tracing: Fix retry exhaustion in simple ring buffer reader swap
simple_ring_buffer_swap_reader_page() starts with retry set to 8 and
post-decrements it only after a failed link replacement. On the final
attempt, a successful replacement leaves retry at zero, while a failed
replacement leaves it at -1.
The current !retry test reverses both outcomes. It returns an error after
a successful final replacement, leaving the link update complete but the
reader bookkeeping unfinished. After a failed final replacement, it
falls through and updates the head and reader pointers as though the
replacement succeeded, which can corrupt the ring.
Treat only a negative counter as exhaustion and return the documented
-EBUSY error.

tracing/user_events: Clear copied tracing state before fork duplication
dup_task_struct() copies user_event_mm from the parent into the child,

When the child exits, user_event_mm_remove() decrements a reference

tracing: Fix use-after-free in trace_pipe read on sub-buffer order change
Writing to buffer_subbuf_size_kb calls ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set(),
which frees every sub-buffer of the ring buffer, including the reader
page, and replaces them with newly allocated ones.
Readers of trace_pipe hold pointers into those pages. ring_buffer_peek()
looks up an event under cpu_buffer->reader_lock but returns the event
pointer after dropping the lock, and peek_next_entry() then calls
ring_buffer_event_length() and ring_buffer_event_data() on it. If the
sub-buffer order is changed in that window, the reader dereferences
freed memory:

tracing: Fix use-after-free with same-name named triggers
When two hist triggers on different events are registered with the same
name=, the second one reuses the first as named_data. Both are added to
tr->hist_vars by save_hist_vars() during event_hist_trigger_parse(),
because save_hist_vars() is called before event_trigger_register() while

In the named-data branch hist_register_trigger() then frees the second
histogram's hist_data via destroy_hist_data(), but never removes its
tr->hist_vars list entry, leaving a dangling pointer and leaking the
trace_array reference it holds.
A later hist trigger that references a variable makes find_var_file()
walk tr->hist_vars and dereference the freed hist_data. The bug is

Pull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Remove unneeded semicolon
A macro ended with a semicolon that wasn't needed.
- Fix freeing cpu_buffer extra subbuffer with order greater than zero
When the cpu_buffer was being freed, its "free" page, was using
free_page() to free it when it could be more than one page.
- Hold the cpu_buffer lock when resizing the subbuffer
The freeing of the "free" page of the cpu_buffer was done without
locking. The order of the data was being saved and then the "free"
page was set to NULL. But there is a race that the "free" page could
have been updated between those two operations. Add locking around it
to prevent the race.
- Save the order of the data along with the data in the free page
The cpu_buffer would store just the data portion of the subbuffer
page in its descriptor. But it did not store the order of the data
pages. The order was being saved in the global buffer descriptor. But
this leads to races.
Have the cpu_buffer save the subbuf data along with its metadata
(which includes the order of the page) to make sure when it frees it,
it frees the correct order along with it.
- Remove the subbuf_size and use the order directly when needed
Having a size field for the size of the subbufer along with its order
allowed for races to have them get out of sync. Remove the
subbuf_size and use the order from the subbuf meta data directly
under locks.
Use the subbuf_order for other calculations in the ring buffer.
- Remove the useless "cpus" field of trace_buffer
The code has been restructured and the "cpus" field is no longer
used. Remove it.
- Remove the "mapped" field of the ring buffer and use a helper
function instead.
The "mapped" field has become a bit overused and made the code come
complex in using a counter for what is denoted as being mapped or
not. There are other fields that are set when the ring buffer is
considered mapped. Add a helper function to check those fields and
use that instead of keeping track of a counter.

