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.

The released OCR and FRONTEND events utilized more bits on Lunar Lake
p-core. The corresponding mask in the extra_regs has to be extended to
unblock the extra bits.
Add a dedicated intel_lnc_extra_regs.

The only difference between 5 and 6 is the new counters snapshotting
group, without the following counters snapshotting enabling patches,
it's impossible to utilize the feature in a PEBS record. It's safe to
share the same code path with format 5.
Add format 6, so the end user can at least utilize the legacy PEBS
features.

From the perspective of the uncore PMU, the Clearwater Forest is the
same as the previous Sierra Forest. The only difference is the event
list, which will be supported in the perf tool later.

ARC GCC compiler is packaged starting from Fedora 39i and the GCC
variant of cross compile tools has arc-linux-gnu- prefix and not
arc-linux-. This is causing that CROSS_COMPILE variable is left unset.
This change allows builds without need to supply CROSS_COMPILE argument
if distro package is used.

The original code checks 'if (ARC_CC_AL)', which is always true since
ARC_CC_AL is a constant. This makes the check redundant and likely
obscures the intention of verifying whether the jump is conditional.
Updates the code to check cond == ARC_CC_AL instead, reflecting the intent
to differentiate conditional from unconditional jumps.

Pull EDAC fix from Borislav Petkov:

configurations

EDAC/amd64: Simplify ECC check on unified memory controllers

- Replaced jiffies with msec for timeout calculations.
- Added a sentinel to the 'of_device_id' array in Nomadik.
- Rounded up bus period calculation in RIIC.
When looking up a non-existent file, efivarfs returns -EINVAL if the
file does not conform to the NAME-GUID format and -ENOENT if it does.
This is caused by efivars_d_hash() returning -EINVAL if the name is not
formatted correctly. This error is returned before simple_lookup()
returns a negative dentry, and is the error value that the user sees.
Fix by removing this check. If the file does not exist, simple_lookup()
will return a negative dentry leading to -ENOENT and efivarfs_create()
already has a validity check before it creates an entry (and will
correctly return -EINVAL)

snps,dw-apb-gpio-port is deprecated since commit ef42a8da3cf3
("dt-bindings: gpio: dwapb: Add ngpios property support"). The
respective driver supports this since commit 7569486d79ae ("gpio: dwapb:
Add ngpios DT-property support") which is included in Linux v5.10-rc1.

Pull irq fixes from Borislav Petkov:
- Disable the secure programming interface of the GIC500 chip in the
RK3399 SoC to fix interrupt priority assignment and even make a dead
machine boot again when the gic-v3 driver enables pseudo NMIs
- Correct the declaration of a percpu variable to fix several sparse
warnings

The intent of the check is to see whether at least one UMC has ECC
enabled. So do that instead of tracking which ones are enabled in masks
which are too small in size anyway and lead to not loading the driver on
Zen4 machines with UMCs enabled over UMC8.
