Pull perf tools updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
 "perf tools maintainership:

   - Add git information for perf-tools and perf-tools-next trees and
     branches to the MAINTAINERS file. That is where development now
     takes place and myself and Namhyung Kim have write access, more
     people to come as we emulate other maintainer groups.

  perf record:

   - Record kernel data maps when 'perf record --data' is used, so that
     global variables can be resolved and used in tools that do data
     profiling.

  perf trace:

   - Remove the old, experimental support for BPF events in which a .c
     file was passed as an event: "perf trace -e hello.c" to then get
     compiled and loaded.

     The only known usage for that, that shipped with the kernel as an
     example for such events, augmented the raw_syscalls tracepoints and
     was converted to a libbpf skeleton, reusing all the user space
     components and the BPF code connected to the syscalls.

     In the end just the way to glue the BPF part and the user space
     type beautifiers changed, now being performed by libbpf skeletons.

     The next step is to use BTF to do pretty printing of all syscall
     types, as discussed with Alan Maguire and others.

     Now, on a perf built with BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1 we get most if not all
     path/filenames/strings, some of the networking data structures,
     perf_event_attr, etc, i.e. systemwide tracing of nanosleep calls
     and perf_event_open syscalls while 'perf stat' runs 'sleep' for 5
     seconds:

  perf annotate:

   - Building with binutils' libopcode now is opt-in (BUILD_NONDISTRO=1)
     for licensing reasons, and we missed a build test on
     tools/perf/tests makefile.

     Since we now default to NDEBUG=1, we ended up segfaulting when
     building with BUILD_NONDISTRO=1 because a needed initialization
     routine was being "error checked" via an assert.

     Fix it by explicitly checking the result and aborting instead if it
     fails.

     We better back propagate the error, but at least 'perf annotate' on
     samples collected for a BPF program is back working when perf is
     built with BUILD_NONDISTRO=1.

  perf report/top:

   - Add back TUI hierarchy mode header, that is seen when using 'perf
     report/top --hierarchy'.

   - Fix the number of entries for 'e' key in the TUI that was
     preventing navigation of lines when expanding an entry.

  perf report/script:

   - Support cross platform register handling, allowing a perf.data file
     collected on one architecture to have registers sampled correctly
     displayed when analysis tools such as 'perf report' and 'perf
     script' are used on a different architecture.

   - Fix handling of event attributes in pipe mode, i.e. when one uses:

  	perf record -o - | perf report -i -

     When no perf.data files are used.

   - Handle files generated via pipe mode with a version of perf and
     then read also via pipe mode with a different version of perf,
     where the event attr record may have changed, use the record size
     field to properly support this version mismatch.

  perf probe:

   - Accessing global variables from uprobes isn't supported, make the
     error message state that instead of stating that some minimal
     kernel version is needed to have that feature. This seems just a
     tool limitation, the kernel probably has all that is needed.

  perf tests:

   - Fix a reference count related leak in the dlfilter v0 API where the
     result of a thread__find_symbol_fb() is not matched with an
     addr_location__exit() to drop the reference counts of the resolved
     components (machine, thread, map, symbol, etc). Add a dlfilter test
     to make sure that doesn't regresses.

   - Lots of fixes for the 'perf test' written in shell script related
     to problems found with the shellcheck utility.

   - Fixes for 'perf test' shell scripts testing features enabled when
     perf is built with BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1, such as 'perf stat' bpf
     counters.

   - Add perf record sample filtering test, things like the following
     example, that gets implemented as a BPF filter attached to the
     event:

       # perf record -e task-clock -c 10000 --filter 'ip &lt; 0xffffffff00000000'

   - Improve the way the task_analyzer test checks if libtraceevent is
     linked, using 'perf version --build-options' instead of the more
     expensinve 'perf record -e "sched:sched_switch"'.

   - Add support for riscv in the mmap-basic test. (This went as well
     via the RiscV tree, same contents).

  libperf:

   - Implement riscv mmap support (This went as well via the RiscV tree,
     same contents).

  perf script:

   - New tool that converts perf.data files to the firefox profiler
     format so that one can use the visualizer at
     https://profiler.firefox.com/. Done by Anup Sharma as part of this
     year's Google Summer of Code.

     One can generate the output and upload it to the web interface but
     Anup also automated everything:

       perf script gecko -F 99 -a sleep 60

   - Support syscall name parsing on arm64.

   - Print "cgroup" field on the same line as "comm".

  perf bench:

   - Add new 'uprobe' benchmark to measure the overhead of uprobes
     with/without BPF programs attached to it.

