Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

Make sure that finish_mount_kattr() is called after mount_kattr was
succesfully built in both the success and failure case to prevent
leaking any references we took when we built it. We returned early if
path lookup failed thereby risking to leak an additional reference we
took when building mount_kattr when an idmapped mount was requested.

"Including fixes from.. Santa?
No regressions on our radar at this point. The igc problem fixed here
was the last one I was tracking but it was broken in previous
releases, anyway. Mostly driver fixes and a couple of largish SMC
fixes.
Current release - regressions:
- xsk: initialise xskb free_list_node, fixup for a -rc7 fix
Current release - new code bugs:
- mlx5: handful of minor fixes:
- use first online CPU instead of hard coded CPU
- fix some error handling paths in 'mlx5e_tc_add_fdb_flow()'
- fix skb memory leak when TC classifier action offloads are disabled
- fix memory leak with rules with internal OvS port
Previous releases - regressions:
- igc: do not enable crosstimestamping for i225-V models
Previous releases - always broken:
- udp: use datalen to cap ipv6 udp max gso segments
- fix use-after-free in tw_timer_handler due to early free of stats
- smc: fix kernel panic caused by race of smc_sock
- smc: don't send CDC/LLC message if link not ready, avoid timeouts
- sctp: use call_rcu to free endpoint, avoid UAF in sock diag
- bridge: mcast: add and enforce query interval minimum
- usb: pegasus: do not drop long Ethernet frames
- mlx5e: fix ICOSQ recovery flow for XSK
- nfc: uapi: use kernel size_t to fix user-space builds"

The driver must make sure there is an actual connection
before checking details about the USB Power Delivery
contract. Those details are not valid unless there is a
connection.
This fixes NULL pointer dereference that is caused by an
attempt to register bogus partner alternate mode that the
firmware on some platform may report before the actual
connection.

In 4.13, commit 74310e06be4d ("android: binder: Move buffer out of area shared with user space")
fixed a kernel structure visibility issue. As part of that patch,
sizeof(void *) was used as the buffer size for 0-length data payloads so
the driver could detect abusive clients sending 0-length asynchronous
transactions to a server by enforcing limits on async_free_size.
Unfortunately, on the "free" side, the accounting of async_free_space
did not add the sizeof(void *) back. The result was that up to 8-bytes of
async_free_space were leaked on every async transaction of 8-bytes or
less. These small transactions are uncommon, so this accounting issue
has gone undetected for several years.
The fix is to use "buffer_size" (the allocated buffer size) instead of
"size" (the logical buffer size) when updating the async_free_space
during the free operation. These are the same except for this
corner case of asynchronous transactions with payloads < 8 bytes.

Commit 85bf17b28f97 ("recordmcount.pl: look for jgnop instruction as well
as bcrl on s390") added a new alternative mnemonic for the existing brcl
instruction. This is required for the combination old gcc version (pre 9.0)
and binutils since version 2.37.
However at the same time this commit introduced a typo, replacing brcl with
bcrl. As a result no mcount locations are detected anymore with old gcc
versions (pre 9.0) and binutils before version 2.37.
Fix this by using the correct mnemonic again.