In order to allow BPF programs to attach to system call trace events
(which are actually pseudo trace events built on top of raw_syscall
events), expose the BTF ID of the events. This will allow BPF
programs better precision in attaching to events.
- Use "u64" to assign to hist_field->type
Instead of using kstrdup("u64", GFP_KERNEL) to assign the
hist_field->type, just point it to "u64" instead. The

- Replace kmalloc()/strcpy() with kstrdup() for trace_printk
Instead of having two calls to copy the module format string, just
use kstrdup().
- Use __free() in trace event histograms and triggres where possible
- Use seq_buf in trace event code instead of strcat()
Instead of calculating the size of the buffer to use and filling it
with strcat(), use the seq_buf infrastructure that takes care of
making sure not to overflow the string size.
- Reject invalid preemptirq_delay_test CPU affinity
The preempt_delay_test module can take an invalid CPU affinity mask
and create confusing output. Simply have the module reject invalid
affinity masks.
- Prevent division by zero in ftrace_ops sample module code
If the ftrace_ops sample module code receives the module parameter
nr_function_calls set to zero, it can cause a division by zero error.
- Warn when an event dereferences a parameter in TP_printk()
On boot up and module load, the trace event TP_printk() is scanned
for possible bugs. As the TP_printk() code is executed when the user
reads the "trace" file and processes the data written when the
trace_event executed, the data it reads can be literally days old.
The scan currently checks for dereferencing printk formats like
"%pI6". But it does not check if the parameters themselves have a
dereference like:
TP_printk("offset %08x: value %08x",
(u32)(__entry->addr - __entry->edma->membase), __entry->value)
__entry represents the pointer to the event on the ring buffer. The
__entry->edma->membase is dereferencing a pointer on the ring buffer
to find membase, but the __entry->edma may no longer be a valid
pointer.
Warn on this case too.
- Replace some strcpy() with strscpy()
- Clean up mmiotrace events to use assign_type() macro
The assign_type() macro makes sure the event type is indeed the type
that is being parsed. The mmiotrace trace was written before that
macro was created so it just simply typecasted the pointer.
Replace the typecasting with the macro.
- Have the ENUM processing to numbers only process what is added
The code that converts ENUMs to their numbers in the trace events
scanned all events to do the processing. This was true when a module
was loaded too. That is, instead of processing just the events for
the module, it processed *all* events. Even the builtin ones that
were processed at boot up.
Add a check for the event->module matching mod if it is a module
before processing it.

Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Deprecrate ftrace_enabled in disabling ftrace
The file /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled was created when ftrace was
first introduced back in 2008. It was to be a "kill switch" if
something was to go wrong. It was also used as a way to turn off
function tracing for the latency tracers that would have it on by
default. But in 2013 (Linux 3.10) the option "function-trace" was
introduced to disable function tracing for the latency tracers as the
"ftrace_enabled" file was considered too big of a hammer and caused
too many side effects.
When live kernel patching came along, disabling ftrace via the
ftrace_enabled file would put the system into an unstable state if a
live kernel patch was installed. This created the need to mark some
function hooks as "PERMANENT".
Now there's a need for BPF usage marked as PERMANENT for the same
reasons.
The file "ftrace_enabled" usage is no longer viable. It doesn't do
what it says it does and there is no reason to use it.
Make writing '0' to it a nop and print a message saying its usage is
deprecated. The return value of writing '0' is -EOPNOTSUPP so that
user space will error on that write (hopefully to inform any
developer that it no longer works).
Eventually the file should be removed completely, but for now just
making it not do anything is the path forward to that.
- Update the livepatch tests to handle ftrace_enabled being disabled
Because in the past, livepatch was broken by ftrace_enabled being
turned off, there's a test case that checks to make sure it still
doesn't break. But having the write of '0' return an error caused
that test to break. Updated the test to handle the new change.

