Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"A slightly calmer cycle for docs this time around, though there is
still a fair amount going on, including:
- Some signs of life on the long-moribund Japanese translation
- Documentation on policies around the use of generative tools for
patch submissions, and a separate document intended for consumption
by generative tools
- The completion of the move of the documentation tools to
tools/docs. For now we're leaving a /scripts/kernel-doc symlink
behind to avoid breaking scripts
- Ongoing build-system work includes the incorporation of
documentation in Python code, better support for documenting
variables, and lots of improvements and fixes

Merge tag 'kthread-for-7.0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks
Pull kthread updates from Frederic Weisbecker:
"The kthread code provides an infrastructure which manages the
preferred affinity of unbound kthreads (node or custom cpumask)
against housekeeping (CPU isolation) constraints and CPU hotplug
events.
One crucial missing piece is the handling of cpuset: when an isolated
partition is created, deleted, or its CPUs updated, all the unbound
kthreads in the top cpuset become indifferently affine to _all_ the
non-isolated CPUs, possibly breaking their preferred affinity along
the way.
Solve this with performing the kthreads affinity update from cpuset to
the kthreads consolidated relevant code instead so that preferred
affinities are honoured and applied against the updated cpuset
isolated partitions.

fixing its frequency invariance engine in the case when the CPPC
registers used by it are not in PCC. In addition to that, support for
AM62L3 is added to the ti-cpufreq driver and the cpufreq-dt-platdev
list is updated for some platforms. The remaining cpufreq changes are
assorted fixes and cleanups.
Next up is cpuidle and the changes there are dominated by intel_idle
driver updates, mostly related to the new command line facility
allowing users to adjust the list of C-states used by the driver.
There are also a few updates of cpuidle governors, including two menu
governor fixes and some refinements of the teo governor, and a
MAINTAINERS update adding Christian Loehle as a cpuidle reviewer.

Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This one is significantly larger than previous ACPI support pull
requests because several significant updates have coincided in it.
First, there is a routine ACPICA code update, to upstream version
20251212, but this time it covers new ACPI 6.6 material that has not
been covered yet. Among other things, it includes definitions of a few
new ACPI tables and updates of some others, like the GICv5 MADT
structures and ARM IORT IWB node definitions that are used for adding
GICv5 ACPI probing on ARM (that technically is IRQ subsystem material,
but it depends on the ACPICA changes, so it is included here). The
latter alone adds a few hundred lines of new code.
Second, there is an update of ACPI _OSC handling including a fix that
prevents failures from occurring in some corner cases due to careless
handling of _OSC error bits.

Merge tag 'for-7.0/block-stable-pages-20260206' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux
Pull bounce buffer dio for stable pages from Jens Axboe:
"This adds support for bounce buffering of dio for stable pages. This
was all done by Christoph. In his words:
This series tries to address the problem that under I/O pages can be
modified during direct I/O, even when the device or file system
require stable pages during I/O to calculate checksums, parity or data
operations. It does so by adding block layer helpers to bounce buffer
an iov_iter into a bio, then wires that up in iomap and ultimately
XFS.
The reason that the file system even needs to know about it, is
because reads need a user context to copy the data back, and the
infrastructure to defer ioends to a workqueue currently sits in XFS.
I'm going to look into moving that into ioend and enabling it for
other file systems. Additionally btrfs already has it's own
infrastructure for this, and actually an urgent need to bounce buffer,

Merge tag 'io_uring-bpf-restrictions.4-20260206' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux
Pull io_uring bpf filters from Jens Axboe:
"This adds support for both cBPF filters for io_uring, as well as task
inherited restrictions and filters.
seccomp and io_uring don't play along nicely, as most of the
interesting data to filter on resides somewhat out-of-band, in the
submission queue ring.
As a result, things like containers and systemd that apply seccomp
filters, can't filter io_uring operations.
That leaves them with just one choice if filtering is critical -
filter the actual io_uring_setup(2) system call to simply disallow
io_uring. That's rather unfortunate, and has limited us because of it.
io_uring already has some filtering support. It requires the ring to
be setup in a disabled state, and then a filter set can be applied.

mostly just in preparation for relaxing the locking for SINGLE_ISSUER

- Improve IOPOLL by using a doubly linked list to manage completions.
Previously it was singly listed, which meant that to complete request
N in the chain 0..N-1 had to have completed first. With a doubly
linked list we can complete whatever request completes in that order,
rather than need to wait for a consecutive range to be available.
This reduces latencies.

"In this cycle, inode page cache sharing among filesystems on the same
machine is now supported, which is particularly useful for

In addition, we fully isolate the EROFS core on-disk format from other

simple, effective, and secure. Users can use the core format to build
unique golden immutable images and import their filesystem trees
directly from raw block devices via DMA, page-mapped DAX devices,
and/or file-backed mounts without having to worry about unnecessary
intrinsic consistency issues found in other generic filesystems by
design. However, the full vision is still working in progress and will
spend more time to achieve final goals.

(unmounted via umount2(MNT_DETACH)).
For detached mounts the STATMOUNT_MNT_POINT and STATMOUNT_MNT_NS_ID
mask bits are cleared since neither is meaningful. The capability
check is skipped for STATMOUNT_BY_FD since holding an fd already
implies prior access to the mount and equivalent information is
