We had a good run, but after 4 weeks of use we heard someone
asking about pw-bot commands. Let's explain its existence
in the docs. It's not a complete documentation but hopefully
it's enough for the casual contributor. The project and scope
are in flux so the details would likely become out of date,
if we were to document more in depth.

Here is the "big" set of char/misc and other driver subsystems for
6.4-rc1.
It's pretty big, but due to the removal of pcmcia drivers, almost breaks
even for number of lines added vs. removed, a nice change.
Included in here are:
- removal of unused PCMCIA drivers (finally!)
- Interconnect driver updates and additions
- Lots of IIO driver updates and additions
- MHI driver updates
- Coresight driver updates
- NVMEM driver updates, which required some OF updates
- W1 driver updates and a new maintainer to manage the subsystem
- FPGA driver updates
- New driver subsystem, CDX, for AMD systems
- lots of other small driver updates and additions
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues.

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.

The "Select the recipients for your patch" part about CC-ing mailing
lists is a bit vague and might be understood that only some lists should
be Cc-ed. That's not what most of the maintainers expect. For given
code, associated mailing list must always be CC-ed, because the list is
used for reviewing and testing patches. Example are the Devicetree
bindings patches, which are tested iff Devicetree mailing list is CC-ed.

Since v6.3, checkpatch.pl now complains about the use of "Closes:" tags
followed by a link [1]. It also complains if a "Reported-by:" tag is
followed by a "Closes:" one [2].
As detailed in the first patch, this "Closes:" tag is used for a bit of
time, mainly by DRM and MPTCP subsystems. It is used by some bug trackers
to automate the closure of issues when a patch is accepted. It is even
planned to use this tag with bugzilla.kernel.org [3].
The first patch updates the documentation to explain what is this
"Closes:" tag and how/when to use it. The second patch modifies
checkpatch.pl to stop complaining about it.
The DRM maintainers and their mailing list have been added in Cc as they
are probably interested by these two patches as well.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/3b036087d80b8c0e07a46a1dbaaf4ad0d018f8d5.1674217480.git.linux@leemhuis.info/

[3] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/20230315181205.f3av7h6owqzzw64p@meerkat.local/
This patch (of 5):
Making sure a bug tracker is up to date is not an easy task. For example,
a first version of a patch fixing a tracked issue can be sent a long time
after having created the issue. But also, it can take some time to have
this patch accepted upstream in its final form. When it is done, someone
-- probably not the person who accepted the patch -- has to remember about
closing the corresponding issue.
This task of closing and tracking the patch can be done automatically by
bug trackers like GitLab [1], GitHub [2] and hopefully soon [3]
bugzilla.kernel.org when the appropriated tag is used. The two first ones
accept multiple tags but it is probably better to pick one.
According to commit 76f381bb77 ("checkpatch: warn when unknown tags are used for links"),
the "Closes" tag seems to have been used in the past by a few people and
it is supported by popular bug trackers. Here is how it has been used in
the past:
$ git log --no-merges --format=email -P --grep='^Closes: http' | \
grep '^Closes: http' | cut -d/ -f3-5 | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn
391 gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel
79 github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp_net-next
8 gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/msm
3 gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd
2 gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa
1 patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/73320
1 gitlab.freedesktop.org/lima/linux
1 gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/nouveau
1 github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux
1 bugzilla.netfilter.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1579
1 bugzilla.netfilter.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1543
1 bugzilla.netfilter.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1436
1 bugzilla.netfilter.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1427
1 bugs.debian.org/625804
Likely here, the "Closes" tag was only properly used with GitLab and
GitHub. We can also see that it has been used quite a few times (and
still used recently) and this is then not a "random tag that makes no
sense" like it was the case with "BugLink" recently [4]. It has also been
misused but that was a long time ago, when it was common to use many
different random tags.
checkpatch.pl script should then stop complaining about this "Closes" tag.
As suggested by Thorsten [5], if this tag is accepted, it should first be
described in the documentation. This is what is done here in this patch.
To avoid confusion, the "Closes" should be used with any public bug
report. No need to check if the underlying bug tracker supports
automations. Having this tag with any kind of public bug reports allows
bots like regzbot to clearly identify patches fixing a specific bug and
avoid false-positives, e.g. patches mentioning it is related to an issue
but not fixing it. As suggested by Thorsten [6] again, if we follow the
same logic, the "Closes" tag should then be used after a "Reported-by"
one.
Note that thanks to this "Closes" tag, the mentioned bug trackers can also
locate where a patch has been applied in different branches and
repositories. If only the "Link" tag is used, the tracking can also be
done but the ticket will not be closed and a manual operation will be
needed. Also, these bug trackers have some safeguards: the closure is
only done if a commit having the "Closes:" tag is applied in a specific
branch. It will then not be closed if a random commit having the same tag
is published elsewhere. Also in case of closure, a notification is sent
to the owners.

