Remove the amateur radio (AX.25, NET/ROM, ROSE) protocol implementation
and all associated hamradio device drivers from the kernel tree.
This set of protocols has long been a huge bug/syzbot magnet,
and since nobody stepped up to help us deal with the influx
of the AI-generated bug reports we need to move it out of tree
to protect our sanity.
The code is moved to an out-of-tree repo:
https://github.com/linux-netdev/mod-orphan
if it's cleaned up and reworked there we can accept it back.
Minimal stub headers are kept for include/net/ax25.h (AX25_P_IP,
AX25_ADDR_LEN, ax25_address) and include/net/rose.h (ROSE_ADDR_LEN)
so that the conditional integration code in arp.c and tun.c continues
to compile and work when the out-of-tree modules are loaded.

Remove the ISDN (mISDN, CAPI) subsystem and Bluetooth CMTP protocol
from the kernel tree.
ISDN is a pretty old technology and it's unclear whether anyone still
uses it. I went over the last few years of git history and all the
commits are either tree-wide conversions or syzbot/static analyzer
fixes.
When we discussed removal in the past IIRC there were some concerns
about ISDN still being used in parts of Germany. Unfortunately, the
code base is quite old, none of the current maintainers are familiar
with it and AI tools will have a field day finding bugs here.
Delete this code and preserve it in an out-of-tree repository
for any remaining users:
https://github.com/linux-netdev/mod-orphan
UAPI constants AF_ISDN/PF_ISDN and the SELinux isdn_socket class
are preserved for ABI stability, but the rest of uAPI is removed.

Remove CAIF (Communication CPU to Application CPU Interface), the
ST-Ericsson modem protocol. The subsystem has been orphaned since 2013.
The last meaningful changes from the maintainers were in March 2013:
a8c7687bf2 ("caif_virtio: Check that vringh_config is not null")
b2273be8d2 ("caif_virtio: Use vringh_notify_enable correctly")
0d2e1a2926 ("caif_virtio: Introduce caif over virtio")
Not-so-coincidentally, according to "the Internet" ST-Ericsson officially
shut down its modem joint venture in Aug 2013.
If anyone is using this code please yell!
In the 13 years since, the code has accumulated 200 non-merge commits,
of which 71 were cross-tree API changes, 21 carried Fixes: tags, and
the remaining ~110 were cleanups, doc conversions, treewide refactors,
and one partial removal (caif_hsi, ca75bcf0a8).
We are still getting fixes to this code, in the last 10 days there were
3 reports on security@ about CAIF that I have been CCed on.
UAPI constants (AF_CAIF, ARPHRD_CAIF, N_CAIF, VIRTIO_ID_CAIF) and the
SELinux classmap entry are intentionally kept for ABI stability.

Pull pid_namespace updates from Christian Brauner:
- pid_namespace: make init creation more flexible
Annotate ->child_reaper accesses with {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() to protect
the unlocked readers from cpu/compiler reordering, and enforce that
pid 1 in a pid namespace is always the first allocated pid (the
set_tid path already required this).
On top of that, allow opening pid_for_children before the pid
namespace init has been created. This lets one process create the pid
namespace and a different process create the init via setns(), which
makes clone3(set_tid) usable in all cases evenly and is particularly
useful to CRIU when restoring nested containers.
A new selftest covers both the basic create-pidns-then-init flow and
the cross-process variant, and a MAINTAINERS entry for the pid
namespace code is added.
- unrelated signal cleanup: update outdated comment for the removed
freezable_schedule()
* tag 'kernel-7.1-rc1.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs:

MAINTAINERS: add a pid namespace entry
selftests: Add tests for creating pidns init via setns
pid_namespace: allow opening pid_for_children before init was created

