2026-01-16dt-bindings: net: adi,adin: document LP Termination propertyOsose Itua1-0/+14
Add "adi,low-cmode-impedance" boolean property which, when present, configures the PHY for the lowest common-mode impedance on the receive pair for 100BASE-TX operation by clearing the B_100_ZPTM_EN_DIMRX bit. This is suited for capacitive coupled applications and other applications where there may be a path for high common-mode noise to reach the PHY. If this value is not present, the value of the bit by default is 1, which is normal termination (zero-power termination) mode.

RGMU a.k.a Reduced Graphics Management Unit is a small state machine with the sole purpose of providing IFPC (Inter Frame Power Collapse) support. Compared to GMU, it doesn't manage GPU clock, voltage scaling, bw voting or any other functionalities. All it does is detect an idle GPU and toggle the GDSC switch. As it doesn't access DDR space, it doesn't require iommu. So far, only Adreno 612 GPU has an RGMU core. Document it in qcom,adreno-rgmu.yaml.

In commit f48b5e8bc2e1 ("dt-bindings: gpio-mmio: Add compatible string for opencores,gpio") we marked opencores,gpio to be allowed with brcm,bcm6345-gpio. This was wrong, opencores,gpio is not compatible with brcm,bcm6345-gpio. It has a different register map and is 8-bit vs Broadcom which is 32-bit.

2026-01-15ACPI: Documentation: driver-api: Disapprove of using ACPI driversRafael J. Wysocki2-0/+81
Sadly, there is quite a bit of technical debt related to the kernel's ACPI support subsystem and one of the most significant pieces of it is the existence and use of ACPI drivers represented by struct acpi_driver objects. Those drivers are bound directly to struct acpi_device objects, also referred to as "ACPI device nodes", representing device objects in the ACPI namespace defined as: A hierarchical tree structure in OS-controlled memory that contains named objects. These objects may be data objects, control method objects, bus/device package objects, and so on. according to the ACPI specification [1]. The above definition implies, although rather indirectly, that the objects in question don't really represent hardware. They are just "device package objects" containing some information on the devices present in the given platform that is known to the platform firmware. Although the platform firmware can be the only source of information on some devices, the information provided by it alone may be insufficient for device enumeration in general. If that is the case, binding a driver directly to a given ACPI device node clearly doesn't make sense. If the device in question is enumerated through a hardware interface, it will be represented by a device object matching that interface, like a struct pci_dev, and the ACPI device node corresponding to it will be treated as its "ACPI companions" whose role is to amend the "native" enumeratiom mechanism. For the sake of consistency and confusion avoidance, it is better to treat ACPI device nodes in general as ACPI companions of other device objects representing hardware. In some cases though it appeared easier to take a shortcut and use an ACPI driver binding directly to an ACPI device node. Moreover, there were corner cases in which that was the only choice, but they all have been addressed now. In all cases in which an ACPI driver might be used, the ACPI device node it might bind to is an ACPI companion of another device object representing a piece of hardware. It is thus better to use a driver binding to the latter than to use an ACPI driver and leave the other device object alone, not just because doing so is more consistent and less confusing, but also because using ACPI drivers may lead to potential functional deficiencies, like possible ordering issues related to power management. Unfortunately, there are quite a few ACPI drivers in use and, as a rule, they bind to ACPI device nodes that are ACPI companions of platform devices, so in fact they play the role of platform drivers although in a kind of convoluted way. An effort has been under way to replace them with platform drivers, which is relatively straightforward in the vast majority of cases, but it has not been pursued very aggressively so far, mostly due to the existence of the corner cases mentioned above. However, since those corner cases are gone now, it makes sense to spend more time on driver conversions with the ultimate goal to get rid of struct acpi_driver and the related code from the kernel. To that end, add a document explaining why using ACPI drivers is not a good idea, so it need not be explained from scratch on every attempt to convert an ACPI driver to a platform one.

