Pull staging driver fix from Greg KH:
 "Here is a single staging driver "fix" for 6.4-rc7. I've been sitting
  on it in my tree for many weeks as it is just a simple documentation
  update, with the hope that maybe some other staging driver fixes would
  need to be merged for 6.4-final, but that does not seem to be the
  case.

  So please, pull in this one documentation update so that Aaro doesn't
  get emails going forward that he can't do anything about"

Initialize hs_settle to 0 to avoid this compiler warning:

imx8mq-mipi-csi2.c: In function 'imx8mq_mipi_csi_start_stream.part.0':
imx8mq-mipi-csi2.c:91:55: warning: 'hs_settle' may be used uninitialized [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

It's a false positive, but it is too complicated for the compiler to detect that.

Fix a compiler warning:

include/linux/dev_printk.h:144:31: warning: 'high' may be used uninitialized [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

      |             ^~~~

'high' is indeed uninitialized after the ov_read_reg8() call failed, so there is no
point showing the value. Just say that the read failed. But low can also be used
uninitialized later, so just make it more robust and properly zero the high and low
variables.

I gave up using MIPS OCTEON hardware after the drivers were deleted from
staging in 2019. Afterwards, the driver seems to be added back but the TODO
contact name was not updated accordingly. Delete my name, as I still get
mails from people asking help with the driver and their systems.

Pull module updates from Luis Chamberlain:
 "The summary of the changes for this pull requests is:

   - Song Liu's new struct module_memory replacement

   - Nick Alcock's MODULE_LICENSE() removal for non-modules

   - My cleanups and enhancements to reduce the areas where we vmalloc
     module memory for duplicates, and the respective debug code which
     proves the remaining vmalloc pressure comes from userspace.

  Most of the changes have been in linux-next for quite some time except
  the minor fixes I made to check if a module was already loaded prior
  to allocating the final module memory with vmalloc and the respective
  debug code it introduces to help clarify the issue. Although the
  functional change is small it is rather safe as it can only *help*
  reduce vmalloc space for duplicates and is confirmed to fix a bootup
  issue with over 400 CPUs with KASAN enabled. I don't expect stable
  kernels to pick up that fix as the cleanups would have also had to
  have been picked up. Folks on larger CPU systems with modules will
  want to just upgrade if vmalloc space has been an issue on bootup.

  Given the size of this request, here's some more elaborate details:

  The functional change change in this pull request is the very first
  patch from Song Liu which replaces the 'struct module_layout' with a
  new 'struct module_memory'. The old data structure tried to put
  together all types of supported module memory types in one data
  structure, the new one abstracts the differences in memory types in a
  module to allow each one to provide their own set of details. This
  paves the way in the future so we can deal with them in a cleaner way.
  If you look at changes they also provide a nice cleanup of how we
  handle these different memory areas in a module. This change has been
  in linux-next since before the merge window opened for v6.3 so to
  provide more than a full kernel cycle of testing. It's a good thing as
  quite a bit of fixes have been found for it.

  Jason Baron then made dynamic debug a first class citizen module user
  by using module notifier callbacks to allocate / remove module
  specific dynamic debug information.

  Nick Alcock has done quite a bit of work cross-tree to remove module
  license tags from things which cannot possibly be module at my request
  so to:

   a) help him with his longer term tooling goals which require a
      deterministic evaluation if a piece a symbol code could ever be
      part of a module or not. But quite recently it is has been made
      clear that tooling is not the only one that would benefit.
      Disambiguating symbols also helps efforts such as live patching,
      kprobes and BPF, but for other reasons and R&amp;D on this area is
      active with no clear solution in sight.

   b) help us inch closer to the now generally accepted long term goal
      of automating all the MODULE_LICENSE() tags from SPDX license tags

  In so far as a) is concerned, although module license tags are a no-op
  for non-modules, tools which would want create a mapping of possible
  modules can only rely on the module license tag after the commit
  8b41fc4454e ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without
  Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf").

  Nick has been working on this *for years* and AFAICT I was the only
  one to suggest two alternatives to this approach for tooling. The
  complexity in one of my suggested approaches lies in that we'd need a
  possible-obj-m and a could-be-module which would check if the object
  being built is part of any kconfig build which could ever lead to it
  being part of a module, and if so define a new define
  -DPOSSIBLE_MODULE [0].

