Remove argument `params` from the `module` macro example, because the
macro does not currently support module parameters since it was not sent
with the initial merge.

<title>kbuild: rust: remove unneeded `@rustc_cfg` to avoid ICE</title>

When KUnit tests are enabled, under very big kernel configurations
(e.g. `allyesconfig`), we can trigger a `rustdoc` ICE [1]:

      RUSTDOC TK rust/kernel/lib.rs
    error: the compiler unexpectedly panicked. this is a bug.

The reason is that this build step has a duplicated `@rustc_cfg` argument,
which contains the kernel configuration, and thus a lot of arguments. The
factor 2 happens to be enough to reach the ICE.

Thus remove the unneeded `@rustc_cfg`. By doing so, we clean up the
command and workaround the ICE.

The ICE has been fixed in the upcoming Rust 1.79 [2].

The thread that calls the module initialisation code when a module is
loaded is not guaranteed [in fact, it is unlikely] to be the same one
that calls the module cleanup code on module unload, therefore, `Module`
implementations must be `Send` to account for them moving from one
thread to another implicitly.

<title>rust: macros: fix soundness issue in `module!` macro</title>

The `module!` macro creates glue code that are called by C to initialize
the Rust modules using the `Module::init` function. Part of this glue
code are the local functions `__init` and `__exit` that are used to
initialize/destroy the Rust module.

These functions are safe and also visible to the Rust mod in which the
`module!` macro is invoked. This means that they can be called by other
safe Rust code. But since they contain `unsafe` blocks that rely on only
being called at the right time, this is a soundness issue.

Wrap these generated functions inside of two private modules, this
guarantees that the public functions cannot be called from the outside.
Make the safe functions `unsafe` and add SAFETY comments.

<title>rust: init: remove impl Zeroable for Infallible</title>

In Rust, producing an invalid value of any type is immediate undefined
behavior (UB); this includes via zeroing memory.  Therefore, since an
uninhabited type has no valid values, producing any values at all for it is
UB.

The Rust standard library type `core::convert::Infallible` is uninhabited,
by virtue of having been declared as an enum with no cases, which always
produces uninhabited types in Rust.

The current kernel code allows this UB to be triggered, for example by code
like `Box::&lt;core::convert::Infallible&gt;::init(kernel::init::zeroed())`.

Thus, remove the implementation of `Zeroable` for `Infallible`, thereby
avoiding the unsoundness (potential for future UB).

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "The major features are support for LPA2 (52-bit VA/PA with 4K and 16K
  pages), the dpISA extension and Rust enabled on arm64. The changes are
  mostly contained within the usual arch/arm64/, drivers/perf, the arm64
  Documentation and kselftests. The exception is the Rust support which
  touches some generic build files.

  Summary:

   - Reorganise the arm64 kernel VA space and add support for LPA2 (at
     stage 1, KVM stage 2 was merged earlier) - 52-bit VA/PA address
     range with 4KB and 16KB pages

   - Enable Rust on arm64

   - Support for the 2023 dpISA extensions (data processing ISA), host
     only

   - arm64 perf updates:

      - StarFive's StarLink (integrates one or more CPU cores with a
        shared L3 memory system) PMU support

      - Enable HiSilicon Erratum 162700402 quirk for HIP09

      - Several updates for the HiSilicon PCIe PMU driver

      - Arm CoreSight PMU support

      - Convert all drivers under drivers/perf/ to use .remove_new()

   - Miscellaneous:

      - Don't enable workarounds for "rare" errata by default

      - Clean up the DAIF flags handling for EL0 returns (in preparation
        for NMI support)

      - Kselftest update for ptrace()

      - Update some of the sysreg field definitions

      - Slight improvement in the code generation for inline asm I/O
        accessors to permit offset addressing

      - kretprobes: acquire regs via a BRK exception (previously done
        via a trampoline handler)

      - SVE/SME cleanups, comment updates

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "The major features are support for LPA2 (52-bit VA/PA with 4K and 16K
  pages), the dpISA extension and Rust enabled on arm64. The changes are
  mostly contained within the usual arch/arm64/, drivers/perf, the arm64
  Documentation and kselftests. The exception is the Rust support which
  touches some generic build files.

