The perf subsystem assumes that all counters are by default per-CPU. So
the user space tool reads a counter from each CPU. However, the IOMMU
counters are system-wide and can be read from any CPU. Here we use a CPU
mask to restrict counting to one CPU to handle the issue. (with CPU
hotplug notifier to choose a different CPU if the chosen one is taken
off-line).
The CPU is exposed to /sys/bus/event_source/devices/dmar*/cpumask for
the user space perf tool.

Implement the IOMMU performance monitor capability, which supports the
collection of information about key events occurring during operation of
the remapping hardware, to aid performance tuning and debug.
The IOMMU perfmon support is implemented as part of the IOMMU driver and
interfaces with the Linux perf subsystem.
The IOMMU PMU has the following unique features compared with the other
PMUs.
- Support counting. Not support sampling.
- Does not support per-thread counting. The scope is system-wide.
- Support per-counter capability register. The event constraints can be
enumerated.
- The available event and event group can also be enumerated.
- Extra Enhanced Commands are introduced to control the counters.
Add a new variable, struct iommu_pmu *pmu, to in the struct intel_iommu
to track the PMU related information.
Add iommu_pmu_register() and iommu_pmu_unregister() to register and
unregister a IOMMU PMU. The register function setup the IOMMU PMU ops
and invoke the standard perf_pmu_register() interface to register a PMU
in the perf subsystem. This patch only exposes the functions. The
following patch will enable them in the IOMMU driver.
The IOMMU PMUs can be found under /sys/bus/event_source/devices/dmar*
The available filters and event format can be found at the format folder
$ ls /sys/bus/event_source/devices/dmar1/format/
event event_group filter_ats filter_ats_en filter_page_table

Commit 98de59bfe4 ("take calculation of final prot in
security_mmap_file() into a helper") caused ima_file_mmap() to receive the
protections requested by the application and not those applied by the
kernel.
After restoring the original MMAP_CHECK behavior, existing attestation
servers might be broken due to not being ready to handle new entries
(previously missing) in the IMA measurement list.
Restore the original correct MMAP_CHECK behavior, instead of keeping the
current buggy one and introducing a new hook with the correct behavior.
Otherwise, there would have been the risk of IMA users not noticing the
problem at all, as they would actively have to update the IMA policy, to
switch to the correct behavior.
Also, introduce the new MMAP_CHECK_REQPROT hook to keep the current
behavior, so that IMA users could easily fix a broken attestation server,
although this approach is discouraged due to potentially missing
measurements.

Arm SCMI updates for v6.3
The main addition is a unified userspace interface for SCMI irrespective
of the underlying transport and along with some changed to refactor the
SCMI stack probing sequence.
1. SCMI unified userspace interface
This is to have a unified way of testing an SCMI platform firmware
implementation for compliance, fuzzing etc., from the perspective of
the non-secure OSPM irrespective of the underlying transport supporting
SCMI. It is just for testing/development and not a feature intended fo
use in production.
Currently an SCMI Compliance Suite[1] can only work by injecting SCMI
messages using the mailbox test driver only which makes it transport
specific and can't be used with any other transport like virtio,
smc/hvc, optee, etc. Also the shared memory can be transport specific
and it is better to even abstract/hide those details while providing
the userspace access. So in order to scale with any transport, we need
a unified interface for the same.
In order to achieve that, SCMI "raw mode support" is being added through
debugfs which is more configurable as well. A userspace application
can inject bare SCMI binary messages into the SCMI core stack; such
messages will be routed by the SCMI regular kernel stack to the backend
platform firmware using the configured transport transparently. This
eliminates the to know about the specific underlying transport
internals that will be taken care of by the SCMI core stack itself.
Further no additional changes needed in the device tree like in the
mailbox-test driver.
[1] https://gitlab.arm.com/tests/scmi-tests
2. Refactoring of the SCMI stack probing sequence
On some platforms, SCMI transport can be provide by OPTEE/TEE which
introduces certain dependency in the probe ordering. In order to address
the same, the SCMI bus is split into its own module which continues to
be initialized at subsys_initcall, while the SCMI core stack, including
its various transport backends (like optee, mailbox, virtio, smc), is
now moved into a separate module at module_init level.
This allows the other possibly dependent subsystems to register and/or
access SCMI bus well before the core SCMI stack and its dependent
transport backends.

