Pull staging driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of staging driver updates for 7.2-rc1.

  Nothing major in here, just constant grind of tiny cleanups and coding
  style fixes and wrapper removals. Overall more code was removed than
  added, always a nice sign that things are progressing forward.

  Changes outside of drivers/staging/ was due to the octeon driver
  changes, which for some reason also lives partially in the mips
  subsystem, someday that all will be untangled and cleaned up, or just
  removed entirely, it's hard to tell which is going to be its fate.

  Other than octeon driver cleanups, in here are the usual:

   - rtl8723bs driver reworking and cleanups, being the bulk of this
     merge window given all of the issues and wrappers involved in that
     beast of a driver

   - most driver cleanups

   - sm750fb driver cleanups (which might be done, as this really should
     be moved to the drm layer one of these days...)

   - other tiny staging driver cleanups and fixes

  All of these have been in linux-next for many weeks with no reported
  issues"

<content type='text'>
Currently, ath79 SoCs use the default ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN value of 128
bytes defined in mach-generic. This is excessive for these platforms
and leads to significant memory waste in kmalloc.

Override ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN to use L1_CACHE_BYTES, which is 32 bytes for
ath79 SoCs.

Pull driver core updates from Danilo Krummrich:
 "Deferred probe:
   - Fix race where deferred probe timeout work could be permanently
     canceled by using mod_delayed_work()
   - Fix missing jiffies conversion in deferred_probe_extend_timeout()
   - Guard timeout extension with delayed_work_pending() to prevent
     premature firing
   - Use system_percpu_wq instead of the deprecated system_wq
   - Update deferred_probe_timeout documentation

  device:
   - Replace direct struct device bitfield access (can_match, dma_iommu,
     dma_skip_sync, dma_ops_bypass, state_synced, dma_coherent,
     of_node_reused, offline, offline_disabled) with flag-based
     accessors using bit operations
   - Reject devices with unregistered buses
   - Delete unused DEVICE_ATTR_PREALLOC()
   - Add low-level device attribute macros with const show/store
     callbacks, allowing device attributes to reside in read-only memory
   - Move core device attributes to read-only memory
   - Constify group array pointers in driver_add_groups() /
     driver_remove_groups(), struct bus_type, and struct device_driver

  device property:
   - Fix fwnode reference leak in fwnode_graph_get_endpoint_by_id()
   - Initialize all fields of fwnode_handle in fwnode_init()
   - Provide swnode_get()/swnode_put() wrappers around kobject_get/put()
   - Allow passing struct software_node_ref_args pointers directly to
     PROPERTY_ENTRY_REF()

  driver_override:
   - Migrate amba, cdx, vmbus, and rpmsg to the generic driver_override
     infrastructure, fixing a UAF from unsynchronized access to
     driver_override in bus match() callbacks
   - Remove the now-unused driver_set_override()

  firmware loader:
   - Fix recursive lock deadlock in device_cache_fw_images() when async
     work falls back to synchronous execution
   - Fix device reference leak in firmware_upload_register()

  platform:
   - Pass KBUILD_MODNAME through the platform driver registration macro
     to create module symlinks in sysfs for built-in drivers; move
     module_kset initialization to a pure_initcall and tegra cbb
     registration to core_initcall to ensure correct ordering
   - Pass THIS_MODULE implicitly through a coresight_init_driver() macro

  sysfs:
   - Upgrade OOB write detection in sysfs_kf_seq_show() from printk to
     WARN
   - Add return value clamping to sysfs_kf_read()

  Rust:
   - ACPI:

     Fix missing match data for PRP0001 by exporting
     acpi_of_match_device()

   - Auxiliary:

     Replace drvdata() with dedicated registration data on
     auxiliary_device. drvdata() exposed the driver's bus device private
     data beyond the driver's own scope, creating ordering constraints
     and forcing the data to outlive all registrations that access it.
     Registration data is instead scoped structurally to the
     Registration object, making lifecycle ordering enforced by
     construction rather than convention.

   - Rust-native device driver lifetimes (HRT):

     Allow Rust device drivers to carry a lifetime parameter on their
     bus device private data, tied to the device binding scope -- the
     interval during which a bus device is bound to a driver. Device
     resources like pci::Bar&lt;'a&gt; and IoMem&lt;'a&gt; can be stored directly in
     the driver's bus device private data with a lifetime bounded by the
     binding scope, so the compiler enforces at build time that they do
     not outlive the binding. This removes Devres indirection from every
     access site and eliminates try_access() failure paths in
     destructors.

     Bus driver traits use a Generic Associated Type (GAT) Data&lt;'bound&gt;
     to introduce the lifetime on the private data, rather than
     parameterizing the Driver trait itself. Auxiliary registration
     data, where the lifetime is not introduced by a trait callback but
     must be threaded through Registration, uses the ForLt trait (a
     type-level abstraction for types generic over a lifetime).