  Summary:

   - Reorganise the arm64 kernel VA space and add support for LPA2 (at
     stage 1, KVM stage 2 was merged earlier) - 52-bit VA/PA address
     range with 4KB and 16KB pages

   - Enable Rust on arm64

   - Support for the 2023 dpISA extensions (data processing ISA), host
     only

   - arm64 perf updates:

      - StarFive's StarLink (integrates one or more CPU cores with a
        shared L3 memory system) PMU support

      - Enable HiSilicon Erratum 162700402 quirk for HIP09

      - Several updates for the HiSilicon PCIe PMU driver

      - Arm CoreSight PMU support

      - Convert all drivers under drivers/perf/ to use .remove_new()

   - Miscellaneous:

      - Don't enable workarounds for "rare" errata by default

      - Clean up the DAIF flags handling for EL0 returns (in preparation
        for NMI support)

      - Kselftest update for ptrace()

      - Update some of the sysreg field definitions

      - Slight improvement in the code generation for inline asm I/O
        accessors to permit offset addressing

      - kretprobes: acquire regs via a BRK exception (previously done
        via a trampoline handler)

      - SVE/SME cleanups, comment updates

      - Allow CALL_OPS+CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE with clang (previously
        disabled due to gcc silently ignoring -falign-functions=N)"

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - Large effort by Eric to lower rtnl_lock pressure and remove locks:

      - Make commonly used parts of rtnetlink (address, route dumps
        etc) lockless, protected by RCU instead of rtnl_lock.

      - Add a netns exit callback which already holds rtnl_lock,
        allowing netns exit to take rtnl_lock once in the core instead
        of once for each driver / callback.

      - Remove locks / serialization in the socket diag interface.

      - Remove 6 calls to synchronize_rcu() while holding rtnl_lock.

      - Remove the dev_base_lock, depend on RCU where necessary.

   - Support busy polling on a per-epoll context basis. 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
     &amp; 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".

   - Ethernet high-speed NICs:

Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:
 "This cycle, a lot of workqueue changes including some that are
  significant and invasive.

   - During v6.6 cycle, unbound workqueues were updated so that they are
     more topology aware and flexible, which among other things improved
     workqueue behavior on modern multi-L3 CPUs. In the process, commit
     636b927eba5b ("workqueue: Make unbound workqueues to use per-cpu
     pool_workqueues") switched unbound workqueues to use per-CPU
     frontend pool_workqueues as a part of increasing front-back mapping
     flexibility.

     An unwelcome side effect of this change was that this made max
     concurrency enforcement per-CPU blowing up the maximum number of
     allowed concurrent executions. I incorrectly assumed that this
     wouldn't cause practical problems as most unbound workqueue users
     are self-regulate max concurrency; however, there definitely are
     which don't (e.g. on IO paths) and the drastic increase in the
     allowed max concurrency led to noticeable perf regressions in some
     use cases.

     This is now addressed by separating out max concurrency enforcement
     to a separate struct - wq_node_nr_active - which makes @max_active
     consistently mean system-wide max concurrency regardless of the
     number of CPUs or (finally) NUMA nodes. This is a rather invasive
     and, in places, a bit clunky; however, the clunkiness rises from
     the the inherent requirement to handle the disagreement between the
     execution locality domain and max concurrency enforcement domain on
     some modern machines.

     See commit 5797b1c18919 ("workqueue: Implement system-wide
     nr_active enforcement for unbound workqueues") for more details.

   - BH workqueue support is added.

     They are similar to per-CPU workqueues but execute work items in
     the softirq context. This is expected to replace tasklet. However,
     currently, it's missing the ability to disable and enable work
     items which is needed to convert many tasklet users. To avoid
     crowding this merge window too much, this will be included in the
     next merge window. A separate pull request will be sent for the
     couple conversion patches that are currently pending.

   - Waiman plugged a long-standing hole in workqueue CPU isolation
     where ordered workqueues didn't follow wq_unbound_cpumask updates.
     Ordered workqueues now follow the same rules as other unbound
     workqueues.

   - More CPU isolation improvements: Juri fixed another deficit in
     workqueue isolation where unbound rescuers don't respect
     wq_unbound_cpumask. Leonardo fixed delayed_work timers firing on
     isolated CPUs.

   - Other misc changes"
