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 perf fixes from Borislav Petkov:
- Prevent the amd/power module from being removed while in use
- Mark AMD IBS as not supporting content exclusion
- Add a workaround for AMD erratum #1197 where IBS registers might not
be restored properly after exiting CC6 state
- Fix a potential truncation of a 32-bit variable due to shifting
- Read the correct bits describing the number of configurable address
ranges on Intel PT

- Fix build error on RHEL where -Werror=maybe-uninitialized is set.
- Restore the firmware's IDT when calling EFI boot services and before
ExitBootServices() has been called. This fixes a boot failure on what
appears to be a tablet with 32-bit UEFI running a 64-bit kernel.

This reverts commit 83af58f8068ea3f7b3c537c37a30887bfa585069.
It turns out that at least the assembly implementation for strncpy() was
buggy. Revert the whole commit and return back to the default coding.

The recent commit
064855a69003 ("x86/resctrl: Fix default monitoring groups reporting")
caused a RHEL build failure with an uninitialized variable warning
treated as an error because it removed the default case snippet.
The RHEL Makefile uses '-Werror=maybe-uninitialized' to force possibly
uninitialized variable warnings to be treated as errors. This is also
reported by smatch via the 0day robot.
The error from the RHEL build is:
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/resctrl/monitor.c: In function ‘__mon_event_count’:
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/resctrl/monitor.c:261:12: error: ‘m’ may be used
uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
m->chunks += chunks;
^~
The upstream Makefile does not build using '-Werror=maybe-uninitialized'.
So, the problem is not seen there. Fix the problem by putting back the
default case snippet.
[ bp: note that there's nothing wrong with the code and other compilers
do not trigger this warning - this is being done just so the RHEL compiler
is happy. ]

Commit
79419e13e808 ("x86/boot/compressed/64: Setup IDT in startup_32 boot path")
introduced an IDT into the 32-bit boot path of the decompressor stub.
But the IDT is set up before ExitBootServices() is called, and some UEFI
firmwares rely on their own IDT.
Save the firmware IDT on boot and restore it before calling into EFI
functions to fix boot failures introduced by above commit.

We found a hang, the steps to reproduce are as follows:
1. blocking device via scsi_device_set_state()
2. dd if=/dev/sda of=/mnt/t.log bs=1M count=10
3. echo none > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
4. echo "running" >/sys/block/sda/device/state
Step 3 and 4 should complete after step 4, but they hang.

The u32 variable pci_dword is being masked with 0x1fffffff and then left
shifted 23 places. The shift is a u32 operation,so a value of 0x200 or
more in pci_dword will overflow the u32 and only the bottow 32 bits
are assigned to addr. I don't believe this was the original intent.
Fix this by casting pci_dword to a resource_size_t to ensure no
overflow occurs.
Note that the mask and 12 bit left shift operation does not need this
because the mask SNR_IMC_MMIO_MEM0_MASK and shift is always a 32 bit
value.
