<content type='text'>
LoongArch maintains cache coherency in hardware, but when paired with
LS7A chipsets the WUC attribute (Weak-ordered UnCached, which is similar
to WriteCombine) is out of the scope of cache coherency machanism for
PCIe devices (this is a PCIe protocol violation, which may be fixed in
newer chipsets).

This means WUC can only used for write-only memory regions now, so this
option is disabled by default, making WUC silently fallback to SUC for
ioremap(). You can enable this option if the kernel is ensured to run on
hardware without this bug.

Kernel parameter writecombine=on/off can be used to override the Kconfig
option.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "ARM:

   - Provide a virtual cache topology to the guest to avoid
     inconsistencies with migration on heterogenous systems. Non secure
     software has no practical need to traverse the caches by set/way in
     the first place

   - Add support for taking stage-2 access faults in parallel. This was
     an accidental omission in the original parallel faults
     implementation, but should provide a marginal improvement to
     machines w/o FEAT_HAFDBS (such as hardware from the fruit company)

   - A preamble to adding support for nested virtualization to KVM,
     including vEL2 register state, rudimentary nested exception
     handling and masking unsupported features for nested guests

   - Fixes to the PSCI relay that avoid an unexpected host SVE trap when
     resuming a CPU when running pKVM

   - VGIC maintenance interrupt support for the AIC

   - Improvements to the arch timer emulation, primarily aimed at
     reducing the trap overhead of running nested

   - Add CONFIG_USERFAULTFD to the KVM selftests config fragment in the
     interest of CI systems

   - Avoid VM-wide stop-the-world operations when a vCPU accesses its
     own redistributor

   - Serialize when toggling CPACR_EL1.SMEN to avoid unexpected
     exceptions in the host

   - Aesthetic and comment/kerneldoc fixes

   - Drop the vestiges of the old Columbia mailing list and add [Oliver]
     as co-maintainer

  RISC-V:

   - Fix wrong usage of PGDIR_SIZE instead of PUD_SIZE

   - Correctly place the guest in S-mode after redirecting a trap to the
     guest

   - Redirect illegal instruction traps to guest

   - SBI PMU support for guest

  s390:

   - Sort out confusion between virtual and physical addresses, which
     currently are the same on s390

   - A new ioctl that performs cmpxchg on guest memory

   - A few fixes

  x86:

   - Change tdp_mmu to a read-only parameter

   - Separate TDP and shadow MMU page fault paths

   - Enable Hyper-V invariant TSC control

   - Fix a variety of APICv and AVIC bugs, some of them real-world, some
     of them affecting architecurally legal but unlikely to happen in
     practice

   - Mark APIC timer as expired if its in one-shot mode and the count
     underflows while the vCPU task was being migrated

   - Advertise support for Intel's new fast REP string features

   - Fix a double-shootdown issue in the emergency reboot code

   - Ensure GIF=1 and disable SVM during an emergency reboot, i.e. give
     SVM similar treatment to VMX

   - Update Xen's TSC info CPUID sub-leaves as appropriate

   - Add support for Hyper-V's extended hypercalls, where "support" at
     this point is just forwarding the hypercalls to userspace

   - Clean up the kvm-&gt;lock vs. kvm-&gt;srcu sequences when updating the
     PMU and MSR filters

   - One-off fixes and cleanups

   - Fix and cleanup the range-based TLB flushing code, used when KVM is
     running on Hyper-V

   - Add support for filtering PMU events using a mask. If userspace
     wants to restrict heavily what events the guest can use, it can now
     do so without needing an absurd number of filter entries

   - Clean up KVM's handling of "PMU MSRs to save", especially when vPMU
     support is disabled

   - Add PEBS support for Intel Sapphire Rapids

   - Fix a mostly benign overflow bug in SEV's
     send|receive_update_data()

   - Move several SVM-specific flags into vcpu_svm

  x86 Intel:

   - Handle NMI VM-Exits before leaving the noinstr region

   - A few trivial cleanups in the VM-Enter flows

   - Stop enabling VMFUNC for L1 purely to document that KVM doesn't
     support EPTP switching (or any other VM function) for L1

   - Fix a crash when using eVMCS's enlighted MSR bitmaps

  Generic:

   - Clean up the hardware enable and initialization flow, which was
     scattered around multiple arch-specific hooks. Instead, just let
     the arch code call into generic code. Both x86 and ARM should
     benefit from not having to fight common KVM code's notion of how to
     do initialization

   - Account allocations in generic kvm_arch_alloc_vm()

   - Fix a memory leak if coalesced MMIO unregistration fails

  selftests:

   - On x86, cache the CPU vendor (AMD vs. Intel) and use the info to
     emit the correct hypercall instruction instead of relying on KVM to
     patch in VMMCALL

   - Use TAP interface for kvm_binary_stats_test and tsc_msrs_test"

Pull PCI updates from Bjorn Helgaas:
 "Enumeration:

   - Rework portdrv shutdown so it disables interrupts but doesn't
     disable bus mastering, which leads to hangs on Loongson LS7A

