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 'tracepoints-v6.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace

Pull unused tracepoints update from Steven Rostedt:
"Detect unused tracepoints.

If a tracepoint is defined but never used (TRACE_EVENT() created but
no trace_<tracepoint>() called), it can take up to or more than 5K of
memory each. This can add up as there are around a hundred unused
tracepoints with various configs. That is 500K of wasted memory.

Add a make build parameter of "UT=1" to have the build warn if an
unused tracepoint is detected in the build. This allows detection of
unused tracepoints to be upstream so that outreachy and the mentoring
project can have new developers look for fixing them, without having
these warnings suddenly show up when someone upgrades their kernel.

When all known unused tracepoints are removed, then the "UT=1" build
parameter can be removed and unused tracepoints will always warn. This
will catch new unused tracepoints after the current ones have been
removed.

Summary:

- Separate out elf functions from sorttable.c

Move out the ELF parsing functions from sorttable.c so that the
tracing tooling can use it.

- Add a tracepoint verifier tool to the build process

If "UT=1" is added to the kernel command line, any unused
tracepoints will trigger a warning at build time.

- Do not warn about unused tracepoints for tracepoints that are
exported

There are sever cases where a tracepoint is created by the kernel
and used by modules. Since there's no easy way to detect if these
are truly unused since the users are in modules, if a tracepoint is
exported, assume it will eventually be used by a module. Note,
there's not many exported tracepoints so this should not be a
problem to ignore them.

- Have building of modules also detect unused tracepoints

Do not only check the main vmlinux for unused tracepoints, also
check modules. If a module is defining a tracepoint it should be
using it.

- Add the tracepoint-update program to the ignore file

The new tracepoint-update program needs to be ignored by git"

tracing: Add a tracepoint verification check at build time

If a tracepoint is defined via DECLARE_TRACE() or TRACE_EVENT() but never
called (via the trace_<tracepoint>() function), its metadata is still
around in memory and not discarded.

When created via TRACE_EVENT() the situation is worse because the
TRACE_EVENT() creates metadata that can be around 5k per trace event.
Having unused trace events causes several thousand of wasted bytes.

Add a verifier that injects a string of the name of the tracepoint it
calls that is added to the discarded section "__tracepoint_check".
For every builtin tracepoint, its name (which is saved in the in-memory
section "__tracepoint_strings") will have its name also in the
"__tracepoint_check" section if it is used.

Add a new program that is run on build called tracepoint-update. This is
executed on the vmlinux.o before the __tracepoint_check section is
discarded (the section is discarded before vmlinux is created). This
program will create an array of each string in the __tracepoint_check
section and then sort it. Then it will walk the strings in the
__tracepoint_strings section and do a binary search to check if its name
is in the __tracepoint_check section. If it is not, then it is unused and
a warning is printed.

Note, this currently only handles tracepoints that are builtin and not in
modules.

Enabling this currently with a given config produces:

warning: tracepoint 'sched_move_numa' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'sched_stick_numa' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'sched_swap_numa' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'pelt_hw_tp' is unused.

warning: tracepoint 'tcp_ao_snd_sne_update' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'tcp_ao_rcv_sne_update' is unused.

Some of the above is totally unused but others are not used due to their
"trace_" functions being inside configs, in which case, the defined
tracepoints should also be inside those same configs. Others are
architecture specific but defined in generic code, where they should
either be moved to the architecture or be surrounded by #ifdef for the
architectures they are for.

This tool could be updated to process modules in the future.

I'd like to thank Mathieu Desnoyers for suggesting using strings instead
of pointers, as using pointers in vmlinux.o required handling relocations
and it required implementing almost a full feature linker to do so.

To enable this check, run the build with: make UT=1

Note, when all the existing unused tracepoints are removed from the build,
the "UT=1" will be removed and this will always be enabled when
tracepoints are configured to warn on any new tracepoints. The reason this
isn't always enabled now is because it will introduce a lot of warnings
for the current unused tracepoints, and all bisects would end at this
commit for those warnings.

Merge branch 'for-6.15/amd_sfh' into for-linus

From: Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@amd.com>

Some platforms include a human presence detection (HPD) sensor. When
enabled and a user is detected a wake event will be emitted from the
sensor fusion hub that software can react to.

Example use cases are "wake from suspend on approach" or to "lock
when leaving".

This is currently enabled by default on supported systems, but users
can't control it. This essentially means that wake on approach is
enabled which is a really surprising behavior to users that don't
expect it.

