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.

Merge tag 'timers-v7.3-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/daniel.lezcano/linux into timers/clocksource

- Use designated initializers for sh_mtu2, sh_cmt, and sh_tmu, and
drop the unused initializer in the platform_device_id table for
sh_mtu2 (Uwe Kleine-König)

- Remove redundant dev_err()/dev_err_probe() messages when
devm_request_*_irq() fails, as the helper already logs an error
message (Pan Chuang)

- Fix a boot hang on Allwinner D1 when a forced minimum delta is used
with the sun4i timer (Felix Yan)

- Fix an IRQ leak in the cpuhp_setup_state() error path by freeing the
IRQ on failure in the NXP PIT driver (WenTao Liang)

- Fix incorrect unmapping of shared MMIO between the clocksource and
clockevent drivers. If one of them fails to initialize, the error
path unmaps the shared MMIO region, leaving the other driver with an
invalid mapping on clps711x (Guangshuo Li)

- Make the samsung_pwm driver compatible with PREEMPT_RT by replacing
regular spinlocks with raw_spinlock_t in atomic contexts (Marek
Szyprowski)

- Use __raw_readl() and __raw_writel() instead of ioread32() and
iowrite32() to support SWAP_IO_SPACE in the rtl-otto driver (Rustam
Adilov)

- Fix a missing clk_disable_unprepare() call in the timer
initialization error path of the Armada driver (Yuho Choi)

Merge tag 'net-next-7.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

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

- Work on removing rtnl_lock protection throughout the stack
continues. In this chapter:
- don't use rtnl_lock for IPv6 multicast routing configuration
- don't take rtnl_lock in ethtool for modern drivers
- prepare Qdisc dump callbacks for rtnl_lock removal

- Support dumping just ifindex + name of all interfaces, under RCU.
It's a common operation for Netlink CLI tools (when translating
names to ifindexes) and previously required full rtnl_lock.

- Support dumping qdiscs and page pools for a specific netdev. Even
tho user space wants a dump of all netdevs, most of the time, the
OOO programming model results in repeating the dump for each
netdev. Which, in absence of a cache, leads to a O(n^2) behavior.

- Flush nexthops once on multi-nexthop removal (e.g. when device goes
down), another O(n^2) -> O(n) improvement.

- Rehash locally generated traffic to a different nexthop on
retransmit timeout.

- Honor oif when choosing nexthop for locally generated IPv6 traffic.

- Convert TCP Auth Option to crypto library, and drop non-RFC algos.

- Increase subflow limits in MPTCP to 64 and endpoint limit to 256.

- Support MPTCP signaling of IPv6 address + port (ADD_ADDR). We need
to selectively skip reporting of the standard TCP Timestamp option,
because they won't fit into the header space together (12 + 30 >
40).

- Support using bridge neighbor suppression, Duplicate Address
Detection, Gratuitous ARP and unsolicited NA forwarding - in EVPN
deployments, e.g. VXLAN fabrics (IPv4 and IPv6).

- Improve link state reporting for upper netdevs (e.g. macvlan) over
tunnel devices (again, mostly for EVPN deployments).

- Support binding GENEVE tunnels to a local address.

- Speed up UDP tunnel destruction (remove one synchronize_rcu()).

- Support exponential field encoding in multicast (IGMPv3 and MLDv2).

- Support attaching PSP crypto offload to containers (veth, netkit).

- Add a new IPSec Netlink message XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE_STATE that allows
migrating individual IPsec SAs independently of their policies.

The existing XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE is tightly coupled to policy+SA
migration, lacks SPI for unique SA identification, and cannot
express reqid changes or migrate Transport mode selectors.

The new interface identifies the SA via SPI and mark, supports
reqid changes, address family changes, encap removal, and uses an
atomic create+install flow under x->lock to prevent SN/IV reuse
during AEAD SA migration.

- Implement GRO/GSO support for PPPoE.