As a follow-up to a discussion at the 2021 Maintainer's Summit on the
topic of maintainer recruitment and retention, the TAB took on the
task of creating a document which to help companies and other
organizations to grow in their ability to engage with the Linux Kernel
development community, using the Maturity Model[2] framework.
The goal is to encourage, in a management-friendly way, companies to
allow their engineers to contribute with the upstream Linux Kernel
development community, so we can grow the "talent pipeline" for
contributors to become respected leaders, and eventually kernel
maintainers.

These char PCMCIA drivers are buggy[1] and receive only minimal care. It
was concluded[2], that we should try to remove most pcmcia drivers
completely. Let's start with these char broken one.
Note that I also removed a UAPI header: include/uapi/linux/cm4000_cs.h.
I found only coccinelle tests mentioning some ioctl constants from that
file. But they are not actually used. Anyway, should someone complain,
we may reintroduce the header (or its parts).

Long long ago, in a more innocent time, Greg wrote the clarification for
how the DCO should work and that you couldn't make anonymous
contributions, because the sign-off needed to be something we could
check back with.
It was 2006, and nobody reacted to the wording, the whole Facebook 'real
name' controversy was a decade in the future, and nobody even thought
about it. And despite the language, we've always accepted nicknames and
that language was never meant to be any kind of exclusionary wording.
In fact, even when it became a discussion in other adjacent projects,
apparently nobody even thought to just clarify the language in the
kernel docs, and instead we had projects like the CNCF that had long
discussions about it, and wrote their own clarifications [1] of it.
Just simplify the wording to the point where it shouldn't be causing
unnecessary angst and pain, or scare away people who go by preferred
naming.

Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.3-rc1.
There's a lot of changes this development cycle, most of the work falls
into two different categories:
- fw_devlink fixes and updates. This has gone through numerous review
cycles and lots of review and testing by lots of different devices.
Hopefully all should be good now, and Saravana will be keeping a
watch for any potential regression on odd embedded systems.
- driver core changes to work to make struct bus_type able to be moved
into read-only memory (i.e. const) The recent work with Rust has
pointed out a number of areas in the driver core where we are
passing around and working with structures that really do not have
to be dynamic at all, and they should be able to be read-only making
things safer overall. This is the contuation of that work (started
last release with kobject changes) in moving struct bus_type to be
constant. We didn't quite make it for this release, but the
remaining patches will be finished up for the release after this
one, but the groundwork has been laid for this effort.
Other than that we have in here:
- debugfs memory leak fixes in some subsystems
- error path cleanups and fixes for some never-able-to-be-hit
codepaths.
- cacheinfo rework and fixes
- Other tiny fixes, full details are in the shortlog
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
problems.

