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.

The sysrq input handler should be attached to the input device which has
a left alt key.
On 32-bit kernels, some input devices which has a left alt key cannot
attach sysrq handler. Because the keybit bitmap in struct input_device_id
for sysrq is not correctly initialized. KEY_LEFTALT is 56 which is
greater than BITS_PER_LONG on 32-bit kernels.
I found this problem when using a matrix keypad device which defines
a KEY_LEFTALT (56) but doesn't have a KEY_O (24 == 56%32).

USB-serial fixes for v4.10-rc4
These fixes address a number of issues in the ch341 driver and includes
a partial revert of a change in how we set the line settings that went
into 4.10-rc1 but which turned out to have undesired side effects. This
included deasserting the modem-control lines when configuring the
device, but also prevented a certain class of CH340 devices from working
with the driver.
Included are also two fixes for two minor information leaks in
kl5kusb105 and ch341 due to failures to detect short control transfers.

This commit needs to be reverted because it prevents people from
using the serial console as a secondary console with input being
directed to tty0.
IOW, if you boot with console=ttyS0 console=tty0 then all kernels
prior to this commit will produce output on both ttyS0 and tty0
but input will only be taken from tty0. With this patch the serial
console will always be the primary console instead of tty0,
potentially preventing people from getting into their machines in
emergency situations.

"Here are a bunch of USB fixes for 4.10-rc3. Yeah, it's a lot, an
artifact of the holiday break I think.
Lots of gadget and the usual XHCI fixups for reported issues (one day

driver fixes, and for good measure, a number of much-reported MUSB

On AMD's SB800 and upwards, the SMBus is shared with the Integrated
Micro Controller (IMC).
The platform provides a hardware semaphore to avoid race conditions
among them. (Check page 288 of the SB800-Series Southbridges Register
Reference Guide http://support.amd.com/TechDocs/45482.pdf)
Without this patch, many access to the SMBus end with an invalid
transaction or even with the bus stalled.

If a URB is killed while the host is removed we can end up in a situation
where the hub thread takes the roothub device lock, and waits for
the URB to be given back by xhci-hcd, blocking the host remove code.
xhci-hcd tries to stop the endpoint and give back the urb, but can't
as the host is removed from PCI bus at the same time, preventing the normal
way of giving back urb.
Instead we need to rely on the stop command timeout function to give back
the urb. This xhci_stop_endpoint_command_watchdog() timeout function
used a XHCI_STATE_DYING flag to indicate if the timeout function is already
running, but later this flag has been taking into use in other places to
mark that xhci is dying.
Remove checks for XHCI_STATE_DYING in xhci_urb_dequeue. We are still
checking that reading from pci state does not return 0xffffffff or that
host is not halted before trying to stop the endpoint.
This whole area of stopping endpoints, giving back URBs, and the wathdog
timeout need rework, this fix focuses on solving a specific deadlock
issue that we can then send to stable before any major rework.
