selftests/bpf: Test rhtab kptr cancellation semanticsgrafted
Resizable hash-map updates and deletions must not perform full special-field destruction in their caller context. In particular, a referenced kptr must remain attached to the allocation until the memory allocator destructor can release it safely. Add separate coverage for both affected paths. The update test stores a task kptr, replaces the ordinary value bytes with BPF_EXIST, and verifies that the kptr survived. The delete test removes an element and exchanges its kptr through the still-valid map-value pointer before the allocation is reclaimed. Both cases observe a NULL kptr when rhtab uses bpf_obj_free_fields(). They recover and release the reference after rhtab switches to cancellation semantics.

+=======================
+ dGPU firmware flashing
+=======================
+
+IFWI
+----
+Flashing the dGPU integrated firmware image (IFWI) is supported by GPUs that
+use the PSP to orchestrate the update (Navi3x or newer GPUs).
+For supported GPUs, `amdgpu` will export a series of sysfs files that can be
+used for the flash process.
+
+The IFWI flash process is:
+
+1. Ensure the IFWI image is intended for the dGPU on the system.
+2. "Write" the IFWI image to the sysfs file `psp_vbflash`. This will stage the IFWI in memory.
+3. "Read" from the `psp_vbflash` sysfs file to initiate the flash process.
+4. Poll the `psp_vbflash_status` sysfs file to determine when the flash process completes.
+
+USB-C PD F/W
+------------
+On GPUs that support flashing an updated USB-C PD firmware image, the process
+is done using the `usbc_pd_fw` sysfs file.
+
+* Reading the file will provide the current firmware version.
+* Writing the name of a firmware payload stored in `/lib/firmware/amdgpu` to the sysfs file will initiate the flash process.
+
+The firmware payload stored in `/lib/firmware/amdgpu` can be named any name
+as long as it doesn't conflict with other existing binaries that are used by
+`amdgpu`.
