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.

Now that lguest is gone, put it in the internal header which should be
used only by MCA/RAS code.
Add missing header guards while at it.

parse_cec_param() compares a string with "cec_disable" using only 7
characters of the 11-character-long string.
The proper solution for this would be:
#define CEC_DISABLE "cec_disable"
strncmp(str, CEC_DISABLE, strlen(CEC_DISABLE))
but when comparing a string against a string constant strncmp() has no
advantage over strcmp() because the comparison is guaranteed to be bound by
the string constant. So just replace str strncmp() with strcmp().
[ tglx: Made it use strcmp and updated the changelog ]

"The recent migration code updates assumed that migrations always
execute from the top to the bottom once and didn't clean up internal
states after each migration round; however, cgroup_transfer_tasks()
repeats the inner steps multiple times and the garbage internal states
from the previous iteration led to OOPS.
Waiman fixed the bug by reinitializing the relevant states at the end
of each migration round"

Pull percpu fixes from Tejun Heo:
"Rather important fixes this time.
- The new percpu area allocator had a subtle bug in how it iterates
the memory regions and could skip viable areas, which led to
allocation failures for module static percpu variables. Dennis
fixed the bug and another non-critical one in stat calculation.
- Mark noticed that the generic implementations of percpu local
atomic reads aren't properly protected against irqs and there's a
(slim) chance for split reads on some 32bit systems. Generic
implementations are updated to disable irq when read size is larger
than ulong size. This may have made some 32bit archs which can do
atomic local 64bit accesses generate sub-optimal code. We need to
find them out and implement arch-specific overrides"
* 'for-4.14-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu:
percpu: fix iteration to prevent skipping over block
percpu: fix starting offset for chunk statistics traversal
percpu: make this_cpu_generic_read() atomic w.r.t. interrupts
The cgroup_taskset structure within the larger cgroup_mgctx structure
is supposed to be used once and then discarded. That is not really the
case in the hotplug code path:
cpuset_hotplug_workfn()
- cgroup_transfer_tasks()
- cgroup_migrate()
- cgroup_migrate_add_task()
- cgroup_migrate_execute()
In this case, the cgroup_migrate() function is called multiple time
with the same cgroup_mgctx structure to transfer the tasks from
one cgroup to another one-by-one. The second time cgroup_migrate()
is called, the cgroup_taskset will be in an incorrect state and so
may cause the system to panic. For example,

To allow reuse of the cgroup_mgctx structure, some fields in that
structure are now re-initialized at the end of cgroup_migrate_execute()
function call so that the structure can be reused again in a later
iteration without causing problem.
This bug was introduced in the commit e595cd706982 ("group: track
migration context in cgroup_mgctx") in 4.11. This commit moves the
cgroup_taskset initialization out of cgroup_migrate(). The commit
10467270fb3 ("cgroup: don't call migration methods if there are no
tasks to migrate") helped, but did not completely resolve the problem.

The iterator functions pcpu_next_md_free_region and
pcpu_next_fit_region use the block offset to determine if they have
checked the area in the prior iteration. However, this causes an issue
when the block offset is greater than subsequent block contig hints. If
within the iterator it moves to check subsequent blocks, it may fail in
the second predicate due to the block offset not being cleared. Thus,
this causes the allocator to skip over blocks leading to false failures
when allocating from the reserved chunk. While this happens in the
general case as well, it will only fail if it cannot allocate a new
chunk.
This patch resets the block offset to 0 to pass the second predicate
when checking subseqent blocks within the iterator function.

There's a bunch of stuff in here based on the great work Andrey
Konovalov is doing in fuzzing the USB stack. Lots of bug fixes when
dealing with corrupted USB descriptors that we've never seen in
"normal" operation, but is now ensuring the stack is much more
hardened overall.
There's also the usual XHCI and gadget driver fixes as well, and a
build error fix, and a few other minor things, full details in the
shortlog.
All of these have been in linux-next with no reported issues"