2026-01-15perf/x86/intel: Add support for rdpmc user disable featureDapeng Mi1-0/+44
Starting with Panther Cove, the rdpmc user disable feature is supported. This feature allows the perf system to disable user space rdpmc reads at the counter level. Currently, when a global counter is active, any user with rdpmc rights can read it, even if perf access permissions forbid it (e.g., disallow reading ring 0 counters). The rdpmc user disable feature mitigates this security concern. Details: - A new RDPMC_USR_DISABLE bit (bit 37) in each EVNTSELx MSR indicates that the GP counter cannot be read by RDPMC in ring 3. - New RDPMC_USR_DISABLE bits in IA32_FIXED_CTR_CTRL MSR (bits 33, 37, 41, 45, etc.) for fixed counters 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. - When calling rdpmc instruction for counter x, the following pseudo code demonstrates how the counter value is obtained: If (!CPL0 && RDPMC_USR_DISABLE[x] == 1) ? 0 : counter_value; - RDPMC_USR_DISABLE is enumerated by CPUID.0x23.0.EBX[2]. This patch extends the current global user space rdpmc control logic via the sysfs interface (/sys/devices/cpu/rdpmc) as follows: - rdpmc = 0: Global user space rdpmc and counter-level user space rdpmc for all counters are both disabled. - rdpmc = 1: Global user space rdpmc is enabled during the mmap-enabled time window, and counter-level user space rdpmc is enabled only for non-system-wide events. This prevents counter data leaks as count data is cleared during context switches. - rdpmc = 2: Global user space rdpmc and counter-level user space rdpmc for all counters are enabled unconditionally. The new rdpmc settings only affect newly activated perf events; currently active perf events remain unaffected. This simplifies and cleans up the code. The default value of rdpmc remains unchanged at 1. For more details about rdpmc user disable, please refer to chapter 15 "RDPMC USER DISABLE" in ISE documentation.

2026-01-15slab: Introduce kmalloc_flex() and familyKees Cook1-0/+7
As done for kmalloc_obj*(), introduce a type-aware allocator for flexible arrays, which may also have "counted_by" annotations: ptr = kmalloc(struct_size(ptr, flex_member, count), gfp); becomes: ptr = kmalloc_flex(*ptr, flex_member, count, gfp); The internal use of __flex_counter() allows for automatically setting the counter member of a struct's flexible array member when it has been annotated with __counted_by(), avoiding any missed early size initializations while __counted_by() annotations are added to the kernel. Additionally, this also checks for "too large" allocations based on the type size of the counter variable. For example: if (count > type_max(ptr->flex_counter)) fail...; size = struct_size(ptr, flex_member, count); ptr = kmalloc(size, gfp); if (!ptr) fail...; ptr->flex_counter = count; becomes (n.b. unchanged from earlier example): ptr = kmalloc_flex(*ptr, flex_member, count, gfp); if (!ptr) fail...; ptr->flex_counter = count; Note that manual initialization of the flexible array counter is still required (at some point) after allocation as not all compiler versions support the __counted_by annotation yet. But doing it internally makes sure they cannot be missed when __counted_by _is_ available, meaning that the bounds checker will not trip due to the lack of "early enough" initializations that used to work before enabling the stricter bounds checking. For example: ptr = kmalloc_flex(*ptr, flex_member, count, gfp); fill(ptr->flex, count); ptr->flex_count = count; This works correctly before adding a __counted_by annotation (since nothing is checking ptr->flex accesses against ptr->flex_count). After adding the annotation, the bounds sanitizer would trip during fill() because ptr->flex_count wasn't set yet. But with kmalloc_flex() setting ptr->flex_count internally at allocation time, the existing code works without needing to move the ptr->flex_count assignment before the call to fill(). (This has been a stumbling block for __counted_by adoption.)

2026-01-15slab: Introduce kmalloc_obj() and familyKees Cook1-0/+24
Introduce type-aware kmalloc-family helpers to replace the common idioms for single object and arrays of objects allocation: ptr = kmalloc(sizeof(*ptr), gfp); ptr = kmalloc(sizeof(struct some_obj_name), gfp); ptr = kzalloc(sizeof(*ptr), gfp); ptr = kmalloc_array(count, sizeof(*ptr), gfp); ptr = kcalloc(count, sizeof(*ptr), gfp); These become, respectively: ptr = kmalloc_obj(*ptr, gfp); ptr = kmalloc_obj(*ptr, gfp); ptr = kzalloc_obj(*ptr, gfp); ptr = kmalloc_objs(*ptr, count, gfp); ptr = kzalloc_objs(*ptr, count, gfp); Beyond the other benefits outlined below, the primary ergonomic benefit is the elimination of needing "sizeof" nor the type name, and the enforcement of assignment types (they do not return "void *", but rather a pointer to the type of the first argument). The type name _can_ be used, though, in the case where an assignment is indirect (e.g. via "return"). This additionally allows[1] variables to be declared via __auto_type: __auto_type ptr = kmalloc_obj(struct foo, gfp); Internal introspection of the allocated type now becomes possible, allowing for future alignment-aware choices to be made by the allocator and future hardening work that can be type sensitive. For example, adding __alignof(*ptr) as an argument to the internal allocators so that appropriate/efficient alignment choices can be made, or being able to correctly choose per-allocation offset randomization within a bucket that does not break alignment requirements.