   - breakpoints are not available on power9, skip that test.

  perf stat:

   - Add #num_cpus_online literal to be used in 'perf stat' metrics, and
     add this extra 'perf test' check that exemplifies its purpose:

  	TEST_ASSERT_VAL("#num_cpus_online",
                         expr__parse(&amp;num_cpus_online, ctx, "#num_cpus_online") == 0);
  	TEST_ASSERT_VAL("#num_cpus", expr__parse(&amp;num_cpus, ctx, "#num_cpus") == 0);
  	TEST_ASSERT_VAL("#num_cpus &gt;= #num_cpus_online", num_cpus &gt;= num_cpus_online);

  Miscellaneous:

   - Improve tool startup time by lazily reading PMU, JSON, sysfs data.

   - Improve error reporting in the parsing of events, passing YYLTYPE
     to error routines, so that the output can show were the parsing
     error was found.

   - Add 'perf test' entries to check the parsing of events
     improvements.

   - Fix various leak for things detected by -fsanitize=address, mostly
     things that would be freed at tool exit, including:

       - Free evsel-&gt;filter on the destructor.

       - Allow tools to register a thread-&gt;priv destructor and use it in
         'perf trace'.

       - Free evsel-&gt;priv in 'perf trace'.

       - Free string returned by synthesize_perf_probe_point() when the
         caller fails to do all it needs.

   - Adjust various compiler options to not consider errors some
     warnings when building with broken headers found in things like
     python, flex, bison, as we otherwise build with -Werror. Some for
     gcc, some for clang, some for some specific version of those, some
     for some specific version of flex or bison, or some specific
     combination of these components, bah.

   - Allow customization of clang options for BPF target, this helps
     building on gentoo where there are other oddities where BPF targets
     gets passed some compiler options intended for the native build, so
     building with WERROR=0 helps while these oddities are fixed.

   - Dont pass ERR_PTR() values to perf_session__delete() in 'perf top'
     and 'perf lock', fixing some segfaults when handling some odd
     failures.

   - Add LTO build option.

   - Fix format of unordered lists in the perf docs
     (tools/perf/Documentation)

   - Overhaul the bison files, using constructs such as YYNOMEM.

   - Remove unused tokens from the bison .y files.

   - Add more comments to various structs.

   - A few LoongArch enablement patches.

  Vendor events (JSON):

   - Add JSON metrics for Yitian 710 DDR (aarch64). Things like:

  	EventName, BriefDescription
  	visible_window_limit_reached_rd, "At least one entry in read queue reaches the visible window limit.",
  	visible_window_limit_reached_wr, "At least one entry in write queue reaches the visible window limit.",
  	op_is_dqsosc_mpc	       , "A DQS Oscillator MPC command to DRAM.",
  	op_is_dqsosc_mrr	       , "A DQS Oscillator MRR command to DRAM.",
  	op_is_tcr_mrr		       , "A Temperature Compensated Refresh(TCR) MRR command to DRAM.",

   - Add AmpereOne metrics (aarch64).

   - Update N2 and V2 metrics (aarch64) and events using Arm telemetry
     repo.

   - Update scale units and descriptions of common topdown metrics on
     aarch64. Things like:
       - "MetricExpr": "stall_slot_frontend / (#slots * cpu_cycles)",
       - "BriefDescription": "Frontend bound L1 topdown metric",
       + "MetricExpr": "100 * (stall_slot_frontend / (#slots * cpu_cycles))",
       + "BriefDescription": "This metric is the percentage of total slots that were stalled due to resource constraints in the frontend of the processor.",

   - Update events for intel: meteorlake to 1.04, sapphirerapids to
     1.15, Icelake+ metric constraints.

   - Update files for the power10 platform"

  perf annotate:

   - Building with binutils' libopcode now is opt-in (BUILD_NONDISTRO=1)
     for licensing reasons, and we missed a build test on
     tools/perf/tests makefile.

     Since we now default to NDEBUG=1, we ended up segfaulting when
     building with BUILD_NONDISTRO=1 because a needed initialization
     routine was being "error checked" via an assert.

     Fix it by explicitly checking the result and aborting instead if it
     fails.

     We better back propagate the error, but at least 'perf annotate' on
     samples collected for a BPF program is back working when perf is
     built with BUILD_NONDISTRO=1.

  perf report/top:

   - Add back TUI hierarchy mode header, that is seen when using 'perf
     report/top --hierarchy'.

   - Fix the number of entries for 'e' key in the TUI that was
     preventing navigation of lines when expanding an entry.

  perf report/script:

   - Support cross platform register handling, allowing a perf.data file
     collected on one architecture to have registers sampled correctly
     displayed when analysis tools such as 'perf report' and 'perf
     script' are used on a different architecture.

   - Fix handling of event attributes in pipe mode, i.e. when one uses:

  	perf record -o - | perf report -i -

     When no perf.data files are used.

