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 interrupt chip driver fixes:
- Fix the multi vector MSI allocation on Armada 370XP
- Do interrupt acknowledgement correctly in the aspeed-scu driver
- Make the IPR register offset correct in the NVIC driver
- Make redistribution table flushing correct by issueing a SYNC
command to ensure that the invalidation command has been executed
- Plug a device tree node reference leak in the bcm7210-l2 driver
- Trivial fixes in the MIPS GIC and the Apple AIC drivers"

Pull scheduler fix from Thomas Gleixner:
"A single fix for the x86 scheduler topology:
Using cluster topology on hybrid CPUs, e.g. Alder Lake, biases the
scheduler towards the ATOM cluster as that has more total capacity.
Use selection based on CPU priority instead"

Pull irqchip fixes from Marc Zyngier:
- Fix Armada-370-XP Multi-MSi allocation to be aligned on the allocation
size, as required by the PCI spec
- Fix aspeed-scu interrupt acknowledgement by directly writing to the
register instead of a read-modify-write sequence
- Use standard bitfirl helpers in the MIPS GIC driver instead of custom
constructs
- Fix the NVIC driver IPR register offset
- Correctly drop the reference of the device node in the irq-bcm7120-l2
driver
- Fix the GICv3 ITS INVALL command by issueing a following SYNC command
- Add a missing __init attribute to the init function of the Apple AIC
driver

Pull csky from Guo Ren:
"Only one fix for csky: fix fpu config macro"
* tag 'csky-for-linus-5.16-rc5' of git://github.com/c-sky/csky-linux:
csky: fix typo of fpu config macro
For x86 hybrid CPUs like Alder Lake, the order of CPU selection should
be based strictly on CPU priority. Don't include cluster topology for
hybrid CPUs to avoid interference with such CPU selection order.
On Alder Lake, the Atom CPU cluster has more capacity (4 Atom CPUs) vs
Big core cluster (2 hyperthread CPUs). This could potentially bias CPU
selection towards Atom over Big Core, when Big core CPU has higher
priority.

INVALL CMD specifies that the ITS must ensure any caching associated with
the interrupt collection defined by ICID is consistent with the LPI
configuration tables held in memory for all Redistributors. SYNC is
required to ensure that INVALL is executed.
Currently, LPI configuration data may be inconsistent with that in the
memory within a short period of time after the INVALL command is executed.

Pull xfs fix from Darrick Wong:
"This fixes a race between a readonly remount process and other
processes that hold a file IOLOCK on files that previously experienced
copy on write, that could result in severe filesystem corruption if
the filesystem is then remounted rw.
I think this is fairly rare (since the only reliable reproducer I have
that fits the second criteria is the experimental xfs_scrub program),
but the race is clear, so we still need to fix this.
Summary:
- Fix a data corruption vector that can result from the ro remount
process failing to clear all speculative preallocations from files
and the rw remount process not noticing the incomplete cleanup"

Commit 598a90f2002c ("scsi: qla2xxx: add ring buffer for tracing debug
logs") introduced unconditional log string formatting to ql_dbg() even if
ql_dbg_log event is disabled. It harms performance because some strings are
formatted in fastpath and/or interrupt context.
