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.

Commit:
765cc3a4b224e ("sched/core: Optimize sched_feat() for !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG builds")
made sched features static for !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG configurations, but
overlooked the CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=y and !CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL cases.
For the latter echoing changes to /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features has
the nasty effect of effectively changing what sched_features reports,
but without actually changing the scheduler behaviour (since different
translation units get different sysctl_sched_features).
Fix CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=y and !CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL configurations by properly
restructuring ifdefs.

For all commands except FUTEX_WAIT, the timeout is interpreted as an
absolute value. This absolute value is inside the task's time namespace and
has to be converted to the host's time.

perf_event.h has macros that define the field offsets in the
data_src bitmask in perf records. The SNOOPX and REMOTE offsets
were both 37. These are distinct fields, and the bitfield layout
in perf_mem_data_src confirms that SNOOPX should be at offset 38.

In the following commit:
04f5c362ec6d: ("sched/fair: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array")
a zero-length array cpumask[0] has been replaced with cpumask[].
But there is still a cpumask[0] in 'struct sched_group_capacity'
which was missed.
The point of using [] instead of [0] is that with [] the compiler will
generate a build warning if it isn't the last member of a struct.

Pull more Kunit updates from Shuah Khan:
- add Kunit to kernel_init() and remove KUnit from init calls entirely.
This addresses the concern that Kunit would not work correctly during
late init phase.
- add a linker section where KUnit can put references to its test
suites.
This is the first step in transitioning to dispatching all KUnit
tests from a centralized executor rather than having each as its own
separate late_initcall.
- add a centralized executor to dispatch tests rather than relying on
late_initcall to schedule each test suite separately. Centralized
execution is for built-in tests only; modules will execute tests when
loaded.
- convert bitfield test to use KUnit framework
- Documentation updates for naming guidelines and how
kunit_test_suite() works.
- add test plan to KUnit TAP format
