Pull ACPI support updates from Rafael Wysocki: "These include an update of the CMOS RTC driver and the related ACPI and x86 code that, among other things, switches it over to using the platform device interface for device binding on x86 instead of the PNP device driver interface (which allows the code in question to be simplified quite a bit), a major update of the ACPI Time and Alarm Device (TAD) driver adding an RTC class device interface to it, and updates of core ACPI drivers that remove some unnecessary and not really useful code from them. Apart from that, two drivers are converted to using the platform driver interface for device binding instead of the ACPI driver one, which is slated for removal, support for the Performance Limited register is added to the ACPI CPPC library and there are some janitorial updates of it and the related cpufreq CPPC driver, the ACPI processor driver is fixed and cleaned up, and NVIDIA vendor CPER record handler is added to the APEI GHES code. Also, the interface for obtaining a CPU UID from ACPI is consolidated across architectures and used for fixing a problem with the PCI TPH Steering Tag on ARM64, there are two updates related to ACPICA, a minor ACPI OS Services Layer (OSL) update, and a few assorted updates related to ACPI tables parsing.

RISC-V: ACPI: Add acpi_get_cpu_uid() for unified ACPI CPU UID retrieval

2026-04-06T14:55:15Z

As a step towards unifying the interface for retrieving ACPI CPU UID across architectures, introduce a new function acpi_get_cpu_uid() for riscv. While at it, add input validation to make the code more robust. And also update acpi_numa.c and rhct.c to use the new interface instead of the legacy get_acpi_id_for_cpu().

prctl: cfi: change the branch landing pad prctl()s to be more descriptive

2026-04-05T00:40:58Z

Per Linus' comments requesting the replacement of "INDIR_BR_LP" in the indirect branch tracking prctl()s with something more readable, and suggesting the use of the speculation control prctl()s as an exemplar, reimplement the prctl()s and related constants that control per-task forward-edge control flow integrity. This primarily involves two changes. First, the prctls are restructured to resemble the style of the speculative execution workaround control prctls PR_{GET,SET}_SPECULATION_CTRL, to make them easier to extend in the future. Second, the "indir_br_lp" abbrevation is expanded to "branch_landing_pads" to be less telegraphic. The kselftest and documentation is adjusted accordingly.

riscv: ptrace: cfi: expand "SS" references to "shadow stack" in uapi headers

2026-04-05T00:40:58Z

Similar to the recent change to expand "LP" to "branch landing pad", let's expand "SS" in the ptrace uapi macros to "shadow stack" as well. This aligns with the existing prctl() arguments, which use the expanded "shadow stack" names, rather than just the abbreviation.

prctl: rename branch landing pad implementation functions to be more explicit

2026-04-05T00:40:58Z

Per Linus' comments about the unreadability of abbreviations such as "indir_br_lp", rename the three prctl() implementation functions to be more explicit. This involves renaming "indir_br_lp_status" in the function names to "branch_landing_pad_state". While here, add _prctl_ into the function names, following the speculation control prctl implementation functions.

Per Linus' comments about the unreadability of abbreviations such as "LP", rename the RISC-V ptrace landing pad CFI macro names to be more explicit. This primarily involves expanding "LP" in the names to some variant of "branch landing pad."

riscv: cfi: clear CFI lock status in start_thread()

2026-04-05T00:40:58Z

When libc locks the CFI status through the following prctl: - PR_LOCK_SHADOW_STACK_STATUS - PR_LOCK_INDIR_BR_LP_STATUS A newly execd address space will inherit the lock status if it does not clear the lock bits. Since the lock bits remain set, libc will later fail to enable the landing pad and shadow stack.