placeholder and monitor struct name).
- Update rtapp sleep monitor
Simplify the sleep monitor by excluding kernel threads and updating
the nanosleep check to focus only on CLOCK_REALTIME. Also switch to
use the sched_exit tracepoint to run in the context of the offending
(wakee) task.
- Add wakeup monitor
Add the new rtapp/wakeup monitor to detect when lower-priority tasks
wake up higher-priority ones, complementing the existing sleep
monitor by running in the waker context and capturing its stack
trace.
- Fix tools/rv exit status on failure
Ensure the rv tool returns a failure exit code when a monitor fails
to start because it was already running.
- Add automated selftests for tools/rv and rvgen
Introduced automated bash selftests to validate rv monitor listing
and execution under different configurations. Added tests for the
rvgen code generator, validating generated files against expected
output (golden). Tests are reachable via make check.
- Add KUnit test coverage for verification monitors
Added comprehensive KUnit tests to validate the functionality of
deterministic, hybrid, and LTL monitors by emulating event sequences
and timing in a mock environment without affecting the running kernel
while expecting mock reactions to fire. Ensure real RV monitors
cannot run during KUnit tests to avoid state corruption.
- Mock current in rv monitors
Mock the call to current in rv monitors when the KUnit tests are
built to allow them to run the test on dummy tasks. No overhead is
expected when KUnit tests aren't running.
- Introduce rvgen kunit subcommand
Added a new 'kunit' subcommand to rvgen to automatically patch an
already generated monitor with KUnit integration templates by parsing
its event handlers and creating the required mock structures and
initializations.
- Refine kernel verification selftests
Added new selftests for the deadline and stall monitors and
rearranged the existing wwnr_printk test to resolve flakiness.
Additionally, fixed an issue in the selftests framework where
negative assertion failures were not correctly propagated due to
shell rules.
- Fix 32-bit build of nomiss KUnit test
A previous commit introduced a division between an u64 and a constant
value and that doesn't build on 32-bit systems. Use div_u64()
instead.
- Document changes in sleep monitor
The sleep monitor introduced some changes in the past like allowing
epoll_wait() as a valid sleep and a task going to runnable before
scheduling as a valid wakeup. Document both.

- Warn if file creation failed due to uninitialized debugfs
device property:

software_node_add_links(), which creates fwnode links from
DEV_PROP_REF properties to enable automatic probe ordering. Add
kunit-managed fwnode helpers and test coverage
- Fix infinite loop in fwnode_for_each_child_node() when the

