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.

strtobool() is the same as kstrtobool().
However, the latter is more used within the kernel.
In order to remove strtobool() and slightly simplify kstrtox.h, switch to
the other function name.
While at it, include the corresponding header file (<linux/kstrtox.h>)

Fix a kernel-doc warning by correcting the function name in the
kernel-doc comment:
drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmon.c:1073: warning: expecting prototype for fb_get_hblank_by_freq(). Prototype was for fb_get_hblank_by_hfreq() instead

Instead of checking the state of various backlight_properties fields
against the memorised state in atmel_lcdfb_info.bl_power,
atmel_bl_update_status() should retrieve the desired state using
backlight_get_brightness (which takes into account the power state,
blanking etc.). This means the explicit checks using props.fb_blank
and props.power can be dropped.
The backlight framework ensures that backlight is never negative, so
the test before reading the brightness from the hardware always ends
up false and the whole block can be removed. The framework retrieves
the brightness from the hardware through atmel_bl_get_brightness()
when necessary.
As a result, bl_power in struct atmel_lcdfb_info is no longer
necessary, so remove that while we're at it. Since we only ever care
about reading the current state in backlight_properties, drop the
updates at the end of the function.

Instead of retrieving the backlight brightness in struct
backlight_properties manually, and then checking whether the backlight
should be on at all, use backlight_get_brightness() which does all
this and insulates this from future changes.

Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:
- Three fixes for various bogosity in our linker script, revealed
by the recent commit which changed discard behaviour with some
toolchains.
* tag 'powerpc-6.2-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux:
powerpc/vmlinux.lds: Don't discard .comment
powerpc/vmlinux.lds: Don't discard .rela* for relocatable builds

Pull memblock fixes from Mike Rapoport:
"Small fixes in kernel-doc and tests:
- Fix kernel-doc for memblock_phys_free() to use correct names for
the counterpart allocation methods
- Fix compilation error in memblock tests"
* tag 'fixes-2023-01-08' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rppt/memblock:
memblock: Fix doc for memblock_phys_free
memblock tests: Fix compilation error.
Although the powerpc linker script mentions .comment in the DISCARD
section, that has never actually caused it to be discarded, because the
earlier ELF_DETAILS macro (previously STABS_DEBUG) explicitly includes
.comment.
However commit 99cb0d917ffa ("arch: fix broken BuildID for arm64 and
riscv") introduced an earlier use of DISCARD as part of the RO_DATA
macro. With binutils < 2.36 that causes the DISCARD directives later in
the script to be applied earlier, causing .comment to actually be
discarded.
It's confusing to explicitly include and discard .comment, and even more
so if the behaviour depends on the toolchain version. So don't discard
.comment in order to maintain the existing behaviour in all cases.
