Here are a relativly large number of small char/misc/iio and other
driver fixes for 7.0-rc7. There's a bunch, but overall they are all
small fixes for issues that people have been having that I finally
caught up with getting merged due to delays on my end.
The "largest" change overall is just some documentation updates to the
security-bugs.rst file to hopefully tell the AI tools (and any users
that actually read the documentation), how to send us better security
bug reports as the quantity of reports these past few weeks has
increased dramatically due to tools getting better at "finding" things.
Included in here are:
- lots of small IIO driver fixes for issues reported in 7.0-rc
- gpib driver fixes
- comedi driver fixes
- interconnect driver fix
- nvmem driver fixes
- mei driver fix
- counter driver fix
- binder rust driver fixes
- some other small misc driver fixes
All of these have been in linux-next this week with no reported issues.

When the mci->pvt_info allocation in edac_mc_alloc() fails, the error path
will call put_device() which will end up calling the device's release

Commit a88831502c ("gpu: nova-core: falcon: use dma::Coherent")
dropped the nova-local `DmaObject` device memory type for the
kernel-global `Coherent` one.
This switch had a side-effect: `DmaObject` always aligned the requested
size to `PAGE_SIZE`, and also reported that adjusted size when queried.
`Coherent`, on the other hand, does page-align allocation sizes but only
allows CPU access on the exact size provided by the caller.
This change runs into a limitation of falcon DMA copies, namely that DMA
accesses are done on blocks of exactly 256 bytes. If the provided data
does not have a length that is a multiple of 256, `dma_wr` returns
an error.
It was expected that all firmwares would present the proper adjusted
size, but this is not the case at least on my GA107:
NovaCore 0000:08:00.0: DMA transfer goes beyond range of DMA object
NovaCore 0000:08:00.0: Failed to load FWSEC firmware: EINVAL
NovaCore 0000:08:00.0: probe with driver NovaCore failed with error -22
Fix this by padding the `Coherent`'s size to `MEM_BLOCK_ALIGNMENT` (i.e.
256) when allocating it and filling it with zeroes, before copying the
firmware on top of it.

`driver_read_area` and `driver_write_area` are internal methods that
return slices containing the area of the command queue buffer that the
driver has exclusive read or write access, respectively.
While their returned value is correct and safe to use, internally they
temporarily create a reference to the whole command-buffer slice,
including GSP-owned regions. These regions can change without notice,
and thus creating a slice to them, even if never accessed, is undefined
behavior.
Fix this by making these methods create slices to valid regions only.

Additionally, mention that the build directory may also appear as an

And now it is broken again since commit a44fb57221 ("riscv: Add runtime

These are clear signs that XIP feature is not being used.
I occasionally looked after XIP, but mostly because I was bored and had

check_unaligned_access_speed_all_cpus() is more complicated than it should
be:
- It uses on_each_cpu() to probe unaligned memory access on all CPUs but
excludes CPU0 with a check in the callback function. So an IPI to CPU0
is wasted.
- Probing on CPU0 is done with smp_call_on_cpu(), which is not as fast as
on_each_cpu().
The reason for this design is because the probe is timed with jiffies.
Therefore on_each_cpu() excludes CPU0 because that CPU needs to tend to
jiffies.
Instead, replace jiffies usage with ktime_get_mono_fast_ns(). With jiffies
out of the way, on_each_cpu() can be used for all CPUs and
smp_call_on_cpu() can be dropped.
To make ktime_get_mono_fast_ns() usable, move this probe to late_initcall.
Anything after clocksource's fs_initcall works, but avoid depending on
clocksource staying at fs_initcall.
The choice of probe time is now 8000000 ns, which is the same as before (2
jiffies) for riscv defconfig. This is excessive for the CPUs I have, and
probably should be reduced; but that's a different discussion.

Add an assembly implementation of strrchr() for RISC-V.
This implementation minimizes instruction count and avoids unnecessary
memory access to the stack. The performance benefits are most visible
on small workloads (1-16 bytes) where the architectural savings in

Add an assembly implementation of strchr() for RISC-V.
By eliminating stack frame management (prologue/epilogue) and optimizing
the function entries, the assembly version provides significant relative
gains for short strings where the fixed overhead of the C function is
most prominent. As string length increases, performance converges with
the generic C implementation.

Extend the string benchmarking suite to include strnlen(), strchr(),
and strrchr().
For character search functions strchr() and strrchr(), the benchmark
targets the NUL character. This ensures the entire string is scanned,
providing a consistent measure of full-length processing efficiency
comparable to strlen().

Introduce a benchmarking framework to the string_kunit test suite to
measure the execution efficiency of string functions.
The implementation is inspired by crc_benchmark(), measuring throughput
(MB/s) and latency (ns/call) across a range of string lengths. It
includes a warm-up phase, disables preemption during measurement, and
uses a fixed seed for reproducible results.
This framework allows for comparing different implementations (e.g.,
generic C vs. architecture-optimized assembly) within the KUnit
environment.
Initially, provide a benchmark for strlen().

The vdso_cfi build process copies source files (*.c, *.S) from the main
vdso directory to the build directory. Without a .gitignore file, these
copied files appear as untracked files in git status, cluttering the
working directory.
Add a .gitignore file to exclude:
- Copied source files (*.c, *.S)
- Temporary build files (vdso.lds, *.tmp, vdso-syms.S)
- While preserving vdso-cfi.S which is the original entry point
This follows the same pattern used in the main vdso directory
and keeps the working directory clean.

When building VDSO with CFI support, source files are copied from the main
VDSO directory to the CFI build directory as part of the build process.
However, these copied source files were not removed during 'make clean',
leaving temporary files in the build directory.
Add the clean-files variable to ensure that these copied .c and .S files
are properly cleaned up. The notdir() function is used to strip the path
prefix, as clean-files expects relative file names without directory
components.
This ensures the build directory is left in a clean state after make clean.

which provides a generic ioremap_prot() implementation. Enable
HAVE_IOREMAP_PROT to activate generic_access_phys() support, which
is useful for debugging (e.g., accessing /dev/mem via gdb).
Also update the architecture support documentation accordingly.

Add support for handling hardware error traps (exception code 19)
in the RISC-V architecture. The changes include:
- Add do_trap_hardware_error function declaration in asm-prototypes.h
- Add hardware error trap vector entry in entry.S exception vector table
- Implement do_trap_hardware_error handler in traps.c that generates
SIGBUS with BUS_MCEERR_AR for hardware errors
This enables proper handling of hardware error exceptions that may occur
in RISC-V systems, providing appropriate error reporting and signal
generation for user space processes.

The following options are required by the kdump crash utility for RISC-V
based vmcore file:
- kaslr: If the vmcore is generated from a KASLR-enabled Linux kernel,
the KASLR offset is required for the crash utility to load
the vmcore. Without the proper kaslr option, the crash utility
fails to load the vmcore file.
- satp: The exact root page table address helps determine the correct base
PGD address.
