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 timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Two small fixes for the time(r) subsystem:
- Handle a subtle race between the clocksource watchdog and a
concurrent clocksource watchdog stop/start sequence correctly to
prevent a timer double add bug.
- Fix the file path for the core time namespace file"

Pull interrupt fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of fixes for the interrupt subsystem:
- Provision only ACPI enabled redistributors on GICv3
- Use the proper command colums when building the INVALL command for
the GICv3-ITS
- Ensure the allocation of the L2 vPE table for GICv4.1
- Correct the GICv4.1 VPROBASER programming so it uses the proper
size
- A set of small GICv4.1 tidy up patches
- Configuration cleanup for C-SKY interrupt chip
- Clarify the function documentation for irq_set_wake() to document
that the wakeup functionality is orthogonal to the irq
disable/enable mechanism"

Kernel crashes inside QEMU/KVM are observed:
kernel BUG at kernel/time/timer.c:1154!
BUG_ON(timer_pending(timer) || !timer->function) in add_timer_on().
At the same time another cpu got:
general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI of poinson pointer 0xdead000000000200 in:
__hlist_del at include/linux/list.h:681
(inlined by) detach_timer at kernel/time/timer.c:818
(inlined by) expire_timers at kernel/time/timer.c:1355
(inlined by) __run_timers at kernel/time/timer.c:1686
(inlined by) run_timer_softirq at kernel/time/timer.c:1699
Unfortunately kernel logs are badly scrambled, stacktraces are lost.
Printing the timer->function before the BUG_ON() pointed to
clocksource_watchdog().
The execution of clocksource_watchdog() can race with a sequence of
clocksource_stop_watchdog() .. clocksource_start_watchdog():
expire_timers()
detach_timer(timer, true);
timer->entry.pprev = NULL;
raw_spin_unlock_irq(&base->lock);
call_timer_fn
clocksource_watchdog()
clocksource_watchdog_kthread() or
clocksource_unbind()
spin_lock_irqsave(&watchdog_lock, flags);
clocksource_stop_watchdog();
del_timer(&watchdog_timer);
watchdog_running = 0;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&watchdog_lock, flags);
spin_lock_irqsave(&watchdog_lock, flags);
clocksource_start_watchdog();
add_timer_on(&watchdog_timer, ...);
watchdog_running = 1;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&watchdog_lock, flags);
spin_lock(&watchdog_lock);
add_timer_on(&watchdog_timer, ...);
BUG_ON(timer_pending(timer) || !timer->function);
timer_pending() -> true
BUG()
I.e. inside clocksource_watchdog() watchdog_timer could be already armed.
Check timer_pending() before calling add_timer_on(). This is sufficient as
all operations are synchronized by watchdog_lock.

Pull EFI fix from Thomas Gleixner:
"A single fix for a EFI boot regression on X86 which was caused by the
recent rework of the EFI memory map parsing. On systems with invalid
memmap entries the cleanup function uses an value which cannot be
relied on in this stage. Use the actual EFI memmap entry instead"

Pull irqchip fixes for 5.6, take #1 from Marc Zyngier:
- Guarantee allocation of L2 vPE table for GICv4.1
- Fix GICv4.1 VPROPBASER programming
- Numerous GICv4.1 tidy ups
- Fix disabled GICv3 redistributor provisioning with ACPI
- KConfig cleanup for C-SKY
According to reviews, Time Namespace source was moved from
kernel/time_namespace.c to kernel/time/namespace.c between patchset
versions, while the path in MAINTERNERS file wasn't adjusted properly.
Correct it, so get_maintainer.pl produces a correct emails list again.

pull request.

In efi_clean_memmap(), we do a pass over the EFI memory map to remove
bogus entries that may be returned on certain systems.
This recent commit:
1db91035d01aa8bf ("efi: Add tracking for dynamically allocated memmaps")
refactored this code to pass the input to efi_memmap_install() via a
temporary struct on the stack, which is populated using an initializer
which inadvertently defines the value of its size field in terms of its
desc_size field, which value cannot be relied upon yet in the initializer
itself.
Fix this by using efi.memmap.desc_size instead, which is where we get
the value for desc_size from in the first place.

There's some confusion around if an irq that's disabled with disable_irq()
can still wake the system from sleep states such as "suspend to RAM".
Clarify this in the kernel documentation for irq_set_irq_wake() so that
it's clear that an irq can be disabled and still wake the system if it has
been marked for wakeup.
