1a63342a27 docs: kdoc_output: don't use a different modulename for functions
It doesn't make much sense to have a different modulename just
for functions, but not for structs/enums/...

Use the same header everywere.

Add a module to help testing the tracefs support for trace remotes. This
module:

  * Use simple_ring_buffer to write into a ring-buffer.
  * Declare a single "selftest" event that can be triggered from

  * Register a "test" trace remote.

This is intended to be used by trace remote selftests.

bd2e02e3c9 Merge branch 'always-allow-sleepable-and-fmod_ret-programs-on-syscalls'
Viktor Malik says:

====================
Always allow sleepable and fmod_ret programs on syscalls

Both sleepable and fmod_ret programs are only allowed on selected
functions. For convenience, the error injection list was originally
used.

When error injection is disabled, that list is empty and sleepable
tracing programs, as well as fmod_ret programs, are effectively
unavailable.

This patch series addresses the issue by at least enabling sleepable and
fmod_ret programs on syscalls, if error injection is disabled. More
details on why syscalls are used can be found in [1].

fcec7c66d6 selftests/bpf: Move sleepable refcounted_kptr tests to syscalls
Now that sleepable programs are always enabled on syscalls, let
refcounted_kptr tests use syscalls rather than bpf_testmod_test_read,
which is not sleepable with error injection disabled.

The tests just check that the verifier can handle usage of RCU locks in
sleepable programs and never actually attach. So, the attachment target
doesn't matter (as long as it is sleepable) and with syscalls, the tests
pass on kernels with disabled error injection.

To detect that a function is a syscall handler, we check for
arch-specific prefixes for the most common architectures. Unfortunately,
the prefixes are hard-coded in arch syscall code so we need to hard-code
them, too.

861dcdb6ad docs: kdoc_files: allows the caller to use a different xforms class
While the main goal for kernel-doc is to be used inside the Linux
Kernel, other open source projects could benefit for it. That's
currently the case of QEMU, which has a fork, mainly due to two
reasons:

  - they need an extra C function transform rule;
  - they handle the html output a little bit different.

Add an extra optional argument to make easier for the code to be
shared, as, with that, QEMU can just create a new derivated class
that will contain its specific rulesets, and just copy the
remaining kernel-doc files as-is.

sched_getattr() to retrieve, for DEADLINE tasks, the runtime left and absolute
deadline (setting the flags syscall parameter to 1), in addition to the static
parameters (obtained with flags=0).

17eb360d7d docs: filesystems: clarify KernelPageSize vs. MMUPageSize in smaps
There was recently some confusion around THPs and the interaction with
KernelPageSize / MMUPageSize. Historically, these entries always
correspond to the smallest size we could encounter, not any current
usage of transparent huge pages or larger sizes used by the MMU.

Ever since we added THP support many, many years ago, these entries
would keep reporting the smallest (fallback) granularity in a VMA.

For this reason, they default to PAGE_SIZE for all VMAs except for
VMAs where we have the guarantee that the system and the MMU will
always use larger page sizes. hugetlb, for example, exposes a custom
vm_ops->pagesize callback to handle that. Similarly, dax/device
exposes a custom vm_ops->pagesize callback and provides similar
guarantees.

Let's clarify the historical meaning of KernelPageSize / MMUPageSize,
and point at "AnonHugePages", "ShmemPmdMapped" and "FilePmdMapped"
regarding PMD entries.

While at it, document "FilePmdMapped", clarify what the "AnonHugePages"
and "ShmemPmdMapped" entries really mean, and make it clear that there
are no other entries for other THP/folio sizes or mappings.

Also drop the duplicate "KernelPageSize" and "MMUPageSize" entries in
the example.

cb794619c2 dt-bindings: fsl: imx7ulp-smc1: Add #clock-cells property
The SMC1 block on i.MX7ULP is already used as a clock provider in
imx7ulp.dtsi, but the corresponding dt-binding schema does not define
the required '#clock-cells' property. This results in CHECK_DTBS schema
validation errors.

Functionally, SMC1 controls the CPU run mode configuration:
  - 00b: Normal Run (RUN)
  - 10b: Very-Low-Power Run (VLPR)
  - 11b: High-Speed Run (HSRUN)

These run modes determine the effective CPU operating point, and their
programming is tied to the OPP table.

Add the missing `#clock-cells` definition so the dt-binding schema is
consistent with the DTS and validates correctly.

2fcfe5951e sched_ext: Use WRITE_ONCE() for the write side of scx_enable helper pointer
scx_enable() uses double-checked locking to lazily initialize a static
kthread_worker pointer. The fast path reads helper locklessly:

    if (!READ_ONCE(helper)) {          // lockless read -- no helper_mutex

The write side initializes helper under helper_mutex, but previously
used a plain assignment:

        helper = kthread_run_worker(0, "scx_enable_helper");
                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                 plain write -- KCSAN data race with READ_ONCE() above

Since READ_ONCE() on the fast path and the plain write on the
initialization path access the same variable without a common lock,
they constitute a data race. KCSAN requires that all sides of a
lock-free access use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() consistently.

Use a temporary variable to stage the result of kthread_run_worker(),
and only WRITE_ONCE() into helper after confirming the pointer is
valid. This avoids a window where a concurrent caller on the fast path
could observe an ERR pointer via READ_ONCE(helper) before the error
check completes.
