Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"Loongarch:
- Add more CPUCFG mask bits
- Improve feature detection
- Add lazy load support for FPU and binary translation (LBT) register
state
- Fix return value for memory reads from and writes to in-kernel
devices
- Add support for detecting preemption from within a guest
- Add KVM steal time test case to tools/selftests
ARM:
- Add support for FEAT_IDST, allowing ID registers that are not
implemented to be reported as a normal trap rather than as an UNDEF
exception
- Add sanitisation of the VTCR_EL2 register, fixing a number of
UXN/PXN/XN bugs in the process
- Full handling of RESx bits, instead of only RES0, and resulting in
SCTLR_EL2 being added to the list of sanitised registers
- More pKVM fixes for features that are not supposed to be exposed to
guests
- Make sure that MTE being disabled on the pKVM host doesn't give it
the ability to attack the hypervisor
- Allow pKVM's host stage-2 mappings to use the Force Write Back
version of the memory attributes by using the "pass-through'
encoding
- Fix trapping of ICC_DIR_EL1 on GICv5 hosts emulating GICv3 for the
guest
- Preliminary work for guest GICv5 support
- A bunch of debugfs fixes, removing pointless custom iterators
stored in guest data structures
- A small set of FPSIMD cleanups
- Selftest fixes addressing the incorrect alignment of page
allocation
- Other assorted low-impact fixes and spelling fixes
RISC-V:
- Fixes for issues discoverd by KVM API fuzzing in
kvm_riscv_aia_imsic_has_attr(), kvm_riscv_aia_imsic_rw_attr(), and
kvm_riscv_vcpu_aia_imsic_update()
- Allow Zalasr, Zilsd and Zclsd extensions for Guest/VM
- Transparent huge page support for hypervisor page tables
- Adjust the number of available guest irq files based on MMIO
register sizes found in the device tree or the ACPI tables
- Add RISC-V specific paging modes to KVM selftests
- Detect paging mode at runtime for selftests
s390:
- Performance improvement for vSIE (aka nested virtualization)
- Completely new memory management. s390 was a special snowflake that
enlisted help from the architecture's page table management to
build hypervisor page tables, in particular enabling sharing the
last level of page tables. This however was a lot of code (~3K
lines) in order to support KVM, and also blocked several features.
The biggest advantages is that the page size of userspace is
completely independent of the page size used by the guest:
userspace can mix normal pages, THPs and hugetlbfs as it sees fit,
and in fact transparent hugepages were not possible before. It's
also now possible to have nested guests and guests with huge pages
running on the same host
- Maintainership change for s390 vfio-pci
- Small quality of life improvement for protected guests
x86:
- Add support for giving the guest full ownership of PMU hardware
(contexted switched around the fastpath run loop) and allowing
direct access to data MSRs and PMCs (restricted by the vPMU model).
KVM still intercepts access to control registers, e.g. to enforce
event filtering and to prevent the guest from profiling sensitive
host state. This is more accurate, since it has no risk of
contention and thus dropped events, and also has significantly less
overhead.
For more information, see the commit message for merge commit
bf2c3138ae36 ("Merge tag 'kvm-x86-pmu-6.20' ...")
- Disallow changing the virtual CPU model if L2 is active, for all
the same reasons KVM disallows change the model after the first
KVM_RUN
- Fix a bug where KVM would incorrectly reject host accesses to PV
MSRs when running with KVM_CAP_ENFORCE_PV_FEATURE_CPUID enabled,
even if those were advertised as supported to userspace,
- Fix a bug with protected guest state (SEV-ES/SNP and TDX) VMs,
where KVM would attempt to read CR3 configuring an async #PF entry
- Fail the build if EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL or EXPORT_SYMBOL is used in KVM
(for x86 only) to enforce usage of EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_KVM_INTERNAL.
Only a few exports that are intended for external usage, and those
are allowed explicitly
- When checking nested events after a vCPU is unblocked, ignore
-EBUSY instead of WARNing. Userspace can sometimes put the vCPU
into what should be an impossible state, and spurious exit to
userspace on -EBUSY does not really do anything to solve the issue
- Also throw in the towel and drop the WARN on INIT/SIPI being
blocked when vCPU is in Wait-For-SIPI, which also resulted in
playing whack-a-mole with syzkaller stuffing architecturally
impossible states into KVM
- Add support for new Intel instructions that don't require anything
beyond enumerating feature flags to userspace
- Grab SRCU when reading PDPTRs in KVM_GET_SREGS2
- Add WARNs to guard against modifying KVM's CPU caps outside of the
intended setup flow, as nested VMX in particular is sensitive to
unexpected changes in KVM's golden configuration
- Add a quirk to allow userspace to opt-in to actually suppress EOI
