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.

platform_irqchip_probe() leaks a OF node when irq_init_cb() fails. Fix it
by declaring par_np with the __free(device_node) cleanup construct.
This bug was found by an experimental static analysis tool that I am
developing.

Some boards with Allwinner SoCs connect the PMIC's IRQ pin to the SoC's NMI
pin instead of a normal GPIO. Since the power key is connected to the PMIC,
and people expect to wake up a suspended system via this key, the NMI IRQ
controller must stay alive when the system goes into suspend.
Add the SKIP_WAKE flag to prevent the sunxi NMI controller from going to
sleep, so that the power key can wake up those systems.

The following call-chain leads to enabling interrupts in a nested interrupt
disabled section:
irq_set_vcpu_affinity()
irq_get_desc_lock()
raw_spin_lock_irqsave() <--- Disable interrupts
its_irq_set_vcpu_affinity()
guard(raw_spinlock_irq) <--- Enables interrupts when leaving the guard()
irq_put_desc_unlock() <--- Warns because interrupts are enabled
This was broken in commit b97e8a2f7130, which replaced the original
raw_spin_[un]lock() pair with guard(raw_spinlock_irq).
Fix the issue by using guard(raw_spinlock).

When a CPU attempts to enter low power mode, it disables the redistributor
and Group 1 interrupts and reinitializes the system registers upon wakeup.
If the transition into low power mode fails, then the CPU_PM framework
invokes the PM notifier callback with CPU_PM_ENTER_FAILED to allow the
drivers to undo the state changes.
The GIC V3 driver ignores CPU_PM_ENTER_FAILED, which leaves the GIC in
disabled state.
Handle CPU_PM_ENTER_FAILED in the same way as CPU_PM_EXIT to restore normal
operation.

Driver returns -EOPNOTSUPPORTED on unsupported parameters case in set

In the previous commit referenced below, I had to split
the short fops handling into different proxy fops. This
necessitated knowing out-of-band whether or not the ops
are short or full, when attempting to convert from fops
to allocated fsdata.
Unfortunately, I only converted full_proxy_open() which
is used for the new full_proxy_open_regular() and
full_proxy_open_short(), but forgot about the call in
open_proxy_open(), used for debugfs_create_file_unsafe().
Fix that, it never has short fops.

The mite.c file was originally copied from the COMEDI code, and now that
it is in the kernel tree, along with the comedi code, on some build
configurations there are errors due to duplicate symbols (specifically
mite_dma_disarm).
Remove all of the unused functions in the gpib mite.c and .h files as
they aren't needed and cause the compiler to be confused.