  A more obvious yet theoretical approach I've suggested would be to
  have a tristate in kconfig imply the same new -DPOSSIBLE_MODULE as
  well but that means getting kconfig symbol names mapping to modules
  always, and I don't think that's the case today. I am not aware of
  Nick or anyone exploring either of these options. Quite recently Josh
  Poimboeuf has pointed out that live patching, kprobes and BPF would
  benefit from resolving some part of the disambiguation as well but for
  other reasons. The function granularity KASLR (fgkaslr) patches were
  mentioned but Joe Lawrence has clarified this effort has been dropped
  with no clear solution in sight [1].

  In the meantime removing module license tags from code which could
  never be modules is welcomed for both objectives mentioned above. Some
  developers have also welcomed these changes as it has helped clarify
  when a module was never possible and they forgot to clean this up, and
  so you'll see quite a bit of Nick's patches in other pull requests for
  this merge window. I just picked up the stragglers after rc3. LWN has
  good coverage on the motivation behind this work [2] and the typical
  cross-tree issues he ran into along the way. The only concrete blocker
  issue he ran into was that we should not remove the MODULE_LICENSE()
  tags from files which have no SPDX tags yet, even if they can never be
  modules. Nick ended up giving up on his efforts due to having to do
  this vetting and backlash he ran into from folks who really did *not
  understand* the core of the issue nor were providing any alternative /
  guidance. I've gone through his changes and dropped the patches which
  dropped the module license tags where an SPDX license tag was missing,
  it only consisted of 11 drivers. To see if a pull request deals with a
  file which lacks SPDX tags you can just use:

    ./scripts/spdxcheck.py -f \
	$(git diff --name-only commid-id | xargs echo)

  You'll see a core module file in this pull request for the above, but
  that's not related to his changes. WE just need to add the SPDX
  license tag for the kernel/module/kmod.c file in the future but it
  demonstrates the effectiveness of the script.

  Most of Nick's changes were spread out through different trees, and I
  just picked up the slack after rc3 for the last kernel was out. Those
  changes have been in linux-next for over two weeks.

  The cleanups, debug code I added and final fix I added for modules
  were motivated by David Hildenbrand's report of boot failing on a
  systems with over 400 CPUs when KASAN was enabled due to running out
  of virtual memory space. Although the functional change only consists
  of 3 lines in the patch "module: avoid allocation if module is already
  present and ready", proving that this was the best we can do on the
  modules side took quite a bit of effort and new debug code.

  The initial cleanups I did on the modules side of things has been in
  linux-next since around rc3 of the last kernel, the actual final fix
  for and debug code however have only been in linux-next for about a
  week or so but I think it is worth getting that code in for this merge
  window as it does help fix / prove / evaluate the issues reported with
  larger number of CPUs. Userspace is not yet fixed as it is taking a
  bit of time for folks to understand the crux of the issue and find a
  proper resolution. Worst come to worst, I have a kludge-of-concept [3]
  of how to make kernel_read*() calls for modules unique / converge
  them, but I'm currently inclined to just see if userspace can fix this
  instead"

  Once again, a busy development cycle, with lots of changes happening

  changes.

  This will make the future rust interactions with the driver core more

  for all busses and classes in the kernel.

  The changes required for this did touch many individual classes and
  busses as many callbacks were changed to take const * parameters
  instead. All of these changes have been submitted to the various
  subsystem maintainers, giving them plenty of time to review, and most
  of them actually did so.

Pull spi updates from Mark Brown:
 "A fairly standard release for SPI with the exception of a change to
  the API for specifying chip selects done in preparation for supporting
  devices with more than one chip select, this required some mechanical
  changes throughout the tree which have been cooking in -next happily
  for a while.

  There's also a new API to allow us to support TPM chips on half duplex
  controllers.

  Summary:

   - Refactoring in preparation for supporting multiple chip selects for
     a single device, needed by some flash devices, which required a
     change in the SPI device API visible throughout the tree

   - Support for hardware assisted interaction with SPI TPMs on half
     duplex controllers, implemented on nVidia Tedra210 QuadSPI

   - Optimisation for large transfers on fsl-cpm devices

   - Cleanups around device property use which fix some sisues with
     fwnode

   - Use of both void remove() and devm_platform_.*ioremap_resource()

   - Support for AMD Pensando Elba, Amlogic A1, Cadence device mode,
     Intel MetorLake-S and StarFive J7110 QuadSPI"

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "Core:

   - Introduce a config option to tweak MAX_SKB_FRAGS. Increasing the
     default value allows for better BIG TCP performances

   - Reduce compound page head access for zero-copy data transfers

   - RPS/RFS improvements, avoiding unneeded NET_RX_SOFTIRQ when
     possible

   - Threaded NAPI improvements, adding defer skb free support and
     unneeded softirq avoidance

   - Address dst_entry reference count scalability issues, via false
     sharing avoidance and optimize refcount tracking

