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 reStructuredText 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.

clk: renesas: mstp: Add genpd OF provider at postcore_initcall()
When dual-divider clock support was introduced, the P divider offset was
left out of the .recalc_rate readback function. This causes the clock
rate to become bogus or even zero (possibly due to the P divider being
1, leading to a divide-by-zero).
Fix this by incorporating the P divider offset into the calculation.

Genpd OF providers must now be registered after genpd bus registration.
However, cpg_mstp_add_clk_domain() is only called from CLK_OF_DECLARE(),
which is too early. Hence on R-Car M1A, R-Car H1, and RZ/A1, the
CPG/MSTP Clock Domain fails to register, and any devices residing in
that clock domain fail to probe.
Fix this by splitting initialization into two steps:
- The first part keeps on registering the PM domain with genpd at
CLK_OF_DECLARE(),
- The second and new part moves the registration of the genpd OF
provider to a postcore_initcall().
See also commit c5ae5a0c61120d0c ("pmdomain: renesas: rcar-sysc: Add
genpd OF provider at postcore_initcall").
Fixes: 18a3a510ecfd0e50 ("pmdomain: core: Add the genpd->dev to the genpd provider bus")

takedown_cpu() has a comment about "all preempt/rcu users must observe
!cpu_active()" which is kind of meaningless in this function. This
comment was originally introduced by commit 6acce3ef8452 ("sched: Remove
get_online_cpus() usage") when _cpu_down() was setting cpu_active_mask
and synchronize_rcu()/synchronize_sched() were added after that.
Later commit 40190a78f85f ("sched/hotplug: Convert cpu_[in]active
notifiers to state machine") added a new CPUHP_AP_ACTIVE hotplug
state to set/clear cpu_active_mask. The following commit b2454caa8977
("sched/hotplug: Move sync_rcu to be with set_cpu_active(false)")
move the synchronize_*() calls to sched_cpu_deactivate() associated
with the new hotplug state, but left the comment behind.
Remove this comment as it is no longer relevant in takedown_cpu().
