Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "A moderately busy cycle for documentation this time around: - The most significant change is the replacement of the old kernel-doc script (a monstrous collection of Perl regexes that predates the Git era) with a Python reimplementation. That, too, is a horrifying collection of regexes, but in a much cleaner and more maintainable structure that integrates far better with the Sphinx build system. This change has been in linux-next for the full 6.15 cycle; the small number of problems that turned up have been addressed, seemingly to everybody's satisfaction. The Perl kernel-doc script remains in tree (as scripts/kernel-doc.pl) and can be used with a command-line option if need be.

2025-05-21misc: amd-sbi: Add support for AMD_SBI IOCTLAkshay Gupta
The present sbrmi module only support reporting power via hwmon. However, AMD data center range of processors support various system management functionality using custom protocols defined in Advanced Platform Management Link (APML) specification. Register a miscdevice, which creates a device /dev/sbrmiX with an IOCTL interface for the user space to invoke the APML Mailbox protocol, which is already defined in sbrmi_mailbox_xfer(). The APML protocols depend on a set of RMI registers. Having an IOCTL as a single entry point will help in providing synchronization among these protocols as multiple transactions on RMI register set may create race condition. Support for other protocols will be added in subsequent patches. APML mailbox protocol returns additional error codes written by SMU firmware in the out-bound register 0x37. These errors include, invalid core, message not supported over platform and others. This additional error codes can be used to provide more details to user space. Open-sourced and widely used https://github.com/amd/esmi_oob_library will continue to provide user-space programmable API.

Much like device numbers that used to be assigned by LANANA (see commit ebdf4040c16df5 ("Documentation: update the devices.txt documentation"), ioctl numbers list is maintained by general kernel community nowadays instead of contacting Michael directly as he's long stepped down from kernel-related activity (his last LKML message was from 2003 [1] and he's in CREDITS since the beginning of kernel's git history). Also, patch (including one to update ioctl numbers list) submission now follows process as described in Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst rather than sending patches directly to Linus as in the distant past. Update the docs to reflect that.

2025-04-17powerpc/pseries: Add a char driver for physical-attestation RTASHaren Myneni
The RTAS call ibm,physical-attestation is used to retrieve information about the trusted boot state of the firmware and hypervisor on the system, and also Trusted Platform Modules (TPM) data if the system is TCG 2.0 compliant. This RTAS interface expects the caller to define different command structs such as RetrieveTPMLog, RetrievePlatformCertificat and etc, in a work area with a maximum size of 4K bytes and the response buffer will be returned in the same work area. The current implementation of this RTAS function is in the user space but allocation of the work area is restricted with the system lockdown. So this patch implements this RTAS function in the kernel and expose to the user space with open/ioctl/read interfaces. PAPR (2.13+ 21.3 ibm,physical-attestation) defines RTAS function: - Pass the command struct to obtain the response buffer for the specific command. - This RTAS function is sequence RTAS call and has to issue RTAS call multiple times to get the complete response buffer (max 64K). The hypervisor expects the first RTAS call with the sequence 1 and the subsequent calls with the sequence number returned from the previous calls. Expose these interfaces to user space with a /dev/papr-physical-attestation character device using the following programming model: int devfd = open("/dev/papr-physical-attestation"); int fd = ioctl(devfd, PAPR_PHY_ATTEST_IOC_HANDLE, struct papr_phy_attest_io_block); - The user space defines the command struct and requests the response for any command. - Obtain the complete response buffer and returned the buffer as blob to the command specific FD. size = read(fd, buf, len); - Can retrieve the response buffer once or multiple times until the end of BLOB buffer.

