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.

Driver was not disabling TXRDY interrupt after last TX byte.
This caused interrupt storm until transfer timeouts for slow
or broken device on the bus. The patch fixes the interrupt storm
on my SAMA5D2-based board.

Use SMBUS_MASTER_DATA_READ.MASTER_RD_STATUS bit to check for RX
FIFO empty condition because SMBUS_MASTER_FIFO_CONTROL.MASTER_RX_PKT_COUNT
is not updated for read >= 64 bytes. This fixes the issue when trying to
read from the I2C slave more than 63 bytes.

Pull structleak fix from Kees Cook:
"Disable gcc-based stack variable auto-init under KASAN (Arnd
Bergmann).
This fixes a bunch of build warnings under KASAN and the
gcc-plugin-based stack auto-initialization features (which are
arguably redundant, so better to let KASAN control this)"

structleak: disable STRUCTLEAK_BYREF in combination with KASAN_STACK
Pull Kbuild fixes from Masahiro Yamada:
- add compile_commands.json to .gitignore
- fix false-positive warning from gen_compile_commands.py after
allnoconfig build

The combination of KASAN_STACK and GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_BYREF
leads to much larger kernel stack usage, as seen from the warnings
about functions that now exceed the 2048 byte limit:

The structleak plugin was previously disabled for CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST,
but meant we missed some bugs, so this time we should address them.
The frame size warnings are distracting, and risking a kernel stack
overflow is generally not beneficial to performance, so it may be best
to disallow that particular combination. This can be done by turning
off either one. I picked the dependency in GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_BYREF
and GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_BYREF_ALL, as this option is designed to
make uninitialized stack usage less harmful when enabled on its own,
but it also prevents KASAN from detecting those cases in which it was
in fact needed.
KASAN_STACK is currently implied by KASAN on gcc, but could be made a
user selectable option if we want to allow combining (non-stack) KASAN
with GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_BYREF.
Note that it would be possible to specifically address the files that
print the warning, but presumably the overall stack usage is still
significantly higher than in other configurations, so this would not
address the full problem.
I could not test this with CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL, which may or may not
suffer from a similar problem.
