Ensure that in the ftrace direct call logic, the CPU register state
(with ra = parent return address) is restored to the correct state after
the execution of the custom trampoline function and before returning to
the traced function. Additionally, guarantee the correctness of the jump
logic for jr t0 (traced function address).

MMIO backend of PCI Bar always assumes little-endian devices and
will convert to CPU endianness automatically. Remove the u32::from_le
conversion which would cause a bug on big-endian machines.

   increases the flexibility of KEXEC Handover. Also preparation for LUO

 - "Live Update Orchestrator" (Pasha Tatashin)
   is a major new feature targeted at cloud environments. Quoting the
   cover letter:

      This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel
      subsystem designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a
      kexec-based reboot. This capability is critical for cloud
      environments, allowing hypervisors to be updated with minimal
      downtime for running virtual machines. LUO achieves this by
      preserving the state of selected resources, such as memory,
      devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition.

      As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving
      memfd file descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such
      as guest RAM or any other large memory region, to be maintained in
      RAM across the kexec reboot.

   Mike Rappaport merits a mention here, for his extensive review and
   testing work.

 - "kexec: reorganize kexec and kdump sysfs" (Sourabh Jain)
   moves the kexec and kdump sysfs entries from /sys/kernel/ to

Pull module updates from Daniel Gomez:
 "Rust module parameter support:

   - Add Rust module parameter support, enabling Rust kernel modules to
     declare and use module parameters. The rust_minimal sample module
     demonstrates this, and the rust null block driver will be the first
     to use it in the next cycle. This also adds the Rust module files
     under the modules subsystem as agreed between the Rust and modules
     maintainers.

  Hardening:

   - Add compile-time check for embedded NUL characters in MODULE_*()
     macros. This module metadata was once used (and maybe still) to
     bypass license enforcement (LWN article from 2003):

Pull VFIO updates from Alex Williamson:

 - Move libvfio selftest artifacts in preparation of more tightly
   coupled integration with KVM selftests (David Matlack)

 - Fix comment typo in mtty driver (Chu Guangqing)

 - Support for new hardware revision in the hisi_acc vfio-pci variant
   driver where the migration registers can now be accessed via the PF.
   When enabled for this support, the full BAR can be exposed to the
   user (Longfang Liu)

 - Fix vfio cdev support for VF token passing, using the correct size
   for the kernel structure, thereby actually allowing userspace to
   provide a non-zero UUID token. Also set the match token callback for
   the hisi_acc, fixing VF token support for this this vfio-pci variant
   driver (Raghavendra Rao Ananta)

 - Introduce internal callbacks on vfio devices to simplify and
   consolidate duplicate code for generating VFIO_DEVICE_GET_REGION_INFO
   data, removing various ioctl intercepts with a more structured
   solution (Jason Gunthorpe)

 - Introduce dma-buf support for vfio-pci devices, allowing MMIO regions
   to be exposed through dma-buf objects with lifecycle managed through
   move operations. This enables low-level interactions such as a
   vfio-pci based SPDK drivers interacting directly with dma-buf capable
   RDMA devices to enable peer-to-peer operations. IOMMUFD is also now
   able to build upon this support to fill a long standing feature gap
   versus the legacy vfio type1 IOMMU backend with an implementation of
   P2P support for VM use cases that better manages the lifecycle of the
   P2P mapping (Leon Romanovsky, Jason Gunthorpe, Vivek Kasireddy)

 - Convert eventfd triggering for error and request signals to use RCU
   mechanisms in order to avoid a 3-way lockdep reported deadlock issue
   (Alex Williamson)

 - Fix a 32-bit overflow introduced via dma-buf support manifesting with
   large DMA buffers (Alex Mastro)

 - Convert nvgrace-gpu vfio-pci variant driver to insert mappings on
   fault rather than at mmap time. This conversion serves both to make
   use of huge PFNMAPs but also to both avoid corrected RAS events
   during reset by now being subject to vfio-pci-core's use of
   unmap_mapping_range(), and to enable a device readiness test after
   reset (Ankit Agrawal)

 - Refactoring of vfio selftests to support multi-device tests and split
   code to provide better separation between IOMMU and device objects.
   This work also enables a new test suite addition to measure parallel
   device initialization latency (David Matlack)

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core &amp; 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.

     supports Synopsys turn-key MAC IP integrated into a ton of SoCs.