pid_namespace: avoid optimization of accesses to ->child_reaper
Core & protocols
----------------
- Support HW queue leasing, allowing containers to be granted access
to HW queues for zero-copy operations and AF_XDP.
- Number of code moves to help the compiler with inlining.
Avoid output arguments for returning drop reason where possible.
- Rework drop handling within qdiscs to include more metadata
about the reason and dropping qdisc in the tracepoints.
- Remove the rtnl_lock use from IP Multicast Routing.
- Pack size information into the Rx Flow Steering table pointer
itself. This allows making the table itself a flat array of u32s,
thus making the table allocation size a power of two.
- Report TCP delayed ack timer information via socket diag.
- Add ip_local_port_step_width sysctl to allow distributing the randomly
selected ports more evenly throughout the allowed space.
- Add support for per-route tunsrc in IPv6 segment routing.
- Start work of switching sockopt handling to iov_iter.
- Improve dynamic recvbuf sizing in MPTCP, limit burstiness and avoid
buffer size drifting up.
- Support MSG_EOR in MPTCP.
- Add stp_mode attribute to the bridge driver for STP mode selection.
This addresses concerns about call_usermodehelper() usage.
- Remove UDP-Lite support (as announced in 2023).
- Remove support for building IPv6 as a module.
Remove the now unnecessary function calling indirection.
Cross-tree stuff
----------------
- Move Michael MIC code from generic crypto into wireless,
it's considered insecure but some WiFi networks still need it.
Netfilter
---------
- Switch nft_fib_ipv6 module to no longer need temporary dst_entry
object allocations by using fib6_lookup() + RCU.
Florian W reports this gets us ~13% higher packet rate.
- Convert IPVS's global __ip_vs_mutex to per-net service_mutex and
switch the service tables to be per-net. Convert some code that
walks the service lists to use RCU instead of the service_mutex.
- Add more opinionated input validation to lower security exposure.
- Make IPVS hash tables to be per-netns and resizable.
Wireless
--------
- Finished assoc frame encryption/EPPKE/802.1X-over-auth.
- Radar detection improvements.
- Add 6 GHz incumbent signal detection APIs.
- Multi-link support for FILS, probe response templates and
client probing.
- New APIs and mac80211 support for NAN (Neighbor Aware Networking,
aka Wi-Fi Aware) so less work must be in firmware.
Driver API
----------
- Add numerical ID for devlink instances (to avoid having to create
fake bus/device pairs just to have an ID). Support shared devlink
instances which span multiple PFs.
- Add standard counters for reporting pause storm events
(implement in mlx5 and fbnic).
- Add configuration API for completion writeback buffering
(implement in mana).
- Support driver-initiated change of RSS context sizes.
- Support DPLL monitoring input frequency (implement in zl3073x).
- Support per-port resources in devlink (implement in mlx5).
Misc
----
- Expand the YAML spec for Netfilter.

Pull bpf updates from Alexei Starovoitov:
- Welcome new BPF maintainers: Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi, Eduard
Zingerman while Martin KaFai Lau reduced his load to Reviwer.
- Lots of fixes everywhere from many first time contributors. Thank you
All.
- Diff stat is dominated by mechanical split of verifier.c into
multiple components:
- backtrack.c: backtracking logic and jump history
- states.c: state equivalence
- cfg.c: control flow graph, postorder, strongly connected
components
- liveness.c: register and stack liveness
- fixups.c: post-verification passes: instruction patching, dead
code removal, bpf_loop inlining, finalize fastcall
8k line were moved. verifier.c still stands at 20k lines.
Further refactoring is planned for the next release.
- Replace dynamic stack liveness with static stack liveness based on
data flow analysis.
This improved the verification time by 2x for some programs and
equally reduced memory consumption. New logic is in liveness.c and
supported by constant folding in const_fold.c (Eduard Zingerman,
Alexei Starovoitov)
- Introduce BTF layout to ease addition of new BTF kinds (Alan Maguire)
- Use kmalloc_nolock() universally in BPF local storage (Amery Hung)
- Fix several bugs in linked registers delta tracking (Daniel Borkmann)
- Improve verifier support of arena pointers (Emil Tsalapatis)
- Improve verifier tracking of register bounds in min/max and tnum
domains (Harishankar Vishwanathan, Paul Chaignon, Hao Sun)
- Further extend support for implicit arguments in the verifier (Ihor
Solodrai)
- Add support for nop,nop5 instruction combo for USDT probes in libbpf
(Jiri Olsa)
- Support merging multiple module BTFs (Josef Bacik)
- Extend applicability of bpf_kptr_xchg (Kaitao Cheng)
- Retire rcu_trace_implies_rcu_gp() (Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi)
- Support variable offset context access for 'syscall' programs (Kumar
Kartikeya Dwivedi)
- Migrate bpf_task_work and dynptr to kmalloc_nolock() (Mykyta
Yatsenko)
- Fix UAF in in open-coded task_vma iterator (Puranjay Mohan)

