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.

This reverts commit 54fc3c681ded9437e4548e2501dc1136b23cfa9a
which does not allow 1:1 mapping even for the system RAM which
is usually possible.

In case the FORM2 distance table from firmware is not the expected size,
there is fallback code that just populates the lookup table as local vs
remote.
However it then continues on to use the distance table. Fix.

The name of the local variable holding the "form2" property address
conflicts with the numa_distance_table global.
This patch does 's/numa_dist_table/form2_distances/g' over the function,
which also renames numa_dist_table_length to form2_distances_length.

Since commit bce74491c300 ("powerpc/vdso: fix unnecessary rebuilds of
vgettimeofday.o"), "make ARCH=powerpc clean" does not clean up the
arch/powerpc/kernel/{vdso32,vdso64} directories.
Use the subdir- trick to let "make clean" descend into them.

Commit 5d354dc35ebb ("powerpc/83xx/mpc8349emitx: Make
mcu_gpiochip_remove() return void") removed the usage of the variable
ret, but failed to remove the variable itself, resulting in:
arch/powerpc/platforms/83xx/mcu_mpc8349emitx.c: In function ‘mcu_remove’:
arch/powerpc/platforms/83xx/mcu_mpc8349emitx.c:189:6: error: unused variable ‘ret’ [-Werror=unused-variable]
189 | int ret;
| ^~~
So remove the variable now.

kvmppc_h_set_dabr(), and kvmppc_h_set_xdabr() which jumps into
it, need to use _GLOBAL_TOC to setup the kernel TOC pointer, because
kvmppc_h_set_dabr() uses LOAD_REG_ADDR() to load dawr_force_enable.
When called from hcall_try_real_mode() we have the kernel TOC in r2,
established near the start of kvmppc_interrupt_hv(), so there is no
issue.
But they can also be called from kvmppc_pseries_do_hcall() which is
module code, so the access ends up happening with the kvm-hv module's
r2, which will not point at dawr_force_enable and could even cause a
fault.
With the current code layout and compilers we haven't observed a fault
in practice, the load hits somewhere in kvm-hv.ko and silently returns
some bogus value.
Note that we we expect p8/p9 guests to use the DAWR, but SLOF uses
h_set_dabr() to test if sc1 works correctly, see SLOF's
lib/libhvcall/brokensc1.c.

-Wimplicit-fallthrough=5 was under cc-option because it was only
available in GCC 7.x and newer so the build is now broken for GCC 5.x
and 6.x:
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-Wimplicit-fallthrough=5';
did you mean '-Wno-fallthrough'?
Fix this by moving -Wimplicit-fallthrough=5 under cc-option.

Add Kconfig support for -Wimplicit-fallthrough for both GCC and Clang.
The compiler option is under configuration CC_IMPLICIT_FALLTHROUGH,
which is enabled by default.
Special thanks to Nathan Chancellor who fixed the Clang bug[1][2]. This
bugfix only appears in Clang 14.0.0, so older versions still contain
the bug and -Wimplicit-fallthrough won't be enabled for them, for now.
This concludes a long journey and now we are finally getting rid
of the unintentional fallthrough bug-class in the kernel, entirely. :)

Pull xfs cleanups from Darrick Wong:
"The most 'exciting' aspect of this branch is that the xfsprogs
maintainer and I have worked through the last of the code
discrepancies between kernel and userspace libxfs such that there are
no code differences between the two except for #includes.
IOWs, diff suffices to demonstrate that the userspace tools behave the
same as the kernel, and kernel-only bits are clearly marked in the
/kernel/ source code instead of just the userspace source.
Summary:
- Clean up open-coded swap() calls.
- A little bit of #ifdef golf to complete the reunification of the
kernel and userspace libxfs source code"