Merge tag 'driver-core-6.3-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core
Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.3-rc1.
There's a lot of changes this development cycle, most of the work
falls into two different categories:
- fw_devlink fixes and updates. This has gone through numerous review
cycles and lots of review and testing by lots of different devices.
Hopefully all should be good now, and Saravana will be keeping a
watch for any potential regression on odd embedded systems.
- driver core changes to work to make struct bus_type able to be
moved into read-only memory (i.e. const) The recent work with Rust
has pointed out a number of areas in the driver core where we are
passing around and working with structures that really do not have
to be dynamic at all, and they should be able to be read-only
making things safer overall. This is the contuation of that work
(started last release with kobject changes) in moving struct
bus_type to be constant. We didn't quite make it for this release,
but the remaining patches will be finished up for the release after
this one, but the groundwork has been laid for this effort.
Other than that we have in here:
- debugfs memory leak fixes in some subsystems
- error path cleanups and fixes for some never-able-to-be-hit
codepaths.
- cacheinfo rework and fixes
- Other tiny fixes, full details are in the shortlog
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
problems"
[ Geert Uytterhoeven points out that that last sentence isn't true, and
that there's a pending report that has a fix that is queued up - Linus ]

Encourage developers to place Link: tag pointing to the report when they
are using Reported-by: tags. Those links are often extremely useful for
any code archaeologist that wants to know more about the backstory of a
change than the commit message provides. That includes maintainers
higher up in the patch-flow hierarchy, which is why Linus asks
developers to add such links [1, 2, 3]. To quote [1]:
> Again, the commit has a link to the patch *submission*, which is
> almost entirely useless. There's no link to the actual problem the
> patch fixes.

> in the commit, but I don't have a clue what the actual report was, and
> there really isn't enough information in the commit itself, except for
> a fairly handwavy "Device drivers might, for instance, still need to
> flush operations.."
>
> I don't want to know what device drivers _might_ do. I would want to
> have an actual pointer to what they do and where.
Another reason why these links are wanted: the ongoing regression
tracking efforts can only scale with them, as they allow the regression
tracking bot 'regzbot' to automatically connect tracked reports with
patches that are posted or committed to fix tracked regressions.

It is finally becoming increasingly rare to find a distribution that
still ships with gnupg-1.x, so remove the last vestiges of "gpg" vs
"gpg2" from documentation.
Similarly, starting with GnuPG 2.2 and above, the default --gen-key
operation creates ed25519/cv25519 keypairs, so update all example
command outputs to use that combination instead of rsa2048.
Lastly, add a few wording tweaks and remove links that lead to stale
information (e.g. hardware tokens overview from 2017).

The netdev-FAQ document has grown over the years to the point
where finding information in it is somewhat challenging.
The length of the questions prevents readers from locating
content that's relevant at a glance.
Convert to a more standard documentation format with sections
and sub-sections rather than questions and answers.
The content edits are limited to what's necessary to change
the format, and very minor clarifications.

The existing table was a bit outdated.
3.16 was EOL in 2020.
4.4 was EOL in 2022.
5.10 is new in 2020.
5.15 is new in 2021.
We'll see if 6.1 becomes LTS in 2022.
Rather than keep this table updated, it does duplicate information from
multiple kernel.org pages. Make one less duplication site that needs to
be updated and simply refer to the kernel.org page on releases.

Some of us gotten used to producing large quantities of peer feedback
at work, every 3 or 6 months. Extending the same courtesy to community
members seems like a logical step. It may be hard for some folks to
get validation of how important their work is internally, especially

The concept of "peer feedback" may be a hyperscaler / silicon valley
thing so YMMV. Hopefully we can build more context as we go.

GNU Make 3.81 fails in CONFIG_RUST=y builds.
rust/Makefile:105: *** multiple target patterns. Stop.
make[1]: *** [prepare] Error 2
make: *** [__sub-make] Error 2
The error message is unclear, but the reason is because the 'private'
keyword is only supported since GNU Make 3.82.
GNU Make 3.81 is still able to build the kernel when CONFIG_RUST is
disabled, but it might be a good timing to raise the minimal GNU Make
version. Perhaps, I am the last person who was testing GNU Make 3.81.
GNU Make 3.81 was released in 2006, GNU Make 3.82 in 2010.

