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 ARM SoC fixes from Olof Johansson:
"Again, a batch that's been sitting a couple of weeks, mostly because
I anticipated a bit more material but it didn't show up -- which is
good.
These are all your garden variety fixes for ARM platforms.
The most visible issue fixed here is probably the SMP reset issue on
OMAP, the rest are minor stuff"

Commit 729204ef49ec("block: relax check on sg gap") allows us to merge
bios, if both are physically contiguous. This change can merge a huge
number of small bios, through mkfs for example, mkfs.ntfs running time
can be decreased to ~1/10.
But if one rq starts with a non-aligned buffer (the 1st bvec's bv_offset
is non-zero) and if we allow the merge, it is quite difficult to respect
sg gap limit, especially the max segment size, or we risk having an
unaligned virtual boundary. This patch tries to avoid the issue by
disallowing a merge, if the req starts with an unaligned buffer.
Also add comments to explain why the merged segment can't end in
unaligned virt boundary.

Starting from commit 5de85b9d57ab ("PM / runtime: Re-init runtime PM
states at probe error and driver unbind") pm_runtime core now changes
device runtime_status back to after RPM_SUSPENDED after a probe defer.
Certain OMAP devices make use of "ti,no-idle-on-init" flag which causes
omap_device_enable to be called during the BUS_NOTIFY_ADD_DEVICE event
during probe, along with pm_runtime_set_active.
This call to pm_runtime_set_active typically will prevent a call to
pm_runtime_get in a driver probe function from re-enabling the
omap_device. However, in the case of a probe defer that happens before
the driver probe function is able to run, such as a missing pinctrl
states defer, pm_runtime_reinit will set the device as RPM_SUSPENDED and
then once driver probe is actually able to run, pm_runtime_get will see
the device as suspended and call through to the omap_device layer,
attempting to enable the already enabled omap_device and causing errors
like this:
omap-gpmc 50000000.gpmc: omap_device: omap_device_enable() called from
invalid state 1
omap-gpmc 50000000.gpmc: use pm_runtime_put_sync_suspend() in driver?
We can avoid this error by making sure the pm_runtime status of a device
matches the omap_device state before a probe attempt. By extending the
omap_device bus notifier to act on the BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER event we
can check if a device is enabled in omap_device but with a pm_runtime
status of RPM_SUSPENDED and once again mark the device as RPM_ACTIVE to
avoid a second incorrect call to omap_device_enable.

Board code cannot call mdiobus_register_board_info() when phylib
or mdio_device is a loadable module:
arch/arm/plat-orion/common.o: In function `orion_ge00_switch_init':
:(.init.text+0x474): undefined reference to `mdiobus_register_board_info'
I had a number of ideas for how this could be solved, but after the MDIO
code got split out from PHYLIB it has gotten too hard, so I'm basically
giving up, and only call the mdiobus_register_board_info() function
if the MDIO layer is built-in to avoid the link error. This is similar
to how we handle PHY registration on other ARM platforms.

Commit 3251885285e1 ("ARM: OMAP4+: Reset CPU1 properly for kexec") started
unconditionally resetting CPU1 because of a kexec boot issue I was seeing
earlier on omap4 when doing kexec boot between two different kernel
versions.
This caused issues on some systems. We should only reset CPU1 as a last
resort option, and try to avoid it where possible. Doing an unconditional
CPU1 reset causes issues for example when booting a bootloader configured
secure OS running on CPU1 as reported by Andrew F. Davis <afd@ti.com>.
We can't completely remove the reset of CPU1 as it would break kexec
booting from older kernels. But we can limit the CPU1 reset to cases
where CPU1 is wrongly parked within the memory area used by the booting
kernel. Then later on we can add support for parking CPU1 for kexec out
of the SDRAM back to bootrom.
So let's first fix the regression reported by Andrew by making CPU1 reset
conditional. To do this, we need to:
1. Save configured AUX_CORE_BOOT_1 for later
2. Modify AUX_CORE_BOOT_0 reading code to for HS SoCs to return
the whole register instead of the CPU mask
3. Check if CPU1 is wrongly parked into the booting kernel by the
previous kernel and reset if needed
