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 drm fixes from Dave Airlie:
"A fairly urgent nouveau regression fix for broken irqs across
suspend/resume came in. This was broken before but a patch in 4.15 has
made it much more obviously broken and now s/r fails a lot more often.
The fix removes freeing the irq across s/r which never should have
been done anyways.
Also two vc4 fixes for a NULL deference and some misrendering /
flickering on screen"

After do_readv_writev, the inode cache is invalidated anyway, so i_size
will never be read. It will be fetched from the server which will also
know about updates from other machines.
Fixes deadlock on 32-bit SMP.

Since the sysfs attribute hangs off the RMI bus, which doesn't go away during
firmware flash, it needs to be explicitly removed, otherwise we would try and
register the same attribute twice.

For a while we've been having issues with seemingly random interrupts
coming from nvidia cards when resuming them. Originally the fix for this
was thought to be just re-arming the MSI interrupt registers right after
re-allocating our IRQs, however it seems a lot of what we do is both
wrong and not even nessecary.
This was made apparent by what appeared to be a regression in the
mainline kernel that started introducing suspend/resume issues for
nouveau:
a0c9259dc4e1 (irq/matrix: Spread interrupts on allocation)
After this commit was introduced, we started getting interrupts from the
GPU before we actually re-allocated our own IRQ (see references below)
and assigned the IRQ handler. Investigating this turned out that the
problem was not with the commit, but the fact that nouveau even
free/allocates it's irqs before and after suspend/resume.
For starters: drivers in the linux kernel haven't had to handle
freeing/re-allocating their IRQs during suspend/resume cycles for quite
a while now. Nouveau seems to be one of the few drivers left that still
does this, despite the fact there's no reason we actually need to since
disabling interrupts from the device side should be enough, as the
kernel is already smart enough to know to disable host-side interrupts
for us before going into suspend. Since we were tearing down our IRQs by
hand however, that means there was a short period during resume where
interrupts could be received before we re-allocated our IRQ which would
lead to us getting an unhandled IRQ. Since we never handle said IRQ and
re-arm the interrupt registers, this would cause us to miss all of the
interrupts from the GPU and cause our init process to start timing out
on anything requiring interrupts.
So, since this whole setup/teardown every suspend/resume cycle is
useless anyway, move irq setup/teardown into the pci subdev's ctor/dtor
functions instead so they're only called at driver load and driver
unload. This should fix most of the issues with pending interrupts on
resume, along with getting suspend/resume for nouveau to work again.
As well, this probably means we can also just remove the msi rearm call
inside nvkm_pci_init(). But since our main focus here is to fix
suspend/resume before 4.15, we'll save that for a later patch.

KVM: s390: add proper locking for CMMA migration bitmap
The newer trackpoints from ALPS, Elan and NXP implement a very limited
subset of extended commands and controls that the original trackpoints
implemented, so we should not be exposing not working controls in sysfs.
The newer trackpoints also do not implement "Power On Reset" or "Read
Extended Button Status", so we should not be using these commands during
initialization.
While we are at it, let's change "unsigned char" to u8 for byte data or
bool for booleans and use better suited error codes instead of -1.

When saving BOs in the hang state we skip one entry of the
kernel_state->bo[] array, thus leaving it to NULL. This leads to a NULL
pointer dereference when, later in this function, we iterate over all
BOs to check their ->madv state.