2025-04-17powerpc/pseries: Add papr-platform-dump character driver for dump retrievalHaren Myneni
ibm,platform-dump RTAS call in combination with writable mapping /dev/mem is issued to collect platform dump from the hypervisor and may need multiple calls to get the complete dump. The current implementation uses rtas_platform_dump() API provided by librtas library to issue these RTAS calls. But /dev/mem access by the user space is prohibited under system lockdown. The solution should be to restrict access to RTAS function in user space and provide kernel interfaces to collect dump. This patch adds papr-platform-dump character driver and expose standard interfaces such as open / ioctl/ read to user space in ways that are compatible with lockdown. PAPR (7.3.3.4.1 ibm,platform-dump) provides a method to obtain the complete dump: - Each dump will be identified by ID called dump tag. - A sequence of RTAS calls have to be issued until retrieve the complete dump. The hypervisor expects the first RTAS call with the sequence 0 and the subsequent calls with the sequence number returned from the previous calls. - The hypervisor returns "dump complete" status once the complete dump is retrieved. But expects one more RTAS call from the partition with the NULL buffer to invalidate dump which means the dump will be removed in the hypervisor. - Sequence of calls are allowed with different dump IDs at the same time but not with the same dump ID. Expose these interfaces to user space with a /dev/papr-platform-dump character device using the following programming model: int devfd = open("/dev/papr-platform-dump", O_RDONLY); int fd = ioctl(devfd,PAPR_PLATFORM_DUMP_IOC_CREATE_HANDLE, &dump_id) - Restrict user space to access with the same dump ID. Typically we do not expect user space requests the dump again for the same dump ID. char *buf = malloc(size); length = read(fd, buf, size); - size should be minimum 1K based on PAPR and <= 4K based on RTAS work area size. It will be restrict to RTAS work area size. Using 4K work area based on the current implementation in librtas library - Each read call issue RTAS call to get the data based on the size requirement and returns bytes returned from the hypervisor - If the previous call returns dump complete status, the next read returns 0 like EOF. ret = ioctl(PAPR_PLATFORM_DUMP_IOC_INVALIDATE, &dump_id) - RTAS call with NULL buffer to invalidates the dump. The read API should use the file descriptor obtained from ioctl based on dump ID so that gets dump contents for the corresponding dump ID. Implemented support in librtas (rtas_platform_dump()) for this new ABI to support system lockdown.

To issue ibm,get-indices, ibm,set-dynamic-indicator and ibm,get-dynamic-sensor-state in the user space, the RMO buffer is allocated for the work area which is restricted under system lockdown. So instead of user space execution, the kernel will provide /dev/papr-indices interface to execute these RTAS calls. The user space assigns data in papr_indices_io_block struct depends on the specific HCALL and passes to the following ioctls: PAPR_INDICES_IOC_GET: Use for ibm,get-indices. Returns a get-indices handle fd to read data. PAPR_DYNAMIC_SENSOR_IOC_GET: Use for ibm,get-dynamic-sensor-state.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rdma/rdma Pull fwctl subsystem from Jason Gunthorpe: "fwctl is a new subsystem intended to bring some common rules and order to the growing pattern of exposing a secure FW interface directly to userspace. Unlike existing places like RDMA/DRM/VFIO/uacce that are exposing a device for datapath operations fwctl is focused on debugging, configuration and provisioning of the device. It will not have the necessary features like interrupt delivery to support a datapath. This concept is similar to the long standing practice in the "HW" RAID space of having a device specific misc device to manage the RAID controller FW. fwctl generalizes this notion of a companion debug and management interface that goes along with a dataplane implemented in an appropriate subsystem. There have been three LWN articles written discussing various aspects of this: https://lwn.net/Articles/955001/ https://lwn.net/Articles/969383/ https://lwn.net/Articles/990802/ This includes three drivers to launch the subsystem: - CXL provides a vendor scheme for executing commands and a way to learn the 'command effects' (ie the security properties) of such commands. The fwctl driver allows access to these mechanism within the fwctl security model - mlx5 is family of networking products, the driver supports all current Mellanox HW still receiving FW feature updates. This includes RDMA multiprotocol NICs like ConnectX and the Bluefield family of Smart NICs. - AMD/Pensando Distributed Services card is a multi protocol Smart NIC with a multi PCI function design. fwctl works on the management PCI function following a 'command effects' model similar to CXL" * tag 'for-linus-fwctl' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rdma/rdma: (30 commits) pds_fwctl: add Documentation entries pds_fwctl: add rpc and query support pds_fwctl: initial driver framework pds_core: add new fwctl auxiliary_device pds_core: specify auxiliary_device to be created pds_core: make pdsc_auxbus_dev_del() void cxl: Fixup kdoc issues for include/cxl/features.h fwctl/cxl: Add documentation to FWCTL CXL cxl/test: Add Set Feature support to cxl_test cxl/test: Add Get Feature support to cxl_test cxl: Add support to handle user feature commands for set feature cxl: Add support to handle user feature commands for get feature cxl: Add support for fwctl RPC command to enable CXL feature commands cxl: Move cxl feature command structs to user header cxl: Add FWCTL support to CXL mlx5: Create an auxiliary device for fwctl_mlx5 fwctl/mlx5: Support for communicating with mlx5 fw fwctl: Add documentation fwctl: FWCTL_RPC to execute a Remote Procedure Call to device firmware taint: Add TAINT_FWCTL ...

