dpll: spec: add missing module-name and clock-id to pin-get reply

2025-10-28T01:20:36Z

The dpll.yaml spec incorrectly omitted module-name and clock-id from the pin-get operation reply specification, even though the kernel DPLL implementation has always included these attributes in pin-get responses since the initial implementation. This spec inconsistency caused issues with the C YNL code generator. The generated dpll_pin_get_rsp structure was missing these fields. Fix the spec by adding module-name and clock-id to the pin-attrs reply specification to match the actual kernel behavior.

PM: EM: Add em.yaml and autogen files

2025-10-22T19:44:37Z

Add a generic netlink spec in YAML format and autogenerate boilerplate code using ynl-regen.sh to introduce a generic netlink for the energy model. It allows a userspace program to read the performance domain and its energy model. It notifies the userspace program when a performance domain is created or deleted or its energy model is updated through a multicast interface. Specifically, it supports two commands: - EM_CMD_GET_PDS: Get the list of information for all performance domains. - EM_CMD_GET_PD_TABLE: Get the energy model table of a performance domain. Also, it supports three notification events: - EM_CMD_PD_CREATED: When a performance domain is created. - EM_CMD_PD_DELETED: When a performance domain is deleted. - EM_CMD_PD_UPDATED: When the energy model table of a performance domain is updated. Finally, update MAINTAINERS to include new files.

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.

Documentation: net: add flow control guide and document ethtool API

2025-09-30T07:48:31Z

Introduce a new document, flow_control.rst, to provide a comprehensive guide on Ethernet Flow Control in Linux. The guide explains how flow control works, how autonegotiation resolves pause capabilities, and how to configure it using ethtool and Netlink. In parallel, document the pause and pause-stat attributes in the ethtool.yaml netlink spec. This enables the ynl tool to generate kernel-doc comments for the corresponding enums in the UAPI header, making the C interface self-documenting. Finally, replace the legacy flow control section in phy.rst with a reference to the new document and add pointers in the relevant C source files.

IEEE 802.3ck-2022 defines counters for FEC bins and 802.3df-2024 clarifies it a bit further. Implement reporting interface through as addition to FEC stats available in ethtool. Drivers can leave bin counter uninitialized if per-lane values are provided. In this case the core will recalculate summ for the bin.

mptcp: pm: netlink: only add server-side attr when true

2025-09-22T18:51:24Z

This attribute is a boolean. No need to add it to set it to 'false'. Indeed, the default value when this attribute is not set is naturally 'false'. A few bytes can then be saved by not adding this attribute if the connection is not on the server side. This prepares the future deprecation of its attribute, in favour of a new flag.
