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 'mm-nonmm-stable-2025-12-06-11-14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton:

- "panic: sys_info: Refactor and fix a potential issue" (Andy Shevchenko)
fixes a build issue and does some cleanup in ib/sys_info.c

- "Implement mul_u64_u64_div_u64_roundup()" (David Laight)
enhances the 64-bit math code on behalf of a PWM driver and beefs up
the test module for these library functions

makes BPF symbol names, sizes, and line numbers available to the GDB
debugger

the hung-task and lockup detectors fire

- "liveupdate: Rework KHO for in-kernel users" (Pasha Tatashin)
reworks the KEXEC Handover interfaces in preparation for Live Update
Orchestrator (LUO), and possibly for other future clients

- "kho: simplify state machine and enable dynamic updates" (Pasha Tatashin)
increases the flexibility of KEXEC Handover. Also preparation for LUO

- "Live Update Orchestrator" (Pasha Tatashin)
is a major new feature targeted at cloud environments. Quoting the
cover letter:

This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel
subsystem designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a
kexec-based reboot. This capability is critical for cloud
environments, allowing hypervisors to be updated with minimal
downtime for running virtual machines. LUO achieves this by
preserving the state of selected resources, such as memory,
devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition.

As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving
memfd file descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such
as guest RAM or any other large memory region, to be maintained in
RAM across the kexec reboot.

Mike Rappaport merits a mention here, for his extensive review and
testing work.

- "kexec: reorganize kexec and kdump sysfs" (Sourabh Jain)
moves the kexec and kdump sysfs entries from /sys/kernel/ to
/sys/kernel/kexec/ and adds back-compatibility symlinks which can
hopefully be removed one day

- "kho: fixes for vmalloc restoration" (Mike Rapoport)
fixes a BUG which was being hit during KHO restoration of vmalloc()
regions

lib/base64: add support for multiple variants

Patch series " lib/base64: add generic encoder/decoder, migrate users", v5.

This series introduces a generic Base64 encoder/decoder to the kernel
library, eliminating duplicated implementations and delivering significant
performance improvements.

The Base64 API has been extended to support multiple variants (Standard,
URL-safe, and IMAP) as defined in RFC 4648 and RFC 3501. The API now
takes a variant parameter and an option to control padding. As part of
this series, users are migrated to the new interface while preserving
their specific formats: fscrypt now uses BASE64_URLSAFE, Ceph uses
BASE64_IMAP, and NVMe is updated to BASE64_STD.

On the encoder side, the implementation processes input in 3-byte blocks,
mapping 24 bits directly to 4 output symbols. This avoids bit-by-bit
streaming and reduces loop overhead, achieving about a 2.7x speedup
compared to previous implementations.

On the decoder side, replace strchr() lookups with per-variant reverse
tables and process input in 4-character groups. Each group is mapped to
numeric values and combined into 3 bytes. Padded and unpadded forms are
validated explicitly, rejecting invalid '=' usage and enforcing tail
rules. This improves throughput by ~43-52x.


This patch (of 6):

Extend the base64 API to support multiple variants (standard, URL-safe,
and IMAP) as defined in RFC 4648 and RFC 3501. The API now takes a
variant parameter and an option to control padding. Update NVMe auth code
to use the new interface with BASE64_STD.
