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.

Pull USB and Thunderbolt fixes from Greg KH:
"Here are some small Thunderbolt and USB driver fixes for 5.10-rc4 to
solve some reported issues.
Nothing huge in here, just small things:
- thunderbolt memory leaks fixed and new device ids added
- revert of problem patch for the musb driver
- new quirks added for USB devices
- typec power supply fixes to resolve much reported problems about
charging notifications not working anymore
All except the cdc-acm driver quirk addition have been in linux-next
with no reported issues (the quirk patch was applied on Friday, and is
self-contained)"

Renesas R-Car and RZ/G SoCs have a firmware download mode over USB.
However, on reset a banner string is transmitted out which is not expected
to be echoed back and will corrupt the protocol.

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A small set of fixes for x86:
- Cure the fallout from the MSI irqdomain overhaul which missed that
the Intel IOMMU does not register virtual function devices and
therefore never reaches the point where the MSI interrupt domain is
assigned. This made the VF devices use the non-remapped MSI domain
which is trapped by the IOMMU/remap unit
- Remove an extra space in the SGI_UV architecture type procfs output
for UV5
- Remove a unused function which was missed when removing the UV BAU
TLB shootdown handler"

x86/platform/uv: Fix copied UV5 output archtype
x86/platform/uv: Drop last traces of uv_flush_tlb_others
In some cases where shadow paging is in use, the root page will
be either mmu->pae_root or vcpu->arch.mmu->lm_root. Then it will
not have an associated struct kvm_mmu_page, because it is allocated
with alloc_page instead of kvm_mmu_alloc_page.
Just return false quickly from is_tdp_mmu_root if the TDP MMU is
not in use, which also includes the case where shadow paging is
enabled.

Pull perf fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of fixes for perf:
- A set of commits which reduce the stack usage of various perf
event handling functions which allocated large data structs on
stack causing stack overflows in the worst case
- Use the proper mechanism for detecting soft interrupts in the
recursion protection
- Make the resursion protection simpler and more robust
- Simplify the scheduling of event groups to make the code more
robust and prepare for fixing the issues vs. scheduling of
exclusive event groups
- Prevent event multiplexing and rotation for exclusive event groups
- Correct the perf event attribute exclusive semantics to take
pinned events, e.g. the PMU watchdog, into account
- Make the anythread filtering conditional for Intel's generic PMU
counters as it is not longer guaranteed to be supported on newer
CPUs. Check the corresponding CPUID leaf to make sure
- Fixup a duplicate initialization in an array which was probably
caused by the usual 'copy & paste - forgot to edit' mishap"

The recent changes to store the MSI irqdomain pointer in struct device
missed that Intel DMAR does not register virtual function devices. Due to
that a VF device gets the plain PCI-MSI domain assigned and then issues
compat MSI messages which get caught by the interrupt remapping unit.
Cure that by inheriting the irq domain from the physical function
device.
Ideally the irqdomain would be associated to the bus, but DMAR can have
multiple units and therefore irqdomains on a single bus. The VF 'bus' could
of course inherit the domain from the PF, but that'd be yet another x86
oddity.

Pull scheduler fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of scheduler fixes:
- Address a load balancer regression by making the load balancer use
the same logic as the wakeup path to spread tasks in the LLC domain
- Prefer the CPU on which a task run last over the local CPU in the
fast wakeup path for asymmetric CPU capacity systems to align with
the symmetric case. This ensures more locality and prevents massive
migration overhead on those asymetric systems
- Fix a memory corruption bug in the scheduler debug code caused by
handing a modified buffer pointer to kfree()"

A test shows that the output contains a space:
# cat /proc/sgi_uv/archtype
NSGI4 U/UVX
Remove that embedded space by copying the "trimmed" buffer instead of the
untrimmed input character list. Use sizeof to remove size dependency on
copy out length. Increase output buffer size by one character just in case
BIOS sends an 8 character string for archtype.
