Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "This excludes the bulk of the x86 changes, which I will send
  separately. They have two not complex but relatively unusual conflicts
  so I will wait for other dust to settle.

  guest_memfd:

   - Add support for host userspace mapping of guest_memfd-backed memory
     for VM types that do NOT use support KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_PRIVATE
     (which isn't precisely the same thing as CoCo VMs, since x86's
     SEV-MEM and SEV-ES have no way to detect private vs. shared).

     This lays the groundwork for removal of guest memory from the
     kernel direct map, as well as for limited mmap() for
     guest_memfd-backed memory.

     For more information see:
       - commit a6ad54137af9 ("Merge branch 'guest-memfd-mmap' into HEAD")
       - guest_memfd in Firecracker:
           https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker/tree/feature/secret-hiding
       - direct map removal:
           https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250221160728.1584559-1-roypat@amazon.co.uk/
       - mmap support:
           https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250328153133.3504118-1-tabba@google.com/

  ARM:

   - Add support for FF-A 1.2 as the secure memory conduit for pKVM,
     allowing more registers to be used as part of the message payload.

   - Change the way pKVM allocates its VM handles, making sure that the
     privileged hypervisor is never tricked into using uninitialised
     data.

   - Speed up MMIO range registration by avoiding unnecessary RCU
     synchronisation, which results in VMs starting much quicker.

   - Add the dump of the instruction stream when panic-ing in the EL2
     payload, just like the rest of the kernel has always done. This
     will hopefully help debugging non-VHE setups.

   - Add 52bit PA support to the stage-1 page-table walker, and make use
     of it to populate the fault level reported to the guest on failing
     to translate a stage-1 walk.

   - Add NV support to the GICv3-on-GICv5 emulation code, ensuring
     feature parity for guests, irrespective of the host platform.

   - Fix some really ugly architecture problems when dealing with debug
     in a nested VM. This has some bad performance impacts, but is at
     least correct.

   - Add enough infrastructure to be able to disable EL2 features and
     give effective values to the EL2 control registers. This then
     allows a bunch of features to be turned off, which helps cross-host
     migration.

   - Large rework of the selftest infrastructure to allow most tests to
     transparently run at EL2. This is the first step towards enabling
     NV testing.

   - Various fixes and improvements all over the map, including one BE
     fix, just in time for the removal of the feature.

  LoongArch:

   - Detect page table walk feature on new hardware

   - Add sign extension with kernel MMIO/IOCSR emulation

   - Improve in-kernel IPI emulation

   - Improve in-kernel PCH-PIC emulation

   - Move kvm_iocsr tracepoint out of generic code

  RISC-V:

   - Added SBI FWFT extension for Guest/VM with misaligned delegation
     and pointer masking PMLEN features

   - Added ONE_REG interface for SBI FWFT extension

   - Added Zicbop and bfloat16 extensions for Guest/VM

   - Enabled more common KVM selftests for RISC-V

   - Added SBI v3.0 PMU enhancements in KVM and perf driver

  s390:

   - Improve interrupt cpu for wakeup, in particular the heuristic to
     decide which vCPU to deliver a floating interrupt to.

   - Clear the PTE when discarding a swapped page because of CMMA; this
     bug was introduced in 6.16 when refactoring gmap code.

  x86 selftests:

   - Add #DE coverage in the fastops test (the only exception that's
     guest- triggerable in fastop-emulated instructions).

   - Fix PMU selftests errors encountered on Granite Rapids (GNR),
     Sierra Forest (SRF) and Clearwater Forest (CWF).

   - Minor cleanups and improvements

  x86 (guest side):

   - For the legacy PCI hole (memory between TOLUD and 4GiB) to UC when
     overriding guest MTRR for TDX/SNP to fix an issue where ACPI
     auto-mapping could map devices as WB and prevent the device drivers
     from mapping their devices with UC/UC-.