2025-03-21Drivers: hv: Introduce mshv_root module to expose /dev/mshv to VMMsNuno Das Neves
Provide a set of IOCTLs for creating and managing child partitions when running as root partition on Hyper-V. The new driver is enabled via CONFIG_MSHV_ROOT. A brief overview of the interface: MSHV_CREATE_PARTITION is the entry point, returning a file descriptor representing a child partition. IOCTLs on this fd can be used to map memory, create VPs, etc. Creating a VP returns another file descriptor representing that VP which in turn has another set of corresponding IOCTLs for running the VP, getting/setting state, etc. MSHV_ROOT_HVCALL is a generic "passthrough" hypercall IOCTL which can be used for a number of partition or VP hypercalls. This is for hypercalls that do not affect any state in the kernel driver, such as getting and setting VP registers and partition properties, translating addresses, etc. It is "passthrough" because the binary input and output for the hypercall is only interpreted by the VMM - the kernel driver does nothing but insert the VP and partition id where necessary (which are always in the same place), and execute the hypercall.

2025-03-06fwctl: Basic ioctl dispatch for the character deviceJason Gunthorpe
Each file descriptor gets a chunk of per-FD driver specific context that allows the driver to attach a device specific struct to. The core code takes care of the memory lifetime for this structure. The ioctl dispatch and design is based on what was built for iommufd. The ioctls have a struct which has a combined in/out behavior with a typical 'zero pad' scheme for future extension and backwards compatibility. Like iommufd some shared logic does most of the ioctl marshaling and compatibility work and table dispatches to some function pointers for each unique ioctl. This approach has proven to work quite well in the iommufd and rdma subsystems. Allocate an ioctl number space for the subsystem.

2025-02-10blk-crypto: add ioctls to create and prepare hardware-wrapped keysEric Biggers
Until this point, the kernel can use hardware-wrapped keys to do encryption if userspace provides one -- specifically a key in ephemerally-wrapped form. However, no generic way has been provided for userspace to get such a key in the first place. Getting such a key is a two-step process. First, the key needs to be imported from a raw key or generated by the hardware, producing a key in long-term wrapped form. This happens once in the whole lifetime of the key. Second, the long-term wrapped key needs to be converted into ephemerally-wrapped form. This happens each time the key is "unlocked". In Android, these operations are supported in a generic way through KeyMint, a userspace abstraction layer. However, that method is Android-specific and can't be used on other Linux systems, may rely on proprietary libraries, and also misleads people into supporting KeyMint features like rollback resistance that make sense for other KeyMint keys but don't make sense for hardware-wrapped inline encryption keys. Therefore, this patch provides a generic kernel interface for these operations by introducing new block device ioctls: - BLKCRYPTOIMPORTKEY: convert a raw key to long-term wrapped form. - BLKCRYPTOGENERATEKEY: have the hardware generate a new key, then return it in long-term wrapped form. - BLKCRYPTOPREPAREKEY: convert a key from long-term wrapped form to ephemerally-wrapped form.

Adds a misc driver for Marvell CN10K DPI(DMA Engine) device's physical function which initializes DPI DMA hardware's global configuration and enables hardware mailbox channels between physical function (PF) and it's virtual functions (VF). VF device drivers (User space drivers) use this hw mailbox to communicate any required device configuration on it's respective VF device. Accordingly, this DPI PF driver provisions the VF device resources. At the hardware level, the DPI physical function (PF) acts as a management interface to setup the VF device resources, VF devices are only provisioned to handle or control the actual DMA Engine's data transfer capabilities.

2024-04-11ntsync: Introduce NTSYNC_IOC_CREATE_SEM.Elizabeth Figura
This corresponds to the NT syscall NtCreateSemaphore(). Semaphores are one of three types of object to be implemented in this driver, the others being mutexes and events. An NT semaphore contains a 32-bit counter, and is signaled and can be acquired when the counter is nonzero. The counter has a maximum value which is specified at creation time. The initial value of the semaphore is also specified at creation time. There are no restrictions on the maximum and initial value. Each object is exposed as an file, to which any number of fds may be opened. When all fds are closed, the object is deleted. Objects hold a pointer to the ntsync_device that created them. The device's reference count is driven by struct file.

