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.

Since insn.prefixes.nbytes can be bigger than the size of
insn.prefixes.bytes[] when a prefix is repeated, the proper
check must be:
insn.prefixes.bytes[i] != 0 and i < 4
instead of using insn.prefixes.nbytes. Use the new
for_each_insn_prefix() macro which does it correctly.

When the AMD QoS feature CDP (code and data prioritization) is enabled
or disabled, the CDP bit in MSR 0000_0C81 is written on one of the CPUs
in an L3 domain (core complex). That is not correct - the CDP bit needs
to be updated on all the logical CPUs in the domain.
This was not spelled out clearly in the spec earlier. The specification
has been updated and the updated document, "AMD64 Technology Platform
Quality of Service Extensions Publication # 56375 Revision: 1.02 Issue
Date: October 2020" is available now. Refer the section: Code and Data
Prioritization.
Fix the issue by adding a new flag arch_has_per_cpu_cfg in rdt_cache
data structure.

Currently, if mce_end() fails, no_way_out - the variable denoting
whether the machine can recover from this MCE - is determined by whether
the worst severity that was found across the MCA banks associated with
the current CPU, is of panic severity.
However, at this point no_way_out could have been already set by
mca_start() after looking at all severities of all CPUs that entered the
MCE handler. If mce_end() fails, check first if no_way_out is already
set and, if so, stick to it, otherwise use the local worst value.

When spectre_v2_user={seccomp,prctl},ibpb is specified on the command
line, IBPB is force-enabled and STIPB is conditionally-enabled (or not
available).
However, since
21998a351512 ("x86/speculation: Avoid force-disabling IBPB based on STIBP and enhanced IBRS.")
the spectre_v2_user_ibpb variable is set to SPECTRE_V2_USER_{PRCTL,SECCOMP}
instead of SPECTRE_V2_USER_STRICT, which is the actual behaviour.
Because the issuing of IBPB relies on the switch_mm_*_ibpb static
branches, the mitigations behave as expected.
Since
1978b3a53a74 ("x86/speculation: Allow IBPB to be conditionally enabled on CPUs with always-on STIBP")
this discrepency caused the misreporting of IB speculation via prctl().
On CPUs with STIBP always-on and spectre_v2_user=seccomp,ibpb,
prctl(PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL) would return PR_SPEC_PRCTL |
PR_SPEC_ENABLE instead of PR_SPEC_DISABLE since both IBPB and STIPB are
always on. It also allowed prctl(PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL) to set the IB
speculation mode, even though the flag is ignored.
Similarly, for CPUs without SMT, prctl(PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL) should
also return PR_SPEC_DISABLE since IBPB is always on and STIBP is not
available.

On resource group creation via a mkdir an extra kernfs_node reference is
obtained by kernfs_get() to ensure that the rdtgroup structure remains
accessible for the rdtgroup_kn_unlock() calls where it is removed on
deletion. Currently the extra kernfs_node reference count is only
dropped by kernfs_put() in rdtgroup_kn_unlock() while the rdtgroup
structure is removed in a few other locations that lack the matching
reference drop.
In call paths of rmdir and umount, when a control group is removed,
kernfs_remove() is called to remove the whole kernfs nodes tree of the
control group (including the kernfs nodes trees of all child monitoring
groups), and then rdtgroup structure is freed by kfree(). The rdtgroup
structures of all child monitoring groups under the control group are
freed by kfree() in free_all_child_rdtgrp().
Before calling kfree() to free the rdtgroup structures, the kernfs node
of the control group itself as well as the kernfs nodes of all child
monitoring groups still take the extra references which will never be
dropped to 0 and the kernfs nodes will never be freed. It leads to
reference count leak and kernfs_node_cache memory leak.
For example, reference count leak is observed in these two cases:
(1) mount -t resctrl resctrl /sys/fs/resctrl
mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1
mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1/mon_groups/m1
umount /sys/fs/resctrl
(2) mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1
mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1/mon_groups/m1
rmdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1
The same reference count leak issue also exists in the error exit paths
of mkdir in mkdir_rdt_prepare() and rdtgroup_mkdir_ctrl_mon().
Fix this issue by following changes to make sure the extra kernfs_node
reference on rdtgroup is dropped before freeing the rdtgroup structure.
(1) Introduce rdtgroup removal helper rdtgroup_remove() to wrap up
kernfs_put() and kfree().
(2) Call rdtgroup_remove() in rdtgroup removal path where the rdtgroup
structure is about to be freed by kfree().
(3) Call rdtgroup_remove() or kernfs_put() as appropriate in the error
exit paths of mkdir where an extra reference is taken by kernfs_get().

Willem reported growing of kernfs_node_cache entries in slabtop when
repeatedly creating and removing resctrl subdirectories as well as when
repeatedly mounting and unmounting the resctrl filesystem.
On resource group (control as well as monitoring) creation via a mkdir
an extra kernfs_node reference is obtained to ensure that the rdtgroup
structure remains accessible for the rdtgroup_kn_unlock() calls where it
is removed on deletion. The kernfs_node reference count is dropped by
kernfs_put() in rdtgroup_kn_unlock().
With the above explaining the need for one kernfs_get()/kernfs_put()
pair in resctrl there are more places where a kernfs_node reference is
obtained without a corresponding release. The excessive amount of
reference count on kernfs nodes will never be dropped to 0 and the
kernfs nodes will never be freed in the call paths of rmdir and umount.
It leads to reference count leak and kernfs_node_cache memory leak.
Remove the superfluous kernfs_get() calls and expand the existing
comments surrounding the remaining kernfs_get()/kernfs_put() pair that
remains in use.
Superfluous kernfs_get() calls are removed from two areas:
(1) In call paths of mount and mkdir, when kernfs nodes for "info",
"mon_groups" and "mon_data" directories and sub-directories are
created, the reference count of newly created kernfs node is set to 1.
But after kernfs_create_dir() returns, superfluous kernfs_get() are
called to take an additional reference.
(2) kernfs_get() calls in rmdir call paths.

"A couple of scheduler fixes:
- Make the conditional update of the overutilized state work
correctly by caching the relevant flags state before overwriting
them and checking them afterwards.
- Fix a data race in the wakeup path which caused loadavg on ARM64
platforms to become a random number generator.
- Fix the ordering of the iowaiter accounting operations so it can't
be decremented before it is incremented.
- Fix a bug in the deadline scheduler vs. priority inheritance when a
non-deadline task A has inherited the parameters of a deadline task
B and then blocks on a non-deadline task C.
The second inheritance step used the static deadline parameters of
task A, which are usually 0, instead of further propagating task
B's parameters. The zero initialized parameters trigger a bug in
the deadline scheduler"

Some users are pairing the Dinovo keyboards with the MX5000 or MX5500
receivers, instead of with the Dinovo receivers. The receivers are
mostly the same (and the air protocol obviously is compatible) but
currently the Dinovo receivers are handled by hid-lg.c while the
MX5x00 receivers are handled by logitech-dj.c.
When using a Dinovo keyboard, with its builtin touchpad, through
logitech-dj.c then the touchpad stops working because when asking the
receiver for paired devices, we get only 1 paired device with
a device_type of REPORT_TYPE_KEYBOARD. And since we don't see a paired
mouse, we have nowhere to send mouse-events to, so we drop them.
Extend the existing fix for the Dinovo Edge for this to also cover the
Dinovo Mini keyboard and also add a mapping to logitech-hidpp for the
Media key on the Dinovo Mini, so that that keeps working too.