broadcasts when the suppression feature is enabled by the guest
(currently limited to split IRQCHIP, i.e. userspace I/O APIC).
Sadly, simply fixing KVM to honor Suppress EOI Broadcasts isn't an
option as some userspaces have come to rely on KVM's buggy behavior
(KVM advertises Supress EOI Broadcast irrespective of whether or
not userspace I/O APIC supports Directed EOIs)
- Clean up KVM's handling of marking mapped vCPU pages dirty
- Drop a pile of *ancient* sanity checks hidden behind in KVM's
unused ASSERT() macro, most of which could be trivially triggered
by the guest and/or user, and all of which were useless
- Fold "struct dest_map" into its sole user, "struct rtc_status", to
make it more obvious what the weird parameter is used for, and to
allow fropping these RTC shenanigans if CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=n
- Bury all of ioapic.h, i8254.h and related ioctls (including
KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP) behind CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=y
- Add a regression test for recent APICv update fixes
- Handle "hardware APIC ISR", a.k.a. SVI, updates in
kvm_apic_update_apicv() to consolidate the updates, and to
co-locate SVI updates with the updates for KVM's own cache of ISR
information
- Drop a dead function declaration
- Minor cleanups
x86 (Intel):
- Rework KVM's handling of VMCS updates while L2 is active to
temporarily switch to vmcs01 instead of deferring the update until
the next nested VM-Exit.
The deferred updates approach directly contributed to several bugs,
was proving to be a maintenance burden due to the difficulty in
auditing the correctness of deferred updates, and was polluting
"struct nested_vmx" with a growing pile of booleans
- Fix an SGX bug where KVM would incorrectly try to handle EPCM page
faults, and instead always reflect them into the guest. Since KVM
doesn't shadow EPCM entries, EPCM violations cannot be due to KVM
interference and can't be resolved by KVM
- Fix a bug where KVM would register its posted interrupt wakeup
handler even if loading kvm-intel.ko ultimately failed
- Disallow access to vmcb12 fields that aren't fully supported,
mostly to avoid weirdness and complexity for FRED and other
features, where KVM wants enable VMCS shadowing for fields that
conditionally exist
- Print out the "bad" offsets and values if kvm-intel.ko refuses to
load (or refuses to online a CPU) due to a VMCS config mismatch
x86 (AMD):
- Drop a user-triggerable WARN on nested_svm_load_cr3() failure
- Add support for virtualizing ERAPS. Note, correct virtualization of
ERAPS relies on an upcoming, publicly announced change in the APM
to reduce the set of conditions where hardware (i.e. KVM) *must*
flush the RAP
- Ignore nSVM intercepts for instructions that are not supported
according to L1's virtual CPU model
- Add support for expedited writes to the fast MMIO bus, a la VMX's
fastpath for EPT Misconfig
- Don't set GIF when clearing EFER.SVME, as GIF exists independently
of SVM, and allow userspace to restore nested state with GIF=0
- Treat exit_code as an unsigned 64-bit value through all of KVM
- Add support for fetching SNP certificates from userspace
- Fix a bug where KVM would use vmcb02 instead of vmcb01 when
emulating VMLOAD or VMSAVE on behalf of L2
- Misc fixes and cleanups
x86 selftests:
- Add a regression test for TPR<=>CR8 synchronization and IRQ masking
- Overhaul selftest's MMU infrastructure to genericize stage-2 MMU
support, and extend x86's infrastructure to support EPT and NPT
(for L2 guests)
- Extend several nested VMX tests to also cover nested SVM
- Add a selftest for nested VMLOAD/VMSAVE
- Rework the nested dirty log test, originally added as a regression
test for PML where KVM logged L2 GPAs instead of L1 GPAs, to
improve test coverage and to hopefully make the test easier to
understand and maintain
guest_memfd:
- Remove kvm_gmem_populate()'s preparation tracking and half-baked
hugepage handling. SEV/SNP was the only user of the tracking and it
can do it via the RMP
- Retroactively document and enforce (for SNP) that
KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE and KVM_TDX_INIT_MEM_REGION require the
source page to be 4KiB aligned, to avoid non-trivial complexity for
something that no known VMM seems to be doing and to avoid an API
special case for in-place conversion, which simply can't support
unaligned sources
- When populating guest_memfd memory, GUP the source page in common
code and pass the refcounted page to the vendor callback, instead
of letting vendor code do the heavy lifting. Doing so avoids a
looming deadlock bug with in-place due an AB-BA conflict betwee
mmap_lock and guest_memfd's filemap invalidate lock
Generic:
- Fix a bug where KVM would ignore the vCPU's selected address space
when creating a vCPU-specific mapping of guest memory. Actually
this bug could not be hit even on x86, the only architecture with
multiple address spaces, but it's a bug nevertheless"

