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.

interconnect fixes for v6.13-rc
This contains two fixes. One fixing a boot error on db410c board when UBSAN
is enabled with clang-19 builds. The other one adds a missing return value
check after devm_kasprintf.

instead of BAR mask. This fixes a regression for Qualcomm MHI modems.

IIO: 1st set of fixes for 6.13 cycle.
The usual mixed back of fixes for ancient and recent bugs
A number of these were from an audit by Javier Carrasco of places
we may leak stack data via holes in structures passed to userspace that
were not explicitly zeroed. Very helpful effort after we found a similar
bug in review of new code.
This affected:
- dummy driver
- kionix,kmx61
- murrata,zpa2326
- rockchip,saradc
- rohm,bh1745
- veml,vcnl4035
- ti,ads1119
- ti,ads8688
- ti,tmp0006
Other fixes:
core,inkern
- Underflow fo reference count issue in error path of iio_channel_get_all()
for devices we haven't yet gotten.
tests
- Kconfig typo fix so it's possible to tell what test is being enabled.
- Check for allocation failures.
adi,ad4695
- Ensure timing requirement wrt to final clock edge vs next conversion
signal are met by adding an additional SPI transfer.
adi,ad7124
- Ensure channels are disabled at probe to avoid wrong data if channel 0
is not the first one read.
adi,ad7173
- Fix handing of multiple devices by not editing a single static
structure and instead making a per instance copy.
adi,ad9467
- Fix handing of multiple devices by not editing a single static
structure and instead making a per instance copy.
adi,ad9832
- Off by one error on input verification for phase control
adi,ad9834
- Off by one error on input verification for phase control.
atmel,at91
- In an error path don't use a variable that hasn't been initialized yet.
invensense,icm42600
- SPI burst write does not work for some icm426000 chips, disable it.
- Ensure correct handling of timestamps after resume.
st,sensors
- Add back accidentally dropped IIS2MDC compatible in binding doc.
st,stm32-dfsdm:
- label property was accidentally made a required property. Make it optional
again to fix use of older DT.
ti,ads1119
- Use a fixed size for the channel data rather than an integer, bringing
the code inline with the advertised 16 bit channel size and avoiding
userspace misinterpreting the data.
ti,ads124s08
- Use _cansleep gpio calls as no reason to prevent sleeping and it
was stopping a new board design working (trivial fix).
ti,ads1298
- Add a check on failure of devm_kasprintf()

A recent change converting the MHI pci_generic driver to use
pcim_iomap_region() failed to update the BAR parameter which is an index
rather than a mask.
This specifically broke the modem on machines like the Lenovo ThinkPad
X13s and x1e80100 CRD:
mhi-pci-generic 0004:01:00.0: failed to map pci region: -22

The following UBSAN error is reported during boot on the db410c board on
a clang-19 build:
Internal error: UBSAN: array index out of bounds: 00000000f2005512 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
...
pc : qnoc_probe+0x5f8/0x5fc
...
The cause of the error is that the counter member was not set before
accessing the annotated flexible array member, but after that. Fix this
by initializing it earlier.

This device returns signed, 16-bit samples as stated in its datasheet
(see 8.5.2 Data Format). That is in line with the scan_type definition
for the IIO_VOLTAGE channel, but 'unsigned int' is being used to read
and push the data to userspace.
Given that the size of that type depends on the architecture (at least
2 bytes to store values up to 65535, but its actual size is often 4
bytes), use the 's16' type to provide the same structure in all cases.

The 'scan' local struct is used to push data to user space from a
triggered buffer, but it has a hole between the two 16-bit data channels
and the timestamp. This hole is never initialized.
Initialize the struct to zero before using it to avoid pushing
uninitialized information to userspace.

Pull i2c component probing support from Wolfram Sang:
"Add OF component probing.
Some devices are designed and manufactured with some components having
multiple drop-in replacement options. These components are often
connected to the mainboard via ribbon cables, having the same signals
and pin assignments across all options. These may include the display
panel and touchscreen on laptops and tablets, and the trackpad on
laptops. Sometimes which component option is used in a particular
device can be detected by some firmware provided identifier, other
times that information is not available, and the kernel has to try to
probe each device.
Instead of a delicate dance between drivers and device tree quirks,
this change introduces a simple I2C component probe function. For a
given class of devices on the same I2C bus, it will go through all of
them, doing a simple I2C read transfer and see which one of them
responds. It will then enable the device that responds"

ARC GCC compiler is packaged starting from Fedora 39i and the GCC
variant of cross compile tools has arc-linux-gnu- prefix and not

if distro package is used.

Pull bprintf() removal from Steven Rostedt:
- Remove unused bprintf() function, that was added with the rest of the
"bin-printf" functions.
These are functions that are used by trace_printk() that allows to
quickly save the format and arguments into the ring buffer without
the expensive processing of converting numbers to ASCII. Then on
output, at a much later time, the ring buffer is read and the string
processing occurs then. The bprintf() was added for consistency but
was never used. It can be safely removed.