Poll length and budget parameters can be set independently of system defaults. - Introduce struct net_hotdata, to make sure read-mostly global config variables fit in as few cache lines as possible. - Add optional per-nexthop statistics to ease monitoring / debug of ECMP imbalance problems. - Support TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT in MPTCP. - Ensure that IPv6 temporary addresses' preferred lifetimes are long enough, compared to other configured lifetimes, and at least 2 sec. - Support forwarding of ICMP Error messages in IPSec, per RFC 4301. - Add support for the independent control state machine for bonding per IEEE 802.1AX-2008 5.4.15 in addition to the existing coupled control state machine. - Add "network ID" to MCTP socket APIs to support hosts with multiple disjoint MCTP networks. - Re-use the mono_delivery_time skbuff bit for packets which user space wants to be sent at a specified time. Maintain the timing information while traversing veth links, bridge etc. - Take advantage of MSG_SPLICE_PAGES for RxRPC DATA and ACK packets. - Simplify many places iterating over netdevs by using an xarray instead of a hash table walk (hash table remains in place, for use on fastpaths). - Speed up scanning for expired routes by keeping a dedicated list. - Speed up "generic" XDP by trying harder to avoid large allocations. - Support attaching arbitrary metadata to netconsole messages. Things we sprinkled into general kernel code: - Enforce VM_IOREMAP flag and range in ioremap_page_range and introduce VM_SPARSE kind and vm_area_[un]map_pages (used by bpf_arena). - Rework selftest harness to enable the use of the full range of ksft exit code (pass, fail, skip, xfail, xpass). Netfilter: - Allow userspace to define a table that is exclusively owned by a daemon (via netlink socket aliveness) without auto-removing this table when the userspace program exits. Such table gets marked as orphaned and a restarting management daemon can re-attach/regain ownership. - Speed up element insertions to nftables' concatenated-ranges set type. Compact a few related data structures. BPF: - Add BPF token support for delegating a subset of BPF subsystem functionality from privileged system-wide daemons such as systemd through special mount options for userns-bound BPF fs to a trusted & unprivileged application. - Introduce bpf_arena which is sparse shared memory region between BPF program and user space where structures inside the arena can have pointers to other areas of the arena, and pointers work seamlessly for both user-space programs and BPF programs. - Introduce may_goto instruction that is a contract between the verifier and the program. The verifier allows the program to loop assuming it's behaving well, but reserves the right to terminate it. - Extend the BPF verifier to enable static subprog calls in spin lock critical sections. - Support registration of struct_ops types from modules which helps projects like fuse-bpf that seeks to implement a new struct_ops type. - Add support for retrieval of cookies for perf/kprobe multi links. - Support arbitrary TCP SYN cookie generation / validation in the TC layer with BPF to allow creating SYN flood handling in BPF firewalls. - Add code generation to inline the bpf_kptr_xchg() helper which improves performance when stashing/popping the allocated BPF objects. Wireless: - Add SPP (signaling and payload protected) AMSDU support. - Support wider bandwidth OFDMA, as required for EHT operation. Driver API: - Major overhaul of the Energy Efficient Ethernet internals to support new link modes (2.5GE, 5GE), share more code between drivers (especially those using phylib), and encourage more uniform behavior. Convert and clean up drivers. - Define an API for querying per netdev queue statistics from drivers. - IPSec: account in global stats for fully offloaded sessions. - Create a concept of Ethernet PHY Packages at the Device Tree level, to allow parameterizing the existing PHY package code. - Enable Rx hashing (RSS) on GTP protocol fields. Misc: - Improvements and refactoring all over networking selftests. - Create uniform module aliases for TC classifiers, actions, and packet schedulers to simplify creating modprobe policies. - Address all missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() warnings in networking. - Extend the Netlink descriptions in YAML to cover message encapsulation or "Netlink polymorphism", where interpretation of nested attributes depends on link type, classifier type or some other "class type".

2024-01-12fbdev/intelfb: Remove driverThomas Zimmermann
From looking at the PCI IDs, every device supported by intelfb is also supported by i915. Anyone still using intelfb should please move on to i915, which does everything intelfb does but better. Removing intelfb is motivated by the driver's excessive use of the global screen_info state. The state belongs to architecture and firmware code; device drivers should not attempt to access it. But fixing intelfb would require a significant change in the driver's probing logic. As intelfb has been obsolete for nearly 2 decades, it is probably not worth the effort. Let's just remove it. Also remove the related documentation. Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Acked-by: Maik Broemme <mbroemme@libmpq.org> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
2023-12-13powerpc/pseries/papr-sysparm: Expose character device to user spaceNathan Lynch
Until now the papr_sysparm APIs have been kernel-internal. But user space needs access to PAPR system parameters too. The only method available to user space today to get or set system parameters is using sys_rtas() and /dev/mem to pass RTAS-addressable buffers between user space and firmware. This is incompatible with lockdown and should be deprecated. So provide an alternative ABI to user space in the form of a /dev/papr-sysparm character device with just two ioctl commands (get and set). The data payloads involved are small enough to fit in the ioctl argument buffer, making the code relatively simple. Exposing the system parameters through sysfs has been considered but it would be too awkward: * The kernel currently does not have to contain an exhaustive list of defined system parameters. This is a convenient property to maintain because we don't have to update the kernel whenever a new parameter is added to PAPR. Exporting a named attribute in sysfs for each parameter would negate this. * Some system parameters are text-based and some are not. * Retrieval of at least one system parameter requires input data, which a simple read-oriented interface can't support.