- Fix out-of-bounds access in software_node_get_reference_args() when
called with index -1 (UINT_MAX)
- Refactor to use RAII approach with __free()
- Add Bartosz Golaszewski as software node reviewer
firmware loader:
- Fix race where a sysfs fallback request can complete before being
queued as pending, leading to a use-after-free on the next fallback
request
- Reject 0-size built-in firmware and fail the build on empty
firmware files in CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE
kobject:
- Provide __KOBJ_ATTR() and __KOBJ_ATTR_RO/WO() initialization macros
and allow the constification of kobject attributes, enabling them
to reside in read-only memory
platform:
- Provide platform_device_set_of_node(), platform_device_set_fwnode(),
and platform_device_set_of_node_from_dev() helpers that encapsulate
firmware node reference counting for dynamically allocated platform
devices
Convert all in-tree users that manually assigned dev.of_node or
dev.fwnode, fixing a pre-existing refcount bug in powermac. Switch
to counting references of all firmware node types, not only OF
nodes
- Unify the release path for dynamically allocated platform devices
by removing platform_device_release_full(). Amend the fwnode setter
API contract to warn if a primary software node is overwritten. Add
KUnit tests for correct software node removal on device
unregistration
Rust:
- Auxiliary:
- Add registration_data_with() closure-based API for invariant
ForLt types
- Debugfs:
- Migrate BinaryWriter and BinaryReaderMut trait requirements
from kernel::transmute traits to zerocopy traits
- Device:
- Add BoundInternal device context and InternalBoundContext trait
for bus abstractions that need internal access to a bound
device.
- Make the lifetime on Core and CoreInternal invariant to prevent
coercion to shorter lifetimes
- Devres:
- Fix race between concurrent revokers where the losing revoker
could return before the winning revoker finished dropping the
inner data, causing use-after-free.
- Ensure revocation is complete before the device finishes
unbinding by making the synchronization bidirectional.
- Add DevresLt<F: ForLt>, a wrapper around Devres that shortens
'static back to the caller's borrow scope. Implement ForLt and
CovariantForLt for Bar, IoMem, and ExclusiveIoMem
- Driver:
- Switch from index-based to pointer-based device ID info lookup,
storing static references in driver_data. Centralize device ID
handling in device_id.rs, removing the open-coded ACPI/OF
matching logic and duplicate ID table from driver.rs
- I/O:
- Make I/O regions typed (with a dynamically-sized Region type
for the existing untyped case), create view types representing
subregions of a mapped I/O region, and add io_project!() for
safely creating subviews.
- Split Io into a base trait (IoBase) and an extension trait (Io)
with a blanket implementation, preventing implementers from
overriding provided methods that unsafe code relies on.
- Add a SysMem backend for shared system memory with volatile
access, and make Coherent implement Io via an I/O view type.
Add IoSysMap as sum type of Mmio and SysMem. Add copying
methods (memcpy_{from,to}io()) and read_val()/write_val() for
typed access.
- Replace dma_read!()/dma_write!() with io_read!()/io_write!()
for primitives and copying methods for aggregates; drop the old
macros. Convert nova-core to use I/O projection.
- Fix internal shortcut rule dispatch in the register!() macro,
remove unused rule arguments, and use path fragments for alias
destinations
- IRQ:
- Make irq::Registration compatible with lifetime-bound drivers
by removing the 'static bound on Handler/ThreadedHandler and
replacing Devres<RegistrationInner> with direct
request_irq()/free_irq() calls. Handlers can now directly own
lifetime-bound device resources
- PCI:
- Convert IrqVectorRegistration to a lifetime-annotated owning
type, giving drivers explicit control over the allocation
lifetime. IrqVector embeds a resolved IrqRequest, making the
conversion infallible. Remove the redundant
request_irq()/request_threaded_irq() wrappers from pci::Device.
- Add pci_irq_type() C helper and expose it via irq_type() on
IrqVectorRegistration and IrqVector, returning PCI_IRQ_MSIX,
PCI_IRQ_MSI, or PCI_IRQ_INTX.
- Mark pci::Device refcount methods inline
- Serdev:
- Add Rust abstractions for the serial device bus, including
serdev::Driver trait, serdev::Device wrapping struct
serdev_device, and serdev::Adapter implementing
RegistrationOps. Includes a sample driver. Markus Probst takes
over as serdev maintainer for both C and Rust code
- Misc:
- Split ForLt into a base trait (providing the Of<'a> GAT) and an
unsafe CovariantForLt subtrait guaranteeing covariance,
enabling invariant types (e.g. those containing Mutex<&'bound T>)
to participate in the ForLt abstraction.
- Fix Coherent read past EOF returning -ERANGE instead of zero.
- Fix firmware example UB by avoiding null-pointer ARef
misc:
- Avoid iattr allocation in kernfs listxattr by using
kernfs_iattrs_noalloc().
- Unregister SoC bus on early device registration failure.
- Remove unused DMA_FENCE_TRACE Kconfig symbol.
- Fix /sys/module path in comment.