   - Handle files generated via pipe mode with a version of perf and
     then read also via pipe mode with a different version of perf,
     where the event attr record may have changed, use the record size
     field to properly support this version mismatch.

  perf probe:

   - Accessing global variables from uprobes isn't supported, make the
     error message state that instead of stating that some minimal
     kernel version is needed to have that feature. This seems just a
     tool limitation, the kernel probably has all that is needed.

  perf tests:

   - Fix a reference count related leak in the dlfilter v0 API where the
     result of a thread__find_symbol_fb() is not matched with an
     addr_location__exit() to drop the reference counts of the resolved
     components (machine, thread, map, symbol, etc). Add a dlfilter test
     to make sure that doesn't regresses.

   - Lots of fixes for the 'perf test' written in shell script related
     to problems found with the shellcheck utility.

   - Fixes for 'perf test' shell scripts testing features enabled when
     perf is built with BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1, such as 'perf stat' bpf
     counters.

   - Add perf record sample filtering test, things like the following
     example, that gets implemented as a BPF filter attached to the
     event:

       # perf record -e task-clock -c 10000 --filter 'ip &lt; 0xffffffff00000000'

   - Improve the way the task_analyzer test checks if libtraceevent is
     linked, using 'perf version --build-options' instead of the more
     expensinve 'perf record -e "sched:sched_switch"'.

   - Add support for riscv in the mmap-basic test. (This went as well
     via the RiscV tree, same contents).

  libperf:

   - Implement riscv mmap support (This went as well via the RiscV tree,
     same contents).

  perf script:

   - New tool that converts perf.data files to the firefox profiler
     format so that one can use the visualizer at
     https://profiler.firefox.com/. Done by Anup Sharma as part of this
     year's Google Summer of Code.

     One can generate the output and upload it to the web interface but
     Anup also automated everything:

       perf script gecko -F 99 -a sleep 60

   - Support syscall name parsing on arm64.

   - Print "cgroup" field on the same line as "comm".

  perf bench:

   - Add new 'uprobe' benchmark to measure the overhead of uprobes
     with/without BPF programs attached to it.

   - breakpoints are not available on power9, skip that test.

  perf stat:

   - Add #num_cpus_online literal to be used in 'perf stat' metrics, and
     add this extra 'perf test' check that exemplifies its purpose:

  	TEST_ASSERT_VAL("#num_cpus_online",
                         expr__parse(&amp;num_cpus_online, ctx, "#num_cpus_online") == 0);
  	TEST_ASSERT_VAL("#num_cpus", expr__parse(&amp;num_cpus, ctx, "#num_cpus") == 0);
  	TEST_ASSERT_VAL("#num_cpus &gt;= #num_cpus_online", num_cpus &gt;= num_cpus_online);

  Miscellaneous:

   - Improve tool startup time by lazily reading PMU, JSON, sysfs data.

   - Improve error reporting in the parsing of events, passing YYLTYPE
     to error routines, so that the output can show were the parsing
     error was found.

   - Add 'perf test' entries to check the parsing of events
     improvements.

   - Fix various leak for things detected by -fsanitize=address, mostly
     things that would be freed at tool exit, including:

       - Free evsel-&gt;filter on the destructor.

       - Allow tools to register a thread-&gt;priv destructor and use it in
         'perf trace'.

       - Free evsel-&gt;priv in 'perf trace'.

       - Free string returned by synthesize_perf_probe_point() when the
         caller fails to do all it needs.

   - Adjust various compiler options to not consider errors some
     warnings when building with broken headers found in things like
     python, flex, bison, as we otherwise build with -Werror. Some for
     gcc, some for clang, some for some specific version of those, some
     for some specific version of flex or bison, or some specific
     combination of these components, bah.

   - Allow customization of clang options for BPF target, this helps
     building on gentoo where there are other oddities where BPF targets
     gets passed some compiler options intended for the native build, so
     building with WERROR=0 helps while these oddities are fixed.

   - Dont pass ERR_PTR() values to perf_session__delete() in 'perf top'
     and 'perf lock', fixing some segfaults when handling some odd
     failures.

   - Add LTO build option.

   - Fix format of unordered lists in the perf docs
     (tools/perf/Documentation)

   - Overhaul the bison files, using constructs such as YYNOMEM.

   - Remove unused tokens from the bison .y files.

   - Add more comments to various structs.

   - A few LoongArch enablement patches.

