Pull CXL updates from Dave Jiang:
 "The most significant changes in this pull request is the series that
  introduces ACQUIRE() and ACQUIRE_ERR() macros to replace conditional
  locking and ease the pain points of scoped_cond_guard().

  The series also includes follow on changes that refactor the CXL
  sub-system to utilize the new macros.

  Detail summary:

   - Add documentation template for CXL conventions to document CXL
     platform quirks

   - Replace mutex_lock_io() with mutex_lock() for mailbox

   - Add location limit for fake CFMWS range for cxl_test, ARM platform
     enabling

   - CXL documentation typo and clarity fixes

   - Use correct format specifier for function cxl_set_ecs_threshold()

   - Make cxl_bus_type constant

   - Introduce new helper cxl_resource_contains_addr() to check address
     availability

   - Fix wrong DPA checking for PPR operation

   - Remove core/acpi.c and CXL core dependency on ACPI

   - Introduce ACQUIRE() and ACQUIRE_ERR() for conditional locks

   - Add CXL updates utilizing ACQUIRE() macro to remove gotos and
     improve readability

   - Add return for the dummy version of cxl_decoder_detach() without
     CONFIG_CXL_REGION

   - CXL events updates for spec r3.2

   - Fix return of __cxl_decoder_detach() error path

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "It has been a relatively busy cycle for docs, especially the build
  system:

   - The Perl kernel-doc script was added to 2.3.52pre1 just after the
     turn of the millennium. Over the following 25 years, it accumulated
     a vast amount of cruft, all in a language few people want to deal
     with anymore. Mauro's Python replacement in 6.16 faithfully
     reproduced all of the cruft in the hope of avoiding regressions.

     Now that we have a more reasonable code base, though, we can work
     on cleaning it up; many of the changes this time around are toward
     that end.

   - A reorganization of the ext4 docs into the usual TOC format.

   - Various Chinese translations and updates.

   - A new script from Mauro to help with docs-build testing.

   - A new document for linked lists

   - A sweep through MAINTAINERS fixing broken GitHub git:// repository
     links.

  ...and lots of fixes and updates"

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

   - Wrap datapath globals into net_aligned_data, to avoid false sharing

   - Preserve MSG_ZEROCOPY in forwarding (e.g. out of a container)

   - Add SO_INQ and SCM_INQ support to AF_UNIX

   - Add SIOCINQ support to AF_VSOCK

   - Add TCP_MAXSEG sockopt to MPTCP

   - Add IPv6 force_forwarding sysctl to enable forwarding per interface

   - Make TCP validation of whether packet fully fits in the receive
     window and the rcv_buf more strict. With increased use of HW
     aggregation a single "packet" can be multiple 100s of kB

   - Add MSG_MORE flag to optimize large TCP transmissions via sockmap,
     improves latency up to 33% for sockmap users

   - Convert TCP send queue handling from tasklet to BH workque

   - Improve BPF iteration over TCP sockets to see each socket exactly
     once

   - Remove obsolete and unused TCP RFC3517/RFC6675 loss recovery code

   - Support enabling kernel threads for NAPI processing on per-NAPI
     instance basis rather than a whole device. Fully stop the kernel
     NAPI thread when threaded NAPI gets disabled. Previously thread
     would stick around until ifdown due to tricky synchronization

   - Allow multicast routing to take effect on locally-generated packets

   - Add output interface argument for End.X in segment routing

   - MCTP: add support for gateway routing, improve bind() handling

   - Don't require rtnl_lock when fetching an IPv6 neighbor over Netlink

   - Add a new neighbor flag ("extern_valid"), which cedes refresh
     responsibilities to userspace. This is needed for EVPN multi-homing
     where a neighbor entry for a multi-homed host needs to be synced
     across all the VTEPs among which the host is multi-homed

   - Support NUD_PERMANENT for proxy neighbor entries

   - Add a new queuing discipline for IETF RFC9332 DualQ Coupled AQM

   - Add sequence numbers to netconsole messages. Unregister
     netconsole's console when all net targets are removed. Code
     refactoring. Add a number of selftests

   - Align IPSec inbound SA lookup to RFC 4301. Only SPI and protocol
     should be used for an inbound SA lookup