"The 32-bit Arm platforms are a bit more interesting this time: I
refreshed an earlier series to mark code as deprecated that does have
the tendency of getting in the way of cleanups and new features but
has close to zero users. Among these are:
- 22 of the remaining 28 legacy board files that predate the current
devicetree based descriptions, using old chips from Intel and
Marvell. The remaining six board files are for TI OMAP1 and Samsung
s3c64xx chips and all still have known users.
- support for Cortex-M3/M4/M7 and ARM1136r0 CPU cores and the 25
machines based on these. These all use devicetree but the CPU
support causes disproportional work. Most of them are just
reference boards, the notable exceptions being the Nokia N800/N810
tablet and the Buglabs BUG platform.
- be8, be32, oabi and iwmmxt userspace binaries, which were mostly
associated with the platforms now scheduled for removal and are
increasingly problematic to support with modern toolchains.
Nothing is actually removed at this point, to ensure that any
remaining users continue to have the 7.3-LTS for a while longer.
Patches for removal are currently being tested.
Other updates include a continued work to convert GPIO number based
interfaces to descriptors, a patch to restore little-endian mode on
the one Arm platform (ixp4xx) that only worked in big-endian mode
recently, and some minor cleanups and bugfixes"

Pull timer and timekeeping core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Fix a subtly inconsistency in the timekeeping code, which fails to
account for the monotonicity adjustment in ntp_error.
For small changes of the clocksource multiplicator (+/-1) which are
typically used by the NTP PLL this is hard to observe. But for larger
adjustments, e.g. caused by a direct frequency setting through
adjtimex() the one-time uncompensated offset is significant.
Cure this by adjusting ntp_error with the resulting offset so that
the discrepancy is smoothed away over time
- Make tick length calculations correct in NTP.
The timekeeping core takes the quantisation of the clocksource into
account when calculating the tick length to compensate for the
deviation of the nominal NTP_INTERVAL_LENGTH.
While timekeeping gets this right, NTP is not aware of that, which
means it operates on the nominal value and not on the actual value
which is determined by the clock source frequency. The rounding of a
coarse clocksource like the ACPI PM timer results in a +127 PPM
deviation.
Cure this by exposing the deviation to the NTP code so that it can
operate on the same data as the timekeeping core. This is purely
kernel internal. User space still sees the nominal tick lenght via
adjtimex().
- The accuracy of the NTP adjustments is fairly approximate as the code
assumes that the invocations are precisely in NTP interval frequency
ticks and the final adjustment can over and under-run.
Cure this by adjusting ntp_error by the intended skew on each tick to
achieve the desired rate.
- Handle the two competing skews of time offset and time adjustment
correctly by calculating the conflict portion between the skews and
adjusting both accordingly.

Pull SMP core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Reduce the preemption disabled sections in smp_call_function*().
The various smp call functions keep preemption disabled accross the
full operation which includes the wait for completion. Especially the
latter can take some time when one of the target CPUs is not
immediately responding to the IPI, which can result in large latency
spikes.
To improve this provide a per task CPU mask to track the CPUs to wait
for. That makes the information required for the wait task local and
therefore allows to reenable preemption before the wait.
While this comes with moderate extra memory cost this reduces SMP
function call induced latency measured in a fleet for high priority
tasks from ~17ms to ~1.5ms (~90%).

Pull generic entry code updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Make syscall user dispatching configurable
Not all architectures can makes use of syscall user dispatching.
Allow them to disable the feature completely.
- Consolidate stack randomization for the generic entry code and the
architectures using it.
Stack randomization on syscall entry was sprinkled throughout the
architecture specific low level entry code and in some cases at the
wrong points, e.g. before establishing state, which violates the
non-instrumentable constraints of that code.
Clean this up by integrating stack randomization into the generic
entry code helpers so that it is invoked at the earliest possible
point right after establishing state and converting all generic entry
code using architecture over.
- Clean up the syscall number handling in the generic entry code. It
works correctly for architectures which have a separate return value
storage in pt_regs, but fails to distinguish the case where user
space handed in -1 as syscall number from the case where the entry
code rejects it by returning -1 to the callers. Aside of that the
return value functionality of those interfaces is not really
intuitive.
Fix this by separating the decision to reject a syscall (user
dispatch, ptrace, seccomp ...) from the potential modification of the
syscall number through these mechanisms.
This solves most of the problems for architectures which do not have
a separate return value storage in pt_regs except for the case where
a tracepoint has a BPF script or a probe attached which overwrite
both the syscall number and the return value. But that's a problem
which cannot be solved in the generic code, that only can be
addressed by separating the storage model in the affected
architectures.

"Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Warn when using 'bindgen' < 0.72.1 with 'libclang' >= 22, since
that combination may fail to build. It includes a probe for the bug
in case 'bindgen' happens to be patched, and tests
In parallel, Nathan updated the instructions for the kernel.org
LLVM+Rust toolchains so that the latest version of 'bindgen' is
installed, which should avoid some of these situations
- Support testing 'rust_is_available.sh' with 'bash' as '/bin/sh'
- Fix an objtool warning by adding one more 'noreturn' function for
Rust 1.99.0 (expected 2026-10-01)
- Fix build error in the 'rusttest' target due to ambiguity when the
'rustc-dev' component is installed, which was uncovered by the work
to support Rust's GCC backend ('rustc_codegen_gcc')
- Fix future Clang warnings in the upcoming powerpc support due to
macro redefinitions in the UAPI helper header by including the
arch-aware 'ioctl.h' header
'kernel' crate:
- Rework module ownership support:
- Move the module-related types into a new 'module' module and
make the 'THIS_MODULE' pointer a constant of 'ModuleMetadata'
so that modules can provide the pointer in const contexts, and
add a 'this_module' 'const fn' to retrieve it
This was enabled by upstream Rust's work on the 'const_mut_refs'
and 'const_refs_to_static' features which were stabilized back
in Rust 1.83.0
- Teach '#[vtable]' to associate implementations with their
owning module, defaulting to the local one, including fallbacks
for doctests, uses within the 'kernel' crate (like upcoming
KUnit '#[test]'s for DRM) and 'rusttest'
- Set 'fops.owner' from the module pointer for DRM and
miscdevice
- Migrate Rust Binder and configfs away from the old
'THIS_MODULE' 'static' and finally remove it from the 'module!'
macro
- 'num' module:
- Add the new 'casts' module for lossless integer conversions
Rust's 'core' library's 'From' implementations do not cover
conversions that are not portable or future-proof. However, the
kernel supports a narrower set of architectures, which makes it
helpful to provide more infallible conversions, instead of
having developers use 'as' casts, which carry the risk of
silently losing data
This goes along with previous work we did to avoid casts in
Rust kernel code since they are more powerful than needed
Thus, provide safe 'const' conversion functions (e.g.
'usize_as_u64' and 'u64_into_u8'), as well as the
'FromSafeCast' and 'IntoSafeCast' extension traits that provide
conversions that are known to be lossless in the kernel, and an
'arch' submodule defining conversions that are known to be
lossless on particular architectures (e.g. 64-bit platforms).
For instance:
// Conversion in const context.
const USIZED_CONST: usize = u8_as_usize(255u8);
// Non-const conversions.
let a = u64::from_safe_cast(4096usize);
let b: u64 = 4096usize.into_safe_cast();
- Add 'Bounded::shr_exact' method in the vein of 'try_shrink'
which shifts a bounded right only if it loses no set bits
- Fix unsoundness issue in the 'Bounded::shr' method by
rejecting, at compile-time, shifts of at least the type's bit
width
- 'fmt' module:
- Route '{:p}' raw pointer formatting through the kernel's hashed
'%p' format to prevent address leaks, including support for
width and padding. Include tests for both 'no_hash_pointers'
case and the default (hashed) one
- Fix the '{:p}' forwarding implementation, which could print the
address of a temporary stack variable
- 'time' module:
- Make 'Delta' generic over its time unit, with a default unit of
nanoseconds ('Nsec'), preserving the existing behavior. Then,
add a 'Jiffy' time unit
- Add the 'Delta::as_millis_ceil()' method
- Fix 'as_micros_ceil()' rounding near 'i64::MAX', which could
yield a result one microsecond too small
- 'sync' module:
- Implement 'ForeignOwnable' for 'ARef<T>', allowing C code to
own an 'ARef<T>'
- Add a safe abstraction for 'rcu_barrier()'
- 'error' module: add all of the remaining error codes, except the
deprecated compatibility aliases
- 'bug' module:
- Fix build error on UML in 'warn_on!' for callers from within
the 'kernel' crate
- Fix future 'dead_code' warning on arm and loongarch64 and under
'CONFIG_BUG=n' in 'warn_on!', which would trigger with the
upcoming SRCU abstractions
- Fix future build error in 'rusttest' on cross-compilation
cases, which would trigger when 'warn_on!' has callers inside
the 'kernel' crate
- 'bitfield' module: fix build error for the upcoming support for
Rust's GCC backend ('rustc_codegen_gcc') by always inlining a
couple conversions used in tests
'pin-init' crate:
- User-visible changes:
- Merge the '__pinned_init' and '__init' methods and make 'Init'
a marker trait
- Introduce public APIs 'raw_init' and 'raw_try_init' to prevent
users from needing to invoke the internal '__pinned_init' and
'__init' methods
- Emit errors for duplicate '#[pin]' attributes
- Link 'Zeroable::zeroed' and 'pin_init::zeroed' in documentation
- Other changes:
- Fix unwind safety issues
- Clean up lint 'allow' and 'expect's
- Overhaul '#[cfg]' handling to pave the way for tuple structs
and self-referential structs
- Mark many functions as '#[inline]' for better codegen with '-C