MAINTAINERS file entries (covering timers, IRQ, locking, scheduling, perf,
x86, and others) so that contributors and tooling can know where to
look
— Enable interrupt remapping in defconfig, which is an architectural
requirement for x2APIC to function correctly on bare metal. Without it,
x2APIC was effectively enabled but non-functional.
— Ensure that drivers which register custom restart handlers (such as those
needed for SoC-based x86 devices like Intel Lightning Mountain) are actually
invoked during reboot, bringing x86 in line with how other architectures
handle this.

Pull misc x86 updates from Borislav Petkov:
- Reference the tip tree maintainer handbook directly from the relevant
MAINTAINERS file entries (covering timers, IRQ, locking, scheduling,
perf, x86, and others) so that contributors and tooling can know
where to look
- Enable interrupt remapping in defconfig, which is an architectural
requirement for x2APIC to function correctly on bare metal. Without
it, x2APIC was effectively enabled but non-functional.
- Ensure that drivers which register custom restart handlers (such as
those needed for SoC-based x86 devices like Intel Lightning Mountain)
are actually invoked during reboot, bringing x86 in line with how
other architectures handle this.
- Cleanups

- A rework of the hrtimer subsystem to reduce the overhead for frequently
armed timers, especially the hrtick scheduler timer.
- Better timer locality decision
- Simplification of the evaluation of the first expiry time by
keeping track of the neighbor timers in the RB-tree by providing a
RB-tree variant with neighbor links. That avoids walking the
RB-tree on removal to find the next expiry time, but even more
important allows to quickly evaluate whether a timer which is
rearmed changes the position in the RB-tree with the modified
expiry time or not. If not, the dequeue/enqueue sequence which both
can end up in rebalancing can be completely avoided.
- Deferred reprogramming of the underlying clock event device. This
optimizes for the situation where a hrtimer callback sets the need
resched bit. In that case the code attempts to defer the
re-programming of the clock event device up to the point where the
scheduler has picked the next task and has the next hrtick timer
armed. In case that there is no immediate reschedule or soft
interrupts have to be handled before reaching the reschedule point
in the interrupt entry code the clock event is reprogrammed in one
of those code paths to prevent that the timer becomes stale.
- Support for clocksource coupled clockevents
The TSC deadline timer is coupled to the TSC. The next event is
programmed in TSC time. Currently this is done by converting the
CLOCK_MONOTONIC based expiry value into a relative timeout,
converting it into TSC ticks, reading the TSC adding the delta
ticks and writing the deadline MSR.
As the timekeeping core has the conversion factors for the TSC
already, the whole back and forth conversion can be completely
avoided. The timekeeping core calculates the reverse conversion
factors from nanoseconds to TSC ticks and utilizes the base
timestamps of TSC and CLOCK_MONOTONIC which are updated once per
tick. This allows a direct conversion into the TSC deadline value
without reading the time and as a bonus keeps the deadline
conversion in sync with the TSC conversion factors, which are
updated by adjtimex() on systems with NTP/PTP enabled.
- Allow inlining of the clocksource read and clockevent write
functions when they are tiny enough, e.g. on x86 RDTSC and WRMSR.
With all those enhancements in place a hrtick enabled scheduler
provides the same performance as without hrtick. But also other hrtimer
users obviously benefit from these optimizations.
- Robustness improvements and cleanups of historical sins in the hrtimer
and timekeeping code.
- Rewrite of the clocksource watchdog.
The clocksource watchdog code has over time reached the state of an
impenetrable maze of duct tape and staples. The original design, which was
made in the context of systems far smaller than today, is based on the
assumption that the to be monitored clocksource (TSC) can be trivially
compared against a known to be stable clocksource (HPET/ACPI-PM timer).
Over the years this rather naive approach turned out to have major
flaws. Long delays between the watchdog invocations can cause wrap
arounds of the reference clocksource. The access to the reference
clocksource degrades on large multi-sockets systems dure to
interconnect congestion. This has been addressed with various
heuristics which degraded the accuracy of the watchdog to the point
that it fails to detect actual TSC problems on older hardware which
exposes slow inter CPU drifts due to firmware manipulating the TSC to
hide SMI time.
The rewrite addresses this by:
- Restricting the validation against the reference clocksource to the
boot CPU which is usually closest to the legacy block which
contains the reference clocksource (HPET/ACPI-PM).
- Do a round robin validation betwen the boot CPU and the other CPUs
based only on the TSC with an algorithm similar to the TSC
synchronization code during CPU hotplug.
- Being more leniant versus remote timeouts
- The usual tiny fixes, cleanups and enhancements all over the place

