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.

Occasionally objtool encounters symbol (as opposed to section)
relocations in .altinstructions. Typically they are the alternatives
written by elf_add_alternative() as encountered on a noinstr
validation run on vmlinux after having already ran objtool on the
individual .o files.
Basically this is the counterpart of commit 44f6a7c0755d ("objtool:
Fix seg fault with Clang non-section symbols"), because when these new
assemblers (binutils now also does this) strip the section symbols,
elf_add_reloc_to_insn() is forced to emit symbol based relocations.
As such, teach get_alt_entry() about different relocation types.

If driver read tmp value sufficient for
(tmp & 0x08) && (!(tmp & 0x80)) && ((tmp & 0x7) == ((tmp >> 4) & 0x7))
from device then Null pointer dereference occurs.
(It is possible if tmp = 0b0xyz1xyz, where same literals mean same numbers)
Also lm75[] does not serve a purpose anymore after switching to
devm_i2c_new_dummy_device() in w83791d_detect_subclients().

Nathan Chancellor reports that the recent change to pci_iounmap in
commit 9caea0007601 ("parisc: Declare pci_iounmap() parisc version only
when CONFIG_PCI enabled") causes build errors on arm64.
It took me about two hours to convince myself that I think I know what
the logic of that mess of #ifdef's in the <asm-generic/io.h> header file
really aim to do, and rewrite it to be easier to follow.
Famous last words.
Anyway, the code has now been lifted from that grotty header file into
lib/pci_iomap.c, and has fairly extensive comments about what the logic
is. It also avoids indirecting through another confusing (and badly
named) helper function that has other preprocessor config conditionals.
Let's see what odd architecture did something else strange in this area
to break things. But my arm64 cross build is clean.

Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
"A few block fixes for this release:
- Revert a BFQ commit that causes breakage for people. Unfortunately
it was auto-selected for stable as well, so now 5.14.7 suffers from
it too. Hopefully stable will pick up this revert quickly too, so
we can remove the issue on that end as well.
- Add a quirk for Apple NVMe controllers, which due to their
non-compliance broke due to the introduction of command sequences
(Keith)
- Use shifts in nbd, fixing a __divdi3 issue (Nick)"
* tag 'block-5.15-2021-10-01' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
nbd: use shifts rather than multiplies
Revert "block, bfq: honor already-setup queue merges"
nvme: add command id quirk for apple controllers
Both cxgb4 and csiostor drivers run on their own independent Physical
Function. But when cxgb4 and csiostor are both being loaded in parallel via
modprobe, there is a race when firmware upgrade is attempted by both the
drivers.
When the cxgb4 driver initiates the firmware upgrade, it halts the firmware
and the chip until upgrade is complete. When the csiostor driver is coming
up in parallel, the firmware mailbox communication fails with timeouts and
the csiostor driver probe fails.
Add a module soft dependency on cxgb4 driver to ensure loading csiostor
triggers cxgb4 to load first when available to avoid the firmware upgrade
race.