"The most significant change here is the elimination of struct
acpi_driver that has no more users in the tree now along with some
documentation related to it, and a follow-up update to set the "no PM"
flag for all ACPI devices that are now only going to play the role of
other devices' "companions" (in analogy with DT nodes).
There is also a significant update of irqchip code related to ACPI
done in order to enable GICv5 IWB ACPI probe ordering detection on
ARM, which involves RISC-V interrupt controller management code
refactoring to extract generic code from it into the common ACPI IRQ
code.
The rest is mostly fixes, including some fallout of the _OSC handling
rework in 7.0, ACPI CPPC library fixes, a workaround for registering
ACPI platform devices with overlapping I/O or memory resources, an
ACPI EC driver fix related to probe deferral on platforms using
HW-reduced ACPI, two ACPI battery driver fixes and a workaround for
handling model numbers with unprintable characters in it, probe error
cleanup and driver unload code path fixes, hardware error reporting
fixes, documentation fixes, and assorted code cleanups all over.

bind to platform devices or auxiliary devices and set the "no power
management" flag for all struct acpi_device objects (Rafael

- Avoid printing confusing _OSC messages for non-PCIe host bridges
without _OSC which is a valid configuration (Kazuma Kondo)
- Use correct region struct for BERT region size check and properly
map BERT and CCEL data to their ACPI tables (Thomas Renninger)
- Add acpi_device_clear_deps(), refactor RISC-V interrupt controller
management code to extract generic code from it into the common
ACPI IRQ code, and enable GICv5 IWB ACPI probe ordering detection
on ARM on top of that (Lorenzo Pieralisi)
- Stop using acpi_device_name() in the PNP core, stop setting
acpi_device_name/class() in the Xen variant of the ACPI PAD
(Processor Aggregator Device) driver, and make the Loongarch laptop
driver stop setting acpi_device_class() (Rafael Wysocki)
- Fix issues related to the desired_perf register access in the ACPI
CPPC library and update it to avoid unnecessary overhead (Christian
Loehle)
- Simplify acpi_get_pci_dev() with the help of a mutex guard,
introduce acpi_dev_get_pci_dev() for code that has a struct ACPI
device for which it wants to get the struct pci_dev pointer of the
associated PCI device, and use it in the ACPI video bus driver

- Merge consecutive battery notifications in the ACPI battery driver
to reduce the pressure on STA, _BST and _BIX/_BIF ACPI control
methods and make that driver use kstrtoul() instead of
