Pull gpio updates from Bartosz Golaszewski:
 "GPIO core:
   - extend the gpio-regmap abstraction layer with more features
     allowing users to override configuration setting, translate
     register values and masks and enable/disable interrupts
   - extend GPIO kunit tests with suites verifying probe ordering by
     software node devlink support and software node hogs
   - shrink GPIO kunit initialization code
   - coding style updates (remove commas from sentinels where
     applicable)
   - with all users now converted treewide to using real firmware node
     links for software node GPIO lookup: remove the deprecated
     label-matching mechanism from from GPIO core
   - drop redundant return value check of nonseekable_open() in
     gpiolib-cdev
   - use IRQ trigger helpers where applicable

  Driver updates:
   - refactor error paths and logging in gpio-nomadik
   - use more modern interfaces for getting resources in gpio-rockchip,
     gpio-bt8xx and gpio-pca9570
   - add missing MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() to gpio-sifive and gpio-vf610
   - drop unused FILONOFF macro from gpio-rcar
   - extend build coverage of ioport GPIO drivers with COMPILE_TEST=y
   - only enable the gpio-rtd driver by default with ARCH_REALTEK=y to
     avoid bloating the build
   - refactor coding style in several drivers
   - use correct endianess translation in gpio-pcf85x
   - add wake-up interrupt support to gpio-mvebu
   - apply initial value in direction output setter in gpio-by-pinctrl

  Misc:
   - replace linux/gpio.h inclusions treewide with linux/gpio/legacy.h
     which now exports all the deprecated APIs
   - select GPIOLIB_LEGACY in Kconfig where required treewide
   - use software nodes for gpio-keys in MFD drivers

  Devicetree bindings:
   - describe the realtek rtd1625 GPIO controller
   - document new models for gpio-pca95xx and gpio-cadence
   - document new property in gpio-rockchip"

Pull treewide timer related cleanups from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Remove the leftover CLOCK_TICK_RATE which has been scheduled for
   removal more than a decade ago along with some now empty asm/timex.h
   files.

 - Consolidate delay timer calibration

   The construct of having a define in a header requires that
   architectures provided asm/timex.h for no reason. Also the function
   name for reading the delay timer is confusing at best.

   Use a config switch to enable that functionality and rename the
   function to delay_read_timer() to make the purpose clear.

   This removes some more now empty asm/timex.h files as well.

Pull generic entry code updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Make syscall user dispatching configurable

   Not all architectures can makes use of syscall user dispatching.
   Allow them to disable the feature completely.

 - Consolidate stack randomization for the generic entry code and the
   architectures using it.

   Stack randomization on syscall entry was sprinkled throughout the
   architecture specific low level entry code and in some cases at the
   wrong points, e.g. before establishing state, which violates the
   non-instrumentable constraints of that code.

   Clean this up by integrating stack randomization into the generic
   entry code helpers so that it is invoked at the earliest possible
   point right after establishing state and converting all generic entry
   code using architecture over.

 - Clean up the syscall number handling in the generic entry code. It
   works correctly for architectures which have a separate return value
   storage in pt_regs, but fails to distinguish the case where user
   space handed in -1 as syscall number from the case where the entry
   code rejects it by returning -1 to the callers. Aside of that the
   return value functionality of those interfaces is not really
   intuitive.

   Fix this by separating the decision to reject a syscall (user
   dispatch, ptrace, seccomp ...) from the potential modification of the
   syscall number through these mechanisms.

   This solves most of the problems for architectures which do not have
   a separate return value storage in pt_regs except for the case where
   a tracepoint has a BPF script or a probe attached which overwrite
   both the syscall number and the return value. But that's a problem
   which cannot be solved in the generic code, that only can be
   addressed by separating the storage model in the affected
   architectures.

gpio: legacy interface cleanups for 7.3

These are the remaining patches for legacy gpio interface
cleanup, ensuring that files referencing them are sure to
have CONFIG_GPIOLIB_LEGACY set, and use linux/gpio/legacy.h
instead of the old linux/gpio.h header.

There are a few more patches already merged in other
branches for 7.3, including soc, led, net and media. Once
everything is in, we can apply the final patches to turn
off CONFIG_GPIOLIB_LEGACY by default and remove the obsolete
header file.

This branch is based on the immutable ib-mfd-legacy-gpio-7.3
branch from mfd.git to avoid a conflict in the rohm drivers.

linux/gpio.h should no longer be used, convert these instead to
linux/gpio/legacy.h for the sh boards using the legacy interfaces,
or remove it where it is not needed at all.

Many board files on sh reference the legacy gpiolib interfaces that
are becoming optional. To ensure the boards can keep building, select
CONFIG_GPIOLIB_LEGACY on each of the boards that have one of the
hardcoded calls.

This has been scheduled for removal more than a decade ago and the comments

Remove it along with various now empty asm/timex.h files.

The return value of that function is boolean and tells the caller whether
to permit the syscall processing or not.

Rename the function so the purpose is clear and make the return type bool.

<id>urn:sha1:7ba2ba74713c83408cc942b60dd869ab2c34c84f</id>
<content type='text'>
The return value of __secure_computing() currently uses 0 to indicate
that a system call should be allowed, and -1 to indicate that it should
be blocked/killed. This 0/-1 pattern is non-intuitive for a security
check function and makes the control flow at the call sites less readable.

Furthermore, any potential future changes to these return values would
require a high-risk, error-prone audit of all its users across different
architectures.

Sanitize this logic by converting the return type of __secure_computing()
to a proper boolean, where 'true' explicitly means 'allow' and 'false'
means 'fail/deny'.

Update all the two dozen or so call sites across the tree to align with
this new boolean semantic. No functional changes are intended, as the
callers still return -1 to the lower-level assembly entry code upon
seccomp denial.

Rename the function to __seccomp_permit_syscall() so that the purpose is
entirely clear.

[ tglx: Rename the function ]
