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 reStructuredText 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.

Masami reported a bug when running function graph tracing then the
function profiler. The following commands would cause a kernel crash:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
# echo function_graph > current_tracer
# echo 1 > function_profile_enabled
In that order. Create a test to test this two to make sure this does not
come back as a regression.

Pull fbdev platform driver fix from Helge Deller:
"Switch fbdev drivers back to struct platform_driver::remove()
Now that 'remove()' has been converted to the sane new API, there's
no reason for the 'remove_new()' use, so this converts back to the
traditional and simpler name.
See commits
5c5a7680e67b ("platform: Provide a remove callback that returns no value")

A root node is required to apply DT overlays. A root node is usually
present after commit 7b937cc243e5 ("of: Create of_root if no dtb
provided by firmware"), except for on arm64 systems booted with ACPI
tables. In that case, the root node is intentionally not populated
because it would "allow DT devices to be instantiated atop an ACPI base
system"[1].
Introduce an OF function that skips the kunit test if the root node
isn't populated. Limit the test to when both CONFIG_ARM64 and
CONFIG_ACPI are set, because otherwise the lack of a root node is a bug.
Make the function private and take a kunit test parameter so that it
can't be abused to test for the presence of the root node in non-test
code.
Use this function to skip tests that require the root node. Currently
that's the DT tests and any tests that apply overlays.

Pull gpio fixes from Bartosz Golaszewski:
- fix clock handle leak in probe() error path in gpio-aspeed
- add a dummy register read to ensure the write actually completed
* tag 'gpio-fixes-for-v6.12-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brgl/linux:
gpio: aspeed: Use devm_clk api to manage clock source
gpio: aspeed: Add the flush write to ensure the write complete.
After commit 0edb555a65d1 ("platform: Make platform_driver::remove()
return void") .remove() is (again) the right callback to implement for
platform drivers.
Convert all platform drivers below drivers/video/fbdev to use .remove(),
with the eventual goal to drop struct platform_driver::remove_new(). As
.remove() and .remove_new() have the same prototypes, conversion is done
by just changing the structure member name in the driver initializer.
While touching these files, make indention of the struct initializer
consistent in several files.

Got following report when doing overlay_test:
OF: ERROR: memory leak, expected refcount 1 instead of 2,
of_node_get()/of_node_put() unbalanced - destroy cset entry:
attach overlay node /kunit-test
OF: ERROR: memory leak before free overlay changeset, /kunit-test
In of_overlay_apply_kunit_cleanup(), the "np" should be associated with
fake instead of test to call of_node_put(), so the node is put before
the overlay is removed.
It also fix the following memory leaks:

The driver(drivers/irqchip/irq-ls-extirq.c) have not use standard DT
function to parser interrupt-map. So it doesn't consider '#address-size'
in parent interrupt controller, such as GIC.
When dt-binding verify interrupt-map, item data matrix is spitted at
incorrect position. So cause below warning:
arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/fsl-ls1088a-qds.dtb: interrupt-controller@14:
interrupt-map: [[0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 4, 1, 0], [1, 0, 1, 4, 2, 0, 1, 0], ...

Remove interrupt-map restriction to workaround this warning for
'fsl,ls1088a-extirq', 'fsl,ls2080a-extirq' and fsl,lx2160a-extirq.
Other keep the same restriction.
