Merge tag 'driver-core-7.1-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/driver-core/driver-core

Pull driver core updates from Danilo Krummrich:
"debugfs:
- Fix NULL pointer dereference in debugfs_create_str()
- Fix misplaced EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL for debugfs_create_str()
- Fix soundwire debugfs NULL pointer dereference from uninitialized
firmware_file

device property:
- Make fwnode flags modifications thread safe; widen the field to
unsigned long and use set_bit() / clear_bit() based accessors
- Document how to check for the property presence

devres:
- Separate struct devres_node from its "subclasses" (struct devres,
struct devres_group); give struct devres_node its own release and
free callbacks for per-type dispatch
- Introduce struct devres_action for devres actions, avoiding the
ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN alignment overhead of struct devres
- Export struct devres_node and its init/add/remove/dbginfo
primitives for use by Rust Devres<T>
- Fix missing node debug info in devm_krealloc()
- Use guard(spinlock_irqsave) where applicable; consolidate unlock
paths in devres_release_group()

driver_override:
- Convert PCI, WMI, vdpa, s390/cio, s390/ap, and fsl-mc to the
generic driver_override infrastructure, replacing per-bus
driver_override strings, sysfs attributes, and match logic; fixes a
potential UAF from unsynchronized access to driver_override in bus
match() callbacks
- Simplify __device_set_driver_override() logic

kernfs:
- Send IN_DELETE_SELF and IN_IGNORED inotify events on kernfs file
and directory removal
- Add corresponding selftests for memcg

platform:
- Allow attaching software nodes when creating platform devices via a
new 'swnode' field in struct platform_device_info
- Add kerneldoc for struct platform_device_info

software node:
- Move software node initialization from postcore_initcall() to
driver_init(), making it available early in the boot process
- Move kernel_kobj initialization (ksysfs_init) earlier to support
the above
- Remove software_node_exit(); dead code in a built-in unit

SoC:
- Introduce of_machine_read_compatible() and of_machine_read_model()
OF helpers and export soc_attr_read_machine() to replace direct
accesses to of_root from SoC drivers; also enables
CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST coverage for these drivers

sysfs:
- Constify attribute group array pointers to
'const struct attribute_group *const *' in sysfs functions,
device_add_groups() / device_remove_groups(), and struct class

Rust:
- Devres:
- Embed struct devres_node directly in Devres<T> instead of going
through devm_add_action(), avoiding the extra allocation and the
unnecessary ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN alignment

- I/O:
- Turn IoCapable from a marker trait into a functional trait
carrying the raw I/O accessor implementation (io_read /
io_write), providing working defaults for the per-type Io
methods
- Add RelaxedMmio wrapper type, making relaxed accessors usable in
code generic over the Io trait
- Remove overloaded per-type Io methods and per-backend macros
from Mmio and PCI ConfigSpace

- I/O (Register):
- Add IoLoc trait and generic read/write/update methods to the Io
trait, making I/O operations parameterizable by typed locations
- Add register! macro for defining hardware register types with
typed bitfield accessors backed by Bounded values; supports
direct, relative, and array register addressing
- Add write_reg() / try_write_reg() and LocatedRegister trait
- Update PCI sample driver to demonstrate the register! macro

Example:

```
register! {
/// UART control register.
CTRL(u32) @ 0x18 {
/// Receiver enable.
19:19 rx_enable => bool;
/// Parity configuration.
14:13 parity ?=> Parity;
}

/// FIFO watermark and counter register.
WATER(u32) @ 0x2c {
/// Number of datawords in the receive FIFO.
26:24 rx_count;
/// RX interrupt threshold.
17:16 rx_water;
}
}

impl WATER {
fn rx_above_watermark(&self) -> bool {
self.rx_count() > self.rx_water()
}
}

fn init(bar: &pci::Bar<BAR0_SIZE>) {
let water = WATER::zeroed()
.with_const_rx_water::<1>(); // > 3 would not compile
bar.write_reg(water);

let ctrl = CTRL::zeroed()
.with_parity(Parity::Even)
.with_rx_enable(true);
bar.write_reg(ctrl);
}

fn handle_rx(bar: &pci::Bar<BAR0_SIZE>) {
if bar.read(WATER).rx_above_watermark() {
// drain the FIFO
}
}

fn set_parity(bar: &pci::Bar<BAR0_SIZE>, parity: Parity) {
bar.update(CTRL, |r| r.with_parity(parity));
}
```

- IRQ:
- Move 'static bounds from where clauses to trait declarations for
IRQ handler traits

- Misc:
- Enable the generic_arg_infer Rust feature
- Extend Bounded with shift operations, single-bit bool
conversion, and const get()

Misc:
- Make deferred_probe_timeout default a Kconfig option
- Drop auxiliary_dev_pm_ops; the PM core falls back to driver PM
callbacks when no bus type PM ops are set
- Add conditional guard support for device_lock()
- Add ksysfs.c to the DRIVER CORE MAINTAINERS entry
- Fix kernel-doc warnings in base.h
- Fix stale reference to memory_block_add_nid() in documentation"

Merge tag 'rust-7.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ojeda/linux

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"Toolchain and infrastructure:

- Bump the minimum Rust version to 1.85.0 (and 'bindgen' to 0.71.1).

