ptp: ptp_vmclock: add 'VMCLOCK' to ACPI device match

2026-03-04T12:20:32+00:00

[ Upstream commit ed4d23ed469ca14d47670c0384f6ae6c4ff060a5 ] As we finalised the spec, we spotted that vmgenid actually says that the _HID is supposed to be hypervisor-specific. Although in the 13 years since the original vmgenid doc was published, nobody seems to have cared about using _HID to distinguish between implementations on different hypervisors, and we only ever use the _CID. For consistency, match the _CID of "VMCLOCK" too.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "Core & protocols: - Replace busylock at the Tx queuing layer with a lockless list. Resulting in a 300% (4x) improvement on heavy TX workloads, sending twice the number of packets per second, for half the cpu cycles. - Allow constantly busy flows to migrate to a more suitable CPU/NIC queue. Normally we perform queue re-selection when flow comes out of idle, but under extreme circumstances the flows may be constantly busy. Add sysctl to allow periodic rehashing even if it'd risk packet reordering. - Optimize the NAPI skb cache, make it larger, use it in more paths. - Attempt returning Tx skbs to the originating CPU (like we already did for Rx skbs). - Various data structure layout and prefetch optimizations from Eric. - Remove ktime_get() from the recvmsg() fast path, ktime_get() is sadly quite expensive on recent AMD machines. - Extend threaded NAPI polling to allow the kthread busy poll for packets. - Make MPTCP use Rx backlog processing. This lowers the lock pressure, improving the Rx performance. - Support memcg accounting of MPTCP socket memory. - Allow admin to opt sockets out of global protocol memory accounting (using a sysctl or BPF-based policy). The global limits are a poor fit for modern container workloads, where limits are imposed using cgroups. - Improve heuristics for when to kick off AF_UNIX garbage collection. - Allow users to control TCP SACK compression, and default to 33% of RTT. - Add tcp_rcvbuf_low_rtt sysctl to let datacenter users avoid unnecessarily aggressive rcvbuf growth and overshot when the connection RTT is low. - Preserve skb metadata space across skb_push / skb_pull operations. - Support for IPIP encapsulation in the nftables flowtable offload. - Support appending IP interface information to ICMP messages (RFC 5837). - Support setting max record size in TLS (RFC 8449). - Remove taking rtnl_lock from RTM_GETNEIGHTBL and RTM_SETNEIGHTBL. - Use a dedicated lock (and RCU) in MPLS, instead of rtnl_lock. - Let users configure the number of write buffers in SMC. - Add new struct sockaddr_unsized for sockaddr of unknown length, from Kees. - Some conversions away from the crypto_ahash API, from Eric Biggers. - Some preparations for slimming down struct page. - YAML Netlink protocol spec for WireGuard. - Add a tool on top of YAML Netlink specs/lib for reporting commonly computed derived statistics and summarized system state. Driver API: - Add CAN XL support to the CAN Netlink interface. - Add uAPI for reporting PHY Mean Square Error (MSE) diagnostics, as defined by the OPEN Alliance's "Advanced diagnostic features for 100BASE-T1 automotive Ethernet PHYs" specification. - Add DPLL phase-adjust-gran pin attribute (and implement it in zl3073x). - Refactor xfrm_input lock to reduce contention when NIC offloads IPsec and performs RSS. - Add info to devlink params whether the current setting is the default or a user override. Allow resetting back to default. - Add standard device stats for PSP crypto offload. - Leverage DSA frame broadcast to implement simple HSR frame duplication for a lot of switches without dedicated HSR offload. - Add uAPI defines for 1.6Tbps link modes. Device drivers: - Add Motorcomm YT921x gigabit Ethernet switch support. - Add MUCSE driver for N500/N210 1GbE NIC series. - Convert drivers to support dedicated ops for timestamping control, and away from the direct IOCTL handling. While at it support GET operations for PHY timestamping. - Add (and convert most drivers to) a dedicated ethtool callback for reading the Rx ring count. - Significant refactoring efforts in the STMMAC driver, which supports Synopsys turn-key MAC IP integrated into a ton of SoCs. -

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek: - Allow creaing nbcon console drivers with an unsafe write_atomic() callback that can only be called by the final nbcon_atomic_flush_unsafe(). Otherwise, the driver would rely on the kthread. It is going to be used as the-best-effort approach for an experimental nbcon netconsole driver, see https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251121-nbcon-v1-2-503d17b2b4af@debian.org Note that a safe .write_atomic() callback is supposed to work in NMI context. But some networking drivers are not safe even in IRQ context: https://lore.kernel.org/r/oc46gdpmmlly5o44obvmoatfqo5bhpgv7pabpvb6sjuqioymcg@gjsma3ghoz35 In an ideal world, all networking drivers would be fixed first and the atomic flush would be blocked only in NMI context. But it brings the question how reliable networking drivers are when the system is in a bad state. They might block flushing more reliable serial consoles which are more suitable for serious debugging anyway. - Allow to use the last 4 bytes of the printk ring buffer. - Prevent queuing IRQ work and block printk kthreads when consoles are suspended. Otherwise, they create non-necessary churn or even block the suspend. - Release console_lock() between each record in the kthread used for legacy consoles on RT. It might significantly speed up the boot. - Release nbcon context between each record in the atomic flush. It prevents stalls of the related printk kthread after it has lost the ownership in the middle of a record - Add support for NBCON consoles into KDB - Add %ptsP modifier for printing struct timespec64 and use it where possible - Misc code clean up * tag 'printk-for-6.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux: (48 commits) printk: Use console_is_usable on console_unblank arch: um: kmsg_dump: Use console_is_usable drivers: serial: kgdboc: Drop checks for CON_ENABLED and CON_BOOT lib/vsprintf: Unify FORMAT_STATE_NUM handlers printk: Avoid irq_work for printk_deferred() on suspend printk: Avoid scheduling irq_work on suspend printk: Allow printk_trigger_flush() to flush all types tracing: Switch to use %ptSp scsi: snic: Switch to use %ptSp scsi: fnic: Switch to use %ptSp s390/dasd: Switch to use %ptSp ptp: ocp: Switch to use %ptSp pps: Switch to use %ptSp PCI: epf-test: Switch to use %ptSp net: dsa: sja1105: Switch to use %ptSp mmc: mmc_test: Switch to use %ptSp media: av7110: Switch to use %ptSp ipmi: Switch to use %ptSp igb: Switch to use %ptSp e1000e: Switch to use %ptSp ...
