Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.

Pull VFIO fix from Alex Williamson:
"Revert masking INTx where it cannot be enabled - it plays poorly with
SR-IOV VFs and presumes DisINTx support"

This reverts commit 2170dd04316e0754cbbfa4892a25aead39d225f7
The intent of commit 2170dd04316e ("vfio-pci: Mask INTx if a device is
not capabable of enabling it") was to disallow the user from seeing
that the device supports INTx if the platform is incapable of enabling
it. The detection of this case however incorrectly includes devices
which natively do not support INTx, such as SR-IOV VFs, and further
discussions reveal gaps even for the target use case.

Pull staging/IIO fixes from Greg KH:
"Here are a few small staging and IIO fixes for various reported

Due to missing information in Hardware manual, current
implementation doesn't read ECCSTAT0 and ECCSTAT1 registers
for IFC 2.0.
Add support to read ECCSTAT0 and ECCSTAT1 registers during
ecccheck for IFC 2.0.

Number of ECC status registers i.e. (ECCSTATx) has been increased in IFC
version 2.0.0 due to increase in SRAM size. This is causing eccstat
array to over flow.
So, replace eccstat array with u32 variable to make it fail-safe and
independent of number of ECC status registers or SRAM size.

Pull x86/pti updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Another set of melted spectrum updates:
- Iron out the last late microcode loading issues by actually
checking whether new microcode is present and preventing the CPU
synchronization to run into a timeout induced hang.
- Remove Skylake C2 from the microcode blacklist according to the
latest Intel documentation
- Fix the VM86 POPF emulation which traps if VIP is set, but VIF is
not. Enhance the selftests to catch that kind of issue
- Annotate indirect calls/jumps for objtool on 32bit. This is not a
functional issue, but for consistency sake its the right thing to
do.
- Fix a jump label build warning observed on SPARC64 which uses 32bit
storage for the code location which is casted to 64 bit pointer w/o
extending it to 64bit first.
- Add two new cpufeature bits. Not really an urgent issue, but
provides them for both x86 and x86/kvm work. No impact on the
current kernel"

media: rc: lirc does not use LIRC_CAN_SEND_SCANCODE feature
Fix bugs in signaling the Hyper-V host when freeing space in the
host->guest ring buffer:
1. The interrupt_mask must not be used to determine whether to signal
on the host->guest ring buffer
2. The ring buffer write_index must be read (via hv_get_bytes_to_write)
*after* pending_send_sz is read in order to avoid a race condition
3. Comparisons with pending_send_sz must treat the "equals" case as
not-enough-space
4. Don't signal if the pending_send_sz feature is not present. Older
versions of Hyper-V that don't implement this feature will poll.

Second set of IIO fixes for the 4.16 cycle.
A slightly fiddly revert then fix pair in here as the bug lead to
an unused local variable that was then removed without us noticing
the bug. The revert should only be needed on 4.16 - the fix
goes back futher.
* ccs811
- Fix the transition from 'boot' to 'application' mode. Fixes the case
where the power is not cut between boot cycles.
* meson-saradc
- Fix missing mutex_unlock in an error path.
* sd-modulator
- Fix bindings doc to have the right value of io-channel-cells to reflect
that this device type only ever outputs one channel.
* st-accel
- Revert drop of redundant pointer patch.
- Use the now available pointer to avoid overwriting the platform data
pointer and causing trouble on reprobing the driver.
* st-pressure
- Use local copy of the platform data pointer to avoid overwriting the
one associated with the device, which would cause issues on reprobing
the driver.
* stm32-dfsdm
- Use the right regmap_cfg for the type of device.
- Correct the ID passed to stop channel to be the channel one.
- Correct which clock is used to allow for the 'audio' clock.
- Fix allocation of channels when more than one is enabled.
