Pull networking fixes from Paolo Abeni:
 "Including fixes from CAN, netfilter and wireless.

  We have an IPv6 routing regression with the relevant fix still a WiP.
  This includes a last-minute revert to avoid more problems.

  Current release - new code bugs:

   - wifi: nl80211: completely disable per-link stats for now

  Previous releases - regressions:

   - dev_ioctl: take ops lock in hwtstamp lower paths

   - netfilter:
       - fix spurious set lookup failures
       - fix lockdep splat due to missing annotation

   - genetlink: fix genl_bind() invoking bind() after -EPERM

   - phy: transfer phy_config_inband() locking responsibility to phylink

Pull power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These fix a nasty hibernation regression introduced during the 6.16
  cycle, an issue related to energy model management occurring on Intel
  hybrid systems where some CPUs are offline to start with, and two
  regressions in the amd-pstate driver:

   - Restore a pm_restrict_gfp_mask() call in hibernation_snapshot()
     that was removed incorrectly during the 6.16 development cycle
     (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Introduce a function for registering a perf domain without
     triggering a system-wide CPU capacity update and make the
     intel_pstate driver use it to avoid reocurring unsuccessful
     attempts to update capacities of all CPUs in the system (Rafael
     Wysocki)

   - Fix setting of CPPC.min_perf in the active mode with performance
     governor in the amd-pstate driver to restore its expected behavior
     changed recently (Gautham Shenoy)

   - Avoid mistakenly setting EPP to 0 in the amd-pstate driver after

Pull vmescape mitigation fixes from Dave Hansen:
 "Mitigate vmscape issue with indirect branch predictor flushes.

  vmscape is a vulnerability that essentially takes Spectre-v2 and
  attacks host userspace from a guest. It particularly affects
  hypervisors like QEMU.

  Even if a hypervisor may not have any sensitive data like disk
  encryption keys, guest-userspace may be able to attack the
  guest-kernel using the hypervisor as a confused deputy.

  There are many ways to mitigate vmscape using the existing Spectre-v2
  defenses like IBRS variants or the IBPB flushes. This series focuses
  solely on IBPB because it works universally across vendors and all
  vulnerable processors. Further work doing vendor and model-specific
  optimizations can build on top of this if needed / wanted.

  Do the normal issue mitigation dance:

   - Add the CPU bug boilerplate

   - Add a list of vulnerable CPUs

   - Use IBPB to flush the branch predictors after running guests"

netfilter pull request nf-25-09-10

First patch adds a lockdep annotation for a false-positive splat.
Last patch adds formal reviewer tag for Phil Sutter to MAINTAINERS.

Rest of the patches resolve spurious false negative results during set
lookups while another CPU is processing a transaction.

This has been broken at least since v4.18 when an unconditional
synchronize_rcu call was removed from the commit phase of nf_tables.

Quoting from Stefan Hanreichs original report:

 It seems like we've found an issue with atomicity when reloading
 nftables rulesets. Sometimes there is a small window where rules
 containing sets do not seem to apply to incoming traffic, due to the set
 apparently being empty for a short amount of time when flushing / adding
 elements.

Exanple ruleset:
table ip filter {
  set match {
    type ipv4_addr
    flags interval
    elements = { 0.0.0.0-192.168.2.19, 192.168.2.21-255.255.255.255 }
  }

  chain pre {
    type filter hook prerouting priority filter; policy accept;
    ip saddr @match accept
    counter comment "must never match"
  }
}

Reproducer transaction:
while true:
nft -f -&lt;&lt;EOF
 flush set ip filter match
 create element ip filter match { \
    0.0.0.0-192.168.2.19, 192.168.2.21-255.255.255.255 }
EOF
done

Then create traffic. to/from e.g. 192.168.2.1 to 192.168.3.10.
Once in a while the counter will increment even though the
'ip saddr @match' rule should have accepted the packet.

See individual patches for details.

Thanks to Stefan Hanreich for an initial description and reproducer for
this bug and to Pablo Neira Ayuso for reviewing earlier iterations of
the patchset.

In C, enumerated types do not have a defined size, apart from being
compatible with one of the standard types. This allows an ABI /
compiler to choose the type of an enum depending on the values it
needs to store, and storing larger values in it can lead to undefined
behaviour.

The tx_type and rx_filters members of struct kernel_ethtool_ts_info
are defined as enumerated types, but are bit arrays, where each bit
is defined by the enumerated type. This means they typically store
values in excess of the maximum value of the enumerated type, in
fact (1 &lt;&lt; max_value) and thus must not be declared using the
enumated type.

Fix both of these to use u32, as per the corresponding __u32 UAPI type.

<title>netfilter: nf_tables: make nft_set_do_lookup available unconditionally</title>

This function was added for retpoline mitigation and is replaced by a
static inline helper if mitigations are not enabled.

Enable this helper function unconditionally so next patch can add a lookup
restart mechanism to fix possible false negatives while transactions are
in progress.

Adding lookup restarts in nft_lookup_eval doesn't work as nft_objref would
then need the same copypaste loop.

This patch is separate to ease review of the actual bug fix.

This will soon be read from packet path around same time as the gencursor.

Both gencursor and base_seq get incremented almost at the same time, so
it makes sense to place them in the same structure.

This doesn't increase struct net size on 64bit due to padding.

<title>PM: EM: Add function for registering a PD without capacity update</title>

<id>e0423541477dfb684fbc6e6b5386054bc650f264</id>
<content type='text'>
The intel_pstate driver manages CPU capacity changes itself and it does
not need an update of the capacity of all CPUs in the system to be
carried out after registering a PD.

Moreover, in some configurations (for instance, an SMT-capable
hybrid x86 system booted with nosmt in the kernel command line) the
em_check_capacity_update() call at the end of em_dev_register_perf_domain()
always fails and reschedules itself to run once again in 1 s, so
effectively it runs in vain every 1 s forever.

To address this, introduce a new variant of em_dev_register_perf_domain(),
called em_dev_register_pd_no_update(), that does not invoke
em_check_capacity_update(), and make intel_pstate use it instead of the
original.

<title>compiler-clang.h: define __SANITIZE_*__ macros only when undefined</title>

<id>3fac212fe489aa0dbe8d80a42a7809840ca7b0f9</id>
<content type='text'>
Clang 22 recently added support for defining __SANITIZE__ macros similar
to GCC [1], which causes warnings (or errors with CONFIG_WERROR=y or W=e)
with the existing defines that the kernel creates to emulate this behavior
with existing clang versions.

  In file included from &lt;built-in&gt;:3:
  In file included from include/linux/compiler_types.h:171:
  include/linux/compiler-clang.h:37:9: error: '__SANITIZE_THREAD__' macro redefined [-Werror,-Wmacro-redefined]
     37 | #define __SANITIZE_THREAD__
        |         ^
  &lt;built-in&gt;:352:9: note: previous definition is here
    352 | #define __SANITIZE_THREAD__ 1
        |         ^

Refactor compiler-clang.h to only define the sanitizer macros when they
are undefined and adjust the rest of the code to use these macros for
checking if the sanitizers are enabled, clearing up the warnings and
allowing the kernel to easily drop these defines when the minimum
supported version of LLVM for building the kernel becomes 22.0.0 or newer.