   - Support inspecting ref_tracker state via DebugFS

   - Don't force bonding advertisement frames tx to ~333 ms boundaries.
     Add broadcast_neighbor option to send ARP/ND on all bonded links

   - Allow providing upcall pid for the 'execute' command in openvswitch

   - Remove DCCP support from Netfilter's conntrack

   - Disallow multiple packet duplications in the queuing layer

   - Prevent use of deprecated iptables code on PREEMPT_RT

  Driver API:

   - Support RSS and hashing configuration over ethtool Netlink

   - Add dedicated ethtool callbacks for getting and setting hashing
     fields

   - Add support for power budget evaluation strategy in PSE /
     Power-over-Ethernet. Generate Netlink events for overcurrent etc

   - Support DPLL phase offset monitoring across all device inputs.
     Support providing clock reference and SYNC over separate DPLL
     inputs

   - Support traffic classes in devlink rate API for bandwidth
     management

   - Remove rtnl_lock dependency from UDP tunnel port configuration

Pull USB / Thunderbolt updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of USB and Thunderbolt driver changes for
  6.17-rc1.

  Lots of little things in here, mostly all small cleanups and updates,
  no major new features this development cycle. Stuff included in here
  is:

   - xhci minor tweaks for error handling

   - typec minor updates and a driver update

   - gadget driver api cleanups

   - unused function removals

   - unbind memory leak fixes

   - a few new device ids added

   - a few new devices supported for some drivers

   - other minor cleanups and changes

  All of these have been in linux-next with no reported issues, with the
  leak fixes being in the shortest amount of time, but they are
  'obviously correct' :)"

Pull gpio updates from Bartosz Golaszewski:
 "There's one new driver (Apple SMC) and extensions to existing drivers
  for supporting new HW models. A lot of different impovements across
  drivers and in core GPIO code. Details on that are in the signed tag
  as usual.

  We managed to remove some of the legacy APIs. Arnd Bergmann started to
  work on making the legacy bits optional so that we may compile them
  only for older platforms that still really need them.

  Rob Herring has done a lot of work to convert legacy .txt dt-bindings
  for GPIO controllers to YAML. There are only a few left now in the
  GPIO tree.

  A big part of the commits in this PR concern the conversion of GPIO
  drivers to using the new line value setter callbacks. This conversion
  is now complete treewide (unless I've missed something) and once all
  the changes from different trees land in mainline, I'll send you
  another PR containing a commit dropping the legacy callbacks from the
  tree.

  As the quest to pay back technical dept never really ends, we're
  starting another set of interface conversions, this time it's about
  moving fields specific to only a handful of drivers using the
  gpio-mmio helper out of the core gpio_chip structure that every
  controller implements and uses. This cycle we introduce a new set of
  APIs and convert a few drivers under drivers/gpio/, next cycle we'll
  convert remaining modules treewide (in gpio, pinctrl and mfd trees)
  and finally remove the old interfaces and move the gpio-mmio fields
  into their own structure wrapping gpio_chip.

  One last change I should mention here is the rework of the sysfs
  interface. In 2016, we introduced the GPIO character device as the
  preferred alternative to the sysfs class under /sys/class/gpio. While
  it has seen a wide adoption with the help of its user-space
  counterpart - libgpiod - there are still users who prefer the
  simplicity of sysfs.

  As far as the GPIO subsystem is concerned, the problem is not the
  existince of the GPIO class as such but rather the fact that it
  exposes the global GPIO numbers to the user-space, stopping us from
  ever being able to remove the numberspace from the kernel. To that
  end, this release we introduced a parallel, limited sysfs interface
  that doesn't expose these numbers and only implements a subset of
  features that are relevant to the existing users. This is a result of
  several discussions over the course of last year and should allow us
  to remove the legacy part some time in the future.

