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 irq fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of fixes/updates for the interrupt subsystem:
- Remove setup_irq() and remove_irq(). All users have been converted
so remove them before new users surface.
- A set of bugfixes for various interrupt chip drivers
- Add a few missing static attributes to address sparse warnings"

Pull scheduler fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Two fixes for the scheduler:
- Work around an uninitialized variable warning where GCC can't
figure it out.
- Allow 'isolcpus=' to skip unknown subparameters so that older
kernels work with the commandline of a newer kernel. Improve the
error output while at it"

Pull irqchip fixes from Marc Zyngier:
- Fix the mbigen driver to properly free its MSI descriptors on teardown
- Fix the TI INTA driver to avoid handling spurious interrupts from masked interrupts
- Fix the SiFive PLIC driver to use the correct interrupt priority mask
- Fix the Amlogic Meson gpio driver creative locking
- Fix the GICv4.1 virtual SGI set_affinity callback to update the effective affinity
- Allow the GICv4.x driver to synchronize with the HW pending table parsing
- Fix a couple of missing static attributes
Pull RCU fix from Thomas Gleixner:
"A single bugfix for RCU to prevent taking a lock in NMI context"
* tag 'core-urgent-2020-04-19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
rcu: Don't acquire lock in NMI handler in rcu_nmi_enter_common()
Work around this warning:
kernel/sched/cputime.c: In function ‘kcpustat_field’:
kernel/sched/cputime.c:1007:6: warning: ‘val’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
because GCC can't see that val is used only when err is 0.

Now that all the users of setup_irq() & remove_irq() have been replaced by
request_irq() & free_irq() respectively, delete them.

The "isolcpus=" parameter allows sub-parameters before the cpulist is
specified, and if the parser detects an unknown sub-parameters the whole
parameter will be ignored.
This design is incompatible with itself when new sub-parameters are added.
An older kernel will not recognize the new sub-parameter and will
invalidate the whole parameter so the CPU isolation will not take
effect. It emits a warning:
isolcpus: Error, unknown flag
The better and compatible way is to allow "isolcpus=" to skip unknown
sub-parameters, so that even if new sub-parameters are added an older
kernel will still be able to behave as usual even if with the new
sub-parameter specified on the command line.
Ideally this should have been there when the first sub-parameter for
"isolcpus=" was introduced.

Although the vSGIs are not directly visible to the host, they still
get moved around by the CPU hotplug, for example. This results in
the kernel moaning on the console, such as:
genirq: irq_chip GICv4.1-sgi did not update eff. affinity mask of irq 38
Updating the effective affinity on set_affinity() fixes it.
