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.

Alexey reported that the fraction of unknown filename instances in
kallsyms grew from ~0.3% to ~10% recently; Bill and Greg tracked it down
to assembler defined symbols, which regressed as a result of:
commit b8a9092330da ("Kbuild: do not emit debug info for assembly with LLVM_IAS=1")
In that commit, I allude to restoring debug info for assembler defined
symbols in a follow up patch, but it seems I forgot to do so in
commit a66049e2cf0e ("Kbuild: make DWARF version a choice")

It is not necessary to go through the process of validation, linking of
queues to mdev and vice versa and filtering the APQNs assigned to the
matrix mdev to build an AP configuration for a guest if an adapter or
domain being assigned is already assigned to the matrix mdev. Likewise, it
is not necessary to proceed through the process the unassignment of an
adapter, domain or control domain if it is not assigned to the matrix mdev.
Since it is not necessary to process assignment of a resource already
assigned or process unassignment of a resource that is been assigned,
this patch will bypass all assignment/unassignment operations for an
adapter, domain or control domain under these circumstances.
Not only is assignment of a duplicate adapter or domain unnecessary, it
will also cause a hang situation when removing the matrix mdev to which it is
assigned. The reason is because the same vfio_ap_queue objects with an
APQN containing the APID of the adapter or APQI of the domain being
assigned will get added multiple times to the hashtable that holds them.
This results in the pprev and next pointers of the hlist_node (mdev_qnode
field in the vfio_ap_queue object) pointing to the queue object itself
resulting in an interminable loop when the mdev is removed and the queue
table is iterated to reset the queues.

Dmitrii, Fangrui, and Mashahiro note:
Before GCC 11 and Clang 12 -gsplit-dwarf implicitly uses -g2.
Fix CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT for gcc-11+ & clang-12+ which now need -g
specified in order for -gsplit-dwarf to work at all.
-gsplit-dwarf has been mutually exclusive with -g since support for
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT was introduced in
commit 866ced950bcd ("kbuild: Support split debug info v4")
I don't think it ever needed to be.

As result of commit 915fea04f932 ("s390/smp: enable DAT before
CPU restart callback is called") the low-address protection bit
gets mistakenly unset in control register 0 save area of the
absolute zero memory. That area is used when manual PSW restart
happened to hit an offline CPU. In this case the low-address
protection for that CPU will be dropped.

Commit e90886291c7c ("certs: make system keyring depend on x509 parser")
is not the right fix because x509_load_certificate_list() can be modular.
The combination of CONFIG_SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYRING=y and
CONFIG_X509_CERTIFICATE_PARSER=m still results in the following error:
LD .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1

- fsl_lpuart reset bugfix
- 8250 omap 485 bugfix
- sifive serial clock bugfix

being added to my tree only 2 days ago, but they are tiny and
self-contained and the developers say they resolve issues that they
have with 6.0-rc. The other three have been in linux-next for a while
with no reported issues"

IRQ trigger configuration is skipped if it has already been set before;
however, the IRQ line still needs to be OR'd to irq_enabled because
irq_enabled is reset for every events_configure call. This patch moves
the irq_enabled OR operation update to before the irq_trigger check so
that IRQ line enablement is not skipped.
