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 more SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
"This is a set of minor fixes and clean ups in the core and various
drivers.
The only core change in behaviour is the I/O retry for spinup notify,
but that shouldn't impact anything other than the failing case"
* tag 'scsi-misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi: (23 commits)

Pull more perf tool updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
"New features:
- Enable use of BPF counters with 'perf stat --for-each-cgroup',
using per-CPU 'cgroup-switch' events with an attached BPF program
that does aggregation per-cgroup in the kernel instead of using
per-cgroup perf events.
- Add Topdown metrics L2 events as default events in 'perf stat' for
systems having those events.
Hardware tracing:
- Add a config for max loops without consuming a packet in the Intel
PT packet decoder, set via 'perf config intel-pt.max-loops=N'
Hardware enablement:
- Disable misleading NMI watchdog message in 'perf stat' on hybrid
systems such as Intel Alder Lake.
- Add a dummy event on hybrid systems to collect metadata records.
- Add 24x7 nest metric events for the Power10 platform.
Fixes:
- Fix event parsing for PMUs starting with the same prefix.
- Fix the 'perf trace' 'trace' alias installation dir.
- Fix buffer size to report iregs in perf script python scripts,
supporting the extended registers in PowerPC.
- Fix overflow in elf_sec__is_text().
- Fix 's' on source line when disasm is empty in the annotation TUI,
accessible via 'perf annotate', 'perf report' and 'perf top'.
- Plug leaks in scandir() returned dirent entries in 'perf test' when
sorting the shell tests.
- Fix --task and --stat with pipe input in 'perf report'.
- Fix 'perf probe' use of debuginfo files by build id.
- If a DSO has both dynsym and symtab ELF sections, read from both
when loading the symbol table, fixing a problem processing Fedora
32 glibc DSOs.
Libraries:
- Add grouping of events to libperf, from code in tools/perf,
allowing libperf users to use that mode.
Misc:
- Filter plt stubs from the 'perf probe --functions' output.
- Update UAPI header copies for asound, DRM, mman-common.h and the
ones affected by the quotactl_fd syscall"
* tag 'perf-tools-for-v5.14-2021-07-10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux: (29 commits)
perf test: Add free() calls for scandir() returned dirent entries
libperf: Add tests for perf_evlist__set_leader()
libperf: Remove BUG_ON() from library code in get_group_fd()
libperf: Add group support to perf_evsel__open()
perf tools: Fix pattern matching for same substring in different PMU type
perf record: Add a dummy event on hybrid systems to collect metadata records
perf stat: Add Topdown metrics L2 events as default events
libperf: Adopt evlist__set_leader() from tools/perf as perf_evlist__set_leader()
libperf: Move 'nr_groups' from tools/perf to evlist::nr_groups
libperf: Move 'leader' from tools/perf to perf_evsel::leader
libperf: Move 'idx' from tools/perf to perf_evsel::idx
libperf: Change tests to single static and shared binaries
perf intel-pt: Add a config for max loops without consuming a packet
perf stat: Disable the NMI watchdog message on hybrid
perf vendor events power10: Adds 24x7 nest metric events for power10 platform
perf script python: Fix buffer size to report iregs in perf script
perf trace: Fix the perf trace link location
perf top: Fix overflow in elf_sec__is_text()
perf annotate: Fix 's' on source line when disasm is empty
perf probe: Do not show @plt function by default
...
This ensures that the residual bytes in response (might come from an
untrusted device) will not exceed the data buffer length.

Commit dbbee9d5cd83 ("mm/page_alloc: convert per-cpu list protection to

deal with zero-sized percpu structures.
A superior workaround is achieved with commit a0b8200d06ad ("kbuild:
skip per-CPU BTF generation for pahole v1.18-v1.21").
This patch reverts the dummy field and the pahole version check.

the periodic NOTIFY (ENABLE SPINUP) SAS primitive, and for the device to
respond to the primitive to become ACTIVE. Retry the I/O request to allow

commit 03623b4b041c ("rtc: pcf2127: add tamper detection support")
added support for timestamp interrupts. However they are not being
handled in the irq handler. If a timestamp interrupt occurs it
results in kernel disabling the interrupt and displaying the call
trace:
[ 121.145580] irq 78: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)
...
[ 121.238087] [<00000000c4d69393>] irq_default_primary_handler threaded [<000000000a90d25b>] pcf2127_rtc_irq [rtc_pcf2127]
[ 121.248971] Disabling IRQ #78
Handle timestamp interrupts in pcf2127_rtc_irq(). Save time stamp
before clearing TSF1 and TSF2 flags so that it can't be overwritten.
Set a flag to mark if the timestamp is valid and only report to sysfs
if the flag is set. To mimic the hardware behavior, don’t save
another timestamp until the first one has been read by the userspace.
However, if the alarm irq is not configured, keep the old way of
handling timestamp interrupt in the timestamp0 sysfs calls.