Instead of defaulting to enabled add a sysfs knob that users can
use to enable the feature if desirable and set it to disabled by
default.

Merge tag 'net-next-6.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"This is slightly smaller than usual, with the most interesting work
being still around RTNL scope reduction.

Core:

- More core refactoring to reduce the RTNL lock contention, including
preparatory work for the per-network namespace RTNL lock, replacing
RTNL lock with a per device-one to protect NAPI-related net device
data and moving synchronize_net() calls outside such lock.

- Extend drop reasons usage, adding net scheduler, AF_UNIX, bridge
and more specific TCP coverage.

- Reduce network namespace tear-down time by removing per-subsystems
synchronize_net() in tipc and sched.

- Add flow label selector support for fib rules, allowing traffic
redirection based on such header field.

Netfilter:

- Do not remove netdev basechain when last device is gone, allowing
netdev basechains without devices.

- Revisit the flowtable teardown strategy, dealing better with fin,
reset and re-open events.

- Scale-up IP-vs connection dumping by avoiding linear search on each
restart.

Protocols:

- A significant XDP socket refactor, consolidating and optimizing
several helpers into the core

- Better scaling of ICMP rate-limiting, by removing false-sharing in
inet peers handling.

- Introduces netlink notifications for multicast IPv4 and IPv6
address changes.

- Add ipsec support for IP-TFS/AggFrag encapsulation, allowing
aggregation and fragmentation of the inner IP.

- Add sysctl to configure TIME-WAIT reuse delay for TCP sockets, to
avoid local port exhaustion issues when the average connection
lifetime is very short.

- Support updating keys (re-keying) for connections using kernel TLS
(for TLS 1.3 only).

- Support ipv4-mapped ipv6 address clients in smc-r v2.

- Add support for jumbo data packet transmission in RxRPC sockets,
gluing multiple data packets in a single UDP packet.

- Support RxRPC RACK-TLP to manage packet loss and retransmission in
conjunction with the congestion control algorithm.

Driver API:

- Introduce a unified and structured interface for reporting PHY
statistics, exposing consistent data across different H/W via
ethtool.

- Make timestamping selectable, allow the user to select the desired
hwtstamp provider (PHY or MAC) administratively.

- Add support for configuring a header-data-split threshold (HDS)
value via ethtool, to deal with partial or buggy H/W
implementation.

- Consolidate DSA drivers Energy Efficiency Ethernet support.

- Add EEE management to phylink, making use of the phylib
implementation.

- Add phylib support for in-band capabilities negotiation.

- Simplify how phylib-enabled mac drivers expose the supported
interfaces.

Tests and tooling:

- Make the YNL tool package-friendly to make it easier to deploy it
separately from the kernel.

- Increase TCP selftest coverage importing several packetdrill
test-cases.

- Regenerate the ethtool uapi header from the YNL spec, to ease
maintenance and future development.

- Add YNL support for decoding the link types used in net self-tests,
allowing a single build to run both net and drivers/net.

Merge branch 'lib-packing-introduce-and-use-un-pack_fields'

Jacob Keller says:

====================
lib: packing: introduce and use (un)pack_fields

This series improves the packing library with a new API for packing or
unpacking a large number of fields at once with minimal code footprint. The
API is then used to replace bespoke packing logic in the ice driver,
preparing it to handle unpacking in the future. Finally, the ice driver has
a few other cleanups related to the packing logic.

The pack_fields and unpack_fields functions have the following improvements
over the existing pack() and unpack() API:

1. Packing or unpacking a large number of fields takes significantly less
code. This significantly reduces the .text size for an increase in the
.data size which is much smaller.

2. The unpacked data can be stored in sizes smaller than u64 variables.
This reduces the storage requirement both for runtime data structures,
and for the rodata defining the fields. This scales with the number of
fields used.

3. Most of the error checking is done at compile time, rather than
runtime, via CHECK_PACKED_FIELD macros.

The actual packing and unpacking code still uses the u64 size
variables. However, these are converted to the appropriate field sizes when
storing or reading the data from the buffer.

This version now uses significantly improved macro checks, thanks to the
work of Vladimir. We now only need 300 lines of macro for the generated
checks. In addition, each new check only requires 4 lines of code for its
macro implementation and 1 extra line in the CHECK_PACKED_FIELDS macro.
This is significantly better than previous versions which required ~2700
lines.