Pull kernel hardening updates from Kees Cook:
"Most of the collected changes here are fixes across the tree for
various hardening features (details noted below).
The most notable new feature here is the addition of the memcpy()
overflow warning (under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE), which is the next step
on the path to killing the common class of "trivially detectable"
buffer overflow conditions (i.e. on arrays with sizes known at compile
time) that have resulted in many exploitable vulnerabilities over the
years (e.g. BleedingTooth).
This feature is expected to still have some undiscovered false
positives. It's been in -next for a full development cycle and all the
reported false positives have been fixed in their respective trees.
All the known-bad code patterns we could find with Coccinelle are also
either fixed in their respective trees or in flight.
The commit message in commit 54d9469bc5 ("fortify: Add run-time WARN
for cross-field memcpy()") for the feature has extensive details, but
I'll repeat here that this is a warning _only_, and is not intended to
actually block overflows (yet). The many patches fixing array sizes
and struct members have been landing for several years now, and we're
finally able to turn this on to find any remaining stragglers.
Summary:

Linus notes [1] that the introduction of new code that uses VM_BUG_ON()
is just as bad as BUG_ON(), because it will crash the kernel on
distributions that enable CONFIG_DEBUG_VM (like Fedora):
VM_BUG_ON() has the exact same semantics as BUG_ON. It is literally
no different, the only difference is "we can make the code smaller
because these are less important". [2]
This resulted in a more generic discussion about usage of BUG() and
friends. While there might be corner cases that still deserve a BUG_ON(),
most BUG_ON() cases should simply use WARN_ON_ONCE() and implement a
recovery path if reasonable:
The only possible case where BUG_ON can validly be used is "I have
some fundamental data corruption and cannot possibly return an
error". [2]
As a very good approximation is the general rule:
"absolutely no new BUG_ON() calls _ever_" [2]
... not even if something really shouldn't ever happen and is merely for
documenting that an invariant always has to hold. However, there are sill
exceptions where BUG_ON() may be used:
If you have a "this is major internal corruption, there's no way we can
continue", then BUG_ON() is appropriate. [3]
There is only one good BUG_ON():
Now, that said, there is one very valid sub-form of BUG_ON():
BUILD_BUG_ON() is absolutely 100% fine. [2]
While WARN will also crash the machine with panic_on_warn set, that's
exactly to be expected:
So we have two very different cases: the "virtual machine with good
logging where a dead machine is fine" - use 'panic_on_warn'. And
the actual real hardware with real drivers, running real loads by
users. [4]
The basic idea is that warnings will similarly get reported by users
and be found during testing. However, in contrast to a BUG(), there is a
way to actually influence the expected behavior (e.g., panic_on_warn)
and to eventually keep the machine alive to extract some debug info.
Ingo notes that not all WARN_ON_ONCE cases need recovery. If we don't ever
expect this code to trigger in any case, recovery code is not really
helpful.
I'd prefer to keep all these warnings 'simple' - i.e. no attempted
recovery & control flow, unless we ever expect these to trigger.
[5]
There have been different rules floating around that were never properly
documented. Let's try to clarify.

Most of the documentation for Rust is written within the source code
itself, as it is idiomatic for Rust projects. This applies to both
the shared infrastructure at `rust/` as well as any other Rust module
(e.g. drivers) written across the kernel.
However, these documents contain general information that does not
fit particularly well in the source code, like the Quick Start guide.
It also contains a few other small changes elsewhere in the
documentation folder.