flaws. Long delays between the watchdog invocations can cause wrap
arounds of the reference clocksource. The access to the reference
clocksource degrades on large multi-sockets systems dure to
interconnect congestion. This has been addressed with various
heuristics which degraded the accuracy of the watchdog to the point
that it fails to detect actual TSC problems on older hardware which
exposes slow inter CPU drifts due to firmware manipulating the TSC to
hide SMI time.
The rewrite addresses this by:
- Restricting the validation against the reference clocksource to
the boot CPU which is usually closest to the legacy block which
contains the reference clocksource (HPET/ACPI-PM).
- Do a round robin validation betwen the boot CPU and the other
CPUs based only on the TSC with an algorithm similar to the TSC
synchronization code during CPU hotplug.
- Being more leniant versus remote timeouts
- The usual tiny fixes, cleanups and enhancements all over the place

Pull gpio updates from Bartosz Golaszewski:
"For this merge window we have two new drivers: support for
GPIO-signalled ACPI events on Intel platforms and a generic
GPIO-over-pinctrl driver using the ARM SCMI protocol for
controlling pins.
Several things have been reworked in GPIO core: we unduplicated GPIO
hog handling, reduced the number of SRCU locks and dereferences,
improved support for software-node-based lookup and removed more
legacy code after converting remaining users to modern alternatives.
There's also a number of driver reworks and refactoring, documentation
updates, some bug-fixes and new tests.

- defer probe on software node lookups when the remote software node
exists but has not been registered as a firmware node yet
- unify GPIO hog handling by moving code duplicated in OF and ACPI

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"Once again, cpufreq is the most active development area, mostly
because of the new feature additions and documentation updates in the
amd-pstate driver, but there are also changes in the cpufreq core
related to boost support and other assorted updates elsewhere.
Next up are power capping changes due to the major cleanup of the
Intel RAPL driver.
On the cpuidle front, a new C-states table for Intel Panther Lake is
added to the intel_idle driver, the stopped tick handling in the menu
and teo governors is updated, and there are a couple of cleanups.
Apart from the above, support for Tegra114 is added to devfreq and
there are assorted cleanups of that code, there are also two updates
of the operating performance points (OPP) library, two minor updates
related to hibernation, and cpupower utility man pages updates and
cleanups.

Pull ACPI support updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"These include an update of the CMOS RTC driver and the related ACPI
and x86 code that, among other things, switches it over to using the
platform device interface for device binding on x86 instead of the PNP
device driver interface (which allows the code in question to be
simplified quite a bit), a major update of the ACPI Time and Alarm
Device (TAD) driver adding an RTC class device interface to it, and
updates of core ACPI drivers that remove some unnecessary and not
really useful code from them.
Apart from that, two drivers are converted to using the platform
driver interface for device binding instead of the ACPI driver one,
which is slated for removal, support for the Performance Limited
register is added to the ACPI CPPC library and there are some
janitorial updates of it and the related cpufreq CPPC driver, the ACPI
processor driver is fixed and cleaned up, and NVIDIA vendor CPER
record handler is added to the APEI GHES code.
Also, the interface for obtaining a CPU UID from ACPI is consolidated
across architectures and used for fixing a problem with the PCI TPH
Steering Tag on ARM64, there are two updates related to ACPICA, a
minor ACPI OS Services Layer (OSL) update, and a few assorted updates
related to ACPI tables parsing.
Specifics:
- Update maintainers information regarding ACPICA (Rafael Wysocki)