   - Add mechanism to prevent Max_Read_Request_Size (MRRS) increases,
     again to avoid hardware issues on Loongson LS7A (and likely other
     devices based on DesignWare IP)

   - Ignore devices with a firmware (DT or ACPI) node that says the
     device is disabled

  Resource management:

   - Distribute spare resources to unconfigured hotplug bridges at
     boot-time (not just when hot-adding such a bridge), which makes
     hot-adding devices to docks work better. Tried this in v6.1 but had
     to revert for regressions, so try again

   - Fix root bus issue that dropped resources that happened to end
     at 0, e.g., [bus 00]

  PCI device hotplug:

   - Remove device locking when marking device as disconnected so this
     doesn't have to wait for concurrent driver bind/unbind to complete

   - Quirk more Qualcomm bridges that don't fully implement the PCIe
     Slot Status 'Command Completed' bit

  Power management:

   - Account for _S0W of the target bridge in acpi_pci_bridge_d3() so we
     don't miss hot-add notifications for USB4 docks, Thunderbolt, etc

  Reset:

   - Observe delay after reset, e.g., resuming from system sleep,
     regardless of whether a bridge can suspend to D3cold at runtime

   - Wait for secondary bus to become ready after a bridge reset

  Virtualization:

   - Avoid FLR on some AMD FCH AHCI adapters where it doesn't work

   - Allow independent IOMMU groups for some Wangxun NICs that prevent
     peer-to-peer transactions but don't advertise an ACS Capability

  Error handling:

   - Configure End-to-End-CRC (ECRC) only if Linux owns the AER
     Capability

   - Remove redundant Device Control Error Reporting Enable in the AER
     service driver since this is already done for all devices during
     enumeration

  ASPM:

   - Add pci_enable_link_state() interface to allow drivers to enable
     ASPM link state

  Endpoint framework:

   - Move dra7xx and tegra194 linkup processing from hard IRQ to
     threaded IRQ handler

   - Add a separate lock for endpoint controller list of endpoint
     function drivers to prevent deadlock in callbacks

   - Pass events from endpoint controller to endpoint function drivers
     via callbacks instead of notifiers

  Synopsys DesignWare eDMA controller driver (acked by Vinod):

   - Fix CPU vs PCI address issues

   - Fix source vs destination address issues

   - Fix issues with interleaved transfer semantics

   - Fix channel count initialization issue (issue still exists in
     several other drivers)

   - Clean up and improve debugfs usage so it will work on platforms
     with several eDMA devices

  Baikal T-1 PCIe controller driver:

   - Set a 64-bit DMA mask

  Freescale i.MX6 PCIe controller driver:

   - Add i.MX8MM, i.MX8MQ, i.MX8MP endpoint mode DT binding and driver
     support

  Intel VMD host bridge driver:

   - Add quirk to configure PCIe ASPM and LTR. This is normally done by
     BIOS, and will be for future products

  Marvell MVEBU PCIe controller driver:

   - Mark this driver as broken in Kconfig since bugs prevent its daily
     usage

  MediaTek MT7621 PCIe controller driver:

   - Delay PHY port initialization to improve boot reliability for ZBT
     WE1326, ZBT WF3526-P, and some Netgear models

  Qualcomm PCIe controller driver:

   - Add MSM8998 DT compatible string

   - Unify MSM8996 and MSM8998 clock orderings

   - Add SM8350 DT binding and driver support

   - Add IPQ8074 Gen3 DT binding and driver support

   - Correct qcom,perst-regs in DT binding

   - Add qcom_pcie_host_deinit() so the PHY is powered off and
     regulators and clocks are disabled on late host-init errors

  Socionext UniPhier Pro5 controller driver:

   - Clean up uniphier-ep reg, clocks, resets, and their names in DT
     binding

  Synopsys DesignWare PCIe controller driver:

   - Restrict coherent DMA mask to 32 bits for MSI, but allow controller
     drivers to set 64-bit streaming DMA mask

   - Add eDMA engine support in both Root Port and Endpoint controllers

  Miscellaneous:

   - Remove MODULE_LICENSE from boolean drivers so they don't look like
     modules so modprobe can complain about them"

Pull ATA updates from Damien Le Moal:

 - Small cleanup of the pata_octeon driver to drop a useless platform
   callback (Uwe)

 - Simplify ata_scsi_cmd_error_handler() code using the fact that
   ap-&gt;ops-&gt;error_handler is NULL most of the time (Wenchao)

 - Several patches improving libata error handling. This is in
   preparation for supporting the command duration limits (CDL) feature.
   The changes allow handling corner cases of ATA NCQ errors which do
   not happen with regular drives but will be triggered with CDL drives
   (Niklas)

 - Simplify the qc_fill_rtf operation (me)

 - Improve SCSI command translation for REPORT_SUPPORTED_OPERATION_CODES
   command (me)

 - Cleanup of libata FUA handling.

