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 x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"This update provides:
- prevent KASLR from randomizing EFI regions
- restrict the usage of -maccumulate-outgoing-args and document when
and why it is required.
- make the Global Physical Address calculation for UV4 systems work
correctly.
- address a copy->paste->forgot-edit problem in the MCE exception
table entries.
- assign a name to AMD MCA bank 3, so the sysfs file registration
works.
- add a missing include in the boot code"

Pull scheduler fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"This update provides:
- make the scheduler clock switch to unstable mode smooth so the
timestamps stay at microseconds granularity instead of switching to
tick granularity.
- unbreak perf test tsc by taking the new offset into account which
was added in order to proveide better sched clock continuity
- switching sched clock to unstable mode runs all clock related
computations which affect the sched clock output itself from a work
queue. In case of preemption sched clock uses half updated data and
provides wrong timestamps. Keep the math in the protected context
and delegate only the static key switch to workqueue context.
- remove a duplicate header include"

The code responsible for splitting periods into chunks that
can be handled by the DMA controller missed to update total_len,
the number of bytes processed in the current period, when there
are more chunks to follow.
Therefore total_len was stuck at 0 and the code didn't work at all.
This resulted in a wrong control block layout and audio issues because
the cyclic DMA callback wasn't executing on period boundaries.
Fix this by adding the missing total_len update.

MCA bank 3 is reserved on systems pre-Fam17h, so it didn't have a name.
However, MCA bank 3 is defined on Fam17h systems and can be accessed
using legacy MSRs. Without a name we get a stack trace on Fam17h systems
when trying to register sysfs files for bank 3 on kernels that don't
recognize Scalable MCA.
Call MCA bank 3 "decode_unit" since this is what it represents on
Fam17h. This will allow kernels without SMCA support to see this bank on
Fam17h+ and prevent the stack trace. This will not affect older systems
since this bank is reserved on them, i.e. it'll be ignored.
Tested on AMD Fam15h and Fam17h systems.

Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Two small fixes for the new CLKEVT_OF infrastructure"
* 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
vmlinux.lds: Add __clkevt_of_table to kernel
clockevents: Fix syntax error in clkevt-of macro
Pull a single UEFI fix from Ard:
- Reduce the severity of the notice that appears when the ESRT table points
to memory that is not covered by the memory map. It is scaring our users
and interfering with their nice splash screens. Note that the ESRT may still
be perfectly usable, and is currently (to my knowledge) not widely used to
begin with.
When it is determined that the clock is actually unstable, and
we switch from stable to unstable, the __clear_sched_clock_stable()
function is eventually called.
In this function we set gtod_offset so the following holds true:
sched_clock() + raw_offset == ktime_get_ns() + gtod_offset
But instead of getting the latest timestamps, we use the last values
from scd, so instead of sched_clock() we use scd->tick_raw, and
instead of ktime_get_ns() we use scd->tick_gtod.
However, later, when we use gtod_offset sched_clock_local() we do not
add it to scd->tick_gtod to calculate the correct clock value when we
determine the boundaries for min/max clocks.
This can result in tick granularity sched_clock() values, so fix it.
