Pull sysctl updates from Joel Granados:
 "sysctl ctl_table constification:

   - Constifying ctl_table structs prevents the modification of

     const qualified in the sysctl API in such a way that the ctl_table
     arrays being defined elsewhere and passed through sysctl can be
     constified one-by-one.

     We kick the constification off by qualifying user_table in
     kernel/ucount.c and expect all the ctl_tables to be constified in
     the coming releases.

   - Adjust comments in two places to better reflect the code

If iov_iter_zero succeeds after failed copy_from_kernel_nofault,
we need to reset the ret value to zero otherwise it will be returned
as final return value of read_kcore_iter.

This fixes objdump -d dump over /proc/kcore for me.

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A rather large update for timekeeping and timers:

   - The final step to get rid of auto-rearming posix-timers

     posix-timers are currently auto-rearmed by the kernel when the
     signal of the timer is ignored so that the timer signal can be
     delivered once the corresponding signal is unignored.

     This requires to throttle the timer to prevent a DoS by small
     intervals and keeps the system pointlessly out of low power states
     for no value. This is a long standing non-trivial problem due to
     the lock order of posix-timer lock and the sighand lock along with
     life time issues as the timer and the sigqueue have different life
     time rules.

     Cure this by:

       - Embedding the sigqueue into the timer struct to have the same
         life time rules. Aside of that this also avoids the lookup of
         the timer in the signal delivery and rearm path as it's just a
         always valid container_of() now.

       - Queuing ignored timer signals onto a seperate ignored list.

       - Moving queued timer signals onto the ignored list when the
         signal is switched to SIG_IGN before it could be delivered.

       - Walking the ignored list when SIG_IGN is lifted and requeue the
         signals to the actual signal lists. This allows the signal
         delivery code to rearm the timer.

     This also required to consolidate the signal delivery rules so they
     are consistent across all situations. With that all self test
     scenarios finally succeed.

   - Core infrastructure for VFS multigrain timestamping

     This is required to allow the kernel to use coarse grained time
     stamps by default and switch to fine grained time stamps when inode
     attributes are actively observed via getattr().

     These changes have been provided to the VFS tree as well, so that
     the VFS specific infrastructure could be built on top.

   - Cleanup and consolidation of the sleep() infrastructure

       - Move all sleep and timeout functions into one file

       - Rework udelay() and ndelay() into proper documented inline
         functions and replace the hardcoded magic numbers by proper
         defines.

       - Rework the fsleep() implementation to take the reality of the
         timer wheel granularity on different HZ values into account.
         Right now the boundaries are hard coded time ranges which fail
         to provide the requested accuracy on different HZ settings.

       - Update documentation for all sleep/timeout related functions
         and fix up stale documentation links all over the place

       - Fixup a few usage sites

   - Rework of timekeeping and adjtimex(2) to prepare for multiple PTP
     clocks

     A system can have multiple PTP clocks which are participating in
     seperate and independent PTP clock domains. So far the kernel only
     considers the PTP clock which is based on CLOCK TAI relevant as
     that's the clock which drives the timekeeping adjustments via the
     various user space daemons through adjtimex(2).

     The non TAI based clock domains are accessible via the file
     descriptor based posix clocks, but their usability is very limited.
     They can't be accessed fast as they always go all the way out to
     the hardware and they cannot be utilized in the kernel itself.

     As Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) gains traction it is required to
     provide fast user and kernel space access to these clocks.

     The approach taken is to utilize the timekeeping and adjtimex(2)
     infrastructure to provide this access in a similar way how the
     kernel provides access to clock MONOTONIC, REALTIME etc.

     Instead of creating a duplicated infrastructure this rework
     converts timekeeping and adjtimex(2) into generic functionality
     which operates on pointers to data structures instead of using
     static variables.

     This allows to provide time accessors and adjtimex(2) functionality
     for the independent PTP clocks in a subsequent step.

   - Consolidate hrtimer initialization

     hrtimers are set up by initializing the data structure and then
     seperately setting the callback function for historical reasons.

     That's an extra unnecessary step and makes Rust support less
     straight forward than it should be.

     Provide a new set of hrtimer_setup*() functions and convert the
     core code and a few usage sites of the less frequently used
     interfaces over.

     The bulk of the htimer_init() to hrtimer_setup() conversion is
     already prepared and scheduled for the next merge window.

   - Drivers:

       - Ensure that the global timekeeping clocksource is utilizing the
         cluster 0 timer on MIPS multi-cluster systems.

