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.

ima: fix wrong zero-assignment during securityfs dentry remove
This tag includes a nice fix in the PNX driver that has been
pending for a long time. Piotr has replaced a potential lock in
the interrupt context with a more efficient and straightforward
handling of the timeout signaling.
Pull pci update from Bjorn Helgaas:
- Update MAINTAINERS and CREDITS to credit Gustavo Pimentel with the
Synopsys DesignWare eDMA driver and reflect that he is no longer at
Synopsys and isn't in a position to maintain the DesignWare xData
traffic generator (Bjorn Helgaas)
* tag 'pci-v6.10-fixes-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pci/pci:
CREDITS: Add Synopsys DesignWare eDMA driver for Gustavo Pimentel
MAINTAINERS: Orphan Synopsys DesignWare xData traffic generator
In case of error during ima_fs_init() all the dentry already created
are removed. {ascii, binary}_securityfs_measurement_lists are freed
calling for each array the remove_securityfs_measurement_lists(). This
function, at the end, assigns to zero the securityfs_measurement_list_count.
This causes during the second call of remove_securityfs_measurement_lists()
to leave the dentry of the array pending, not removing them correctly,
because the securityfs_measurement_list_count is already zero.
Move the securityfs_measurement_list_count = 0 after the two
remove_securityfs_measurement_lists() calls to correctly remove all the
dentry already allocated.

When del_timer_sync() is called in an interrupt context it throws a warning
because of potential deadlock. The timer is used only to exit from
wait_for_completion() after a timeout so replacing the call with
wait_for_completion_timeout() allows to remove the problematic timer and
its related functions altogether.

Pull RISC-V fixes from Palmer Dabbelt:
- A fix for the CMODX example in the recently added icache flushing
prctl()
- A fix to the perf driver to avoid corrupting event data on counter
overflows when external overflow handlers are in use
- A fix to clear all hardware performance monitor events on boot, to
avoid dangling events firmware or previously booted kernels from
triggering spuriously
- A fix to the perf event probing logic to avoid erroneously reporting
the presence of unimplemented counters. This also prevents some
implemented counters from being reported
- A build fix for the vector sigreturn selftest on clang

argument to ftrace_graph_ret_addr()

interrupt context

Pull ata fixes from Niklas Cassel:
- Add NOLPM quirk for for all Crucial BX SSD1 models.
Considering that we now have had bug reports for 3 different BX SSD1
variants from Crucial with the same product name, make the quirk more
inclusive, to catch more device models from the same generation.
- Fix a trivial NULL pointer dereference in the error path for
ata_host_release().
- Create a ata_port_free(), so that we don't miss freeing ata_port
struct members when freeing a struct ata_port.
- Fix a trivial double free in the error path for ata_host_alloc().
- Ensure that we remove the libata "remapped NVMe device count" sysfs
entry on .probe() error.

If the kexec crash code is called in the interrupt context, the
machine_kexec_mask_interrupts() function will trigger a deadlock while
trying to acquire the irqdesc spinlock and then deactivate irqchip in
irq_set_irqchip_state() function.
Unlike arm64, riscv only requires irq_eoi handler to complete EOI and
keeping irq_set_irqchip_state() will only leave this possible deadlock
without any use. So we simply remove it.

Pull ata fixes from Niklas Cassel:
- Add a quirk for three different devices that have shown issues with
LPM (link power management). These devices appear to not implement
LPM properly, since we see command timeouts when enabling LPM. The
quirk disables LPM for these problematic devices. (Me)
- Do not apply the Intel PCS quirk on Alder Lake. The quirk is not
needed and was originally added by mistake when LPM support was
enabled for this AHCI controller. Enabling the quirk when not needed
causes the the controller to not be able to detect the connected
devices on some platforms.
