Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.2-rc1.

  The "big" change in here is the addition of a new macro,
  container_of_const() that will preserve the "const-ness" of a pointer
  passed into it.

  The "problem" of the current container_of() macro is that if you pass
  in a "const *", out of it can comes a non-const pointer unless you
  specifically ask for it. For many usages, we want to preserve the
  "const" attribute by using the same call. For a specific example, this
  series changes the kobj_to_dev() macro to use it, allowing it to be
  used no matter what the const value is. This prevents every subsystem
  from having to declare 2 different individual macros (i.e.
  kobj_const_to_dev() and kobj_to_dev()) and having the compiler enforce
  the const value at build time, which having 2 macros would not do
  either.

  The driver for all of this have been discussions with the Rust kernel
  developers as to how to properly mark driver core, and kobject,
  objects as being "non-mutable". The changes to the kobject and driver
  core in this pull request are the result of that, as there are lots of
  paths where kobjects and device pointers are not modified at all, so
  marking them as "const" allows the compiler to enforce this.

  So, a nice side affect of the Rust development effort has been already
  to clean up the driver core code to be more obvious about object
  rules.

  All of this has been bike-shedded in quite a lot of detail on lkml
  with different names and implementations resulting in the tiny version
  we have in here, much better than my original proposal. Lots of
  subsystem maintainers have acked the changes as well.

  Other than this change, included in here are smaller stuff like:

   - kernfs fixes and updates to handle lock contention better

   - vmlinux.lds.h fixes and updates

   - sysfs and debugfs documentation updates

   - device property updates

  All of these have been in the linux-next tree for quite a while with
  no problems"

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "ARM64:

   - Enable the per-vcpu dirty-ring tracking mechanism, together with an
     option to keep the good old dirty log around for pages that are
     dirtied by something other than a vcpu.

   - Switch to the relaxed parallel fault handling, using RCU to delay
     page table reclaim and giving better performance under load.

   - Relax the MTE ABI, allowing a VMM to use the MAP_SHARED mapping
     option, which multi-process VMMs such as crosvm rely on (see merge
     commit 382b5b87a97d: "Fix a number of issues with MTE, such as
     races on the tags being initialised vs the PG_mte_tagged flag as
     well as the lack of support for VM_SHARED when KVM is involved.
     Patches from Catalin Marinas and Peter Collingbourne").

   - Merge the pKVM shadow vcpu state tracking that allows the
     hypervisor to have its own view of a vcpu, keeping that state
     private.

   - Add support for the PMUv3p5 architecture revision, bringing support
     for 64bit counters on systems that support it, and fix the
     no-quite-compliant CHAIN-ed counter support for the machines that
     actually exist out there.

   - Fix a handful of minor issues around 52bit VA/PA support (64kB
     pages only) as a prefix of the oncoming support for 4kB and 16kB
     pages.

   - Pick a small set of documentation and spelling fixes, because no
     good merge window would be complete without those.

  s390:

   - Second batch of the lazy destroy patches

   - First batch of KVM changes for kernel virtual != physical address
     support

   - Removal of a unused function

  x86:

   - Allow compiling out SMM support

   - Cleanup and documentation of SMM state save area format

   - Preserve interrupt shadow in SMM state save area

   - Respond to generic signals during slow page faults

   - Fixes and optimizations for the non-executable huge page errata
     fix.

   - Reprogram all performance counters on PMU filter change

   - Cleanups to Hyper-V emulation and tests

   - Process Hyper-V TLB flushes from a nested guest (i.e. from a L2
     guest running on top of a L1 Hyper-V hypervisor)

   - Advertise several new Intel features

   - x86 Xen-for-KVM:

      - Allow the Xen runstate information to cross a page boundary

      - Allow XEN_RUNSTATE_UPDATE flag behaviour to be configured

      - Add support for 32-bit guests in SCHEDOP_poll

   - Notable x86 fixes and cleanups:

      - One-off fixes for various emulation flows (SGX, VMXON, NRIPS=0).

