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 more dma-mapping updates from Christoph Hellwig:
- fix a regression in dma remap handling vs AMD memory encryption (me)
- finally kill off the legacy PCI DMA API (Christophe JAILLET)
* tag 'dma-mapping-5.18-1' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/dma-mapping:
dma-mapping: move pgprot_decrypted out of dma_pgprot

Pull ARM fixes from Russell King:
- avoid unnecessary rebuilds for library objects
- fix return value of __setup handlers
- fix invalid input check for "crashkernel=" kernel option
- silence KASAN warnings in unwind_frame
* tag 'for-linus' of git://git.armlinux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm:

ARM: 9189/1: decompressor: fix unneeded rebuilds of library objects
pgprot_decrypted is used by AMD SME systems to allow access to memory
that was set to not encrypted using set_memory_decrypted. That only
happens for dma-direct memory as the IOMMU solves the addressing
challenges for the encryption bit using its own remapping.
Move the pgprot_decrypted call out of dma_pgprot which is also used
by the IOMMU mappings and into dma-direct so that it is only used with
memory that was set decrypted.

Pull more perf tools updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Avoid SEGV if core.cpus isn't set in 'perf stat'.
- Stop depending on .git files for building PERF-VERSION-FILE, used in
'perf --version', fixing some perf tools build scenarios.
- Convert tracepoint.py example to python3.
- Update UAPI header copies from the kernel sources: socket,
mman-common, msr-index, KVM, i915 and cpufeatures.
- Update copy of libbpf's hashmap.c.
- Directly return instead of using local ret variable in
evlist__create_syswide_maps(), found by coccinelle.

Since commit 251cc826be7d ("ARM: 9154/1: decompressor: do not copy source
files while building"), the following three are rebuilt every time.
AS arch/arm/boot/compressed/lib1funcs.o
AS arch/arm/boot/compressed/ashldi3.o
AS arch/arm/boot/compressed/bswapsdi2.o
Move the "OBJS += ..." line up so these objects are added to 'targets'.

Now that all usages of the functions defined in "pci-dma-compat.h" have
been removed, it is time to remove this file as well.
In order not to break builds, move the "#include <linux/dma-mapping.h>"
that was in "pci-dma-compat.h" into "include/linux/pci.h"
