patch series to keep this one at a reviewable size.