   - Make kvm_async_pf_task_wake() a local static helper and remove its
     export.

   - Use native qspinlocks when running in a VM with dedicated
     vCPU=&gt;pCPU bindings even when PV_UNHALT is unsupported.

  Generic:

   - Remove a redundant __GFP_NOWARN from kvm_setup_async_pf() as
     __GFP_NOWARN is now included in GFP_NOWAIT.

Pull dma-mapping updates from Marek Szyprowski:

 - Refactoring of DMA mapping API to physical addresses as the primary
   interface instead of page+offset parameters

   This gets much closer to Matthew Wilcox's long term wish for
   struct-pageless IO to cacheable DRAM and is supporting memdesc
   project which seeks to substantially transform how struct page works.

   An advantage of this approach is the possibility of introducing
   DMA_ATTR_MMIO, which covers existing 'dma_map_resource' flow in the
   common paths, what in turn lets to use recently introduced
   dma_iova_link() API to map PCI P2P MMIO without creating struct page

   Developped by Leon Romanovsky and Jason Gunthorpe

 - Minor clean-up by Petr Tesarik and Qianfeng Rong

   It's a long story - the [1/N] changelog spells out the considerations

 - "Add and use memdesc_flags_t" from Matthew Wilcox gets us started on
   the memdesc project. Please see

      https://kernelnewbies.org/MatthewWilcox/Memdescs and
      https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/post/introducing-memdesc

 - "mm: remove nth_page()" from David Hildenbrand makes rather a lot of
   adjustments at various nth_page() callsites, eventually permitting
   the removal of that undesirable helper function

 - "introduce kasan.write_only option in hw-tags" from Yeoreum Yun
   creates a KASAN read-only mode for ARM, using that architecture's

   some tidying in the hugetlb folio allocation code

 - "mm: establish const-correctness for pointer parameters" from Max
   Kellermann makes quite a number of the MM API functions more accurate
   about the constness of their arguments. This was getting in the way
   of subsystems (in this case CEPH) when they attempt to improving
   their own const/non-const accuracy

 - "Cleanup free_pages() misuse" from Vishal Moola fixes a number of
   code sites which were confused over when to use free_pages() vs
   __free_pages()

 - "Add Rust abstraction for Maple Trees" from Alice Ryhl makes the
   mapletree code accessible to Rust. Required by nouveau and by its
   forthcoming successor: the new Rust Nova driver

 - "selftests/mm: split_huge_page_test: split_pte_mapped_thp
   improvements" from David Hildenbrand adds a fix and some cleanups to

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - Improve drop account scalability on NUMA hosts for RAW and UDP
     sockets and the backlog, almost doubling the Pps capacity under DoS

   - Optimize the UDP RX performance under stress, reducing contention,
     revisiting the binary layout of the involved data structs and
     implementing NUMA-aware locking. This improves UDP RX performance
     by an additional 50%, even more under extreme conditions

   - Add support for PSP encryption of TCP connections; this mechanism
     has some similarities with IPsec and TLS, but offers superior HW
     offloads capabilities

   - Ongoing work to support Accurate ECN for TCP. AccECN allows more
     than one congestion notification signal per RTT and is a building
     block for Low Latency, Low Loss, and Scalable Throughput (L4S)

   - Reorganize the TCP socket binary layout for data locality, reducing
     the number of touched cachelines in the fastpath

   - Refactor skb deferral free to better scale on large multi-NUMA
     hosts, this improves TCP and UDP RX performances significantly on
     such HW

   - Increase the default socket memory buffer limits from 256K to 4M to
     better fit modern link speeds

   - Improve handling of setups with a large number of nexthop, making
     dump operating scaling linearly and avoiding unneeded
     synchronize_rcu() on delete

   - Improve bridge handling of VLAN FDB, storing a single entry per
     bridge instead of one entry per port; this makes the dump order of
     magnitude faster on large switches

