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.

Lots of gadget and the usual XHCI fixups for reported issues (one day
that driver will calm down...) Also included are a bunch of usb-serial
driver fixes, and for good measure, a number of much-reported MUSB

The gpiod_get* function family does not want the -gpio suffix.
Use devm_gpiod_get_index_optional instead of devm_gpiod_get_optional.
The descriptor based APIs handle active high/low automatically.
The vbus-gpios are output, request enable while getting the gpio.
Don't try to get any vbus-gpios for ports outside num-ports.

Several people report seeing warnings about inconsistent radix tree
nodes followed by crashes in the workingset code, which all looked like
use-after-free access from the shadow node shrinker.
Dave Jones managed to reproduce the issue with a debug patch applied,
which confirmed that the radix tree shrinking indeed frees shadow nodes
while they are still linked to the shadow LRU:
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 53 at lib/radix-tree.c:643 delete_node+0x1e4/0x200
CPU: 2 PID: 53 Comm: kswapd0 Not tainted 4.10.0-rc2-think+ #3
Call Trace:

shrink_slab.part.44+0x23d/0x5d0
shrink_node+0x22c/0x330
kswapd+0x392/0x8f0
This is the WARN_ON_ONCE(!list_empty(&node->private_list)) placed in the
inlined radix_tree_shrink().
The problem is with 14b468791fa9 ("mm: workingset: move shadow entry
tracking to radix tree exceptional tracking"), which passes an update
callback into the radix tree to link and unlink shadow leaf nodes when
tree entries change, but forgot to pass the callback when reclaiming a
shadow node.
While the reclaimed shadow node itself is unlinked by the shrinker, its
deletion from the tree can cause the left-most leaf node in the tree to
be shrunk. If that happens to be a shadow node as well, we don't unlink
it from the LRU as we should.
Consider this tree, where the s are shadow entries:
root->rnode
|
[0 n]
| |
[s ] [sssss]
Now the shadow node shrinker reclaims the rightmost leaf node through
the shadow node LRU:
root->rnode
|
[0 ]
|
[s ]
Because the parent of the deleted node is the first level below the
root and has only one child in the left-most slot, the intermediate
level is shrunk and the node containing the single shadow is put in
its place:
root->rnode
|
[s ]
The shrinker again sees a single left-most slot in a first level node
and thus decides to store the shadow in root->rnode directly and free
the node - which is a leaf node on the shadow node LRU.
root->rnode
|
s
Without the update callback, the freed node remains on the shadow LRU,
where it causes later shrinker runs to crash.
Pass the node updater callback into __radix_tree_delete_node() in case
the deletion causes the left-most branch in the tree to collapse too.
Also add warnings when linked nodes are freed right away, rather than
wait for the use-after-free when the list is scanned much later.

4.10-rc loadtest (even on x86, and even without THPCache) fails with
"fork: Cannot allocate memory" or some such; and /proc/meminfo shows
PageTables growing.
Commit 953c66c2b22a ("mm: THP page cache support for ppc64") that got
merged in rc1 removed the freeing of an unused preallocated pagetable
after do_fault_around() has called map_pages().
This is usually a good optimization, so that the followup doesn't have
to reallocate one; but it's not sufficient to shift the freeing into
alloc_set_pte(), since there are failure cases (most commonly
VM_FAULT_RETRY) which never reach finish_fault().
Check and free it at the outer level in do_fault(), then we don't need
to worry in alloc_set_pte(), and can restore that to how it was (I
cannot find any reason to pte_free() under lock as it was doing).
And fix a separate pagetable leak, or crash, introduced by the same
change, that could only show up on some ppc64: why does do_set_pmd()'s
failure case attempt to withdraw a pagetable when it never deposited
one, at the same time overwriting (so leaking) the vmf->prealloc_pte?
Residue of an earlier implementation, perhaps? Delete it.

All i.MX6 SoCs have an OCOTP Controller with 4kbit fuses. The i.MX6SL is
an exception and has only 2kbit fuses.
In the TRM for the i.MX6DQ (IMX6QDRM - Rev 2, 06/2014) the fuses size is
described in chapter 46.1.1 with:
"32-bit word restricted program and read to 4Kbits of eFuse OTP(512x8)."
In the TRM for the i.MX6SL (IMX6SLRM - Rev 2, 06/2015) the fuses size is
described in chapter 34.1.1 with:
"32-bit word restricted program and read to 2 kbit of eFuse OTP(128x8)."
Since the Freescale Linux kernel OCOTP driver works with a fuses size of
2 kbit for the i.MX6SL, it looks like the TRM is wrong and the formula
to calculate the correct fuses size has to be 256x8.
