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.

Pull scheduler fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Three fixlets for the scheduler:
- Avoid double bandwidth accounting in the push & pull code
- Use a sane FIFO priority for the Pressure Stall Information (PSI)
thread.
- Avoid permission checks when setting the scheduler params for the
PSI thread"
* 'sched-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
sched/psi: Do not require setsched permission from the trigger creator
sched/psi: Reduce psimon FIFO priority
sched/deadline: Fix double accounting of rq/running bw in push & pull
Pull irq fix from Thomas Gleixner:
"A small fix for the affinity spreading code.
It failed to handle situations where a single vector was requested
either due to only one CPU being available or vector exhaustion
causing only a single interrupt to be granted.
The fix is to simply remove the requirement in the affinity spreading
code for more than one interrupt being available"
* 'irq-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
genirq/affinity: Create affinity mask for single vector
When a process creates a new trigger by writing into /proc/pressure/*
files, permissions to write such a file should be used to determine whether
the process is allowed to do so or not. Current implementation would also
require such a process to have setsched capability. Setting of psi trigger
thread's scheduling policy is an implementation detail and should not be
exposed to the user level. Remove the permission check by using _nocheck
version of the function.

Pull objtool warning fix from Thomas Gleixner:
"The recent objtool fixes/enhancements unearthed a unbalanced CLAC in
the i915 driver.
Chris asked me to pick the fix up and route it through"
* 'core-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
drm/i915: Remove redundant user_access_end() from __copy_from_user() error path
Since commit c66d4bd110a1f8 ("genirq/affinity: Add new callback for
(re)calculating interrupt sets"), irq_create_affinity_masks() returns
NULL in case of single vector. This change has caused regression on some
drivers, such as lpfc.
The problem is that single vector requests can happen in some generic cases:
1) kdump kernel
2) irq vectors resource is close to exhaustion.
If in that situation the affinity mask for a single vector is not created,
every caller has to handle the special case.
There is no reason why the mask cannot be created, so remove the check for
a single vector and create the mask.
Fixes: c66d4bd110a1f8 ("genirq/affinity: Add new callback for (re)calculating interrupt sets")

PSI defaults to a FIFO-99 thread, reduce this to FIFO-1.
FIFO-99 is the very highest priority available to SCHED_FIFO and
it not a suitable default; it would indicate the psi work is the
most important work on the machine.
Since Real-Time tasks will have pre-allocated memory and locked it in
place, Real-Time tasks do not care about PSI. All it needs is to be
above OTHER.

user_access_end() in its error path adds an extra unnecessary CLAC.

{push,pull}_dl_task() always calls {de,}activate_task() with .flags=0
which sets p->on_rq=TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING.
{push,pull}_dl_task()->{de,}activate_task()->{de,en}queue_task()->
{de,en}queue_task_dl() calls {sub,add}_{running,rq}_bw() since
p->on_rq==TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING.
So {sub,add}_{running,rq}_bw() in {push,pull}_dl_task() is
double-accounting for that task.
Fix it by removing rq/running bw accounting in [push/pull]_dl_task().

A compilation -Wimplicit-fallthrough warning was enabled by commit
a035d552a93b ("Makefile: Globally enable fall-through warning")
Even though clang 10.0.0 does not currently support this warning without
a patch, clang currently does not support a value for this option.
Link: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39382
The gcc default for this warning is 3 so removing the =3 has no effect
for gcc and enables the warning for patched versions of clang.
Also remove the =3 from an existing use in a parisc Makefile:

It turns out that the current version of gfs2_metadata_walker suffers
from multiple problems that can cause gfs2_hole_size to report an
incorrect size. This will confuse fiemap as well as lseek with the
SEEK_DATA flag.
Fix that by changing gfs2_hole_walker to compute the metapath to the
first data block after the hole (if any), and compute the hole size
based on that.
Fixes xfstest generic/490.
