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.

drm/panel: Select DRM_DP_HELPER for DRM_PANEL_EDP
This bug happened on hybrid systems when both cpu_core and cpu_atom
have the same event name such as "UOPS_RETIRED.MS" while their event
terms are different, then during perf stat, the event for cpu_atom
will parse fail and then no output for cpu_atom.
UOPS_RETIRED.MS -> cpu_core/period=0x1e8483,umask=0x4,event=0xc2,frontend=0x8/
UOPS_RETIRED.MS -> cpu_atom/period=0x1e8483,umask=0x1,event=0xc2/
It is because event terms in the "head" of parse_events_multi_pmu_add
will be changed to event terms for cpu_core after parsing UOPS_RETIRED.MS
for cpu_core, then when parsing the same event for cpu_atom, it still
uses the event terms for cpu_core, but event terms for cpu_atom are
different with cpu_core, the event parses for cpu_atom will fail. This
patch fixes it, the event terms should be parsed from the original
event.
This patch can work for the hybrid systems that have the same event
in more than 2 PMUs. It also can work in non-hybrid systems.

When CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU_VULNERABILITIES is not set, references
to spectre_v2_update_state() cause a build error, so provide an
empty stub for that function when the Kconfig option is not set.

Pull RISC-V fixes from Palmer Dabbelt:
- prevent users from enabling the alternatives framework (and thus
errata handling) on XIP kernels, where runtime code patching does not
function correctly.
- properly detect offset overflow for AUIPC-based relocations in
modules. This may manifest as modules calling arbitrary invalid
addresses, depending on the address allocated when a module is
loaded.

* tag 'powerpc-5.17-6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux:
powerpc: Fix STACKTRACE=n build
RISC-V can do PC-relative jumps with a 32bit range using the following
two instructions:
auipc t0, imm20 ; t0 = PC + imm20 * 2^12
jalr ra, t0, imm12 ; ra = PC + 4, PC = t0 + imm12
Crucially both the 20bit immediate imm20 and the 12bit immediate imm12
are treated as two's-complement signed values. For this reason the
immediates are usually calculated like this:
imm20 = (offset + 0x800) >> 12
imm12 = offset & 0xfff
..where offset is the signed offset from the auipc instruction. When
the 11th bit of offset is 0 the addition of 0x800 doesn't change the top
20 bits and imm12 considered positive. When the 11th bit is 1 the carry
of the addition by 0x800 means imm20 is one higher, but since imm12 is
then considered negative the two's complement representation means it
all cancels out nicely.
However, this addition by 0x800 (2^11) means an offset greater than or
equal to 2^31 - 2^11 would overflow so imm20 is considered negative and
result in a backwards jump. Similarly the lower range of offset is also
moved down by 2^11 and hence the true 32bit range is
[-2^31 - 2^11, 2^31 - 2^11)

Currently we are observing occasional screen flickering when
PSR2 selective fetch is enabled. More specifically glitch seems
to happen on full frame update when cursor moves to coords
x = -1 or y = -1.
According to Bspec SF Single full frame should not be set if
SF Partial Frame Enable is not set. This happened to be true for
ADLP as PSR2_MAN_TRK_CTL_ENABLE is always set and for ADL_P it's
actually "SF Partial Frame Enable" (Bit 31).
Setting "SF Partial Frame Enable" bit also on full update seems to
fix screen flickering.
Also make code more clear by setting PSR2_MAN_TRK_CTL_ENABLE
only if not on ADL_P. Bit 31 has different meaning in ADL_P.
