        <description>Merge tag &apos;v7.2-rc1&apos; into drm-rust-nextMerge v7.2-rc1 into drm-rust-next to start the next cycle.Devres now requires T: &apos;static, which conflicts with shmem::Object usingDevres&lt;SGTableMap&lt;T, C&gt;&gt; without that bound. Resolve by adding &apos;staticas a supertrait to DriverObject and DeviceContext, which does notrestrict any current use cases since DriverObject is always implementedon owned, refcounted types and DeviceContext is a sealed marker traitwith only unit-type implementors.If DriverObject (or DeviceContext) ever becomes lifetime-parameterized(e.g. via a GAT for TTM backed objects), the &apos;static supertrait can berelaxed at that point.Signed-off-by: Danilo Krummrich &lt;dakr@kernel.org&gt;

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)Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/75feea31-683d-45a1-87f4-ab045e0152ae@oss.qualcomm.com

        <description>Merge tag &apos;bpf-next-7.2&apos; of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-nextPull bpf updates from Alexei Starovoitov: &quot;Major changes:   - Recover from BPF arena page faults using a scratch page and add     ptep_try_set() for lockless empty-slot installs on x86 and arm64.     This allows BPF kfuncs to access arena pointers directly.     The &apos;arena_direct_access&apos; stable branch was created for this work     and was pulled into sched-ext and bpf-next trees (Tejun Heo, Kumar     Kartikeya Dwivedi)   - Lift old restriction and support 6+ arguments in BPF programs and     kfuncs on x86 and arm64 (Yonghong Song, Puranjay Mohan)  Other features and fixes:   - Add 24-bit BTF vlen and reclaim unused bits in the BTF UAPI to ease     addition of new BTF kinds (Alan Maguire)   - Raise the maximum BPF call chain depth from 8 to 16 frames (Alexei     Starovoitov)   - Refactor object relationship tracking in the verifier and fix a     dynptr use-after-free bug (Amery Hung)   - Harden the signed program loader and reject exclusive maps as inner     maps (Daniel Borkmann)   - Replace the verifier min/max bounds fields with a circular number     (cnum) representation and improve 32-&gt;64 bit range refinements     (Eduard Zingerman)   - Introduce the arena library and runtime (libarena) with a buddy     allocator, rbtree and SPMC queue data structures, ASAN support and     a parallel test harness. Allow subprograms to return arena pointers     and switch to a BTF type-tag based __arena annotation (Emil     Tsalapatis)   - Cache build IDs in the sleepable stackmap path and avoid faultable     build ID reads under mm locks (Ihor Solodrai)   - Introduce the tracing_multi link to attach a single BPF program to     many kernel functions at once. Allow specifying the uprobe_multi     target via FD (Jiri Olsa)   - Extend the bpf_list family of kfuncs with bpf_list_add/del(), and     bpf_list_is_first/is_last/empty() (Kaitao Cheng)   - Extend the BPF syscall with common attributes support for     prog_load, btf_load and map_create (Leon Hwang)   - Wrap rhashtable as BPF map (Mykyta Yatsenko, Herbert Xu)   - Add sleepable support for tracepoint programs and fix deadlocks in     LRU map due to NMI reentry (Mykyta Yatsenko)   - Fix OOB access in bpf_flow_keys, fix nullness analysis of inner     arrays, enforce write checks for global subprograms (Nuoqi Gui)   - Report the maximum combined stack depth and print a breakdown of     instructions processed per subprogram (Paul Chaignon)   - Add an XDP load-balancer benchmark and arm64 JIT support for stack     arguments (Puranjay Mohan)   - Add kfuncs to traverse over wakeup_sources (Samuel Wu)   - Allow sleepable BPF programs to use LPM trie maps directly (Vlad     Poenaru)   - Many more fixes and cleanups across the verifier, BTF, sockmap,     devmap, bpffs, security hooks, s390/riscv/loongarch JITs,     rqspinlock, libbpf, bpftool, selftests&quot;* tag &apos;bpf-next-7.2&apos; of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next: (336 commits)  selftests/bpf: Work around llvm stack overflow in crypto progs  selftests/bpf: add test for bpf_msg_pop_data() overflow  bpf, sockmap: fix integer overflow in bpf_msg_pop_data() bounds check  sockmap: Fix use-after-free in udp_bpf_recvmsg()  bpf, sockmap: keep sk_msg copy state in sync  bpf, sockmap: Fix wrong rsge offset in bpf_msg_push_data()  bpf, sockmap: reject overflowing copy + len in bpf_msg_push_data()  selftsets/bpf: Retry map update on helper_fill_hashmap()  selftests/bpf: Add test for sleepable lsm_cgroup rejection  selftests/bpf: Add test to verify the fix for bpf_setsockopt() helper  bpf: Fix bpf_get/setsockopt to tos for ipv4-mapped ipv6 socket  selftests/bpf: Avoid static LLVM linking for cross builds  selftests/bpf: Use common CFLAGS for urandom_read  selftests/bpf: Initialize operation name before use  tools/bpf: build: Append extra cflags  libbpf: Initialize CFLAGS before including Makefile.include  bpftool: Append extra host flags  bpftool: Avoid adding EXTRA_CFLAGS to HOST_CFLAGS  bpftool: Pass host flags to bootstrap libbpf  selftests/bpf: correct CONFIG_PPC64 macro name in comment  ...

