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.

Pull hwmon fixes from Guenter Roeck:
"Fixes:
- Drop reference to obsolete maintainer tree
- Fix overflow bug in pmbus driver
- Fix SMBUS timeout problem in jc42 driver
For the SMBUS timeout handling, we had a brief discussion if this
should be considered a bug fix or a feature. Peter says "it fixes real
problems where the application misbehave due to faulty content when
reading from an eeprom", and he needs the patch in his company's v4.14
images. This is good enough for me and warrants backport to stable
kernels"

hwmon: (jc42) optionally try to disable the SMBUS timeout

Pull NFS client fixes from Anna Schumaker:
"These patches fix a problem with compiling using an old version of
gcc, and also fix up error handling in the SUNRPC layer.
- NFSv4: Ensure gcc 4.4.4 can compile initialiser for
"invalid_stateid"
- SUNRPC: Allow connect to return EHOSTUNREACH
- SUNRPC: Handle ENETDOWN errors"

SUNRPC: Handle ENETDOWN errors
SUNRPC: Allow connect to return EHOSTUNREACH
NFSv4: Ensure gcc 4.4.4 can compile initialiser for "invalid_stateid"
With a nxp,se97 chip on an atmel sama5d31 board, the I2C adapter driver
is not always capable of avoiding the 25-35 ms timeout as specified by
the SMBUS protocol. This may cause silent corruption of the last bit of
any transfer, e.g. a one is read instead of a zero if the sensor chip
times out. This also affects the eeprom half of the nxp-se97 chip, where
this silent corruption was originally noticed. Other I2C adapters probably
suffer similar issues, e.g. bit-banging comes to mind as risky...
The SMBUS register in the nxp chip is not a standard Jedec register, but
it is not special to the nxp chips either, at least the atmel chips
have the same mechanism. Therefore, do not special case this on the
manufacturer, it is opt-in via the device property anyway.

Power values in the 100s of watt range can easily blow past
32bit math limits when processing everything in microwatts.
Use 64bit math instead to avoid these issues on common 32bit ARM
BMC platforms.

Pull RISC-V cleanups and ABI fixes from Palmer Dabbelt:
"This contains a handful of small cleanups that are a result of
feedback that didn't make it into our original patch set, either
because the feedback hadn't been given yet, I missed the original
emails, or we weren't ready to submit the changes yet.
I've been maintaining the various cleanup patch sets I have as their
own branches, which I then merged together and signed. Each merge
commit has a short summary of the changes, and each branch is based on
your latest tag (4.15-rc1, in this case). If this isn't the right way
to do this then feel free to suggest something else, but it seems sane
to me.
Here's a short summary of the changes, roughly in order of how
interesting they are.
- libgcc.h has been moved from include/lib, where it's the only
member, to include/linux. This is meant to avoid tab completion
conflicts.
- VDSO entries for clock_get/gettimeofday/getcpu have been added.
These are simple syscalls now, but we want to let glibc use them
from the start so we can make them faster later.
- A VDSO entry for instruction cache flushing has been added so
userspace can flush the instruction cache.
- The VDSO symbol versions for __vdso_cmpxchg{32,64} have been
removed, as those VDSO entries don't actually exist.
- __io_writes has been corrected to respect the given type.
- A new READ_ONCE in arch_spin_is_locked().
- __test_and_op_bit_ord() is now actually ordered.
- Various small fixes throughout the tree to enable allmodconfig to
build cleanly.
- Removal of some dead code in our atomic support headers.
- Improvements to various comments in our atomic support headers"
* tag 'riscv-for-linus-4.15-rc2_cleanups' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/palmer/linux: (23 commits)
RISC-V: __io_writes should respect the length argument
move libgcc.h to include/linux
RISC-V: Clean up an unused include
RISC-V: Allow userspace to flush the instruction cache
RISC-V: Flush I$ when making a dirty page executable
RISC-V: Add missing include
RISC-V: Use define for get_cycles like other architectures
RISC-V: Provide stub of setup_profiling_timer()
RISC-V: Export some expected symbols for modules
RISC-V: move empty_zero_page definition to C and export it
RISC-V: io.h: type fixes for warnings
RISC-V: use RISCV_{INT,SHORT} instead of {INT,SHORT} for asm macros
RISC-V: use generic serial.h
RISC-V: remove spin_unlock_wait()
RISC-V: `sfence.vma` orderes the instruction cache
RISC-V: Add READ_ONCE in arch_spin_is_locked()
RISC-V: __test_and_op_bit_ord should be strongly ordered
RISC-V: Remove smb_mb__{before,after}_spinlock()
RISC-V: Remove __smp_bp__{before,after}_atomic
RISC-V: Comment on why {,cmp}xchg is ordered how it is
...
Once the inode item writeback errors is already fixed, it's time to fix the same
problem in dquot code.
Although there were no reports of users hitting this bug in dquot code (at least
none I've seen), the bug is there and I was already planning to fix it when the
correct approach to fix the inodes part was decided.
This patch aims to fix the same problem in dquot code, regarding failed buffers
being unable to be resubmitted once they are flush locked.
Tested with the recently test-case sent to fstests list by Hou Tao.

Pull arm64 fixes from Will Deacon:
"The critical one here is a fix for fpsimd register corruption across

- Fix out-of-tree module build failure when CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS=y
- Missing 'const' generating errors with LTO builds
- Remove unsupported events from Cortex-A73 PMU description

Olaf said: Here's a short series of patches that produces a working
allmodconfig. Would be nice to see them go in so we can add build
coverage.
I've dropped patches 8 and 10 from the original set:
* [PATCH 08/10] (RISC-V: Set __ARCH_WANT_RENAMEAT to pick up generic
version) has a better fix that I've sent out for review, we don't want
renameat.
* [PATCH 10/10] (input: joystick: riscv has get_cycles) has already been
taken into Dmitry Torokhov's tree.
Since we've used up all the bits in i_mode, the existing mode check
doesn't actually do anything useful. However, we've not used all the
bit values in the format portion of i_mode, so we /do/ need to test
that for bad values.
