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.

Second set of IIO fixes for the 5.4 cycle.
* adis16480
- Prevent negative numbers being accepted for sampling frequency.
* inv_mpu6050
- Fix an issue where fifo overflow bits don't actually work as expected,
by checking the fifo count instead.
* srf04
- Allow more time for echo to signal as some sensors supported have
a higher range.
* stm32-adc
- Fix a potential race in dma disable by ensuring all transfers are done.

VirtualBox hosts can share folders with guests, this commit adds a
VFS driver implementing the Linux-guest side of this, allowing folders
exported by the host to be mounted under Linux.
This driver depends on the guest <-> host IPC functions exported by
the vboxguest driver.

There maybe a race when using dmaengine_terminate_all(). The predisable
routine may call iio_triggered_buffer_predisable() prior to a pending DMA
callback.
Adopt dmaengine_terminate_sync() to ensure there's no pending DMA request
before calling iio_triggered_buffer_predisable().

Some chips have a fifo overflow bit issue where the bit is always
set. The result is that every data is dropped.
Change fifo overflow management by checking fifo count against
a maximum value.
Add fifo size in chip hardware set of values.

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Two fixes for the VMWare guest support:
- Unbreak VMWare platform detection which got wreckaged by converting
an integer constant to a string constant.
- Fix the clang build of the VMWAre hypercall by explicitely
specifying the ouput register for INL instead of using the short
form"

x86/cpu/vmware: Fix platform detection VMWARE_PORT macro
x86/cpu/vmware: Use the full form of INL in VMWARE_HYPERCALL, for clang/llvm
The measured time value in the driver is limited to the maximum distance
which can be read by the sensor. This limitation was wrong and is fixed
by this patch.
It also takes into account that we are supporting a variety of sensors
today and that the recently added sensors have a higher maximum
distance range.

Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A small set of fixes for time(keeping):
- Add a missing include to prevent compiler warnings.
- Make the VDSO implementation of clock_getres() POSIX compliant
again. A recent change dropped the NULL pointer guard which is
required as NULL is a valid pointer value for this function.
- Fix two function documentation typos"

posix-cpu-timers: Fix two trivial comments
timers/sched_clock: Include local timekeeping.h for missing declarations
lib/vdso: Make clock_getres() POSIX compliant again
The platform detection VMWARE_PORT macro uses the VMWARE_HYPERVISOR_PORT
definition, but expects it to be an integer. However, when it was moved
to the new vmware.h include file, it was changed to be a string to better
fit into the VMWARE_HYPERCALL set of macros. This obviously breaks the
platform detection VMWARE_PORT functionality.
Change the VMWARE_HYPERVISOR_PORT and VMWARE_HYPERVISOR_PORT_HB
definitions to be integers, and use __stringify() for their stringified
form when needed.

It could happen that either `val` or `val2` [provided from userspace] is
negative. In that case the computed frequency could get a weird value.
Fix this by checking that neither of the 2 variables is negative, and check
that the computed result is not-zero.

Pull perf fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of perf fixes:
kernel:
- Unbreak the tracking of auxiliary buffer allocations which got
imbalanced causing recource limit failures.
- Fix the fallout of splitting of ToPA entries which missed to shift
the base entry PA correctly.
- Use the correct context to lookup the AUX event when unmapping the
associated AUX buffer so the event can be stopped and the buffer
reference dropped.
tools:
- Fix buildiid-cache mode setting in copyfile_mode_ns() when copying
/proc/kcore
- Fix freeing id arrays in the event list so the correct event is
closed.
- Sync sched.h anc kvm.h headers with the kernel sources.
- Link jvmti against tools/lib/ctype.o to have weak strlcpy().
- Fix multiple memory and file descriptor leaks, found by coverity in
perf annotate.
- Fix leaks in error handling paths in 'perf c2c', 'perf kmem', found
by a static analysis tool"