The entire file blames back to the start of git
(minus whitespace from the RST translation and a typo fix):
* there are changelog comments for March 1994 through to Linux 2.5.74
* struct tty_ldisc is two pointers nowadays, so naturally no magic
* GDA_MAGIC is defined but unused, and it's been this way
since start-of-git
* M3_CARD_MAGIC isn't defined, because
commit d56b9b9c46 ("[PATCH] The scheduled removal of some OSS
drivers") removed the entire driver in 2006
* CS_CARD_MAGIC likewise since
commit b5d425c97f ("more scheduled OSS driver removal") in 2007
* KMALLOC_MAGIC and VMALLOC_MAGIC were removed in
commit e38e0cfa48 ("[ALSA] Remove kmalloc wrappers"),
six months after start of git
* SLAB_C_MAGIC has never even appeared in git
(removed in 2.4.0-test3pre6)

misleading cruft at worst, so start with cleaning out ones that only
appear therein

One of the "legitimate" uses of strncpy() is copying a NUL-terminated
string into a fixed-size non-NUL-terminated character array. To avoid
the weaknesses and ambiguity of intent when using strncpy(), provide
replacement functions that explicitly distinguish between trailing
padding and not, and require the destination buffer size be discoverable
by the compiler.
For example:
struct obj {
int foo;
char small[4] __nonstring;
char big[8] __nonstring;
int bar;
};
struct obj p;
/* This will truncate to 4 chars with no trailing NUL */
strncpy(p.small, "hello", sizeof(p.small));
/* p.small contains 'h', 'e', 'l', 'l' */
/* This will NUL pad to 8 chars. */
strncpy(p.big, "hello", sizeof(p.big));
/* p.big contains 'h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', '\0', '\0', '\0' */
When the "__nonstring" attributes are missing, the intent of the
programmer becomes ambiguous for whether the lack of a trailing NUL
in the p.small copy is a bug. Additionally, it's not clear whether
the trailing padding in the p.big copy is _needed_. Both cases
become unambiguous with:
strtomem(p.small, "hello");
strtomem_pad(p.big, "hello", 0);
See also https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/90
Expand the memcpy KUnit tests to include these functions.

GnuPG does not use the word "master key" when referring to the subkey

As diffstat shows, we've had lots of developments in a wide range
at this time; the majority of changes are about ASoC, including
subsystem-wide cleanups, continued SOF / Intel updates and a
bunch of new drivers (as usual), while there have been some
significant (but almost invisible) improvements in ALSA core
side, too. Below are some highlights:
Core:
- Faster lookups of control elements with Xarray; normal user
won't notice, but on the devices with tons of control elements,
it can be visibly faster
- Support for input validation for controls; this will harden
for badly written drivers in general with a slight overhead
- Deferred async signal handling for working around the potential
deadlocks
- Cleanup / refactoring raw MIDI locking code
ASoC:
- Restructing of the set_fmt() callbacks for making things clearer
in situations like CODEC to CODEC links
- Clean up and modernizing the DAI naming scheme setups
- Merge of more of the Intel AVS driver stack, including some
board integrations
- New version 4 mechanism for communication with SOF DSPs
- Suppoort for dynamically selecting the PLL to use at runtime on
i.MX platforms
- Improvements for CODEC to CODEC support in the generic cards
- Support for AMD Jadeite and various machines, AMD RPL, Intel
MetorLake DSPs, Mediatek MT8186 DSPs and MT6366, nVidia Tegra
MDDRC, OPE and PEQ, NXP TFA9890, Qualcomm SDM845, WCD9335 and

Here is the set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.0-rc1.
"biggest" thing in here is some scalability improvements for kernfs for
large systems. Other than that, included in here are:
- arch topology and cache info changes that have been reviewed
and discussed a lot.
- potential error path cleanup fixes
- deferred driver probe cleanups
- firmware loader cleanups and tweaks
- documentation updates
- other small things
All of these have been in the linux-next tree for a while with no
reported problems.

earth-shaking:
- More Chinese translations, and an update to the Italian translations.
The Japanese, Korean, and traditional Chinese translations are
more-or-less unmaintained at this point, instead.
- Some build-system performance improvements.
- The removal of the archaic submitting-drivers.rst document, with the
movement of what useful material that remained into other docs.
- Improvements to sphinx-pre-install to, hopefully, give more useful
suggestions.
- A number of build-warning fixes
Plus the usual collection of typo fixes, updates, and more.
