Here is the big set of driver core and debugfs updates for 6.14-rc1.
It's coming late in the merge cycle as there are a number of merge
conflicts with your tree now, and I wanted to make sure they were
working properly. To resolve them, look in linux-next, and I will send
the "fixup" patch as a response to the pull request.
Included in here is a bunch of driver core, PCI, OF, and platform rust
bindings (all acked by the different subsystem maintainers), hence the
merge conflict with the rust tree, and some driver core api updates to
mark things as const, which will also require some fixups due to new
stuff coming in through other trees in this merge window.
There are also a bunch of debugfs updates from Al, and there is at least
one user that does have a regression with these, but Al is working on
tracking down the fix for it. In my use (and everyone else's linux-next
use), it does not seem like a big issue at the moment.
Here's a short list of the things in here:
- driver core bindings for PCI, platform, OF, and some i/o functions.
We are almost at the "write a real driver in rust" stage now,
depending on what you want to do.
- misc device rust bindings and a sample driver to show how to use
them
- debugfs cleanups in the fs as well as the users of the fs api for
places where drivers got it wrong or were unnecessarily doing things
in complex ways.
- driver core const work, making more of the api take const * for
different parameters to make the rust bindings easier overall.
- other small fixes and updates
All of these have been in linux-next with all of the aforementioned
merge conflicts, and the one debugfs issue, which looks to be resolved
"soon".

A kobject is meant to manage the lifecycle of some resource.
However the module sysfs code only creates a kobject to get a
"notes" subdirectory in sysfs.
This can be achieved easier and cheaper by using a sysfs group.
Switch the notes attribute code to such a group, similar to how the
section allocation in the same file already works.

The existing allocation logic manually stuffs two allocations into one.
This is hard to understand and of limited value, given that all the
section names are allocated on their own anyways.
Une one allocation per datastructure.

'struct bin_attribute' already contains the member 'private' to pass
custom data to the attribute handlers.
Use that instead of the custom 'address' member.

The member is only used to iterate over all attributes in
free_sect_attrs(). However the attribute group can already be used for
that. Use the group and drop 'nsections'.

These structs are never modified, move them to read-only memory.
This makes the API clearer and also prepares for the constification of
'struct attribute' itself.
While at it, also constify 'modinfo_attrs_count'.

Deduplicate ->read() callbacks of bin_attributes which are backed by a
simple buffer in memory:
Use the newly introduced sysfs_bin_attr_simple_read() helper instead,
either by referencing it directly or by declaring such bin_attributes
with BIN_ATTR_SIMPLE_RO() or BIN_ATTR_SIMPLE_ADMIN_RO().
Aside from a reduction of LoC, this shaves off a few bytes from vmlinux
(304 bytes on an x86_64 allyesconfig).
No functional change intended.

Prepare for the coming implementation by GCC and Clang of the __counted_by
attribute. Flexible array members annotated with __counted_by can have
their accesses bounds-checked at run-time checking via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS
(for array indexing) and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE (for strcpy/memcpy-family
functions).
As found with Coccinelle[1], add __counted_by for struct module_notes_attrs.