As proposed in LPC 2025 and the Maintainers Summit [1], we are
going to follow Debian Stable's Rust versions as our minimum
versions.

Debian Trixie was released on 2025-08-09 with a Rust 1.85.0 and
'bindgen' 0.71.1 toolchain, which is a fair amount of time for e.g.
kernel developers to upgrade.

Other major distributions support a Rust version that is high
enough as well, including:

+ Arch Linux.
+ Fedora Linux.
+ Gentoo Linux.
+ Nix.
+ openSUSE Slowroll and openSUSE Tumbleweed.
+ Ubuntu 25.10 and 26.04 LTS. In addition, 24.04 LTS using
their versioned packages.

The merged patch series comes with the associated cleanups and
simplifications treewide that can be performed thanks to both
bumps, as well as documentation updates.

In addition, start using 'bindgen''s '--with-attribute-custom-enum'
feature to set the 'cfi_encoding' attribute for the 'lru_status'
enum used in Binder.

Link: https://lwn.net/Articles/1050174/ [1]

- Add experimental Kconfig option ('CONFIG_RUST_INLINE_HELPERS') that
inlines C helpers into Rust.

Essentially, it performs a step similar to LTO, but just for the
helpers, i.e. very local and fast.

It relies on 'llvm-link' and its '--internalize' flag, and requires
a compatible LLVM between Clang and 'rustc' (i.e. same major
version, 'CONFIG_RUSTC_CLANG_LLVM_COMPATIBLE'). It is only enabled
for two architectures for now.

The result is a measurable speedup in different workloads that
different users have tested. For instance, for the null block
driver, it amounts to a 2%.

- Support global per-version flags.

While we already have per-version flags in many places, we didn't
have a place to set global ones that depend on the compiler
version, i.e. in 'rust_common_flags', which sometimes is needed to
e.g. tweak the lints set per version.

Use that to allow the 'clippy::precedence' lint for Rust < 1.86.0,
since it had a change in behavior.

- Support overriding the crate name and apply it to Rust Binder,
which wanted the module to be called 'rust_binder'.

- Add the remaining '__rust_helper' annotations (started in the
previous cycle).

'kernel' crate:

- Introduce the 'const_assert!' macro: a more powerful version of
'static_assert!' that can refer to generics inside functions or
implementation bodies, e.g.:

fn f<const N: usize>() {
const_assert!(N > 1);
}

fn g<T>() {
const_assert!(size_of::<T>() > 0, "T cannot be ZST");
}

In addition, reorganize our set of build-time assertion macros
('{build,const,static_assert}!') to live in the 'build_assert'
module.

Finally, improve the docs as well to clarify how these are
different from one another and how to pick the right one to use,
and their equivalence (if any) to the existing C ones for extra
clarity.

- 'sizes' module: add 'SizeConstants' trait.

This gives us typed 'SZ_*' constants (avoiding casts) for use in
device address spaces where the address width depends on the
hardware (e.g. 32-bit MMIO windows, 64-bit GPU framebuffers, etc.),
e.g.:

let gpu_heap = 14 * u64::SZ_1M;
let mmio_window = u32::SZ_16M;

- 'clk' module: implement 'Send' and 'Sync' for 'Clk' and thus
simplify the users in Tyr and PWM.

- 'ptr' module: add 'const_align_up'.

- 'str' module: improve the documentation of the 'c_str!' macro to
explain that one should only use it for non-literal cases (for the
other case we instead use C string literals, e.g. 'c"abc"').

- Disallow the use of 'CStr::{as_ptr,from_ptr}' and clean one such
use in the 'task' module.

- 'sync' module: finish the move of 'ARef' and 'AlwaysRefCounted'
outside of the 'types' module, i.e. update the last remaining
instances and finally remove the re-exports.

- 'error' module: clarify that 'from_err_ptr' can return 'Ok(NULL)',
including runtime-tested examples.

The intention is to hopefully prevent UB that assumes the result of
the function is not 'NULL' if successful. This originated from a
case of UB I noticed in 'regulator' that created a 'NonNull' on it.