        <description>Merge branch &apos;selftests-bpf-tolerate-partial-builds-across-kernel-configs&apos;Ricardo B. Marliere says:====================selftests/bpf: Tolerate partial builds across kernel configsCurrently the BPF selftests can only be built by using the minimum kernelconfiguration defined in tools/testing/selftests/bpf/config*. This poses aproblem in distribution kernels that may have some of the flags disabled orset as module. For example, we have been running the tests regularly inopenSUSE Tumbleweed [1] [2] but to work around this fact we created aspecial package [3] that build the tests against an auxiliary vmlinux withthe BPF Kconfig. We keep a list of known issues that may happen due to,amongst other things, configuration mismatches [4] [5].The maintenance of this package is far from ideal, especially forenterprise kernels. The goal of this series is to enable the common usecaseof running the following in any system:```shmake -C tools/testing/selftests install \     SKIP_TARGETS= \     TARGETS=bpf \     BPF_STRICT_BUILD=0 \     O=/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build```As an example, the following script targeting a minimal config can be usedfor testing:```shmake defconfigscripts/config --file .config \               --enable DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT \               --enable DEBUG_INFO_BTF \               --enable BPF_SYSCALL \               --enable BPF_JITmake olddefconfigmake -j$(nproc)make -j$(nproc) -C tools/testing/selftests install \     SKIP_TARGETS= \     TARGETS=bpf \     BPF_STRICT_BUILD=0```This produces a test_progs binary with 592 subtests, against the total of727. Many of them will still fail or be skipped at runtime due to lack ofsymbols, but at least there will be a clear way of building the tests.[1]: https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/5811715[2]: https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/5811730[3]: https://src.opensuse.org/rmarliere/kselftests[4]: https://github.com/openSUSE/kernel-qe/blob/main/kselftests_known_issues.yaml[5]: https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/5811730/logfile?filename=run_kselftests-config_mismatches.txt---Changes in v12:- Rebase from 11 to 8 commits: split the test_kmods KDIR patch into a  pure KDIR fix (no PERMISSIVE) and a separate tolerance patch; squash  the BPF_STRICT_BUILD toggle with its first PERMISSIVE user; squash  the four test_progs partial-build patches into one; move the install  fix to immediately follow the first PERMISSIVE user- Link to v11: https://patch.msgid.link/20260430-selftests-bpf_misconfig-v11-0-e11f7a8c4fdc@suse.comChanges in v11:- Gate the BTFIDS pretty-print on $(filter 1,$(V)) so V=0 and V=2 still  print the marker; only V=1 suppresses it (patch 6)- Use asm volatile (&quot;&quot;) in the uprobe_multi_func_{1,2,3} weak stubs to  match the strong definitions in prog_tests/uprobe_multi_test.c  (patch 10)- Link to v10: https://patch.msgid.link/20260430-selftests-bpf_misconfig-v10-0-cd302a31af16@suse.comChanges in v10:- Drop $(wildcard $^) from the bench link recipe so cc fails cleanly on  the first missing input and the || fallback emits one SKIP-LINK line  instead of a wall of undefined-reference errors;

        <title>9779193e871b144e34ec4a3e50109b3778a51a69 - selftests/bpf: Fix test_kmods KDIR to honor O= and distro kernels</title>
        <link>http://kernelsources.org:8080/source/history/linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_kmods/Makefile#9779193e871b144e34ec4a3e50109b3778a51a69</link>
        <description>selftests/bpf: Fix test_kmods KDIR to honor O= and distro kernelstest_kmods/Makefile always pointed KDIR at the kernel source tree root,ignoring O= and KBUILD_OUTPUT. On distro kernels where the source tree hasnot been built, the Makefile had no fallback and would failunconditionally.When O= or KBUILD_OUTPUT is set and points at a prepared kernel builddirectory (one containing Module.symvers), pass it through so kbuild canlocate the correct build infrastructure (scripts, Kconfig, etc.). Notethat the module artifacts themselves still land in the M= directory,which is test_kmods/; O= only controls where kbuild finds its buildinfrastructure. Fall back to /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build when neitheran explicit valid build directory nor an in-tree Module.symvers ispresent.A selftests-only O= value (one that does not contain Module.symvers, e.g.a private output directory) is intentionally not treated as a kernelbuild directory. Without this guard, a user invoking&quot;make -C tools/testing/selftests/bpf O=/tmp/out&quot; would have test_kmodstry to use /tmp/out as the kernel build dir and fail.The parent bpf/Makefile resolves O= and KBUILD_OUTPUT to absolute pathsbefore invoking the test_kmods sub-make. Without this, $(abspath ...)inside test_kmods/Makefile would resolve relative paths against thesub-make&apos;s CWD (test_kmods/) rather than the user&apos;s invocation directory.When O= is passed to kbuild, also pass KBUILD_OUTPUT=$(KMOD_O_VALID)explicitly. The parent invocation lifts KBUILD_OUTPUT into MAKEFLAGS asa command-line variable, which would otherwise suppress kbuild&apos;s own&quot;KBUILD_OUTPUT := $(O)&quot; assignment and cause it to use the inheritedKBUILD_OUTPUT instead of the validated O=.Guard both all and clean against a missing KDIR so the step is silentlyskipped rather than fatal. Make the parent Makefile&apos;s cp conditional so itdoes not abort when modules were not built.Signed-off-by: Ricardo B.