even after memory pressure is relieved and regular kworkers become
available to service them.

KVM mediated PMU support for 6.20
Add support for mediated PMUs, where KVM gives the guest full ownership of PMU
hardware (contexted switched around the fastpath run loop) and allows direct
access to data MSRs and PMCs (restricted by the vPMU model), but intercepts
access to control registers, e.g. to enforce event filtering and to prevent the
guest from profiling sensitive host state.
To keep overall complexity reasonable, mediated PMU usage is all or nothing
for a given instance of KVM (controlled via module param). The Mediated PMU
is disabled default, partly to maintain backwards compatilibity for existing
setup, partly because there are tradeoffs when running with a mediated PMU that
may be non-starters for some use cases, e.g. the host loses the ability to
profile guests with mediated PMUs, the fastpath run loop is also a blind spot,
entry/exit transitions are more expensive, etc.
Versus the emulated PMU, where KVM is "just another perf user", the mediated
PMU delivers more accurate profiling and monitoring (no risk of contention and
thus dropped events), with significantly less overhead (fewer exits and faster
emulation/programming of event selectors) E.g. when running Specint-2017 on
a single-socket Sapphire Rapids with 56 cores and no-SMT, and using perf from
within the guest:
Perf command:
a. basic-sampling: perf record -F 1000 -e 6-instructions -a --overwrite
b. multiplex-sampling: perf record -F 1000 -e 10-instructions -a --overwrite
Guest performance overhead:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Test case | emulated vPMU | all passthrough | passthrough with |
| | | | event filters |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| basic-sampling | 33.62% | 4.24% | 6.21% |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| multiplex-sampling | 79.32% | 7.34% | 10.45% |

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Scheduler Kconfig space updates:
- Further consolidate configurable preemption modes (Peter Zijlstra)
Reduce the number of architectures that are allowed to offer
PREEMPT_NONE and PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, reducing the number of
preemption models from four to just two: 'full' and 'lazy' on
up-to-date architectures (arm64, loongarch, powerpc, riscv, s390,
x86).
None and voluntary are only available as legacy features on
platforms that don't implement lazy preemption yet, or which don't
even support preemption.
The goal is to eventually remove cond_resched() and voluntary
preemption altogether.
RSEQ based 'scheduler time slice extension' support (Thomas Gleixner
and Peter Zijlstra):
This allows a thread to request a time slice extension when it enters
a critical section to avoid contention on a resource when the thread
is scheduled out inside of the critical section.
- Add fields and constants for time slice extension
- Provide static branch for time slice extensions
- Add statistics for time slice extensions
- Add prctl() to enable time slice extensions
- Implement sys_rseq_slice_yield()
- Implement syscall entry work for time slice extensions
- Implement time slice extension enforcement timer
- Reset slice extension when scheduled
- Implement rseq_grant_slice_extension()

- Allow registering RSEQ with slice extension
- Move slice_ext_nsec to debugfs
- Lower default slice extension
- selftests/rseq: Add rseq slice histogram script
Scheduler performance/scalability improvements:
- Update rq->avg_idle when a task is moved to an idle CPU, which
improves the scalability of various workloads (Shubhang Kaushik)
- Reorder fields in 'struct rq' for better caching (Blake Jones)
- Fair scheduler SMP NOHZ balancing code speedups (Shrikanth Hegde):
- Move checking for nohz cpus after time check
- Change likelyhood of nohz.nr_cpus
- Remove nohz.nr_cpus and use weight of cpumask instead
- Avoid false sharing for sched_clock_irqtime (Wangyang Guo)
- Cleanups (Yury Norov):
- Drop useless cpumask_empty() in find_energy_efficient_cpu()
- Simplify task_numa_find_cpu()
- Use cpumask_weight_and() in sched_balance_find_dst_group()
DL scheduler updates:
- Add a deadline server for sched_ext tasks (by Andrea Righi and Joel
Fernandes, with fixes by Peter Zijlstra)
RT scheduler updates:
- Skip currently executing CPU in rto_next_cpu() (Chen Jinghuang)
Entry code updates and performance improvements (Jinjie Ruan)

