pseries/plpks: add HCALLs for PowerVM Key Wrapping Module

2026-01-30T03:57:26Z

The hypervisor generated wrapping key is an AES-GCM-256 symmetric key which is stored in a non-volatile, secure, and encrypted storage called the Power LPAR Platform KeyStore. It has policy based protections that prevent it from being read out or exposed to the user. Implement H_PKS_GEN_KEY, H_PKS_WRAP_OBJECT, and H_PKS_UNWRAP_OBJECT HCALLs to enable using the PowerVM Key Wrapping Module (PKWM) as a new trust source for trusted keys. Disallow H_PKS_READ_OBJECT, H_PKS_SIGNED_UPDATE, and H_PKS_WRITE_OBJECT for objects with the 'wrapping key' policy set. Capture the availability status for the H_PKS_WRAP_OBJECT interface.

Documentation: use a source-read extension for the index link boilerplate

2026-01-23T18:59:34Z

The root document usually has a special :ref:`genindex` link to the generated index. This is also the case for Documentation/index.rst. The other index.rst files deeper in the directory hierarchy usually don't. For SPHINXDIRS builds, the root document isn't Documentation/index.rst, but some other index.rst in the hierarchy. Currently they have a ".. only::" block to add the index link when doing SPHINXDIRS html builds. This is obviously very tedious and repetitive. The link is also added to all index.rst files in the hierarchy for SPHINXDIRS builds, not just the root document. Put the boilerplate in a sphinx-includes/subproject-index.rst file, and include it at the end of the root document for subproject builds in an ad-hoc source-read extension defined in conf.py. For now, keep having the boilerplate in translations, because this approach currently doesn't cover translated index link headers.

docs: Remove remainders of reiserfs

2025-08-18T16:45:43Z

Reiserfs has been removed in 6.13, there are still some mentions in the documentation about it and the tools. Remove those that don't seem relevant anymore but keep references to reiserfs' r5 hash used by some code. There's one change in a script scripts/selinux/install_policy.sh but it does not seem to be relevant either.
