Merge tag 'timers-v6.11-rc1' of https://git.linaro.org/people/daniel.lezcano/linux into timers/core

Pull clocksource/event driver updates from Daniel Lezcano:

- Remove unnecessary local variables initialization as they will be
initialized in the code path anyway right after on the ARM arch
timer and the ARM global timer (Li kunyu)

- Fix a race condition in the interrupt leading to a deadlock on the
SH CMT driver. Note that this fix was not tested on the platform
using this timer but the fix seems reasonable enough to be picked
confidently (Niklas Söderlund)

- Increase the rating of the gic-timer and use the configured width
clocksource register on the MIPS architecture (Jiaxun Yang)

- Add the DT bindings for the TMU on the Renesas platforms (Geert
Uytterhoeven)

- Add the DT bindings for the SOPHGO SG2002 clint on RiscV (Thomas
Bonnefille)

- Add the rtl-otto timer driver along with the DT bindings for the
Realtek platform (Chris Packham)

regmap: Implement regmap_multi_reg_read()

Merge series from Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>:

regmap_multi_reg_read() is similar to regmap_bilk_read() but reads from
an array of non-sequential registers. It is helpful if multiple non-
sequential registers need to be read in a single operation which would
otherwise have to be mutex protected.

The name of the new function was chosen to match the existing function
regmap_multi_reg_write().

mm/memfd: add documentation for MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL MFD_EXEC

When MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL was introduced, there was one big mistake: it didn't
have proper documentation. This led to a lot of confusion, especially
about whether or not memfd created with the MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL flag is
sealable. Before MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL, memfd had to explicitly set
MFD_ALLOW_SEALING to be sealable, so it's a fair question.

As one might have noticed, unlike other flags in memfd_create,
MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL is actually a combination of multiple flags. The idea is
to make it easier to use memfd in the most common way, which is NOEXEC +
F_SEAL_EXEC + MFD_ALLOW_SEALING. This works with sysctl vm.noexec to help
existing applications move to a more secure way of using memfd.

Proposals have been made to put MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL non-sealable, unless
MFD_ALLOW_SEALING is set, to be consistent with other flags [1], Those
are based on the viewpoint that each flag is an atomic unit, which is a
reasonable assumption. However, MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL was designed with the
intent of promoting the most secure method of using memfd, therefore a
combination of multiple functionalities into one bit.

Furthermore, the MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL has been added for more than one year,
and multiple applications and distributions have backported and utilized
it. Altering ABI now presents a degree of risk and may lead to
disruption.

MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL is a new flag, and applications must change their code to
use it. There is no backward compatibility problem.

When sysctl vm.noexec == 1 or 2, applications that don't set
MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL or MFD_EXEC will get MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL memfd. And
old-application might break, that is by-design, in such a system vm.noexec
= 0 shall be used. Also no backward compatibility problem.

I propose to include this documentation patch to assist in clarifying the
semantics of MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL, thereby preventing any potential future
confusion.

Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to David Rheinsberg and
Barnabás Pőcze for initiating the discussion on the topic of sealability.
