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

+
+Panfrost DRM client usage stats implementation
+==============================================
+
+The drm/Panfrost driver implements the DRM client usage stats specification as
+documented in :ref:`drm-client-usage-stats`.
+
+Example of the output showing the implemented key value pairs and entirety of
+the currently possible format options:
+
+::
+ pos: 0
+ flags: 02400002
+ mnt_id: 27
+ ino: 531
+ drm-driver: panfrost
+ drm-client-id: 14
+ drm-engine-fragment: 1846584880 ns
+ drm-cycles-fragment: 1424359409
+ drm-maxfreq-fragment: 799999987 Hz
+ drm-curfreq-fragment: 799999987 Hz
+ drm-engine-vertex-tiler: 71932239 ns
+ drm-cycles-vertex-tiler: 52617357
+ drm-maxfreq-vertex-tiler: 799999987 Hz
+ drm-curfreq-vertex-tiler: 799999987 Hz
+ drm-total-memory: 290 MiB
+ drm-shared-memory: 0 MiB
+ drm-active-memory: 226 MiB
+ drm-resident-memory: 36496 KiB
+ drm-purgeable-memory: 128 KiB
+
+Possible `drm-engine-` key names are: `fragment`, and `vertex-tiler`.
+`drm-curfreq-` values convey the current operating frequency for that engine.
+
+Users must bear in mind that engine and cycle sampling are disabled by default,
+because of power saving concerns. `fdinfo` users and benchmark applications which
+query the fdinfo file must make sure to toggle the job profiling status of the
+driver by writing into the appropriate sysfs node::
+
+ echo <N> > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/panfrost/[a-f0-9]*.gpu/profiling
+
+Where `N` is either `0` or `1`, depending on the desired enablement status.