- Convert sockopt callbacks in a number of protocols to iov_iter.

Cross-tree stuff:

- Remove support for Crypto TFM cloning (unblocked after the TCP Auth
Option rework). This feature regressed performance for all crypto
API users, since it changed crypto transformation objects into
reference-counted objects.

- Add FCrypt-PCBC implementation to rxrpc and remove it from the
global crypto API as obsolete and insecure.

Wireless:

- Major rework of station bandwidth handling, fixing issues with
lower capability than AP.

- Cleanups for EMLSR spec issues (drafts differed).

- More Neighbor Awareness Networking (Wi-Fi Aware) work (multicast,
schedule improvements, multi-station etc.)

- Some Ultra High Reliability (UHR) / IEEE 802.11bn (D1.4) work
(e.g. non-primary channel access, UHR DBE support).

- Fine Timing Measurement ranging (i.e. distance measurement) APIs.

Netfilter:

- Use per-rule hash initval in nf_conncount. This avoids unnecessary
lock contention with short keys (e.g. conntrack zones) in different
namespaces.

- Various safety improvements, both in packet parsing and object
lifetimes. Notably add refcounts to conntrack timeout policy.

Deletions:

- Remove TLS + sockmap integration. TLS wants to pin user pages to
avoid a copy, and sockmap wants to write to the input stream. More
work on this integration is clearly needed, and we can't find any
users (original author admitted that they never deployed it).

- Remove support for TLS offload with TCP Offload Engine (the far
more common opportunistic offload is retained). The locking looks
unfixable (driver sleeps under TCP spin locks) and people from the
vendor that added this are AWOL.

- Remove more ATM code, trying to leave behind only what PPPoATM
needs, AAL5 and br2684 with permanent circuits.

- Remove AppleTalk. Let it join hamradio in our out of tree protocol
graveyard, I mean, repository.

- Disable 32-bit x_tables compatibility (32bit binaries on 64bit
kernel) interface in user namespaces. To be deleted completely,
soon.

- Remove 5/10 MHz support from cfg80211/mac80211.

Drivers:

- Software:
- Support DEVMEM/DMABUF Tx over NETMEM_TX_NO_DMA devices (netkit)
- bonding: add knob to strictly follow 802.3ad for link state

- New drivers:
- Alibaba Elastic Ethernet Adaptor (cloud vNIC).
- NXP NETC switch within i.MX94.

- DPLL:
- Add operational state to pins (implement in zl3073x).
- Add generic DPLL type, for daisy-chaining DPLLs (implement in ice).

- Ethernet high-speed NICs:
- Huawei (hinic3):
- enhance tc flow offload support with queue selection,
tunnels
- nVidia/Mellanox:
- avoid over-copying payload to the skb's linear part (up to
60% win for LRO on slow CPUs like ARM64 V2)
- expose more per-queue stats over the standard API
- support additional, unprivileged PFs in the DPU
configuration
- support Socket Direct (multi-PF) with switchdev offloads
- add a pool / frag allocator for DMA mapped buffers for
control objects, save memory on systems with 64kB page size
- take advantage of the ability to dynamically change RSS
table size, even when table is configured by the user
- increase the max RSS table size for even traffic
distribution

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
hwtstamp_get and remove legacy ioctl().

- Convert existing drivers to .get_rx_ring_count(), simplifing the RX
ring count retrieval. Also remove the legacy fallback path.

- Ethernet high-speed NICs:
- Broadcom (bnxt, bng):
- bnxt: add FW interface update to support FEC stats histogram
and NVRAM defragmentation
- bng: add TSO and H/W GRO support
- nVidia/Mellanox (mlx5):
- improve latency of channel restart operations, reducing the
used H/W resources
- add TSO support for UDP over GRE over VLAN
- add flow counters support for hardware steering (HWS) rules
- use a static memory area to store headers for H/W GRO,
leading to 12% RX tput improvement
