Always use the same page table walker kvm->arch.gva_walk as the entry point to convert a guest's virtual address, where the previous code used two different kvm_mmu structs depending on whether the walk included nested EPT/NPT or not. Make page fault vmexits reuse the permission checking machinery that is used for guest page faults. This is both a cleanup and a baby step towards supporting XS/XU memory permissions - Document some of the "fun" gotchas with the APIC base when creating IRQCHIPs on x86 - Remove a defunct masterclock update from kvm_xen_shared_info_init(). It could result in incorrect kvmclock due to triggering an unnecessary switch to/from masterclock mode - Skip Xen runstate time updates if time has effectively gone backwards, so that the guest doesn't report 100% steal time for a very, very long time - Drop KVM's runtime updates of the Xen PV timing CPUID leaf, as KVM was updating the wrong sub-leaf, and upstream KVM will soon provide all the information needed by userspace to populate the CPUID field itself - Fix a bug where KVM would walk a newly created rmap without holding the rmap lock (or mmu_lock) during aging - Fix a bug where aging TDP MMU SPTEs could clobber FROZEN SPTEs - Fix a variety of #DB priority bugs - Fix a class of races related to enabling Hyper-V emulation on a vCPU after the vCPU is visible to the rest of KVM - Use static calls for nested virtualization ops - Move more KVM-internal code out of x86's kvm_host.h - Enumerate support for a variety of Zhaoxin instructions that don't require explicit virtualization - Fix missing EFER validation bugs, including in the KVM_SET_SREGS* path - Harden kvm_vcpu_map() against double-mapping and thus leaking references - Misc fixes and cleanups, e.g. for largely benign syzkaller splats x86 (Intel): - Zero a vCPU's entry in VMX's Posted Interrupt Descriptor table used for IPI virtualization when the vCPU is freed, to fix a use-after-free where hardware will write to a freed vCPU's PID - Service local TLB flushes on a failed nested VM-Enter to fix a bug where KVM could miss a TLB on a future, successful VM-Enter with the same L2 VPID - Cap the maximum value shoved into the VMX Preemption Timer to workaround an erratum that affects all existing Intel CPUs that support CPUID 0x15 - Fix VPID virtualization bugs where KVM would fail to flush hardware TLBs - Harden the TDX "populate" ioctls against bad input, and to prepare for supporting in-place private<=>shared conversion x86 (AMD): - Forcefully invalidate SNP VMSA pages if their backing guest_memfd page is zapped/invalidated, e.g. due to a PUNCH_HOLE in response to a Page-State Change request - Remove a dying VM from the GA Log notifier list before the VM is actually destroyed, to fix a potential use-after-free - While FOLL_WRITE was needed in the past to trigger CoW unsharing, nowadays FOLL_LONGTERM does that already even without FOLL_WRITE, and in fact, get_user_pages() actually disallows FOLL_WRITE together with FOLL_LONGTERM. So don't pass FOLL_WRITE when registering encrypted memory regions, i.e. when pinning SEV/SEV-ES guest memory, to fix a regression with file-backed memory introduced by KVM's (correct) usage of long-term pins (This was reviewed by mm maintainers; for more information, see commit ee1a586dd1fa "KVM: SEV: Drop FOLL_WRITE for encrypted region registration") - Allocate full pages for SEV/SEV-ES {DE,EN}CRYPT ops on SNP-enabled hosts to fix a data corruption issue due to the PSP driver assigning to-be-written pages to firmware (as required by the SNP specs) - Unconditionally intercept ICBEP so that KVM generates the correct guest RIP when handling an ICEBP-induced TASK_SWITCH #VMEXIT - Harden the SNP "populate" ioctls against bad input, and to prepare for supporting in-place private<=>shared conversion Generic: - Remove kvm_debugfs_dir if kvm_init() fails after creating KVM's debugfs - Add a per-VM bitmap to track which vCPU IDs have been "claimed" but for which the vCPU isn't yet online, and use the bitmap to reject duplicate IDs before calling into arch code. This allows arch code to consume vcpu_id without having to worry about cross-vCPU clobbering (at least s390 and x86 have had related bugs) - Rework the so called "prepare" and "invalidate" guest_memfd hooks to prepare for in-place private<=>shared conversion, and clean up a few warts along the way Selftests: - Automatically allocate a full page for L2 guest stacks on x86 instead of requiring test-specific L1 guest code to carve out a portion of the L1 stack for L2 usage, and to ensure the L2 stack also adheres to the x86-64 calling convention ABI - Add a selftest to verify {Guest,Host}-Only behavior in x86's mediated PMU - Clean up nested SVM's handling of GPRs on L2<=>L1 transitions, reuse the functionality for nested VMX, and drop the ucall hack that was fudging around the lack of GPR switching on nVMX - Add a stress test to verify KVM doesn't clobber/drop #PF state, e.g. CR2, across save/restore, including when L2 is active - Add a test to verify KVM_CREATE_VM accepts exactly what is reported by KVM_CAP_VM_TYPES - Misc selftests fixes and cleanups - Fix several issues with seeding the pRNG, and rework the pRNG APIs to that the pRNG can be sanely used in host code, not just guest code - Add an IRQ test to validate virtual IRQ deliverty for IRQs wired up via KVM_IRQFD + KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING, with optional support for triggering IRQs via writes to an assigned VFIO device - Add syscall wrappers to assert success on a variety of pthreads and CPU affinity APIs - Set vCPU pthread affinity as early as possible to reduce contention issues that were surfaced by PREEMPT_LAZY, which result in runtimes of over a minute on large hosts, versus the expected ~5 seconds - Rework the PMU counters test to run each testcase using a single VM with many vCPUs for each sub-testcase, instead of using a unique VM for each sub-testcase. This cuts the runtime by ~20x Miscellaneous: - MAINTAINERS updates for vfio-ap, guest_memfd, kvm-x86. Mostly representing the status quo more accurately, but also... welcome David Hildenbrand as guest_memfd reviewer!" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (413 commits) KVM: arm64: Validate GICv5 timer PPIs before claiming ownership KVM: arm64: vgic: Reject out-of-range GICv5 PPI IDs KVM: arm64: vgic: Prevent speculative SPI array underflow KVM: arm64: vgic: Free gic_kvm_info on initialization failure KVM: arm64: Avoid mismatched accesses to 'struct kvm_nvhe_init_params' s390/vfio-ap: Fix NULL deref in status_show() during queue probe s390/vfio-ap: Fix hot-unplug skipped when last AP adapter or domain removed s390/vfio-ap: fix potential use of uninitialized apm_filtered bitmap s390/vfio-ap: Fix control domain removal in vfio_ap_mdev_cfg_remove s390/vfio-ap: Fix required lock not held during update of ap_matrix_mdev object s390/vfio-ap: Fix missing lock required to access list of ap_matrix_mdev objects s390/vfio-ap: Fix dereference matrix_mdev->kvm without checking for NULL s390/vfio-ap: Fix stale do_remove flag across iterations in vfio_ap_mdev_cfg_remove RISC-V: KVM: fix vcpu vector context handling for kernel-mode vector riscv: vector: allow non-preemptible kernel-mode vector with IRQs off riscv: vector: refactor riscv_v_start_kernel_context KVM: s390: gmap: Make prefix handling optional KVM: s390: gmap: Make CMMA optional KVM: s390: gmap: Make storage keys optional KVM: s390: Prepare gmap for a second KVM implementation ... 2026-08-25T17:59:12+00:00 Linus Torvalds torvalds@linux-foundation.org 2026-08-25T17:59:12+00:00 urn:sha1:70f5376dbdefa675adec0800e9f21f20a0dc0cbd Pull TTY / serial driver updates from Greg KH: "Here is the "big" set of tty and serial driver updates for 7.3-rc1.

By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely disable access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on weighted probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for attribute-focused workloads. - "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for userfaultfd-backed mappings" (Stanislav Kinsburskii) Extend hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by allowing the mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new hmm_range_fault_locked() helper. By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd regions while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers. - "mm: make VMA page offset handling more consistent" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Clean up and standardize how vma->vm_pgoff is accessed and manipulated across file-backed and anonymous mappings in the kernel It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(), vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while renaming rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their functionality. These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that will unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd folios. - "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" (Usama Arif) Address kernel panics and state corruption caused by MM walk callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries created during HMM migrations It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock() properly recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present THP or a standard migration entry. - "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" (Dev Jain) Refactor try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb, anonymous-lazyfree, and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated functions, laying the structural groundwork for batched anonymous large folio unmapping. - "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and additions" (Song Hu) Fix typos and fills in missing entries in the DAMON sysfs ABI document - "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs" (Gregory Price) Introduce an atomic sysfs state attribute and supporting DAX/MM infrastructure to prevent userland races when offlining and removing entire memory regions By adding an unplugged state alongside standard online modes, it enables whole-device atomic hotplug control while preserving backward compatibility. - "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Continue transitioning the kernel from the deprecated vm_flags_t type to vma_flags_t across core memory management infrastructure. It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(), unmapped area allocation, mm->def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like mlock, mprotect, and mremap. - "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" (xu xin) Refactor mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify duplicate slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM. It also adds code documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions. - "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields" (SJ Park) Clean up DAMON core structures by consistently marking internal-only fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper direct access from outer layers. It enforces encapsulation across core structures including damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct members. - "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races" (SJ Park) Address potential infinite loops, NULL dereferences, and race conditions identified in DAMON It fixes an infinite loop triggered by extreme user configurations, a NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races. - "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on RT/UP" (Brendan Jackman) Fix an NMI safety flaw in __free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks via non-PCP or isolated migration paths. It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory hotplug or large allocation frees. - "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent cleanups" (Brendan Jackman) Clean up and update page allocator nomenclature, documentation, and debug assertions. It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete VM_BUG_ON() assertions in allocation paths. - "mm/mseal: further cleanups" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Refactor and simplify the mseal implementation by clarifying API boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity. It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO, eliminates mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only to current->mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no functional changes intended. - "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive reclaim" (Ridong Chen) Resolve reclaim behavior bugs and clean up function parameters across memory reclaim paths It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead of collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete gfp_mask parameter from __node_reclaim(). - "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" (Kefeng Wang) Clean up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it removes the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP pages as non-resident. - "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants" (Kiryl Shutsemau) Two trivial cleanups in the folio split API - "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit exec expectation bugs" (SJ Park) Resolve minor operational and testing bugs in DAMON identified by Sashiko. It initializes the damos->last_applied field to prevent occasional efficiency degradation and fixes invalid memory accesses in DAMON KUnit tests during test failure handling. - "cleanup for stable_page_flags()" (Jinjiang Tu) Clean up and refactor stable_page_flags() used by /proc/kpageflags without altering functionality. It uses BIT_ULL() to prevent shift-overflow warnings on 64-bit flag bits, converts folio-specific flag checks to standard folio_test_*() helpers, and removes redundant CONFIG_PAGE_IDLE_FLAG handling. - "Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios" (Dev Jain) Extend batched folio unmapping support to file folios within userfaultfd write-protect (uffd-wp) VMAs by adding batching capabilities to pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed(). This removes special-case restrictions on uffd-wp VMAs in try_to_unmap_one(), significantly simplifying the function's control flow and complexity. - "mm/early_ioremap: clarify and clean up early_ioremap_reset()" (Sang-Heon Jeon) Clarify and clean up the architecture-specific usage of __late_set_fixmap() and __late_clear_fixmap() after early_ioremap_reset() It adds explicit documentation regarding when early_ioremap_reset() must be called and removes redundant macro definitions and reset calls in the RISC-V and ARM64 architectures. - "mm: fix reclaim storms in defrag_mode" (Johannes Weiner) Address severe performance regressions, swap storms, and spurious OOMs caused by vm.defrag_mode=1 under high memory pressure in Meta production It updates the page allocator slowpath so non-movable allocation requests actively trigger direct reclaim and direct compaction at pageblock_order scale, allowing them to claim whole pageblocks rather than spinning unproductively. - "zram: lockmap tweaks" (Sebastian Siewior) Optimize and fix lockdep tracking for zram devices by consolidating per-entry lockmaps and isolate lock classes across multiple instances This reduces memory overhead by replacing per-entry lockdep_map instances with a single map per struct zram, and assigns a dynamic lock_class_key to each instance to prevent false deadlock reports when different zram devices are backed by distinct filesystems. * tag 'mm-stable-2026-08-18-18-39' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (501 commits) selftests/mm: thuge-gen: fix test_shmget() for PAGE_SIZE check selftests/mm: unpoison pages in memory-failure teardown mm/shmem: downgrade final i_blocks check in shmem_evict_inode() to pr_warn() mm/khugepaged: replace mutex_lock/mutex_unlock usage with guard macro mm/zsmalloc: fix release order of locks in zs_page_migrate() Documentation: zram: remove sections numbering ksm: stop iterating VMAs when ksm_test_exit returns true mm: fold userfaultfd_rwp() to false without CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_PROTNONE mm/migrate: report RCU-tasks quiescent states in migrate_pages_batch() zram: use a custom key for each zram object zram: move lockmap to be per-zram instead per table selftests/mm: fix gup_longterm EINVAL error message mm: page_alloc: fix non-movable reclaim storm in defrag_mode mm: page_alloc: move capture_control to the page allocator mm: compaction: support non-movable compaction for pageblock requests mm: page_alloc: __GFP_FS lockdep annotation for direct compaction hugetlb: evaluate subpool free state while locked mm/damon: remove trailing semicolons after function definitions mm/damon/ops-common: prevent migration fallback to non-target nodes mm/damon: update outdated comment about DAMOS filter handling ... 2026-08-20T18:41:46+00:00 Linus Torvalds torvalds@linux-foundation.org 2026-08-20T18:41:46+00:00 urn:sha1:ae814200e8393fa504dd246e98fcba8f5493de28 Pull bitmap updates from Yury Norov: "The usual set of fixes, cleanups and performance improvements together with a couple of new tests: - bitmap_find_next_zero_area_off() optimization (Sunyi) - bitmap_find_next_zero_area_off(): return size when no zero area is found (Yury) - bitmap vs IDA vs Maple Tree performance test (Yury) - get rid of cpumap_print_to_pagebuf() (Yury) - use nr_node_ids in __nodemask_pr_numnodes() (Li RongQing) - bitops: make the *_bit_le functions use unsigned long (Benjamin) - bitmap scatter & gather test fix (Christophe) - use __ASSEMBLER__ in bitmap header files (Thomas)" * tag 'bitmap-for-7.3' of https://github.com/norov/linux: (25 commits) lib: test bitmap vs IDA vs Maple Tree performance for region allocations bitmap: Return size when no zero area is found media: s5p-mfc: Treat bitmap size as allocation failure crypto: ccp: Treat bitmap size as allocation failure powerpc/msi: Treat bitmap size as allocation failure ARM: dma-mapping: Treat bitmap size as allocation failure bitmap: drop bitmap_next_set_region() nodemask: reduce bitmap width to nr_node_ids in __nodemask_pr_numnodes() bitmap: Properly initialise destination bitmap for scatter & gather test lib/bitmap-str: get rid of cpumap_print_to_pagebuf() perf: Use sysfs_emit() for cpumask show callbacks PCI/sysfs: Use sysfs_emit() for cpumask show callbacks RDMA/hfi1: Use sysfs_emit() for cpumask show helper hwtracing: hisi_ptt: Use sysfs_emit() for cpumask show fpga: dfl-fme-perf: Use sysfs_emit() for cpumask show devfreq: Use sysfs_emit() for cpumask show callbacks cpu: Use sysfs_emit() for cpumask show callback x86/events: Use sysfs_emit() for cpumask show callbacks powerpc: Use sysfs_emit() for cpumask show callbacks arm: Use sysfs_emit() for cpumask show callbacks ... 2026-08-20T15:16:04+00:00 Linus Torvalds torvalds@linux-foundation.org 2026-08-20T15:16:04+00:00 urn:sha1:91ec2035134982b98fab0609a9fd8480e8217dc1 Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "One of the 'small improvements all over the place' releases for us. It's hard to draw any direct comparisons because summer vacations disrupted our patch processing (and presumably - generation) quite a bit. Quick and dirty count suggests we (Paolo and I) merged a very similar number of net (632) and net-next (648) patches. This is not telling the full story either because 1/3 to 1/2 of the net-next patches also *seem* like AI-driven low priority fixes, cleanups and clarifications. We are completely overwhelmed, of course. The glimmer of hope is that we secured sufficient LLM budget and access (thank you Meta!) to run reviews with multiple frontier models on each patch. This eliminates some hallucinations. That said, in terms of review, the LLMs can only do so much. The sad truth is that our APIs (especially for rare events like PCIe errors, timeouts etc) have always been racy, and now LLMs don't let us ignore that. I expect our direction for the next release will be to tweak the reviews a little bit more, but start shifting focus to letting the LLMs take care of the busy work - managing patchwork, automating common process complaints, editing commit messages, and maybe applying patches which already got "reviewed-by" tags from people we trust...

Centralize device ID handling in device_id.rs, removing the open-coded ACPI/OF matching logic and duplicate ID table from driver.rs - I/O: - Make I/O regions typed (with a dynamically-sized Region type for the existing untyped case), create view types representing subregions of a mapped I/O region, and add io_project!() for safely creating subviews. - Split Io into a base trait (IoBase) and an extension trait (Io) with a blanket implementation, preventing implementers from overriding provided methods that unsafe code relies on. - Add a SysMem backend for shared system memory with volatile access, and make Coherent implement Io via an I/O view type. Add IoSysMap as sum type of Mmio and SysMem. Add copying methods (memcpy_{from,to}io()) and read_val()/write_val() for typed access. - Replace dma_read!()/dma_write!() with io_read!()/io_write!() for primitives and copying methods for aggregates; drop the old macros. Convert nova-core to use I/O projection. - Fix internal shortcut rule dispatch in the register!() macro, remove unused rule arguments, and use path fragments for alias destinations - IRQ: - Make irq::Registration compatible with lifetime-bound drivers by removing the 'static bound on Handler/ThreadedHandler and replacing Devres<RegistrationInner> with direct request_irq()/free_irq() calls. Handlers can now directly own lifetime-bound device resources - PCI: - Convert IrqVectorRegistration to a lifetime-annotated owning type, giving drivers explicit control over the allocation lifetime. IrqVector embeds a resolved IrqRequest, making the conversion infallible. Remove the redundant request_irq()/request_threaded_irq() wrappers from pci::Device. - Add pci_irq_type() C helper and expose it via irq_type() on IrqVectorRegistration and IrqVector, returning PCI_IRQ_MSIX, PCI_IRQ_MSI, or PCI_IRQ_INTX. - Mark pci::Device refcount methods inline - Serdev: - Add Rust abstractions for the serial device bus, including serdev::Driver trait, serdev::Device