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
 "Toolchain and infrastructure:

   - Add support for 'syn'.

     Syn is a parsing library for parsing a stream of Rust tokens into a
     syntax tree of Rust source code.

     Currently this library is geared toward use in Rust procedural
     macros, but contains some APIs that may be useful more generally.

     'syn' allows us to greatly simplify writing complex macros such as
     'pin-init' (Benno has already prepared the 'syn'-based version). We
     will use it in the 'macros' crate too.

     'syn' is the most downloaded Rust crate (according to crates.io),
     and it is also used by the Rust compiler itself. While the amount
     of code is substantial, there should not be many updates needed for
     these crates, and even if there are, they should not be too big,
     e.g. +7k -3k lines across the 3 crates in the last year.

     'syn' requires two smaller dependencies: 'quote' and 'proc-macro2'.
     I only modified their code to remove a third dependency
     ('unicode-ident') and to add the SPDX identifiers. The code can be
     easily verified to exactly match upstream with the provided
     scripts.

     They are all licensed under "Apache-2.0 OR MIT", like the other
     vendored 'alloc' crate we had for a while.

     Please see the merge commit with the cover letter for more context.

   - Allow 'unreachable_pub' and 'clippy::disallowed_names' for
     doctests.

     Examples (i.e. doctests) may want to do things like show public
     items and use names such as 'foo'.

     Nevertheless, we still try to keep examples as close to real code
     as possible (this is part of why running Clippy on doctests is
     important for us, e.g. for safety comments, which userspace Rust
     does not support yet but we are stricter).

  'kernel' crate:

   - Replace our custom 'CStr' type with 'core::ffi::CStr'.

     Using the standard library type reduces our custom code footprint,
     and we retain needed custom functionality through an extension
     trait and a new 'fmt!' macro which replaces the previous 'core'
     import.

     This started in 6.17 and continued in 6.18, and we finally land the
     replacement now. This required quite some stamina from Tamir, who
     split the changes in steps to prepare for the flag day change here.

   - Replace 'kernel::c_str!' with C string literals.

     C string literals were added in Rust 1.77, which produce '&amp;CStr's
     (the 'core' one), so now we can write:

         c"hi"

     instead of:

         c_str!("hi")

   - Add 'num' module for numerical features.

     It includes the 'Integer' trait, implemented for all primitive
     integer types.

     It also includes the 'Bounded' integer wrapping type: an integer
     value that requires only the 'N' least significant bits of the
     wrapped type to be encoded:

         // An unsigned 8-bit integer, of which only the 4 LSBs are used.
         let v = Bounded::&lt;u8, 4&gt;::new::&lt;15&gt;();
         assert_eq!(v.get(), 15);

     'Bounded' is useful to e.g. enforce guarantees when working with
     bitfields that have an arbitrary number of bits.

     Values can also be constructed from simple non-constant expressions
     or, for more complex ones, validated at runtime.

     'Bounded' also comes with comparison and arithmetic operations
     (with both their backing type and other 'Bounded's with a
     compatible backing type), casts to change the backing type,
     extending/shrinking and infallible/fallible conversions from/to
     primitives as applicable.

   - 'rbtree' module: add immutable cursor ('Cursor').

     It enables to use just an immutable tree reference where
     appropriate. The existing fully-featured mutable cursor is renamed
     to 'CursorMut'.

  kallsyms:

   - Fix wrong "big" kernel symbol type read from procfs.

  'pin-init' crate:

   - A couple minor fixes (Benno asked me to pick these patches up for
     him this cycle).

  Documentation:

   - Quick Start guide: add Debian 13 (Trixie).

     Debian Stable is now able to build Linux, since Debian 13 (released
     2025-08-09) packages Rust 1.85.0, which is recent enough.

     We are planning to propose that the minimum supported Rust version
     in Linux follows Debian Stable releases, with Debian 13 being the
     first one we upgrade to, i.e. Rust 1.85.

  MAINTAINERS:

   - Add entry for the new 'num' module.

   - Remove Alex as Rust maintainer: he hasn't had the time to
     contribute for a few years now, so it is a no-op change in
     practice.

  And a few other cleanups and improvements"