- Rework syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work() for architecture reuse
- Add arch_ptrace_report_syscall_entry/exit()
- Inline syscall_exit_work() and syscall_trace_enter()

- Rename cfs_rq::avg_vruntime to ::sum_w_vruntime & helper functions
- Introduce and use the vruntime_cmp() and vruntime_op() wrappers for
wrapped-signed aritmetics
- Sort out 'blocked_load*' namespace noise

For benchmarking or debugging purpose, we usually want to control SMT
via boot parameter and sysfs knobs. So add HOTPLUG_SMT implementation.
1. Boot parameters:
nosmt: Disable SMT, can be enabled via sysfs knobs.
nosmt=force: Disable SMT, cannot be enabled via sysfs knobs.
2. Runtime sysfs controls:
Write "on", "off", "forceoff" or the number of SMT threads (1, 2, ...)
to /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control.

Pull vfs initrd removal from Christian Brauner:
"Remove the deprecated linuxrc-based initrd code path and related dead
code. The linuxrc initrd path was deprecated in 2020 and this series
completes its removal. If we see real-life regressions we'll revert.
The core change removes handle_initrd() and init_linuxrc() — the
entire flow that ran /linuxrc from an initrd, pivoted roots, and
handed off to the real root filesystem. With that gone, initrd_load()
becomes void (no longer short-circuits prepare_namespace()),
rd_load_image() is simplified to always load /initrd.image instead of
taking a path, and rd_load_disk() is deleted.
The /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev sysctl and its backing variable are
removed since they only existed for linuxrc to communicate the real
root device back to the kernel.
The no-op load_ramdisk= and prompt_ramdisk= parameters are dropped,
and noinitrd and ramdisk_start= gain deprecation warnings.
Initramfs is entirely unaffected. The non-linuxrc initrd path
(root=/dev/ram0) is preserved but now carries a deprecation warning
targeting January 2027 removal"

Add a new module parameter 'panic_on_stall_time' that triggers a panic
when a workqueue stall persists for longer than the specified duration
in seconds.
Unlike 'panic_on_stall' which counts accumulated stall events, this
parameter triggers based on the duration of a single continuous stall.
This is useful for catching truly stuck workqueues rather than
accumulating transient stalls.
Usage:
workqueue.panic_on_stall_time=120
This would panic if any workqueue pool has been stalled for 120 seconds
or more.
The stall duration is measured from the workqueue last progress
(poll_ts) which accounts for legitimate system stalls.

Add a kernel config option to set the default value of
workqueue.panic_on_stall, similar to CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_SOFTLOCKUP_PANIC,
CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HARDLOCKUP_PANIC and CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HUNG_TASK_PANIC.
This allows setting the number of workqueue stalls before triggering
a kernel panic at build time, which is useful for high-availability
systems that need consistent panic-on-stall, in other words, those
servers which run with CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_*_PANIC=y already.
The default remains 0 (disabled). Setting it to 1 will panic on the
first stall, and higher values will panic after that many stall
warnings. The value can still be overridden at runtime via the
workqueue.panic_on_stall boot parameter or sysfs.

Some platforms require panic handling to execute on a specific CPU for
crash dump to work reliably. This can be due to firmware limitations,
interrupt routing constraints, or platform-specific requirements where
only a single CPU is able to safely enter the crash kernel.
Add the panic_force_cpu= kernel command-line parameter to redirect panic
execution to a designated CPU. When the parameter is provided, the CPU
that initially triggers panic forwards the panic context to the target CPU
via IPI, which then proceeds with the normal panic and kexec flow.
The IPI delivery is implemented as a weak function
(panic_smp_redirect_cpu) so architectures with NMI support can override it
for more reliable delivery.
If the specified CPU is invalid, offline, or a panic is already in
progress on another CPU, the redirection is skipped and panic continues on
the current CPU.