Timekeeping:

- Expand the example section in the 'HrTimer' documentation.

- Mark the 'ClockSource' trait as unsafe to ensure valid values for
'ktime_get()'.

- Add 'Delta::from_nanos()'.

'pin-init' crate:

- Replace the 'Zeroable' impls for 'Option<NonZero*>' with impls of
'ZeroableOption' for 'NonZero*'.

- Improve feature gate handling for unstable features.

- Declutter the documentation of implementations of 'Zeroable' for
tuples.

- Replace uses of 'addr_of[_mut]!' with '&raw [mut]'.

rust-analyzer:

- Add type annotations to 'generate_rust_analyzer.py'.

- Add support for scripts written in Rust ('generate_rust_target.rs',
'rustdoc_test_builder.rs', 'rustdoc_test_gen.rs').

- Refactor 'generate_rust_analyzer.py' to explicitly identify host
and target crates, improve readability, and reduce duplication.

And some other fixes, cleanups and improvements"

Merge patch series "rust: bump minimum Rust and `bindgen` versions"

As proposed in the past in e.g. LPC 2025 and the Maintainers Summit [1],
we are going to follow Debian Stable's Rust versions as our minimum
supported version.

Debian Trixie was released with a Rust 1.85.0 toolchain [2], which it
still uses to this day [3] (i.e. no update to Rust 1.85.1).

Debian Trixie was released with `bindgen` 0.71.1, which it also still
uses to this day [4].

Debian Trixie's release happened on 2025-08-09 [5], which means that a
fair amount of time has passed since its release for kernel developers
to upgrade.

Thus bump the minimum to the new versions, i.e.

- Rust: 1.78.0 -> 1.85.0
- bindgen: 0.65.1 -> 0.71.1

There are a few main parts to the series, in this order:

- A few cleanups that can be performed before the bumps.
- The Rust bump (and its cleanups).
- The `bindgen` bump (and its cleanups).
- Documentation updates.
- The `cfi_encoding` patch, added here, which needs the bump.
- The per-version flags support and a Clippy cleanup on top.

rust: support overriding crate_name

Currently you cannot filter out the crate-name argument
RUSTFLAGS_REMOVE_stem.o because the Rust filter-out invocation does not
include that particular argument. Since --crate-name is an argument that
can't be passed multiple times, this means that it's currently not
possible to override the crate name. Thus, remove the --crate-name
argument for drivers. This allows them to override the crate name using
the #![crate_name] annotation.

This affects symbol names, but has no effect on the filenames of object
files and other things generated by the build, as we always use --emit
with a fixed output filename.

The --crate-name argument is kept for the crates under rust/ for
simplicity and to avoid changing many of them by adding #![crate_name].

The rust analyzer script is updated to use rustc to obtain the crate
name of the driver crates, which picks up the right name whether it is
configured via #![crate_name] or not. For readability, the logic to
invoke 'rustc' is extracted to its own function.

Note that the crate name in the python script is not actually that
important - the only place where the name actually affects anything is
in the 'deps' array which specifies an index and name for each
dependency, and determines what that dependency is called in *this*
crate. (The same crate may be called different things in each
dependency.) Since driver crates are leaf crates, this doesn't apply and
the rustc invocation only affects the 'display_name' parameter.

boilerplate, and introduce DriverObject::Args for constructor
context

- Add dma_resv_lock helper and raw_dma_resv() accessor on GEM objects

- Clean up imports across the DRM module

- I/O:
- Merged via a signed tag from the driver-core tree: register!() macro
and I/O infrastructure improvements (IoCapable refactor, RelaxedMmio
wrapper, IoLoc trait, generic accessors, write_reg /
LocatedRegister)

- Nova (Core):
- Fix and harden the GSP command queue: correct write pointer
advancing, empty slot handling, and ring buffer indexing; add mutex
locking and make Cmdq a pinned type; distinguish wait vs no-wait
commands

- Add support for large RPCs via continuation records, splitting
oversized commands across multiple queue slots

- Simplify GSP sequencer and message handling code: remove unused
trait and Display impls, derive Debug and Zeroable where applicable,
warn on unconsumed message data

- Refactor Falcon firmware handling: create DMA objects lazily, add
PIO upload support, and use the Generic Bootloader to boot FWSEC on
Turing

- Convert all register definitions (PMC, PBUS, PFB, GC6, FUSE, PDISP,
Falcon) to the kernel register!() macro; add bounded_enum macro to
define enums usable as register fields

- Migrate all DMA usage to the new Coherent, CoherentBox, and
CoherentHandle APIs