   - Add lockless accesses annotation to sk_err[_soft]

   - Optimize again the skb struct layout

   - Extends the skb drop reasons to make it usable by multiple
     subsystems

   - Better const qualifier awareness for socket casts

  BPF:

   - Add skb and XDP typed dynptrs which allow BPF programs for more
     ergonomic and less brittle iteration through data and
     variable-sized accesses

   - Add a new BPF netfilter program type and minimal support to hook
     BPF programs to netfilter hooks such as prerouting or forward

   - Add more precise memory usage reporting for all BPF map types

   - Adds support for using {FOU,GUE} encap with an ipip device
     operating in collect_md mode and add a set of BPF kfuncs for
     controlling encap params

   - Allow BPF programs to detect at load time whether a particular
     kfunc exists or not, and also add support for this in light
     skeleton

   - Bigger batch of BPF verifier improvements to prepare for upcoming
     BPF open-coded iterators allowing for less restrictive looping
     capabilities

   - Rework RCU enforcement in the verifier, add kptr_rcu and enforce
     BPF programs to NULL-check before passing such pointers into kfunc

   - Add support for kptrs in percpu hashmaps, percpu LRU hashmaps and
     in local storage maps

   - Enable RCU semantics for task BPF kptrs and allow referenced kptr
     tasks to be stored in BPF maps

   - Add support for refcounted local kptrs to the verifier for allowing
     shared ownership, useful for adding a node to both the BPF list and
     rbtree

   - Add BPF verifier support for ST instructions in
     convert_ctx_access() which will help new -mcpu=v4 clang flag to
     start emitting them

   - Add ARM32 USDT support to libbpf

   - Improve bpftool's visual program dump which produces the control
     flow graph in a DOT format by adding C source inline annotations

  Protocols:

   - IPv4: Allow adding to IPv4 address a 'protocol' tag. Such value
     indicates the provenance of the IP address

   - IPv6: optimize route lookup, dropping unneeded R/W lock acquisition

   - Add the handshake upcall mechanism, allowing the user-space to
     implement generic TLS handshake on kernel's behalf

   - Bridge: support per-{Port, VLAN} neighbor suppression, increasing
     resilience to nodes failures

   - SCTP: add support for Fair Capacity and Weighted Fair Queueing
     schedulers

   - MPTCP: delay first subflow allocation up to its first usage. This
     will allow for later better LSM interaction

   - xfrm: Remove inner/outer modes from input/output path. These are
     not needed anymore

   - WiFi:
      - reduced neighbor report (RNR) handling for AP mode
      - HW timestamping support
      - support for randomized auth/deauth TA for PASN privacy
      - per-link debugfs for multi-link
      - TC offload support for mac80211 drivers
      - mac80211 mesh fast-xmit and fast-rx support
      - enable Wi-Fi 7 (EHT) mesh support

  Netfilter:

   - Add nf_tables 'brouting' support, to force a packet to be routed
     instead of being bridged

   - Update bridge netfilter and ovs conntrack helpers to handle IPv6
     Jumbo packets properly, i.e. fetch the packet length from
     hop-by-hop extension header. This is needed for BIT TCP support

   - The iptables 32bit compat interface isn't compiled in by default
     anymore

   - Move ip(6)tables builtin icmp matches to the udptcp one. This has
     the advantage that icmp/icmpv6 match doesn't load the
     iptables/ip6tables modules anymore when iptables-nft is used

   - Extended netlink error report for netdevice in flowtables and
     netdev/chains. Allow for incrementally add/delete devices to netdev
     basechain. Allow to create netdev chain without device

  Driver API:

   - Remove redundant Device Control Error Reporting Enable, as PCI core
     has already error reporting enabled at enumeration time

   - Move Multicast DB netlink handlers to core, allowing devices other
     then bridge to use them

   - Allow the page_pool to directly recycle the pages from safely
     localized NAPI

   - Implement lockless TX queue stop/wake combo macros, allowing for
     further code de-duplication and sanitization

   - Add YNL support for user headers and struct attrs

   - Add partial YNL specification for devlink

   - Add partial YNL specification for ethtool

   - Add tc-mqprio and tc-taprio support for preemptible traffic classes

   - Add tx push buf len param to ethtool, specifies the maximum number
     of bytes of a transmitted packet a driver can push directly to the
     underlying device

   - Add basic LED support for switch/phy

   - Add NAPI documentation, stop relaying on external links

   - Convert dsa_master_ioctl() to netdev notifier. This is a
     preparatory work to make the hardware timestamping layer selectable
     by user space

   - Add transceiver support and improve the error messages for CAN-FD
     controllers