The softlockup_panic sysctl is currently a binary option: panic
immediately or never panic on soft lockups.
Panicking on any soft lockup, regardless of duration, can be overly
aggressive for brief stalls that may be caused by legitimate operations.
Conversely, never panicking may allow severe system hangs to persist
undetected.
Extend softlockup_panic to accept an integer threshold, allowing the
kernel to panic only when the normalized lockup duration exceeds N
watchdog threshold periods. This provides finer-grained control to
distinguish between transient delays and persistent system failures.
The accepted values are:
- 0: Don't panic (unchanged)
- 1: Panic when duration >= 1 * threshold (20s default, original behavior)
- N > 1: Panic when duration >= N * threshold (e.g., 2 = 40s, 3 = 60s.)
The original behavior is preserved for values 0 and 1, maintaining full
backward compatibility while allowing systems to tolerate brief lockups
while still catching severe, persistent hangs.

Add a dedicated ".dm-verity" keyring for root hash signature
verification, similar to the ".fs-verity" keyring used by fs-verity.
By default the keyring is unused retaining the exact same old behavior.
For systems that provision additional keys only intended for dm-verity
images during boot, the dm_verity.keyring_unsealed=1 kernel parameter
leaves the keyring open.
We want to use this in systemd as a way add keys during boot that are
only used for creating dm-verity devices for later mounting and nothing
else. The discoverable disk image (DDI) spec at [1] heavily relies on
dm-verity and we would like to expand this even more. This will allow us
to do that in a fully backward compatible way.
Once provisioning is complete, userspace restricts and activates it for
dm-verity verification. If userspace fully seals the keyring then it
gains the guarantee that no new keys can be added.

The SPCR provided console on x86 is only available as a boot console when
earlycon is provided on the kernel command line, and will not be present in
/proc/consoles.
While it's possible to retain the boot console with the keep_bootcon
parameter, that leaves the console using the less efficient 8250_early driver.
Users wanting to use the firmware suggested console (to avoid maintaining
unique serial console parameters for different server models in large fleets)
with the conventional driver have to parse the kernel log for the console
parameters and reinsert them.
[ 0.005091] ACPI: SPCR 0x000000007FFB5000 000059 (v04 ALASKA A M I 01072009 INTL 20250404)
[ 0.073387] ACPI: SPCR: console: uart,io,0x3f8,115200
In commit
0231d00082f6 ("ACPI: SPCR: Make SPCR available to x86")¹
the SPCR console was only added as an option for earlycon but not as an
ordinary console so users don't see console output changes.
So users can opt in to an automatic SPCR console, make ACPI init add it if
acpi=spcr is set.

vsprintf.c uses a mix of the `kernel.kptr_restrict` sysctl and the
`hash_pointers` boot param to control pointer hashing. But that wasn't
possible to tell without looking at the source code.
They have a different focus and purpose. To avoid wasting the time of
users trying to use one instead of the other, simply have them reference
each other in the Documentation.

Xen can support console_io hypercalls for any domains, not just dom0,
depending on DEBUG and XSM policies. These hypercalls can be very useful
for development and debugging.
Introduce a kernel command line option xen_console_io to enable the
usage of console_io hypercalls for any domain upon request. When
xen_console_io is not specified, the current behavior is retained.

Legacy resctrl features are enumerated by X86_FEATURE_* flags. These may be
overridden by quirks to disable features in the case of errata. Users can use
kernel command line options to either disable a feature, or to force enable
a feature that was disabled by a quirk.
A different approach is needed for hardware features that do not have an
X86_FEATURE_* flag.
Update parsing of the "rdt=" boot parameter to call the telemetry driver
directly to handle new "perf" and "energy" options that controls activation of
telemetry monitoring of the named type. By itself a "perf" or "energy" option
controls the forced enabling or disabling (with ! prefix) of all event groups
of the named type. A ":guid" suffix allows for fine grained control per event
group.

libata.force=max_sec=<number of 512B sectors>
e.g. libata.force=max_sec=8191
or
libata.force=max_sec=2048
This will allow the user to set an arbitrary maximum command size
(dev->max_sectors) using libata.force.

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.