wrapping struct serdev_device, and serdev::Adapter implementing RegistrationOps. Includes a sample driver. Markus Probst takes over as serdev maintainer for both C and Rust code - Misc: - Split ForLt into a base trait (providing the Of<'a> GAT) and an unsafe CovariantForLt subtrait guaranteeing covariance, enabling invariant types (e.g. those containing Mutex<&'bound T>) to participate in the ForLt abstraction. - Fix Coherent read past EOF returning -ERANGE instead of zero. - Fix firmware example UB by avoiding null-pointer ARef misc: - Avoid iattr allocation in kernfs listxattr by using kernfs_iattrs_noalloc(). - Unregister SoC bus on early device registration failure. - Remove unused DMA_FENCE_TRACE Kconfig symbol. - Fix /sys/module path in comment. - Refactor ISA bus init to remove nested blocks. - Remove redundant nodemask clears in numa_init(). - Add kernel-doc for fwnode_operations and sys_soc.h, mark internal property data as private for kernel-doc, and add property.h/fwnode.h to driver-api infrastructure docs. - Add MAINTAINERS entry for sys_soc.h" * tag 'driver-core-7.3-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/driver-core/driver-core: (129 commits) rust: pci: expose the allocated interrupt type PCI: Add pci_irq_type() to query the allocated interrupt type rust: pci: remove request_irq() and request_threaded_irq() from Device rust: pci: resolve IRQ in index() and embed IrqRequest in IrqVector rust: pci: convert IrqVectorRegistration to a lifetime-managed owning type kernfs: avoid iattr allocation in listxattr rust: serdev: use ThisModule::as_ptr() instead of field access ACPI/IORT: use platform_device_set_fwnode() ACPI/APMT: use platform_device_set_fwnode() firmware_loader: do not queue completed sysfs fallback requests rust: pci: Mark Device refcount methods inline rust: irq: make Registration compatible with lifetime-bound drivers rust: net/phy: remove expansion from doc rust: dma: return zero for Coherent reads past EOF rust: io: register: use path fragment for alias destination rust: io: register: remove unused rule arguments rust: io: register: dispatch shortcut rules internally MAINTAINERS: add sys_soc.h to DRIVER CORE rust: debugfs: remove unsafe blocks from traits impl for Vec rust: debugfs: migrate debugfs traits requirements to zerocopy ... 2026-08-19T02:40:29+00:00 Linus Torvalds torvalds@linux-foundation.org 2026-08-19T02:40:29+00:00 urn:sha1:368cf60c36a3a311474de08e52dc6314df3b06ce Pull SoC driver updates from Arnd Bergmann: "The SoC driver changes once more consist of many small fixes and cleanups, that are to a large part the result of automated testing. On platform specific drivers, this includes SoC specific code for xilinx, freescale/nxp, qualcomm, TI, aspeed, omap, tegra, samsung, rockchip, renesas, ixp4xx. In firmware drivers, we see a similar picture for SCMI and qcomtee. Aside from these, we see actual new hardware support in a few areas: - The Apple platform gets a new driver for low power states - Updates to Qualcomm platform drivers add several new hardware specific features and additional SoCs. - Amlogic SoC support for A1 and T7 is added - The Mediatek MMSYS driver is refactored as a cleanup" * tag 'soc-drivers-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/soc/soc: (157 commits) soc: qcom: make QCOM_PDR_MSG selectable soc: qcom: ubwc: Fix missing include soc: qcom: ubwc: Fix link error when QCOM_SMEM=n media: iris: Guard the QCOM_UBWC_CONFIG select with QCOM_SMEM drm/msm: Guard the QCOM_UBWC_CONFIG select with QCOM_SMEM dt-bindings: arm: qcom,ids: Add SoC ID for Snapdragon SDM 850 firmware: xilinx: Clear firmware notifiers across kexec transitions firmware: xilinx: Release all peripheral devices from firmware firmware: xilinx: Add support to clear EL3 PM state firmware: xilinx: Propagate actual error from feature check firmware: xilinx: Use TF-A feature check for TF-A-specific APIs bus: fsl-mc: drop unused assignment of acpi_device_id::driver_data soc: fsl: qe: check platform_driver_register() in qe_ic_of_init() phy: lynx-10g: use RCW override procedure for dynamic protocol change soc: fsl: guts: implement the RCW override procedure dt-bindings: fsl: layerscape-dcfg: define DCFG_DCSR region soc: fsl: guts: make fsl_soc_data available after fsl_guts_init() soc: fsl: guts: make it easier to determine on which SoC we are running soc: fsl: guts: add a central fsl_guts_read() function soc: fsl: guts: add a global structure to hold state ...
