Pull IPE fixes from Fan Wu:
 "Two fixes for use-after-free issues found by recent LLM-assisted code
  analysis.

   - move successful policy load auditing under the new policy
     directory's inode lock, preventing a concurrent policy deletion
     from freeing the policy while it is still being audited

   - protect the dm-verity root hash with RCU, preventing policy
     evaluation from racing with root hash replacement during preresume"

* tag 'ipe-pr-20260925' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wufan/ipe:
  ipe: protect the dm-verity root hash with RCU
  ipe: fix use-after-free when auditing a newly loaded policy

+============================================
+The Linux Hardware Timestamping Engine (HTE)
+============================================
+
+:Author: Dipen Patel
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+Certain devices have built in hardware timestamping engines which can
+monitor sets of system signals, lines, buses etc... in realtime for state
+change; upon detecting the change they can automatically store the timestamp at
+the moment of occurrence. Such functionality may help achieve better accuracy
+in obtaining timestamps than using software counterparts i.e. ktime and
+friends.
+
+This document describes the API that can be used by hardware timestamping
+engine provider and consumer drivers that want to use the hardware timestamping
+engine (HTE) framework. Both consumers and providers must include
+``#include <linux/hte.h>``.
+
+The HTE framework APIs for the providers
+----------------------------------------
+
+.. kernel-doc:: drivers/hte/hte.c
+   :functions: devm_hte_register_chip hte_push_ts_ns
+
+The HTE framework APIs for the consumers
+----------------------------------------
+
+.. kernel-doc:: drivers/hte/hte.c
+   :functions: hte_init_line_attr hte_ts_get hte_ts_put devm_hte_request_ts_ns hte_request_ts_ns hte_enable_ts hte_disable_ts of_hte_req_count hte_get_clk_src_info
+
+The HTE framework public structures
+-----------------------------------
+.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/hte.h
+
+More on the HTE timestamp data
+------------------------------
+The ``struct hte_ts_data`` is used to pass timestamp details between the
+consumers and the providers. It expresses timestamp data in nanoseconds in
+u64. An example of the typical timestamp data life cycle, for the GPIO line is
+as follows::
+
+ - Monitors GPIO line change.
+ - Detects the state change on GPIO line.
+ - Converts timestamps in nanoseconds.
+ - Stores GPIO raw level in raw_level variable if the provider has that
+ hardware capability.
+ - Pushes this hte_ts_data object to HTE subsystem.
+ - HTE subsystem increments seq counter and invokes consumer provided callback.
+ Based on callback return value, the HTE core invokes secondary callback in
+ the thread context.
+
+HTE subsystem debugfs attributes
+--------------------------------
+HTE subsystem creates debugfs attributes at ``/sys/kernel/debug/hte/``.
+It also creates line/signal-related debugfs attributes at
+``/sys/kernel/debug/hte/<provider>/<label or line id>/``. Note that these
+attributes are read-only.
+
+`ts_requested`
+		The total number of entities requested from the given provider,
+		where entity is specified by the provider and could represent
+		lines, GPIO, chip signals, buses etc...
+                The attribute will be available at
+		``/sys/kernel/debug/hte/<provider>/``.
+
+`total_ts`
+		The total number of entities supported by the provider.
+                The attribute will be available at
+		``/sys/kernel/debug/hte/<provider>/``.
+
+`dropped_timestamps`
+		The dropped timestamps for a given line.
+                The attribute will be available at
+		``/sys/kernel/debug/hte/<provider>/<label or line id>/``.

+HTE Kernel provider driver
+==========================
+
+Description
+-----------
+The Nvidia tegra HTE provider also known as GTE (Generic Timestamping Engine)
+driver implements two GTE instances: 1) GPIO GTE and 2) LIC
+(Legacy Interrupt Controller) IRQ GTE. Both GTE instances get the timestamp
+from the system counter TSC which has 31.25MHz clock rate, and the driver
+converts clock tick rate to nanoseconds before storing it as timestamp value.
+
+GPIO GTE
+--------
+
+This GTE instance timestamps GPIO in real time. For that to happen GPIO
+needs to be configured as input. Only the always on (AON) GPIO controller
+instance supports timestamping GPIOs in real time as it is tightly coupled with
+the GPIO GTE. To support this, GPIOLIB adds two optional APIs as mentioned
+below. The GPIO GTE code supports both kernel and userspace consumers. The
+kernel space consumers can directly talk to HTE subsystem while userspace
+consumers timestamp requests go through GPIOLIB CDEV framework to HTE
+subsystem. The hte devicetree binding described at
+``Documentation/devicetree/bindings/timestamp`` provides an example of how a
+consumer can request an GPIO line.
+
+See gpiod_enable_hw_timestamp_ns() and gpiod_disable_hw_timestamp_ns().
+
+For userspace consumers, GPIO_V2_LINE_FLAG_EVENT_CLOCK_HTE flag must be
+specified during IOCTL calls. Refer to ``tools/gpio/gpio-event-mon.c``, which
+returns the timestamp in nanoseconds.
+
+LIC (Legacy Interrupt Controller) IRQ GTE
+-----------------------------------------
+
+This GTE instance timestamps LIC IRQ lines in real time. The hte devicetree
+binding described at ``Documentation/devicetree/bindings/timestamp``
+provides an example of how a consumer can request an IRQ line. Since it is a
+one-to-one mapping with IRQ GTE provider, consumers can simply specify the IRQ
+number that they are interested in. There is no userspace consumer support for
+this GTE instance in the HTE framework.
+
+The provider source code of both IRQ and GPIO GTE instances is located at
+``drivers/hte/hte-tegra194.c``. The test driver
+``drivers/hte/hte-tegra194-test.c`` demonstrates HTE API usage for both IRQ
+and GPIO GTE.