Use-after-free and double-free bugs can be very difficult to track down.
The kernel is good at tracking these and preventing bad pages from being
used/created through simple checks gated behind "check_pages_enabled".
Currently, the only ways to enable this flag is by building with
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, or as a side effect of other checks such as
init_on_{alloc, free}, page_poisoning, or debug_pagealloc among others.
These solutions are powerful, but may often be too coarse in balancing
the performance vs. safety that a user may want, particularly in
latency-sensitive production environments.
Introduce a new boot parameter "check_pages", which enables page checking
with no other side effects. It takes kstrbool-able inputs as an argument
(i.e. 0/1, true/false, on/off, ...). This patch is backwards-compatible;
setting CONFIG_DEBUG_VM still enables page checking.

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"This has been another busy cycle for documentation, with a lot of
build-system thrashing. That work should slow down from here on out.
- The various scripts and tools for documentation were spread out in
several directories; now they are (almost) all coalesced under
tools/docs/. The holdout is the kernel-doc script, which cannot be
easily moved without some further thought.
- As the amount of Python code increases, we are accumulating modules
that are imported by multiple programs. These modules have been
pulled together under tools/lib/python/ -- at least, for
documentation-related programs. There is other Python code in the
tree that might eventually want to move toward this organization.
- The Perl kernel-doc.pl script has been removed. It is no longer
used by default, and nobody has missed it, least of all anybody who
actually had to look at it.
- The docs build was controlled by a complex mess of makefilese that
few dared to touch. Mauro has moved that logic into a new program
(tools/docs/sphinx-build-wrapper) that, with any luck at all, will
be far easier to understand and maintain.
- The get_feat.pl program, used to access information under
Documentation/features/, has been rewritten in Python, bringing an
end to the use of Perl in the docs subsystem.
- The top-level README file has been reorganized into a more
reader-friendly presentation.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"There are quite a few interesting things here, including new hardware
support, new features, some bug fixes and documentation updates. In
addition, there are a usual bunch of minor fixes and cleanups all
over.
In the new hardware support category, there are intel_pstate and
intel_rapl driver updates to support new processors, Panther Lake,
Wildcat Lake, Noval Lake, and Diamond Rapids in the OOB mode, OPP and
bandwidth allocation support in the tegra186 cpufreq driver, and
JH7110S SOC support in dt-platdev cpufreq.
The new features are the PM QoS CPU latency limit for suspend-to-idle,
the netlink support for the energy model management, support for
terminating system suspend via a wakeup event during the sync of file
systems, configurable number of hibernation compression threads, the
runtime PM auto-cleanup macros, and the "poweroff" PM event that is
expected to be used during system shutdown.
Bugs are mostly fixed in cpuidle governors, but there are also fixes
elsewhere, like in the amd-pstate cpufreq driver.
Documentation updates include, but are not limited to, a new doc on
debugging shutdown hangs, cross-referencing fixes and cleanups in the
intel_pstate documentation, and updates of comments in the core
hibernation code.

Kumar)
- Minor improvements to various cpufreq drivers (Christian Marangi,
Hal Feng, Jie Zhan, Marco Crivellari, Miaoqian Lin, and Shuhao Fu)

process while it is syncing file systems (Samuel Wu, Rafael
Wysocki)
- Add WQ_UNBOUND to pm_wq workqueue (Marco Crivellari)
- Add runtime PM wrapper macros for ACQUIRE()/ACQUIRE_ERR() and use
them in the PCI core and the ACPI TAD driver (Rafael Wysocki)
- Improve runtime PM in the ACPI TAD driver (Rafael Wysocki)
- Update pm_runtime_allow/forbid() documentation (Rafael Wysocki)
- Fix typos in runtime.c comments (Malaya Kumar Rout)
- Move governor.h from devfreq under include/linux/ and rename to
devfreq-governor.h to allow devfreq governor definitions in out of
drivers/devfreq/ (Dmitry Baryshkov)
- Use min() to improve readability in tegra30-devfreq.c (Thorsten
Blum)
- Fix potential use-after-free issue of OPP handling in
hisi_uncore_freq.c (Pengjie Zhang)

debugfs access modes were added in Linux 5.10 (Dec 2020) [1], but the
no-mount mode has behaved effectively the same as the off mode since
Linux 5.12 (Apr 2021) [2]. The only difference is the specific error
code returned by the debugfs_create_* functions, which is -ENOENT in
no-mount mode and -EPERM in off mode.
Given that no-mount hasn't worked for several years with no complaints,
just remove it.