      - Reinstate IBPB on emulated VM-Exit that was incorrectly dropped
        a few years back when eliminating unnecessary barriers when
        switching between vmcs01 and vmcs02.

      - Clean up vmread_error_trampoline() to make it more obvious that
        params must be passed on the stack, even for x86-64.

      - Let userspace set all supported bits in MSR_IA32_FEAT_CTL
        irrespective of the current guest CPUID.

      - Fudge around a race with TSC refinement that results in KVM
        incorrectly thinking a guest needs TSC scaling when running on a
        CPU with a constant TSC, but no hardware-enumerated TSC
        frequency.

      - Advertise (on AMD) that the SMM_CTL MSR is not supported

      - Remove unnecessary exports

  Generic:

   - Support for responding to signals during page faults; introduces
     new FOLL_INTERRUPTIBLE flag that was reviewed by mm folks

  Selftests:

   - Fix an inverted check in the access tracking perf test, and restore
     support for asserting that there aren't too many idle pages when
     running on bare metal.

   - Fix build errors that occur in certain setups (unsure exactly what
     is unique about the problematic setup) due to glibc overriding
     static_assert() to a variant that requires a custom message.

   - Introduce actual atomics for clear/set_bit() in selftests

   - Add support for pinning vCPUs in dirty_log_perf_test.

   - Rename the so called "perf_util" framework to "memstress".

   - Add a lightweight psuedo RNG for guest use, and use it to randomize
     the access pattern and write vs. read percentage in the memstress
     tests.

   - Add a common ucall implementation; code dedup and pre-work for
     running SEV (and beyond) guests in selftests.

   - Provide a common constructor and arch hook, which will eventually
     be used by x86 to automatically select the right hypercall (AMD vs.
     Intel).

   - A bunch of added/enabled/fixed selftests for ARM64, covering
     memslots, breakpoints, stage-2 faults and access tracking.

   - x86-specific selftest changes:

      - Clean up x86's page table management.

      - Clean up and enhance the "smaller maxphyaddr" test, and add a
        related test to cover generic emulation failure.

      - Clean up the nEPT support checks.

      - Add X86_PROPERTY_* framework to retrieve multi-bit CPUID values.

      - Fix an ordering issue in the AMX test introduced by recent
        conversions to use kvm_cpu_has(), and harden the code to guard
        against similar bugs in the future. Anything that tiggers
        caching of KVM's supported CPUID, kvm_cpu_has() in this case,
        effectively hides opt-in XSAVE features if the caching occurs
        before the test opts in via prctl().

  Documentation:

   - Remove deleted ioctls from documentation

   - Clean up the docs for the x86 MSR filter.

   - Various fixes"

Pull iommufd implementation from Jason Gunthorpe:
 "iommufd is the user API to control the IOMMU subsystem as it relates
  to managing IO page tables that point at user space memory.

  It takes over from drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu_type1.c (aka the VFIO
  container) which is the VFIO specific interface for a similar idea.

  We see a broad need for extended features, some being highly IOMMU
  device specific:
   - Binding iommu_domain's to PASID/SSID
   - Userspace IO page tables, for ARM, x86 and S390
   - Kernel bypassed invalidation of user page tables
   - Re-use of the KVM page table in the IOMMU
   - Dirty page tracking in the IOMMU
   - Runtime Increase/Decrease of IOPTE size
   - PRI support with faults resolved in userspace

  Many of these HW features exist to support VM use cases - for instance
  the combination of PASID, PRI and Userspace IO Page Tables allows an
  implementation of DMA Shared Virtual Addressing (vSVA) within a guest.
  Dirty tracking enables VM live migration with SRIOV devices and PASID
  support allow creating "scalable IOV" devices, among other things.