- Migrate more hash algorithms from the traditional crypto subsystem
to lib/crypto/.
Like the algorithms migrated earlier (e.g. SHA-*), this simplifies
the implementations, improves performance, enables further
simplifications in calling code, and solves various other issues:
- AES CBC-based MACs (AES-CMAC, AES-XCBC-MAC, and AES-CBC-MAC)
- Support these algorithms in lib/crypto/ using the AES
library and the existing arm64 assembly code
- Reimplement the traditional crypto API's "cmac(aes)",
"xcbc(aes)", and "cbcmac(aes)" on top of the library
- Convert mac80211 to use the AES-CMAC library. Note: several
other subsystems can use it too and will be converted later
- Drop the broken, nonstandard, and likely unused support for
"xcbc(aes)" with key lengths other than 128 bits
- Enable optimizations by default
- GHASH
- Migrate the standalone GHASH code into lib/crypto/
- Integrate the GHASH code more closely with the very similar
POLYVAL code, and improve the generic GHASH implementation
to resist cache-timing attacks and use much less memory
- Reimplement the AES-GCM library and the "gcm" crypto_aead
template on top of the GHASH library. Remove "ghash" from
the crypto_shash API, as it's no longer needed
- Enable optimizations by default
- SM3
- Migrate the kernel's existing SM3 code into lib/crypto/, and
reimplement the traditional crypto API's "sm3" on top of it
- I don't recommend using SM3, but this cleanup is worthwhile
to organize the code the same way as other algorithms
- Testing improvements
- Add a KUnit test suite for each of the new library APIs
- Migrate the existing ChaCha20Poly1305 test to KUnit
- Make the KUnit all_tests.config enable all crypto library tests
- Move the test kconfig options to the Runtime Testing menu
- Other updates to arch-optimized crypto code
- Optimize SHA-256 for Zhaoxin CPUs using the Padlock Hash Engine
- Remove some MD5 implementations that are no longer worth keeping
- Drop big endian and voluntary preemption support from the arm64
code, as those configurations are no longer supported on arm64
- Make jitterentropy and samples/tsm-mr use the crypto library APIs
Note: the overall diffstat is neutral, but when the test code is
excluded it is significantly negative:

Pull crypto library updates from Eric Biggers:
- Migrate more hash algorithms from the traditional crypto subsystem to
lib/crypto/
Like the algorithms migrated earlier (e.g. SHA-*), this simplifies
the implementations, improves performance, enables further
simplifications in calling code, and solves various other issues:
- AES CBC-based MACs (AES-CMAC, AES-XCBC-MAC, and AES-CBC-MAC)
- Support these algorithms in lib/crypto/ using the AES library
and the existing arm64 assembly code
- Reimplement the traditional crypto API's "cmac(aes)",
"xcbc(aes)", and "cbcmac(aes)" on top of the library
- Convert mac80211 to use the AES-CMAC library. Note: several
other subsystems can use it too and will be converted later
- Drop the broken, nonstandard, and likely unused support for
"xcbc(aes)" with key lengths other than 128 bits
- Enable optimizations by default
- GHASH
- Migrate the standalone GHASH code into lib/crypto/
- Integrate the GHASH code more closely with the very similar
POLYVAL code, and improve the generic GHASH implementation to
resist cache-timing attacks and use much less memory
- Reimplement the AES-GCM library and the "gcm" crypto_aead
template on top of the GHASH library. Remove "ghash" from the
crypto_shash API, as it's no longer needed
- Enable optimizations by default
- SM3
- Migrate the kernel's existing SM3 code into lib/crypto/, and
reimplement the traditional crypto API's "sm3" on top of it
- I don't recommend using SM3, but this cleanup is worthwhile
to organize the code the same way as other algorithms
- Testing improvements:
- Add a KUnit test suite for each of the new library APIs
- Migrate the existing ChaCha20Poly1305 test to KUnit
- Make the KUnit all_tests.config enable all crypto library tests
- Move the test kconfig options to the Runtime Testing menu
- Other updates to arch-optimized crypto code:
- Optimize SHA-256 for Zhaoxin CPUs using the Padlock Hash Engine
- Remove some MD5 implementations that are no longer worth keeping
- Drop big endian and voluntary preemption support from the arm64
code, as those configurations are no longer supported on arm64
- Make jitterentropy and samples/tsm-mr use the crypto library APIs

Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Bump the minimum Rust version to 1.85.0 (and 'bindgen' to 0.71.1).
As proposed in LPC 2025 and the Maintainers Summit [1], we are going
to follow Debian Stable's Rust versions as our minimum versions.
Debian Trixie was released on 2025-08-09 with a Rust 1.85.0 and
'bindgen' 0.71.1 toolchain, which is a fair amount of time for e.g.
kernel developers to upgrade.
Other major distributions support a Rust version that is high enough
as well, including:
+ Arch Linux.
+ Fedora Linux.
+ Gentoo Linux.
+ Nix.
+ openSUSE Slowroll and openSUSE Tumbleweed.
+ Ubuntu 25.10 and 26.04 LTS. In addition, 24.04 LTS using
their versioned packages.
The merged patch series comes with the associated cleanups and
simplifications treewide that can be performed thanks to both bumps,
as well as documentation updates.
In addition, start using 'bindgen''s '--with-attribute-custom-enum'
feature to set the 'cfi_encoding' attribute for the 'lru_status' enum
used in Binder.
Link: https://lwn.net/Articles/1050174/ [1]
- Add experimental Kconfig option ('CONFIG_RUST_INLINE_HELPERS') that
inlines C helpers into Rust.
Essentially, it performs a step similar to LTO, but just for the
helpers, i.e. very local and fast.
It relies on 'llvm-link' and its '--internalize' flag, and requires
a compatible LLVM between Clang and 'rustc' (i.e. same major version,
'CONFIG_RUSTC_CLANG_LLVM_COMPATIBLE'). It is only enabled for two
architectures for now.
The result is a measurable speedup in different workloads that
different users have tested. For instance, for the null block driver,
it amounts to a 2%.
- Support global per-version flags.
While we already have per-version flags in many places, we didn't
have a place to set global ones that depend on the compiler version,
i.e. in 'rust_common_flags', which sometimes is needed to e.g. tweak
the lints set per version.
Use that to allow the 'clippy::precedence' lint for Rust < 1.86.0,
since it had a change in behavior.
- Support overriding the crate name and apply it to Rust Binder, which
wanted the module to be called 'rust_binder'.
- Add the remaining '__rust_helper' annotations (started in the
previous cycle).
'kernel' crate:
- Introduce the 'const_assert!' macro: a more powerful version of
'static_assert!' that can refer to generics inside functions or
implementation bodies, e.g.:
fn f<const N: usize>() {
const_assert!(N > 1);
}
fn g<T>() {
const_assert!(size_of::<T>() > 0, "T cannot be ZST");
}
In addition, reorganize our set of build-time assertion macros
('{build,const,static_assert}!') to live in the 'build_assert'
module.
Finally, improve the docs as well to clarify how these are different
from one another and how to pick the right one to use, and their
equivalence (if any) to the existing C ones for extra clarity.
- 'sizes' module: add 'SizeConstants' trait.
This gives us typed 'SZ_*' constants (avoiding casts) for use in
device address spaces where the address width depends on the hardware
(e.g. 32-bit MMIO windows, 64-bit GPU framebuffers, etc.), e.g.:
let gpu_heap = 14 * u64::SZ_1M;
let mmio_window = u32::SZ_16M;
- 'clk' module: implement 'Send' and 'Sync' for 'Clk' and thus simplify
the users in Tyr and PWM.
- 'ptr' module: add 'const_align_up'.
- 'str' module: improve the documentation of the 'c_str!' macro to
explain that one should only use it for non-literal cases (for the
other case we instead use C string literals, e.g. 'c"abc"').
- Disallow the use of 'CStr::{as_ptr,from_ptr}' and clean one such use
in the 'task' module.
- 'sync' module: finish the move of 'ARef' and 'AlwaysRefCounted'
outside of the 'types' module, i.e. update the last remaining
instances and finally remove the re-exports.
- 'error' module: clarify that 'from_err_ptr' can return 'Ok(NULL)',
including runtime-tested examples.
The intention is to hopefully prevent UB that assumes the result of
the function is not 'NULL' if successful. This originated from a case
of UB I noticed in 'regulator' that created a 'NonNull' on it.
Timekeeping:
- Expand the example section in the 'HrTimer' documentation.
- Mark the 'ClockSource' trait as unsafe to ensure valid values for
'ktime_get()'.
- Add 'Delta::from_nanos()'.
'pin-init' crate:
- Replace the 'Zeroable' impls for 'Option<NonZero*>' with impls of
'ZeroableOption' for 'NonZero*'.
- Improve feature gate handling for unstable features.
- Declutter the documentation of implementations of 'Zeroable' for
tuples.
- Replace uses of 'addr_of[_mut]!' with '&raw [mut]'.
rust-analyzer:
- Add type annotations to 'generate_rust_analyzer.py'.
- Add support for scripts written in Rust ('generate_rust_target.rs',
'rustdoc_test_builder.rs', 'rustdoc_test_gen.rs').
- Refactor 'generate_rust_analyzer.py' to explicitly identify host and
target crates, improve readability, and reduce duplication.
And some other fixes, cleanups and improvements.

