Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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 timer fix from Thomas Gleixner:
"A single fix to make the cs5535 clock event driver robust agaist
spurious interrupts"
* 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
clockevents/drivers/cs5535: Improve resilience to spurious interrupts
Pull smp/hotplug fix from Thomas Gleixner:
"The recent rework of the callback invocation missed to cleanup the
leftovers of the operation, so under certain circumstances a
subsequent CPU hotplug operation accesses stale data and crashes.
Clean it up."
* 'smp-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
cpu/hotplug: Reset node state after operation
The interrupt handler mfgpt_tick() is not robust versus spurious interrupts
which happen before the clock event device is registered and fully
initialized.
The reason is that the safe guard against spurious interrupts solely checks
for the clockevents shutdown state, but lacks a check for detached
state. If the interrupt hits while the device is in detached state it
passes the safe guard and dereferences the event handler call back which is
NULL.
Add the missing state check.

Pull perf fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A series of fixes for perf tooling:
- Make xyarray return the X/Y size correctly which fixes a crash in
the exit code.
- Fix the libc path in test so it works not only on Debian/Ubuntu
correctly
- Check for eBPF file existance and output a useful error message
instead of failing to compile a non existant file
- Make sure perf_hpp_fmt is not longer references before freeing it
- Use list_del_init() in the histogram code to prevent a crash when
the already deleted element is deleted again
- Remove the leftovers of the removed '-l' option
- Add reviewer entries to the MAINTAINERS file"
* 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
perf test shell trace+probe_libc_inet_pton.sh: Be compatible with Debian/Ubuntu
perf xyarray: Fix wrong processing when closing evsel fd
perf buildid-list: Fix crash when processing PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACE
perf record: Fix documentation for a inexistent option '-l'
perf tools: Add long time reviewers to MAINTAINERS
perf tools: Check wether the eBPF file exists in event parsing
perf hists: Add extra integrity checks to fmt_free()
perf hists: Fix crash in perf_hpp__reset_output_field()
The recent rework of the cpu hotplug internals changed the usage of the per
cpu state->node field, but missed to clean it up after usage.
So subsequent hotplug operations use the stale pointer from a previous
operation and hand it into the callback functions. The callbacks then
dereference a pointer which either belongs to a different facility or
points to freed and potentially reused memory. In either case data
corruption and crashes are the obvious consequence.
Reset the node and the last pointers in the per cpu state to NULL after the
operation which set them has completed.

and parsing the VCPU table size correctly"

Pull char/misc driver fixes from Greg KH:
"Here are 4 patches to resolve some char/misc driver issues found these
past weeks.
One of them is a mei bugfix and another is a new mei device id. There
is also a hyper-v fix for a reported issue, and a binder issue fix for
a problem reported by a few people.
All of these have been in my tree for a while, I don't know if
linux-next is really testing much this month. But 0-day is happy with
them :)"

In debian/ubuntu, libc.so is located at a different place,
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.23.so, so it outputs like this when testing:
PING ::1(::1) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from ::1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.040 ms

1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms

Fix up the libc path to make sure this test works in more OSes.
Committer testing:
When this test fails one can use 'perf test -v', i.e. in verbose mode, where
it'll show the expected backtrace, so, after applying this test:
On Fedora 26:
