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.

Remove trace_cpu_idle() from the arch_cpu_idle() implementations and
put it in the generic code, right before disabling RCU. Gets rid of
more trace_*_rcuidle() users.

Lots of things take locks, due to a wee bug, rcu_lockdep didn't notice
that the locking tracepoints were using RCU.
Push rcu_idle_{enter,exit}() as deep as possible into the idle paths,
this also resolves a lot of _rcuidle()/RCU_NONIDLE() usage.
Specifically, sched_clock_idle_wakeup_event() will use ktime which
will use seqlocks which will tickle lockdep, and
stop_critical_timings() uses lock.

Sven reported that commit a21ee6055c30 ("lockdep: Change
hardirq{s_enabled,_context} to per-cpu variables") caused trouble on
s390 because their this_cpu_*() primitives disable preemption which
then lands back tracing.
On the one hand, per-cpu ops should use preempt_*able_notrace() and
raw_local_irq_*(), on the other hand, we can trivialy use raw_cpu_*()
ops for this.
Fixes: a21ee6055c30 ("lockdep: Change hardirq{s_enabled,_context} to per-cpu variables")

Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:
- Add perf support for emitting extended registers for power10.
- A fix for CPU hotplug on pseries, where on large/loaded systems we
may not wait long enough for the CPU to be offlined, leading to
crashes.
- Addition of a raw cputable entry for Power10, which is not required
to boot, but is required to make our PMU setup work correctly in
guests.
- Three fixes for the recent changes on 32-bit Book3S to move modules
into their own segment for strict RWX.
- A fix for a recent change in our powernv PCI code that could lead to
crashes.
- A change to our perf interrupt accounting to avoid soft lockups when
using some events, found by syzkaller.
- A change in the way we handle power loss events from the hypervisor
on pseries. We no longer immediately shut down if we're told we're
running on a UPS.
- A few other minor fixes.

Pull x86 fix from Thomas Gleixner:
"A single fix for x86 which removes the RDPID usage from the paranoid
entry path and unconditionally uses LSL to retrieve the CPU number.
RDPID depends on MSR_TSX_AUX. KVM has an optmization to avoid
expensive MRS read/writes on VMENTER/EXIT. It caches the MSR values
and restores them either when leaving the run loop, on preemption or
when going out to user space. MSR_TSX_AUX is part of that lazy MSR
set, so after writing the guest value and before the lazy restore any
exception using the paranoid entry will read the guest value and use
it as CPU number to retrieve the GSBASE value for the current CPU when
FSGSBASE is enabled. As RDPID is only used in that particular entry
path, there is no reason to burden VMENTER/EXIT with two extra MSR
writes. Remove the RDPID optimization, which is not even backed by
numbers from the paranoid entry path instead"