The CHECK_PACKED_FIELDS macro uses __builtin_choose_expr to select the
appropriately sized CHECK_PACKED_FIELDS_N macro. This enables directly
adding CHECK_PACKED_FIELDS calls into the pack_fields and unpack_fields
macros. Drivers no longer need to call the CHECK_PACKED_FIELDS_N macros
directly, and we do not need to modify Kbuild or introduce multiple CONFIG
options.

The code for the CHECK_PACKED_FIELDS_(0..50) and CHECK_PACKED_FIELDS itself
can be generated from the C program in scripts/gen_packed_field_checks.c.
This little C program may be used in the future to update the checks to
more sizes if a driver with more than 50 fields appears in the future.
The total amount of required code is now much smaller, and we don't
anticipate needing to increase the size very often. Thus, it makes sense to
simply commit the result directly instead of attempting to modify Kbuild to
automatically generate it.

This version uses the 5-argument format of pack_fields and unpack_fields,
with the size of the packed buffer passed as one of the arguments. We do
enforce that the compiler can tell its a constant using
__builtin_constant_p(), ensuring that the size checks are handled at
compile time. We could reduce these to 4 arguments and require that the
passed in pbuf be of a type which has the appropriate size. I opted against
that because it makes the API less flexible and a bit less natural to use
in existing code.

lib: packing: add pack_fields() and unpack_fields()

This is new API which caters to the following requirements:

- Pack or unpack a large number of fields to/from a buffer with a small
code footprint. The current alternative is to open-code a large number
of calls to pack() and unpack(), or to use packing() to reduce that
number to half. But packing() is not const-correct.

- Use unpacked numbers stored in variables smaller than u64. This
reduces the rodata footprint of the stored field arrays.

- Perform error checking at compile time, rather than runtime, and return
void from the API functions. Because the C preprocessor can't generate
variable length code (loops), this is a bit tricky to do with macros.

To handle this, implement macros which sanity check the packed field
definitions based on their size. Finally, a single macro with a chain of
__builtin_choose_expr() is used to select the appropriate macros. We
enforce the use of ascending or descending order to avoid O(N^2) scaling
when checking for overlap. Note that the macros are written with care to
ensure that the compilers can correctly evaluate the resulting code at
compile time. In particular, care was taken with avoiding too many nested
statement expressions. Nested statement expressions trip up some
compilers, especially when passing down variables created in previous
statement expressions.

There are two key design choices intended to keep the overall macro code
size small. First, the definition of each CHECK_PACKED_FIELDS_N macro is
implemented recursively, by calling the N-1 macro. This avoids needing
the code to repeat multiple times.

Second, the CHECK_PACKED_FIELD macro enforces that the fields in the
array are sorted in order. This allows checking for overlap only with
neighboring fields, rather than the general overlap case where each field
would need to be checked against other fields.

The overlap checks use the first two fields to determine the order of the
remaining fields, thus allowing either ascending or descending order.
This enables drivers the flexibility to keep the fields ordered in which
ever order most naturally fits their hardware design and its associated
documentation.

The CHECK_PACKED_FIELDS macro is directly called from within pack_fields
and unpack_fields, ensuring that all drivers using the API receive the
benefits of the compile-time checks. Users do not need to directly call
any of the macros directly.

The CHECK_PACKED_FIELDS and its helper macros CHECK_PACKED_FIELDS_(0..50)
are generated using a simple C program in scripts/gen_packed_field_checks.c
This program can be compiled on demand and executed to generate the
macro code in include/linux/packing.h. This will aid in the event that a
driver needs more than 50 fields. The generator can be updated with a new
size, and used to update the packing.h header file. In practice, the ice
driver will need to support 27 fields, and the sja1105 driver will need
to support 0 fields. This on-demand generation avoids the need to modify
Kbuild. We do not anticipate the maximum number of fields to grow very
often.

- Reduced rodata footprint for the storage of the packed field arrays.
To that end, we have struct packed_field_u8 and packed_field_u16, which
define the fields with the associated type. More can be added as
needed (unlikely for now). On these types, the same generic pack_fields()
and unpack_fields() API can be used, thanks to the new C11 _Generic()
selection feature, which can call pack_fields_u8() or pack_fields_16(),
depending on the type of the "fields" array - a simplistic form of
polymorphism. It is evaluated at compile time which function will actually
be called.

Over time, packing() is expected to be completely replaced either with
pack() or with pack_fields().