  As these features are fundamental to a VM platform they need to be
  uniformly exposed to all the driver families that do DMA into VMs,
  which is currently VFIO and VDPA"

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:

 - Replace prandom_u32_max() and various open-coded variants of it,
   there is now a new family of functions that uses fast rejection
   sampling to choose properly uniformly random numbers within an
   interval:

       get_random_u32_below(ceil) - [0, ceil)
       get_random_u32_above(floor) - (floor, U32_MAX]
       get_random_u32_inclusive(floor, ceil) - [floor, ceil]

   Coccinelle was used to convert all current users of
   prandom_u32_max(), as well as many open-coded patterns, resulting in
   improvements throughout the tree.

   I'll have a "late" 6.1-rc1 pull for you that removes the now unused
   prandom_u32_max() function, just in case any other trees add a new
   use case of it that needs to converted. According to linux-next,
   there may be two trivial cases of prandom_u32_max() reintroductions
   that are fixable with a 's/.../.../'. So I'll have for you a final
   conversion patch doing that alongside the removal patch during the
   second week.

   This is a treewide change that touches many files throughout.

 - More consistent use of get_random_canary().

 - Updates to comments, documentation, tests, headers, and
   simplification in configuration.

 - The arch_get_random*_early() abstraction was only used by arm64 and
   wasn't entirely useful, so this has been replaced by code that works
   in all relevant contexts.

 - The kernel will use and manage random seeds in non-volatile EFI
   variables, refreshing a variable with a fresh seed when the RNG is
   initialized. The RNG GUID namespace is then hidden from efivarfs to
   prevent accidental leakage.

   These changes are split into random.c infrastructure code used in the
   EFI subsystem, in this pull request, and related support inside of
   EFISTUB, in Ard's EFI tree. These are co-dependent for full
   functionality, but the order of merging doesn't matter.

 - Part of the infrastructure added for the EFI support is also used for
   an improvement to the way vsprintf initializes its siphash key,
   replacing an sleep loop wart.

 - The hardware RNG framework now always calls its correct random.c
   input function, add_hwgenerator_randomness(), rather than sometimes
   going through helpers better suited for other cases.

 - The add_latent_entropy() function has long been called from the fork
   handler, but is a no-op when the latent entropy gcc plugin isn't
   used, which is fine for the purposes of latent entropy.

   But it was missing out on the cycle counter that was also being mixed
   in beside the latent entropy variable. So now, if the latent entropy
   gcc plugin isn't enabled, add_latent_entropy() will expand to a call
   to add_device_randomness(NULL, 0), which adds a cycle counter,
   without the absent latent entropy variable.

 - The RNG is now reseeded from a delayed worker, rather than on demand
   when used. Always running from a worker allows it to make use of the
   CPU RNG on platforms like S390x, whose instructions are too slow to
   do so from interrupts. It also has the effect of adding in new inputs
   more frequently with more regularity, amounting to a long term
   transcript of random values. Plus, it helps a bit with the upcoming
   vDSO implementation (which isn't yet ready for 6.2).

 - The jitter entropy algorithm now tries to execute on many different
   CPUs, round-robining, in hopes of hitting even more memory latencies
   and other unpredictable effects. It also will mix in a cycle counter
   when the entropy timer fires, in addition to being mixed in from the
   main loop, to account more explicitly for fluctuations in that timer
   firing. And the state it touches is now kept within the same cache
   line, so that it's assured that the different execution contexts will
   cause latencies.

Pull s390 updates from Alexander Gordeev:

 - Factor out handle_write() function and simplify 3215 console write
   operation

 - When 3170 terminal emulator is connected to the 3215 console driver
   the boot time could be very long due to limited buffer space or
   missing operator input. Add con3215_drop command line parameter and
   con3215_drop sysfs attribute file to instruct the kernel drop console
   data when such conditions are met

 - Fix white space errors in 3215 console driver

 - Move enum paiext_mode definition to a header file and rename it to
   paievt_mode to indicate this is now used for several events. Rename
   PAI_MODE_COUNTER to PAI_MODE_COUNTING to make consistent with
   PAI_MODE_SAMPLING

