Jakub Kicinski 7e7b3b097a docs: netdev: document the existence of the mail bot
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are in flux so the details would likely become out of date,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.

Linus Torvalds cec24b8b6b Char/Misc drivers for 6.4-rc1
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.

Linus Torvalds 6e98b09da9 Networking changes for 6.4.
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.

Krzysztof Kozlowski c0d747a5b2 Documentation/process: always CC responsible lists
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.

Matthieu Baerts 0d828200ad docs: process: allow Closes tags with links
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/
[2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/bb5dfd55ea2026303ab2296f4a6df3da7dd64006.1674217480.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.

Theodore Ts'o 10a29eb658 Documentation/process: Add Linux Kernel Contribution Maturity Model
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.

Vegard Nossum 44ac5abac8 Documentation/security-bugs: move from admin-guide/ to process/
Jiri Kosina, Jonathan Corbet, and Willy Tarreau all expressed a desire
to move this document under process/.

Create a new section for security issues in the index and group it with
embargoed-hardware-issues.

I'm doing this at the start of the series to make all the subsequent
changes show up in 'git blame'.

Existing references were updated using:

  git grep -l security-bugs ':!Documentation/translations/' | xargs sed -i 's|admin-guide/security-bugs|process/security-bugs|g'
  git grep -l security-bugs Documentation/translations/ | xargs sed -i 's|Documentation/admin-guide/security-bugs|Documentation/process/security-bugs|g'
  git grep -l security-bugs Documentation/translations/ | xargs sed -i '/Original:/s|\.\./admin-guide/security-bugs|\.\./process/security-bugs|g'

Notably, the page is not moved in the translations (due to my lack of
knowledge of these languages), but the translations have been updated
to point to the new location of the original document where these
references exist.

Jiri Slaby 9b12f050c7 char: pcmcia: remove all the drivers
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).

Linus Torvalds d4563201f3 Documentation: simplify and clarify DCO contribution example language
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.

Linus Torvalds a93e884edf Driver core changes for 6.3-rc1
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.

Thorsten Leemhuis 901578a459 docs: recommend using Link: whenever using Reported-by:
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.
>
> [...]
>
> Put another way: I can see that
>
> Reported-by: Zhangfei Gao <zhangfei.gao@foxmail.com>

> 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.

"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.

The length of the questions prevents readers from locating

Convert to a more standard documentation format with sections

The content edits are limited to what's necessary to change
the format, and very minor clarifications.

Masahiro Yamada e441273947 Documentation: raise minimum supported version of binutils to 2.25
Binutils 2.23 was released in 2012. Almost 10 years old.

We already require GCC 5.1, released in 2015.

Bump the binutils version to 2.25, which was released some months
before GCC 5.1.

With this applied, some subsystems can start to clean up code.
Examples:
  arch/arm/Kconfig.assembler
  arch/mips/vdso/Kconfig
  arch/powerpc/Makefile
  arch/x86/Kconfig.assembler

Linus Torvalds a7cacfb068 This was a not-too-busy cycle for documentation; highlights include:
- The beginnings of a set of translations into Spanish, headed up by Carlos
   Bilbao.
 
 - More Chinese translations.
 
 - A change to the Sphinx "alabaster" theme by default for HTML generation.
   Unlike the previous default (Read the Docs), alabaster is shipped with
   Sphinx by default, reducing the number of other dependencies that need to
   be installed.  It also (IMO) produces a cleaner and more readable result.

Nick Desaulniers ea522496af Documentation: process: replace outdated LTS table w/ link
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
at smaller companies which don't employ many kernel experts.

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

Linus Torvalds e8bc52cb8d Driver core changes for 6.1-rc1
Here is the big set of driver core and debug printk changes for 6.1-rc1.
 Included in here is:
 	- dynamic debug updates for the core and the drm subsystem.  The
 	  drm changes have all been acked by the relevant maintainers.
 	- kernfs fixes for syzbot reported problems
 	- kernfs refactors and updates for cgroup requirements
 	- magic number cleanups and removals from the kernel tree (they
 	  were not being used and they really did not actually do
 	  anything.)
 	- other tiny cleanups
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
 issues.