   - Restore IP ID correctly for encapsulated packets at GSO
     segmentation time, allowing GRO to merge packets in more scenarios

   - Improve netfilter matching performance on large sets

   - Improve MPTCP receive path performance by leveraging recently
     introduced core infrastructure (skb deferral free) and adopting
     recent TCP autotuning changes

   - Allow bridges to redirect to a backup port when the bridge port is
     administratively down

   - Introduce MPTCP 'laminar' endpoint that con be used only once per
     connection and simplify common MPTCP setups

   - Add RCU safety to dst-&gt;dev, closing a lot of possible races

   - A significant crypto library API for SCTP, MPTCP and IPv6 SR,
     reducing code duplication

   - Supports pulling data from an skb frag into the linear area of an
     XDP buffer

  Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

   - Generate netlink documentation from YAML using an integrated YAML
     parser

  Driver API:

   - Support using IPv6 Flow Label in Rx hash computation and RSS queue
     selection

   - Introduce API for fetching the DMA device for a given queue,
     allowing TCP zerocopy RX on more H/W setups

   - Make XDP helpers compatible with unreadable memory, allowing more
     easily building DevMem-enabled drivers with a unified XDP/skbs
     datapath

   - Add a new dedicated ethtool callback enabling drivers to provide
     the number of RX rings directly, improving efficiency and clarity
     in RX ring queries and RSS configuration

   - Introduce a burst period for the health reporter, allowing better
     handling of multiple errors due to the same root cause

   - Support for DPLL phase offset exponential moving average,
     controlling the average smoothing factor

  Device drivers:

   - Add a new Huawei driver for 3rd gen NIC (hinic3)

   - Add a new SpacemiT driver for K1 ethernet MAC

           SR-IOV VFs to sibling PFs
         - support RSS for IPSec offload
         - support exposing raw cycle counters in PTP and mlx5
         - support for disabling host PFs.

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:

 - Store ring provided buffers locally for the users, rather than stuff
   them into struct io_kiocb.

   These types of buffers must always be fully consumed or recycled in
   the current context, and leaving them in struct io_kiocb is hence not
   a good ideas as that struct has a vastly different life time.

   Basically just an architecture cleanup that can help prevent issues
   with ring provided buffers in the future.

 - Support for mixed CQE sizes in the same ring.

   Before this change, a CQ ring either used the default 16b CQEs, or it
   was setup with 32b CQE using IORING_SETUP_CQE32. For use cases where
   a few 32b CQEs were needed, this caused everything else to use big
   CQEs. This is wasteful both in terms of memory usage, but also memory
   bandwidth for the posted CQEs.

   With IORING_SETUP_CQE_MIXED, applications may use request types that
   post both normal 16b and big 32b CQEs on the same ring.

 - Add helpers for async data management, to make it harder for opcode
   handlers to mess it up.

 - Add support for multishot for uring_cmd, which ublk can use. This
   helps improve efficiency, by providing a persistent request type that
   can trigger multiple CQEs.

 - Add initial support for ring feature querying.

   We had basic support for probe operations, but the API isn't great.
   Rather than expand that, add support for QUERY which is easily
   expandable and can cover a lot more cases than the existing probe
   support. This will help applications get a better idea of what
   operations are supported on a given host.

 - zcrx improvements from Pavel:
        - Improve refill entry alignment for better caching
        - Various cleanups, especially around deduplicating normal
          memory vs dmabuf setup.
        - Generalisation of the niov size (Patch 12). It's still hard
          coded to PAGE_SIZE on init, but will let the user to specify
          the rx buffer length on setup.
        - Syscall / synchronous bufer return. It'll be used as a slow
          fallback path for returning buffers when the refill queue is
          full. Useful for tolerating slight queue size misconfiguration
          or with inconsistent load.
        - Accounting more memory to cgroups.
        - Additional independent cleanups that will also be useful for
          mutli-area support.

 - Various fixes and cleanups
