Pull char / misc / iio driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big char/misc/iio and other small driver subsystem pull
  request for 6.16-rc1.

  Overall, a lot of individual changes, but nothing major, just the
  normal constant forward progress of new device support and cleanups to
  existing subsystems. Highlights in here are:

   - Large IIO driver updates and additions and device tree changes

   - Android binder bugfixes and logfile fixes

   - mhi driver updates

   - comedi driver updates

   - counter driver updates and additions

   - coresight driver updates and additions

   - echo driver removal as there are no in-kernel users of it

   - nvmem driver updates

   - spmi driver updates

   - new amd-sbi driver "subsystem" and drivers added

   - rust miscdriver binding documentation fix

   - other small driver fixes and updates (uio, w1, acrn, hpet,
     xillybus, cardreader drivers, fastrpc and others)

  All of these have been in linux-next for quite a while with no
  reported problems"

Pull vfs directory lookup updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains cleanups for the lookup_one*() family of helpers.

  We expose a set of functions with names containing "lookup_one_len"
  and others without the "_len". This difference has nothing to do with
  "len". It's rater a historical accident that can be confusing.

  The functions without "_len" take a "mnt_idmap" pointer. This is found
  in the "vfsmount" and that is an important question when choosing
  which to use: do you have a vfsmount, or are you "inside" the
  filesystem. A related question is "is permission checking relevant
  here?".

  nfsd and cachefiles *do* have a vfsmount but *don't* use the non-_len
  functions. They pass nop_mnt_idmap and refuse to work on filesystems
  which have any other idmap.

  This work changes nfsd and cachefile to use the lookup_one family of
  functions and to explictily pass &amp;nop_mnt_idmap which is consistent
  with all other vfs interfaces used where &amp;nop_mnt_idmap is explicitly
  passed.

  The remaining uses of the "_one" functions do not require permission
  checks so these are renamed to be "_noperm" and the permission
  checking is removed.

  This series also changes these lookup function to take a qstr instead
  of separate name and len. In many cases this simplifies the call"

* tag 'vfs-6.16-rc1.async.dir' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs:
  VFS: change lookup_one_common and lookup_noperm_common to take a qstr
  Use try_lookup_noperm() instead of d_hash_and_lookup() outside of VFS
  VFS: rename lookup_one_len family to lookup_noperm and remove permission check
  cachefiles: Use lookup_one() rather than lookup_one_len()
  nfsd: Use lookup_one() rather than lookup_one_len()

Commit e77aff5528a18 ("binderfs: fix use-after-free in binder_devices")
addressed a use-after-free where devices could be released without first
being removed from the binder_devices list. However, there is a similar
path in binder_free_proc() that was missed:

<title>binder: Create safe versions of binder log files</title>

<content type='text'>
Binder defines several seq_files that can be accessed via debugfs or
binderfs. Some of these files (e.g., 'state' and 'transactions')
contain more granular information about binder's internal state that
is helpful for debugging, but they also leak userspace address data
through user-defined 'cookie' or 'ptr' values. Consequently, access
to these files must be heavily restricted.

Add two new files, 'state_hashed' and 'transactions_hashed', that
reproduce the information in the original files but use the kernel's
raw pointer obfuscation to hash any potential user addresses. This
approach allows systems to grant broader access to the new files
without having to change the security policy around the existing ones.

In practice, userspace populates these fields with user addresses, but
within the driver, these values only serve as unique identifiers for
their associated binder objects. Consequently, binder logs can
obfuscate these values and still retain meaning. While this strategy
prevents leaking information about the userspace memory layout in the
existing log files, it also decouples log messages about binder
objects from their user-defined identifiers.

<content type='text'>
The binder driver outputs information about each dead binder node by
iterating over the dead nodes list, and it prints the state of each live
node in the system by traversing each binder_proc's proc-&gt;nodes tree.
Both cases require similar logic to maintain the global lock ordering
while accessing each node.

Create a helper function to synchronize around printing binder nodes in
a list. Opportunistically make minor cosmetic changes to binder print
functions.

This 'stress-ng' workload causes the concurrent deletions from
'binder_devices' and so requires full-featured synchronization
to prevent list corruption.

I've found this issue independently but pretty sure that syzbot did
the same, so Reported-by: and Closes: should be applicable here as well.

The lookup_one_len family of functions is (now) only used internally by
a filesystem on itself either
- in a context where permission checking is irrelevant such as by a
  virtual filesystem populating itself, or xfs accessing its ORPHANAGE
  or dquota accessing the quota file; or
- in a context where a permission check (MAY_EXEC on the parent) has just
  been performed such as a network filesystem finding in "silly-rename"
  file in the same directory.  This is also the context after the
  _parentat() functions where currently lookup_one_qstr_excl() is used.

So the permission check is pointless.

The name "one_len" is unhelpful in understanding the purpose of these
functions and should be changed.  Most of the callers pass the len as
"strlen()" so using a qstr and QSTR() can simplify the code.

This patch renames these functions (include lookup_positive_unlocked()
which is part of the family despite the name) to have a name based on
"lookup_noperm".  They are changed to receive a 'struct qstr' instead
of separate name and len.  In a few cases the use of QSTR() results in a
new call to strlen().

try_lookup_noperm() takes a pointer to a qstr instead of the whole
qstr.  This is consistent with d_hash_and_lookup() (which is nearly
identical) and useful for lookup_noperm_unlocked().

The new lookup_noperm_common() doesn't take a qstr yet.  That will be
tidied up in a subsequent patch.
