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.

invalidate API's

The old development toolchain binaries were hosted in the or1k-gcc
development github repo release page. However, now that we have all
code upstream I cut releases from stable upstream tarballs. It does not
make sense to tag the or1k-gcc github repo releases for these stable
releases.
Update the toolchain binaries URL to point to where they are now hosted
on the or1k-toolchain-build github release page.

When the select of PRIME_MUMBERS was removed from it's KUnit test
Kconfig nothing was added to the KUnit configs, meaning that when run
via the KUnit runner the tests are neither built nor run. Add
PRIME_NUMBERS to all_tests.config so they are enabled when the KUnit
runner builds the kernel.

Enabling a (modular) test should not silently enable additional kernel
functionality, as that may increase the attack vector of a product.
Fix this by making PRIME_NUMBERS_KUNIT_TEST depend on PRIME_NUMBERS
instead of selecting it.
After this, one can safely enable CONFIG_KUNIT_ALL_TESTS=m to build
modules for all appropriate tests for ones system, without pulling in
extra unwanted functionality, while still allowing a tester to manually
enable PRIME_NUMBERS and this test suite on a system where PRIME_NUMBERS
is not enabled by default. Resurrect CONFIG_PRIME_NUMBERS=m in
tools/testing/selftests/lib/config for the latter use case.

Add cacheinfo support for OpenRISC.
Currently, a few CPU cache attributes pertaining to OpenRISC processors
are exposed along with other unrelated CPU attributes in the procfs file
system (/proc/cpuinfo). However, a few cache attributes remain unexposed.
Provide a mechanism that the generic cacheinfo infrastructure can employ
to expose these attributes via the sysfs file system. These attributes
can then be exposed in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cache/indexN. Move
the implementation to pull cache attributes from the processor's
registers from arch/openrisc/kernel/setup.c with a few modifications.
This implementation is based on similar work done for MIPS and LoongArch.

Pull ata fixes from Damien Le Moal:
- Fix the incorrect return type of ata_mselect_control_ata_feature()
- Several fixes for the control of the Command Duration Limits feature
to avoid unnecessary enable and disable actions. Avoiding the
unnecessary enable action also avoids unwanted resets of the CDL
statistics log page as that is implied for any enable action.
- Fix the translation for sensing the control mode page to correctly
return the last enable or disable action performed, as defined in
SAT-6. This correct mode sense information is used to fix the
behavior of the scsi layer to avoid unnecessary mode select command
issuing.

Since b255ce4388e0, it is possible that the CRTC timing

calculated while amdgpu_dm_connector_mode_valid() is running.

Running lib_ubsan.ko on arm64 (without CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP) panics the
kernel:

That happens because the test corrupts other data in the stack:

410: 54000301 b.ne 470 <test_ubsan_out_of_bounds+0x154> // b.any
As there is no guarantee the compiler will order the local variables
as declared in the module:
volatile char above[4] = { }; /* Protect surrounding memory. */
volatile int arr[4];
volatile char below[4] = { }; /* Protect surrounding memory. */
There is another problem where the out-of-bound index is 5 which is larger
than the extra surrounding memory for protection.
So, use a struct to enforce the ordering, and fix the index to be 4.
Also, remove some of the volatiles and rely on OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR()

According to the OpenRISC architecture manual, the dcache and icache may
not be present. When these caches are present, the invalidate and flush
registers may be absent. The current implementation does not perform
checks to verify their presence before utilizing cache registers, or
invalidating and flushing cache blocks.
Introduce new functions to detect the presence of cache components and
related special-purpose registers.
There are a few places where a range of addresses have to be flushed or
invalidated and the implementation is duplicated. Introduce new utility
functions and macros that generalize this implementation and reduce
duplication.