This adds an MDIO driver for PIC64-HPSC/HX. The hardware supports C22
and C45 but only C22 is implemented in this commit.
This MDIO hardware is based on a Microsemi design supported in Linux by
mdio-mscc-miim.c. However, The register interface is completely
different with pic64hpsc, hence the need for a separate driver.
The documentation recommends an input clock of 156.25MHz and a prescaler
of 39, which yields an MDIO clock of 1.95MHz.
The hardware supports an interrupt pin or a "TRIGGER" bit that can be
polled to signal transaction completion. This commit uses polling.
This was tested on Microchip HB1301 evalkit with a VSC8574 and a
VSC8541.

A couple of changes here, one update to MAINTAINERS for the AMD
controller and a chnage from Pei Xiao which in spite of the changelog is
actually a fix - previously the zynq-qspi driver leaked a clock enable
for every flash operation it did which isn't good, these extra enables
were removed when doing the enable cleanup which are probably a good
idea anyway.

Pull spi fixes from Mark Brown:
"A couple of changes here, one update to MAINTAINERS for the AMD
controller and a chnage from Pei Xiao which in spite of the changelog
is actually a fix - previously the zynq-qspi driver leaked a clock
enable for every flash operation it did which isn't good, these extra
enables were removed when doing the enable cleanup which are probably
a good idea anyway"

Merge tag 'rust-timekeeping-for-v7.1' of https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux into rust-next
Pull timekeeping updates from Andreas Hindborg:
- Expand the example section in the 'HrTimer' documentation.
- Mark the 'ClockSource' trait as unsafe to ensure valid values for
'ktime_get()'.
- Add 'Delta::from_nanos()'.
This is a back merge since the pull request has a newer base -- we will
avoid that in the future.
And, given it is a back merge, it happens to resolve the "subtle" conflict
around '--remap-path-{prefix,scope}' that I discussed in linux-next [1],
plus a few other common conflicts. The result matches what we did for
next-20260407.
The actual diffstat (i.e. using a temporary merge of upstream first) is:

The x86 maintainers handle the resctrl filesystem and x86 architectural
resctrl code. Even so, the x86 maintainers are not part of the resctrl
section and not returned when scripts/get_maintainer.pl is run on resctrl
filesystem code. With patches flowing via x86 maintainers resctrl should
also ensure it follows the tip rules.
Add the x86 maintainer alias, x86@kernel.org, to the resctrl section to
ensure x86 maintainers are included in associated resctrl submissions.
Add a reference to the tip tree handbook to make it clear which rules
resctrl follows.

Add support for decoding NVIDIA-specific CPER sections delivered via
the APEI GHES vendor record notifier chain. NVIDIA hardware generates
vendor-specific CPER sections containing error signatures and diagnostic
register dumps. This implementation registers a notifier_block with the
GHES vendor record notifier and decodes these sections, printing error
details via dev_info().
The driver binds to ACPI device NVDA2012, present on NVIDIA server
platforms. The NVIDIA CPER section contains a fixed header with error
metadata (signature, error type, severity, socket) followed by
variable-length register address-value pairs for hardware diagnostics.
This work is based on libcper [1].
Example output:
nvidia-ghes NVDA2012:00: NVIDIA CPER section, error_data_length: 544
nvidia-ghes NVDA2012:00: signature: CMET-INFO

Software nodes depend on kernel_kobj which is initialized pretty late
into the boot process - as a core_initcall(). Ahead of moving the
software node initialization to driver_init() we must first make
kernel_kobj available before it.
Make ksysfs_init() visible in a new header - ksysfs.h - and call it in
do_basic_setup() right before driver_init().