 - Simplify the logic of PMU pai_crypto mapped buffer reference counter
   and make it consistent with PMU pai_ext

 - Rename PMU pai_crypto mapped buffer structure member users to
   active_events to make it consistent with PMU pai_ext

 - Enable HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP configuration option. This
   results in saving of 12K per 1M hugetlb page (~1.2%) and 32764K per
   2G hugetlb page (~1.6%)

 - Use generic serial.h, bugs.h, shmparam.h and vga.h header files and
   scrap s390-specific versions

 - The generic percpu setup code does not expect the s390-like
   implementation and emits a warning. To get rid of that warning and
   provide sane CPU-to-node and CPU-to-CPU distance mappings implementat
   a minimal version of setup_per_cpu_areas()

 - Use kstrtobool() instead of strtobool() for re-IPL sysfs device
   attributes

 - Avoid unnecessary lookup of a pointer to MSI descriptor when setting
   IRQ affinity for a PCI device

 - Get rid of "an incompatible function type cast" warning by changing
   debug_sprintf_format_fn() function prototype so it matches the
   debug_format_proc_t function type

 - Remove unused info_blk_hdr__pcpus() and get_page_state() functions

 - Get rid of clang "unused unused insn cache ops function" warning by
   moving s390_insn definition to a private header

 - Get rid of clang "unused function" warning by making function
   raw3270_state_final() only available if CONFIG_TN3270_CONSOLE is
   enabled

 - Use kstrobool() to parse sclp_con_drop parameter to make it identical
   to the con3215_drop parameter and allow passing values like "yes" and
   "true"

 - Use sysfs_emit() for all SCLP sysfs show functions, which is the
   current standard way to generate output strings

 - Make SCLP con_drop sysfs attribute also writable and allow to change
   its value during runtime. This makes SCLP console drop handling
   consistent with the 3215 device driver

 - Virtual and physical addresses are indentical on s390. However, there
   is still a confusion when pointers are directly casted to physical
   addresses or vice versa. Use correct address converters
   virt_to_phys() and phys_to_virt() for s390 channel IO drivers

 - Support for power managemant has been removed from s390 since quite
   some time. Remove unused power managemant code from the appldata
   device driver

 - Allow memory tools like KASAN see memory accesses from the checksum
   code. Switch to GENERIC_CSUM if KASAN is enabled, just like x86 does

 - Add support of ECKD DASDs disks so it could be used as boot and dump
   devices

 - Follow checkpatch recommendations and use octal values instead of
   S_IRUGO and S_IWUSR for dump device attributes in sysfs

 - Changes to vx-insn.h do not cause a recompile of C files that use
   asm(".include \"asm/vx-insn.h\"\n") magic to access vector
   instruction macros from inline assemblies. Add wrapper include header
   file to avoid this problem

 - Use vector instruction macros instead of byte patterns to increase
   register validation routine readability

 - The current machine check register validation handling does not take
   into account various scenarios and might lead to killing a wrong user
   process or potentially ignore corrupted FPU registers. Simplify logic
   of the machine check handler and stop the whole machine if the
   previous context was kerenel mode. If the previous context was user
   mode, kill the current task

 - Introduce sclp_emergency_printk() function which can be used to emit
   a message in emergency cases. It is supposed to be used in cases
   where regular console device drivers may not work anymore, e.g.
   unrecoverable machine checks

   Keep the early Service-Call Control Block so it can also be used
   after initdata has been freed to allow sclp_emergency_printk()
   implementation

 - In case a system will be stopped because of an unrecoverable machine
   check error print the machine check interruption code to give a hint
   of what went wrong

 - Move storage error checking from the assembly entry code to C in
   order to simplify machine check handling. Enter the handler with DAT
   turned on, which simplifies the entry code even more

 - The machine check extended save areas are allocated using a private
   "nmi_save_areas" slab cache which guarantees a required power-of-two
   alignment. Get rid of that cache in favour of kmalloc()
