Merge tag 'rust-i2c-for-7.3' into i2c/i2cgrafted
i2c: rust: mark I2cAdapter methods as inline A single cleanup for the Rust I2C abstractions, targeting 7.3. `I2cAdapter::get`, `inc_ref`, and `dec_ref` are trivial wrappers around `i2c_get_adapter`/`i2c_put_adapter` and were showing up as their own symbols in the build. Mark them `#[inline]` so they get folded into their callers instead. Signed-off-by: Igor Korotin <igor.korotin@linux.dev> * tag 'rust-i2c-for-7.3': i2c: rust: mark I2cAdapter methods as inline

+=================
+/proc/sys/crypto/
+=================
+
+These files show up in ``/proc/sys/crypto/``, depending on the
+kernel configuration:
+
+.. contents:: :local:
+
+fips_enabled
+============
+
+Read-only flag that indicates whether FIPS mode is enabled.
+
+- ``0``: FIPS mode is disabled (default).
+- ``1``: FIPS mode is enabled.
+
+This value is set at boot time via the ``fips=1`` kernel command line
+parameter. When enabled, the cryptographic API will restrict the use
+of certain algorithms and perform self-tests to ensure compliance with
+FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) requirements, such as
+FIPS 140-2 and the newer FIPS 140-3, depending on the kernel
+configuration and the module in use.
+
+fips_name
+=========
+
+Read-only file that contains the name of the FIPS module currently in use.
+The value is typically configured via the ``CONFIG_CRYPTO_FIPS_NAME``
+kernel configuration option.
+
+fips_version
+============
+
+Read-only file that contains the version string of the FIPS module.
+If ``CONFIG_CRYPTO_FIPS_CUSTOM_VERSION`` is set, it uses the value from
+``CONFIG_CRYPTO_FIPS_VERSION``. Otherwise, it defaults to the kernel
+release version (``UTS_RELEASE``).