  Misc:
   - Fix DT overlayed devices not probing by reverting the broken
     treewide overlay fix and re-running fw_devlink consumer pickup when
     an overlay is applied to a bound device
   - Use root_device_register() for faux bus root device; add sanity
     check for failed bus init
   - Fix dev_has_sync_state() data race with READ_ONCE() and move it to
     base.h
   - Avoid spurious device_links warning when removing a device while
     its supplier is unbinding
   - Switch ISA bus to dynamic root device
   - Fix suspicious RCU usage in kernfs_put()
   - Remove devcoredump exit callback
   - Constify devfreq_event_class"

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Features:

   - Reduce pipe-&gt;mutex contention by pre-allocating pages outside the
     lock in anon_pipe_write().

     anon_pipe_write() called alloc_page() once per page while holding
     pipe-&gt;mutex. The allocation can sleep doing direct reclaim and runs
     memcg charging, which extends the critical section and stalls any
     concurrent reader on the same mutex. Now up to 8 pages are
     pre-allocated before the mutex is taken, leftovers are recycled
     into the per-pipe tmp_page[] cache before unlock, and any remainder
     is released after unlock, keeping the allocator out of the critical
     section on both sides. On a writers x readers sweep with 64KB
     writes against a 1 MB pipe throughput improves 6-28% and average
     write latency drops 5-22%; under memory pressure - when the cost of
     holding the mutex across reclaim is highest - throughput improves
     21-48% and latency drops 17-33%. The microbenchmark is added to
     selftests.

   - uaccess/sockptr: fix the ignored_trailing logic in
     copy_struct_to_user() to behave as documented and the usize check
     in copy_struct_from_sockptr() for user pointers, and add
     copy_struct_{from,to}_bounce_buffer() and copy_struct_to_sockptr()
     helpers for upcoming users (IPPROTO_SMBDIRECT, IPPROTO_QUIC).

   - bpf: add a sleepable bpf_real_inode() kfunc that resolves the real
     inode backing a dentry via d_real_inode(). On overlayfs the inode
     attached to the dentry doesn't carry the underlying device
     information; this is used by the filesystem restriction BPF program
     that was merged into systemd.

   - docs: add guidelines for submitting new filesystems, motivated by
     the maintenance burden abandoned and untestable filesystems impose
     on VFS developers, blocking infrastructure work like folio
     conversions and iomap migration.

  Fixes:

   - libfs: set SB_I_NOEXEC and SB_I_NODEV by default in init_pseudo()
     and drop the now-redundant assignments in callers. This began as a
     one-line dma-buf fix for a path_noexec() warning; a pseudo
     filesystem has no reason not to set SB_I_NOEXEC. All init_pseudo()
     callers were audited: the only visible effect is on dma-buf where
     SB_I_NOEXEC silences the warning.

   - Handle set_blocksize() failures in legacy filesystems (bfs, hpfs,
     qnx4, jfs, befs, affs, isofs, minix, ntfs3, omfs). Mounting a
     device with a sector size &gt; PAGE_SIZE crashed roughly half of them;
     the rest had the same missing error handling pattern. Plus a
     follow-up releasing the superblock buffer_head when setting the
     minix v3 block size fails.

   - mount: honour SB_NOUSER in the new mount API.

   - fs/fcntl: fix a SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order in fasync signaling by
     switching the process-group paths of send_sigio() and send_sigurg()
     from read_lock(&amp;tasklist_lock) to RCU, matching the single-PID
     path.

   - vfs: add an FS_USERNS_DELEGATABLE flag and set it for NFS, fixing
     delegated NFS mounts (fsopen() in a container with the mount
     performed by a privileged daemon) that broke when non-init
     s_user_ns was tied to FS_USERNS_MOUNT.

   - selftests/namespaces: fix a hang in nsid_test where an unreaped
     grandchild kept the TAP pipe write-end open, a waitpid(-1) race in
     listns_efault_test, and a false FAIL on kernels without listns()
     where the tests should SKIP.

   - filelock: fix the break_lease() stub signature for
     CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING=n.

   - init/initramfs_test: wait for the async initramfs unpacking before
     running; the test and do_populate_rootfs() share the parser state.

   - fs/coredump: reduce redundant log noise in
     validate_coredump_safety().

   - iomap: pass the correct length to fserror_report_io() in
     __iomap_write_begin().

   - backing-file: fix the backing_file_open() kerneldoc.

  Cleanups:

   - initramfs: refactor the cpio hex header parsing to use hex2bin()
     instead of the hand-rolled simple_strntoul() which is reverted, and
     extend the initramfs KUnit tests to cover header fields with 0x
     prefixes.

   - Replace __get_free_pages() and friends with kmalloc()/kzalloc()
     across quota, proc, ocfs2/dlm, nilfs2, nfs, nfsd, libfs, jfs, jbd2,
     isofs, fuse, select, namespace, configfs, binfmt_misc, bfs, and the
     do_mounts init code - part of the larger work of replacing page
     allocator calls with kmalloc().