         Otherwise CPUs on different clusters use their cluster specific
         clocksource which is not guaranteed to be synchronized with
         other clusters.

       - Mostly boring cleanups, fixes, improvements and code movement"

Pull interrupt subsystem updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Tree wide:

   - Make nr_irqs static to the core code and provide accessor functions
     to remove existing and prevent future aliasing problems with local
     variables or function arguments of the same name.

  Core code:

   - Prevent freeing an interrupt in the devres code which is not
     managed by devres in the first place.

   - Use seq_put_decimal_ull_width() for decimal values output in
     /proc/interrupts which increases performance significantly as it
     avoids parsing the format strings over and over.

   - Optimize raising the timer and hrtimer soft interrupts by using the
     'set bit only' variants instead of the combined version which
     checks whether ksoftirqd should be woken up. The latter is a
     pointless exercise as both soft interrupts are raised in the
     context of the timer interrupt and therefore never wake up
     ksoftirqd.

   - Delegate timer/hrtimer soft interrupt processing to a dedicated
     thread on RT.

     Timer and hrtimer soft interrupts are always processed in ksoftirqd
     on RT enabled kernels. This can lead to high latencies when other
     soft interrupts are delegated to ksoftirqd as well.

     The separate thread allows to run them seperately under a RT
     scheduling policy to reduce the latency overhead.

  Drivers:

   - New drivers or extensions of existing drivers to support Renesas
     RZ/V2H(P), Aspeed AST27XX, T-HEAD C900 and ATMEL sam9x7 interrupt
     chips

   - Support for multi-cluster GICs on MIPS.

     MIPS CPUs can come with multiple CPU clusters, where each CPU
     cluster has its own GIC (Generic Interrupt Controller). This
     requires to access the GIC of a remote cluster through a redirect
     register block.

     This is encapsulated into a set of helper functions to keep the
     complexity out of the actual code paths which handle the GIC
     details.

   - Support for encrypted guests in the ARM GICV3 ITS driver

     The ITS page needs to be shared with the hypervisor and therefore
     must be decrypted.

   - Small cleanups and fixes all over the place"

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:

 - Support for running Linux in a protected VM under the Arm
   Confidential Compute Architecture (CCA)

 - Guarded Control Stack user-space support. Current patches follow the
   x86 ABI of implicitly creating a shadow stack on clone(). Subsequent
   patches (already on the list) will add support for clone3() allowing
   finer-grained control of the shadow stack size and placement from
   libc

 - AT_HWCAP3 support (not running out of HWCAP2 bits yet but we are
   getting close with the upcoming dpISA support)

 - Other arch features:

     - In-kernel use of the memcpy instructions, FEAT_MOPS (previously
       only exposed to user; uaccess support not merged yet)

     - MTE: hugetlbfs support and the corresponding kselftests

     - Optimise CRC32 using the PMULL instructions

     - Support for FEAT_HAFT enabling ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG

     - Optimise the kernel TLB flushing to use the range operations

     - POE/pkey (permission overlays): further cleanups after bringing
       the signal handler in line with the x86 behaviour for 6.12

 - arm64 perf updates:

     - Support for the NXP i.MX91 PMU in the existing IMX driver

     - Support for Ampere SoCs in the Designware PCIe PMU driver

     - Support for Marvell's 'PEM' PCIe PMU present in the 'Odyssey' SoC

     - Support for Samsung's 'Mongoose' CPU PMU

     - Support for PMUv3.9 finer-grained userspace counter access
       control

     - Switch back to platform_driver::remove() now that it returns
       'void'

     - Add some missing events for the CXL PMU driver

 - Miscellaneous arm64 fixes/cleanups:

     - Page table accessors cleanup: type updates, drop unused macros,
       reorganise arch_make_huge_pte() and clean up pte_mkcont(), sanity
       check addresses before runtime P4D/PUD folding

     - Command line override for ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1.ECV (advertising the
       FEAT_ECV for the generic timers) allowing Linux to boot with
       firmware deployments that don't set SCTLR_EL3.ECVEn

     - ACPI/arm64: tighten the check for the array of platform timer
       structures and adjust the error handling procedure in
       gtdt_parse_timer_block()

     - Optimise the cache flush for the uprobes xol slot (skip if no
       change) and other uprobes/kprobes cleanups

     - Fix the context switching of tpidrro_el0 when kpti is enabled

     - Dynamic shadow call stack fixes

     - Sysreg updates

     - Various arm64 kselftest improvements