   This falls short of enabling FUA for ATA drives that support it by
   default as there were concerns that old drives would break. The
   series however fixes several issues with the FUA support to ensure
   that FUA is reported as being supported only for drives that can
   handle all possible write cases (NCQ and non-NCQ). A check in the
   block layer is also added to ensure that we never see read FUA
   commands (current behavior) (me)

 - Several patches to move the old PARIDE (parallel port IDE) driver to
   libata as pata_parport. Given that this driver also needs protocol
   modules, the driver code resides in its own pata_parport directoy
   under drivers/ata (Ondrej)

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core:

   - Add dedicated kmem_cache for typical/small skb-&gt;head, avoid having
     to access struct page at kfree time, and improve memory use.

   - Introduce sysctl to set default RPS configuration for new netdevs.

   - Define Netlink protocol specification format which can be used to
     describe messages used by each family and auto-generate parsers.
     Add tools for generating kernel data structures and uAPI headers.

   - Expose all net/core sysctls inside netns.

   - Remove 4s sleep in netpoll if carrier is instantly detected on
     boot.

   - Add configurable limit of MDB entries per port, and port-vlan.

   - Continue populating drop reasons throughout the stack.

   - Retire a handful of legacy Qdiscs and classifiers.

  Protocols:

   - Support IPv4 big TCP (TSO frames larger than 64kB).

   - Add IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE socket option, to control local port range
     on socket by socket basis.

   - Track and report in procfs number of MPTCP sockets used.

   - Support mixing IPv4 and IPv6 flows in the in-kernel MPTCP path
     manager.

   - IPv6: don't check net.ipv6.route.max_size and rely on garbage
     collection to free memory (similarly to IPv4).

   - Support Penultimate Segment Pop (PSP) flavor in SRv6 (RFC8986).

   - ICMP: add per-rate limit counters.

   - Add support for user scanning requests in ieee802154.

   - Remove static WEP support.

   - Support minimal Wi-Fi 7 Extremely High Throughput (EHT) rate
     reporting.

   - WiFi 7 EHT channel puncturing support (client &amp; AP).

  BPF:

   - Add a rbtree data structure following the "next-gen data structure"
     precedent set by recently added linked list, that is, by using
     kfunc + kptr instead of adding a new BPF map type.

   - Expose XDP hints via kfuncs with initial support for RX hash and
     timestamp metadata.

   - Add BPF_F_NO_TUNNEL_KEY extension to bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key to
     better support decap on GRE tunnel devices not operating in collect
     metadata.

   - Improve x86 JIT's codegen for PROBE_MEM runtime error checks.

   - Remove the need for trace_printk_lock for bpf_trace_printk and
     bpf_trace_vprintk helpers.

   - Extend libbpf's bpf_tracing.h support for tracing arguments of
     kprobes/uprobes and syscall as a special case.

   - Significantly reduce the search time for module symbols by
     livepatch and BPF.

   - Enable cpumasks to be used as kptrs, which is useful for tracing
     programs tracking which tasks end up running on which CPUs in
     different time intervals.

   - Add support for BPF trampoline on s390x and riscv64.

   - Add capability to export the XDP features supported by the NIC.

   - Add __bpf_kfunc tag for marking kernel functions as kfuncs.

   - Add cgroup.memory=nobpf kernel parameter option to disable BPF
     memory accounting for container environments.

  Netfilter:

   - Remove the CLUSTERIP target. It has been marked as obsolete for
     years, and we still have WARN splats wrt races of the out-of-band
     /proc interface installed by this target.

   - Add 'destroy' commands to nf_tables. They are identical to the
     existing 'delete' commands, but do not return an error if the
     referenced object (set, chain, rule...) did not exist.

  Driver API:

   - Improve cpumask_local_spread() locality to help NICs set the right
     IRQ affinity on AMD platforms.

   - Separate C22 and C45 MDIO bus transactions more clearly.

   - Introduce new DCB table to control DSCP rewrite on egress.

   - Support configuration of Physical Layer Collision Avoidance (PLCA)
     Reconciliation Sublayer (RS) (802.3cg-2019). Modern version of
     shared medium Ethernet.

   - Support for MAC Merge layer (IEEE 802.3-2018 clause 99). Allowing
     preemption of low priority frames by high priority frames.

   - Add support for controlling MACSec offload using netlink SET.

   - Rework devlink instance refcounts to allow registration and
     de-registration under the instance lock. Split the code into
     multiple files, drop some of the unnecessarily granular locks and
     factor out common parts of netlink operation handling.

   - Add TX frame aggregation parameters (for USB drivers).

   - Add a new attr TCA_EXT_WARN_MSG to report TC (offload) warning
     messages with notifications for debug.

   - Allow offloading of UDP NEW connections via act_ct.

   - Add support for per action HW stats in TC.

   - Support hardware miss to TC action (continue processing in SW from
     a specific point in the action chain).

   - Warn if old Wireless Extension user space interface is used with
     modern cfg80211/mac80211 drivers. Do not support Wireless
     Extensions for Wi-Fi 7 devices at all. Everyone should switch to
     using nl80211 interface instead.

   - Improve the CAN bit timing configuration. Use extack to return
     error messages directly to user space, update the SJW handling,
     including the definition of a new default value that will benefit
     CAN-FD controllers, by increasing their oscillator tolerance.