   - Use clear_and_wake_up_bit() in unlock_buffer() and
     journal_end_buffer_io_sync() instead of open-coding the sequence.

   - Drop unused VFS exports: unexport drop_super_exclusive(), remove
     start_removing_user_path_at(), and fold __start_removing_path()
     into start_removing_path().

   - fs/read_write: narrow the __kernel_write() export with
     EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_MODULES().

   - vfs: uapi: retire octal and hex constants in favor of (1 &lt;&lt; n) for
     the O_ flags. Finding a free bit for a new flag across the
     architectures was needlessly hard with the mixed bases.

   - dcache: add extra sanity checks of dead dentries in dentry_free()
     via a new DENTRY_WARN_ONCE() that also prints d_flags.

   - iov_iter: use kmemdup_array() in dup_iter() to harden the
     allocation against multiplication overflow.

   - fs/pipe: write to -&gt;poll_usage only once.

   - vfs: remove an always-taken if-branch in find_next_fd().

   - dcache: use kmalloc_flex() for struct external_name in __d_alloc().

   - namei: use QSTR() instead of QSTR_INIT() in path_pts().

   - sync_file_range: delete dead S_ISLNK code.

   - Comment fixes: retire a stale comment in fget_task_next() and fix
     assorted spelling mistakes"

Pull openat2 updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Features:

   - Add O_EMPTYPATH to openat(2)/openat2(2). To get an operable file
     descriptor from an O_PATH file descriptor it is possible to use
     openat(fd, ".", O_DIRECTORY) for directories, but other file types
     require going through open("/proc/&lt;pid&gt;/fd/&lt;nr&gt;") and thus depend
     on a functioning procfs.

     With O_EMPTYPATH an empty path string is accepted and LOOKUP_EMPTY
     is set at path resolution time, allowing to reopen the file behind
     the file descriptor directly. Selftests are included.

   - Add an OPENAT2_REGULAR flag for openat2(2) which refuses to open
     anything but regular files with the new EFTYPE error code.

     This implements the "ability to only open regular files" feature
     requested by userspace via uapi-group.org and protects services
     from being redirected to fifos, device nodes, and friends.

     All atomic_open implementations were audited for OPENAT2_REGULAR
     handling. Explicit checks were added to ceph, gfs2, nfs (v4), and
     cifs/smb - these are the filesystems whose atomic_open can
     encounter an existing non-regular file and would otherwise call
     finish_open() on it or return a misleading error code.

     The remaining implementations (9p, fuse, vboxsf, nfs v2/v3) only
     call finish_open() on freshly created files and use
     finish_no_open() for lookup hits, letting the VFS catch non-regular
     files via the do_open() safety net.

  Cleanups:

   - Migrate the openat2 selftests to the kselftest harness and move
     them under selftests/filesystems/. The tests were written in the
     early days of selftests' TAP support and the modern kselftest
     harness is much easier to follow and maintain. The contents of the
     tests are unchanged and the new emptypath tests are ported on top.

   - Make the LAST_XXX last-type constants private to fs/namei.c. The
     only user outside of fs/namei.c was ksmbd which only needs to know
     whether the last component is a regular one, so
     vfs_path_parent_lookup() now performs the LAST_NORM check
     internally. The ints are replaced with a dedicated enum last_type"

<title>vfs: uapi: retire octal and hex numbers in favor of (1 &lt;&lt; n) for O_ flags</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0da79c259ad0554b36761a7135d4f92eb7c46263</id>
<content type='text'>
A recent build failure[1] exposed the diffculty of working with the
current octal and hex definitions of O_ flags when trying to find a gap
for a new flag. This difficulty is compounded by the fact that O_ flags
may have architectural specific values.

Replace the hex/octal #defines, which are hard to parse when looking for
free bits, with explicit bit shifts like (1 &lt;&lt; 11). Also, add comments
that identify which architectures redefine some of the seemingly free
("cursed") bits in uapi/asm-generic/fcntl.h. These should not be used to
define new O_ flags (for now, at least).

The translastion was done with Claude Opus 4.8, and verified with a
(non-AI) gawk script. The accounting of which architectures claim
which bit-gaps in uapi/asm-generic/fcntl.h is also done by hand.

<title>uaccess: unify inline vs outline copy_{from,to}_user() selection</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c02be2ad2b88c67c5d7c06b6aa7083b5b40e1077</id>
<content type='text'>
The kernel allows arches to select between inline and outline
implementations of the copy_{from,to}_user() by defining individual
INLINE_COPY_FROM_USER and INLINE_COPY_TO_USER, correspondingly.  However,
all arches enable or disable them always together.

Without the real use-case for one helper being inlined while the other
outlined, having independent controls is excessive and error prone.

Switch the codebase to the single unified INLINE_COPY_USER control.
