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 x86 fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"Two fixes:
- Fix build failure on Ubuntu with new GCC packages that turn
on -fcf-protection
- Fix SME memory encryption PTE encoding bug - AFAICT the code
worked on 4K page sizes (level 1) but had the wrong shift at
higher page level orders (level 2 and higher)"

Pull locking fix from Ingo Molnar:
"Fix the non-debug mutex_lock_io_nested() method to map to
mutex_lock_io() instead of mutex_lock().
Right now nothing uses this API explicitly, but this is an
accident waiting to happen"

locking/mutex: Fix non debug version of mutex_lock_io_nested()
The new Ubuntu GCC packages turn on -fcf-protection globally,
which causes a build failure in the x86 realmode code:
cc1: error: ‘-fcf-protection’ is not compatible with this target
Turn it off explicitly on compilers that understand this option.

Pull cifs fixes from Steve French:
"Five cifs/smb3 fixes, two for stable.
Includes an important fix for encryption and an ACL fix, as well as a
fix for possible reflink data corruption"
* tag '5.12-rc4-smb3' of git://git.samba.org/sfrench/cifs-2.6:
smb3: fix cached file size problems in duplicate extents (reflink)
cifs: Silently ignore unknown oplock break handle
cifs: revalidate mapping when we open files for SMB1 POSIX
cifs: Fix chmod with modefromsid when an older ACE already exists.
cifs: Adjust key sizes and key generation routines for AES256 encryption
If CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=n then mutex_lock_io_nested() maps to
mutex_lock() which is clearly wrong because mutex_lock() lacks the
io_schedule_prepare()/finish() invocations.
Map it to mutex_lock_io().

The pfn variable contains the page frame number as returned by the
pXX_pfn() functions, shifted to the right by PAGE_SHIFT to remove the
page bits. After page protection computations are done to it, it gets
shifted back to the physical address using page_level_shift().
That is wrong, of course, because that function determines the shift
length based on the level of the page in the page table but in all the
cases, it was shifted by PAGE_SHIFT before.
Therefore, shift it back using PAGE_SHIFT to get the correct physical
address.

Pull io_uring fixes from Jens Axboe:
- Use thread info versions of flag testing, as discussed last week.
- The series enabling PF_IO_WORKER to just take signals, instead of
needing to special case that they do not in a bunch of places. Ends
up being pretty trivial to do, and then we can revert all the special
casing we're currently doing.
- Kill dead pointer assignment
- Fix hashed part of async work queue trace
- Fix sign extension issue for IORING_OP_PROVIDE_BUFFERS
- Fix a link completion ordering regression in this merge window
- Cancellation fixes

There were two problems (one of which could cause data corruption)
that were noticed with duplicate extents (ie reflink)
when debugging why various xfstests were being incorrectly skipped
(e.g. generic/138, generic/140, generic/142). First, we were not
updating the file size locally in the cache when extending a
file due to reflink (it would refresh after actimeo expires)
but xfstest was checking the size immediately which was still
0 so caused the test to be skipped. Second, we were setting
the target file size (which could shrink the file) in all cases
to the end of the reflinked range rather than only setting the
target file size when reflink would extend the file.

Sites that match init_section_contains() get marked as INIT. For
built-in code init_sections contains both __init and __exit text. OTOH
kernel_text_address() only explicitly includes __init text (and there
are no __exit text markers).
Match what jump_label already does and ignore the warning for INIT
sites. Also see the excellent changelog for commit: 8f35eaa5f2de
("jump_label: Don't warn on __exit jump entries")

There is an assignment to io that is never read after the assignment,
the assignment is redundant and can be removed.

Make SMB2 not print out an error when an oplock break is received for an
unknown handle, similar to SMB1. The debug message which is printed for
these unknown handles may also be misleading, so fix that too.
The SMB2 lease break path is not affected by this patch.
Without this, a program which writes to a file from one thread, and
opens, reads, and writes the same file from another thread triggers the
below errors several times a minute when run against a Samba server
configured with "smb2 leases = no".
