Currently if a user enqueues a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This lack of consistency cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.
alloc_workqueue() treats all queues as per-CPU by default, while unbound
workqueues must opt-in via WQ_UNBOUND.
This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues,
allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and
reducing noise when CPUs are isolated.
This continues the effort to refactor workqueue APIs, which began with
the introduction of new workqueues and a new alloc_workqueue flag in:
commit 128ea9f6cc ("workqueue: Add system_percpu_wq and system_dfl_wq")
commit 930c2ea566 ("workqueue: Add new WQ_PERCPU flag")
This change adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag to explicitly request
alloc_workqueue() to be per-cpu when WQ_UNBOUND has not been specified.
With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND),
any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND
must now use WQ_PERCPU.
Once migration is complete, WQ_UNBOUND can be removed and unbound will
become the implicit default.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Allow creaing nbcon console drivers with an unsafe write_atomic()
callback that can only be called by the final nbcon_atomic_flush_unsafe().
Otherwise, the driver would rely on the kthread.
It is going to be used as the-best-effort approach for an
experimental nbcon netconsole driver, see
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251121-nbcon-v1-2-503d17b2b4af@debian.org
Note that a safe .write_atomic() callback is supposed to work in NMI
context. But some networking drivers are not safe even in IRQ
context:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/oc46gdpmmlly5o44obvmoatfqo5bhpgv7pabpvb6sjuqioymcg@gjsma3ghoz35
In an ideal world, all networking drivers would be fixed first and
the atomic flush would be blocked only in NMI context. But it brings
the question how reliable networking drivers are when the system is
in a bad state. They might block flushing more reliable serial
consoles which are more suitable for serious debugging anyway.
- Allow to use the last 4 bytes of the printk ring buffer.
- Prevent queuing IRQ work and block printk kthreads when consoles are
suspended. Otherwise, they create non-necessary churn or even block
the suspend.
- Release console_lock() between each record in the kthread used for
legacy consoles on RT. It might significantly speed up the boot.
- Release nbcon context between each record in the atomic flush. It
prevents stalls of the related printk kthread after it has lost the
ownership in the middle of a record
- Add support for NBCON consoles into KDB
- Add %ptsP modifier for printing struct timespec64 and use it where
possible
- Misc code clean up

"This is the main crypto library pull request for 6.19. It includes:
- Add SHA-3 support to lib/crypto/, including support for both the
hash functions and the extendable-output functions. Reimplement the
existing SHA-3 crypto_shash support on top of the library.
This is motivated mainly by the upcoming support for the ML-DSA
signature algorithm, which needs the SHAKE128 and SHAKE256
functions. But even on its own it's a useful cleanup.
This also fixes the longstanding issue where the
architecture-optimized SHA-3 code was disabled by default.
- Add BLAKE2b support to lib/crypto/, and reimplement the existing
BLAKE2b crypto_shash support on top of the library.
This is motivated mainly by btrfs, which supports BLAKE2b
checksums. With this change, all btrfs checksum algorithms now have
library APIs. btrfs is planned to start just using the library
directly.
This refactor also improves consistency between the BLAKE2b code
and BLAKE2s code. And as usual, it also fixes the issue where the
architecture-optimized BLAKE2b code was disabled by default.
- Add POLYVAL support to lib/crypto/, replacing the existing POLYVAL
support in crypto_shash. Reimplement HCTR2 on top of the library.
This simplifies the code and improves HCTR2 performance. As usual,
it also makes the architecture-optimized code be enabled by
default. The generic implementation of POLYVAL is greatly improved
as well.

Remove the macro in order to get rid of a pointless indirection. Replace

simple replacement like this:
- #define KMSG_COMPONENT "appldata"
- #define pr_fmt(fmt) KMSG_COMPONENT ": " fmt

mm_get_unmapped_area() is a wrapper around arch_get_unmapped_area() /
arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown(), both of which search current->mm for
some free space. Neither take an mm_struct - they implicitly operate on
current->mm.
But the wrapper takes an mm_struct and uses it to decide whether to search
bottom up or top down. All callers pass in current->mm for this, so
everything is working consistently. But it feels like an accident waiting
to happen; eventually someone will call that function with a different mm,
expecting to find free space in it, but what gets returned is free space
in the current mm.
So let's simplify by removing the parameter and have the wrapper use
current->mm to decide which end to start at. Now everything is consistent
and self-documenting.

of whether static keys have been initialized. This static key check is
unnecessary because workqueues are initialized long after it. And
semantically it doesn't make much sense either, because it's not really
directly calling a static key function in the condition.
Remove the now unnecessary check.

For consistency with the SHA-1, SHA-2, SHA-3 (in development), and MD5
library APIs, rename blake2s_state to blake2s_ctx.
As a refresher, the ctx name:
- Is a bit shorter.
- Avoids confusion with the compression function state, which is also
often called the state (but is just part of the full context).
- Is consistent with OpenSSL.
Not a big deal, of course. But consistency is nice. With a BLAKE2b
library API about to be added, this is a convenient time to update this.

Reorder the parameters of blake2s() from (out, in, key, outlen, inlen,
keylen) to (key, keylen, in, inlen, out, outlen).
This aligns BLAKE2s with the common conventions of pairing buffers and
their lengths, and having outputs follow inputs. This is widely used
elsewhere in lib/crypto/ and crypto/, and even elsewhere in the BLAKE2s
code itself such as blake2s_init_key() and blake2s_final(). So
blake2s() was a bit of an exception.
Notably, this results in the same order as hmac_*_usingrawkey().
Note that since the type signature changed, it's not possible for a
blake2s() call site to be silently missed.

