Pull iommufd implementation from Jason Gunthorpe:
 "iommufd is the user API to control the IOMMU subsystem as it relates
  to managing IO page tables that point at user space memory.

  It takes over from drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu_type1.c (aka the VFIO
  container) which is the VFIO specific interface for a similar idea.

  We see a broad need for extended features, some being highly IOMMU
  device specific:
   - Binding iommu_domain's to PASID/SSID
   - Userspace IO page tables, for ARM, x86 and S390
   - Kernel bypassed invalidation of user page tables
   - Re-use of the KVM page table in the IOMMU
   - Dirty page tracking in the IOMMU
   - Runtime Increase/Decrease of IOPTE size
   - PRI support with faults resolved in userspace

  Many of these HW features exist to support VM use cases - for instance
  the combination of PASID, PRI and Userspace IO Page Tables allows an
  implementation of DMA Shared Virtual Addressing (vSVA) within a guest.
  Dirty tracking enables VM live migration with SRIOV devices and PASID
  support allow creating "scalable IOV" devices, among other things.

  As these features are fundamental to a VM platform they need to be
  uniformly exposed to all the driver families that do DMA into VMs,
  which is currently VFIO and VDPA"

Pull landlock updates from Mickaël Salaün:
 "This adds file truncation support to Landlock, contributed by Günther
  Noack. As described by Günther [1], the goal of these patches is to
  work towards a more complete coverage of file system operations that
  are restrictable with Landlock.

  The known set of currently unsupported file system operations in
  Landlock is described at [2]. Out of the operations listed there,
  truncate is the only one that modifies file contents, so these patches
  should make it possible to prevent the direct modification of file
  contents with Landlock.

  The new LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE access right covers both the
  truncate(2) and ftruncate(2) families of syscalls, as well as open(2)
  with the O_TRUNC flag. This includes usages of creat() in the case
  where existing regular files are overwritten.

  Additionally, this introduces a new Landlock security blob associated
  with opened files, to track the available Landlock access rights at
  the time of opening the file. This is in line with Unix's general
  approach of checking the read and write permissions during open(), and
  associating this previously checked authorization with the opened
  file. An ongoing patch documents this use case [3].

  In order to treat truncate(2) and ftruncate(2) calls differently in an
  LSM hook, we split apart the existing security_path_truncate hook into
  security_path_truncate (for truncation by path) and
  security_file_truncate (for truncation of previously opened files)"

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "This was a not-too-busy cycle for documentation; highlights include:

   - The beginnings of a set of translations into Spanish, headed up by
     Carlos Bilbao

   - More Chinese translations

   - A change to the Sphinx "alabaster" theme by default for HTML
     generation.

     Unlike the previous default (Read the Docs), alabaster is shipped
     with Sphinx by default, reducing the number of other dependencies
     that need to be installed. It also (IMO) produces a cleaner and
     more readable result.

   - The ability to render the documentation into the texinfo format
     (something Sphinx could always do, we just never wired it up until
     now)

  Plus the usual collection of typo fixes, build-warning fixes, and
  minor updates"

This is the basic infrastructure of a new miscdevice to hold the iommufd
IOCTL API.

It provides:
 - A miscdevice to create file descriptors to run the IOCTL interface over

 - A table based ioctl dispatch and centralized extendable pre-validation
   step

 - An xarray mapping userspace ID's to kernel objects. The design has
   multiple inter-related objects held within in a single IOMMUFD fd

 - A simple usage count to build a graph of object relations and protect
   against hostile userspace racing ioctls

The only IOCTL provided in this patch is the generic 'destroy any object
by handle' operation.

<content type='text'>
Extend the DVB frontend parameter enums with additional values specified
by the DVB-C2 (ETSI EN 302 769) and DVB-S2X (ETSI EN 302 307-2)
standards to be ready for frontend drivers for such receivers.

While most parameters will be "read-only" due to being autodetected by
the receiver and only being reported back for informational purposes,
the addition of SYS_DVBC2 to the delivery systems enum is required,
because there are DVB-C2 capable receivers which are not capable of
DVB-C/C2 autodetection and thus need this enum value to be explicitly
instructed to search for a DVB-C2 signal.

As for DVB-S2X, as that is an extension to DVB-S2, the same delivery
system enum as for DVB-S2 can be used.

Add the additional enum values and comments to the documentation.