- Harden firmware parsing with checked arithmetic throughout FWSEC,
Booter, RISC-V parsing paths

- Add debugfs support for reading GSP-RM log buffers; replace
module_pci_driver!() with explicit module init to support
module-level debugfs setup

- Various cleanups: import style, firmware parsing refactoring,
framebuffer size logging

- Rust:
- Add interop::list module providing a C linked list interface

- Extend num::Bounded with shift operations, into_bool(), and const
get() to support register bitfield manipulation

- Enable the generic_arg_infer Rust feature and add EMSGSIZE error
code

kbuild: rust: provide an option to inline C helpers into Rust

A new experimental Kconfig option, `RUST_INLINE_HELPERS` is added to
allow C helpers (which were created to allow Rust to call into
inline/macro C functions without having to re-implement the logic in
Rust) to be inlined into Rust crates without performing global LTO.

If the option is enabled, the following is performed:
* For helpers, instead of compiling them to an object file to be linked
into vmlinux, they're compiled to LLVM IR bitcode. Two versions are
generated: one for built-in code (`helpers.bc`) and one for modules
(`helpers_module.bc`, with -DMODULE defined). This ensures that C
macros/inlines that behave differently for modules (e.g. static calls)
function correctly when inlined.
* When a Rust crate or object is compiled, instead of generating an
object file, LLVM bitcode is generated.
* llvm-link is invoked with --internalize to combine the helper bitcode
with the crate bitcode. This step is similar to LTO, but this is much
faster since it only needs to inline the helpers.
* clang is invoked to turn the combined bitcode into a final object file.
* Since clang may produce LLVM bitcode when LTO is enabled, and objtool
requires ELF input, $(cmd_ld_single) is invoked to ensure the object
is converted to ELF before objtool runs.

The --internalize flag tells llvm-link to treat all symbols in
helpers.bc using `internal` linkage [1]. This matches the behavior of
`clang` on `static inline` functions, and avoids exporting the symbol
from the object file.

To ensure that RUST_INLINE_HELPERS is not incompatible with BTF, we pass
the -g0 flag when building helpers. See commit 5daa0c35a1f0 ("rust:
Disallow BTF generation with Rust + LTO") for details.

We have an intended triple mismatch of `aarch64-unknown-none` vs
`aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu`, so we pass --suppress-warnings to llvm-link
to suppress it.

I considered adding some sort of check that KBUILD_MODNAME is not
present in helpers_module.bc, but this is actually not so easy to carry
out because .bc files store strings in a weird binary format, so you
cannot just grep it for a string to check whether it ended up using
KBUILD_MODNAME anywhere.

For the rnull driver, enabling helper inlining with this patch
gives an average speedup of 2% over the set of 120 workloads that
we publish on [2].

This series also uncovered a pre-existing UB instance thanks to an
`objtool` warning which I noticed while testing the series (details
in the mailing list).

[ Some changes, apart from the rebase:

- Added "(EXPERIMENTAL)" to Kconfig as the commit mentions.

- Added `depends on ARM64 || X86_64` and `!UML` for now, since this is
experimental, other architectures may require other changes (e.g.
the issues I mentioned in the mailing list for ARM and UML) and they
are not really tested so far. So let arch maintainers pick this up
if they think it is worth it.

- Gated the `cmd_ld_single` step also into the new mode, which also
means that any possible future `objcopy` step is done after the
translation, as expected.

- Added `.gitignore` for `.bc` with exception for existing script.

- Added `part-of-*` for helpers bitcode files as discussed, and
dropped `$(if $(filter %_module.bc,$@),-DMODULE)` since `-DMODULE`
is already there (would be duplicated otherwise).

- Moved `LLVM_LINK` to keep binutils list alphabetized.

- Fixed typo in title.

- Dropped second `cmd_ld_single` commit message paragraph.

rust: add `const_assert!` macro

The macro is a more powerful version of `static_assert!` for use inside
function contexts. This is powered by inline consts, so enable the feature
for old compiler versions that does not have it stably.

While it is possible already to write `const { assert!(...) }`, this
provides a short hand that is more uniform with other assertions. It also
formats nicer with rustfmt where it will not be formatted into multiple
lines.

Two users that would route via the Rust tree are converted.

Merge commit 'f35dbac6942171dc4ce9398d1d216a59224590a9' into trace/ring-buffer/core

The commit f35dbac69421 ("ring-buffer: Fix to update per-subbuf entries of
persistent ring buffer") was a fix and merged upstream. It is needed for
some other work in the ring buffer. The current branch has the remote
buffer code that is shared with the Arm64 subsystem and can't be rebased.

Merge in the upstream commit to allow continuing of the ring buffer work.