There is a custom (non-USB IF) extension to the USB standard:
https://wicg.github.io/webusb/
This specification is published under the W3C Community Contributor
Agreement, which in particular allows to implement the specification
without any royalties.
The specification allows USB gadgets to announce an URL to landing
page and describes a Javascript interface for websites to interact
with the USB gadget, if the user allows it. It is currently
supported by Chromium-based browsers, such as Chrome, Edge and
Opera on all major operating systems including Linux.
This patch adds optional support for Linux-based USB gadgets
wishing to expose such a landing page.
During device enumeration, a host recognizes that the announced
USB version is at least 2.01, which means, that there are BOS
descriptors available. The device than announces WebUSB support
using a platform device capability. This includes a vendor code
under which the landing page URL can be retrieved using a
vendor-specific request.
Previously, the BOS descriptors would unconditionally include an
LPM related descriptor, as BOS descriptors were only ever sent
when the device was LPM capable. As this is no longer the case,
this patch puts this descriptor behind a lpm_capable condition.
Usage is modeled after os_desc descriptors:
echo 1 > webusb/use
echo "https://www.kernel.org" > webusb/landingPage
lsusb will report the device with the following lines:
Platform Device Capability:
bLength 24
bDescriptorType 16

The DCC is a DMA Engine designed to capture and store data
during system crash or software triggers. The DCC operates
based on user inputs via the debugfs interface. The user gives
addresses as inputs and these addresses are stored in the
dcc sram. In case of a system crash or a manual software
trigger by the user through the debugfs interface,
the dcc captures and stores the values at these addresses.
This patch contains the driver which has all the methods
pertaining to the debugfs interface, auxiliary functions to
support all the four fundamental operations of dcc namely
read, write, read/modify/write and loop. The probe method
here instantiates all the resources necessary for dcc to
operate mainly the dedicated dcc sram where it stores the
values. The DCC driver can be used for debugging purposes
without going for a reboot since it can perform software
triggers as well based on user inputs.
Also add the documentation for debugfs entries which explains
the functionalities of each debugfs file that has been created
for dcc.
The following is the justification of using debugfs interface
over the other alternatives like sysfs/ioctls
i) As can be seen from the debugfs attribute descriptions,
some of the debugfs attribute files here contains multiple
arguments which needs to be accepted from the user. This goes
against the design style of sysfs.
ii) The user input patterns have been made simple and convenient
in this case with the use of debugfs interface as user doesn't
need to shuffle between different files to execute one instruction
as was the case on using other alternatives.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.2-rc1.
The "big" change in here is the addition of a new macro,
container_of_const() that will preserve the "const-ness" of a pointer
passed into it.
The "problem" of the current container_of() macro is that if you pass
in a "const *", out of it can comes a non-const pointer unless you
specifically ask for it. For many usages, we want to preserve the
"const" attribute by using the same call. For a specific example, this
series changes the kobj_to_dev() macro to use it, allowing it to be
used no matter what the const value is. This prevents every subsystem
from having to declare 2 different individual macros (i.e.
kobj_const_to_dev() and kobj_to_dev()) and having the compiler enforce
the const value at build time, which having 2 macros would not do
either.
The driver for all of this have been discussions with the Rust kernel
developers as to how to properly mark driver core, and kobject,
objects as being "non-mutable". The changes to the kobject and driver
core in this pull request are the result of that, as there are lots of
paths where kobjects and device pointers are not modified at all, so
marking them as "const" allows the compiler to enforce this.
So, a nice side affect of the Rust development effort has been already
to clean up the driver core code to be more obvious about object
rules.
All of this has been bike-shedded in quite a lot of detail on lkml
with different names and implementations resulting in the tiny version
we have in here, much better than my original proposal. Lots of
subsystem maintainers have acked the changes as well.
Other than this change, included in here are smaller stuff like:
- kernfs fixes and updates to handle lock contention better
- vmlinux.lds.h fixes and updates

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"
