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 perf fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"Mostly tooling fixes, but also a couple of updates for new Intel
models (which are technically hw-enablement, but to users it's a fix
to perf behavior on those new CPUs - hope this is fine), an AUX
inheritance fix, event time-sharing fix, and a fix for lost non-perf
NMI events on AMD systems"

Tiger Lake is the followon to Ice Lake. From the perspective of Intel
cstate residency counters, there is nothing changed compared with
Ice Lake.
Share icl_cstates with Ice Lake.
Update the comments for Tiger Lake.
The External Design Specification (EDS) is not published yet. It comes
from an authoritative internal source.
The patch has been tested on real hardware.

Pull x86 fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"A handful of fixes: a kexec linking fix, an AMD MWAITX fix, a vmware
guest support fix when built under Clang, and new CPU model number
definitions"
* 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:

lib/string: Make memzero_explicit() inline instead of external
x86/cpu/vmware: Use the full form of INL in VMWARE_PORT
x86/asm: Fix MWAITX C-state hint value
Currently the check for tbl_size being less than zero is always false
because tbl_size is unsigned. Fix this by making it a signed int.

Comet Lake is the new 10th Gen Intel processor. Add two new CPU model
numbers to the Intel family list.
The CPU model numbers are not published in the SDM yet but they come
from an authoritative internal source.

kexec reboot fails randomly in UEFI based KVM guest. The firmware
just resets while calling efi_delete_dummy_variable(); Unfortunately
I don't know how to debug the firmware, it is also possible a potential
problem on real hardware as well although nobody reproduced it.
The intention of the efi_delete_dummy_variable is to trigger garbage collection
when entering virtual mode. But SetVirtualAddressMap can only run once
for each physical reboot, thus kexec_enter_virtual_mode() is not necessarily
a good place to clean a dummy object.
Drop the efi_delete_dummy_variable so that kexec reboot can work.

Tiger Lake is the followon to Ice Lake. From the perspective of Intel
core PMU, there is little changes compared with Ice Lake, e.g. small
changes in event list. But it doesn't impact on core PMU functionality.
Share the perf code with Ice Lake. The event list patch will be submitted
later separately.
The patch has been tested on real hardware.

With the use of the barrier implied by barrier_data(), there is no need
for memzero_explicit() to be extern. Making it inline saves the overhead
of a function call, and allows the code to be reused in arch/*/purgatory
without having to duplicate the implementation.