2023-12-13powerpc/pseries: Add papr-vpd character driver for VPD retrievalNathan Lynch
PowerVM LPARs may retrieve Vital Product Data (VPD) for system components using the ibm,get-vpd RTAS function. We can expose this to user space with a /dev/papr-vpd character device, where the programming model is: struct papr_location_code plc = { .str = "", }; /* obtain all VPD */ int devfd = open("/dev/papr-vpd", O_RDONLY); int vpdfd = ioctl(devfd, PAPR_VPD_CREATE_HANDLE, &plc); size_t size = lseek(vpdfd, 0, SEEK_END); char *buf = malloc(size); pread(devfd, buf, size, 0); When a file descriptor is obtained from ioctl(PAPR_VPD_CREATE_HANDLE), the file contains the result of a complete ibm,get-vpd sequence. The file contents are immutable from the POV of user space. To get a new view of the VPD, the client must create a new handle. This design choice insulates user space from most of the complexities that ibm,get-vpd brings: * ibm,get-vpd must be called more than once to obtain complete results. * Only one ibm,get-vpd call sequence should be in progress at a time; interleaved sequences will disrupt each other. Callers must have a protocol for serializing their use of the function. * A call sequence in progress may receive a "VPD changed, try again" status, requiring the client to abandon the sequence and start over. The memory required for the VPD buffers seems acceptable, around 20KB for all VPD on one of my systems. And the value of the /rtas/ibm,vpd-size DT property (the estimated maximum size of VPD) is consistently 300KB across various systems I've checked. I've implemented support for this new ABI in the rtas_get_vpd() function in librtas, which the vpdupdate command currently uses to populate its VPD database. I've verified that an unmodified vpdupdate binary generates an identical database when using a librtas.so that prefers the new ABI. Along with the papr-vpd.h header exposed to user space, this introduces a common papr-miscdev.h uapi header to share a base ioctl ID with similar drivers to come.

2023-03-09char: pcmcia: remove all the driversJiri Slaby
These char PCMCIA drivers are buggy[1] and receive only minimal care. It was concluded[2], that we should try to remove most pcmcia drivers completely. Let's start with these char broken one. Note that I also removed a UAPI header: include/uapi/linux/cm4000_cs.h. I found only coccinelle tests mentioning some ioctl constants from that file. But they are not actually used. Anyway, should someone complain, we may reintroduce the header (or its parts).

2022-11-30iommufd: File descriptor, context, kconfig and makefilesJason Gunthorpe
This is the basic infrastructure of a new miscdevice to hold the iommufd IOCTL API. It provides: - A miscdevice to create file descriptors to run the IOCTL interface over - A table based ioctl dispatch and centralized extendable pre-validation step - An xarray mapping userspace ID's to kernel objects. The design has multiple inter-related objects held within in a single IOMMUFD fd - A simple usage count to build a graph of object relations and protect against hostile userspace racing ioctls The only IOCTL provided in this patch is the generic 'destroy any object by handle' operation.

2022-08-22Remove DECnet support from kernelStephen Hemminger
DECnet is an obsolete network protocol that receives more attention from kernel janitors than users. It belongs in computer protocol history museum not in Linux kernel. It has been "Orphaned" in kernel since 2010. The iproute2 support for DECnet was dropped in 5.0 release. The documentation link on Sourceforge says it is abandoned there as well. Leave the UAPI alone to keep userspace programs compiling. This means that there is still an empty neighbour table for AF_DECNET. The table of /proc/sys/net entries was updated to match current directories and reformatted to be alphabetical.

2022-06-27scsi: dpt_i2o: Remove obsolete driverArnd Bergmann
The dpt_i2o driver was fixed to stop using virt_to_bus() in 2008, but it still has a stale reference in an error handling code path that could never work. I submitted a patch to fix this reference earlier, but Hannes Reinecke suggested that removing the driver may be just as good here. The i2o driver layer was removed in 2015 with commit 4a72a7af462d ("staging: remove i2o subsystem"), but the even older dpt_i2o scsi driver stayed around. The last non-cleanup patches I could find were from Miquel van Smoorenburg and Mark Salyzyn back in 2008, they might know if there is any chance of the hardware still being used anywhere.