According to the CRB over FF-A specification [1], a TPM that implements
the ABI must comply with the TCG PTP specification. This requires support
for the Idle and Ready states.
This patch implements CRB control area requests for goIdle and
cmdReady on FF-A based TPMs.
The FF-A message used to notify the TPM of CRB updates includes a
locality parameter, which provides a hint to the TPM about which
locality modified the CRB. This patch adds a locality parameter
to __crb_go_idle() and __crb_cmd_ready() to support this.

The HW RNG core allows for manual selection of which RNG device to use,
but does not allow for no device to be enabled. It may be desirable to
do this on systems with only a single suitable hardware RNG, where we
need exclusive access to other functionality on this device. In
particular when performing TPM firmware upgrades this lets us ensure the
kernel does not try to access the device.

The race window between __scan_channels() and deliver_response() causes
the parameters of some channels to be set to 0.
1.[CPUA] __scan_channels() issues an IPMI request and waits with
wait_event() until all channels have been scanned.
wait_event() internally calls might_sleep(), which might
yield the CPU. (Moreover, an interrupt can preempt
wait_event() and force the task to yield the CPU.)
2.[CPUB] deliver_response() is invoked when the CPU receives the
IPMI response. After processing a IPMI response,
deliver_response() directly assigns intf->wchannels to
intf->channel_list and sets intf->channels_ready to true.
However, not all channels are actually ready for use.
3.[CPUA] Since intf->channels_ready is already true, wait_event()
never enters __wait_event(). __scan_channels() immediately
clears intf->null_user_handler and exits.
4.[CPUB] Once intf->null_user_handler is set to NULL, deliver_response()
ignores further IPMI responses, leaving the remaining
channels zero-initialized and unusable.

Fix the race between __scan_channels() and deliver_response() by
deferring both the assignment intf->channel_list = intf->wchannels
and the flag intf->channels_ready = true until all channels have
been successfully scanned or until the IPMI request has failed.

The current shenanigans for duration calculation introduce too much
complexity for a trivial problem, and further the code is hard to patch and
maintain.
Address these issues with a flat look-up table, which is easy to understand
and patch. If leaf driver specific patching is required in future, it is
easy enough to make a copy of this table during driver initialization and
add the chip parameter back.
'chip->duration' is retained for TPM 1.x.
As the first entry for this new behavior address TCG spec update mentioned
in this issue:
https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/7054
Therefore, for TPM_SelfTest the duration is set to 3000 ms.
This does not categorize a as bug, given that this is introduced to the
spec after the feature was originally made.

In tpm_buf_check_hmac_response(), compare the HMAC values in constant
time using crypto_memneq() instead of in variable time using memcmp().
This is worthwhile to follow best practices and to be consistent with
MAC comparisons elsewhere in the kernel. However, in this driver the
side channel seems to have been benign: the HMAC input data is
guaranteed to always be unique, which makes the usual MAC forgery via
timing side channel not possible. Specifically, the HMAC input data in
tpm_buf_check_hmac_response() includes the "our_nonce" field, which was
generated by the kernel earlier, remains under the control of the
kernel, and is unique for each call to tpm_buf_check_hmac_response().

After reading all the feedback, right now disabling the TPM2_TCG_HMAC
is the right call.
Other views discussed:
A. Having a kernel command-line parameter or refining the feature
otherwise. This goes to the area of improvements. E.g., one
example is my own idea where the null key specific code would be
replaced with a persistent handle parameter (which can be
*unambigously* defined as part of attestation process when
done correctly).
B. Removing the code. I don't buy this because that is same as saying
that HMAC encryption cannot work at all (if really nitpicking) in
any form. Also I disagree on the view that the feature could not
be refined to something more reasoable.
Also, both A and B are worst options in terms of backporting.
Thuss, this is the best possible choice.

the case. However, ipmi_free_recv_msg() is still called and decreases the

the user data pointer is released, and all kinds of interesting crashes are
seen.
Fix the problem by increasing user reference counter if the receive message

Pull Char/Misc/IIO/Binder updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big set of char/misc/iio and other driver subsystem
changes for 6.18-rc1.
Loads of different stuff in here, it was a busy development cycle in
lots of different subsystems, with over 27k new lines added to the
tree.
Included in here are:
- IIO updates including new drivers, reworking of existing apis, and
other goodness in the sensor subsystems
- MEI driver updates and additions
- NVMEM driver updates
- slimbus removal for an unused driver and some other minor updates
- coresight driver updates and additions
- MHI driver updates
- comedi driver updates and fixes
- extcon driver updates
- interconnect driver additions
- eeprom driver updates and fixes
- minor UIO driver updates
- tiny W1 driver updates
But the majority of new code is in the rust bindings and additions,
which includes:
- misc driver rust binding updates for read/write support, we can now
write "normal" misc drivers in rust fully, and the sample driver
shows how this can be done.
- Initial framework for USB driver rust bindings, which are disabled
for now in the build, due to limited support, but coming in through
this tree due to dependencies on other rust binding changes that
were in here. I'll be enabling these back on in the build in the
usb.git tree after -rc1 is out so that developers can continue to
work on these in linux-next over the next development cycle.
- Android Binder driver implemented in Rust.
This is the big one, and was driving a huge majority of the rust
binding work over the past years. Right now there are two binder
drivers in the kernel, selected only at build time as to which one
to use as binder wants to be included in the system at boot time.
The binder C maintainers all agreed on this, as eventually, they
want the C code to be removed from the tree, but it will take a few
releases to get there while both are maintained to ensure that the
rust implementation is fully stable and compliant with the existing
userspace apis.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while"