  Vendor events (JSON):

   - Add JSON metrics for Yitian 710 DDR (aarch64). Things like:

  	EventName, BriefDescription
  	visible_window_limit_reached_rd, "At least one entry in read queue reaches the visible window limit.",
  	visible_window_limit_reached_wr, "At least one entry in write queue reaches the visible window limit.",
  	op_is_dqsosc_mpc	       , "A DQS Oscillator MPC command to DRAM.",
  	op_is_dqsosc_mrr	       , "A DQS Oscillator MRR command to DRAM.",
  	op_is_tcr_mrr		       , "A Temperature Compensated Refresh(TCR) MRR command to DRAM.",

   - Add AmpereOne metrics (aarch64).

   - Update N2 and V2 metrics (aarch64) and events using Arm telemetry
     repo.

   - Update scale units and descriptions of common topdown metrics on
     aarch64. Things like:
       - "MetricExpr": "stall_slot_frontend / (#slots * cpu_cycles)",
       - "BriefDescription": "Frontend bound L1 topdown metric",
       + "MetricExpr": "100 * (stall_slot_frontend / (#slots * cpu_cycles))",
       + "BriefDescription": "This metric is the percentage of total slots that were stalled due to resource constraints in the frontend of the processor.",

   - Update events for intel: meteorlake to 1.04, sapphirerapids to
     1.15, Icelake+ metric constraints.

   - Update files for the power10 platform"

Introduce a new sysctl (io_uring_disabled) which can be either 0, 1, or
2. When 0 (the default), all processes are allowed to create io_uring
instances, which is the current behavior.  When 1, io_uring creation is
disabled (io_uring_setup() will fail with -EPERM) for unprivileged
processes not in the kernel.io_uring_group group.  When 2, calls to
io_uring_setup() fail with -EPERM regardless of privilege.

Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:

 - Unbound workqueues now support more flexible affinity scopes.

   The default behavior is to soft-affine according to last level cache
   boundaries. A work item queued from a given LLC is executed by a
   worker running on the same LLC but the worker may be moved across
   cache boundaries as the scheduler sees fit. On machines which
   multiple L3 caches, which are becoming more popular along with
   chiplet designs, this improves cache locality while not harming work
   conservation too much.

   Unbound workqueues are now also a lot more flexible in terms of
   execution affinity. Differeing levels of affinity scopes are
   supported and both the default and per-workqueue affinity settings
   can be modified dynamically. This should help working around amny of
   sub-optimal behaviors observed recently with asymmetric ARM CPUs.

   This involved signficant restructuring of workqueue code. Nothing was
   reported yet but there's some risk of subtle regressions. Should keep
   an eye out.

 - Rescuer workers now has more identifiable comms.

 - workqueue.unbound_cpus added so that CPUs which can be used by
   workqueue can be constrained early during boot.

 - Now that all the in-tree users have been flushed out, trigger warning
   if system-wide workqueues are flushed.

Pull media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:

 - new i2c drivers: ds90ub913, ds90ub953, ds90ub960, dw9719, ds90ub913

 - new Intel IVSC MEI drivers

 - some Mediatek platform drivers were moved to a common location

 - Intel atomisp2 driver is now working with the main ov2680 driver. Due
   to that, the atomisp2 ov2680 staging one was removed

 - the bttv driver was finally converted to videobuf2 framework. This
   was the last one upstream using videobuf version 1 core. We'll likely
   remove the old videobuf framework on 6.7

 - lots of improvements at atomisp driver: it now works with normal I2C

Pull media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:

 - new i2c drivers: ds90ub913, ds90ub953, ds90ub960, dw9719, ds90ub913

 - new Intel IVSC MEI drivers

 - some Mediatek platform drivers were moved to a common location

 - Intel atomisp2 driver is now working with the main ov2680 driver. Due
   to that, the atomisp2 ov2680 staging one was removed

 - the bttv driver was finally converted to videobuf2 framework. This
   was the last one upstream using videobuf version 1 core. We'll likely
   remove the old videobuf framework on 6.7

 - lots of improvements at atomisp driver: it now works with normal I2C
   sensors. Several compile-mode dependecies to select between ISP2400
   and ISP2401 are now solved in runtime

 - a new ipu-bridge logic was added to work with IVSC MEI drivers

 - venus driver gained better support for new VPU versions

Pull tty/serial driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of tty and serial driver changes for 6.6-rc1.

  Lots of cleanups in here this cycle, and some driver updates. Short
  summary is:

   - Jiri's continued work to make the tty code and apis be a bit more
     sane with regards to modern kernel coding style and types

   - cpm_uart driver updates

   - n_gsm updates and fixes

   - meson driver updates

   - sc16is7xx driver updates

   - 8250 driver updates for different hardware types

   - qcom-geni driver fixes

   - tegra serial driver change

   - stm32 driver updates

   - synclink_gt driver cleanups

   - tty structure size reduction

  All of these have been in linux-next this week with no reported
  issues. The last bit of cleanups from Jiri and the tty structure size
  reduction came in last week, a bit late but as they were just style