2026-01-14dt-bindings: phy-common-props: RX and TX lane polarity inversionVladimir Oltean1-0/+49
Differential signaling is a technique for high-speed protocols to be more resilient to noise. At the transmit side we have a positive and a negative signal which are mirror images of each other. At the receiver, if we subtract the negative signal (say of amplitude -A) from the positive signal (say +A), we recover the original single-ended signal at twice its original amplitude. But any noise, like one coming from EMI from outside sources, is supposed to have an almost equal impact upon the positive (A + E, E being for "error") and negative signal (-A + E). So (A + E) - (-A + E) eliminates this noise, and this is what makes differential signaling useful. Except that in order to work, there must be strict requirements observed during PCB design and layout, like the signal traces needing to have the same length and be physically close to each other, and many others. Sometimes it is not easy to fulfill all these requirements, a simple case to understand is when on chip A's pins, the positive pin is on the left and the negative is on the right, but on the chip B's pins (with which A tries to communicate), positive is on the right and negative on the left. The signals would need to cross, using vias and other ugly stuff that affects signal integrity (introduces impedance discontinuities which cause reflections, etc). So sometimes, board designers intentionally connect differential lanes the wrong way, and expect somebody else to invert that signal to recover useful data. This is where RX and TX polarity inversion comes in as a generic concept that applies to any high-speed serial protocol as long as it uses differential signaling. I've stopped two attempts to introduce more vendor-specific descriptions of this only in the past month: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-phy/20251110110536.2596490-1-horatiu.vultur@microchip.com/ https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20251028000959.3kiac5kwo5pcl4ft@skbuf/ and in the kernel we already have merged: - "st,px_rx_pol_inv" - "st,pcie-tx-pol-inv" - "st,sata-tx-pol-inv" - "mediatek,pnswap" - "airoha,pnswap-rx" - "airoha,pnswap-tx" and maybe more. So it is pretty general. One additional element of complexity is introduced by the fact that for some protocols, receivers can automatically detect and correct for an inverted lane polarity (example: the PCIe LTSSM does this in the Polling.Configuration state; the USB 3.1 Link Layer Test Specification says that the detection and correction of the lane polarity inversion in SuperSpeed operation shall be enabled in Polling.RxEQ.). Whereas for other protocols (SGMII, SATA, 10GBase-R, etc etc), the polarity is all manual and there is no detection mechanism mandated by their respective standards. So why would one even describe rx-polarity and tx-polarity for protocols like PCIe, if it had to always be PHY_POL_AUTO? Related question: why would we define the polarity as an array per protocol? Isn't the physical PCB layout protocol-agnostic, and aren't we describing the same physical reality from the lens of different protocols? The answer to both questions is because multi-protocol PHYs exist (supporting e.g. USB2 and USB3, or SATA and PCIe, or PCIe and Ethernet over the same lane), one would need to manually set the polarity for SATA/Ethernet, while leaving it at auto for PCIe/USB 3.0+. I also investigated from another angle: what if polarity inversion in the PHY is one layer, and then the PCIe/USB3 LTSSM polarity detection is another layer on top? Then rx-polarity = <PHY_POL_AUTO> doesn't make sense, it can still be rx-polarity = <PHY_POL_NORMAL> or <PHY_POL_INVERT>, and the link training state machine figures things out on top of that. This would radically simplify the design, as the elimination of PHY_POL_AUTO inherently means that the need for a property array per protocol also goes away. I don't know how things are in the general case, but at least in the 10G and 28G Lynx SerDes blocks from NXP Layerscape devices, this isn't the case, and there's only a single level of RX polarity inversion: in the SerDes lane. In the case of PCIe, the controller is in charge of driving the RDAT_INV bit autonomously, and it is read-only to software. So the existence of this kind of SerDes lane proves the need for PHY_POL_AUTO to be a third state.
