Orchestrator (LUO), and possibly for other future clients
- "kho: simplify state machine and enable dynamic updates" (Pasha Tatashin)
increases the flexibility of KEXEC Handover. Also preparation for LUO
- "Live Update Orchestrator" (Pasha Tatashin)
is a major new feature targeted at cloud environments. Quoting the
cover letter:
This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel
subsystem designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a
kexec-based reboot. This capability is critical for cloud
environments, allowing hypervisors to be updated with minimal
downtime for running virtual machines. LUO achieves this by
preserving the state of selected resources, such as memory,
devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition.
As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving
memfd file descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such
as guest RAM or any other large memory region, to be maintained in
RAM across the kexec reboot.
Mike Rappaport merits a mention here, for his extensive review and
testing work.
- "kexec: reorganize kexec and kdump sysfs" (Sourabh Jain)
moves the kexec and kdump sysfs entries from /sys/kernel/ to
/sys/kernel/kexec/ and adds back-compatibility symlinks which can
hopefully be removed one day
- "kho: fixes for vmalloc restoration" (Mike Rapoport)
fixes a BUG which was being hit during KHO restoration of vmalloc()
regions

Eliminate overly chatty logs that are printed during almost every test.
These logs are adding more noise than value. If a test cares about this
information it can log it itself. This is especially true as the VFIO
selftests gains support for multiple devices in a single test (which
multiplies all these logs).

Add a driver to VFIO selftests for Intel DSA devices.
For now the driver only supports up to 32 batches and 1024 copies per
batch, which were the limits of the hardware this commit was tested
with. This is sufficient to generate 9+ minutes of DMA memcpys at a rate
of over 30 GB/s. This should be plenty to stress test VFIO and the IOMMU.
The driver does not yet support requesting interrupt handles, as this
commit was not tested against hardware that requires it.

Add a driver for the Intel CBDMA device. This driver is based on and
named after the Linux driver for this device (drivers/dma/ioat/) and
also based on previous work from Peter Shier <pshier@google.com>.
The driver aims to be as simple as possible. It uses a single descriptor
to issue DMA operations, and only supports the copy operation. For "DMA
storms", the driver kicks off the maximum number of maximum-sized DMA
operations. On Skylake server parts, this was 2^16-1 copies of size 2M
and lasts about 15 seconds.
Create symlinks to drivers/dma/ioat/{hw.h,registers.h} to get access to
various macros (e.g. IOAT_CHANCMD_RESET) and struct ioat_dma_descriptor.

Add a driver framework to VFIO selftests, so that devices can generate
DMA and interrupts in a common way that can be then utilized by tests.
This will enable VFIO selftests to exercise real hardware DMA and
interrupt paths, without needing any device-specific code in the test
itself.
Subsequent commits will introduce drivers for specific devices.
