Merge tag 'driver-core-7.3-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/driver-core/driver-coregrafted

Pull driver core fixes from Danilo Krummrich:

 - Fix kernfs listxattr() not returning security xattr names (e.g.
   SELinux labels) when the kernfs node has no allocated kernfs_iattrs

 - Fix silent truncation of IRQ vector indices in the Rust PCI
   abstractions

 - Don't select OF from DRIVER_PE_KUNIT_TEST; skip the test when OF is
   disabled instead of silently enabling extra kernel functionality

 - Russ Weight is retiring from kernel development; update the Firmware
   Loader sysfs contact to the driver-core mailing list, add a CREDITS
   entry for Firmware Upload, and update MAINTAINERS accordingly

* tag 'driver-core-7.3-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/driver-core/driver-core:
  MAINTAINERS: Remove Russ Weight from Firmware Loader
  CREDITS: Add CREDITS entry for Firmware Upload
  firmware_loader: Change contact for sysfs nodes
  rust: pci: reject IRQ vector indices that do not fit in u32
  kernfs: preserve security xattrs without allocating iattrs
  drivers: base: test: DRIVER_PE_KUNIT_TEST should not select OF

+Mono(tm) Binary Kernel Support for Linux
+-----------------------------------------
+
+To configure Linux to automatically execute Mono-based .NET binaries
+(in the form of .exe files) without the need to use the mono CLR
+wrapper, you can use the BINFMT_MISC kernel support.
+
+This will allow you to execute Mono-based .NET binaries just like any
+other program after you have done the following:
+
+1) You MUST FIRST install the Mono CLR support, either by downloading
+   a binary package, a source tarball or by installing from Git. Binary
+   packages for several distributions can be found at:
+
+	https://www.mono-project.com/download/
+
+   Instructions for compiling Mono can be found at:
+
+	https://www.mono-project.com/docs/compiling-mono/linux/
+
+   Once the Mono CLR support has been installed, just check that
+   ``/usr/bin/mono`` (which could be located elsewhere, for example
+   ``/usr/local/bin/mono``) is working.
+
+2) You have to compile BINFMT_MISC either as a module or into
+   the kernel (``CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC``) and set it up properly.
+   If you choose to compile it as a module, you will have
+   to insert it manually with modprobe/insmod, as kmod
+   cannot be easily supported with binfmt_misc.
+   Read the file ``binfmt_misc.txt`` in this directory to know
+   more about the configuration process.
+
+3) Add the following entries to ``/etc/rc.local`` or similar script
+   to be run at system startup:
+
+   .. code-block:: sh
+
+    # Insert BINFMT_MISC module into the kernel
+    if [ ! -e /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register ]; then
+        /sbin/modprobe binfmt_misc
+	# Some distributions, like Fedora Core, perform
+	# the following command automatically when the
+	# binfmt_misc module is loaded into the kernel
+	# or during normal boot up (systemd-based systems).
+	# Thus, it is possible that the following line
+	# is not needed at all.
+	mount -t binfmt_misc none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc
+    fi
+
+    # Register support for .NET CLR binaries
+    if [ -e /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register ]; then
+	# Replace /usr/bin/mono with the correct pathname to
+	# the Mono CLR runtime (usually /usr/local/bin/mono
+	# when compiling from sources or CVS).
+        echo ':CLR:M::MZ::/usr/bin/mono:' > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register
+    else
+        echo "No binfmt_misc support"
+        exit 1
+    fi
+
+4) Check that ``.exe`` binaries can be ran without the need of a
+   wrapper script, simply by launching the ``.exe`` file directly
+   from a command prompt, for example::
+
+	/usr/bin/xsd.exe
+
+   .. note::
+
+      If this fails with a permission denied error, check
+      that the ``.exe`` file has execute permissions.