  Summary:

  GPIOLIB core:
   - introduce a parallel, limited sysfs user ABI that doesn't expose
     the global GPIO numbers to user-space while maintaining backward
     compatibility with the end goal of it completely replacing the
     existing interface, allowing us to remove it
   - remove the legacy devm_gpio_request() routine which has no more
     users
   - start the process of allowing to compile-out the legacy parts of
     the GPIO core for users who don't need it by introducing a new
     Kconfig option: GPIOLIB_LEGACY
   - don't use global GPIO numbers in debugfs output from the core code
     (drivers still do it, the work is ongoing)
   - start the process of moving the fields specific to the gpio-mmio
     helper out of the core struct gpio_chip into their own structure
     that wraps it: create a new header with modern interfaces and
     convert several drivers to using it
   - remove the platform data structure associated with the gpio-mmio
     helper from the kernel after having converted all remaining users
     to generic device properties
   - remove legacy struct gpio definition as it has no more users

  New drivers:
   - add the GPIO driver for the Apple System Management Controller

  Driver improvements:
   - add support for new models to gpio-adp5585, gpio-tps65219 and
     gpio-pca953x
   - extend the interrupt support in gpio-loongson-64bit
   - allow to mark the simulated GPIO lines as invalid in gpio-sim
   - convert all remaining GPIO drivers to using the new GPIO value
     setter callbacks
   - convert gpio-rcar to using simple device power management ops
     callbacks
   - don't check if current direction of a line is output before setting
     the value in gpio-pisosr and ti-fpc202: the GPIO core already
     handles that
   - also drop unneeded GPIO range checks in drivers, the core already
     makes sure we're within bounds when calling driver callbacks
   - use dev_fwnode() where applicable across GPIO drivers
   - set line value in gpio-zynqmp-modepin and gpio-twl6040 when the
     user wants to change direction of the pin to output even though
     these drivers don't need to do anything else to actually set the
     direction, otherwise a call like gpiod_direction_output(d, 1) will
     not result in the line driver high
   - remove the reduntant call to pm_runtime_mark_last_busy() from
     gpio-arizona
   - use lock guards in gpio-cadence and gpio-mxc
   - check the return values of regmap functions in gpio-wcd934x and
     gpio-tps65912
   - use better regmap interfaces in gpio-wcove and gpio-pca953x
   - remove dummy GPIO chip callbacks from several drivers in cases
     where the GPIO core can already handle their absence
   - allow building gpio-palmas as a module

  Fixes:
   - use correct bit widths (according to the documentation) in
     gpio-virtio

  Device-tree bindings:
   - convert several of the legacy .txt documents for many different
     devices to YAML, improving automatic validation
   - create a "trivial" GPIO DT schema that covers a wide range of
     simple hardware that share a set of basic GPIO properties
   - document new HW: Apple MAC SMC GPIO block and adp5589 I/O expander
   - document a new model for pca95xx
   - add and/or remove properties in YAML documents for gpio-rockchip,
     fsl,qoriq-gpio, arm,pl061 and gpio-xilinx

  Misc:
   - some minor refactoring in several places, adding/removing forward
     declarations, moving defines to better places, constify the
     arguments in some functions, remove duplicate includes, etc.
   - documentation updates"

Pull thermal control updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These update the thermal control sysfs interface and multiple thermal
  control drivers:

   - Convert EAGAIN into ENODATA in temp_show() to prevent user space
     from polling the sysfs file in vain after a failing O_NONBLOCK read
     under the assumption that the read would have blocked (Hsin-Te
     Yuan)

   - Add Wildcat Lake PCI ID to the int340x Intel processor thermal
     driver (Srinivas Pandruvada)

   - Add debugfs interface to override the temperature set by the
     firmware in the Intel platform temperature control (PTC) interface
     and add a new sysfs control attribute called thermal_tolerance to
     it (Srinivas Pandruvada)

   - Enable the stage 2 shutdown in the qcom-spmi-temp-alarm thermal
     driver and add support for more SPMI variants to it (Anjelique
     Melendez)

   - Constify the thermal_zone_device_ops structure where possible in
     several assorted thermal drivers (Christophe Jaillet)

   - Use the dev_fwnode() helper instead of of_fwnode_handle(), as it is
     more adequate, wherever possible in thermal drivers (Jiri Slaby)

   - Implement and document One-Time Programmable fuse support in the
     Rockchip thermal driver in order to increase the precision of the
     measurements (Nicolas Frattaroli)

   - Change the way the Mediatek LTVS thermal driver stores the
     initialization data sequence to support different sequences
     matching different platforms. Introduce mt7988 support with a new
     initialization sequence (Mason Chang)

   - Document the QCom TSens Milos Temperature Sensor DT bindings (Luca
     Weiss)

   - Add the fallback compatible string for MT7981 and MT8516 DT
     bindings (Aleksander Jan Bajkowski)
