Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the large set of char/misc and other driver subsystem changes
  for 6.2-rc1. Nothing earth-shattering in here at all, just a lot of
  new driver development and minor fixes.

  Highlights include:

   - fastrpc driver updates

   - iio new drivers and updates

   - habanalabs driver updates for new hardware and features

   - slimbus driver updates

   - speakup module parameters added to aid in boot time configuration

   - i2c probe_new conversions for lots of different drivers

   - other small driver fixes and additions

  One semi-interesting change in here is the increase of the number of
  misc dynamic minors available to 1048448 to handle new huge-cpu
  systems.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  problems"

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Add options to the osnoise tracer:
      - 'panic_on_stop' option that panics the kernel if osnoise is
        greater than some user defined threshold.
      - 'preempt' option, to test noise while preemption is disabled
      - 'irq' option, to test noise when interrupts are disabled

 - Add .percent and .graph suffix to histograms to give different
   outputs

 - Add nohitcount to disable showing hitcount in histogram output

 - Add new __cpumask() to trace event fields to annotate that a unsigned
   long array is a cpumask to user space and should be treated as one.

 - Add trace_trigger kernel command line parameter to enable trace event
   triggers at boot up. Useful to trace stack traces, disable tracing
   and take snapshots.

 - Fix x86/kmmio mmio tracer to work with the updates to lockdep

 - Unify the panic and die notifiers

 - Add back ftrace_expect reference that is used to extract more

Pull x86 core updates from Borislav Petkov:

 - Add the call depth tracking mitigation for Retbleed which has been
   long in the making. It is a lighterweight software-only fix for
   Skylake-based cores where enabling IBRS is a big hammer and causes a
   significant performance impact.

   What it basically does is, it aligns all kernel functions to 16 bytes
   boundary and adds a 16-byte padding before the function, objtool
   collects all functions' locations and when the mitigation gets
   applied, it patches a call accounting thunk which is used to track
   the call depth of the stack at any time.

   When that call depth reaches a magical, microarchitecture-specific
   value for the Return Stack Buffer, the code stuffs that RSB and
   avoids its underflow which could otherwise lead to the Intel variant
   of Retbleed.

   This software-only solution brings a lot of the lost performance
   back, as benchmarks suggest:

       https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220915111039.092790446@infradead.org/

   That page above also contains a lot more detailed explanation of the
   whole mechanism

 - Implement a new control flow integrity scheme called FineIBT which is
   based on the software kCFI implementation and uses hardware IBT
   support where present to annotate and track indirect branches using a
   hash to validate them

 - Other misc fixes and cleanups

The sample code for using cpumask used the wrong field for the
__get_cpumask() helper. It used "cpus" which is the bitmask (but would
still give a proper example) instead of the "cpum" that was there to be
used.

Although it produces the same output, fix it, because it's an example and
is confusing in how to properly use the cpumask() macro.

Pull landlock updates from Mickaël Salaün:
 "This adds file truncation support to Landlock, contributed by Günther
  Noack. As described by Günther [1], the goal of these patches is to
  work towards a more complete coverage of file system operations that
  are restrictable with Landlock.

  The known set of currently unsupported file system operations in
  Landlock is described at [2]. Out of the operations listed there,
  truncate is the only one that modifies file contents, so these patches
  should make it possible to prevent the direct modification of file
  contents with Landlock.

  The new LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE access right covers both the
  truncate(2) and ftruncate(2) families of syscalls, as well as open(2)
  with the O_TRUNC flag. This includes usages of creat() in the case
  where existing regular files are overwritten.

  Additionally, this introduces a new Landlock security blob associated
  with opened files, to track the available Landlock access rights at
  the time of opening the file. This is in line with Unix's general
  approach of checking the read and write permissions during open(), and
  associating this previously checked authorization with the opened
  file. An ongoing patch documents this use case [3].

  In order to treat truncate(2) and ftruncate(2) calls differently in an
  LSM hook, we split apart the existing security_path_truncate hook into
  security_path_truncate (for truncation by path) and
  security_file_truncate (for truncation of previously opened files)"

Besides, fix missing release functions in mdpy_fb_remove().

<title>vfio/ap/ccw/samples: Fix device_register() unwind path</title>

We always need to call put_device() if device_register() fails.
All vfio drivers calling device_register() include a similar unwind
stack via gotos, therefore split device_unregister() into its
device_del() and put_device() components in the unwind path, and
add a goto target to handle only the put_device() requirement.

<title>rust: macros: take string literals in `module!`</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.stealer.net/cgit.cgi/user/sven/linux.git/commit/?id=b13c9880f909ca5e406d9b3d061359fd8fb0c514'/>
<id>urn:sha1:b13c9880f909ca5e406d9b3d061359fd8fb0c514</id>
<content type='text'>
Instead of taking binary string literals, take string ones instead,
making it easier for users to define a module, i.e. instead of
calling `module!` like:

    module! {
        ...
        name: b"rust_minimal",
        ...
    }

now it is called as:

    module! {
        ...
        name: "rust_minimal",
        ...
    }

Module names, aliases and license strings are restricted to
ASCII only. However, the author and the description allows UTF-8.

For simplicity (avoid parsing), escape sequences and raw string
literals are not yet handled.
